if you understand the normal distribution you had damn well better know that there are other probability distributions .\nhowever , a single individual can be richer than the poorest 2 billion humans . so wealth follows a scale independent distribution .\nthe issue was not just that these distributions displayed taleb characteristics : these market activities were devised with taleb characteristics in mind .\ni have several times in this column described the taleb distribution of regular small profits interspersed by large losses . taleb distributions are the basis of the carry trade \u2013 which exploits interest rate differentials \u2013 and many types of statistical arbitrage . taleb distributions are exploited by traders in hedge funds and at proprietary trading desks .\nthere are other , less abstruse examples . drinking more than is good for us has a taleb distribution . so does smoking \u2013 after all , most smokers do not get lung cancer .\nholy grail distribution is a missing piece in almost every investment portfolio seeking protection from tail risk events combined with positive average returns .\nexactly . i ' m astounded that this basic fact - that financial modelers have been using the wrong distribution for decades is not being denounced . for example , the capital asset pricing model ( capm ) which assumes that returns fall on a normal distribution .\nof what you wrote , but i think you should reread your reply to taleb with as much scrutiny as you read taleb .\nthere are business lessons to be drawn from the bad habits of french drivers . we need to beware of activities whose outcomes have a taleb distribution \u2013 many small gains punctuated by occasional large losses .\nrealization by who ? if you understand the normal distribution you had damn well better know that there are other probability distributions .\nkay goes on to add that governments yesterday as well as today appear to creating responses that are once again premised on the tailgating distribution .\npeople rarely check how closely their data conform to the standard distribution ; indeed , many people blindly apply the standard deviation to their data regardless of its distribution ! the resulting number is often more obfuscatory than helpful , to the extent that it crowded out more useful summaries .\nin other words , we ' re using the normal distribution as the workhorse because considering other distributions is , well , inefficient / unproductive .\nthe name holy grail distribution captures both the difficulty of finding a strategy with these characteristics and the unique value it provides to an asset allocator .\nthe truth is that most times we don\u2019t know the probability distribution at all . because the world is not a predictable casino game \u2014 an error nassim taleb calls the ludic fallacy \u2014 the best we can do is guess .\ntaleb has a good point about people mistakenly interpreting standard deviation ( sigma ) as mean absolute deviation ( mad ) . i like that he gives some conversions ( sigma ~ = 1 . 25 * mad , for normal distribution ) .\nit is hard to deliver returns with holy grail distribution using only replication and generally available asset classes ; such returns have to be\nengineered\n. at the same time , allocation to investment instruments and strategies with holy grail distribution of returns may provide clear benefits of diversification and protection from periodic market - performance shocks .\nwell , frequentist methods are taking the blame for the most recent financial crisis , such as assuming a normal distribution when the empirical one is fat - tailed .\nperhaps the bayesian methods will take the blame in the next financial crisis . such as the error in estimating a non - stationary distribution and quantifying the uncertainty .\n[ \u2026 ] out scott locklin\u2019s brutal takedown of our favorite blowhard , nassim taleb . the only part i disagree with it where locklin calls taleb [ \u2026 ]\ni didn\u2019t read taleb carefully enough to know whether he was targeting only quants .\ncompute - intensive statistical tests , which are data - driven and make fewer assumptions about the underlying distribution , can give tighter confidence intervals and detect statistical significance better .\ncan we escape the taleb problem ? understanding risk is the prelude to managing it . we know instinctively that the tailgating driver is not really smart \u2013 and nor is the high - yield bond trader . taleb exploits his distribution by looking for its opposite : trading strategies in securities markets that offer frequent small losses and occasional large gains .\nhowever described , it is the same thing : a distribution of returns that produces frequent small profits punctuated by occasional very large losses . a high proportion of trading \u2013 and business \u2013 strategies in financial markets have this tailgating characteristic . i call it the taleb distribution , after the author of fooled by randomness ( an earlier , and better , book than the more widely read black swan ) , which gives numerous instances .\ntaleb ' s favorite topic is the\nblack swan event\nwhich is something that the normal distribution , and the idea of standard deviation , don ' t model that well . in a normal distribution very extreme events should only happen once in the lifetime of several universes . of course assuming variation inline with a gaussian process is at the heart of how the black - sholes model calculates risk / volatility / etc .\ni sometimes think that progress in the 21st century will be summed up as :\nthe realization that the normal distribution is not the only way to model data\n.\na distribution built from mad will more closely resemble the reality of the s & p returns , and will create more robust models . there are many examples of this .\nadditionally , i will mention that we do not need normal distributions to make special the idea of standard deviations . in fact , it is the geometry of probability - the fact that independent random variables have standard deviations which\npoint\nin orthogonal directions - which causes the normal distribution to be the resulting distribution of the central limit theorem .\ngee , d\u2019ya think so bub ? maybe i should go have some acupuncture done to harmonize my narcissism . taleb as schindler ? how about taleb as jesus sufferin\u2019 christ ?\nvery nice ! i did have his books on my reading list . but this whole discussion definitely puts me closer to the\nwaste of my time\nside of the distribution .\ni never heard about taleb distributiom , is my first time sounds interesting . . . .\nthe fact you largely resort to attacking straw men rather than taleb\u2019s actual arguments says everything .\ni was initially very curious about your post . finding a substantive argument against taleb\u2019s thinking is actually quite difficult to track down . imagine my disappointment when i discovered your post was mostly an ad hominem review of taleb the man rather than an measured analysis of taleb\u2019s ideas .\nltcm had lots of small up months and a few large down months . this is not detected by the sharpe ratio as it assumes a symmetry in the distribution of returns . \u2013 nnt\nwhat is more , his idea of black swans is not original , every experienced investor is aware that stock returns don\u2019t follow a predictable distribution , that the end outcomes are extremely uncertain .\nthe pareto distribution , better known as the 80 / 20 rule , states that 80 % of the effects come from 20 % of the causes . for example , in most businesses 20 % of clients will generate 80 % of the income , 20 % of clients will generate the most customer service requests and so on . taleb argues that we\u2019re moving to a 99 / 1 distribution , away from 80 / 20 . this shift has profound implications for our economy and society .\non page 240 , taleb writes that gauss , in using the normal distribution , \u201cwas a mathematician dealing with a theoretical point , not making claims about the structure of reality like statistical - minded scientists . \u201d i don\u2019t have my stigler right here , but i\u2019d always understood that gauss developed least squares and the normal distribution in the context of fitting curves to astronomical observations . sure he did lots of pure math , but he ( and laplace ) were doing empirical science too .\nyou have provided an interesting comment to taleb , but there are several things you are missing .\nthank god somebody else out there sees that taleb is as mad as a bag of bats .\npeople ask why people get the heckles up about taleb , and it isn ' t actually about taleb at all . it ' s about the , for lack of a better phrase , taleb\nfan boys\n. bizarre that such a thing exists , but people like having their prophet .\ntaleb distributions are good when you have experienced only the upside . a taleb distribution led to the crises in the lloyd\u2019s insurance market . excess - of - loss policies \u2013 t he lmx spiral \u2013 insured other syndicates against losses of unprecedented magnitude . the underwriters pointed out that they had taken in premiums for many years and paid nothing out . you do not have to be as smart as taleb to see the flaw but you do have to be a little smarter than the feltrim and gooda walker syndicates .\nyet , taleb\u2019s writing makes all those assumptions . if you can fill in the missing steps , then you will find that taleb provides a strong argument for why and how we got to this point .\nthank you . i don ' t think it is intellectually honest for taleb to omit this fact .\n> also he alludes to his paper with goldstein . it is clear form goldstein and taleb ' s manuscript that that taleb is not just throwing these arguments to talk trash about practitioners of statistics . they\nmany apparently successful traders and business people are still on the upside of their taleb distribution . they are accidents waiting to happen . it puzzled me for years that so many organisations believed they were making money out of proprietary trading in securities markets . these businesses were trading mostly with each other : since there is no perpetual motion , where did the money to fuel the system come from ? from taleb distributions .\nwhat taleb failed to mention is that , once properly understood , standard deviation has distribution interpretations that can be much more useful than mad . for example , if the data is approximately normally distributed , then there is approximately a 99 . 99 % probability that the next data observation will be < = 4 * sigma .\ntaleb , the non - experts , expert non - expert . or something . too jokes , anyway .\nthis is actually what i expected to read :\nthe standard deviation is useful because with the average and the standard deviation , one can fully characterize a normal distribution . however , the standard deviation is less useful a statistical summary the farther away from ' normal ' you get , and in reality , there is no such thing as a normal distribution , as a true normal distribution is defined on the entire real number line from negative infinity to positive infinity . reality always provides some bound , and it ' s often quite distorted from guassian . for instance , a ' normal ' distribution averaging 2 with a standard deviation of 1 . 4 , bounded by 0 , is quite non - gaussian in many important ways ! ( not least of which is that you ' re going to have to do something to replace the missing probability . . . )\ngreat article btw . i used to adore taleb\u2019s fbr , but that was before i entered the world of finance and trading . taleb tends to repeat the obvious , and so tbs didn\u2019t do too much for me .\nhis essential black - swan point is that extreme uncertainties cannot be parameterized by any distribution , that we fool ourselves when we translate \u201cuncertainty\u201d into \u201crisk\u201d as characterized by any distribution . it\u2019s a good point , it\u2019s as old as the hills , but it\u2019s a good point\u2026the rest of black - swan expounds on the biases that comform us in parameterizing risk ; e . g . , excel has cells for numbers , so the numbers must mean something\nthe normal distribution is fantastic in that it does appear frequently in nature , is very well behaved , and has been extensively studied . however a great amount of future progress is going to come from wrestling with more challenging distributions , and paying more attention to when assumptions of normality need to be questioned . of course one of the challenges of this is that the normal distribution is baked into a very large number of our existing statistical tools .\nit\u2019s an argument that\u2019s well known , and pretty much irrelevant . as aaron brown put it , \u201c ( taleb\u2019s book ) reads as if taleb has never heard of nonparametric methods , data analysis , visualization tools or robust estimation\u201d\nsecond , absolute nails sentiment that taleb engenders , i\u201dve read his books and i\u2019ve listened to him , but he never seems to get beyond the obvious ( fat tails , gaussian distribution\u2026yes\u2026we know that\u2026thanks\u2026 ) he didn\u2019t convince me that he actually is a true quant with a meaningful , progressive self - critique . this makes sense of the posturing .\nbut please , keep buying china inc . more money for guys like taleb once the markets come crashing down again .\nit would be nice to think taleb\u2019s contribution to intellectual discourse is a net positive . i don\u2019t agree , obviously .\nto reiterate , there ' s nothing wrong with the normal distribution . we ' re not about to retire addition or subtraction just because there are\nplenty of people who don ' t really realize\nthere ' s more to math .\ncould you sketch out why similar statements couldn ' t be made about mad ? my ( possibly flawed ) intuition is that the expected proportion of observations within n \\ * mad should be similarly independent of the parameters of the normal distribution .\nthe standard deviation and assumptions of normality are so useful because of the central limit theorem . that is , if you have many iid variables which have finite standard deviation the sum will converge to a gaussian distribution as the number of variables increases .\nif taleb\u2019s arguments were obvious in the way you suggest , clearly there would not be a market for them . simple .\ni understand from the papers that taleb is now in a big fight with merton . i agree with him on that .\nfor five years until 2004 spitznagel and taleb ran empirica , a hedge fund very similar to universa that in its short tenure generated low double - digit returns . after taleb became seriously ill the duo shut the fund . taleb has since given up money management to teach risk management at polytechnic institute of nyu in brooklyn , write books and advise foreign governments on his theories .\ni disagree with your comparison of taleb to popper . popper would write things which occasionally made sense . feyeraband and taleb seem to be more of the \u201cmakin\u2019 raspberries\u201d school of disputation . throwing kuhn in there \u2026 at least kuhn eventually repented of his sins .\ntaleb\u2019s antics are what he sells . nobody actually cares about his criticisms of specific models : it\u2019s rare that he actually makes any . were taleb out there criticizing actual quant models , you know , by naming them , then stating in clear unequivocal terms where they don\u2019t work and why , and maybe even points out a useful alternative , i would be a taleb fan . hell , in that event , i would be a taleb sahabah ; companion to the prophet . instead taleb goes on television and the ft and blurts out that \u201cnobody knows nuthin . \u201d as such , the just argument against a stupid head is a clenched fist .\ni also like how a lot of the people attacking taleb here , are making exactly the mistakes he describes in his books .\nas of late on new year ' s day , i have still not heard from taleb via email . just too busy .\nnassim taleb on the notion of alternative histories \u2014 \u201cthe quality of a decision cannot be solely judged based on its outcome . \u201d\nif data is drawn from a laplace distribution of the form p ( x ) = exp ( - | x | ) , the mean absolute deviation is more informative than the standard deviation , but if its form is close to the normal , p ( x ) = exp ( - x ^ 2 ) , the standard deviation is more important . so whether to use the mean absolute or standard deviation depends on the distribution of the data . there is a field called robust statistics that looks at this question .\ntaleb\u2019s books introduced me to seneca and stoicism and a whole area of a psychological biases that i hadn\u2019t really spent much time considering or thinking about beforehand or reading . other books cover these areas better . for stoicism , actually reading seneca\u2019s letters or marcus aurelius\u2019s meditations is better than reading taleb\u2019s version of it . for psychological biases , actually reading daniel kahneman is better than reading taleb . it sounds like in the areas where you agree with taleb with finance or math , you think a person would gain better understanding elsewhere .\nthe central limit theorem shows us that unimodal data with lots of independent sources of error tends towards a normal distribution . that description is a good first - pass , descriptive model for lots and lots of contexts , and standard deviation speaks well to normally distributed data .\ni just have a simple question for taleb\u2019s defenders . i\u2019d love to know where he has offered more than the following two ideas :\naug . 16 \u2014 nassim nicholas taleb , adviser at universa investments , sat down for an interview with erik schatzker tuesday evening in new york . taleb , famous for his assessment of risk , says there are greater risks out there than nuclear war with north korea .\nthe holy grail distribution has a positive mean to justify the instrument ' s permanent role in the asset allocation framework . its positive fat tail , which is\nco - located\nwith the left tail of other instruments , adds protection to investment portfolios during tail risk events .\nodd enough . i think he\u2019s smeared buffet and charlie munger as \u201clucky\u201d before , though i may be confusing taleb with burton malkiel here .\nthis article is based on paper taleb published in 2007 . if you want to test yourself , submit yourself to experiment in page 3 :\nkey point number one in this memo is that the future should be viewed not as a fixed outcome that\u2019s destined to happen and capable of being predicted , but as a range of possibilities and , hopefully on the basis of insight into their respective likelihoods , as a probability distribution .\ni don\u2019t have a problem with your comments about taleb , because he\u2019s never interested me enough to pay attention to what he has to say .\ntaleb the philosopher observes that when it comes to the preservation and perpetuation of life , negative advice is more useful \u2013 the thou shalt nots .\nyour post was in reply to someone asking about taleb ' s black swans so i assumed you were talking about 2008 in reference to that .\nnassim nicholas taleb , fooled by randomness : the hidden role of chance in the markets and in life , new york : texere , 2001 .\nthis is hardly a matter of trust , anton . scott has pointed you in the direction of the relevant academic literature as regards taleb\u2019s revival of the long - shot lure . and if you want to know what an expert in extreme value theory thinks of taleb , you can read this :\nof course taleb would not offer a useful alternative . he says repeatedly that there is no useful alternative . throw them all away ! ! ! !\ni just came across this taleb interview made in february 2008 , about taleb\u2019s view on simons . taleb says verbatim answering the 4th question ( about buffet ) : . . the only two people i think who are not lucky ; there is soros and then there is the other gentleman from renaissance . simons , he is not lucky . he is beyond . there is no exposure to uncertainty on his models . \u201d the video is here : urltoken\nthat ' s not interesting ? i think the difference between theory and practice is intensely interesting , and taleb has a lot to say about it .\nno . it is the ideology of dissing taleb . obviously i am not his paid spokesperson . but please argue to the merit of his arguments .\nmore interesting will be how the fda takes into account the arguments that taleb and co put forward . expect fireworks in the coming weeks and months .\nmany economists and , by direct extension , financiers thought they had quantified all forms of risk . by quantifying all forms of risk , you can compute the first derivative . taleb and scores of others argued that all risk cannot be quantified . taleb made this argument long before the publication of black swan .\nahhh taleb\u2026 you got to hand it to taleb , he has a huge head for heights , but has he really got those \u201cstreet smarts\u201d he so oft speaks of ? its quite obvious that the success of dynamic hedging had an funny ( ha ) effect on him . barking mad ? definately maybe .\nwhat about bank\u2019s debt converted into equity ? ? ! ! ! this was after all the quantitative easing , only taleb transferred the concept to individual consumers .\nmaybe taleb is in fact the genius he sets out to prove himself to be . after all , he did come up with a seemingly valid formula :\nfor the most part , taleb criticizes everything but he never offers any solutions . his observations when they make sense are trivial , like tails are fat .\n[ \u2026 ] scott locklin on nassim nicholas taleb . akpc _ ids + =\n126 ,\n; popularity : unranked [ ? ] [ \u2026 ]\nactually , taleb has explicitly stated that the 2008 financial crisis was not a black swan nor does he claim to be able to predict any of them .\nit is sad that taleb does not see the value in the standard deviation ; standard deviation is far more natural , and more useful , than mad .\nstill , i think that non - parametric methods are much more valuable as a solution to dealing with non - normal data than what taleb is proposing .\n> the problem of course is that the cauchy distribution is pathological in that it doesn ' t have a mean or variance , you can calculate similar properties for it ( location and scale ) , but it doesn ' t obey the central limit theorem so in practice it can be very strange to work with .\na key difference between these types of risks is the statistical structure of their impact . this structure is either dependent on scale or independent of scale . an example of a scale - dependent distribution is the weight of an adult human which is generally never greater than about 10 times the weight of an average human .\nalso he alludes to his paper with goldstein . it is clear form goldstein and taleb ' s manuscript that that taleb is not just throwing these arguments to talk trash about practitioners of statistics . they report findings of an experiment with multiple groups of applied statisticians . i ' ll quote from it [ 1 ] :\nanother solution to the problem of hedging tail risk events is to have a complementary strategy with a performance pattern that helps reduce the impact of market performance shocks . an instrument with a returns distribution featuring a positive mean and a fat , right ( positive ) tail that is realized just when traditional portfolios take a hit .\nthe black swan book ? really , it\u2019s like taleb found a way to fill his publisher\u2019s ink cartridges with crap before having the manuscript sent to the printers .\nexcellent ! another entertaining piece of fiction . much shorter than the first , but since i\u2019m a complete unknown and taleb is well - known that\u2019s only appropriate .\nthere is no snark in my post : i am outright calling taleb a false prophet who is guilty of exactly the things he criticizes in fooled by randomness .\nby the way , i studied some stock rates to see taleb ' s arguments , a thing i normally wouldn ' t do . see my blog above .\ntagged with black swans , delta hedging , implied volatility , nassim taleb , nickels in front of a steamroller , options , vix , volatility , volatility arbitrage .\ni don\u2019t think the essential criticism is that taleb is hysterical .

writer in quantitative finance at present is nassim taleb . his latest screed in the financial times is what spurred me to write this post . the article wasn\u2019t entirely written by taleb - though i guess the other guy is his fund partner , so it is no surprise that it suffers from all the mush headed absurdity of taleb\u2019s other articles and books . i won\u2019t pick on the other guy ; or even mention his name : he\u2019s got a job to do , and he has the good manners to not make himself a public figure . taleb , on the other hand , is sort of the paul feyerabend of quantitative finance . like feyerabend , he is well read , a good writer and quite charming . like feyerabend , taleb seems to earn his daily bread by showing up and being kind of witty . finally , both feyerabend and taleb are very much against method . this means , effectively , they\u2019re both intellectual nihilists . feyerabend thought we couldn\u2019t know anything for various reasons too silly to get into right now . taleb thinks all of quantitative finance is nonsense and we should do away with quants . i am guessing the former\u2019s delusions had something to do with drinking the same berkeley tapwater in the 1960s which made everyone else believe in crazy things , but taleb was a trader , and it\u2019s a common prejudice of traders to dislike quants for cutting into their p / l .\nif you want to make that argument , then you need to look at popper . indeed , taleb\u2019s writing and logic are much closer to popper than any of the relativists .\nthe problem that taleb is generally referring to in financial models ( and those are the published models , not proprietary models ) is that they use statistical concepts founded from physics .\ni don ' t agree with your ' vile idiot ' statement but i mostly concur with your thoughts . i hope that you don ' t let taleb affect your senescence .\nthe appeal of any popular mountebank is best summed up by p . t . barnum : there is one born every minute . had taleb been an honest writer , he might have educated his readers on the concept of \u201csample bias . \u201d but if taleb were an honest writer , nobody would read his stuff . smugness is a lot cheaper than understanding .\ni guess i share taleb ' s problems with models . even before i read taleb i would say to myself\nthe map is not the territory\n, particularly with regard to software abstractions . i think the space between the model and reality is where you find a lot of interesting things ( including the ability to make a lot of money ) .\nsecond , in regard to conglac2009\u2019s ( michael\u2019s ) comment , taleb shouldn\u2019t be requiring , or expecting , ft readers to read his prior books before reading an op -

of course this will vary with market liquidity . this strategy is commonly employed by major hedge funds and is commonly referred to as\npicking pennies up ahead of a steamroller\nnassim taleb criticized pinker\u2019s arguments a few years ago , arguing that pinker didn\u2019t take proper account of the statistical nature of war as a historical phenomenon , specifically as a time series of events characterized by fat tails . such processes naturally have long periods of quiescence , which get ripped apart by tumultuous upheavals , and they lure the mind into mistaken interpretations . pinker responded , clarifying his view , and the quotes above come from that response . pinker acknowledged the logical possibility of taleb\u2019s view , but suggested that taleb had \u201cno evidence that is true , or even plausible . \u201d\nit ' s a useful metric when treated carefully , but it is rare to encounter it treated carefully . science courses would be well - served to stop teaching it in favor of a stronger emphasis on multiple distributions . ( multiple distributions are usually touched upon , but implicitly our curricula overfavor the gaussian distribution and end up accidentally implicitly convincing students its the only one . )\nthis has nothing to do with taleb and everything to do with genuine intellectual inquiry . if academics were thinkers rather than followers , it would be possible to prevent the gross abuse of paradigms .\nauthor of ' the black swan ' and ' fooled by randomness ' former trader nassim nicholas taleb illustrates the concept of the ' barbell strategy ' -

a risk hedging strategy robust to losses .\nif you are scratching your head in utter confusion , do not worry . i will continue to delve into this topic with examples and pictures so that we can all grasp the basics . the general idea for the strategy is that options inherently trade at an implied volatility that is higher than realized volatility on average . some academics ( nassim taleb ) believe that options trade at a higher implied volatility because black - scholes assumes a normal , bell shaped , distribution in stock returns . we can all agree that stock returns are anything but normal after going through the extreme volatility of 2008 . in fact , during the 4th quarter of 2008 the s & p 500 had moves in excess of + / - 5 % during 25 % of the trading days . if we assume that the s & p 500 has a long - term standard deviation of 20 % on average , then a 5 % daily move is in excess of 4 standard deviations . in a nutshell , equity markets are fat - tailed , meaning that observations that are far away from the mean happen much more frequently than a normal distribution can account for . nassim taleb would argue that these \u201cblack swan\u201d events more than wipe out the small profits from selling options .\nanother problematic example comes from taleb\u2019s disdain for mathematics in economics . he has misstated his case . a minority of economics , finance , and marketing faculty believe that economics has become nothing more than calculus . taleb\u2019s disdain comes from falsificationists\u2019 philosophy . there are two types of theories : theories that have been disproved ( e . g . , newtonian physics ) and theories that cannot be disproved given current research methods .\nfunny , i\u2019m pretty sure the sharpe ratio does pretty well at noticing that taleb\u2019s fund is a massive pile of suck . feel free to pick any other performance metric : yearly returns , cumulative returns , sortino ratio , bias ratio ; doesn\u2019t matter : his fund still amounts to \u201ccapital assets destruction model . \u201d wheras betting against taleb\u2019s dumb strat is a good business , and tail risks can apparently be managed .\n> taleb doesn ' t point one situation when mad works better than sd ( i pointed out some where sd works better than mad ) he also doesn ' t address obvious problems which such substitutions create .\nyou state that\nstandard deviation tells you how volatile measurements are\n. but taleb shows how financial markets are non - gaussian and have\nfat tails\nand gives the data and the supporting arguments .\nthough , i do not fully agree to the second part of your analysis as i think you miss taleb\u2019s point . \u2013 a black swan event is by definition unex\u0001p\u0001ected . the best we can do is hedge against those events . when taleb says one shall be long on options , it is only a matter of the capped loss they provide ( even if the payoff may be lower than selling options ) . you may make less money than in shorting implied volatility , but you are hedged against a potential black swan . you\u2019re saying taleb being wrong does not make sense at that particular point , as you\u2019re target is different .\nfor nearly more than 50 years , going back to lewis fry richardson , it\u2019s been known that the cumulative distribution of wars by size follows a rough power law , the number of events larger than size s being proportional to 1 / s raised to an exponent \u03b1 . this is also an approximation , of course , because there is an absolute maximum possible size for a conflict \u2014 it can\u2019t be more than then entire population . hence , the power law form can only hold over a certain range . to take this into account , cirillo and taleb also rescale the data to take into account the finite size of the human population ."]}

blown tokens , jewelry or glass art and inscribed with a memorial message . cremation ashes can also be mixed into charcoal , paint and tattoo ink , or used in a more involved process to create objects such as fireworks or even diamonds . many memorial crafts such as these are created by artists all over the country , so take the time to explore what possibilities are available to you .\natiq rahimi ( b . 1962 , kabul ) moved to pakistan in 1984 and finally to france where he received political asylum ; he then studied at the sorbonne . in 1992 -

deaf grandson yassin in tow , must reach murad to tell him of the carnage . the old man is beset on all sides by sorrow , that of his grandson , who cannot understand , that of his son , who does not yet know , and his own , made even crueler by the message he must deliver .\nbrevity is the sister of talent ,\nwrote anton chekhov , thinking of his short stories , in 1889 . his comment applies equally , if uneasily , to the heterogeneous fictions caught between the novel and the short story . post -

6 the seventh seal is opened . there was profound silence in heaven for a space ; all was quiet in the church , for whenever the church on earth cries through oppression , that cry reaches up to heaven ; or it is a silence of expectation . trumpets were given to the angels , who were to sound them . the lord jesus is the high priest of the church , having a golden censer , and much incense , fulness of merit in his own glorious person . would that men studied to know the fulness that is in christ , and endeavoured to be acquainted with his excellency . would that they were truly persuaded that christ has such an office as that of intercessor , which he now performs with deep sympathy . no prayers , thus recommended , was ever denied hearing and acceptance . these prayers , thus accepted in heaven , produced great changes upon earth . the christian worship and religion , pure and heavenly in its origin and nature , when sent down to earth and conflicting with the passions and worldly projects of sinful men , produced remarkable tumults , here set forth in prophetical language , as our lord himself declared , lu 12 : 49 .\nthere is some variety among the mss . in the order of the words here used . some place \u201clightnings\u201d before \u201cvoices . \u201d these signs and sounds herald the approach of judgments . god has arisen in answer to the cry of his people . \u201cthe earth shook and trembled . there went up a smoke and a fire : coals were kindled at it . at the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed , hailstones and coals of fire . the lord also thundered in the heavens , and the highest gave his voice , hailstones and coals of fire . yea , he sent out his arrows , and scattered them : he shot out lightnings and discomfited them . . . he delivered me from my strong enemy\u201d (\nscattering by water \u2013 the remains are scattered onto a body of water from the shore , a dock or a boat . loved ones may place flowers , petals or floating candles into the water alongside the remains as a tribute . these will float on top of the water while the ashes sink below the surface .\nwritten by atiq rahimi , an afghan political exile in paris , and translated by erdag m goknar , earth and ashes was acclaimed in france as a baffling\nprodigy\n.\nnovel , short story , fable ?\nwondered one critic . at barely 60 pages , the question is apt . rahimi ' s book follows an old man , dastaguir , and his grandson , yassin , sole survivors of a russian bomb that devastated their village , as they carry the news to the mine where the boy ' s father works . their long wait at a dusty border post is narrated by dastaguir in a strained second person , both inviting the reader to share his experiences and insisting on his own detachment from them . the cumulative effect is one of shocked numbness : the old man speaks to himself as though to a stranger , issuing fragmented pleas , questions and instructions :\nput the box back . think of something else .\ncelestis memorial spaceflights make the dream of spaceflight a reality by launching a symbolic portion of cremated remains into near -

one pages long , more the length of an epic poem than a novel . it shares with poetry a simultaneous richness and discipline of language \u2013 one feels the economy of expression in every sentence , but there is a lushness , too , in the barren context of the narrative . the most lyrical writing is inside quotation marks , the author giving his characters a more poignant eloquence than he claims for himself , an eloquence that the translation seems to sustain . a shopkeeper says to dastaguir , \u201cyou know , father , sorrow can turn to water and spill from your eyes , or it can sharpen your tongue into a sword , or it can become a time bomb that , one day , will explode and destroy you . \u201d yassin has gone deaf from the sound of the bombs , but he attributes the quiet to the world rather than to himself , and he says , \u201cthe bomb was huge . it brought silence . the tanks took away people\u2019s voices and left . they even took grandfather\u2019s voice away . grandfather can\u2019t talk anymore , he can\u2019t scold me . \u201d\nthe caring and experienced professionals at solimine funeral homes are here to support you through this difficult time . we offer a range of personalized funeral , memorial and cremation services to suit your family\u2019s wishes and requirements .\nthe often spare and elliptical narration , and the very effective descriptions of the weariness and worry of the most simple actions and exchanges , work very well . this is a powerful , understated work -

- a destination dreaded and yet sought out by dastaguir . he reluctantly undertakes this journey to see his son , yassin ' s father , who works at the mine . he must tell him that their village has been bombed and their family killed . it ' s a difficult task for the old man who is torn between his own grief , unbearable solitude and the codes of honor so deeply engrained in the afghan soul . while struggling with so many conflicting emotions , dastaguir comes across various strangers on his way : a grumpy guard in his sentry house , a philosophical merchant , a mysterious veiled woman who endlessly waits , and other victims of this vile war that continues elsewhere , off screen .\nearth and ashes\nis a fable about devastating loss , redemption and the perseverance of the human spirit when confronted with the atrocities of war . more info : urltoken\nwhich being here more generally mentioned , are by and by more particularly expressed .\nthere is not another memorial service as compelling as a celestis memorial spaceflight . each launch is a tribute event , attended by friends and family from around the globe . the celebration includes launch site tours and interaction with astronauts and space experts .\nwe have integrated services from umbraco that may collect your email and contact information .\nwe have integrated services from zoho that may collect your email and contact information .\noscar winners morgan freeman and john legend added as presenters along with j . j . abrams , sacha baron cohen and henry cavill dave grohl will give a special performance\nkristen bell and michael b . jordan to host academy ' s sci -

[ note : in the original screenplay by alain robbe - grillet , there was an explicit forceful rape , but it was not fully pictured in the film . ] many critics have regarded the film as having a strong influence on stanley kubrick ' s the shining ( 1980 ) , david lynch ' s mulholland dr .

world war ii era . as critic ken kelman first noted , land without bread bears important stylistic similarities with nanook of the north ( 1978 : 125 ) .\nafter his ex - wife dies in a fall from her balcony , police sgt . henry smovinsky gets custody of his troubled teenage son . smovinsky soon finds out that his ex -

shot sequence ironically illustrates this claim . in the first image , at the moment the goat slips in the distance , a puff of smoke appears in the lower right - hand side of the frame . a reverse angle match - on - action shot then shows the animal falling from above . from one image to the next , the camera shifts from one side of the mountain to the other . to fabricate an illusion of continuity , the film crew shot the goat , hauled its carcass up the side of the mountain , and threw it off again . by leaving the traces of this process in the film , however , the director undermines the illusion and exposes the artifice of montage .\nwhen a prisoner transport plane crashes , one prisoner , mark sheridan , skillfully escapes and saves lives at the same time . deputy sam gerard and his team of u . s . marshals pursue relentlessly , but gerard begins to suspect that there is more to the exceptional fugitive than what he has been told . meanwhile , sheridan struggles to avoid capture while seeking answers of his own . until the final scene , both gerard and sheridan are in jeopardy of the unknown .\nthe film ' s message was that there were different archetypal roles to be played by the talents of various apartment tenants to assist story in getting home , but they needed to be matched up correctly during her departure ceremony . heep received assistance from film critic harry farber ( bob balaban ) , but was misled in the match - ups , and then story was mortally wounded by the scrunt . eventually , heep succeeded in identifying the four proper roles , to assist story in returning safely to her world :\nin the film ' s forward , intrigued local documentary film - maker and reporter david leigh ( david beard ) explained ( to the camera ) his motivation for studying a recent series of ritualistic homicides of tv show hosts and crew , allegedly committed by one of their team members , jim suerd . the convicted murderer suerd ( who had died in prison after sentencing -\nunder mysterious causes\n) was thought to be troubled and emotionally - disturbed .\na thousand feet beneath the sea , the blackest holes are in the mind . . .\nhowever , it was also criticized for its blatant similarities to the blair witch project ( 1999 ) , although it was actually made first . this inventive mock - documentary horror film took the approach of re - creating the events by a sleuthing documentarian , while blair witch favored the approach of watching unexplained recovered footage .\ngeis , cinematographer tom hurwitz , and executive producer robert aberlin have done a superb job . aside from the hero - worship , the only other criticism is why it took so long to put this film together . taylor created three dubious memories in 2010 ; it premiered in early 2011 . the work did not receive strong reviews , and is already , at least temporarily , out of the repertory . but it\u2019s the creation of the dance , not the dance itself or its critical reception , which is the film\u2019s subject , so the length of time it took is only a somewhat irrelevant observation . and as for that hero - worship \u2013 this is paul taylor . it goes with the territory .\njasmin m\u00fcnchgstettner , a german tourist from rosenheim , finds herself stranded in the middle of the california desert after quarrelling with her husband on their travels . she stops at the bagdad cafe , a truckstop run by the brawny and tenacious , c . c . h . pounder , a woman going through marital problems of her own . the unlikely pair gradually become friends as the film tracks their transformative journey through a colorful cast of cafe regulars . nominated for an oscar , percy adlon\u2019s english -

examine the rich history of ethnographic film , including not only forgotten works such as the smithsonian - funded by aeroplane to pygmyland , stirling new guinea expedition ( 1927 ) , but also the extensive research footage stored in archives . ethnographic filmmakers , like their literary counterparts , should return to the scenes of earlier works . we need , for example , a film on the making of robert gardner ' s dead birds ( 1963 ) which also explores the remarkable transformations in the highlands of western new guinea after decades of indonesian rule .\nas clyde pressed the send button on the phone to the bomb -

( the weight of convention remains so powerful that many viewers accept this ludicrous statement as fact . ) having seen an itinerary of how death visits the hurdanos - - whether by accident , starvation , or infection - - we begin to wonder how there is anyone left for the film to record . nevertheless , in flagrant contradiction , the narrator matter of factly informs us , after the death of a baby , that\na death is a rare event which can be recorded in this miserable village .\nthe rush of village women\nin crowds to the dead ' s house\nsimilarly contradicts the earlier , outrageous , neglect of the child lying in the\nlonely street .\n( 1995 : 84 - 5 ) . macdougall notes the documentary ' s\nprovocatively surrealist\nnature in a footnote to his essay on voice in ethnographic film ,\nwhose story is it ?\n( 1992 : 39 ) .

) love affair . the puzzling film never clearly ascertained whether x ' s claim of a relationship was true or false . what really happened\nlast year\n?\noh , and fun digression time , because the 20th century fox film was very r - rated , fox had to hold off the debut of the first teaser for star wars episode one : the phantom menace and instead timed it with paramount ' s the rugrats movie two weeks later . but theaters had no problem running it with walt disney ' s r - rated will smith thriller enemy of the state , which opened on the same weekend as rugrats . a similar situation occurred when universal pulled their mummy returns teaser from prints of the grinch out of fears that the pg - 13 movie ' s teaser would scare young moviegoers . fair enough , but i remember a number of pg - 13 trailers from other studios playing before that opening weekend showing of the grinch . now the grinch became the highest - grossing film of 2000 anyway , but i would imagine the siege could have used a boost on its opening weekend via star wars fans buying tickets to the siege and then sneaking into the waterboy after the trailer had played .\nthis film reminded me strongly of all of the student films i was forced to watch and participate in during college . the dialogue is inane , the acting more wooden than charlie mccarthy , and the cinematography and editing reminiscent of that done by young men in their twenties who want to be steven spielberg when they grow up . the editing often cuts too late or too quickly . the cinematography tries way too hard to be avante garde , and instead looks like something sam raimi would have done in the 1970s . dropping in on this film makes me feel like ed wood is still alive , or at least was in 1997 to make this picture . this is bad , people . . . very bad .\nin the film ' s conclusion , lydecker attempted to kill laura a second time with a shotgun ( hidden in the base of a grandfather clock ) in a murder / suicide , rather than leave her to the\nvulgar pawing of a second - rate detective\n- - but she was saved in the nick of time by mcpherson as lydecker was mortally wounded in an exchange of gunfire with the police .\nexplores some of the varied faces of lying and deception in our society from the inconsequential to the deeply harmful .\ninjured but surviving officer white ( sitting mute in the back seat ) departed with veronica lake - look - alike prostitute lynn bracken ( kim basinger ) , on her way home to arizona after quitting the high - class whore business . as lynn departed and kissed him , she told exley ( in the film ' s last line ) :\nmacdougall , david 1992 whose story is it ?

( back )\nby film ' s end , x ' s ambiguous allegations about what had happened were completely uncertain , although it appeared that the protagonist had gradually succeeded in readying a to leave the hotel one night for an unknown destination , as m watched them depart from a staircase . however , x ' s voice - over account was unreliable and described in the past tense :\none of the ways it undermines its characters is by upstaging them with the plot . we get several theories about the death of the prostitute , and lots of flashbacks in which wayland ' s tortured childhood offers explanations for actions he may or may not have taken . facts are established , only to be shot down . having seen the film twice , i am prepared to accept that its paradoxes are all answered and its puzzles solved , although unless you look closely and remember the face of an ambulance driver , you may miss the explanation for one of the big surprises .\nthis visually captivating and eerie masterpiece follows the journey of an extraterrestrial ( scarlett johansson ) who is obsessed with luring unsuspecting men into a dangerous and intriguing web . one of the most thought provoking films of 2014 , this sci - fi horror combines erotic energy with an unsettling and enigmatic plot . nominated for best international film at the 2015 independent spirit awards . 108 minutes .\ndan followed jack to the sf international airport terminal and into an off - limits airplane maintenance hangar for a deadly stand - off . the film ended with allayne , who had flown to sf , shooting jack to death as he was poised to kill her husband - and then in another shocking twist , she admitted her involvement with jack :\nand then in one of the film ' s most surprising moments set in a getaway airport hotel room , jack suddenly shot partner vickie in the stomach - his plan was to pin vickie ' s death on dan and have the diamonds all to himself ; but things went awry when a bloodied , still - alive vickie stumbled out into the hotel corridor where jack had to pursue and kill her , allowing dan to escape .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthe turning point in the film comes , i think , when the squadron happens upon a german machinegun nest protecting a radar installation . it would be possible to go around it and avoid a confrontation . indeed , that would be following orders . but they decide to attack the emplacement , and that is a form of protest : at risk to their lives , they are doing what they came to france to do , instead of what the top brass wants them to do .\nthe film could somewhat simplistically be described as good willing hunting ( which i also like quite a bit , save for its\nresponsibility is for losers !\nending ) in the navy with denzel washington in the proverbial robin williams role . and yes we do get a story about a troubled young man and the psychiatrist who heals himself while attempting to heal his patient , along with a token love interest who helps the young man come out of his shell . but antwone fisher doesn ' t have the gimmick of making its protagonist into a boy genius , and thus is by default a more realistic film . mr . fisher ( derek luke ) is simply the victim of an endless stream of societal failures , as parental abandonment leads to abuse in the foster care system and homelessness . already prone to violence and with a bad temper , fisher sees the navy as the last chance to make something of his life , but an altercation puts that in jeopardy .\nas story was about to be rescued by the giant eagle , the tartutic monkeys in the trees attacked the wolfish - scrunt and killed it , and she was safely taken .\nif there is one single living legend among american choreographers , it is paul taylor . his body of work over a sixty - plus year career needs no elaboration . like balanchine , graham , and cunningham , each of whom he danced for , and tharp , who danced for him , his name alone is sufficient to spark adulation , and to rekindle memories . his was the first modern dance performance that i loved as much as appreciated . the first time i saw his company , i flew out of the theater on an aureole - induced euphoric cloud , while wondering how that piece could have sprung from the same mind that gave us big bertha . and i suspect that everyone remembers their first esplanade .\nthe film flows seamlessly from rehearsal to interview to commentary to rehearsal , back and forth until the dance\u2019s premiere . gradually , without undue fanfare , the choreographic creation yields to the finished product . jennifer tipton\u2019s lighting design is made to look almost an afterthought , but its impact is apparent and requires no elaboration . while there are some unfortunate fade - outs as the premiere performance progresses , three dubious memories appears indeed rashomon - like as taylor originally described it . the three memories are not of the same event , but rather demonstrate how malleable memories , like taylor\u2019s creative process , can be .\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 execution of ames , clyde had replaced the potassium chloride in the execution drip canister with skin - boiling acid that made the criminal painfully bleed through his skin . authorities investigated the incident as ' cruel and unusual punishment . '\nmonahan and his co - writer , gordon davie , cleverly create a kafkaesque atmosphere in which questionable authority figures may be persecuting a perfectly innocent man . on the other hand , these cops may just be trying to do their job in the most difficult circumstances , attempting to extract a confession from a cunning and dangerous killer . davie , who also acted as technical adviser on the film , is a former police officer who worked for 16 years with the victorian crime squad .\n17 . in the same review , basil wright discusses joris ivens ' spanish earth ( 1937 ) , for which ernest hemingway wrote , and read , the voice - over commentary . having described the voice - over to land without bread as\nwearisome ,\nwright contends that hemingway provided spanish earth with\nthe best commentary in the history of the sound film\n( 1971 : 147 ) . from my perspective sixty years later , bu\u00f1uel and unik ' s multi - layered commentary in land without bread is far superior . predictably , the first word wright uses to describe spanish earth is\nsincere\n( 1971 : 146 ) . a detailed comparison of the two films would be instructive in understanding the range of documentary approaches in the 1930s .

qnoeh ( no exception handling ) on some platforms to get a bit of additional performance . these days the compilers do much better at not degrading performance when exception handling is allowed and not used , but since our performance folks will sell their kids for a 1 % improvement , we\u2019ve kept using flags like this and the associated restriction . components that must ( or want ) to use exception handling must \u201cfirewall\u201d any exceptions , not letting them get thrown to external code ( and also explicitly enable exceptions for their code ) .\nwe had a note in the coding standards not to use rtti ( run time type identification ) , because exceptions are required . that was a confusing and incomplete statement to include in our standards . it was interpreted by one developer as meaning that none of :\nwere allowed . however , only the dynamic _ cast is a rtti operation , and only the dynamic _ cast will throw an exception when the cast doesn\u2019t match the underlying type .\ni\u2019ve now fixed up our coding standards . it now references dynamic _ cast instead of rtti .\nthe db2 code is still very c\u2019ish , compiled with a c + + compiler . i\u2019d say the bulk of the casts in our code are old style c casts , and that most of our developers ( including myself ) don\u2019t even know when to use the \u201cnew\u201d cast operations . here\u2019s some thoughts on these :\ni\u2019ve seen a fair amount of const _ cast use in our code , and i know personally how this can be very useful . an example :\nvolatile int x ; void foo ( int * y ) ; foo ( const _ cast < short * > ( & x ) ) ; / / compilation error foo ( const _ cast < int * > ( & x ) ) ; / / allowed . just strips the volatile ( or const ) off the pointer type .\na second nice use of const _ cast < > ( ) is to enforce type checking in macros . if the macro parameter is supposed to be a pointer to type t , you can enforce that by using a const _ cast < t * > . this assumes that you don\u2019t actually care about the const - ness of the pointer , and will force a compile error if the macro is used with any other type .\nin general i don\u2019t think it\u2019s a bad idea to use the new cast operators , since they represent a hierarchy of weaker than c style casts . you can also search for cast operations by name in a given file if they are used , which is much harder to do with a c style cast .\ni\u2019m not sure how much use of static _ cast < > and reinterpret _ cast < > we have in the code .\ndeclaring my own stupidity , without looking them up , i didn\u2019t personally know how to use the \u201cnew style\u201d static _ cast and reinterpret _ cast operations correctly . i use a c cast by habit unless i\u2019m trying to strip const or volatile attributes ( or enforce a type in a macro ) .\nif db2 coders start using these , it will likely confuse old guys like me for a while , but i figure i can learn about these .\nif that doesn\u2019t work or is not allowed you can use : a c style cast .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n* setting channel preference will take you directly to the respective channel when you come in next time .\nsupported browsers : internet explorer : version 7 . 0 and above , chrome , firefox and safari . best viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution and above .\nthis browser doesn ' t support spotify web player . switch browsers or download spotify for your desktop .\nlisten to all your favourite artists on any device for free or try the premium trial .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nsubscribe to google play music and listen to this album and millions of other songs . first month free .\nthe film has been directed by azhagamperumal and has in the cast srikanth , meera jasmine , murali and vivek . vidya sagar brings edgy and upfront songs for the film .\nour website is made possible by displaying online advertisements to our visitors . please consider supporting us by disabling your ad blocker . close [ 5 ]"]}

cat ramon , who , after finding a job as a landscape artist , falls head over heels for his boss , anna ( solenn heussaff ) .\nwith its running time of 2 hours , da possessed felt too long and very dragging . there were numerous gags that when looked at closely , don\u2019t have any significance to the plot . they don\u2019t move the story forward . they don\u2019t provide any relevant information . they just haphazardly injected the punchlines here and there .\nwow . gi taks ending wasn ' t any good and kind of confusing . i like how da hye found out but didn ' t say anything .\na brief guide to the changes in adi da ' s name over the years , corresponding to the progressive changes in his spiritual work and his revelation .\nwelcome to our website ( now over ten years old ) , which celebrates the life , work , and ongoing transcendental spiritual transmission of the divine world -

on possession doesn\u2019t happen until well into the second hour of the film . and though the da possessed lands a good number of well - placed gags , these feel more credited to the cast\u2019s command of comedy , as well as director joyce bernal\u2019s knack for the bizarre .\njohn lapus on his part revealed to the media earlier that the shooting of the movie \u201cthe possessed\u201d had started last december 2013 , month before the mauling incident at the fort condo unit .\nbecause of his unique , extraordinary teaching , adi da ' s books are the first introduction to him for many people . this site provides an introduction to the books of adidam , including an overview ; recently published books ; free e -

year - old boy walked backwards up a wall and ceiling as startled medical staff looked on after his mother claimed he and his two siblings had been possessed by demons , according to official reports .\nplease make the special episode about hong nan and hae joon . i ship couple da hye \u2764 hae joon and hong nan \u2764 seungjae . i felt the sad ending they didn ' t reveal about love\nwhy are people confused who the leads are ? the story is about two guys who came back from the dead . rain and oh yeon seo ' s plays the possessed bodies . obviously , they are the leads .\ndespite the evident failings of the film\u2019s story , bernal manages to run a tight ship among her band of hardy comedians . beverly salviejo and joy viado are in particularly hilarious form as two warring old women , while smokey manoloto and matet de leon round up ramon\u2019s quirky family . but while da possessed tries to make fun of its seemingly contrived plot , it just isn\u2019t enough to throw a blanket on its cemetery -

year - old daughter also levitated in the home , and all three of her children showed signs of being possessed including ' evil ' smiles and unnaturally deep voices , according to the indianapolis star .\nshin da - hye ( lee min - jung ) is a beautiful housewife , but her husband suddenly dies . she falls into a love triangle with lee hae - joon and a promising store employee ( yoon park ) .\ntaylor was a married christian who was accused by his wife , christine , of having an affair with a prayer group leader . he responded with anger and continued to act erratically , leading some people to think he was possessed by evil .\nin the end , da possessed does what most navarro starrers do . it sufficiently entertains . the entertainment the movie delivers might not be as guiltless as , let ' s say , erik matti ' s gagamboy , or bernal ' s d ' anothers , or cathy garcia - molina ' s my only u , because of the circumstances surrounding its release , but there ' s more to it than suspicions of exploitation or discomforting underpinnings . it ' s all good .\nno , rain is not overacting here . it just happened that he needs to act like the deceased husband of shin da hye , who ' s got a unique personality , he ' s got to be different also , not the usual rain . remember that the body in him is shin da hye ' s husband , and look at the first few episodes , how shin da hye ' s husband act . maybe it was shown in the same time slot of dots which is very well accepted by viewers , just happened that you guys prefer the story of dots . by the way , i watched both this drama and dots . this is my only opinion . . thank you\ngreat story . . . . interelated plots & characters . rain & oh yeon seo did well & carried the right sense of humour when playing their roles . felt the warmth , pain , hurt as well as the anger with every episodes . lmj da hae is beautiful here but a lot more fun as da ran in big with gong yoo . rain to me is even better here than in full house . all in all . . . i like this drama . . .\nboth were shocked to see the boy apparently float after their mother had been subject to months of scepticism when she claimed her home in gary , indiana , was haunted and all three of her children were possessed by demons . listen to exclusive audio of the demon here\nof course , while da possessed is essentially navarro ' s show , the movie would not have been as convincing if it were not for his support . beverly salviejo , who has been relegated to mostly minor roles in previous films , is utterly delightful as navarro ' s mischievous mom . joy viado , who plays anna ' s strict aunt , proves to be the perfect match for salviejo ' s mix of physical comedy and wit . smokey manaloto , matet de leon , and joey marquez add further color to the bunch .\ndirector joyce bernal makes the most of her cast ' s various styles in comedy , and turns da possessed into a spectacle of sorts , with low - brow humor interspersing with slapstick and other types of jokes that are certain to tickle moviegoers . a lot of the jokes are effective , thanks largely to the cast . the movie only loses steam when it decides to abandon its atmosphere of reckless fun for some degree of logic and the off - putting and totally unnecessary moral lesson that seems to be a requisite for filipino comedies .\nda possessed wastes most of its screen time dragging its feet through its murky story , hinging on hit - or - miss punchlines and elaborate visual gags . despite the film\u2019s mile - a - minute puns , vhong navarro is given very little to do . as a character , ramon fails to bank on the usually sharp - tongued and outgoing navarro . the result is a vhong navarro that feels restrained , closed off , and uncharacteristically shy . but the real disappointment here is that there are remnants of a far better story buried underneath the film\u2019s under - baked crust .\nthe real shame here isn\u2019t that da possessed fails to live up to its potential , but that there\u2019s a wasted opportunity here for vhong navarro . whatever you might think of navarro\u2019s brand of comedy , he is arguably one of the more exciting and underutilized stars of star cinema . unlike the studio\u2019s other big name superstars , navarro\u2019s filmography is as unpredictable as his onscreen personas . from the smooth - operating mr . suave , the quirky superspy agent x44 , to a charming romantic in my only u , navarro\u2019s career has allowed him a level of diversity few other actors appreciate .\nlee hae - joon ( rain ) is a perfect man with good looking appearance . he works as a section chief in the women\u2019s apparel section at a department store . his body is actually possessed by the spirit of kim young - soo ( kim in - kwon ) who was worked to death .\n( spot . ph ) it would take a special kind of callousness to watch the entirety of joyce bernal ' s da possessed without even acknowledging the suspicious circumstances behind its being made . just a few of months prior to the movie ' release , its main star , dancer - turned - actor vhong navarro , was mauled inside a condominium unit . speculations were made by the public , who were incessantly bombarded with every bit of news about the sensationalized but most unfortunate event . navarro , with the help of his enterprising handlers , has turned into some sort of crusader , using the country ' s legal system for retribution .\ncan i get a respond before watching please please coz im confused : will da - hye fall in love with the spirit of her husband but in the body of lee hae joon or what ? if this is the story i ' ll not watch it . . i want the real lee hae joon to be with her\noh yeon seo is killing it here . . . her acting is superb ! ! ! i love hong nan , yi yeon and tae hwan story . as for rain a . k . a hae joon story , it just felt messy . why bother to make da hye fall in love to him when he only have 2 months to stay on earth . rain acting is really good when he is with hong nan . both of them really funny . but when it comes to da hye scene , i get really frustrayed seeing min jung acting . same face expression and no soul at all . after all , im curious to see the ending .\nda possessed , for all the inanity in display , echoes a lot of the themes of navarro ' s present predicament . beneath the jokes and gags , the movie predominantly tackles revenge against an individual who has eluded the law despite his propensity for violence . navarro , of course , plays his character with indisputable charm and affect , showcasing his trademark talents , whether it be his comedic timing or his dancing moves , to ensure that the actor does not get lost in the character . navarro , by donning ramon ' s clothes and quirks , becomes the unlikely hero who will pave the way for justice to triumph , despite such an immense desire for the more traditional type of vengeance .\nis adidam ' s unique version of the traditional guru purnima celebration . during this celebration , the great and divine guru - function of the divine avatar , adi da samraj , is honored .\npurnima\nmeans\nfull\n. guru purnima is traditionally celebrated during the brightest full moon of the year , usually occuring in july .\nafter watch 10 episodes of this drama i slowly get into the story line . however i have to say that i hope hope and hope that they do not mess up or this drama is going to flop xd . i really like oh yeon so ' s acting ( she is hella funny ) and i kinda ship her with everyone ( lee tae hwan especially , but also rain and even ha nui or yoon park xd ) i think i love her because she still act like han gi tak while rain sometimes kinda creep me out because he is so diffrent then young - soo . the fact is that he surely end up with da hye because i cannot imagine that he will let da hye go and built up a new life on her own ( even if i ship da hye with ji hoon ) . but i ' m kinda curious how hong nan will end up , because i ship her soo much with seungjae but i can never imagine that she will end up with him because she still is han gi tak inside xd\nto sum up i really felt in love with the new side of rains acting , however i cannot feel the chemistry of hae joon and da hye . however i really love this drama since there are some scences that are hilarious and intense and also i love nearly every character , that have a certain image . really refreshing and hopefully a good drama with a good ending\nwhen he was possessed , religious artifacts began flying off the walls and people could hear footsteps and dripping inside his home . scratches also began appearing over his body , which levitated and contorted . his family contacted a catholic priest and an exorcism was performed more than 30 times , sometimes injuring the priest before they were eventually successful . doe went on to have a normal life , according to reports .\nwow ! it ' s a promising drama ! the casts are great . . three of my favorite actors and actresses . . rain , oh yeon - seo , and lee min - jung . . and ! the plot is daebak ! i can ' t even imagine oh yeon - seo acting a tough guy ( since she ' s possessed ) . . i can ' t wait for this drama . . : )\nl actually hope that da - hye would give ji - hoon a chance rather than shove him away that hard , but unwillingly give chance to hae - joon . feel pity for ji - hoon . seung - jae and hong - nan ( gi - tak ) will not happen unless the real hong - nan appears . l hope real hong - nan appears and be a couple with seung - jae , while gi - tak reborn and coupled up with yi - yeon .\non july 10 , 2007 ( fiji time ) , avatar adi da ' s impulse to continue working in the manner of self - submission conclusively vanished , leaving only the sign of his divine self -\nemergence\nwork . only his divine self - revelation , and not any address to the ego in its presumed separateness , enables the process of transcendental spiritual awakening . this event is now celebrated as the great sovereign - avataric holy day of parama - sapta - na sannyas .\nthe charitable assessment here is that west is just trolling , which , with the best will in the world , is still hardly the most edifying sphere of human activity for an apparently time - pushed polymath to indulge in . if he is possessed of the kind of self - awareness occasionally suggested by tlop\u2019s lyrics ( \u201ci love you like kanye loves kanye\u201d he offers on a brief a cappella freestyle ) , he might take a minute out of his pressing schedule to consider that one thing setting him apart from the kind of geniuses he compares himself to is that picasso , galileo , steve jobs and leonardo da vinci seem to have had better things to do with their time than waste it going \u201cyeah , your mum lol\u201d . the uncharitable assessment is that he\u2019s a deluded pillock who actually believes what he\u2019s saying . listening to famous , you do find yourself wondering if anyone else has ever managed to seem so brilliant at what they do and such a thundering cock and balls of a man at exactly the same time .\n@ karin : like rain said , there is no lead characters here . everyone has their own portion and story , so you can ' t pick a or b as the lead . for me , as the story involved around young - soo and gi - tak , they are the leads ( the characters , not the actors ) . you could say that the female leads are da - hye and yi - yeon , as hong - nan is actually gi - tak in female form . then the 2nd male leads are ji - hoon and jae - kook .\nquotations from and / or photographs of avatar adi da samraj used by permission of the copyright owner : \u00a9 thisyear copyrighted materials used with the permission of the avataric samrajya of adidam pty ltd , as trustee for the avataric samrajya of adidam . all rights reserved . none of these materials may be disseminated or otherwise used for any non -

movie for you !\nyou don\u2019t have to tell me that director ron howard \u2019s sinfully entertaining screen adaptations of author dan brown\u2019s robert langdon pulpy novels are not exactly bait for critical adoration . it seems the first two , the da vinci code and angels & demons , were used as target practice by some of my colleagues , and i have no doubt the latest chapter , inferno \u2014 which sony pictures releases today \u2014 will also have its detractors . but as i say in my video review above , these movies are comfort food on the highest order and the latest is also perhaps the greatest in terms of viewer satisfaction .\nlove this drama ! ! ! i\u2018m not finished watching it ( ep . 10 ) , but so far so good . i\u2018m actually really surprised that i like this drama , because i\u2018m more into extremely cutesy / funny dramas and this drama is really heartbreaking , sad and funny ! i\u2018m gonna be honest here and i think i\u2018m the only one with this opinion , but i hate jung ji hoon sooooooo much ! it just aggrevates me that he swoops right into da hae\u2018s life , asking her to date him again right after her husband dies , whom she dearly loves ! any who . . . great drama ! i recommend !\nwhy seungjae has to fall in love with hong nan . . . it actually cute to watch him but we all know it impossible love . . . i can ' t watch him suffer . . . because he surely will get hurt at the end . . . where is the real yeon soo / hongnan ? is she died ? + current hae joon will disappear after 2 month . . . why he bother to make da hye fall in love with him ? he can ' t stay longer though . . . doesn ' t this will make her suffer again later ? really wonder how the ending will look like ! ! ! !\nkim young soo ( kim in kwon ) was a hard - working employee of a major department store who died in what looked like an apparent suicide after a tough day on the job . on the same day , han ki tak ( kim soo ro ) , a tough - guy chef who ran a cafe , died in a car accident . young soo and ki tak meet in the afterlife and are on a train bound for heaven when young soo decides he can\u2019t go just yet . he wants to make sure his young wife , shin da hye ( lee min jung ) , and daughter , han na ( lee re ) , are taken care of .\nthe chairman\u2019s first son , cha jae kook ( choi won young ) , is not happy to see hae joon back from the united states and is determined to chase him out of the company . young soo is shocked to discover that his widow , da hye , is now working at the department store as a sales clerk , while young manager jung ji hoon ( yoon park ) watches over her . ki tak comes back in the body of a beautiful young woman , hong nan ( oh yeon seo ) , and he has a heck of a time trying to navigate his new body as he tries to help his actress ex - girlfriend , song yi yeon ( honey lee ) , escape from the grasp of a dangerous gangster .\n@ person : couldn ' t agree more . this drama is a combination of perfect actors , perfect story line and perfect movie directing . i can ' t imagine if this drama handled by other director / actor , i bet it would be silly . at first i was hesitated to watch because the main actor , da hye and yi yeon love same person but in different bodies . but amazingly this drama convey the story pretty well . what i love more about this drama is , in ep . 13 , i wonder how can i cry a river when this drama is a comedy drama . 2 thumbs up for this drama ! ! to all people who haven ' t watch this drama , don ' t look at the rating , the rating doesn ' t suit the drama at all , trust me ! : )\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na cowardly man unwittingly unleashes three spirits seeking revenge against the family he works for . the spirits take turns taking over his body , causing all sorts of mischief along the way .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthe role of anna was originally for angel locsin , but then it was changed to ellen adarna . however , the role ended up going to heussaff , creating controversies .\nthough the dull script and confusing sequence and set -

was the baby on her knee ? where was the room of her own ? of course the perplexity falls apart because the novel is not jane\u2019s story but bront\u00eb\u2019s story\u2014and it is the texture of the space and time that charlotte spent writing jane eyre that propels kohler . and only that : becoming jane eyre is not , as some might hope , a literary biography with poetic license , awaiting its hollywood adaptation . it is a small daydream of a novel , a glorified collection of vignettes ; ethereal , distant , unruffled by the events it relates , utterly unlike its inspiration : if jane eyre disappeared overnight , becoming jane eyre would be close to incomprehensible .\neven so , becoming jane struck me as decidedly de trop in striving to make the austen character more faultlessly high - minded in her final decisions than any writer of genius should ever have to be , and probably wasn\u2019t . mr . mcavoy\u2019s lefroy is probably much closer to darcy in charm and panache than the real - life irish jurist could ever hope to be . becoming jane is not as good as the best austen films , but is much better than most mainstream movies on tap .\nan ersatz\npride and prejudice\nin all but name ,\nbecoming jane\nis a finely tooled brit - lit costumer that , like anne hathaway ' s flawless accent as the young austen , lacks only that final convincing 5 % .\nthe austen family loved word play , and the name \u201ctom jones\u201d repeated in a letter by a \u201cjane\u201d about a \u201ctom\u201d is not far from \u201cjane\u2019s tom . \u201d\ncan ' t get enough of jane austen ' s pride and prejudice movies . this brings a new depth of understanding for what motivated jane . great movie !\nrequest an interview with dr . jane goodall or a member of her team \u00bb\ni too am a hopeless romantic . i enjoyed the movie\nbecoming jane\nbut was more interested in wanting to know the real jane austen . i too want to believe that the love was real , but thank you lori smith for helping to keep our feet on the ground . fantasy must always give way to truth .\njane jacobs leading a planning meeting for west village houses in may 1963 . west village houses was the housing project she helped to develop after preventing an urban renewal plan for the neighborhood in 1961 ; the forty - two subsidized walk - up apartments opened in 1974 . bob gomel , 1963 . becoming jane jacobs , p . 298 .\non the note of jane being a family name , it is important to note that jane was also the name of tom ' s mother - in - law .\nwhile jane danced with tom lefroy , cassandra was with her fianc\u00e9 , tom fowle , and jane may have suspected that her sister would read her letters to him .\nallen f . davis , american heroine : the life and legend of jane addams ( 1973 ) ; daniel levine , jane addams and the liberal tradition ( 1973 ) .\n\u201c ' becoming jane austen ' is a good , traditional biography . clearly written , jargon - free and pleasant to read , it covers familiar ground without any sense of fatigue and makes the most of the material . ' ~ peter washington , the literary review\u201d \u2013\nand observes how contemporary documentary filmmaking \u2018has in various ways returned to its more relaxed roots with dramatisation , performance , and other forms of fictionalisation and narrativisation becoming once more predominant . \u2019\nwith one significant exception , which occurs close to the end of jane\u2019s life , miss austen regrets depicts the austen sisters\u2019 closeness as emotional rather than corporeal . in contrast to becoming jane , cassandra and jane are separated for most of miss austen regrets : while cassandra remains at chawton cottage , often glimpsed taking care of domestic chores , jane travels repeatedly to godmersham and also spends time in london . there , at their brother henry\u2019s house , we see jane chatting in bed with her niece fanny knight , who is portrayed by imogen poot as a starry - eyed , giddy young girl bent on love and marriage .\nthe house is somewhere between grand and modest . for the two films made here in 2006 , becoming jane and northanger abbey , it played the part of a vicarage . in the recent book , \u2018romantic irish homes\u2019 * , it falls into the section \u2018homes for gentry\u2019 .\nanne hathaway ( the devil wears prada , the princess diaries ) gives a radiant performance as a young , love - struck jane austen in the witty and engaging romantic comedy becoming jane from miramax films . it s the untold romance that inspired the novels of one of the world s most celebrated authors . when the dashing tom lefroy ( james mcavoy , the last king of scotland ) , a reckless and penniless lawyer - to - be , enters jane s life , he offends the emerging writer s sense and sensibility . soon their clashing egos set off sparks that ignite a passionate romance and fuel jane s dream of doing the unthinkable marrying for love . becoming jane , also starring the acclaimed maggie smith , james cromwell and julie walters , is an enchanting and imaginative film you ll fall head over heels for\nperhaps whoever it was had already tried and failed to reason with jane , or had left such a sensitive matter to the one person to whom they felt jane would attend .\nbecoming jane certainly is a fresh departure \u2013 jane austen kissing ! \u2013 but the filmmakers have been careful to base the love affair on the truth as far as they see it .

'\ni will examine two films and four novels , all of which were commercially released in 2007 and 2008 . ( two of the novels were republished in american editions from slightly earlier u . k . publication dates . ) thanks to the prominence of its star , anne hathaway , and the efforts of its studio , miramax , becoming jane ( 2007 ) reached the widest audience of any of these sources , though the film was not notably successful in commercial terms . directed by julian jarrold from a screenplay by sarah williams and kevin hood , becoming jane takes its inspiration from jon spence\u2019s inventive becoming jane austen ( 2003 ) . like spence\u2019s biography , becoming jane elaborates on the episode of austen\u2019s young womanhood in which she flirted with tom lefroy . cassandra , played by anna maxwell martin , serves as a decidedly plain contrast to her radiant , passionate sister . the last years of austen\u2019s life are the focus of miss austen regrets ( 2008 ) , a television film directed by jeremy lovering from a screenplay by gwyneth hughes , for which austen\u2019s letters are a primary , though uncredited , source . miss austen regrets tantalizes fans of austen film adaptations by featuring , as jane and cassandra , two actors who played roles in the two mid - 1990s versions of emma . to the delight of anyone who has pondered the similarities between jane fairfax and jane austen , olivia williams\u2014the jane fairfax of diarmuid lawrence\u2019s emma ( 1996 ) \u2014appears in miss austen regrets as jane austen , while greta scacchi\u2014mrs . weston in douglas mcgrath\u2019s emma ( 1996 ) \u2014appears as cassandra .\nbut becoming jane , was based on her life . her books , she wrote . someone else wrote becoming jane . of course the men in her books were great , but thats because she made them that way when writing them . there is not much to know about her history , because from what i have learned , her family destroyed many of her letters and she wasn ' t even really know as a writer , because her name wasn ' t on her books . so when jon spence wrote the book becoming jane , he obviously got as close to the truth as he could , with the limited information that any of us have . after i saw the movie , i looked into jane and tom ' s history , but there really isn ' t much that we know . but in real life sometimes the guy is wild , careless , and womanizing , even when you don ' t want them to be .\nthe latest wheeze , in the surprisingly graceful becoming jane , is to take good old p & p ' s storyline and replace elizabeth bennet with austen herself , add a real - life pseudo - darcy from the skimpiest of biographical evidence , and generally blow raspberries at austen fanatics .\nin parallel fashion , edward and tom drew kitty and jane out of childhood into womanhood .\nclarkson , cast as jane eyre at age 10 , says ,\nas a child , jane goes through a lot . she has no deviousness in her at all , but she gets through everything . i tried to let all the emotions that jane feels build up .\nin a video on digital spy , jane eyre director cary fukunaga talks about directing jane eyre . on of the more interesting section is how he connects his earlier film . . .\ntomalin , claire . jane austen : a life . new york : knopf , 1997 .\nto ask other readers questions about jane austen ' s first love , please sign up .\nhappy birthday , jane !

on a chapter in jon spence ' s 2003 critical biography , becoming jane austen . in the book , spence does identify tom lefroy as the love of austen ' s life and her relationship with him as the origin of her genius . but he never suggests that there was an aborted elopement ( much less subsequent reading sessions with any of lefroy ' s children ) . and he is careful , as the filmmakers are not , to

not including clueless , a modern spin - off from emma ) \u2013 the handicap has always been that austen wrote only six books , so source material is limited .\nthe authentic period features and elegance of the king\u2019s inns building has attracted many cinema and television productions over the years to include : \u201cbecoming jane\u201d with anne hathaway and maggie smith ; \u201cevelyn\u201d brought us pierce brosnan , aidan quinn and stephen rea ; and the \u201cordinary decent criminal\u201d brought us the incredible mr . kevin spacey and our very own colin farrell .\nhe is right . for all its modernity and innovative camerawork , becoming jane has an old - fashioned theme : first love . peel away the 18th - century props and the literature , and what you have is an un - adorned love affair , which works on the same principle that has fuelled stories from romeo and juliet to casablanca \u2013 a doomed romance . jane and lefroy ache to embrace , but know that they are destined not to be together .\nit is not clear why ray assumes tom had met mary paul at least two years before he met jane .\nwhatever reason tom had for not marrying jane\u2014his uncle\u2019s disapproval , his loyalty to and prior love of anglo ireland and an irish fianc\u00e9e\u2014he did not inform anne lefroy ( or , by extension , jane ) that he was engaged .\nfrom jane\u2019s description , we can also infer that anne lefroy was there , too , watching her daughter ride .\nthe veiled references to \u201ccatharine\u201d may also have been a way for jane to invoke kitty\u2019s difficulty in reading edward .\nwe can never know for sure what happened between jane and tom that winter or in the years that followed .\nof course even without his death she would have inherited much more than jane austen could ever have hoped for .\nalison owen states ,\ni would not have made jane eyre unless we had the right person to play jane . this is not a role that you can

, untold romance that inspired a young jane austen , played by anne hathaway . willful and spirited , jane is not ready to be tied down to anything but her writing . that is until she meets tom lefroy ( james mcavoy ) , a charming rogue from london who spends more time drinking and socializing than on his law studies . the film also stars julie walters , james cromwell and maggie smith . it is written by sarah williams and kevin hood , and directed by julian jarrold .\nan ersatz \u201cpride and prejudice\u201d in all but name , \u201cbecoming jane\u201d is a finely tooled brit - lit costumer that , like anne hathaway\u2019s flawless accent as the young austen , lacks only that final convincing 5 % . taking the few facts known about a \u201cromantic encounter\u201d between the

would appreciate the irony that it is cassandra , who , by keeping the facts from us , has given us what jane herself so cherished\u2014the power of imagination\u201d ( 230 ) . how we imagine jane and cassandra austen reveals how we imagine ourselves , as austen readers and austen fans .\nto explain why , i\u2019d like to share with you some of my discoveries about her life and work , and some of my intentions in writing becoming jane jacobs \u2014 discoveries and intentions that i believe offer some new understanding of not just her life and work , but her experiences and ideas , and , perhaps most importantly , the development of those ideas .\n' becoming jane ' gets an uncompressed pcm 5 . 1 surround track ( 48khz / 24 - bit ) , and if the film ' s sound design is laid - back , it

two actual asteroids , thrawn also stages 265 false launches . as the cloaked asteroids are undetectable to coruscant ' s sensors , it is impossible for the new republic to distinguish an actual asteroid launch from a false one . he lets the new republic forces to disable one of the asteroids cloaking devices so they can see what ' s out there and then orders it destroyed . this way the grand admiral forces the coruscanti to use the planetary shields permanently , meaning nothing can get in or out . this would ultimately have thrawn win by starving his enemies into submission .\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 .\naccording to the accompanying article john wayne and cecil b . demille were at personal odds and never got around to working together . not so . wayne did . . .\nhistorically inaccurate as far as some of the details , but this film captures the emotions and atmosphere of the events of\nbloody kansas\nand . . .\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\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nin kansas , during the civil war opposing pro -

free . when he gets the opportunity to run for marshal , seton finds himself running against the respected local schoolteacher , william cantrell . not is what it seems however . while acting as the upstanding citizen in public , cantrell is dangerously ambitious and is prepared to do anything to make his mark , and his fortune , on the territory . when he loses the race for marshal , he forms a group of raiders who run guns into the territory and rob and terrorize settlers throughout the territory . eventually donning confederate uniforms , it is left to seton and the good citizens of lawrence to face cantrell and his raiders in one final clash .\n. like cantrell , quantrill was born in ohio , taught school in lawrence , ks , became a guerrilla fighter on the confederate side and burned lawrence to the ground . however , the confederacy eventually distanced itself from him and later revoked his commission and disowned him , because of his band ' s propensity for executing prisoners , massacring civilians , looting and raping . the real quantrill died not at the hands of\nbob seton\nbut during an ambush by a union cavalry unit . unable to escape on account of a skittish horse , he was shot in the back and paralyzed from the chest down . he was brought by wagon to louisville , ky , and taken to the military prison hospital , located on the north side of broadway at 10th street . he died from his wounds on june 6 , 1865 , at the age of 27 .\n. this revolver was not produced until the 1870s . the film is set in the late 1850s and 1860s . the colt is the 1873 model so it could not have been in the civil war .\n: well , you could try . it ' s better for a young fella like you to be working for uncle sam than against him .\n: listen , you don ' t read or write a man into jail .\nopening credits prologue : in those years , 1859 and on , in the dusk before the nation plunged into the red night of civil warfare , the plains of kansas were an earlier battleground . down from the north , down to kansas : up from the south , up to kansas , came hordes -

civil war adventure is better than the norm due to raoul walsh ' s direction and good cast .\nrepublic ' s costliest film ; it was also its biggest box office hit .\nnot bad revisionist take on quantrill ' s raiders repurposed into a john wayne vehicle . the film , the followup to stagecoach , was the picture that actually confirmed the duke ' s marketability since it ended up being a huge hit . roy rogers , free of trigger for a change , does a good job as claire ' s brother .\nthis site makes extensive use of javascript . please enable javascript in your browser .\nin the current beta , the taunt is still on death grip , and this ability is trainable as well .\nedit : and it ' s a good thing this skill exists , too . due to the nature of the dk rune rotation , you ' re probably going to need two different taunts depending on how much damage you ' re doing .\ndeath grip is like mocking blow , it does force the target to attack you for 3s , but it never transfers any real threat . after 3s the target just continues where it left of .\nwork like a taunt , but it ' s wording implies it once didn ' t . when they changed it to act as a\ntrue\ntaunt , they probably never remembered to change the wording .\ncoming to think of it , this ' d make perfect minor cc in pvp , causing enemy to lose control for 3 seconds . shame blizz won ' t allow it .\ni think all taunts ( from warriors and druids and whatnot as well ) should at least make an opponent retarget in pvp , and make them manually have to reselect their target . might save your healer in a case where you could at least just interrupt their flow for a sec . similar to the way hunters use feign death in pvp and whatnot .\njust did my first dk tanking attempt then as a level 61 , and not having a taunt made things interesting occasionally . it ' s a ability you come to rely on as a tank ! ( i have at druid i tank with at 80 ) .\nat least you ' re massively op compared to most other classes at this level , so you can just tank everthing with frost presence , and d & d / pestilence / blood boil .\n60 frost dps dk - just went into frost presence and dpsed him . death strike healing was enough , i used gift of the naaru too but that healed me as much as a potion probably .\nchanging targets does not interrupt or retarget a spell in progress . i do it all the time on my warlock while dishing out afflictions to a group of mobs .\nyou need 17 % spell hit for all taunts . with the glyph , that means you need 9 % spell hit or 237 rating ( note that this is less than the melee hit cap , since you need more hit rating for 1 % melee hit than 1 % spell hit ) .\nseems unfortunate that this is only available at 65 while the other tank classes get a taunt - type skill before they can enter instances .\n* looks through his spell book *\nnope . its not there .\nhalf these tanks are over level 65 too . . . i think all dks might be stupid : d ( just kidding\nif you ' re new to tanking as a death knight , learn to love this spell . it ' s on a\nand the taunt gives you 100 % threat that you can build on . death grip may bring the target to you , but it just forces the target to attack for 3 seconds ; you have to start building your threat on the target from wherever it was , even if that ' s 0 % .\nto take full advantage of this , it helps to get an add - on to help taunt the right target without clicking off your main tanking target . you could set up a macro , but i ' ve found that to be less than reliable .\nis a good choice , since you can set up a simple key + click combo to cast your taunt . . . but it still means you need to be able to see the target mob to click it . doesn ' t help if the mob gets behind you or off to the side .\ncan proc fallen crusader . so if in pvp / soloing , spam it if nothing else to do .\n. wiped a fair number of times as a blood tank because of this .\nwhatever it procs , don ' t ever use this in a level appropriate dungeon / heroic / raid . the diminishing return can cause trouble . people wont care much for a blood worm or fallen crusader proc , if it means they have to die .\nand if you are acting as a dps , don ' t even think about it . . .\nproccing blood worms and crusader could very well save you when getting kited by a frostmage .\nwith the change to taunt mechanics in 5 . 4 , please note that you can use\nin your rotation to increase threat generation by 200 % for 3 seconds , even if you are currently tanking the boss or mob .

ditch attack against the empire , leia keeps the alliance together and prepares for the birth of her jedi twins . but the empire has too many ships and too many clones to combat . the republic ' s only hope lies in sending a small force , led by luke , into the very stronghold that houses thrawn ' s terrible cloning machines .\nmeanwhile , luke is trying to find thrawn ' s cloning facilities . on berchest , he meets with talon karrde . skywalker convinces the information broker to sell information regarding the movements of the imperial forces to the new republic .\nat the same time on coruscant , mara jade is recovering from the injuries sustained during the battle for the katana fleet . during her stay at the imperial palace , winter \u2013princess leia ' s aide \u2013 was serving as her hostess . in a brief conversation , jade identifies winter as the targeter\u2013a code name she had used only briefly . this prompts winter to check jade ' s background suspecting she is an imperial agent .\nat the same time , luke had tracked the clones to the inner rim planet poderis . the imperial forces on the planet tried to capture him using ysalamiri but the young jedi detects blank spots created by the creatures and leaps on a roof . using a piece of cloth to fashion a protective wrapping for his hand , luke cuts a groove with his lightsaber on the outside of the shield - barrier connected to the roof he was on and sticks his hand in it . holding the lightsaber in front of him , skywalker begins his descent by digging out a slanted path for his hand to follow in . after going about 100 meters across the wall , he cuts a hole in the shield - barrier and goes back into the city . reaching the spaceport , luke gets off poderis and after a little skirmish with the chimaera he jumps to hyperspace . when his x - wing ' s power cells run out of charge , skywalker decides to replace them on honoghr , the noghri homeworld . when he reaches the planet , the noghri guide him to a place they call the future of the noghri . there he meets khabarakh . while waiting for the power cells to be delivered , nystao he experiences a vision of leia and the twins being in danger . while luke is on honoghr , during a meeting of the provisional council leia goes in labor . after 10 hours delivery , with han by her side , she gives birth to jaina and jacen solo .\nin the meanwhile , after an accidental meeting with his fellow smuggler gillespee , karrde sets a meeting of the top smugglers on trogan . the meeting in whistler ' s whirlpool tapcafe , which was attended by brasck , billey , par ' tah , ellor , dravis , mazzic , lishma , gillespee , niles ferrier and others . the reason why karrde called them was forming an alliance to find where the clones were being bred . at first , the smugglers want to stay neutral in the war but when the meeting was attacked by the imperials , resulting in lishma ' s death , they decide that the empire needs to learn a lesson thus the smugglers ' alliance is born . the attack on the meeting was actually arranged by ferrier . he was trying to win karrde ' s trust so he can betray him to the grand admiral . thrawn , however , wasn ' t pleased since he didn ' t want to the smugglers turned against the empire .\nat the same time , karrde on board the wild karrde is present during an attack on the bilbringi shipyards by mazzic and ellor . the attack results in the destruction of an almost finished star destroyer . the attack itself was the two smugglers ' revenge for their friend ' s death . just before the beginning of the raid , karrde counts twenty - two asteroids which the grand admiral would later use to attack coruscant . unfortunately for the smugglers , the grand admiral is present during the attack and recognizes mazzic and ellor ' s styles . while discussing his plans concerning the smugglers , thrawn is interrupted by the enraged master c ' boath who had found out that the last kidnapping attempt had failed . he demands to fly to coruscant to take his jedi . thrawn agrees to take him to the galactic capital after the special cargo is loaded onboard . c ' boath thinking that thrawn intends to destroy coruscant with organa solo and the twins still on the planet took control of the crew of the chimaera . thrawn manages to calm the insane jedi down and , with the asteroids onboard , takes off to coruscant .\nback on coruscant , leia ' s chosen bodyguards arrive dressed like jawas who turn out to be ten noghri among which was khabarakh . the same night luke and lando broke mara out of her quarters . they board the millennium falcon and leave for obroa -

reeled first print of \u2018sita bibah\u2019 was already completed on 25th march and was shown in the touring cinema in calcutta on 29th march . however , the film , made with a meager budget of rupees 29 , 781 and 10 annas , was formally released in orissa at laxmitalkie cinema in puri on 28th april .\ntoday when we look back over the 75 years of film making , things may seem indistinct , yet it gives a clear impression of unique odiya identity .\nbroadly , the odiya film making years can be divided into three equal phases of 25 years each - the first phase was of struggle and growth , the second was the golden age and the third a time of prolific productions , once in a while compromising the qualitative standards and aesthetics .\nthe second odiya film , \u2018lalita\u2019 , was made in 1949 and till the beginning of the sixties only a dozen films were made . if we take a quantitative view of film productions in a single year , the number of films produced was increased from single digit in the earlier years to double digits in the last phase .\nduring the eighties , the artistic and aesthetic excellence of odiya cinema catapulted itself to national and international arena . in 1984 nirad mohapatra\u2019s \u2018maya miriga\u2019 was considered to be the best film to get national award , and also qualified to be an official entry in various international film festivals . however , it took one more decade to bask in national recognition . in 1994 , susant misra\u2019s \u2018indradhanura chhai\u2019 received the jury\u2019s special mention at the national level , and made it to the competitive section of \u2018un - certain regard\u2019 of cannes film festival followed by its winning of the \u2018grand prix\u2019 at sochi international film festival , russia .\nagain after a long gap of a decade and half , prashanta nanda\u2019s \u2018jianta bhuta\u2019 won the national award in the environment section last year in 2009 . thus summing up the position of odiya film at national and international levels . however , odiya films have been invariably bagging national awards in the best regional category almost every year . here , directors like manmohan mohapatra , sagir ahmed , a . k . bir , shantanu mishra , pranab das , himanshu khatua and subas das stand out .\ngetting entry into indian panorama is a touch stone for making the presence felt in the national arena . manmohan mohapatra\u2019s \u2018sitarati\u2019 has made it for the first time to the indian panorama in 1983 and in the current year , sudhanshu sahu\u2019s \u2018swaymsidha : a girl on the red corridor\u2019 has made it to there as the twelfth entry . other directors those who have made it to the exalted pantheon were nirad mohapatra , sagir ahmed , biplab roy choudhury , susant misra , bijay ketan mishra and prafulla mohanty .\nwhen there was a lean period in film viewing during the mid - seventies prashanta nanda\u2019s \u2018sesha shrabana\u2019 ( 1976 ) and sadhu meher\u2019s \u2018abhiman\u2019 ( 1977 ) brought people back to the cinema halls . however , if we consider the singular contribution of any director to the body of odiya films , the foremost name that comes to mind is of prashanta nanda , followed by nitai palit . but if we combine quantity with qualitative and aesthetic aspects , manmohan mohapatra towers above the rest .\ninspired by western music , shantanu mohapatra introduced a modern trend in \u2018suryamukhi\u2019 ( 1963 ) . while akshaya mohanty switched to music direction in \u2018malajanha\u2019 in 1965 , prafulla kar became a debutant music director in \u2018mamata\u2019 ( 1975 ) . while balakrishna das was experimenting with odiya folklore singing and \u2018boli\u2019 ( innocuous slangs ) , bhubaneswar mishra , shantanu mohapatra and akshaya mohanty combined western notes to enhance the odiya traditional tone . it ushered in the modern singing tradition of odiya film songs .\nprafulla sengupta\u2019s \u2018arundhati\u2019 in 1967 was a milestone in odiya film song tradition as mohammadd rafi and lata mangeshkar rendered solo songs by humming immortal lines like \u201cmayurigo tuma aakashe mu dine mallhare megha saajili\u201d ( \u201ci was once music in clouds , you danced gleefully with\u2026\u201d ) and \u201caaji mu shrabani , luhara harini\u201d ( \u201ctoday i\u2019m like the rainy seasons , like the deer who cries\u2026\u201d ) of lyricist jibanananda pani under music direction by shantanu mohapatra .\nthe future of odiya film song and music seems to be bright in the hands of music directors like malay mishra and bikash das , who have proved their ability in musical hits like \u2018neijaare megha mate\u2019 and \u2018aji akashe ki ranga lagila\u2019 respectively .\nwhile in the initial phase the thematic story lines were invariably based on mythology , they gradually turned to socially relevant themes starting from \u2018amari gaan jhua\u2019 ( 1953 ) and \u2018bhai bhai\u2019 ( 1956 ) onwards . during the sixties \u2018manikajodi\u2019 , \u2018amada bata\u2019 , \u2018abhinetri\u2019 , \u2018malajanha\u2019 , \u2018matira manisha\u2019 and \u2018adina megha\u2019 were based on highly appreciated literary works . both in the sixties and the seventies , women became the central characters in odiya cinema depicting their agony , happiness , emotions and inner - beings leading to tear - jerkers raking in box office mullahs .\nwith this enriched history of odiya films spanning over the last 75 years , which has undergone considerable thematic and stylistic transformations with its versatile master - minds , it seems like orissa has grown as a major film - making center in the country .

16 since we are sure to rise again at the last , why should not the believing hope of that resurrection to eternal life , make it as easy for us to put off the body and die , as it is to put off our clothes and go to sleep ? a true christian , when he dies , does but sleep ; he rests from the labours of the past day . nay , herein death is better than sleep , that sleep is only a short rest , but death is the end of earthly cares and toils . the disciples thought that it was now needless for christ to go to lazarus , and expose himself and them . thus we often hope that the good work we are called to do , will be done by some other hand , if there be peril in the doing of it . but when christ raised lazarus from the dead , many were brought to believe on him ; and there was much done to make perfect the faith of those that believed . let us go to him ; death cannot separate from the love of christ , nor put us out of the reach of his call . like thomas , in difficult times christians should encourage one another . the dying of the lord jesus should make us willing to die whenever god calls us .\n11 : 10 - 26 here is a genealogy , or list of names , ending in abram , the friend of god , and thus leading towards christ , the promised seed , who was the son of abram . nothing is left upon record but their names and ages ; the holy ghost seeming to hasten through them to the history of abram . how little do we know of those that are gone before us in this world , even of those that lived in the same places where we live , as we likewise know little of those who now live in distant places ! we have enough to do to mind our own work . when the earth began to be peopled , men ' s lives began to shorten ; this was the wise disposal of providence .\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 -

critical . king really and truly believed that he was there to be of service to others . this was not a man with any egomaniacal joy of being a famous person , or being a leader ,\nsaid pulitzer prize - winning scholar david garrow in a recent interview with cnn .\nhoping to prove the rev . martin luther king jr . was under the influence of communists , the fbi kept the civil rights leader under constant surveillance .\nbut they did reveal embarrassing details about king ' s sex life - - details the fbi was able to use against him .\nthe almost fanatical zeal with which the fbi pursued king is disclosed in tens of thousands of fbi memos from the 1960s .\nthe fbi paper trail spells out in detail the government agency ' s concerted efforts to derail king ' s efforts on behalf of the civil rights movement .\nthe fbi ' s interest in king intensified after the march on washington in august 1963 , when king delivered his\ni have a dream speech ,\nwhich many historians consider the most important speech of the 20th century . after the speech , an fbi memo called king the\nmost dangerous and effective negro leader in the country .\nthe bureau convened a meeting of department heads to\nexplore how best to carry on our investigation [ of king ] to produce the desired results without embarrassment to the bureau ,\nwhich included\na complete analysis of the avenues of approach aimed at neutralizing king as an effective negro leader .\nthe fbi began secretly tracking king ' s flights and watching his associates . in july 1963 , a month before the march on washington , fbi director j . edgar hoover filed a request with attorney general robert kennedy to tap king ' s and his associates ' phones and to bug their homes and offices .\nin september , kennedy consented to the technical surveillance . kennedy gave the fbi permission to break into king ' s office and home to install the bugs , as long as agents recognized the\ndelicacy of this particular matter\nand didn ' t get caught installing them . kennedy added a proviso - - he wanted to be personally informed of any pertinent information .\nwhile king did have associates who had been members of the communist party , by all accounts they severed those ties when they started working in the civil rights movement . what ' s more , the fbi bugs never picked up evidence that king himself was a communist , or was interested in toeing the party line .\nbut the long list of bugs in his hotel rooms picked up just enough about king ' s love life .\na decision in a 1977 court case brought by bernard lee , one of king ' s associates , sealed the transcripts from those wiretaps until 2027 . but king ' s associates confirm there were at least two cases in which fbi surveillance caught king in compromising circumstances .\nthe first incident involved king at a party at the willard hotel in washington . the fbi recorded the party and captured the sounds of a sexual encounter in the room afterwards . the second incident occurred during king ' s stay in a hotel in los angeles , california . there , agents heard another drunken gathering in which king told an off - color joke about the recently assassinated president john f . kennedy . hoover sent transcripts and excerpts of those recordings to the white house and to the attorney general .\nhoover ' s contempt for king ' s private behavior is clear in the memos he kept in his personal files . his scrawl across the bottom of positive news stories about king ' s success dripped with loathing .\non a story about king receiving the st . francis peace medal from the catholic church , he wrote\nthis is disgusting .\non the story\nking , pope to talk on race ,\nhe scribbled\nastounding .\non a story about king ' s meeting with the pope ,\ni am amazed that the pope gave an audience to such a degenerate .\non a story about king being the heavy favorite to win the nobel prize , he wrote\nking could well qualify for the ' top alley cat ' prize !\nwhen king learned he would be the recipient of the nobel peace prize in 1964 , the fbi decided to take its harassment of king one step further , sending him an insulting and threatening note anonymously . a draft was found in the fbi files years later . in it the fbi wrote ,\nyou are a colossal fraud and an evil , vicious one at that .\nthe letter went on to say ,\nthe american public . . . will know you for what you are - - an evil , abnormal beast ,\nand\nsatan could not do more .\nthe letter ' s threat was ominous , if not specific :\nking you are done .\nsome have theorized the intent of the letter was to drive king to commit suicide in order to avoid personal embarrassment .\nking , there is only one thing left for you to do ,\nthe letter concluded .\nyou know what it is . . . you better take it before your filthy , abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation .\nwith the exception of the wiretap transcripts that remain sealed under court order , many of the other memos were made public as part of high - profile congressional investigations into the fbi ' s harassment of king . a summary was put together during the course of these investigations . other memos were released through a freedom of information act request from the center for national security studies in 1978 . another large batch was released through a 1979 foia request from david garrow .\nwhile the memos depict a cold and calculating attempt by the government to personally embarrass king , the memos also create an ironic byproduct , according to garrow .\nwhen you have a wiretap on someone you pick up all sorts of dreck . but in terms of the political history that ironically the fbi has created for us , it ' s a wonderful resource ,\ngarrow said .\n\u00a9 2018 cable news network . turner broadcasting system , inc . all rights reserved . cnn sans \u2122 & \u00a9 2016 cable news network .\nour collection contains a wealth of material to help you research and find your connection with the wartime experiences of the brave men and women who served in australia\u2019s military forces .\nthe australian war memorial was voted the number one landmark in australia by travelers in the 2016 trip advisor awards . come and see why .\nthe australian war memorial combines a shrine , a world -

free from rieux . everyone in oran must face the prospect of catching the plague ; everyone is\nunder suspicion\nof contagion . denial , flight , indifference are all forms of\nwasting time ,\nof surrender to the plague . it is ironic that the hotel manager and tarrou should criticize othon for his indifference and inaction . they are indifferent to him , his wife , and his family . it is not solely othon ' s responsibility to fight the plague for his wife ' s sake , but everyone ' s . most people in oran expect someone else to take responsibility for defending their lives , so they waste time complaining about the lack of effort on the part of the city government , the medical authorities , and their fellow citizens .\nsparknotes is brought to you by b & n . visit b & n to buy and rent textbooks , and check out our award -

gatherers , diamond emphasizes that this is due to the denser human populations that food production can support . also , farming is not merely a pastoral existence : farmers may own better weapons and technology , live under centralized governments , and breathe out more unpleasant germs . it is this final point that diamond discusses in this chapter .\ndiamond observes that , as a society , humans have shown a fondness for both livestock and domestic pets . pets can transmit infectious diseases that are not usually serious , but there are some exceptions\u2014diseases such as smallpox , flu , measles , and tuberculosis developed from animals , though are now largely confined to humans . in fact , more people died of disease microbes than battle wounds prior to world war ii .\nfollowing columbus\u2019s first voyage to the new world , spanish conquistadors likewise made their way to the americas and brought with them microbes that decimated native american . but why did the native americans not also pass on diseases that would travel back to europe with the spanish invaders ?\ndiamond explains that microbes evolve in the same manner as other species , in that evolution selects for those individuals most effective at producing offspring and helping them spread to suitable places in which to live . the easiest way for a germ to be spread is to be transmitted passively to the next victim ; for instance , we contract salmonella bacteria by eating infected eggs or meat . other germs are more active , however , and can modify a host\u2019s anatomy or habits to facilitate transmission . an obvious example of this is inducing a person to cough or sneeze , while rabies drives a dog into a biting frenzy ."]}

era mugging that he was doing in the last scene is starting to make sense : the producers of nude on the moon could only afford sound on the one indoor set of the movie , the lab . everywhere else , footage was shot without sound and then dubbed later . in later films , wishman would be even more bold about this sort of thing : the camera often focused on feet while the actors were reciting lines , so that the dubbing didn\u2019t even have to match moving lips .\ndr . jeff huntley ( william mayer ) . brilliant scientist and co -

some of it ugly . she worked in the roughie genre , movies where women were routinely beaten and sexually assaulted . while hideout in the sun and nude on the moon are brightly colored , wishman\u2019s roughies , like the classic bad girls go to hell ( 1965 ) are in stark black and white , reflecting the grimier nature of the films .\nin 1986 , prince played christopher tracy in under the cherry moon . the film flopped but the album , parade , is one of his classics\nas cheap and silly and technically clunky much of nude on the moon is , there\u2019s something hypnotic about it . wishman has a personality , and it comes through in the film . more than that , nude on the moon is one of those low ( low low ) budget movies where the bargain basement production works in its favor , giving the entire film a charm . wishman was a self - taught filmmaker , and it shows in her work , especially in the odd cutaways she uses - sometimes to hide an edit and sometimes , it seems , just for the hell of it . for me it\u2019s the definitive nudie cutie ( although some would give that title to the immoral mr . teas , the movie that launched russ meyer\u2019s career ) , and wishman , with eight under belt , the definitive nudie cutie filmmaker .\nnude on the moon was made in 1961 , which is eight years before the moon landing . so keep that in mind when this film isn\u2019t completely and scientifically accurate . nude on the moon follows the two employees of the us space program . yes , there are only two of them . why would we ever need more than that ? you only need two people to build , operate , and command a space program . everyone knows this . so these two dudes are like \u201cyeah ! let\u2019s go to space ! \u201d and their secretary is very supportive about this . they even make reference to this in the beginning of the film and say that \u201cman , our secretary really puts everything out there and makes sure that we get out job done ! \u201d eat your heart out hidden figures because we have a much better film about women in the space program here ! we then don\u2019t see this secretary figure for the rest of the film pretty much .\nwe are an independent news opinion site which aims to deliver a unique perspective on international , economic & social issues with a focus on the indian ocean region & an acute focus on sri lanka ; our centre of operations .\nprofessor :\nah , i ' ve never seen a specimen like this before .\njeff :\nlet ' s see .\nprofessor :\ni ' ll add this to the collection .\n( nude moon women are all around them and they are looking at a rock . )\nthe moon women -

she looks suspiciously familiar . . . . . . oh , it ' s cathy without her mole or clothes .\nnude on the moon is one of the best examples of the sexploitation subgenre \u2018nudie cuties . \u2019 it\u2019s a film that is essentially prurient - the whole purpose of the thing is to parade naked women around - but it has a feeling of warm harmlessness . nudie cuties are silly , and their largely topless women feel incredibly old - fashioned in the modern era . wishman\u2019s nudie cities in particular have a real innocently mischievous quality that make them feel slightly less than naughty . in one scene an intrepid astronaut ( wearing a spacesuit that looks like longjohns ) gives the queen of the moon a candy bar ; she makes a disgusted face when she eats the candy but finds the wrapper much more to her taste .\nshadow gets the key to his motel room from the front desk and heads to his room . he opens the door and discovers laura sitting on the edge of the bed .\nnude on the moon was produced , co - written , and co - directed by doris wishman , who was responsible for quite a few movies in a similar vein . much like ed wood , doris\u2019 films seemed to slide steadily from relatively harmless to more questionable fare : her last credited work on the imdb is dildo heaven , for cripe\u2019s sake ! the other doris wishman movie i\u2019ve seen is double agent 73 , starring the horrifically endowed chesty morgan . guess what the 73 refers to ? i don\u2019t recommend watching double agent 73 , especially if you value your retinas . ick !\nso the film really doesn\u2019t fit the nudist film label . primarily because naturalist are not aliens , do not live on the moon , and don\u2019t operate under a monarchy . but whatever . it\u2019s a love story and dr . handsome is cute so it\u2019s okay .\ni just saw\nnude on the moon\nfor the first and probably last time . what a scream . your review was right on target , but i wish you would have done something with my favorite idiot astronaut problem - lack of oxygen . that was the whole reason they had to leave . for 30 minutes , they had only 13 minutes of oxygen left . now , the moon looks remarkably like south florida , with lush , verdant plant life and the moonudies apparently had plenty to breathe as did the the astromorons because their helmets weren ' t sealed and were open the whole time they were up there . the only thing that made this movie worth watching was pretty obvious and even that got old after a while . this would be great mst -

frills silliness , almost tricking you into believing its balderdash . it\u2019s based on italian author milena agus\u2019s 2006 novella , which has been relocated by director nicole garcia to 1940s provence , the french coastal town of la ciotat , the swiss alps and lyon , sometime later in what looks to be the mid - 60s . the story is told in flashback from this point .\nall it takes is a quick glance at the very active \u201c sailor moon \u201d tag on tumblr to know that my experience with this property is in no way unique and , if anything , sailor moon\u2019 s legacy has only grown in the time it\u2019s been off the air , thanks to pop culture\u2019s overall uptick in interest in all things even marginally nerdy or cult -

defined group dynamic can be seen all over female - targeted entertainment , not just television ; two that spring immediately to mind are the baby - sitters club series , which predates sailor moon , and the spice girls , whose brand of \u201cgirl power\u201d hit american shores right around the time sailor moon was getting its legs . hell , sex and the city had it to a certain extent . looking at these things critically , it\u2019s reductive bordering on insensitive to build characters , especially female ones , around the idea of \u201cthe _ _ _ _ _ one , \u201d but it\u2019s undeniably a successful model , especially in children\u2019s entertainment .\nbefore we get to the ending , i forgot to mention that the aliens talk through antennas . these antennas are also conveniently headbands because the aliens also have a firm grip of fashion . this isn\u2019t discussed in the film . i just know a good fashion choice when i see it . so dr . handsome goes over to the moon queen and gives her a candy bar . she eats it and the two are now in love . to the point where old guy is like \u201cyo ! dr . handsome ! we better get out of here because we don\u2019t have oxygen and will die . \u201d but dr . handsome is so in love with moon queen that he is like \u2018nah , i just going to hang out with moon queen and not go to earth . \u201d then old guy is like \u201cbut bro , you will totally die if that happens . \u201d and dr . handsome kind of just shrugs and doesn\u2019t care . which is odd considering the two fell in love without talking to each other or having any time with each other , besides the one scene immediately before this where dr . handsome gives the moon queen a candy bar . i also am confused as to why dr . handsome doesn\u2019t just go back to earth and refill on oxygen then go back to the moon as it is only a two - hour drive .\nso through her antenna , moon queen also says that she loved dr . handsome , presumably because that candy bar was dope as hell . she also says that since she loves dr . handsome so much , she must force him to go . she then taps dr . handsome on the forehead and he passes out and old guy brings him to the ship . but keep in mind that the aliens can\u2019t talk through their antenna to humans . so dr . handsome didn\u2019t hear any of this . so in dr . handsome\u2019s mind , moon queen just knocked him the fuck out for no reason .\nand i , infinitesimal being , drunk with the great starry void , likeness , image of mystery , i felt myself a pure part of the abyss . i wheeled with the stars ; my heart broke loose on the open sky .\nprince\u2019s later albums weren\u2019t always well received but his reputation as one of the greatest live acts on earth never waned . here he is at the montreux jazz festival in switzerland in 2013\nmany of those major events had been set in motion before obama took office , though . still the outgoing president has left a substantial footprint on the space agency over the past eight years . in the space community , obama will undoubtedly be heralded for focusing on stronger partnerships with the private sector . and obama has made a big commitment to nasa\u2019s earth science programs , as well as the agency\u2019s investments in technology development .\nof course , that sort of status - quo reset happens all the time in television , and in the second season ( known as sailor moon r in the original ) , the scouts would be quickly reunited and continue going on their adventures fighting evil . but this was my first experience with this sort of thing , and my sadness / confusion with this development is what drove me online to find out what the hell was going on , eventually exposing me to the wide world of the japanese original and its deeper mythology . i\u2019m convinced sailor moon wouldn\u2019t have been able to get a foothold in the u . s . before the internet ; there are just too many holes in the dic version , in terms of both plot and character . but those holes function as an invitation to potential fans to dig deeper , and discover there were multiple seasons\u2019 worth of mythology and deeper character development waiting for them .\nyet that approach still has its appeal . once i got into the right mindset for the episode , i enjoyed the hell out of it , and the final confrontation between moon and the evil witch who hated everything was just terrific fun to watch . ( i love how often the evil characters on these shows are the sarcastic ones . ) i\u2019m a sucker for those big moments , i guess . i still remember the scene in the transformers : the movie when hot rod figures out how to open the cyber matrix whatsit ( don\u2019t remember the term , not looking it up ) and defeats the evil unicron , all scored to the strained hair - metal anthem \u201cthe touch . \u201d i\u2019ve watched the movie multiple times , i\u2019m not 10 anymore , and i still get chills from that shit . it\u2019s goofy as hell , but it works on me , and i felt some of that old magic watching the climax of this episode .\nmeanwhile , the shift to a \u201cmars first\u201d plan for human spaceflight has not been received well by some within nasa and congress ; many people still hope to go to the moon before the red planet . \u201cthey dropped the moon aspect as something that was what the bush administration was doing , \u201d says pace . \u201cit was a very political decision , and so the mars and asteroids come forward as being new or different . \u201d the journey to mars has also been frequently criticized for lacking a definitive timeline , and the effort will likely need a substantial amount of money \u2014 much more than nasa will conceivably receive .\nbut before you get too excited , wilde followed up the story with a tweet that clarified a\ncouple\nof things :\ndon ' t want to disappoint , but my ' nude ' scene in cowboys & aliens is very pg13 . i was in a bikini but we ' ll make it look as naked as we can .\nno one else will sleep with my dream , love . you will go ; we will go joined by the waters of time . no other one will travel the shadows with me , only you , ever green , ever sun , ever moon .\nin the above examples , the un has failed through the lack of initiative and protection given by peacekeepers who were present on the ground during the conflict . thus , over and over again showing the need for greater accountability and stronger mandates for the protection of civilians . also , the un seems to have failed in settling ongoing conflicts in the central african republic , iraq , syria , yemen , ukraine , and the longest conflict from the last century \u2013 the israeli - palestine conflict .\na wide selection of free online movies are available on fmovies / bmovies . you can watch movies online for free without registration .\ndisclaimer : this site does not store any files on its server . all contents are provided by non - affiliated third parties .\nso our two heroes , who i will refer to as old guy and dr . handsome because i honestly don\u2019t think they ever say their names , then get in their space ship and fly to the moon . this of course only takes two hours . it\u2019s like a sunday drive . old guy and dr . handsome get out of their spaceship and wear the safest space suits to ever be put on screen . old guy wears a red pair of long underwear with some football padding on it . dr . handsome wears the same thing but in green that way , they can tell each other apart . they also have state of the art helmets , which are pieces of plastic that is in no way connected to the rest of the suit and in multiple shots we can see that they are resting on their heads with bottoms completely open to the moon air . i honestly don\u2019t know why nasa made those dumb looking ones when they had this film to show them how radical and cool the space suits could be .\nduring shadow ' s vigil on the world tree , laura comes to visit him in the moonlight . shadow asks how she found him and she tells him that he is the closest thing she has to real life so she will always know where to find him . she offers to cut him down but he tells her to leave him because he is finally alive . shadow tells her to go to the farmhouse and visit the norns who will give her water . he asks her to stay the night and she stays until the moon sets .\nin the present , mad sweeney curses in old irish at the sky before turning around and crouching down next to laura ' s body . he places the coin on laura ' s sternum and she returns to life with a punch to sweeney ' s face . she flips the ice cream truck back over and is able to get it started again so they can proceed on their journey .\nin the morgue , the medical examiner hears a noise and goes to investigate . he turns around as laura bursts out from the morgue drawer , accidentally killing him with the door . she sees her reflection in the mirror and blows on it , producing no condensation . she gets dressed and walks out of the morgue .\niconic movie home where molly ringwald ' s sixteen candles was filmed finally sells for $ 1 . 135 million after two years on market\nthey stop off in eagle point and laura spies on her mom and family as they decorate easter eggs before getting back in the cab and telling salim to drive .\nfandor makes it easy for you to find the right film to watch . with the biggest handpicked collection of the most - talked - about indie films from around the world , there\u2019s always something great to watch , whatever your mood , on almost any device .\nnaked you are simple as one of your hands ;

if she were stronger , she might not have needed the power of her friends to ultimately defeat queen beryl , and what it seems to me from watching this episode is that the friendship theme is the best and most important one in the show\u2019s arsenal . and if there\u2019s anything i gravitate toward\u2014both as a child and now\u2014it\u2019s stories that explore the importance of friendship and the makeshift families we make for ourselves through our friends . that sailor moon celebrates female friendship makes me extremely happy it ended up in syndication here to be discovered like you discovered it , genevieve , because stories about female friendship are far too rare , for both kids and adults .\njeff and the professor are held while the grand council decides their fate . since the entire meeting takes place telepathically and we are only privy to the queen ' s comments what exactly transpired is a mystery . it is safe to assume a few of the questions were ,\nshould we tell them not to wear boxer shorts under tights ?\nand\nwhy do they keep looking at my chest ?\ncooler heads prevail and the two goons are soon free again . let ' s ignore the nudity for a minute here . what would you do on a moon full of intelligent beings ? try to communicate with them right ? learn about their history and culture , berate yourself for wearing skintight clothing , that sort of thing . the two scientists wander around for thirty minutes , taking the occasional picture and collecting samples . one minute they are watching some nude nymphs frolic , then jeff instructs the professor to\nget some of that soil .\nbe they men of science or just plain men , it does not make sense .\nto hear the immense night , still more immense without her . and the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture .\nwhat they do understand is that sri lanka is no rwanda . they have an immense pride in the history of their country and would not welcome such a comparison , especially by a foreigner who has typically been portrayed a \u2018puppet of the west\u2019 in sri lankan society . \u2018nationalistic\u2019 politicians of the opposition will use this small part of the speech to harp on the dangers posed by the \u2018spineless\u2019 foreign policy of the current government . such ammunition is the last thing the government wanted the unsg to provide to the opposition .\ngot to see this one last night , thanks again to netflix !

simply breathing is not life . multiple lives would be too little to get the most out of existence , and little of his one life remains , but at least he is alive and there is time for \u201csomething more . \u201d it would be a shame to do nothing for even three days ; he does not want to store himself away . his \u201cgray spirit\u201d yearns to attain knowledge and follow it \u201clike a sinking

that the moslems were eventually successful in converting nikitin to islam . 33 this is unfounded . we have no reason to doubt the truth of nikitin\u2019s frequent statements in his notes that despite all the pressure from the moslems , he remained true to christianity . his contact with other religions did exert a certain influence on nikitin\u2019s outlook , however . after describing the successes of the moslem sultan and the \u201cmohammedan faith\u201d in india , nikitin wrote : \u201cas for the true faith , god alone knows it , and the true faith is to believe in one god , and to invoke his name in purity in every pure place . \u201d this viewpoint of the merchant from tver would certainly not have been regarded as orthodox in his homeland and might have got him into serious trouble ( as might his statement that there was \u201clittle justice\u201d in the land of russia ) , had he not died on the return journey home .\nthe poem is based on the character odysseus from homer ' s odyssey (\nulysses\nis the latin form of the name ) , but tennyson also drew upon dante ' s inferno , canto xxvi , in which dante is led by the roman epic poet virgil to meet ulysses and hear his tale . in homer , odysseus is told by the blind prophet tiresias that he will return home to ithaca but will then make one more journey to a land far away from home . in dante , this part of the story is fleshed out . ulysses gathers his men together to prepare for the journey and exhorts them not to waste their time left on earth . he dies on this journey , which is why he is in dante\u2019s hell . tennyson ' s character is somewhere in between these literary predecessors , as ulysses knows he will set off on a last journey but has not done so yet . critics also note the influence of shakespeare , particularly his troilus and cressida , which also includes ulysses .\n\u201cthis is the place ! \u201d said the monkey king . \u201cright where the woodcutter told me . i

hitting me three times meant to come here in the third watch of the night . and holding your hands behind you meant to use the back door . i came just as you instructed . \u201d\nwritten for himself , nikitin\u2019s notes are one of the most individual works of old russia : we know afanasy nikitin and can imagine his personality far better than that of most russian writers from early times to the seventeenth century . the autobiographical and lyrical elements in the voyage beyond three seas , which conveys the emotional suffering and mood of the author , were new features in old russian literature and characteristic of the fifteenth century . in its directness and concreteness the voyagebeyondthreeseas is reminiscent of innocentius\u2019 account of the last days of paphnutius of borovsk discussed above . but afanasy nikitin is a much more striking and interesting figure than innocentius , of course . the personal nature of the voyage , the author\u2019s ability to show us his emotions , his inner world , all these features of afanasy nikitin\u2019s diary re - emerge two centuries later in one of the finest monuments of old russian literature , the life of archpriest avvakum .\nnegron appreciates the power of musical memories and the fans behind his success . and this year , in between updating his biography and finishing up negron generations , an album with his

marco , the traveler , from italy to china . it seems that everyone\u2019s version of marco polo\u2019s travels is different , and i expect each director will respond to different elements of these tales in creating the dramatic world of the opera .\nthis adventure film features scott mcvay , an authority on whales , and filmmaker bill mason . the objective was to film the bowhead , a magnificent inhabitant of the cold arctic seas brought to the edge of extinction by overfishing . with helicopter and inuit guide , aqualungs and underwater cameras , the expedition searches out and meets the bowhead and beluga .\nthe opera has had three different productions and has been performed in more than 20 cities worldwide . set to a libretto by paul griffiths , marco polo uses the famed 13th - century italian traveler as a metaphor to explore the meaning of \u201cjourney\u201d on several levels . its formal structure presents three journeys \u2013 spiritual / psychological , physical / geographical , and musical \u2013 within two \u201coperas\u201d that gradually amalgamate to a common goal . in marco polo , tan dun sought to discover a 21st - century form for opera \u2013 one that incorporates multiple languages , cultures and time periods , eastern and western operatic traditions , and varied musical styles to create an authentically international genre . tan dun won the 1998 grawemeyer award for music composition , arguably one of the most prestigious awards of its kind , for marco polo .\npreserved in a miscellany of the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century , and also in an independent chronicle compilation of the 1480s ( the sophia second and lvov chronicles ) , nikitin\u2019s voyage beyond three seas was a completely unofficial piece of writing ; consequently it was entirely lacking in the features characteristic of religious or official secular literature . only a few points linked it with the \u201cvoyages\u201d and \u201cpilgrimages\u201d of preceding centuries : the listing of geographical place - names with an indication of the distances between them and notes on the riches of this or that country . in fact , however , nikitin\u2019s voyage was a travel diary , notes about his adventures , while writing which the author did not know how they would end : \u201cfour easter sundays have already passed in the moslem land , but i have not forsaken the christian faith ; and god knows what may yet happen\u2026 in thee i trust , \u043e god , save me , \u043e lord ! i know not my way . whither shall i go from hindustan ? \u201d later nikitin set off back to russia and found a way \u201cfrom hindustan\u201d , but here too the record of his wanderings follows the course of his journey closely and breaks off with his arrival in caffa ( theodosia ) in the crimea .\ntennyson ' s ulysses is now old , having experienced all of the adventures of battle at troy and on the seas throughout his odyssey . back home , he has had enough of his life as a ruler of men , keeping the peace at home ; instead , he desires to embark upon his next journey . in the first part of the poem he speaks to himself , lamenting his uselessness as a ruler given the idleness of his people . they have no ambition ; they \u201cknow not\u201d the kind of adventuresome spirit that their king has . in contrast , he \u201cwill drink / life to the lees ,

this question , posed to me twenty years ago by a southern chinese monk , until fifteen years later , when i began composing marco polo . yes , in each of my compositions i think sounds and different musical cultures guide my own development , leading me through a deeper journey before the work can reach technical refinement . from medieval to mongolian chants ; from western opera to peking opera from orchestra to sitar , pipa , and tibetan ritual horns \u2014 the fusion of musical sounds from all corners of the globe is the definition of \u201cmarco polo\u201d to me . did marco polo\u2019s journey actually happen ? did someone dream it up ? or did the journey imagine us ? is chuang zi a butterfly , or is the butterfly chuang zi ? my colleague paul said it well : \u201cjourneys are like dawns in having no beginning or ending but only continuing . \u201d\nat trebizond , i arrived during the protection of the blessed virgin , and remained for five days . i boarded a vessel and

bairam , the sultan made a ceremonial departure : with him went twenty great viziers , adorned with mighty armour , with turrets . in the turrets sat six men with cannon and guns , and on the big elephants , twelve men . and on each elephant were emblazoned two great banners , and mighty swords weighing a kantar , were attached to their tusks , and on their necks , enormous iron weights 84 .

.\nthe novel , written anonymously but often attributed to the humorist wu cheng\u2019en , is an epic comic fantasy of 100 chapters . my retelling covers only the first seven chapters , which form a

this shore and sail beyond the sunset , exploring until he dies . perhaps they even will reach the happy isles and meet achilles . although they are weak in age , much vigor remains ; they still have

occurring simultaneously . first ( opera i ) is the book of timespace , which is developed on eastern opera vocal and instrumental traditions . the second ( opera ii ) is developed on western opera traditions blending and layering different musical styles and colors , languages , using both eastern and western instruments .\nand when the sultan steps out with his mother and his wife , he is

negron is in a great place and as creative as ever .\nit may be a stretch to go a step farther and argue that ulysses seeks to understand life beyond death , but consider that \u201cit may be\u201d that they reach the isles where achilles resides . after all , ulysses says that \u201cmy purpose holds / to sail beyond the sunset , and the baths / of all the western stars , until i die . \u201d critic charles mitchell notes , \u201cone needs to emphasize that ulysses\u2019s goal is not death , but is in death : that is , ulysses seeks not death , but life in death . \u201d other details in the poem support this view , such as the sea voyage , which is often a symbol for the voyage of death ; his old age ; his referring to himself and shipmates as spirits ; and the \u201cdark , broad , sea\u201d which is unfathomable and carries mysterious voices . certainly it is quite an adventure to reach the isles or hades or somewhere that human beings normally do not reach while alive . ulysses may indeed want to find direct evidence of spiritual reality after death .\nthe land is heavily populated . the villagers are very poor , while the noblemen own vast lands and are very wealthy

ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book . introduction \u201cnot all pioneers went west , \u201d writes david mccullough in the beginning pages of the greater journey . from the 1820s to 1900 , generations of americans made the pioneering journey across the atlantic on a mission of learning and accomplishment in the intellectual , scientific , and artistic capital of the western world : paris . david mccullough tells the story of the generations of americans whose struggles and discoveries in the city of light set them on the path to high achievement . james fenimore cooper , author of the beloved deerslayer novels , formed an important lifelong friendship in the halls of the louvre with samuel f . b . morse , the renowned painter and inventor of the telegraph . charles sumner , the leading abolitionist u . s . senator , first examined his views on race when he studied at paris\u2019s diverse sorbonne . elihu washburne , the u . s . minister to france , performed heroically during the siege of paris and the horrors of the commune , serving americans and other foreign nationals as the official representative of his country . augustus s see more\nmalik - at - tujar took two indian towns 93 that supported piracy in the indian ocean . he seized seven princes and their treasury : sacks of corundum , diamonds , rubies , a hundred bags of costly goods , and his army took other items innumerable . he besieged them for two years 94 , and his forces numbered two hundred thousand , and a hundred elephant , and three hundred camels .\nin the third part ulysses seems to address his hearty mariners . the port , the boat , and the seas all beckon him . the mariners are his compatriots ; they have been through thick and thin together . unlike living under a king , on the seas they made their choices and took their risks with \u201cfree hearts , free foreheads . \u201d those were the good old days , even fighting with gods , but there is no good reason to waste away in nostalgia . so long as they can do \u201csomething ere the end , / some work of noble note , \u201d ulysses wants to be doing it . although the coming night in the poem reflects the waning years of their lives , it \u201cis not too late to seek a newer world . \u201d the \u201cmany voices\u201d of the ocean call out to them to come back\u2014the voices of experiences past and of experiences yet to come . their life is fulfilling when they are adventuring on the sea . no matter how much strength they have , while they have it they retain the strength of \u201cwill / to strive , to seek , to find , and not to yield . \u201d\n\u201cfive hundred years from now , \u201d said the buddha , \u201ci will need a messenger from the middle kingdom to come to the western paradise and carry back holy scriptures . it will be your own role to find a man or woman worthy of the task . at that time , too , you will recruit our penitent monkey friend to protect the messenger on the long and perilous journey . by doing so , the monkey will atone for his crimes and earn enlightenment . \u201d\nact 2 in four dreams and three interviews , marco and polo are led by the shadows of shakespeare , feud and john cage to examine inner space . chuang zi dreams as a butterfly ; mahler and li po drink to the song of the earth . in china or elsewhere , is contact

dropped out of sight , not even making a name for himself ; but before leaving , damned stadler for launching the state science institute .\nnizam - al - mulk , malik - khan and fathulla - khan seized three big towns 95 . their armies numbered a hundred thousand men and fifty elephant . and they captured corundum without number , and many other precious stones . and all the diamonds and rubies were bought up on behalf of malik - at - tujar , and he forbade the masters to sell them to the merchants who had come to bidar at the time of the assumption .\nthe original reason that production expanded to location - shoots in iceland in season 2 was apparently to accurately portray the rugged frozen vistas of the lands beyond the wall , i . e . when jon snow , qhorin halfhand , or ygritte are walking on an actual frozen glacier with rugged mountains in the background , without the need for special effects shots to fill those details in ( which it was feared would look fake ) . however , the location scouts found other areas in iceland which they felt would be perfect for scenes from the other storylines . while scenes beyond the wall were filmed in iceland during the winter , they production team realized that during the summer melt , iceland has many pristine landscapes and lush valleys suitable for filming other locations in westeros . the wildling raiding party containing ygritte and tormund filmed in iceland during the winter for their scenes north of the wall : in season 4 they have returned to iceland but in the summer , to depict the somewhat warmer lands of the gift immediately south of the wall . arya stark and sandor clegane ' s storyline , as well as brienne of tarth ' s storyline , will also include some scenes filmed in iceland ( representing parts of the riverlands , etc . ) . [ 13 ]\nwith god\u2019s mercy , i crossed the three seas . the rest , god knows , allah the protector judges . amen ! bismillah al - rahman al - rahim . allah - u - akbar , good god , good lord . jesus the spirit of god , peace to you . god is great . there is no god but god . god the provident . praise the lord , thanks be to god all - conquering . in the name of god the compassionate , the merciful . it is god , other than whom there is no god , who knows all that is secret and manifest . he is merciful , compassionate . there is no god but god . he is king , holiness , peace , saviour , judge of good and evil , almighty , the healer , the exalted , the creator , the designer , the releaser of sin , punisher , solver of all problems , the nourisher , triumphant , omniscient , the restorer , the protector , the ennobler , the merciful , the punisher of sin , all - hearing , all - seeing , the righteous , the just , the good .\nfrom gulbarga i proceeded to kalloor . carnelian is produced in kalloor , and it is processed here and transported throughout the world from here . three hundred weaponsmiths dwell in kalloor , decorating weapons . i stayed there five months and went thence to golconda . there is a great market there . from there i went to gulbarga , and from gulbarga to aland . from aland , i went to amendri , and from amendri to naryasa , and from naryasa to suri 104 , and from suri to dabhol , a port on the indian ocean .\non the day of memory of sheikh alaeddin ( or , in our reckoning , the protection of the holy virgin ) , malik - at - tujar led his forces from bidar against the hindus . his forces numbered fifty thousand , and the sultan sent him his own forces , numbering fifty thousand , and with them , three viziers and thirty thousand men . and with them were a hundred armoured elephant with turrets , and on each elephant were four men with harquebuses . malik - at - tujar went to fight vijayanagar , a great hindu kingdom .\nalthough the a song of ice and fire novels were originally planned as a trilogy , to be titled a game of thrones , a dance with dragons and the winds of winter , eventually george r . r . martin realized his plot of\nbook one\nwould have to be expanded into three novels \u200b ( a game of thrones , a clash of kings and a storm of swords ) , which effectively means the first three books are one very long novel . in fact , the climax of a storm of swords concludes many of the plotlines begun in a game of thrones . martin even initially planned to make a five - year time jump between the third and fourth novels , to emphasize how much of a chapter - break the climaxes of the third novel were to the overall story ( though the time jump was later abandoned ) . thus , david benioff said he was very confident about season 4 , because it contains many climactic scenes which not only ended the third novel ( to a greater extent than the red wedding ) , but concluded storylines begun in season 1 . [ 15 ]\nthe poem is seventy lines of blank verse in the style of a dramatic monologue , with three audiences\u2014odysseus himself , the reader , and his mariners ( although he may only be imagining what he might say to us and to his mariners ) . the poem garnered praise from tennyson ' s contemporaries as well as successive literary figures including t . s . eliot , who called it a\nperfect\npoem . it is generally considered one of his finest works and is a mainstay of victorian poetry anthologies as well as selections of tennyson ' s oeuvre .\nfrom junnar , we departed on assumption , and went to bidar , their chief city 42 . we travelled to bidar for a month , and from bidar to kulangiri 43 for five days , and from kulangiri to gulbarga , five days . between these cities , there are many towns ; some days we crossed three towns , and other days , four : there were as many towns as kos 44 . from chaul to junnar , there are twenty kos ; from junnar to bidar , forty kos ; from bidar to kulongiri , nine kos ; and from bidar to gulbarga , nine kos .\nthe making game of thrones official production blog has confirmed that filming did not return to morocco for season 4 . this decreases the number of countries that the tv series films in from four to three ( northern ireland , croatia , and iceland ) . [ 10 ] morocco was used for the location filming of daenerys ' s season 3 scenes set in slaver ' s bay , specifically the cities of astapor and yunkai . daenerys ' s storyline continues to take place in slaver ' s bay during season 4 , but other locations ( apparently in croatia ) will be used to represent it ."]}

operated toy in faraway shots this film is a laugh riot . the cherry on top of this cake is that ' joanna von savant ' of the title is really joanna kerns from tv ' s growing pains . apparently the 1980s weren ' t a good time for her , between being fondled by a fake ape in a ripoff of a dino laurentis film or a tv mom to a bunch of stupid kids that go to a school that calls their sports team\nhooters .\nin short , don ' t watch ape . experience it and hope to god someone ' s future film career depended on this .\nking kong\u2019s arrival in movie theaters was only a piece of the overall marketing strategy . time magazine , in october of 1976 , featured a cover story to the film , which promised \u201chere comes king kong , \u201d and then the merchandise began to hit toy stores in waves .\nthe year was 1976 \u2014 exactly forty years ago \u2014 and america was celebrating its bicentennial . jaws ( 1975 ) was a huge blockbuster , and star wars was still a year off .\nall contents \u00a9 2011 -

line .\nin fact , it is hard not to see the entire film a spoof of the upcoming king kong remake . the director of the film within a * p * e is named \u201cdino\u201d ( played by actual a * p * e director paul leder ) . i can\u2019t see this as anything but a none -

up . and , man , for 1976 - it ' s pretty damn good stuff . you can ' t believe the jump from\nwe ' re dealing with a giant gorilla , of course , much like king kong in principle . in practice , our gorilla is a shameful imitation of the mighty kong , insofar as our gorilla is very clearly nothing more than a man who is wearing an ape costume . it ' s not even a very good ape costume , and the man inside it doesn ' t bother to act in an ape - like manner . it wouldn ' t have been any less convincing if they ' d skipped the costume altogether and just written\nape\non a piece of paper with a sharpie and taped it to the guy ' s shirt .\ninstead , rambaldi made some giant ape hands to interact with lange , and worked with makeup - effects expert rick baker to create a series of ape masks and a convincing ape suit , which baker then wore to perform the part of kong on a miniature set . the effect is , unavoidably , reminiscent of a godzilla movie\u2014to my eyes , charmingly so . de laurentiis promised state - of - the - art , and though the publicity leading up to kong \u2019s release played up the robot ape , only kids would mistake the kong who gets the most screen time for anything but an extremely talented guy in a ( mostly ) first - rate costume .\n, complete with a poster that trumpeted that this kong would fight a great white shark , going blockbuster to blockbuster against jaws . this battle would be foreshadowed ( and was probably ripped off from ) a 1976\nthe only thing more terrifying than the last 12 minutes of this film are the first 92 .\ni ' ve always had a soft spot for this movie . i first saw it on tv when i was about three years old , and it really captured my imagination . i of course eventually saw the 1933 original and later the peter jackson remake and came to view those more highly , but i never really considered the 1976 version a bad film . it has some fine acting , beautiful set design , a fantastic score and an endearing interpretation of everyone ' s favorite giant ape .\ni would be perfectly willing to bet a large sum of money ( if i had a large sum of money ) on the fact that i could take any person on this website , give them the budget available to ape director paul leder , whatever it was , and be assured that they would turn in a better movie . then again , that may sound like a backhanded compliment , because blank film - stock would have been better then ape .\nuntil rko got wind of it and sued them $ 1 . 5 million dollars . the film was then titled\nan american / south korean co - production , this film was intended for a 3d release , as is quite evident when you see the flaming arrows shot at the camera that the big ape cannily dodges against a blue screen . it was released just before the much buzzed about and aforementioned\nin 1976 , an odd collection of american and south korean filmmakers got together to make the 3 - d feature a * p * e , a king kong remake . most people call it it a knockoff . i call it a parody . and as such , i think it\u2019s a lot better a film than most people recognize .\nour agreement permits mr de laurentiis to make the best possible film ,\nread sid sheinberg ' s statement ,\nand permits universal to select the best possible approaches to its king kong venture . universal intends to produce and release a king kong film under optimum production and distribution conditions , subsequent to the de laurentiis film release .\namong other idiocy , the giant ape literally flips off the korean military . this bit of nonsense plays like an obscene inversion of godzilla ' s\nvictory jig\nin 1965 ' s monster zero . as for ape ' s costume , it is even worse than toho kong ' s much - denigrated monkey suit in king kong vs . godzilla .\na giant ape escapes as it is being shipped back to disneyland and rampages across the south korean countryside , where it causes mass destruction and snatches up a beautiful american actress .\nis laughable in every respect . the effects work here is shockingly bad . the scenes of the ape destroying a ridiculously unconvincing model ship and then wrestling with a rubber shark at the start of the film are a clear indication of what is to come . the scenes that follow with the ape rampaging through and smashing obvious plywood houses and , in a couple of hysterically unconvincing model shots , stepping over a toy cow and batting a hanglider and pilot on a visible wire , produce gales of laughter in their ineptitude . scenes of destruction go on and on without even the slightest degree of directorial conviction of dramatic interest being created due to the fact that the film eschews almost any type of optical shots whatsoever \u0096 we never see any shots of the ape and people together in the same frame . although the reason for this could be that the three optical shots we do see that patch the ape over stock background shots of seoul are some of the worst travelling matte shots in the history of special effects . the ape suit is immobile in expression and one can clearly see the eyeholes that have been made in the mask for the actor inside . there is stock footage of military vehicles on manoeuvres repeated several times throughout , which are meant to stand in for the massed military attack against the ape .\nour agreement permits mr . de laurentiis to make the best possible film ,\nread sid sheinberg ' s statement ,\nand permits universal to select the best possible approaches to its king kong venture . universal intends to produce and release a king kong film under optimum production and distribution conditions , subsequent to the de laurentiis film release .\na lot of folks these days seem to think that the mcu or star wars movies originated the movie franchise - merchandise connection , but king kong mania , 1976 - style is evidence to the contrary in the cinematic fossil record .\nfilm actress jessica lange who starred in a remake of ' king kong ' , with a model of . . .\nactress fay wray in rko ' s film production of ' king kong ' , directed by merian c . . .\nking kong was met with mixed reception from viewers and critics alike upon release . many criticized it for failing to live up to the original film , and it was often accused of being too campy . some critics , including roger ebert , gave positive reviews to the film , praising the humor and acting . the film launched the career of actress jessica lange , who received a golden globe for best acting debut in a motion picture - female for her role in the film .\noh , sure , there\u2019s some lip service to environmentalism and a greedy oil company exploiting the land\u2014but really , this king kong is all about sex , and brutish male sexuality . the giant , horny ape both within and without . and thanks to lange , that\u2019s the only level on which the film succeeds .\nit\u2019s while she is filming this movie that the ape spots marilyn for the first time and becomes fascinated with her , she\u2019s blonde and i guess that is something giant simians just can\u2019t resist , but before grabbing the damsel he does spend time terrorizing children at an abandoned amusement park which had me waiting for one of the kids to exclaim , \u201c that\u2019s not a giant ape , it\u2019s only mister jenkins the park owner ! \u201d the giant ape also beats up on a snake , interrupts a kung fu movie being made , and plays with a passing hang glider .\npraised the site for offering\nlengthy , spirited reviews . . . with the ethos of a true film aficionado .\nthe 1976 remake of king kong made the leering , heavy - breathing sexual subtext of the first film into text by featuring a heroine ( jessica lange as ditzy actress dwan\u2014yes , not dawn ) who is practically sex incarnate . in a performance that gives little indication of the powerhouse , oscar - winning actress she would become , lange radiates incandescent sensuality as the unfortunate object of king kong\u2019s carnal desire\u2014as well as everyone else\u2019s . this includes hunky jeff bridges as a rugged animal - lover type , who is so hairy that he puts off a distinct ape - man vibe himself .\nthe title of this movie may indicate a monster of primate origins , but the film itself is a dog under any nomenclature .\nactress fay wray in rko ' s film production of ' king kong ' , directed by merian c cooper and ernest schoedsack .\ndespite often being called a financial flop , king kong was actually a sizable financial success , earning paramount pictures over triple its budget . king kong had a budget of approximately $ 24 million and ended up with a worldwide gross of $ 90 . 6 million . according to the numbers , king kong was the third - highest grossing film of 1976 , behind rocky and to fly ! [ 1 ] according to variety , king kong went on to be the fifth - highest grossing film of 1977 as well .\nerb\u2019s book , revised from her earlier 1998 version , comprehensively details global and national interpretations and analyses of king kong , and includes a section on peter jackson\u2019s king kong . it is indispensable for film studies scholars who want to situate the film within competing discourses .\nbut that the producers of a * p * e managed to perfectly parody de laurentiis\u2019 king kong before it was ever seen by the public says much . they knew the technology that was avaiable , and so they knew just what a silly ape they would create . all i remember of the 1976 king kong is a clearly fake kong looking at dawn ( jessica lange ) like she a big pearly that he had won in a grammar school game of marbles .\nin fact , the lawsuit also forced the producers of this film to state that this movie \u201cwas not to be confused with king kong . \u201d that\u2019s right , please don\u2019t confuse this movie about a giant monkey kidnapping an actress and fighting planes with any other film .\nin any event , an exceedingly horny ape happens upon the set and abducts marilyn , as expected . ( she runs directly into his open palm . ) lacking an empire state building , ape takes marilyn out into a nondescript field and stashes the screaming growing pains mom in a cave while he fights with the military , which has finally swung into action . the soldiers fire bullet after useless bullet at ape ; ape responds by smashing the tanks and killing a lot of soldiers . marilyn , instead of using this distraction as an opportunity to flee , stays in the cave and screams . she does this until tom the smarmy reporter\nrescues\nher , which he does by getting within earshot of her and calling her name , causing her to run toward him and thus to safety , as if she were a beagle .\nan american / south korean co - production , this film was intended for a 3d release , as is quite evident when you see the flaming arrows shot at the camera that the big ape cannily dodges against a blue screen . it was released just before the much buzzed about and aforementioned kong , complete with a poster that trumpeted that this\u2026\nthen again , kidnapping a giant ape from its homeland , bringing it back to the united states , and parading it around town like some sort of circus sideshow , seemed like a good idea as well .\n7 . as the military attack continues , the big ape faces the scream and flips them off . but honestly , that just has to be the contempt this entire movie has for you , the audience .\nthis scene is not helped by how bad the ape suit looks wet or by the fact that the actors t - shirt is briefly visible during the \u201cfight\u201d sequence . the ape then wades ashore and proceeds to rampage through this seaside village , but really it looks more like a drunk stumbling home while trying to scrape dog shit off his shoe . a * p * e is not poetry in motion . aside from the big ape the film focuses on four other characters ; captain kim ( nak - hun lee ) a local police official whose claims of a giant ape terrorizing the countryside are ignored , then there is movie star marilyn baker ( joanna kerns though she was billed as joanna devarona as that was her given name , it was after this film that she changed her name to kerns , for obvious reason ) and when she is arrives in south korea she is met by a gaggle of press that includes journalist and ex - lover tom rose ( rod arrants ) , who comes across as more of a stalker than a serious love interest . but the real star of this movie is colonel davis ( alex nicol ) as the beleaguered american military officer who can\u2019t believe he is stuck dealing with an oversized monkey , and he spends the first half of the movie in denial that this giant ape even exists .\nking kong was the first film project for legendary makeup effects artist rob bottin . bottin , famous for his later work on films such as the thing , robocop and total recall , served as an uncredited assistant makeup effects technician under his mentor rick baker for this film .\nyes , king kong 1976 was a pretty big failure , critically and commercially . there\u2019s no getting around it . production problems were minimal , but the budget ballooned and the shooting schedule expanded beyond eight months . a 40 - foot tall replica of kong was built for a large portion of the film , but looked so awkward it wound up with merely seconds of screen time . critics derided this larger - than - life remake , perhaps undone by its own bombastic publicity tour and ego - filed poster leading up to the film\u2019s release :\nreally , though , it\u2019s samuel l . jackson\u2019s war - mongering psycho\u2014who gets more crazy - eyed with each successive scene\u2014who cuts the most kurtzian figure . then again , skull island is clearly about vietnam as well\u2014so maybe king kong represents our allies in the region ? or , appropriately enough , the viet kong ? this is all so confusing ! why can\u2019t a movie about a giant ape just be about a giant ape ?\naccording to wikipedia : \u201cking kong was commercially successful , earning paramount pictures back over triple its budget . the film ended up at # 5 on variety\u2019s chart of the top domestic ( u . s . ) moneymakers of 1977 . the film was released in december 1976 and therefore earned the majority of its money during the early part of 1977 . the film made just over $ 90 million worldwide on a $ 24 million budget . \u201d commercial failure ? i think not . but yes , it received a mixed response from critics for sure . it was also nominated for three oscars , winning one for best visual effects . and on a personal note , the sound track by john barry is absolutely incredible and very underrated . thanks for writing about this film . some of us totally understand the appreciation for this awesome 70\u2019s gem !\n10 . it all ends with the fakest tank in the history of cinema shooting ape in the heart , leading to him spitting a comical geister of blood , as if he were a cowhand in a peckinpah flick , as the swearing general screams , \u201clet\u2019s see him dance for his organ grinder now ! \u201d ape slowly falls , slowly dying , quite slowly , as the music slows and life slowly leaves his body . slowly .\n\u201csee a * p * e \u2026 defy the jaws of a giant shark \u2026 destroy a teeming city \u2026 demolish an ocean liner \u2026 vanquish a monster reptile\u201d \u2013 the tag line for a * p * e ( 1976 ) promises as much as the incredible poster for this race - to - the - theater king kong rip - off from director paul leder . yes , yes ! this is the film where the giant gorilla flips off the army \u2026 in 3d , no less . let the fun begin ! the black saint and doc rotten tackle another groovy horror film from the 1970s . joining the grue - crew is gruesome magazine contributor jeff mohr and nc effects artist and film maker bill mulligan .\nbut the king\u2019s lasting impact couldn\u2019t be denied . the character inspired at least two japanese silent films in the years immediately following , a 1933 comedy ( in which a stage performer in an ape costume is mistaken for the real thing ) and a 1938 drama ( featuring a pet ape played by an actor in a costume ) . both films are now lost , but king kong would return to japan\u2014and to america . many , many times .\n1 . kong changes size and shape throughout the film and never break the illusion that he is but a man in a suit . where in a great kaiju film you can get past the rubber suit effect , here , they nearly push it into your face like a james cagney held\nobserved :\nfraley , a film buff , is known for his savantlike ability to name every best picture winner in history , by year .\nthough this film is often looked down upon , i think too much talent and effort went into it to call it a bad movie . true , it doesn ' t live up to the grandeur of the original film , but after all these years i think it ' s been made plenty clear that ' s never going to happen anyway ; the original is just too groundbreaking of a film to be so easily matched , let alone surpassed .\na newly discovered 36 - foot gorilla escapes from a freighter off the coast of korea . at the same time an american actress is filming a movie in the country . chaos ensues as the ape kidnaps her and rampages through seoul .\na newly discovered 36 - foot gorilla escapes from a freighter off the coast of korea . at the same time an american actress is filming a movie in the country . chaos ensues as the ape kidnaps . . . see more \u00bb\nthere ' s about a good ten minutes of goofy giant ape action padded out with dull scenes featuring the mom from\ngrowing pains\nand sorta - amusing bits with a military big - wig with a thing for smoking cigarettes .\nin general , books on king kong tend to be fan books , but many like gottesman and geduld 1976 have useful articles on production and interviews of the cast and crew , and some , like goldner and turner 1975 and morton 2005 , have information on sequels and remakes . in particular one looks to these books for background information on the history of the film , its reception , marketing , and the cast and crew , as well as for historiography . they also contain detailed information on the animation process headed by willis o\u2019brien as well as the making of the lush wagnerian musical score by max steiner . erb 2009 provides the most comprehensive book discussing the role of king kong in popular culture . cashill 2006 provides a critique of what is altered with computer - generated imagery ( cgi ) and the peter jackson version of king kong . lovelace , et al . 1976 is the novelization of the film .\nthe film spectrum began as a labor of love in may 2005 , and after years of obsessive research , launched in october 2011 . two months later ,\ndue to the film ' s financial success , dino de laurentiis tried for years to produce a sequel . finally , ten years later in 1986 , de laurentiis ' production company de laurentiis entertainment group produced a sequel , titled king kong lives . this film , however , was a critical and financial failure .\nnbc aired an extended 182 - minute version of the film on television in 1978 .

( d ) people couldn\u2019t get enough as rocky grossed more than $ 117 million , while total domestic box office from all the films exceeded $ 565 million . ( e )\neven though there is a clear sexual element to it , kong seems always to see ann ( dawn in 1976 ) as a pet . it\u2019s hard to see kong in a political context , because there never really was a major slave uprising . the minor ones did , of course , end as kong always does .\ndino de laurentiis promised a lot of things when he remade the classic king kong in 1976 and the backlash poisoned the critical reception . but almost 40 years later , it ' s not as bad as everyone thought . not close to the original , better than the peter jackson fiasco , it holds up pretty well .\nactually , king kong \u201976 was the 7th highest grossing film that year , making over twice its production budget . hardly a commercial failure . critical reception was mixed .\na * p * e features one of the worst gorilla costumes committed to film , ever . the seems are evident and the stitches come loose in the opening scene when ape fights a giant shark , revealing the undershirt underneath . amazing ! the film feels padded at 80 minutes long and features scene after scene of random locals running from the 36 foot gorilla , many of which can be seen smiling and laughing as they run . rich ! the army shows up late in the film so they can point their guns into the camera in \u201cstunning\u201d 3d effects . marvelous ! the gorilla shimmies , shakes , and dances his way across the south korean landscape scaring villages , stepping over fake cows , wrestling live snakes , and tearing down buildings with glorious glee . ah ! there\u2019s nothing else left to say\u2026 watch the film if you dare . regardless , listen to the grue - crew discuss a * p * e .\nthe movie opens with a freighter transporting the 36 foot tall titular ape from points unknown , though one sailor mentions it was picked up in harlem and is being transported to disneyland . i\u2019m not sure if that is an attempt at comedy or just plain racist , it\u2019s quite hard to tell in this film , but it\u2019s clear that this movie\u2019s $ 23 , 000 budget could not afford to give us skull island , and the toy boat we see in this opening scene is indicative of the effects this movie will bring us . for some reason the ape awakens early and starts to smash his way free . \u201c oh shit , \u201d exclaims one of the sailors , and by \u201cexclaim\u201d i mean deliver it in the deadest monotone possible . the acting in this movie goes from the hilarious to the hilariously bad . the ape escapes the flaming wreckage and then proceeds to fight a giant shark , and that the shark in question isn\u2019t a terrible constructed prop but an actual shark is a bit off - putting . if you thought rick baker in an ape suit wrestling a big rubber snake in the delaurentiis king kong was lame wait until you see a * p * e wrestle a dead shark .\nmartha ' s vineyard celebrated the film ' s 30th anniversary in 2005 with a\njawsfest\nfestival , [ 208 ] which had a second edition in 2012 .

linear plot , overlapping storylines , alternate worlds , hyperlinked events , and changing identities ( doubling of characters as doppelgangers ) can be dubious . even the title of the film was ambiguous , not referring to a region in socal , but something more interior to the psyche . the film ' s main clue was its tagline :\nhonestly , i was confussed with the plot of the film . the scene transitions make the film more difficult to be understood actually . for me it\u2019s like watching alice in wonderland , looks like every character in the movie wasn\u2019t a friendly character , the circumtances was weird and cold .\npan ' s labyrinth\n( 2006 ) took shape in the imagination of guillermo del toro as long ago as 1993 , when he began to sketch ideas and images in the notebooks he always carries . the mexican director responded strongly to the horror lurking under the surface of classic fairy tales and had no interest in making a children ' s film , but instead a film that looked horror straight in the eye . he also rejected all the hackneyed ideas for the creatures of movie fantasy and created ( with his oscar -

sized fruits . the fruits are ripe enough to harvest when the glochids fall off . twist , rather than pull , the fruit from the pad to avoid tearing it . if the fruits are harvested unripe , the peel color will change some , but some of the sugar in the fruit will be lost .\nthe entire family packed up a motor home , and set out on a two - month trip with the goal of staying off the interstate highways , and dipping their toes in the pacific and atlantic oceans . \u201ceverybody thought we would be at each others throats the whole time , \u201d adds lasseter , \u201cbut it was the exact opposite . when i came back from the trip , i was closer to my family than ever and i reattached to what was important in life . and i suddenly realized that i knew what the film needed to be about . i discovered that the journey in life is the reward . it\u2019s great to achieve things , but when you do you want to have your family and friends around to help celebrate . joe loved the idea and our story really took off from there . our lead car , lightning mcqueen , is focused on being the fastest . he doesn\u2019t care about anything except winning the championship . he was the perfect character to be forced to slow down , the way i had on my motor home trip . for the first time in my professional career i had slowed down , and it was amazing . the unique thing about pixar films is that the stories come from our hearts . they come from things that are personal to us , and that move us . this gives special emotion and meaning to the films . \u201d\nin the first crysis , north korea invades an island , which a bunch of aliens have basically turned into their own little private resort\u2014scoring some rest and relaxation while planning the destruction of the human race . naturally , the only logical thing to do , as humans , is to nuke said island back to the stone age . unfortunately , it turns out the aliens actually absorb nuclear energy , making them more powerful than ever . who knew ? ( there were warnings , but\u2026 ) in crysis 2 , then , one can safely assume there will be no nuking of aliens . right ? defying all logic and common sense , the military in the crysis series ' second installment orders a nuclear strike on new york city , in an attempt at eradicating the alien threat . w\u2026t\u2026f ? essentially , crysis 2 pretends the first game never happened . this plot hole is more than significant , as the latter portion of the second game is based entirely around said new york city nuking . it literally makes no sense . none . zero . you ' d think a failed nuking of an energy - absorbing alien race wouldn ' t be something the military would forget\u2014but apparently in crysis 2 , that file got lost somewhere .\nah , metroid . a classic nintendo franchise everyone seems to know about , but has never actually found mainstream success on the level of super mario or zelda . nevertheless , the game ' s premise is awesome : you ' re a woman in a badass robotic suit that kills aliens . what ' s not to like about that ? there is one problem , though\u2014and it isn ' t that , throughout metroid ' s history , we ' ve apparently killed\nthe last metroid\na few too many times . rather , it ' s the fact that we ' ve killed space pirate / dinosaur - wannabe ridley a few too many times . even the most adept metroid scholars have a hard time explaining the recurrence of ridley , one of the series ' most notorious bosses . those who ' ve played every metroid may be forgiven for thinking that they ' ve killed ridley almost a dozen times in metroid , super metroid , metroid prime , metroid prime 3 , and metroid fusion . apparently , however , he didn ' t actually die in all of those cases , and has been cloned multiple times\u2014at least that ' s how nintendo makes sense of it all . sounds like a copout to us . maybe it ' s past time for some genuinely new bosses in the metroid series , and to let poor ridley rest in peace .\nit ' s safe to assume final fantasy vii is most fans ' favorite game in the series\u2014hence the demand for a remake . however , one question has nagged even casual fans for ages : why didn ' t someone just use a phoenix down on aeris ? anyone who ' s played a final fantasy title knows phoenix downs are usable items which revive characters whose hit points are at zero . we ' ve used phoenix downs hundreds of times over the years\u2026so how come we couldn ' t just throw one on the murdered aeris and bring her back to life ? some might argue that phoenix downs can only revive characters who are knocked out , as opposed to dead\u2014but we ' re not sure we buy that logic . in final fantasy games , characters get blasted by lightning , burned with fire magic , sliced and shot in the face with gunblades , eradicated by giant guardian forces or mythical beings , hit in the nose with blitzballs\u2014okay , maybe that last one isn ' t such a big deal , but you get the point . do you mean to tell us that getting stabbed by sephiroth ' s sword is any worse than getting sliced and shot by seifer almasy ' s gunblade in final fantasy viii , or wrecked by a giant sentient cactus ?\neveryone remembers that controversial scene in call of duty : modern warfare 2 when you and a group of russians slaughter an airport full of people in a high - profile terrorist attack . questions surrounding the artistic merits aside , the level\u2014which has the player doing little more than mowing down scores of innocent civilians with a machine gun\u2014somehow manages to throw in a plot hole big enough to drive an armored swat tank through . at the end of the mission , you ' re betrayed by makarov and your terrorist colleagues , who cold - heartedly leave you behind . since you ' re american , this provokes a war between russia and the west . what makes no sense , however , is that nobody was able to identify makarov as the culprit in this extreme terrorist attack . it ' s already well - established that makarov is a high - profile target and internationally known terrorist leader , yet waltzing through an airport , without a mask , and blasting away dozens , if not hundreds , of innocent people isn ' t enough to identify the man behind the attack ? as shown in the loading screen scenes , makarov ' s terrorist threats have been published in newspapers , and the c . i . a . presumably has an extensive file on the most - wanted criminal\u2014but he literally walks into an one of the most heavily - monitored public places you can possibly imagine , armed to the teeth , and the presumably hundreds of cctv cameras are unable to properly identify makarov ' s face ?

day story , to start with , and lighter in tone than any she had been used to since her german comedies . borzage was a director with no interest in touching any of the darker bases of sexuality . the mood of the film was engaging : it wanted to make its people likable ; and since the slight story weighed no one down , the cast responded with spirit .\nas film grew in commercial importance , there were many variants of this process created ; but essentially it\u2019s the antecedent of what happens today digitally . when colour film started gaining ground ( around 1918 - 1936 ) clever new methods to separate foreground and different background were invented . one particular method was the blue screen colour difference process . invented by petro vlahos it became the basis for the most widely used methods of getting a travelling matte until digital techniques were possible in the 80s . the process demanded a very pure blue backlit background . the film negative produced was copied onto black and white filmstock through a blue filter , which allows only red and green to expose the film , so the blue area is transparent . however there is always likely to be a bit of blue on the foreground character so this black and white film was combined with the original negative to make a new high contrast matte , but this time through a special green filter . by now the blue screen is clear and the foreground character totally black . this \u2018male matte\u2019 is then copied to a negative \u2018female matte\u2019 . there are several other stages to this -

will 2010 manage to stay ahead of 2009 ? will it actually start winning again at the box office ? unfortunately , the answer to all three of those questions might be no . first of all , of the november wide releases , only two will really match expectations , with a couple of others coming close . so december starts on the weak side . additionally , last december saw the release of avatar , the biggest box office hit of all time . there ' s no film coming out this month that will match that movie . in fact , there ' s a chance no movie coming out this month will match last december ' s second place film , alvin and the chipmunks : the squeakquel . this means that even though 2010 had a $ 300 million lead over 2009 just a few weeks ago , by the end of the year , 2010 might fail to break last year ' s record . more . . .\nwinner of the best international feature film award at the london international film festival in 2015 , vertical is a story of love and loss and the meaning of family . alex hunter ( morgan . . . see full summary \u00bb\nplease note ! there may be multiple solutions to _ _ _ : legacy ( 2010 film sequel ) crossword puzzle definition . we apologize in advance , if there is another solution for this crossword clue . we share everyday the new answers for the new york times crossword . if anything is wrong than the answer we provide please write us an email so we can get it fixed real soon . please send it to us or leave comments below and we will add it too , asap !\nit ' s a triumph of streamlined design , but tron : legacy never enters the fourth dimension where it ' s worth a plugged nickel to humans .\nkosinski noted that at the time he was shooting legacy , disney had yet to pick up marvel or lucasfilm . owning those huge properties would likely mean that any sort of re - reboot of the tron story would come up against a high bar , given the box office success of those properties . that said , tron : legacy did a decent job of picking up from a film that was almost three decades old . kosinski\u2019s plans for a sequel \u201cinvasion\u201d movie makes perfect sense given what legacy established about programs coming to the real world , and it would be interesting to see just what \u201csource code\u201d this potential third film could draw from , and what role this new character would play in it .\na sad attempt to capture some of the magic of a dated film . the special effects were pretty good though .\nthe hollywood reporter \u2019 s sources say that this potential new film won\u2019t be a direct sequel to tron : legacy . instead , it will be \u201cbuilt out of the source code of the deleted tron 3 script , \u201d with leto playing a character from that screenplay named ares .\n[ tron legacy ] feels pointless - like a computer in someone ' s basement that was built for no purpose other than noodling on , twenty years ago .\nthe soundtrack to the bourne legacy as composed by james newton howard was released digitally on august 7 , 2012 by var\u00e8se sarabande records .

held video game flynn briefly played in the first film can be seen on the couch in the arcade basement .\nthe word comes a couple of days after tron : legacy and oblivion director joseph kosinski spoke with collider during a q & a following a recent imax screening of legacy . he noted that the long - gestating tron 3 was in \u201ccryogenic freeze , \u201d but that it wasn\u2019t dead , just \u201cjust sitting for the right time to move forward with it . \u201d\n, and that film earned just over $ 30 million in the u . k . along and almost $ 300 million internationally . overall\nout of the equation , then 2011 would have beaten 2010 over the weekend , but even here the margin of victory would have been lower than the ticket price inflation . it is way too early to judge how well 2011 will do compared to 2010 , but so far it is 23 % off of last year ' s pace at $ 281 million to $ 365 million . i expect that gap will grow in terms of raw dollars , but by the time memorial day rolls around , 2011 could start rattling off some wins .\nthe us release of the tron : legacy blu -

dimensional for an audience much beyond immediate responders . when\n2001\nwas in theaters , there were fans who got stoned and sneaked in during the intermission for the sound - and - light trip . i hesitate to suggest that for\ntron : legacy ,\nbut the plot won ' t suffer .\nsome of them rely on the original themes by john williams , and some of them don\u2019t . some of them should rely more , and some of them should rely less . that\u2019s an interesting thing to look at for sequels , but again , our goal was nothing more than creating a great score that matches the film . so the film is the holy grail .\nthe score for legacy in turn captures the world of tron in its current form . it\u2019s evolved , sleek , polished and powerful . it captures the high achievement of society . the two scores create a wonderful pairing where each crystallizes their individual worlds .\ntron : legacy is a fun popcorn flick if you had the opportunity to catch it on the big screen , but with the digital effects downsized on a dvd format what ' s good about the movie doesn ' t emit as much of an effect .\npatton : i mean 27 years . how did you feel when the phone rings and they are like , \u201chey , we\u2019re doing tron legacy . we need tron back . \u201d was your suit in the garage ? did you like go get into it ?\nactor , writer , director wolfgang bodison best known for\nlance cpl . harold w . dawson\nfrom a few good men starring tom cruise , jack nicholson and demi moore . bodison garners the ' storytelling achievement ' award at the laughlin international film festival for the current critically -

\u201d\ntron is still celebrated for its pioneering computer graphics and retro 80s styling , but its plot was fatally impenetrable and forgettable . that formula seems to have been honoured here : visually , tron legacy is sleek , polished and thrillingly state of the art ; storywise , it ' s bonkers .\nthe valdemar legacy is a movie starring daniele liotti , \u00f3scar jaenada , and laia marull . luisa llorente , an expert on taxation of old buildings , had recently gone to the victorian mansion valdemar to conduct an inventory of property ownership . after she mysteriously disappeared . . . see full summary \u00bb\none of the female programs giving sam his armor remarks that ,\nhe is different .\nram says something similar about flynn in the first film . both cases refer to the programs sensing the flynns being users .\njoseph trapanese : i was really lucky , or how should i put it\u2026it was really serendipitous . some people i had worked with on multiple occasions know thomas ( bangalter ) and guy - manuel ( de homem - cristo ) . they were speaking with them about potentially scoring legacy and the challenges that they faced , not the least of which would be scoring a film which they had never done before , and certainly not one of this size or kind , and also working with an orchestra which they had never done before .\nit was a good news , really bad news weekend . let ' s start with the good news . the overall box office for the year reached $ 10 billion for only the second time in history . bad news , the box office this past weekend was so bad that 2010 lost its lead over 2009 . it did rise from last weekend by 8 % to $ 145 million , but that ' s 47 % lower than the same weekend\nduring the prologue , there is a scene showing kevin flynn ' s house where the young sam has wallpapers featuring both tron and the black hole , which are science fiction adventure films released by disney . furthermore , tron : legacy director joseph kosinski has signed on to direct a remake of the black hole .\nsk : what about satisfaction ?

[ 1 ]\nmy main interest in seeing this film was actor idris elba as central character malcolm gray . elba is of course better known to most viewers as stringer bell from the landmark tv series the wire and also to british audiences as troubled cop luther . elba , who also served as executive producer here , occupies the screen for pretty much the whole film and his performance is impressive ( save for a rather inconsistent us accent - perhaps he should have stuck to stringer ' s baltimore drawl ) . the supporting cast ( including elba ' s fellow\u2026\ni\u2019m a fanatic of the original tron ( 1982 ) and every direction legacy was heading communicated to me that this was nothing more than a blatant cash - grab cannibalizing another beloved franchise from my youth . what few positive spikes piquing my interest were completely eroded away when it was announced that daft punk was composing the score . i had nothing against daft punk . i longed recognized them as great musicians , but were they great filmmakers ? film composing has more to do with the art of filmmaking than it does music - making . was this the right choice ? i dismissed their selection as just another paltry scheme pandering to popularity .\nour goal was to do justice to the film . we all had such a fondness for the original tron . we had this great love of what ( director ) steve lisberger was able to achieve . we knew that this film demanded nothing less than faithfulness to that vision , that really bold world he created , and also a faithfulness to a bold , unique idea and a unique approach to the score . that dictated this was going to take a year and a half to two years of work from the dedication of a small team of musicians .\nwas brought on to refine and re cut parts thomas ' edit . richard graham ' s input was invaluable as he somehow managed to shave off 15 minutes of the film but still maintain the integrity of thomas ' edit , which richard respected . it ended up a good partnership .\nhe wouldn\u2019t just check in with the animators , he\u2019d have the animators go down every day , and work on finessing how to draw a deer properly , and every sort of motion . you\u2019d think that\u2019s expensive , but what came from it was a great achievement in film history .\nthe year is now 2010 , where the now - adult sam breaks into the encom tower and steals encom ' s newest operating system os 12 , releasing it online as part of his annual prank on the company . after being chased to the top of the tower by a security guard , sam reveals himself as the major shareholder of encom , who then attempts to freefall off the tower only for his parachute to snag onto a traffic light . as he tries to reach his motorbike on foot , he is arrested and is eventually released a few hours later .\nthe master control program is booted back up in this revamped tron continuation that sees the return of original star jeff bridges as kevin flynn , the brilliant computer programmer whose disappearance leads his son , sam ( garrett hedlund ) , to search for him in and out of the computer world . original director and co - writer steven lisberger produces the new film , which is helmed by commercial director joseph kosinski . james frain , olivia wilde , beau garrett , and michael sheen also star , with bruce boxleitner returning as alan bradley and tron , the heroic protagonist of the original film .\nmade from friday to sunday . this makes it hard to judge its opening . in the meantime , the film added $ 1 . 71 million on 481 screens in the u . k . for a total of $ 20 . 47 million in that country . it will have little trouble overtaking\neven for viewers familiar with the first tron , there ' s a great deal to take on board here . the opening flashback in tron legacy even resorts to jeff bridges using action figures to explain the history to his son . this is as well as a voiceover explanation of\nthe grid\n, the virtual realm into which kevin flynn , bridges ' character , mysteriously disappeared 20 years ago .\njt : yeah . we got really lucky on this one in that everyone was on board . the basic answer is yes . there are always surprises , here and there . there are always things that you never imagine . some of the changes are for the better . some of the changes are not , but what we all bought into was the fact that we were scoring the film . we\u2019re not the end all , be all . we had to achieve our basic goal , which is , you write for the film . so i think the basic answer is yes , in short .\ni ' m giving this more attention than the movie does , which is just as well . isaac asimov would have attempted some kind of scientific speculation on how this might all be possible , but\ntron\nis more action - oriented . ( personal to sci - fi fans : if\n2001 : a space odyssey\nis analog ,\ntron : legacy\nis thrilling wonder stories . )\ntaking refuge in a shabby brooklyn motel after narrowly surviving a failed mission in eastern europe , black ops soldier malcolm gray ( idris elba ) begins to disintegrate mentally as he broods over the legacy of his actions in this taut psychological thriller . haunted by his demons while holed up in his room , malcolm ponders the ascent of his brother ( eamonn walker ) , an ambitious senator with designs on the presidency .\njt : i\u2019ve always been an orchestrator ever since i was young . it\u2019s something that i\u2019ve always been passionate and detail - oriented about . when i brought up the idea ( of me orchestrating daft punk\u2019s music for the film ) , the general thought was , \u201cthat would be great ! \u201d but i\u2019ve never orchestrated a million dollar film . so i suggested we bring in someone who can oversee my work and verify it . i told them that bruce has been my mentor since i came to l . a . there\u2019s no better master of the orchestra than bruce . so lucky for me , that got approved .\nalso at the beginning of the movie , two figurines are seen to be in the middle of a disc battle , foreshadowing sam ' s battle in the disc wars . a model of the 2nd generation light cycle can likewise be seen , foreshadowing later in the film when we see kevin ' s light cycle .\njoe kosinski : yeah , we are going to try something . and this might be crazy , but i thought it was worth giving it a shot . this is the first time this has ever been tried . we actually have technicians from skywalker sound all throughout the audience , and we\u2019re going to do some crowd recording . if you guys do a great job , you are actually going to be in tron legacy in december .\nwe had to push the boundaries creatively , technically , and also story - wise , tell a story that couldn\u2019t be told until today . and i think we\u2019ve done that in a couple of ways . we\u2019ve shot this thing with the camera infusion camera system ; true 3d movie . no conversion here in this film .\nsteven lisberger : no matter how good the technology is the artists , the creative people find a way to spend 105 % of it . so in a strange way , it feels similar to the first film . you get that idea that no matter how good it gets , it\u2019s not going to be good enough .\nsk : take me through the creation of a typical cue . how were the ideas presented to you ? what did you end up doing with those ideas and then how did your input affect the final product ? could you walk me through a day in the life of creating one of the cues for this film ?\nsk : i want to throw this out there . i\u2019ve been hearing a lot of rumors out there about who really scored this film . there are fanboys and industry insiders alike who claim that \u201csome guys at remote control ended up composing this score\u201d and that daft punk \u201cdidn\u2019t have much involvement as everybody was led to believe\u2026\u201d\nsteven lisberger : it proves to me that some things , good things , take a really , really long time to happen . and it\u2019s like the line from the first film : \u201cyou just keep doing what you think is right and you hope it works out in the end . \u201d jeff said that in tron 1 .\nsk : bruce brought up a point with me about how some daft punk fans might have been disappointed with the score because it ended up not being another daft punk album . it was a film score . that\u2019s primarily the reason why i ended up loving it so much . it wasn\u2019t just the next daft punk album .\nadditionally , paz , portrayed by edgar ramirez , is briefly seen shooting and killing simon ross ( portrayed by paddy considine ) at waterloo station , the event which also takes place during the bourne ultimatum . matt damon has a photographic cameo , as his picture as jason bourne is seen at the beginning and end of the film .\noriginally the film was to be written by george nolfi , and would star matt damon , julia stiles , and joan allen . however on november 30 , 2009 , paul greengrass stated he was not interested , and the project was canceled . matt damon said he wouldn ' t return to the bourne franchise unless greengrass directed again .\nwhen you combine orchestra and electronics , there\u2019s a real chance that it\u2019s going to fall flat on its face . it\u2019s not going to be a good orchestra or good electronics . it\u2019s going to be this weird , messy combination of loops , and what not , which really doesn\u2019t do anybody any justice , much less the film .\nthe studio , from day one , was extremely supportive of what we were doing , and yes , you\u2019re completely right ! in this day and age , to have this much time on the film is unbelievable , but luckily we were involved early enough , and had enough people behind us , that it was able to happen .\nsk : i\u2019m one of those minority film music buffs and composers that believe that a sequel needs to be scored in its own unique way . if there\u2019s an opportunity to bring back themes , and is appropriate , then that\u2019s fine , but i think the best sequel scores out there are scores that are their own original entities .\nrose to top spot with $ 19 . 41 million on 3041 screens in 34 markets for a total of $ 72 . 90 million internationally . the film is about to cross $ 100 million domestically , and it looks assured at repeating that feat internationally , which is very impressive for an art house film . it opened in france scoring second place with $ 4 . 58 million on 300 screens , giving it the best per screen average in the market . it also opened in russia earning fourth place with $ 1 . 34 million on 329 screens over the weekend and $ 1 . 73 million in total . over the weekend , it earned twice as much as\nsk : i am a lover of the original tron . i think wendy carlos\u2019 score for tron is one of the great electronic masterpieces of cinema . although i would not categorize the legacy score as having anything to do with the carlos score , there\u2019s a nice parallel between the two . carlos\u2019 score really captured the world of tron in its infancy in 1982 when the grid was new and relatively archaic . there was a lot of chaos and uncertainty .\nthe film dictates all , and as you know , a sequel , if it means original themes from the previous one , then so be it . harry potter is a great example to look at for sequels and music , because some of the sequels are fantastic , musically , and some of them are really quite poor , musically .\nthe christmas break is just ending , but as it is normally the case , international numbers are late . we do have studio estimates for a few films , as well as last week ' s final numbers , which had a surprise change at the top . we ' ll start with this week ' s possible number one film ."]}

.\nhagar cohen : in four months , all of the staff in mariette ' s office will lose their jobs . mariette is likely to become part - time . the centre ' s manager , tracey willow , whose job may also go , says it ' s possible that broken hill will lose all of its community lawyers .\nthe film received extensive cooperation from the department of defense , especially the u . s . navy and the u . s . marine corps . one of many problems encountered during production was that at the time of the filming ( late 1963 - 1964 ) , very few ships in active navy service resembled their world war ii configuration . only one world war ii vintage heavy cruiser ; the u . s . s . st . paul ( ca - 73 ) still retained most of her wartime configuration ( and as a result she stood in for a couple of unnamed cruisers during the movie ) , and an accompanying destroyer , u . s . s . philip ( dd - 498 ) , that took on the role of u . s . s . cassidy were extensively filmed on . other u . s . navy ships that participated included the cruiser u . s . s . boston ( ca - 69 ) ( though only the forward 2 / 3 ' s of the ship could be shown as she had missiles aft ) , destroyers u . s . s . braine ( dd - 630 ) , u . s . s . o ' bannon ( dd - 450 ) , u . s . s . renshaw ( dd - 499 ) , u . s . s . walker ( dd - 517 ) , submarine u . s . s . capitaine ( ss - 336 ) and the attack transport u . s . s . renville ( apa - 227 ) . all of the destroyers had to have their modern ( 1960s ) asw gear covered over with fake gun - mounts or deck houses . additional smaller vessels were provided in support , as well as an hu - 16 albatross amphibious aircraft , even though said aircraft did not enter the u . s . inventory until 1949 . the hu - 16 likely substitutes for a pby catalina , of which no flyable examples were likely available for the film schedule .\nin dan abnett ' s novel malleus , the rogue trader maxilla works for eisenhorn not for the money but for the challenge .\nin andre norton ' s

eight - episode season focused on a historic crisis in a different location .\nthe u . s . s . philip ( dd - 498 ) was the destroyer that steams out of pearl harbor at the beginning of the attack . philip was decommissioned september 30 , 1968 , and was struck from the navy list october 1 , 1968 . she was sold december 15 , 1971 , but sank in a storm on her way to be scrapped february 2 , 1972

share , sometimes with great emotion , their first - hand stories about the carnage of war , the war ' s impact on their lives and beliefs , and their enduring bonds of brotherhood .\nrebecca : i ' m just scared of him . i ' m that scared of him , i ' m shaking now because he ' s just a psycho . he is so unpredictable , and now he ' s addicted to ice as well . well , he probably was the whole time we were together and that ' s why he is the way he is , i don ' t know . god , i ' m actually thinking maybe i should just go home and just forget about it , i really don ' t want to go in there when he ' s in there .\nupon approaching this film , it would be easy for someone to misidentify its basic message . this is not a film that champions war , the military , or patriotism . it clearly involves these components , but it is not about these elements . this is a film about the inevitability of aging , the chronic and acute challenges that come with it , and the way we get by . despite the age and generational differences that separate the greeters from the soldiers , they share much in common . both populations are \u201cin harm ' s way , \u201d walking parallel paths that involve elevated personal risks that can suddenly alter quality of life and end life itself . indeed , a large component of this film deals with older and younger individuals recognizing and confronting increased probability of personal death . it is an obvious issue for soldiers , of course , given their mission . the beauty of this film is the way it allows death as a fact to emerge within each of the greeters , who daily confront it in their memories , their failing bodies , and loss of intimate social support .\nin those that wake , mal isn ' t happy unless he ' s fighting something , and sees not fighting as a failure .\nour host , bob woodruff \u2013 thanks for saying that . bob , it means a lot to us . he\u2019s an excellent reporter of course , and he\u2019s right , the last time he interviewed me , we were a long way from midtown manhattan \u2013 almost as far as you can get , in fact \u2013 on the aircraft carrier the u . s . s . theodore roosevelt in the south china sea . and that kind of trip is the proof that bob woodward will go the extra mile , or thousands of miles , in fact , to write a good story and explain about what we do , and the importance of what we do , to our world . that\u2019s not a surprise to any of \u2013 any of us \u2013 i think , who are here in this room . he goes where the story is , and he\u2019s committed to getting to get it right .\nkim hubbard : yes , but it ' s still not your fault that he abused you . okay ? it ' s never your fault . never ever , ever think that in this situation , okay ?\none of the patrol boats in jere ' s squadron is number 42 . this is the same number as the boat commanded by [ link : nm0599910 ] in [ link : tt0038160 ] . in that film , john wayne played the second in command of the squadron . the words of that title were spoken by captain torrey in the scene where speaks with admiral kimmel .\nthe fictional ship in the movie is a composite of several world war ii cruisers . 1 . the u . s . s . salt lake city was known as the\nswayback maru\n. the ship in the movie , and in the novel , was based on a ship known as\nold swayback\n. 2 . the u . s . s . san francisco was the flagship of a squadron of ships in the famous naval battle of november 12 , 1942 , in the solomon islands area . the fictional ship in the movie was also the flagship of a squadron of ships in an important naval battle . 3 . the two ships mentioned above survived world war ii . the fictional ship in the movie was sunk , so it could also be based on any u . s . navy cruiser that was sunk during the solomon islands campaign .\nset in hawaii on the eve of the attack on pearl harbor ( december 6 , 1941 ) and culminating in a decisive naval battle between the u . s . navy and the japanese fleet ,\noften invoked with modern era companions , who will often not think twice about taking a bullet for the doctor if needs be ( especially companions depicted as having fallen in love with the doctor ) . reaches its apex with clara oswald , who openly admits to being addicted to the adventure ( with clara using the actual word\naddiction\nin this context ) , and throws herself into harm ' s way so often , it becomes a constant source of worry for the doctor , who tries without success to get her to slow down . however , clara continues moving towards becoming the doctor ' s distaff counterpart , including an insatiable thirst for adventure . . . and it doesn ' t end well for her .\nthroughout the film the characters are often seen riding in m151 jeeps ( horizontal grill slits ) which were not in production until the vietnam era . odd because they did have a few correct era willy ' s jeeps on the set , usually seen in the background\nditto abdullah the butcher . still jabbing forks in

consequences . ) that being said , almost every one of them were tempted to stay at times .\nwhen eddington and dorne are standing on the beach at the picnic , they are supposed to be on the fictional island of gavabutu . however , the rock formation known locally as chinaman ' s hat , is clearly seen in the background . chinaman ' s hat is located in kaneohe bay , offshore of kualoa regional beach park in hawaii .\nsome heroes who make a fortune and promptly lose it foolishly may fall under this trope , because it means that they can return to the fun of making money , and the non - idle rich may trample familial objections to stick to a dangerous occupation when they don ' t need the money , to avoid rich boredom . and sometimes the love of being in harm ' s way is merely implied , when the hero never seems to find anything worth stopping for . the dulcinea effect may not be so much by desire to help as the chance to get into the thick of things .\ni got hooked on the first book in this series , bought the second ( muddled through the first half of that one - end worth it ) , but this one was great ! suspense , romance , twists and new developments the whole way through . highly recommend ! !\neach of our servicemembers and dod civilians makes me incredibly proud . there are almost 3 million of them serving across this country and around the clock , in every time zone on

the weather is sunny and clear ( as it was dec . 7 ,\nat the end of filming , the executive officer of the u . s . s . st . paul ( ca - 73 ) , commander charles r . little , received orders for his promotion from commander to captain . john wayne pinned the captain ' s eagles he wore during the film on the executive officer to promote him to captain in the u . s . navy .\nshe\u2019s shaking visibly and sobbing , and is on the point of backing out .\n' that\u2019s what i mean , \u2019 says hubbard . \u2018that by itself is grounds for an intervention order . what\u2019s more concerning to me is the history of physical violence , because if he\u2019s done it before , he\u2019ll do it again . \u2019\nhagar cohen : it ' s a very emotional topic , i can see .\nphillip sutcliffe : it ' s

the remaining 900 sailors went into the sea . undetected for five days , they struggled to stay alive , fighting off sharks , hypothermia and madness . by the time rescue arrived , only 317 men were left alive . interweaving the stories of some of these survivors ( including the ship ' s captain butler mcvay , who would be unjustly court - martialled for the loss of his ship and , twenty years later and tormented by the experience , take his own life ) , doug stanton brings this incredible human drama to life in a narrative that is at once immediate and timeless . the definitive account of a near - forgotten chapter in the history of the last war , in harm ' s way has become a classic . and , some 72 years later , in august 2017 , the uss indianapolis was once again making international headlines - with the news that a marine archaeology team had located the ship ' s shattered remains : urltoken\nkorra references the time jinora created an astral projection to help her find raava during harmonic convergence in\nlight in the dark\n.\nalthough there can never be enough focus on safety nor enough time or space to cover it all in this article , let\u2019s switch gears and move on to the types of equipment typically used in newspapers and their applications .\nlouise richards : most definitely . i ' d like to think that that doesn ' t happen . and if anything like that was to happen , that i would like to know about it so that we can rectify that . in that situation , if that ' s the way that the female felt , then i would strongly urge her to ring a different police station .\nrobert e howard ' s conan the barbarian , and kull , and solomon kane .\nwell , it later turns out that ' s only partly the reason . . .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nkim hubbard : yeah , it ' s hard . i hate the heat , so\u2026\nhagar cohen : rebecca is here alone , and she ' s trembling with fear .\nleonie ' s life is controlled by her uppity aunt . when her suitor ' s dark secret is exposed , will jem help her find the path to true love ?\nhagar cohen : things are about to change in broken hill . the federal government ' s cuts to legal services will cancel most of the funding for mariette ' s practice by july 1st . that means she won ' t be able to take on cases like georgia ' s , and that reduces this solicitor to tears .\nin john c wright ' s fugitives of chaos , when victor professes his desire for a home , wife , and children , amelia says that most men want adventure ;

the official movie novelization is a novel tie - in relating to the paul w . s anderson series of live - action films , written by john shirley . as its title suggests , it is the official novelization of resident evil : retribution , the fifth film in the series . the novel was released on september 18 , 2012 .

native species defines the modern columbia basin ecosystem . where anadromous species have been eliminated by barrier dams , mitigation has been in the form of replacement resident fisheries , and sometimes those fisheries include exotic species . moreover , resident fish hatchery programs often will not be complementary with the ecosystem management perspective adopted for anadromous hatchery production . nor can mitigation in these cases necessarily imply that hatchery production will be temporary until natural production can sustain the population . in some cases resident fish populations have been established where none existed before and will be entirely dependent on artificial production . thus , in some cases the concept of using supplementation hatcheries to rebuild naturally reproducing populations does not necessarily apply to resident fish .\nnew resident chad brooks attended the reception . the brooks moved from the coffee bluff area of savannah . brooks originally is from texas and his wife , anne , is from virginia , but they have lived in savannah for 10 years .\nour explant model indicated that local presentation of antigen to resident allergen -

percent loss ( 45 percent remaining ; page 353 ) . of the original salmon and steelhead habitat available in the basin , 55 percent of the watershed area and 31 percent of stream miles are now inaccessible to anadromous salmon , having been blocked by dam construction ( nrc 1996 , pg . 63 ) . furthermore , much of this inaccessible habitat was irreplaceable natural spawning habitat , located mainly in headwater regions of the basin . thus , successful artificial production of resident fish is a necessary and crucial component to fully mitigate anadromous fish losses in these blocked areas . in addition , many native resident fish species are currently federally listed as threatened or endangered under the u . s . endangered species act , based on their imperiled biological status . as with anadromous salmonids , numerous at - risk resident fish populations ( e . g . bull trout , white sturgeon , and various resident salmonids ) are also the focus of recovery measures .\nresident evil fans should dig it , and credit goes to waggoner for injecting it with some personality , instead of cranking out a quick tie -

a macabre dance choreographed by its romance ' s throbbing heart . mathilde and manech ' s love left its mark in many places , so why not the grungiest and war - torn ?\nan engaging and emotional film , which sweeps you into the world of its characters , and has striking cinematography . in fact the visuals are the best thing about the film . it ' s a visual powerhouse of a film , mixing gritty visual conventions of the war genre with scenes of a more romantic visual style , both are done brilliantly . the story and characters are both interesting , and injected with a healthy amount of wit and humour . the writer has managed to perfectly blend various genres , devoting enough viewing time to each . the acting is a mixture of some performance which are almost cartoonishly ridiculous , and some which create deep 3d characters . this film is a brilliant blend of sad realism and enchanting fantasy . it creates its own world and characters , while at the same time reflecting ours . a bittersweet ending just adds to this theme . is it worth watching ? yes it is . you ' re guaranteed an adventure of mixed emotions , and the challenge that the main character faces will keep you engaged and stop you from getting bored .\nparamount pictures and bad robot have today officially revealed the full overlord cast . the film , from director julius avery ( son of a gun ) , is based on an original idea by the hunger games screenwriter billy ray and bad robot\u2019s own j . j . abrams .\nfinding their faith shaken , however , is a nearly universal concern : \u201cif it happened , that means he wanted it , \u201d one nun wonders aloud to mathilde . \u201cwhat does he want me to do with it ? \u201d \u201cthe innocents\u201d is the rare film that examines the nature of religious belief in a non - judgmental way ; actually , it\u2019s more about strong , brave women protecting each other and doing what they must to survive . the starkness of the setting and the spare , fluid camerawork from cinematographer caroline champetier make the drama of their decisions pop that much more in ways that are both shocking and enlightening .\nand that\u2019s essentially it . what these people are like , how they pass the time , how they really feel about each other , what they talk about , where they live , and how they relate to the progress of modern history that is presumably occurring outside their mansion are details of little importance to this film . at one point , almost teasingly , tran begins to sketch a curious sort of relationship between gabrielle and mathilde , who are freely physically affectionate with one another , and visit every single evening . but then a solemn voiceover informs us , \u201cno one knows what they talked about . and they\u2019re all dead now . \u201d\nwhen colonel pretis of the u . n . falls in love with mathilde , a local girl , during the balkans war , he lets his passion overcome his sense of duty and responsibility in a country torn by civil war . but his emotions and the beautiful croatian seaside blur the tragedies of war . . . until they all catch up with him in the most fatal manner .\nstruensee rises to a position of almost dictatorial power at court . the film is right that many of the reforms he enacted were remarkably progressive . these included a decree that aristocrats , who had previously been allowed to build up enormous debts without legal penalty , would henceforth be imprisoned for failing to pay back what they owed . ninety per cent of them immediately scurried off into hiding . viewers may find themselves feeling that modern europe could do with a few struensees to take on its bankers . unsurprisingly , the ultra - conservative faction at court has it in for him . the film ' s depiction of what happens next is sadly accurate .\npreviously - announced overlord cast members jovan adepo ( the leftovers ) and wyatt russell ( everybody wants some ! ! ) are being joined by jacob anderson ( game of thrones ) , dominic applewhite ( the king\u2019s speech ) , pilou asbaek ( game of thrones ) , iain de caestecker ( marvel\u2019s agents of shield ) , john magaro ( the big short ) , mathilde ollivier ( the misfortunes of francois jane ) and bokeem woodbine ( fargo ) .\naudrey tautou shines in a powerful , sepia - toned love story about a woman on a multi - year quest to find her fianc\u00e9 in the ashes of the first world war . though plodding by times , this is a film with a wonderful aesthetic , lots of greens and golds , much like jeunet ' s other famous work , am\u00e9lie . shot for shot , it ' s as beautiful as anything , and you see the story unfold from teller to teller effectively through the eyes of the heroine . a very solid movie . , , and if you think it ' s a chick flick , surprise ! marion cotillard and jodie foster turn up , if the war scenes weren ' t enough for you . . . dudes . . . see this film .\ndirector nina mimica photography phedon papamichael editing raimondo aiello jeremy irons , miki manolojvic , sinead cusack , nutsa kukhianidze when colonel pretis of the u . n . falls in love with mathilde , a local girl , during the balkans war , he lets his passion overcome his sense of duty and responsibility in a country torn by civil war . but his emotions and the beautiful croatian seaside blur the tragedies of war . . . until they all catch up with him in the most fatal manner .\nof course , none of this is accidental . and as the film goes on , one begins to grasp the simple yet ineluctably profound message that the director is sending : birth is always a miracle , no matter how many times we witness it ; death is always sudden and often meaningless , no matter how many times it touches our lives ; and adding our own tiny entry to the succession of generations may be our only lasting mark on history . perhaps there are few truths more profound than this , and the obvious affection with which tran lingers on footage of infants swaddled in their mothers\u2019 arms can\u2019t help but be affecting in itself . but without any such attention paid to the eventful span in between these two extremes , the gossamer beauty of life that the film clearly wants us to ponder too often goes missing .\none of the more daring sisters dashes into town to fetch a doctor , trekking through forest trails and war - torn streets , and the dusting of snow that accumulates on the hem of her habit leaves a vivid impression of cold and isolation . the no - nonsense mathilde beaulieu of the french red cross ( de la\u00e2ge ) initially is reluctant to leave her busy post to help . but once she arrives at the convent , she\u2019s shocked to discover that at least a half - dozen young nuns also are in advanced stages of pregnancy .\nfontaine explores this fraught situation from every angle and with great humanity . mathilde , for starters , is a stoic non - believer . she is all business\u2014the voice of reason in a place of sacred mystery . and while she initially accepts the sisters\u2019 blessings and prayers politely , she eventually opens herself up to the powerful role faith plays in their lives . when de la\u00e2ge smiles or cries even slightly , it\u2019s a revelation , and the vaguely romantic relationship that develops between her and a smart , self - deprecating fellow physician ( a heartbreaking vincent macaigne ) allows her a few stolen moments of much - needed joy .\nas the reverend mother ( kulesza ) and her right - hand woman maria ( buzek ) matter - of - factly explain it , soviet soldiers invaded the convent and repeatedly raped the women as the war was ending . they can hide their bulging bellies under their robes , but only for so long . reverend mother views these pregnancies as a source of great shame and seems far less concerned about the psychological trauma these women must be experiencing . as she grudgingly agrees to let mathilde assist with the deliveries and after care , she insists the births must remain a secret , and promises to arrange adoptive homes for all the newborns immediately .\nalone among assassins , jack is a master craftsman . when a job in sweden ends more harshly than expected for this american abroad , he vows to his contact pavel that his next assignment will be his last . jack reports to the italian countryside , where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell . the assignment , as specified by a belgian woman , mathilde , is in the offing as a weapon is constructed . surprising himself , jack seeks out the friendship of local priest father benedetto and pursues romance with local woman clara . but by stepping out of the shadows , jack may be tempting fate .\nthe cool , observational style that has marked much of fontaine\u2019s work , including the lush biopic \u201c coco before chanel \u201d and the deliciously tawdry \u201c adore , \u201d serves her well here . working from a sensitive script by sabrina b . karine and alice vial , fontaine lets the inherent horror of the film\u2019s situation speak for itself , which makes it that much more startling . and she draws finely nuanced performances from her ensemble cast , especially stars lou de la\u00e2ge , agata buzek and the great agata kulesza ( \u201c ida \u201d ) .\nyoung caroline matilda ( alicia vikander ) meets her betrothed ( mikkel f\u00f8lsgaard ) at a crossroads , where he is relieving himself against a tree . according to historian p nors , their real first meeting was\nexceedingly romantic\n, to the point where 17 - year - old christian\ncommitted a number of awful breaches of etiquette by embracing and kissing her repeatedly in the presence of the whole court\n. the film is right , though , that he soon tired of her . christian had suffered a brutally abusive upbringing at the hands of his guardian , ditlev reventlow : regular beatings had often left him writhing on the palace floor in agony .\nhe ' s been difficult since childhood ,\nthe film ' s reventlow explains ,\nbut i think most of his problems stem from excessive masturbation .\nthe king ' s excesses also included drink , sado - masochism , handsome young men and prostitutes , most famously st\u00f8vlet - cathrine , or catherine - of - the - boots . the danish court considered it appallingly bourgeois to be in love with one ' s spouse .\nin the film , struensee and caroline matilda bond over a shared passion for enlightenment ideas . though struensee was a free - thinker , there ' s scant evidence of intellectualism in caroline matilda ' s biographies . furthermore , in trying to present struensee ' s relationship with caroline matilda as a pure , charming romance , a royal affair delicately leaves out court gossip that he was also having an affair with her lady -

hander \u201cthe indian wants the bronx\u201d is , i suspect , still a staple for acting workshops and small theater companies to this day ) , the writing\u2019s no problem . and because the cast is topped by kevin kline , maggie smith , and kristen scott - thomas , the acting is no problem . and because the movie is set in paris , specifically the extremely - suffused - with - conventional - gallic - charm marais section of the city , the views are no problem .\n\u201che not busy being born is busy dying . \u201d bob dylan\u2019s oft -

listed as extant at british film institute . both are directed by maurice costello and star clara kimball young . however hindoo\u2019s charm is listed in fiaf as being a lubin film , though it seems

of before the great war . ever and anon , a scene is run showing the horrors of a pilgrimage to the barren wastes of siberia . it gives the sense of contrast that adds aa pleasure to the scenes of luxury in and about the court . there are many moments of suspense . several times it looks as if the pretty nihilist and the american would be caught in the toils , but they escape . a thriller comes with the entrance of the czar when all the court does obeisance . a fitting climax is the escape of the young noble with the nihilist . quite dramatic is her expression of hatred for him as one of the

feminine that she contains within herself all the wondrous resources of deceit , all the vacillation and mystery of her sex . though she lures and drives men at will , she is not repellently attractive , because there seems to be hovering ever near and about her a sincerity and intensity of true passion . in pursuit of a definite purpose , helene holds herself superior to any minor obligations of conscience . she uses every feminine weapon of artifice and cunning , yet she is pure and an exalted champion of human rights . in portraying this complicated and deeply interesting

day to answer the charges of senator smith w . brookhart jr . , ( rep . ) iowa , that the industry went goggle - eyed last year over gangster pictures and was headed this year toward a run of productions dealing with indecorous women .\n( 1926 ) , his last film . by the year of his death , valentino , the movies ' first\nlatin lover\nand premier sex symbol , had become the idol of millions . valentino ' s screen personality and his early death , both surrounded by mystery , made him a cult figure .\nshe carries through a ruse whereby lenox permits her to cross the russian frontier as his wife . her charm begins to work upon his susceptible nature . the pair are continually brought into contact with personages and officials dangerous to helene marie . finally , at the hotel in st . petersburg she reveals her identity to lenox and dares him to betray her secret . she charms the rich aristocratic weletskys and sacha weletsky falls in love with her .\nvalentino ' s next four projects were not big box office successes . though valentino ' s wife , rambova , helped him get an increase in salary ( to $ 7500 per week ) as well as some creative input on his films , many believed that she ruined his career by picking noncommercial projects . as silent film expert koszarski wrote in the new york times ,\nnatacha rambova was the most hated woman in silent pictures . she married rudolph valentino , took him away from his handlers , and put ideas in his head . in her hands , valentino ' s image as america ' s first male sex symbol underwent a crucial makeover , and the sultry star of the sheik emerged as the powdered , bewigged and highly esthetic monsieur beauclaire .\nin 1936 , chaplin married again , this time to a chorus girl who went by the film name of paulette goddard . they lasted until 1942 . that was followed by a nasty paternity suit with another actress , joan barry , in which tests proved chaplin was not the father of her daughter , but a jury still ordered him to pay child support .\nby a curious quirk of fate , valentino ' s most entertaining film , son of the sheik was also his last . had he survived into sound he would certainly not have attained legend status ; through his death he became immortal . as one of his leading ladies , alice terry , aptly remarked ,\nthe biggest thing valentino ever did was to die .\nthe adventures of colonel lenox , in company with a fascinating woman who is keeping up the outward appearance of being his wife , while controlling his vacillating moods in private , and his growing inclination to\ntake the goods that the gods provide ,\nform the most interesting part of the story , but the serious purpose of helene is strongly developed through a series of beautiful scenes , culminating in one of the grandest ensembles ever shown on the screen - - a court ball in the presence of the czar and czarina .\nchaplin spoke even louder in the great dictator ( 1940 ) , which pointedly ridiculed the governments of hitler and mussolini .\ni want to see the return of decency and kindness ,\nchaplin said around the time of the film & apos ; s release .\ni & apos ; m just a human being who wants to see this country a real democracy . . .\nthe marriage of marguerite lenox to a wealthy russian , and her subsequent widowhood , occasions a trip to russia by her father , arthur bainbridge lenox . he is a handsome man in the early forties . the noble weletsky family , into whom his daughter has married , have never seen either lenox or his wife , but desire lenox ' s co - operation in the settlement of his daughter ' s estates . the summons comes while they are in paris . a passport for two , man and wife , is secured , but mrs . lenox is of delicate health and decides to let her husband take the journey alone . the nihilist ,\nhelen marie ,\nis also preparing a trip to russia . of unknown identity , her activities are yet notorious , and the police of russia are warned . knowledge of the passport is brought to her by a young nihilist girl employed in mrs . lenox ' s services . helene marie has a just cause against the russian aristocracy . when hardly more than a child , she saw her family butchered in cold blood . she carries through a ruse whereby lenox . . .\nat some point , selznick and zukor extended an offer to clara kimball young : they would forgive her debts and pay her handsomely if she got rid of garson . she refused ( davis 422 ) . financial matters became increasingly grim . in november of 1920 , the same month that the c . k . y . film corporation demanded $ 50 , 000 , the harriman national bank sued young to recover $ 24 , 500 on a loan two years overdue ( \u201charriman national bank sues\u201d 374 ) . the next month selznick won his suit . a judge determined that young and garson kept all the profits of their post - c . k . y . film corporation releases and did not send selznick $ 25 , 000 per picture per their agreement ( \u201cselznick wins in suit\u201d 707 ) . garson\u2019s last production credit with clara kimball young was\nas to the story , it is one of intrigue , nihilists , secret police and people of high and low degree . briefly it recounts the adventures of a middle aged , but distinguished looking american , who is lured by a siren - like nihilist to spirit her into russia as his wife . many complications occur , and the end comes with a bang - - literally . a yacht is blown up by a torpedo and the beautiful russian nihilist and her lover are seen at the last with the smile of their late romance frozen on their faces as they drift with the tide .\nafter valentino ' s death , a cult of personality formed around him . scholars question whether he could have sustained a career in film during the sound era because of his acting style and thick accent . what he did accomplish sustained a legend for many years . legend has it that a mysterious\nlady in black\nplace flowers on his crypt each year on the anniversary of his death . his diaries were twice published :\nmore acclaim came with modern times ( 1936 ) , a biting commentary about the state of the world & apos ; s economic and political infrastructures . the film , which did incorporate sound , was , in part , the result of an 18 - month world tour chaplin had taken between 1931 and 1932 , a trip during which he & apos ; d witnessed severe economic angst and a sharp rise in nationalism in europe and elsewhere .\nover the next year , chaplin appeared in 35 movies , a lineup that included tillie & apos ; s punctured romance , film & apos ; s first full - length comedy . in 1915 chaplin left sennett to join the essanay company , which agreed to pay him $ 1 , 250 a week . it is with essanay that chaplin , who by this time had hired his brother sydney to be his business manager , rose to stardom .\nin the early morning hours of december 25 , 1977 , charlie chaplin died at his home in corsier - sur - vevey , vaud , switzerland . his wife , oona , and seven of his children were at his bedside at the time of his passing . in a twist that might very well have come out of one of his films , chaplin & apos ; s body was stolen not long after he was buried from his grave near lake geneva in switzerland by two men who demanded $ 400 , 000 for its return . the men were arrested and chaplin & apos ; s body was recovered 11 weeks later .\nthe reason for his success was simple : valentino appealed to women by being one of the first sexually passionate film stars . as silent film expert richard koszarski wrote in the new york times ,\nhere was an openly sexual icon designed to feed the most hidden fantasies of the cinema ' s largely female audience . traditional values of home and family seemed wildly inappropriate when valentino held the screen . instead , his films offered hints of violent sexuality and miscegenation meant to tantalize viewers .\nperhaps because his stardom was based on his sex appeal , many believed he had little to no acting ability . caryn james of the new york times wrote ,\nwhen he wasn ' t dancing or dueling , he acted by posing in elaborate costumes and popping open his eyes to show emotion . love , hate , surprise , any emotion at all . even considering that exaggerated gestures were standard in silent films , valentino lacked subtlety .\nfeatured an extensive interview with young in which she does not mention the name of her new company , nor does she detail her precise responsibilities , but relates her personal vision regarding acting styles , exteriors , interiors , story development , and continuity , implying that she would have control over such decisions ( 461 ) . in mid - august , the name of a new company was revealed : the c . k . y . film corporation . this was a distribution company created by adolph zukor , who agreed to buy , distribute , and market eight films from young annually for four years . now it was revealed that \u201cmiss young heads her own organization and dominates it completely , selecting her own stories and plays , her own directors , and her own supporting company\u201d ( \u201cc . k . y . film corporation formed\u201d 918 ) . from 1917 to 1919 , when young appeared to exercise the most creative control , and is listed as \u201cproducer\u201d by the afi catalog , she appeared in some of the best films of her career :"]}

makers in 80 ' s - they could do and allowed to say everything they wanted . i ' m not american and the modern comedies for teens i watch now forced me to believe that as a genre comedy is dead in us . that ' s why i advise you to watch this movie , old but full of jokes about sex , crazy parties and true love , that means keeping promises .\nvegaspartyvip treats client contact information with the utmost of security in mind . we will never sell your contact information to a third party . however , we do need a valid email address in order to send you the quote that you requested and a valid phone number ( preferably your mobile number ) so we can call or text you to ask questions that help us put together the best deal for you . it is our goal to create the perfect vip experience for you and your group .\nat the las vegas motor speedway , home of several nascar races each year , you can spend the day behind the wheel of vehicles straight out of a hollywood action flick : ferraris , lamborghinis , mclarens and porsches , all gassed up and ready to go . book a session with dream racing , who will put you in a simulator before you saddle up and buckle your safety belt . then hit the track and hold on tight . with an instructor riding shotgun , you\u2019ll satisfy your adrenaline addiction but never feel out of control .\nmy review -

movement at summer camp .\nactually i think it was yesterday or something but idgf . kool keith\u2019s solo debut , underground classic . it\ni do not want bvs to fail . as a lifelong comicbook fan of the big two companies , the more superhero goodness i can get the better . this is the golden age of being a superhero fan and i don ' t want to spend this time being bitter or unhappy about it . i honestly thought after batman and robin with clooney we ' d never see another superhero film . i ' m glad i was wrong .\nas much as i don ' t give two shits about rt scores . i ' d be lying if i said the low mos rt score didn ' t make me sad . i loved the film personally , but when i hear other people ( a lot ) say that the movie sucked , it just brings me down .\nthe thing about being gay is that it doesn ' t necessarily mean that you ' re a strong person . there are plenty of people who can ' t deal in life and who happen to be gay also , so it seems like just another reason to be unhappy . in the film , megan [ natasha lyonne ] starts off as a cheerleader , that icon of american femininity , and at the end of the film , which establishes the dichotomy ,\nnormal\nand\nperverted .\nand at the end , it comes together ,\npervert\nand\ncheerleader .\nso the title has two points : at the beginning , it ' s\nbut i ' m a cheerleader , i ' m not gay ,\nand in the end , it ' s\nbut i ' m a cheerleader and i am gay .\nthat ' s why she does the cheerleading at the end , because i wanted her to be gay but still be who she was , and not get on a harley and ride off . brian kept telling me we needed to earmark her change somehow , but i wanted her to keep her identity as a cheerleader . i that way , the film challenges the stereotypes even within the community . just last month , we had a review in the san francisco chronicle , which gave a synopsis of the film , because it was the closing night film for the san francisco gay and lesbian film festival . but the reviewer said that it was\nthe story about a girl who ' s straight , who goes to rehab and becomes gay\n!\n\u201ci had zero nudity and i got an nc - 17 . it was just a more conservative , ridiculous time . \u201d\nyanbu , i detest this song . i can ' t understand why it ' s so popular .\nhad some continuity problems , and a pretty lame ending , but decent overall .\nthe most interesting revelation came when babbitt was questioned about her desires to turn cheerleader into a broadway spectacle . she replied :\nas i said , i had a number of concerns about this movie . i mentioned that the critical consensus was a concern for me , but most of all it was the premise . while i think it ' s interesting , i wondered how on earth someone could make a comedy about such a serious matter . conversion camps are a very real threat to gay teenagers out there , but thankfully , the writers managed to satirise the beliefs of anti - gay religious leaders pretty well .\nbefore hanging up to board her flight to new york , lyonne recalled one particularly positive and touching memory about \u201cbut i ' m a cheerleader\u201d that proved just how important the film was in its time . \u201ci remember clea and i went to sundance together and a lot of the mormon girls were coming up to us ,\nlyonne said .\nclea and i would be crying because it was so moving that they had come out because of that movie . they had never seen anything like it . \u201d\nin conclusion life after death didnt truly need to be a double album . there\u2019s some misses here and there but i\u2019d still recommend it . if you need a rating then uh , uh okay i got chu\nbut i ' m a cheerleader may seem too elementary to a sophisticated crowd . the stereotypes are often absurd to anyone with a consciousness , and frightingly may seem real to the uninformed . but in truth the film does no harm and in a humorous way pokes fun at how hung up we are about being gay . it runs into a few problems as well for portraying ' true directions ' as a place where sex roles create homosexuality and that by simply reversing them everything comes out allright in the wash .\nthanks ! it ' s sex and the city . . . and to be honest i have no idea where i found it . . . i think i just searched satc or sarah jessica avatars or something !\nvery clever and very funny . i don ' t know why i had this listed as\nnot inteested .\ni ' ve seen it twice already !\nthere is a difference between ,\nwell , i ' m more of a marvel fan , so i probably won ' t enjoy bvs\nand\nthis movie sucks , its going to suck , even though its not even out yet .\nhate it , turn it off as soon as it comes on , calling your girlfriend a cheerleader is ridiculous , hate it .\nshe said :\nthe fact that ' hocus pocus ' found a niche in that world where it cannot be extricated from the holiday itself to me is really amazing . i\u2019m really surprised , but humbled and happy to be a part of something like that . i had the best time on that film \u2014 maybe more than any other movie i worked on .\n' but i ' m a cheerleader ' is a story about a teenage girl called megan , who is a popular blonde , feminine pretty girl , who ( as you would have guessed by the title ) is also a cheerleader . when she begins exhibiting strange behaviour ( i . e . , checking out other women , going vegetarian , listening to melissa etheridge ) , her parents begin to notice and when they do so , they send her to a gay conversion camp . it ' s in the camp that she realises who she truly is , and under the influence of a tough girl named graham , she learns to accept herself .\ni recommend option 2 or 3 . you can attempt option 1 if you want , but i think it ' s the most difficult of the three to write well .\nin but i ' m a cheerleader , megan ( natasha lyonne ) is an innocent . as she says ,\ni ' m not perverted ! i go to church , i get good grades . . . i ' m a cheerleader !\nbut her parents and friends suspect she has an\nunnatural\nattraction toward other girls . their proof ? she ' s vegetarian , she listens to melissa etheridge , she has pictures of girls in her locker , and she hates kissing her boyfriend . they whisk her off to true directions , a campy version of real - life ex - gay ministries , to straighten her out . surrounded by fey boys and some tough girls , megan realizes she ' s attracted to girls and starts a relationship with one of the girls ( clea duvall ) . meanwhile , true directions instructors mike ( de - dragged rupaul ) and mary ( cathy moriarty ) , try to bring them back into the heterosexual fold with instruction on proper gender roles and talk therapy .\nstrong > while altringer and lindsey hunt down the board members , dick interviews filmmakers whose films have been given an unwanted nc - 17 ( the kiss of death for films seeking u . s . distribution ) or r rating , including kimberly peirce ( boys don ' t cry ) and jamie babbit ( but i ' m a cheerleader ) .\ni spoke on the phone with heath , a manager at the krispy kreme location who about knew the incident i was describing . he was , however , slightly surprised that i knew of the video . \u201cactually , that video was supposed to have been removed from the web , \u201d he told me , \u201cso i\u2019m surprised it\u2019s still out there\nnearly everyone who worked on the film joined on with their very own cheerleader prejudice in need of unpacking .\ni didn ' t have a video to submit for film school , so i wrote and directed something . my friends acted in it , and a friend with a camera filmed and edited it . it doesn\u2019t look like a feature film , but it tells a cute , unique story .\nso um\u2026 i noticed the other thread had 2k + posts so i thought now would be a suitable time to um . . create\nthat ' s a great idea , but i hope they are able to use some of the original music from the movie . it had such a great soundtrack !\nno disrespect intended , but i just don ' t like zack snyder ' s style of film - making . his films are often pretty to look at , but totally hollow .\nbased on the 1999 lionsgate cult motion picture , but i ' m a cheerleader : the musical is the story of megan , an all - american high school cheerleader who seems to have it all . but that ' s all about to change ! her friends and family suspect megan is a lesbian , and after staging an intervention , send her packing to the \u2018true directions ' rehabilitation camp to put her on the straight and narrow . it is billed as\na quirky coming - of - age comedy about sexual awakening and staying true to who you are\n.\nshe was like my l . a . friend ,\nlyonne recalled .\ni was in her car and there was a script just sitting on her passenger - seat floor . i was like , ' what ' s this movie ? can i be in it ? '\nas it turned out , it was the script for\nbut i ' m a cheerleader .\nduvall was already cast to play graham , a disillusioned lesbian with disapproving parents . duvall made a quick call to her good friend babbit and the next thing you know lyonne was set to play megan , a cheerleader and the film ' s protagonist .\nthis was the ' 90s , this is how deals were made ,\nlyonne said , laughing .\nbroadly conceived and schematically directed , \u201cbut i\u2019m a cheerleader\u201d is a shallow , only mildly entertaining satire about a rehabilitation camp for gays and lesbians . basically a short extended to feature length , the movie benefits from a well - grounded performance by natasha lyonne as the vivacious teenager sent for sexual ( dis ) orientation , but suffers from cathy moriarty\u2019s irritatingly one - note rendition as the camp\u2019s homophobic counselor . fine line should expect modest returns for a comedy that has limited crossover appeal beyond the immediate target audience of young , undiscriminating gay viewers .\nit ' s not just money . part of it is , but not all . you greasers have a different set of values . you ' re more emotional . we ' re sophisticated - - - cool to the point of not feeling anything . nothing is real with us . you know , sometimes i ' ll catch myself talking to a girl - friend , and realize i don ' t mean half of what i ' m saying . i don ' t really think a beer blast on the river bottom is super - cool , but i ' ll rave about one to a girl - friend just to be saying something . i never told anyone that . i think you ' re the first person i ' ve ever really gotten through to .\ni mean , i have no doubt the movie will be good because of the raw filmmaking talent behind it .\nwell , the movie isn ' t perfect , but it ' s certainly a lot better than i thought it would be and frankly , i think it ' s quite underrated . i wish that more teenagers would see this movie because conversion therapy is still going on , and i think movies like this could help spark a conversation .\ni want these books to have their place in the canon . and if that means being back on every school list , that\u2019s great . i think every book deserves to find it\u2019s actual readership . people do want books to find readers , as well they should , i want books to find readers too . but i\u2019m not so doctrinaire about who should read them . i\u2019m much less interested in \u2018tapping into a market\u2019 than i am into making sure these books stay in print and are known as a period of literature , just like john cheever is , or like neil gaiman is , or f . scott fitzgerald , or edith wharton . i just want to make sure that their work is not completely forgotten ."]}

crossing fiction genres and maybe a few music genres as well . obviously it would take a book to go into all the various types in detail , so i\u2019ll focus on just a few less obscure ones .\nsadly i wouldn ' t bet on it being much of a player at the oscars or the general year - end awards race . that ' s not a knock on the film ' s quality , but it ' s simply too small to do battle with the likes of 12 years a slave , gravity , or the upcoming saving mr . banks and american hustle . barring a stunning show at the domestic box office , the real hope for this film lies in its international release , which oddly doesn ' t begin until next year . 20th century fox is slowly releasing the film all over the world starting in january of 2014 , positioning its domestic release this year purely on the off - chance that it can snag oscar glory . as such , the box office story of the book thief will not be written for quite some time .\n\u201cthat\u2019s not the way that it happens , \u201d mr . arriagada said of the process depicted in the film . \u201cif it were , it would be great , and we would open offices in washington or new york and overthrow dictators everywhere . this is too good to be true . \u201d\nthis film is the feature debut of short film maker ronnie sandahl and is about 23 - year - old\ndino\n( bianca kronl\u00f6f ) dreams of a different life . like an abundance of swedes her age , she has fled the mass unemployment of her home country sweden in search of a more promising future in rich oslo in the neighboring country norway . but she finds herself stuck in a destructive loop of temporary jobs through a recruitment bureau , money trouble , life in a tiresome collective with hard partying . some coincidence changes her situation drastically when she gets a job as a housemaid watching out for a young girl . underdog is both raw and tender , and also realistic as well as funny - showing a hard every day life of many swedes in norway . just as it probably is for many in the same situation across the globe , due to the large youth unemployment in many countries today , where youths have become neighboring countries ' servants in restaurants and private homes , a few years after being equals . the story is both typical and not . it keeps your interest , and is well played . we understand there are underlying problems , which slowly are revealed . the kind of baggage people have , and which is slowly unraveled . young talent bianca kronl\u00f6f is doing a great job in the role av dino , easily matches way more experienced henrik rafaelsen , and it ' s no wonder this film has become quite critically acclaimed , and has won a bunch of film festival prizes . the film gives many reasons for reflections , as well as really make you think about how we really treat each other , and abruptly accepts changing situations like this , where we accept both rapid changes in social differences as well as start treating people in a quite appalling way , when it comes to rich and poor . well worth a watch .\nyou can\u2019t just tell us who\u2019s the underdog\u2014you have to show us . we need to see the bumbling and the fumbling and how poorly the team works together , and that often means including an epic fail moment early on in the script . if it\u2019s the story of a natural - born talent , we need to see why they\u2019re not living up to their potential , whether it\u2019s addiction or shady circumstances and characters holding them back .\nt\u2019s hardly glory that\u2019s at stake , just an uptick in self - respect from ground zero , and a couple of grand . this is the ceiling jawbone sets itself \u2013 a cramping of ambition that\u2019s oddly admirable , even when the film\u2019s tone can come across as excessively stygian , lacking light and contrast .\na film that expressed its love for the homeless and the loveless ; for her whose cross is heavy and him whose touch is ashes \u2026 i wanted to shout , \u2018you are the salt of the earth . and it\u2019s a wonderful life is my memorial to you ! \u2019 print courtesy of paramount pictures .\nmacdonald : i\u2019m doing a film called dumplin \u2018 based on a young adult novel of the same name which i start production on in a couple weeks . i have another project i\u2019m working on called skin and another called white girl problems . it\u2019s going to be a busy year ; i\u2019m excited for it .\nlike the main protagonists b - rabbit ( eminem ) in 2002 ' s 8 mile and djay ( terrence howard ) in 2005 ' s hustle & flow , it ' s easy to root for patti because of the untapped talent she possesses and passion she has for the genre . macdonald ' s convincing performance as a rap artist ( she ' s far from it in real life ) is impressive and effortless . the crowd - pleasing narrative , however , doesn ' t raise itself above the clich\u00e9s of other underdog pictures that have come before it . it ' s a tough assignment for any coming - of - age film like this to find a unique angle to take , but very few of the themes that patti cake $ tackles feel substantial .\nbrian percival ' s the book thief is the kind of would - be family film that is all - but extinct . in the era before the four - quadrant blockbuster , a film like the book thief would have been somewhat more commonplace , back when there was a dividing line between\nkid films\nand\nadult films\n. the book thief is a very good version of what it attempts to be , expertly telling an adult story through a child ' s eyes . it is technically about life in world war ii - era germany , but it is told from the point - of - view of regular people in germany who struggled to go about their lives while a great evil took over their country and led them into war . it is not the first film to show a young child coming - of - age during wartime , but it is among the better ones that we ' ve seen in quite awhile .\njust shows what great films you can miss at certain times of your life . this was released when my children were teenagers and not interested in such films , i missed it completely , just happened to find it while looking at entertainment for my grandsons , they love it . especially the 4 year old , he runs around for days rescuing people and shouting\nnever fear underdog is here\n, and loves to speak in rhyme now ! !\nand this is just the first part of the film , which ranges over shravan ' s training , indian style , many run - ins with the law and examples of gross injustice . it may seem surprising that each new obstacle the authorities throw up to stop him from being a contender is met by the protagonist with more resignation than anger . and there is a lot of injustice . for instance , his opponents are bursting with steroids they don\u2019t bother to conceal , while his muscles are the hard - won type earned with nonstop exercise like swimming the ganges . what the dastardly das cooks up for sunaina tips the film into melodrama .\nasked last month for his formulation mr . garc\u00eda bernal used somewhat different language . \u201cthe film is definitely faithful to the nature of the true events , true to their sentiment , \u201d he said . \u201ci think that\u2019s what you can say . of course there are also many more details that you can\u2019t be sure about . \u201d\nthe central character and hero of \u201cno , \u201d which opens in limited release on friday , is the fictional ren\u00e9 saavedra , a hip young advertising executive recently returned from exile in mexico , played by gael garc\u00eda bernal . hired to produce the ad campaign for the underdog no side , saavedra faces resistance from stodgily doctrinaire politicians on the left , but he creates a hopeful rainbow logo and a slogan , \u201cchile , happiness is on its way , \u201d that turn the tide .\ni left the lincoln memorial with this growing conviction about our film : the more uncertain are the people of the world , the more their hard - won freedoms are scattered and lost in the winds of chance , the more they need a ringing statement of america\u2019s democratic ideals . the soul of our film would be anchored in lincoln . our jefferson smith would be a young abe lincoln , tailored to the rail - splitter\u2019s simplicity , compassion , ideals , humor , and unswerving moral courage under pressure . and back we went to hollywood to get to work on mr . smith goes to washington . the panic was over . it is never untimely to yank the rope of freedom\u2019s bell ."]}

, they can easily , for a time , appear in a very solid body . they are not animal spirits , but also lack the intelligence of a human consciousness when reading of evolution we have read many times conjecture about the missing link between man and the anthropoid ape . the snowmen are a missing link in consciousness , neither animal nor human . they are very close to out dimension , and yet are a part of one lower . could they be the missing link man has been so long searching for ?\nthat said , its written for children by people who have no clue what children are like , so . . . take that as you will .\ni have had both the earthly experience of encountering them by ape canyon , and the spiritual experience of knowing and telling what they are .\ni have walked through the messy cliffs of ape canyon , and seen a primeval loneliness , reminiscent of life as it must have been years ago .\nof course , reeves is moving onto other things now that his latest apes movie is finished - he ' s making the batman for warner - but given just how successful his take on the franchise has been , we ' d be surprised if he didn ' t at least continue to consult on future stories in some way . it certainly seems that reeves has an idea of where the apes franchise could go beyond caesar - and bad ape , the innocent , talking ape played by steve zahn , offers a small clue .\nas most darkwaters fans know , this group has been collecting every document lead that we could think of in order to put together a \u201cclue map\u201d that would lead to its location over the past 5 years or so . honestly , i kinda lost track .\nthe first recorded encounter of the apes with white men was in 1924 . a group of five prospectors rushed into kelso to report that a group of great , ape - like creatures had attacked them in the middle of the night .\nwhen we were back home in kelso , washington , he told some of his friends , and somehow the story leaked out to the papers , and the great hairy ape hunt of 1924 was on .\nthree persons in a car on a lonely forest road said they saw one of the creatures when it flashed across the headlight beams of their car near the wilderness area which includes such places as \u201cape canyon . \u201d\nthe depiction is today a big part of the society of the rosicrucians and the mysteries of alchemy and was published by one of the most accepted founding members of the rosicrucian society .\nthe track went in the direction of ape canyon . but no trace of carter or his equipment was found although the area was combed for two weeks . lee recalled stories of about 25 persons who claim they had encountered the monsters during a 20 year period .\nthe attack continued the remainder of the night , with only short intervals between . a most profound and frightening experience occurred when one of the creatures , being close to the cabin , reached an arm through the chinking space and seized one of our axes by the handle ( a much written about incident and a true one ) . before the thing could pull the axe out , i swiftly turned the head of the axe upright , so that it caught on the logs ; and at the same time hank shot , barely missing my hand .\nthe canyon named for the apes , is a lonely , ominous spot in a wild area . it extends to a point near ape cave , thought to be the longest unitary lava tube in the world .\nit was not long before i saw one of the apelike creatures , standing about eighty yards away near the edge of ape canyon . i shot three times , and it toppled over the cliff , down into the gorge , some four hundred feet below .\non the second day of a three day expedition , 5 members of the dwpg recovered the cabin site of the famed venderwhite mine .\nthen came the \u201cgreat ape hunt 0f 1924 . \u201d

could find it again . it hovered near the top of the north cliff of ape canyon . that was the site where we later blasted out our shaft .\nthe dark waters paranormal group is reporting that the infamous site of the 1924 ape canyon bigfoot attack may have been found . for decades , the location of the cabin , where four prospectors endured a night from hell as large , hairy \u201cmountain

of today , i propose the beauty of the rose cross is the opening of a cosmic wormhole from the star of our ancestors . there is one more piece of the puzzle to add here and it is being prepared . watch this space . . .\nin july 10 , 1924 , four gold prospectors were holed up in their cabin on mount st . helens when a large number of huge , hairy creatures began attacking their cabin . the men shot at the creatures and claim to have killed one which tumbled 400 feet into a canyon . the story is regarded as one of the earliest sasquatch - related violent encounters and the gorge where the incident occurred became known as \u201cape canyon\u201d .\nquietly , poignantly , the curtain has fallen on caesar . the intelligent ape who first led his kind out of captivity in 2011 ' s rise of the planet of the apes has done so again in this summer ' s third chapter . humanity has , it seems , finally reached its end thanks to a cruel mutation in the virus that already weakened it 15 years earlier . war for the planet of the apes sees caesar pass into legend ; mortally wounded , he dies in the knowledge that his fellow apes are finally safe from harm .\nthe legend of the apemen of mt . st . helens returns , like hay fever , with summer weather .\nwhen this age or cycle of life that we are in moves on eventually to a higher cycle , and all life moves forward , these beings may stay and move up in consciousness in some other world in the far distant future . perhaps the ape beings will toil the road of intelligence in that world which none of us can even imagine , and perhaps they too will lose nothing and gain by their experience .\nto avoid embarrassment to the relatives of the other four men involved in the 1924 incident , i have not directly mentioned their names . the name , hank , is a pseudonym of one of the main characters in the incident .\nin the true sense everything in the material world is a manifestation . ever since the time the first essence of consciousness formed from the great void we cannot describe , different planes or dimensions of being were created or manifested . occasionally we of this dimension of space can be conscious of other beings of a different vibration and consciousness .\nfirst of all , i wish to give an account of the attack and tell of the famous incident of july , 1924 , when the \u201chairy apes\u201d attacked our cabin . we had been prospecting for six years in the mt . st . helens and lewis river area in southwest washington . we had , from time to time , come across large tracks by creek beds and springs . in 1924 i and four other miners were working our gold claim , the vander white . it was two miles east of mt . st . helens near a deep canyon now named \u201cape canyon\u201d \u2014 which was so named after an account of the incident reached the newspapers .\nis there an interrelated race of these beings awaiting their proper day of evolution ? i am of the opinion that evolution is not only a law of the material world , but also the law of all the worlds we cannot perceive by the medium of our five senses . everything seen and unseen is life and all life is progressive and changing .\nfor years researchers have searched for the infamous cabin site which was presumably destroyed by the mt . st . helens eruption in 1980 . for the last five years , marc myrsell and his washington - based dark waters paranormal investigation team have spent their warm months hunting down evidence of the ape canyon cabin , and after a series of fortuitous clues , believe they\u2019ve finally discovered its location ( which they are not ready to publicly disclose ) .\ni say this confident by the evidence of my experiences , things that i have not before revealed to the public , and i also say it from the knowledge gained on the subject later . in this book i will reveal thoroughly what i know them to be . first of all i will say that \u2018they are not entirely of the world . \u2019 i know the reaction we experienced as these beings attacked out cabin impressed many with the concept of great ape - like men dwelling in the mountains . and i can say that we genuinely fought and were quite fearful , and we were glad to get out of the mountains but i was , for one , always conscious that we were dealing with supernatural beings , and i know the other members of the party felt the same .\nof the ancient star map cases i have proposed as the place of our star visitor human ancestors due to the ancient clues found with each case .\nthe nature of the site carries a high probability of very little human impact . the area has never been commercially logged as there are so few trees and these are very difficult to get out . the danger of traversing the area makes a high rate of human camp sites unlikely .\nforestry employes have investigated many reports of the strange creatures . according to indian legend , the \u201capes\u201d were the ferocious selahtik indians , a band of renegades much like giant apes in appearance who lived like wild animals in the secluded caves of the cascades .\nthe so called cradle of civilisation by tradition in historical circles is the area of sumer of sumerian history which is now modern day iraq and iran . they used ancient scroll seals that venerated their most valuable identity traditions . the most comon star theme according to scholars at the british museum on these scroll seals is the pleiades ref . but in the image below in the british museum we see a cylinder seal made of chalcedony showing king shamash venerating his teaching of the star secret using the cross of the churches . but in this example one has to wonder how the rose depiction of it when viewed above the west horizon came to be . was it from the same cosmic teachers who taught the builders of stonehenge ref where it evolved through the monarchy systems of europe ?\n\u201cbad ape is actually a seed that is a forest ,\nreeves told yahoo .\nin this story we see that the idea is that the world is revealed to be much larger than the apes ever imagined . there are apes who grew up without the benefit of caesar\u2019s leadership and they might not just be pockets of one or two , there might be actually colonies , and might that be where future conflicts come for caesar\u2019s apes ? they have the benefit of the integrity that he\u2019s instilled in them , so what\u2019s going to happen when they encounter others who didn\u2019t have that ? \u201d\nthis is an actual photograph of the pleiades area with the leg of the bull pattern added and with the 3 sun stars shown in correct positions and correct yellow spectral color but just enlarged for purpose of measurement of its layout pattern . these 3 sun - like stars are in contention according to the repeating accounts\nwhen it comes to the question of how earth has fallen into the hairy hands of the apes , the 21st century series has differed from the 60s and 70s series , of course . in those , chimpanzees were kept as slaves and proliferated among humans ; when our species largely obliterated itself with the bomb , the apes evolved and , over the course of generations , gradually took over .\nto borrow reeves ' term , the seed is planted , then , for a future where pockets of intelligent apes - maybe apes as chatty as zahn ' s character - have sprung up elsewhere on the planet . how have they adapted ? might they be more advanced , having taken over abandoned cities and technology ? if so , might a new war break out - not between humans , but rival ape societies ?\nold timers aren\u2019t surprised , just amused . the apeman legend actually is older than the white man\u2019s habitation of the pacific northwest .\ncheck the collection of paranormal pics below . click a pic and check out the entire set on flickr .\nanswer : \u201ci doubt very much that they will be seen by tens of thousands of people like flying saucers . this is not a book on flying saucers , but i will say that the nature of flying saucers is very high and lofty , and their purpose is important to us , the purpose of the abominable snowmen does not fit the aims of the life purpose in the degree as what the world calls u . f . o : \u2019s . \u201d\nfor andy serkis , the death of caesar doesn ' t necessarily mean the end of his involvement in the apes franchise . thanks to the wonders of performance - capture , he could potentially play another character in the saga , assuming the role ' s sufficiently different from the noble , introspective caesar . the bigger question , serkis says , is who could take over from matt reeves as the series ' new director .\nas best we can tell , we probably found the long , 20 foot side of the cabin , guessing the uphill side . but\u2026 .\nunless the creatures are really fuzzy throwbacks , the lost indian tribe theory seems most likely to some of the fans of the mystery . it has given rise to some suggestions , one of which is to leave well enough alone . the government might take over and shove benefits and subsidies at them \u2014 retroactive to the ice age .\nfield visits have been conducted to put those clues on the ground . it\u2019s been a lot of snooping , a lot of sitting down for hours at a time just staring at the trees , a lot of thinking .\nbut in context here many scholars see these words speaking a lot deeper of the timeless tradition of the expression\nas above so below\n. i concur partly with this general mirror of the heavens legend theme and especially when looking at the title in context with the page image of a creation feminine entity in the heavens with special stars and watching down below as it is on earth .\nthe legend grew from that point for several years , then subsided with only sporadic reports of traces of the apes . responsible persons , experienced mountaineers and skiers , have given credence to the story .\na portland couple fishing on the lewis river south of the mountain saw a huge beige figure \u201cbigger than any human\u201d amble off into the brush .\nbob lee of portland , a leader of the 1961 himalayan expedition and adviser to last year\u2019s himalayan expedition , said last year he had a strange experience . lee has never claimed to have seen the apes , but said \u201cthere was something strange on the high slopes of the mountain . \u201d\nthe miners said they had been working a mine on the east slopes of mt . st . helens . during the daytime , they saw some of the apes and fired at them to halt an apparent attack . one of the apes appeared to have been hit and rolled into a deep ravine . that night , according to the account , the apemen hurled rocks onto the cabin and \u201cdanced and screamed until daylight . \u201d\nthis is a list of references for kong : king of the apes . these citations are used to identify the reliable sources on which this article is based . these references appear inside articles in the form of superscript numbers , which look like this : [ 1 ]\nthe human soul once dwelled in a spiritual body , and eventually incarnated , at the fall of man , into bodies like we have now . the beings we call abominable snowmen were not of the necessary high development to incarnate in human form . they had not reached that scale of spiritual evolution .\nanswer : \u201cthey are about seven feet tall , but many people have seen larger ones . they had large ears and a head that was in proportion with their large muscular body . their shoulders were tremendous but they had slim hips . they were hairy but not shaggy . in general they possess a very stout physical frame , but looked more like a giant human than an ape . \u201d\nat the time , lee was a member of the seattle mountain search and rescue unit . he described the search for carter as \u201cthe most eerie experience i ever had . \u201d he said that every time he was cut off from the rest of the search party he felt \u201csomebody was watching me . \u201d\nif you would like a download instead of the dvd in note to seller write download .\ni think they will . they are just one little mystery from the ocean of

a warning for major , major spoilers , we look at war for the planet of the apes , and where the franchise might go next . . .\nwhatever happens next - and even if , assuming fox made the bizarre decision to wind up the apes story here - war for the planet of the apes leaves the story in a mournful yet satisfying place : for our money , the best trilogy of films in the history of genre cinema . in reeves and serkis ' hands , caesar has become a figure of mythical proportions . his fellow apes are safe ; his journey is complete . and what an extraordinary journey it\u2019s been .\nstory of how two youngsters round up crooks planning to blow up the british fleet off gibraltar .\nit\u2019d certainly be interesting to see planet of the apes retold from the apes\u2019 perspective rather than a human\u2019s . but wouldn\u2019t that feel a little superfluous after the current trilogy has done so much to make the franchise feel original again ? certainly , matt reeves seems more interested in seeing the story head in its own direction rather than simply remaking the original - as tim burton sort of did with his planet of the apes movie .\nwe took the water back to the cabin , and explained the affair to the rest of the party ; and we all agreed , including hank , to go home the next morning as it would be dark before we could get to the car . we agreed it would be unsound to be caught by darkness on the way out .\na friend of mine was fishing , he strung a number of trout on a stick and laid them on a rock . he walked down - stream and waded out into the river to continue his fishing . a little later he looked back and saw one of the hairy creatures picking up his string of fish . he was thrashing them against the rock .\nanswer : \u201cwe certainly did . our eyes were keen in those days , and we were expert shots . when hank shot the one peeking around the tree , he exclaimed , \u2018don\u2019t worry about that devil , fred , i got him right in the head ! \u2019 later on i examined the tree and there were three nicks where the bark had been grooved by his bullets . the one i shot by ape canyon , i had plainly in my sights . he just tumbled over into the deep gorge . some people think the melting snow water , which flows heavily summer afternoons , washed him away . some others think the creatures came and packed their own away , and retired with them back to hidden lava caves . my views are plain on the subject . \u201d\ni have told of my past experiences , and have tried to explain about the present sightirigs . what does the future hold regarding the phenomenon of abominable snowmen ? perhaps some psychic will enter into their investigation . he will probably keep records and have reliable witnesses to observe his work and to report his findings to the world . sightings of abominable snowmen have been reported at various times from every major continent . they were of different appearances and sizes and the records of them date back many years .\nthe events leading up to the ape episode were filled with the psychic element . since a young man i had always been clairvoyant . when just a boy i was in the pasture playing with my beanshooter . i had bought it with some long earned coins . it had a twisted wire handle . i lost it , and as i was crying , a kindly woman came up to me and put her arms around me . i felt warm all over . \u201clittle boy , \u201d she said , \u201cdon\u2019t cry . go home , you will find your beanshooter there . \u201d\nthe easy way out for lots of people is to just consider it a wild tale . but too many people have seen them and the evidence is piling up to definitely prove this . the same line of escapism of thought concerning phenomenal sightings of flying saucers is evident . a report recently showed 5 , 000 , 000 americans claimed to have seen flying saucers .\nthey are the easiest beings materialized as evidenced by the many reports of their appearances to more people in recent years . in fact , if the vibratory influence right for them is present they can manifest without any human being present at all . this accounts for the many tracks being seen along the mountain ranges of the west coast and canada .\nwhen i speak of abominable snowmen as being an lower order of life i was not inferring that they are evil or bad . they just function on a plane lower than the human plane . neither are they completely dull minded with no sense of what they are doing . in some of their encounters with people , they have displayed quite a degree of cleverness .\nin the cabin , we had a long bunk bed in which two could sleep , feet to feet \u2014 the rest of us sleeping on pine boughs on the floor . at one end of the cabin , we had a fireplace , fashioned out of rocks . there were no windows in the cabin . so darkness found all of us in the cabin , more calm now ( and my tooth was better , somehow the excitement seemed to work a temporary cure on it ) . we were sitting around , puffing on pipes , and talking about the trip home the next day .\nthe picture i am trying to paint for you is a picture of manifestation . in this book i have showed also some of our high manifestation , as we had many of a high nature the six years we spent in the mt . st . helen\u2019s area . of course , the lower or grosser manifestations were in the appearing of these hairy creatures called abominable snowmen \u2014 also called hairy apes , bigfoot and sasquatch , according to the region they are seen in . i believe they have always existed , although our encounter with them in 1924 was the first major report of anyone coming in contact with them . other writings have documented the cases very well . i just like to show the reason for their appearances .\nthis time , we stayed on the mountain for three days , 89 years later , almost to the week when the smith / beck group fended off the attack with song , yelling and a lot of ammunition .\ni tried to persuade everyone not to relate the happenings to anyone , and they agreed , but hank soon let the cat out of the bag . we made our way to spirit lake , and hank went in to the ranger station . he had told the ranger earlier about the tracks , and the ranger had replied , \u201clet me know if you find out what they are . \u201d that was just what hank did , to the puzzlement of the ranger .\nlook closely at the most repeated cuniform sysmbol here . it is the symbol that is extracted . is it just a coincidence it resembles the chi - rho of the european churches that emperor constantine presented to repesent the christ and what he saw in the sky when he had an angelic encounter\nit ' s a superb performance from andy serkis , who ' s now played the role of caesar for the best part of five years ; once again , his turn is a captivating amalgam of cutting - edge cgi and subtle acting . that final scene between caesar and his old friend maurice ( karin konoval ) draws a line under what has , perhaps as much as gollum from lord of the rings , become one of serkis ' signature characters .\nthe stage is set , therefore , for the events of 1968\u2019s planet of the apes . the lapse into a kind of pre - stone age bestiality - a process that previously took 5 , 000 years - will instead take a few short decades . apes haven\u2019t yet built the pre - industrial towns and cities we see in franklin j schaffner\u2019s original movie , but it\u2019s surely only decades away .\nquestion : \u201cyou speak of telling the truth . do you think you telling people the truth about abominable snowmen will help them understand truth ? \u201d\nthis was the start of the famous attack , of which so much has been written in washington and oregon papers through out the years . most accounts tell of giant boulders being hurled against the cabin , and say some even fell through the roof , but this was not quite the case . there were very few large rocks around in that area . it is true that many smaller ones were hurled at the cabin , but they did not break through the roof , but hit with a bang , and rolled off . some did fall through the chimney of the fireplace . some accounts state i was hit in the head by a rock and knocked unconscious . this is not true .\nas matt reeves told us before war ' s release , it ' s the question of how the apes wind up taking over the planet that makes this new series so engrossing .\nthe colonial film website is funded by the arts and humanities research council and features films from the british film institute , the imperial war museum , and the british empire and commonwealth museum .\nnext trip will entail tracing out the cabin perimeter and trying to locate the mine and spring in the story .\nin 1922 we found the location of our mine . a spiritual being , a large indian dressed in buckskin , appeared to us and talked to us . he was the picture of stateliness itself . he never told us his name , but we always called him the great spirit . he replied once , \u201cthe great spirit is above me . we are all of the great spirit , if we listen when the great spirit talks . \u201d\ni find it interesting how all three animated series featuring kong chose to portray him as a big friendly giant who befriends children and battles a mad scientist . the similarities between the last two series kind of make sense though , since king of the apes is basically a spiritual successor to the animated series and shares the same writer .\nin the 60s apes films , the gulf of time between the human and apes civilisations meant that all knowledge of post - industrial technology had been forgotten . even the wisest of the apes scoffs at the idea that astronaut george taylor ( charlton heston ) arrived on their planet via a space craft . the new apes could easily side - step this ; in war , we see that helicopters and armoured vehicles - not to mention the fuel that powers them - still exists . there\u2019s little reason why the apes , after waiting a few years for the simian flu virus to take its course , couldn\u2019t simply move into the cities and take over .\n, check out the footprints of our past - interesting stories and news about past and current trends and fads .\nthe creature let go , and i pulled the handle back in , and put the axe in a safe place .\nthe only time we shot our guns that night was when the creatures were attacking our cabin . when they would quiet down for a few minutes , we would quit shooting . i told the rest of the party , that maybe if they saw we were only shooting when they attacked , they might realize we were only defending ourselves . we could have had clear shots at them through the opening left by the chinking had we chosen to shoot . we did shoot , however , when they climbed up on our roof . we shot round after round through the roof . we had to brace the hewed - logged door with a long pole taken from the bunk bed . the creatures were pushing against it and the whole door vibrated from the impact . we responded by firing many more rounds through the door . they pushed against the walls of the cabin as if trying to push the cabin over , but this was pretty much an impossibility , as previously stated the cabin was a sturdy made building . hank and i did most of the shooting \u2014 the rest of the party crowded to the far end of the cabin , guns in their hands . one had a pistol , which still is in my family\u2019s possession , the others clutched their rifles . they seemed stunned and incredulous .\nthe obvious direction for the franchise to go might be a partial remake of the original 1968 apes , where an astronaut lands and finds that the whole planet\u2019s gone to hell . remember that , in rise of the planet of the apes , we briefly see on a television that a craft called the icarus has taken off on a mission to mars ; a reference to the craft that took heston on his fateful journey . a newspaper in a later scene states that the icarus is\nlost in space\n. while it could be left as an easter egg , the series ' producers at least have the option to return to it in a later movie .\nstaff role on the left , staff member ' s name on the right .\nthe attack ended just before daylight . just as soon as we were sure it was light enough to see , we came cautiously out of the cabin .\nanswer : \u201cit is hard to classify a spiritual subject and apply a system to it . it is a difference in time , space and the movement of matter . they are different planes of consciousness . human consciousness is the highest form we know because all human life has the spark of the divine consciousness in their soul . but this world in which we live is not the only dimension that has human life . there are other planes of life , immaterial in comparison to our materiality . some of these planes , such as the ones mentioned above , are high , but there are also lower dimensions . \u201d\nit ' s surely significant that war for the planet of the apes tells its story from the apes ' perspective more exclusively than any film in the series before it . in rise , there was scientist will rodman ( james franco ) who served as a human protagonist , and in dawn , there was human survivor malcolm ( jason clarke ) . in war , there\u2019s only caesar ; he and his fellow apes may have nova ( amiah miller ) in tow , but she\u2019s more a supporting character , like newt in aliens . this , as it turns out , is no bad thing ; war is as much about caesar\u2019s internal battle as a physical war between ape and human , while the scenes between serkis and woody harrelson ' s ruthless colonel positively crackle with dark energy .\ni have lived this experience with abominable snowmen . i have encountered them on the slopes of mt . st . helens . i have looked deep into myself to tell you of their nature .\ncarter , he said , had climbed the mountain with some companions on a warm , clear sunday . he left the group to take a picture and said he would ski to the left of the group . he was never seen again .\nmaterial things usually make a big splash in the material world , and spiritual things often do not make a ripple there . why ? we can give proof of a phenomenon , but its nature is immersed in the spiritual and can only be explained by laws of the spiritual .\nin the first chapter i told about the attack , and now i want to go into the background , and tell a little concerning our activities . they will be colorful , and from them emerge a spiritual and metaphysical understanding of the case .\nmore expeditions to the site are planned in order to continue excavating the cabin\u2019s remains .\nwhen you have this bag of clues , it\u2019s a lot of hunting and pecking . well , it could be this\u2026 . well , it could be that\u2026 .\nthe manuscript source is hard to trace back to its origins yet the evidence discussed here takes it only back to the late 1500 ' s where it was most likely a copy of a depiction from a secret ' forbidden ' manuscript . but here is the big mystery . where was the original source ? was it sourced from a monarchy owned library collection that got into the hands of an elite family member of the person who produced that which you see here ? this famous person who reproduced the image as discussed below probably reproduced this ancient knowledge detail from a rare ' forbidden manuscript ' .\nanima mundi is the title covering the human beginnings text in the manuscript which in latin means\nto bring fourth souls to the earth\n. but on the page itself with the depiction , it has a page heading :\nintegra natura fpeculum artisque imago\nour time spent in mt . st . helens was a series of psychic experiences . the method we found our mine was psychic . i am mentioning these facts to help build a background of understanding in a case which has been wholly explained in a material sense . as i will explain the mysterious realities of the abominable snowmen , so must i show some of my inner experiences , for in my mind the two have always been closely connected together ; and as i will show , these beings bear a direct association with the psychic realm .\nthey told me the \u201cselahtiks\u201d migrated into canada , and in fact traveled the mountain ranges nearly to mexico . one of their favorite methods of traveling was floating down rivers at night , \u201clike logs\u201d . they told tales about them running away with squaws .\nwhile the comedy , or attempts at comedy rather , can be childish at best , and the sometimes blaring environmental message , the series is actually pretty dark in the drama .\nit was really weird ,\nserkis said , when we asked him about shooting caesar ' s final scenes .\ni knew we ' d have to shoot it one day , and it wasn ' t even the end of the shoot . it was about three quarters of the way through . i have a huge affection for the character - i ' ve played him through three movies , all the way from the beginning of his life to late maturity , shall we say . so playing that scene with karin - she ' s so extraordinary in that scene as well . we ' re both aware that it ' s the end of a chapter , and i really loved the challenges of playing caesar throughout the three movies . and i ' ll really miss him as a character , actually .\nthere have been many reports of footprints in the area . some are described as being about 18 inches long and seemingly human .\nthere was no third step . this is certainly another indication of what i\u2019m saying about manifestation . i have heard it said that many ages ago the rocky mountain and cascade mountain ranges were a center of a great civilization . i do think the mountain areas are extra sensitive to spiritual vibration , usually of a higher order , but sometimes lower . we ourselves being extra sensitive to spiritual vibration , probably had come into contact with the manifestation of these being easier than , perhaps , the average person would have .\nanswer : \u201cto set the record straight . the incident of 1924 needs explaining that people can see it in fact . i was involved in it . i am 78 now and wish to put the facts before the people . i have never earned one cent from my experiences , and this is the first time i have written anything on the subject . \u201d\nyes , but i cannot remember everything \u2014 that was over 40 years ago . i wish i could write more of such happenings , but i must keep in the central theme of my book . i remember one very dangerous thing : we were bothered with rats in the cabin , and we would shoot at them with a pistol . one of us would hold a lantern while another would shoot . hank had packed half a sack of dynamite inside the cabin , mistaking it for some potatoes one of the party had packed in . he shot several rats off the sack before any of us realized what was in the sack . he turned white as a sheet and had to sit down . and let me add another thing , if you boil beans in the mountains , put on a good lid and be patient . \u201d\nstory of how two youngsters round up crooks to blow up british fleet off gibraltar .\nwe got a little closer , and we all saw the image of a large door open , and the big indian appeared in front of it . he spoke : \u201cbecause you have cursed the spirit leading you , you will be shown where there is gold , but it is not given to you . \u201d\ni helped to get the chinking off him , and he jumped to his feet . then , we heard a great commotion outside : it sounded like a great number of feet trampling and rattling over a pile of our unused shakes . we grabbed our guns . hank squinted through the space left by the chinking . by actual count , we saw only three of the creatures together at one time , but it sounded like there were many more .\ndue to the sensitive nature of this historic site , i\u2019m really , really , really sorry . but we can\u2019t go into specific details about the site\u2019s location . please don\u2019t ask .\nthis is the second children film foundation film i have seen and is a good one . naval cadet roy savage pulls a pilot out of a crashed airplane and is rewarded with a trip to gibraltar . there he hooks up with nati banda and the two of them tangle with a comically inept band of saboteurs ; among their plots , they are trying to poison the rock ' s barbary apes , since everyone knows that when the apes leave , so will the british . director james hill gives us plenty of location shooting on gibraltar , lots of flag - waving action by the british navy in action and doesn ' t stint us on activity by miss banda , who is not in the film simply to tag along along . it ' s highly enjoyable kiddy fare .\nmost theories picture the snowmen as material beings hiding in caves , and scampering over the mountains . the law of probability would be that eventually one would be found if their bodies were of physical construction only . if one claims only the physical laws to explain their existence , then we can use a material logic to prove or disprove the premise . if they are material life definite material evidence would surely be found .\nthe beings we are considering in this book had their origin in this period of great chaos , evolving very slowly to their present nature .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nfirst of all , i hope this book does not discourage too much those interested souls who are looking and trying to solve the mystery of the abominable snowmen . if someone captured one , i would have to swallow most of the content of this book , for i am about to make a bold statement : no one will ever capture one , and no one will ever kill one \u2014 in other words , present to the world a living one in a cage , or find a dead body of one to be examined by science . i know there are stories that some have been captured but got away . so will they always get away .\nthere we were standing in the middle of the sand bar , and not one of us could conceive any earthly thing taking steps 160 feet long . \u201cno human being could have made these tracks , \u201d hank said , \u201cand there\u2019s only one way they could be made , something dropped from the sky and went back up . \u201d\nit is the time for the world to pick up its ears about the subject of psychic phenomenon , and this more people are doing , but if there is a phenomenon , there is also a world from which its qualities are manifested .\nthe best thing about the new series of apes movies - particularly the matt reeves ones - is that they don\u2019t hold anything back . there\u2019s seldom the sense that plot threads and characters are being introduced to set up sequels and spin - offs ; death is ever - present in the apes movies . once a character\u2019s gone , they\u2019re gone .\nbut the excitement began with the discovery of the wire , about 16\u2033 long with a coiled loop at one end , like for a bailing or a handle , sticking vertically in the ground . but a raptor could have been building a nest , grabbed it from woodland and dropped it here .\nkong : king of the apes also shares a writer ( sean catherine derek ) and an executive producer ( allen bohbot ) with its predecessor .\nthis means that , from rise onwards , the new apes saga has always felt as though it\u2019s been moving forward with purpose - events leading inexorably but absorbingly to the apocalyptic endgame we saw in the 60s and 70s movies . as we\u2019ve seen with the star wars and alien franchises , making prequels can be a bit of a poisoned chalice : creating an interesting journey is difficult when we already know the destination . yet the nature of the conflicts in the apes films have always been compelling to watch ; whether it was caesar fighting for his freedom in rise , koba plotting against the humans in dawn , or caesar\u2019s vengeful mission in war , there\u2019s been a simmering tension in the apes films that was glaringly absent from the star wars prequels ."]}

' s films get some weirdly bad reviews . though his films are smart and hip , downey goes after straight culture with an unmatched , gleeful , subversive eye , and generally hits what he aims at . chafed elbows epitomises this style , going after everything , including the making of movies itself . in chafed elbows , like chris marker , he uses still photographs to great effect , but more in the vein of national lampoon magazine than f - stop . this film plays like jazz , riffing from one theme to another , one scene to another , one character to another , eschewing plot for wit and speed and surreal wordplay . it ' s a wonder that this , and downey ' s other movies , were ever made , they are so wonderfully offensive . his audience is , perhaps intentionally , small . the rewards , however , for those who do love his films , are great indeed . viva downey !\nno more excuses ,\nthe latest , almost - feature - length satire by robert downey , is as american as apple pie . the movie essay , from the young man who made the , underground hits\nchafed elbows\nand\nbabo 73 ,\nmanages in 52 minutes to interrelate the assassination of president james a . garfield , east side singles bars , sex , the society for indecency to naked animals and large portions of\nballs bluff .\nview full article in timesmachine \u00bb\nchafed elbows is my favorite of the downey sr . explorations . it was the story of a man involved in incest with his mother , and is a direct involvement in a murder . it was a hysterical piece , the dry humor therapist scene had me laughing my ass off . just these wise one liners all the way through , and underground cinema inside jokes made it an extremely interesting film . i thought the dubbing was annoying though , and would be better just to make it a regular shoot .\nchafed elbows is also an experiment in visual humor . downey uses still pictures for more than half the movie , treating the frozen action as a cartoon . dinsmore is on a roof undressing a girl . stop . comment . he makes love . stop . he throws her off the roof into long island traffic . comment , existential chuckle . dinsmore gets a stop - action hysterectomy which , allowing for differences of taste , is still not the last laugh . but that it is humorous at all is downey ' s victory .\nokay . chafed elbows is without a doubt one of the most unique flicks i ' ve ever seen . made in 1966 by robert downey sr . ( no clue pops was a film - maker ) , chafed elbows is a satire that completely dissects and makes fun of almost every single aspect of society . from racism and the police , to incest and music . filmed in a very peculiar but successful way , you ' re shown stills from a scene with very well - done dubbing . it ' s remarkably effective , especially in the laughs department . the flick follows around walter dinsmore , who basically goes around town interacting with whomever he crosses paths with . from a dude who wants to sell him as a painting because the weirdo painted his initial on his jacket , to his brother who wants to build a racist amusement park so he can help black people . god this flick was weird . but , it was also good , and intelligent , and funny . check this out if you ' re in the mood for good old - time satire .\nin tonight ' s zany double feature , a man undergoes a breakdown , has a hysterectomy , discovers hundreds of dollars growing inside his body and carries on a passionate affair with his mother in\nchafed elbows\n( 1966 , in which milk appears as , believe it or not , a cop ,\nfor like 2 seconds ,\ndowney said ) . in 1964 ' s\nbabo 73 ,\nthe president of the united states deals with a communist plot to curtail the birthrate of the united states by distributing condoms . one new york critic said the film looked like it was shot on scotch tape .\nnew yawk new wave has been running at film forum since january 11 but still has a couple of precious days of life left . in a way , it\u2019s one of the more ambitious curatorial projects to emerge from the theater\u2019s august archivists . the series isn\u2019t bound to a single era ( it encompasses the period from 1953 to 1973 ) , genre ( everything from madcap comedy to downcast drama makes an appearance ) , or even style ( there\u2019s new wave , cinema v\u00e9rit\u00e9 , post - noir , and whatever you want to call robert downey sr . \u2019s still - photos - plus - voiceovers oddity , chafed elbows ) . besides new york origins , the main thing this wildly [ \u2026 ]\ni saw chafed elbows at the underground movies in about 1968 . very cheap production - rapid fire still pictures with a hilarious soundtrack . the throwaway one liners have a cumulative effect . a few of my favorites : walter is walking down a side street in new york . a man is sitting in the middle of the street with a can of white paint and a brush painting a line down the middle . walter says ,\nwhat ' s going on here ?\nman says ,\nyou ' ve gotta draw the line somewhere !\nyou can never guess what the next line is . in another scene , walter sits in a pew in church . a naked woman appears in the pew right behind him and says ,\ni ' ll give you five dollars for your socks . i ' m a sock sniffer .\nwalter , completely serious , says ,\nhow can you think about sniffing socks when all those people are starving in china ?\nfeeling the onset of his annual november breakdown , walter dinsmore ( george morgan ) checks himself into a hospital . while there , he finds himself pregnant and gives birth to 189 ten dollar bills . after which , he is turned into a work of art at gunpoint ( or a walking advertisement for a fast food chain ) which brings on his annual january breakdown . his psychiatrist ( lawrence wolf ) tells him not to worry , not believing walter ' s worries about impregnating his mother ( elsie downey ) , at least until she confirms it over the telephone .\nchafed elbows\nis an unpredictable and amusing movie , definitely belonging to the times it was made and the underground scene where it was formed in warning against the dangers of commodification . as such , it is influenced by the works of preston sturges ( according to the director robert downey sr . at the q & a ) , and chris marker through its use of collage work , with the assistance of some wacky voices . the movie works so well in its own absurd and motley way that the otherwise tasteless incest storyline has little negative impact . if nothing else , elsie downey playing all of the female parts could imply the third biggest oedipal complex of all time .\nthis riot of bad taste was a breakthrough for downey , thanks to rave notices . visualized largely in still 35 mm photographs , it follows a shiftless downtown manhattanite having his \u201cannual november breakdown\u201d as he wanders from one odd job to the next , coming across all sorts of sordid types , from a desperate independent filmmaker to a destitute dirty - sock sniffer . and there is something to offend everyone : incest , murder , bad pop songs , you name it .\n\u201cit was just fun , \u201d robert downey sr . says of his early new york filmmaking days , in a new interview with bilge ebiri for the village voice .\nthese five films chart the unlikely ascendance of a hero of american underground cinema .\nget info about new releases , top 10 lists , contests , giveaways , and other special offers .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndon ' t miss out ! subscribe to our weekly mailing of screenings and events .\nanthology film archives evolved from roots and visions that go back to the early 1960s , when jonas mekas , the director of the film -

conscious , highly experimental works that make richard lester\u2019s oeuvre seem polite and godard\u2019s plot - heavy . though he achieved cult success with 1969\u2019s putney swope , some of downey\u2019s other , more radical works from the period are arguably more interesting , and their revival by way of an eclipse box set is exceptional news . up all night with robert downey sr . brings together five early films which show the director at his unhinged best , and if nothing else should prove a hedge against downey becoming a mere footnote to his more famous son\u2019s career . a part of new [ \u2026 ]\ni like being aggressive in the storytelling . . .\n: michael dinner on his cbs james ellroy adaptation ,\nplot : a guy named walter experiences his annual breakdown , gives birth to cash , and marries his mother .\n. i ' m a fan of the other robert downey movies i ' ve seen , mostly because the guy seems fearless . with this early flick , you get kitchen sink satire , goofball avant - garde , spotty comedy , and a cheap but completely unique style . like chris marker ' s\n, this story - - though it would be a mistake to go into this looking for a story - - is told through a series of still images rather than moving pictures . the dialogue is ludicrously dubbed , and the music often feels like an assault . but i mean that as a positive . downey ' s wife elsie and george martin do all of the voices as director / writer takes on politics , art , religion , and relationship , attacks on everything with dada bullets and kooky gags that sort of recall a more surrealistic or drugged marx brothers . it ' s wild stuff , man .\nlooking at the ultra - conventional career of sherlock holmes / iron man robert downey , jr . , it\u2019s hard to imagine that this talented but timid mcmoviestar was sired by a disreputable ultracool beatnik hepcat . indeed , if not for the implication of the \u201cjr . \u201d designation and the genetic necessity of fatherhood , the average moviegoer would have no idea that a\nexists . but exist he does , and a strange life has he led . to those who know him at all , downey is known as a director of obscure cult films and hollywood flops ( including his first hollywood flop , the sacrilegious but certified weird vaudeville jesus western\n, a satire about a black power advocate who accidentally becomes head of a madison avenue advertising firm , the elder downey had led a fascinating life . by age 29 , downey\nhad lied about his age so he could enlist in the army , been court martialed , won a golden gloves amateur boxing championship , played semi - professional baseball , and written and directed his first underground movies , mostly shot in manhattan without permits , guerrilla - style . \u201cafter being thrown out of the house , four schools , and the united states army , i discovered that i was on the right track , \u201d said downey .\n( 1964 ) . the story follows sandy studsberry , the meek \u201cpresident of the united status\u201d as he deals with an invasion from the red siamese and the antics of his own crazy cabinet , led by chester kitty - litter . all the attributes of early downey make their appearance here : absurd anything - can - happen plotting , amateur acting , dubbed audio , scenes filmed in public spaces , slapstick\nsilliness , and a single color sequence . with the exception of a few routines addressing racism ,\n. understandably , this broth concocted by an amateur chef is far thinner than the comedy stewed by groucho and crew .\ns sets are minimal ; the cabinet entertains ( then shoots ) luxembourg\u2019s ambassador while sitting on folding chairs on a beach , and at other times characters are filmed in public running up the steps of the capitol or other national monuments to lend a sense that they really are politicos going about their business . taylor mead plays the prez as a sleepy - eyed spaz , and there are plenty of absurd moments : the cabinet pauses to do calisthenics in an empty field while a jugband medley of patriotic favorites plays on the soundtrack , studsbury tries to talk his private secretary out of a trash can after he has a nervous breakdown , and a peace poet\u2019s monologue about enrolling in a negro college is interrupted by a parade of slaves . although there are occasional clever bits\u2014one of the cabinet members is dubbed \u201cthe fascist gun in the west\u201d and president studsbury is told he will be remembered as \u201ca retarded foster dulles\u201d\u2014for the most part the improvised comedy falls flat and feels juvenile . basically , it\u2019s just \u201cpublic figures\u201d acting like clowns\u2014and unscripted clowns , at that .\nfor inexplicable reasons , downey credited himself in his early films under the title \u201crobert downey ( a prince ) . \u201d it was a weird signature for a weird guy , who would only get weirder as his career built towards the ridiculous and sacrilegious greasers\u2019 palace . these first three films show a young auteur , warts and all , finding his footing and honing his skewed sense of satire . downey would find a modicum of success the year after he made no more excuses with the outrageous adverting spoof putney swope . each of his first three movies runs under and hour and could be watched back - to - back - to - back almost as a single piece . the eclipse series publishes them together on disc 1 of the 2 disc \u201cup all night with robert downey sr . \u201d set ( disc 2 contains swope and two tons of turquoise to taos tonight , an experiment which outweirded all previous downey attempts ) . no more excuses had been seldom seen since its debut , and eclipse restored the film from the only surviving print ; it\u2019s not the greatest movie of the 1960s but it would have been a shame to lose this piece of underground film history from one of cinema\u2019s few true originals . let\u2019s just hope jr . will be treating dad to a beer ( or even two ) with the advance he\u2019ll see from iron man iii . sr . \u2019s earned it ; he\u2019s truly a prince among men .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nenter your email address to subscribe to receive notifications of new posts by email .\n366 weird movies is a participant in the amazon services llc associates program , an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon . com . amazon and the amazon logo are trademarks of amazon . com , inc . or its affiliates .\nprivacy policy ( in brief ) : email addresses are required for posting comments , solely to verify your identity and to deter comment spam . we will not send you any commercial emails or solicitations . we use third -

lifting , with strong support from jones to back her up . really , the film seems confused by how sprawling it could be versus how effectively poignant it may be if the film felt a bit more consistent . the good news is , this film is far too interesting to write off . read the whole review at urltoken\nrage is an action packed , 16 -

the - radar methods before it even begins . transparency has its place , but it can also come across as a pre - emptive justification for the film ' s flaws .\nthis was the banlieue where la haine had been filmed , and i was here with my friend , producer geoff bird , to make a radio 4 programme , twenty years of hate , looking back at what it meant . our starting point was that the film could not have been made without the people around here , many of whom had featured in the film . we wanted to know how they felt about the film , its historic significance , and what , if anything , had changed since then .\nthis might be pardonable if we had a reason to like anybody . yet rage has few discernible heroes : even paul ' s primary backups , kane ( max ryan ) and danny ( michael mcgrady ) are so bland and indistinguishable that they could be the second cousins you confuse at a family reunion .\nsunday , jan 16 , 3 -

off meets man on fire but this film does not have any of the quality ' s that those films had . even though nicholas cage is starting to get his groove back , but sadly this film does not showcase anything special .\ni asked abdel how much had changed since 1995 . \u201cnothing much , \u201d he said . we talked about the riots here in 2014 , which were every bit as serious and confrontational with police as those of 1995 . as we chatted , we were followed by unmarked police cars , sharking between the narrow avenues of the area . youths stood look - out for the drug gangs at the edges of apartment blocks . \u201cit\u2019s still here , \u201d he said . \u201cit\u2019s all the same . \u201d\nanyway , this is a cage flick , if you couldn\u2019t tell . that\u2019s a term that has meant different things at different times , but nowadays it tends to involve a story where a family member ( usually a daughter ) is kidnapped or killed and cage is out for revenge . the high point of this era of cage flicks was drive angry , which was the best film of 2011 if you didn\u2019t see it . now , though , it\u2019s devolved through movies like stolen into films like rage . if there\u2019s one word that describes nicolas cage in rage , it\u2019s \u201ctired\u201d . he\u2019s just like , \u201cfuck . another one of these redbox classics ? \u201d we feel your pain . hell , the movie even includes this scene where cage helplessly looks at the script , trying to do anything but open it and start reading :\nit ' s hard to say this is the worst film nicolas cage has ever made - there are just too many contenders to choose from . but it ' s near the bottom .\nthe movie\u2019s portrait of kashmir is radical by bollywood standards . avoiding nationalist arguments , the film portrays the tragic human cost of the conflict and its netherworld of disappearances , military torture and extrajudicial killings .\nwhen an ex - mobster\u2019s daughter is found dead , the repressed return with a vengeance that feels more like a whimper in \u201crage , \u201d a silly and shopworn nicolas cage action vehicle that plays like a poor man\u2019s \u201ctaken , \u201d \u201cmystic river\u201d and \u201ca history of violence\u201d rolled into one . proficiently made but fatally unpersuasive in its portrayal of [ \u2026 ]\nkung fury was funded mainly through a kickstarter campaign , where people from all around the world showed their support for this crazy project . david worked on the film for a more than a year with almost no budget but a strong vision , with the help of friends and family . most of the film has already been shot , but additional filming and lots of visual effects remain to be done .\ni wanted to like this film . i really did . the main titles alone \u2014 animated with sharp , angular midcentury graphics \u2014 speak to a filmmaker ( dana verde ) with a sense of style .\nrage is an action packed , 16 -

smeared tom on the heath that inspires the outcast lear to ponder the state of \u201cunaccommodated man\u201d and to realize that we are all thus , in essence , even if our royal cloaks conceal it . mr . langella\u2019s eyes , which had been wide with inchoate rage , memorably narrow into the focus of recognition .\nof course , the main highlight of vip was the pulsating score composed by anirudh ravichander , which became a rage after release . however , sean roldan , who gave a soul - stirring album with pa paandi , is in charge of the music . in fact , apart from dhanush ' s solid screen presence , the main attraction of the trailer is sean ' s music .\nanthology film archives 32 second avenue tickets are $ 7 and are good for the whole night . tickets go on sale at 5 : 30pm the night of screening at the anthology box office and are available all night .\nin salon , andrew o\u2019hehir makes explicit what is perhaps less so in other reviews . the cultural debates over american sniper , he writes , \u201cdemonstrate how cultural works get reduced to \u2018politics\u2019 in the least interesting sense of that word . \u201d here , o\u2019hehir is voicing not only a lament about the regrettable way our public debates treat artworks , but also a traditional critic\u2019s complaint : in focusing on the content of the film \u2013 how many people the protagonist kills , or the degree to which the depiction of the character accords with the real - life man on whose autobiography the film was based \u2013 people are ignoring the film\u2019s notable formal elements . he closes his review by noting that \u201cthere\u2019s a level of sardonic commentary at work that is sometimes subtle and sometimes pretty damn obvious , \u201d and that at base the film was about \u201can american who thought he knew what he stood for and what his country stood for and never believed he needed to ask questions \u2026 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 . \u201d\nit was not all fear and misery however . this was also the year a new film had crash - landed into the french imagination , becoming ultimately a worldwide hit . the film was called la haine ( hate ) and was the story of three young men in one of the wretched housing projects outside paris , commonly referred to as la banlieue . the three lads were a north african , a black guy and an eastern european jew \u2013 an echo of the multiracial mix that would bring france victory in the 1998 world cup . they were cheeky , funny and likable \u2013 a gang of what the french call \u201c branleurs \u201d , which is literally translated as \u201cwankers\u201d but really means young guys who mess about . the core of the story was , however , that they were also full of rage \u2013 against the police , but ultimately against a society that has pushed them to the margins . much of the film\u2019s comedy as well as its social comment comes from the gang\u2019s misadventures in central paris , a world as distant and alien to them as america .\nfinally , here\u2019s a great shot of nicolas cage composing himself before delivering more dialogue in this film . sometimes , you just need a moment , you know ? just close your eyes , imagine the paycheck , and do it .\nin a career spanning over 15 years , dhanush has donned several characters . we ' ve seen him as psychopath lover in kadhal kondein . an innocent kaaru in aadukalam and a fierce gangster kokki kumar in pudhupettai . however , raghuvaran became a rage mainly because of his guy - next - door character . while we ' ve adored his innocence in vip , raghuvaran in vip 2 seems to have a lot of action scenes .\nthese are all intelligent takes , and they all share in some sense o\u2019hehir\u2019s gripe : people who wanted to politicize the film aren\u2019t really seeing it well . like many critics , these writers are to a greater or lesser degree formalists , and believe that to understand a film is to be aware of the subtleties of its construction , in addition to its content . this is what makes it so surprising that there is little mention in their reviews of how formally weak so much of the movie is .\nin the weeks after its release , not surprisingly , the film spawned a great deal of public controversy , which broke down along familiar liberal and conservative lines . the critical reception has been more nuanced , less willing to see the film as a blank political statement , and generally celebratory . richard brody , writing in the new yorker , explains that the film \u201ccontains valor and horror \u2013 the destructive and self - destructive conflicts that are intrinsic to a person endowed with a warrior\u2019s noble nature . as such , it\u2019s a cinematic tragedy in the deepest and most classical sense of the term . \u201d thomas powers , writing for the new york review of books , takes essentially the same approach , noting that the film is one of \u201cdisciplined art and moral complexity\u201d that presents an evolution from the \u201cgung - ho enthusiasm of young men eager to go forth and kick ass for the greatest country in the world , to the half - strangled confusion of men who have suffered and killed for reasons that slip away like water in sand . \u201d\nkassovitz was fearless too . when the film premiered at the cannes film festival \u2013 where it was a huge critical success \u2013 the police on duty turned their backs on kassovitz and his crew , perceiving the film as an anti - police polemic . kassovitz swaggered his way through the storm . inevitably , jean - marie le pen , then leader of the front national , stormed into the fray , calling for \u201cthese yobs to be sent to jail\u201d . kassovitz shrugged off the criticism . the fact that alain jupp\u00e9 organised a special screening for his cabinet more than proved the point : that in 1995 la haine seemed to describe exactly what was wrong with france . in one of its blackest years , it seemed both to capture the mood of the country and turn it into great art\nthe film , which opened internationally on oct . 2 , drew a fierce reaction on social media from hindu nationalists , who called for a boycott . kashmir , a disputed territory claimed by both india and pakistan , remains a sensitive subject on the indian subcontinent .\nvelai illa pattadhari was an important film for dhanush , as much it was for velraj , the cinematographer - turned - director . vip , which happened to be dhanush ' s 25th film , left an indelible mark among the tamil audience . sure , one might argue over the fact that it ' s a masala film of the highest degree . and that ' s true . in some ways , vip is also a textbook example of how to tell a masala story . for the same , writer - director velraj deserves credit . velai illa pattadhari tells the story of an unemployed youth raghuvaran ( dhanush ) , a civil engineer , who aspires to work in a core company . when everything falls in place , raghuvaran locks horns with a business tycoon arun subramaniam ( amitash pradhan ) .\nla haine , the controversial 1995 drama that held up a mirror to the social ills of modern france , arrived during a dark time in the country\u2019s history . twenty years on , with a sequel mooted and france again experiencing uncertain times , we reflect on the film\u2019s lasting significance\nit\u2019s just incredible , really . i couldn\u2019t take my eyes off of it for the entirety of the film , but in those first ten minutes , i understood what dave saw in the monolith . it\u2019s ok . it\u2019s alright . i can die now . i have found peace .\ni would like to be an extra in this film . i also have an 12 yr . old son and 10 yr . old daughter that would love the experience . is there any age requirements ? my phone number is 251 - 577 - 6825 . please call if you need anything .\nit is sad to see a film begin so well , relying on stunning visuals and an impressive performance by swank , and then go downhill in a second half that suffers from some serious problems of tone and does itself a great disservice by abruptly shifting the lead role from her to jones .\neven in the film\u2019s fourth week in theaters , the controversy surrounding it shows little sign of abating . it has been banned in pakistan , where the censors claimed \u2014 surprisingly , for a movie that casts a negative light on the indian state \u2014 that \u201chaider\u201d was \u201cagainst the ideology of pakistan . \u201d\nneither tragic or particularly unintentionally funny , rage slogs forward with blood - spurting pathos to an ultimately disingenuous twist conclusion , offering little more than a revenge relic pretending that the ethical treatise of a history of violence never happened . it\u2019s as if director paco cabezas relishes the shotgun - pumping climax of rolling thunder not as an end , but a methodology , since the film takes every opportunity to be as gruesome as possible . perhaps even this is giving cabezas too much credit , since his sophomoric , gut - check theatrics are more tailored to direct - to - video aesthetics , replete with atrocious dialogue like \u201ci need some help . can you meet me by the construction site ? \u201d and perpetual bursts of violence , ultimately amounting to an unsightly cinematic m\u00e9lange of bloodshed and mayhem , accompanied by grating heavy metal on the soundtrack .\nthe consensus back in paris , however , is that this wouldn\u2019t be a follow - up in the conventional sense but rather a much darker version of what was already a tough film . in the banlieue of bobigny i spoke to gilles favier , the photographer who had worked on the original film . he was clear about what had got worse in the banlieue . \u201cin 1995 i had my doubts whether a black guy , a jew and an arab would be friends , \u201d he said . \u201cbut now everything is much more divided . and this is because of the rise of political islam in the banlieue . this is what created more division and tension and so now it is not just youth against the police or the state , but also youth who are wanting to kill jews and go to syria . la haine was about friends and maybe some hope . nowadays i think you could only make a film about despair . \u201d\n\u201ci\u2019m not apologetic , or scared , or afraid , \u201d he said , noting that he had been denounced or threatened for his journalistic work on several occasions . \u201ci\u2019m proud of a lot of stories and moments in this film . within the limits of bollywood , we pushed things as far as we could . \u201d\nthis brings me back to my sympathy - for - cage theme . everybody gives nic a hard time for these paycheck roles in wretched movies\u2014and believe me ,\nrage\nis pretty wretched , a dull , lifeless thing even in spite of its efforts , old - school grindhouse picture - style , to put an exploitation - nihilist spin on the dad - with - action - movie - skills - on - the - rampage boilerplate\u2014but , you know , peter stormare actually used to work for ingmar bergman , and he earns no disapprobation for turning up in the likes of this , let alone for egregiously hamming it up as he does . one of the odd features of these latter - day wannabe b - pictures is the way they pander to their more ostensibly distinguished cast member , in this case giving the characters played by stormare , glover , and finally cage these big dramatic monologues , each filled with hot air lines such as \u201cnot everyone could get out as clean as you could . \u201d the only way to get out of\nrage\nclean is not to get into it in the first place .\ni hadn ' t seen this 1991 heist comedy until last week , and although it is not a lost masterwork , the film has its charms ( notably a terrific score and deep bench of acting talent ) . it ' s one of those movies that may not fully hang together , but it works in select moments .\nwednesday , march , 16 the power of letters in this creative writing workshop will be open to village leadership academy students ! workshop participants will begin with a walk -

nap teaching collective .\nvelai illa pattadhari 2 is impressive in terms of its supporting characters . the film has national award - winning actor samuthirakani playing dhanush ' s father , while amala paul retains her role as his raghuvaran ' s love interest . the success of velai illa pattadhari goes partly to saranya ponvannan , who left the audience teary - eyed .\nas for la haine , it\u2019s ironic that a film once held up as the mirror of all french social ills now seems to be , in retrospect , a document from a golden age . but these are difficult and dangerous days in france \u2013 and all the more the reason why la haine 2 is awaited with bated breath .\ni\u2019m still not entirely sure what happened in the film . nic does one of his standard \u201ccrazy eyes and yells\u201d at the val kilmer look alike before murdering him and i didn\u2019t get it . the twist is also super underwhelming as it just leads to a terrible misunderstanding bringing up old wounds and it never really was interesting beyond that .\nin the new york times , rachel saltz suggested that the movie \u201cgrafts its source story less convincingly to its setting\u201d than mr . bhardwaj\u2019s previous efforts while providing \u201cthe occasional sharp reminder of how cinematically he can construct shakespearean moments . \u201d over the weekend , \u201chaider\u201d won the people\u2019s choice award in the world genre category at the rome film festival .\nmr . peer said he felt that \u201chaider\u201d could chart a new direction . \u201cwhen i told vishal the basic premise , he had no problems with it , \u201d he said . \u201ci felt , this is already a big start . nobody in mumbai , nobody in the last 25 years in the film industry , had even come close . \u201d\nthe homesman\nis a remarkable western delving into numerous social issues all but ignored by other films of the genre ( such as the role of marriage , the church ' s role in society , women ' s role in society , and social standing ) . very good acting by all players and skilled directing by jones make this nearly action - free film well worth seeing .\nthe hindu front for justice , a group of rightist lawyers , petitioned india\u2019s allahabad high court to seek a ban on screenings of the film , arguing that \u201chaider\u201d was against the \u201cnational interest . \u201d mr . bhardwaj and mr . peer have until nov . 15 to reply . the movie is likely to complete its theatrical run in india by mid - november , in any case .\nthe film takes a more eccentric turn as the action relocates to rural connecticut , where brinnin stows thomas away in a desperate attempt at detoxification ahead of the poet\u2019s next scheduled speaking engagement . there , the boozy , beat - aspiring intervention of a local literary couple ( played by kevin eldon and shirley henderson , the latter in her most impishly neurotic form ) briefly pulls the film into burroughs - lite territory before a more sentimental streak kicks in . even at its most disheveled , however , \u201cstars\u201d retains a certain disciplined coziness . the deranged deterioration of thomas\u2019 psyche is successfully channeled in only one genuinely unnerving scene : a hallucinated , reproachful monologue from his wife caitlin , startlingly played by kelly reilly with enough concentrated erotic fury to steal the entire picture in a matter of minutes .\ngoing by the teaser , it ' s not surprising that soundarya rajinikanth has retained most of the elements that worked in the film ' s predecessor . though she made her directorial debut with superstar rajinikanth playing the titular role , kochadaiiyaan was a box - office dud . that said , soundarya is very likely to make a strong comeback with velai illa pattadhari 2 and is evident in the trailer .\nwhen an ex - mobster\u2019s daughter is found dead , the repressed return with a vengeance that feels more like a whimper in \u201c rage , \u201d a silly and shopworn nicolas cage action vehicle that plays like a poor man\u2019s \u201ctaken , \u201d \u201cmystic river\u201d and \u201ca history of violence\u201d rolled into one . proficiently made but fatally unpersuasive in its portrayal of internecine gang warfare , this thuggish melodrama piles on the foreign accents and paint - by - numbers brutality , all served up with a grim , operatic self - seriousness that gives cage\u2019s antihero little room to maneuver . spanish genre helmer paco cabezas\u2019 english - language debut will find a few fans on vod , where it\u2019s rolling out simultaneously with its limited theatrical release .\nabout halfway through we ( he and director bill duke ) were looking at a scene , and i turned to bill and said ' you know , that wasn ' t quite as funny as it was in the script . and i don ' t know why . ' and he said to me , ' we ' re not making no g - - damn comedy . ' i ' d raised the entire money for this film on the basis that it was a comedy . it was chester himes , it was supposed to be funny . and a shiver went down my spine and i hoped that bill was joking . but i realized he thought we were making ' porgy and bess ' and from there on in , i had to be on that film , on that set all the time .\nthere is again something oddly revealing , i think , in this rather gentle attempt to turn another of the film\u2019s formal deficiencies into a strength . to create a plot about a rather plotless situation \u2013 a sniper doing four tours \u2013 eastwood and his screenwriter create not one , but two individual villains for kyle to defeat . the first is a particularly nefarious iraqi henchman \u2013 \u201cthe butcher\u201d \u2013 and the second is the enemy sniper mustafa . in terms of a war film , this is a childish decision : it reduces a large - scale situation of chaos and violence into a morally manageable , small - scale scenario in which \u201cbad guys\u201d are identified and put down . to slide past this , we insist that it\u2019s not really a war film at all , but a western , and further that the character of mustafa isn\u2019t ridiculous \u2013 he\u2019s evil , he dresses in black \u2013 but is actually a symbolic representation of the \u201csavagery\u201d in kyle\u2019s own heart . ( one is tempted to ask how far this symbolism goes . of what are the kid and woman in the first scene symbolic ? how about the iraqi who is hiding in a palm tree and falls rather comically into the midst of the american troops when kyle kills him ? )\nfor some reason , they had water on the camera lens during this scene and didn\u2019t bother to clean it . so this entire sequence is slightly blurry , and the technical incompetence behind the scenes on this film obscures the majesty of cage\u2019s flowing mane . this is up there with vic morrow\u2019s death on the set of the twilight zone in terms of horrible filmmaking , and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves .\nnot to be confused with the disposable 1989 eddie murphy vanity project\nharlem nights ,\nthe movie is adapted from the chester himes crime novel of the same name . its pulpy 1950s setting straddles the line between comedy and hard - boiled \u2014 though not always successfully . tonally , there ' s something a little confused about the film . producer stephen woolley described tensions behind the camera a few years ago in an interview for bbc radio :\ntoward the end of the film , when kyle finally kills his nemesis , the evil enemy sniper mustafa , he places himself and his fellow soldiers in great danger . they\u2019ve been secreted on top of a building , and the enemy troops hear the shot and surround them . as the firefight begins , kyle calls his wife and tells her that he\u2019s ready to come home . things look bleak . fortunately , a massive sandstorm descends on the city , which gives kyle and his comrades a chance to escape . in the blurry running firefight that ensues , kyle is almost left behind . he symbolically and melodramatically loses his grip on his sniper rifle . we cut to a shot of the rifle lying on the ground , being covered over with blowing sand . it is a perfect image . not because of the metaphor the film seems to think it\u2019s making \u2013 look at this object of expertise and violence and manhood , wasted by the folly of the world . no , it\u2019s perfect because the baldness of the symbolism captures exactly the way the film\u2019s vision of itself as non - ideological is a poor mask for its ideology . it confuses pathos with the serious moral considerations incumbent in making art about the act of killing , and mistakenly believes that an argument for the wasted nobility of the warrior can be disconnected from an argument about the nobility of war .\nthis sequence is an object lesson in narrative cynicism . it presents us with what is purportedly a moment of real tension , involving the possibility of shooting an innocent child : kyle reports to his superiors that he believes he sees a grenade ; his spotter notes that if he\u2019s wrong he\u2019s going to prison . but we have seen very clearly that the kid is in fact holding a grenade . the composition and clarity of the shots leave no doubt in our minds . thus , the film builds an edifice of serious moral danger , while at the same time resolving that danger in advance ; it allows us to wallow in the threat of the moment while knowing the whole time that it will be okay in the end . what is presented as peril is nothing more than a disguised confirmation of infallibility : kyle will not \u2013 here or anywhere else in the film \u2013 kill someone who does not deserve it .\nlargely a two - hander , or a two - seater , \u201c # stuck\u201d sticks with a man and a woman who are cooped up together during an interminable los angeles traffic jam , and every minute of their captivity is keenly felt . all they start with in common is a drunken hookup the night before , and this allows the film\u2019s writer and director , stuart acher , to lead us down a nattering road to mutual appreciation and triumph over shame .\nthe ever - committed actor is invariably the most interesting thing in whatever schlock he turns up in , and that\u2019s the case with\nrage ,\na payback thriller that\u2019s not quite a gloss on\ntaken .\nthe reason he\u2019s the most interesting thing here is not because his performances is particularly intense or eccentric but because everything around him is so wretchedly dull . \u201cpete , i\u2019m out of the game , you know that , \u201d cage\u2019s character , paul , announces to a character named pete , aptly enough , early on in the movie ; dialogue like that only means the character\u2019s going to be drawn back into the game at some point in the movie . paul is a one - time criminal turned building contractor , which is a great profession for a one - time criminal to be in because there\u2019s so little corruption in that field .\nthis was dazzling cinema but most importantly , it was the first time the banlieue had ever been represented to a mainstream french audience . the film was an immediate and massive hit and galvanised the part of france that knew the banlieues existed but had never seen them up close or dealt with in a sympathetic way . the director of la haine , mathieu kassovitz , was then only 26 years old , but he had somehow managed to rewrite everything that people thought they knew about french cinema .\nszoka declines to dig up more than a smattering of old photos ; old snapshots are a documentary trope but a reliable one for a reason . context is everything , and it ' s not so much that rain is an unreliable narrator but that the film is missing any kind of outside perspective . visually , the camera rarely strays anywhere beyond the inside of the theater where rain performs and a few glimpses on her on the beach with child . it all feels so contained . too contained .\nstill , there\u2019s a lot of content in that hair , and nicolas cage makes this movie worth watching because of it . if that isn\u2019t the sign of a great actor , i don\u2019t know what is . the film itself is so depressing and boring that i\u2019m glad cage had the foresight to give us something to talk about . so , i\u2019d like to spend the rest of this review sharing the remaining screenshots i took with all of you . let\u2019s take a look at a side view :\nthe homesman is a thoroughly depressing experience with little energy . the idea of throwing a feminist and a curmudgeon on a road trip is inspired . but our central duo are not nearly engaging as they should be . it ' s mostly forgettable except for a few amusing moments . out of the blue a grizzled tommy lee jones gets up and dances a zesty jig while singing by the campfire . in another scene , he torches a hotel in a spiteful rage and that got my pulse quickening a bit . oh james spader ' s pompous hotelier is another high point in a production that usually operates a constant low . the story is inert . to make matters worse , a late dramatic development just happens abruptly . the perplexing act ostensibly motivated by religious guilt . the script is frustratingly cloudy on that point and when the chronicle isn ' t vague , it ' s just dull . urltoken\nhow , given this context , does american sniper operate as a revisionist western ? it presents us with exactly the ideological metaphor \u2013 the innocent sheep , evil wolves , and noble sheepdog \u2013 that is under attack from much of the revisionist western tradition . and it never seriously challenges this metaphor . clearly , the central assertion of the film is that there are strong men who represent the paragon of \u201cmanhood\u201d and who pay a heavy price for defending the rest of us . ( this is the point of richard brody\u2019s invocation in his review of the \u201cwarrior\u2019s noble nature . \u201d ) kyle is a born sheepdog . there are wolves out there \u2013 nearly every iraqi presented in the film is shown to be evil , and to have no legitimate reason for their actions , other than their evilness . there are sheep , too . these are the american public and kyle\u2019s family , of course , but also the american soldiers who are weaker , or who doubt the war , are less manly than kyle . all of them need to be protected .\nnew delhi \u2014 the bollywood director vishal bhardwaj has made his name by adapting shakespeare into film , using the plays to reflect the violence and vicissitudes of modern india . \u201c maqbool , \u201d an adaptation of \u201cmacbeth , \u201d was set in the mumbai underworld ; \u201c omkara \u201d transported \u201cothello\u201d to the feudal badlands of northern india . his latest effort , a loose adaptation of \u201chamlet\u201d called \u201c haider , \u201d which takes place in kashmir during the turbulent 1990s , has become the most acclaimed and contentious bollywood movie of the year .\nit\u2019s in groping for the full weight of tragedy that \u201crage\u201d turns risible . cabezas ( \u201cneon flesh\u201d ) has a weakness for treating cliches like epiphanies : the moment of caitlin\u2019s disappearance is signaled by the ominous plop of a raindrop , and laurent eyquem\u2019s dramatic score tends to surge excessively whenever the characters raise their voices , which is fairly often . one sequence at the end , played out in agonizing slow - mo , has the perhaps unintended effect of momentarily turning the picture into a gun - control ad . cage , still an agile and inventive performer ( see david gordon green\u2019s recent \u201cjoe\u201d ) , isn\u2019t well served by the solemn , bludgeoning tone of the proceedings ; his occasional outbursts and the movie\u2019s title aside , the actor actually seems somewhat straitjacketed here . still , he fares better than danny glover , who plays a world - weary detective forced to utter lines like \u201ca rap sheet as long as my dick . \u201d\nthe semi - contemporary classic ode to journalism all the president ' s men by bob woodward and carl bernstein , which chronicles the washington post ' s watergate investigation , is experiencing a revival . book sales are on the rise and the la times this week reported that it may get a made - for - tv makeover . additionally , there may even be a tv or film version of the duo ' s sequel , the final days , which recounts the days inside the white house leading up to president richard nixon ' s resignation .\nand then , when you arrive , it all starts to feel a bit weird . this is mainly because chanteloup is a cheaply built piece of 1960s brutalism , grafted on to the french countryside . like nearly all of the most notorious french banlieues , it has the queasy artificiality of a science - fiction set . this strangeness is captured in the film when vinz , who is not sure if he is stoned or not , sees a cow wandering through the estate\u2019s concrete alleyways . weirder still are the giant frescoes of the poets rimbaud , baudelaire and others that dominate the market square . these were well - meant gestures of cultural aspiration from the 1960s \u2013 but today the effect is orwellian , like a big picture of ts eliot glowering down at you in tower hamlets . i asked my newfound mates at the sfenj stall if they recognised the images and whether they meant anything to them . they all shrugged with indifference . \u201cto us , they\u2019re just like a cultural gestapo , \u201d said abdel moulah bouloudji , who featured in the original film . \u201cnothing to do with us . \u201d"]}

and just about everyone else as well .\nbooklist starred review read\nyes , it ' s small but for all its smallness it packs quite a punch . i read it a few weeks ago and i ' ve not been able to stop talking to friends about it and i ' ve not been able to stop thinking about it . i don ' t know why . some books just have this bit of magic about them and tall story has a lot of magic .\n( l -

' ( tracy bennett / sony pictures )\namandolina ( andi ) knows her life is in for a change when she learns that her half - brother bernardo is moving from the philippines to live with her and her parents in england . people have always said bernardo is\ntall\nbut at eight feet he towers over everyone - taller even than andi ' s hero michael jordan . at his home in the philippines , bernardo ' s height is considered a mark of good fortune . though he longs to reunite with his family , he fears leaving his superstitious neighbors behind . tall story is a tale of family , friendship , wishes , and curses with a twist of folklore blended into a story of growing up . the book is told in alternating chapters by andi and bernardo and author candy gourlay does a remarkable job giving each character a unique perspective and voice . though their situations are original they both face awkwardness and adjustments that any young adult can relate to but the heart of this story is a theme of love and family that will charm readers of any age .\na beautifully constructed book , well - written and full of humour , magic and pathos . this is storytelling at it ' s finest . it ' s a story about wishes and being careful of your wishes - because they may not come true in quite the way you expect . from the start , candy gourlay draws you into the worlds of fire - cracker andi and bernardo , the giant - a brother and sister who have lived at opposite sides of the world - one in london , one in the phillipines . and herein lies candy gourlay ' s great strength - the ability to draw on her own multiculturalism ( born in the phillipines , living in london ) , she creates vivid worlds which she brings easily to life . it is evident in the storytelling , that candy gourlay clearly has known a depth of human experience , and it is reflected in her writing as the story weaves through hopes and dreams , rejection and acceptance , love and misunderstanding . it reflects too in the characters she creates , characters so alive you feel you could reach out and touch them . for me , the true richness of tall story lay in the effortless creation of a world of magical realism - yes , there is , as the previous reviewer said , some predictability but the mythological element which runs throughout the story always keeps one guessing . tall story is a truly special book , one that will always stand out from the crowd .\nswish , swish , swish this book surprised me . not that i thought it would be a bad book , but it was much better than i hoped . i picked it pretty much on its cover , and the fact that it was available right then as an audio book . ; ) the story is not all about basketball . it is the tale of a boy ' s unique journey through and perspective on life as a giant . it is the story of a basketball loving girl who is finally becoming a little sister . it is the story of a filipino village , their culture and lege\nwhat you want is not always what you get . even when your wishes come true andi desperately hopes her long lost half - brother bernardo will be as mad on basketball as she is . but when he steps off the plane from the philippines , she cannot believe her eyes . she hasn ' t seen him for ten years , but even so , how did he get to be eight foot tall ? an eight -

life persona as an independent , liberated woman , instead here portraying a flirtatious , man - crazy college girl studying home economics and determined to land herself a husband . besides this being fonda ' s film debut ,\ntall story\nalso marks the film debut of robert redford in a supporting role . you also have solid supporting performances from ray walston , murray hamilton , and gary lockwood . overall ,\ntall story\nis a breezy and enjoyable comedy , though thoroughly lightweight .\nchildren will be enchanted by this endearing larger -

sister live in england , bernardo lives in the philippines in hopes of making it back to england one day . when his wish comes true , however , he has a hard time dealing with the hustle and bustle and unfamiliar feel of his family and home . will he be able to adjust ? amandolina has always lived in england and has only met her older half - brother once when he was six years old . when she sees how tall he is , she hopes he loves basketball as much as she does . the initial thrill of a brother soon wears off , though , and the stresses of adapting to the change in schools , houses , and family starts eating away at her . will she also be able to adjust ? a fun , lively rendition of a modern - day folktale . the characters are well - developed , and the story is likable and holds the reader ' s interest . those who like realistic fiction , books about blended families , and school stories will enjoy reading tall story .\nnote : to validate the ctbuh tall building height calculator , the actual height of 15 buildings in each of the three categories has been compared to the height as determined by the height calculator . the estimated and actual heights are presented with the aggregated variance .\nperhaps most notable as jane fonda ' s screen debut ,\ntall story\nis also remarkable for what it didn ' t do for anthony perkins : define his acting career . released the same year as hitchcock ' s classic thriller\npsycho ,\ntall story\nshows the charming , naive and humorous side of perkins . he stars as ray blent , custer ' s star basketball player and star student who finds himself caught in an ethical nightmare just before the biggest game of his life against the russian sputniks . fonda is adorable as a cunning co - ed whose one aim in college is to snare the unwitting ray . unfortunately , we didn ' t see more perkins characters like this one because the actor was typecast as a psychotic madman following his admittedly excellent portrayal of norman bates in\npsycho .\nthis movie shows the virtuosity of a great actor who regretfully didn ' t get the chance to demonstrate his full range of acting skills more often .\nso few books with filipino characters so i was very excited to pick this one up to help diversify my reading and my classroom library . the dialogue switches from sister andi to brother bernardo and gourlay does a masterful job of giving each of them their own unique voice that positively shines through . in my process to vet books for read alouds for my 7th graders , having alternating narrators only works if it is supremely well crafted and tall story fit the bill . the interwoven bits of science ,\ndahil sa ganda ng pabalat nito at disenyo , nakuha nito ang aking atensyon para bilhin ang aklat na ito . base pala ito sa mga tunay na pangyayari pero sa magkaka -

in - law rooney .\nit is an amazing feat of doggedness and determination and the result , which can be seen in the trailer , cannot be done justice by a few words in the argus . the high production values shine through in it and , if this is a taste of what ' s to come next year , wild goose lodge is going to be a huge hit .\nfilmed around louth and in carrickmacross also , several local people from around louth and the north east feature as extras in the film .\n2016 marks the 200th anniversary of the wild goose lodge burning , in which eight people died . it led to the execution of 18 men for the crime \u2013 many of them innocent . in early 1816 , an attempted armed robbery took place in at the lodge , which led to the trail and execution of three ribbonmen \u2013 patrick shanley , philip conlon and michael tiernan \u2013 for their part .\n' i started it about six years ago . i always had a passion for the story and for films and this was the first i ' d made . around two and a half years ago , paul mcardle , who had written plays about wild goose lodge , came on board . the pair of us working together was just meant to happen .\nand they were delighted to find out that when they approached actors to take part , they were only too delighted to do so as the story of wild goose lodge resonated with them . and to add even more to their good fortune , the producers were thrilled when finbar furey not only agreed to write the music , but got a part in the movie too .\ndirected and produced by william martin with paul mcardle , the feature is based on a play about the wild goose lodge murders which was played by the aclint drama group and was partly performed in the old courthouse in ardee castle back in 2013 . over 100 people saw the acclaimed play then , but now , the story is set to be seen by a considerably wider audience . it was also been performed in dundalk .\nthe result of this community effort and joint passion for this story will be hitting screens in 2016 . the significance of the date is not lost on mr martin , or anyone else involved in the wild goose lodge movie . he said : ' it ' s exactly 200 years since these events , and is being released in the centenary year of the easter rising . it explores a lot of the themes that still exist in ireland and we hope it will strike a chord with people ' .\nthey also chose not to work with shirley\u2019s daughter , artist and filmmaker wendy clarke , whom they never bothered to contact ( and go out of their way to mock in the film ) . jason and shirley even features a title card in the closing credits thanking wendy , implying that she has given her approval for the film . in truth , wendy\u2019s response , when she finally saw jason and shirley , was : \u201ci don\u2019t want people seeing this film to think there is any truth to it . this film tells nasty lies and is a parasitic attempt to gain prominence from true genius . \u201d\n\u2022 to laurence kardish , senior film curator at moma , for his extraordinary 44 years of service , including this year\u2019s weimar cinema retrospective .\nthe film lasts two hours and was premiered in new york in march earlier this year , while cast and crew of the film marched in new york\u2019s st patrick\u2019s day parade . the trailer ( which you can watch below ) was debuted at the 2015 national ploughing championships and members of the cast were out in force once again at this year\u2019s event as the promotion push ramps up ahead of october 28th .\nin the twenty - five years that we have been running milestone films , we have never before reviewed or commented publicly on anyone else\u2019s film\u2014except to recommend it . but we have now encountered a new feature film that purports to \u201csatirize\u201d a film and a filmmaker we represent and have spent years researching . while we are absolute believers in freedom of speech and artistic expression and do not dispute that the producers , writers and stars of jason and shirley have every right to make their \u201cre - vision\u201d of the making of shirley clarke\u2019s great documentary portrait of jason , we feel we must go on the record about the film\u2019s inaccurate and simplistic portrayals of a brilliant filmmaker and her charismatic subject .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 -

the - scenes to make it happen .\nin october of that year , the lodge was surrounded by around 100 ribbonmen and set alight in an act of revenge . the eight occupants of the building at the time \u2013 including a five month old infant - all died . the film covers the robbery , the arson attack and the subsequent trial and execution of 18 men .\nbut none of it would have come together without the support and passion of the local people of reaghstown . mr martin said : ' the support we received from them was unbelievable . the oldest person involved in the film was nearly 100 , while the youngest was just three months old .\nmr martin said : ' we were very lucky with the launch . anna may mchugh , who organises the ploughing championship and her daughter , anna marie , are both in the film and they were instrumental in getting us the launch last month .\nnow , the dream of putting this true story of revenge , injustice and betrayal onto the big screen is almost a reality with the launch last month of a stunning trailer for the movie , which took place at the national ploughing championships - the first time a film has ever been launched at the ratheniska venue .\nworking with the wonderful ucla film & tv archive , we were able to create beautiful prints and digital elements for the connection and ornette , which we released in theaters in 2012 ( to a chorus of rave reviews ) . but when we began investigating clarke ' s astonishing portrait of jason , we quickly learned that releasing film was going to be a lot more complicated .\n* the only time we didn ' t entirely self finance was when director steven soderbergh gave us a substantial contribution to help clear the music rights for charles burnett ' s killer of sheep . it was a no - questions , no - conditions gift which enabled us to release that glorious film . we will always be grateful for his timely generosity and love for film .\nit is hoped the film , which will be around two hours , will get a distribution date for cinema release in the first quarter of next year . but this is a long way from where it started .\nand what makes this movie sparkle is the fact that it is all filmed on location close to where wild goose lodge stood . and while it features some well - known irish stars , such as dave duffy ( leo in fair city ) , joe rooney ( from father ted ) , shane byrne ( former irish rugby player who featured in mrs brown ' s movie ) , john connors ( love hate ) , voice of ireland winner brendan mccaghey and michael collins ( glenroe ) , it also features a lot of louth talent too .\n) and even more so , that the films of shirley clarke are getting recognized by the critics once again . and we ' re just as happy that our friend larry kardish won as well ! on graduating from college , larry ' s first job was at the film - makers distribution center where he was responsible for the distribution of portrait of jason ! he went on to become the head programmer of the moma film department and has been a friend of ours since we started milestone . congrats to shirley and larry !\nin the very beginning , there is a title card stating that the filmmakers were denied access to the outtakes of portrait of jason . these recordings were available for all to hear at the wisconsin center for film and theater research , where all of shirley\u2019s archives can be found\u2014or by contacting milestone . in fact , all the outtakes ( 30 minutes of audio ) were released on november 11 , 2014 as a bonus features on milestone\u2019s dvd and blu - ray of the film . that was six months before jason and shirley was completed .\non behalf of milestone , wendy clarke , and shirley clarke\u2019s extended family and friends , we respectfully ask film fans not to base their appraisal of clarke and her filmmaking on the unkind depictions in jason and shirley .\nclarke\u2019s first feature , the connection , a fiction film based partly on real people , has enormous respect for all its characters , an understanding of humanity , and a love for cinema . shirley knew that a genuine artist values inner truth , whether the film is a documentary or a dramatic feature . and of course , shirley did not use real names . she knew that when you use real people\u2019s names and identities , you need to seek and explore the truth in all its complexities . ornette : made in america , a film that she and ornette coleman were very proud to create , is an example of clarke\u2019s quest for meaning and authenticity .\nthe film ends with a title card stating that shirley died in new york ( which is simply incorrect ) and that carl lee died of a heroin overdose . tragically , lee died of aids and this information is in the milestone press kit .\nthis all happened against the background of land agitation in ireland , 20 years after the failed 1798 rebellion and 25 years before the great famine . and , of course , exactly 100 years before the easter rising . the fact this movie is set at such a pivotal time in irish history just makes it all the more remarkable that no - one has made a film about it before now .\nhere at milestone , we are constantly grappling with history . whenever we choose to restore a film , we try to research and explore every aspect of the filmmaker ' s time and work . we study the participants ' biographies , the social mores and political landscape of the time and even the day - to - day minutia of the filmmaking process . it is exhilarating and exhausting and essential .\nportrait of jason may be clarke ' s boldest and most influential film - - and it is certainly one of her funniest , saddest and most outrageous . over the course of one evening , clarke turned her camera on the jason holliday and let him tell his story - - or more accurately , stories . because , holliday ( born aaron payne ) was a man of many tales . over the course of his film - long monologue , holliday talks about his life as a black gay man - - touching on love , work , drugs , and sex . a some - time cabaret performer , he spins hilarious tales , shadowboxes with candor , and breaks your heart . the film is one of the very first lgbt films made , and one of the most honest and self - revealing . it is simply amazing .\nthe filmmakers have labeled jason and shirley a satirical work of fiction . we are just not sure who or what they claim to be satirizing . the film is not ironic , humorous , sardonic or tongue - in - cheek . we can only surmise that they are deliberately parodying the idea of cinematic integrity .\nthere is an academy award \u00ae statue for robert frost : a lover\u2019s quarrel with the world in \u201cshirley\u2019s\u201d apartment and the other characters repeatedly mock her for it . the film did win an oscar \u00ae , but although she received directing credit , shirley had been fired from the final edit and producer robert hughes picked up the award . ( you can see this on youtube at urltoken )\nwinter and his team call their film an \u201cimagination\u201d of the night ( although they stage the filming during the day ) of december 3 , when shirley clarke shot portrait of jason . but interestingly , they only use the real names of those participants who have died : clarke , jason holliday and carl lee ( perhaps because you cannot libel the dead ) . they did not interview the people who were on the set that long night and who are still around\u2014filmmakers bob fiore and jim hubbard .\nisn ' t it nice to have a brother than works in the theatre ! the 34 year old cecil b . demille got his inspiration to direct this film from his brother ' s ( william demille ) stage play of the same title . when he wasn ' t collaborating with jeanie macpherson or adapting novels , he merely drew inspiration from his brother .\nwe also find \u201cjason\u201d in winter\u2019s film to be a one - dimensional and disrespectful distortion of the very complicated man who was born aaron payne in 1924 . jason holliday\u2019s life was difficult in many ways\u2014as a gay black man he experienced police harassment , poverty , family rejection , imprisonment , painful self - doubt , and innumerable varieties of personal and institutional racism . but he was also vibrantly an original , a self - invented diva , a survivor , and a raconteur of the first order who was the inspiration for his own cinematic portrait . shirley decided to make her film in order to explore this extraordinary scheherazade\u2019s 1001 stories\u2014and the fragile line between his reminiscences and his inventions .\nshirley clarke was wild , creative , brilliant , graceful , challenging , incredibly stylish , vibrant , and alive with the possibilities of life . at home at the center of many creative circles in new york city and around the world , she was adored by countless admirers\u2014despite ( or sometimes because of ) her faults and failings . and shirley is still loved by those who remember her\u2014the people who worked on her films , her friends , her family , and the audiences who are rediscovering her great films . she was incredibly special . the misshapen caricature of clarke in jason and shirley insults and trivializes a great artist and pioneer .\nhover over the profile pic and click the following button to unfollow any account .\nshame they missed the other bug that eventually revealed the location of their base .\nthe investigation ended with the trial and execution of a total of 18 men .\non march 7 , the closter planning board met and voted against historic designation of the church . they were , it seems , worried about the effect of the church ' s landmark status on the redevelopment of the k -

well , we shouldn\u2019t really judge a film that\u2019s 40 years old through a modern , more cynical lens . however , there\u2019s no getting around the fact that blood and lace is a badly made film . even my contemporaries from decades ago were bemused by this drive - in filler . its poor editing and shoddy sound scream of a time when you spent as little as possible to recoup as much profit as possible .\nwith striking animated menus and a great array of supplements , vci\u2019s revisitation of blood and black lace gets an a for effort , though the transfer is lacking . still , it\u2019s definitely worth the low retail price and a recommended purchase in that respect . ( george r . reis )\n\u201cof course , blood and lace is not for everybody . it\u2019s acting is amateurish in spots , the story and the character\u2019s behavior push credibility often and the whole business is drive - in trashy . the soundtrack , which comes across as random records being played , is the biggest drawback\u2026\u201d kindertrauma\ntim lucas starts out his typically excellent audio commentary for the recent arrow films restoration of mario bava\u2019s blood and black lace with an anecdote about ernst lubitsch . apparently the director told a visitor to the set of heaven can wait that technicolor worked best with musicals and comedy , and should never be used for drama or mysteries . lucas presents blood and black lace as the prime exhibit that lubitsch\u2019s reasoning is incorrect . with the synchronicity that runs my life at this juncture , i watched another movie afterwards that also contested it , only earlier .\nunfairly obscure - and not to be confused with mario bava ' s rather better known giallo , blood and black lace - it ' s easy to see why this early 70 ' s trash epic has often been described as the ' sickest pg movie ever made ' .\nin retrospect , the violence in blood and black lace is both better and worse than contemporary reviews suggest . the gore in the film certainly has not stood the test of time ; bava\u2019s small flourishes of blood and makeup are no match for the flayed dogs of lucio fulci\u2019s a lizard in woman\u2019s skin or even bava\u2019s subsequent impalements in the 1971 giallo twitch of the death nerve . however , the uncomfortable blend of the film\u2019s vibrant style with constant violence towards women makes blood and black lace something of a horror - anachronism . the film aspires to the aesthetics of hitchcock but has a cruel streak that feels , perhaps unfortunately , years ahead of its time .\nblood and lace is a 1970 american horror thriller feature film directed by philip gilbert from a screenplay by co - producer gil lasky ( spider baby ; the night god screamed ) . co - producer ed carlin also handled the evil ( 1978 ) and superstition ( 1982 ) .\n\u201cmurdering mannequins is sheer , wanton waste . and so is blood and black lace , the super - gory who - dunit , which came out of italy to land at neighborhood houses yesterday sporting stilted dubbed english dialogue , stark color and grammar - school histrionics . \u201d ( new york times , 1965 )\nthe source , that revealed the dress was the gown from her special day , told the paper : ' she ripped it to shreds and covered it with blood splashes . she even joked she wished it was stephen ' s blood .

driven , and thrives on its visuals and strong use of color . and while each review seems happy to link mario bava to cinematic excess , the nature of this link has changed over time .\n' she finally found use for it !

fledged body count movie which emphasises the killings above all else though is probably blood and black lace , an evocative title , but not as descriptive of what the film\u2019s about as its original title which translates as six women for an assassin . mario bava proved himself to be ahead of his time in many of his movies , and his the girl who knew too much [ 1963 ] can be called the first giallo , but none of his films are as historically important as blood and black lace , which not only refined the style of the giallo but basically created the template that would be followed by friday the 13th et el . compared with many of the films it spawned , it\u2019s quite low on bloodshed , but unlike many of them , it has a complicated storyline that you really have to concentrate on while also being gorgeously shot in the usual bava manner .\ndr . martens ( a . k . a . doc martens ) : brand of durable boots popular with skinheads as well as young people in all walks of life , though skins lace the boots differently ( see\nstraight - laced\n) and wear either red or white laces .\nas if things couldn\u2019t get worse for ellie she realizes that the man she believes is responsible for killing her mother begins stalking her and others at the orphanage . as far as slasher villains go , blood and lace has one of the scariest . he\u2019s a big guy who kind of lumbers around , hammer in hand , but he does so while wearing a truly hideous mask . it sort of looks like burned skinned . almost like freddy krueger but more terrifying . it\u2019s really thin and has a very wrinkly texture . it\u2019s incredibly disturbing . if i saw someone in this mask i would totally freak out .\ni enjoyed the creepy atmosphere , score and those early 70s feels . unfortunately i found the dialogue and\u2026\nwhen the royal bride was foreign , the dress became part of a jostling for power . in 1863 , before the wedding of albert edward , prince of wales ( later edward vii ) to princess alexandra of denmark , it emerged that alexandra already had a belgian lace dress . queen victoria , however , made it abundantly clear that this would not do at all , and dispatched courtiers to denmark to fit the bride for an english - made dress and a veil of honiton lace . by way of compromise , the princess carried red geraniums , the national flower of denmark , in her bouquet .\nrecovery and regeneration this is a stone that can encourage recovery and regeneration after a severe illness . epidote helps to lift the emotions , and also helps to dissolve sadness , sorrow , self -

ray of bava\u2019s the whip and the body a short while ago which totally botched the incredible look of the film , virtually anything would have been an improvement for me , but blood and black lace comes onto blu - ray with a release from arrow that is superb in every way , from the complete restoration of the film from scratch which makes bava\u2019s extraordinary colour schemes even more amazing to look at and even vastly improves the sound of the dialogue , to the comprehensive collection of special features . this giallo fan almost hit the roof with joy at things like helene cattet and bruno forzani talking about bava \u2013 two geniuses praising another \u2013 or dario argento and lamberto bava discussing bava and alfred hitchcock . like arrow\u2019s day of anger , this set is available on both region a and region b and is undoubtedly the definitive release of this seminal film .\nlike blood and black lace , peeping tom is in eastmancolor , and though not as lurid as the op - art palette of bava , this is still the director who manipulated color so brilliantly in black narcissus and the red shoes . the color here is lush and realistic , giving the world an unmistakable texture ; it is no mistake that mark\u2019s murder movies are shot in black and white . realistically , it\u2019s a process he can perform in his own home darkroom , but in the world of this disturbed young man , it is also easily managed , stark . it allows him to concentrate on the fear of his victims , undistracted . and as i believe hitchcock himself once stated about psycho , black and white can be distancing , a reminder it\u2019s only a movie . or maybe it was kubrick , talking about shooting lolita in monochrome .\nblood and black lace has followed me around all my life , it seems . it was released in the us in 1965 , which would put me at eight years of age , already a veteran reader of famous monsters of filmland ; it made enough of a splash that i determined that this was something i needed to see . a bit of confusion led me , a few years later , to watch a late night tv showing of blood and roses ( and talk about being even more confused later \u2013 i was much too young for vadim , even edited for tv ) . so it\u2019s actually taken me something like half a century to see this movie , and watching just the opening credits unfurl , all ravishing color and dark wit , lets me know the wait for this version was worth it . ( this sequence was replaced for the american release with one by filmation , included on the disc as an extra . macabre , but much less colorful . much . )\nbalance & stability polychronic jasper is also known as desert jasper it represents the earth and is a grounding stone that promotes stability and balance in life . it balances the vibrations and emotional energies of the body , and is very nurturing . it helps to bring balance between assertiveness and sensitivity , bringing tranquillity and wholeness into your life , sustaining and supporting in times of stress . healing : supports the circulatory and digestive systems and the sexual organs . chakras : base , sacral & solar plexus\naragonite sputnick patience & reliability enhances patience , acceptance and the ability to take on more responsibility , it strengthens reliability and practicality . aragonite is an earth healer and grounding stone attuned to gaia . it transforms geopathic stress and clear blockages , deepening your connection to the earth . healing : warms the extremities and aids with nerve and muscle spasms and twitches , it helps to heal the bones and discs . chakras : base & earth chakraa\nblood and lace opens with a pov shot walking through a house and into a kitchen . the person searches through the kitchen until they find a hammer and begin to make their way to the second floor of the house . this opening scene is very similar to shots seen in halloween and black christmas . the audience is placed in the killer\u2019s shoes . the interesting thing about this shot , and other first - person shots similar to this one , is that the killer holds the hammer out in front of them as they walk . i get why this is done , to let the audience see the potential murder weapon , but if you really think about this it\u2019s kind of silly . would anyone ever hold out their weapon that way while walking ? i don\u2019t think so . this isn\u2019t really a complaint though and rather an observation .\nthe hue and color patterns of a newborn ' s skin may be startling to some parents . mottling of the skin , a lacy pattern of small reddish and pale areas , is common because of the normal instability of the blood circulation at the skin ' s surface . for similar reasons , acrocyanosis , or blueness of the skin of the hands and feet and the area surrounding the lips , is often present , especially if the infant is in a cool environment .\na cephalohematoma is a collection of blood that has seeped under the outer covering membrane of one of the skull bones . this is usually caused during birth by the pressure of the head against the mother ' s pelvic bones . the lump is confined to one side of the top of the baby ' s head and , in contrast to caput succedaneum , may take a week or two to disappear . the breakdown of the blood collected in a cephalohematoma may cause these infants to become somewhat more jaundiced than others during the first week of life .\ntranformation zebra marble aids transformation and self liberation helping you to overcome inner discontentment and unhappiness in life by opening up new perspectives and bring creative solutions to your problems . healing : eases allergies and fortifies the kidneys , spleen , intestines , muscle tissue and the skin . chakra : solar plexus\nas the original italian title translates as\nsix women for the murderer ,\nmario bava inaugurated the\nbody count\nfilm with the legendary blood and black lace . although the first\ngiallo\nis also credited to bava with 1963 ' s the girl who knew too much ( aka the evil eye ) , this time the director uses color - - although he was advised not to - - and formulates an incredibly visual , sadistic yet beautiful paradigm . bava set an unrivaled standard for italian\nwho done it\nthrillers , and countless imitators can be found , even in the american\nteen in peril\nmovement of recent years . vci originally released this title in late 2000 , and are here revisiting it with a different transfer , different packaging and several more supplements , now spread across two discs .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nnew beginnings moonstone is the stone of new beginnings and is strongly connected to the moon and helps connect you to your intuition and female energy . moonstone is uplifting and calming , it enhances psychic ability and calms reactions , aiding in self analysis . . healing : moonstone is a powerful calmer of emotions , helping to balance the emotions and to relieve anxiety and stress . it is also particularly helpful with female problems , digestion and reproductive organs . . chakras : sacral & heart\namplifies & cleanses calcite is a powerful amplifier and cleanser of energy , grounding you and bring joy and light heartedness into your life . it helps to balance the emotions , boosts the memory , calms the mind , alleviates stress , enhances trust in oneself and strengthens the ability to overcome setbacks connecting the emotions with the intellect . calcite helps over come laziness increasing and stimulating your energy . it is a spiritual stone that is linked to the higher consciousness , aiding spiritual development . healing : strengthens the teeth , bones and joints , helps the organs to eliminate toxins , aids skin conditions , blood clotting , heals tissue , opens and clears the eyes , fortifies the immune system , elevates fear and reduces stress . chakra : all chakras\namethyst calming & intuition amethyst is the stone of spirituality and contentment , it bestows stability , strength , inner peace . it is a great stone for meditation and enhancing your intuition and psychic abilities with its calming and peaceful energy . amethyst provides clarity and enhances conscious perception and understanding . healing : assists in calming the mind , reduces insomnia and allows restful sleep , reduces stress , eases headaches , helps with hormone production , strengthens the immune system , cleansing organs and respiratory system , reduces bruising and swelling . assists in the function of the pineal and pituitary glands . chakras : third eye & crownn\nwhen it comes to decorating a classic rustic sweetheart table , just remember the bunting . whether its in burlap , lace , or floral fabric , this mainstay of rustic chic decor looks adorable on your table . the couple below added a little glitz to their burlap with gold glitter letters .\nlove and peace rose quartz promotes unconditional love , forgiveness , infinite peace and compassion . it creates harmony in relationships and teaches us about the true essence of love . it purifies and opens up the heart allowing us to express our emotions . it reduces stress and tension , allowing us to express love , sensitivity and compassion towards ourselves and others . rose quartz brings a deep inner healing , enhancing self love , self trust , self worth and self confidence . it can be used to attract love into your life and maintain happy loving relationships . healing : strengthens the heart and circulatory system , releases impurities , aids in healing chest and respiratory problems , increases fertility .\nlike many of the giallo films that followed it , blood & black lace isn\u2019t very plot - heavy ; in fact it has the sort of plot that wouldn\u2019t be out of place in an episode of murder , she wrote as it really is a simple whodunnit . on a stormy night , an employee at a fashion boutique is murdered by a mysterious masked killer , who then begins to stalk and kill several of the employees as it comes to light that the murdered girl kept a diary , a diary that seemed to detail a lot of things about a lot of people who work in the boutique .\nthe salon setting is used in a highly ironic manner , its surface beauty revealing darkness below the surface . the costumes , the set dressings and so forth are often lovely to look at , but one is constantly aware that sordid activity could be taking place behind the scenes . there\u2019s a great tracking shot past some booths which was actually achieved by putting the camera on a child\u2019s toy , so low was the budget . another tracking shot has the camera actually bump into a mannequin , so obvious that it was surely intended to slightly jar the viewer . bava often seemed interested in fashion , possibly mostly for its visual possibilities , but always seemed to have a wry attitude to it . the police procedural scenes in blood and black lace come across as a little dull , with characters often taking ages to respond to others , and inspector sylvestre coming across as very weary as well as , in the end , ineffectual . perhaps bava was deliberately showing his own weariness with such scenes , but it does mean that blood and black lace is a touch uneven and almost seems like the work of two directors . it\u2019s not a major problem , because the film is overall so intriguing and clever , but i don\u2019t think it quite has the consistency of bava\u2019s very best four or five films . that\u2019s not to take anything away from it though , because it still exhibits more artistry than most other slasher films , and you can almost also say that dario argento took his whole aesthetic from this movie while also building on it .\nclears blocked energy dissipates blocked energy & negativity . assist grounding , centering and enhances awareness and dreams chakras : base & sacral\ni won\u2019t spoil it for you , but the ending of blood and lace is abolutely fitting for a movie of this ilk . i just felt filthy after everything came to a close . even though you can tell the story is going in the direction it ends up going , you really don\u2019t want it to because it\u2019s bad news for everyone . weird , just weird . that\u2019s basically all that needs to be said . weirdness aside , i think this is worth checking out . it\u2019s not nearly as good as slasher kings it clearly influenced , but it\u2019s without a doubt a unique viewing experience you won\u2019t soon forget .\nlove and peace rose quartz promotes unconditional love , forgiveness , infinite peace and compassion . it creates harmony in relationships and teaches us about the true essence of love . it purifies and opens up the heart allowing us to express our emotions . it reduces stress and tension , allowing us to express love , sensitivity and compassion towards ourselves and others . rose quartz brings a deep inner healing , enhancing self love , self trust , self worth and self confidence . it can be used to attract love into your life and maintain happy loving relationships . healing : strengthens the heart and circulatory system , releases impurities , aids in healing chest and respiratory problems , increases fertility . chakras : heart"]}

this post takes a view at some new initiatives . . . read more\nonce the author receives a decision for acceptance with major or minor revisions , he / she has to revise the manuscript based on the peer reviewer comments . the revised manuscript is then submitted to the journal along with a point - by - point response to the reviewer comments . a cover letter for a revised manuscript should be sent to the editor along with the author\u2019s responses to the reviewer comments . this letter is often called the response letter or the rebuttal letter .\nit is important to compose a good response letter to accompany the revised manuscript . a response letter or rebuttal letter can be written in two ways :\n1 . you write a cover letter and attach a separate document in which you have addressed the reviewer comments .\n2 . alternatively , your rebuttal letter can be divided into two sections : an introductory part addressed to the journal editor and a second part containing detailed responses to the reviewer comments .\nbegin the letter by mentioning the manuscript title and id . include a small paragraph thanking the reviewers for their valuable time and useful contribution . mention that you appreciate the inputs they have given and that their inputs will definitely help improve your manuscript . rebuttal letters that thank the referees set a positive tone right from the beginning .\nif you are including your responses in a separate document , add a paragraph that broadly summarizes the major changes that you have made in the manuscript based on the reviewers\u2019 comments . mention that you have attached a document containing point - by - point responses to the reviewers\u2019 comments . if you are including the detailed responses in the same letter , mention that the next section contains your responses .\naddressing reviewer comments can be a difficult task , especially , if there are many comments and the comments are long . here are a few things to keep in mind when addressing reviewer comments :\n1 . address each and every point raised by the editor and reviewers : copy every single comment in your rebuttal letter and write your reply immediately after each point in a clear and concise manner . make sure that not a single point raised by the reviewers / editor goes unanswered . even if you do not agree with a point or have not made the change suggested , please mention that and provide a reason for your decision .\n2 . provide point - by - point responses : number the reviewers\u2019 points and respond to them sequentially . highlight the corresponding changes in the manuscript or refer to the line numbers in the original and revised manuscripts . consider setting the reviewer comments in bold to distinguish them from your responses . this makes it easier for the editor / reviewers to follow what you have done .\n3 . categorize the reviewers\u2019 comments : if there are too many comments , it would help if you separate the comments into categories . for example , all the comments related to methodology could be grouped together , all related to language could be under one category , etc . if you decide to do that , make sure you add a sentence such as \u201ci have separated my responses to the reviewers\u2019 comments according to several categories in order to achieve an integrated approach in my responses . \u201d\n4 . if comments are in the form of paragraphs , split them into points : if the reviewers\u2019 comments are in the form of large paragraphs , divide them into separate points so that you can address them individually . if you are not sure of what a particular comment means , begin your response by explaining what you have understood from the comment .\n5 . in case you feel the reviewer has misunderstood something , clarify politely : reviewers are experts who have extensive knowledge of their field ; therefore , if you feel that a reviewer has misunderstood certain parts , it is likely to be due to lack of clarity in your presentation . in such cases , point out the misunderstanding politely and provide the necessary clarification . for instance , you could write : \u201ci am sorry that this part was not clear in the original manuscript . i should have explained that\u2026 . i have revised the contents of this part . \u201d\n6 . if you cannot address a point , give a reason : if you cannot address any of the reviewers\u2019 concerns , explain why you cannot do it , for instance , if the reviewer has asked you to provide additional data or conduct additional experiments , which you feel are not necessary . avoid giving personal reasons like lack of funds or lack of time as reasons . do not show a negative attitude . be respectful in your reply . first , thank the reviewer for his / her in - depth analysis and useful comments . then , explain where you feel you cannot completely agree with the reviewer\u2019s suggestion . your answer should be clear and logical and should be backed by evidence .\n7 . when adding new data or figures , mention their location in the manuscript : if you have included new data , tables , figures , etc . , indicate where you have added the information : mention page numbers , figure panels , etc . if required , attach supplementary material so that the reviewer / editor has everything that he / she needs and does not have to go searching for the material ."]}

watched the first descent for only the second time since its cinematic release , coming to the late realisation that it was utterly superb , and far more affecting than i had remembered , being masterfully shot and acted , while remaining intensely scary and claustrophobic throughout .\ni ' ll start with the good points about the descent part 2 . for a moderately low - budgeted horror film , it looks good . the sets look convincing and it ' s handsomely filmed , to which credit must go to director jon harris ( whose usual day job is as editor extraordinaire . check out his work on the recent kick - ass ) .\nfirstly , i need to disclose something . on the day i saw the descent : part 2 i was in a foul mood . it had been one of those days that started badly and ended the same way . i was tired , frustrated and angry with work , which was then compounded by a packed train into central london and cold , rainy weather .\npicking up two days after the original ( at least the american ending , anyway - more on that later ) , the descent part 2 finds sarah ( shauna macdonald ) as the sole survivor of the ill - fated caving adventure . picked up by the cops , she immediately falls under suspicion from the grizzly old sheriff due to the fact she is covered in a large amount of her friend juno ' s blood .\nthe descent was released in its native u . k . back in 2005 and earned amazing reviews . it became a solid hit , both in its native market and when it was imported here . the descent : part 2 struggled to find the same level of success in most foreign markets , while it is being dumped direct -

rollingly cheesy ) and the predictable characters ( suspicious sheriff , naive young officer , eager adventurers and so on ) . if you liked the first one you ' ll maybe get a kick out of seeing the crawlers doing more of their vicious attacking but generally i ' d say skip this one and just go rent the original .\npublication of straight -

watch it and 2 . ) almost everyone already knows it is the shit , what else is there to discuss ? the descent was rightfully heralded as being one of the scariest horror films in a long time . its intense claustrophobic atmosphere fills the viewer with such a powerful sense of fear long before the cave dwellers appear . it depicts strong , independent women who do not take off their clothes and are capable of rescuing themselves without the aid of big strong men . yes , the descent is clearly one of the best .\nthe instrument approach and landing procedures in part iv of pans - ops for helicopter pins rnp apch approach procedures may be used as an alternative to the instrument approach and landing procedures mentioned in this section .\nyour review was accurate and on point with the exception of the \u201cog\u201d part of it . he did more than just operate the elevator and hit rios in the head with a shovel . he was also the guy driving the truck that discovered and brought sarah to the hospital .\nthe descent part 2 is the reason people hate sequels . it took a crafty , clever , interesting film and instead of building on that foundation and continuing its trajectory , it ' s instead a giant leap backwards . it disregards all of the best parts of the original . it stocks up on rote caricatures , abandons any semblance of atmosphere , and writes itself into oblivion via miserable dialogue mixed with boorish and imbecilic melodrama . neil marshall was right to wash his hands of this sequel , and i hope he never had to sit through it . hopefully , you never will either .\nicao pans -

[ 2 ]\nalthough the film suffers from some weak characterization and a few lapses in logic ,\nthe descent : part 2\nstill manages generate a steady amount of quick , claustrophobic terror . harris is a master of the unexpected jump scare , and utilizes this gimmick with shocking precision . he also smartly keeps the pacing fast furious , stopping only briefly to allow his characters to catch their breath before violently shoving them into the next gore - encrusted set piece . the bloodletting is a bit gratuitous , and harris frequently lets the camera linger on the carnage a tad longer than he should . great if you like your horror outrageously bloody , distracting if you don ' t .\ni feel like a part three needs to be made to explain all these unanswered questions . the next one at least one person should live to the the tale of all of the women . sarah should have made it back alive , the ending is horrible . sarah and juno should have lived . elen no one really cared for her because she was a useless . juno and sarah are my favorite characters in the film and and they should have been the only 2 savior\u2019s being that juno lived down there with them fir what 2 or 3 days . and sarah being the only person to come out alive and them to go back and make it to the end and die . that is bullshit juno in sarah were fighters from the beginning to the bitter end and sarah had no choice . sarah and juno could have beat all of them if they work together look at how many juno killed at the end of part one . the ending should change in the second one . in the third one it could be a dream on of them is having and how 2 ended and then show a different scence as the real ending .\nfor runway aligned approaches where a windsock is not located adjacent to the runway threshold , it must be confirmed that a windsock is visible when the aircraft is at the mda , in accordance with cao 92 . 2 .\nin an early draft , barclay was to be on the bridge as part of the skeleton crew . due to availability and cost issues , ensign taitt was written to take his place . ( star trek : the next generation companion )\nwell aside from that sudden depressing realization , i still liked those last few moments - - up until the very end . not too long ago i wrote an article on the bloodsprayer about when final moments ruin entire films and i ' d have to now group the descent 2 in that category . it was a total last house on the left move , where the last 2 minutes were completely and utterly useless . i hated it with such a deep and burning passion that i even considered throwing my laptop at the wall . how dare you take our strong and moving female characters and dispatch them so easily with some shitty old man ' s shovel . real nice . real fucking nice ! bah . everything about it was so completely opposite of what the descent was all about . it really ruined what could have been a somewhat decent sequel .\nif state forecast tolerances cannot be determined , or there is a doubt on the availability / reliability of the approach aid , a ceiling tolerance of 500 ft and visibility tolerance of 2 km must be used .\nthis procedure is to complement the obligation on casa under paragraph 2 . 1 . 9a of the manual of standards ( mos ) \u2014 part 139 aerodromes that where an aerodrome with a tifp ceases ( for whatever reason ) to be certified and does not become registered , or ceases to be registered and does not become certified , casa will take every reasonable step necessary to give written notification to the certified or authorised designer of the tifp .\nis lowest in populations with a long history of dependence on unfermented milk products as an important food source . for example , only about 5 percent of people of northern european descent are lactose intolerant .\nsome of the action set pieces were exhilarating in their brutality , with the tongue in cheek style of the film being , surely , the only way to go , as trying to match the original descent in tone would prove impossible when the premise , revelations and creatures have already been revealed .\n( ii ) taking into account any associated operating limitation , a precision approach facility that has performance characteristics at least equivalent to an ils classified at least ii / d / 2 .\nit was also a film that i felt wrapped itself up very well , and in no way needed a sequel . but of course whenever a low - budget horror such as it is successful , either critically or financially , you just know they ' re going to go the sequel route . needless to say , i was more than a little annoyed at the news of the descent : part 2 being made , particularly because marshall , the first film ' s writer and director , wasn ' t coming back to perform the same duties for the second one , only attaching himself to the project on the executive producer level ( which we all know is just to get the film noticed more / give it more credibility ) .\nit is , in the director ' s own words ,\nbuilt on the bones\nof the descent , and while such faithfulness to the source material is to be commended , it comes at the cost of this films own identity . it is , sadly , too slavish to the original .\nwhere the circling area has been segmented to facilitate a lower minima and the missed approach point is located within the no circling area , the area should be extended by an arc of no less than 2 nm to include the missed approach point within the applicable circling area . ( see\nfollowing the critical and commercial success of the descent , it was inevitable that the makers would want to go back to the well for more crawler action . following a not so successful cinema release in the uk , it now comes to dvd in both the uk and the usa . but is it a worthy sequel ?\ngiving a character a child does not automatically equal characterisation , nor does adding a quick reference to a previous event , and the uniqueness of the bonding experience from the first film is gone , as is the very real british feeling which made the descent a more intimate experience for me .\neven the fool behind me took great part in shouting out what was going to happen next and if he could predict most of the events , then most of us won ' t fail to do the same and that ' s not a good sign .\nicao annex 11 chap 2 outlines the requirement for the publication of lowest safe altitudes ( lsalt ) and the criteria to be used for their determination . in particular , it states that the lsalt determined shall be at least 1 , 000 ft above the highest obstacle located within the area concerned .\none thing i will say however is that even though the descent 2 delivers jump scare after jump scare -

- your big screen tv , your comic book collection , your sweet fancy car . take that item , and lovingly gaze upon it . then , i want you to set it on fire . and then , sit there , without moving , and watch it fucking burn . after doing that , you ' ll have some idea as to what viewing the descent part 2 is like .\n, an oat of isa + 15 , an altitude of aerodrome elevation plus 1000 ft and the average visual manoeuvring speed for category . values must be determined using the following formula , however , an absolute minimum value of 2 km must be used .\nthe development of the 2 . 4 nm area semi - width is based on an area length of 8 . 4 nm . this distance allows a helicopter transit time of 9 . 4 minutes to the oip at a g / s of 44 kt for the crew to assess the obstacle situation and determine the mda / h .\nwhen i started writing this review , my initial mindset was that the movie was so - so , but the ending ruined what could have otherwise been a ( barely ) passable horror flick . but after actually sitting down and typing this , and thinking back to everything i had just seen in those 90 minutes , my opinion of the movie continued to go south . now that i\u2019ve hit the conclusion , i really can\u2019t call it passable anymore . it just does far too many things wrong , even if you ignore the ending . maybe i\u2019d have a different opinion if i hadn\u2019t seen the first movie and couldn\u2019t point out all of the continuity errors and all of the things the first film did better , but therein lies the problem : it\u2019s the descent , part 2 . it was designed to be a continuation of the first movie , and therefore i have to take it into account . i can\u2019t not . with that in mind , there\u2019s only one conclusion i can come to : this movie should not have been made . i said in the beginning that the descent didn\u2019t need a sequel , and after viewing part 2 i stand by what i said . it had too little character development , it made too many mistakes , the chilling atmosphere that made the first film great is all but gone , and the ending does nothing but leave a foul taste in your mouth . i don\u2019t know if i should go so far as to say that jon harris needs to stick to what he knows how to do and go back to editing . it is , after all , his first time at the helm , and he could potentially get better over time . but this was not a good start for his directorial career .\ni always try to be loyal to horror sequels and i found myself really wanting descent 2 to be better than it was , as , for every step it took towards being great , it was hindered by such lazy contrivances as having shauna macdonald ' s character , sarah , suffer from a convenient bout of amnesia before being thrown back down into the caves before she can even get dressed , to the awful end which could ' ve been taken from just about every bad horror flick i ' ve seen in the last few years .\nd2 is a sequel in the truest sense , being more americanised , less subtle , cruder and a lot gorier . luckily for me , that ' s not always a bad thing in a horror sequel and , for the most part , the film was more fun than it had any right to be .\nminimum runway width of 30 m and a minimum strip width of 90 m for procedures limited to code 1 , 2 and 3c aeroplanes . for aerodromes with a runway strip width less than 300 m , the mda must be adjusted in accordance with paragraph\nthe all - female dynamic of the previous film , which was part of its innovativeness , is sadly absent here , and the mixed team does not quite have the same spark , and instead the various members ( with wildly varying accents ) come across as generic monster fodder , even more so as they are not given the same character material to build upon as the girls last time round .\nthe first of the two elements that helped make the descent so great was the claustrophobic feeling of the cave setting . for more than half of the first movie we don ' t even encounter any of the monsters that the film ends up plagued with , but rather are forced to sit through almost unbearable fear of the darkness and the close proximity of the caves around the women . the tight spaces and endless darkness creeped the hell out of me the first time around , but the new director here just isn ' t able to capture the same kind of dread without resorting to blood and gore .\nto determine obstacle avoidance , calculations in accordance with the formula in appendix 3 must be undertaken by the tifp designer , as part of the process of determining the visibility required for the tifp . results from the formula are compared with the visibility requirements in paragraphs 8 . 6 . 12 . 1 ( a ) and ( b ) to arrive at the correct applicable visibility .

8 , and what was the precise screening time . for example , a reviewer might indicate that the length of the film was ' 12 reels ' or that it ran for ' 107 minutes ' . unfortunately this information is not detailed enough to indicate the exact length of the film ( in feet / metres ) , whether it had been cut or censored , or the speed at which it was screened on the night .\n( 1925 ) . the film was a hit , reviving a creative partnership that would last through seven more films . of these ,\nlon chaney as an armless knife thrower in tod browning ' s the unknown . some of the stunts were performed by real -

winning film - maker , archivist and historian kevin brownlow , who spent more than 50 years tracking down surviving prints from archives around the world since he first saw a 9 . 5mm version as a schoolboy in 1954 . he worked with the bfi national archive on a series of restorations .\nthe audio commentary by chaney biographer michael f . blake is packed with little tidbits of production information about the unknown , chaney and tod browning . the information is related by a chaney fan for the benefit of cinema fans , and does not have the sterile feeling of an academic reading . it is a commentary that is worth listening to more than once , unlike the over - intellectulized commentary of other silent era discs .\nbrowning came to hollywood after working in the circus for fifteen years . his knowledge of this milieu enriched many of his films , including freaks , the unholy three ( 1925 ) , the show ( 1928 ) , and the unknown . while the circus background is relatively cursory in the unknown , many small details , such as the play of shadows on the carnival canvas when the strongman first attempts to embrace nanon , bring an additional texture to the image . further details , such as the gypsy funeral ritual , add depth to the portrayal of circus life . browning\u2019s non - judgemental view of the gypsy lifestyle runs counter to the stereotypical depiction of ethnic minorities by hollywood , especially a group as misunderstood as the gypsies . browning\u2019s interest in outsiders and the rejected was no doubt nurtured by his time in the circus , and he well understands the audience\u2019s attraction to this image of the dark underbelly of carnival life , hidden by the masquerade of gaiety . his heroes were not the attractive and glamorous found in most movies , but those misbegotten beings normally hidden from our sight and treated in a condescending manner .\njust six of the 3 , 000 pies thrown in the battle of the century .\nshortly after the golden age of comedy was released , the battle negatives decomposed so completely that they were junked . only youngson\u2019s version remained\u2014and he hadn\u2019t printed the first reel at all . it wasn\u2019t until the 1970s , when financier earl glick purchased the rights to the hal roach library before discovering roach didn\u2019t actually have copies of most of the films he\u2019d just bought , that anyone even realized how much had been lost . to make good on his reckless investment , glick funded a global search for prints of the lost film library , but there was no sign of the film\u2019s second reel . in 1979 , the first reel did show up : now modern audiences could finally see the part of the film that contemporary audiences didn\u2019t care about , but not the great pie fight of legend .\nsuper spooky and atmospheric silent film from tod browning and the man of 1 , 000 faces himself , lon chaney ! i really like the atypical horror plot of the unknown focusing on circus performers and their infighting and strange habits and unrequited love . lon gets a lot of mileage out of his craggy world weary face . he ' s a knife thrower that ' s seen some hardship ! the black and white silent treatment really adds to the otherworldy quality of the movie as well . those caravan interiors look positively gloomy , and the stark paleness of a very young gypsy joan crawford pops off the screen like a beautiful phantom ! and for a movie almost a century old , the unknown creeps into some surprisingly dark places : deadly foot knife throwing , body horror surgery , a drawn and quartering set piece , those sharp hats . all in a tight 50 minutes ? why did i sleep on this macabre gem for so long !\nalthough it has strength and undoubtedly sustains the interest , the unknown . . . is anything but a pleasant story . it is gruesome and at times shocking , and the principal character deteriorates from a more or less sympathetic individual to an arch - fiend . . . mr . chaney really gives a marvelous idea of the armless wonder , for to act in this film he has learned to use his feet as hands when eating , drinking and smoking . he even scratches his head with his toe when meditating .\n- - - the new york times\nwhile very short at just 50 minutes , this film packs an emotional punch and is macabre in a way that is unique to the genre of horror movies . i won ' t spoil the big moments , but the tone is set from the beginning as we find ourselves at the circus performance with an armless man ( lon chaney ) hurling knives and firing a rifle at his partner ( a young joan crawford ) . as we later see chaney ( and a real - life armless double ) manipulate objects and do things like smoke with this feet , we ' re reminded of the film director tod browning would make five years later , ' freaks ' . chaney ' s performance throughout the film is brilliant , and he dramatically captures angst , jealousy , and pain . john george turns in a strong performance as the little person in the circus who is chaney ' s friend , and the two of them create a striking pair . while the overall tone of the movie is deliciously creepy , the romance joan crawford warms up to with a circus strong - man ( norman kerry ) is sweet , and browning uses a piece of gauze over the camera lens to create an idyllic , dreamy feel to some of their scenes . the uncredited score that was used on the tcm showing was also fantastic . great film , especially for 1927 .\ntoday , we are going to be looking at one of the most famous and popular of the chaney - browning collaborations . the duo spread their creepy pall over sunny spain and indulged themselves shamelessly in the bizarre , grotesque and macabre . let\u2019s see if the film lives up to its reputation .\nfounded by fritzi kramer , movies silently\u2019s mission is to make silent film fun and accessible with reviews , articles , animated gifs and daily updates .\na re - watch of one of my favorite films with one of my favorite silent film actors : the hands of orlac with conrad veidt . a concert piani . . .\nanother typically morbid chaney film has him working as a circus freak and trying to win the heart of his assistant . alas , she does not want him so he must kill the object of her intentions .\nit may not be browning ' s best silent film , but it is certainly his most fascinatingly perverse - - and that ' s saying something in the world of tod browning .\nit was the last of the great silent films , as just 4 months later the first talkie opened : the jazz singer .\nthe historian was backed by the fiaf ( the international federation of film archives ) , which appealed to archives around the world to send materials to london . \u201cthese prints came pouring in , \u201d brownlow said , \u201cevery one of them with different elements . it was unbelievably exciting . \u201d\nbrowning\u2019s great strengths as a director lay in his ability to draw memorable performances from his cast and to create a believable world despite the mounting absurdities of the plot and the world in which his characters lived . he has the audience believe in the fantastic possibilities of the cinema . bela lugosi gave his definitive and arguably only real performance in browning\u2019s dracula . when the simultaneously filmed spanish language version of dracula was rediscovered ten years ago , a number of viewers , in their excitement , considered this latino version , directed by george melford the better film , for its libidinous content . however , a comparison between the two is instructive since it reveals browning\u2019s skills as a director . his film has lugosi\u2019s memorable performance while the spanish version features uniformly inept performances by its cast , lead by the excruciating carlos villarias as count dracula . browning has a sympathy for his material , and the film , although encumbered by a static expressionism , is replete with remarkable cinematic vignettes that make it unforgettable . consider lugosi\u2019s \u201ccreatures of the night\u201d speech , missing from the spanish version , or the striking imagery of the \u2018one hundred and twenty five step\u2019 staircase where the climax of the film occurs . this was further refined in the minimalist decor of universal\u2019s frankenstein films .\nit is these skills that also make the unknown great . the film relies on a finely balanced performance from chaney to succeed . chaney had been mesmerised by clowns from an early age , fascinated by the potential duality of their personae . it is this that he brought to the fore in his acting , especially in the unknown . alonso is a hate - filled , fear - inspiring creature who has an all - consuming , obsessive passion for his assistant . chaney is required to display a credible balance of psychosis towards the world and believable emotion for nanon . frequently he is required to do this within the same scene without detracting from either aspect of his performance . for the amputation scene to work , one needs to feel compassion for alonso , to understand his motivation , and once the scene is over , the horror of what alonso has done only has its full impact if one sympathises with the character , even if paradoxically , he is a loathsome thug , unworthy of our compassion . the scene when nanon asks alonzo if he is thinner , before her disclosure of her love for the strongman , is tinged with perversity , dread , misunderstanding and ultimately extreme pain .\nedison didn ' t have anything to do personally with frankenstein ' s first film adaptation , which was thought lost for years , but hi . . .\nchaney\u2019s collaboration with director tod browning was a successful one for both artists . working together at universal studios in 1919 , the duo hit their stride while both were under contract to mgm studios . browning , a former sideshow performer and vaudevillian , crafted stories that were a combination of the macabre and tragic romance . with chaney , browning often came up with an idea of a character and then used that character to fashion a story , as he did for what is considered to be one of the best films the two artists ever made , \u201cthe unknown\u201d ( 1927 ) . chaney plays alonzo , an armless knife thrower , who hides out from the police in a local circus . actor burt lancaster once commented on chaney\u2019s performance that in one particular scene , chaney gave \u201cone of the most compelling and emotionally exhausting scenes i have ever seen an actor do . \u201d\nthe oakland dates will be the most complete and lavish screenings of napoleon ever shown in this country , with an orchestra of 46 playing \u201cthe finest score i\u2019ve ever heard for a picture , \u201d brownlow enthused . \u201ccarl davis made the decision to use composers who were alive at the time of napoleon , and that gives the film an incredible sense of authenticity . \u201d\nuntil this weekend . all these years , a copy of the second reel was apparently sitting unnoticed in the personal collection of gordon berkow , a film collector and an amateur preservationist . at the time of his death in 2004 his collection included more than 1 , 400 prints , which eventually made their way into the hands of jon mirsalis in the summer of 2014 . mirsalis began slowly working through the canisters , cataloging and logging the state of each print and deciding which to keep and which to sell . almost certainly destined for the sell pile : a canister labeled \u201cbattle of the century r2 . \u201d prints of youngson\u2019s edit were common\u2014in fact , mirsalis already owned one\u2014and the complete second reel , as everyone knew , had crumbled to dust in the \u201960s . mirsalis only recently got around to inspecting the film , an experience he described over email . when he opened the canister , he found twice as much film as he\u2019d expected wound around the reel :\nyoungson , who won several academy awards for his short films , specialized in compilations made with old stock and newsreel footage\u2014 daredevils , firemen , failed airplane designs , and the like . for his first feature , the golden age of comedy , he was stitching together scenes from the silent film comedies and wanted the battle of the century\u2019s legendary pie fight . he had footage transferred from volatile nitrate to safety stock\u2014but , according to every report , only printed the specific footage he wanted , not the entire second reel . once he was done re - editing it for his film , he threw out what he didn\u2019t use . so when audiences were finally reintroduced to the film , it was with new cuts and wipes , and a hokey 1950s documentary voiceover .\nyes , i have to agree that it\u2019s a very refreshing change . west of zanzibar is still my favorite but i definitely see the appeal of this film . i hadn\u2019t seen it in ages .\nthe most famous of napoleon \u2018s special effects is polyvision , a three - camera widescreen process gance used to close the film . like cinerama , polyvision required three projectors running in synchronization . they expanded the screen image dramatically . gance used the process sometimes to show broad landscapes , but also to break the screen into complementary or discordant images .\nthe battle of the century opened in december of 1927 and for a few happy months could be seen in theaters , randomly paired with anything from lillian gish\u2019s \u201cthrobbing drama of love and sacrifice\u201d the enemy at the hippodrome in murphysboro , illinois , to henri fescourt\u2019s 1925 adaptation of les mis\u00e9rables \u2014original running time 359 minutes\u2014at the bentley theatre in monongahela , pennsylvania . in those days , when films left theaters , they were done : no revival screenings , no television , just a pile of prints melted down to recover the base metals . the last theatrical screenings happened in the summer of 1928 , at the kinds of second - rate theaters that pointedly didn\u2019t advertise air conditioning . audiences who braved the heat were , with a vanishing few exceptions , the last to see the battle of the century in its entirety .\nchaney and browning would ultimately collaborate on ten films , and while it\u2019s often remarked upon that each of their greatest works were outside of that collaboration , this is undoubtedly the best film they made together .\nit took some political infighting , but laurel eventually sold hal roach on the idea . the studio bought an entire day\u2019s output of the los angeles pie co . and , that october director bruckman staged the greatest pie fight in history : 3 , 000 pies soaring gloriously through the air . and yet the secret of the film\u2019s success , as laurel told scheuer , turned out to be not volume , but pacing :\nthe love triangle is handled so well in this one . one issue with many of the chaney films is that the other two ends of the romantic triangles he finds himself in aren\u2019t as interesting as he . but here , everything is so perfect . such a twisted little film , definitely my favorite chaney picture .\na version of napoleon sponsored by francis ford coppola , and with a score by his father , composer carmine coppola , toured the united states in 1981 . i was lucky enough to see the film at new york city\u2019s radio city music hall . the polyvision finale drew gasps and applause from the sold - out audience .\ndespite the south american discovery of 2008 , fritz lang ' s metropolis no longer exists in the form as originally created by the german director , due not only to the contemporary cutting , re - editing , and censoring of the film , but also as a result of the vagaries of time and history which have , until recently , placed little value on preserving copies of films such as metropolis . since the late 1960s efforts have been made both within germany and without , to restore and revive the film , and produce a copy which is as close as possible to lang ' s original conception . these efforts continue to this day .\nnanon and malabar\u2019s relationship is handled with more care than many romances of the silent and classic film era . often , older films would reward the male suitor who least respected the heroine\u2019s boundaries , described as the \u201ccaveman\u201d approach in the silent era . ( however , this was nothing compared to the oh - so charming 1950s . that decade wins the icky - patooey \u201cromance\u201d prize but that\u2019s okay , apparently , because poodle skirts ! )\nheather stewart , creative director at the bfi , said :\nseveral generations of staff at the bfi have worked on this project . napoleon is a landmark in the history of cinema and we are grateful to all of the great talents who have helped us along the way but especially , of course , kevin brownlow for his indefatigable championing of the film and carl davis for his amazing score .\nthe critical consensus seems to be that the film was acted extremely well but its sordid subject matter was a bit much for some . of course , critics and audiences do not always align so take that with a grain of salt . i really love the penalty , another absolutely crazy story .\nmirsalis is handing the film over to restorationist serge bromberg at paris - based lobster films for preservation and an eventual theatrical or home video release . after nearly a century , the battle of the century may finally be seen again . but these occasional victories against entropy don\u2019t just happen ; without preservationists and collectors , the battle of the century would have disappeared forever . and for every film saved , more are well and truly gone . mirsalis has his own list of lost films he\u2019s still searching for : lon chaney in a blind bargain and the chimney\u2019s secret , ernst lubitsch\u2019s the patriot , josef von sternberg\u2019s the case of lena smith , f . w . murnau\u2019s 4 devils . when a film like the battle of the century miraculously re - emerges , it gives a sense that the teacup , despite what hawking and hannibal say , will occasionally reassemble itself . that\u2019s sometimes true , but as every version of the battle of the century , no matter how mangled or incomplete , makes hilariously clear , the process is usually one - way : you can\u2019t unthrow a pie .\nthis table has been arranged from shortest down to longest , with details relating to the longest known version of the film - i . e . fritz lang ' s director ' s cut at 4189 metres - given on the bottom row . the times under the frames per seconds headings ( 16 , 18 . . . 26 ) are in minutes . it is telling that the many extant versions of the film - including the 9608 feet long 1995 german restoration - are still less than the channing pollack edition of 10 , 400 feet , and substantially below the original german and australian editions . this suggests that not only are whole reels missing , but that editing within extant reels has also occurred on a widespread basis . such practises are mentioned in the literature , indicating that individual theatre managers and projectionists had no qualms in cutting such films in order to accomodate time and other constraints of local programs . they would even go so far as to locally censor the film according to personal taste and beliefs .\nthe movie also works well when the three points of the triangle share the stage . one of the best scenes in the film is nanon\u2019s engagement announcement when she announces that her phobia is cured and she loves hands now . malabar paws at nanon\u2019s body and she giggles as alonzo laughs , his mind quite gone . the happy couple assumes that their friend is laughing with delight and so they laugh along with him . it\u2019s glorious , sick dramatic irony .\na criminal on the run hides in a circus and seeks to possess the daughter of the ringmaster at any cost .\ni cannot emphasize how much i respect kevin brownlow and his work . he received a governors award from the motion picture academy of arts and sciences in 2010 for making , writing about and restoring movies . he is the author of landmark books like the parade\u2019s gone by\u2026 and the war , the west , and the wilderness , works that helped draw attention to the artistry of a generation of silent filmmakers . alone or with partners , brownlow also directed groundbreaking documentaries on charlie chaplin ( the unknown chaplin ) , harold lloyd ( the third genius ) , and buster keaton ( a hard act to follow ) . his photoplay restorations of films like raymond bernard\u2019s the chess player are among the most complete and beautiful works of their kind . he is also a generous friend to anyone seeking to learn more about the history of movies .\nboth stan laurel and oliver hardy had been appearing in films throughout the 1920s , occasionally together , but had only been officially paired together since that june . although they\u2019d shot the first three laurel and hardy films , none had yet been released . nobody at the hal roach studios knew it at the time , but they were at the center of a unique confluence of cinematic talent : not just laurel and hardy , but directorial legends leo mccarey , george stevens , and clyde bruckman . mccarey and stevens had their greatest successes ahead of them ; bruckman , the most successful of the group in 1927 , hadn\u2019t yet begun his spectacular implosion . the first reel of the new feature seemed like a surefire hit : a parody of the jack dempsey and gene tunney \u201c long count fight , \u201d which had just happened in september of 1927 . no one had any particular reason to believe laurel could pull off the tired pie throws he planned for the second reel . but he had an improvement in mind , as philip k . scheuer explained in a los angeles times profile two years later : \u201chis method would consist , simply and directly , of throwing more pies . not one , not two , not ten or twenty , but hundreds , even thousands . \u201d"]}

( i . e . in the night time ! ! ) i could no longer this crap any more . i would advise not to watch even on fourth of this non sense drama .\nthere was a deeply emotional side to her as well . with three daughters and three sons , she had about 20 grandchildren . she was interested in and updated with what was happening in the life of each of them . more than that , she was an affectionate naani or daadi to everyone . a lot of my fond childhood memories revolve around her . the only time i would see her crying was when we left to return to delhi post - summer vacations .\nwelcome aboard straight form the editor ' s des k a comprehensive section about films that are released and under production check out the trade facts and figures to find out best films at the box office plug yourself in to the jukes box and read the audio news and reviews paparazzi , interviews , bio - d ' s , gossip and what not ?

' nani ' is a bad film . mahesh should not have accepted this film . we have to wait and see if mahesh ' s image comes to rescue of ' nani ' .\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\nhis father ' s superstar image has helped him but teen heartthrob mahesh babu still prefers doing things his own way .\nten films in five years and mahesh babu has already achieved the cult status accorded to top heroes . his debut film\nnot only set the box office on fire , it also made him the chocolate - faced lover - boy of an entire generation of swooning girls . since then he has done a spate of romantic films , blockbusters like\nthe lover boy image notwithstanding , mahesh has slowly and surely moved on to do many diverse roles and proved himself as one of the most versatile performers in telugu cinema .\nwhen we ask the man in question how it feels to be an icon , mahesh flashes his ever - charming smile and says modestly ,\ni have barely done a few films and even if some of them did not work , the majority of the audience always felt that i came up with good performances . also , i feel that all the hard work my dad put in and the indelible impression he created for himself in telugu cinema has spilled over to my career . i ' m not sure if i would have had such a following on my own . by virtue of being his son , the legacy of the image was passed on to me .\nmahesh says he would also credit the success of his childhood films to his current screen image .\ni ' m also lucky to have a lot of people who love me and are constantly behind me , giving solid support . all i need to do is work hard , give a good film and make them happy . the amazing thing with the fans in andhra pradesh is that once they become your fan , they always remain your fans .\nas a person he is reticent and believes in living life on his own terms . as an actor there ' s nothing artificial or contrived about him . he says ,\ni am a very private person . i ' m here to work in films . if my films are good , the audience will watch it . i don ' t need to give interviews and attend talk shows to push my film . i am uncomfortable talking about myself . i love my fans . they have been there throughout . it is just that they expect too much . in a way , that ' s good because i am working towards keeping to their standards , learning from my mistakes .\nin a field where hype and hoopla reign supreme , mahesh is calm and confident .\nit has been a learning experience . i never involve my dad in work and have always strived to make it on my own . i think i ' m mature enough to select good stories but earlier , had i taken advice from my father , i am sure the outcome would have been better . but 10 or 15 years down the line , i would have to do everything on my own . so being independent was a conscious decision . i do one film at a time because that way , i can have better focus . i wanted to do different films simultaneously but that didn ' t work .\nwas a dud in the state but did well in tamil .\nhere if you have a particular image , you ' ve got to work accordingly . i ' d better stop experimenting and stick to action roles .\nmahesh adds that as an actor he doesn ' t sink his teeth into a role believing that it is going to change his career graph . he listens to the narration and if he likes what he hears , he goes for it . he doesn ' t think about critical acclaim at that point .\nclearly facilitated the transformation of this action hero into a solid screen performer capable of delivering quality .\nyes , it was one of my best performances to date and was very difficult as well . i did\naround that time and immediately went to work on this particular role . the emotions i needed to portray were heavy and teja moulded me into the role .\nmahesh ' s working relationship with his directors has been very fruitful . he says all these men have different styles and it has been a tremendous experience learning the nuances of the trade . but has he ever been dogged by insecurity ?\nto be honest , in the initial stages , yes . i was apprehensive about living up to people ' s expectations plus there was no way i wanted my dad ' s reputation to be tarnished even with a single bad performance . but\nwiped away all my doubts and insecurities . success can be a heady feeling and can throw you off balance so one needs to concentrate and be braced for any eventuality . unfortunately the slots we are in , the budgets that revolve around us , it is imperative the film be a super hit . so it ' s not that easy handling all this .\nas his all - time favourites .\none reason i loved working in these films is that the whole atmosphere was peaceful . my directors took charge of just about everything including my costumes . all i had to do was just go to the sets and give them what they asked for .\nwas a cost failure but it ' s close to my heart because of the standards it set . mani sharma had given a fantastic background score for almost all my films and he remains my favourite . and\nwas an elevating experience . my dad watched the film and never said a word . but i could see his eyes turn moist , he just choked . those reactions keep me going .\nand it looks like this hero will keep going a long , long way . as they say , like father like son .\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 -

day gym a run for its money . it was no wonder that she remained really slim all her life . after the butter was extracted from curd , there was a byproduct , which was distributed to the poor in the village who perhaps could not even afford to buy dal or lentils . they would line up their vessels to collect this and she distributed it equitably . although she belonged to an upper middle class rural household , she was not oblivious to the poverty around her . it was far easier to dispose of this byproduct than to summon the needy and then distribute it to them . she was also generous with other people around her , such as domestic helpers or relatives who were in need . to me , she was the lady with the golden heart .\ni saw her supervising work tirelessly and she was a taskmaster . the only time she relaxed was during her customary afternoon nap . the lady was a compulsive speaker too \u2014 i mean , i could hear her muttering to herself all day long . most of the time she was upset at someone for their tardiness or for not doing their work to the highest degree of perfection . if not , she would curse the flies for buzzing all day . the woman was a perfectionist . in the corporate world , she would have been equivalent of the boss who would ask for powerpoint version 20 , till it was perfect to the last full stop .\nshe was a domestic goddess , running the household efficiently . my mother told me she raised her children with simple , good values . living in a joint family , she constantly shielded them from polarising and negative influences . there were strict instructions to not indulge in useless gossip and focus on day - to - day work . i often saw her handle huge amounts of money for my grandfather . i can ' t say for sure , but i guess she did manage his finances too . in a social system where women\u2019s opinions were not really considered , i often saw her giving advice on different matters .\nshe was one of the most assertive and decisive persons i have known . she was quite direct and spoke her mind , to both men and women . i think it was this quality that made me differentiate her from other women and she has certainly inspired me in being an assertive person . she evoked love , respect and also some amount of fear in people . she was fair to everyone , whether it was in delegating responsibilities or distributing goodies .\nthere was also a fun side to her . now , i found this angle of her personality to be the most refreshing . this was not \u2018usually expected behaviour\u2019 from an \u2018old person\u2019 . she was a lady with spunk and wit . she had the most innovative responses ready for anyone who dared to mess with her . she was an expert dholak player and singer . her repertoire of wedding songs ranged from the demure to the \u2018not - so - demure\u2019 numbers . when the latter category was sung , the children were usually asked to retire to bed . of course , we used to hang around somewhere , catching snippets of these forbidden songs ! her \u2018gang of girls\u2019 would continue to sing till the wee hours of the morning . these women sure knew how to party !\noften , when she was in a good mood , we would ask her about her life as a young girl before marriage , how was her life after marriage and so on . she would indulge us with some wonderful anecdotes of her life . these discussions always ended with her asking me when i would get my nose pierced . this was a big deal for her somehow . i always told her i would never get my nose pierced for the sake of wearing an ornament on my wedding day . and she would be really alarmed , and say , \u2018how would you look as a bride ? \u2019 . true to my word , i never pierced my nose and still managed to wear the \u2018nose ring\u2019 . i am glad she was around to see me as a bride and her worst fears did not come true !\nas a devout muslim , she never missed her prayers or fasts . even in her last days , when even religion gave her the choice of not fasting due to old age , she continued to do so . she loved eating spicy food and rarely paid heed to doctors who asked her to reduce her salt and spice intake . she lived a fulfilling life , well into her eighties , and was blessed with a dignified death , surrounded by her loved ones . there was a huge crowd at her funeral with people from far and near villages coming to pay respect .\ns 2 / 1 , dlf phase 3 ( 7 , 728 . 92 mi ) gurgaon , haryana 122002\nely i bought a small box not knowing that it would get over in a day . my family did not leave even a morsel for me . absolutely\nlove the name too ! very well done , and thank you . . . the mathis and gud paras were loved by all . . . and thanks for making the effort\nof packing rakhi and roli along . god bless and looking forward to tasting all your products soon . . . good luck !\namazingly fresh out of the kitchen snacks ! ! just like how my nani would have made them . . .\nimages from the places i love . thank you peter don , ryan bonneau and erik anderson for taking beautiful photographs and not thinking yoga is totally lame .\nre : treat founder , babsi and i taking a moment in lotus . it ' s what we do .\nlearning to balance and stay strong through the shoulders has been a long work in progress for me .\nonce elusive , with patience and practice and a good sense of humor i got there .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\n' s tweets and complete profile . click the\nfollow\nbutton to send a follow request .\nyou can add location information to your tweets , such as your city or precise location , from the web and via third -

hyped nani is all about the childhood fantasy of growing up fast into the adult world . such a theme is fraught with risk as the director and the screenplay writer has to walk the tightrope of parading kids stuff palatable to adults and vice - versa .\na palpable lift - off from the tom hanks hit big , nani fails to manage this deft act as it falls in the category of neither here nor there .\nin the process , the director s j suryah ( of kushi and vaali fame ) has also gone overboard with double - entendre dialogues ( the censors , we are told , had to wield the scissors at many places and the scene involving ramya krishnan had to deleted as they were found to be unseemly and tasteless ) .\nnani ( mahesh babu ) , at core is the story of an 8 - year - old boy , who attempts suicide as he feels that his mother ( devayani ) does not like him . as it happens , a scientist ( raghuvaran in a weirdo look ) helps him and makes nani become a 28 - year - old instantly . hereafter , the plot is predictable and tiresome .\nthe 8 - year - old in a 28 - year - old man ' s body lands himself a job in a toy factory ( his essential boyish instincts wins him the job ) and not surprisingly the toy factory ' s owner ' s daughter priya ( amisha patel ) is head over heels in love with him .\njust as he is having a ball in the toy factory , nani comes to know that his mother actually dotes on him and is distraught ever since he went missing . overcome with remorse , nani runs to the scientist to get him back to shape . the scientist does that , but there is one hitch - - - nani is an 8 - year - old only in the mornings ; in the nights he is a 28 - year - old . you think it is funny ? but in this film , it is actually irritating .\nbeyond point , the humour of the situation looks forced and the double entendres get on to your nerves . in big the director had managed to keep the innocence intact and let the film remain one for kids . in nani , the director ' s folly is that he has made it for the adults . and despite the technical gloss and high production values , the film fails to rise to any great heights .\nmahesh babu , in the eponymous role , certainly proves to be hard working . but he has failed to bring to fore the essential nuance of the character and the mental complexities of a split personality . he romps through in romantic scenes . amisha patel ' s role is well etched , but she also seems to have let slip the opportunity . she looks fetching in ravishing outfits . but that is all to her role .\ndevayani as nani ' s mother is more than passable . she hams a bit in certain situations , but overall she comes through the complex role . aiswarya ( with a disconcerting cigarette -

ia kumpasar was the opening film . mira happened to watch the film and loved it . at the post - film q & a , i was ecstatic when she asked festival organiser aseem chhabra to invite me on stage as she cheered on from the audience .\nlater that night at the opening gala dinner , i was asked if i would sing a song from nachom - ia kumpasar along with the jazz band playing that evening . i readily agreed , of course . i think she liked the song since i saw her moving to it as she recorded it . when we finally spoke at length , mira was so full of affection and very kind with her appreciation . she mentioned monsoon wedding the musical and i told her i had recently tested for it in india with casting director nandini shrikent . she asked me to meet her and our producer margo lion the next day . that is how it began . it was unexpected and absolutely surreal .\ndas : some five years ago , a friend and me were casually discussing how monsoon wedding , the film , was soon going to turned into a musical . my friend said that i would be great for the role of dubeyji [ played by vijay raaz in the film ] . in 2016 , i got a call from nandini shrikent asking if i could audition for the part . i did and mira nair liked it . it felt like the universe was telling me something .\nwhat is your role in the musical ? ghosh : the entire cast slides in and out of multiple roles , including myself . it is exciting to switch between some of these characters that are decades apart in age . for instance , one of the roles i play is of an 86 - year - old granny with a wacky yet wise view of the world through her \u201csoda - bottle\u201d glasses . she is all about revelations of love and the stock market .\nhow is the play different from the movie ? ghosh : its basic premise is the same . yet it is different . songs in the film were part of the story , while songs in the play are the story . a shift in medium changes a lot both in terms of new possibilities and constraints .\nthe biggest difference to me is of the process itself . a stage musical must tightly knit all its layers together simultaneously . there are no re - arrangements on the edit table . this means constant flux and a readiness to adapt to change for actors , creative and technical teams alike . which is awe - inspiring at the same time . its stage craft is like nothing one has experienced before . music , choreography , and blocking are constantly finessed to hit the sweet spot that we hope leaves audiences happy .\ndas : it is very different . it\u2019s in the english language . musicals are a three - way attack , you have to be a dancer , a singer , and an actor . the process becomes very different and in the workshop mira had an amazing process of finding the character through me once again . she had a version , and through my entry , we formed the character through an improvised style .\nhas vishal bhardwaj replaced all the songs from the film ? ghosh : the play retains key musical themes from the film . however , since the story is told through music , there are mesmerising new songs that are the soul of the musical . for those like me who fall in the percentage of population that experiences musical chills , there are some hair raising - moments within these songs by vishal bhardwaj . he is a magician . it is thrilling to be singing his compositions live . he teams up with susan birkenhead , who could easily be mistaken as being indian for how the ethos of a great punjabi wedding shines through in her lyrics . and lorin latarro\u2019s choreography gives the songs such life , it feels delightful to be performing them .\ndas : there is one song composed in the raag bhopali called neither here nor there , a beautiful composition that i found tough and challenging to sing as the rhythm was quite tricky . i have a lot of duets with my co - actors , all of which are very competent . i had to go through a lot of workshops for singing . i have a background in indian classical music but it is not what they look for in western music . indian classical form allows a lot of improvisations but here the accent is more on accuracy . you cannot go off the music bars and notations , musicians will not save you , there is an orchestra playing , your cues are sharper and you have to keep looking at the music conductor and follow the rhythm ."]}

release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\na comedy in which mably is a mother who is going all out against baltimore politicians . she takes matters in her own hands when corrupt politics pushes her too far .\nthough it ' s billed as a comedy , amazing grace contains very little in the way of laughs - i counted approximately zero .\nperry , the first black superstar in hollywood , is regarded nowadays with more disdain than praise for his repeated although personally lucrative portrayal of what many would consider a horribly demeaning silver screen stereotype of african americans . that moment mabley and white - - a 70s version of the old stepin fetchit character with his song and dance routine - - step on the poster is a kind of acknowledgment that african americans , having been politicized in the all - embracing revolution that was the decade of the 60s , must move forward to create a new image . that new image is embodied in welton j . waters , the character played by moses gunn , who goes on in the movie to become the first african american mayor of baltimore . it is indeed a new dawning , not just for waters , but especially for all the younger up - and - coming generation of african americans represented most potently by the students of morgan state university who rally to support waters ' s mayoral bid .\nbut what i did not expect , and what may have been the most powerful moment on second viewing once i knew what was happening , is that lincoln perry himself makes an early cameo appearance playing a face - in - the - crowd , very much not stepin fetchit member of mabley ' s extended family . that , in a movie where it is acknowledged that the old stepin fetchit stereotype must be left behind in the past , is a moment even more stunning than the scene where mabley and white actually step on his poster .\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 .\njohn boorman \u2019s \u201czardoz\u201d is a genuinely quirky movie , a trip into a future that seems ruled by perpetually stoned set decorators . it\u2019s set in an ireland of 2293 that looks exactly like the ireland of today , until you get inside the vortex . and then suddenly everything is shimmering gowns and futuristic throne rooms and beautiful young people who glide around at an endless debutante ball .\nthese are the immortals . they will never die . they cannot . every time they try to , their bodies are relentlessly restored by the all - knowing mystical computer mind that runs the vortex . there\u2019s a catch , though : they can\u2019t die but they can grow old , and for infractions , they\u2019re sentenced to age a few years . if they don\u2019t watch themselves , they might wind up as immortal seniles . outside the vortex , a barbaric civilization survives . slaves till the land and gather the crops , ruled over by sadistic masters who sometimes gallop around killing off the surplus population . one of the barbarians is zed , played by sean connery as a cross between tarzan and prince valiant . but one day , zed ( like lord greystoke , come to think of it ) finds a child\u2019s alphabet book . he teaches himself to read and then fanatically devours the contents of whole libraries ( like thomas wolfe , come to think of it ) . eventually he comes upon the wizard of oz and , in a moment of blinding insight , sees through the whole joke of his world\u2019s social structure .\nzed has himself smuggled aboard the giant floating head of zardoz , which rules hinterlands , and finds himself inside the vortex . here he is an object of great interest , because the immortals , you see , having lost the ability to die have also lost the drive to procreate and are doomed to an eternity of detumescence . zed labors with no such difficulty .\nthe movie is an exercise in self - indulgence ( if often an interesting one ) by boorman , who more or less had carte blanche to do a personal project after his immensely successful \u201c deliverance . \u201d boorman seems fascinated by stories which are disconnected from the ordinary realist assumptions of most movies ; his leo the last ( 1970 ) gave us marcello mastroianni as the last of the big - time decadents , living in a mansion at the end of a deserted street in an eerie london .\nboorman puts a lot of heavy concepts into \u201czardoz\u201d , but seems uncertain whether he takes them seriously himself . there are sight gags ( the attempt to turn on connery with futuristic pornography provides the best ) , there are group seances that seem lifted bodily from pajama parties , there is no end of special visual effects ( every optical printer in england must have been busy for weeks ) , and at the end there\u2019s a combination shoot - out and mercy - killing spree that is at once ridiculous , depraved and low camp .\nevery once in a while , a movie like that comes along ; a movie you\u2019ve got to see so that you , too , can be in the dark about it . in the movie\u2019s own terms , this much can be said for sure : it may not make you an apathetic , but it will certainly age you by two hours .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

\u201870s , black and white cinema was an endangered species . nevertheless , brooks felt strongly about replicating the feel of universal\u2019s classic frankenstein films by going colorless . however , not everybody shared his vision . columbia studios\u2019 brass thought the style was unmarketable and , as brooks explains in this delightful interview ( skip to 47 : 40 ) , used some slippery tactics in an attempt to get their way :\nthankfully , brooks prevailed , though 20th century fox wound up taking charge of the project .\nlike alfred hitchcock , brooks usually gave himself a part in his own films , from blazing saddles \u2019 loopy governor to the wine - selling rabbi of robin hood : men in tights . these characters regularly broke the fourth wall and \u201cwinked\u201d at the audience , something wilder felt would clash with young frankenstein \u2019s tone . so , as a condition of his taking on the lead role , wilder made brooks agree to remain off - camera .\nas frederick frankenstein ( wilder ) takes his first ride to the family castle , the distant wolf cry which startles him is a sound brooks actually vocalized himself .\nen route to romania , our protagonist catches a train to new york , whereupon he hears an american couple bickering . in the very next scene , frederick ( now on a transylvania - bound locomotive ) witnesses a european pair having an identical , word - for - word exchange in german\n\u201cwalk this way ! \u201d marty feldman\u2019s igor instructs his master , who proceeds to copy the hunchback\u2019s shuffling gait . aerosmith frontman steven tyler found this line hilarious and repurposed it as the title of a track about high school lovers .\nas frederick readies his monster , he sends igor to fetch a very special brain which rests in a jar labeled \u201chans delbruck : scientist and saint\u201d . the actual hans delbr\u00fcck ( 1848 - 1929 ) was an accomplished military historian whose son , max , won a nobel prize for his work with viruses .\ntaking his feature - length tribute to the next level , brooks included much of the faux lab equipment used in that earlier picture .\ngarr made several appearances on the sonny and cher comedy hour and used cher ' s german wig - stylist as a model for ditzy lab assistant inga\u2019s heavy accent .\nthe two had already collaborated in 1968\u2019s the producers , and while casting young frankenstein , brooks offered mars the role of grumpy inspector kemp , but not before pitching an eccentric wardrobe gimmick that ultimately wound up on - screen .\n\u201che [ said ] , \u201d mars later reminisced , \u201c\u2018let me ask you this\u2026 if you\u2019re wearing an eye patch and you\u2019ve got a monocle on top of the eye patch , is that too much ? \u2019 i said \u2018of course not . \u2019 he said \u2018good , you\u2019re hired ! \u2019\u201d\naccording to the movie\u2019s blu - ray commentary , hackman\u2014who\u2019d been thrice nominated for an academy award ( and won one in 1971 ) \u2014learned about young frankenstein through his frequent tennis partner wilder and requested a role . ultimately , \u2018harold\u2019\u2014the lonely blind character he briefly portrayed\u2014sparked one of the most memorable sequences in comedic history .\nduring their hysterical encounter , sightless harold winds up accidentally dumping a bowlful of hot soup onto the poor creature\u2019s lap . fortunately , boyle\u2019s protective gear kept him from having to method act his way through the ordeal .\n\u201cfor every joke that worked , there were three that fell flat , \u201d says brooks , who whittled young frankenstein down to its current runtime after observing several mixed reactions from test audiences . this cut material included a clip in which frederick\u2019s relatives listen to a recorded will left by his great grandfather beauvort von frankenstein whose message starts skipping and nonchalantly repeats the phrase \u201cup yours ! \u201d\nin addition , the \u201cputtin\u2019 on the ritz\u201d number was nearly axed as well . brooks reportedly felt that having dr . frankenstein and his monster tap dance to an old irving berlin song seemed \u201ctoo crazy . \u201d hearing this , wilder\u2014who though it brilliant\u2014snapped and came \u201cclose to rage and tears\u201d before brooks unexpectedly changed his tune . \u201ci wanted to see how hard you ' d fight for it , \u201d said the director , \u201cand i knew if you fought hard enough , it was right . . . you did , so it ' s in . \u201d\naccording to cloris leachman , \u201che killed every take [ with his laughter ] and nothing was done about it ! \u201d shots would frequently have to be repeated as many as fifteen times before wilder could finally summon a straight face .\nbut , to be fair , he certainly wasn\u2019t the only one who couldn ' t always keep it together .\nyoung frankenstein sees marty feldman\u2019s comic genius on full display , which was often more than his castmates could handle . for example , the scene where frederick\u2019s fianc\u00e9e elizabeth ( madeline kahn ) greets him at the castle generated a lengthy gag reel because feldman\u2014whose character starts ravenously gnawing on her mink scarf\u2014kept everyone in stitches with his manic over - acting .\n\u201cit\u2019s good to be the king ! \u201d before this pivotal year , the funnyman\u2019s earlier efforts\u2014 the producers and the twelve chairs ( 1970 ) \u2014netted mixed reviews and had lackluster box office performances . but after turning out these back - to - back hits at breakneck speed , brooks\u2019 reputation as one of hollywood\u2019s greatest comedic directors was secured .\nafter getting eliminated from abc\u2019s dancing with the stars , brooks offered the 82 -

something directing tv shows and looking to break out with his first movie gig . he eventually found it in the tv movie duel , about an anonymous truck driver stalking a hapless businessman driving around the lonely canyon roads of california .\nduel , which is filled with thrills and road rage , was the precursor to jaws and effectively launched spielberg\u2019s career . here are some things you might not know about the golden globe - nominated thriller .\nauthor and screenwriter richard matheson based his original novella , which first appeared in the april 1971 issue of playboy , on an actual road rage incident . matheson had played a round of golf on november 22 , 1963 , the same day president john f . kennedy was assassinated . on his car ride home , and in a daze after receiving the terrible news , he was ruthlessly tailgated by a truck driver .\nmatheson initially pitched the idea to tv producers but , after it was rejected numerous times , he decided to put his real - life incident into prose form . in order to gather details of the open road , matheson set out from his home in ventura , california with a voice recorder in hand and simply described what he saw . those descriptions of the desolate landscape ended up in the novella .\n2 . it was steven spielberg\u2019s secretary who discovered richard matheson ' s story .\nto read , and she said , ' don ' t look at the girls , read the short story . it is right up your alley , ' \u201d\n. \u201cshe had a real intuition about me , and not since my own mom had anybody really had my number . she really understood my tastes , and my ambition , and my fear , my anxiety about wanting to do everything by thursday morning . \u201d\n3 . dennis weaver\u2019s work with orson welles got him the lead in duel .\nweaver drove more than 2000 miles while shooting his scenes , and did many of the stunts himself , including the dangerous phone booth scene at the\nsnakerama\ngas station in a single take .\nof working with the rookie director , the veteran weaver later said , \u201ci gave him the benefit of the doubt . i said , \u2018there\u2019s no reason for me to judge him because of his age . let\u2019s see what he does . \u2019 and he did extremely well . . . i really think it\u2019s one of the most creative jobs he\u2019s ever done . \u201d\nmatheson ' s script stated that the villainous , unnamed truck driver would never be seen besides the insert shots of his arms and boots . ( weirdly enough , matheson\u2019s novella actually names the driver : \u201ckeller , \u201d matheson\u2019s own spin on the word killer . )\nsince the truck itself is the movie\u2019s main antagonist , spielberg chose to cast it like he would any other actor : an in - person audition . the filmmaker auditioned seven different styles of semi - trucks on the universal backlot , finally settling on a 1955 peterbilt 281 because he felt that the split windshield , rounded lights , and elongated hood represented the menacing features of the truck\u2019s \u201cface . \u201d\nfor mann\u2019s car , spielberg chose the relatively small red plymouth valiant to stand out in size and color from the enormous truck and the earth tones of the california landscape .\n5 . careful planning and low - budget camera trickery helped capture the high - speed chases .\nspielberg was given just $ 400 , 000 and 10 days to shoot duel , but the schedule ballooned into a full 13 days to shoot the entire movie after the rookie director fell behind . to save time in shooting the high - speed chases on location in california ' s soledad canyon , spielberg strategically set up multiple cameras along a single stretch of road to capture the shots needed for multiple scenes in one take . he had the camera turned 180 degrees and the cars driven in the opposite direction to get multiple shots for additional scenes .\ninstead of creating individual storyboards , spielberg mapped out the entire path of mann and the truck driver on a mural of drafting paper with notes about each plot point peppering the sheet .\nto capture the truck and the car at seemingly high speeds , spielberg shot each at low angles . to create those harrowing shots , spielberg borrowed the specially - made camera car from the 1968 steve mcqueen thriller bullitt , which could lower the camera to only 6 inches off the ground .\nspielberg also enlisted 50 - year stunt veteran carey loftin as his stunt coordinator . loftin , who played the driver , also designed the legendary car chase sequences in vanishing point , bullitt , and the french connection .\nspielberg only had one take to pull off the climactic cliff crash because the initial shoot only had a single truck at their disposal . ( a backup truck was built during reshoots in case the engine of the main truck stopped working . the backup truck is\nloftin rigged the truck with a dead clutch so the 18 - wheeler could drive without anyone behind the wheel . spielberg filmed the crash with seven cameras from multiple angles to be able to use some editing tricks to stretch out the scene .\nwith filmmaker edgar wright , spielberg explained , \u201c [ producer ] george eckstein told me after the network saw it , \u2018well , we\u2019re going back to the desert , they want to push the truck off the cliff again and blow it up again . ' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i\u2019d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that\u2019s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , \u2018if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i\u2019m not going to do it . ' george fought for me , and for himself because he agreed with me . \u201d\nthe movie debuted on november 13 , 1971 as abc\u2019s movie of the week , and proved to be so successful that spielberg was given the opportunity to shoot additional footage ( the school bus scene and the railroad crossing scene ) to be able to release it in theaters at feature length .\n10 . spielberg has revisited duel more than once\u2014and people have stolen from him , too .\nduel was something of lucky charm once spielberg\u2019s career began to take off , and he\u2019d continually reference parts of the movie in subsequent films ."]}

blood , with the revelation that the three of them are demigods .\nsuch a conclusion feels like yet another cruelty hurled at \u201ccarrie , \u201d the musical\u2019s three creators said in a telephone interview . they put the onus of the abbreviated off broadway run on critics , contending that many of them chose not to assess the revival on its merits but to analyze it through the prism of the broadway flop . most major reviews of \u201ccarrie\u201d did compare the two productions , given the infamy of the original and the significant changes to the script and score for the revival .\nfollowing percy ' s disappearance prior to the second series , annabeth struggles to balance searching for him , being head counselor of the athena cabin , holding the rest of camp half - blood together , and undertaking the task presented to her in the previous series of redesigning olympus . as such , she ' s mostly out of the picture for the first two books beyond briefly mentoring our new protagonists , but returns in the third , with a divine quest from her mother on her hands \u2014 to find the athena parthenos and return it to the gods , at whatever cost .\ngut feeling : has pretty good instincts thanks to being more attuned to people ' s emotions . this gets her out of the temple of fear in the blood of olympus , as it was all about following instincts and trusting your emotions .\nbig sister instinct : develops this kind of relationship with nico in blood of olympus during their quest . she even has to remind herself at one point that he isn ' t her little brother .\nthat thing is not my child : octavian is his ( roman ) descendant , a fact that apollo openly laments in blood of olympus . he wishes he could have frank as a son instead .\nthe ace : jason is the son of jupiter / zeus , the king of the greco - roman pantheon . he was treated as the star of the legion , the most powerful demigod of the 12th legion . he became the praetor , led the romans to victory in the titan war and is considered to be very handsome . hazel refers to him as camp jupiter ' s\ngolden boy .\nfor instance , campers do not always co - exist in peace and harmony . the camp is not run with superior efficiency . prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity . sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called camp half - blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown . chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience . and , of course , there are divine words of wisdom from the god apollo himself , because . . . well , because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down , thank you very much .\nyears ago when annabeth , thalia , and luke were attempting to make it across the border to camp half - blood ( while being pursued by monsters ) thalia made her last stand which allowed annabeth and luke to cross over . as thalia lay dying , her father zeus transformed her into a pine tree which acted as a border between the camp and monsters . in events prior to the sea of monsters , luke poisoned the tree with venom from the elder python weakening the barriers . in order to heal the tree a quest was called for to recover the golden fleece . the fleece worked so well that it healed thalia herself bringing her back into a demigod form . the tree now serves no actual purpose except as a monument to thalia it is the fleece that keeps the barrier working .\ndamien shot to fame after la la land\u2019s critical success in 2016 . the film , which incorporates elements of comedy , drama , romance and musical numbers , stars ryan gosling and emma stone as aspiring creatives who fall in love while pursuing their dreams in los angeles .\nfigure it out yourself : when searching for camp jupiter , lupa can ' t tell him where he ' s going \u2014 he has to find and get there himself .\npercy is one of two titular\nlost heroes\nfor the first book of the second series , but he ' s back in the second , amnesiac and running from monsters . he is brought by hera / juno to the roman camp , camp jupiter , and realizes that his destiny is far beyond being the half - blood mentioned in the last great prophecy . having gone through five books ' worth of character development and combat experience on his own , percy is far more mature and dangerous in the second series . he easily befriends the rest of the seven , despite a few clashes with fellow ace jason . however , his fatal flaw from the previous series \u2014 personal loyalty \u2014 is still in play , with mars mentioning that it would greatly hinder the seven ' s quest to save the world .\nit ' s indirectly fatal . when she chose to join the hunters and leave nico at camp half - blood , zoe got the idea that she would be a good choice to groom as the next leader of the hunters , and drags her along on the quest where she dies . what ends up killing her is guilt : she feels bad for resenting nico , so she steals a souvenir for him from hephaestus ' junkyard , which activates the automaton defending it . she sacrifices herself to shut it off\njason is claimed by zeus , and leads a quest to rescue the goddess hera . along the way it ' s revealed that he ' s the younger brother to thalia grace , now leader of the hunters of artemis , and is actually the son of jupiter , zeus ' s roman aspect ( which explains the latin and the imperial gold weapon ) . and most importantly , he learns that he ' s hera ' s roman representative to the greek camp \u2014 like percy is the greek representative to the roman camp , of which jason was former praetor of .\nwith gaea finished , the combined greek and roman forces dispatch and scatter the monsters , incurring heavy casualties . nico tells percy his secret and earns himself percy ' s confusion and a high - five from annabeth . jason decides to stay at camp half - blood with piper but with frequent trips to camp jupiter . percy and annabeth decide to finish their senior year of high school in new york city and go to college in new rome . at the end it is also revealed that leo died in the explosion , but was brought back to life using the physician ' s cure . he lands in ogygia with festus , picks up calypso , and flies off into the unknown ."]}

[ 18 ] from the sun , slessor was lured to melbourne in 1924 as chief sub - editor for punch magazine [ 19 ] where he was exposed to further generalist publications , weeklies crucially , that also covered the cinema in a dedicated fashion . [ 20 ] slessor returned to sydney in 1927 to take up his post at smith\u2019s weekly . slessor brought with him from melbourne an experience of film coverage that consisted of a fairly stabilised language and style of film reviews : about a paragraph in length ; in a film and theatre section with dedicated sub - sections for each ; and cordoned off from the coverage of other amusements . [ 21 ] this film criticism still repeated the rhetorical form of the theatre review in that it was principally concerned with performances and , most particularly , notable moments of acting performance in a film . however , this form provided slessor with the basis to build a specific \u201cfilm as film\u201d type of film criticism upon formally assuming charge of smith\u2019s film pages in early 1931 .\nthe film is also genuinely poignant at times , which is rare . in the pixar and dreamworks classics (\npushed the bar with some inspirational choices towards the end of the film\u2026 compared , the third [ rec ] feels a smidge lazy .\ntintin creator herg\u00e9 famously said before he died that only spielberg could do justice to his intrepid reporter . this was based on the belgian artist having seen the first indian jones installment . has the beard done the bequiffed reporter justice or should have the boy reporter have stayed on the page , not needing another big screen stint ? *\nher last feature film was the fourth angel ( 2001 ) starring jeremy irons and forest whitaker .\nalumni damon lindelof focusing on not goiving - up the film\u2019s second half ? without a doubt .\nrichard jewel , ' rko film grosses : 1931 - 1951 ' , historical journal of film radio and television , vol 14 no 1 , 1994 p . 57 .\n: known for directing adaptations of shakespeare on film , apparently ( david knows about that stuff , so check his piece downward ) . the only other film of his i\u2019ve seen is\ncan screenwriters change the course of film history ? the work of key kurosawa collaborator shinobu hashimoto proves they can .\nchuck jones ' s ' rabbit punch ' is a great cartoon in which bugs is drawn into a boxing match with the champ ( later redubbed the crusher in the far inferior wrestling - based sequel ' bunny hugged ' ) and ends up going 110 rounds with him , each round escalating in its levels of violence until finally bugs finds himself tied to a train track ! a fast paced , beautifully orchestrated cartoon which eventually turns into a series of unusual spot - gags , ' rabbit punch ' is full of great sequences , the best being bugs ' s grease - assisted ice skating routine which is abruptly ended by a glove to the head . there ' s also a famous ending in which bugs admits psychical defeat by resorting to tampering with the very cartoon itself . unlike the lifeless follow - up ' bunny hugged ' , ' rabbit punch ' is filled with invention and moves along at a fast lick , making it an enormously enjoyable short .\nharrison ' s reports film review ; july 25 , 1936 , p . 119 .\nfilm noir guide : 745 films of the classic era , 1940 - 1959 by michael f . keaney\nsuch close reading of films is uncommon in the reviews of the day , and slessor\u2019s attention to film style , his ability to recall and record pro - filmic detail and envelop the reader in the film\u2019s specificities , is strikingly singular .\nmuch ado about nothing\n( 1993 ) . kenneth branagh beat whedon to the punch at adapting this comedy and set a pretty decent bar , receiving a warm reception from critics . it had quite the ensemble cast with branagh , emma thompson , denzel washington , keanu reeves and a young kate beckinsale in starring roles .\nis a superhero film , yes , but not a stupid one . it feels important .\nthis combination of activities and level of sustained attention allowed slessor and smith\u2019s to innovate in film criticism , providing a much more extensive and multifaceted engagement with film than had hitherto been undertaken . as the sample of film criticism represented in this issue of screening the past shows , slessor cultivated a distinctive critical persona with a national reach . part of this was the promulgation of smith\u2019s film grading scales , which were used to not only rate individual films , but also to survey the year in film , measuring cinema\u2019s progress in realizing the possibilities of sound cinema . [ 8 ] he also extended the newspaper\u2019s existing \u201cmedia watch\u201d functions to the smith\u2019s film pages , providing a running commentary of film criticism in print media that highlighted wherever possible the inadequacy of smith\u2019s rivals . [ 9 ]\nnevertheless , the monster is not the focus and ultimately , we come to realize , never the point of the film . it is the famous hitchcockian macguffin : it keeps the narrative going , but ultimately , the film is about the kids , their relationships and their journey to\u2026 . well , puberty . like\nto finally draw this to a conclusion , it must be said that it\u2019ll be essential to view the series as a whole , much like the books . the big picture is stunning from a literary point of view and if the filmmakers play their cards right , the saga should trump the pubescent wizard and the mopey vampires . all they need to do now is to secure gary ross and his team for\nchuck stephens is a columnist for film comment and cinema scope . he lives in los angeles .\ngo to , kind reader , and see this film . you\u2019ll be fascinated , frustrated and something else that begins in \u2018f\u2019 that would imply how much you need to see ben wheatley\u2019s film .\n\u2026 seriously , i could go on\u2026 ) , here is how i\u2019ll remember 2011 in film .\nif it wasn\u2019t for the sharp dialogue and the wonderful design , this film could have been slightly average . as it stands ,\nmoroni olsen as john knox . olsen was the only member of the film ' s cast to repeat his original stage role .\nintroduction australian film critics have not been well represented either by australian film studies , or by australian letters , the two branches of scholarship we might expect to attend to them . while a number of film critics are featured in that compendium of notable australians , the australian dictionary of biography ( adb ) , [ 2 ] in many entries film criticism is mentioned sparingly , sublimated to the writer\u2019s other achievements in letters . [ 3 ] australia\u2019s first wave of significant film critics , who came to prominence in the 1930s \u2013 beatrice tildesley , erle cox , josephine o\u2019neill , and kenneth slessor \u2013 are now with the exception of o\u2019neill not usually remembered as film critics . [ 4 ] in the case of kenneth slessor there is no mention whatsoever of film criticism in his adb entry . moreover there is no film criticism collected in the anthologies of slessor\u2019s journalism , and there is scant mention of film criticism in the oral histories and biographies that cover his journalistic life . [ 5 ] it is ironic that , of any of these names , slessor\u2019s film criticism in particular should be so neglected . as we will show in this article , slessor has a compelling claim to being australia\u2019s first great film critic .\nthe retro feel of the film is heavily accentuated , to the extent tarantino would lap it up and ask for more . the italic pink neon lettering and the pulsing 80\u2019s synth pop wraps up the film and creates a chilling and almost nostalgic ( also in reference to the good old nameless heroes , \u00e0 la\n. . . film contains the sharpest , toughest , wittiest , sexiest dialogue ever written for detective film . . . hawks perfectly conveys chandler ' s corrosive yet enticing los angeles .\n- danny peary ,\nthe film plays with the audience , who know the unavoidable revenge is coming , but never quite sure what form it\u2019ll take , if indeed the plan is executed .\nthe main part is , in my opinion , flawless . in fact , if one were to scrap the first and third parts of the film ,\nthis domain was not fully realized , but aesthetically developing and dynamically unfolding . in these circumstances it was the critic\u2019s task to chart , evaluate and judge against the yardstick \u2013 indeed to set the yardstick \u2013 of what it might and should be . slessor\u2019s criticism proposed the film critic as one knowledgeable about and firmly situated in the film world , understanding film as film . while slessor later positioned himself as a \u201cman of letters\u201d through his book reviewing , literary criticism and public lectures , his first effort in this regard \u2013 his film criticism \u2013 was perhaps his most significant . here he extended literary journalism into film criticism to create a new comportment that we would later call a cineaste .\nfirst seen soaking in a tub while chomping on a cigar , robinson arises from the water to put a stranglehold on the film .\nthis film by gus van sant , inspired by the 1999 columbine shootings , won the palm d\u2019or at cannes but remains nevertheless understated .\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 .\ncalled the film\na splendidly powerful drama\nwith a\nsincere , intelligent and genuine\nperformance by hepburn .\na panda has a kung -

of - age classic in where the wild things are .\nhowever , the 3d isn\u2019t the appeal \u2013 the film wasn\u2019t originally shot with it in mind . more than anything , seeing this film in 2012 reminded me of the fact i was 12 years old when it was first released\u2026 my sister and my mum had seen it before me . i was smuggled into\nput simply , it\u2019s just not good enough and a decent film about the murky and layered world of finance is hard to find .\none or two scenes could make you jump , but this film focuses more on the human story and what eli is really after .\nsound cinema and a film critic in a film world the achievement of smith\u2019s film pages and slessor\u2019s criticism is inseparable from its response to the era\u2019s major media transformation : the transition from silent to sound cinema . slessor\u2019s time at smith\u2019s weekly coincided exactly with this transition , from 1927 onwards . slessor was acutely aware of the significance of what he was witnessing , and sought to explicate its importance for a wide audience . he considered himself not only to be passing judgment on the cinema of the day , but to be witnessing the rebirth of the cinema , or the birth of a new kind of cinema ; nothing less than the emergence of a new art form . for slessor the sound cinema constituted an aesthetic revolution that required new critical terms , both in language and engagement . the notion that the sound cinema represented film\u2019s finally coming into its own is what warranted the attention slessor and smith\u2019s lavished on the cinema : the extended criticism , the coverage of the film industry and cinema\u2019s public uptake , and the formation of the office of the film critic as a particular kind of expert .\nnow we get to m . biggest plaudits go to judi dench , who takes on the role of bond girl / woman in this film . it\u2019s no accident that the previously mentioned bond girls are slightly sidelined : at the heart of the film is m and the dysfunctional tripod which reveals her relationship with bond and silva .\nevery now and then , a film comes along that is as enticing as the thought of susan boyle naked\u2026 in the snow\u2026while being repeatedly stabbed with syringes .\nproducer guillermo del toro and also manages to do that rarest of things for a horror film : it moves us .\nthis is surprisingly staid for a huston film . still , the top - notch cast punches it across , and the swirling storm raging outside the hotel provides an interesting backdrop .\nthe uniqueness and the way everything fits perfectly together makes it look like it fell ready - made into the director\u2019s lap . such seamlessness is rarely achieved , and rarely expected within the animation genre , which people see as meant for kids . not this film . this isn\u2019t a kids\u2019 film with bits for adults thrown in , but rather a film for adults with child - like undertones ( for an even harder hitter , we recommend\nalfred hitchcock called \u201crope\u201d an \u201cexperiment that didn\u2019t work out , \u201d and he was happy to see it kept out of release for most of three decades . he was correct that it didn\u2019t work out , but \u201crope\u201d remains one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted by a major director working with big box - office names , and it\u2019s worth seeing this week during its revival at the fine arts theaters .\nboasts an eye - watering cast , making this newest adventure the closest any bond film has come to an ensemble piece . in fact ,\n( here\u2019s one poster for every shit wedding film pun i just did \u2013 the social network rip - off is definitely my favourite . )\nnot a very long review if you haven\u2019t seen the film , huh ? well , get on it . your fault , not mine .\nconclusion it is customary in film studies ( as in other arts disciplines ) to keep journalism at a distance when considering criticism . film studies tends to want to see criticism as something other and more than the \u201cmere journalism\u201d of the film review . [ 70 ] from this vantage , slessor\u2019s claim to significant film criticism is all the more specious given that it came packaged with various forms of non - criticism : journalistic reports and op - ed pieces ; satire and light verse ; and black and white illustration . but rather than finding something else to call it , we need an alternative aesthetic account that can admit slessor\u2019s film criticism and reconcile the elaborated responses that accompanied it .\nis what a blockbuster should feel like and somehow , along the way , this ethos of sorts has been lost . abrams has delivered a bold film with swagger and , crucially , soul , a film which will go down as a rightful neighbour to classics like\nconsidering the fact that a film can be a poor adaptation but a nonetheless a decent film , and sometimes even vice versa , it\u2019s a creative everest for a director and creative team . the film can be too faithful , lacking the creative backbone due to its shackles linked to the source material , or it can be too far removed from the original book , a travesty that many fans will refuse to accept . a good adaptation is hard to come by .\nfrom the moment they arrive at the cabin , russell sets milo on edge \u2013 explaining how much he adores guns and admitting he knows milo and skyler knocked boots in rehab ( awkward ! ) . from this point forward , blood punch makes you second guess everything you thought you already had figured out . russell is not as dumb as he seems , skyler is not as one - dimensional as she seems , milo is not getting played the way he seems , and the cabin is not what it seems . the film frequently toys with your expectations like a kid in a sandbox \u2013 building little structures then smashing them up .\nto his credit , whether it\u2019s the production , the sets or the costumes , everything looks great . the rest of the film however is rather dull . it\u2019s not that a family - orientated burton is a bad thing :\nbut slessor\u2019s engagement with the cinema extended beyond film criticism . he improvised a film journalism \u2013 which had previously been the province of trade publications \u2013 for a general readership . this allowed slessor the scope to comment on everything from the state of the australian film industry to the pettiness of australian censorship . [ 10 ] slessor also encouraged smith\u2019s readership , the films\u2019 audiences , to talk about the cinema . he actively elicited and published feedback and comment from his readership both on films and on his own film criticism . [ 11 ] slessor\u2019s and smith\u2019s film coverage also had a more playful or poetic register , treating film in light verse and other forms of written satire . [ 12 ] this verse was accompanied by , and accompanied , black - and - white drawings of cinema stars and scenarios . these diverse practices participated in , but also took a critical distance from the industry and celebrity gossip culture of the trade publications , fan magazines and the \u201cwomen\u2019s pages\u201d .\na disillusioned man of faith is called upon for an exorcism , accompanied by a film crew , invited by the minister in order to chronicle the proceedings . refreshingly ,\n\u2019s fate : kubrick\u2019s film is now considered a masterpiece , yet at the time , the outcry against it and criticisms where abundant . time will tell . . .\nwhile australians of a certain age might know of kenneth slessor \u2013 either as australia\u2019s foremost modernist poet , as a prolific journalist and writer of light verse in australian newspapers , or as the official second world war correspondent \u2013 few know that kenneth slessor was australia\u2019s foremost film critic between the wars . [ 6 ] film criticism was central to slessor\u2019s tenure as a journalist at the popular and populist independent national weekly newspaper , smith\u2019s weekly , from 1927\u20131940 . [ 7 ] he was the named editor of its film pages from early 1931 . here he wrote on film at a length and depth that was not only unparalleled in the australian print culture of his own time , but that would not be rivalled by any individual in any medium until the explosion in film discourse of the post - war era . smith\u2019s film pages were not only remarkable in their own time , they still represent the most devoted coverage of the cinema in the history of australian newspaper publishing .\n, but wrote , shot , designed , added effects and produced the film , all of this on a budget akin to tom cruise\u2019s hairstylist\u2019s revenue . give the man a cookie . a big fat jar of cookies , due to the fact that the end result is quite brilliant and stands alone as a romance sci - fi road movie . the premise ? nasa , having received news of life other than our own , sent a probe to recover samples . this very same pod inadvertently crashes on return in mexico , where the alien specimen leaks . the mexican nation thus becomes inhabited by alien life forms and is treated as an infected , bio - hazardous zone .\nkenneth fearing ( 1902 - 61 ) , modernist novelist and proletariat poet , was driven by a strong social conscience . when subpoenaed in the 1950s and asked if he was a communist , he replied , rather splendidly , \u201cnot yet . \u201d of his seven crime novels , the big clock remains the most famous , smartly merging a strong suspense plot with his progressive agenda together with a biting social critique as our anti - hero gets squeezed almost beyond endurance .\nso , bond travels to shanghai and macau to find that the big bad is silva ( javier bardem ) , a former agent and one of m\u2019s previous prot\u00e9g\u00e9s , who was given up during her pre - handover hong kong days . it turns out the hard - drive is ultimately a macguffin and that the true motivations are ultimately very simple : silva is eaten away by his personal vendetta and wants nothing more than to exact vengeance on m , the woman who betrayed him .\nis far from an awful film , once the evidence is weighed , it has less going for it and more condemning it . it therefore should dodge the strongest punishment handed down to the aforementioned\nthe final characteristic of the homage is a tip of the hat to spielberg : abrams\u2019 film is a direct homage to its producer . this isn\u2019t entirely surprising coming from abrams . after all ,\nthe hulk is a good embodiment of what whedon does so well in the film and for all the characters : he takes the time to show their struggles , their flawed humanity and the borderline impossible nature of the task they face . as previously stated , he makes the audience care , thus amplifying the response : rarely do you hear as much laughing , cheering and applause during the screening of a film of this nature , and for good cause .\nthe film lasts a mere 95 minutes . any more would be unbearable because of the nerve - wrackingly bleak atmosphere . the lack of characterization and subplot development is paradoxically welcome and adds to the fish out of water feel . the remake ,\nin an ordinary movie , closer shots indicate more intensity , longer shots are more objective . camera movement helps establish mood . closeups punch home dramatic moments . cutaways , or \u201creaction shots , \u201d make it clear who is reacting , and when . although hitchcock tried to choreograph his 10 - minute takes so that the camera would be where the drama demanded it , there are moments when it seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time . and that trunk spends so much time in the foreground that we wonder why it\u2019s not the immediate center of attention .\nthe book has been adapted for the cinema three times . the first and most faithful was the film of the same title , a little gem by the team of director john farrow and writer jonathan latimer ( which i profiled here ) and released in 1948 . it boasts a terrific cast that is superbly suited to its role , most notably ray milland as stroud as he was so often at his best as anti - heroes with a roving eye ; charles laughton is simply perfect as the slightly campy janoth , here made into a man truly obsessed with the minutiae of time , adding an extra layer to the story . the movie is narrated solely by stroud and told in flashback with him literally trapped inside the huge clock that dominates the inside of the janoth building \u2013 after an elegant shot sweeping us through the janoth building late at night , we then go back 36 hours to see how he ended up on the run .\nwhile \u201cnon - commercial\u201d forms of film distribution , exhibition , and making \u2013 such as the amateur cine - club and the film society \u2013 were developing worldwide , including slessor\u2019s sydney , at the time of his film critical practice , slessor showed no interest in these new ways of being with film , or the new kinds of film criticism they entailed . slessor was not interested in razing the institution of the commercial cinema , or even in substantially reshaping it . indeed he loved this cinema and its accompanying rhythms , routines , and rituals . slessor took the fact of this cinema for granted , but held it to an exacting standard , taking it seriously . he didn\u2019t want a new kind of cinema , but the very best version of the existing kind of cinema . he didn\u2019t want audiences to see a different cinema , but to see the cinema they were already attending differently .\nromeo + juliet\n( 1996 ) . baz luhrmann added his signature flair to shakespeare in this modern adaptation . definitely over the top , but it gave a unique stamp to the film . starring a pre -\ntitanic\nleonardo dicaprio , the film is one of the top grossing shakespeare adaptations to date with nearly $ 150 million worldwide .\nfollowing most comic book storylines , the film presents us with an arrogant youth who is punished by his father , and sent to earth to learn a lesson ( what it is to be a true king / real hero ) . before going into the film as such , here\u2019s how it fits into the pre - existing material :\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\nwith her dazzling work on paul schrader\u2019s portrait of author yukio mishima , graphic designer eiko ishioka set out to create sets as vivid as the film\u2019s characters .\n: for those wondering , the title is pretty much the only thing the film shares with the comic book series , the latter being focused on the first class / team that xavier taught / trained i . e . iceman , beast , cyclops , jean grey , and angel - who later becomes archangel , and not to be confused with the female angel in the film . now that that\u2019s settled , over to you , professor d !\nall in all , another great film from refn and one of the best pulp thrillers in recent memory . it\u2019s a brutal , touching , sophisticated crime film that is as cerebral as it is tense . with regards to gosling , his omnipresence in cinemas is not over , as george clooney\u2019s\n) can carry a whole film on her gorgeous shoulders . her deliveryand timing is spot on , elevating scenes which could have spiraled into\n? there was however a serious need to add some motivation and decent tension to the mix . basically , it\u2019s hard to care . even if one feels for a man needing pills in order to stay mentally stable ( it turns out , in a decent twist , that renner\u2019s character was originally below - average on the intellectual front ) , it doesn\u2019t quite pack the same existential punch as a man searching for his identity . bourne\u2019s world was filled with palpable paranoia and tension : both are sadly mia in cross\u2019 world .\nthe start of the film is note perfect : a brief scene ( rather cryptic for those unfamiliar with the story , but the perfect choice for an opener ) followed by one the best credit sequences in recent memory . ( see below ) fincher treats us to a sort of warped bond opening sequence , a chilling video in which amorphous black ooze flows and morphs itself into abrasive flowers , dragons , computer wires , strangling hands\u2026 it\u2019s gorgeously nightmarish and all too brief , a stunning piece that sets the tone from the word go : this version will be more stylized and possibly sleeker than the previous , with fincher bringing his trademark sensibility for imagery , tone and sound . it\u2019s a sucker punch of an introduction , brilliantly galvanized by karen o and trent reznor\u2019s cover of led\n, nolan\u2019s batman saga , even the first transformers film managed it\u2026 there now is a minimum standard to uphold , a line drawn in the cinematic landscape that one does not cross .\nanchors itself in the avengers coda , but never forgets to be its own film , and this is due in my humble opinion , to the directorial scholar and his shakespearian predilections .\nthe film is highly regarded by a few critics today , but in its time was a box office flop , making a loss of $ 165 , 000 .\nthe action closely follows the source material and even if fincher wisely plays fast and loose with certain details , he makes it his own by adding to the mystery without betraying the novel . therefore , it is globally a film split in two : the first sees blomkvist and lisbeth respectively investigating and seeking revenge while the second , more enticing half , sees the two protagonists join forces . no major surprises await the knowledgeable reader / film fan but fincher manages to keep the pace engrossing and relentless . it is blessed with a more economic script , thanks to scenarist extraordinaire steven zaillian , and the smooth editing makes the investigation itself seem less clunky than it may have been in the original film .\nit sounds just as bad as the end result . the problem is that the point of an action film sequel is traditionally to up the ante , to feel that the threat is harder , better , faster , bolder , tougher\u2026 whatever the daft punk duo were on about .\nthe true highlights of the film remain mcavoy and fassbender . they both bring a great amount of personality to their roles , to the extent that at no point do we yearn to see stewart and mckellen . indeed , it has now become hard to imagine anyone else playing them . mcavoy does have the harder task : he has less emotion to work with but needs to be the glue that cements the team together . he aces the cheeky side to xavier and holds the film together . by the end of the film , our hearts go to him : we see how he ends up in a wheelchair and his emotions are spot - on ."]}

the speech thresholds could be described by two components : speech reception in quiet and speech reception in noise at 50 - 80 dba . hearing loss above 1 khz was related to speech reception in noise ; hearing loss at and below 1 khz to speech reception in quiet . the correlation between the speech thresholds in quiet and in noise was only r = 0 . 45 . an adequate predictor of the speech threshold in noise , the primary factor in the hearing handicap , was the pure - tone average at 2 and 4 khz ( pta2 , 4 , r = 0 . 72 ) . the minimum value of the prediction error for any tone - audiometric predictor of this speech threshold was 1 . 2 db ( standard deviation ) . the prediction could not be improved by taking into account the critical ratio for low - frequency noise nor by its upward spread of masking . the prediction error is due to measurement error and to a factor common to both ears . the latter factor is ascribed to cognitive skill in speech reception . hearing loss above 10 to 15 db hl ( hearing level ) already shows an effect on the speech threshold in noise , a noticeable handicap is found at pta2 , 4 = 30 db hl .\nnews analysis : the only mention of the new version of the ipad and the updated version of ios were press releases . there was no over - the - top announcement or parade of apple executives .\ndot ' s thoughts are expressed in a voice - over . given the cruelty toward her and the horrifying things going on in the house ( because they ' re the\nsecrets\nat the heart of the so - called plot , i ' m sworn to keep quiet about them ) , it ' s odd that much of her interior monologue is about beethoven ' s struggle with deafness . but then there ' s little in this film that makes sense . the family has entirely too many secrets and lies to be plausible .\nthe only justification given for not telling anyone about her parasites is that on some level , quiet didn ' t want anyone to know about them , because some part of her still wanted to kill big boss , which they would have allowed her to do if she ever decided to activate them .\nboth do a great job making smoothies . they ' re great for other options as well ;

an ice - cream parlor , knowing it would delight her , or brought home a diet pepsi for her on his way back from work . and in starting something new with joseph , she found she had refreshed her idea of what love could look like , which also infused her marriage .\ndon ' t give up on your marriage , but concentrate on becoming a team again and hopefully the love will still be there when you get

maybe we dumped someone that we wish we hadn ' t . maybe they dumped us . most play a never - ending game of\nwhat might have been\nfor the rest of their lives . it is tough to simply be happy with the love that you ' ve found and takes away from the special moments you have today , if you ' re constantly thinking back to what you once had - - which actually might not have been half as good as we think it was .\nelizabeth did not announce that the friendship was turning romantic , but she did not deny it either , when daniel , uneasy with the frequency of her visits with joseph , confronted her . that she intended to keep seeing joseph despite daniel\u2019s obvious distress shamed him : he was suddenly an outsider in his own marriage , scrambling for scraps of information and a sense of control . this was not at all what daniel had in mind when he proposed opening the marriage . they had not agreed on anything ahead of time ; they had not , as a couple , talked about their commitment to each other , about how they would manage and tend to each other\u2019s feelings .\nfamilies do not spend enough time together according to new research . they only have eight hours of quality time

again .\ni wanted to keep my small secret ; but i also wanted to go out to dinner with my husband , to hear what he would make of the minor intrigue , of my lie about a wholly harmless flirtation , if it even was that . and i wanted to hear how he felt about all the women in the world he will never really get to know , never get to kiss , a thought that makes me feel an existential sadness on his behalf . i was fairly certain i knew what he would say ; but that i was not totally sure , that we had not discussed any of it for so long , seemed like an emotional infraction within our marriage ,

with the woman he saw the previous month \u2014 his girlfriend ? his date ? neither word felt exactly right . he still felt concerned , both about how elizabeth was going to feel about the weekend upon his return and about how he would feel in the midst of it . \u201ci was nervous about how i was going to be received , and how i was going to handle it emotionally , \u201d he said . even the thought of being naked in front of someone new gave him pause . \u201cthere\u2019s a little hesitancy \u2014 like , what is she going to think ? but i think in the end when you\u2019re with somebody who is compassionate and interested in you as a person , that all quickly just goes away \u2014 because , look , we\u2019re all people , and we have our flaws and our good parts , and you either dwell on those things that aren\u2019t perfect , or you see beyond it . \u201d\n\u201cwe have to do what we can to break down those walls , and break down sexism ; it\u2019s a slow journey , but everyone to fight for their own identity is important . and also not to turn against each other , to support other women , and not to be manipulated by the industry to pitch against each other . \u201d\nmonogamy is an approach to relationships built on one bright - line rule : no sex with anyone else . open relationships may sound like the more unfettered choice , but the first thing nonmonogamous couples often do is draw up a list of guidelines : rules about protection , about the number of days a week set aside for dates , about how much information to share . some spouses do not want to know any details about the other spouse\u2019s extramarital sex , while for others , those stories are a thrilling side benefit of the arrangement .\nbut as with any happy marriage , there were frustrations . daniel liked sex , and not long after they were married , it became clear that elizabeth\u2019s interest in it had cooled . she thought hers was the normal response : she was raised by strict catholics , she would tell daniel , as if that explained it , and she never saw her own parents hold hands , much less kiss . it was not as if she and daniel never had sex , but when they did , daniel often felt lonely in his desire for something more \u2014 not necessarily exotic sex but sex in which both partners cared about it , and cared about each other , with one of those interests fueling the other .\ni , along with all of his siblings and his entire family , wish to loudly repudiate my son\u2019s vile , hateful and racist rhetoric and actions . we do not know specifically where he

told the huffington post . \u201ci think with everything going on in the world , maybe it\u2019s a good time for a show with heart and some humor that is just about people . \u201d\nwith the

build upon the the emotional gratification of the pilot , it has the potential to become a series that will be remembered not for its plot twists , but for how it made us feel .\nand yet daniel still felt conflicted about how the arrangement had started and all that it asked of him . in june , he sat down and made a document he called bizarro world benefits and drawbacks . under drawbacks , the list he wrote , as if addressing elizabeth , included : \u201cyou get distracted by your other relationship \u2014 emails , texts , etc . \u2014 and that can pull you from our moments . there is a third person in our relationship who is pervasively there and not there . the theory of nonmonogamy is easier than the practice . \u201d\nmany couples often start their open marriages with the idea that insomuch as an open marriage could be normal , theirs would be . for some people that meant that they would each have unattached sex but not do anything crazy , like fall in love with outside partners . for others , it meant that the spouses would never meet each other\u2019s respective boyfriends and girlfriends , and certainly not those people\u2019s partners . but some couples told me that once they opened their marriages , unexpected things happened . it was as if one major rethinking of convention subtly rewired their brains to allow for others . antoinette patterson , 34 , and her husband , kevin , 38 , who live in philadelphia , have been open practically since they met 15 years ago . once she became a mother , she gave up on the idea that no partner of her husband\u2019s could help parent their children . \u201cby now my husband jokes that his girlfriend and i could raise our kids without him . \u201d\nnow i can only look back and admonish my selfish , younger self .

started to think , are not just for people who were more interested in sex , but also for people who were more interested in people , more willing to tolerate the inevitable unpacking conversations , the gentle making of amends , the late - night breakdowns and emotional work of recommitting to and delighting each other .\nmixed in with the fear of vulnerability that all dating entails was a sense of dread . he found it hard to believe that elizabeth would not be jealous , and he worried , if she was , who would suffer more for it .\nollowing paddy ashdown up the stairs of his kennington home (

release publicity through its two primary cast members , both of whom made changes to their well - known attributes . prabhu deva appeared for the first ( and upto now , the last ) time without his beard while meena let go of her homely image in favor of a more glamorous one . but neither of these could cover up the deficiencies of the movie and it became one more flop in prabhu deva ' s career .\nprabhu ( prabhu deva ) and mani ( manivannan ) earn money through dubious means to support a few orphaned children . they steal a diamond but while escaping , mani stuffs the diamond into a toy sitting in a car . chasing the toy takes them to the house of k . d . chandrasekhar ( s . s . chandran ) , a rich man in ooty and with mani posing as the longlost husband of kd ' s sister , they enter the household . pooja ( maheswari ) , kd ' s daughter , falls in love with prabhu but just as he is being engaged to her , he finds out that her sister indu ( meena ) is the woman of his dreams , the woman he had lost his heart to after seeing her for a few minutes in coimbatore . so , he takes off his beard to assume a new identity as deva , prabhu ' s brother and proceeds to woo indu .\nthe first principle of successful movie making is to have characters that the audience is able to identify with , sympathise for or atleast like . this is even more important in case of the hero , who typically carries the movie along . but prabhu deva ' s character here is not someone we learn to like . atleast his initial activities can be condoned since his aim is to support orphans but his motive to assume a double identity is purely selfish . so it becomes difficult to laugh when he romances meena after his engagement with maheswari and we begin to sympathise with the latter . and when the movie in question is a comedy , having difficulty laughing is a very big problem indeed .\ngriping about the character might sound silly in a comedy ( especially one from sundar . c ) , but the problem is that the comedy itself is not so funny as to make us overlook such things . prabhu deva and manivannan ' s initial plan of selling paintings to the families of dead people is identical to the plan in\nand the fact that prabhu deva is the painter in both films only makes the scenes seem even more similar . while some situations sound like they have potential ( like the diamond heist which is spoiled by policemen , who turn out to be fake themselves ) , the laughs are hard to come by . s . s . chandran ' s suspicion of the relationship between his wife , manjula , and manivannan has a few laughs but prabhu deva managing his dual identity is not as funny as it sounds .\nas in sundar . c movies , there are a huge number of characters and most have barely enough screen time to make an impression . there seems to be no reason for most of them to even exist since they add no value to the story or the comedy . some background is initially provided with prabhu deva being angry at his grandfather gemini ganesan but all that is forgotten once he goes to ooty and gemini is used mainly to garner a few laughs out of his forgetfulness . the orphaned kids too are forgotten in coimbatore once the story moves to ooty . things get even more bizarre as the movie progresses , with characters like the midget who announces himself as a swamiji and wears a monkey suit .\nprabhu deva indulges in his trademark mannerisms and facial gestures . since he rarely dances in his movies nowadays , his dance steps in many of the songs are a treat to watch . apart from prabhu appearing beardless , meena ' s glamorous style was the other selling point in the movie . discarding saris and other homely dresses completely , she shows up in skimpy tops , tight shorts , short skirts and swimsuits . but they don ' t suit her figure and seem more vulgar than sexy . maheswari looks better than her earlier movies and isn ' t troubled much as far as acting goes . jayaram manages to keep his dignity intact with a cameo role . karthik raja gives ample scope for prabhu deva ' s dancing with fast songs like ailesaa ailesaa . . . and kattaana ponnu . . . . indha sirippinai . . . is melodious and catchy .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nyou have exceeded the maximum number of mp3 items in your mp3 cart . please click here to manage your mp3 cart content .\nget 4 months for $ 0 . 99 of amazon music unlimited . play any song , ad -

solvent . sam has opened a lodge on the neighboring ranch but he needs something from kit to open his resort to capacity . their story is full of drama , humor and sizzle . i enjoyed reading rogue ' s son and look forward to reading more from darcy flynn in the future . rogue ' s son is a complete book , not a cliff - hanger . i voluntarily read a print copy of this book .\ni received a copy of this book for an honest review . this is a clean , beautiful , and sweet romance . the book also reflects on forgiveness and not holding grudges . . .\noriginally posted on breath of life reviews can i just say\nwow ?\ni loved this book , i mean truly loved it . let me start off by saying that i love a hero that is at a disadvantage , whether it be a personality or physical disadvantage like jonas , i love it . too many times in a romance novel it ' s the female that is at the disadvantage and needs rescuing from the hero . not so in seven nights in a rogue ' s bed , it ' s jonas merrick who needs to be rescued . his emotional damage is severe , and on top of t\n\u201cwe have a week , miss forsythe . time ' s winged chariot and all that . \u201d\neve edwards ' lacey chronicles offer up historical romance for a young adult audience . i enjoyed both the previous two novels in the series , and was eager to break into this one . as with the rest of the series , the rogue ' s princess is a quick , light , romantic read , full to the brim with love , betrayal , drama , and sumptuous clothing . this series is perfect for fans of light historical romance . though this is a series , each novel stands alone well . there is no need to read all of them or to read th\nrogue ' s son by darcy flynn . i really liked it but am not sure if i ' m keeping it in my\nreread first\npile or not . i enjoyed the storyline and the strong characters .\nlet ' s just say that i ' ve read a lot more interesting stories than this one .\nas with her earlier elizabethan stories ( the last countess and the queen ' s lady ) , eve edwards has kept her story deceptively simple and , at heart , rather predictable . kit and mercy are clearly destined to be together and there are no real surprises in store on that count \u2013 however , it is the subtly clever roads that edwards leads her characters down that make her stories so completely readable . while it could be argued that the romance in the rogue ' s princess is rather rushed , it ' s speedy commen\ngin transformed this cocktail from a good - looking beauty queen into a good - looking beauty queen who wins on\njeopardy .\nit ' s one smart drink when it ' s made with gin .\nwhen stephanie laurens wrote devil\u2019s bride , she seemed to take the romance world by storm . lots of people ( including myself ) loved it . others didn\u2019t , but it seemed like almost everyone read it . by now , most people have formed an opinion on the bar cynster series . if you didn\u2019t care for the preceding books , then you probably won\u2019t think much of a rogue\u2019s proposal , because it is very much like them . but that\u2019s good news for laurens fans , who will be glad to see another hero with a demonic nickname , a heroine with spunk to spare , and laurens\u2019 trademark steamy love scenes .\nthose who have missed regency trads may well embrace julia justiss\u2019s latest novel . while a slight touch more sensual than many trads , its tone and plotting have much in common with some of the regencies i used to adore . in rogue\u2019s lady , justiss tells the sweet tale of a reforming rake and a musician\u2019s daughter , each trying to find their way into respectable society . though both have very different motives for seeking respectability , they find a common interest that soon deepens into something neither counted on finding .\ni thoroughly enjoyed reading about kit and sam . their second chance at love has so many roadblocks it seems they ' ll never make it , but this story manages to pull it all together in a believable way . kit ' s single - minded devotion to the land makes her a strong and sometimes hard - headed heroine . sam is simply delicious - chivalrous , helpful , and charming . there ' s even a conniving villainess in the mix ! rogue ' s son is a real treat to read .\nthis series about the lacey brothers is one of my absolute favourites ! the books may be set in the past but they feature wonderful characters and stories that literally pulse with life . ' the rogue ' s princess ' follows the laceys ' illigitimate half - brother kit turner , a player in the theatre . some what flamboyant and a bit of a loveable rogue with an eye for the ladies , kit becomes a reformed man when he meets the pure and innocent mercy hart , the daughter of a rich cloth merchant . however , kit has\nfor the most part , this is a cozy romance you can settle into . the world and the characters come alive , though some secondary characters steal the show . an extremely long boat ride helps the romance to come about as jane and simon learn about each other - - sort of , as at this point jancy is still playing jane . as they are on their way back to england , they keep building the romance , and jancy keeps wondering how she is ever going to tell him the truth about who she really is .\nms . flynn has crafted a wonderful romance between kit and sam . kit operates a bed and breakfast but sam refurbishes a lodge nearby that takes her customers away . we are made to feel for kit as she cannot keep operating at a loss . her family and sam ' s family have a history that complicates things due to kit and sam ' s fathers ' choices . it is a story of a woman struggling with material and emotional issues and a man trying to right the wrongs committed in the past . there were times i shed tears and times when i was happy at the events . kit looked into the past at how good things were , this bringing to mind the preious memories of my own . i definitely recommend this novel as a clean and satisfying romance .\nhe might look like prince charming , but he ' s sure to break your heart .\ni have not read the other books in the lacey chronicles and was pleased that each works well as a standalone . the rogue\u2019s princess shares the tale of mercy hart and kit tuner . set in 1586 , this historical romance beautifully captures the tone of the times and the power of young love . while the tale was predictable the characters themselves were delightful . mercy hart is the daughter of a deeply religious and wealthy cloth merchant . she strives to be pure in the eyes of the lord and to subdue her\na lifetime ago , flynn swore an oath to protect a draken princess with his life . now she\u2019s back from the dead\u2014and wanting him to honor his promise\u2026\nthis ended up being my least favourite of the books in the lacey series . while these books have always been very light , 16th - cent . romcoms , the rogue ' s princess felt insubstantial . i think it was the lack of any compelling stakes . in the other countess , extreme poverty was looming over ellie and in the queen ' s lady , jane ' s in - laws were literally after her blood , so there were some serious matters to balance all the froth . here , the only prominent threat for most of the novel is mercy ' s disapprov\nset in elizabethan england , the rogue\u2019s princess continues the lacey chronicles by eve edwards . mercy hart is the sheltered sixteen year old daughter of a pious and wealthy merchant of london . the handsome kit turner is the illegitimate son of the late earl of dorset and a flamboyant actor in the theatre group of london . upon meeting at a dinner party the romantic sparks fly between this unlikely match . innocent and na\u00efve , mercy is torn between obeying her father\u2019s wishes to marry righteous fiel\n[ sidonie seems to easily forget the horrible reason she\u2019s there at jonas\u2019s castle and falls for him pretty quickly . as well , there ' s a situation where jonas finds out something that has him turning from sidonie . it seems manufactured and somewhat out of character from the man we saw originally . ( hide spoiler ) ]\nthis one took me awhile to get through , which is never a good sign for me . seven nights in a rogue ' s bed has left me a bit confused and disappointed with\nwhat might have been\n. first off , i love a good\nreformed rake\nstory and this one was set up to be an excellent one . jonas merrick has set up his revenge against his evil cousin william by\nwinning\nhis cousin ' s wife , roberta , for seven days . he is all set to claim his prize and enact his revenge when he realizes roberta ' s sister , sidonie fors\nreview posted at demon lover ' s books & more this is a tortured hero story at its best . he is scarred , both inside and out , and sidonie proves to both of him that he\u2019s not quite the beast he thinks he is . this was a retelling of beauty and the beast , and i found it to be just wonderful . sidonie arrives at castle craven in her sister\u2019s place , to honor a bargain made with a man with no honor . from all her sister has told her , she will be facing the devil himself . from all her sister\u2019s husband has\ni often read adult historical romance , but it wasn ' t until i read eve edwards ' the other countess , the first in the lacey chronicles that i really liked ya historical romance . i quickly fell in love with edwards ' writing , which manages to stay surprisingly true to history while adding a contemporary undertone that seems to alleviate the dryness that can easily dissuade readers ( like me ) from picking up historically accurate novels . this particular installment of the lacey chronicles focuses on ki\nthis review was written for the review diaries : urltoken eve edwards elizabethan romance series \u2013 how do i love thee ? let me count the ways . 1 ) the research that has gone into these . so often historical romance these days is riddled with modernisms , that make you feel like you\u2019ve just been catapulted back to the twenty first century at a most unfortunate moment . edwards has done so much research it makes my head spin . not only are the clothes and speech spot on , but\nwhen people tell me they have some ya historical fiction for me , i instantly jump for it every time . sadly , a lot of the ya hisfic romance that i read falls into way too many romantic clich\u00e9s for me to be happy . this one was no different . the main character of this story is a young girl named mercy hart , who is as innocent as a child when it comes to the ways of romance . her love interest is kit turner , an actor with some roguish ways , who also happens to be the illegitimate son of an earl so he\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606 ( this is a review of the audiobook . ) you\u2019ve heard the expression , \u201ci could listen to him read the phone book . \u201d yup ? that\u2019s how i felt about antony ferguson\u2019s narration of this romance book . delicious . he has a dreamy , seductive voice . he does a good job with differentiating the characters , and with the female voices . some people complained about his pausing ; however , i listened at 1 . 5 speed , so i didn\u2019t notice this . did he elevate the story ? hmmm . after i got used to that sexy voice , i wou\nhistorical romances are one of my favorite genres , but i never read ya historical romance all that often . so when i saw the rogue princess , i was super excited to get into it and see if i would enjoy it as much as i enjoy the adult version of the genre . mercy is the sixteen - year - old daughter of a very rich , very religious , cloth merchant . growing up in such a strict household , mercy has led a life of respecting god and making it her mission to adhere to her religious laws . kit , however , is quite\nit ' s funny reading this now , because i read other countess and queen ' s lady ages ago , so will , ellie , james and jane are all strangers to me . but now i ' ve read this and queen ' s lady , other countess seems a bit pathetic , which is funny cos when i read that i loved it . i hope she writes one about tobias , cos he ' s my favourite lacey brother . ( blushes ) i never liked kit before reading this but he ' s grown on me , and i don ' t really like will . but james and tobias are cool .\ni really loved the first two books , the other countess and the queen\u2019s lady , so i fully expected to feel the same way about the rogue\u2019s princess . and i did ! of all of the lacey brothers we\u2019ve heard from so far , i think that kit may be my favourite . i thought that it would take a lot to knock kind and gorgeous will of the top spot , but kit , with his flowery and poetic way of speaking . i\u2019m a sucker for a silver tongue ! but it was his unwavering dedication to mercy that really got me . even though he\nwhen sidonie forsythe ' s sister , roberta cannot pay the gaming debts owing to jonas merrick , sidonie comes up with a plan . she offers herself in payment . jonas merrick is a bastard , and rich . there is no love lost between him and his cousin william , sidonie ' s brother - in - law . but jonas proposes a new bargain . if sidonie spends another six nights at the castle with him , jonas will write off her sister ' s debts .\ndefies all logic is exactly the way i ' d describe this book as well ! i could barely finish this annoying romance between two distinctly unlikeable people . sidonie , the heroine who ' s name i had the worst time pronouncing inside my head , was holier than thou at first . but oh how she crumbles completely in the arms of the dastardly hero , jonas merrick , whose scars and tortured past make him hard and cruel . then they have a few blissful days of non stop sex - yet she will not marry him when he asks her ! what a nit ! of course she has this big secret that he will not forgive her for when he finds out about it . then her sister and this murder ! all were beyond me , i was fed up 1 / 2 way through but persevered and finished this romance ! i ' m not sure if i will read more by this author since it ' s my first book by her , but this had all the elements of what i dislike in a romance , i ' m afraid . 2 . 5 / 5\nthe rogue ' s princess is the latest in eve edward ' s tudor series . each book focuses on a different brother of lacey family , this one in particular focusing on the illegitimate half brother kit turner . i am pleased to say that this instalment is as good as the other two in the series and i already have a new lacey brother to swoon over in kit . he is just as gorgeous as the brothers in the previous two books so be prepared to fall in love all over again . the main storyline follows kit as he tries to\nthe dialogue sparkles with humor and sexual tension . there is a delightfully funny scene in which felicity tries to get demon to explain exactly why he wants to marry her , and her questions lead her to ask about sexual desire . laurens fans have come to expect hot , detailed love scenes , and a rogue\u2019s proposal doesn\u2019t disappoint in this arena either . laurens handles the sexual tension masterfully , building it to a fever pitch that culminates when felicity and demon finally consummate their relationship .\nits a nice cute and people who like clean romance will love it . sam and kit are both likable characters , the plot is nice . darcy flynn did a good job with this one . but her first one keeper of my heart is still my fav : ) i would love to read her again and soon : )\nengland , 1586 mercy hart , daughter of one of london ' s wealthiest and most devout cloth merchants , is expected to marry her equal in rank and piety . certainly not kit turner , a lowly actor and playboy , who also happens to be the late earl of dorset ' s illegitimate son . but when a chance encounter throws them together , kit instantly falls for the beautiful mercy ' s charms . . . and mercy can ' t deny the passion that kit stirs within her . she seems ready to defy her father ' s wishes -

making talent by taking independent films from festivals and providing an alternative distribution platform to reach audiences around the u . k .\nultimately , what\u2019s stopping keeping rosy from being subjectively \u2018good\u2019 is the chronic genre uncertainty which obviously plagued its script . through most of the film , keeping rosy is a kind of modern day hitchcock movie with an incredibly bleak london atmosphere ; at times it becomes a black comedy and at others it\u2019s a charming piece about a forty - something woman finally having a baby . yet , throughout all these genre - shifts , it still retains its bleak , london atmosphere . it\u2019s not all bad , though . i think the use of sound in this film should be held up as an example in film schools , and the understated acting style used by peake and the rest of the cast is sublime , but such glimmers of excellence cannot save a film like this , any more than a silk shirt could function as a parachute .\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 .\nthe movie , billed as a twisted tale of sibling rivalry , sexual awakening and mind games one hot english summer , is due to unspool during this year\u2019s upcoming bfi london film festival which starts wednesday , oct . 12 .\nkeeping rosy\u2019s saving grace is its actors and actresses , who , with the exception of blake harrison in the form of blackmailing security guard roger , perform their roles very well . i was particularly captured by jen , a new mother who came into work to show off her new baby and the wife of charlotte\u2019s boyfriend , tom . in a film mostly consisting of actors playing small roles , hart managed to give her character real depth and emotional complexity , managing to introduce themes in a very short amount of time . this , combined with the relationship that she has with charlotte and tom , and the relationship that they have with each other , gave the film a blissful feeling of outside context : that this is only a small part of a much wider world , which this film desperately needed . it\u2019s the simple things that can really elevate a film , especially an independent one like keeping rosy with its relatively limited budget .\nfrom there , the film meanders through a long middle section which sees charlotte bonding with the baby and naming her rosy , breaking up with her long - time partner who is also the husband of jen ( tori hart ) , one of charlotte\u2019s former work colleagues , inviting her younger sister and niece to visit her , meeting with her relatives and realising that cctv evidence exists of her disposing of mykala\u2019s body . then , the film ends . not with a bang , but a quiet kiss against charlotte\u2019s flat\u2019s railing .\narriving with a bang on 12 september , 1966 , the monkees television show was the acceptable face of the counterculture , mixing cheerful anti -

awful with a capital awful . too many lingering shots , too many close - ups from positions that make me wish i could pick up the camera and move it . extreme close - ups are used to convey intimacy and show the importance of things , but they\u2019re unnecessary in cases such as this , where the characters are the only thing of interest on screen . in the director\u2019s defence , the cinematography does manage to convey the overbearing sense of loneliness in london very well , and there are a few shots that i did like , but such instances are rare .\nthe page you requested was not located within this site . please select an option from the navigation .\navy jones doesn ' t really want to talk about head . the former monkees heartthrob is happy to talk about his old home in manchester , his new home in florida , his racehorses , his theatre career \u2013 anything , basically , except the cryptic , psychedelic art movie that , in 1968 , marked the end of the monkees ' short tenure as the biggest rock band in america .\nwe were pawns in something we helped create but had no control over ,\nhe says crossly .\nwe should have made ghostbusters , ok ?\nhead could never be mistaken for ghostbusters . it ' s a fourth - wall - shattering , stream - of - consciousness black comedy that mocks war , america , hollywood , television , the music business and the monkees themselves . these days , it is fondly remembered as one of the weirdest and best rock movies ever made , and a harbinger of the so - called new hollywood . quentin tarantino and edgar wright are both fans . dj shadow and saint etienne have sampled its dialogue . according to director bob rafelson , the beatles and the rolling stones both requested private screenings , while thomas pynchon attended a screening disguised as a plumber . but to the fans who had made the monkees household names , it might as well never have existed .\nthe movie dropped like a ball of dark star ,\nsays bassist peter tork .\nthe simile of a rock in the water is too mild for how badly that movie did .\njones , tork and drummer micky dolenz are about to embark on a reunion tour but , even after 43 years , the subject of head still stirs complicated emotions . jones is more peevish than his cute television persona , and tork more thoughtful than the clueless dope he portrayed . only dolenz is instantly recognisable as the up - and - at - ' em showbiz pro . ( guitarist mike nesmith , who is prickly and distracted in head , is sitting out this reunion . ) their memories of head are as different as their personalities .\ni can only give you my personal view on this ,\ndolenz insists .\nyou ' ll get very different answers from them . it ' s like rashomon .\nrafelson , a charismatic director hungry for his big break , dreamt up a tv show about a rock band , inspired by the beatles and especially richard lester ' s a hard day ' s night . his business partner in the production company raybert , bert schneider , was the son of the head of columbia pictures , whose tv division agreed a deal for the show in 1965 . putting out a call for\nfour insane boys ,\nthey auditioned such future stars as harry nilsson , stephen stills and van dyke parks before settling on two former child actors ( jones and dolenz ) and two unknown folksingers ( nesmith and tork ) .\nhurt by ( accurate ) claims that they didn ' t play on their own records , the band practised hard and went out on tour . led by nesmith , who told dolenz the process was like pinocchio becoming a real little boy , they seized creative control with their third album , headquarters , and became bona fide rock stars . they hung out with the beatles and toured with jimi hendrix as support . during one visit to tork ' s laurel canyon mansion , singer jackson browne later recalled :\njimi hendrix was up there jamming with buddy miles in the pool house , and peter ' s girlfriend was playing the drums , naked .\nwhen we made headquarters , i thought i ' d died and gone to heaven ,\nsays tork .\nmy whole goal had been to be a member of a band that worked . the next thing i know we ' re making a movie and it doesn ' t have anything to do with the business of being in a band together .\nthe movie was conceived at the height of their success , but fame , dolenz once said ,\nwas slowly burning a hole through the centre of our brains\n. there is still dispute over the point of a monkees movie .\nthere ' s some weight behind the idea that bob and bert wanted to wreck the monkees , to stop it cold in its tracks ,\nsays tork .\ni ' ve never known for sure . bert and bob might have thought out loud : ' let ' s kill the monkees ! ' or they may have not thought so out loud but at some unconscious level , they were sick of the monkees and wanted to do something else .\nrafelson is 78 , retired and sick of interviews , but he agreed to answer a few questions via his daughter , gabrielle .\nbob was urged by his partners and friends not to make a movie with the monkees ,\ngabrielle says .\nthey felt he had done his work with them , and their audience was already defecting . but bob felt he wanted to complete the cycle . he felt the truth of the monkees story had not been told \u2013 their manipulation , protest and substantial talents . he felt the true story , in abstract [ form ] , would be more than worth the telling .\nrafelson introduced the band to his friend , a struggling b - movie actor and screenwriter named jack nicholson .\njack was fabulous ,\ntork says .\nwe adored him , all of us . michael practically fell in love with him , in a manly sort of way .\ndolenz agrees :\nhe was such a wonderful , charismatic , funny guy . jack spent a lot of time with us . he hung out on the [ tv ] set and came out on tour , just picking up the vibe .\none weekend in late 1967 , they all decamped to a hotel suite in california ' s ojai valley for a brainstorming session . amid clouds of pot smoke , they talked all weekend with the tape recorder running . nicholson then took the tapes and turned the conversations into a screenplay ; according to rafelson , he structured it while on lsd .\noriginally called changes , the movie was retitled head , partly as a drug reference and partly so that raybert ' s next production , easy rider , could be marketed with the slogan\nfrom the guys who gave you head\n\u2013 a plan torpedoed by head ' s box - office nosedive . dolenz remembers raybert working on easy rider simultaneously ; nicholson , dennis hopper and pete fonda all make cameo appearances in head , as do frank zappa and the former world heavyweight champion sonny liston .\nthe movie was using the monkees to deconstruct the studio system ,\ndolenz reckons .\nthere ' s a scene with me and teri garr in the old west and i get hit by arrows and i say , ' bob , i can ' t do this fake shit any more . ' well , that was a metaphor for people being fed up with the studio system .\nby that stage , the monkees were doing a good job of deconstructing themselves . the domineering nesmith hired hard - nosed agent jerry perenchio and staged a walk - out over pay on the first day of the three - month shoot . while tork , thinking it another nesmith powerplay , ducked out , the others were wooed back with a token $ 1 , 000 each and production resumed under a cloud .\nit was a joy seeing a movie being made , but i didn ' t like working for bob rafelson ,\ntork says .\ni did what he told me , but i can ' t say that i ever had any heart connection with him .\nhis favourite scene , in which he recounts what he has learned from an indian mystic , was actually directed by nicholson .\nbut rafelson honestly believed it would work .\nbob was disappointed because he had hoped that the movie transcended the group ' s name ,\ngabrielle says . he soon realised his error . at a greenwich village screening , hipsters lured in by the enigmatic posters walked out the minute the monkees appeared . the reviews were savage . of its $ 790 , 000 budget , it recouped just $ 16 , 111 .\nrafelson and nicholson soon hit pay dirt with easy rider and went on to make five easy pieces and other archetypal 70s films , but the band they left behind floundered . with the show over , album sales were in freefall , even though the head soundtrack contained inspired contributions from tork ( can you dig it ? ) , nesmith ( circle sky ) and carole king ( porpoise song ) . a disillusioned tork was the first to quit .\ni didn ' t have a band . i wanted this kind of connection and i didn ' t get it , so i felt it was up to me to leave .\nnesmith followed in 1970 .\ntork has seen head around 80 times but it took him years to work out why it bothered him so much . in the movie , the monkees are hoodwinked , bamboozled , chased , assaulted , mocked , trapped in a black box and reduced to dandruff in the hair of the actor victor mature , before ending up back where they started . in the words of the sardonic nicholson - penned theme tune ,\nso make your choice and we ' ll rejoice / in never being free !\nmost people are dazzled by the psychedelia , and that ' s fine , but for me finally the point of the movie is the monkees never get out ,\ntork says sadly .\nwhich is to say bob rafelson ' s view of life is you never get out of the black box you ' re in . there ' s no escape .\nthere might have been a scene where we get out ,\nhe says wistfully .\nwe jump in the water and get away .\nthe monkees ' 45th anniversary tour begins at the liverpool echo arena on 12 may . .\nthis article contains affiliate links , which means we may earn a small commission if a reader clicks through and makes a purchase . all our journalism is independent and is in no way influenced by any advertiser or commercial initiative . the links are powered by skimlinks . by clicking on an affiliate link , you accept that skimlinks cookies will be set . more information .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nin order to post a comment you need to be registered and signed in .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nproducing 85 percent of the nation\u2019s strawberries , california growers urgently need alternatives to methyl bromide fumigation if they are to maintain yields . methyl bromide has been phased out for all but critical uses because it depletes ozone in the upper atmosphere .\nimpermeable films have three benefits , according to lead author steven fennimore , uc cooperative extension specialist and weed scientist in uc davis department of plant sciences . the films trap the fumigant in the soil for a longer time and thereby increase its effectiveness ; they reduce fumigant emissions , which after reacting with nitrogen oxides , can convert to ground - level ozone ; and they reduce the amount of fumigant needed for effective pest control .\ntif may ease some of the burdens of fumigant regulations on end - users , as well as ease concerns of the general public about exposure to fumigants , he concludes .\nyou are currently not signed in . if you have an account , then sign in now ! anonymous users messages may be delayed .\n\u2022 all contents copyright\u00a92018 regents of the university of california . all rights reserved ."]}

yet - courageous school newspaper editor .\nthere really aren ' t any winners in restless virgins , nor are there ultimately many virgins . despite that , the movie never really\ngoes there ,\nand i couldn ' t help but recall the power of the complicated and in - depth portrayal of this kind of culture in the 1996 frontline documentary the lost children of rockdale county , which chronicled how a syphilis outbreak in a wealthy atlanta suburb began to unravel high schoolers ' sex parties that were far more graphic than anything restless virgins shows us . the idea of this kind of behavior is nothing new , but restless virgins doesn ' t add anything to the discussion , nor does it really make things titillating enough to spark one of its own . instead , it just cashes in on the keywords\nprep school scandal\nwithout doing much with it .\nlucas is living the good life ( we learn later that he is a virgin , but isn\u2019t restless because he\u2019s saving himself for someone special ) , and finds emily annoying .\nso loosely inspired by actual events as to qualify for practical purposes as fiction , \u201crestless virgins\u201d is nevertheless an unexpectedly compelling look at the caste system , cruelty and casual sex at a privileged prep school . even a hollywood ending can\u2019t entirely sour this well -

century - old massachusetts prep school where , on a campus many colleges would envy , there are buildings covered with actual ivy . alums include buckminster fuller , gov . deval patrick of massachusetts and me . it\u2019s not the sort of place where you\u2019d expect to uncover lots of lurid sex . there certainly wasn\u2019t much sex going on when i was there . tragically , i graduated a virgin . but apparently there was tons of sex at milton during the 2004 - 5 school year \u2014 at dances a popular boy could ask almost any girl he liked to step outside , and the girl would probably go with him and fellate him , with no thought of a relationship starting or even the favor being returned . quite often girls fooled around with two boys at once .\nthe beautiful game has shown an ugly side in russia , with the treatment of the referees coming into sharp focus .\nwe ' ve ranked the top 50 wimbledon players over the last 50 years .\nthe flaw that keeps restless virgins in lifetime purgatory is that it promises gossip girl ian scheming and nonstop scandal , but then it\u2019s an hour into the movie and you\u2019re saying to yourself , \u201cwhen is all this controversy going to start happening ? \u201d the movie\u2019s opening credits feature that classic lifetime phrase , \u201cinspired by a true story . \u201d and from what i\u2019ve read about the story that inspired it , the milton academy sex scandal of 2005 , this movie is lifetime \u2019s titanic . meaning it\u2019s about 75 percent fictional romance and 25 percent ( that\u2019s a stretch ) true story . except nobody drowns and billy zane\u2019s pout doesn\u2019t make an appearance .\n\u201crestless virgins\u201d is an account of that school year , as seen through the eyes of several students . the authors , abigail jones and marissa miley , both of whom graduated from milton in the late 90s , interviewed 28 students but few parents or teachers . because the book offers a student\u2019s -

3 dvd .\nwell - reviewed in its time , steven soderbergh\u2019s 2002 film solaris placed a paltry 124 th on the us box office for the year and its total gross amounted to less than a third of the film\u2019s estimated budget . on the dvd\u2019s commentary track , soderbergh and producer james cameron argue that the film was poorly marketed . there may be some credence to their arguments : the theatrical trailer , used to whet audience appetites , plays up the romance and suspense arcs of the narrative and pitches the film as a conventional psychological thriller with quick cuts and a driving up - tempo score . the actual film is far more contemplative and cerebral and demands being viewed through multiple lenses of critical analysis\nthough solaris is not entirely intertextual with the source material that precedes it , there are instances where soderbergh chooses to adapt items found specifically in tarkovsky\u2019s film that were not present in lem\u2019s original novel . by actively engaging with both versions of the narrative that came before , soderbergh positions his solaris as a representation constructed of the various pieces of the solaris cannon . combined with his auteur vision , soderbergh\u2019s solaris playfully situates itself in the discourse on reproduction and recreation though avoids the risk of ever truly being considered a third solaris .\ndoes both \u2014 and well , i think . how did such an unusual film pass muster with studio bean counters ? it\u2019s hard to know , but it probably had something to do with soderbergh\u2019s proven box - office track record ( in 2002 , he\u2019d recently come off two huge successes :\nmuch like the planet itself ,\nsolaris\nrelies on what you bring to it .\nsolaris , directed by steven soderbergh , is an immensely captivating film that borrows heavily from the original solaris ' plot , but streamlines it for a more cohesive narrative that moves along at a brisk pace while keeping true to the nature of tarkovsky ' s masterpiece .\nthat is the central theme of stanislaw lem\u2019s solaris . i was hoping for more mention of it during the film , but no , it got lost in the muddle .\n11 . in the director\u2019s commentary to the english film , soderbergh discusses whether solaris is either a good or a bad entity , and he quotes stanley kubrick who stated that the universe is neither good or bad , but indifferent . are there any indications about solaris\u2019s motives ?\nmovie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .\ni\u2019ll end up on a note on the book / movie differences : a plot point that got lost in the adaptation is that solaris , the ocean / planet is intelligent and may in fact try to communicate with the scientists by the use of those \u201cphantoms\u201d . i don\u2019t think it adds much , though , to consider this explanation given that solaris ( 2002 ) is more or less self - consistent without it . be advised that reading the book in order to have the film explained to you may result in even greater confusion .\ni actually preferred the 2002 version , as tarkovsky sometimes overdid some of the sequences ( e . g . the freeway drive ) . viola davis and jeremy davies were excellent as the self - consiously neurotic crew . and the score was superb .\nsolaris 1971 \u00fcberbewertete schein kunst die allein davon lebt das angebliche film experten sich daran aufgeilen sagen zu k\u00f6nnen das sie diesen film geshen haben und verstanden haben . meine erfahrung war folgende ich habe einen 3 stunden langen film mit statischen bildern gesehen bei dem ich mich nach 30 minuten gefragt hab wann die story anf\u00e4ngt nach einer stunde und nach 90 minuten bis ich nach fast 3 stunden gemerkt habe das der film nur so tut als w\u00fcrde er eine story zu erz\u00e4hlen zu wollen die erkenntnis das ich 3 stunden einen film geguckt habe ohne jeh etwas verstanden zu haben hat mich schwer mitgenommen und an alle die sagen der film will garkeine geschichte erz\u00e4hlen sondern ein gef\u00fchl\u2026\noh , yes : spoilers follow . do not read if you haven\u2019t seen the film .\na scene from the 1979 film\nstalker .\n( janus films / janus films )\nthis is over an hour shorter than the original version , andrei tarkovsky ' s solaris ( 1971 ) .\n, i\u2019ll admit , and i can think of other novel -

moving , cerebral , and ambiguous , solaris is not a movie for everyone , but it offers intriguing issues to ponder .\n5 . in the director\u2019s commentary to the english film , soderbergh notes that his version of the film has the rheya - creature agonize over her identity , which was not part of the original novel or the russian film . we also see this agonizing in the snow - creature . ( in the movie multiplicity , but contrast , the clones quickly accept their clone - status . ) if you discovered that you were a creature created by solaris , what would your reaction be ?\ni also love the casting of jeremy davies as snow , one of the scientists on board the solaris . he ' s such an amazingly estranged actor and can play such a curiously weird character , that this film so desperately thrives on displaying . i ' ve immensely enjoyed his parts on lost and ravenous and his disturbingly accurate portrayal of charles manson in the film helter skelter . in solaris , he gets to thrive doing what he does best , portraying an off kilter scientists that makes you wonder , what ' s this guy on ? i think the addition of his character in the film , breathes new life into the overall feel of the movie , and it made me care a little bit more for the other existing members of the solaris crew .\nthere are no credits at the beginning . all the credits are at the end of the

the story turns out to be a kind of aesthetic rorschach for filmmakers .\ni thought soderbergh completely changed the ending from either the 1972 movie or the novel , and in a way that was completely inconsistent with both the characters ' limited understanding of the nature of the visitors and the powers / effects of solaris itself . the 2002 version is beautiful to look at , but imho , it is a dumbed - down shadow of tarkovsky ' s classic aimed at an audience which prefers to watch movies which do not require much mental exercise .\nsolaris is just boring . it ' s dull . god , is it dull ! dull ! dull ! dull ! dull ! dull !\nsteven soderbergh ' s solaris has brought sci - fi back from the dead . john patterson takes his regular look at new us movies .\nloosely based on stanislaw lem ' s

film . they don\u2019t know what to do with it , \u201d clooney tells newsday .\nconsidering tarkovsky ' s film is an absolute masterpiece , soderbergh did a solid job with solaris . the use of flashbacks worked well to get the audience to sympathize with kelvin ' s pain . it was definitely a more straight forward take on the story . i even felt skeptical when clooney was casted as kelvin , but was pleasantly surprised by his performance . solaris ( 1972 ) is a cinematic treasure .\nexcellent film . great space scenes and a strong love bond between george clooney & natascha mcelhone ( one genuinely feels the strength of their love ) . the film is thought provoking . quality of dvd was good and arrived quickly . strongly recommend .\nit doesn ' t necessarily cover any huge ground , but it ' s a small film that tells something much bigger .\nis based much more on the 1972 film than it ever was stanislaw lem\u0092s novel . forgotten in all of this seems to be the original film

discreetly photographed moments of nudity .\ntense and stately ,\nsolaris\nexplores big ideas : fate , faith , predestination , memory , love , god , and the afterlife .\nstanislaw lem ( the novel ' s polish author ) said that he never intended ' solaris ' to be interpreted as a love story , but as a meditation on the nature of human quest to understand the unknowable . this could be in the spiritual or religious sense , or simply in a personal sense of understanding one ' s own motivations and desires . his novel reads better than the 3 - hour long film by tarkovsky , but then it really has a life of its own as a film ( even if it does not depart from the plot ) . in contrast , lem admitted in a 2002 interview that he was a bit embarrassed by the soderbergh ' s take on the novel , but did not disown it either .\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 .\n2 . in the original english film screenplay , snow states regarding solaris , \u201cpersonally , i think it ' s god . at least , it fits my definition . \u201d what definition of god might snow have in mind , and is this an appropriate definition of god ?\nthis 2002 remake of andrei tarkovsky ' s solaris manages to be far less ambitious and goes straight to the point . i thought it was a good take on the classic film , but it doesn ' t have the epic visuals and terrific , yet simple story that the original possessed . of course , this film echoes what the 1976 film had , but it never goes in depth with its subject , and it doesn ' t do anything new or refreshing . with that being said , watch the original film instead , it ' s far superior and it ' s a classic of the genre . this remake is good , but it never comes close to the original . the acting in this remake is very good , and i thought that overall it was a solid film , but it also rushed through the story a bit . with the original , it took its time to let the story unfold and it worked brilliantly and that ' s one of the main reasons that tarkovsky ' s sci fi classic is so unique and ultimately memorable . with this remake , you get a far shorter film , one that doesn ' t reach its potential and in turn lacks the development that made the original so good . nonetheless , this remake is good , but it could have been better as well . luckily the cast are great , and it ' s the film ' s strongest asset . however , i would recommend the 1976 film instead of this one , but if you want a more stripped down version , with less ambitious ideas , then this remake is for you . in terms of revamping a classic film , solaris like every other remake before or after it has left a bit to be desired , and makes you want to watch the original film . the ideas expressed on - screen , are things we ' ve seen before , and there never is new blood injected into the story . for a remake however , it ' s quite good , but it ' s nothing compared to the film that came before it .\ndevil or god , doesn\u2019t really matter , what matters is that kelvin was happy . he had the second chance he hoped for . so looking back if you consider happiness is found in heaven , then kelvin in the end was in heaven and solaris is god . there isn\u2019t really anything to be gained with solaris being the devil . there are no hints for ulterior motives in solaris\u2019s part aside from giving kelvin and his wife the life they really wanted . if solaris did tempt them , instead of just sending them a kind of prophetic message , remember that the devil tempts for people to gain earthly and temporary pleasures and the long term consequence is pain and suffering . this is certainly not the case for solaris , kelvin and his wife longed to be where they were in the ending ( apartment ) , and it was not temporary , their romance would find no end in solaris .\neven so , lem refers ( disparagingly ) to the single biggest difference between the source novel and soderbergh\u2019s film . the novel ( as well as tarkovsky\u2019s film ) is far more invested in the science fiction elements of the story , using the protagonist\u2019s relationship with his wife ( or \u201cwife\u201d ) as a way to explore such notions as the nature of identity and reality . soderbergh\u2019s film is essentially\nyes wes . you are able to explain what i believed . he is now \u201cliving\u201d on solaris and has come to terms with his past . what i find interesting , what will humans on earth do with their information about solaris from gibson ? go back ? stay away ? what would you do ?\nphantom - snow points out that solaris is getting bigger every time the phantom - destroyer is used ( insert techno - babble here as to why this is so . maybe solaris is angry at the destruction of its phantoms ) , and that the station will soon crash down on the planet . he recommends evacuation .\nhe shuts down the door to the shuttle and decides to remain aboard the station as it crashes down on solaris . self - sacrifice out of guilt for not remembering rheya \u201cright\u201d ? maybe . but then again , have i mentioned how many people kill themselves at the slightest excuse in this film ?\nalthough visually stunning , solaris is simply a bit dull . clooney gives an uncharacteristically wooden performance that fails to evoke sympathy , and the plot meanders along failing to generate much interest . while the tarkovsky film is an almost three hour long philosophical musing , it still manages to sustain an engaging dream like quality throughout . although soderbergh\u2019s film is atmospheric , it simply comes across as an under developed romance which unsuccessfully aspires to being something grander .\nyes , it\u2019s a pretentious art film . it\u2019s a gratuitously self - indulgent piece of cinema that\u2019s not nearly as profound at it may think it is . it\u2019s under - plotted , bloated and would have made a better 30 - minutes twilight zone episode than a feature film .\nblack

\u201cright\u201d ? maybe . but then again , have i mentioned how many people kill themselves at the slightest excuse in this film ? \u201d\nlem\u2019s novel is deeply ambiguous in many ways . neither the reader nor the characters ever obtains a full and complete understanding of , among other things , the nature of solaris , how its ocean is able to generate excellent facsimiles of human life , how human \u201cbrain waves\u201d interact with the ocean , and many other imponderables . inasmuch as such ambiguity is central to lem\u2019s ( and tarkovsky\u2019s ) approach to the narrative , it seems to me that lem , had he been a little more open - minded about the whole thing , might actually have appreciated soderbergh\u2019s version . though the 2002 film does indeed emphasize the love story over the imponderables , it presents that love story in a highly ambiguous manner .\nsome soldiers / investigators are sent to solaris by the company in order to help , but are plagued by the same phantoms . all ( ! ) commit suicide .\nanytime someone asks me for a movie recommendation , i always ask ,\nhave you seen solaris ?\nthe movie is gorgeous and the score even more so .\ni can recall seeing solaris for the first time and being totally taken away by the film . the directing , editing , acting , set design , story , philosophy and psychology of the motion picture . however , none of this would be relevant if it were for the soundtrack of the movie , for it was the glue behind soderbergh ' s vision . cliff martinez brings ambient music to a whole new level with the selections from this soundtrack . the music is spacey , aloof , haunting and beautiful all at the same time . i have been able to listen to this music strictly as background or foreground . i can ' t recall how many times i put this cd on in the background while i typed papers during grad school . i have purchased other soundtracks by cliff martinez , narc and wicker park . those are also great cds and if one likes the music from solaris , then they should consider those cds as well . however regardless of how good both those cds are , solaris is still by far my favorite . i know there are many mixed reviews about solaris ( 2002 ) , but i loved it . i also own the original film and the original soundtrack . both of them are wonderful and worth owning . as for the cliff martinez soundtrack , one can enjoy it regardless if they have seen the film , love it or hate it . these feelings take nothing away from the music . a must have for anyone who loves melodies of a remitting tapestry .\nsoderbergh ' s vision of the novel is less of a remake of tarkovsky ' s film , but more so a different interpretation and depiction .\nalso , i like the interpretation that solaris is god - like . it does explain many things . but , having read the novel , solaris was not god - like , just completely alien to us humans . lem seemed strongly to make the point that we should not expect life on other planets to be anything like our expectations .\ntwo character ' s names vary a great deal in the different versions of this story . the female character is known as\nrhea\nin the english translation of the novel ,\nrheya\nin the film , and\nharey\nin the original polish . in the 1972 version , she is known as\nhari / khari\nin the subtitles and russian dialogue , and\ncarrie\nin the english dubbing . the doctor is known as\nsnow\nin the english translation of the novel , and the 2002 film , but in the tarkovsky version , he is known\nsnaut\nin the subtitles and russian dialogue , and\nstroud / strowd\nin the english dub .\nsolaris is a planet that orbits a binary . it has developed its own \u201cintelligence\u201d , whatever that may mean to a planet - spanning protoplasmic ocean with powers that appear supernatural .\naccording to recent reviews of steven soderbergh ' s new movie the good german , soderbergh uses the pseudonym peter andrews for his work as cinematographer on his films , and the name mary ann bernard for his work as a film editor . why do filmmakers use pseudonyms to conceal their involvement in a film ?\nbut once the novelty of the space station has worn off , the movie ' s atmosphere begins to feel uncomfortably cramped and stifling . for ' ' solaris ' ' is a science - fiction film lacking action - adventure sequences . the absence of boyish friskiness , kineticism and pyrotechnics makes it a film that offers no vicarious physical release . its insistence on remaining cerebral and somber to the end may be a sign of integrity , but it should cost it dearly at the box office .\nthe rating was based on a couple scenes in which the 41 - year - old clooney\u2019s backside is bare \u2014 which soderbergh and the studio claimed wasn\u2019t enough to merit the more - mature designation . the motion picture association of america , which determines film ratings , eventually relented and agreed to release \u201csolaris\u201d with a pg - 13 rating . makers of the film hope the lower rating will draw larger audiences , but now clooney is concerned the attention will be focused primarily on his posterior

poem , dylan thomas\u2019 \u201c and death shall have no dominion \u201c , and the ending of the film . if nothing else , the link highlights solaris\u2019 thematic exploration of love after death . chris ends up getting what he most clearly wished for , regardless of the other consequences . true love through death , maybe . ]\nsomething conscious on solaris was able to reach inside the consciousness of the people on - board the space station prometheus and contact them in a way that was both profound and disturbing .\n9 . in the original english film screenplay , chris describes the physical nature of solaris : \u201cit exists in a continuum that wasn ' t proven until ten years ago , a higher mathematical dimension superimposed on top of the universe . an infinite number of them , in fact . it was a violation of all of our various laws regarding the universe , space , or space - time . it was completely counter - intuitive . we had to unlearn everything . \u201d does this description bolster snow\u2019s contention that solaris is god ?\nbut there\u2019s no denying that some hints may be required in order to appreciate the film jut a little bit more . if you can tolerate a few paragraphs of random rambling , keep on reading , because i\u2019ll share my own take on the film , and maybe - hopefully ! - help you along the way .\nthe link is clear , solaris is god . the movie touches on a very basic human desire , the do over . chris regretted not being there for his wife , and solaris gives him that chance . back at his apartment , rheya appears , and she says , all is forgiven , and the do over is validated . who but god can forgive sins ?\ndr . kelvin is a psychiatrist by trade and certainly well - versed on the school of thought of abnormal psychology as defined by the freudian school . in a candid interview with fellow crew member gordon , gordon assesses her own condition by rattling off a laundry list of disorders she\u2019s begun experiencing due to her proximity to the planet solaris : depression , hypomania , insomnia , amongst others . it is only when second rheya appears that kelvin himself understands the true nature of the warnings raised by snow and gordon . rationalizing the relationship with second rheya proves problematic on a number of levels . firstly : how does solaris create these visitors ? while the film wisely never chooses to provide an answer to the impossible , what is revealed is that solaris interacts with a host\u2019s memories to create their visitors . it seems that solaris is a feminine creator that conjoins with the mental output of the host to produce .\n[ december 2009 : nate writes to add : \u201cthe ending to solaris is pretty clear if you follow the literary cues throughout the film . at the dinner party they discuss the idea of god and rhea ( named after the greek goddess , the \u201cmother of the gods\u201d ) becomes upset with his atheism , apropos the concept of the afterlife . it is clear that he is swallowed up by solaris , but they don\u2019t imply that he \u201cdied\u201d . the entire movie is in a suspension , a purgatory . assuming that the last part is part of the afterlife only fits in with the grander stage of the metaphor . he couldn\u2019t resolve his relationship with rhea on earth or purgatory ( the land of ghosts ) because rhea outside of solaris was nothing but a facsimile of her essence based on his perception . assuming solaris is a metaphor for a platonic god , which is suggested many times , there are mentions of its omniscience , rhea inside solaris would be the quintessence of rhea . the last scene is the afterlife , they will live forever ( the cut finger heals ) . stanislov lem is known for his philosophical and existential theories , and this is very apparent in solaris . when seen through this tradition , the story is actually quite elegant , literal and succinct . \u201d ]\nreally enjoyed this film , its a keeper . only focuses on part of the book really but in a really thoughful way . i ' ve got the original film , and the book and now this . . somehow all three together all go toward making perfect sense out

intentions that it literally boggles the mind . we are meant to question the existence of the manifestation and wonder on the validity of the planet ' s intelligence . nothing is spelled out in this film and i for one think that it ' s better for it . this film thrives in a spiritual sense and it should be different for each viewer to determine what is real and what is of the mind . i think this is a very special way to handle such a strong concept and frankly its the only way to go for this film . even in the beginning of the film , we are placed into a world that never fully felt tangible , always lost in a cloudy like dream . the pacing is so patient and the visuals so vivid that we ' re disconnected from any kind of reality right off the bat , so i think that it ' s perfect for the film to leave you in a constant state of questions without concrete answers . this very idea is what makes solaris so intriguing and captivating .\nzwar besticht solaris mit durchaus gelungenen bildern und einen sch\u00f6nen , unaufdringlichen score , dennoch konnte der film bei mir keine gef\u00fchle wecken . so finde ich hier weder philosophische tiefe , noch gut konstruierte science

. jeremy davies als snow ist durch sein gesten - acting kaum zu ertragen und bietet eigentlich gar nichts um den plot voranzubringen . generell , wenn es um details geht zeigt sich solaris

filmmakers , but in steven soderbergh \u2018s case , he had his own reasons for providing a new take on stanis\u0142aw lem \u2018s sci - fi novel solaris . while the 2002 george clooney - led film received a divisive critical response , audiences were less than enthused , as it received the infamous \u201cf\u2019 cinemascore \u2014 although , one can hardly be surprised , considering its marketing sold an action - suspense thriller from its executive producer james cameron , the man that brought you aliens and the terminator series . as it recently passed its 10 - year - anniversary , we still find a great deal to love in soderbergh\u2019s take , which delivers a striking , emotionally resonant romance , a distinct , worthy deviation from tarkovsky\u2019s meditative masterpiece . \u2013 jordan r .\n' ' solaris ' ' observes its characters in semi - shadow much of the time . mr . clooney ' s eyes glisten through the gloom like shiny black coals studded into a craggy twilit

brand , insanely derivative knock - off of the franchise kicked off by the harold ramis - directed , john hughes - written smash of the reagan era . the insane thievery begins with a title that\u2019s more or less a clumsy synonym for vacation . naming a self - cannibalizing national lampoon vacation rip - off holiday reunion would be like national lampoon following up animal house with a wholly unrelated sex comedy called national lampoon\u2019s beast fraternity building .\nthis movie was very different than other national lampoon ' s vacation movies . it was ok but not that funny .\nnational lampoon\u2019s holiday reunion\u2019 s plot calls for the wealthy anesthesiologist to receive a missive from his long - lost cousin woody , who wants to reunite with his more successful relative for a good old fashioned family thanksgiving . the doctor\u2019s family is unenthused about leaving their comfort zone and interacting with strange people but the highly paid medical professional seizes upon this as an opportunity to finally experience a norman rockwell - style traditional holiday .\nif national lampoon\u2019s holiday reunion isn\u2019t an official part of the vacation canon it is more or less a shot - by - shot knockoff of the sequences from vacation involving chevy chase\u2019s clark griswold and his uptight upper - middle - class family being traumatized by screaming vulgarity of randy quaid\u2019s instantly and unfortunately iconic cousin eddie .\nugh , i am sick of this whole\nnational lampoon\nmovie thing . the only truly funny laugh out loud , and hillarious national lampoon movies are the vacation series , other than that . . .\ni know what you\u2019re thinking : yes , i subjected myself to another national lampoon film . despite the similarity in titles , holiday reunion is not a sequel to previous movie of the day class reunion , instead taking its inspiration from the brand\u2019s signature vacation series ( the film\u2019s tagline acknowledges this , stating \u201cthis family trip is no vacation\u201d ) .\ni would like to know why they took thanksgiving out of this movie ? this movie came on tv today , i was looking for thanksgiving movies as there are not many at all .\nthe tbs \u201coriginal\u201d movie\u2019s word - salad of a title would be shameless and borderline unforgivable even if a movie entitled national lampoon\u2019s class reunion ( also written by a young and hungry john hughes ) didn\u2019t already exist , and if lindsay buckingham\u2019s wonderfully catchy theme song to vacation wasn\u2019t called \u201choliday road . \u201d\nlike the vacation movies , national lampoon\u2019s holiday reunion reserves much of its derision , judgment and sour mockery for the poor and uneducated , but it really hates everybody . it\u2019s primarily classist , but it\u2019s just as misanthropic . yet after an endless parade of limply executed fart jokes and sex jokes and dumb redneck jokes , the film inexplicably attempts to eke some emotion and pathos out its characters .\nthe dvd box for holiday reunion quips , \u201cthis family trip is no vacation\u201d , which is both true and untrue . holiday reunion desperately wants to be a vacation movie but can\u2019t measure up to their low , low standards . thirteen years later , holiday reunion is notable mainly for being cranston\u2019s professional rock bottom . its existence serves as a stark and brutally unfunny reminder that even the very best of us can do egregiously awful work .\nbut don\u2019t worry : a national tour is set to kick off in fall 2019 .\nall mitch snider wants for his family is a traditional holiday feast with the relatives . the problem is that he doesn ' t have any . that is until he gets an invitation in the mail from his long - lost cousin woodrow . what follows is a full - course meal of nonstop laughs when the neurotic suburbanites clash with the hippy hicks from hell in national lampoon ' s most outrageous family misadventure yet .\nholiday reunion even has woody and his cousin shower together for the sake of gay - panic jokes that announce themselves clumsily , then linger for far too long . national lampoon\u2019s holiday reunion intermittently aspires to the comedy of awkwardness and discomfort . but in scenes like the one where woody and pauline practically dry - hump in front of the doctor and his wife\u2019s disapproving eyes there is no comedy to be found , only profound awkwardness and discomfort . that extends to the audience and the filmmakers .\nthis movie was really , really , really bad . i can ' t believe it was even made . i thought national lampoon would have written a better movie . avoid this movie .\na famous hollywood anesthetist yearns for a more simple , authentic reality , so when his long lost cousin invites him over for thanksgiving , he drags his snotty spoiled family along to meet what of course turn out to be a bunch of rednecks with a heart of gold .\nregister so you can check out ratings by your friends , family members , and like -

shaven , woody is almost preternaturally hirsute . where walter white is a genius , woody is dim - witted almost to the point of being mentally challenged . where walter white is a control freak , woody is a shambling mess . most importantly , where walter white was a brilliant character and performance in a television show people adore , woody is a terrible character and performance in a movie that\u2019s an abomination even by late - period national lampoon standards .\n[ a ] s crass and disgusting as a movie can get and still be aired on basic cable . . .\nyep , that\u2019s right . before he shaved his head to play a glowering psychotic the world fell in love with , and became one of our most beloved , respected and acclaimed thespians , bryan cranston thoroughly embarrassed himself as a misbegotten cross between cousin eddie , woody harrelson in full - on hippie dippy stoner moon child mode ( cranston\u2019s character is even named woody , for christ\u2019s sake ) , and harry and lloyd from dumb & dumber . in white , cranston created one of pop culture\u2019s true originals , but cranston\u2019s spaced - out goofball is as shamelessly derivative in conception and execution as everything else in the movie .\nwhen the doctor and his family show up at woody\u2019s house they are mortified to discover that their cousin is a shaggy - haired , muttonchops - sporting space cadet hippie caricature with an unfortunate predilection for invading people\u2019s personal spaces , often while unclothed . like all good proper americans , mitch and his uptight wife understandably see sex as something gross and sick and wrong , that should be done privately , and shamefully , and only for the purpose of procreation .\nin a cynical attempt to be something more than bottom - feeding schlock , holiday reunion forces unconvincing epiphanies and redemptive emotional arcs on its lead characters . the doctor learns to be less uptight and more sexual ( leading to a film - closing bestiality gag that sadly ends the movie on an characteristically gross note ) while woody learns to stand up and be a hero and be the man his family needs and other assorted crap .\nthis made -

stoner - hippie - rednecks , however , woody and his equally spacey wife pauline ( penelope anne miller ) flaunt their sexuality in ways guaranteed to horrify both the squares in their family and the squares in the audience . woody and pauline think nothing of making out hardcore for a seeming eternity in front of their cousins , or ambiguously trying to rope them into a semi -

called\ndarwinian capitalism\n\u2014 one can easily imagine spending decades paying off a lamborghini \u2014 it ' s astonishing how dreary this all is . even the minutemen , a wandering cadre of time bandits , are so prettily effete they would have been kicked out of alex ' s gang of droogs in a clockwork orange . and poor cillian murphy , playing a cop - like character known as a timekeeper who suspects will of murder , is given little to do but drive . and collect his per diem .\nproblem is , the movie doesn ' t commit to any of the several directions in which it meanders . is the romantic triangle poignant , or a gimmick ? do the guys joke and make small talk during robberies because this is a comedy , or because they are pathological narcissists ? the flashback structure is an annoyance , and by the time it is justified , it ' s too late : we ' ve already been annoyed . one of the joys of barry levinson ' s \u201cwag the dog\u201d ( 1997 ) was the way he juggled tones , moving from satire to suspense to politics . this time it ' s the audience who feels juggled .\nborn in 1955 in hot springs , arkansas , billy bob thornton eventually moved to los angeles , determined to make his living as an actor . in 1996 his career took off when he wrote , starred in and directed sling blade , which was awarded an oscar for best adapted screenplay . also earning an acting oscar nod for his role in a simple plan , he later directed all the pretty horses and has co -

night gig at the depp ' s nightclub , the viper room on september 29 , 1996 with the intention of asking the writer about doing a film version of his book . the opportunity never materialized but the two began corresponding via faxes .\neven so , the film might have earned a grudging pass had seyfried and timberlake possessed one iota of chemistry . instead seyfried , whose enormous wig and abbreviated wardrobe transform her into a goggle - eyed bratz doll , seems as unappealing to her costar as she is to us . wobbling ridiculously on six - inch heels throughout \u2014 despite making several pit stops to change clothes and draw breath , sylvia inexplicably never grabs a pair of sneakers \u2014 this usually appealing actress is dragged through the film like so much luggage .\nafter attending the festival in 1954 as honorary president , on his return with fat city in 1972 john huston said , \u201c i rarely go to film festivals . the only one as such that\u2019s worth a damn is edinburgh . my god , it\u2019s unique . \u201d\nsylvain chomet ' s the illusionist was the opening gala of the 64th festival , celebrating a unique hand - drawn animation set in edinburgh . the film is based on an unproduced script written by jacques tati in 1956 , between mon oncle a nd play time .\ndepp was given complete access to every memento the writer saved from his 1971 trip to las vegas . the actor read through the writer ' s notebooks ( which included an unpublished chapter entitled ,\nthe coconut scene ,\nwhich gilliam placed in the film ) only to realize that\nthe freakiest thing was that it was all real , that the reality was as insane as the book .\nhe rummaged through thompson ' s wardrobe at the time : hawaiian shirts , a patchwork jacket , a safari hat , and a silver medallion given to him by acosta . thompson graciously allowed depp to wear it all in the film . thompson even let depp borrow the red shark : the giant fire engine red convertible that the author took to vegas , which was also used in the film .\nthe movie , directed by barry levinson and written by harley peyton ( \u201ctwin peaks\u201d ) , is told in a flashback and actually begins with the news that the two men have been shot dead after a failed hostage situation . cut to a tabloid tv show whose host got an exclusive interview shortly before the final shootout ; joe and terry narrate their career , try to justify themselves , and say kate was an innocent hostage and not a fellow criminal . eventually the film works its way back to the fatal robbery it began with , and to the classic line , \u201cthe suspects are in a shootout with themselves . \u201d the film has laughs sprinkled here and there . i liked the way the confused terry asks joe , \u201cwhat ' s on our mind ? \u201d and the way kate ' s preoccupied husband , a self - involved hotshot , goes on tv to tell the kidnapped woman : \u201ci ' m going to spain next week . if the kidnappers want to reach me , they can get in touch with my people . \u201d and i liked the jolly little fireplug of a bank manager who is delighted to meet the \u201csleepover bandits\u201d in person , but cannot take them seriously .\nmany filmmakers over the years had tried to make films out of hunter s . thompson ' s books but the first completed effort didn ' t surface until 1980 with where the buffalo roam . art linson ' s film liberally mixed thompson ' s real life with his books and starred bill murray and peter boyle as thompson and oscar acosta ( a . k . a . dr . gonzo ) , respectively . thompson even served as a consultant on the film but this did little to translate the author ' s warped vision to the big screen . while watching buffalo roam , it becomes readily apparent that , despite murray ' s inspired performance , director linson had no idea what thompson ' s books were trying to say . the film seems more like a collection of rather tame highlights from the man ' s work .\nedinburgh international film festival was founded in 1947 as the\nfirst international festival of documentary films\n. opened with a ceremony at the playhouse cinema , speeches of welcome were made before the very first films : the cumberland story , the seventh age and the festival of youth .\nfor the opening gala screening of betty blue at the playhouse in 1986 , the festival paid for a new screen to be installed to ensure a flawless image . director jean - jacques beineix , whose groundbreaking diva premiered at eiff in 1981 , was present to support the film .\ngilliam also felt that the more surreal parts of the book could be transferred onto film if done right . for example , the imaginary bats that duke sees on the highway at the beginning of the book was one such passage the director felt could be translated into visual terms .\nthe theme of the festival in 1962 was the film and the literature , in celebration of the inspiration cinema has found in books , featuring screenings of such classic literary adaptations as a streetcar named desire , the innocents , last year at marienbad , wuthering heights and the quiet american .\nif you like world cinema or musicals , you might like this . it ' s full of girl power and feminism . the story is unrealistic but if you look at it as a musical you could consider it a fantasy film . i enjoyed it , very different from hollywood films .\nin the future ,\nthis one begins ,\n1997\n. . . and its off to the excess races after that sublime proclamation in this postcard homage to those popcorn eaters of glorious youth when everything , even eating popcorn , was played bigger , larger than life , especially if it wasn ' t that at all . you ' ll need a raincoat for the buckets of corn syrupy blood splattered everywhere , and there ' s more android love here as a child of the wasteland fighting the corrupt powers that be , discovers a babe robot ( enough with the advertising , i ' m ready for my babe robot right now ! ) in the process . echoes of mad max thunderdome just everywhere , too , especially the souped up hotrods everybody be riding . what ' s not to enjoy ?\nwhen georges franju attended eiff in 1959 with les yeux sans visage ( eyes without a face ) he left intending to make a film in scotland , taking with him copies of confessions of a justified sinner and the house with the green shutters - something which sadly did not come to pass .\nthe documentary 50 event was hosted during the festival celebrating the founding of the british documentary film movement in 1929 with john grierson ' s the drifters , and with many of the key players in attendance including forsyth hardy , harry watt , edgar anstey , charles oakley and d . a . pennebaker .\ndavid mackenzie ' s young adam screened as the festival ' s opening gala , and won the audience award , in 2003 . based on alexander trocchi ' s novel , the film was a veritable showcase of british talent : it starred ewan mcgregor , emily mortimer , peter mullan and tilda swinton .\nfear and loathing contains many funny moments , bits of dialogue , and visual zingers as duke and dr . gonzo make their way through the surreal landscape that is las vegas . the humour in this film is simultaneously disturbing and hilarious - - a pitch - black satire of american culture and excess .\nto bad i was not well informed in my youth ! ! ! this movie was phenominal ! not only was the plot very well paced but the music was incredible ( i bought the soundtrack too ! ) . what i found interesting that the movie was done in german and was subtitled in english but all of the songs were done in english . what i also found surprising is that all the songs were done by the actresses and they were not and never were a group ! they could have been a very , very good all girl rock band ! do an imbd search of bandits to get a synopsis of the plot and all i can say is get the movie and find the soundtrack if you can !\nnewly appointed eiff patron karen gillan attended the 69th festival as a member of the michael powell jury , joining kenny turan and ian hart , and in support of her short film coward . karen was returning to edinburgh after her visit to the festival in 2013 for the closing gala not another happy ending .\nthis is the kind of film that people will either really love or hate - - there is no middle ground . gilliam ' s film is going to be one of those movies that ' s destined to become an instant cult item . as hunter s . thompson puts it in the book ,\nthere he goes , one of god ' s own prototypes . a high - powered mutant of some kind , never even considered for mass production . too weird to live , too rare to die .\nfear and loathing in las vegas is pure gonzo filmmaking for people who like weird , challenging films .\nkelly macdonald attended the rainy european premiere of disney pixar ' s brave , the 2012 closing gala . kelly provided the voice of merida , the film ' s lead . eiff has hosted premieres of many pixar films over the years including wall - e , toy story 3 , inside out and finding dory .\nin 1972 lynda myles , laura mulvey and claire johnston programmed a season of films dedicated to women directors that was truly groundbreaking and the first of its kind in europe . the following year , myles was appointed as artistic director of the festival , the first ever female director of a film festival anywhere in the world .\nthe festival screened hellmuth costard\u2019s football as never before in which several 16mm cameras followed george best in close - up for the whole match between manchester united and coventry city . rarely seen since and thought to be a \u2018lost\u2019 film , it was recently unearthed for a screening in dublin on the 10th anniversary of george\u2019s death .\ni think that this is indeed some kind of genius film , but in a really demented way that i would have a hard time verbalizing to someone who didn ' t tap into what gilliam is trying to do . i can see why fear and loathing received a critical shellacking from all the usual pundits ( ebert et al . ) . it ' s a very odd film - - a 128 - minute acid trip from beginning to end with no respite , no rest stops , and no objective distance from which to view the whole insane picture safely . you are plunged headlong into this weird , wild world along with the characters .\nwilliam friedkin ' s controversial killer joe , starring matthew mcconaughey , juno temple and gina gershon , was the festival ' s opening gala in chris fujiwara ' s first year as artistic director . the exorcist and the french connection director friedkin came to edinburgh with gina gershon to present the film to audiences at the festival theatre .\nabel gance ' s 5 hour epic napoleon closed festival director jim hickey ' s first eiff with carl davis ' live score performed to a capacity audience in the playhouse - the largest audience to see the film in britain since it was made in 1927 . the screening was promoted with a parade through the grassmarket in august 1981 .\nsigourney weaver was in edinburgh for the festival ' s 60th edition , receiving an eiff diamond award for outstanding contribution to world cinema and attending the premiere of her latest film , snow cake , which also starred alan rickman . tilda swinton , d . a . pennebaker , mike leigh and ken loach were also presented with awards .\nthe golden thistle award was presented by george singleton to carol reed marking him as one of the most distinguished figures of the british film scene . the festival included a season of his work ; odd man out , the fallen idol , the third man , an outcast of the islands , the man between and our man in havana .\ndepp ' s research culminated after a week when thompson shaved almost all of the actor ' s hair for the film and entrusted him with the very car he used in the trip . the actor soon became thompson ' s roadie and in charge of security for the proud highway ( a collection of thompson ' s letters ) book tour .\nannie hall opened the 31st festival at the abc cinema , beginning a longstanding association with the work of woody allen who , impressed by the faith shown in the film , specifically requested that the festival host the uk premiere of manhattan in 1979 . eiff also premiered broadway danny rose ( 1984 ) and the purple rose of cairo ( 1985 ) .\nmark cousins ' first festival as artistic director presented the premiere of the usual suspects , a film that went on to become one of the most iconic of the decade , with kevin spacey winning an oscar for his performance . also screening in 1995 were the basketball diaries , desperado , small faces and eiff audience award winner muriel ' s wedding .\nterry gilliam seemed like the perfect choice to direct this film . the theme of insanity had always figured into his films but has since taken a more prominent role with his last couple of projects . as a result , fear and loathing completes an informal trilogy based on madness that includes the fisher king ( 1991 ) and twelve monkeys ( 1995 ) .\nas a throwback to a retro 1980s style , it is a pity that it looks so cheap and goofy as if made by someone who had just left film school without a dime in his pocket , but despite its flaws , it is an entertaining pastiche full of energy , with leboeuf and ironside stealing the show and obviously having a lot of fun .\ncontinuing his high - profile work , thornton headlined the 2003 comedy bad santa , and the following year he played davy crockett opposite dennis quaid & apos ; s sam houston in the big - budget feature the alamo . he also starred in the 2005 remake of bad news bears , drawing favorable reviews amid the film & apos ; s otherwise mixed reception .\ncolumbia planned to quietly release the controversial easy rider and were concerned that the 1969 eiff premiere would take place in the 3 , 000 seat playhouse , with peter fonda in attendance . they threatened never to premiere another film at edinburgh . and then they saw the queue - hell\u2019s angels from fife lined the pavement all the way up to the balmoral hotel .\neiff began the tradition of surprise movies in 1989 with peter greenaway\u2019s controversial the cook , the thief , his wife and her lover , revealing the identity of the film only once the audience were in their seats . pulp fiction , la confidential , spirited away , my name is joe and the bourne identity were all screened as surprise movies at the festival .\nbilly connolly and judi dench both attended eiff in lizzie francke ' s first year as artistic director for the premiere of mrs brown at the dominion cinema . the film was an unexpected smash , transforming the career of hitherto unknown director john madden , who went on to helm shakespeare in love , captain corelli ' s mandolin and the best exotic marigold hotel .\nall of these items only enhance depp ' s performance . in the film , he has literally transformed into duke / thompson , complete with the man ' s unusual bow - legged walk , sweeping arm movements , mumbling speech pattern , and the trademark dunhill cigarettes in a holder between clenched teeth . it ' s an incredible performance that transcends simple mimicry .\ngilliam found that the american press refused to\neven talk about fear and loathing . they won ' t say , ' ban the film ' - - they ' re too liberal for that - - so instead they seem to have adopted this attitude of , oh , maybe if we don ' t talk about it , it ' ll go away . that ' s modern america all over .\nand judging by fear and loathing ' s quick demise at the box office and subsequent disappearance from theatres , this strategy worked . while most critics praised depp and del toro ' s performance , most found gilliam ' s film to be a muddled mess with no coherent structure : just one long debauched road trip .\ntwo friends and convicts , joe ( bruce willis ) and terry ( billy bob thornton ) , break out of oregon state penitentiary in a concrete mixing truck and start a bank robbing spree , hoping to fund a dream they share . they become known as the\nsleepover bandits\nbecause of their modus operandi : they kidnap the manager of a target bank the night before a planned robbery , then spend the night with the manager ' s family ; early the next morning , they accompany the manager to the bank to get their money . using dim - witted would - be stunt man harvey pollard ( troy garity ) as their getaway driver and lookout , the three successfully pull off a series of robberies that gets them recognition on the fbi ' s ten most wanted list , and ultimately the reward for information leading to their capture is increased to $ 1 million .\nlars von trier ' s controversial dancer in the dark opened the festival in 2000 , after winning the palme d ' or at cannes . bj\u00f6rk , in her only role to date , won best actress at both cannes and the european film awards . the 54th festival also saw premieres of beautiful creatures , amores perros , audition and eiff audience award winner billy elliot .\nwhile watching movies about music or musicians , i often sympathize with these poor bastards of actors : the script requires them to play - say - a guitar , but they obviously have no clue as to how to even hold this instrument . and then the singing voice sounds so suspiciously different from the one they talk with . . . in this respect , ' bandits ' is a welcome surprise : obviously , these actresses know far more than just the pure basics of their instruments and deliver a convincing performance as a rock band . and sitting through to the end of the credits reveals that they not only did their own singing , but wrote the major part of the music and lyrics by themselves , most notably\nluna\njasmin tabatabai . for me , the great music more than compensates for the rather fantastic , sometimes clich\u00e9d plot with some minor holes . all in all , a remarkable movie !\nbill forsyth , having first attended the festival in 1969 , returned with that sinking feeling in 1979 , and 1984 ' s opening gala , comfort and joy , which screened to a capacity audience at the playhouse . he was back in edinburgh in 1987 for a special screening of his recently completed film housekeeping - so recently that it missed the deadline for eiff ' s printed programme .\nralph steadman , who illustrated the book , was a good friend of gilliam and began to bug him over the years to do a film version of fear and loathing . in 1989 , gilliam remembers a\nscript turned up which briefly got me excited about the book again , but i was busy with another project and i ultimately decided that the script didn ' t capture the story properly .\nthe festival , in hannah mcgill ' s first year as artistic director , premiered the feature film debut of acclaimed photographer and music video director anton corbijn , who has photographed bob dylan , r . e . m . , bruce springsteen , bj\u00f6rk and u2 . control , a biopic on the life of the late ian curtis , lead singer of joy division , went on to win the michael powell award .\nfrom there , the pace never slackened as gilliam and company shot fear and loathing on location in a fast 56 days on a lean budget ( by hollywood standards ) of $ 18 . 5 million .\none of the reasons i made this film ,\ngilliam remembers ,\nwas to push myself and see if i could still work the way i used to : fast , furiously and cheaply .\naround the 3 / 4 - way mark , fear and loathing veers off into some really dark territory as the horror that accompanies chemical dependency rears its ugly head . i was worried that this element would be lost in the transfer from book to film and that it was going to be simply a\nstraight\ncomedy . thankfully , the darker edge of the book has been retained and reinforced in spades .\njohn huston was honorary president of the festival in 1953 , and returned in 1972 when he proclaimed eiff to be \u201cthe only film festival as such that\u2019s worth a damn\u201d . gene kelly came to edinburgh in 1956 for the premiere of invitation to the dance at the new victoria cinema , stating ,\ni have always been a confirmed believer in the\nfilm festival\nas an incentive to higher standards of creative work , and anyone who has been to edinburgh will tell you that every visitor leaves with the resolve to do better things .\nclint eastwood , nick nolte , kathryn bigelow , sean connery , ewan mcgregor , chloe sevigny , richard e . grant , sigourney weaver , jennifer lawrence and robert carlyle - \u2013 just a few of the many amazing guests to have graced the festival with their presence over the years .\nbeyond gags about pools tables , behavioural patterns and material possessions , the castle reminds us of the value of small gestures , assuming the best in people , picking your fights and being fiercely loyal to those you love . when offered a tidy packet to sell his home , darryl responds with a line that distills the film ' s emotional essence :\nyou can ' t buy what i ' ve got .\nwith the festival ' s title expanded to include ' realist , documentary , experimental ' , the opening gala of jack lee ' s adaptation of eric williams ' book the wooden horse represented another subtle move away from documentary - though based on real experience , the film was a studio picture albeit a low - budget one . sunday times journalist dilys powell described it as having\nthe poetry of unrehearsed adventure\n.\nset in an unspecified future where people are genetically programmed to time out at the age of 25 , the film echoes michael anderson ' s 1976 hoot logan ' s run , whose characters were catapulted into the sky at 30 unless they did a runner . but while anderson never lost sight of his film ' s primary pleasures \u2014 miniskirts , monorails and a lithe jenny agutter \u2014 niccol refuses to lighten up . in his us - versus - them dystopia , time can only be traded , earned or stolen , so the wealthy live forever while the rest of us survive on a minimum wage of 24 hours . credits and debits are transmitted by means of a glowing green bar code on your forearm , and since a bus ride can set you back 2 hours of your life ( and a car around 20 years ) , the poor do a lot of walking .\n1994 saw the premiere of shallow grave , with danny boyle , ewan mcgregor , christopher eccleston and kerry fox in attendance . the film was a breakthrough for boyle and mcgregor in particular , both of whom have maintained a close relationship with eiff . clerks , dazed & confused , killing zoe , muriel ' s wedding and the last of england also screened at the 48th festival , the latter in tribute to the recently departed derek jarman .\nthis was likely achieved intuitively rather than engineered \u2013 sitch has spoken about how his father inspired darryl ' s character \u2013 and the secret can be found in the proverbial pool room . it is not the gaudy mugs and tacky souvenirs it contains that are in important , but the sentimental value they hold . likewise , it is not the characters ' plebeian behaviour that holds the film ' s focus but the sincere place from which it emerges .\nwhat was it about the castle that connected so strongly with critics and audiences ? the wonderful thing about rob sitch ' s magnum opus ( he also directed the dish , a pleasantly fluffy souffl\u00e9 of historical recreation , and working dog ' s shamelessly american - brand romcom any questions for ben ? ) aren ' t the jokes , which flow thick and fast , but the way in which the film manages to balance deprecation with tenderness and warmth ."]}

pleasures come about . a sense - pleasure arises from the gratification of a desire , in the following way . first of all , a desire arises and creates a kind of tension in the mind of the being which feels the desire . since this tension is felt as unpleasant , the being is then impelled to get rid of it by gratifying the desire . when the desired object is obtained , the desire is gratified , and the tension in the mind is relaxed . from the relaxation of the tension flows a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment , a greater or lesser degree of happiness or pleasure . now , as long as existence continues ( for the continuity of existence itself is , in the buddhist view , contingent upon the desire for it ) , desires of one kind and another will be continually arising , at every moment , and agitating the mind . this means that the relaxation of tension , and hence the pleasure of happiness , which comes from their gratification can never be anything but temporary and incomplete .\nnow , having surrendered attachment both to the world and to his own body , the monk can concentrate all his efforts on the true source of ill , which is his mind . sitting in a quiet spot , he strives to cleanse his mind of what are known as the\nfive hindrances .\nthe text describes the process as follows :\nsecondly , one might reply that not only is deliberate selfishness impossible for a true follower of the buddha , for he will be aiming at the destruction of\nself ,\nbut also , as was seen above , kindness and compassion towards all living things are enjoined on the monk as an indispensable part of the path . after he has succeeded in his aim , and attained final deliverance , he will continue to live only for the sakes of others , in order to pull them\nout of the mire .\nthe buddha himself set the example in this , and when his first sixty monks had realized nirvana , he sent them out singly to preach with those words :\ngo your way , monks , for the benefit of the many : for the happiness of the many , out of compassion for the world , for the welfare , the benefit , the happiness of gods and men\n( vinaya , mahavagga ) .\nwhat , then , of the weaker vessels among the laity who may not have the opportunity , the ability , or even the desire to renounce the world ? it would be a mistake here to imagine that the buddhist is called upon to make an immediate , once - and - for - all choice between samsara and nirvana , renouncing the world in the same spirit as the candidate for christian baptism renounces satan and all his works . for a start , there is no need for the buddhist to hurry unless he truly desires to do so . an infinity of deaths and births stretches before him , and he has plenty of time in which to prepare himself for renunciation if he is not yet ready for it \u2014 provided , of course , that he continues to lead a morally blameless life , thus ensuring that he will continue to be born in more or less favorable circumstances in future .\nmexico , the country with the second largest economy in latin america turned left last sunday when andres manuel lopez obrador , affectionately known as almo , candidate of the movement for national . . .\nhaving brought about a subsidence of the five hindrances , he is filled with an exhilarating sense of freedom . the buddha compares his feelings of relief and happiness to those of a man who has just discharged a debt , or recovered from a painful illness , or been freed from prison , or released from slavery , or who has safely crossed a dangerous wilderness . this subsidence of the five hindrances , and the ensuing calmness and happiness of the body and mind , make it possible for the monk to attain what is called the first\nabsorption .\nthis is the first of a series of levels of consciousness which can be achieved by the successful practice of intense concentration of the mind \u2014 a process which is often called , rather vaguely ,\nmeditation .\nthe attainment of these absorptions not only produces a blissfulness that is far beyond the range of worldly pleasures , it is also ( and this is more important to the buddhist ) makes the mind an instrument of knowledge that can transcend the limitations of the senses .\nfor most people , the pleasures of the senses ( and in buddhism , one must remember , this can include the pleasures of the mind ) are the only pleasures , the only source of happiness that they know . naturally , they do not take kindly to the suggestion that they give these up for some far - off and indescribable goal . but it is only ignorance that makes the goal appear dark . the darkness is , as it were , only the objective counterpart of a subjective blindness , and , in fact , as those who have had experience of this forbidding\ndarkness\nrepeatedly assert , the successful abandoning of sense - pleasures brings a happiness far greater than anything that they had known hitherto .\nthe shift began thus from the gramophone age to the radio , radio - gramme phase . to the cassette and c - d era to the e -

love and loss in talk to her and the flower of my secret ; diabolical revenge in the skin i live in ; mother - daughter relations in volver ; and abandonment in his forthcoming julieta . his 2013 comedy i\u2019m so excited seems to exist as an outlier , yet almod\u00f3var started out with this kind of madcap comedy , in films like law of desire and pepi , luci , bom . women on the verge of a nervous breakdown is the film where almod\u00f3var manages to draw upon almost all of his pet themes at the same time . he puts everything into the pot and comes out with a film that\u2019s light , refreshing and tangy .\ntwo men share an odd friendship while they care for two women who are both in deep comas .\na television actress encounters a variety of eccentric characters after embarking on a journey to discover why her lover abruptly left her .\na woman called pepa is going to have a definitive conversation with her lover , who is leaving her . when you split up with someone you are on the verge of a breakdown , you are about to lose control . she goes out in search of him and things happen : her apartment fills up with people who have a range of different problems . at first pepa resents all these people , but in the process of helping them , she realises she has got over her own problem .\nthe almod\u00f3var collection , six of the director\u2019s early films , is out on 19 september .\n' ' women on the verge ' ' takes place in its own , very special farcical universe , where outrageous coincidences are the norm and where logic dictates that a forgotten blender full of spiked gazpacho will be drunk by the wrong person . it ' s also a place where a television anchor is a sweet old grandmother instead of a barely literate sex symbol , and where pepa , an actress , appears in a commercial for a detergent guaranteed to get the blood out of your killer son ' s shirt and trousers .\nin the film carmen maura gives an unforgettable performance as pepa . in her luminous close - ups we see both her desperation and her strength . almod\u00f3var acknowledges maura as his muse , saying he enjoyed her performance so much in the law of desire , his previous feature , that he decided to make women on the verge \u201can overdose of carmen maura\u201d . tamsin greig has a similar ineffable allure .\nfourteen new songs feature , including on the verge and lie to me . the opening song , madrid , contains the lyrics : \u201cmadrid is my mama / give me the nipple , everyday i\u2019m gonna taste it . \u201d madre mia !\nat one point in the swirling mayhem of women on the verge of a nervous breakdown , a character catches sight of what she thinks is a mirror but is in fact a picasso portrait . \u201cmy god , i look dreadful ! \u201d she exclaims . it\u2019s a throwaway gag ( and very funny in context ) , but it\u2019s perhaps also symbolic . with its primary - coloured set , farcical plot , hectic pace and illogical structure , this stage musical of pedro almod\u00f3var\u2019s much - loved 1988 film aims to use splintered style and self - conscious theatricality to get at the fact that life , as experienced , often doesn\u2019t make sense . it\u2019s a second shot for the creative team , who mounted an ill - fated broadway version in 2010 . and it seems apt for a show all about tenacity that this slimmed - down version comes nearer its mark and features stellar performances from tamsin greig and haydn gwynne .\nwhile\nbroken embraces\ngives equal time to men , almodovar said women remain the stronger sex in his stories . the spanish filmmaker said that , until about age 8 , he grew up almost exclusively in the company of his mother and other women , a generation tempered by hard postwar conditions in the 1950s .\nthere ' s a wonderfully jabbing end - of - the - tether quality to the act one finale ( \u201cwelcome to the edge , the verge , the ledge\u201d ) where greig , in specially trained and remarkably serviceable voice , is joined by the rest of the teetering brigade .\npepa ' s suicide quickly takes on the aspects of a dental check - up : it keeps getting sidetracked .\njoin the get the chance group on facebook for updates and opportunities to get involved .\nmiss maura is wonderful as a woman who simply cannot resist fighting back . the actress has a big , no - nonsense screen personality that perfectly fits mr . almodovar ' s raffishly deadpan comic method . watching ' ' women on the verge ' ' while remembering ' ' the human voice , ' ' one experiences the same sense of liberation that bob hoskins feels when he leaves los angeles and enters toontown in ' ' who framed roger rabbit . ' '\nmen or women , this show caters for all , whether it is the relatable narrative , the comical scenes or the unusual take on a musical , this is a show that would be a shame to miss . so much so , i am considering seeing it just one more time , just as a treat !\nreturning to my earlier comment of being slightly controversial on the west end , women on the verge dared to bring a new and unconventional musical to the difficult and notorious scene where musicals consist rarely of productions that are not well - known and usually of whose music everyone already knows , ready to sing along to . as someone who is not hugely into musicals , but is finding slight entertainment in them recently due to the west end , this satirical and broad attempt at a west end musical was right up my street \u2013 the music catchy , with a spanish twist which complimented my love of european and mediterranean culture and dared to bring out a bit of atmosphere in such a small theatre .\nthe plot here follows that of the film closely . pepa ( ms . scott , in the role immortalized on screen by carmen maura ) , is a movie voice dubber , who has just been left by her longtime lover ( and fellow dubber ) , ivan ( mr . mitchell ) . this guy has a history of walking out on women , including his wife , lucia ( ms . lupone ) , newly released from a mental institution and bent on revenge .\nthe movie is big enough to carry these claims . the show is not . a slimmed - down version of the musical put on five years ago in the states , which sher described as \u201cthe most expensive out - of - town try - out in theatre history\u201d , it is elegant and edgy rather than barmy and bumptious . too agreeable to be really disturbing . what\u2019s on the other side of the verge does not look or sound sufficiently momentous .\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 .\nhollywood remake ? almodovar ' s apparently planning a tv series spin -

sexy pepa ( carmen maura ) is forever teetering around atop her skyscraper spikes as she obsesses over iv\u00e1n ( fernando guill\u00e9n ) , the lover who just jilted her over the answering machine ! her neurotic best friend candela ( mar\u00eda barranco ) is seeking refuge at pepa ' s place because she recently realized her lover is a shiite terrorist . and iv\u00e1n ' s ex - wife luc\u00eda ( julieta serrano ) was just released from a 20 - year stint in a mental institution . they ' re all mighty mad - - in fact , they ' re on the verge of a nervous breakdown ? and one of them is about to commit murder unless the other half - crazed femmes fatales can stop her !\nthough the kinky characters and aberrant social behavior common to the works of spanish director pedro almodovar are very evident in his women on the verge of a nervous breakdown , the film is at heart a door - slamming farce in the grand tradition . the tiny apartment of pregnant actress carmen maura is the\ngrand central station\nsetpiece for this dizzying tale . distraught over her recent breakup with her lover , carmen prepares to overdose on sleeping pills , which she blends into a gazpacho so they ' ll go down easier . she is diverted from her suicide by her best friend maria barranco , a fugitive from justice ( her boy friend is a shi ' ite terrorist ) who needs a place to stay . later , when carmen ' s apartment is empty , her ex - lover ' s grown son ( antonio banderas ) comes to the apartment with his fiance ( rossy de palma ) in answer to carmen ' s\nroom to let\nnewspaper ad . the wife inadvertently ingests carmen ' s\npill sauce ,\nand as she blissfully snoozes , the husband inaugurates an affair with carmen ' s friend barranco .\nbut the play ' s worst crime is that it misses the point of the film . in the play , women are masochistic and fragile , in thrall to any man ' s\nblah blah blah\n, as ivan sings . but almodovar ' s point is not merely that evil men hurt poor little women ; it ' s that men are weak and women are amazing . this may be just as sweepingly simplistic but it ' s a lot more sympathetic to both genders and , as a result , a more fun viewing experience .\nlog in here to your digital edition and archive subscription , take a look at the packages on offer and buy a subscription .\na live band will appear on stage , and instead of hollywood references , david yazbek\u2019s score makes heavy use of guitar to set the spanish scene .\nbut \u201cwomen\u201d the movie had momentum and suspense beneath its giddiness . contrasting deliberately artificial visuals ( in the style of 1950s technicolor hollywood melodramas ) with dead earnest emotions , mr . almod\u00f3var\u2019s film exuded , hilariously but hauntingly , the heightened passions we associate with opera . its characters\u2019 distractedness was the distractedness of obsession . the distractedness of \u201cwomen\u201d the musical mostly feels born of indecision and even boredom , as if it kept getting tired of whatever it was doing .\nmost important , it thrusts the onus on to the cast to draw out the bruised feelings behind the fizzing disarray . greig brings her touching tragicomic expertise to pepa and a rich , rough emotional truth to her musical solos . gwynne is superb as the ex - wife and her painful song about the invisibility of middle - aged women gets to the heart of the show .\nboth touching and hilarious , women on the verge is a story about women and the men who pursue them . . . finding them , losing them , needing them and rejecting them . at the center is pepa , whose friends and lovers are blazing a trail through 1980s madrid . along with pepa , there ' s her missing ( possibly philandering ) lover , ivan ; his ex -

( legend has it the studio never officially approved the project until its completion . ) the film juxtaposes the story of one peasant\u2019s hardships with documentary - like shots of farmers toiling in the rice fields . for many years this early sound film survived only in a cut - and - battered german print . this version , still incomplete but considerably longer , is a 2006 restoration incorporating elements from a print discovered in moscow\u2019s gosfilmofond archive in 1999 .\nuchida designed a fugitive from the past with virtuosic , geographical symmetry : the original title is in fact straits of hunger . this is where the film begins and comes to an abrupt end , leaving essential aspects of the resolution unspoken . various stylistic experiments , including the use of negative images and an emphasis on shamanistic elements , intensify the impression of the work ' s supernatural force , while in the center of the film , a concrete , historical void is left wide open : ten years go by between inaki ' s escape in 1947 and the resuming of the action in tokyo . on top of the film ' s implicit subject of japan ' s immediate post - war history , there lies an explicit subject\u2014inaki ' s struggle for survival , concrete and spiritual , and above all : at any price . the film ' s entire critical / historical dimension only develops through the combination of both levels .\nfilm history is full of holes , but some are filled in more reluctantly than others . consider , for example , the strange case of tomu uchida ( 1898 - 1970 ) . in his home country japan , he is considered a canonized master . in the west , he was mostly a name without any practical meaning , at least until a ( still slimmed - down ) touring series in the wake of tokyo filmex\u2019s 2004 13 - film - retrospective made the rounds for a few years , e . g . to international film festival rotterdam in 2005 and new york\u2019s bamcin\u00e9matek in 2008 , allowing for the first time the appreciation of a sizable selection from uchida\u2019s rich and diverse body of work , with emphasis on his fascinating post - war period .\noriginally written in 2005 for the german newspaper taz on the occasion of the touring retrospective . the final sentence now strikes me as a bit too optimistic\u2014possibly uchida\u2019s major films would have to be released in digital home formats to gain more traction in today\u2019s culture , and this still hasn\u2019t happened . their full aesthetic splendor needs to be experienced on film prints , anyway . at least for some lucky few , there are second chances : moma will present an uchida retrospective in october / november 2016 .\nthis original compositional form can be understood as the key to uchida ' s work : gaps and breaks are for him not only essential , aesthetic tools , they have a biographical correlation as well . in the middle of his filmography there is a nearly one and a half decade gap : after the outbreak of the war in the 1940s , uchida went to occupied manchuria , likely because he hoped for better working conditions far from the war - incited rationing at home . only repatriated in 1953 , he directed his first post - war film two years later . we learn in his autobiography ( and not only there ) almost nothing about the time in between .\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 .\nduring world war ii , a japanese soldier finds himself assigned to a kamikaze mission against a u . s . battleship .\na prosecutor , policemen and teacher bring the students vuica and nicu to a restaurant to re -

animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\nthe presence of a new \u201ccinderella , \u201d the latest of a long line of tv and theatrical movies about the fairy - tale lass ( and one lad , if you count jerry lewis in 1960\u2019s \u201ccinderfella\u201d ) , caused me to realize that there seems to be a change in the attitudinal wind when it comes to popular entertainment .\nthe cynical side winks , knowing smirks , throwback references and dead - pan jokes that are hallmarks of post - modern culture are being ever so politely nudged aside by an emerging re - appreciation of old - fashioned sincerity and the pleasures of simply playing it straight .\none of the first signs of this turnabout might have been tim burton \u2019s approach to last year\u2019s \u201c big eyes , \u201d a biopic about margaret keane , the mid - century kitsch queen of the art world , and her struggle to regain credit for her work from her con - man husband .\ngiven the inherent creepiness of keane\u2019s waif portraits , many expected burton\u2019s humorously sinister sensibilities to seep into the beatnik - era clash of low art and high drama . but save for a couple \u201ctwilight zone\u201d - style dream sequences , the filmmaker adhered to telling the true story pretty much as it happened and focused on building sympathy for its main subject .\nthis apparent sincerity revival went global when it arrived in the form of lady gaga \u2019s oscar - night performance of a medley of rodgers and hammerstein songs in honor of \u201cthe sound of music\u2019s\u201d 50th anniversary .\ninstead , gaga materialized as a lilting vision of loveliness in a floaty lily - white frock and delivered near - perfect renditions of \u201cthe sound of music , \u201d \u201cmy favorite things , \u201d \u201cedelweiss\u201d and a soaring \u201cclimb every mountain\u201d with an admirably unflinching reverence .\nand the twitter - verse , which has apparently replaced the gallup poll as a gauge of public opinion , exploded with thunderous approval .\ninto this shifting atmosphere waltzes \u201ccinderella , \u201d disney\u2019s dazzling live - action version of its 1950 animated classic . other recent retellings of storybook favorites by the studio such as \u201c alice in wonderland \u201d and \u201c maleficent \u201d reshaped the material for 21st century tastes , turning lewis carroll\u2019s heroine into a pro - active warrior and upgrading the villainous fairy in \u201csleeping beauty\u201d into a misunderstood victim . even the recent \u201c into the woods \u201d featured a disillusioned cinderella played by anna kendrick .\nbut director kenneth branagh , the shakespearean actor who successfully launched the comic - book - inspired \u201c thor \u201d franchise , eschews any such shadings in his story of the abused orphaned girl who wins the heart of a handsome prince . no dark themes or disturbing notions . no blatant attempts at inserting a mega dose of girlish empowerment or the slapping on of a feminist message . besides , the \u201c frozen \u201d phenom\u2014the basis of the amusing spinoff short , \u201cfrozen fever , \u201d that plays before \u201ccinderella\u201d\u2014has pretty much covered all those revisionist princess bases .\ninstead of letting go of the essence of \u201ccinderella , \u201d branagh boldly chose to embrace every familiar detail of this romantic fantasy : the hearth cinders that give ella her nickname ; the pumpkin that turns into a carriage ; cinderella\u2019s rodent best friends ; and , of course , the glass slippers\u2014courtesy of swarovski . meanwhile , those who have seen everyone from brandy in the 1997 tv musical to anne hathaway in 2004\u2019s \u201c ella enchanted \u201d attempt to step into cinderella\u2019s shoes might wonder why more liberties weren\u2019t taken in this faithful iteration .\nyes , most of us will know exactly where this story is heading , which may lead to some tedium . however , after thinking it over , i realize that branagh and company are probably making this version not just for us jaded adults but for a generation of children who perhaps never had a chance to see \u201ccinderella\u201d on a big screen . for them , it will be a brand new adventure . and , because of that , many parents will appreciate this rather faithful retelling .\nwhat is added mostly elevates the magic spell cast by this centuries - old legend . whether it\u2019s dante ferretti \u2019s sumptuous production designs in refreshing spring - like hues or sandy powell \u2019s eye - popping if anachronistic costumes , \u201ccinderella\u201d offers an array of lavishly frosted eye pastry at every turn .\nmost importantly , branagh and writer chris weitz provide cinderella , who had barely a wisp of a personality in disney\u2019s cartoon original , with a reason to put up with being reduced to an ill - treated servant in the cherished mansion she once shared with her late parents . she could obviously just run away . but instead she dutifully follows the upbeat mantra that her loving mother passed along to her : \u201chave courage and be kind . \u201d\ncasting makes a great deal of difference , too , and branagh has recruited the winningly winsome british beauty lily james to bring cinderella to vivid life . as forward - thinking lady rose on tv\u2019s \u201cdownton abbey ,\njames has capably brought out the best in the sometimes headstrong though charming young woman who nonetheless can look out for herself . and the actress relies on some of that same female fortitude here as well ."]}

titled 1958 feature , and there has been no shortage of other films about other battlefield rescues ; but this one feels different , mainly because of how it ' s made .\nthe film will be shown in a wider format in most cinemas , but i doubt this will lessen the overall effect : this is a pile - driver of a movie , dropping one visual or aural bomb after another , with barely a pause to contemplate what it ' s just shown you . to watch it is to feel beleaguered .\neven channing tatum ' s best role to date ( lol note : this is only through four movies , one of which he isn ' t even in ) can ' t overcome this film ' s gross casual sexism . sure , cameron richardson is gorgeous , but do we need to objectify her literally every time she ' s on screen ?\nthe dvd comes packaged with an alternate ending ( * furious masturbation motions here * ) , a few deleted scenes ( * masturbation motions continue * ) , a making - of documentary that will cause your eyes to glaze over almost immediately ( * masturbation motions cease as sleep envelops the critic * ) , and a commentary with director kevin macdonald ( * resumes * ) . it\u2019s also worth noting that the dvd features both the \u201cunrated\u201d and \u201cpg - 13\u2033 versions of the film . i watched the \u201cunrated\u201d version , but it wasn\u2019t particularly grisly . considering that both versions of the film are the exact same length , though , one wonders if they didn\u2019t just cut - and - paste some insert shots during the battles ( or maybe they just added a little blood spatter here and there ) . in either event , your response will be a resounding \u201cwhatever\u201d .\nwasn\u2019t a complete disaster when it hit theaters earlier this year : despite a marketing campaign that felt about as exciting as watching water evaporate , the film earned about $ 40m at the box office ( it cost just $ 25m to put together , not counting marketing , etc ) . that said , it only reaped a 40 % rating from the nation\u2019s critics on rotten tomatoes , and the \u201cword on the street\u201d about channing tatum after\ni confess that i fell asleep the first time i attempted to watch the eagle ( almost never a good sign ) , and that starting it over a second time required an amount of willpower that i didn\u2019t even know i possessed . there\u2019s action in the film , but it\u2019s all standard , been - there - done - that kinda stuff , nothing you\u2019ll remember ten minutes after watching it . the actors all look relatively bored to be there , and the film\u2019s not all that pleasant to look at : it\u2019s all dark greys and browns and a color that ikea identifies as \u201cbleghaarf\u201d . i believe in giving credit where credit\u2019s due , though , so i just wanna make it very clear that i didn\u2019t think the eagle was a terrible movie\u2013 just a boring , unpleasant to look at , charmless , and pedestrian one . focus features , feel free to use that pull - quote on any forthcoming 3d blu - ray releases .\nlook , it might seem odd to focus so much on channing tatum in this review , but let\u2019s face it : not only is he the star of this movie , but one gathers that this entire film was crafted to put tatum on our radars . a few years ago , 300 came out of nowhere to put both zack snyder and gerard butler on the map , and while the eagle and 300 don\u2019t have all that much in common story - wise , one could reasonably assume that focus features ( who distributed the film here in the states ) was hoping for a similar outcome : a relatively cheap swords - and - sandals - and - mud - and - muscles movie where brawny dudes bark orders at one another whenever they\u2019re not fighting , starring a guy that\u2019s been hovering on the edge of stardom for awhile now , directed by a dude who\u2019s made a couple of reasonably successful films ( in macdonald\u2019s case , it\u2019s touching the void and the last king of scotland ) .\nout of all the reviews i ' ve read , a ton of people hated supercross so i guess i ' m 1 of the very few who actually enjoyed it . i think it was a pretty good movie . i wouldn ' t watch it again anytime soon but i could see myself watching it again in another couple years . the story has been done a million times before but this time the story is set in the world of motorcross . it has enough going for it that it should keep you entertained for 1 hour & 20 minutes & if you ' re not entertained , the little 1 ' s will most definitely be , if you have little 1 ' s . i don ' t understand why it got so much hate . it ' s not going to win any awards but in my\u2026\na jungian din of booming drums , bum - vibrating synth chords , and cawing string effects that loses much of its power by refusing to shut up , even when silence or ambient war noise might have been just as effective , or more so . the overuse of zimmer ' s music has been an issue throughout nolan ' s career , but here may become an object of debate . the situations and images are so vivid that the score often seems to be trying to rescue a film that doesn ' t need its help .\nif somebody were to ask me if i liked this film , i would tell them no . i loathed parts of it and found other parts repetitious or half - baked . but , maybe paradoxically , i admired it throughout , and have been thinking about it constantly since i saw it . even the aspects of\ndunkirk\nthat didn ' t sit right with me are all of a piece . this is a movie of vision and integrity made on an epic scale , a series of propositions dramatized with machines , bodies , seawater and fire . it deserves to be seen and argued about . they don ' t make them like this anymore . never did , really .\none could make a case that this amounts to over - intellectualization of a strong , simple tale . but that ' s been nolan ' s m . o . from\nfollowing\nand\nmemento\nonward , and i ' d be lying if i said it didn ' t fascinate me , even if a particular film isn ' t doing much for me scene - to - scene . it has often been said that trauma wreaks havoc with one ' s perceptions of time . this is one of the few works i can think of that considers that idea over the course of a whole feature , not just in self - contained sequences . ( the backbone of zimmer ' s score , appropriately , is a ticking clock . )\nlean and ambitious , unsentimental and bombastic , overwhelmingly guy - centric , christopher nolan ' s world war ii epic\ndunkirk\nshowcases the best and worst of the director ' s tendencies . the best win out and the worst recede in memory when you think back on the experience\u2014provided that you want to remember\ndunkirk ,\na movie that ' s supposed to be grueling and succeeds . less of a war film and more of a disaster ( or survival ) picture , it ' s an ensemble work that chronicles the evacuation of british soldiers who got trapped in the harbor and on the beaches of dunkirk , france , in late may and early june of 1940 , with the germans , who had driven allied forces practically out to sea , closing in for one last sweep .\ni was more on - the - fence about the movie ' s intricate narrative construction , but once the film ' s visceral impact had faded , it was there that my mind wandered . like most of nolan ' s films ,\ndunkirk\nis obsessed by the relative perception of time . this is emphasized here by the cross - cutting of lee smith . smith has edited all of nolan ' s movies since\nbatman begins\n\u2014including\ninterstellar ,\nwhich is explicitly about the idea of time passing more quickly or slowly depending on where you are .\ndunkirk\ntells us in its chapter - like opening titles that one major subplot takes place over a week , another in a day , and yet another in one hour . then the movie hops between them in ways that compress and expand time for poetic effect\u2014making , say , a plane ' s run that probably took thirty seconds seem to take exactly as long as a sea rescue that lasted hours .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant - man and the wasp ' | showtimes\n\u00a9 urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . all rights reserved . box office mojo and imdb are trademarks or registered trademarks of urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . terms of use and privacy policy under which this service is provided to you .\nrobert carradine ( clay sparks ) , sophia bush ( zoe lang ) , robert patrick ( earl cole ) , cameron richardson ( piper cole ) , mike vogel ( trip carlyle ) , channing tatum ( rowdy sparks ) , aaron carter ( owen cole ) , steve howey ( k . c . carlyle )\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nfaced with the suspicious death of their father , two brothers must motivate one another to get back on their bikes and take the las vegas motocross championships by storm .\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 ?

\u201d\nand its sheer entertainment value - - the way that mr . gaghan , with remarkable conviction and confidence , both honors and scrambles the conventions of the genre - - is worth emphasizing . since it deals with some contentious contemporary realities , it is likely to be greeted with a fair amount of chin - rubbing commentary . though\nsyriana\nis expressly a work of fiction , it will no doubt be subjected to a round of pseudo - fact - checking , and its dark , conspiratorial view of the present and recent past is likely to be challenged , either because it is too complicated or not complicated enough .\nthere are parts of it ' s complicated that are serious and really explore the situations in which the characters find themselves . and it was a relief to find out they don ' t regret their behavior since it ' s made them learn and grow as people . still , there are other parts that feel yanked right out of a sitcom and seem amateurish and lazy . nancy meyers and the cast show they ' re more than capable of making a good movie , and to some degree they have , but the goofy moments overshadow the more powerful and interesting ones . there are comedies that have proved you can mix the serious with the silly and succeed at both ( mrs . doubtfire ) , but it ' s complicated isn ' t so lucky . i found the silly moments to be too much of a distraction . it ' s funny , because the characters seemed to feel the same way .\ntwo - time academy award\u00ae winner meryl streep , steve martin and alec baldwin star in this hilarious look at marriage , divorce and everything in between . with a thriving bakery , a new romance and her divorce finally behind her , jane adler ( streep ) has her life all figured out\u2026 until her ex - husband jake ( baldwin ) decides he\u2019ll stop at nothing to win her back . from writer / director nancy meyers ( the holiday ) , it\u2019s complicated is the feel - good comedy hit that will leave you laughing out loud ! special features : feature commentary the making of it ' s complicated\n. this week it added $ 10 . 87 million from 581 , 000 units , giving it totals of 6 . 31 million units and $ 107 . 09 million . it is very close to overtaking\nthe screenplay by real - estate - porn specialist meyers ( \u201csomething\u2019s gotta give\u201d was better ) is distantly derived from noel coward\u2019s classic farce \u201cprivate lives , \u201d not that even his estate\u2019s lawyers would want to take credit for it .\nthis distinction seemed useful , if easy to caveat , and i also think it\u2019s wise to follow hittman in focusing on the work first rather than on who made it . as she put it , \u201cwhen i watch films about women that are imagined by men , for me , i don ' t walk into a theater ready to criticize it because it was written by a man . for me the criticism often comes from a place of feeling like it ' s underdeveloped or superficial . that would provoke my response . \u201d\n\u201cthere\u2019s a standard procedure , \u201d voris says . \u201cthe way it works is that reviews can come into the system in one of two ways . either a critic can put the review in themselves , and if they do they put it in , they choose whether it\u2019s fresh or rotten . if it\u2019s one that we get , we have a curation team here , and the process works this way : we go and find the reviews , read or watch them depending on the format they\u2019re in , and then a curator will make a determination if a film is fresh or rotten . \u201d\n' s unbelievable hold , as the film again beat expectations . the overall box office also beat expectations with $ 162 million . this was 27 % lower than last weekend , but , more importantly , it was up 9 . 5 % compared to the same weekend\nsince its release , \u201cfrozen\u201d has earned $ 1 . 2 billion worldwide , becoming the fifth - highest - grossing film of all time and by far the highest - grossing animation . that\u2019s not to mention two academy awards , a bafta , a golden globe , a soundtrack that\u2019s garnered more than a million album sales and seven million spotify streams , official youtube video views in the hundreds of millions , and a dvd that became amazon\u2019s best - selling children\u2019s film of all time based on advance orders alone .\nwhen this film first came out , i thought it was just going to be one of those\nrun - of - the - mill chick flicks\n. how wrong could i be ? ! i first saw the film on a plane and thoroughly enjoyed it , but the sound wasn ' t good so i bought my own copy . even second viewing was laugh out loud funny . meryl streep is so good in this part and the relationship / chemistry she has with alec baldwin is brilliant . plus the supporting actors are really good too , especially the guy playing the son - in - law . i thoroughly recommend this film as it ' s the sort i film i don ' t think i ' ll tire of seeing time after time . i passed my copy to my daughter to watch and she thought it was brilliant too , so it appeals to all ages . meryl streep is such a good actress ( not to mention singer in mamma mia ) covering anything from comedy to serious acting - she just gets better . i don ' t think i ' ve ever seen her in a bad film .\nhere\u2019s a way that she needs to improve . it\u2019s ok , in rough economic times , to make a movie about upper - middle - class people who are cushioned from the anxieties that afflict so many of us , but it seems more than a trifle obnoxious to tell a story that unfolds in a bubble of hollywood privilege and to present it as if it were something that everyone could relate to .\nit is hard to watch risk and not compare it with citizenfour . in fact , for a long time poitras thought they were going to be one and the same film . assange and snowden seem such different men , i say . \u201ci don\u2019t feel it\u2019s my job to judge and compare them \u2013 but , yes , they have different motivations . certainly , my feelings that come through in the film are much more conflicted . \u201d is there a moral purity to what snowden did ? \u201cpeople would ask me when i was releasing the film : is he a hero ? people are defined by their actions , and he did something deeply heroic . and i think it was selfless . he knew the consequences could be the end of his freedom or the end of his life . \u201d\n\u201cif you like movies of a certain genre , then you can understand that , \u2018ok , [ new york times film critic ] manohla dargis isn\u2019t gonna like it . \u2019 and so , if you\u2019re a critical - thinking consumer of how the system works , then you can use it to figure out what you wanna see . and i use it every week ! \u201d\nbut for now , she is focusing on the release of risk . after assange complained about the film , poitras took it away , spent a year re - editing it \u2013 and returned with a film that was tougher on him . was that her response to his intimidation ; a form of revenge ? again , she exhales loudly and pauses . \u201ci don\u2019t make vengeful films , but i do have to make films that are honest . \u201d\nwhen jane and jake both come to new york city for their son ' s college graduation , they cross paths in a bar , drink a lot of alcohol and sleep together . jane brags to her girlfriends about all the sex she ' s having but says she ' s become the woman they all hate . what ' s interesting is jane ' s psychiatrist tells her to keep the affair going because it ' s allowing her to open up and explore herself like she never has before . plus it ' s letting her see what she really wants .\nmay have slipped out of the top five internationally , but it still added $ 8 . 32 million on 3053 screens in 28 markets for a total of $ 143 . 18 million . it had no major market openings again this week , but it added $ 2 . 84 million on 689 screens over the weekend in france for a total of $ 27 . 30 million after a month of release there . this weekend the film debuted in japan , which could help it return to the top five . regardless , it has made enough money that it should show a profit , eventually .\n. it ' s very early in the year , but 2010 already has more than a $ 100 million lead over 2009 ' s pace , leading $ 447 million to $ 341 million .\na romantic comedy for the empty - nest crowd , it\u2019s complicated isn\u2019t the most well - written movie in the world , but its leading actors could make up for just about any shortcoming . it stars meryl streep and alec baldwin as jane and jake , a couple who weathered a messy divorce a decade earlier , following over 20 years of marriage . now that all their kids . . . read more\nby way of example , i present you with the stars of it ' s complicated . miss meryl streep and mr alec baldwin , she now 60 , he a relative stripling of 51 , yet joined in marriage , sundered by divorce and then reunited as adulterous exes - with - benefits in nancy meyer ' s sprightly ( albeit slight ) romcom for the underserved middle - aged moviegoing demographic .\njulia child ' s story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger julie powell ' s 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in child ' s first book .\nfamilies can talk about the movie ' s message about how divorce affects children , even grown - up ones . what ' s the impact of jane and jake ' s affair ?\nthe other element , of course , is that intangible that litman calls \u201cbuzz\u201d and simonson calls \u201cinformation cascades , \u201d the word of mouth that makes people embrace the story , want to pass it on , and persuade others that they actually want to see it . it\u2019s the force that made bizer\u2019s daughter identify the fact that she would love \u201cfrozen\u201d even though she hadn\u2019t yet seen it , because she knew in advance it would have the other kind of princess\u2014the one who wasn\u2019t at all princess - like .\nshe says she\u2019s exhausted and could do with a break , but she\u2019s hooked on film - making : surveillance and the intelligence services in particular . what would she like to do next ?

sucking detective asai ( satoshi tsumabuki ) , who simply giggles at all of the mutilated bodies and despair he encounters throughout the film , especially akikazu\u2019s . asai\u2019s mindless schadenfreude perfectly embodies the cartoonish violence , brain - dead misanthropy , and cheap emotional manipulation that underlies the film\u2019s vicious and ultimately pointless attack on the viewer\u2019s psyche .\nthe world of kanako is guaranteed to reach these heights of insanity , and even has an enticing plot to boot . it delves into the mysteriously maniacal underbelly of japan , and the style draws from an insane variety of films - from oldboy and i saw the devil to the wacky styles of quentin tarantino and yes , sion sono . it ' s a formula that might seem unoriginal at first , but really works perfectly well with the story and its pace . a few times , a much -

wife , distraught about the disappearance of their daughter , kanako ( nana komatsu ) . as fujishima searches for the truth of kanako\u2019s disappearance , the narrative twists and turns endlessly , revealing connections and intricate stories beneath the surface of the main narrative .\nnow to the rest of the movie : he gets caught by matsnunaga and his guys but they are also hunted by the yakuza since kanako talked matsunaga into blackmailing the old perverts who were customers in the child - prostitution ring .\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 world of kanako could very well serve as a cautionary tale for parents worldwide . in fact , i ' d go so far as to say that it ' s must -

in your face and down and dirty . too often people ( especially here in these delusional united $ tate $ ) sugar - coat life and pretend all ' s right with the world . well , it ain ' t , and the world of kanako is closer to reality than anything you ' re likely to see at your neighborhood multiplex .\n- just when i thought it was was safe to go back into the classroom again confessions director tetsuya nakashima returns with an even more soul destroying dose of cinematic brutality . the world of kanako continues on the same nihilistic downward spiral into darkness as confessions . . . just louder and faster . it really is time to think about home schooling . . .\nthe world of kanako has every chance to go off the rails , but it doesn\u2019t . it\u2019s solid and it\u2019s experimental and dark as hell . despite a wealth of ' 70s exploitation influences that are made extremely apparent in the film\u2019s campy opening and fight scenes , you never get the sense that you\u2019re watching an exploitation film . it\u2019s much more apt to approach kanako as an arthouse film , because hidden beneath a veneer of soulless violence is a film that challenges viewers with unique storytelling and a visual playfulness .\nfrom the beginning , \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d is designed in a way to be unsettling . the opening scenes with close - ups of sweaty faces spurting lines like \u201c i love you \u201d and \u201c i\u2019ll kill you , \u201d set the dual themes of the piece\u2014love and violence\u2014but they do so in a way that\u2019s discomforting . there\u2019s a sense of displacement and confusion , especially for the first act , that\u2019s not unlike a late night in a club . you barely hear snippets of conversation over the loud music , and fujishima and editor yoshiyuki koike don\u2019t hold a shot for more than a few seconds . even scenes of dialogue between two relatively normal characters\u2014like when fujishima is talking to kanako\u2019s classmates or her doctor\u2014are cut together from several angles .\nakikazu notices a picture of akiko , the teacher\u2019s daughter . he goes and confronts the teacher about this . she confesses that she has killed kanako and has buried her someplace . akikazu is crazed with rage by now . he wants kanako alive so he can kill her for the trouble she has gone around causing . he forces to get the teacher to dig kanako up but she has no memory of where she has buried her . the movie ends .\nthe hit director of confessions , memories of matsuko and kamikaze girls is currently in post -

boiled , ruthless , garbage stench of a film , reeks of depraved violence , senseless abuse all presented in frantic , drug - induced editing . intervals between hysterical shouting and bloodshed are non - existent , it ' s deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole we go . no escape , just craziness piled on top of craziness - - - in short , one fucking hell of a ride .\nfrom the very first utterances in the film \u2014 \u201ci love you\u201d and \u201ci\u2019ll kill you\u201d \u2014 \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d expresses the duality of love and hate that akikazu possesses for his daughter , but it doesn\u2019t shift tones as readily as it migrates timelines . though yakusho delivers a fine and unexpectedly physical performance , following his character through one abusive encounter after another becomes a grueling ordeal , especially when it\u2019s fattened to two full hours . as the search for kanako turns his gaze ever - inward , the audience winds up understanding him a lot faster than he understands himself .\nhe also kills the girl with the short , grey hair . iirc at the murder scene akikazu finds a key to a locker in which are the photos of the girls with their customers .\nafter saving so many lives on the day of the tsunami and being swept up by the waters herself . . . . she still lives in the small space of refugee housing they call ' kasetsu ' ( temporary shelter housing ) . for me they remind me of the internment camps that japanese canadians lived in during the war .\nnext he goes to a restaurant to meet kanako ' s old middle school classmates where he finds out kanako had contacts with a drug - provider . ( this scene is confusing because akikazu himself points to a picture of a drug - provider name matsunaga as if he already knows matsunaga has ties to kanako ) .\nsilly though the action becomes , nakashima produces quick , kaleidoscopic cuts that not only impress with their coolness ( insert music video comparisons here ) , but say something about the quicksilver nature of kanako in particular and the dionysian spirit in general , with its unsettling shifts from the angelic to the demonic , from the wildly celebratory to the unconscionably cruel .\njohn williams presents a made - in - japan take on one of kafka ' s classics written at the start of world war i and published in 1925 after its author ' s untimely death , franz kafka ' s\nthe trial\nis one of those novels everyone knows by reputation ( or , in my case , from a fe . . .\ncut to the flaps of a hummingbird\u2019s wings , \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d doubles back to at least four different timelines , but the gist of it is reasonably straightforward . yakusho stars as akikazu fujishima , a disgraced ex - detective who loses a second job as a lowly convenience - store security guard following a triple murder . his situation gets markedly worse when his ex - wife , kiriko ( asuka kurosawa ) , reports that their teenage daughter , kanako ( nana komatsu ) , has been missing for the better part of a week . largely an absentee father , akikazu gets to know his daughter through the investigation , which reveals enough wrongdoing to get her grounded for several lifetimes .\nthankfully , there\u2019s not much else that didn\u2019t work in the film . the acting , especially from yakusho , manages to be wild , emotional and somehow grounded . there\u2019s a real vulnerability and sadness to yakusho\u2019s performance , and despite the tone of the film , none of the acting ever feels broad in any way . rather , it\u2019s realistic , if a bit intense . kanako herself plays a sociopathic teen in a way that\u2019s a bit over - the - top , but for most of the film , the acting helps to ground us amongst the intensity of everything else .\nthe great yakusho ( \u201c 13 assassins \u201d ) plays akikazu fujishima , a retired cop who seems to live for nothing . not long ago , he caught his wife having an affair and plowed into their car before pulling the man from the vehicle and beating him . he hasn\u2019t seen his daughter kanako ( nana komatsu ) in a long time , pops pills and has taken to vomiting in rainy alleys . when he learns that kanako is missing , he is given new purpose , although his misanthropy makes him something of a loose cannon . as he descends to a world of drugs and prostitution to try and find kanako , nakashima flashes back and forth chronologically to tie the two timelines together and reveal what happened to kanako .\nwhether or not one will enjoy the world of kanako depends most importantly on their level of tolerance for and ability to enjoy extreme violence and nihilism in a story . still , even if one doesn\u2019t enjoy the film , its construction deserves praise . nakashima has an arthouse sensibility in the way he experiments with editing , and his postmodernist approach blends genres , narrators , and disjointed stories into a story that ends up feeling very cohesive . not only that , this approach has the dual function of reflecting its characters .\nrenowned japanese figure skater miki ando went to twitter to post a photo commemorating kanako murakami .\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nwhatever anger has landed on her heart in the jungles of trumplandia , patti smith consistently performs the miracle of putting it down , as seen in her recently published prose - poem , the new jerusalem .\ncan ' t remember the name of that movie you saw when you were a kid ?

[ in hong kong , it is classified category iii , for people aged 18 or above . ] personally , i don ' t think children should be prohibited from watching my movie . i trust my audiences to make their own judgments about the story . i don ' t think we should show children only the positive side of things and conceal the negative side from them . after all , the subjects of my movies do exist in reality .\na popular high school teacher concocts an extreme plan to deal with the rise of bullying and bad behavior among the student body .\nso from my understanding akikazu was able to connect the dots by sheer memory alone . he was able to match the matsunaga ' s high school picture with the picture shown by the lollipop cop in the beginning of the film . even though matsunaga looks completely different !\nstarring aya ueto ( oshin , thermae romae ) and kengo kora ( a story of yonosuke , snakes and earrings ) , the film tells a story of a family who endures eras of turmoil together through their cooking .\nray davies seamlessly transitions to the role of director and shapes his artistry for a new format .\nbut when kanako deigns to befriend the boy , he can\u2019t help being grateful \u2014 and more . \u201ci almost feel like a human being because you are here , \u201d he says in a voice -

detective aikawa . akikazu busts into aikawa\u2019s home and physically abuses his wife and calls him for a meeting . the two of them meet . it turns into a bloodbath . it becomes a massive confusion with detective asai showing up too . akikazu leaves them wounded and escapes .\nthis frantic , fractured movie is unpleasant in a variety of ways , and is probably for fans of japanese cult movies only .\nthe three -

kanako . the more he searches , the more he discovers about her . it\u2019s quite a twisted tale and is a good watch .\ntraditionally , the competition concluded the world championships and showcases figure skaters from usa , canada , japan , france , russia , and china . selected skaters from the different figure skating disciplines ( men\u2019s singles , ladies singles , pair skating , and ice dancing ) compete to put together points , which then add up to determine the winning country .\nlest you think \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d is a playful homage or a stylish ride , be warned . this is a movie with enough gore , rape , murder , drug use and horrible behavior to make takashi miike blink . it is not an easy watch . and it does feel sometimes like excess for the sake of excess . but then star koji yakusho will do something unexpected emotionally or nakashima and cinematographer sh\u00f4ichi at\u00f4 will find a striking image and the movie will win you back . like the characters who are constantly either in love or murderous rage , nakashima pushes and pulls at his own audience .\nthe yakuza did not want this because they realized it would be a threat to their business . so akiakzu gets in the crossfire of that conflict .\nwait a minute . . . wait , you ' re telling me akikazu raped kanako ? wow . i mean , i knew the father almost strangled kanako to death but he actually raped her too ? oh my god . i need to watch this movie again , christ .\nthe start of the movie shows akikazu , retired police lieutenant , searching for his daughter . the case is also being handled by a detective detective asai - the smug guy with a lollipop . he has his own vested interest in this prostitution ring and wants to keep it under the covers . while he doesn\u2019t stop akikazu from looking for kanako , he doesn\u2019t help in any which way .\nthe rape of kanako through her father is shown very quickly ( one or two shots only , iirc ) and you might take it as a confusion or halluzination of akikazu ( he is quite beat up in that sequence ) . but in the novel it is clearly stated that it happened . there it is the main reason for kankaos downfall , where in the movie there is more room for interpretation . like kanako trying to seduce her father , showing her total loss of normality . she comes across like pure evil in the movie . although the movie is very violent and feels like a punch in the guts , i really enjoyed it . one hell of a ride and a real tour de force by the leading role . it has some very dark humour , too . like the killer living a happy family live , the one akikazu always dreamt about but never had . the corny 70s music and akikazus fights with police . the more he is trying to fix everything up , the more he destroys it . after all , he has serious psychological issues ( you see his medication at the beginning ) and finds out that he might have caused all that suffering by himself ( abusing kanako ) .\nkanako is a girl who grows up in a broken family . her father , akikazu fujishima , is an alcoholic and is a terrible father . the mother , kiriko fujishima , is no good either . she\u2019s shown to be an absent mother . a specific moment is shown to turn kanako to the evil side . akikazu is an abusive father and busts into her room drunk and assaults her . this turns to a vague sexual retort from kanako . perhaps this is not the first time , perhaps he has abused her before and kanako has just learn to live with this by reacting the way she does . obviously , kanako grows up to become a crazy young girl . she grows up to be someone who draws on weaknesses of people and uses that to ruin their lives . yeah , she\u2019s an evil bitch , like that .\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\ni think i would ' ve liked reading the source material for this movie . seems like a good read . the actual movie on the other hand , it was a bit of a hit and a miss for me . i liked the colors , the great acting , and the fact that kanako ' s dark secret wasn ' t something i saw coming . however , i felt like it started out great and then kind of dragged on a little bit on the second half just to end as a totally confused mess . too many characters and too many sub - plots all of a sudden . i think with a little bit of editing and focusing more on some of the characters ( like the bullied boys who were in love with kanako , or the thug girl ) the movie would ' ve been a bit more interesting . if you want to watch something violent and gory , with a decent story and a dark twist i would recommend it . it ' s pretty unique . i wouldn ' t buy it , but it was entertaining , a decent watch .\nin that pic a middle school teacher ( takako matsu ) takes slow - burning revenge against two students she believes killed her toddler daughter . the pic earned $ 38 million in japan , making it the 7th highest - earning local film for the year , and it topped the box office in other parts of asia . \u201cthe human feelings of love and hate are not always so far apart , \u201d nakashima explains . \u201c\u2019kanako\u2019 is a film i felt that i had to make . \u201d\nall the actors did their job . they were amazing , but the story was . . . bleh . it started off strong and kept you interested , but as mayhem broke loose at every corner , i started to become impatient with the story . the constant drama actually got me bored to where it felt like an eternity before we ' ll ever learn about kanako ' s whereabouts , like i looked forward to seeing the end credits more than kanako ' s reunion with her father . as for the violence , it was just too much to the point where i actually don ' t even cringe anymore when it happens . all the characters were hopeless , like there ' s not even one character that ' s likable . if anything , all the characters were plain ridiculous . some of the dialogues for these characters made me frustrated . it ' s the kind where they beat around the bush instead of saying it out and clearly . like i literally got confuse at some parts and had a hard time differentiating on what was real or imaginary . the constant switching between past and present starts to get out of control . even after this movie , i was left with more questions than answers . i think what really made me disappointed with this movie is the lack of explanation and closure for some of the issues and characters ( * coughs * the cops * coughs * ) . then again , my disappointment may be due to the high expectations i had because of tetsuya ' s other works ( confessions , memories of matsuko , and kamikaze girls ) . with the genre of this movie being tetsuya ' s style , i thought he was going to deliver , but i was wrong . 6 / 10 for the story , but the real highlight of this movie is the editing and acting .\na scene in a drug - fueled party attended by kanako plays with youth culture through a liberal use of emojis in the frame , showing that nakashima is very deliberate in his staging and style , while at the same time unafraid to take risks in order to convey characters in unusual ways . we get a sense of kanako not only through what other characters say about her , but also through the way she is shot . nakashima sees visuals as not just an opportunity to reveal emotion , but to reveal character , as well .\n- k\u00f4ji yakusho plays scumbag , alcoholic ex - cop akikazu who is tasked with searching for his missing daughter kanako . what follows is an investigation of sorts . but only if your idea of an investigation resembles a drunken bender involving murder , rape , car crashes and numerous beatings . . . both delivered and received . while akikazu embarks on his wayward odyssey into depravity , kanako ' s school yard exploits are\u2026\nalright , that i did not know at all . but why didn ' t the professional killer take the key with him ? iirc the grey - haired girls friend told akikazu about the key so i guess the professional killer just thought the key was nothing ?\nadapting akio fukamachi\u2019s novel \u201chateshinaki kawaki , \u201d nakashima gives himself the latitude to reach beyond akikazu\u2019s perspective in learning new things about kanako \u2014 a curious choice for a film that\u2019s much more about father than daughter . the film flashes back to three years earlier , when kanako\u2019s relationship with a bullied teen showed a diabolical talent for seducing and manipulating the weak . it flashes back to the incident on christmas eve that cost akikazu his detective job and his marriage simultaneously . and as akikazu questions the kids in kanako\u2019s inner circle , like the vulnerable nami ( fumi nikaido ) or drug - pushing yakuza wannabe morishita ( ai hashimoto ) , it flashes back to relationships where his daughter wasn\u2019t always playing the victim .\nsubscribe to indie & film festivals : urltoken subscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken the world of kanako official trailer 1 ( 2015 ) -

closer to him . i trust in him .\ncasting our burdens upon the lord means to start telling the truth . we live a life of lying cheating and stealing , and then cover it up with more lies until we don\u2019t know who we are anymore . the guilt in our soul creates anxiety and depression , along with all the false guilt projected upon us by others that we don\u2019t recognize or speak up about , yet another lie , passively . until we start telling the truth about our past and present , truth being the life and the way , we will always be anxious about our future . the sad state of christianity today is that we are so caught up in the person of jesus and pushing him on others , that we don\u2019t even do what he says . if we believe in jesus christ we believe in telling the truth . it is truth that protects us from the evil one . and anyone in any religion can do it . when jesus said that no one comes to the father but by him , he meant no one gets to heaven on earth , or after we die , without starting to tell the truth . once anyone anywhere on the earth starts being honest they are immediately of the lord , whether they consciously believe in him or not . so cast your burden upon the lord today . start telling the truth . this is the way .\ni\u2019m definitely a huge fan of travis . i think he merges that super - fine line between melody and syncopation and

girds us with his amazing peace and enables us to move forward in courage .\nthese are four extraordinary performances , delicate in their construction , honest in their execution .\nthe verdict : they say\nin love we trust\ncan take place anywhere , but i doubt if another director can pull it off as simple , as linear , as easy to understand , and as reflective of modern china as xiaoshuai\u2019s . it\u2019s good to watch once , though . otherwise , it\u2019ll be a little too dragging especially for those who stereotyped chinese films with zhang ziyi\u2019s graceful acrobatic stunts .\nlove this film . love how the main concept of this film feels plausible ; a stranger than fiction type of story . yes , i know that it ' s not the purpose but love thinking about which side

no idea where they are going . in the end of the film , the same scene is repeated , and this time the context is clear : we know who are in the car , and we know where they are going . but\u2026do

directed by wang xiaoshuai , the film premiered at the 2008 berlin international film festival and went on to win the silver bear for best screenplay . this surprised me because the writing , though competent , is not the particular highlight of the film for me . the story is a simple one . we meet an ordinary family living in beijing , china : mother , father , single child . the mother is mei

.\ncasting our burdens upon the lord means battling to see that the lord himself is our treasure \u2014 and that he will take care of everything else we need to experience him as our treasure .\nwhile i commend you on your encouragement to leave our burdens with the lord , allow me please to take issue with you about the sentence you use : \u201cthird , trust that if he allows this painful event to happen , it\u2019s to bring you more joy in him . \u201d that cannot be true . not relieving us of pain cannot be to bring us more joy in him . we may well come to know jesus in a deeper way through the experiences through which we pass but that is not the aim of not relieving our pain ! perhaps your sentence conveys something you did not intend but as it stands there is a kind of fatalism suggested about life . you put god in a win / win situation by aligning him with the non relief of the pain . a god who uses pain for his own ends is not a loving god . he suffers with us . he does not use it to make us grateful for eventual joy .\njust keep holding to the measure of faith you\u2019ve been given and as you continue you will be conformed to the image of christ , who had more

( in this film , the moon has a breathable atmosphere on its far side , per the theories of peter andreas hansen , who is mentioned near the beginning of the film . )\nfor its time , the oberth - penned sections of woman in the moon represent the forefront of scientific knowledge in rocketry and astronomy . there is a reference to an earlier unmanned probe , which set off a giant magnesium flare on the moon to signal its arrival . the american dr . robert goddard proposed a similar idea in 1916 , to much ridicule from the press . the film gives the correct translunar velocity : 11000 meters / second . the rocket is even a three - stage rocket , just like the saturn v . en - route course corrections are performed with the aid of two bicycle wheels arranged at right angles , serving as a gyroscope .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nin 1926 , dietrich had her first singing role in the revue from mouth to mouth , which proved to be a career changer . the actress in the leading role of mistress of ceremonies got sick , and dietrich went on in her place . it led to a small but showy role as a chorus girl in the vienna production of the american hit broadway and an important part in the film\npearlman\u2019s own path through academia is that of an artist - scholar . she came to australia from the us as a dancer , but \u201cpretty quickly realised that my entire cultural context and history in new york was not going to work here . i retrained and did two masters degrees in editing and production and a doctor of creative arts in about seven years . \u201d the book resulting from her doctorate , cutting rhythms : shaping the film edit , is in its second edition through focus press , and pearlman is now a lecturer teaching filmmaking in macquarie\u2019s screen practices and production course , after having spent six years at aftrs as head of screen studies . continuous throughout all her work is the idea that a well -

through , and it would\u2019ve been much better to cut to intertitle to speed things up . fortunately , there is some eye candy for the viewers to look at while trudging through the plot . the print quality is excellent , and the sets are tastefully decorated . the characters are smartly attired and lit glamorously in classic studio fashion .\nundaunted , dietrich continued to put those distracting legs to good use , dancing in the cabaret shows that were ubiquitous in postwar berlin . not satisfied with being just another chorus girl , dietrich decided in 1922 to enroll in max reinhardt\u2019s prestigious deutsches theaterschule . although she claimed to have auditioned for reinhardt himself , it wasn\u2019t true . according to steven bach\u2019s well -

mannered . the wisp - of - a - plot is treated by lang as an excuse for sharp photography and gleeful moments .\nthe spectacular source print shows through to the kino dvd . the interlacing is somewhat annoying , and there is some chroma noise around the text edges . the rainbow effect comes through particularly strongly in the animated schematic of the spacecraft trajectory , as well as other places where digitally -

and - found cachet from having been cut to pieces and then painstakingly put back together again decades later .\nin other words , pearlman found svilova\u2019s blueprint . \u201cin the creative process , i\u2019m embodying svilova\u2019s process , i\u2019m thinking with her thinking . so my claim is that woman with an editing bench recuperates her thoughts and puts them onscreen and that\u2019s the new knowledge it contributes . the filmmaking has absolutely confirmed my hypothesis that editing is an instance of distributed cognition . \u201d the lessons learned in the process of crafting her film have now created new pedagogical tools that pearlman builds into her teaching in the university\u2019s screen studies course . she\u2019s since written a book chapter and several peer - reviewed papers on the subject of editing as distributed cognition , and the research is ongoing , with further films to come .\ndepressed by the bad domestic reviews , dietrich threw herself into work . she completed two more silent films before returning to the stage in another revue , where josef von sternberg saw her in september 1929 and knew he had found his lola lola . at first , dietrich appeared disinterested , telling von sternberg that she had made only three films ( she had made 17 ) and that she photographed badly . but once the camera rolled , she was transformed . her insolence and energy in the screen test confirmed von sternberg\u2019s instinct about her , and she left for hollywood immediately after\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nthere are no reviews yet . be the first one to write a review .\nthe climax of the film is the rocket launch . this is rather early for a climax , but it\u2019s also rather late considering how uninteresting the framing plot actually is .

sales\u2019 in the film industry . a producer with a good reputation and a strong project with elements such as a lead cast and a director attached can sometimes \u2018pre - sell\u2019 the distribution rights in a film to a distributor before production commences . the distributor will then normally pay a small percentage towards the rights once the pre - sale is agreed , as a deposit , with the rest being paid once the film is delivered . like the former , they will benefit from a fixed percentage of the profits from the territories they have sold in . usually , payment to these agents is treated as debt , so they will likely sit at the top of the waterfall structure ahead of shareholders .\n' one piece film gold sets sail to the united kingdom ' , the one piece podcast .\nthe strain began to tell , and i sobbed as i walked , \u2018god , please , the windmill must be over the next hill . \u2019 diggity licked my hand , whining , but i couldn\u2019t stop . i raved at the hills . then we crested the last one , and the land flattened out . a patch of green shone in the distance . panic melted and i began to laugh , patting diggity .\na private tamil tv channel recorded vijay theri film in theater -

[ 3 ] the title and release date of the film was revealed in the first 2016 issue of shueisha ' s weekly shonen jump magazine . the film was directed by hiroaki miyamoto , scripted by tsutomu kuroiwa , and executive produced by eiichiro oda , much like the previous film . box office sales , mostly in japan , included various memorabilia such as a special volume with extra details about the film , as well as poker chips with images of the main protagonists on them .\nseeing how keenly the film romanticises the past , perhaps it ' s unsurprising that it resembles a relic . what are mia ' s acting inspirations ? notorious , casablanca and bringing up baby ( all made before 1947 ) . their first date ? a 1950s film screening .\nday 118 at the cattle station called carnegie , at the end of the gunbarrel , i received another blow . the station was little used because of severe drought , and i could not resupply with food as i had planned . there was nothing to do but trek north - west 75 miles to the station at glenayle and hope for the best .\nthe 0 fish rating . for the critic to assign a film a 0 fish rating , the film should not merely be an artistic failure , but apparently aimed toward the moral stupefaction of the audience . the 0 fish rating should probably be as rare as a perfect rating .\nwe made it to docker river in painful stages . each night in camp along the way i cut shrubbery for dookie and brought it to him . i massaged his shoulder . i cuddled him , kissed him , shed tears and begged him to get better . to no avail . the thought of perhaps having to shoot my best camel gnawed away at me .\ni was not in the best shape . my left hip , sore from endless slogging over sand hills , was barely usable . my skin was dry as dog biscuits , my lips were cracked , i\u2019d run out of toilet paper , and a sun blister was trying to take over my nose . had it all been worth it ? i still thought so .\nwithin a week i was setting out for the indian ocean coast . behind me lay nearly 1 , 300 miles \u2013 five months of travel . ahead lay only 450 more miles . we made them slowly , for beyond cunyu zeleika fell seriously ill . she had nursed goliath , her calf , throughout the entire six months , and now she suddenly began bleeding internally . i dosed her with everything in my medicine kit , but i was afraid she wouldn\u2019t make it . i was wrong .\nthe other creature , whose name i do not know , is the most endearing little beetle i have ever met . he\u2019s an unprepossessing chap to look at , and when he sees something coming towards him ( i imagine that four camels , one human and a dog would be somewhat frightening ) , he buries his head in the sand , sticks his bottom in the air , and waits till you have either crushed him or missed . i always tried to miss , but diggity and the camels\u2026\nwell , to those of you who are wondering , i\u2019m now talking directly to you\u2026 yes , you [ insert your own name here for desired shock value ] . films tend to run different structures to standard early - stage investments , so what i\u2019m going to do , after a little industry synopsis , is break down the differences in these structures and then try to tie in some things to look for when investing in films . i\u2019m also playing hard and fast with film puns here , so please bear with .\nday 129 we left glenayle after a week and headed for the canning at well number 9 . this was dingo country , and i was terrified that diggity would pick up one of the poisoned baits set out to exterminate the wild dogs . i put a muzzle on her , but she whined and scratched at it and was so disconsolate that i finally took it off .\nthe area was rougher than anything we had crossed before , and at well number 6 i called a halt . the setting was lovely , an infinitely extended bowl of pastel blue haze carpeting the desert , and in the far distance five violet , magical mountains soared above the desert . i longed to journey to those mountains . i had found the heart of the world .\n500 million stored , set aside as heavenly tribute to maintain the favor of the world nobles . however , the room is encased in gold , giving tesoro control over it , and the only stairs there are heavily monitored by eizo den den mushi . so team a , luffy and franky , will climb up the outside of the hotel , sneak into the giant clock , and go into the control room . there , they will disconnect the the host den den mushi from the eizo den den mushi . team b , robin , sanji , usopp , brook , nami , chopper , and herself , will enter through the vip lounge . they should be able to escape inspection , and will enter another door inside the room . if they pass the security to that door , they will head toward a large corridor that leads to the stairs to the hyper suite room . once the eizo den den mushi are shut down , they can access the hyper suite room with a giant golden key and the mission will be complete .\nfor an expedition such as mine , it was essential that i did most of the training . through part - time jobs , loans from friends , and finally with support from the national geographic society , i acquired the necessary equipment and four good camels : a mature , gelded male whom i named dookie ; a younger gelding , bub ; a female , zeleika ; and her calf , goliath . training and preparations took more than a year , but finally in early april 1977 i was ready to leave .\nthe film stars ryan gosling as sebastian ( an aspiring jazz musician ) and emma stone as mia ( an aspiring actor ) who are struggling to achieve their dreams in los angeles . but , as a friend pointed out ,\nthe film is as flat as ryan gosling ' s feet\n.\nno need to find the well and tank that night ; they were there by the patch of green . the camels drank . diggity drank . and i drank . then i had a freezing , early - morning bath . it was good to be alive .\nwatch we will repay the losses incurred : ' puli ' producers after incurring losses from their previous outing puli , producers pt selvakumar and shibu thameens are now facing issues in releasing their upcoming flicks , pokkiri raja and iru mugan . while pokkiri raja , starring jiiva , sibiraj and hansika motwani in the lead , is bankrolled by selvakumar under pts films international , vikram ' s iru mugan is produced by shibu thameens under his home banner , thameens shibu arts . thanks to the losses incurred by distributors , who were in charge of releasing puli across tamil nadu , speculations were rife that they might stage a protest , demanding to stall the release of pokkiri raja , as selvakumar had failed to repay them after the debacle faced by the vijay starrer . with apprehension lurking around and some even saying that iru mugan too , may face a similar fate at the time of its release , selvakumar and thameens have decided to repay the distributors , according to a report . it is said that they are ready to pay 30 percent of the total losses incurred and that payment will be made in two installments . while distributors are expected to receive half of the total amount after the release of pokkiri raja , remaining half will be paid after iru mugan hits the screen , it is said . for more latest updates visit : -

explanatory . simple . what\u2019s all the fuss about ?\nin each of the various funding scenarios other than an outright sale to a motion picture studio , the film producer must still bear the burden of both controlling the costs and paying the bills as they accrue . although the filmmaker may have sold the right to distribute the film ( or the copyright ) in the completed film , these are future transactions that do not translate into production funds . instead , the filmmaker must apply to a lender to provide the cash to make the movie .\nafter a pedestrian prelude depicting the shooting deaths of a couple parked on a lovers\u2019 lane in 1968 norcal , we vault forward half a century to present - day virginia , where mick ( shane west ) and zoe branson ( leslie bibb ) are struggling to make ends meet while living in a trailer park . to her exasperation , he blows three months\u2019 rent money on the unknown contents of an abandoned storage locker , hoping to find valuables that will repay the investment and then some . alas , this ( like his previous such gambles ) looks to be a washout until mick\u2019s pawnshop - owning partner harvey ( matt craven ) discovers a rusty box of 8mm film cans .\nthis also tends to be beneficial towards cash flows . most film spvs will use their budget as the target of their raise . until this money is raised , their burn rate is effectively \u00a30 , as they won\u2019t start spending money until the receive it . this may give you , as a potential investor , some confidence in the runway of the company .\nthe most\nmodern\nmusic in the film ( besides a cameo by keith ' s band , the messengers ) is take on me by a -

off masterpiece is still a masterpiece , as don costa understood .\nsinatra and strings was and always will be the hallmark of my existence ,\nhe told stan britt in the seventies . as for\ncome rain or come shine\n, after hearing sinatra sing it at caesars palace , costa commented :\nthat ' s still the best chart i ever wrote .\nhis vocalist knew it too , right to the end . and a decade after costa ' s sudden death in 1983 , sinatra was still out there , rain or shine , good nights or bad - hell or high water , as harold arlen had said half - a - century earlier - and , having outlived composer , lyricist and arranger , still doing his best by all three of them :\ncome rain , come shine can be seen as a companion piece to lee ' s last film my dear enemy . both condense the story into a day that unspools like real time . both focus on the shifting but barely pronounced feelings of ex - lovers . while my dear enemy fluidly weaves around photogenic seoul and a bevy of interesting characters , this film is definitely more downbeat and stuffy . the two introverted protagonists linger reclusively inside their memory - filled house , where any contact with the outside world is viewed as an intrusion .\nit ' s been a while since i read one of jan karon ' s mitford novels , but when i read the summary of her latest , come rain or come shine , i was eager to pick it up . anyone who read the early books in the series will remember dooley . he stole everyone ' s heart , from father tim kavanagh ' s to lacey harper ' s and the readers ' . now , after all these years , dooley is finishing vet school and getting married . dooley and lacey want a small , simple country wedding , but in a community where everyone knows them , that ' s difficult . and , the schedule is formidable . first dooley must graduate . then , he ' s moving home , taking over the local veterinarian practice . dooley ' s first bull for his small herd is arriving . the barn must be cleaned out , grass grown , food prepared . lacey doesn ' t have a wedding dress . and , of course , there will be unexpected guests and surprises . a simple country wedding . the writing style in come rain or come shine does not make it an easy book to read . it takes a little bit of time as karon switches viewpoints from father tim to lacey to dooley without revealing who is speaking or thinking . once the reader falls into the rhythm of the book and the storytelling , it flows through the days leading up to the wedding or the\nbig knot\nas it ' s called . come rain or come shine is a heartwarming , homespun story . fans of the earlier books will be pleased to see the characters come together at the wedding . they ' ll rejoice with dooley and lacey on the joyous day . there ' s humor throughout the book , even during the wedding . but , there ' s also time for reflection and introspection for father tim , dooley and lacey . fans of the mitford series will find themselves crying and laughing over the latest episodes in this beloved saga . who knows whether this is the last in the series ? it could end on this hopeful note , or there are characters whose stories could continue . no matter what , come rain or come shine is a triumphant culmination for a long - running , well - loved series .\nperhaps because , in the spring of 1950 , everything he did record he was faintly embarrassed by : following the bob hope show , his next two columbia sessions produced\ngoodnight , irene\n( a folkie cash - in ) ,\ndear little boy of mine\n( a mawkish superannuated parlor ballad from the first world war ) , and\nlife is so peculiar\n( a surreal novelty for which he had no flair ) .\ncome rain or come shine\nrepresented at that point the career he ' d like to have .\nafter having read all the mitford books and even plenty of jan karon ' s other books , i was so excited to pick up come rain or come shine . i felt like i had watched dooley and lace grow up so to watch as they finally started their new life together as husband and wife was fantastic . i love having a series of books to read . each new installment is like a family reunion with characters you only see once in a while . best , in mitford , there always seem to be small changes , just like real small town life . now , dooley is finally a vet . people have moved and dooley and lace are getting ready to become the occupants at meadowgate . dooley has bought hal owen ' s vet practice and a wedding is coming up . i laughed at the wedding being called the big knot . i actually loved everything about the wedding from it being a pot luck to dooley ' s childhood friend tommy having his band provide the music . if you , as i have , love mitford and father tim and his family , you will thoroughly enjoy come rain or come shine .\nafter having read all the mitford books and even plenty of jan karon ' s other books , i was so excited to pick up come rain or come shine . i felt like i had watched dooley and lace grow up so to watch as they finally started their new life together as husband and wife was fantastic . i love having a series of books to read . each new installment is like a family reunion with characters you only see once in a while . best , in mitford , there always seem to be small changes , just like real small town life\ni am an avid reader of ms . karon\u2019s novels . as a matter of fact , in the past six months i have read and re - read the entire series at least 4 times while waiting not so patiently for the release of come rain or come shine . there is a reason for this . i have had a very stressful year and i find visits to mitford very relaxing . every character in this series is complete ; there isn\u2019t a one - dimensional body in the bunch . even the nodding acquaintances have a unique and full place in ms . karon\u2019s storie\nwhat is particularly moving about hyun bin is that he acts what he\nwants\nto act in . he doesn ' t follow status quo just to make a buck . i think this show was filled with symbolism and i love the open ended ending , which by the way i usually despise . . we can come up with our own conclusions . sometimes i do wonder if the writer knows or just left it unknown even within the writer ' s own self . hyun bin is poignant , amazing , and yes can be catastrophic ( in a compelling way ) with every work he does . come rain , come shine is a film to be reckoned with . it is now in my collection of favorites .\nthe film is lugubriously slow , hanging on each wan moment as if lee expects auds to fully understand the character history that makes this separation so difficult . but it\u2019s nearly impossible to extrapolate from the scant information provided whether the tragedy is how much they\u2019re giving up or how little they have to show for their time together . it\u2019s all part of \u201ccome rain , come shine\u2019s\u201d general grayness , which extends from the weather - dampened look to the overall ambiguity of emotion ; when the film does intercut scenes of jiseok alone in the sun , they serve merely to confuse rather than enlighten .\ni have a confession : i was never a big reader , until i read jan karon ' s first novel in her mitford series . after that , you could say ,\ni was hooked .\ni found a love for reading while i emersed myself in her characters and their daily lives . in karon ' s latest book , come rain or come shine , i eagerly wanted to devour it and yell from the rooftops that i loved it , but , for much of the novel , i spent my time feeling more disappointed than pleased . several reviews have pointed out the lack of fluidit\no come let us adore him , o come let us adore him , o come let us adore him . . . but that ' s enough about david beckham ' s overwrought reception at birmingham ' s lg arena in the bbc ' s sports personality of the year show on sunday ; what about the nativity , the so - called greatest story ever told compressed into four parts and written by the rather aptly named tony jordan ?\nit ' s been a while since i read one of jan karon ' s mitford novels , but when i read the summary of her latest , come rain or come shine , i was eager to pick it up . anyone who read the early books in the series will remember dooley . he stole everyone ' s heart , from father tim kavanagh ' s to lacey harper ' s and the readers ' . now , after all these years , dooley is finishing vet school and getting married . dooley and lacey want a small , simple country wedding , but in a community where everyone knows them , t\ni ' ve read all of the books in the miford and father tim series , and i ' ve been looking forward to lace and dooley ' s wedding . not surprisingly , i read come rain or come shine pretty much in two big gulps . although i enjoyed it , i also found it somewhat vexing , hence my three - star rating . part of my frustration was with the exceedingly sparse writing style . . . much of the book was written as a few moments of time inside one character or another ' s head . when you ' re in your own head , of course , you do\nthrough the penguin first to read program , i had an opportunity to read an advance copy of this book . thanks to jan karon for inviting all of her readers to dooley ' s and lace ' s wedding in come rain or come shine . once again , ms . karon provides a welcome relief from our hectic and stressful lives by inviting us to visit mitford . . . . . . . a town where most , if not all , of her readers would love to live . it is always a pleasure catching up with the latest happenings of the mitford residents . this was a pleasant and heartwarming book !\ni don ' t know what that c ' s doing in there . a mistake by the copyist ? arlen returns for another parade of a naturals after the release on\nyou ' re gonna love me / like nobody ' s loved me / come rain . . .\nand then for the next section :\nwe cannot please everyone with the movie\ncome rain , come shine\n. people do have different opinions . either they would like it or not . whats important was the effort of all the cast of the movie to end with this kind of film , having it shown on a berlin film festival was already an honor . i had watched it twice already , and for me i liked it , why ? , because the story really happens on real couples urltoken was urltoken was kinda slow , yes , but i was able to feel the story . - looking forward for hyunbins drama series and movies after he ' s released from his military service .\nlet me just say : i love mitford . i ' ve loved every book in this series , and was so excited when jan karon announced\ncome rain or come shine\nwas coming . i even pre - ordered . . . and that ' s saying something for a cheapskate like me ! like all the other books in the series , i practically read it all in one sitting , but . . . i just can ' t give this one 5 stars , or even 4 stars . . . and i ' m so sad about that . i like it , but . . . i felt like i had missed a book between\nsomewhere safe with somebody good\nand thi\ni ' ve read the mitford books and the\nfather tim\nbooks , so it ' s kind of hard for me to assess how this book would read without that background . . . but i think it would leave anyone who is new to the series frustrated . come rain or come shine is written with a sparseness that almost requires the reader to fill in the blanks with their own knowledge of the characters and their backgrounds . if you haven ' t already done so , i definitely recommend reading\nhome to holly springs\nbefore reading crocs . technically\nhome\nisn ' t part of the mitford series , but it provides the background for what was , for me , one of the nicest story lines in crocs . ( less )\nis it really , as sinatra appeared to feel , the greatest song ever ? i think it all goes back to mercer ' s observation - that what matters in a song is\nthe mood\n. in this case , the mood - a declarative love song pledging you ' re in it for keeps whatever life throws at you - is just perfect for this singer , for the\nnight and day\n/\nall or nothing at all\nsinatra . the singer and his arranger must have been thrilled at the end of that 1961 session , and yet there would be no sequel to sinatra and strings . throughout a career cut far too short , don costa scored a lot of kiddie - pop , from paul anka and trini lopez to donny and marie osmond . there ' s no disgrace in that : some very gifted arrangers have a feel for it ( quincy jones ) and others don ' t ( nelson riddle ) . so by the end of the sixties don costa was frank ' s go -

down plot .\nhaving read a lot of negative reviews on early screenings of\ncome rain come shine\ni did fear the worst prior to watching the movie here in korea . after watching the movie i can understand why the movie turned off a lot of people - the film is slow , emotions tucked away and the narrative is minimal . with that said , i actually found myself enjoying the movie more as it progressed and by the half way point in the film became absolutely drawn into the world of these two people who are spending their last day together prior to their breakup . questions that i wanted answered kept popping into my mind\nwhy is hyun - bin ' s character so withdrawn ?\nwill lim soo - jung ' s character have a change of heart by the end of the day ?\nis lim soo - jung the villain or victim ?\nwill hyun - bin ever blurt out something heartfelt to save their relationship ?\ncome rain or shine\nbook 11 of the mitford novels by jan karon tells the story of the wedding of dooley and lace , the constant duo of the previous novels . the two are putting together a wedding , graduating from vet school ( dooley ) , taking over a practice and farm , as well as adopting a 4 year old boy . this seems like a lot and the two are handling it well . this is the first of the mitford books that i have read . though karon did a good job of keeping the reader abreast of what had happened , should they not have read the rest of the series , it is still hard to catch up when the series is on book 11 . there were several times , that i had to either re - read or be confused for awhile till i figured out what was going on . as a single book , the writing is good and easy to read . the accents may be a little hard to pick out if you are a city slicker , but i liked them included . gave the characters a more personal touch . i have heard from fellow bookaholics that the mitford series is brilliant , so my recommendation would be to start at the beginning . if you have already read the previous 10 , than you better get started on\ncome rain or shine !\ni received this book in exchange for a review from www . firsttoread . com . i have included this review to my blog , in a minute , and christianbook . com .\njohnny mercer may not have been a great musical dramatist for the broadway stage , but he knew about what he called\nmood\nand that , once you got the mood of a song right , everything fell into place .\nthe thing about it is recognizing it when you think of it ,\nhe said .\nyou say , ' that ' s right for this tune . '\nwith\ncome rain or come shine\n,\nthe right mood\nwas no more or less than\na really simple way of saying ' i love you ' . . . the way a guy in a saloon would feel it .\nand that\ni ' m gonna love you / like nobody ' s loved you\nfits the insistent drive of the tune . notice too how the song has few rhymes , which would risk over - underlining all those repeated notes . in fact , mercer doesn ' t rhyme at all until the release , when he slips in a triple :\ncut to the couple\u2019s designer suburban house . young - shin is already packing her stuff to move out . the two drink coffee , get sentimental about paraphernalia and make plans to dine at a fancy joint . yet their desire to tie things up neatly are frustrated : a baby kitten gatecrashes their home and disappears ; their neighbors come looking for the kitten ; the torrential rain floods the bridge ; and they end up staying in to cook pasta , but credits roll before they have a chance to eat together .\n# 1 new york times \u2013bestselling author jan karon returns\u2014with the story readers have been waiting for . over the course of ten mitford novels , fans have kept a special place in their hearts for dooley kavanagh , first seen in at home in mitford as a barefoot , freckle - faced boy in filthy overalls . now , father tim kavanagh\u2019s adopted son has graduated from vet school and opened his own animal clinic . since money will be tight for a while , maybe he and lace harper , his once and future soul mate , should keep their wedding simple . so the plan is to eliminate the cost of catering and do potluck . ought to be fun . an old friend offers to bring his well - known country band . gratis . and once mucked out , the barn works as a perfect venue for seating family and friends . piece of cake , right ? in come rain or come shine , jan karon delivers the wedding that millions of mitford fans have waited for . it\u2019s a june day in the mountains , with more than a few creatures great and small , and you\u2019re invited\u2014because you\u2019re family . by the way , it\u2019s a pretty casual affair , so come as you are and remember to bring a tissue or two . after all , what\u2019s a good wedding without a good cry ?\nin wet conditions , quilt xcel has definitely helped plants stay healthier and better tolerate the negative effects of too much rain ,\nsays mark nofziger , a grower in wauseon , ohio .\nit keeps stalks healthier and plants standing straight to minimize lodging at harvest .\nwith his taste for describing the banality of everyday life in voluptuous detail , films of lee yoon - ki capture the essence of troubled characters on screen . in his debut film this charming girl ( 2004 ) the director poignantly depicted a dreary life of a female post officer with a traumatic past whose comfort in life was to play with an abandoned cat and fill her room with goods ordered from a home shopping channel . in his latest feature film come rain come shine , the only asian runner in berlin\u2019s competition , lee focuses on a troubled couple played by a duo of charismatic actors - - hyun bin ( full autumn ) and lim soo - jung ( i\u2019m a cyborg . but that\u2019s o . k . ) \u2014 in their final hours together . but lee notably shies away when it comes to media attention of his work . when the conversation naturally reaches the festival , he says : \u201ci wish i don\u2019t win an award . i don\u2019t want the attention . \u201d lee recently spoke with the hollywood reporter\u2019 s korea correspondent park soo - mee about his actors , muses and arthouse filmmaking in korean cinema .\nit was arlen ' s joke -\ncome hell or high water\n- that led mercer to his title . but he ' d used a variant of it a couple of years earlier , in a movie song he wrote with jerome kern ,\ndearly beloved\n:\n1 . chances are , you were surprised to learn lace and dooley\u2019s news that made father tim sad . what news did you have to tell your parents that made them sad ? how did you handle it ? 2 . what happened on the day before the wedding was an act of redemption for lace , dooley , and jack tyler . can you name at least one other redemptive act in come rain or come shine ? would you be willing to search the book for the many acts of redemption contained in its pages ? 3 . what is your worst and / or funniest experience with a potluck ? 4 . prayer is important in the mitford books . is there a prayer or saying that brings comfort to you or your family ? 5 . which of the characters in this book would you enjoy being ? why ? author jan karon says she has a special fondness for harley , who combines innocence , stubbornness , humor , generosity , and loyalty . did you guess who gave the wedding gift that was given anonymously ? jan said she didn ' t know who gave it until very late in the book . \u201cmy work is always filled with surprises for the author , \u201d she says . 6 . what do you like most about father tim and cynthia ' s relationship ? lace and dooley ' s relationship ? 7 . in the book , there are many special occasions in addition to the big knot . the breakfast on wedding day morning , with everyone gathered close . the hanging of the vet clinic sign . dooley giving lace the new pup . lace giving dooley her painting . choo - choo coming to the farm . jack tyler jumping down from the truck . henry arriving from his long journey . at which of these special occasions would you like to be a fly on the wall ? 8 . have you ever known anyone like lily ? 9 . talk about the best marriage you have ever witnessed . what made or makes it the best ? 10 . do you keep a journal ? jan used a dominant journaling theme in her novel in the company of others , and in come rain or come shine we get a look at lace ' s journal , which she calls the dooley book . how does lace ' s journal enrich the overall story ? 11 . name just one characteristic that sets the mitford books apart .\nafter another emotional parting , saltbreaker set out across the pacific . \u201ci knew alex well but not well enough to know if taking off for the tropics would mean he might never come back , \u201d she said . \u201ci now could see how sailing does crazy things to people . \u201d\nthe screenplay was adapted from a japanese short story , the cat that can never come back by areno inoue . it accounts for its painful repression , detached tone and slow - brewing momentum more common in japanese art - house cinema , a close counterpart being nobuhiro suwa\u2019s a perfect couple .\nthe rain held off as the groom , who now works for swift navigation , had predicted using a computerized weather model he made for the wedding date , and the party moved into the nearby general\u2019s residence . on the bay , the few sailboats that had braved the weather headed for safe harbor as the wind whipped up .\ni have a confession : i was never a big reader , until i read jan karon ' s first novel in her mitford series . after that , you could say ,\ni was hooked .\ni found a love for reading while i emersed myself in her characters and their daily lives . in karon ' s latest book , come rain or come shine , i eagerly wanted to devour it and yell from the rooftops that i loved it , but , for much of the novel , i spent my time feeling more disappointed than pleased . several reviews have pointed out the lack of fluidity between characters point of views , or how many readers would not understand the depth of meaning , as certain scenes took place , unless you had read the previous novels . although i don ' t feel giddy happy after reading this novel and even though i too , found the writing style to be lacking in some ways , every so often a glimpse or feeling from the previous books would pop out and make me smile and keep me turning the pages . many\nstrings\nwere tied up with this novel and it truly was a warm and cozy read . i think i just missed the old characters and the story being focused on father tim . now that i have turned the last page though , i am very happy i read it .\nrain is an action game based on a unique concept : an invisible player character . though the development team was entirely japanese , we created a world that resonated with people across the globe , and our game was honored with countless awards and nominations from the best of e3 , the d . i . c . e . awards and others . in particular , the elegant art style and sound design left a strong impression on players , and we believe we truly succeeded in captivating them . on the other hand , we feel there are many points worth addressing with regards to storytelling and narrative style that could benefit future titles . in this session , we intend to run through every aspect of rain ' s production . we will cover everything from the initial planning phases , the selection of the unity engine and the art production style , to the issues we faced with narrative and game design , as well as the results of our promotional activities . in short , we want to use this postmortem to give you an honest look into what did and didn ' t go well with rain .\nshe remembered his weekend smell of a burger on the highway and his shampoo and his favorite jacket with the top button missing , all that , and his hands cold from the october wind . she had held him , unguarded and certain , and he looked at her and she knew that he understood . dooley really got stuff that didn\u2019t come with words .\nthe following season , lafont acted on the lessons he had learned by applying the fungicide on 600 acres of corn .\nin 2013 , we received lots of rain ,\nhe says .\nwe already have big fogs and dews in this area , so we had a lot of disease . quilt xcel kept that under wraps and kept our plants healthy as they matured .\nshe remembered his weekend smell of a burger on the highway and his shampoo and his favorite jacket with the top button missing , all that , and his hands cold from the october wind . she had held him , unguarded and certain , and he looked at her and she knew that he understood . dooley really got stuff that didn ' t come with words .\neven the camera seems to tiptoe around the protagonists , who move about but go nowhere . these are interspersed with static , empty shots of interiors and furniture that look like real estate showrooms . the soft light , which falls partially on the cast , enhances the ambiguity of their positions . in lieu of sound , the incessant rain and mumbling radio announcements form a gloomy sound - scape .\nusing a fungicide during wet seasons makes sense to most people . after all , excessive moisture creates ideal breeding grounds for fungal plant pathogens to develop and multiply . however , applying fungicides during dry weather may seem counterintuitive . the 2012 drought showed growers that when the rain isn ' t falling enough , it ' s important for plants to use the water they do receive to maximize yields .\ni surely do wish i could give this book more than 5 stars ! i was absolutely blessed to win an arc of this wonderful book by submitting a recipe . it was such a delight to be able to read this 3 months early , let me tell you ! jan karon takes us back to mitford and farmer in this tale . this book is dooley and lace ' s wedding . and what a wedding it is . oh , my goodness ! i don ' t have the ability to even begin to describe how much i adored this book . seeing father tim is always a joy , hearing his thoughts and feelings a certain delight . my copy is now flagged and underlined so much ! there are so many things i want to remember here , too . there is also some heartache , but these young folks have found a way to bring joy out of even that . when we first met dooley as a youngster , he was not much to see . but with father tim and the lord ' s help , dooley is a fine and wonderfully upstanding young man . he graduates from vet school in this book and opens his practice which he bought from hal at meadowgate . he and lace are only 2 weeks from their wedding . a potluck wedding ! i loved hearing from old friends and new ones . jan karon tells a tale like no other . it ' s pure nourishment for the spirit , is come rain or come shine . as are all her other books . i am so sad for this book to end , but joyfully look forward ( i hope ! ) to more from mitford . * i won this arc in a contest and was not required to leave a favorable review . my opinions are honest and my own .\nwhen he returned to the studio for the duets album in 1993 ,\nrain or shine\nwas obviously going to be on the list - if only because the project wasn ' t much more sophisticated than getting the songs frank was out singing night after night on stage down on tape and then editing some ghastly pop star du jour into half the lyric . harold arlen and johnny mercer got lucky : their duet fell into the hands of gloria estefan , who has since made the inevitable standards album ( so inevitable in her case that it ' s actually called the standards album ) but who had never previously betrayed any instinct or feeling for this kind of music . for a then techno - dependent latina dance diva , her voice blends very well with sinatra ' s , and she ' s genuinely simpatico . frank must have liked the result because the next time he was playing miami they went out to dinner together .\nusing areno inoue\u2019s japanese short story \u201cthe cat that can never come back\u201d as his point of inspiration , lee probably should have considered adapting the slender idea in short form himself . feature length is simply too much time to spend watching a pair of inexpressive characters wallow in their melancholy . how many cups of coffee and cigarettes must two non - confrontational people consume onscreen before a poetically inclined helmer feels content that he\u2019s sufficiently captured their inner turmoil ?\nabsolutely . the resulting album , sinatra and strings , is a magnificent piece of work with many stand - out tracks , including the verse of\nstardust\nand the great swirling currents of\nyesterdays\n. these ballads aren ' t as torchy as wee small hours , or as bleak as where are you ? or as hopeless as only the lonely . as the title suggests , they ' re not thematically about anything more than the lushness of the string section . but\nrain or shine\nhas a slightly different texture from the others - romantic strings but with a hint of bluesiness frank seems to have picked up from the ray charles version ( along with the horns in the intro ) , and then , in the instrumental break , the gorgeous swank of that slow swing . by comparison with the rest of the arrangements , it ' s a strange combination of concert hall and saloon that sinatra pulls together through the passion and sincerity of a powerful vocal .\na heartwarming addition to the mitford series . dooley is grown up ; he and lace have been foes and then friends for year . . . now they ' re getting married . it ' s crammed with familiar characters , old stories , old jokes as they come together to celebrate , along with some incredible surprises too . ( my only criticism is that sometimes the view changes and i can ' t figure out whose it is until a few paragraphs later . )\ni have always enjoyed the mitford series and have a little crush on father tim . sorry cynthia . i was really looking forward to the story of dooley and lace ' s wedding . i thought it would just shine . unfortunately for me , it did not . there are several reasons for this : 1 . i found jumping around different people ' s stories without any kind of preparation quite unsettling . you would be reading about dooley ' s thoughts and suddenly it would be harley . it was unsettling for a long time reader but i desp"]}

, edwards came up with the story ( aided by maurice richlin , his co - writer on the pink panther ) and left it to blatty to fashion it into a workable screenplay . he turned out a well - honed farce that gave edwards and his cast a solid framework in which to improvise , which they did to superlative effect .\nthis is , of course , the new way of fighting in america . declare war on some entity and then swear that that entity has delared war on you . the idea that american christians\u2013who own the white house , congress , the fcc , and the so - called war on terror\u2013are a persecuted group is enough to make me wade into a tub of eggnog .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nwhole : the image occupies the whole , held within a narrow black border . the title is integrated and positioned across the bottom edge , in white cursive script . image : a man sits in an armchair at home , with his daughter sitting on his lap . she points to a page in a book and looks questioningly at her father . a young boy plays with toy soldiers on the floor at his father ' s feet . the man looks at the viewer with a pensive expression . text : daddy , what did you do in the great war ?

rate effects of u . s . monetary policy on u . s . trade , there is in fact little support in the data for the claim that the fed engaged in currency wars during the recent recovery . in a currency war , the country easing its monetary policy \u201csteals\u201d growth from other countries by weakening its currency and increasing its net exports , that is , exports minus imports . in figure 1 below , the bars show annual real gdp growth rates for the u . s . since 2006 ; the darker portions of the bars show the portion of overall growth accounted for by growth in u . s . net exports .\nedwards does lubitsch , to great effect : a slapstick war farce in the tradition of to be or not to be , replete with antics , pageants and capers , all of it sparkling with defiant joie de vivre . marvelous ! delightful ! and yet as borges did barthes , it anticipates baudrillard . is there any doubt that edwards is the g . o . a . t . ?\nmy first posting was to itw at cambridge where we were housed in college accommodation as there was very little civilian activity in the university at that time . we received our tuition in the college lecture rooms and our meals in the dining rooms and were even allowed to use the college silverware . itw headquarters was at jesus ! ! we also did guard duties with rifles ( no ammunition ) at the bridge of sighs in the grounds of st . johns college and more than one professor had a near escape when he failed to respond to the command \u201chalt who goes there\u201d .\nfor our part we all felt guilty being in rhodesia and living in peace time conditions with no rationing or blackout and various schemes were talked about to attempt to get a uk posting . two of our instructors hatched , what they thought was a good plot to get posted but it unfortunately backfired . they took off one day in two oxfords and proceeded to beat up the town of bulawayo . they flew at rooftop level up the main streets and did mock attacks on the town hall . this upset the locals but even more the station commander . their scheme was of course doomed to failure for if it had succeeded it would have opened the floodgates . they did however get posted -

( my discussion here applies only to exchange - rate changes linked to monetary policy . gaining trade advantage through trade barriers like tariffs or through intervention in foreign exchange markets raises quite different issues . ) when a currency war is prosecuted , exporters in other countries may complain that they are being undercut , and foreign policymakers may object to what looks like a diversion of demand away from their own economies , possibly leading to increased unemployment .\nat west point , 1857 , in the conceit of wally kline and . . .\nfather barry ( karl malden ) with a fiery sermon in the hold . . .\n[ 2 ] friedman\u2019s essay is included in part iii of essays in positive economics , available from the university of chicago press ( 1953 ) .\nmoreover , a currency war requires currency depreciation . figure 2 shows three measures of the value of the u . s . dollar : the overall value , the value measured against major currencies like the euro , pound , and yen , and the value against the currencies of \u201cother important trading partners , \u201d corresponding mostly to emerging -

2014 , when it began its recent sharp rise . that pattern is not consistent with a currency war , at least not a successful one . it\u2019s true that some of the failure of the dollar to decline reflected countervailing easing of monetary policy by u . s . trading partners . however , that observation only illustrates the point above that countries with flexible exchange rates have the necessary tools to offset the effects of u . s . monetary policy on the dollar . indeed , many countries eased monetary policy during this period , in response to a slow global recovery .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\n( 1959 ) , albeit this time set during the us invasion of sicily in 1943 .\nas figure 1 shows , trade did help buffer the sharp decline in u . s . output in 2008 and 2009 , largely because u . s . imports fell even more than u . s . exports as the economy fell into a deep recession . however , since 2010 , net exports account for very little of overall u . s . growth ( and declining net exports were actually a negative for u . s . growth in 2010 and 2014 . )\nedwards has packed his action with a flock of individual gags and routines but frequently the viewer isn\u2019t too certain what\u2019s happening . director draws good comedy portrayals from a talented cast headed by james coburn and dick shawn , both delivering bangup performances .\nthe fed was certainly not the only major central bank to engage in aggressive monetary policies in recent years , but critics argued that the dominant role of the u . s . dollar in international trade and finance made the fed\u2019s actions particularly consequential . that raised the third , long -

zoological ) as on the flint - knapping industry ( technicological and edge wear tests ) , will tend to confirm or weaken the present vision of the site .\nhis depiction of neanderthal man and homo sapiens reflects , to an extent , the archaeological evidence . his neanderthals have no artefacts or containers , whereas the new people have necklaces , paintings , wine - skins and clay pots . inventing containers ( bags , baskets ) was an important evolutionary step as it allowed hunter - gatherers to bring back and store foodstuffs . fa , the brightest neanderthal , almost hits on the idea of containers when , watching the old woman cook broth in a deer ' s stomach and dip a stick in it to get it to mal ' s mouth , she has an image of seashells full of water .\nthe song wild child is performed by brent bourgeois . the movie version of the song cannot be found anywhere online . the only know version of this song is found on youtube . this version of the song can be found on youtube by searching : wild child -

screwball comedy , which plays with multiple genres and narrative styles , florian steinbiss tells the story of a neanderthal man who mysteriously rematerializes in modern day germany and seeks sanctuary in the garden of barbara van schmerling , a 23 -

crazed media savvy anthropologist , barbara takes him under her wing . failing to protect him from the corrupting influences of western civilization , her altruistic feelings turn romantic , threatening either to compromise her ethics , or lose the only person - or primitive - she ever truly loved . meanwhile , the neanderthal man must choose between barbara , the only person who loves him for what he really is , and the siren call of fame , suitcases of money , and easy access to gummy bears .\na face divided into three parts with different skin colors . with this poster , the neanderthal museum draws the visitor into its current special exhibition on migration . the show highlights some interesting information . did you know that lighter skin types only developed around 4 , 500 years ago ?\nthe exhibition tries to build a bridge between the ice age and the contemporary era . how does the show try to realize this ? a great part of the exhibition deals with the milestones of prehistorical migratory events . early man emigrated from africa some 100 , 000 years ago . roughly 7 , 500 years ago , farmers and cattle breeders from the middle east migrated to europe . in the early metal age , horse breeders and merchants from the steppes of western asian migrated to central europe .\npast studies had concentrated only on mitochondrial dna , a type where no intermixing was found .\nit was another surprise that even the chinese carry neanderthal genes , although neanderthals never lived in china ,\nsaid schmitz .\n- style dissolve briefly turns shayne into a believably feral creature until he\u2019s fully revealed to resemble the unholy union of a bullfrog and an ape ( with a perm to boot ) . with this hilariously static apparatus applied to his face , shayne does his best to terrorize the surrounding area , and his victims do a good job not to laugh him off of the set . further diluting the horror are the expected 50s restraints : there\u2019s very little on -

( 18 . 07 . 2008 )\nwhat is there to say about the neanderthal man ? i mean what is there to be said , apart from noting that it\u2019s unintentionally very funny ? not much really . robert shayne ( billed as shane ) \u2014 already established as inspector henderson on tv\u2019s superman \u2014 stars as a loony scientist of the george zucco school . in other words , he\u2019s as much out to prove that his detractors are wrong as he is to make any scientific breakthrough . an expert on prehistoric life ( you can tell because he owns a book on the topic ) , he gets it into his head that neanderthal man was actually more advanced than we are . to this end , he\u2019s prone to transforming his mute maid ( jeanette quinn ) into a kind of ape woman ( we only see photos of this ) and housecats into saber - tooth tigers . actually , he just turns them into tigers \u2014 except for a few lovably awful inserts ( see above ) of the dopiest looking stuffed toy saber - tooth tiger head imaginable .\nin \u201cneanderthal man\u201d paabo offers a fascinating account of the three decades of research that led from a secret hobby to a scientific milestone . the book follows the style of two previous memoirs by pioneering geneticists \u2014 james d . watson\u2019s \u201cthe double helix\u201d ( 1968 ) and j . craig venter\u2019s \u201ca life decoded\u201d ( 2007 ) . in \u201cthe double helix , \u201d watson described discovering the structure of dna . in \u201ca life decoded , \u201d venter told how he led a team that developed new ways to read dna and eventually assembled a rough draft of the entire human genome . paabo now recounts his success in recovering a human genome that has been sitting in fossils for tens of thousands of years .\nthe special exhibition is accompanied by a special research project entitled\nour way to europe\nthat has been carried out in cooperation with the neanderthal museum since 2009 . in it , scientists from the universities of aachen , cologne and bonn explore the movement of people from africa to europe . where did they come from ?

svante p\u00e4\u00e4bo will forever be celebrated as one of the pioneers .\ngerman scientists announced their findings on friday in a paper published in the us journal science , which shows that between 1 and 4 percent of the dna in people living in europe , china and new guinea has neanderthal origins . the rest is attributable to the main homo sapiens line with its roots in africa . previous laboratory tests had missed the hard - to - find clues and assumed the two species forked 500 , 000 years ago , never to rejoin .\nelimberris is situated on the right bank of the gers , today just below the modern urban center . across 800 m\u00b2 , the excavation revealed . . .\nafter the first award\nthe best of show\nfrom the indie fest in la jolla and a second award\nemerging narrative feature filmmaker\nat the geneva film festival , the third award in the category\nfeature comedy\ncame from the indie gathering in ohio .\namazon ' s new television adaptation the man in the high castle \u2014part of the streaming service ' s 2015 pilot season \u2014opens in a conquered new york . the nazis won world war ii , and the american flag now bears a swastika . a few freedom fighters struggle on\u2014we see one in particular brutally tortured and beaten to death\u2014and the police are everywhere . life in this alternate dystopia is a thing of fear and hardship , as in 1984 , or the handmaid ' s tale , or the hunger games . the familiar forces of freedom struggle against the familiar totalitarian forces of dystopia , epitomized , in the usual way , by a cruel , sadistic supervillain ( here portrayed by rufus sewell as ss officer john smith ) . if the nazis had won the war , the tv series warns us , the world would have been much , much worse .\nif there\u2019s one instance where the film attempts to be genuinely disturbing , it\u2019s the aftermath of that encounter . dr . groves ( in neanderthal form ) carries her off , and she mysteriously turns up later ; when relaying her story , she can\u2019t bring herself to reveal exactly what happened after he made off with her . the implication seems pretty clear to me , which is kind of outrageous given the time period , and , within this context , it comes off as so much schlock in the guise of highlighting the animalistic qualities of the neanderthal . even more troubling is the film\u2019s attempt to suddenly empathize with groves ; by the end of the film , we\u2019ve learned that he\u2019s committed several heinous acts , including experimenting on both animals ( the saber - tooth running around is his mutated housecat ) and humans without their consent . in its attempt to hew to every expected beat , though , we get the treacly deathbed moralizing and contrition .\nthe exhibition seeks to offer a new perspective by enabling visitors to move back in time in order to look at the issues with a point of view that has not been influenced by current events at european borders . the show in the neanderthal museum asks visitors to think about their own origins before talking about immigration limits . as one visitor put it :\nwe ' re all just people .\nthe youngest neanderthal bones ever found were unearthed in the united kingdom and croatia . all of these specimens were dated between 32 , 000 and 33 , 000 years old . no verifiable specimen has been found that was younger than 30 , 000 years old , leading scientists to declare that to be when they died out .\nregardless of how you categorize yourself in relation to migration , the exhibition provides some light - bulb moments as it tries to make clear that , ultimately , we ' re all migrants .\nour objective is to show that migration is an intrinsically human phenomenon going back millions of years ,\nsaid gerd - christian weniger , the director of the neanderthal museum .\nnoah berlatsky edits the online comics - and - culture website the hooded utilitarian and is the author of the book wonder woman : bondage and feminism in the marston / peter comics , 1941 - 48 .\nneanderthals are very fascinating people , because they disappeared only 30 , 000 years ago ,\nhe said .\nit was the last archaic type of man who lived on earth parallel to us for a long time , and the question is when neanderthals could go extinct , could we also go extinct ?

home - viewing technologies ; and the motives and cultural roles of the cult fan .\nmatt hills is a reader in media and cultural studies at cardiff university . he is the author of fan cultures ( 2002 ) and the pleasures of horror ( 2005 ) and has written widely on cult media , most recently for the sage handbook of film studies ( 2008 ) .\nfor his penultimate film , billy wilder created this elegiac , potent and richly entertaining mystery . reuniting with one of his greatest actors william holden , and co - written with his longtime collaborator i . a . l . diamond , this is an exquisitely crafted tale of romance and intrigue .\nwhat initially drew our attention was that not only did cult film turn up in our conversations with great frequency , it also arrived in numerous guises . cult as shock and schlock ; cult as nostalgia ; cult as marginality ; cult as intensity and passion ; cult as marketing hype ; cult as fad and fashion ; cult as subversion ; cult as historical era marker . too many things to too many people , cult film seemed to us to be stretching so thinly before our eyes as to potentially lose its meaning in a dizzying vortex . it seemed an untenable situation ripe for critical investigation .\nthe harry potter films have been a magical success at the box office , which makes it easy to see why warner brothers and the film ' s creative team made the decision to split j . k . rowling ' s final 784 - page book into two movies\u2014at least from a financial standpoint .\ncult status is tied to the social situation of film reception , and this implies fans . for example , fifty years ago , marx brothers films could be considered cult films since screenings brought out dedicated enthusiasts who often knew many of the lines , their favorite scenes and gags , etc . in the 1960s the orson welles cinema in cambridge , ma . , ran a humphrey bogart film festival during the exam period every semester at harvard . freshmen were initiated into the ritual viewing , and , by the time they were juniors , could call out their favorite lines , anticipate every plot point , etc .\nand then it has something else . style . figure this out : if you can see\nfedora\nand not get hung up on what it ' s about and who the characters are , which is admittedly a large order , there ' s a real pleasure to be had in sitting there and letting it happen to you . it is not a great movie , but it has the form and feel of a great movie . the movie it feels like is\nsunset boulevard\n( 1950 ) , which was also directed by wilder and also starred william holden , and cast gloria swanson as a greta garbo type actress who had retreated into her legend and her memories .\nfinally , where our contributors set their sights on the commodification of cult film , they ran up against the overwhelming question of whether cult film is possible any longer , given a marketplace that omnivorously coopts whatever it catches in the cross hairs of its profit motive in order to produce a standardized product . under this heading , we find consideration of whether and how there can still be the kind of search for the unknown , obscure object of filmgoing desire that marked the cult adventure in the long - ago days of the midnight movie , screened in the kind of independently owned movie theatre that barely exists today .\nback in september , for the seventh harry potter film ' s release , we used a formula that took both box office and critics score into account to rank the 50 greatest movie franchises of all time . here ' s an abbreviated explanation of the process we used to come up with those rankings :\nit is typical of the morally ambivalent tone of the film that it is left to the putative villain of the piece , the leader of a drug cartel , to sum up the core of the story . this last part of the film has several major twists and there is plenty of plot and incident to get through , but ultimately it is guided by the emotional demands of the characters : will the dea make nick arrest his friend ? will jo ann decide which man she truly loves ? will the opera - loving , ping - pong playing carlos let mac truly get out of the drug trafficking business ?\ncult film has actually been a subject of intermittent , serious study for almost thirty years , and the object of \u201cgee - whiz , \u201d hyperemotional expostulations for longer than that . but cineaste is also aware that the past ten years has seen a surge of scrutiny of the cult film phenomenon by well - informed scholars , journalists , and critics armed with something more than the pleasure , curiosity , and wonder of the initial wave of critics . this \u201cnew wave\u201d of cult criticism , so to speak , carries with it the intention of winnowing the wheat of rigorous understanding from the chaff of spurious and digressive chatter .\nthere are as many social functions as there are discourses of cult . for some , it can be a badge of distinction as a marker of difference or transgression . for others , it might be a badge of distinction linked to bids for the philosophical and artistic value of \u201cgenre\u201d film ; or for others again , the reclaiming of kitsch and trash film via paracinema . i suppose what these things share is the sense of cult film as a type of \u201cothering\u201d : filmic and audience identities being constructed against cultural norms or normativity ; against the devaluation of \u201cgenre\u201d cinema ; against the manners of \u201cappropriate\u201d and \u201ctutored\u201d cinematic taste . cult is about being \u201cfor\u201d and \u201cagainst . \u201d as such , it can build and reinforce interpretive and affective communities , but it can also be a classification felt as having very intense , personalized value . so cult movies , i think , can have a rather paradoxical social function\u2014simultaneously individuating and community - building .\ni quite agree , sergio . kurt russell is \u201cmore grounded and stable\u201d and if i were to compare him with anybody ( though i don\u2019t see why i should ) then it would have to be someone like russell crowe , not gladiator or a beautiful mind , but perhaps proof of life alongside meg ryan and david morse . that\u2019s more his kind of film \u2014 rescuing someone from hell , so to say . he was certainly \u201cimpressive\u201d in tombstone \u2014 in spite of the superb cast , he walks away with the film , doesn\u2019t he ? he is a very intense actor and , yes , underrated , as you rightly say .\nthey were certainly very varied in their output but one see that with this film they were perhapos falling foul of that perception that many had of them that there is something perhaps a bit stolid about their desire to tackle important subjects in an \u2018accessible\u2019 manner which , you could argue , is either a mark of commercial savvy or a certain loftiness with regard to the intelligence of general audiences . this one os perhaps too self conciously trying tobe \u2018different\u2019 or maybe it just wasn\u2019t a pressing enough subject for them . deep down one suspects they would raher have made a film about the more conventional clements agent rather than the more diaphanous bogarde scientist .\nthis year\u2019s lineup , he said , will \u201cpush the envelope on conventional characterizations of film noir . \u201d but , it\u2019s also loaded with local connections . to explore every component , i\u2019ve pointed out the local ties of most of those films while rode explains why you need to see each one . here\u2019s the whole bill :\nwhy it\u2019s worth watching : if you want to know where the term , \u201cit\u2019s a bitter little world\u201d came from , you need to see this movie . restored 35 mm print by the ucla film and television archive . also , henreid\u2019s daughter , monika henreid , will participate in a post - screening q & a .\nbut that ' s not to say that a well - done , well - marketed series revival can ' t be lucrative . a surprisingly rapturous critical reception and breakout box - office performance by rise of the planet of the apes earlier this month helped raise the planet of the apes ranking from 46 to 43 on the list , and could get higher as the film continues to make money in wide release . the surprise box office and critical success of fast five \u2014by far the best -

along screenings of mamma mia ! are cult events in that sense , since they encourage not only repeat viewings but pleasure in the film experience \u201cbeyond all reason\u201d ( as j . p . telotte called it ) . and of course rocky horror still does the rounds . but the experience of cult seems , paradoxically , to have become at once more privatized , more global , and more disembodied . one is now certain via the internet that whatever film one adores , whether it is the big lebowski , black snake moan , or scatwork orange , that someone somewhere shares one\u2019s peculiar taste\u2014but i\u2019m not sure it matters anymore .\nwhen doctor vando and dutch meet in the bar at approximately 30 minutes into the film , there is a closeup of vando ' s earring . at the end of the scene as doctor vando leaves the bar ( approximately 34 minutes ) , vando points at his earring . this time , the earring is considerably thinner and smaller . see more \u00bb\nbtw \u2013 finally caught up with paranoiac a few weeks ago . strange is an understatement , isn\u2019t it ? i loved every minute of it ! i figured out the identity of the masked choir boy but never saw the entombed body gimmick coming . such a mix of genre tropes in that flick \u2013 kind of like a gothic suspense goulash on film .\nmelville returned to the policier model seven years later with le doulos . less well known than his other work in the genre , this film rewards attention with more elaborate characterizations than its predecessor . if you are never in doubt as to where bob or his cohorts stand , the motivations of the figures in this film seem as transitory as the weather . the title refers to the french expression for stool pigeon , for duplicity is as commonplace as trench coats in this environment . as melville stated ,\nthe characters are all double , they are all false .\nfurthermore , the criminals and the police lack the kind of brotherly bonhomie of the earlier picture . a character can never be sure when he might be shot or betrayed or arrested in le doulos ."]}

ups , and jumpy editing\u2014it means to have the quality of a nightmare , and at that it succeeds . the relentless , atonal electronic score makes the soundtrack thrum , matching getsic\u2019s near - constant screams and renfro\u2019s frequent high - pitched yelps . from the start , the bunny game pushes hard , practically demanding that its audience flee . meanwhile , rehmeier connects renfro\u2019s punishment of getsic to her pre - abduction life of prostitution , when her regular customers also frequently treated her like a slab of meat .\nat fooders , babe , kenzie , hudson , trip , dub and ruthless miss bunny . bunny is cleaning todd ' s toes . trip says that dub will be fine without bunny . at school , babe is telling todd to do a rematch . if todd wins , he gets kenzie ' s weasel . bunny then arrives in roller skates because todd told him to . bunny had bought todd a root beer . at game shakers , dub is tied up so he does not distract babe . todd doesn ' t want to play sky whale , he wants a chicken fight instead . because if she doesn ' t agree , bunny will be forced to continue working for todd so babe agrees to the chicken fight but this time , if she loses , it ' s kenzie ' s weasel . instead of a normal chicken fight , they also use bear zappers . todd picks bunny as his guard and babe gets dub . babe and todd start playing and shocking each other . todd shocks babe and babe almost falls and gets back up . babe shocks todd and she wins . bunny and ruthless scare todd and his friends away and babe , kenzie , hudson , trip , dub , and ruthless are happy to see they got bunny back .\nthis statement reveals much about the tension that the film exhibits between \u2018real\u2019 and \u2018not real , \u2019 referring to renfro and getsic as actors whilst acknowledging the freedom they ( or perhaps just renfro ) had to choose what actions would be performed and how . the use of the word \u2018play\u2019 is a nod towards the vocabulary of the sm scene which describes consensual activities in this manner . for sadomasochists , \u2018play\u2019 signifies the acts as distinct from genuine , vindictive torture and emphasises them as \u2018fun . \u2019 rehmeier\u2019s use of the word in the film\u2019s title is , then , intended as irony . the \u2018game\u2019 of the title has bunny placed in a \u2018bunny\u2019 gimp - mask and chased outside the truck by hog in a pig - mask . the game and play metaphors are disrupted , however , by the question over the alleged authentic torture that takes place , particularly the branding of getsic\u2019s body .\nthe game design and development program at michigan state university was founded in 2005 , and has grown leaps and bounds into a top 10 ranked program by the princeton review .\nin an interview ms . getsic described her participation in \u201cthe bunny game\u201d as \u201cmore art than film . \u201d she fasted before shooting started and found herself in a meditative state during scenes . and for the more physical demands of the role she drew on a rape and other sexual abuses she endured when she was younger .\nall of that ; the characters , the story , the violence , degradation - it all contributes to the movie ' s ability to cross the line of fiction into reality . other reviewers have commented on the voyeuristic nature of\nthe bunny game\nand that ' s because it looks and feels like you are watching is real . even with the experimental editing and the general artistic nature of the movie , it still manages to blur that line between real and fake . even the smallest details manage to help sell this , such as bunny screaming for her life hoping that someone will hear her . quite frankly i ' ve never seen a movie that has managed to capture such a guttural and almost primitive scream from an actress . but that ' s why\nthe bunny game\nis so powerful and terrifying , it ' s that it makes you feel like you are watching something you shouldn ' t be .\nthis bunny doesn ' t have time to hunt for eggs . she ' s too busy hunting for a totally awesome outfit !\nthe bbfc considered whether the issue could be dealt with through cuts . however , the pervasiveness of the abuse in the bunny game makes it very difficult to deal with . the work is therefore refused a certificate . if the company would like to attempt to cut this work in order to submit it in a reduced form , they are entitled to do so , but the board can offer no assurances that such re - editing would be successful .\nin that , however , the bunny game becomes more performance art than horror movie . is the endurance test that actress getsic is put through for her own benefit or the audience\u2019s ? perhaps a bit of both , but it appears that rehmeier and his actors have decided to explore the depths to which they\u2019ll go for their art for whatever reason they\u2019ve decided .\nis not only cute ; it is a fun game suitable to anyone looking for an exhilarating platform experience full of rewards and surprises .\n\u00a92006 -

punches - pulled experience , and about exploring degrees of human degradation , the way that some performance artists have over the years . ( on the dvd / blu - ray commentary track , rehmeier and getsic say that every burn , cut , and punch literally happened . ) but the trick to a movie like this is to provide a hook and to vary the tone , to give people a reason to stick around besides pride in endurance . and after its first 20 minutes , the bunny game has done just about all it\u2019s going to do\u2014no matter how much rehmeier varies the compositions .\n\u201cto guide development with the support and feedback of players . we want to know what you find the most exciting , entertaining , and challenging in order to deliver the best improvements to super bunny man . \u201d\ncontrollers now work in menus , and can be rebound inside the game instead of having to hand edit the config file . you can also rebind controls for each of the players , when using the local multiplayer or split screen support .\nat a time when some horror fans consider the genre to be stagnating with \u201cwhy bother ? \u201d remakes and found -

modification and underground - surgery scenes . it has been acquired by universal .\nthe bunny game is cited as a horror film by director / writer adam rehmeier . its stark black and white presentaion and kinetically introresting editing makes it stnd out among its peers . in fact its a bit of an oddity . it\u2019s painful , hardcore , suffered and yet naturally progressive ( also cited as being unscripted ) . though for horror fans you should know it\u2019s not your usaul cup of tea . actress rodleen getsic plays the highly abusive role of bunny in this culty feeling film .\nthe decision means that the film cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the uk .\ndrag the shapes from the bottom to the picture to make it complete again .\nread each clue . find the letters to spell the answer in the matrix .\nthe nameless prostitute ( rodleen getsic ) at the center of adam rehmeier \u2018s the bunny game subverts the heroine\u2019s role in entirely different ways . first of all , she\u2019s a prostitute , not the typical chaste leading lady we are to expect . when we first see her , she is being debased and dominated by an overly aggressive client in graphic detail , in a way not unlike one might see in an amateur adult video .\nthis is a barnyard game between you and seven hens . each hen bears a letter . use the letters to spell as many words as you can before time runs out .\ntaking the term \u201ctorture porn\u201d more literally than usual , director adam rehmeier\u2019s brutal , repellent the bunny game stars rodleen getsic ( who also \u201cco - wrote\u201d the film with rehmeier ) as a street hooker who gets shackled , stripped , and beaten by weathered trucker jeff renfro . and that\u2019s pretty much the entire movie . renfro takes getsic to the desert , shaves her head , gags her , scars her , and jerks her around on a chain . the only thing like a twist in the bunny game comes nearly an hour into the 75 - minute film , when getsic regains consciousness and discovers that renfro has encased her head in a tight , white leather rabbit mask , while he wears a similar \u201chog\u201d mask . but even that development only adds a little visual variety , before rehmeier gets back to the grind of assault and dissonance .\nbunny is the very helpful and lovable sidekick of rap super - star double g . he\u2019s very kind , very hungry , and very smart . he graduated from business school .\nplay bugs bunny gone fishing free online now . bugs is training for the acme fishing contest . catch loads of fishies with your rod and win ! . . . read more\n\u201cwe decided to make a horror film but keep the action real , \u201d said mr . rehmeier , 36 , a nebraska native and son of a judge , who has a background in documentaries . he shot \u201cthe bunny game , \u201d his first feature , in about two weeks in 2008 for $ 13 , 000 . the script was not much more than an outline , with most of the scenes improvised .\nif you can ' t see or play the game , make sure you turn on flash in your browser . click here to read the guide from adobe how to allow flash for certain websites in google chrome .\n. but , trangressive ? disturbing ? really ? well , see , here ' s the thing : all of the violence inflicted on the bunny by the hog is unsimulated . the bunny really is getting the shit kicked out of her , getting asphyxiated , getting dragged naked through the desert , getting branded . none of that is fake , and that ' s where people are up in arms about this movie . if you ' re watching this , you ' re watching someone being tortured , full stop .\nmr . rehmeier , who cites jean - luc godard and dario argento as influences , said \u201cthe bunny game\u201d was intended less as entertainment than as a feminist take on \u201ca cautionary tale about drug abuse and taking rides with strangers . \u201d having never aimed for the mainstream , he knows his primary audience will be mostly fans of extreme horror and \u201cthe strong at heart . \u201d for that he sounds almost apologetic .\na new addition to game haven\u2019s facilities , mwana park children\u2019s playground , is the perfect locations to host a birthday party . an inside and outside large play area to keep the kids entertained while you have a bite to eat at the ambrosia restaurant .\nas strange as it sounds , the ( supposed ) lack of explanation of story or characters makes it feel more real . since , frankly , all of it would have been unnecessary and it would have all felt forced . adam and rodleen let the events that unfold and the characters themselves dictate the emotional level of\nthe bunny game\n. when you watch bunny sell herself so she can do drugs , you don ' t want to and shouldn ' t care for her or her plight . yet you do . all simply because you watch the character and how she behaves in her world between being violated and the substance abuse . such a person could and would be easily brushed off yet as we watch , you certainly begin to feel for bunny as even her lifestyle takes an emotional toll on her . and much like bunny ' s character , we are never told who hog is or why he is doing this to her or any of his past victims . but once again , do we need to ? the answer is no .\nyou can use this widget - maker to generate a bit of html that can be embedded in your website to easily allow customers to purchase this game on steam .\nin this fun math puzzle and logic game , make sure each row , column , and\nregion\nor block of squares contains each egg exactly one time .\njust as there\u2019s no emotional negotiation going on between victim and attacker in the bunny game , there is no similar negotiation between film and viewer like there is with horror films with a strong heroine . the film becomes frightening not because of manufactured scares , but out of a sense of wondering how far filmmaker and actors are going to push themselves . it is not the prostitute we end up fearing for , but getsic herself .\nwe want to get the community involved in development , and early access is a great way to do so . we have a lot of ideas for the game , so we want to include player ' s feedback to help keep us on the right track .\nbig buck bunny was the first project created in the blender institute \u2018s studio in amsterdam . a giant , gentle rabbit finds his happy morning walk being disturbed by rodents who kill his two favorite butterflies . in rage , he sets up a masterful plan to avenge the deaths of the butterflies .\ni do find it funny though that when i first started talking to adam about\nthe bunny game\n, he essentially warned me that there would be no blood or general special effects used . it ' s interesting to see that because of our current situation in the cinematic world of where movies are trying to out gore one another . a filmmaker actually felt the need to give a disclaimer that their movie doesn ' t feature any blood or gore because that ' s what people expect to get these days . what makes\nthe bunny game\nmore frightening and more shocking is it ' s complete lack of red corn syrup ; all the violence is real and the mental torture feels real . when hog man handles and abuses these women , he is actually doing it . you feel every slap , you wince and cringe when he throws them around , spits in their face , suffocates them with plastic bags . and you most certainly hear and shudder at the crackling of skin being burned when bunny and another nameless victim are actually branded with hot metal .\nwe start the film seeing bunny being suffocated in a dreadful way . this scene then cuts right into the action of the film which at first i thought was the director just being \u201cartsy\u201d . now what you are seeing is a foreshadowing , but you tend to forget after running thru the whole movie and its gritty premise .\na huge thanks to the fans for your support and patience , bunny must die ! chelsea and the 7 devils is now fully compatible with windows 10 . the update also includes minor bug fixes and performance improvements . thank you for playing and enjoying rockin\u2019 android games .\nthe second episode of the caminandes series was realized in the studio of blender institute as well .\nmatch the words to the pictures . drag and drop each word label onto the matching picture .\nfor early access we are including : four ( 4 ) different game modes . all with local and online capabilities . five ( 5 ) characters . each with a species based combat mechanic . unique stats based on damage , speed and health recovery , depending on which animal the character is based on . five ( 5 ) stages . all modeled on key locations of the game\u2019s story . original soundtrack and sfx .\nthere\u2019s no digital or prosthetic abracadabra at work in \u201cthe bunny game , \u201d unlike that in \u201chostel , \u201d \u201csaw\u201d and other so - called torture porn films . adam rehmeier , the director , said that other than drug and alcohol use , nothing in the film is simulated , and ms . getsic has the branding scars to prove it . in a making - of documentary on the dvd , released in july by autonomy pictures , ms . getsic says , \u201cpart of my soul did die in making this film . \u201d\nplot : bunny is a young girl who lives on the streets and sells her body in order to pay for drugs and alcohol . when she propositions a semi - truck driver , she soon finds herself chained up in the back of his truck where the games will begin .\nplay as rabbit lords conquering a new world on behalf of the bunny king . take control of vast territories across the new world , build cities , and farm resources to make your fiefs prosper and harvest precious golden carrots . don ' t forget to satisfy the king by accomplishing missions on behalf of his majesty . each choice can bring you closer to victory , but only one of you will be named\nbig ears\nby the bunny king . . . will you be worthy ?\n\u201cthe full version will have 50 levels in the co - op story mode . new multiplayer game - modes , mechanics , and levels will be added over time . we are also considering online features , but only if they are technically feasible . \u201d\nour sincere apologies , rockin\u2019 android is committed to bringing you the best in independently produced japanese gaming ; however the bunny must die project in development with wayforward has officially been cancelled . stay tuned for further announcements on upcoming rockin\u2019 android games and updates .\nthe third episode of the caminandes series is about koro the llama and a pesky but very cute penguin .\ndespite what rehmeier and getsic assert ( and they do it often ) , the bunny game is nothing more than a show of force . it\u2019s a recording of controlled abuse with a vague message of \u201cthis can and does happen . \u201d no motivation or reason is ever given for hog\u2019s masochism . he\u2019s merely the unknown stranger that could do this to you . conversely , getsic is the indescript victim . she leads a tough life full of rough sex and drug use and has no chance of escape , no power against her tormentor . it\u2019s essentially an allegory of the most graphic and violent kind , but too self - indulgent with the torture it depicts . bunny\u2019s fate is shown in two apparent endings , neither of which restore her with any power or dignity .\nthe bunny game might also earn the distinction of being a snuff film . everything onscreen , aside from the drug use , is entirely real and unscripted . renfro and getsic didn\u2019t quite \u201cact\u201d as much as become their roles . getsic fasted for 40 days prior to shooting and is mentally and physically fragile because of it . she\u2019s absolutely powerless against the brute might of renfro , whose maniacal taunting is often as unsettling as his physical abuse . the movie blurs the line between fiction and reality and will be repellant to many people . that\u2019d be fine , even valuable , if it had any purpose or meaning behind it .\nat school , babe is giving flyers out for the sky whale update . trip and hudson arrive to put the sign up . while putting the sign up , hudson nails trip ' s hand . at game shakers , there is a sky whale tournament . babe beats chella and hudson but loses to todd chafter . then , hudson tells todd that he has a booger . dub still hasn ' t arrived after 2 hrs and 11 minutes after the tournament started . babe and todd are going to play in the finals . dub , bunny and ruthless then arrive . ruthless notices the booger in todd ' s nose .\n, i was given pause . it ' s the story of a prostitute who is abducted by a truck driver and tortured for five days . there ' s almost no dialogue , it ' s shot in stark black and white , and consists almost entirely of the victimization of the prostitute ( referred to only as\nthe bunny\n) at the hands of her johns and the truck driver . there ' s some interstitial footage of the bunny at some other unspecified time and of the truck driver ( referred to as\nthe hog\n) torturing and eventually killing another victim . that ' s it . no story of which to speak , just scenes of violence and degradation punctuated by abrasive noises and equally abrasive music .\nin reality , most people will place the antenna in the same room as the tv . so try a few higher locations in the room , such as along the wall near the ceiling . some of the newer flat antennas , such as the mohu leaf , can be painted , allowing them to blend in with the d\u00e9cor .\nhere ' s the top changes in the 1 . 3 release . the points listed here are just a summary of all the changes . you can find the full change log here :\nthe bunny game is not a film in the conventional sense of the word . when director adam rehmeier and actress radleen getsic set out to make a horror film in 2008 , they didn\u2019t have a crew or a script . all they had was a goal : to make a film that never held back . to that end , they succeeded . over thirteen days in hollywood and a nearby desert , rehmeier formed a one - man crew as he shot getsic and non - actor jeff renfro with the singular condition that \u201canything goes\u201d . the resulting 76 - minute film is so graphic and independent that it\u2019s basically a giant middle finger to the film \u201cestablishment\u201d , best articulated by the lengthy unsimulated blowjob that begins the film .\nis the unremitting sexual and physical abuse of a helpless woman , as well as the sadistic and sexual pleasure the man derives from this . the emphasis on the woman\u2019s nudity tends to eroticise what is shown , while aspects of the work such as the lack of explanation of the events depicted , and the stylistic treatment , may encourage some viewers to enjoy and share in the man\u2019s callousness and the pleasure he takes in the woman\u2019s pain and humiliation . [ 34 ]\nwhen babe and kenzie created sky whale for a seventh grade science project , they were hoping for a passing grade at best . they never expected it to become the most popular game of the year ! now they ' re making millions with their insanely successful business . what could go wrong ?\ndespite the lewd and violent subject matter , rehmeier\u2019s gritty black and white cinematography actually attains a kind of beauty . jittery close - ups are balanced by carefully - composed long shots , creating a nightmarish rollicking pace . appropriate enough ; getsic\u2019s prostitute character ( \u201cbunny\u201d ) is abducted by renfro as a trucker ( \u201chog\u201d ) who takes her out into the desert and tortures her for 5 days in the back of his truck . his sadistic \u201cgames\u201d , most of which involve bunny stripped of her clothing , make up more than 75 % of the film . there has never been a film more deserving of the label \u201ctorture porn . \u201d\nthe film gets darker folks\u2026somewhere between a lynchian kind of approach and a psycho - trucker - movie . the title , i presumed referred to our lead hopping from one screw to the next in the interest of making it into the next day ( though i found that the title is more literal even though that metaphor could be made ) bunny can\u2019t even get \u201cthat\u201d straight as she is seen passing out during a session and then robbed of her valuables .\nif you die , there is never any load time ; you can try again instantly ! as your skills improve , you ' ll see that the game is not about winning . it ' s about experimenting to make the coolest action scenes that you can . every design decision is made with that in mind , from the mouselook camera to the context - sensitive combat controls .\ncatch eggs from chickens that are factors of the numbered label on the basket .\nto write a new article , just enter the title in the box below .\nthe film follows a female prostitute who hitches a lift with a truck driver . the truck driver kidnaps the woman , restrains and forcibly strips her , and proceeds to physically and sexually abuse and humiliate her . the abuse of the kidnapped woman takes up the greater part of the film .\nwelcome to the chicken ranch where every hen is busy laying lettered eggs . you must spell the word that the eggs form before they fall off the conveyor belt .\nposters / picture gallery : the posters for the film are visually striking , each featuring either bunny or hog and a singular directive such as \u201crun\u201d or \u201cscream . \u201d there are also plenty of stills . some are captivating compositions that reflect the film\u2019s striking cinematography . others are more mundane and seem like random screencaps . a simple slideshow feature allows you to view all the images with minimal effort .\nbut rodleen getsic \u2014 who endured unspeakable acts while shooting the film \u201cthe bunny game\u201d \u2014 is no mere scream queen . ms . getsic , 37 , plays a prostitute abducted by a crazed truck driver ( jeff renfro ) , who drugs and strips her and chains her inside his rig . for the rest of the film\u2019s 76 - minute running time he sexually assaults her ; slaps and spits on her ; shaves her head ; and drags her , in a grotesque rabbit - shaped hood that gives the film its title , on a leash through the desert . there are other indignities as well , but in the film\u2019s most brutal scene the actress is actually branded on her back . shooting digitally in black and white in an aggressively shaky style , the camera unflinchingly captures it all , while an assaultive metal soundtrack underscores ms . getsic\u2019s screams .\nthe movie opens cold , hard , and ugly , with the bunny fellating someone in a back alley . it ' s unsimulated and violent , with the bunny gagging on the john ' s penis as he forces it further and further down her throat . she is a victim from the first frame . the first half of the movie is pretty much a cycle of degradation , grief , rage , and drug abuse . the bunny wanders around los angeles , teetering on impossibly high platform shoes which seem less like a way to make her taller than a way to keep her perpetually off balance , to keep her from standing her ground . she fucks dirty strangers in cheap motel rooms . some of them beat her . others take advantage of her being unconscious to rape her and steal her possessions . in between , she cleans herself off , sobbing , and snorts line after line of either cocaine or speed , it ' s never made clear which . as if it matters . snort , fuck , cry , rinse , repeat .\n\u201cthe bunny game\u201d is just the latest horror film in which actresses have delivered extreme physical performances . french cinema has been particularly bold : alysson paradis playing a woman trying to save her unborn baby from a deranged home intruder in \u201cinside\u201d ( 2007 ) ; morjana alaoui , pummeled to a pulp in the revenge fantasy \u201cmartyrs\u201d ( 2008 ) ; and karina testa as a pregnant woman menaced by a torture - happy brood in \u201cfrontier ( s ) \u201d ( 2008 ) . for tom six\u2019s notorious 2009 gross - out , \u201cthe human centipede ( first sequence ) , \u201d the american actress ashlynn yennie spent a lot of time on all fours in tears while her character was grafted to another person\u2019s anus . she also appeared in the 2011 sequel . ( the final part of the trilogy is expected next year . )\n- 70 % of the 34 user reviews in the last 30 days are positive .\ncatch eggs from even or odd numbered chickens according to the label on the basket .\nthe second half of the movie is primarily concerned with her captivity and torture . the hog is an older man , a truck driver . the bunny shares some drugs with him , offers him a blow job . he responds by chloroforming her . he puts her in the trailer of his semi , chains her to the wall , and drives his truck out into the desert , where nobody can hear them . what follows is scene after scene of the hog terrorizing either the bunny or an earlier victim ( listed in the credits as , surprise ,\nmartyr\n) . he cuts their clothes away , asphyxiates them , brands them . plays with their bodies , forces himself on them while they lie bound and gagged . sometimes we see this directly , sometimes we see it recorded and played back for the bunny . point of view is less important than just seeing it . it ' s just there , people getting hurt by this man . it ' s often accompanied by loud , harsh music and primitive editing tricks , looping scenes over and over again . pretty much all this accomplishes is taking us out of whatever drama builds up . with one hand it refuses us the comfort of it just being a movie , and with the other it pushes its artificiality in your face ."]}

backed militias have been provided with iranian air support , artillery , electronic warfare equipment and medical support . badr , the main shiite militia in iraq , fought as a military division in the iranian order of battle during the iran - iraq war . badr now leads iraq\u2019s largest security institution , the half - million ministry of interior , and the shia militias are being formed into a proto - ministry that resembles their patron , iran\u2019s islamic revolutionary guard corps ( irgc ) .\nnow iran seems to have provided its shiite houthi allies with c - 802 missiles , which have been used in a number of attacks on united arab emirates ( uae ) warships in the saudi - led war in yemen . the houthis are inflicting heavy damage on the saudi military , destroying scores of u . s . - supplied main battle tanks and other armoured vehicles using iranian - provided anti - tank guided missiles . iran\u2019s proxies are seizing terrain in southern saudi arabia and lobbing scud missiles at military bases deep within the kingdom .\nthe next stage in the saudi arabian war with iran will be an intensification of the proxy war in syria . this is where riyadh plans to fight its main battle against iran . then saudi arabian foreign minister prince saud al - faisal signaled as far back as march 2012 that \u201cthe arming of the [ syrian ] opposition is a duty . \u201d already saudi , qatari and turkish support has allowed rebels in northwestern syria to inflict severe armor losses on pro - assad forces using anti - tank guided missiles . the provision of anti - aircraft missiles may be next . the u . s . - led coalition seems to be backing away from the morally - ambiguous war west of the euphrates in syria , where the main opposition to the islamic state and assad are radical salafists that western nations cannot engage . but saudi arabia and its allies have been doing exactly this in yemen for half a decade and are now likely to take over the war west of the euphrates in syria . riyadh now seems to view al qaeda in the arabian peninsula as a lesser evil to the iranian - backed houthis in yemen : how soon before it views \u201cmoderate splinters\u201d of the islamic state and jabhat al - nusra the same way in western syria ?\nat some point in the coming years we are likely to see both sides miscalculate and unleash a very short , very sharp burst of military force against each other . this will be a wake - up call . both iran and the gulf states are far more powerfully armed than they were during the iran - iraq war . the advanced air forces of the saudis and their key ally the uae are now capable of destroying practically all iran\u2019s port facilities , oil loading terminals and key industries using stand - off precision - guided munitions . iran can shower the gulf coastline with multitudinous unguided rockets and a higher concentration of guided long - range missiles than ever before . in 1988 the iranian navy was destroyed by the united states in a single day of combat \u2014 operation praying mantis . even a day or two of such \u201cpush - button warfare\u201d would serve as a reminder to both sides of their overriding imperative to avoid direct conflict and to keep their conflict limited to the territories of unfortunate third - parties .\nlong before the current hullabaloo saudi arabia and the other sunni gulf states have been slowly cultivating their own network of military proxies . the first major recipient of gulf military support was the saudi - supported lebanese government . the uae sent nine fully - armed and crewed sa - 342l gazelle helicopters to help the lebanese government crush al - qaeda - linked fatah al - islam at tripoli\u2019s nahr al - bared refugee camp in may 2007 . in 2009 , a year after saudi\u2019s king abdullah called for the u . s . to \u201ccut the head off the snake\u201d by bombing iran , riyadh launched a nine - week military campaign against the houthi rebels in northern yemen , losing 137 troops . this triggered a major intensification of saudi arabian , jordanian and uae provision of training , salaries , armored vehicles , and weapons to anti - houthi militias in northern yemen . now the gulf states and other allies like pakistan and somalia are building up new proxy forces in yemen to assist in the saudi - led military campaign against the houthis .\n\u201ckaleidoscope have been a loyal and active supporter of the rnli since 1994 . over the past 20 years , their members have not only raised over \u00a320 , 000 for the lifeboat service and its volunteer crews , but they have helped to raise awareness of the work undertaken by the institution to a wide audience both at events and online . more recently , they have worked with the rnli\u2019s films and images and archive departments supplying footage and tracing material previously believed wiped . none of this would have been possible without them . whilst kaleidoscope are based in land -

saudi and iran will want to test and hurt each other , signal limits , but not suffer mutual destruction .\niran will begin to stir violence in eastern province and bahrain , and it may try harder to fight supplies through to yemen by sea by bolstering houthi coastal missile batteries .\nthough neither saudi arabian nor iran envisage an open conventional war between them \u2014 a result that saudi arabia\u2019s crown price and defence minister prince mohammed bin salman recently called \u201ca major catastrophe\u201d \u2014 there is always the potential for frontier skirmishes on their shared littoral borders and in the neutral space of the gulf . shared gas fields and disputed islands are obvious touchpoints . iran might test missiles closer and closer to gulf sea - lanes and coasts . aerial patrols might begin to test each other : this happened during the iran - iraq war along the so - called \u201cfahd line\u201d until a saudi interceptor shot down two iranian fighter aircraft in 1984 . iran ( or the gulf states ) could undertake tit - for - tat harassment , boarding or even deniable use of naval mines against each other\u2019s trade routes . ( iran also used this tactic in the 1980s ) . cyberwarfare is a likely deniable weapon of choice for both sides also .\nmichael knights is the lafer fellow at the washington institute for near east policy . he has worked on the military balance between iran and the gulf states for over twenty years .\nthomas e . ricks covered the u . s . military from 1991 to 2008 for the wall street journal and then the washington post . he can be reached at ricksblogcomment @ gmail . com .\nperu\u2019s national identity was bound up with conflict and corruption for decades \u2014 then it qualified for the world cup .\nhamlet the prince of denmark , and a student at the university of wittenberg . at the beginning of the play , hamlet\u2019s father , king hamlet , has recently died , and his mother , queen gertrude , has married the new king , hamlet\u2019s uncle claudius . hamlet is melancholy , bitter , and cynical , full of hatred for his uncle and disgust at his mother for marrying him . when the ghost of hamlet\u2019s father appears and claims to have been murdered by claudius , hamlet becomes obsessed with avenging his father\u2019s death but keeps thinking of reasons why he should wait before killing claudius\u2014then chastizes himself for failing to act boldly . hamlet is a character of contradictions . he admires characters like fortinbras and the player king , who behave passionately and even violently for no good reason , but is himself thoughtful , reflective , and philosophical . at times hamlet is indecisive and hesitant , but at other times he is prone to rash and impulsive acts of violence .\nclaudius the king of denmark , hamlet\u2019s uncle . the villain of the play , claudius is a calculating , ambitious politician , adept at manipulating others for his own ends and willing to execute , assassinate , or murder to stay in power . he doesn\u2019t understand hamlet or hamlet\u2019s motives , but he is quick to perceive hamlet as a threat and take decisive action against him . claudius does occasionally show signs of remorse and human feeling\u2014his affection for gertrude , for instance , seems sincere .\ngertrude the queen of denmark , hamlet\u2019s mother , recently married to claudius . we never get to observe gertrude on her own , so we know much more about how hamlet feels about her than about how she sees herself . she seems clearly to love hamlet , but hamlet sees her as a weak , even depraved , woman motivated wholly by lust . hamlet has such strong feelings about her sex life that he becomes momentarily distracted from his revenge quest , urging her toward a life of chastity .\npolonius the lord chamberlain of claudius\u2019s court , and the father of laertes and ophelia . polonius has good intentions , but he tends to be somewhat conniving and underhanded . he frequently leaps to the wrong conclusions , and his speeches are comically pompous and long - winded . he is completely incapable of figuring out what hamlet is up to .\nhoratio hamlet\u2019s close friend , who studied with the prince at the university of wittenberg . hamlet trusts horatio above any of the other characters , valuing him for his even temper and equanimity\u2014qualities that hamlet seems to despise in himself . horatio is loyal and helpful to hamlet throughout the play . after hamlet\u2019s death , horatio remains alive to tell hamlet\u2019s story .\nophelia polonius\u2019s daughter , a beautiful young woman with whom hamlet has been in love . a sweet and innocent young girl , ophelia dutifully strives to obey her father and her brother , laertes , allowing polonius to use her in his scheme to spy on hamlet . when her father dies , her sanity unravels , and in her madness she paints a scathing picture of young men as sexually exploitative and unfaithful , and her mad speeches about flowers conceal implied condemnations of claudius and gertrude .\nlaertes polonius\u2019s son and ophelia\u2019s brother , a young man who spends much of the play in france . passionate and quick to action , laertes is a foil for the reflective and agonized hamlet .\nthe ghost the specter of hamlet\u2019s recently deceased father . the ghost , who claims to have been murdered by claudius , calls upon hamlet to avenge him . however , it is not entirely certain whether the ghost is what it appears to be . hamlet speculates that the ghost might be a devil sent to deceive him and tempt him into murder , and the question of what the ghost is or where it comes from is never definitively resolved .\nrosencrantz and guildenstern two slightly bumbling courtiers , former friends of hamlet from wittenberg , who are summoned by claudius and gertrude to discover the cause of hamlet\u2019s strange behavior .\nosric the foolish courtier who summons hamlet to his duel with laertes . his speeches are pretentious and difficult to understand .\nvoltimand and cornelius courtiers whom claudius sends to norway to persuade the king to prevent fortinbras from attacking .\nmarcellus and barnardo the officers who first see the ghost walking the ramparts of elsinore and who summon horatio to witness it . marcellus is present when hamlet first encounters the ghost .\nreynaldo polonius\u2019s servant , sent to france by polonius to check up on and spy on laertes .\nsparknotes is brought to you by b & n . visit b & n to buy and rent textbooks , and check out our award -

( mr a s khanna - md airawat group )\ntitled after airavata , a mythological five headed divine white elephant that carries the hindu god indra with the prefix mister as mr . airavata and not to forget the tagline \u2013 its a brand , is by all means a true inspiration for \u2018no sense\u2019 movies . the \u2018intelligence\u2019 of director arjun and his basic knowledge is too commendable that easily makes 157 minutes of viewing experience the best torture in the recent times .\ndarshan ( airavata ) is a police officer . he serves as a good police officer and works for the well - being of society .\nthe launch of airavata was attended by politicians , such as , ramachandre gowda and puttanna . sandesh nagaraj is a leader in the congress party .\npresenting to you\no priya\naudio

considered as the best actor to essay negative roles in indian movies will now be seen opposite challenging star darshan in sandalwood ' s forthcoming movie airavata . airavata movie launch photos\nit appears that director a . p . arjun has named his recent film as mr . airavata with tag name \u201cits a brand\u201d , after the mythical elephant . the film seems to redefine the symbolism of the white elephant and the director has made use of every frame in the 150 - minute film to project the \u2018he - man\u2019 image of the \u2018star\u2019 darshan .\ndarshan will be seen in the role of a police officer in airavata and has erica fernandez cast opposite him . v harikrishna has composed the music for the movie . comedian bullet prakash will be seen in a prominent role in the movie .\nstory darshan ( airavata ) is a police officer . he serves as a good police officer and works for the well - being of society . darshan ' s punctuality , anti - corruption motto and strictness makes him an ideal police man and he works towards clearing the violence and negative elements of the society . like in every story prakash raj ( pratap kale ) is the villain and he makes a mass entry on the big screen when airavata chases his gang . urvashi rautela ( priya ) is a engineer who falls in love with darshan for his stylish avatar and attitude . the twist in the tale is just before intermission and the actual story rolls on the silver screen , which heads to a flash back . is airavata a real or fake cop in the movie ? will he be able to eradicate all the negativity and violence of pratap kale and make a corruption free society ? to know , watch the movie .\narjun says , \u201ci was in search of a heroine for the film for 15 days , when i came across an advertisement and saw photos of urvashi . later , i got to know that she was a beauty queen . during her audition , her height ( 5\u201910\u201d ) , her smiling face and her dance skills pushed me to consider her for airavata . \u201d\nits my great pleasure that i am staying in shreeniketan apartment constructed and developed by mr . prakash poorvi housing development company pvt ltd , a man who believes in giving more than his words . being a trader of building material product , i can say the construction , the infrastructure , the amenities and the most importantly the unique design are the best in the industry .\nis abuzz with news about darshan ' s son making his cinematic debut . the actor ' s seven - year - old , vineesh , was recently seen on the sets of airavata , which stars darshan in the lead . the little boy and his father were seen dressed as police officers and rehearsing their dialogues . the scene , which was canned on friday , apparently needed just one take .\nairavata will be produced by sandesh nagaraj under his home banner ' sandesh enterprises ' . the other lead cast of the movie is likely to be revealed shortly by the director , who has come up with an unique script for challenging star . the actor , who had agreed to play the lead role without even a second thought is all set to recreate the magic of ayya and swamy by donning khaki .\nas per the mythology , airavata with its five head was a great use for indra but arjun here has dedicated all his head towards build - ups from scene one to the end . the first half of it is nothing but a prolonged commercial advertisement through the super cop for an international branded sunglasses and a motorcycle . of course where there are build ups , there has to be senseless dialogue , penned by none other the \u2018intelligent\u2019 director .\nafter many years , prakash raj will be seen in negative shade on kannada screen with airavata , which is touted to be an out and out action entertainer . darshan , who plays cop in the film is paired opposite mumbai lass erica fernandes . the film directed by ap arjun of ambari and adhoori fame is likely to go on - floors in august 2014 . erica , who made her kannada debut with power star puneet rajkumar ' s ninnindale will be playing love interest to the challenging star in the movie .\nwondering what struck the director to come up with such literally breathtaking story leaves the audience with a billion dollar question . the director who has also penned lyrics for the movies has rewritten rules and regulations pertaining to the appointment of an ips officer and his super powers . amazing , with such super powers even the characters such as superman and all other man\u2019s are put to shame . the need of the hour is a police officer with great powers such as that of airavata portrayed with great challenge by darshan . how long do we need to wait for that hour to arrive ? may be a sequel could thrown some light on it .\na person who can \u2018crack\u2019 the civil exam in a day even after been arrested and sent to jail for a cheating offense by faking as an ips officer and getting away with a minor punishment by the janata nyalayala is a fantasy to \u2018die\u2019 for . the president of india gives permission to airavata to appear for ips exam . wow ! again , the arjun\u2019s brain by re - writing the public service commission act . well , there is nothing called ips exam but according to not so intelligent as the director here is , it is actually the public civil services examination . prakash rai is the villain and is the only sensible one to watch out for .\nyoung director a . p . arjun , who directed ambari and adhdhoori , is all set to direct a new film with challenging star darshan .\nthis film is produced by sandesh nagaraj and will have darshan playing a super cop . darshan is donning the police uniform after a long gap .\ndarshan says he spotted a . p . arjun ` s talent when he was working as an assistant director to p . n . sathya .\nhe wrote one song for my film thangigaagi which was good . he is good with lyrics and dialogues . and with two successful films , arjun has proved his mettle\n, says darshan .\narjun is on cloud nine because of this offer which was recommended by the challenging star himself .\ni will try to do my best in the film . i am now working on the script and it is too early to say anything\n, says arjun .\nthe film will start after the shoot of brundavana which will be launched on darshan ` s birthday , february 16 in bangalore . meanwhile , anand appugol has also announced a new film with darshan in the lead to be launched on august 15 .\nmeanwhile , arjun who is now busy making preparations for the launch of a new film raate with yogish in the lead is all set to start the script for the darshan film .\nwas launched in a grand manner on his birthday in bangalore in the presence of senior members of the kannada film industry .\nwhile

motion animation , and the unique style is something i really fell in love with . i was worried that an american film voiced by such big names as charlize theron , matthew mcconaughey and ralph fiennes might not have the independent cinema feeling that a film like this needs , but i needn\u2019t have worried . the famous voices weren\u2019t at all distracting , because the animated characters were so watchable and full of their own unique charms . in fact , i was so lost in the story that i didn\u2019t even think about it being an animated film most of the time .\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 .\n\u201ci don\u2019t believe there is a gap in film between documentary and fiction , \u201d he said . \u201cwhat i mean by this is that the camera is documenting what is in front of it . \u2026 a film is just the subjective structuring of time . \u201d\n\u201cif you must blink , do it now\u2026\u201d what an opening line ! i was captivated from the moment the film started , and kubo & the two strings is without a doubt the best animated film i\u2019ve seen this year , and in a long time .\none of the horror genre ' s\nmost widely read critics\n( rue morgue # 68 ) ,\nan accomplished film journalist\n( comic buyer ' s guide # 1535 ) , and the award - winning author of horror films of the 1980s ( 2007 ) , the rock and roll film encyclopedia ( 2007 ) and horror films of the 1970s ( 2002 ) , john kenneth muir , presents his blog on film , television and nostalgia , named one of the top 100 film studies blog on the net .\nthe resin composition for use in a release film of the present invention is preferably used as a release film , and can be used in the form of a release film having a support . further , the resin composition can be used in a wide variety of applications that need a resin composition , such as a prepreg , a solder resist , an under - film material , a die bonding material , a semiconductor encapsulation material , a sealing resin , a part buried resin , a circuit board , a laminate , and a multilayer printed wiring board .\nvideo : shikoku ' s video presentation is , overall , good . it ' s hard to gauge the accuracy of the colors , or how vibrant they are , during most of this film , as a lot of scenes , in particular the lengthy flashback that the movie opens with , are shown through different color filters . more often than not , though , the colors appeared to be vibrant on this release , although the contrast in general could have done with being increased slightly . the brightness level on this release appears to be set at just the right level , with the film ' s many night scenes being very easy to spot details during . as for digital inconsistencies , there is some artifacting apparent , and the film itself could have stood to be a little sharper , but in general they handled well here . in terms of the shape of the print used for the transfer , which is the film ' s original japanese version , it appears to be in perfect shape . there is very little grain apparent on this release , with not a single visible scratch during the course of the film . shikoku ' s original aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 is maintained on this dvd .\nit is another object of the present invention to provide novel methods for preparing a circuit board by using such a resin composition or release film .\n( 1 ) a resin composition for use in a release film , comprising ( a ) an epoxy resin and ( b ) aluminum hydroxide .\nin the vicinity i will automatically take it seriously . so , knowing that this film would be about the so - called\nillegal\nand gruesome mountain shinto rituals now taking place in shikoku with the\ndeath\nkanji , i , like an idiot , fell for it just the way they had planned , and was prepared to be enthralled and even a little frightened for a while .\nand the music \u2013 what wonderful music ! i found out not long before seeing the film that the wonderful hibiki ichikawa had been one of the featured shamisen players on the soundtrack along with kevin kmetz . the shamisen was as much a character as kubo himself , and such an important part of the film . i hope that featuring this traditional japanese instrument in an american film will introduce the wonderful world of shamisen to a larger audience .\nunfortunately , nagasaki can do little with this material . shikoku is never really particularly convincing as a horror , and , unable to capitalise on some earlier flesh - crawling moments , falls apart way before reaching its rather underwhelming showdown between makoto sato ' s renegade buddhist priest and the forces from the darkside . its greatest asset is perhaps the locale of shikoku itself , shot in bleached out , hazy hues and long twilight shadows in the external scenes , and drenched out in the interiors by the shafts of natural sunlight that stream through the windows of hinako ' s deserted property . whilst not the worst offering from the late 90s horror cycle by any means , at the end of the day it ' s perhaps only shikoku ' s backwater setting that really stands out .\nfrom the viewpoint of improving the handling properties , the thickness of the resin composition layer is preferably in the range of from 5 to 500 \u03bcm , more preferably in the range of from 10 to 200 \u03bcm further preferably in the range of from 15 to 150 \u03bcm , still further preferably in the range of from 20 to 100 \u03bcm . the resin composition layer may be protected by a protective film . protection by the protective film can prevent a surface of the resin composition layer from suffering adhesion of contaminants or the like or from being scratched . the protective film is removed before lamination of the release film . as a material for the protective film , the same material as that for the support can be used . with respect to the thickness of the protective film , there is no particular limitation , but the thickness is preferably in the range of from 1 to 40 \u03bcm .\nthis japanese film by director shunichi nagasaki is one of the few post - ringu horrors that hasn ' t yet been remade and repackaged in america .\n. . . muir covers everything from film to television to books to retro toys with no - holds - barred affection . . .\n(\nin lamination of the release film having a support and having a protective film , the protective film is removed , and then the resultant release film having a support is pressed against a substrate while heating and applying a pressure . conditions for the lamination are preferably such that the release film having a support and a substrate are preheated if necessary , the pressure for pressing is preferably from 1 to 11 kgf / cm 2 , the temperature for pressing is preferably from 70 to 140\u00b0 c . , the time for pressing is preferably from 15 seconds to 3 minutes , and lamination is performed under a reduced pressure at a pneumatic pressure of 20 mmhg or less . the lamination method may be of either a batch - wise manner or a continuous manner using a roll .\nhard times followed him and his wife after they both left shochiku in protest at the company\u2019s high - handed treatment of his film . they founded their own production company , sozosha . even during a shoot the money might run out , as it did when they were in shikoku making \u201cboy . \u201d koyama had to approach local shops and businesses to make appearances in ads for them , plowing the fees into the production .\ni adored this film , and the two things that captured my heart the most were the animation and the music . looking first at the animation , director and lead animator for laika entertainment travis knight describes kubo as \u201ca stop motion samurai film\u201d . i couldn\u2019t even comprehend some of the animation or imagine how it had been created , but at the end of the film in the credits there was a fantastic little clip showing some of the animators at work . the clip below is a great insight into how the film was made and how the animators captured this very individual japanese style and made such a beautiful film . everything in the movie looks like it is made out of washi ( japanese paper ) or wood , and some of the effects are absolutely mind - blowing .\n\u201con a cloudless afternoon in the peaceful shikoku city tokushima , twelve - year - old chizuru akitani , japanese - american daughter of acclaimed violinist and living national treasure hiro akitani , walked into the staff room at motomachi elementary , covered with blood and clutching a letter opener . \u201d\n\u201ca director\u2019s joy , \u201d he said , \u201ccomes from creating a new production method for a film and from encountering people different from those you\u2019ve known before . \u201d\na release film can be produced from the resin composition for use in a release film of the present invention by applying the resin composition in the form of a resin varnish to a substrate to form a layer of the resin composition . further , the release film preliminarily formed on a support can be laminated onto a substrate . the release film of the present invention can be laminated onto various types of substrates and peeled off by a heating treatment for releasing . examples of substrates mainly include substrates , such as a glass epoxy substrate , a metal substrate , a polyester substrate , a polyimide substrate , a bt resin substrate , and a thermosetting polyphenylene ether substrate .\n# 94 : theatrical release of the documentary film sosei -

political tenor , revealing the insidious damage that wartime errors and trauma have caused japan\u2019s collective psyche . however , even as the final episode revisits characters we met earlier , it actually takes the film in a new and distractingly open -

night showing at the tropic theater in leesburg .\nin some respects it\u2019s easy to see why honky tonk freeway was such a costly flop at the box office in 1981 . in the times of austerity we currently enjoy , the movie would certainly resonate more with audiences now than in the relatively affluent times in which it was birthed . we don\u2019t want to give honky tonk freeway too much credit though . it\u2019s hardly withering satire , and far more could , and perhaps should have been made of the quickly - dropped subplot of corrupt officials ( the same sort of behaviour was also ruining british towns and cities at the time ) : but its feel - good goofiness and larger than life characters may well sucker you in . honky tonk freeway is nowhere near as bad as its reputation suggests , and some parts of it are actually rather good . it\u2019s also probably the only movie in which you can see william devane waterskiing from the back of an elephant : and that\u2019s worth anybody\u2019s time and money .\nemi , which must have been well aware of the movie\u2019s impending death , immediately sold the rights for video distribution , and honky tonk freeway closed after one week in theaters , banished to the video purgatory . emi took a $ 11 -

75 was open for business ( it has even been expanded since then ) . this flick didn\u2019t even get the chance at a cult following over the years like le mans or the wraith , and that\u2019s a bit of a shame . in the modern era where movies do their best to digitally make everything look real , this film was one of the last to be made with real fire and guts . but for those of us in the know , there is a lasting legacy to the honky tonk freeway .\n\u201cyou really don\u2019t know , because i have been involved in movies that you probably haven\u2019t even heard of that were huge , \u201d says billingsley , a new york native whose crystal blue eyes still shine with a childlike glow , even from behind a decidedly more mature countenance . \u201chonky tonk freeway , at the time , it cost $ 26 million dollars , which was like the t3 of its day , and it didn\u2019t really make any money . paternity was with burt reynolds , who was the number one box office draw , and it bombed ; you feel this hype and this energy and this confidence on the set , [ like ] \u2018wow this is going to rock ! \u2019 and \u2018we\u2019re great ! \u2019 and then , it doesn\u2019t open . \u201d\nsee if you ' ve heard this before : ' ' honky tonk freeway , ' ' which opens today at the ziegfeld theater , presents a bunch of oddballs who have nothing in common except the fact that , by the end of the movie , they will all bump into one another somewhere in dixie . the run - in will occur when the town of ticlaw , fla . , finally makes its communal wish come true . ticlaw sits beside a new interstate without an exit to call its own , and no amount of bribe money in kentucky fried chicken boxes seems to be remedying theproblem . therefore , the citizens of ticlaw take the matter into their own hands . there ' s nothing they won ' t do to get that exit built .\nticlaw , a small town in florida , has only one attraction : a safari park . the government constructs a freeway that passes near ticlaw , but decides not to put an exit into the town . the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthroughout his long career , roberts appeared in over 30 feature films , including : in a lonely place ( 1950 ) ; the killers ( 1964 ) written by gene l . coon and featuring ronald reagan in his last film role ; the chase ( 1966 ) with steve ihnat ; westworld ( 1973 ) with majel barrett , charles seel , alan oppenheimer , kenneth washington and paul sorensen ; demon seed ( 1977 ) , with fritz weaver , gerrit graham , michael dorn and felix silla ; and john schlesinger ' s honky tonk freeway ( 1981 ) , which featured teri garr , jerry hardin and jeffrey combs . he also appeared in the mini -

ramp exit to its safari park . so to ensure visitors and not be bypassed , the town was painted pink , free gas was offered as a lure , and the town featured a water - skiing elephant named bubbles and a wild charging rhino .\nin this involved send - up of two american icons - - the automobile and the tourist trap - - the tiny florida town of ticlaw strives desperately for success after it has been denied the most essential of all tourist amenities - - a freeway exit . the insane , and mostly successful , schemes of the mayor ( william devane ) and other distinctly unbalanced citizens interrupt , often hilariously , the lives of various eccentric travellers forced into a place they never intended to be . critics disagree violently on whether this is a neglected classic or sophomoric nonsense . the winning record of director ( john schlesinger ) ( midnight cowboy , marathon man , cold comfort farm , etc . , ) and first - class performances by william devane , beau bridges , beverly d ' angelo , hume cronyn , jessicatandy and a plethora of great character actors - - not to mention the water - skiing elephant and the wild rhino - - argue that it ' s worth a look .\nwhen i was a kid i loved this film , i remember the theme song was brilliant , and i love the mayor who was played by william devane . i watched it again not so long ago and still has the same charm , plus it has a great car pile up . there is a small town , who ' s main attraction is a skiing elephant called bubbles , but when the highway build a freeway which then threatens the lively hood of the towns business , but with a promise a off ramp , well cash under the table , this never happens , so this gives the local folks no choice but to take matter into there own hands . this is a great film to watch on a lazy sunday afternoon . the sad thing about this film was , it was a major flop at the box -

life daughter melanie griffith ) - and other than that , just a minimal plot , with the many leopards , lions , tigers , etc . filling out the cast .\nthis family adventure film was made over a period of eleven years , and during filming caused director / star noel marshall , hedren , cinematographer jan de bont and melanie griffith to all be injured or mauled by a lion . melanie ' s injury required 50 facial stitches and plastic surgery to repair . other problems on the set ( behind the scenes ) besides the maimings included a flood , a fire , foreclosure , and a feline virus that decimated the wild animal cast . the film was screened for only one week .\nin 1972 , hedren founded and became president of the roar foundation and shambala preserve , an 80 - acre wildlife habitat 40 miles northeast of los angeles ( in acton , ca located at the edge of the mojave desert between the antelope valley and the santa clarita valley ) , to provide sanctuary for dozens of exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment and neglect . in early december of 2007 when one of the bengal tigers mauled a preserve ' s caretaker , the whole issue of the danger of captive animals was again raised -

' ' when his wife burns the story in a frying pan , he leaves her and heads south . a blond dentist and his wife ( howard hesseman and teri garr ) are traveling with their two awful children through monument valley in a recreational vehicle with such elaborate insides that nobody bothers to look out the window . the voluptuous owner of a pink edsel ( beverly d ' angelo ) is leaving paducah , ky . , because she has slept with 300 different men there . she says it wasn ' t easy .\nmr . schlesinger can ' t possibly keep all these characters , or a dozen others of equal importance to edward clinton ' s lively screenplay , in focus . so the movie ' s structure is a mess . the story begins and ends in ticlaw , but the film goes for long stretches without mentioning the town , and characters have a way of popping up just as they are about to be forgotten . this movie didn ' t need a director ; it needed a juggler . however , mr . schlesinger handles some of the individual scenes well , and he never creates much hope that the whole film will hang together anyhow . whatever value the movie has is in its players and its gags , not in any continuity .\nthe film is so uneven that it incorporates both a strain of bawdy humor ( which is markedly unfunny ) and some touches reminiscent of late 1950 ' s to early 60 ' s disney . ( the people of ticlaw sometimes seem on the verge of inventing flubber . ) the cast is good , but there ' s no one here who can do much to hold the movie together . hume cronyn and jessica tandy are on hand as an advertising man and his alcoholic wife , who declares proudly that her husband invented bad breath . geraldine page and deborah rush play a mother superior and a novice who won ' t stay a novice for long . and paul jabara gives the most obvious nod to ' ' nashville , ' ' as a songwriter whose music is awful .

skiing elephant belly flopped at the box office , but today it deserves more than a footnote in history \u2013 especially in the car community .\na ford fan would be in heaven with all the blue oval classics seen in the film like an edsel ranger , a lincoln continental town coupe , and even a rare 1949 mercury two - door station wagon . but it was a gmc that really makes the whole film memorable ( more on that in a moment ) .\nthe movie had all the right elements . it was filled with known actors like beau bridges , beverly d\u2019angelo , teri garr , hume cronyn , and jessica tandy . there were rising stars like daniel stern and peter billingsley , before he played ralphie in a christmas story . it was even directed by john schlesinger \u2013 the same man who made midnight cowboy and marathon man .\nso , why is it worth your attention ? because the last 20 minutes are filled with two of the most daring events put on film .\nfirst , in the movie , the people of ticlaw decide they do not want to be bypassed . so they blow - up the overpass in a spectacular midnight explosion to make sure people have to stop in their town .\n\u201cthere was only one take \u2013 one and done , \u201d recalls marlena gore . the movie had one of the largest budgets for a comedy at the time , but they still were only willing to blow up the bridge once . gore witnessed this nighttime explosion when she was eleven years old . the filming was a popular event that brought in many locals as extras , including her future husband .\nwhile gore doesn\u2019t appear on film , it might have had an interesting impact on her life . she is currently the project manager for a revolutionary - style \u201cdiverging diamond\u201d interchange that is being constructed just a few miles up i - 75 from where the filming took place . it\u2019s a little too sappy to suggest that this movie fully inspired gore to better her hometown interstate , but it is kismet that someone who witnessed the destruction is making that same corridor a bit better today .\njeffries passed away in 2013 , but according to his son kevin , \u201che did hundreds of stunts during his career in motion pictures , but clearly the i - 75 jump in florida was the most spectacular . \u201d\nthe movie concludes with a gmc c6500 boxtruck soaring over the entire missing roadway span , and jeffries was driving . just like the exploding bridge , there was only one take , but for a very different reason . \u201cafter flying over the overpass , the stunt truck landed so hard that it broke his back , requiring him to grab his leg with his hand so that he could push down and apply the brakes to stop the truck , \u201d recalls kevin jeffries .\nin a tale that could only come from a gritty stuntman who was also a master hot rod fabricator , jeffries was not pleased with the level of care at the local hospital . so he built a custom aluminum cast for his torso and went back to work . for those who love the man\u2019s automotive creations , but don\u2019t know this side of the story , tom cotter\u2019s book , dean jeffries \u2013 50 fabulous years in hot rods , racing & film , goes into great detail . it\u2019s currently out of print ( i . e . expensive ) , but worth it to read the whole tale .\njeffries was particularly proud of this feat and the multi - car pileup that it created on film \u2013 it feels reminiscent of his earlier work on the blues brothers . according to kevin , \u201cjumping the four - ton truck across the missing overpass was something my father would often discuss with friends and admirers . \u201d\njust drive down i - 75 south past sarasota . about a mile beyond the fruitville road exit is an overpass that hundreds of tourists and commuters unwittingly drive over this every day . that little bridge is a gateway to true hollywood history , and the bump you feel at the end might have been the one that broke dean jeffries\u2019 back .\nnice write - up on a forgotten piece of cinema history . it may yet find a cult following !\ni was living in orlando at the time this was made , and remember some scenes being shot late at night on what we used to call the east - west expressway , which i used daily in my commute . probably second unit stuff . now i live in sarasota , and drive on this section of i - 75 frequently . can\u2019t seem to escape this movie !\ni remember them filming here . i was attending the local junior college , and some of the guys in the theater department got work as crew on the filming . we were all excited , until the actual movie debut . as mentioned , not a good movie except for the final 20 minutes or so . the plot , if there really was one , was pained at best . however , there are a couple of items for possible corrections , albeit minor . fruitville is not really so much as separate community , but more of a rural neighborhood of sarasota . leave it to a miami guy to get that part wrong ( note : just a joke . florida cities tend to be pretty antagonistic towards each other . ) the fruitville road goes east to west , with i - 75 and farms east and downtown sarasota and the gulf to the far west . i had no idea that ms . gore is the project manager of the diverging diamond being built one exit north of this location , but kismet certainly seems to have a hand in this .\ni\u2019m impressed by jeffries\u2019 back brace idea . a dozen years ago i fell off my roof and landed on my butt , causing radiating stress cracks up my back \u2013 12 of them . i also broke a leg and had a concussion . after fusion surgery , i was fitted with a very similar back brace that i wore while my skeleton healed . it was made of molded plastic , and monstrously uncomfortable , but the design was very similar to jeffries\u2019 . he should have patented that thing . my surgeon and hospital care were both terrific . other than a slightly stiff back , i have no side effects . in fact , within three months of surgery , i was riding my motorcycle again . i hope i live as long as he did ."]}

it\u2019s an anti - war film in that it is unlike most war films . there\u2019s little prelude , no set up of the characters , no exposition - laden episodes in quiet , strategic war rooms . director christopher nolan just jumps into the fight with mostly silent characters . some find this refreshing , but i find it inhospitable . the problem is that there\u2019s such little characterization that there\u2019s even less emotion , beyond fear . only a few touch points in the entire film evoke an emotional response , and this is not a good quality in a war film , at least for me . it\u2019s antiseptic .\n\u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped\u201d ends indecisively . last year mr . trump said he would not construct the promised hotel unless plans were scrapped to build an offshore wind farm that he said would destroy the ocean view . so far both sides of this david and goliath battle are still standing .\nif you recently returned to the u . s . after a year - long peace corps stint in a remote village with no electricity or mail service , then trumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time will serve as a reasonable primer on the nightmare you missed .\ntrumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time hails from directors ted bourne , mary robertson and banks tarver , who assembled footage that was originally shot for the showtime docu - series the circus , but ended up being used for a feature length documentary film about the 2016 election . specifically , this documentary focuses on how donald trump won by way of a chronicle of his campaign , from the primaries through the debates up until he was elected as the 45th president of the united states of america .\ntrumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time ( available in australia on stan from february 5 ) arrives with the promise of unprecedented access and never - before - seen footage , gleaned from thousands of hours shot for a weekly tv series that aired in america called the circus .\n\u201ctrumped\u201d came about as a collection of footage from showtime\u2019s \u201c the circus , \u201d a show about the political process , featuring john heilemann , mark halperin and mark mckinnon . directors ted bourne , mary robertson and banks tarver went through the thousands of hours of footage from that show to form it into a documentary focused on trump\u2019s campaign . the problem is that there\u2019s a lot of story to tell here , and \u201ctrumped\u201d tries to hit all of the major points . so , we get his announcement , his battles with each of the gop candidates , each of his controversies , the debates , and his inevitable win\u2014all in straightforward , then - this - happened fashion . when the people behind the show offer insight into how trump is handling issues or how the media is handling him , \u201ctrumped\u201d comes to life . but that\u2019s simply not often enough to recommend it .\ni\u2019m not usually one for documentary films ( especially when it involves spending an hour and a half with a character as cartoonishly nefarious as trump ) but from what i\u2019ve seen of \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped\u201d ( the most recent trailer is embedded below ) , this self - financed film looks gripping , beautiful , and worthy of all the accolades that it has received . plus , one of my favorite musicians , j\u00f3nsi frontman of icelandic rock band sigur r\u00f3s , did the music . even perez hilton has something to say about the film : \u201cconsidering how controversial donald trump is right now , we wouldn ' t be surprised to see this in theaters at all ! ( wouldn ' t you ) go see a documentary that shows the world how donald really does business ? \u201d\nawardsline : it seems as if everyone who worked on this film , and everyone who has seen it\u2014both on tv and as a play\u2014has such a strong connection to the material . how do you forge ahead after an experience like this ?\nthe film captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous , jet setting , media savvy \u2013 and sometimes clueless - trump and a deeply rooted scottish community . despite several months of protesting and uprising by neighboring residents , trump is hell - bent on opening his newest golf course , trump international golf links , in aberdeenshire , scotland . what begins as an often - amusing clash of world - views grows increasingly bitter and disturbing . funny , inspiring and heartbreaking in turns , you\u2019ve been trumped is an environmental parable for our celebrity driven times .\ni can ' t think of the last film i watched that made me so angry - it was probably i , daniel blake back in 2016 . this film gives further evidence that trump is a pathological liar and egotistical megalomaniac , as if we needed any more . this is a necessary watch in today ' s world where the man himself ludicrously sits in the white house and possesses political power that , in my own opinion , nobody should possess in the first place .\naround the 77 - minute mark , the film appears to reach its logical conclusion , and then proceeds to hit the audience with another satisfying 10 minutes of twists . the real delight comes in watching baye play mouse to devos ' cat .\nbut there many departures from fact , likely taken from earlier biographies including the highly inaccurate study by august c . buell , published in 1900 . jones did not attempt to operate the virginia farm of his deceased brother , as he does in the film . the scandal of his dismissal over a trumped up sex crime is ignored . but other moments , shots of tall ships under sail , for example , are stirring and authentic . the soundtrack , patriotic , saccharine and melodramatic is less easy to forgive today . compressing history always leads to inaccuracies .\nwith documentary filmmaking in the midst of such a renaissance , we\u2019ve grown used to films that change the way we see our past , and uncover stories of injustice and outrage . that kind of thoughtful exploration and illumination is desperately needed , but trumped is simply too rushed \u2014 and too disinterested in actually stirring the pot \u2014 to add anything to the conversation . and by not explaining the forces behind trump\u2019s rise \u2014 the socio - political trends , the recent behavior of the parties , the interference and hacking from foreign governments \u2014 the film does something even more nefarious : it gives off the impression that it was just some unknowable , trump - ian magic that led to the election results . pair that with the full title \u2014 trumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time \u2014 and the movie starts to feel more like reality tv mythmaking than journalism .\nin one of trumped\u2019s most memorable moments , co - presenter john heilemann questions the then - presidential candidate about why the clintons attended his wedding to melania in 2005 . the president justifies it as follows : \u201cit\u2019s not personal , it\u2019s just business . \u201d to which heilemann responds : \u201cthat\u2019s a mafia saying . \u201d\ntrumped draws \u2013 or at least rehashes \u2013 some compelling passing observations , many of which could constitute entire feature - length films . there is reasonable consideration given to why the foot - in - mouth former reality tv star was an appealing choice to voters , though you can tell these observations were drawn retrospectively .\nthe film\u2019s other presenter / interviewer is fellow journalist mark halperin . the pair of politics addicts , a duo since 2008 , have co - written two best - selling postmortems about obama\u2019s election campaigns and co - hosted a political analysis television program .\nbut the scariest insight offered by \u201ctrumped\u201d is to demolish a notion that became a liberal shibboleth : that trump didn\u2019t really want to be president . the movie presents clips from him in 1980 and 1987 that indicate otherwise . but more than that , as you observe him up close on that plane and backstage at several rallies , you taste the ferocity of his hunger . the movie suggests that he was always in this for real . but was it a dark desire for power and adoration , or did he actually think he was going to be helping people ? in \u201ctrumped , \u201d there\u2019s no indication that he sees a difference .\n\u201ctrumped\u201d will premiere on jan . 27 and screen again the next day at sundance . the festival opens jan . 19 , the day before donald trump\u2019s presidential inauguration , and runs through jan . 29 with 120 feature -

glasgow herald\nwhile some would prefer that entertainment and politics stay separated , we live in a world where they frequently intersect . this is even more true when it comes to looking at the genre of documentary films , and a new one that just premiered at the 2017 sundance film festival this past week is certainly going to stir up some heated discussions .\ndonald trump , the archvillain of anthony baxter\u2019s documentary polemic , \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped , \u201d is a man many people love to hate . in this unabashedly hostile portrait of a billionaire developer in action as he embarks on a grandiose new project in scotland , mr . trump comes across as an insensitive , lying bully who will do whatever it takes to realize his dream of creating what he promises will be the world\u2019s greatest golf resort .\nevery day , the news cycle briefs us on trump\u2019s latest blustering . americans are still mentally preparing for the deluge four more years will bring . however , as \u201ctrumped\u201d reveals in its behind -

shocked soldier , why he is risking death to press on to dunkirk . his response is one for the ages . \u201cmen my age dictate this war . why should we be allowed to send our children into it ? \u201d enough said .\nif you\u2019re in the camp that staunchly opposes donald trump for president , it\u2019s easy to watch a minor documentary like \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped too\u201d and think of it in the \u201cevery little bit helps\u201d category . that said , a nonfiction filmmaker who wants his piece of the trump phenomenon now faces a major hurdle . the candidacy of donald trump \u2014 the belligerent bluster ! the cracked policy statements ! the sexual accusations ! \u2014 has not exactly been an underexposed story over the last eight months . if you\u2019re going to ask an audience to sit through 80 more minutes of trump , you have to offer something new . anthony baxter , the director of \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped too , \u201d does ( sort of ) : he serves up a situation , in scotland , that would work just fine as a new york times feature that took three - and - a - half minutes to read . the movie makes a good point , then makes it over and over again .\nthe so - called\ntrue\nstory of john paul jones appeared in film in 1959 as american battleships were poised to enter foreign waters during the cold war . just as president teddy roosevelt dug up jones ' body in 1905 to promote his great white fleet , the\nfather of the american navy\nwas used once again as a symbol of the highest american ideals .\nthe movie received lackluster reviews , but it does offer a surprisingly accurate summary of jones ' life . it has also become , in the last half century , the only full length feature film to depict the captain\u2019s life and exploits . stack plays jones as a revolutionary war elliot ness , nearly untouchable , unshakable in battle , and justifiably angry at a corrupt and ungrateful world .\nif hillary clinton had won the election ( sorry , i didn\u2019t mean to depress you ) , \u201c trumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time \u201d would never have played at sundance , because it wouldn\u2019t have existed . the movie , which was pieced together in record time , is a sharp , fun , disquieting , and fleetly edited chronicle of the entire campaign year , inside and outside the media bubble , with the focus held obsessively on donald trump \u2019s rise .\nnot really . claims that trumped deliver the goods vis - \u00e0 - vis genuine insider material are , however , fair dinkum . there is nothing sizzling or revelatory in store ( to be fair , trump can surely \u2013 hopefully \u2013 no longer shock us ) . but there\u2019s quite a bit of the now - president talking mano - a - mano to either heilemann or halperin , sometimes away from the rest of the media scrum , and a lot of behind the scenes footage ."]}

old eye - for - an - eye riffs suddenly made to seem fresh and new by a film - maker crucially more interested in exploring what happens next than simply rehashing what has gone before .\nthe question of julien\u2019s guilt teasingly winds through this movie , which doesn\u2019t so much ask who done it and why , but what happened . there is at least one crime in \u201cthe blue room , \u201d and that initial drop of bedroom blood grows into a metaphoric cascade , but far more pulse quickening is how mr . amalric , following simenon\u2019s ingenious narrative lead , puts together the story\u2019s fragmented pieces . julien , you soon discover , has been arrested and is being interrogated about a death . the initial glimpses of him and esther making love in the blue room turn out to be flashbacks , much like illustrated memories , that he has summoned up during his different statements at different times and in different spaces to the police , a shrink ( blutch ) and a judge ( laurent poitrenaux ) .\nwhen margaret gaffney asks dwight if he ' s in a rush , the stove clock behind her reads 8 : 26 . two shots later it reads 8 : 32 despite the fact that almost no time has passed within the film .\nthe film tells the adventures of friends jo\u00e3o grilo , a poor man a liar , and chic\u00f3 , the most cowardly of men . both struggle for daily bread in the northeast of brazil and crossing for . . . see full summary \u00bb\nmichael parks , who plays preacher , was in the television movie murder at the world series ( 1977 ) . one of the editors for that film , was named john link , mel gibson ' s character ' s name in this movie .\npresumably the aim is to have the circus function as a microcosm of society , and indeed major subjects are negotiated , among them love , sexuality , marriage , aging and death . but the angle of focus is so wide that very little new light is shed on any of them . blue blood is full of small moments of symbolism which don\u2019t add up to much , unless we\u2019re looking at a metaphor for a society struggling to emerge from the consequences of the bad decisions taken by its elders : and if that is indeed what it\u2019s all about , then it doesn\u2019t deliver anything particularly revealing .\nbased on a true story ,\nbingo\nis a film about the man behind the mask . augusto is an actor hungry for a place in the spotlight , following the footsteps of his mother , a stage artist in the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthere\u2019s a shot at the start of \u201cthe blue room , \u201d an elegant psychological freak -

slicked limbs . with its covers thrown back , the large bed that dominates the room seems less empty than ravaged . it looks like a stage after the final performance . it also looks like the scene of a crime .\naaa ( : i ruddy love this film ( : artfully shot & emotions are portrayed excellently personally i would have liked to have seen more of fred ( ; and less of the annoying , self -

bitten pontiac ( the\nblue ruin\nof the title ) provide sharp thumbnail sketches of a passive itinerant lifestyle , while a haunting tableau of dwight shut out of a thriving fun park vividly depicts his isolation from the joyfully illuminated throng of carefree delaware society .\nin a few short minutes , mr . amalric has introduced the kind of cinematic call and response \u2014 one in which a movie\u2019s sights and sounds comment on each other \u2014 that establishes that you\u2019re in the grip of a real director . it\u2019s exciting , although mr . amalric tends to move too fast for you to linger appreciatively over his filmmaking . the movie unfolds with the same terrific velocity as the simenon novel , a short , savage work also titled \u201cthe blue room . \u201d in the opening sequence , for instance , there\u2019s a shot of julien looking at esther while framed in a mirror , his large eyes shifting when she asks if he loves her . he looks remarkably guilty . not long after , the setting has moved from the blue room to somewhere rather less inviting , and the police are grilling julien about his affair .\ndirected by mathieu amalric ; written by mr . amalric and st\u00e9phanie cl\u00e9au , based on the book by georges simenon ; director of photography , christophe beaucarne ; edited by fran\u00e7ois g\u00e9digier ; music by gr\u00e9goire hetzel ; production design by christophe offret ; costumes by doroth\u00e9e guiraud ; produced by paulo branco ; released by sundance selects . in french , with english subtitles . running time : 1 hour 16 minutes . this film is not rated .\nthe film is thus best enjoyed for its full creation of an isolated , remote and offbeat world , a world , however , in which it\u2019s hard to engage emotionally because of the broad brushstroke characterization . most of the dramatic burden falls on the shoulders of de oliveira , who is sensitive , muscular and dull , and abras , straddled between marriage and sex as raquel : but there\u2019s no sense of anything that may have happened between the central duo which would merit all this dramatic fuss .\nwriter / director jeremy saulnier understands the viewer should sympathize with the\nhero\nin order for us to be invested in his plight . you can appreciate dwight ' s emotionally damaged vagabond . i ' m not so sure we should be rooting for him , but we do . he has suffered deeply . now he is tormented by deep sorrow and so he has our sympathy . yet his quest is made more captivating in the way it ' s told , giving the audience pieces to make us root for the protagonist without really knowing everything . even by the end , we never really know the complete story , just enough to understand what ' s happening in the moment . bursts of violence are used . blue ruin occasionally falls victim to excess . more restraint in the bloodshed department would ' ve been appreciated . an extended scene where macon digs an arrow out of his leg is gratuitous in its desire to shock . storytelling is a craft . blue ruin does indeed have an artistic way of telling an uncomplicated tale . it doesn ' t revolutionize the genre . it ' s a simple saga , artfully told . urltoken\nmr . amalric , who directed this dark , delectable , shivery tale , adapting it from the georges simenon novel , sets its uneasy , dank mood with energetic economy . the opening credits have scarcely ended before he\u2019s begun arranging his people and parts , mixing shots of the hotel with those of a woman\u2019s damp neck circled with pearls and her shoulder beaded with sweat . a chorus of gasps and moans accompanies the suggestive swells of the lushly orchestrated music and then gives way to bursts of dialogue . \u201cdid i hurt you ? \u201d the woman asks off camera . \u201cno , \u201d a man answers , their exchange punctuated \u2014 and seemingly contradicted \u2014 by a drop of blood blooming indelicately on a white sheet .\nblue bloods follows the lives of the nypd ' s first family of law enforcement : the reagans . frank , the police comissioner and son of former pc henry reagan , must balance his duties of running the largest police force in the world and being his kids ' boss . his daughter erin is an assistant district attorney , son danny is a senior detective and fellow marine veteran , and new harvard law grad turned cop , jamie all swirl through this family drama and passionately defend their city from harm . the irish - american family is deeply rooted in their patriotism , passion , and love of family .\nwhen dwight ' s sister , who has endeavoured to move on from family tragedy , calls her brother\nweak\n, his response is more accepting than self - justifying . while most death wish - influenced narratives concede only emotional detachment or hollowness on the part of their damaged leads , blue ruin is happy to add terror and cowardice as defining traits , along with a palpable sense of alarm at the physical results of violence (\nthe rest of his head is . . . over there\n) , which dances around the edge of graveside humour without ever falling into the gaping chasm of careless , callous comedy .\nferreira breaks the film up into chapters \u2014 \u201cinsomnia , \u201d \u201canguish , \u201d etc . \u2014 a device that allows him to neatly emphasize a particular stage in zolah\u2019s trajectory . the major themes , however , run throughout , and there\u2019s a stated parallel between zolah and birds ( who either dive for their food or scrounge ) , which strives for poetry but can\u2019t quite bring it all together in a meaningfully perceptive manner . as in the non - prolific director\u2019s best - known pic , \u201cdry movie , \u201d the lack of script cohesion means that mood is better evoked than character .\nthe french actor and director guillaume canet made his international arthouse name with the tricksy 2006 thriller\ntell no one ,\nwhich he followed with the less tricksy and more indulgent where - am - i - and - my - generation - now drama\nlittle white lies .\nthis left the question of where he would go with his debut english - language feature an open one . whether it was a tantalizingly open one would depend on how crazy you were about the prior films . this critic was only mildly impressed . but i am slightly surprised that with\nblood ties ,\ncanet accomplishes something like a full - on homage to his american filmmaking contemporary james gray . this achievement is either made more strange or entirely explained by the fact that gray himself co - wrote the script with canet .\nthe supporting performances are strong too , from the believable despair of amy hargreaves ' s sam , who finds her life destroyed anew by her brother ' s fatally reduced worldview , to the troubled but unwavering support of devin ratray ' s gun - toting old school buddy , a character who could be played for grim laughs , but remains just on the right side of deadpan . and although the rest of the film has a hard time living up to the promise of that audacious opening act , it never descends into either affectless satire or unwarranted carnage , as victim turns to killer and family turns upon family with quasi - biblical results .\nas \u201cthe blue room\u201d continues , and julien\u2019s tribulations do , too , his remembrances flicker on and off the screen like a guttering flame , illuminating some events and obscuring others . ( in moments , julien\u2019s panicked eyes and rabbity physicality evoke roman polanski , another connoisseur of strange and ominous rooms . ) mr . amalric\u2019s direction remains graceful through the story\u2019s violent turns , its mood changes and tone shifts . notably , he also warms up simenon\u2019s characters , in particular julien , who on the page tends to register as a plot contrivance . on screen , julien is many things \u2014 morally weak , terribly compromised , sometimes violent , often pathetic \u2014 but he\u2019s never less than human . and while his humanity makes him more recognizable it\u2019s also what makes him truly tragic .\ntracking the family over the course of a year ,\nblood ties\naspires to a novelistic scope and level of detail , and most of the cast do a great job inhabiting their characters ( kunis has a bit of trouble on the accent front ; so does owen , although the latter compensates by adding some guttural thickness to his vocal timbre , and also not having a whole lot of dialogue ) . but while canet ' s direction can ' t be said to be all over the place , the movie never settles into the groove it so dearly aspires to . the twists and turns of the plot are plentiful , and eventually my\nokay , i ' ll roll with this\nattitude , when presented with yet another implausibility , gave way to\nyou ' ve got to be kidding me .\nalso , the movie ' s song -

and - white prologue ( the rest is in color ) , accompanied by dvorak , sees a ship sailing to a headland and a group of men erecting a tent for the netuno circus . the location is brazil\u2019s stunning isla fernando de noronha , off the coast of pernambuco state \u2014 the birthplace of zolah ( daniel de oliveira ) , the circus\u2019 \u201ccannon man . \u201d unabashedly priapic \u2014 he gets a handjob from g . f . teorema ( laura ramos ) before sitting astride the phallic cannon he\u2019s shot out of every night \u2014 zolah is a local celebrity returned home , to the delight of his mother , rosa ( sandra coverloni ) , and sister , raquel ( carolina abras ) , engaged to cangulo ( braga ) .\nthe director shifts between the circus , using ringside acts as interstitials , and zolah\u2019s hesitant reintegration in the family . one of the problems , however , is that the circus numbers aren\u2019t especially impressive , including zolah\u2019s rather limp cannon shot , notwithstanding the rapturous applause he receives . leading the troupe as ringmaster is kaleb ( paulo cesar pereio ) , a magician enamored with marlon brando\u2019s character from \u201cthe wild one . \u201d he\u2019s having a relationship with inox ( milhem cortaz ) , the strongman , but suddenly disappears one night with no explanation .\nkaleb\u2019s literal vanishing act is just the beginning of the strange behavior that starts to infect the circus members : even zolah loses his potency the longer they remain on the island . part of the reason is his feelings for raquel , whose job as a diving instructor stands in pointed contrast to zolah\u2019s fear of diving . it becomes increasingly apparent that he\u2019s trying to resist his incestuous attraction to his sister , which manifested itself when they were children , which is why rosa sent him off the island at an early age .\nnevertheless , visual pleasures abound . oliveira ( \u201ccazuza\u201d ) has never looked better ( there\u2019s a lot of him to be seen ) , and he continues to prove he\u2019s more than just an athletic body . best of all is pinheiro\u2019s glorious lensing of the island\u2019s natural beauties , beginning with the attractive monochrome opening , which teasingly promises a level of artistry that doesn\u2019t return . underwater sequences are a highlight .\nproduction : ( brazil ) an imovision release of a drama filmes , beluga , dot , telecine production . produced by renato ciasca , beto brant , lirio ferreira . coproducers , oliver kwon , filip jan rymsza , frederico porto . executive producers , renato ciasca , monica lapa , julia bock , fred lasmar , tuca noronha .\ncrew : directed by lirio ferreira . screenplay , ferreira , fellipe barbosa , sergio oliveira . camera ( b & w / color ) , mauro pinheiro jr . ; editors , mair tavares , tina saphira ; music , pupillo ; production designer , juliana carapeba ; costume designer , juliana prysthon ; sound , valeria ferro ; assistant director , alice gomez .\nwith : daniel de oliveira , carolina abras , sandra coverloni , romulo braga , matheus nachtergaele , milhem cortaz , laura ramos , livia falcao , serv\u00edlio de holanda , glicerio rosario , armando badaioff , ruy guerra , paulo cesar pereio , brenda ligia , stefano catarinelli , rosimeire dos santos , christiane tricerri .\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\nthe cast is high - profile . zolah ( daniel de oliveira ) is the human cannonball , a figure who metaphorically enough oozes a sexuality which he explores with teorema ( cuban actress laura ramos ) . the ringmaster , marlon brando fan kaleb ( vet paulo cesar pereio ) , is a fading illusionist who converses existentially on the beach with local fisherman mumbebo ( the great brazilian director ruy guerra , squeezed in : touchingly it was fifty years ago this year that pereiro made his debut in guerra\u2019s the rifles ) . other members of the troupe include strongman inox ( milhem cortz ) and gaetan ( matheus nachtergaele ) , who throws knives at teorema .\nzolah is returning to the island for the first time in over twenty years since being handed over to kaleb to be raised in the circus by his mother rosa ( sandra coverloni ) . but unfortunately he falls for diver raquel ( caroline abras ) , now married to the hapless cangulo ( romulo braga , who won the best supporting actor in rio ) : we soon learn that not only were zolah and raquel friends when they were children , but that they ' re biological brother and sister .\ncircuses as seen in movies tend to be brighter , less drab places than their real - life counterparts , and that\u2019s the case here : the characters seem to be at their happiest when performing . but there\u2019s little of note about what they\u2019re doing during these scenes , which drag on too long . such scenes contrast with those too - few moments of extraordinary and memorable artistry , as in a long shot of raquel falling asleep in what appears to be real time , or of kaleb approaching inox and suddenly , apropos of nothing , kissing him passionately .\ncan ' t find a movie or tv show ? login to create it .\ntwenty years ago on a volcanic and paradisiacal island a 10 - year - old boy was separated from his sister . the mother , fearful that an incestuous attraction would develop between the two , sent her son to the mainland with kaleb , the magician from the neptune circus that had visited the island . on the mainland kaleb teaches the boy the arts of the circus and the spirit , and the ex islander becomes zolah , the bullet man . zolah is now back visiting the island with the circus . a parallel between cinema and circus that speaks of the sea , art and love .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\na ship with a circus on board approaches an island in the south atlantic . during the evening performance the ringmaster and illusionist kaleb presents an artiste named zolah who immediately wins over the hearts of everyone in the audience .\nwe use cookies . by using our services , you accept our use of cookies . i agree read more\nregister so you can check out ratings by your friends , family members , and like -

screen special - effects fan . it\u2019s the kind of big movie kiss that sends noir heroes to their knees and maybe their graves and that accompanied by crashing ocean waves and intensifying music , elevates scottie\u2019s passion for madeleine in hitchcock\u2019s \u201cvertigo , \u201d one of mr . amalric\u2019s touchstones . this isn\u2019t only how julien remembers his and esther\u2019s first kiss but also how he has enshrined or more rightly entombed it .\nwith : mathieu amalric ( julien gahyde ) , l\u00e9a drucker ( delphine gahyde ) , st\u00e9phanie cl\u00e9au ( esther despierre ) , laurent poitrenaux ( the judge ) , serge bozon ( the gendarme ) , blutch ( the psychologist ) , mona jaffart ( suzanne gahyde ) and olivier mauvezin ( nicolas despierre ) .\na stripped - down tale of revenge with bloodied hands and a blackened heart , this viscerally intelligent thriller takes a new stab at an old genre with refreshingly distressing results .\nthe first movement of writer - director - cinematographer jeremy saulnier ' s low - budget gem is a masterclass in visual exposition , with economic action and precisely choreographed expression explaining a complex back - story more eloquently than dialogue ever could . we open on an image of disturbed domesticity , the camera crawling through a family home toward a bathroom in which a ginger - bearded man is startled from the tranquillity of the tub by noises outside . the panic on his face suggests fear of a break - in , but dwight ' s hasty exit through a window reveals that he is the interloper , the intruder , the stranger in the house .\nonly when a concerned policewoman reveals that a prisoner has found early release do the roots of dwight ' s still unspecified estrangement (\nit ' s an awful thing he did to them . . .\n) come into focus . subsequent attempts to buy or steal a weapon set this ragged misfit upon an apparently familiar narrative road , made jarringly un familiar by the startling queasiness of the clumsy violence that ensues .\nat the wounded heart of it all is macon blair , a lethal screen weapon employed to piercing effect by saulnier . as dwight , blair offers a stark contrast to the expressionless avenging angels who litter traditional exploitation cinema \u2013 a properly broken man , stumbling his way down a preordained path more in fear than in anger , each escalating act of vengeance / survival taking another chunk out of his fractured character . early scenes depict dwight as a frightened , feral creature , reacting to news of his nemesis ' s release with cowering horror . later , following an encounter with a razor and a stolen wardrobe , he emerges as a fragile nebbish , an uncommunicative antihero alongside whom dustin hoffman ' s nerdy mathematician from straw dogs ( to which this pays passing homage ) seems like a man of muscular action from the outset .\nunderneath it all there ' s gnawing unease about a culture built upon the right to bear arms , and for once the ultimate rejection of firepower as a solution to anything seems honest rather than opportunistic . it all adds up to a gripping , gruelling , thought - provoking work ; lean , mean and bad to the bone .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\ntim , an old race - horse trainer down on his luck , is thumbing his way from san francisco to los angeles when he is given a ride by eileen and sue buchanan , daughters of a wealthy southen . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\ntim , an old race -

yeon ' s inability to come to terms with dong - hyun and sang - hyun ' s disability - or even to accept the fact that she gave birth to what she deems a monstrous abhorrence of nature - plays only a tiny outward part in proceedings it nonetheless deftly underpins the boys ' psyches throughout their entire story ; the majority of the themes of acceptance being dong - hyun and sang - hyun ' s understanding of themselves and acquiescence of each other but their continued efforts to convince themselves that they were approved of , and ultimately loved by , their mother - their need to tell themselves that she had smiled even once when she looked at them - ultimately shapes the very core of who they are . with the introduction of seung - ah to the story , it would have been all too easy to use her character as the personification of society ' s perceptions and prejudices at large but thankfully ' the peach tree ' takes a far more nuanced approach and , in fact , when the outside world eventually becomes aware of dong - hyun and sang - hyun and tries to create the ' freak show ' it was always bound to , seung - ah comes to stand as the reason within the insanity ; the love within the voyeurism ; and the acceptance within a largely uncaring world .\ndisappointing . that ' s the best word to describe this book . i have read sarah addison allen ' s previous books , and i have generally enjoyed them . they ' re basically alice hoffman knock -

like when the ladies ' club meeting goes horribly wrong because everyone tells the person next to her what she really thinks of her , as if\ni sat and read this all in one last night . there is something extremely satisfying in reading a book cover to cover in one sitting , even if the book is mediocre at best . sadly , this description fits the peach keeper : mediocre . i say\nsadly\nbecause as much as i ' m not naturally drawn to chicklit , i do sometimes get in the mood to read from the genre , and when that happens , i check out what my reading girl friends have been nattering about . recently , the peach keeper has been showing up all over m\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\na joseon dynasty bounty hunter becomes the body guard of the queen he secretly loves .\npeach tree is described as a \u201cfairy -

good moviegoing , but there ' s a humanity and a keen intelligence in ann hui ' s work that makes the film worthwhile . despite the sometimes exaggerated irony , the film radiates humanity , and life , be it joyous and melancholy , is easily seen in the characters and their lives they lead . hui seems to have brought a great deal of personal attention to the film , and it shines through in the affectionate , if not always flattering way in which she presents her characters . postmodern life of my aunt may not be an easy film to enjoy , as the path it leads audiences down is not very friendly . however , appreciating the film is possible , and even deserved .

these people embody the word loneliness . every person in this film reminded me of the \u2018crazy - \u201cinsert animal name here\u201d lady\u2019 . however , the crazy - bird lady , or the aunt , is perhaps the loneliest of them all . from allowing her grandson to live with her for a while , to offering rent to the girl from the restaurant , to sharing meals with the man from the park ; she just wants someone to spend time with . and even though these people simply take advantage of her , she continues to keep them in her life , for no other purpose than to keep her company \u2013 this is truly a very sad story in my opinion .\nthe postmodern life of my aunt\ntold the aunt ' s daily life in shanghai . she thought herself as a upright person because she is a college graduate . there are several important people appeared in aunt ' s life , kuan - kuan , her neighbors , the nanny , a middle - aged handsome man - pan zhichang . but they all leave her and some of them even cheat her for her money . finally she realized that it is time to go back home and see her ex - husband and daughter far away from shanghai , which is also pretty different from the mordern city . northeast china followed behind shanghai far away in iconomical fields . after sending kuan - kuan abroad , aunt backed home and began to sell shoes . it is a interesting movie to me . unlike the films we saw before , it is the film talking about normal characters , without the exactly history background . but it looks like someone like aunt living at the corner of every city . they tried to be positive , live happily , but failed at last . the huge gap between generations made them confusing . like the author marchetti said , it is like a mirror reflected the society .\nthe texture of the postmodern life of my aunt mirrors the fragmented , disoriented lives of characters and the cities depicts . the film vertiginously crosses genres , and narrative moves from light comedy to farce to satire and on to melodrama and even tragedy vacillates between pop art excess and social realism .\n( marchetti , p . 125 ) also i want to talk about the generation gap . the film just focus on the aunt ' s life , but in some scenes , we can see teenagers who looks fashion and enjoy in some cool stuff . but for aunt , her entertainment is peking opera . it is a huge difference and impressed me . some of the traditions , like peking opera are dying out . young people are pursuing new things every minute . the society is walking so fast to catch up for people like aunt .\ni have mixed feelings about the postmodern life of my aunt . i liked the subtle humor and the aunt\u2019s practical approach to daily life ; but overall it felt somewhat plain . i didn\u2019t think much of chow yun fat as an actor until i watched this film , as he is usually typecasted as an action hero . his chinese opera singing skills are also impressive . my favorite scene has to be the one where the aunt and the con - man ( chow ) walk up around 10 flights of stairs instead of taking the one elevator in order to avoid unwanted rumors among the neighbors . the con - man accidentally drops a watermelon down the stairs , which shatters into pieces , and the aunt insists they eat what they can salvage of the watermelon so as to not be wasting perfectly good food . that was a very \u201chuman\u201d scene that made the characters relatable . story of woo viet is one of ann hui\u2019s first films . according to the interview with ann hui ( pg . 428 ) , the story of woo viet was released in taiwan with an alternate ending that sees the main character locked up ( using still photos ) supposedly because what he was doing was illegal . the director herself did not know about this until after the re - release , which i think is ridiculous . someone at some point had to have thought ,\nthis fictional character must to be arrested for committing a crime in a fictional universe .\nanother interesting tidbit is that ann hui intentionally avoids developing her own cinematic style , but rather adapt to the film she works on ( pg . 436 ) . this explains why the postmodern life of my aunt seems somewhat plain to me - - there is a lack of distinctive style .\nthen in 2004 , when i first met li qiang , he said he wanted to do a story about two women and we were both interested in xiao hong and another female writer , ding ling , who is in the film as well . we did a lot of research , but when i met li qiang again , he said this subject won\u2019t pass censorship because ding ling had some trouble with the communist authorities in the \u201850s and her status is still suspect . then in 2007 , after finishing the postmodern life of my aunt , the producers of that film , cheerland , suggested we do the life of xiao hong . so we went back to her .\nthe aunt is an intellectual in the film , she was pompous and lofty . in additional she can speak perfect british english , but she was dissmed by the employer . thus it can be seen , the aunt is person of is a can not keep up with the trend of the times , so it determine the outcome is tragic .\ni think that you name the main struggle that this film deals with and that would be that aunt is not happy with her life . although this is not ideal for anyone to not like their life , she knows that she cannot do anything about it . interestingly enough , she only hangs out with people like her and never tries to find more happiness in her life .\ni\u2019m told by a film professional who follows things closely that critics feel that 12 - 15 local films from 2007 are worth seeing and about 5 are actually good . those five are ann hui\u2019s the postmodern life of my aunt , derek yee\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 , johnnie to\u2019s mad detective , yau na - hoi\u2019s eye in the sky , and peter chan\u2019s the warlords . it\u2019s significant , my friend indicates , that almost never before has the same clutch of films been nominated for best picture , best screenplay , and best director at the hong kong film awards . ( the awards will be given on 13 april . ) \u201cthe falling industry has reached a plateau , \u201d she remarks .\nthe biggest draw for this film ( personally ) would be the involvement of chow yun fatt and the direction of ann hui , one of the noted directors in hong kong . it also collected a number of awards such as the best actress ( siqin gaowa ) and best original film score ( joe hisaishi ) at the 27th annual hong kong film awards . this film was also nominated for best picture and best director at the same award . understandably the expectation of this film was quite high ; specially chow yun fatt stuck with this film and left red cliff because of creative differences ( reads disapproval with the scripts or monetary disrupts as rumours had it which made it even more intriguing as one wonder how much does the postmodern life of my aunt had to retain the service of mr . chow ) .\nann hui have always been an exceptional talent and the pact of realism in her films like july rhapsody pin points her distinct style of direction . in hui ' s pursue for realism , there is always a message that reflects and affects the life of any part of the audience . whether it is the rebellious teenager years , the struggles of middle age or perhaps the need to adapt into the ever changing world of today , hui ' s films have someone for everyone . in the postmodern life of my aunt , hui ventures into the issue of older people and their struggles to keep up with the rapid growth of modernise cities such as shanghai . it is a struggle that is relevant to everyone of us and with a brink of the eye , neo can not imagine what it will be like for him in 50 years time \u2013 whether he will be grasping on the comfort of the old or adapting into the ever changing society of the future . the film reminds the audience of our parents , grandparents and realising that ultimately change is inevitable and the struggles that they face are seemingly real and tangible . there is a quote from the aunt , siqin gaowin that seems frighteningly realistic \u2013\nit doesn ' t matter if you cheat me when i am still 17 , but if you cheat all my money now , it is like a dead end for me , as i cannot earn it back .\nit is all the more shameful and disgusting when the audience think back to all those headlines of fail companies and within those companies there are millions of pensioners who have their entire life saving within .\n\u201cthe postmodern life of my aunt\u201d tells the modern urban life in shanghai as the background about a knowledge woman dramatic story full of joy and sorrow fate after retirement . i think this film is different from other films we watched . this one put the female as the first choice . it should be the director ann hui\u2019s own style , i also look for her other films , and those films were also similar . screenwriter qiang li is the same , he thinks women are always the most emotional animals ; they have a strong emotional upheaval . siqingaowa did a really good job in this film ; she acted in a really different way . in my mind , she should be more serious , stricter and more powerful . however , in this film , she is like does not make sense , always in the state of being hurt but refused to accept to be a single old woman . i was surprised when she jumped into the pool wearing her sweater that really changes my thought about her . director and screenwriter\u2019s talent and arrangements for this movie surprised me too . when i watched this film , especially the first half , i thought this should be a comedy but slowly , all the suspense about the aunt and conjecture - her family ? she had what kind of experience ? she exactly what worries ? i felt the stressful and involuntary of the life . the film ' s cast luxury , siqingaowa throughout the whole movie as the clue of aunt , chow yun fat and vicki became supporting roles but it does not matter , as long as he showed the essence of their role , and that was enough .\nthe postmodern life of my aunt , at the beginning of this film , i thought it was a comedy . but after the story between aunt ye and nephew kuankuan , aunt ye and neighbor shui , aunt ye and mr . pan , aunt ye and the sad mon , and aunt ye and her daughter , i found it was a tragedy and made me feel sad in the end . aunt , women as the leading role in this film show us the status of women in chinese society . aunt ye has high education but outdates . she cannot follow the steps in the modern developing society . she was enthusiastic , warmhearted and virtuous , but cannot live conformable in the big city \u2013 shanghai . after watching the film , the moon in the film leaves me a memory , and i want to figure out what the moon represent in the film , in different people\u2019s mind . i think the moon is the hope in aunt ye\u2019s mind . she saw the hope after she lost all her money , lost her neighbor , saw the mother she helped is a liar , and mr . pan disappeared . she needs hope , so she saw the moon when she was injured and lied on the bed . reading the ann hui interview , i know , ann hui made the successful transition from television to the big screen from 1979 with the secret , a complex psychological thriller about madness , murder , and ghosts starring sylvia chang . and ann hui as a directress feels more and thinks more than men director about women in society . even she does not feel that she really have a distinctive cinematic style , and she think her style changes for different movies , depending on the subject matter and the crew that she was working with . but she has exquisite feelings , and she put those feelings in her movie , especially on the women roles in her films . she play more attentions on the role of women in our society , no matter mainland or hong kong\nthe most successful combination of scripting and acting belongs to ye ' s antagonistic daughter , dafan ( vicki zhao wei ) . although she initially comes across as little more than a caricature of an ultra - modern member of china ' s generation x , the director allows the humanity and truthfulness beneath the glitzy surface to eventually emerge . in the end , one leaves the theatre with a more profound understanding of dafan than of the mother whose postmodern life was so ostentatiously on display for almost two hours .\nit was only during shooting that the form of the book and the narrator\u2019s identity suggested themselves . \u201cthe real revelation in the film was tom bennett\u2019s performance as sir james . it gave me the idea of this parallel\u00adism \u2013 jane austen\u2019s stuffy and rather dim literary nephew [ james edward austen - leigh ] had done a memoir of his aunt , so i invented a stuffy and rather dim nephew for sir james who would write a memoir of his aunt . \u201d\nthis film is light comedy but i don ' t think the director want to satire something . it just reflectes a part of life in the city . a city likes a small society . it is full of comedies and tragedies . the film describes aunt ye ' s disoriented city lives . so she gave up her city lives in the end .\nall in all , the postmodern life of my aunt is by no means accessible to everyone , but it is ultimately an art flick about the seemingly reality of old age and life . it ponders the audience to question about their future and the fears of old age . the parallel struggles of gaowa are as close as grandchildren will understand the struggles that our grandparents are going through , until the audience experience it themselves . it is a frightening process to imagine about what was once cool is now totally out of date , but then again who knows what will happen in 50 years time . perhaps , cars will be flying across the universe , people can walk across the ocean or everything may remain pretty much the same . ann hui is to be applauded for creating something so real and so affecting . it is by no means hui ' s strongest work , but it is a film that allows us to explore and journey into the unknown\n, the graduation thesis by students of the hong kong academy of performing arts ' film school .\n, woody allen calls that sub - literary phenomenon \u201ctruly moronic\u201d . ) one bonus of the novelisation was that it provided underage viewers with tangential access to contraband movies : too young to see the films , i cherished my paperback copies of\nthis film ' s director is the best example of the aunt . her devotion and serious attitude reflect ye ' s character as well as her rejection of trivial matters in life . as for me , i sometimes feel out - of - touch and passed by events . i think middle - aged and older people will feel familiar touches when watching this film .\nann hui ' s the postmodern life of my aunt is a bittersweet look at growing old in shanghai . the titular character , ye ( siqin gaowa ) , is a divorcee living by herself , with her only companion being shui ( lisa lu ) , a gossipy neighbor that she really doesn ' t like , but keeps a relationship with in order to save face . so when ye ' s sister asks her to take care of her troubled nephew , kuan ( guan wen - shou ) , ye readily accepts . ye tries to make kuan comfortable , but he soon runs away , and then goes so far as to hatch a kidnapping scheme . distraught , ye sends kuan back to his mom , and , in her vulnerable state , is made into a mark by several con people , most notably the suave pan ( chow yun - fat ) . after she is bled dry both financially and mentally by the con artists , ye soon finds herself in the care of her daughter , liu ( vicky zhao ) , but their long - ongoing rocky relationship doesn ' t make an easy time of things . the postmodern life of my aunt is a bit of a strange picture . the above plot synopsis would lead you to think that this is a very depressing movie , and at many points it is . but there is also a extremely cheerful energy running throughout the film , brought to life mostly via siqin gaowa and chow yun - fat ' s wonderful performances . usually , when movies try to mix comedy and tragedy , the results are like the proverbial oil and water and come off as overwrought twaddle , but ann hui ' s smart direction lets both of the worlds co - exist off of each other in a solidly made symbiotic mix . if there is fault to be leveled at the postmodern life of my aunt , it would be the utter lack of any resolution by the end of the film . of course , hong kong and chinese movies are well - known for often not tying up everything and presenting an ending wrapped in a pretty package . but it did come off as more than a bit disappointing here , since the characters were so interesting - - it seemed a shame to leave the audience hanging . true , that sort of\nlost\nfeeling was probably one of hui ' s intents , and the ending ( or lack thereof ) doesn ' t ruin the film , but it would have been nice to see what eventually happened to ye and her family . rating : 7\nstarts at the end of the story , with the brutal murder by a man of his wife and daughters . hui gradually unmasks the idyll of the peaceful family and that of hong kong as the promised land for gold seekers .\nthe first local summer blockbuster of 2018 represented over 77 % of the total box office last week .\nthis film though it had its funny moments was rather tragic in my opinion . the aunt goes to the quick paced modern city life of shanghai . though she is fairly smart and had some college education , she was tricked out of her money by some bad people . in the end , she moves out of shanghai . i thought that in a way , this film is somewhat similar to previous films such as beijing bicycle in the way that someone is moving into a new city and is having a hard time adapting to the new environment and its people . in the interview with anne , she mentions that her preferred genre is drama ( 433 ) . this is clearly seen in the film as the story is about the aunt and her survival in her new life in shanghai and dealing with different human encounters . i also thought that she did a good job showing the main characters feelings and transferring those feelings to the audience .\nhowever the bitter pills pretty much kick in by chow exiting the picture but the wackiness and flirts with questionable focus finally start to pay off . the dark comedy turning into somber drama means we get a complete circle . being postmodern , for whatever reason as explained above , comes with the territory of being old according to our storytellers here and aside from some abstract behaviour from director hui , her throughline that concerns family relations more than anything manifests itself in a basic , affecting manner . because using simplicity as her tool doesn ' t turn the film into something truly transcending into class cinema but being sufficient is damn good coming from hui and the cinema output overall in the territory . not that hui has forgotten to be mean and angry as evident by her work on goddess of mercy , the postmodern life of my aunt is still only a fairly somber but also warm experience for the moment . and those moments are perhaps what siqin gaowa ' s very vulnerable ye counts as worth going through . it is for us on the other side anyway .\nyour film also has a non - traditional structure . why did you choose to tell her life story in this way ?\nand we hear his opinion of the casting choices , the reviews it received and the extent to which it deviated from real life . he begins his account before the action shown in the film , then incorporates the events of the movie , adding new interpretations , before filling us in on what happened to the characters after the end credits rolled . it\u2019s a technique redolent both of tom stoppard\u2019s\nin this film , i have noticed what a hard time aunt ye has . she seems to try hard to succeed , but she also seems to put others before her . we see this as she gives money to pan to ' get his medicine . ' she also helps out jin , the woman with the large cut on her face . and yet , money is a huge part of her life . she doesn ' t have much , but she ' s frugal , seems to be jealous of her rich neighbor , and gets excited when she thinks she ' ll make some money from her and pan ' s investment in burial sites . i liked this film at first . but the ending completely ruined it for me . once she ' s in the hospital , we never hear from pan . i still wonder if he ripped her off with the burial site investment . her daughter doesn ' t treat her well ( has something to do with aunt ye leaving them , which we don ' t get much information on ) . the film ends with her looking sad and depressed . i was hoping something good would finally happen to her . sure , being reunited with her family could have been good , but it wasn ' t filmed that way . if so , she wouldn ' t have looked so depressed in the end . in the interview , we find out that the director directed the film ,\nmy american grandson .\nthe director says that the story of this film\ndwells on issues of identity .\ni feel as if\nthe postmodern life of my aunt ,\ndeals with issues of identity . even though aunt ye is old , she seems to still be finding herself : finding somebody to talk to , finding a way to make money and become successful .\nthe postmodern life of my aunt features a remarkable cast of chinese stars , old and new . mrs ye is played by the great mongolian actress siqin gaowa , star of such films as stanley kwan ' s full moon in new york and yim ho ' s the homecoming . her neighbour mrs shui is played by the legendary lisa lu , star of cecilia tang ' s seminal hong kong art film the arch and subsequently famous for playing the empress dowager cixi in several films by li hanxiang . the role of the charming con - man pan marks a return to chinese movies for the inimitable chow yun - fat , who last acted in chinese in ang lee ' s crouching tiger , hidden dragon . he has previously worked with ann hui on the story of woo viet and love in a fallen city . and mrs ye ' s worldly - wise daughter dafan is played by vicky zhao wei , one of china ' s brightest new stars , internationally known for her roles in stephen chow ' s shaolin soccer and jeff lau ' s a chinese odyssey 2002 .\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 .\ni have the same thought about this film talks about the people who got high education but they still need to suffer from lives because they are really far away from the modern life .\ni agree with your opinion . we should you treasure the things and the people that you are having right now . in the film , aunt ye decided to go back to her family . in fact , her life is worse than in shanghai but she doesn ' t complain this . she knows she should treasure the lives that she is having right now .\n, out of competition . also screening out of competition are benny chan ' s\nit first met with national praise following its original premiere in hong kong and recent preview in beijing . yu dan , a professor at beijing normal university , welcomed it as providing a vivid portrayal of the hardships of life and of people ' s indomitable nature . ye rutang ' s experiences show off the persistence , disappointments and compromises one must undergo to live a normal life . the film is all the more noteworthy for having such an impact on a small budget .\nto accurately portray the world of ballet , renowned japanese ballet dancer kumakawa tetsuya and his k ballet company will be in charge of the choreography , stage design and the wardrobe of the ballet scenes .\nalthough chow yun - fat has somewhat mixed his uneven hollywood career ( high point being the sadly neglected anna and the king ) with stints in asian cinema since 2000 ' s often mentioned crouching tiger , hidden dragon , 2006 became more of a celebration for those wishing for the immortal charisma and actual talent of yun - fat to appear more closer to his actual home . starring in zhang yimou ' s curse of the golden flower , personally actual excitement entered when the postmodern life of my aunt was announced , chow ' s re - teaming with director ann hui . tracking back to 1981 , hui directed chow to wide acclaim ( but superstardom was yet to come ) in her tragic the story of woo viet and while this mainland lensed production doesn ' t contain the compelling harshness of said social commentary , many bitter pills can be find in hui ' s comedy - drama . many of which are about progressing naturally anyway . following through till the last frame is therefore vital because this mish - mash of moods , characters and storylines only cohere towards the end where we realize we also have an acceptable ( but not exceptional ) ann hui movie on our hands .\ni also found this movie to be somewhat relateable for the audience with the feelings and actions of the aunt . her struggles especially as a college grad seem to be common thoughts in the way she is lost afterwards and never really seems to find where she is meant to be .\n. but the form fell into the category of marketing rather than literature . so\n) that spill over the sides of the films in which they first appeared .\nthe migrant worker is also impressed me . shanghai is quite a special city . the city contained people from anywhere , but for the local people , migrants did not do well in their city . aunt is one of the migrants , she got well educated but finally lost in shanghai .\nthis film complements the migrant worker films in a way . although the aunt is educated , and socially - savvy , unafraid to speak her mind , she too is beaten by aspects of the city . with her life - savings wasted , she must return to her old home with a family she chose to desert in hopes of finding a new , better life in shanghai . i think the most impactful moment for me was the first scene of dongbei ( 1 : 33 : 20 ) , and how different it was from shanghai . my first thought was :\nno wonder she left .\n( which is exactly the goal of the film ) another ( of the many ) relevant scenes was the one where she is denied the tutoring position because her english wasn ' t\namerican\nenough . she ' s another one of the people dropped by the wayside in the relentless momentum of the nation . i was most struck by ann hui ' s attitude towards her categorization as part of the ' hong kong new wave ' .\ni don ' t really know , and actually i don ' t care .\n( 434 ) this is similar to the attitude expressed by li yang as well . in the steven teo interview on sensesofcinema . com , he says ,\nas for the sixth generation or the fifth generation , my own thought is that there isn\u2019t a sixth generation\u2026\nhowever , li yang does express a certain degree of concern about where he belongs generation - wise . i think it ' s interesting that the filmmakers with what feel like the most fleshed out characters from the selections this semester both seem shy of defining themselves as part of a movement or generation .\nafter viewing this film , pondering for 30 minutes what it was about , i have finally come to the conclusion that i enjoyed the film , and that it is a fairly accurate portrayal of modern china ( and the world in general ) and its growing urbanization . it ' s difficult to pick out a single overarching theme , but if i had to choose , i would say this is ann hui ' s attempt to comment on fast paced 21st century life for a chinese woman that seems to be stuck in a bygone era , isolated and confused by everything that surrounds her . there was one scene in the beginning around the 15 minute mark where kuan - kuan was wearing the exact same soccer jersey i own , and then he arrives at his friend ' s house where they were listening to a popular eminem song . no wonder aunt ye feel ' s out of touch , she ' s frugal in a world of consumerism , trusting in a world of anonymity , and old in a young city . it ' s little wonder she eventually left ( only after being conned ) . one quote in ann hui ' s interview that stuck with me is on page 425 , she states ,\ni was sent to an english primary school to study , which caused great concern at home on the part of my father and grandfather about the state of my chinese language ability .\nshe then goes on to explain that she never felt comfortable using english either . maybe this uncertainty and feeling of loneliness is manifested in aunt ye ' s character in the movie . it certainly feels that way . the movie exhibits the plain reality of everyday life , and in contrast with the little chinese philosophy i know , that life doesn ' t preordain winners and losers , and that life isn ' t partial , but it can sometimes be overwhelming .\nisn\u2019t a novelisation , but nor is it a screenplay , despite containing much of the dialogue from the film . instead , it retells the action of the picture from the vantage point of a character who isn\u2019t even in it .\ni found myself more and more frustrated as i watched the aunt ' s ' post - modern life ' unfold . not just new developments but her background . the aunt left her family in a poor town in northeast china to go to shanghai and make it big . she did well for herself until , perhaps seeking to fill the emotional void left by moving so far away from home , she was scammed out of her life savings by a big - city con artist . it seemed like shanghai didn ' t really care for her that much anyway : her neighbor was less than a true friend , and she failed to get a job tutoring english because hers wasn ' t ' american ' enough . she seems like she would ' ve been better equipped for life in one of the major cities in the northeast rather than going so far away from home to get it . the main characters from ' blind shaft ' and the migrant worker in ' beijing bicycle ' come to mind . it seems that people migrating in order to work and then running into unexpected problems and hardship is kind of a theme in a few pieces of modern chinese cinema . ann hui mentions that she doesn ' t want to experiment with much new since hong kong ' s film industry has been doing poorly ( 433 ) . i feel like ann hui reflects this outlook in ' the post - modern life\nby portraying the aunt ' s time there as a failure ."]}

fashioned way , on a moviola .\n13 . city of god was brazil ' s official submission to the best foreign language film category for the 75th academy awards in 2003 . but it failed to receive a nomination . the same year , miramax released the movie in the u . s . which qualified it for other categories the following year . in 2004 , city of god was nominated for four academy awards ( best director , best editing , best cinematography , and best adaptated screenplay ) . it was the first time a brazilian film earned more than two oscar nods .\nthe curtain - raiser for cannes in 2002 was the definition of a duff opener , pleasing nobody : allen cast himself as a once - f\u00eated director who suffers an attack of hysterical blindness . strenuous farce ensues , with a feature - length quantity of dead time on screen , and only t\u00e9a leoni threatening to be an asset . the punchline explains its cannes berth : when the $ 60m movie allen\u2019s character directs while blind is a resounding flop , his one consolation is that the french love it . but not even the french loved hollywood ending .\n9 . city of god marks the acting debut of 19 - year - old alice braga , now one of brazil ' s most famous actresses . she had appeared in commercials as a child but hadn ' t done much since . she credits the film for her current success .\nmotion picture , series of still photographs on film , projected in rapid succession onto a screen by means of light . because of the optical phenomenon known as persistence of vision , this gives the illusion of actual , smooth , and continuous movement . the motion picture is a remarkably effective\u2026\nwas worried that if this movie flopped at the box - office ( like his previous two films ) , it would be the end of his directing career . luckily for him , that didn ' t happen . after an initial lukewarm response , the film became a surprise sleeper hit .\nat the end of the 20th century , japan\u2019s long - established film culture was characterized by individual work rather than by dominant movements , as had been the case in the past . as in france , filmmakers of the japanese new wave era of the 1960s continued to be active , with\nallen has often shown an interest in stage magic and hypnotism ( see also : scoop , magic in the moonlight ) , but this enthusiasm reached its unfortunate nadir in this dodo of a light comedy , his most expensive film ( it cost $ 33m ) and by his own reckoning among the worst . his own performance as a wisecracking insurance investigator hypnotised into jewel theft was one problem , but helen hunt doesn ' t fare much better as the ruthless efficiency expert he wants off his back . all the film achieves is managing to look lavishly nostalgic for a more sexist era .\nf allen\u2019s many mooted returns to form , here\u2019s the film that actually was one : a lacerating comedy of financial and romantic recessions , and his best work since his extraordinary mid - career hot streak came crunching to a halt in the early 1990s . cate blanchett won an oscar for her heart - tightening performance in the title role \u2013 a kind of blanche dubois of park avenue brought low by her husband\u2019s economic chicanery . jasmine\u2019s dogged denial of her desperate circumstances is the fire under the film\u2019s feet , and watching her crumble is agonising , thrilling \u2013 and , most damning of all , great fun .\nmckee believes that executives can engage listeners on a whole new level if they toss their powerpoint slides and learn to tell good stories instead . in his best - selling book story : substance , structure , style , and the principles of screenwriting , published in 1997 by harper - collins , mckee argues that stories \u201cfulfill a profound human need to grasp the patterns of living\u2014not merely as an intellectual exercise , but within a very personal , emotional experience . \u201d what follows is an edited and abridged transcript of mckee\u2019s conversation with hbr .\nentertaining for the most part , but many of the concepts introduced in the film are flawed . i wouldn ' t call\nminority report\nthe most intelligent science - fiction film ever made . maybe one of the most interesting . the future that spielberg creates is believable and is one that certainly could happen . maybe not the whole predicting the future thing , but most of the technology used in the film mirrors the technology in our world today . on a narrative standpoint ,\nminority report\nis intense yet many of the things that happen may make you wonder why they happened . the entire story is based on anderton seeing himself as a future killer . the question is , how did his future appear on that screen ? everything is based on what he saw but if he didn ' t see it none of the things that happened would have happened . it ' s a flawed concept that really doesn ' t make any sense .\nthe film takes place in the 1960s and spielberg desired for us to transplant the audience into a varied universe , with a bit of chic and a sense of drama ( certainly not a humorous cartoon ) . we decided to take on the same approach as those who created title sequences during that era : as if we were in that era , working amongst colleagues . not in terms of technological means , but in terms of philosophy . we wanted to deliver a personal creation that has our mark , that works in contrast to studio title sequences in which the artist\u2019s hand is less visible . we wish to have the audience of this film rediscover a paradise lost .\nere it is : not just allen ' s creative pinnacle , but perhaps the most perfectly assured braiding of comedy and drama in mainstream american film . it feels like the miraculous sweet spot between all of its filmmaker ' s many modes and tones \u2013 biting without being cruel , profound without seeming sanctimonious , warmly humane without collapsing into goo .\nfter a run of russet - hued collaborations with cinematographer darius khondji , allen is working here for the first time with the venerable vittorio storaro , and the change has done him the good . a couple of scenes with bobby and vonnie together are the most visually beautiful sequences in an allen film in goodness knows how long . and then there ' s\nits fortunes changed in 1993 when it starred in free willy , about a boy fighting the unscrupulous owner of an oceanarium to liberate its star turn . the film became a worldwide hit , and when the living conditions of the real\nwilly\nbecame known , adults and children funded a multi - million dollar campaign to save keiko from its tank in mexico .\ntodd haynes '\nfar from heaven\nis like the best and bravest movie of 1957 . its themes , values and style faithfully reflect the social melodramas of the 1950s , but it ' s bolder , and says out loud what those films only hinted at . it begins with an ideal suburban connecticut family , a husband and wife\nteam\nso thoroughly absorbed into corporate culture they ' re known as\nmr . and mrs . magnatech .\nthen it develops that mr . magnatech is gay , and mrs . magnatech believes that the black gardener is the most beautiful man she has ever seen .\nit was superstar rajnikant who blessed me to join the film industry . he paid rs 10 , 000 / - on behalf of me to the dancer ' s association and bought the dancer card for me . now , the price of card is rs 15 , 000 / - . i came to the film industry with the recommendation of rajnikanth . i joined as a dancer for shiva shankar master for one year and then i worked for prabhu deva master for 5 months . i am the first and only dancer to become master with in two years of entering the field as dancer . after seeing my phenomenal rise , the dancers ' union passed on a new rule that a dancer should have a minimum of 5 years of experience to become a dance master .\nfar from heaven\nuses superb craftsmanship to make this film look and feel like a film from the 1950s . todd haynes says he had three specific inspirations : douglas sirk ' s\nall that heaven allows\n( 1955 ) , which starred jane wyman and rock hudson in the story of a middle - aged widow and her handsome young gardener ; sirk ' s\nimitation of life\n( 1959 ) , with lana turner as a rich woman whose maid ' s daughter ( susan kohner ) passed for white , and max ophuls '\nthe reckless moment\n( 1949 ) , about blackmail . in sirk ' s films you often have the feeling that part of the plot is in code ; that one kind of forbidden love stands for another .\n17 . in the english - subtitled version of the film , man\u00e9 galinha is called\nknockout ned .\nthe name was changed to avoid confusion since man\u00e9 galinha means\nchicken manuel .\nin the u . s . a chicken is a coward , but , as mentioned above , in brazil it means\nwomanizer\nand the character also stole chickens . the term\nknockout\nmeans\nhandsome\nin american slang .\nspider - man has a sticky situation to crawl out of . as reported by deadline hollywood , spider - man 4 is caught up in a web of disagreements that\u2019ll likely keep it from being released on may 5th , 2011 as planned . further complicating things , raimi reportedly went through four revisions of the script , with different writers , and still\nhated it\n. with so many issues , sony cancelled the film in january 2010 .\nhis work was also notable for its keen detail - - like a copy of a child - rearing guide on a bedroom bookshelf in ' ' virginia woolf ' ' - - as well as its ingenuity , as when he re - created tiananmen square for the 1997 film ' ' red corner ' ' using a 200 - foot - wide blue screen and thousands of 20 - inch concrete slabs cemented to a parking lot in playa del rey , calif .\nwith the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 and the collapse of the soviet union two years later , the film cultures of russia and the former soviet - bloc countries of eastern europe experienced dramatic transformations . formerly controlled and supported by the state , film production shifted into private hands . with the boundaries that previously had divided eastern from western europe now torn down , filmmakers were freed to work where they pleased or where opportunities existed . a prominent example was the polish director krzysztof kieslowski , who in 1991 made la double vie de v\u00e9ronique ( the double life of veronique ) , which suggested a mysterious symmetry between two women , one living in poland and the other in france . kieslowski shifted his filmmaking work to france , where he made the important trois couleurs ( \u201cthree colours\u201d ) trilogy\u2014 bleu ( 1993 ; blue ) , rouge ( 1994 ; red ) , and blanc ( 1994 ; white ) \u2014before his death in 1996 .\n7 . the scene where buscap\u00e9 tells marina ( graziela moretto )\nhe never took a hot bath\nwasn ' t scripted . it was actually footage of rodrigues and moretto talking off camera . during a pause in shooting , he was simply telling her about his life in the city of god . 8 . the film was not actually shot in the cidade de deus , as it was too dangerous . it was shot in a neighboring , less dangerous area .\nas beloved as city of god is ( currently # 21 in the imdb top 250 ) , it remains a mysterious star in the film universe . meirelles followed it up with the underrated constant gardener in 2005 , but has yet to match its greatness again . city of god stands on its own at this point and is still one of the best gangster films of the new millennium . let ' s dig deeper into the movie and discover what was going down behind the scenes :\ngene hackman , ian holm and martha plimpton feature in the flashbacks and present - day scenes she\u2019s weighing up against each other , trying to work out where her life slid into a rut of barely noticed unfulfilment , and how to escape it . in the film\u2019s most unnerving scene , she bumps into a high - school friend ( sandy dennis ) who dumps a shocking checklist of grievances in her lap , revealing marion ' s long - held view of herself as a kind of mirage .\nfilmmaking was inevitably affected by the prolonged , bitter , and brutal breakup of yugoslavia during the 1990s . under the circumstances , every film from the region was likely to come under attack from some group as a work of propaganda . this was the case for the work of emir kusturica , who had gained wide recognition for his films in the 1980s but caused controversy in the 1990s with underground ( 1995 ) and crna macka , beli macor ( 1998 ; black cat , white cat ) .\nabsolutely . we follow people in whom we believe . the best leaders i\u2019ve dealt with\u2014producers and directors\u2014have come to terms with dark reality . instead of communicating via spin doctors , they lead their actors and crews through the antagonism of a world in which the odds of getting the film made , distributed , and sold to millions of moviegoers are a thousand to one . they appreciate that the people who work for them love the work and live for the small triumphs that contribute to the final triumph .\ncity of god is a great film , but it resonated with viewers because it ' s a gangster movie . the movie tells the origin of li ' l z\u00e9 , a killer with serious self - loathing issues . and meirelles spins his tale , as well as others , with hyperkinetic editing , handheld cameras , and sun - soaked lighting . the effect is scorsese - esque and thrilling . but city of god also manages to skirt glorifying the violence . you don ' t envy these guys .\nhis first film work as production designer came in 1956 , for ' ' baby doll , ' ' directed by mr . kazan , for whom he later designed ' ' a face in the crowd , ' ' and ' ' splendor in the grass .

oftentimes , you sense allen\u2019s just happy to be tagging along for the ride .\nadio days is allen being nostalgic about nostalgia : it\u2019s the kind of film about the olden days they just don\u2019t make any more . the model was fellini\u2019s free - flowing 1973 masterpiece amarcord , with rimini swapped for rockaway beach in queens , where a working - class jewish family buzz and drift through everyday life , while the music of glenn miller and duke ellington crackles comfortingly from the living room set . allen weaves in further stories of stars and wannabes , muddling memory and fantasy . the result isn\u2019t so much a collage as a patchwork quilt .\nwoody\u2019s fourth and , thus far , final london film is a lightly cynical ensemble juggling act , taking in gold - digging , psychic love advice and ambulance - chasing literary plagiarism . josh brolin is well cast as a desperate novelist , but gemma jones has the best of it as the jilted wife of anthony hopkins , whose new girlfriend is a tacky ex - hooker ( lucy punch ) . allen , alas , seems above all of his characters here , and inflicts petty twists of fate on them which feel forced and malicious rather than wise or illuminating .\nerhaps of all allen\u2019s early comedies , this is the one that could be remade today with the fewest concessions to modern taste . that might be because on its release , it already felt like a film out of time : it\u2019s effectively the marx brothers\u2019 duck soup with a cuban spin ( allen\u2019s wilting new york nebbish accidentally becomes a dictator ) and survives on its never - ending supply of lunatic gags , thundering past like an express train . it looks cheap , which is funny in itself , and satire and spoofery are crammed in until it bulges at the seams .\nreilly brings a kind of pathetic sincere naivete to the role - - the same tone , indeed , he brings to a similar husband in\nthe hours ,\nwhere it is also needed . it ' s surprising to see the confidence in his singing and dancing , until you find out he was in musicals all through school . zellweger is not a born hoofer , but then again roxie hart isn ' t supposed to be a star ; the whole point is that she isn ' t , and what zellweger invaluably contributes to the role is roxie ' s dreamy infatuation with herself , and her quickly growing mastery of publicity . velma is supposed to be a singing and dancing star , and zeta - jones delivers with glamor , high style and the delicious confidence the world forces on you when you are one of its most beautiful inhabitants . as for queen latifah , she ' s too young to remember sophie tucker , but not to channel her .\nallen cast a fond eye back to the hollywood musicals of his childhood for this all - singing , star - stuffed confection , which follows a clan of wealthy manhattanites chasing after love in new york , venice and paris . edward norton , drew barrymore , julia roberts and goldie hawn are among the game cast singing their hearts out . despite those names it was a commercial flop , and its airiness can sometimes play as insubstantial . but when the film works , it really works : not least when hawn defies gravity on the banks of the seine in its magical finale .\nallen has yet to submit a film entitled \u201cwill this do ? \u201d , but anything else comes closest , both in its title and for recycling old tropes about thwarted creativity and being stuck with a pesky , permanently difficult long - term girlfriend ( christina ricci ) who wants to move her mother in . jason biggs\u2019s character is meant to be an aspiring comedy writer , but allen\u2019s script gives him not one funny line . all of these go to his ageing intellectual mentor , a veritable fount of park - bench philosophical witticisms , played by guess who . go on , have a guess .\nbecause the film deliberately lacks irony , it has a genuine dramatic impact ; it plays like a powerful 1957 drama we ' ve somehow never seen before . the effect is oddly jolting : contemporary movies take so many subjects for granted that they never really look at them . haynes , by moving back in time , is able to bring his issues into focus . we care about the characters in the way its period expected us to . ( there is one time rupture ; frank uses the f - word to his wife and the fabric of the film breaks , only to be repaired when he apologizes . ) julianne moore , dennis quaid and dennis haysbert are called on to play characters whose instincts are wholly different from their own . by succeeding , they make their characters real , instead of stereotypes . the tenderness of cathy and raymond ' s unrealized love is filled with regret that is all the more touching because they acknowledge that their society will not accept them as a couple . when raymond and his daughter leave town , cathy suggests may she could visit them sometimes , in baltimore , but raymond gently replies ,\ni ' m not sure that would be a good idea ."]}

destruction stems from a loss of meaning , a disillusion with the values offered by society , and corresponds to a distrust for language ( see the various spellings of \u2018dessart\u2019 ) , seen as a vehicle for the authorities that govern that society , and therefore perceived as corrupt . so while for one person to decide that life is meaningless is an act of nihilism that may cause some disruption to the social fabric , when a group of people decides to form a society devoted to self - destruction , it becomes an all - out attack on the values of society at large , almost an act of existential terrorism . this connection between organised self - destruction and the threat to social order is an idea that runs through fictional depictions of suicide clubs , from robert louis stevenson\u2019s 1882 short story \u2018the suicide club\u2019 to sono\u2019s film , via quasi - suicide clubs such as fight club ( 1999 ) . and yet , despite their fascinating implications and subversive potential , suicide clubs remain a surprisingly rare kind of secret society in cinema , with sono\u2019s film one of the most formidable , labyrinthine and provocative examples .\nthe a . v . club : thanks for taking the time to talk today . let\u2019s discuss lights out and how it deals with the subject of depression .\ndriven to suicide : the main premise of the film is that people all across japan are committing suicide at an alarming rate and is deliberately gruesome ways to get attention . as all but two of the hundreds of deaths in this movie are suicides . the message of the film seems to be getting the authorities and public to open their eyes to the country ' s high rate of teenage suicides , even if it is disturbingly played for laughs half of the time .\nshooting the film began in may 1974 on location in siberia , and lasted for almost a year under demanding conditions . dersu uzala premiered in japan on august 2 , 1975 and did relatively well at the domestic box office , although the critical reception in japan was muted . abroad the film was better received , winning both the golden prize at the moscow international film festival and an academy award for best foreign language film .\noffscreen : wow , that\u2019s very interesting ! what about kenji fukasaku , for example black rose mansion which features a transsexual man playing the part of a woman , who is always performing . it has a lot of theatricality , like your film . the circus sequences in your film reminded me a bit of this film .\nan excellent foreign film . strange though , with some upsetting imagery . not for the faint of heart .\nit boggles my mind somewhat that this is the movie of his that won the best foreign film oscar .\na while back , i watched a rather intriguing japanese horror film called \u201csuicide club\u201d . the plot centers around an impending wave of mass suicides that threaten japanese society , creating a sense of mystery and source of panic for authorities who desperately struggle to discover the roots behind these seemingly unmotivated deaths . the film was enjoyable because of how crazy weird it is , with some obscure , almost nonsensical ideas presented without any coherent explanation . as such , the film provides a perfect opportunity for me to go on a philosophical rant to make sense out of ideas that wouldn\u2019t make sense otherwise . before i continue , i would like to disclaim that i do not share nor advocate some of the controversial themes explored by the film , and rather aim to present , as honestly as i can , my interpretation of what the film is trying to convey .\nkiyoshi kurosawa\u2019s cure and sion sino\u2019s suicide club are successors of that very tradition . both films disguise themselves as straightforward and typical mysteries that both hinge on a \u201chook\u201d to draw the viewer in . in cure , there have been a spate of random killings , where the victim is slashes across the neck in an \u201cx\u201d pattern . the perpetrator is always found nearby , and is always different . although the culprits confess to the murder , they are unable to explain adequately their motives for the brutal , bizarre murders . sino\u2019s suicide club has a similar strange premise : gangs of schoolchildren , a lot of them girls , take to committing mass suicide . in the opening scene , close to 50 schoolgirls hold hands and leap in front of a speeding bullet train , seemingly for no apparent reason . what follows is an investigation into this phenomenon as more and more teenagers take to committing mass suicide .\nsounds just a tiny bit like heathers , that old christian slater vehicle . high school students kill their rivals and make it look like suicide . the thing is , since all the popular kids are supposedly taking their own life it becomes a trend , the cool thing to do . while heathers is obviously satire , suicide club is something much darker i feel . you must be a riot when there are balloons and needles involved . homemade anticipation .\n\u201c suicide squad , \u201d directed by david ayer and produced by charles roven and richard suckle , will begin shooting next april in toronto .\nboth films end on inconclusive notes , there is no neat wrapping up of the plot . there are plot holes , loops and subplots that are wholly abandoned , more in the case of suicide club than cure . while cure might be a technically and philosophically superior film , suicide club holds its own , despite often being dismissed as mindless gore - fest . i am certain that these films will make much more sense to a japanese , for they seem to tackle very distinctly japanese topics . it would be a sin to compare these films to the work of ozu , for ozu is in a class of his own , and there will never be another like ozu , but in terms to japan -

time professor in film studies at concordia university ( montreal , canada ) and a longstanding member of\nsono is particularly interested in secret societies and cults , which is partly to do with the fact that he joined a cult when he was younger and later became a member of a terrorist group ( as he explains in the 3am interview ) . his early experiences inspired his film love exposure ( 2008 ) , which features the catholic church as well as a sinister religious cult . in fact , the suicide club could almost be a sect : the children and presumed members ask questions such as \u2018are you connected with yourself ? \u2019 and pronounce nebulous statements that would not be out of place in a new age cult . talking about love exposure in the japan times , sono explained : \u2018i like exploring borderlines . in this film , it\u2019s the borderlines between perversion and normality , the catholic church and cults . \u2019 that statement can be applied to suicide club too . sono does not simply use a religious cult as the perverted contrast to the normality of the catholic church , but the cult serves also to highlight the perversions in what we perceive as the norm . in the same way , the possibility of the existence of a secret society called the suicide club reveals the fault lines of the supposedly \u2018normal\u2019 society , notably the seemingly unbridgeable divide between youth and adults .\n1936 trouble for two / the suicide club ( ruben ) director : j . walter ruben production : mgm cast : robert montgomery ( prince florizel ) , rosalind russell ( miss vandeleur / princess brenda ) , frank morgan ( colonel geraldine ) , reginald owen ( president of club ) , louis hayward ( young man with cream tarts ) screenplay : edward e . paramore jr . , manuel seff photography : charles g . clarke [ loosely based on\ncream tarts\nand\nhansom cab\nepisodes , adds love interest for prince florizel , a female member of the club who is his chosen assassin ;\nhollywood hokum . . . arrant nonsense . . . parade of clich\u00e9s\n, n ; 80 mins . ]\noffscreen : somebody once said that ero -

looking pop band seems to hide clues in their lyrics and promotional posters that would appear to point to some sort of cult of death led by children . however , there is no resolution , no explanation of any kind , and the suggestion of this unlikely conspiracy is left open to interpretation at the end . more important than knowing whether the suicide club is really a secret society of children is the total separation and incomprehension between young people and adults that its possible existence reveals . whatever it is that may lead young people to commit suicide , the film suggests that the adults will always be inherently unable to comprehend it .\nas suicide club progresses , the plot becomes increasingly murkier . more and more levels are added , to the point of distraction . suicide club is not as polished as cure , it is rough and often loses its point . but the central theme , that of dislocation , makes itself felt as well . there is a strange boy who often calls the detectives , a boy with a cough that becomes more and more irritating as he talks . this is probably deliberate , the director wishes for us to feel irritation . it is meant to dislodge us , just like the boy is dislodging teenagers from their own lives . he too asks a question , \u201care you connected to yourself ? \u201d to the detectives he poses this question , \u201ci know you are connected to your family , to your children , to your wife , but are you connected to yourself ? \u201d once again , the question becomes one of identity . while cure seems to blame society , in suicide club , it is pop culture and television that seems to be at fault . there are many subplots that don\u2019t serve much purpose , except distraction , but the theme of connection is threaded into each of them . the detectives find a long roll of skin at the scene of the suicides , the roll composed of squares of skin from different people , most of them the ones who just died . in death , this is their connection to each other . even as they leap off buildings and in front of trains , the teenagers hold hands , it is an act of a group , not an individual . in this way , suicide club is often at odds with cure . while cure desires an individual , suicide club wishes for a group identity , a connection to each other that is often lost in the mindless drone of the television and the mass - marketed media .\noffscreen : i\u2019m curious because yesterday when you introduced the film you said the japanese do not like this film . i wonder if it is because of the western aspects to the film , especially thematically in terms of the psychology . and with some of the settings , like the circus , there is a lot we can relate to as westerners . is it perhaps too western for japanese audiences ?\ni am an idiot for avoiding this for so long . i ' ve always ( incorrectly ) seen sion sono as some kind of second rate , less interesting takashi miike . he ' s not . he ' s definitely not . suicide club is a fascinating , disgusting , wild piece of cinema and a sad reminder of how pathetic and boring japanese films are now compared to the incredible highs of the early 2000s . this was nothing like i expected it to be . though it starts with lots of goofy squelching sounds and a terrible exploding cgi head , suicide club quickly makes it clear that it will be an unpredictable , totally engaging mystery filled with angry satire and no easy answers . some may find its messy structure and tonal jumps difficult\u2026\nunflinching , but tender and often humorous , the suicide club is an examination of the last taboo in our society \u2013 as well as our deep human desire to connect . it explores why we feel the need to extinguish our lives , how we can pull back from the edge , and how \u2013 by saving ourselves \u2013 we can sometimes also save the people we love .\nalso , thank you , vili and ugetsu , for the information on where to find out more about the making of this film .\nfollowing the disappointing commercial reception of the 1970 dodesukaden , kurosawa was at the low point in his career . the japanese film industry was quickly shrinking , and unable to find funding for new projects while also suffering from poor health , kurosawa attempted suicide on december 22 , 1971 . the attempt was unsuccessful .\nwhen presented with scenes of scores of teenagers gleefully holding hands and jumping to their deaths in enthusiastic orgies of suicide , i was not disappointed . dismembered body parts were numerous\u2026\nhaving promised a few years ago to revive his decades -

hard genre fans\u2026\nthe film opens up with 50 high school girls gleefully committing suicide by joining hands and jumping off a platform in front of an oncoming train . the score is playful and the blood -

book movie role , winning heath ledger a posthumous oscar for 2008\u2019s the dark knight ; jared leto was cast in the role in suicide squad not long after his oscar win for dallas buyers club .\nsometimes they are like the seed sown on stony ground . the suicide club is andrew williams\u2019s fourth novel , and it removes any doubts . it establishes him as an unusually accomplished craftsman , a master of the intelligent historical spy thriller . his research is thorough and has been absorbed ; it never obtrudes . his imagination works in harmony with his powers of observation . his plotting is intricate and coherent . the narrative drives compellingly along .\nspoilers ahead . the big question posed by the whole movie is\nare you connected to yourself\nis the only real connection between your soul and yourself is that of your body , then what is the point really ? the people commiting suicide in the film are severing that chain , thus forcing their spirit and their self to be whole .\ni saw this one awhile back -

to guide to suicide . it teeters dangerously on the edge of emotional torture porn , a territory already frequented at an alarming rate by the very teenagers that the show is desperate to help . the show is right to be trying to provide teenagers with a lesson in compassion and sensitivity , but watching hannah baker cut her wrists in high definition isn\u2019t doing anything for youth suicide prevention .\noffscreen : o yes , i\u2019m not saying that , but the sensors in north america look for these things and don\u2019t make a distinction between a sophisticated film that is dealing with it as a subject and a pornographic film . that is why i am surprised that a distributor has picked it up , but that is great . along with that we have had a lot of american remakes of j - horror , but i don\u2019t think there has been a remake of an ero - guro film , and that is probably because it would be too problematic , with the ero - guro mix of sex with violence . i think in a way that is a good thing . it is a way for you to protect your film , because you know they won\u2019t ever remake your film .\nin early 1973 , the soviet film studio mosfilm approached kurosawa asking if he would be interested in working on a new project with them . kurosawa agreed to the idea and proposed to film an adaptation of russian explorer vladimir arsenyev\u2019s autobiographical work dersu uzala , a book kurosawa had been considering for a film from as early as the 1930s . in the book , arsenyev narrates his experiences with the titular siberian hunter who acted as his guide for several expeditions to the russian far east .\nin tokyo , 54 schoolgirls leap in front of a subway train committing suicide . shortly after , at a hospital , two nurses kill themselves by jumping out of a window . at both locations rolls of flesh are found , with the missing skin matching removed flesh on corpses . three detectives are notified by a hacker named kiyoko of a link between the suicides and a website that ties the mystery to an internet suicide cult around a guy named\ngenesis\n. within the next days , the suicide epidemic spreads over japan and many more deaths occur . will the police be able stop this mysterious epidemic ?\nsuicide squad isn ' t as fun of a ride as guardians of the galaxy . it could have been , with more performances like jared leto ' s and margot robbie ' s . . . .\nfollows a group of 12 high school students as they piece together a story as it is described on a series of cassette tapes left for them their classmate hannah baker , who has died by suicide .\noffscreen : another way of looking at it , because the film has a story within a story structure , with the masumi character ( taeko ) as the writer of the story , is that we are seeing her imagination . it could also be a film about the creative process , something like barton fink for example . or a little bit like 8 \u00bd where you see the creative process of a director who we see trying to make a film . in this film we have a writer who we learn is trying to write a story , and we are seeing the story which we think is fiction but then it becomes metafiction , a fiction inside of a fiction . we can never see inside the artist\u2019s mind but the film is an idea of what it would be like inside an artist\u2019s mind ."]}

year - old david piper has only told two people \u2013 his two best friends , essie and fox , who have both been incredibly supportive \u2013 that he has wanted , needed , to be a girl ever since he was a small child . david has written a letter to his p\nthe psychologically flat script isn ' t nearly up to the task of depicting the pleasure within confusion / despair ( or vice versa ) ; neither are rosen ' s acting chops .\none of the film\u2019s neat tricks , and also one of its great calamities , is that rosen and castillo , who obviously have an innate chemistry , share only a small handful of scenes ( rosen\u2019s hesitant sorta - coming - out scene to castillo is undoubtedly the film\u2019s highlight , shot and performed with an ease the rest of the film desperately craves ) . this leaves them each a bit unmoored and interacting with a cast made up of many greatly unskilled performers \u2014 all rosen\u2019s scenes with his straight - arrow roommate jared grey fall flat , as do those with rodriguez , whose odd approximation of an alpha boss makes the character an unnecessarily hateful predator . castillo\u2019s magnetism grows ever clearer in light of the other actors \u2014 considering that as written maddy registers as little more than a hostile hipster harridan ( she\u2019s often needlessly sarcastic , even to strangers , even when smoking pot and . . . reading sartre ? ! ) , it\u2019s near miraculous that the actress is able to so shine through .\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 .\ndavid longs to be a girl . david is a girl who longs for acceptance . the art of being normal was not what i had expected . i would say that this is a good introduction for someone who wants to know more about life as a transgender kid and adolescent . it is a heartfelt novel , for sure , but not a perfect one . i had difficulties connecting with the characters , especially with david . she is 15 years old if i am not mistaken , but she acts like a 12 - year - old . in most situations , david and her friends seem\ni\u2019m transgender myself and i work with transgender youth , so of course i\u2019m bringing that to the table . i didn\u2019t hate this book \u2013 in fact , i quite liked large parts of it , but there are a few issues that drag it down . one of them was that i don ' t feel like it was written with transgender people in mind as a part of the key audience , unless they ' re teenagers still trying to figure out even the most basic things . but at the same time , it ' s a bit of a narrow representation of transgender people . the\nif you\u2019ve ever seen a film by the 48 -

[ 23 ] [ 24 ]\nin 1986 , muktha srinivasan initially planned to direct a film based on american film godfather with sivaji ganesan and kamal haasan however the project was dropped after kamal haasan ' s then associate ananthu felt that it would be a ganesan - focused film and not a kamal haasan film as ananthu thought that haasan would fit the role better . the project was dropped . [ 5 ] influential and prolific malayalam filmmaker bharathan was approached by kamal haasan to direct thevar magan for which he scripted . the film was said to be an adaptation of 1972 american film the godfather . [ 6 ] this was bharathan ' s last film in tamil . haasan said it was the first film which was written using a screenwriting software called\nmovie magic\n. [ 7 ] kamal initially thought of naming the film as nammavar but ilayaraja suggested him to name the film as thevar magan to which kamal agreed . [ 8 ]\nbalaji , personally i don ' t like this . espcially if someone remakes billa then it will god - awful attempt . . not to forget billa itself was a remake : - ) of don . now they have remade don in hindi . should we have to see a remake of billa as well : - ) remake > remake > remake > remake ! omg ! god save tamil film world ! doing a remake of yesteryear movies will not only make serious comedies , but will also signify the lack of scripts in tamil . btw , i don ' t think the script in varalaaru was pretty weak . the script was pretty good . the first 40 mins and last mins masala turned it into a mixed package . i know in this space won ' t agree with me / this statement : - ) iwould say it was much close to deiva magan in script ! the narration went down ! and the long making of the film added enough insult to the injury ! : - )\nthevar magan ( english : son of thevar ) [ lower - alpha 1 ] is a 1992 indian tamil drama film directed by bharathan . the film stars sivaji ganesan , kamal haasan , nassar , revathi and gouthami in pivotal roles . the film ' s soundtrack album and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja while the cinematography was handled by p . c . sriram . the film ' s script was written by kamal haasan who also produced the film along with his brother chandra haasan under the production company raaj kamal films international .\ng . dhananjayan in his book pride of tamil cinema - 1931 - 2013 stated\nthis film is a treat to the eyes not only because of p . c . sreeram ' s cinematography , but also because of the presence of some of the best actors from south\n. [ 8 ] tamil magazine ananda vikatan in its review dated 8 november 1992 appreciated the film mentioned\nfor kamal , the film is another milestone . . . the film ' s naturalism is greatly enhanced by equal opportunity given to all actors in the film . .\n. [ 8 ] behindwoods praised sivaji ganesan ' s performance calling it\none of the finest in tamil cinema . .\n.

[ 51 ] rediff stated\nkamal ' s story and script , and bharatan ' s powerful direction , made this a film to savor\n. [ 2 ]\nit was sivaji\u2019s tragedy that , as the years progressed , opportunities for him to display his acting talent became scarce . but he did act in cameo roles , often stealing the scenes , as in thevar magan , which won him the national awards jury\u2019s special jury award in 1993 . ( sivaji , incidentally , declined the award . ) ironically , the man hailed as the greatest actor of tamil cinema never won an indian national award for best actor . he was conferred the dadasaheb phalke lifetime achievement award for meritorious service to indian cinema in 1997 . the tamil film journal pesum padam gave him the honorific \u2018nadigar thilagam\u2019 ( doyen of actors ) . sivaji was honoured with the titles padma shri and padma bhushan and the tamil nadu government conferred on him the kalaimamani award . the french government honoured him with chevalier in the order of arts and literature . in sri lanka he received the title \u2018kalaikkurusil\u2019 from the then radio ceylon . sivaji ganesan passed away at a chennai hospital on 21 july 2011 . although the brightest star in the tamil film firmament is no more , sivaji ganesan\u2019s films are there to provide pleasure to his fans and keep his memory alive .\ninteresting topic , bb . you made some nice observations . i agree with you on the point that people would inevitably say ,\nif it aint broken , dont fix it .\nraja parvai - puhleezzz ! the kamal - madhavi romance has to be ' experienced ' to be believed . andha birthday scene onnu porumey . yes , masala potboilers are easy to remake . the list is endless but here ' s my list of what i think would be the more interesting ( more importantly , challenging ) remakes : 1 . galatta kalyanam - a zany comedy that could be adapted with some talented comedians and more ' modern ' situations . 2 . nool veli ( k . balachander ) - the director of azhagiye theeye could handle material like this . someone please change the ridicuuuulous climax to this otherwise brilliant movie . powerful , controversial , ageless . hell , its k b ! 3 . netrikann - am sure sj suryah will say ,\nnaan panren naan panren !\nbut though adult , the movie is still very , very funny . anyone other than sjs who can handle adult material w / o turning it into a sleaze fest . 4 . pagal nilavu - a good movie that if remade could be made into a very good one if the director knows what to retain and what to throw out the window ( to begin with , counder ' s\ncomedy\n) . the aggressive youth character will never die in thamizh cinema ! 5 . dheiva magan - am sure people who love sivaji more than i do , will be thinking ,\nyou must be kidding !\nbut if ppl . can make a soththa script in varalaaru into a big hit , they should make this one a big hit as well . . . three v a r i e d characters . . . any takers ? ! ps : yes , am way too protective of kamal haasan ' s films to recommend any !\nthe passing away of sivaji ganesan on july 21 , 2001 , will remain a dark hour in the history of tamil cinema . a year has gone by , but the immense talent of the actor will be remembered and revered forever , writes a . v . ashok .\nsivaji ganesan raised an amazing body of work from\nparasakthi\n( 1952 ) to\nthanga padakkam\n( 1974 ) that is unequalled in the history of indian cinema . he was the most gifted actor of our times and a complete artiste in whom voice , diction , looks , face , expression , posture , gesture and presence miraculously combined to create a histrionic charisma of haunting intensity and awesome dignity .\nendowed with a sterling voice that he magically modulated , sivaji excelled in histrionics of aural splendour that beautifully brought to the fore the glory of the tamil language .\nit is no exaggeration to say that sivaji ' s heroic outpouring as veerapandiya kattabomman is an integral part of the tamil cultural psyche . alongside his enchanting voice , sivaji was gifted with a malleable face that so naturally accepted any type of moustache and hairstyle and that inflected an infinite range of expressions from royal majesty to rustic simplicity .\nsuperadded to voice and face was sivaji ' s singular gift of mesmerising bodily postures and gestures that he aesthetically used with inventive embellishment in his art of characterisation .\nall the intensity , wonder , and dignity of sivaji ' s histrionics were in place even in his very first film and in that poignant courtroom\nstill\ndeeply etched in the tamil imagination .\nsivaji scaled a new and brilliant standard of histrionics in the 1960s in a captivating series of films of family melodrama directed by bhimsingh :\nbagappirivinai\n,\npadikatha medhai\n,\npaava manippu\n,\npaasamalar\n,\npalum pazhamum\n,\npaarthal pasitheerum\n,\npadithaal mattum podhumaa\n,\npaar magale paar\nand\npachai villaku\n. whether it was a patriot like v . o . chidambaram pillai or a mythological character like karnan or a saint like appar or a monarch like raja raja chozhan or an aristocrat or a middle class householder or a village idiot or even the lord himself , sivaji composed manifold portraits of attractive form and soulful depth .\nthe veteran had a flair for comedy too . . . with ` thengai ' srinivasan and nagesh in\nanjal petti 520\n.\nit is not so much the staggering range of sivaji ' s roles that inspires awe but far more importantly that sivaji crafted his infinite roles from the inside with uncanny understanding . all the memorable roles of sivaji are manifestations of one sovereign role : that of a custodian of culture .\nwith lip - sync of stunning perfection , sivaji revealed an unattainable dimension of his own , in rendering songs . t . m . soundararajan ' s resonant voice and viswanathan - ramamoorthy ' s lilting music also made sivaji ' s songs a perennial delight .\nsivaji enacted philosophical songs with gripping seriousness and love songs with vivacious joy . his songs sung as a husband in the company of the wife while musing over an hour of sorrow in the family are deeply moving images of conjugal spirituality . sivaji was much more than an actor . for an entire generation , he was synonymous with\nexcellence\n. sivaji is the only indian actor who leaves us awestruck by the stupendous scale of his achievement and makes us curious about the source of his genius .\n( the writer is a professor , school of critical humanities , central institute of english and foreign languages , hyderabad . )\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\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\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nthe movie stars a newcomer kajan . meera jasmine plays the heroine . according to reports the actress was impressed with the storyline and agreed to be part of the film .\nkajan says , ' meera has encouraged and motivated me a lot . initially i was afraid to share the screen with such a seasoned actress . however she helped me overcome the fear ' .\nkarthik -

picture about a \u2018paalayakkaaran\u2019 or polygar ( feudal chieftain ) who defied the british during the last decade of the 18th century and paid the supreme penalty . kattabomman whose full name was veera pandiya kattabomma karuthaiyya nayakkar governed an area known as paanchaalankurichi which is in the thoothukkudi district of tamil nadu state in india . i was five years old when i first saw the film with my parents at elphinstone theatre . the upper portions of the theatre were encased in hardboard , resembling the structure of a fortress . there were two cut - outs on either side of two men with upraised swords on horses . in the middle was another cut - out of a man literally taking a bull by its horns . the two horsemen were kattabomman played by the actor sivaji ganesan and his brother kumaraswamy alias ommaithurai played by oak devar . the\nman taming the bull was vellaiyhathevan , the commander of kattabomman\u2019s forces . the actor was gemini ganesan . my family was living in hulftsdorp then . the film which played at elphinstone , maradana moved on to gaiety , kotahena . i can recall seeing the film four times at elphinstone and twice at gaiety . this was because several relatives and family friends took me along when they went to see the film as those in our family circle knew how crazy i was about this particular film kattabomman . even in later years i never missed seeing it when an old print was screened in a theatre . nowadays in canada i have a dvd of the film which i view occasionally if not regularly .\nthe magic of the movie to me at that time was the portrayal of kattabomman by the doyen of tamil actors , sivaji ganesan . the highlight of that performance was the powerful delivery of fiery dialogue by the film hero kattabomman played by sivaji . i memorised the dialogue ( written by sakthi t . k . krishnasamy ) from \u2018veera pandiya kattabomman\u2019 in those days and repeated them with appropriate mannerisms to entertain family , relatives , classmates and friends . two remarkable passages lingering in memory still are the verbal duels between kattabomman and jackson ( played by c . r . parthiban ) and kattabomman and bannerman ( played by javer seetharaman ) . unlike most of the actors seen in the tamil films of today , sivaji ganesan spoke tamil on screen the way the mellifluous , vibrant language should be spoken . it is no exaggeration to say that he was the role model for many of my generation in pronouncing tamil dialogue in dramas . it is in this context of reviving memories about the first tamil film to impact upon me greatly that i focus the \u2018spotlight\u2019 this time on its hero sivaji ganesan , about whom i have written extensively in the past . the man regarded as the greatest thespian of post - independence tamil cinema passed away on 21 july 2001 , three months short of his 73rd birthday . though known as sivaji , that was not his real name . it was a name bestowed upon him for playing the role of sivaji in a popular drama .\nsivaji was no stranger to sri lanka . his movies ran to packed houses in the island . several of his films were adapted and remade in sinhala . substantial portions of the films \u2018pilot premnath\u2019 and \u2018mohanapunnagai\u2019 starring sivaji were shot in sri lankan locales with sri lankan artistes malani fonseka and geetha kumarasinghe in the lead female roles . \u2018pilot premnath\u2019 in 1978 was an indo - sri lankan co - production directed by a . c . trilokachander . shot in many scenic places in sri lanka , the film had a lively baila type song \u2018udarata menike\u2019 sung in lilting tones by l . r . easwari and a . e . manoharan , which had audiences\u2019 foot - tapping in india and sri lanka . but the most popular song was \u2018ilankayin ilankuyil\u2019 ( the young cuckoo of sri lanka ) with vani jayaram lending her voice to malani , and t . m . soundararajan voicing for sivaji . music was by m . s . viswanathan . shot in eastman colour , this film was about an air ceylon pilot and his family . it ran for more than 100 days both in tamil nadu and sri lanka . \u2018mohana punnagai\u2019 starring sivaji ganesan and geetha kumarasinghe was made in 1981 . the film directed by c . v . sridhar did well in sri lanka but had an average run in tamil nadu despite the fact that it had sivaji in the lead . the beautiful song sequence picturised on geetha bathing in a waterfall - stream with sivaji taking photos from different angles was unforgettable . the song \u2018thennilankai mangai\u2019 ( south sri lanka maiden ) is sung by s . janaki to music composed by m . s . viswanathan .\np . k . balachandran , the \u2018new indian express\u2019 correspondent in colombo , in a recent article interviewed both malani and geetha about sivaji ganesan . here are excerpts : \u201csivaji ganesan was a great actor and a great human being too , \u201d enthused malani fonseka , who was his leading lady in the 1978 tamil blockbuster pilot premnath . \u201cit was sivaji who urged me to become a producer . he would say \u2018malani , you should make a no . 1 sri lankan creation , \u2019\u201d malani disclosed . \u201ca warm and friendly man , sivaji introduced me to his wife and children and invited me for dinner at his house . i was very happy to work with him . in fact , it was an honour to work with him , \u201d malani said in a fulsome tribute to the thespian , who is no more . geetha kumarasinghe , the lankan leading lady of yore , who was paired with the tamil thespian in mohana punnagai ( 1981 ) directed by c . v . sridhar , said sivaji was a thorough gentleman . \u201cwe got along very well even though he was in his fifties and i was only 26 . he was very knowledgeable , not just on film making , but about many other subjects , though he had not gone to any university , \u201d geetha recalled . geetha said she got offers from madras film makers after mohana punnagai but could not take them because she got married .\nsivaji ganesan\u2019s acting career , which began at the age of eight , could be divided into three phases \u2013 1936 to 1952 , when he acted only on stage ; 1952 to 1974 , when he acted for the big screen and also gave stage performances ; and 1974 to 1999 , when he acted only in films . despite achieving stupendous success on the screen , sivaji remained faithful to his first love , the stage , and acted in plays for decades . with more than 300 film roles to his credit , he inspired a whole generation of artistes , virtually creating a new school of acting . essentially a creature of the stage when he entered films , sivaji ganesan brought that baggage with him and superimposed it effectively on the film medium . yet his brilliant acting made this so - called violation of screen norms the accepted norm of film acting . generations of tamils learnt to appreciate the beauty and power of the tamil language because sivaji ganesan breathed new life into it .\nvizhuppuram chinniah ganesan , or v . c . ganesan , was born on 1 october 1928 , in vizhuppuram , which was then in the arcot district of the former madras presidency . his parents were chinnaiapillai mandrayer , a railway employee and freedom fighter , and rajamani , in whose name he was to launch later a successful film company , rajamani pictures . ganesan belonged to the kallar division of the mukkulathor caste . his ancestors hailed from soorakkottai in thanjavoor district . smitten by a street drama about kattabomman , the feudal polagar of panchalan - kurichi who fought the british , young ganesan became enamoured of acting and abandoned school when he was in class two . forsaking home , he along with his boyhood chum \u201ckaka\u201d radhakrishnan ( veteran comedian who passed away in 2012 ) joined the madurai - based bala gana sabha drama troupe first , and later the troupe run by ethaartham ponnusamipillai . from child roles he graduated to female roles and then on to the \u201craja part , \u201d the role of the hero , as it was known then . the first landmark in his career was his portrayal of the maratha warrior sivaji in the drama \u2018sivaji kanda indhu rajyam\u2019 written by dravida kazhagham and later dravida munnetra kazhagam leader c . n . annadurai , who went on to become the tamil nadu chief minister . e . v . ramaswamy , the patriarch of the dravidian movement , acclaimed his stellar performance and referred to ganesan as \u2018sivaji\u2019 ganesan . this was in 1946 . the sobriquet stuck .\nsivaji ganesan played a wide range of characters , from god and king to commoner . whether it was the mercurial chola emperor raja raja cholan , lord siva , lord muruga , saivite saint appar , vaishnavite saint periyaalvar or tamil poet ambigapathy , sivaji\nsivaji was no stranger to sri lanka . his movies ran to packed houses in the island . several of his films were adapted and remade in sinhala . substantial portions of the films \u2018pilot premnath\u2019 and \u2018mohanapunnagai\u2019 starring sivaji were shot in sri lankan locales with sri lankan artistes malani fonseka and geetha kumarasinghe in the lead female roles\nsivaji ganesan played a wide range of characters , from god and king to commoner . whether it was the mercurial chola emperor raja raja cholan , lord siva , lord muruga , saivite saint appar , vaishnavite saint periyaalvar or tamil poet ambigapathy , sivaji was always at his scintillating best . he was equally splendid in contemporary roles and stereotypes making every performance a memorable one\nsivaji\u2019s chief lead actor contemporaries were \u201cpuratchi nadigar\u201d m . g . ramachandran ( mgr ) , his namesake gemini ganesan ( kadhal mannan ) and \u201cilatchiya nadigar\u201d s . s . rajendran ( ssr ) . the only film he acted together with mgr was the controversial \u2018koondukkili\u2019 by t . r . ramanna . with gemini he acted in many hits like pennin perumai , pathi bhakthi , veerapandiya kattabomman , paarthaal pasi theerrum , paasamalar , pandha pasam , kappalottiya thamizhan , saraswathy sabatham , thiruvarutselvar and unakkaaha naan . he also acted with ssr in films like parasakthi , rajarani , aalayamani , shanthi , pachai vizhakku , pzhani , kaikodutha deivam , etc his younger son prabhu known as \u201cilaya thilagham\u201d has also made his mark in films as an actor . prabhu was a very successful hero in the eighties and nineties with many of his movies breaking box office records . sivaji\u2019s elder son ramkumar keeps the home production company sivaji films ticking . the box - office record breaking \u2018chandramukhi\u2019 starring rajnikanth was their production . now prabu\u2019s son and sivaji\u2019s grandson vikram prabu too has begun acting and done well in films like \u2018kumki\u2019 and \u2018arima nambi\u2019 .\n( d . b . s . jeyaraj can be reached at djeyaraj2005 @ yahoo . com . )\n2 . comments that are abusive , obscene , incendiary , defamatory or irrelevant will not be published .\n5 . spamming the comments section under different user names may result in being blacklisted .\n\u2018tabs for a / l students\u2019 and \u201913 years of education for all\u2019 are two promises from the 2015 election manifesto of the unp . both are game -

year - old roy watches on as his father is shot by one of barrett\u2019s men . the fury builds in the young roy , he picks up the gun and fires it into his father\u2019s killer whose back gorily explodes . this scene does an excellent job of setting up roy blood as a tough , no nonsense hero . later shoot - out scenes have an equally hard - hitting impact . the first confrontation with the mexicans is particularly exciting as blood , snake and barrett jr . create makeshift explosives to aid their battle .\nanother partially true myth is that silver ' s real name was traveler and he was disturbed by the sound of camera motors and would act up if he heard them . truth is : there was a horse from studio stables that was a stand - in stunt and chase double for silver , named\ntraveler\n, used on the lone ranger show but it was silver # 2 that had the ' camera reactions . traveler would always be riden by his owner bill ward in the lone ranger costume in scenes involving stunts , chases and jumps . whenever a fleeing outlaw had to be knocked from his galloping horse by the ranger leaping off silver at full gallop , this almost always was bill ward leaping from traveler . traveler wouldn ' t let just anybody ride him and clayton never rode traveler in the run of the show .\nsilver # 1 was pretty much retired after a brief stand - in appearance for silver # 2 in the 1956 movie ' the lone ranger ' with clayton moore . he was sold to the ace hudkin ' s stables and being fairly old , was only used for close ups and head shots . bobby herron , stuntman and stepson of ace hudkin tells ken beck in ken ' s book that\nhe ( silver # 1 ) loved to get you against the wall and lean on you -

written the first \u2018real spaghetti western\u2019 , a fistful of dollars , and it therefore looked reasonable that he would co - write the last one too . however , tessari\u2019s name is not on the credits and adriano bolzoni , who\u2019s accredited with both story and screenplay , sustains he did all the writing on his own ( 1 ) . still the opening scene will remind some of a fistful of dollars : it\u2019s about a family torn apart and a boy being mistreated ( his father is shot before his very eyes ) , but instead of weeping helplessly the boy defends himself ( he shoots the murderer and steals his beautiful silver saddle ) and becomes the film\u2019s protagonist .\nsaddle hills county worked with the colony to ensure that all planning requirements and regulations for the confined feeding operation were approved by the natural resources conservation board . tschetter says , \u201cwe are very appreciative to the county for helping us with this important new venture . \u201d\nat the local mixed shows i ' m seeing more medium tone brown leather saddles and tack . a couple of ladies that ride in large shows had layered square edge silver plates on the outer rim of the square edge saddles . urltoken\nseems to be an anomaly in fulci\u2019s career during this period , a closer look reveals that nearly all of the major players associated with the maestro are on hand for the production . joined by several frequent collaborators including cinematographer sergio salvati , editor ornella micheli , composer fabio frizzi ( along with bixio and tempera ) and actress cinzia monreale , silver saddle is very much a lucio fulci picture even though this pg rated work will no doubt shock fans who only know him through his harder thriller and horror work .\nstory line : billy blue learns killian and his ranch hands have entered every event in the fourth of july rodeo to win the saddle , so the high chaparral wranglers compete trying to help blue , but they fail . desperate for funds , blue works out for five dollars with champion paddy o ' bannion ' s opponent , but breaks the man ' s jaw . buck convinces blue he must fight the champ if he hopes to buy the saddle . blue learns o ' bannion needs the fight money to marry and is torn between mixed reactions .\nuntil that particular moment , silver saddle had been a worthy conclusion of the genre , a richly textured western story , bursting with action , part serious , part tongue - in - cheek . geoffrey lewis deliciously hams it up as the scavenger named snake in his second spaghetti western ( the first being my name is nobody ) . but in a scene remarkably similar to a scene in giulio petroni\u2019s night of the serpent the intended victim turns out to be a child . the tone changes after the kid ' s appearance and the film takes a more mellow turn .\nthe hamburger joint ( before morgan & jimmy pick up frankie & ronnie in nick ' s car ) was the former sandy ' s char burger at 6223 lankershim blvd . sadly now closed and shuttered , today the vacant property ' s parking lot is being used for car sales , despite the burger signage still in place ! it is next door to the silver saddle motel which is visible in the background while the girls are eating -

1998 ) . on average , the prices have quadrupled . the classification of sycee is also a problem . there are many varieties within groups of sycee . take\nsaddle sycee\nfor example . there are more than a dozen varieties showing casting in different times , places and for different causes . the amount of each remaining variety today is reflected in their value . a collector may get one saddle sycee variety for $ 120 but pay $ 2000 for another . it all depends on which varieties they ' re talking about . how much do the buyer and seller know about the sycee in the deal ?\nunderstanding the true value of quality is something we at gte take very serious . thats why with the creation of our rigid mast arm mount casting we went the extra mile to make sure our customers were satisfied with our durable mounting system . when taking into account some of the major flaws of similar mast arm mounting systems , our engineers created a product that eliminates all worry . a common issue with other products in the industry was cracking of the tube saddle casting when a traffic technician would overtighten the\nu\nbolts . as a preventative measure , we designed a strengthening rib into our casting that connects the main side wall to the brim of the tube saddle , thus eliminating the common cracking issue as well as . . .\ninteresting comments on the evolution of spaghettis and silver saddle ' s standing as a sort of throwback . did that have anything to do with gemma ? was there a generic limit on brutality in his star vehicles ? i ' m not very familiar with him , apart from the jfk allegory the price of power , though he did acquit himself well in more formidable acting company in the desert of the tartars . but sticking with brutality , couldn ' t it be a reaction to the comedy westerns as well as a response to the american escalation -

grilled meat before , it ' s delicious ! the items at the salad bar were fresh , the cowboy beans were fine , and our ribeye had great flavor . i especially loved the cheese sauce that they add to your baked potato , if desired . our server seemed to be well -

fearing ) lewis . and yes , i even liked the score and the cheesy theme song ( admittedly used a few times too many ) . fulci originally wanted tomas milian for the part of snake ; no doubt he would have been an excellent choice , but lewis simply does a tremendous job . if anybody was meant to play a character named snake \u2026 there are nice cameos for genre veterans like donald o\u2019brien , ettore manni and aldo sanbrell ; beautiful lentini on the other hand , had no prior experience with spaghetti westerns , but she deserves a place among the great madams of the genre . apart from the references already mentioned , there\u2019s an early scene with gemma shooting a hole in a dollar , echoing one of gemma\u2019s first westerns one silver dollar , and a pretty bizarre whip scene , with sanbrell threatening to beat the living daylights out of the kid ( and the viewers ) , which seems to refer to the infamous whipping of franco nero in fulci\u2019s own massacre time .\nwent to the silver saddle last night . two couples . had orders of prime rib , and bbq ribs . one person thought their prime rib was somewhat bland , the other thought theirs was fine . another person and i had the ribs . dry and rather tasteless . my guess , the meat had been cooked earlier , slathered with sauce , put on the burner until\ndone\nthen served . not good ribs at all . another person at the restaurant mentioned to us that ' s how they prepared their chicken as well , so , be warned . the fries served with the ribs were large and tasty . we shared a desert called a\nmud pie .\nit ' s several layers of ice cream , with a graham cracker type crust , whipped cream and chocolate sauce . very large , certainly enough for the four of us to pick on . waiter was attentive and the service was fine . basically , we found the restaurant just\nok ,\nnothing special , and we won ' t bother to go back ."]}

mile straight . i was first in a long line of people , all eager\nwow ! i was not surprised that this novel was a tough read , given the subject matter , but i was surprised that it was so good ! the author made rural georgia in the 1930s come alive with her descriptions of daily life and the struggles to make ends meet . the characters were well developed , as the story was told from varying viewpoints . the selfishness of human motivations were laid bare in this book , sparing no one . i loved how the truths in the story were revealed slowly , in layers , reaching backward and forward in time , until it was a fully formed yet imperfect flower . my mind keeps going back to the twelve - mile straight and the lives lived and lost there .\nindependence pass allowed automotive traffic on colorado state highway 82 to cross the sawatch range and the continental divide . this covered the shortest direct distance between aspen and our next stop in leadville . however , the road also closed during the winter and didn\u2019t reopen usually until the friday before memorial day . sometimes it opened later and i sweated out those details as our trip approached . we caught a nice break and it opened on time this year so we drove across the pass about five days after its seasonal availability .\ni didn ' t even know this was made for television . . . a good small film with good acting . maggie grace and tom selleck have great chemistry as father and daughter , the rest of the cast isn ' t bad either . the quiet pace fits well with the country atmosphere , and dulcie ' s journey to finding herself again is believable . the most impressive scene in the movie , for me , was when dulcie ran into the forest , her dad catches her , she screams and her dad asks ' are you crazy ? ' . that ' s where the chemistry really clicks , i get the feeling some other actors might have completely ruined the film . 12 mile road is not a very original film , not even particularly thought - provoking or profound , but it ' s a great pick to watch a film with your girlfriend that both of you can enjoy . recommended unknown film .\nafter several rocky years , divorced farmer stephen landis ( tom selleck ) seems to have gotten his life together : his business is thriving , and his personal life has found stability and support in the form of his current girlfriend , leah ( anna gunn ) , and her teenaged daughter , roxanne ( tegan moss ) . things change radically when dulcie ( maggie grace ) , stephen ' s 16 - year - old daughter from his first marriage , comes to stay at his farm for the summer . stephen ' s ex angela ( wendy crewson ) has warned him that the mercurial , streetwise dulcie is\ntroubled\n- - but that ' s not the half of it . the girl ' s disruptive and self - destructive behavior , coupled with stephen ' s ingrown feelings of guilt , threatens to ruin his present life and blight his future - - until fate , and a driving rainstorm , intervene . made for television 12 mile road first aired september 28 , 2003 .\nresidents of denver often call it the\nmile high city\nbecause its downtown closely straddles the 5 , 280 foot ( 1 , 609 metre ) barrier . the local baseball stadium even features a row of purple seats on its upper deck to mark the memorable elevation . while impressive to a flatland easterner like me , it hardly compared to some of the other places i reached in colorado . i doubled that elevation during our adventure and pushed upwards even farther .\ni hadn\u2019t planned to increase our elevation gradually as the week progressed although our selected route did just that . it seemed like a good idea in retrospect even if it happened by coincidence . on the second day we\u2019d bumped our altitude from a mile high to about 6 , 900 ft . ( 2 , 100 m . ) as we arrived in steamboat springs . i began to feel acclimated at that point , no longer woozy and lightheaded from oxygen deprivation . my body seemed to have adjusted .\nthanks to edelweiss and ecco books for an advanced copy of this book . after reading the first chapter of this doorstop of a historical fiction novel , i thought i was going to love it . it had a great first line , was hard - hitting , and hooked me immediately . but , the story just went on and on and on . i felt like i was reading this book for weeks ( it was actually 10 days ) . henderson told the extended backstories of seemingly almost every character in the book , which could have been cut back . i just wanted the story to be tighter , because it certainly had good bones ( to use a real estate term ) . and , by the time i got to the end , i didn\u2019t care about the answers to most of the major questions\u2026i just wanted to be done . who thought this was a good idea ? * to be fair , i didn\u2019t have much time to read during the first half of the twelve - mile straight and i wonder if i would\u2019ve felt differently had i been able to invest more time and mental energy to it up front . for more reviews , visit my blog : urltoken\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na divorced farmer takes in his troubled teenage daughter for the summer , a summer which changes the lives of the two of them , and their friends and family .\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 ?

that ' s different ) , and there is no great resolution . life is like that sometimes - - most of the time . this was a pleasant way to spend the evening , but not a terribly memorable movie . tom played a farmer fairly well , and the rest of the cast filled in the movie all right . the only character that didn ' t get a chance to develop was leah , tom ' s live - in girlfriend . she wasn ' t allowed much range , yet the one line she delivers about wishing she hadn ' t ever met tom ' s character felt real and sincere . if it comes around on tv or if you want a soft free watch from hulu - give this one a try .\nenjoyed this picture which dealt with a farmer , stephen landis , ( tom selleck ) who lives with his wife and his wife ' s daughter . it seems that stephen was married to another woman and they also had a daughter and his ex - wife was having problems with her teenage daughter and decides to send her to her father for a few months during the summer . the teenage girl is from the city and on the wild side of life and going on a farm will simply blow her mind completely away , which it does . there are all kinds of problems that face this family during the summer and of course , one of the girls becomes pregnant along with cows as well . nice drama and tom selleck gave an outstanding performance in this film which was photographed in the state of idaho . good viewing .\ni ' d like to see the sequel of that movie . the movie portrays a situation common or frequent enough in life . all the characters play parts that are believable . i ' m not including details not to spoil it for others , but the end of this movie is really the beginning of another story . i ' d like to see more of that story . i particularly enjoyed the males ' dialogue lines in the movie . they portrayed strong men , living strong , respectable values . the men portrayed good role models . the women ' s lines were all decent as well . thank you for that . i ' d love to be part of a writing team of that genre and caliber . thanks again .\ni thoroughly enjoyed this down - to - earth story of a divorced couple who get together again , love blossoms once more and a family is back together again . the entire cast does a great job in this very touching tale with a good message . i am very pleased that such an appealing film was even considered for production in today ' s hateful film climate where almost every movie has to have flaming car wrecks , burning buildings , grotesque monsters , space ships and godawful special effects . this film is about real people in real situations that touch one ' s heart . let ' s have more like this . my only objection : tom selleck wears a grossly inappropriate monstrous moustache . shave it off , tom ! and for scenes where you don ' t have a shirt on , you might shave your chest , too , which looks like an overgrown forest !\nunrealistic . because who would put up with a daughter like this , besides and extraordinarily weak father ? who would let their immature , naive 18 yr old daughter get married ? even if she is pregnant ? who would expose the daughter of a gf to his daughter if she was in this shape , and then stick up for her no matter what , and get mad at his gf for telling him the truth about her ? and then there is the feeding of the anti freeze to the poor cow . to me , this is the movie about a really weak father and his damaged daughter . i would have straightened her up , not made excuses for her misbehavior , or expect others to put up with it .\nnow this is what i call a good movie ! ! my melissa and i watched it and absolutely loved it ! it was about a man who lived in the country . he had a daughter who was a mess . the daughter ' s mom made her move up to her dad ' s farm . yes , the mom and dad are divorced . so , this beast of a girl moves up there and feeds one of tom sellecks ' s cows ant freeze . that was amazingly cruel . tom selleck ' s character even misses a wedding because he wanted to help a cow become unstuck . that was interesting . i love cows as well , but i mean , come on . there was an unusual cameo by patch adams . it ' s so hard to see that though . so many good things about this movie . i don ' t regret watching this tear jerker . in other words , my dame cried .\nrachel mcadams and keira knightley would be so disappointed in maggie grace . . . : - (\nbest blu - ray movie deals , see all the deals \u00bb now : friday the 13th : 8 - movie colle\u2026 $ 20 . 00 ( 13 % claimed )\ndivorced farmer stephen landis lives a normal life with his girlfriend leah and her daughter , roxanne until his daughter dulcie comes for a summer visit after having a fight with her mother . during the summer dulcie starts to heal her problems with her parents and they get together again .\ndivorced farmer stephen landis lives a normal life with his girlfriend leah and her daughter , roxanne until his daughter dulcie comes for a summer visit after having a fight with her mother . during the summer dulcie starts to heal her problems with her parents and they get together again .

hitting , and hooked me immediately . but , the story just went on and on and on . i felt like i was reading this book for weeks ( it was actually 10 days ) . henderson told the extended backstories of seemingly almost every character in the book , which could have been cut back . i just w\nwow ! i was not surprised that this novel was a tough read , given the subject matter , but i was surprised that it was so good ! the author made rural georgia in the 1930s come alive with her descriptions of daily life and the struggles to make ends meet . the characters were well developed , as the story was told from varying viewpoints . the selfishness of human motivations were laid bare in this book , sparing no one . i loved how the truths in the story were revealed slowly , in layers , reaching back\ni don ' t know where to start , i loved this book so much . how ms . henderson can be in the mind of so many people and write like she was there just astounds me . she made me feel i was there in this tale of poverty , hate , prejudice , and just plain evil . mixed ancestry incest rounds out the story . not for the faint hearted , but not to be missed .\nfirst , i ' d like to thank ecco for the giveaway and goodreads for hosting it ! i ' m so very grateful for the chance to pick this book up ! while i didn ' t particularly enjoy this book there was nothing inherently wrong with it , the writing was beautiful , the characters interesting , i would even go so far as to say the non -

stage . when the two men are aimlessly travelling on a train journey , they encounter a beautiful and purposeful young woman ( priya anand ) , and obviously one of them ( vemal ) falls for her .\nas far as the story of oru oorla rendu raja is concerned , it is a pass through story about two friends - vemal and soori as azhagu and mike . the duo happens to meet the heroine priya in a train . she is an educated girl hails from madurai . as the movie advances , it turns to be a routine love story with embedded comedy element . vishakha singh appears in a cameo and iniya has done a special number in the film .\noru oorla rendu raja presented by s . michael rayappan is excellently directed by r kannan . as the name it self talks about the movie , it is a story of two friends who consider themselves as the kings , who hail from the same village . vemal in azhagu\u2019s role and soori in mike\u2019s role have given their best in the movie . priya anand is presented so beautifully in excellent costumes . she played the role of priya in this movie . the music scorings by d imman is an added asset to the movie . however , the bgms are not so appealing .\nin this short film generation , the youngsters are trying hard to make an impact in whatever way it is possible and sweating out to get an entry to the dream town . but , at the same time , k - town produces n number movies without any motive and the take the audience for granted . \u2018oru oorla rendu raja\u2019 falls in the latter category and tests the patience of movie goers . kannan had a terrific debut with \u2018jayamkondan\u2019 and carried the tag of , maniratnam\u2019s assistant . unfortunately , after his first movie , he hasn\u2019t done much to keep his graph growing in the positive end .\no ru oorla rendu raja is that inefficient employee in the company you are uncomfortable about firing because he is such a well - meaning fellow otherwise . the film arrives close on the heels of kaththi with its anti - corporation sentiment . to make the package look more appealing , the film has a love angle , a comedy track , and duets , unconvincing , unfunny , and pace - hampering , respectively .\noru oorla rendu raja has a social message in its core . it seems to be the trend of voicing against the corporate depleting the environment and causing hazard to lives of people . the social message is the only factor of appeal in the movie . director r kannan has relied on some average comedy sequences to move the screenplay in which the entire social message gets weak . the comedy is also very forgettable but for very few punches . vimal and soori has repeated their template style of movies . soori has played a dominant role while vimal has underplayed his role . he should start trying to come out of his template to explore other areas in acting . priya anand has a good role to play in the movie . sundari penne song has been shot very well . if the director had given more weightage to the social message he wanted to convey rather than fitting the story to the stars it had the potential to become an interesting watch . also certain shots and the detailing of the shots are just below average .\nservar sundaram | tamil movie comedy | nagesh | k . r . vijaya | s . p . . muthuraman\nthe real story is how priya ( priya anand ) , a doctor , discovers the inhuman conditions in a factory , and decides to start legal proceedings against its owner ( nassar ) . the decisive scene that reveals the factory owner\u2019s mercilessness reminds you of the scene in mannan when vijayasanthi refuses to take an accident victim in her car , worried the blood may smirch her car seat . this bit , the crux of the film , is sandwiched between so many bad comedy set pieces that you can\u2019t help but be disappointed , as you\u2019d be when you bite through the flaky crust of a chicken puff to discover that it contains very little meat inside .\nthe final act has resolutions that leave you baffled . the ending , especially , seems as if the filmmakers suddenly realised that the movie had gone on for too long and decided to bring it to a swift conclusion . when priya is shown subtly indicating her love at the end , you are left shaking your head in disbelief . azhagu has almost sabotaged all her good work and priya falls in love ? but by then you are desensitised enough to not let it bother you too much . a message at the end of the film says , \u201csave human\u201d . well , a good start would be to make films with purposeful dialogues , lesser clich\u00e9s , and not belittle real problems with pointless comedy and unreal solutions .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntwo wastrels discover their purpose in life when a doctor gets into a legal tangle with a factory owner .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

youngsters meet a girl on a train . just when you think it is going to be a routine love story you come to know that the girl has a noble mission and how she goes about achieving it with little help from our heroes is oorr .\nvimal shows improvement with his screen presence and he has grown in leaps and bounds as a dancer . that apart the film as such offers him very little scope . soori gets to mouth most of the dialogues . he comes up with a relatively understated performance . but the humour in oorr is particularly dry . you hardly recollect a couple of scenes that provided genuine laughter . priya anand is quite herself and does a neat job in a rare film that has a meaty role for the female lead . nasser scores again while anupama kumar annoys you with her exaggerated villainy .\nimman is an asset to oorr with all the songs striking a chord . as standalones they rock . but they are badly placed in the film . editing seems shoddy with abrupt cuts at more than one occasion . the stunt sequence involving vimal , soori and stunt silva is nicely done . for a change the heroes get beaten up . more refreshing is that all the three involved in this sequence are actively involved in the fight all the time , in contrast to all those films where one person is always passive and at the receiving end of the blows .\nkannan has taken up an important issue . for a few minutes you even get reminded of kaththi with the theme having a little similarity to it . another notable aspect of the film is that priya anand is actually the protagonist and the film actually travels with her . even the help that vimal and soori do are not exaggerated and it is priya anand who does most of the job . but why this title then ? probably a commercial compulsion . the film never really grips your attention . the initial scenes are uninspiring and bore you . when the main plot takes centrestage , the dubbing and accent of vishaka singh strikes a fatal blow . when such an important character is given such a careless treatment oorr begins to lose it\u2019s credibility . ultimately the film neither entertains you nor convincingly drives home the message .\nprivacy policy

anand is a doctor , who visits a village near tuticorin and finds out many people are becoming deaf , and percentage of women complaining about miscarriage are alarming . priya and her team eventually get to know the steel factory which owned by nasser is the reason behind all this . the factory produces more than 130 decibels sound and the people who works in the factory leads a miserable life without proper safety measures . how priya anand saves the lives of people with the help of vemal and soori forms the rest of the story .\nthere\u2019s no doubt on kannan\u2019s ability on penning a story , but , his screenplay had let him down big time . talk about screenplay , an intro song for vemal & soori \u2013 check . force an unnatural comic episode to convince the audience that there is actually some logic \u2013 check . a sentiment scene to create a love angle between the lead pair \u2013 check . and , the list just goes on and on till the interval , and it keeps continuing after the interval as well .\nsoori scores much better than vemal & priya anand with his natural dialogue delivery and not over the top facial expression . priya anand is one dimensional and doesn\u2019t make the needed cut while delivering some powerful one liners . apart from adding one more movie to his career , vemal hasn\u2019t achieved anything big in this role . nasser and thambi ramiah too did not make any difference to the story .\nmusic \u2013 imman\u2019s songs neither made an impact nor pulled the movie down . actually , to an extent , a couple of songs , save the bland narration and there is no scope for elevating the movie with bgm\u2019s . so , imman gets a pass mark here .\ncinematography \u2013 muthiah\u2019s camera evokes the sad state of factory workers and presents the songs in a colorful manner . both priya anand and vemal look beautiful in the song sequences , and that deserve a special mention .\naction \u2013 stunt silva made an impressive cameo only to die in the hands of vemal and soori . though , the stunts don\u2019t excite you much , at least it doesn\u2019t ask you to take your mobile and check notifications .\ndialogues \u2013 kannan had penned some wonderful dialogues to highlight the corporate greediness , but , that has been overshadowed by the below par screenplay . priya anand must work on her expressions and so does vemal too .\napart from few gripping moments in the first half , say 10 - 15 minutes while explaining the exploitation of workers at the steel factory , the rest of the movie falls short . on a positive note the movie\u2019s run time is just above 2 hours and one must be really thankful to the editor , surya . at the end credits , the movie carries \u2018save humans\u2019 . the obvious question is , who will save the audience ?\nverdict : a spiritless commercial movie made with a tinge of social message to convince the viewers that there is something called story in it .\nunwanted by the other members of his

. now raja does it for mysskin !\nwe learn about her profession and the ominous task at her hand , through a flashback sequence which works well due to the inherent social interest angle and priya anand ' s earnest performance . vishakha singh ' s special role in this segment shapes the course of the movie . from here on , the film takes a predictable course with villains in pursuit , regularly placed hummable songs , some comedy involving thambi ramaiah as well , a needless segment of melodrama and finally the positive finish .\npriya anand is the biggest plus point in the movie . when she isn ' t at her glamorous best in the songs , she just sports a simple black ' salwar ' suit all along . her fluency in english serves her role well . vemal ' s trim makeover is a clincher but he plays second fiddle all through the movie . he seems to have enjoyed the much - needed spotlight in imman ' s song sequences which have been filmed well by dop p . g . muthiah . but his picturesque ' helicam ' shots have been overdone , one feels .\nmazhakaatha is easily the best among the songs and possibly a big crowd favorite , thanks to imman ' s peppy composition and priya anand ' s ravishing screen presence . kukkuru sung by lakshmi menon has been filmed as a highway number featuring iniya and is bound to be another hit number . but all the songs might work better when seen standalone on music channels , than when seen along with the movie , due to their unimaginative placement . imman ' s background score adds depth to the emotional scenes .\nsoori shoulders yet another movie and his quick mention of the ice bucket challenge is really funny . his viability and pull at the box - office is proven yet again by the magnitude of his role in oorr . nasser eases through his role as the villainous and self - centered industrialist , while anupama kumar as his equally evil wife , appears out of her comfort zone . the actor playing the hindi speaking railway police shines in a small role thanks to his spontaneity .\nin all , oorr springs a surprise thanks to the social interest factor and the characterization of the lead heroine . aside from that , it is a regular commercial fare

( think of societies where wealth is measured in livestock , for example . ) its existence in such societies squares with gershman\u2019s theories on why it might be useful . \u201cthe evil eye belief

film , and a lot more that i am sure is going right over my head . the star of ishtar plays a prominent role in the story ; there are also obelisks , references to the illuminati ( what they refer to as an\nilluminator\n) , third eye references , and even the good ' ole 666 ok hand gesture flash at least twice in one particular scene . i wish vc would do a separate article on this movie alone . i

for his film\u2019s villain .\nkubrick liked to tweak all of his pictures , like da vinci . the fact that he died before the movie ' s release means they ' ll never me a director ' s cut . the movie is about the fact that our lives have a superficial public appearance , and a more gritty\ndirector ' s cut\n, hidden in plain sight . it ' s symbolic that the creator of this film died when he did because he won ' t be able to revise any of it later . perhaps the unpolished nature of this picture is somewhat reflective of that . but perhaps it was just a bizarre cosmic synchronicity that he

name is a coincidence . you missed the point \u2026 .\ngankutsuou : albert does this a lot in the later half of the series .\nthe drill sergeant from the ren & stimpy show episode\nin the army\nhad a hat that covered his eyes .\nall women with some average looks have power on men . men are led by their hormones , so it ' s not exactly complicated to wear some revealing clothes and so on and wrap them around your finger . bear in mind that most of them are also stupid , so you wouldn ' t attract the right crowd . they might be attracted to you for a while but soon they will find some other eye candy to get distracted . also it ' s easier to have power on older men . the young ones have many offers so they slide away , the older ones always feel younger and more excited when a young woman is around , it gives them the illusion that they are still young and fresh themselves .\nwhen barry goes to turn on the lights in uncle rodney ' s office ( about five minutes into the film ) , there is a slight delay between when he flips the switch by the door and when the lights come on in the room .\ngreat point . how does one go about revealing the shadowy elements of himself or herself without going crazy and not projecting it unto others in their daily lives . how does one realize experientially that what happens in the outside world is a reflection of what is going on within their inner world and what strategies have you seen can be employed to integrate the apparent darkness within with each experience . this whole world is staged and is full of\nthis\nor\nthat\n, black / white , rich / poor , us / them , god / devil , heaven / hill , aliens / human and so on . how does one see beyond this apparent duality to see the hidden unity ?\njust the top of the\nyankee doodle

california landscape .\ni think they meant to write : the sewing thread in the movie says it all ; the word sewing has 2 meanings .\nthe christmas lights represent ishtar or ashteroth . the blinking lights on a christmas tree represent the candles they used to worship ishtar . the evergreen tree represented her as well .\nironically , as the modern world has lost faith and even the elect become deceived , the dark forces of the illuminati that include all of the evil , pre - christian pagan and cabbalistic error have infiltrated the church and society have been subtly but steadily corrupting the once christian west into utter depravity .\nparodied in emergency exit : the villains are introduced like this\u2014 and then the assistant turns on the light , saying that the creepy lighting makes it impossible to get around .\ni don ' t know if this has been mentioned but both nicole kidman and tom cruise gave eulogies at kubrick ' s funeral , which stuck me as incredibly odd especially considering the nature of the film in which they all worked together on and what turned out to be kubrick ' s last . kubrick has always had a thing for putting hidden messages and meanings into his movies through the use of multi - layered subplots and uncharacteristic ( hence purposely and perfectly placed ) errors , like the jfk assassination in full metal jacket , american indian / forefathers subplot into the shinning and the ever continuing\nnazi\nagenda into a clockwork orange and dr strangelove ( the latter being obviously the most blatant example ) . it is not a stretch to conclude that his final movie ( whether he actually knew it would be his last curtain close or not ) to be the most spectacular of reveals that hollywood has ever seen .\nyou do have a point no matter what genre of film the same archtypes is still being used and told for a new generation . i ' ve seen vanilla sky very good film . vc did an article on the film metropolis \u2013 now granted his article made some sense but he forgot the ending . the robot maria is burnt at the stake by the worker class and the real maria says that the head ( the elite ) and the hands ( workers ) need a mediator ( heart ) which is the son of the man who invented the city .\nin representing darkness , it can be addressed and tackled on the personal level . with a film like full metal jacket , kubrick depicted the truly ugly and unglamorous side of war , and the personal toll it takes on individuals , in a way such things had never before been seen . it also subtly and with great cunning captured the backward nature of the social structures facilitating all these personal horrors , most keenly in the final cut , as they march home from brutality singing the mantra of the mickey mouse brigade . the shining , while on the surface just a higher - end horror flick , quietly but at the same time rather obviously addresses the homicidal madness of the age of colonization , the horrors we ' ve inflicted on others and ourselves in order to build our great modern society . it was also a virtual playground of subtle semi - subliminal manipulation , daring you to notice what ' s hidden in plain sight . there ' s absolutely no question that kubrick hobnobbed with elite elements of society , and no question that he had a certain level of value to them . he was a great artist , the greatest of his time in the medium of his age , and as such was prized by his patrons .\nlufia series : gades , amon , and daos of the evil gods known as sinistrals have their top portion of their faces covered at all times in the original trilogy ( pictured here in the second game ) . sometimes glowing red light can be seen illuminating from the shadows . the exception is in the reboot lufia curse of the sinistrals , where the faces of the sinistrals are visible .\ni had seen this movie on cable a few times , always catching it at the same parts , the cloak and masked tom cruise , or the bedroom scene with him and nicole kidman discussing some weird dream and it would never catch my attention because i simply didn ' t see head to tails . finally tonight as i always do with movies i don ' t get the meaning of , i googled it and read the wikipedia post on it , and finally i understood some of it and even thought\u2026 well , a happy ending . but as this article entails , i knew there was more to the movie that met the eye . i always got a feeling of uneasiness while watching the little bits and pieces i had seen each time and it felt almost uncomfortable . the odd colored christmas lights , the ritual with the masked people with the prostitutes ( with flat arses ) , the russian tailor and his teen daughter , dr . bill always showing off his\ndr batch\nand it was weird , i cannot put my finger on it as to why but this article finally has shed light on the matter\u2026 . very well done ! and now continuing on to part ii i finally\nsee\nmaybe the lights represent prism . and the lack of lights represent the knowlegeable ? meaning all the scenes with rainbows are soul sucking data collection and the others are the places that it is understood . just a thought . prism you know light and refraction etc .\ngreat article\u2026 vc everywhere i look know in the world im very cautious of ppl n symbolism\u2026 smoke and mirrors . . what some see as oh look tom and nicole made a trendy cool new movie . . others like us see a secret hidden sign trying to tell us something\u2026 ill bet kubrick was murdered . gave to much info\u2026 but the elite proly thought were stupid and wouldnt truly get the meaning of the movie\u2026 but what they dont get is we ' re the children of the most high and we are very capable of understanding\u2026 they are infact the idiots . i wonder if the rainbows around tom also might have to do with him being gay possibly . . and im being serious about that . . was it also another way to geniously tell the world that he is without just actauly saying it . . how hypcrite of tom cruise to be in a movie about what hes apart of\u2026 shows how smart these ppl really are .\nthe illuminate uses the radio , tv , movies , and especially the internet in order to weave the web . lucifer is the illuminated one , he has organized followers . you should be able to see him as easy as you see creation ; do you ? lucifer is the name of the telescope the vatican recently built . the gates of baal are being set up where there are obelisks .\nit ' s true that kubrick showed the finished version of the movie to the producers and studio moguls a few days before he died . but the movie that was subsequently released was significantly edited . a possible scenario here is that kubrick went\ntoo far\nin exposing the satanic underworld of the ruling class , so the decision was made to silence him forever and to cover the assassination by releasing the movie minus the most damning parts .\ndon ' t forget the north star that the 3 magi kings followed to find the new born christ . the bethlehem star , the\nchristmas star on top of the tree\n\u2013 yeah , ishtar very well represented . pagan at it ' s higher form !\nhow the independent woman is depicted in morphe . she appears like this directly in front of the screen in the second dream sequence .\nquestion : have you paused the movie and taken a look at the newspaper he ' s reading when he sees the article which leads him to the morgue ? there are some very strange line - repeats in the pertinent article itself ( which are perhaps what drew the characters attention too it ) and the content of the surrounding articles is highly strange . the pertinent article itself though touches on the banality of celebrity culture as well , when read .\ni re watch the scene where dr . bill is with the prostitute , one of the books she has is\nintroducing sociology\n, and the other ( more important ) is shadows on the mirror by frances fyfield :\nin eyes wide shut , there are therefore two worlds : the christmas lights - filled \u201crainbow world\u201d , where the masses wander around , trying to make ends meet and the other world\u2026 \u201cwhere the rainbow ends\u201d - where the elite gathers and performs its rituals . the contrast between the two worlds gives a sense of an almost insurmountable divide between them . later , the movie will clearly show us how those from the \u201crainbow world\u201d cannot enter the other world .\nand on the poster of eyes wide shut . don ' t you see the pyramid ?\ni didn ' t notice the baby on the paper \u2026 . . well spotted steven8 .\nthe dream harry has at the end of his first day at hogwarts is probably the biggest clue in the book , and the first of many times that rowling draws attention to quirrell ' s turban ( the fact that it talks to him in the dream foreshadows the final reveal , when we discover it ' s actually concealing lord voldemort ' s face ) .\n17 . chapter seven ,\nthe boggart in the wardrobe\n, p . 145 .\nalthough the mysteries in book seven seem a tad fragmented \u2014 dumbledore ' s past ; the identity of the hallows themselves ; the reason voldemort is obsessively tracking down a german wandmaker \u2014 they all tie beautifully together in the end .\nyes , summergirl , those verses refer to the worshippers of ashtoreth and the making of the asherah poles ! i . e\u2026 . pagans !\nhe would not release the beast . he is the beast . in darkest last days of 7 yr period he will rule the earth .\nbill\u2019s flirting with the models is interrupted when ziegler calls him to his bathroom . there , we get a first glance of \u201cwhere the rainbow ends\u201d \u2013 the dark truth about the elite .\nlove the analysis , but one note : the film was actually shoot on a sound stage in the uk , not nyc

police released surveillance video showing officers fatally shooting a 12 - year - old boy who was playing with a toy gun .\nin a 911 call released by the police , a caller notes that the gun held by tamir rice , 12 , is \u201cprobably fake . \u201d\nthe video , which was made public at the request of the boy\u2019s family , showed the boy , tamir rice , walking in the park pointing what resembled a weapon on saturday before the officer fatally shot him . the police said the officer yelled at tamir three times to show his hands , but the boy instead reached to his waistband for the object , which turned out to be a fake gun .\nthe death of tamir came two days before a st . louis county grand jury decided not to indict a white officer in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager in ferguson , mo . people have rallied in cleveland to protest both tamir\u2019s shooting and the grand jury\u2019s decision . at a news conference , the police released the grainy video from a security camera at the recreation center and audio from a dispatch call asking the police to respond to the park . the cuyahoga county prosecutor\u2019s office will present evidence from the police to a grand jury , which will decide whether to bring charges against the officer .\n\u201cthis is not an effort to exonerate , \u201d deputy chief edward tomba of the cleveland police department said of the video at a news conference on wednesday . \u201cit\u2019s not an effort to show the public that anybody did anything wrong . this is an obvious tragic event where a young member of our community lost their life . we\u2019ve got two officers that were out there protecting the public that just had to , you know , do something that nobody wants to do . \u201d\nthe police also released the names of the two officers involved in the shooting , who have been placed on administrative leave . timothy loehmann , 26 , the officer who shot the boy , was appointed to the force in march . the officer who was driving the police car , frank garmback , 46 , had been with the department since 2008 .\nthe boy\u2019s parents , samaria rice and leonard warner , said they believed the video showed that the situation could have been avoided and that \u201ctamir should still be here with us . \u201d \u201cthe video shows one thing distinctly : the police officers reacted quickly , \u201d they said . they asked for residents to protest \u201cpeacefully and responsibly\u201d and asked the police and prosecutors to thoroughly examine the shooting .\nin a 911 call released by the police , the caller says that \u201ca guy\u201d who appeared to be a juvenile was pointing a pistol at people and scaring them , noting twice that the gun was \u201cprobably fake . \u201d on wednesday , the police released dispatch calls showing that the officers were not told that the gun might not be real . the police later identified it as an \u201cairsoft\u201d replica gun resembling a semiautomatic pistol .\nzeus is part of the 10 - person research , experimentation and development ( or red ) group that builds ad - tech for the publisher as it addresses industry problems like viewability , fraud and latency using internal resources as opposed to working with tech vendors . with more consumers looking for quick news and growing ad - blocking rates ( just last week the wall street journal reported that google is considering building an ad - blocking feature into its chrome browser ) , speed is increasingly becoming a bigger priority for digital publishers in keeping users within their own sites . over the past year , the post has worked to decrease the load times for content and articles while zeus addresses bulky ad formats like video .\n\u201cthe web is slow , there\u2019s a lot of latency that comes to how things load across desktop and mobile and no one wants to seem to fix it , \u201d said jarrod dicker , head of ad product and technology at the washington post . \u201cthe biggest complaint all along has been advertising\u2014internally , a lot of newsrooms will blame the advertising part of the business and say , \u2018ads are slow , java script is slow\u2019 and so forth . \u201d\nthe post\u2019s technology identifies ads that are too heavy to load and instead serves a promo that doesn\u2019t gobble up data from a consumer\u2019s phone plan . zeus can also detect how fast someone is scrolling so that ads only load when they\u2019re about to come into view . if someone is scrolling too fast , zeus pulls back from serving an ad . \u201cwe\u2019re only delivering these things based on how the user is experiencing our site , \u201d dicker explained .\nthe post also participates in facebook\u2019s instant articles and google\u2019s accelerated mobile pages ( or amp ) programs , which promise to help publishers and advertisers create content that loads quickly on mobile devices . dicker said facebook and google influenced zeus , but , \u201cthis is even broader and something that goes around google doubleclick [ and ] the actual delivery system\u2014we loved what facebook instant articles and google amp were doing in terms of the ethics around ads [ and ] getting partners to create ads that have user experience in mind . \u201d\nthat said , zeus focuses on working with creative that advertisers have already built , which often include big files that hog data and slow down websites . \u201cit\u2019s easy for a facebook or a google to go back to an advertiser and tell them to change their creative for amp or instant\u2014it\u2019s hard for us to go to a client and say you should change it for us as well when we know they\u2019re buying across programmatic channels and other publishers , \u201d dicker said .\nas part of the post\u2019s licensing arm of business , the publisher is also pitching zeus to other publishers like tronc and toronto\u2019s the globe and mail that can pay to use zeus on their own websites .\n\u201cthere\u2019s been such an obvious need for a company with power like a large publisher to infiltrate and fix this space , \u201d said dicker . \u201cwe\u2019ve been focusing on that in a very intelligent way with red and we\u2019re building technologies that aren\u2019t dependent on the washington post . \u201d\nlauren johnson is a senior technology editor for adweek , where she

yourself .\nthe online extension of billboard magazine , urltoken is the essential online destination for the music business .\n13 years after he spent a month eating nothing but mcdonald\u2019s , \u201csuper - size me\u201d director ( and human guinea pig ) morgan spurlock has opened a fast - food restaurant of his own . of course , anyone who\u2019s seen spurlock\u2019s breakthrough 2004 documentary knows that he\u2019s not just in it for the money \u2014 you couldn\u2019t pay that guy to eat another big mac , let alone produce them by the billions . spurlock has come a long way since his $ 65 , 000 film earned $ 22 million at the box office and inspired a revolution in how americans are sold their heart attacks , but his ethos hasn\u2019t changed . once again , he\u2019s decided to become part of the problem in order to solve it . this time , however , the problem he\u2019s grappling with is one for which he\u2019s partially responsible .\nwhile spurlock devotes plenty of time to all the ancillary business of opening a fast - food restaurant ( good news for anyone who\u2019s ever wondered how they make the burgers in the commercials look so good ) , most of the movie is devoted to the nitty gritty of chicken farming . teaming up with a father - son duo of dissatisfied alabama farmers , spurlock buys his own coop , and wow does that go from cute to catastrophic in a hurry .\none of the first things we learn about the squeaking baby birds is how easy they are to step on \u2014 several are crushed to death before they\u2019re even a few hours old . another fun fact : we\u2019ve made the animals into freaks of nature , breeding them to to the point where they mature to full size in just six weeks and grow large enough to fight godzilla ; when the mutant birds start dropping dead from heart attacks , you know that you\u2019re right on schedule . yes , this movie includes a chicken autopsy , and yes , it will make you want to eat soylent for the rest of your life .\nprovocative but never pandering , spurlock likes to keep himself front and center , but his style remains perfectly suited for self - absorbed times in which everyone with a cellphone signal thinks of themselves as a citizen journalist . more than anything , it\u2019s his enthusiasm that makes this kind of edutainment so effective \u2014 it\u2019s easier to accept the film\u2019s arguments and internalize its morals because spurlock takes us along for the ride . he genuinely delights in illustrating that \u201cfree - range\u201d just means that chickens have the option of going outside , and his enthusiasm is contagious . he sincerely cares about his chickens , he cares about the business of raising chickens in general , and he cares most of all about the people who suffer under its thumb .\nneither of the \u201csuper - size me\u201d movies is fine art , but there\u2019s a certain artfulness with which they\u2019re assembled . spurlock does a deft job of threading comedy together with corporate evil , poking fun at the food industry one minute and soberly confronting its consequences the next . a spoonful of sugar ( or sriracha ? ) helps the medicine go down , and this very necessary sequel is both more amusing and more stomach - churning because spurlock applies the same point - of - fact approach to both parts . by the time he starts investigating the tournament system with which \u201cbig chicken\u201d supports ( and shackles ) the individual farmers who sustain the industry\u2019s five big conglomerates , you don\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry .\nwhen he finally opens holy chicken ! , refurbishing a shuttered wendy\u2019s into the most exciting fast - food franchise in columbus , ohio , it\u2019s not the chicken that makes the restaurant so different ( spurlock paints his filets with fake charcoal lines just like everyone else ) . no , what separates holy chicken ! from the competition is that it doesn\u2019t allow its customers to ignore that some things are just too good to be true . the specifics are best saved for the movie itself , but let\u2019s just say that spurlock doesn\u2019t delude himself into thinking he can get us to all go vegan . still , the onus is clearly on us to get informed and make change , because nothing is going to happen until we put our money where our mouth is .\nsign up :

year - old girl who wants to make friendship with a two - year - old boy . directing bonjour was a challenge as the kids were around 18 months of age at the time of filming and i had to take a lot of help from their parents . their parents would make them do certain things for me , which would sometimes be random , and i had to then be opportunistic to choose the take with required emotions , so i could use them to tell the story .\nit\u2019s a big day for andrew who is newly elected mayor of the town . he is about to go on air for a chat show on the local television channel called \u2018meet your mayor\u2019 . while waiting for the chat show , he finds cinnamon alongside tea and coffee , which reminds him of the house he grew up in .\nshahid kamal\u2019s cinnamon is a story of a newly elected mayor who comes from a family where his dad was verbally and physically abusive to his mom . he is waiting to go on a chat show . on the chat show , he ends up saying good things about his dad . the story shows psychological effects of domestic violence on a person .\nthe general understanding of murphy\u2019s law is , \u201canything that can go wrong will . \u201d we say this anytime anything sucks , like some mantra of pessimism . when interstellar \u2018s murph cooper asks her dad why she was named after something bad , he explains with the original wording of murphy\u2019s law , a version of \u201cwhatever can happen , will happen . \u201d this is the key to the entire film , plot holes and all .\nyou are absolutely right . david sandercock was an amazing actor to work with . his experience didn\u2019t make me nervous at all ; in fact it gave me more confidence as a director to work with such a refined actor and make an entertaining film in the end . although i loved his acting throughout , but i really liked his performance in the last scene - that of giving milk to his dad in the cellar . i needed contradictory emotions from him - that of hatred / revenge ( and a need to punish his dad ) and sadness ( he would wish that he never had to do that ) . i thought he acted exactly the right mix of emotions in this scene . my key input was my support , friendly yet , professional attitude and clarity of direction , as in what i exactly wanted from him in different scenes in the film .\nagencija sva , belgrade adrenalin , belgrade advantage , belgrade arts & crafts , belgrade ava film , belgrade balkan media , belgrade ba\u0161 \u010delik , belgrade box production , novi sad brendon , belgrade doktor , belgrade fullhouse orilvy , belgrade idea + comunications , belgrade i . c . p . s . , belgrade incognito , belgrade mbk production , belgrade new asist , belgrade publicis , belgrade soul flower , belgrade watchout , belgrade work in progress , belgrade\nparents need to know that cinnamon - - which is aimed directly at younger kids and tweens - - has a surprising amount of kissing for a movie targeted at that audience , as well as thematic material about divorce and widower - hood relationships , blended families , and the dating life of teenage daughters . but other than a few incidents of pushing and shoving , there ' s nothing violent , and this dog tale is ultimately about building a new , loving family unit .\ngetting incoherency right is a hard job , but that\u2019s exactly what paul thomas anderson pulls off in his delicious adaptation of thomas pynchon\u2019s inherent vice . to further the disorientation a bit , some of the explanatory details from pynchon\u2019s packed prose had to be cut , like why private investigator doc operates out of a dentist\u2019s office . this added confusion makes the film even better , in my opinion . when you\u2019ve entered a twisted , paranoid world like this , exposition can detract from the absurd brilliance .\nmore kissing and innuendo than usual for a movie aimed at this age group . cinnamon usually interrupts , but there ' s plenty of smooching between grown - ups madeline and kevin . madeline stops her teenage daughter from dating an older womanizer . madeline and her daughter , chloe , each wear cleavage - bearing outfits , as does chloe ' s dad ' s girlfriend . madeline mentions that her ex\nupgraded\nto a much younger model . a girl wears a bikini in an internet photo . young jordan has an obvious crush on his friend .\nthe animal cast is impressive and spot - on with the humor . of course , they\u2019re made to do ridiculous stunts , but cinnamon\u2019s laughs are mostly in good fun . the kids will likely fall in love with the title character and the story . but in the age of pixar and dreamworks , audience members should ask more of their family - friendly fare . with toy story , brave and shrek , hollywood has come to realize that characterization and plot doesn\u2019t have to be sacrificed for kiddie humor . family films can be intelligent , educational and engaging .\nwhiplash an intense emotional experience , a rollarcoaster built on drumbeats , sweat , blood , and screams . it gets into your nervous system . it\u2019s a myth - building movie , not only building the myth of these characters hurtling themselves towards a perception of greatness by sacrificing key parts of their flesh , emotional - well being , and humanity , but also rebuilding the myth of charlie parker into something far more soul - gouging that it already was . i saw too movies yesterday . one was the horror film the babadook , but whiplash is the one that will probably give me nightmares .\nfamily films require a delicate balance , lest\nwholesome\nquickly turn into\nbland\nand\nkid friendly\nbecome an adult snoozefest ; while cinnamon isn ' t completely boring , it ' s a strange hybrid . it ' s a mix of post - divorce romance , middle - school puppy love , and talking - dog comedy . the humor is pretty forgettable ( mostly slapstick gags ) , and the story feels overlong for such a paper - thin plot ( dog likes being the apple of her owner ' s eye and attempts to destroy her favorite human ' s chance at love ) .\ninsect - resistant films containing a microencapsulated insect - repelling agent were developed to protect food products from the indian meal moth ( plodia interpunctella ) . cinnamon oil ( co ) , an insect repelling agent , was encapsulated with gum arabic , whey protein isolate ( wpi ) / maltodextrin ( md ) , or poly ( vinyl alcohol ) ( pva ) . a low - density polyethylene ( ldpe ) film was coated with an ink or a polypropylene ( pp ) solution that incorporated the microcapsules . the encapsulation efficiency values obtained with gum arabic , wpi / md , and pva were 90 . 4 % , 94 . 6 % , and 80 . 7 % , respectively . the films containing a microcapsule emulsion of pva and co or incorporating a microcapsule powder of wpi / md and co were the most effective ( p < 0 . 05 ) at repelling moth larvae . the release rate of cinnamaldehyde , an active repellent of cinnamaldehyde , in the pp was 23 times lower when cinnamaldehyde was microencapsulated . coating with the microcapsules did not alter the tensile properties of the films . the invasion of larvae into cookies was prevented by the insect - repellent films , demonstrating potential for the films in insect - resistant packaging for food products .\nafter enduring these tiresome 91 minutes , it turns out those pets with sunglasses are no fun at all . chalk it up to unoriginality or plain laziness , but cinnamon is a bore through and through . its story , written by michael feifer , feels like it\u2019s been done a million times before . its cast of actors are serviceable , at best . the dogs at the center of the story , including the title character , make for humorous moments , but after 20 minutes the story forgets about the dogs and centers around the humans . plus , the voices for the dogs are brought to life by screech - worthy young actors who talk like annoying teenagers .\none look at feifer\u2019s resume and it become clear that he pumps out these family - friendly flicks quite quickly . he probably means well , and younger audience members will likely laugh , but adults will find it near -

is it because this is so fantastically original , the whole concept of a world of monsters that must also interact with the human world , where they get the screams that power their city ? it is because it takes a tired old plot , the idea of a bachelor who ends up in charge of a child and ends up caring for the child more than he ever could have imagined and makes it new and original ? is it because the animation is so amazing ? i remember noticing that in the theater . shrek had considerable wit and biting humor , but the animation wasn\u2019t the best thing about it . here , the animation is simply amazing . i remember watching sully standing in the snow and the wind and watching the individual hairs on him moving in the wind and was just astonished . or look at the scene where he believes that boo has been crushed in a trash compacter . look at the amazing expressions in his face . these characters come alive .\nblacklisted us director joseph losey collaborated with scriptwriter harold pinter and actor dirk bogarde ( as a sinister and unctuous manservant named barrett ) to satirize the upper strata of the british class system in the servant ( 1963 ) and accident ( 1967 ) . but the british film ( now a cult classic ) that best exemplified the ' swinging ' youth drugs / sex era of late 60s london was co - directors donald cammell ' s and nicolas roeg ' s originally x - rated performance ( 1970 ) - starring rolling stones rock star mick jagger .\ncnet magazine : check out a sampling of the stories you ' ll find in cnet ' s newsstand edition .\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\n. rich\u2019s luck continued to be terrible , as the movie was critically panned , focusing on the bland story and animation . the film did , however , make a profit , grossing $ 50 million against a $ 20 million budget . this led to a few straight - to - dvd sequels , but not anymore theatrical releases . richard rich continues to direct the\nthird of the hollywood newcomers , jonah hill comedy the sitter , delivered an opening gross of \u00a3910 , 000 . that ' s a better result than david gordon green ' s last effort your highness , which only achieved a \u00a3926 , 000 debut last april thanks to two days of previews totalling \u00a3344 , 000 . previously , the director ' s pineapple express left the starting gate in september 2008 with \u00a31 . 37m including previews of \u00a3132 , 000 .\ntake this week ' s new reader survey on whether universal should make a third mummy film . in last week ' s survey , readers were asked which of three recent hits they most wanted to see a sequel to . of 2 , 652 responses , 47 % voted for charlie ' s angels , 34 % picked hannibal , while 19 % said spy kids .\na trio of critically - panned april releases tumbled out of the top ten over the weekend . the david spade comedy joe dirt fell 49 % to $ 752 , 845 lifting its sum to $ 25 . 8m . produced for $ 16m , the sony release should finish with $ 27 - 29m . new line ' s $ 80m warren beatty vehicle town & country and sony ' s low - budget horror flick the forsaken each saw more than half of its audience disappear and reached 17 - day cumes of just $ 6 . 3m each . look for the movies to conclude with embarrassing finals of about $ 7m .\nmonsters inc . is one of my top 5 pixar films ( i can never narrow it down ) . from the voice acting , to the character design , to all the different worlds , to how inventive some of the setpieces are ( the door scene in particular ) \u2026and it\u2019s really , really touching , the first pixar film to really hit that note that they would come to perfect . i can still do a pitch - perfect roz voice , and i would pay money to see \u201cput that thing back where it came from or so help me\u201d performed . also , the scene with sully\u2019s reactions to the trash compactor are a pretty direct reference to an old looney tunes short ( urltoken )\nbrown\u2019s varied score meshes nicely with norman\u2019s script to create the imagery of graceful swans in nature , punctuated by moments of intensity as the drama unfolds . especially enjoyable is a jazzy component as the scene shifts to a seedy philadelphia nightclub . the pleasant and generally undemanding score is clearly written for future productions by less accomplished musicians than the center\u2019s polished house orchestra ."]}

( \u2015lisa moore the university of texas at austin )\nthe ploy ( la macchinazione ) by italian director david grieco , recounts the last days of director / poet / writer pier paolo pasolini , who was assassinated on the outskirts of rome on a november night in 1975 . his death is still shrouded in mystery , and the film ' s authors seems to believe in a conspiracy theory : pasolini was not savagely murdered by just one person during a sexual encounter , but rather was the victim of a well plotted conspiracy . veteran actor / singer massimo ranieri plays pasolini ; the music is by pink floyd .\nin fact , it ' s a mark of his character development that he slowly shifts from the indy ploy to xanatos speed chess and starts preparing things ahead of time . the examples mostly take place over the first few books , while notable examples of his planning ahead include death masks , small favor , turn coat , and skin game . as he lampshades , wizards in general are much physically weaker than many of their enemies , and so the supernatural baddies will generally try to ambush him to get him out of the way . but once he has time to plan . . .\n- the eccentric owner of the wonka chocolate factory . mr . wonka is the most renowned candy maker in the world and an endless combination of opposing parts . he is old but filled with a boundless energy . he is physically small , but his persona is larger than life . he is also both charming and insensitive . his decision to open his factory to five lucky children is actually a calculated ploy to find the perfect child to take over his factory . he is looking for a properly obsequious child to whom he can teach all the secrets of his factory . charlie bucket is that boy .\nin one episode , this was discussed when tylor has a debate with yamamoto about what happens if all plans against the enemy fails . tylor ' s point was that sometimes all plans can fail and you must think fast at that point to win . yamamoto dismisses tylor as being an idiot , only to look in shock later in the episode , as tylor ' s attempt to escape the raalgon fleet pursing them - after all before plans failed - resulted in the whole raalgon fleet getting wiped out by their own actions . leaving the crew wondering , if tylor was just lucky , or used an indy ploy against the raalgon fleet .\nafter a lawsuit to stop the new meat - labeling regulations was unsuccessful , the meatpacking industry , arguing that the law ' s tracking and record - keeping requirements are too onerous , embarked on a 13th - hour campaign to weaken or undo them , using the federal farm bill that is being negotiated in congress as a vehicle . the country - of - origin rules also have been challenged by some nations through the world trade organization ; they contend that the law is a protectionist ploy . the department of agriculture won a recent round after a wto judge ruled that labeling the countries of origin was not inherently anti - trade . but other challenges remain .\na more heroic , for lack of a better term , indy ploy is the mo of moist von lipwig in the discworld novel going postal . near the end , he makes a bet with the magnificent bastard big bad reacher gilt , and he has no idea how he ' ll win at first . . . in his second appearance in making money , he outlines a grand if somewhat vague vision of the future of currency , and wonders if he should write it down so he can work out what he ' s talking about later . in both books the confidence with which he enters such things leads everyone else to conclude he had it all planned out .\nthe company\u2019s rebound from this disaster was nothing short of a miracle ( hence the persistent belief that the whole thing must have been planned ) . yet it\u2019s a very understandable miracle once you think about it . it took the loss of the beverage people had grown up with and fallen in love over to remind them how much it meant to them . no longer taken for granted , coca - cola had been reaffirmed in their affections . as for the debacle\u2019s being a deliberate marketing ploy , donald keough said : \u201csome critics will say coca - cola made a marketing mistake . some cynics will say that we planned the whole thing . the truth is we are not that dumb , and we are not that smart . \u201d\nit is difficult to tell what the director ' s intentions were with this thai film called ploy . the three central characters are a husband ( wit ) and wife ( dang ) and a young woman ( ploy ) the husband meets in an airport bar . the film starts at a slow pace - - appropriate as the tired husband and wife travelers arrive in thailand in the early morning hours . but the pace remains sluggish until we realize that ' s the style of the film then we discover that some happenings may only be the stuff of dreams . eventually , it becomes apparent that this is not a simple narrative . side stories branch off , some action may be fantasy , and other plot developments seem to terminate without resolution . though it all , the\ncentral action\nthat takes place in the couple ' s hotel room is filmed very deliberately . the camera lingers on vacated spaces . it traces the lines of architectural elements , rendering them cubist abstractions . it captures inactivity . the result is the film becomes a kind of meditation . the film did not lose my attention . although the storyline was ambiguous , i was still engaged . clearly the central theme has something to do with the shelf life of ( married ) relationships . wit says ,\neveryone is lonely . most people don ' t know it because they ' re too busy .\nthe film is named after the young girl ' s character , presumably because she is the catalyst that sparks the couple ' s imaginations and fears .\ntoday the censor is in the form of the pmrc and their warning stickers will obviously have the same effect . the president of giant records noted that one group , too much joy , has given consent their album to be labeled for marketing reasons ( flanagan 1991 ) . although the riaa disagrees with such usage , some artists have even used the label to their advantage . the comedian george carlin peers over an oversized parental advisory logo on his album cover and uses the warning as a title . a rap compilation album issued by priority records uses a blown - up version of the label as cover art and replaces the word\nlyrics\nwith\nrap\n( rosen 1990 ) . representatives from the record companies readily admit the logo can be a useful marketing ploy .\nmy little pony is third ( boy , hasbro ' s actually really good at creating franchises with loads and loads of characters ) . my little pony has a huge cast of primary , secondary , tertiary , and background characters , spread across 4 generations of toys and shows . heck , generation 3 my little pony ' s television show had no plot , continuity , or canon \u2014it was just a merchandising ploy that just introduced more and more and more characters per episode . thankfully , generation four my little pony ' s tv show doesn ' t fall into this snarl , but good celestia , there ' s a lot of characters\u2014case in point , just look at its ensemble darkhorse page , which , so far , is the only other case of ensemble dark horse having its own page for a franchise\u2014the other page , of course , being the one for transformers .\nalso inverted with the daleks and the movellans . they were both so good at the plan that when they came up against each other they found themselves locked in a stalemate of xanatos speed chess , neither able to ever gain an advantage over the other . the daleks realize that they need davros to find them a way past this block , and the movellans realize that the dalek task force sent to the desolate skaro must be there for some ancient , hidden thing of great importance to the current situation and set out to stop them . upon learning what the daleks ' plan is , the movellans want the doctor to give them the ability to carry out an indy ploy just like the daleks want davros to do for them . fortunately , the doctor and the humans the daleks brought as slave labor manage to not only destroy both of them , but capture davros for trial .\naccording to the ploy on the night of november 2 , 1975 pasolini meets with the criminals who have \u201cabducted\u201d his film . there he finds his violent demise . was pelosi really his lone killer ? the film gives one answer to a question still hotly debated in italy . \u201cwhen the lifeless body of pasolini was found at the idroscalo , i was one of the first people at the crime scene together with the forensic experts , and that scene still horrifies me ,\nrecalls grieco , 65 , then a good friend of pasolini ' s .\nla macchinazione narrates the last three months of pasolini\u2019s life , and sheds new light on his relationship with pelosi . the two had been seeing one another for the past four months . and all of this makes pasolini\u2019s assassination even more grotesque . different theories about his murder still abounds , and in this film we try to embrace them all and weave them into one simple credible plot , because there is some truth in each of these versions .\nevery relationship has an expiration date . every relationship needs its fantasies . . . some more real than others . . . a violent death of a relative brings wit and his wife , dang , back to bangkok from america , where they own a thai restaurant , for the first time in 7 years . as soon as they arrive in bangkok at 5 . 30 am . wit and dang check into a five - star hotel downtown . wit finds out that he is out of cigarettes once they are inside the room . he goes down to the lobby bar . after getting his pack of cigarette from the bartender wit decides to order a cup of coffee and smoke his cigarette there . the girl from the table in the dark corner comes to wit to ask if she could borrow his lighter . wit hands her his lighter . then she asks if she could borrow one cigarette too . the girl sits down and lights up one of his cigarettes and they somehow strike up a conversation . wit learns that her name is ploy . this is how our little tale of love and jealousy begins . a highly detailed psychological drama . . .\nsylar finally cornered claire and obtained immortality . back from the dead , arthur petrelli soon recruited sylar to pinehearst by pretending to be his father . when h . r . g revealed the truth , sylar began to suffer a crisis of identity and family , and killed elle , destroying their fledgling relationship . hell - bent on discovering the truth about his parentage , he killed arthur , bringing down pinehearst and the threat to his power . but he was soon stopped by claire who stabbed him and left him for dead in primatech . in volume 4 , sylar finally found his real father , who was dying of cancer . after easily overpowering his father in an attack , he realised that he needed a bigger challenge . he started working with danko to catch other heroes , gaining himself a very handy shape - shifting ability . however , his aiding danko was all a ploy to get to the president . he killed nathan , but at his moment of triumph he was taken out by peter , who had copied his powers . the unconscious sylar had his mind manipulated by matt , forcing him to believe that he was nathan petrelli . he began his new life as nathan , but was his true identity really gone for good ?\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyou know those dreams . we all have them . nothing scary has happened . if anything it\u2019s mundane , you\u2019re walking through the streets , your house , but still the nightmare feeling is ever present . the air is heavy , your body uneasy , almost sick . you so badly want to wake up , if only to feel something normal again . this is the world of gone girl . david fincher\u2019s thriller tracks the waking nightmare of nick dunne ( ben affleck ) as he attempts to unravel the ever -

[ warning ! this article contains spoilers for the first season of the strain . ] so the first season of the the strain ended with 13 episodes on october 5 last year . my personal opinion about the tv series are somewhat mixed but ultimately not so positive . but seeing as it\u2019s my own personal opinion , you\u2019re free to contradict me on the points that i\u2019m about to make . the novel , also entitled the strain ( co - written by guillermo del toro and chuck hogan ) was a delight to read . but that was on paper , and the tv show had a lot of things that made it disappointing and painfully average , especially when it neared the end . when the strain started airing , it was ok , nothing so special , although on the first few episodes , it was pretty clear that there\u2019s something to look forward to and that it will make the show special . sadly , the first season struggled to show everyone else that deserved more exposure and there\u2019s a particularly long stint early on in the show where viewers are dragged . . .\nwith the big screen rights acquired by warner bros . six years ago , a death note movie appears to finally be on the way with the guest and you\u2019re next director adam wingard at the helm ! the hollywood reporter has the news , bringing word that wingard will take on the manga adaptation after he finishes the upcoming lionsgate horror project the woods . kiss kiss bang bang and iron man 3 writer and director shane black was , at one point , attached to the project , which aims to bring to the big screen the 13 - volume series previously adapted as both an anime and as a live - action film franchise in japan . more . . .\nsurely , you\u2019ve noticed ?

- mothers and daughters , husband and lovers - - inspired with real values . the shell seekers centers on penelope keeling - - a woman you ' ll always remember in world you ' ll never forget . the shell seekers is a magical novel , the kind of reading experience that comes along only once in a long while . at the end of a long and useful life , penelope keeling ' s prized possession is the shell seekers , painted by her father , and symbolizing her unconventional life , from bohemian childhood to wartime romance . when her grown children learn their grandfather ' s work is now worth a fortune , each has an idea as to what penelope should do . but as she recalls the passions , tragedies , and secrets of her life , she knows there is only one answer . . . and it lies in her heart .\nnot as affecting as the book , but what film ever is ? superbly acted , even by alastair mckenzie ( archie from monarch of the glen ) , this is a heartbreaking story of first love , seen from several generations . warning , you will cry , even with joy at the stunning final scenes . still , most of the film falls flat , but it is worth it for the moments of brilliance .\nstage adaptation it ' s often felt that when novels are adapted to either film or theatre they fall short of living up to the brilliance created by the writer . one example that springs to mind is joanne harris ' chocolat : a glorious book full of sumptuous detail , turned into a deeply disappointing film . not so with the shell seekers , written for stage by charlotte bingham and terence brady , which captivated my imagination from the start . although in the book each character in penelope ' s life , ( from her three children , olivia , nancy and noel , to her gardener ) , has an entire chapter devoted to them , the stage version is somewhat condensed yet loses none of the essence of the original story .\ncentral throughout the story are the paintings made by penelope ' s father , lawrence stern . lawrence was a famous painter , although over the years the popularity of his paintings diminished . recently , however , there has been an increased admiration and appreciation for his works . due to their rarity , the price for these pieces are astronomical . since penelope owns two incomplete panels in her home and one important work\u2014the shell seekers\u2014her children nancy and noel urge her to sell the works while their popularity has reached its peak . penelope balks at the idea since the shell seekers is such a sentimentally important work for her ; no amount of money can compensate for simply having it in her home .\nproduced two years ago for german television , this latest adaptation of\nthe shell seekers\nbears a more - than - passing resemblance to the recent oscar nominee\natonement ,\nand not just because both feature vanessa redgrave as a woman reminiscing about her war - torn past .\nthe shell seekers is a novel that revolves around the final months of the central character , penelope keeling . although the story focuses on penelope , there are various glimpses into other characters that are important to her . as the mother of three children named nancy , noel and olivia , each of the children ' s lives in the present are explored briefly in order to better explain their relationship with penelope .\nthe made - for - tv the shell seekers was based on the best - selling novel by rosamunde pincher . heading the cast is angela lansbury as penelope keeling , a reclusive british matron of comfortable means who suffers a near - fatal heart attack . while recovering , penelope determines that her attack was a sign of sorts , urging her to get her life in order . as she prepares to break down the barriers she has built between herself and her three children , penelope muses on her experiences during world war ii , a time in which she solidified her outlook on life . filmed in england and spain , the shell seekers was the 162nd hallmark hall of fame presentation ; it debuted on december 3 , 1989 .\nfrom the blurb :\nset in london and cornwall from world war ii to present ( 1983 ) , the shell seekers tells the story of the keeling family , and of the passions and heartbreak that have held them together for three generations . the family centers around penelope , and it is her love , courage , and sense of values that determine the course of all their lives . deftly shifting back and forth in time , each chapter centers on one of the principal players in the family ' s history . the unifying thread is an o\nit was recently made into a film and has now been adapted for the stage with an all - star cast . it was on a leisurely family holiday in france some nine years ago that i first read rosamunde pilcher ' s the shell seekers . on loan to me from my gran ' s extensive collection of fiction , i was slightly dubious as to whether it would appeal to my 17 - year - old mind . but all doubts were soon dispelled as i became engrossed in this intriguing tale of three generations .\nthe shell seekers portrays not only the pettiness and bickering so commonplace in family life but also an inner strength and durability found at the heart of tragedy . inspiring the combination of personal growth , revelation , anger , joy , artistry and the odd witticism thrown in for good measure makes this a play to inspire the imagination and stir the soul . it ' ll make you want to read ( or in my case re - read ) the original novel . now , i wonder if gran still has her copy ?\npurchased for elderly mother who remembered watching this on tv . thoroughly enjoyed watching it again . despite being an ' old ' film - quality good . received on time , packaged well and plays well .\ni bought 2 because i have seen it before and will be able to watch it when ever i wish , the other one was as a gift , they really enjoyed it . its a lovely film , well worth a watch .\nproduced two years ago for german television , this latest adaptation of \u201cthe shell seekers\u201d bears a more -

- cuts within continuous movement or dialogue , with no attempt made to make them match . the technique\nwas a little more accidental than political ,\nwrites the australian critic jonathan dawson . the finished film was 30 minutes too long , and\nrather than cut out whole scenes or sequences , godard elected to trim within the scene , creating the jagged cutting style still so beloved of action filmmakers . godard just went at the film with the scissors , cutting out anything he thought boring .\nspanish / english review : el principal problema de ' parasite eve ' es que por un lado no se sabe bien a qu\u00e9 g\u00e9nero pertenece o qu\u00e9 nos quiere contar ; eso no tiene porqu\u00e9 importar seg\u00fan qu\u00e9 pel\u00edculas , pero con obras de estilo narrativo como estas es un fallo importante .\nthis is a great low budget horror film despite its made for tv look . this horror film is pretty well made and provides the right sense of suspense and blatantly depicts the actions and situations that may occur when trust and jealousy begins to coexist . this film is about an experiment gone wrong after a scientist instructor participates in a mesmerism experiment . after a couple of days , he begins to feel weak , sleepy , and starts doing unordinary actions towards his teachings , his students , his fanc\u00e9 , and his friends . as things start to escalate , the evil one behind this situation begins to invade his environment , his brain , and his love life . i really enjoyed this film , for anyone who sees this in a video store , i suggest giving it a try , i did !\ntowards the end of the film , when the power goes out , james davidson says ' there ' s a generator out back ' , yet when he goes to start it he goes to the basement .\nthe fantastic beasts films are set in the same world as harry potter , but take place many years beforehand , with the first film taking place in 1926 , and this new sequel taking place in 1927 .\nwith the headline : orson welles ' s controversial ' citizen kane ' proves a sensational film at palace - - ' that uncertain feeling ' at music hall - - ' great american broadcast ' at roxy .\nthis is not to say that there is no audience for \u201calien : covenant . \u201d but in the age of billion - dollar - earning blockbusters , a high - budgeted film that performs just fine raises eyebrows .\nat first it seems like it ' s gonna be a found - footage film like the other movies , but at the end of the first act the camera gets smashed and then it jumps to a traditional style of filming . besides , no main characters from the first two movies appear on the third . lastly , it has more parodic elements ; it is more of a dark comedy than a horror film at times .\nkiseijuu is a movie starring sh\u00f4ta sometani , eri fukatsu , and ai hashimoto . the humanity is suffering from murders all over the globe , called\nmincemeat murders\n. high school student , izumi shinichi has a parasite living off him , having replaced his right hand , and he might be the discoverer of truth .\nit has its moments , but for a film of its genre , it ' s both a bit melodramatic and overplays the creepy sound effects . the narrative and content is actually more effective in the video game format .\nwithin the withering spotlight as no other film has ever been before , orson welles ' s\ncitizen kane\nhad is world premiere at the palace last evening . and now that the wraps are off , the mystery has been exposed and mr . welles and the rko directors have taken the much -

sounding older brother theseus , an\nauror and war hero\n.\none inside joke in the film is always mentioned , but is not really there . michel ' s alias is\nlaszlo kovacs ,\nand countless writers inform us this is a reference to the legendary hungarian cinematographer . in fact , godard had not met kovacs at the time , and the reference is to the character belmondo played in chabrol ' s\na double tour\n( 1959 ) . in a film with so many references to the past of the cinema , it is amusing to find a coincidental reference to its future .\nnice one ! tokyo , 2034 : sophisticated robots called boomers ( and on first sight almost indistinguishable from us , humans ) are among us . they are meant to assist us in the shores we despise , but more an more things go wrong and take a nasty turn . in 3 linked short stories we see a world where humanity is as much a thing of machines , as of\nbiological\nunits . parasite dolls is blade runner meets strange days in animation . especially the capturing of emotions from the boomers for pity sexual\nhuman\ngames seemed like a very interesting idea , although this was not worked out in much detail . the rest of the ideas behind the film weren ' t very original , but the 3 stories were plotted very well and the characters were nicely developed . the score helped bringing a very real\nemotional\nfeel to the film . the animations aren ' t spectacular compared to what you see in ghost is the shell for example , but they are adequate . if you have a change to see this film , i can only recommend to actually go and see it : a classic artificial intelligence story ( what ' s humanity , how about emotions , . . . ? ) that ' s very well scripted and adequately animated .\nthis blend of sci - fi and horror starts off very well , as a young doctor looses his wife to an accident , and then decides to reconstruct her through his mitochondrial research . this part is full of grandiose melodrama , set to a lush romantic score by none other than jo hisaishi . let ' s face it , no one does melodrama as expertly as the japanese . it is during the second half of the film however where the plot of the film is literally lost . the doctor stumbles upon a hidden conspiracy carried out by mitochondria since the beginning of time , and his newly reconstituted wife becomes the first vessel towards world domination . if it sounds absurd , rest assured it ' s treated with utmost seriousness here , as though people are really going to think this is possible . oh well . the commitment is admirable and the film is still rather watchable .\ncineuropa is the first european portal dedicated to cinema and audiovisual in 4 languages . with daily news , interviews , data bases , in -

to - day lives of the three of them , taking in their cramped quarters and mutual dependency , thrown back on bare existence .\nno , this is not a very good movie at all . however , i saw it when it was first released in 1982 in 3d , and not once since then , and i still remember some creepy scenes . the big gross - out in the movie - - when the dripping parasite falls down on you from the ceiling in 3d ! ! - - had me squirming in my seat in 1982 . i saw a number of films during the short - lived 3d revival of the early ' 80 ' s , and , believe me , there were very few kick - ass uses of the 3d effect anywhere , but parasite had one of the better ones . ( most of the other good 3d moments are in house of wax with vincent price . even hitchcock couldn ' t figure out what to do with the gimmick . ) by the way , in 1982 no one had ever heard of demi moore . did we predict big things for her after seeing her in this ? yeah , right .\nthe genesis of the mitochondrion was not in humans but in a species thought to be similar to bacteria . regardless , mitochondria cannot survive without the constant supply of biomolecules and environment provided by the host cell . while mitochondria are linked to certain diseases and cell death , they cannot \u201crebel\u201d . also , the concept of rebellion implies conscious action , and even under the most generous terms mitochondria would not be attributed with the level of intelligence required for rebellion , much less the fantastic powers they have in parasite eve .\nthe second film confirms it : the virus is actually the vehicle of a worm - like demonic entity which uses it to control the infected and jump its mind from one to another , and is able to talk with different voices in different bodies ( an infected 40 - year - old talking with the voice of the infected little girl is disturbing ) .\nthe closest anyone gets to an explanation in the first film is a room full of crazy covered in newspaper clips about a\nmedeiros girl\nwho seems to have been infected or possessed , a recorder that plays back some ramblings about a virus , an infected hyper - aggressive little boy and , finally , the girl herself that kills the last two survivors .\nin this gory sci - fi outing , shot and originally released in 3 - d , dr . paul dean ( robert glaudini ) is a scientist living in the near future , after america has fallen under the control of a repressive paramilitary regime . dean ' s research causes him to absorb an especially voracious parasitic worm , which feeds inside the human stomach until it becomes strong enough to burst out in search of a new host . in time , dean is able to extract the creature from his body , but soon it escapes from captivity , and dean and his friend patricia ( demi moore ) must find a way to stop it as they find themselves on the run from brutal government agent merchant ( james davidson ) and a gang of thugs led by ricus ( luca bercovici ) . parasite was demi moore ' s second film , shot while she was still a regular on the daytime serial general hospital .\nwith \u201calien : covenant , \u201d ridley scott had an ambitious new hope . \u201ci see a really huge franchise here \u2014 honestly , as big as \u2018star wars . \u2019\u201d the director told bbc 4\u2019s francine stock in an interview that aired in may , just before the film was released overseas . \u201ci\u2019m trying to open it up . this is not an innocent plan , \u201d [ \u2026 ]\nwe\u2019re still a few months away from bong joon - ho \u2018s new monster movie okja , but the snowpiercer director has already revealed his next project . the feature will be titled parasite , and although not a great deal is known yet , it will \u201crevolve around a family going through a disturbance , \u201d according to asian wiki . led by his previous collaborator song kang - ho ( the host , memories of murder ) , production will kick off in january for what sounds to be a more horror - focused outing perhaps , judging from the title . it is expected to be released in 2018 .\nnot for fox\u2019s distribution chief chris aronson , who was \u201cfeeling great\u201d sunday morning , and said the film\u2019s lower opening than 2012\u2019s \u201cprometheus\u201d was the \u201cnormal course of business . \u201d \u201cprometheus\u201d was positioned as an \u201calien\u201d prequel , and the acclaimed director\u2019s return to the franchise he created in 1979 . it went on to make $ 403 . 4 million worldwide \u2014 the highest grossing by far of the eight - film franchise ( including both \u2018alien vs . predator\u2019 movies ) . aronson , praising the \u201cefficient and proficient\u201d scott , pointed out that \u201calien : covenant\u201d was made for 27 percent less than \u201cprometheus . \u201d \u201che wanted to go back to the roots of \u2018alien , \u2019 and i think he succeeded in doing that , \u201d aronson said of what has been described by some critics as a return to form for the director .\nq . so how exactly does this affect kris and jeff ? a . well , first it costs them their life savings . when the worm is inside the thief\u2019s victims , it makes them susceptible to being put in a hypnotic trance . during this trance , the thief orders his victims to sell their possessions , take out mortgages on their houses , etc . this goes on until the victims eat , which in turn gives the parasite , currently in the stomach , food to feed on and grow , at which point the worm extends all the way to the ends of each of the victim\u2019s limbs .\nbut why isn\u2019t \u201calien : covenant\u201d earning more ? critics generally applauded it \u2014 the movie currently has a generally positive 73 percent on rotten tomatoes . then there was the film\u2019s marketing , which teased out the premise with a series of short films directed by scott for fans to pounce on and dissect . also , r - rated franchise blockbusters have become less taboo thanks to the recent success of \u201cdeadpool\u201d and \u201clogan . \u201d\nthe technique adds charm to a scene where the two drive through paris in a stolen convertible , and there is a series of closeup cuts over her shoulder as michel describes her . when the two lovers , fleeing the police , sneak into a movie , it is a scene directly quoted in\nbonnie and clyde\n- - which , we recall , both godard and truffaut were once to direct . in each case , the dialogue reflects the action ; bonnie and clyde hear\nwe ' re in the money ,\nand michel and patricia hear dialogue about a woman\ncovering up for a cheap parasite .\ngodard ' s key collaborator on the film was the cinematographer raoul coutard , who worked with him many times , notably on\nweekend\n( 1968 ) . it was only coutard ' s fourth film , and his methods became legend : how when they could not afford tracks for a tracking shot , he held the camera and had himself pushed in a wheelchair . how he achieved a grainy look that influenced many other fiction films that wanted to seem realistic . how he scorned fancy lighting . how he used hand - held techniques even before lightweight cameras were available . how he timed one shot of belmondo so that the streetlights on the champs elysses came on behind him . there is a lovely backlit shot of belmondo in bed and seberg sitting beside the bed , both smoking , the light from the window enveloping them in a cloud .\nthe film takes place in an arizona hamlet near the mexico border where a few locals earn an off - the - books income by selling ammunition to a drug cartel . there\u2019s a new sheriff in town , wallace ( patrick wilson ) , a straight - arrow prodigal son who returns to his old stomping grounds to replace leland ( ian mcshane ) , a beefy and boozy cynic with a reputation for shooting first and seldom asking questions later .\nq . who are all those other people ? the guy with the frizzy hair and the pigs , or the guy who steals all kris\u2019s money ? a . at each stage of the worm - pig - orchid cycle there\u2019s someone who profits from that stage and , unknowingly , advances the parasite to the next stage . the first person , whom the credits call the thief ( played by thiago martins ) , infects victims with the worm to brainwash them and steal their money . we see him do this to kris , and we learn that he\u2019s also done this to jeff . the second person , whom the credits call the sampler ( andrew sensenig ) , takes the worms from the thief\u2019s victims and puts them into pigs . the transfer of the worm establishes a connection between the victim and the pig , and the sampler can then use the pigs to \u201csample\u201d the victims\u2019 experiences\u2014each time he approaches a victim\u2019s pig , he can see what\u2019s going in that victim\u2019s life . the sampler is then inspired by these experiences to record music , which he sells through his record company , quinoa valley rec . co . the third person , or actually the third group of people , are the two orchid farmers\u2014the credits call them the orchid mother ( kathy carruth ) and the orchid daughter ( meredith burke ) . when the sampler disposes of pigs by bagging them and throwing them into a nearby stream , the parasite leaches out of the pigs and into white orchids , turning them blue . the two orchid farmers then pick these rare blue orchids and sell them through their company , e + p exotics . the thief then buys these rare blue orchids\u2014at the beginning of the film we can see that the flower pots he buys are labeled e + p exotics\u2014and uses the worms that come out of them , beginning the w - p - o cycle anew .\na . i mean , sorta . q . but what does it all mean ? a . carruth wants people to take away a fairly specific interpretation , though he prefers that people come to it on their own . still , when pressed at all , he\u2019s mentioned in several interviews and q & as that the film , for him , is about identity , \u201c about whether we control our identity or whether our identity controls us . \u201d he elaborated , to io9 :\nthe movie had a sensational reception ; it is safe to say the cinema was permanently changed . young directors saw it and had abandoned their notions of the traditional studio film before they left the theater . crowther of the times , who was later to notoriously despise its descendant\nbonnie and clyde ,\nsaid of\nbreathless\nthat\nsordid is really a mild word for its pile - up of gross indecencies .\nthe jump cuts to him were\npictorial cacophony .\nmodern movies begin here , with jean - luc godard ' s\nbreathless\nin 1960 . no debut film since\ncitizen kane\nin 1942 has been as influential . it is dutifully repeated that godard ' s technique of\njump cuts\nis the great breakthrough , but startling as they were , they were actually an afterthought , and what is most revolutionary about the movie is its headlong pacing , its cool detachment , its dismissal of authority , and the way its narcissistic young heroes are obsessed with themselves and oblivious to the larger society .\n\u201cit ain\u2019t never been a rat problem in baltimore . always been a people problem , \u201d says harold edmond , a member of the city\u2019s rat rubout program , in rat film . theo anthony\u2019s thrillingly unconventional documentary , however , argues that , for the last century or more , maybe it\u2019s been both \u2013 and that the two are inextricably intertwined . it\u2019s a fascinating hypothesis , and one that\u2019s laid out in daring video - essay form by the filmmaker\u2019s feature debut , which stands as one of this year\u2019s most idiosyncratic , and impressive , non - fiction works .\nan old man who bears the scars of a life of factory work . a woman , alone apart from her small baby , who moves in with him . the film sketches out the day - to - day lives of the three of them , taking in their cramped quarters and mutual dependency , thrown back on bare existence . the camera records and stages in equal measure : three bodies at the beginning of life , at its end and somewhere in between . need , self - sacrifice , decline . and again and again , the inescapable necessity to eat . along with the infant\u2019s cries , the only sounds to pierce their otherwise wordless life together are those of smacking lips , slurping and chewing , which together with the noises of their surrounding environment build to a tense crescendo . finally , a nocturnal foray out into life , a moment of great intimacy and a brief sense of release . anka and wilhelm sasnal , two of the most interesting artists working in poland today , made their third feature - length film with an actress and a man who\u2019d never acted before . its aesthetic radicalism and almost unbearable immediacy are of a strange and tender beauty .\nyet crowther conceded ,\nit is no cliche ,\nand the film ' s bold originality in style , characters and tone made a certain kind of genteel hollywood movie quickly obsolete . godard went on to become the most famous innovator of the 1960s , although he lost the way later , with increasingly mannered experiments . here in one quick , sure move , knowing somehow just what he wanted and how to obtain it , he achieved a turning point in the cinema just as surely as griffith did with\nthe birth of a nation\nand welles with\ncitizen kane .\nsegueing to okja , netflix has released a trio of new images , which feature mija ( an seo hyun ) , who has cared for the titular creature in the film , as well as tilda swinton \u2018s ceo character of lucy mirando , and then there\u2019s jake gyllenhaal as zoologist and tv personality dr . johnny wilcox . while we\u2019re still not sure what to expect , everyone involved looks to be having a great deal of fun \u2014 just look at that mustache . also starring paul dano , giancarlo esposito , steven yeun , and lily collins , check out the images and new synopsis above and below .\ni found this movie by chance and a good chance i did as i found this 80 ' s style thriller very enjoyable from start to finish . i would not say much for the story but a little entertainer for a night in with a few cans of beer . looking back i cannot say i could associate this with any film i have seen in the past but maybe there is something like it out there in somebody ' s old video collection . i would say if your an 80 ' s kid into john carpenters ' assault on precinct 13 to stephen hopkins ' judgement night , i believe you will enjoy it !\nwell , in the film the main characters are being affected at a distance by things they can\u2019t speak to . and the three points in the triangle , as far as the worm - pig - orchid cycle , each of them are performing acts that are independent of the next one in the line\u2026 they would all be dealing with things that seemingly came from \u201cupstream . \u201d and \u201ccolor\u201d \u2026 i think of it as building up a personal narrative , and the shape of that is easy , the color is what\u2019s difficult . i don ' t know if that means anything , but it seemed appropriate to me at the time .\nrat film , in other words , is not your typical documentary , and its mesmerizing electronica score by dan deacon \u2013 full of whirring , bleeping and blipping , cacophonous noise , and ominous tonal swells \u2013 only enhances its eccentricity . in an era of non - fiction efforts marked by formulaic techniques , anthony\u2019s approach is enlivening . he creates a swirl of facts , figures and symbolic photographic gestures that locate the ways in which the modern story of baltimore\u2019s rats is tangled up in the city\u2019s socio - cultural attitudes , and public policy , toward african - americans , the economically disadvantaged , and anyone else who might be deemed \u201cundesirable . \u201d\nwhy are so many modern horror films so cheesy ? honestly , this film is about an experiment that went wrong that produced oversized bacteria with teeth that look more like worms actually than bacteria and whose purpose is obviously to eat people . the acting was crap - nearly by every cast member . special effects were some of the worst i ' ve ever seen , in particular those involved in explosions and slow - motions . even some pre - 2000 video games have better graphics than that . this is not a horror movie -

the two women were the beginning and end of mefie\u2019s enemy list . this is where the story became questionable because the prince should have instantly suspected them .\nhey shenny , you are the second person to comment that oge okoye isn\u2019t in the princess tyra movie . i don\u2019t get it . she\u2019s in the movie and as you can see , she\u2019s on the dvd cover as well . are you watching a dvd ? i\u2019m just not sure why you don\u2019t see oge or why you can\u2019t get part 4 . sometimes there are distributor errors . i have personally purchased movies where the dvd had one title but the dvd was actually another movie . just recently i purchased a movie and only the beginning of the movie played and the rest of the movie was mia . it happens . you may have to go back to your point of purchase .\ntyra and joe ' s\nfirst look\n. i ' m pretty sure once they saw each other , nothing else mattered . not the freezing cold or unexpected snow or the fact that their ceremony was outside . they were in love and getting married . could anything stand in their way ? inconceivable !\nsometimes you just connect immediately with someone . and that ' s how it was when we met tyra at a bridal show last year . her huge smile and amazing personality were infectious , and when we heard of her plans to have a renaissance themed wedding in the mountains ( and the plan to have live music by one of our favorite wedding vendors - empire strings ) we were hooked .\nthe details that went into planning this beautiful wedding were truly unique . and not just because the officiant wore a hooded cloak and started the ceremony with\nmawwaige . . .\nalthough that ' s exactly what he did . the theme was carried through in every detail . from tyra ' s dress that was lovingly handmade by her mother , to joe ' s knight - like apparel ( both his and azriel ' s tabards were handmade by joe ' s mom ) , to the sixpence tyra wore in her shoe ( her mother had worn the same one in her shoe on her wedding day ) , to their custom wedding rings that were made with . . . wait for it . . . dinosaur bones and meteorite . this was an absolutely one of a kind wedding , and we loved every minute of it .\n- originality : [ 0 out of 5 ] i was trying to wrap my head around how many movies , this movie is similar to before i started typing this review and i eventually lost count ( but i will attempt to list as many as i recall ) . the movie seemed very reminiscent of another venus production , beyonce \u2013 the president\u2019s daughter , however , that had to do with presidents and this has to do with kings . hence , in an effort to draw closer to home / roots / motifs , i think i\u2019ve finally arrived at which movie this one was stolen from . the movie , princess tyra part 1 and 2 , is a rip of the 2004 movie , \u201c the orphan \u201d starring nkiru sylvanus and jim iyke . whilst the 3rd part of this movie is a rip of the 2006 movie , \u201c consequences \u201d starring ramsey noah and kate henshaw . there are also ties between this movie and \u201cworld apart\u201d and \u201ccoming to america\u201d , amongst many others .\nfast forward to the next year . tyra and joe ' s wedding day arrives . it ' s the first day of may . may day . i ' m pretty sure most people think of things like spring , flowers , may poles , and snowstorms . what ? snowstorms ? yep , it caught us all off guard . no one was prepared for ( or dressed for ) a freezing snowstorm in may . but we made the best of it , adjusted the schedule , covered the bride with an umbrella and wrapped her in a blanket whenever we could , and got some beautiful , snow - filled photos .\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 - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\na venus film productions . starring : van vicker , jackie appiah , kofi adjorlolo , kalsoume sinare , rama brew , gavivina tamakloe , yvonne nelson ; editor : dapo ola daniels ; assistant producer : ali samba ; producer : abdul salam mumuni ; executive producer : abdul salam mumuni ; director : frank rajah arase . 150 mins .\nthe princely cast of gollywood\u2019s finest really do an excellent performance here , to boot , and in fact this movie got me sold to gollywood movies . as you can see , i\u2019ve been all about nollywood , but since i discovered\n. with its fairy tale nature , this movie will take you to a fairyland where stories like cinderella may seem a joke .\nin the middle of it all is a common maid , maafia ( jackie appiah ) who massages the prince\u2019s feet in a rite once and later in a queer bathroom incident , falls under the romantic radar of the prince . we did not see the two ( prince and maid ) mate , but not long after the maid\u2019s mother dies of asthma attack , maafia leaves ilugbo kingdom in search of prince kay to report her pregnancy to him but instead meets the prince\u2019s mother , the queen , and reports her pregnancy . the queen doesn\u2019t handle this news well .\nthe story gets sticky when writer employs another plot and character , ashley to merely resemble maafia and gets ashley pregnant by the prince , and both by bizzare plot twist , meet side by side in a hospital . camera and edit can pull all kinds of tricks but this maafia look alike coming into the story sure put a damper and unbelievable feeling to the story . i marvel the fact that writer created a three dimensional character for jackie appiah\u2019s role ( maid , ashley , maafia ) , only that in narrating such a wonderful fairy tale , story and character have to be linear in nature , or not even cinderella could have survived as a timeless tale with such muddled plots . prince kay would have gone on pulling all the stops to get to his one and only cinderella , rather than easily fall for a look alike and gets her pregnant too .\nali salamy baylay is a resident of charlotte , north carolina . presently , i ' m a transportation contractor to the department of social services in charlotte . i have a certificate in radio and television broadcasting and am the owner of nubia films co . with one film in production . i ' m also the publisher of africanmoviestar . com , a web magazine which profiles and reports on african actors and reviews african films . ali is married to ophelia c . baylay and they have five children : kadie , venus , rashid , emilie - massa and ali , junior .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nwe do not collect your social information or post to your social account . you ' re in control .\nswitch banana island ghost ( b . i . g ) nothing but the truth mum , dad meet sam picture perfect\n- story : [ 4 out of 5 ] say what you may against the movie , you can not deny , however , that it was an interesting story .\n- predictability : [ 0 out of 5 ] if you\u2019ve ever seen an african movie in your lifetime then i guarantee that you can predict the ending of this movie .\n- acting quality : [ 2 out of 5 ] i got a very \u2018rigid\u2019 vibe from every other actor in this movie . many extras seemed very uncomfortable in the roles . in almost every other scene , i felt like yvonne nelson was reciting her lines . van vicker didn\u2019t half piss me off in this movie , he was actually a decent act . speaking of pissing off , o dear rama brew , if i had a stone in my hand and i was sitting on a stool whilst you were performing this ?

centered problem . they work together to correct or change the problem .\ntalk with your child about the family problem , in words she can understand .\ndo things together as a family . go on family outings , plan fun time at home , hold family meetings , play together and go to church together .\nthe family may become so disorganized it is unable to overcome the crisis . when behaviors such as these occur , families often benefit from outside professional help .\n\u201cplots set in the future are about what people fear in the present . \u201d\nwhen a family is experiencing a crisis , all its members are affected\u2014including the children . sometimes adults believe that kids do not really feel stress , but they do . some signs that your child may be stressed are :\nfan trailer from the 1985 movie\nsurviving\n. this is the very first trailer i ' ve done , so don ' t expect much . i do no own the rights to any of this footage / music .\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\ndevelop a strong social network by participating in community organizations , accepting help and supporting others .\nan inventor spurns his city life to move his family into the jungles of central america to make a utopia .\nevery family must change as their youngster approaches puberty . to become mature adults , teens must gradually get more practice in making decisions .\na developmental crisis occurs when people get married , have children , have a child start school , have a teen going through puberty , have a child leaving home , have parents retiring , aging , and / or dying . some of these changes are subtle and gradual ; others are abrupt and dramatic .\nthe name of this book is evocative . it brings to mind a skull , a chomping mechanism , a piece of primal human equipment . the dates take us into the future . the cover image is of a us $ 100 note behind a glass museum cover . and it of course references a family dynasty \u2013 the mandible family . i liked this book despite its obvious didacticism . in another writer it would annoy me . shriver says of this book that she believes that our society \u201cdodged a bullet in 2008 when the gfc occurred\u201d . she believes t\nincest has had a long literary career , marking the intersection of kinship , narrative , and nation in the united states . from charles brockton brown ' s wieland ( 1798 ) to william faulkner ' s the sound and the fury ( 1929 ) , the specter of incest has been used across literary genres and periods to bespeak a crisis in the changing symbolic romance joining that ever unenviable couple , family and nation . but , according to katie roiphe in her 1995 harper ' s article\nmaking the incest scene ,\nat the end of the twentieth century the role of incest in united states literature suddenly and dramatically changed . whereas once the specter of incest was used to symbolize a crisis in national family life , it is now the reality of incest that seems to hold the nation captive . as roiphe quotes from sapphire ' s incest novel push ( 1996 ) ,\nwe is a nation of raped children .\nwhatever the truth of that ,\nroiphe quips in response ,\nwe are certainly a nation that wants to read about them\n( 68 ) .\nfrom lionel shriver , the acclaimed author of the national book award finalist so much for that and the international bestseller we need to talk about kevin , comes a striking new novel about family , money , and global economic crisis . the year is 2029 , and nothing is as it should be . the very essence of american life , the dollar , is under attack . in a coordinated move by the\nit ' s already a reality in some workplaces and not far fetched at the time shriver wrote this .\nwhile bastard out of carolina appeared relatively early in this literary scene , its popular , scholarly , and curricular acclaim has made allison ' s novel a pivotal text in this struggle over a dominant national . . .\ni was so pleased to have won a copy of ' the mandibles : a family , 2029 -

post - apocalyptic : the us is facing a crisis caused by the lack of faith in the very foundation of its financial system . the us government defaults on all its debt and orders all gold to be recalled , the dollar is essentially worthless and replaced by the ' bancor ' as the globally preferred currency , and inflation grows so rampant that a he\nthe mandibles is both a story and a backstory of an economic dystopia . the story is that of the titular family , thrown into an economic crisis . as a novel , it ' s witty and engaging , though imperfect . there are too many characters , resulting in only a few complexly drawn ones and too many nonentities . the plot moves unevenly through the time span ( more on this later ) . however , there is a good eye towards the mundane details : food , water , toilet paper . when shriver stops showing you how much effort\nthe life of audrey marie hilley , who , in order to start a new life , took drastic action .\nthis revelation that the united states is a\nnation of raped children\nis , in roiphe ' s snide synopsis , accurate only if reading about something makes it a reality . incest narratives exemplify a new national trend for critics such as james kincaid and laura miller , who argue that sexually shocking , tabloid - style revelations were the stock - in - trade of the publishing and popular culture industry of the 1990s . according to critics of this [ end page 114 ] 1990s boom , a new cultural market in incest conflates the literary scene with the social real , producing a transformation in the traditional referents of the american family romance . in place of a literature symbolizing the link between family and nation as a prohibition against incest , in the late twentieth century it is the presumed social reality of incest that drives national literary markets . these new family romances share a singular drive toward what roiphe calls\na bargain - basement epiphany\nor a kind of\npsychological lightning\n( 68 ) . such a formal repetitiveness trains readers to experience realism as contemporaneous\nreality ,\nseducing them into a shared experiential reading that uses the literal and literalizing trope of incest to translate revelatory shock into comforting predictability . as roiphe summarizes the telos of these new family romances :\nthe entire story is reduced to a riddle , and incest is the answer\n( 68 ) .\nthese behaviors are often symptoms of the family\u2019s inability to adapt to change and to solve problems .\npat tanner nelson , ed . d . extension family & human development specialist ptnelson @ urltoken urltoken\nsometimes a bit ( too ) heavy on the economics shriver wants to get across , but the story is inventive . satirical and quite funny at times . and above all , in typical shriver -

world country ) likely enough . the response of all the characters to their narrow economic straits ( spelled ' straights ' in this book ) is passive & selfish . i kept reflecting that people in britain between 1940 & 1950 lived @ a greater level of austerity than any of these characters , & saved civilisation in its darkest hour . i had felt guilty that i ' d never read a book by lionel shriver , especially as she has won distinguished prizes . but on the basis of this book i ' d have to conclude she is a total cynic & nihilist .\ni received a free proof copy . i have read and enjoyed lionel shriver before . however i do not read dystopian novels set in the future very often so have little to compare it with . i prefer the michel faber and margaret atwood i have read though to this one . it is perhaps not fair to compare . this is set in the near future and is unsettling in that the outcomes can almost be seen on the horizon from our perspective here and now . she does not pull any punches ; at times this is quite visceral . i di\nhe hired a coyote to cross the border back into mexico . he leads adventure tours there again .\ni received a free proof copy . i have read and enjoyed lionel shriver before . however i do not read dystopian novels set in the future very often so have little to compare it with . i prefer the michel faber and margaret atwood i have read though to this one . it is perhaps not fair to compare . this is set in the near future and is unsettling in that the outcomes can almost be seen on the horizon from our perspective here and now . she does not pull any punches ; at times this is quite visceral . i did root for willing the young boy who has the cunning and initiative to save his disparate family none of which are very likeable . the downside is the didactics were too long and sometimes unfathomable especially when we got into the financial situation .\na few things can be said to have formed a cult around lionel shriver in the past few years , especially since the watershed publication of her 2003 novel we need to talk about kevin . by and large , readers have followed shriver\u2019s fictional production on account of ( 1 ) her unique repertoire of topics , i . e . her keen interest in sensitive social issues ( obesity , healthcare , gun control , marriage ) , and ( 2 ) her virtually matchless narrative voice , ever -

toys in the novel that are as common to the year 2029 as tablets and the internet are for us today .\nbeing unable to change can aggravate existing conflict and can lead to many actions that harm you or other family members . examples include cheating on one\u2019s partner , feeling suicidal , drinking too much ( alcoholism ) , physical and sexual abuse , drug use and divorce .\nlionel shriver , i decided , is more essayist than novelist . though i loved loved loved we need to talk about kevin , and i definitely appreciated the post birthday world , the rest of her books have felt like glorified and often sanctimonious rants that are frankly annoying to read . the mandibles is a finance driven treatise about a new kind of apocalypse - rather than zombies or religious uprising , the new president defaults on america ' s loans and now there is a scarcity to everything and the whole world loses it . shriver conveniently has an economics professor cast in her novel as well as a precocious child who knows a lot about , you guessed it , finance , to make sure we can have info dump after info dump to move the plot along . the characters didn ' t mean all that much to me and so their suffering didn ' t either . while shriver ' s wit and appreciation of irony were present in the work , this did little to compensate for a slog of contrived dialogue and agenda heavy narrative . the plotline itself often escaped and at times felt rather overblown . i am not sure who the intended audience is here but it sure isn ' t me .\ni am glad i took accounting classes along with working in the computer lab in college when i pick up books like this ! lionel shriver , the author of ' the mandibles ' , is obviously an intelligent writer who has kept up with current dotcom drawing - board schemes and kickstarter inventors of new products beyond cellphones and tablets ; but this densely written , post - scarcity science - fiction novel about an impoverished 2029 - 2047 united states is also a great example of a talent to postulate knowledgeably about finance and civic post - disaster planning as well . not that i am an expert on finance or civic planning beyond 101 classes ! my opinions on shriver ' s knowledge are based simply on that i can somewhat understand the imagined fictional specifics of the effects of a wall street / usa government banking crash .\nas always , shriver ' s books are challenging , harsh and thought - provoking . i found some of the financial detail a bit hard going , and it ' s hardly a feel - good book , but it was darkly funny at times and i would recommend .\ngive words to your child\u2019s feelings . sometimes children do not know they are stressed . \u201ci heard you had another fight in school today . i am wondering if you are worried about my losing my job ? \u201d\nthere are so few few books i ' ve dnfed so close to the end , which shows they achieve a special kind of badness . this is one of the most painful books i ' ve ever attempted , the characters are totally flat , moral & spiritual values nonexistent , & every episode uniformly dreary . it ' s a shame because i expect the author ' s basic economic and social beliefs are pretty close to mine , & the dystopia she creates ( with a 77 % rate of income tax and the united states reduced to the level of a thir\nwork . how hard do they have to work , how many jobs they need to do , how some jobs grow in importance , how some disappear . bots ( called also ' robs ' ) doing many jobs .\njesus , that ' s a better cast than 90 % of actual major motion pictures , yet this tv -

minute short film le manoir du diable ( 1896 ) ( aka manor / house of the devil , or the devil ' s castle , or the haunted castle ) , although it was meant to be an amusing , entertaining film .\nin an effective , scary , full - screen closeup ( placed at either the beginning or at the end of the film at the discretion of the exhibitor ) , a bandit shot his gun directly into the audience . the film also included exterior scenes , chases on horseback , actors that moved toward ( and away from ) the camera , a camera pan with the escaping bandits , and a camera mounted on a moving train . porter also developed the process of film editing - a crucial film technique that would further the cinematic art . most early films were not much more than short , filmed stage productions or records of live events . in the early days of film - making , actors were usually unidentified and not even trained actors . the earliest actors in movies , that were dubbed\nflickers ,\nsupplemented their stage incomes by acting in moving pictures .\nbernice\nbernie\nrhodenbarr is a burglar by trade , and she runs a bookstore as well . her friend carl hefler is a dog groomer . after a successful burglary , it ' s discovered that a dead body was in the house she burgled . as she ' s the only one who can be placed at the scene of the crime , she has to use her criminal skills to clear her name of the murder and avoid getting charged with the burglary .\nyaeli\u2019s mother suddenly disappears without leaving a message , leaving her alone without any means of paying the rent , despite her two jobs \u2013 one at the local resort , another at a nearby zoo . as if a missing mother and two jobs weren\u2019t enough , her house ends up being burgled , too . all of these events prove too much for her , apparently pushing yaeli to unexpectedly change her behaviour and unleash her wild side by becoming a burglar herself , too .\ngood news arrive from the other side of the ocean . felix van groeningen has been awarded as best director for belgica at this year ' s edition of the sundance film festival !\nsoon , the american mutoscope company became the most popular film company in america . they were formally renamed the american mutoscope and biograph company in 1899 ( and simply biograph by 1909 ) . they marketed their own films and their new biograph projector , thus becoming the foremost motion picture company in the us . the american mutoscope company ' s the haverstraw tunnel ( 1897 ) became its most popular film -

purpose device ( combining camera , printer and projecting capabilities in the same housing ) was more profitable because more than a single spectator could watch the film on a large screen . they used a film width of 35mm , and a speed of 16 frames per second - an industry norm until the talkies . by the advent of sound film in the late 1920s , 24 fps became the standard .\nmelies became the film industry ' s first film - maker to use artificially - arranged scenes to construct and tell a narrative story , with his most popular and influential film to date , cendrillon ( 1899 ) ( aka cinderella ) . he created about 500 films ( one - reelers usually ) over the next 15 years ( few of which survived ) , and screened his own productions in his theatre . melies wrote , designed , directed , and acted in hundreds of his own fairy tales and science fiction films , and developed techniques such as stop - motion photography , double and multiple - exposures , time - lapse photography ,\nspecial effects\nsuch as disappearing objects ( using stop - trick or substitution photography ) , and dissolves / fades . in late 1911 , he contracted with french film company pathe to finance and distribute his films , and then went out of business by 1913 .\nw . l . k . dickson ' s filming of pope leo xiii in rome , m . h . pope leo in a chair ( 1898 ) -

a peephole , flip - card device similar in size to a kinetoscope . instead of using film , a spinning set of photographs mounted on a drum inside the cabinet gave the impression of motion . this was followed by a projector - the biograph projector , that was first demonstrated in new york city in 1896 . it was the first time projected images from an american film company were shown to an american movie theatre audience . they also devised a hand - cranked camera called the mutograph ( originally called the biograph ) that didn ' t use sprocket holes or perforations in the motion - picture film . the company released its first film in 1896 , titled empire state express .\nthe first us feature film to be shown in its entirety was h . a . spanuth ' s five -

like structure that featured both a glazed roof and walls and a series of retractable blinds . it was an influential model on the development of future studios .\nit was the first narrative western film with a storyline , and included various western cliches ( a shoot -

( he is infinitely more appealing as a wife - beating sleaze in\nmortal thoughts\nthan as this film ' s super - complacent hero . ) andie macdowell is resolutely sweet in an insane role that has her making dolphin noises by the end of the film . james coburn , as the mysterious figure who recruits hudson hawk , talks to four assistants who are named for candy bars . danny aiello , as hudson ' s partner , commits heists while singing duets with hudson ( of\nside by side\nand\nswinging on a star\n) in a manner that may make one long for the sinatra rat pack , who at least did such things with good humor .\nthe corbett - fitzsimmons fight ( 1897 ) , another filmed boxing match , reported to be 100 minutes in length ( the longest film ever to be released by that date ) , and shown by the veriscope company , had its debut on may 22 , 1897 at the academy of music in new york city . some consider it the world ' s first feature film . it included all fourteen 3 - minute rounds of the bout , in addition to a 5 - minute introduction , and non - stop filming during the one - minute rest period between rounds . running commentary was provided by an expert sports announcer from the side of the ring - the first of its kind .\nnot so much that you ' d notice , not that you ' d care , unless you were part of the current art world yourself . the painter chris ofili came with me to a screening of the film , on the day that this year ' s turner prize list was announced . ofili , smarting with too much publicity , hated the film . not for bacon ' s world , but for how awful it made the the current situation feel .\nthis ,\nofili said ,\nis a movie for people who don ' t like art .\nbut then what should anyone expect ? it is a movie about the art world , which is a different thing altogether .\nwhat faint coherence the film has is ruined by unfunny throwaway humor , as if anyone here had wit to spare . some of these bits have mr . willis pointlessly naming the playing times of familiar hit records ; some refer to nintendo ; some are just plain silly , like\n673 wongs in the phone book ! hm . helluva lot of wong numbers !\nmostly unfunny film originally written for bruce willis in the main role and whoopi as the friend . the script was re - written by director wilson to put whoopi in the lead . it stops trying to be a comedy completely towards the end . i would say bruce got off easy but he was in blind date in the same year , so . . . .\nthe official line up of this year ' s venice international film festival has been published revealing marco bellocchio ' s blood of my blood and emin alper ' s frenzy being part of the official competition . light years by esther may campbell will premiere at the international critics ' week and innocence of memories by grant gee will be shown for the first time worldwide in the venice days section .\nthis is both much more , and much less , than a biopic . the film charts a relatively short period of bacon ' s life , from his meeting with dyer in 1963 , to dyer ' s suicide in paris , on the eve of the opening of bacon ' s retrospective at the grand palais in paris , in 1971 , attended by georges pompidou , the president of france himself .\ngoldberg is good in the lead , and does a axel foley routine on occasion to make the film a comedy , but it ' s either not done enough or just not amusing . while it ' s cool to see bobcat goldthwait and g . w . bailey supporting , they aren ' t given much to make this anything memorable . in the end it ' s a very cheap whodunit .\nearly jewish film pioneer sigmund lubin ( aka siegmund lubszynski ) constructed the first purposely - built movie theater in west philadelphia , pa for the national export exposition , in 1899 . lubin ' s cineograph theatre was a small , modest portable theatre built on the esplanade or midway of the fair . it was possibly the world ' s first structure erected expressly for the presentation of motion pictures . for ten cents , patrons could view\ncontinuous shows\nof the spanish - american war , reproductions of boxing matches , and several of lubin ' s own home - made productions . the film billed as\nthe sensation of the hour\nwas the dreyfus court martial scene . it was evidence of lubin ' s early work as a motion picture distributor and exhibitor , to showcase his projectors , cameras , and films .\nlove is the devil is a devilish brew of naturalism , baconesque film effects , history and gossip . it is a warped anthropological detour into the fag end of 1950s soho bohemia , dragged too far into the 1960s but it is also a tragic love story , with astonishing performances and character cameos . it was always bound to be trouble , and was inevitably going to get into trouble , even before filming began .\nthe film uses no actual shots of the paintings , though there is a dreadful prop - maker ' s painting of a toilet which dyer manages to mistakenly piss into on a drunken trip to the lavvy one night . maybury is trying to create several kinds of worlds at once , all of them equally claustrophobic . for the most part , he makes us believe these places , these people , this awful world ."]}

( and no , the ending is completely different from the ending of citizen kane , not even related in tone or meaning . )\nraiders of the lost ark is in good and bad company with this collection of films . each of them has a protagonist who failed to accomplish anything in terms of changing the direction of the conclusion of the story . that\u2019s not to say these are all terrible films . many of them are undisputed classics . but now you have a more complete perspective on each of them .\narchaeologist and adventurer indiana jones is hired by the us government to find the ark of the covenant before the nazis .\nduring a school assembly that spring , chris noticed eric again : he was up on the screen , playing a gestapo -

screen to pull off a filmmaking feat they don\u2019t know is impossible .\nover 35 years after its debut , raiders of the lost ark remains one of the most exciting , popular , and influential action films ever made . even people who haven ' t seen raiders are probably familiar with the rolling boulder that caps off the film ' s first big set piece , the film ' s face -

paced territory of raiders of the lost ark . this is a rollicking adventure that comes awfully close to matching its 1981 predecessor in terms of excitement and entertainment value , with the casting of sean connery as indy\u2019s cantankerous father nothing short of brilliant .\ngeorge lucas and steven spielberg developed the base concept for raiders of the lost ark back in 1977 , just as star wars was being released worldwide . it wasn\u2019t long before lawrence kasdan was brought on to write several drafts of the script . the entire film hinged on setting the stage for the character and the narrative in the opening sequence .\njust as \u201creturn of the jedi\u201d seemed disappointing after the first two \u201cstar wars\u201d entries , so does \u201cindiana jones and the temple of doom\u201d come as a letdown after \u201craiders of the lost ark . \u201d this is ironic , because director steven spielberg has packed even more thrills and chills into this followup than he did into [ \u2026 ]\nthe naval base where the ark is unloaded is the commercial port of la rochelle ( west coast of france ) , la pallice .\nwow . in 1978 , george lucus gathered together steven spielberg and screenwriter lawrence kasdan to go over ideas for a film lucas had wanted to make about a swashbuckling archeologist , i . e . raiders of the lost ark . their sessions were recorded and there\u2019s a transcript available online .\nin honor of the 30th anniversary of \u201craiders of the lost ark , \u201d hero complex will be screening the film on monday with an onstage q & a with steven spielberg . leading up to the event , we\u2019ve been looking back at the landmark film and its influence on cinema and pop culture . today , a trip down the toy aisle .\n2 . raiders is better than flash gordon serials , better than zorro too .\nobject of indy\u2019s dangerous quest , the ark of the covenant was a golden chest that held the ten commandments , according to the bible . the actual ark has never been found , but the movie prop gets star billing in the national geographic exhibition .\nthis impressive piece of action movie history features a custom -

down :\nkaren allen may be best known as marion ravenwood , indiana jones ' feisty love interest in raiders of the lost ark ( and bride , in 2008 ' s sequel , indiana jones and kingdom of the crystal skull ) , but she ' s also an accomplished comedic actress who had roles in national lampoon ' s animal house , scrooged , and the sandlot .\nthere was a toy line for raiders of the lost ark released in 1982 . the line was made by kenner and was a huge hit . it only lasted through 1983 . numerous action figures , vehicles , playsets , and a 12 inch indiana jones large sized action figure were released . years later , in 2001 , disney parks released an indiana jones toyline based on raiders . a second line was also released in 2003 . on may 1 , 2008 , a brand new raiders toyline hit stores in conjunction with the release of indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull .\nboth harry knowles and eli roth believe there\u2019s a movie to be made out of all this . knowles has introduced eric , chris , and jayson to several agents at icm , while roth has had casual discussions with a dreamworks executive . and so , like the other indiana jones movies , raiders of the lost ark : the adaptation may one day have a sequel of its own .\naction movies were a different breed in the pre - 1981 years than they are today , and one of the reasons for their transformation had to do with raiders of the lost ark . before this movie , james bond ruled the roost and the bond formula was the accepted path that any self - respecting action movie would follow . the first indiana jones outing changed that . the film was constructed as a series of cliffhangers with narrow , death - defying escapes . not since the era of serials have audiences so often asked the question ,\nhow ' s he going to get out of this one ?\nit ' s unfair to claim that the 007 outings were unexciting , but , compared to raiders of the lost ark , they come across as sedate . raiders transformed the action movie landscape . in the years that followed , nearly every action movie would try to generate the same sense of suspense and tension . even the bond movies would catch on .\ni don\u2019t think it\u2019s \u201ca serious movie , \u201d but just a more serious movie than raiders .\njust as\nreturn of the jedi\nseemed disappointing after the first two\nstar wars\nentries , so does\nindiana jones and the temple of doom\ncome as a letdown after\nraiders of the lost ark .\nthis is ironic , because director steven spielberg has packed even more thrills and chills into this followup than he did into the earlier pic , but to exhausting and numbing effect .\njust as \u201c return of the jedi \u201d seemed disappointing after the first two \u201c star wars \u201d entries , so does \u201c indiana jones and the temple of doom \u201d come as a letdown after \u201c raiders of the lost ark . \u201d this is ironic , because director steven spielberg has packed even more thrills and chills into this followup than he did into the earlier pic , but to exhausting and numbing effect .\nin 1981 \u2013 i was 9 years old when i saw raiders of the lost ark . some of you , though it boggles my brain , were not even born yet . however , to the crowd right now entering our thirties , heading into our mid - thirties and even stepping well into our forties and fifties\u2026 june 12 , 1981 was one of those \u2013 ohmygod moments in history . i actually saw raiders of the lost ark at a sneak preview at the fox theater here in austin , tx 4 days before it opened . that theater is now , oddly , a mercedes benz outlet . i was a maniac before and after that film , but i don\u2019t think i knew a kid that didn\u2019t want to be indiana jones .\nthe germans believe that ravenwood has the headpiece to the staff of ra needed to pinpoint the ark ' s resting place . the headpiece is a golden disk that , when affixed to the top of a shaft of specific height , focuses a beam of sunlight onto a model of tanis , an ancient egyptian city , thus revealing the ark ' s location . according to ravenwood , the pharaoh shishak stole the ark from jerusalem then buried it in the desert sands of his capital city , tanis , in the well of the souls .\nindiana jones : the complete adventures debuts on blu -

see - film award and special post festival screening .\ncadence is a more modest film that never seems to reach very high , settling for superficial characterizations and an overly familiar series of circumstances .\nthe film is a quiet rumination . although it falls under the genre of a thriller / horror , it is really more self - reflective at the film\u2019s core . while there are some graphic details within the film , there were also a number of subtler elements that made cadence more subdued and mature .\nthe film was written by emmeline kellie , who also appeared in the film , after she became uncomfortable with how many of her friends used their phones at the wheel . cadence was directed by jason rivers , with cinematography by will price and music by luke pickett .\nlasheras\u2019s process in producing the film began unusually by starting out backwards . \u201cin my mind , i started writing backwards . i found the ending for the film with the little girl [ from the bernard family whom i met ] involved in the last section of the film . then i came up with the first chunk \u2014 the main chunk of the film \u2014 that doesn\u2019t involve her and that would be the cadence movie . \u201d\nwhy is there so much classical in ' moonrise kingdom ' ? : deceptive cadence how the music of british composer benjamin britten inspired wes anderson ' s latest film \u2014 and some fanciful theories about its significance .\nthe important thing for me is not when the first one comes out but the cadence of the release pattern ,\nhe told variety .\nemotions in this film operate on a made - for - tv level ; they don ' t engage you .\ncadence is about the eponymous protagonist whose memories are fragmented by trauma and her efforts to protect herself . it is a journey through her psyche which makes her and the audience question what identity is . the entire film is based in langley , where lasheras grew up .\ncadence was completed after it made over $ 10 , 000 in crowdfunding . while budgeting is usually an issue for filmmakers who are just starting out \u2014 especially when dealing with shooting locations \u2014 lasheras found it beneficial to stay in the same place for this particular film .\nwhen asked about if he saw himself in cadence , lasheras said , \u201ci think it\u2019s inevitable , if you\u2019re making film and you\u2019re not constrained by the studio [ nor ] other interests , that your artistic voice or piece of identity is going to come out . \u201d\nthe cadence design communities support cadence users and technologists interacting to exchange ideas , news , technical information , and best practices to solve problems and get the most from cadence technology . the community is open to everyone , and to provide the most value , we require participants to follow our community guidelines that facilitate a quality exchange of ideas and information . by accessing , contributing , using or downloading any materials from the site , you agree to be bound by the full\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 .\nthis is a trailer i produced for this nifty little indie film directed by martin sheen and starring charlie sheen and laurence fishburne .\nthe movie was originally scheduled for release in december 2014 , with the third film arriving in december 2015 , which of course also didn ' t happen . after the fourth film was added to the plans , they were pushed back to december 2016 , 2017 and 2018 releases .\nwe currenly plot each film layer to a pdf for viewing . at this time , it has to be done one film layer at a time . i want to know if there is a way , either in skill or a script , to plot some , or all , of the films defined in manufacturing artwork . when you are talking about sometimes 15 - 20 film layers , it could save a lot of time .\nthere is a strong conflict between the real and unreal in this film . however , the question is more about the legitimacy of \u201crealness . \u201d who is to say that what cadence imagines is not real ? who is to say that what might be her reality is not actually part of her imagination ? it\u2019s a fascinating dynamic to witness .\nthe film is designed so that viewers become attached to the characters \u2013 an experience closer to the reality of losing a loved one in a crash .\nshort , frank film that depicts the destruction caused by a road accident has been released by the aa in an effort to curb texting - while - driving .\n\u201cit\u2019s not a conventional film by any means , \u201d said lasheras . \u201cwe had so much trouble categorizing it and finding a genre because i think it\u2019s different . \u201d\nthe core cast of the original avatar film are all on contract , so cameron ' s stars will be back in blue for the sequel when it finally hits .\nit ' s also pretty fun to tangle oneself up in\ndeep\ntheories about the significance of britten ' s music in anderson ' s film . to wit :\nthe portrayal of cadence by maxine chadburn is raw and powerful . through her characterization of the protagonist , emotions rocketed up to a wild exhilaration and happiness , then plummeted down to uncertainty and confusion , where truth and lies were inseparable .\nmaxine chadburn as cadence has delivered an incredible performance as a girl haunted by her past and terrorized by her present . she portrays her relationship with taylor perfectly . she fits the framework of cadence easily and entirely . charlie kerr as taylor lake , a caring boyfriend could have been better . david kaye and tony giroux , as the two obnoxious friends are worth watching . they are loud , irritating and brazen . they really bring out the characters at a whole new level of annoyance .\nbut the impetus to make britten integral to moonrise kingdom was all anderson ' s . the film ' s duo protagonists , 12 - year - olds sam and suzy , first meet at a rehearsal for a production of britten ' s noye ' s fludde ( noah ' s flood ) \u2014 and this opera written for a mix of professionals and amateurs proves integral to the film ' s plot .\ndeceptive cadence covers the world of classical music . hosted by tom huizenga and anastasia tsioulcas , it ' s an open space for discussion , discovery , music listening and news . want to know more ? read our introductory post . have a question or comment ? contact us .\nthe aa charitable trust funded ' cadence : one decision , a multitude of consequences ' , and hopes to use it as an educational tool . it marks the start of the aa ' s # donttextdrive campaign , a year - long project that encourages passengers to speak up when the driver is using their phone at the wheel .\nwell - meant film about the evils of racism is skewed by director - star martin sheen ' s overly sympathetic portrait of a prejudiced stockade commander who attempts to use newcomer charlie sheen to spy on his cell mates , all of whom are black . more notable for good intentions than dramatic power .\nthat cadence also sees a way out makes clear - - in case you hadn ' t seen before - - the limitations of both henry and dean ' s schemes , the schemes that have caught up irene and meredith too . even if henry doesn ' t recognize the narrowness of his view , his particularly masculine sense of entitlement , he can make out that cadence sees something else , that her skills in explaining charts and schedules to clients are valuable , that his own lack of training and circumscribed self - image might be problems . in this relationship , which only takes up a precious few minutes of screentime , at any price finds a way to examine the effects of agribusiness , and finds , as bahrani puts it , a trajectory from corporate corruptions to personal experience , a trajectory the filmmaker presented as well in his brilliant short ,\nplastic bag .\nsince then , cameron has teased us with a promised two sequels , later bumping that up to three , and the again to four , which are set to film back - to - back . it ' s a tale of delays and woe , but it still looks like avatar 2 is coming , eventually . . .\nthe direction by alexander lasheras is good , becoming a bit crude at times . the soundtrack is amazingly appealing , giving the perfect shades to the different situations . love , suspense , horror \u2013 brought out marvelously by the heartwarming music . the film has some mesmerizing cinematography and camera - work that finds beauty even in the barren landscapes .\nthe movie starts off at a slow pace , lacking luster , where we find cadence calling out her boyfriend , taylor locke , for breakfast . her tender , loving relationship with her boyfriend is depicted well enough . the plot takes a twist with the introduction of two chaotic , drunk boys \u2013 kc & jj . the sweet , romantic atmosphere turns into a chaotic one as the guys tease and play pranks on one another . overall , they bond well , but cadence seems to have an aversion to the boys . she is upset by the teasing and the pranks . during a bonfire , we first get a brief glimpse of her traumatized past where she sees a small girl staring at her . she is afraid and unsure of what she saw . slowly , as other incidents unfurl , we get tids and bits of her horrifying past and the plot complicates as her long - forgotten past comes back to haunt her .\nzoe saldana , who will reprise the role of the na ' vi princess neytiri , had only just appeared in the star trek reboot when she starred in the 2009 original film , and thanks to projects like guardians of the galaxy , she has become the biggest new star to come out of avatar \u2013 as well as cornering the market for playing aliens of various hues .\ncameron has teased some details of the plot of avatar 2 in the years since the first film , which will deal with ' familial and imprisonment ' themes , whatever that means . the filmmaker has also been keen to point out that the films can all stand on their own , just in case you ' re one of the three people who didn ' t see the original .\nthis isn ' t to say that you might map directly that plastic bag ' s pursuit of identity and community onto dean ' s or henry ' s , cadence ' s or even meredith ' s . it is to say , though , that the troubling effects of corporate culture are pervasive , in iowa farming country as in urban centers . the question may be , whether those effects must always be overwhelming and inevitable , or whether , as rollergirl once wondered , another sort of structure , familial , generous , and mutually supportive , might be constructed within .\nhenry ' s unable to slow down , his increasing turmoil , his lack of direction , indicated in his brief sojourns with meredith , his abject lies to irene , and his abstracted , mostly unthinking dollops of advice to dean . as the son in turn resents the father ' s efforts , the film follows an increasingly melodramatic trajectory , as dean and henry compete , debate , and eventually find some very disturbing common ground .\nsci - fi goddess sigourney weaver and bad guy stephen lang will be back too , despite the fact that both their characters died in the first film . weaver says that she will be a wholly new character , which , if true , would be a choice as strange as giving the na ' vi those weird tail things that let them plug into other animals . so we guess there ' s a sort of precedent , at least .\nmusic by british composer benjamin britten plays a surprisingly prominent role in moonrise kingdom , the newest film directed by wes anderson ( who also co - wrote the movie with roman coppola ) . anderson ' s output frequently features excellent and often obscure tunes thanks to music supervisor randall poster , from seu jorge ' s david bowie covers in the life aquatic with steve zissou to kishore kumar and asha bhosle singing\ntypewriter , tip , tip , tip\nin the darjeeling limited .\nsetwindow pcb trapsize 26899 setwindow form . vf _ vis form vf _ vis colorview _ list film : fab1 setwindow pcb plot setup setwindow form . fpfileplotsetup form fpfileplotsetup fpplotmirror no form fpfileplotsetup done setwindow pcb plotwint initialize\nadobe pdf\nplotwint orientation 2 plotwint papername\n11 x 17\nplotwint scale 100 plotwint copies 1 plotwint defaultsource 15 plotwint printquality 600 plotwint color 2 plotwint execute skill skill ' renamefile (\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / allegro . pdf\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / fab1 . pdf\n) ' skill exit setwindow form . vf _ vis form vf _ vis colorview _ list film : fab2 setwindow pcb plotwint initialize\nadobe pdf\nplotwint orientation 2 plotwint papername\n11 x 17\nplotwint scale 100 plotwint copies 1 plotwint defaultsource 15 plotwint printquality 600 plotwint color 2 plotwint execute skill skill ' renamefile (\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / allegro . pdf\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / fab2 . pdf\n) ' skill exit setwindow form . vf _ vis form vf _ vis colorview _ list film : asy1 setwindow pcb plotwint initialize\nadobe pdf\nplotwint orientation 2 plotwint papername\n11 x 17\nplotwint scale 100 plotwint copies 1 plotwint defaultsource 15 plotwint printquality 600 plotwint color 2 plotwint execute skill skill ' renamefile (\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / allegro . pdf\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / asy1 . pdf\n) ' skill exit setwindow form . vf _ vis form vf _ vis colorview _ list film : asy2 setwindow pcb plot setup setwindow form . fpfileplotsetup form fpfileplotsetup fpplotmirror yes form fpfileplotsetup done setwindow pcb plotwint initialize\nadobe pdf\nplotwint orientation 2 plotwint papername\n11 x 17\nplotwint scale 100 plotwint copies 1 plotwint defaultsource 15 plotwint printquality 600 plotwint color 2 plotwint execute skill skill ' renamefile (\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / allegro . pdf\nc : / postprocess / projects / cam350 / asy2 . pdf\n) ' skill exit\nit ' s this ambiguity that makes meredith so compelling and also so frustrating . for even as she has trouble envisioning what she wants , the film can ' t come up with ideas either . and so she remains what she is at the start , the restless mistress of industrial farmer henry whipple ( dennis quaid ) . he ' s pressed up against her in his office , their faces obscured even as you view them through a window . as they finish the sex part , he goes on about his current crisis , his failing business and his concern that he ' s letting his father down . this on top of what you already know about henry , that he has two sons who don ' t want to take up the business , one gone off mountain -

possession of , say , catherine denueve in belle de jour , but the film is never as dire or embarrassing as nine and a half weeks or last tango in paris , and does not deserve to join them in the dustbin of cinema history . romance has many brilliant and bizarre moments , particularly the brutally explicit imagery juxtaposing the penetrations of sex and childbirth .\n( 1922 ) \u2014 were not as profitable as his first , they were not failures . only his last film \u2014\nsandra gathercole , \u201cthe best film policy this country never had , \u201d cinema canada ( june 1978 ) , 28\u201331 .\nkatherine monk , weird sex and snowshoes : and other canadian film phenomena ( vancouver : raincoast books , 2001 ) .\nof course the film is french . it is said that for the french , wine takes the place of flirting , dining takes the place of seduction , smoking takes the place of foreplay and talking takes the place of sex .\nromance\nis so analytical that you sometimes get the feeling marie is putting herself through her sexual encounters simply to get material for her journal . these poor guys aren ' t lovers , they ' re case studies .\nthe canadian cooperation project helps to explain why , during the 1940s and 1950s , there was virtually no feature film production in canada outside of qu\u00e9bec ( see the cinema of qu\u00e9bec ) . however , thanks to the economic boom in canada following the second world war , a number of small , independent producers began to establish themselves , making primarily industrial films and shorts . in 1941 , nat taylor founded the trade magazine canadian film weekly , and in recognition of the nascent private film sector , the canadian film awards were established in 1949 . ( the canadian film awards would become the genie awards in 1980 and the canadian screen awards in 2012 . ) the inaugural presentation was held in ottawa , and crawley films of ottawa won the first film of the year award for the short film , the loon ' s necklace ( 1949 ) .\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 .\nnational film board of canada watch full -

up ejaculation shot there is very little here likely to cause too much offence \u2013 although there is a birth scene that feels like it was designed totally to shock but just feels unnecessary \u2013 especially when put up against other extreme movies like baise moi or nymphomaniac , a film that has similar themes but fleshes them out in a more satisfactory way .\nthe visuals are incredible , proving once again why film is the transcendent visual medium , and how a picture can explore so much more than words . rounding off the film , and truly cementing it as worthy of watching , is a tremendous performance from don cheadle as the homicidal mouse , a friend of washington\u2019s who acts as a spark to the powder keg situation . he steals the film with his performance .\nzero\u2019s unique problem creates a real dramatic and intriguing puzzle for the writers to work round , but in fact it becomes the film\u2019s strength .\napply the film classification system administered by the classification board and ensure that films classified as m or ma are shown only at designated times .\nonly one english canadian feature film was made in the 1940s \u2014 bush pilot ( 1946 ) , an imitation of hollywood\u2019s captains of the clouds ( 1942 ) . a print of the film was restored by the national archives ( now library and archives canada ) and tmn television network .\nledger is a magnetic presence and carries the film , although he is ably supported by romantic interest rose byrne . the film undercuts its gritty , serious edge by having jimmy\u2019s dead older brother act as a zombie guardian angel throughout , firmly putting the film into tongue in cheek territory , but also playing up the realism of the grimier side of sydney well . a searing soundtrack led by the mighty powderfinger doesn\u2019t hurt , either .\ni would say this film would qualify as pornography if it were the least bit erotic , but it isn\u2019t . i have heard it compared to\n) and the world\u2019s first movie studio to rely entirely on artificial light ( in new york city ) , it is almost impossible to speak of a canadian film industry at the birth of cinema . the first public screening of a film in canada took place on 28 june 1896 , in\nmaking full use of its american wilderness location , this film has style , panache and the right amount of crazy you\u2019d expect from the talent involved .\nmanjunath pendakur , canadian dreams and american control : the political economy of the canadian film industry ( detroit : wayne state university press , 1990 ) .\ntold via a series of non - linear flashbacks , the film traces the career of slade and his collaborator / lover curt wild ( ewan mcgregor ) . a surreal citizen kane - inspired visual feast , the film is dazzling , metaphorical , and hallucinatory . working as a better biopic of the talents of the 70s then a straightforward film ever could , velvet goldmine is the best representation of glam - rock we\u2019ll ever likely to see on - screen .\nromance ,\nwritten and directed by catherine breillat , became notorious on the festival circuit this autumn because it is an intelligent , radical film by a woman , and at the same time it contains explicit nudity and , as nearly as we can tell , actual sex . it is not arousing or pornographic , because the sex isn ' t presented in an erotic way ; it ' s more like a documentary of a dogged woman ' s forced march toward orgasm , a goal she is not sure she values . marie narrates the film herself and also seems to be reading pages from her journal ; she is baffled by herself , baffled by men , baffled by sex . even after climax , her hand closes on air .\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\naustralia ' s censorship system is often the subject of controversy . in recent years there has been debate over the classification of films such as hannibal , lolita and romance , as well as the proposal to replace the ' x ' category with ' nve ' ( non - violent erotica ) and the introduction of internet censorship . there have also been recent changes to the censorship legislation and a review of the classification guidelines is currently being undertaken .\nor maybe that\u2019s not quite what it is about as writer / director catherine breillat never really makes a clear point with the film . the story , such that it is , does show promise in several different places as marie strives to break free from her asexual partner , in the physical sense at least , but with the way the character is written the film becomes very frustrating as marie wants sex , then she doesn\u2019t , then she does but not looking at who is doing the deed , and so on . it may be part of her journey of dicovery but the slow pace and marie\u2019s flip - flopping decisions carry on right up until the end of the film and then there\u2019s no real resolution . yes , there\u2019s an ending but what does it mean ? why did it have to go the way it did ? not sure and , based on the narrative of romance , neither is catherine breillat .\nmorris , magder and handling . r . the canadian encyclopedia .

not so much . the title is completely misleading . there ' s actually very little romance to be found . instead , we are witness to a woman ' s spiraling decline into self - degradation as she chisels away the last remnants of her self - respect through an endless parade of carnal encounters . the problem here isn ' t with the direction or the performances , it ' s the shallowness of the material . there ' s no balance . there ' s not a single likeable character in the lot . it ' s difficult to care about characters you don ' t like and this screenplay never gives us a reason to like any of them . maybe that ' s exactly what breillat wants , she wants to populate her work with distasteful beings that you can ' t identify with or relate to . if so then i have to believe that her target audiences are serial killers and sadomasochistic sociopaths . this film is dark , pessimistic and depressing , anything but romantic .\nat its peak in 1925 , the ompb distributed 1 , 500 reels of film per month , using 28mm , non - theatrical safety stock in order to avoid the fire hazard posed by 35mm nitrate stock . its distribution system became outdated in the late 1920s when 16mm film stock replaced 28mm . after becoming inefficient and irrelevant , the ompb was shut down in october 1934 . however , it established a legacy of government involvement in canadian filmmaking which would become a defining feature of the canadian film industry .\nother prominent women filmmakers emerged with their own distinctive visions . mina shum ' s delightful double happiness ( 1994 ) captured the dilemma of a young chinese -

com made before or since .\ntheatre ownership was traditionally the most lucrative sector of the film industry , with the theatre owner typically taking 50 per cent of every ticket sold . because of the high cost of film production , widespread distribution is vital to a film ' s commercial success . in the 1920s , the major hollywood studios ( paramount , rko , 20th century fox , mgm and warner bros . ) adopted a vertically - integrated model of ownership , combining production and distribution under one umbrella . the majors then aligned themselves with the large national theatre chains in order to guarantee an outlet for their product , in some cases purchasing theatre chains outright .\nunder the constitution the commonwealth government has the power to make laws with regard to telecommunications ( including broadcasting ) and imported material , but not locally produced matter . the latter is under the jurisdiction of the state governments . censorship provisions have thus varied according to the nature of the material ( tv , film , print etc . ) and the state or territory . a commonwealth film censorship board was first established under the provisions of the customs act in 1917 . in 1949 western australia , queensland and tasmania signed agreements with the commonwealth to delegate their film censorship powers and functions to the commonwealth . the other states eventually followed suit .\npersonally , i think this film should be on everyone\u2019s list of favourite films , but time and time again i\u2019m amazed by the amount of people , including coen brothers fans , who haven\u2019t seen this masterpiece . based loosely on the works of pulp writer dashiell hammett , this film noir set in prohibition - era america details a power struggle between two rival gangs , in which gabriel byrne finds himself in the middle of .\na complex film within a film , the simple set - up of a rich man bored with his life becoming entangled in a game which may or may not be real acts as a launch - pad for fincher to have a lot of fun . the game rewards repeat watches in a way few films do , as each viewing offers new clues and perspectives on what is or is not reality for michael douglas\u2019s lead character .\nthe growth of canadian nationalism around the first world war promoted a brief flurry in canadian production and other aspects of the film industry . the first widely released canadian newsreels appeared , and feature film production expanded , as did the canadian - owned allen theatres chain and associated distribution companies . the motion picture bureaus established by the ontario government in 1917 , and the federal government in 1918 , also contributed to the boom in activity .\nt must have been a while since mainstream cinema audiences were invited to view a young woman submitting to be tied up by an older man ( her employer , as it happens ) , the cord tied between her legs , through her vagina and pulled up good and tight : the unlovely impress of rope on genitalia represented in unforgiving close - up . then the young woman interrupts the process in tears , not through rage at phallocentric oppression in life and art - nothing so dated - but rather anger at her own timid refusal of this adventure and naturally a vertiginous sense of the profound\nenigma\nin female sexuality . this is the burden and the song of romance , catherine breillat ' s opaque essay in eroticism , a film controversial for its explicit portrayal of male arousal : a pink orchard of erect penises .\ni\u2019m going to come out and say it : jackie brown may well be quentin tarantino\u2019s best film . it\u2019s certainly his most confident \u2013 the one and only time where he let the film tell its own story , free from any tricks or genre play . it was a shame that jackie brown was so poorly received , as it pushed tarantino further down his pastiche / homage path , which is starting to veer into self - parody .\npierre v\u00e9ronneau , peter morris , piers handling\nhistory of the canadian film industry\nthe canadian encyclopedia . eds . andrew mcintosh and wyndham wise . toronto : historica canada , 2012 . web . 9 jul . 2018 .\nkevin spacey\u2019s debut film as a director is a classic underrated movie worthy of your recognition . pretty much ignored and dismissed upon release ( even earning faye dunaway a razzie nomination ) , it\u2019s actually a well - acted and tightly put together crime film , only let down by its script . matt dillon , gary sinise , and william fichtner are robbers who flee to a bar after a hold - up goes wrong and then seemingly cornered by the police .\nin the early 1980s , the film industry in canada was on shaky ground , almost wholly dependent upon government financing and unable to secure screen time in canadian theatres . francis fox , the liberal federal minister of communications , issued the national film and video policy in 1984 , and the cfdc was transformed into telefilm canada with a $ 35 - million broadcast program development fund to reflect its new dual orientation : funding television programs as well as theatrical feature films .\nthere is a fantasy scene in\nromance\nwhere a woman ' s body is divided by a wall . on one side , from the waist down , she is in a brothel . on the other side , from the waist up , in a delivery room . what is the message of the scene ? don ' t be too sure you know . i know i don ' t . it isn ' t some kind of simplistic message linking childbirth with misuse by men . the woman having the fantasy isn ' t really against the activities on either side of the wall . maybe the scene is intended as an illustration of her own confusion about sex .\ni enjoyed ( not exactly the right word ) this film more than a real young girl , as i felt it had more to say about intimacy , the lack thereof , and the lengths we are willing to go to obtain it .\neuropean film industries also faced the threat of hollywood domination in the 1920s , but most governments moved quickly to protect their domestic industries by controlling ownership of exhibition and distribution companies , or by stimulating national production . canada took no comparable action .\nbeginning in the early 1970s , regional film cooperatives \u2014 such as the toronto filmmakers co - op ( 1971\u201379 ) , the atlantic filmmakers cooperative in halifax ( 1974\u2013 ) and the winnipeg film group ( 1974\u2013 ) \u2014 began to train young filmmakers who remained committed to the concept of a cultural cinema . from the early 1980s to the late 1990s , a generation of talented independent filmmakers began to emerge , further aided by the introduction in the mid - 1980s of provincial funding agencies .\nultimately , after going to extreme lengths in her quest to make paul the lover she wants him to be , marie comes to some conclusions about where the power in the relationship lies . because the film has , up to this point , been chock full of images that stretch the boundaries of what can be depicted in a \u201cmainstream\u201d film , the ( ahem ) climax must be even farther beyond the pale . it doesn\u2019t disappoint , as the exclamations among the audience i was in proved .\ncatherine breillat ' s career has been a treatise on sexuality and womanhood , even her films that aren ' t explicity sexual like sleeping beauty or abuse of weakness are informed by things like menstruation and sub / domme flourishes . romance falls easily in line with pictures of her past like a real young girl as it is very overtly about a woman ' s sexuality and how it connects itself with her feelings of love from her celibate ( unless for child rearing ) boyfriend whom she loves dearly , but becomes increasingly frustrated with as time passes . her relationship with him leads her into many trysts with her other men that finally ends with her on the other end of sexual punishment with a man whose ideas of sexuality\u2026\nhowever , the situation is definitely not what they initially think it is , and every character has a role to play in the proceedings . with a leading trio of that calibre , it\u2019s easy to see where the film gets its power from , as the intensity of the performances really is something to behold , if occasionally veering into a melodrama . spacey keeps things at a tight pace though ( the film clocks in at 97 mins ) , and the energy and claustrophobia of the piece really is exemplary .\nafter 1912 , film companies in several canadian cities began producing fiction as well as factual films . in halifax , the canadian bioscope company made the first canadian feature , evangeline ( 1913 ) , based on the longfellow poem about the expulsion of the acadians . it was a critical and financial success . the company made several other less successful films before folding in 1915 . the british american film company of montr\u00e9al , one of several short - lived companies in that city , produced the battle of the long sault ( 1913 ) . in toronto , the conness till film company made several comedy and adventure films from 1914\u201315 , and in windsor , on , the all red feature company produced the war pigeon ( 1914 ) , a drama about the war of 1812 .\nwhile massively panned upon initial release , and subject to well - documented production troubles , it seems that after every new film released in the alien franchise , alien 3 keeps on looking like a better and better movie by comparison . but is it just the fact that the following movies were either so poor ( resurrection , alien vs predator ) or baffling ( prometheus ) that makes alien 3 seem like a worthy alien film ? not quite , as david fincher\u2019s debut genuinely stands up as a great ( if flawed ) sci - fi horror film with engaging and thought - provoking themes , as well as being a worthy follow - up to alien and aliens . it couldn\u2019t match those films , but it tries to do its own thing , and succeeds with aplomb .\nand yet the film has an icy fascination . perhaps it is a test of how men and women relate to eroticism on the screen . i know few men who like it much ( sure proof it is not pornographic ) . women defend it in feminist terms , but you have the strangest feeling they ' re not saying what they really think . at a screening at the toronto film festival there was some laughter , almost all female , but i couldn ' t tell if it was nervous , or knowing .\nlooking back at hollywood mega - star will smith\u2019s career , it is probably this film which laid the bedrock for his future success . very simply , without his stand - out performance in six degrees of separation , smith would have been regarded as nothing more than a popular tv star / rapper trying his luck in a few films . that he aced this dramatic role so well made the film industry sit up and take note , and led to his becoming one of the most bankable stars of the last few decades .\ndouglas himself offers one of his finest performances , getting the audience to genuinely invest in a billionaire with the perfect life , and fincher\u2019s control of dramatic suspense , wit and pulp conventions is second to none . we revisited the film in more detail , here .\nshot in mexico and slovakia , the film looks great , and you can tell that pearce and carlyle are clearly relishing their roles . the sense of isolation heightens the tension , and the incredible score by michael nyman and damon albarn only adds to this ominous mood .\nwith a viable , emerging industry beginning to produce critically acclaimed films , and with english and french filmmakers looking to government to protect their fledgling interests , in 1967 the federal government took a significant step towards investing in a domestic industry by creating the canadian film development corporation ( cfdc , now telefilm canada ) , funded with $ 10 million to develop a feature film industry that would last . however , the cfdc only concerned itself with production , and did not attempt to break the stranglehold american interests had over canadian commercial distribution or exhibition .\nwhat is alienating , though , is catherine breillat ' s pedantic insistence on the oppressive and all - important mystery of female sexuality . there is something cold in her vision : the notion of simple pleasure is sacrificed to this brow - furrowing pursuit of a meaning which infinitely recedes . marie is always fretting :\ni am a hole - i disappear in proportion to the cock taking me .\nreally ? well , marie , i would say you ' re not getting out enough , but that can ' t be the problem . peering into a supposed mise en abyme of female sexuality is a killjoy approach which renders simple , unexamined pleasure inauthentic . finally , audiences may revolt - not at romance ' s explicitness , but at its strange whiff of puritanism .\nfull disclosure \u2013 i didn\u2019t like this film when i first saw it . in fact , i\u2019ve never even been much of a kubrick fan . perhaps it\u2019s because i\u2019m getting older , but i\u2019m gradually going through the back catalogue and really appreciating his work . case in point : his last film , notorious for featuring a sexed up tom cruise and nicole kidman . i was left bored and unimpressed on my first few viewings , but catching it again recently i can definitely see what kubrick was trying to achieve , and how close he came to making it work .\nthe deadline hollywood blog reported on this year ' s event , held in october for more than 150 people including representatives from the top talent agencies in town , def jam recordings co - founder russell simmons , and top executives from several fox - owned tv and film business divisions .\nfourteen years on , and the film more than holds up , long outlasting initial criticism that it was marketed at an audience far too young for its violent themes . as well as a young kirsten dunst , the film\u2019s notable acting talent is in the voice roles of the toys . tommy lee jones is chip hazard , leader of the gung - ho and ultimately villainous commando elite , while frank langella plays archer , leader of the peaceful and noble gorgonites . with stunning special effects , mini - mayhem , and exciting set - pieces , small soldiers is a treat .\ndoes live up to its hype . it\u2019s got explicit sex all over the place . body parts engaged in activities normally limited to videos the local blockbuster won\u2019t carry are on full display . it\u2019s all treated very unlike anything in american film . the way nudity and sex is handled is refreshingly unrestrained .\nanother tense crime thriller stunningly overlooked on release , it was only the word of mouth success of one false move on video that led to it gaining a theatrical run ( can you imagine that happening today ? ) , propelling it into the hearts of many , including legendary film critic gene siskel .\nwe ' ve con air to thank for this film . yep , while screenwriter scott rosenberg was waiting to hear back about his script for the soon - to - be action classic , he realised he was more interested in the story of his friends\u2019 lives , and their angst as they turned 30 .\nfor a film to qualify as canadian , it had to be at least 75 minutes long , have at least one producer and two - thirds of the \u201cabove the line\u201d creative team who were canadian , and perform at least 75 per cent of the production and post - production services in canada . the tax shelter approach echoed the conclusion of the tompkins report , issued by the secretary of state in 1976 , which argued that , since american control of canada\u2019s theatrical marketplace made it virtually impossible for canadian films to turn a profit domestically , the canadian film industry should focus instead on producing commercial products for export .\nremember when katie holmes was cool ? well she was once , and it was in this film . told in non - linear fashion and across several different viewpoints , this doug liman - directed comedy thriller was dismissed by some as \u2018junior pulp fiction \u2019 , but it\u2019s actually much better than that description might imply .\nfrom the beginning , the regulation of film content , distribution and exhibition was a provincial matter , with each province setting its own standards and practices . in 1911 , ontario established the first board of censors in north america and manitoba passed an act that delegated film censorship to the city of winnipeg . british columbia , alberta and qu\u00e9bec established active censor boards in 1913 , and manitoba founded a proper provincial board in 1916 . ontario ' s board , considered to set the gold standard across north american jurisdictions , banned the excessive display of the american flag when the united states failed to join the war effort in europe until 1917 .\na decision against the us cartel would have been a historic turning point for the future of filmmaking in canada . apart from the work of associated screen news and government production ( which also suffered funding cutbacks during the depression ) , by the 1930s the canadian film industry had become virtually a branch plant of hollywood .\nthis optimistic period of expansion was led by a number of enterprising producers : george brownridge , principal promoter of canada ' s first film studio , adanac films ( opened in trenton , on , in 1917 ) and producer of three features including the anti - communist the great shadow ( 1919 ) ; l\u00e9o - ernest ouimet , a producer , exhibitor and distributor who established the country ' s first film exchange in 1903 and opened canada ' s first luxury theatre in montr\u00e9al in 1907 ; blaine irish , head of filmcraft industries , producer of the feature satan ' s paradise ( 1922 ) and of two successful theatrical short film series ; bernard norrish , first head of the canadian government motion picture bureau and later head of associated screen news ; charles and len roos , producers , directors and cameramen of many films , including the feature self defence ( 1916 ) ; and a . d .\ncowboy\nkean , an early cameraman and producer .\nhad a very different impact on the film industry in qu\u00e9bec , where the limited market for french - language films provided investors with no incentive to invest in them . as manjunath pendakur has explained , \u201cin 1978 and 1979 , two - thirds of the films made in qu\u00e9bec were produced without benefit of the tax shelter . film directors who in the 1960s helped put canada on the world map \u2014 such as claude jutra , gilles carle , michel brault , denys arcand \u2014 were unable to get financing to make any french - language films . \u201d only three per cent of feature films produced in canada from 1978 to 1981 were in french .\nin 1997 atom egoyan ' s the sweet hereafter won the grand jury prize , the international critics prize and the ecumenical award at the cannes film festival , making it the most honoured canadian film ever to play the festival . it was nominated for academy awards for adapted screenplay and best director , the first for a canadian director . in 2001 , zacharias kunuk \u2019s atanarjuat ( the fast runner ) , the first dramatic feature to be shot entirely in inuktituk with an all - inuit cast , won the cam\u00e9ra d ' or at cannes . in 2004 , denys arcand \u2018s les invasions barbares / the barbarian invasions ( 2003 ) won the academy award for best foreign language film , another first for a canadian . four canadian films in the next eight years earned oscar nominations in the same category : mehta\u2019s water ( 2006 ) ; villeneuve\u2019s incendies ( 2010 ) ; falardeau\u2019s monsieur lazhar ( 2011 ) ; and kim nguyen \u2019s rebelle ( war witch ) ( 2012 ) .\nthe first time i saw this film , i was bored . rewatching it ten years later , i was seriously impressed . a sci - fi tale set in a future where gene - coding is rife , and parents can buy their children\u2019s future success before birth , ethan hawke plays vincent , a non - modified human attempting to get on the space program . a film / tech - noir , the plot details vincent\u2019s attempts to evade being found out , while using genetic samples from a paralysed \u2018valid\u2019 ( a career best jude law ) to do so , while also evading the attentions of an ongoing murder investigation at the gattaca space program .\nfor those unaware of the greatness of toy soldiers , let me explain it thusly . imagine home alone but with terrorists instead of inept burglars , and rebellious prep school boys instead of a precocious blonde child . interested ? good , then throw out the slapstick comedy and you\u2019ve got yourself a high - concept 90s action film .\nwhat makes this film so incredible , though , is nick nolte\u2019s hulking , dominating performance as mike brennan . pot - bellied and moustached , nolte owns the screen with a powerful intensity , making an unlikeable character mesmerising and unforgettable . you\u2019ll find yourself thinking about his titanic performance long after the credits roll , it\u2019s that good ."]}

age stepsisters when one dies and the other spends 17 years in prison as well as a story of forgiveness . it stars li jun as tao xiaolan , a young woman whose accidental murder of her stepsister leads to a seventeen year prison sentence ; li bingbing as chen jie , a prison guard who takes pity on xiaoqin and helps her find her parents ; liu lin as yu xiaoqin , xiaolan ' s stepsister together with liang song and le yeping as the parents of the said stepsisters . seventeen years has two divorced single parents marry , each bringing with them a teenage daughter . xiaoqin , mother ' s daughter , is strong - willed and proudly working - class , intending to get a job in a factory when she finishes school . xiaolan , a bit younger and father ' s child , is more intellectual and hopes to go on to college . one day , a petty argument between the step - sisters over some change turns ugly ; xiaolan hits xiaoqiun over the head with a stick , and to the shock of everyone xiaoqiun dies . xiaolan is convicted of murder and sentenced to a long stay in prison ; after 17 years , a handful of prisoners are released on furlough for new years , including xiaolan . when xiaolan ' s parents don ' t arrive to pick her up , she ' s left stranded ; a guard , chen jie , takes pity on xiaolan and offers to give her a ride home . however , they soon discover xiaolan ' s home has been torn down and her folks have moved . chen jie is determined xiaolan will spend new year with her family , though xiaolan herself starts to wonder if they have any desire to see her . seventeen years is a great emotional movie . it tells us how people are affected by tragedy and how forgiveness can be extremely difficult in some situations . also , it tells us that it is a situation that something should be prepared for , letting go of the past and it is an emotion of healing as well . it is easier said than done . aside from that , it also tells us a touching story of a reunion between parents and prisoner . the greatest characteristic of this movie is it does not fall into the trap of trying to act and shoot scenes with over - the - top emotions . subtlety and simplicity were its greatest assets . that is why is makes it a highly recommended movie .\nit is also nice to see bit unconventional prison guard to be so selfless and give her just as short vacation time to help out an inmate , instead of celebrating new years with her parents as originally planned .\n\u201cwe were now independent and had enough money to get together , \u201d he said . \u201cafter years of talking to her but never seeing her , i thought it would be a natural extension of our relationship . \u201d\nduring the car ride back to the airport , ms . champion and mr . cooper sealed nine years of friendship , and a promise to continue chatting , with a long -

maker .\nwell into his 70s , andre techine delivers his most youthful film yet , a tale of burgeoning gay romance co - written by celine sciamma .\n. i don ' t think either of them will be big hits , but one of them has to be the target film . i think\nthis is an excellent film . i loved the ending . somehow , i love prison films . the protagonist being a heroine made the film more versatile and more emotional . arguably , the film breaks - off from the moment tao lan hits her sister with the stick , thereby confirming a murder and hence sentencing her self to imprisonment for 17 years . the expression of guilt and anxiety that tao lan experiences affects till the end of the movie . the scene where tao lan returns home to see her family for the new years day ( with the help of the officer ) was absolutely stunning . the feeling of regret , depression , forgiveness and this sense of\ncan ' t i still be a human ? cant i still live ?\nis profoundly what attracted me . further , the tension and the contradiction , and above all , the indicisiveness between forgiveness and hate is played out by her father . the visual effects were also brilliant in that it assisted the film to give this very effect ( the father getting old , moving slowly , incapable of speaking , etc ) . perfect choice of a family disaster made into film . highly recommendeed .\ni would not want to waste time here on plots and other comments about the story , which you can find by looking at other posts . what i want to point out here is that the chinese title is as equally philosophical as the english one : 17 years implies the 17 years of totalitarianism , after which humane side is finally appearing . the chinese title has the literal translation as going home on new years , and it needs more explanation : in the chinese tradition , the new year is the time when all family members get together , reflection on the story of the protagonist being released from jail to go home to unite with his parents .\n, technically correct is the best kind of correct . ) the film was a little more front -

politically relevant than zhang ' s previous work , the official seal hardly weakens the movie ' s strong emotional content , centered around the reconstitution and reevaluation of traditional family values in the age of chinese neo - capitalism . enlisting the talents of top writers yu hua and zhu wen also guarantees a deeply felt drama with real characters . zhang ' s sudden leniency towards the censorship board must be weighed against the opportunity to shoot parts of the movie within the walls of a chinese prison , thus allowing the director to include a subtle and indirect critique of societal and personal repression in modern china .\nthis year the panel was headed by walter shenson , a veteran producer and member of the academy for 48 years . he made such comedies as\nthe mouse that roared\nand\na hard day ' s night .\nwhen enjoying a film outside of the hollywood genre , i must avoid the trappings of comparison which will ultimately elevate my perception of the quality of the movie . once i was immersed in seventeen years , it was impossible not to come to the conclusion that hollywood is betraying the viewing public with mindless waste , poor actors and little or no texture to their films . . . . . the concepts of family angst , betrayal and bittersweet redemption are revealed through a wonderfully talented cast , playing out their roles with beautiful subtlety and believability . the story is heart wrenching yet encouraging as the guard ( li bingbing ) and her charge ( lin liu ) travel on a leave from prison to the home of her mother and step father , the father of her step sister whom she accidentally killed . the interaction between the two women ( li / lin ) is thoroughly heartfelt and you are unable to resist lin ' s tragic character . this film should have been nominated for more individual recognitions but it was politically incorrect in it ' s homeland china so as we all know , hollywood only rewards it ' s own and seventeen years is an incredible treasure that many are not aware of outside the international community . i highly recommend and adore the vision of zhang yuan and this work of cinematic art . please see it and share this with those who love a quality movie .\na simple family drama that evolves into a moving study of immutable family ties ,\nseventeen years\nbounces helmer zhang yuan to the top ranks of chinese directors after a decade of mixed fortunes . beautifully played by a small cast in muted but naturalistic style , and shot through with small observations of contempo mainland life and social manners , the pic marginally recalls zhang ' s debut feature ,\nmama ,\nin its simplicity but is also clearly the work of a director who ' s finally hitting his stride as he approaches middle age .\nhailee steinfeld is incredible in this film . i have watched this movie in cinemas and i liked it very much that now i got the dvd . highly recommended\nis projecting a $ 170 million opening weekend for the live action fairytale , and the film is setting records around the world . at home , it\u2019ll have the\nare both aiming for that box office milestone . the last time we didn ' t have a family film that earned at least $ 100 million in november was\nit\u2019s also worth noting that earlier thursday , the san diego state center for the study of women in television and film released its annual report on the state of the film industry and found that the percentage of women directing films in the domestic top 205 for box office actually dropped in 2016 , down from 9 to only 7 percent . \u201cit is remarkable that with all of the attention and talk over the last couple of years in the business and the film industry , the numbers actually declined , \u201d the center\u2019s martha lauzen told variety . \u201cclearly the current remedies aren\u2019t working . \u201d like the movie nominations , the dga\u2019s nominees for television direction , announced wednesday , included only one woman among the 11 directors cited in major categories .\nseventeen years is reportedly the first feature to have shot scenes on location inside an actual chinese prison , something that would have been unthinkable in the people ' s republic , say , 17 years ago . the evolving superpower ? and the lives of its humblest citizens ? is the undercurrent of seventeen years , a fact -

epic heimat series about the fictional german village of schabbach in the 20th century ; this takes us back to the 19th , with dirt - poor farmers and labourers dreaming of escape by emigrating to brazil . the movie\u2019s german title is die andere heimat ( that is , the other homeland ) and it\u2019s subtitled chronik einer sehnsucht \u2014 the english version translates this last word as \u201cvision\u201d though \u201clonging\u201d is more accurate and apposite .\nreitz films in a beautiful , crystalline monochrome with incidental details picked out in colour , which often has the effect of flattening the perspective of each shot and making it close to a hyperreal engraving . it is nearly four hours , but never dull for a moment ; indeed , there is a boxset addictiveness to the whole thing .\njakob ( played by jan dieter schneider , looking weirdly like a germanic zach braff ) is a dreamer , a romantic , a reader , always getting yelled at by his blacksmith dad for idling . he has conceived a passionate desire to leave the grind and oppression and emigrate to the promised land of brazil \u2014 a \u201chomeland\u201d that is an alternative both to germany and the church\u2019s feebly promised heaven .\nperhaps , like the godfather movies , the heimat series will be re - edited in narrative sequence , and this will confer a greater , or a different meaning to the events in this movie . at present , it is superlatively well performed and well directed with a real narrative grip .\nthis beautifully shot black - and - white feature is accessible even for those unfamiliar with reitz ' s previous work .\non paper it is a yawn , especially when you clock the four - hour running time , but you will be sucked in to the lives of the characters and the mesmerising detail of their existence .\nthe first masterpiece of 2015 . spellbinding , lyrical and breathtaking . epic in scope while intimate in its humanism . i could have watched 4 more hours .\nfor all of its evident toil in recreating historically accurate environments and researching the precise conditions in varying regions , it has little force as a work of cinema .\nit is nearly four hours , but never dull for a moment ; indeed , there is a boxset addictiveness to the whole thing .\na four - hour plunge into rural prussia and the hopes , dreams and misfortunes of a blacksmith ' s family . twitter\n, which is often translated as \u201chomeland\u201d ) still means if a person decides to pack up all his belongs and leave not only their village but their country of birth to start completely anew on the other side of the world . much more than a specific place , the characters seem to hang on to a particular feeling of belonging to a family and community with its shared joys ( weddings , babies . . . ) and sorrows ( illnesses , deaths . . . ) , something they paradoxically might quite easily find in brazil as well .\nreitz\u2019 sense of composition is often striking , however , with especially the landscapes with its placid rivers , abundant vineyards and solitary cherry trees lending the day - to - day activities of the poor characters an appropriate grandeur that suggests each single being has its role in the epic of their own lives . by contrast , the austere and dilapidated interiors of the late production designer tony gerg offer a grim visual reminder of the abject poverty of rural prussia in the mid - 1800s that was a direct cause of the mass emigration to other shores .\nacting , much of it in a mix of german and the hunsrueckish dialect , is uniformly solid , with non - professional newcomer schneider a true find . filmmaker and occasional actor werner herzog has an amusing if somewhat distracting cameo as well -

double standards - courts punish girls but not boys for promiscuous sexual activity\u2022 carlen - women are assessed more in terms of being wives , mothers and daughters . less conventional girls are punished harsher . scottish judges more likely to jail women whose children were in care than women who they saw as good mothers\n15 . activity\u2022 compare the strength of feeling shown against maxine carr with the level to which she was actually involved in the crime . \u2022 on the internet , investigate accounts of the case of \u2018baby p\u2019 and tracey connelly in 2009 . how were the descriptions of tracey connelly in the press different from the way in which the male offenders ( the actual killers ) were treated ? for example , the item in the daily express tramp tracey used -

president of the cyber civil rights initiative . \u201cthere is no denying the blunt truth of [ lawrence\u2019s ] words : she alone has the right to control access to her naked body , and anyone who violates that right has committed a profound and inexcusable wrong . that means that laws against hacking are insufficient to address this violation . \u201d danielle citron , author of hate crimes in cyber space , has also argued that these crimes clearly infringe on women\u2019s civil rights .\nit\u2019s not just that photographs like lawrence\u2019s violated women\u2019s rights to privacy and constituted theft , or that they might be considered pornographic or offensive . it\u2019s that the perpetrators sought to attack the women , humiliate them , assault their dignity , and interfere with their lives and well being because they are women . revenge porn is overwhelmingly perpetrated against women by men , and is rooted in displaying male dominance . there is nothing new in this type of female dehumanization . what\u2019s new is its digitized and scalable industrialization . the attack on female celebrities sends a clear message that even the most admired and powerful women can be treated this way .\nif there is one silver lining in this , it\u2019s that the women who were targeted are not being stigmatized or punished and that the trajectory of traditional shame seems to be reversing in a way that accrues to the perpetrator , and not the victims , of these assaults .\ntime ideas hosts the world ' s leading voices , providing commentary on events in news , society , and culture . we welcome outside contributions . opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of time editors .\n\u00a9 2017 time inc . all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . time may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website . offers may be subject to change without notice . | eu data subject requests\nhas been lax in adjudicating sex crimes , such as rape and sexual enslavement for the majority of its existence .\nwhile the tribunal failed to address the pervasive use of rape as a weapon of the rwandan genocide during its first four years of existence , the indictment of a former bougmestre , or mayor , in prosecutor v . akayesu for inciting sexual violence drew praise from the international community . akayesu was a groundbreaking decision that defined rape under international law and declared sexual violence and rape to be crimes against humanity . additionally , akayesu was the first decision to include rape and sexual violence in the definition of genocide . despite being a major victory for women , the subsequent paucity of indictments for gendered crimes weakened akeyasu \u2018s impact on the ictr\u2019s prosecutions of sexual violence .\nafter akayesu , the ictr missed opportunities to obtain indictments for rape . in prosecutor v . kajelijeli the defendant was a bougmestre who allegedly conspired with subordinates to commit genocide , including the rape and assault of tutsi women . kajelijeli was convicted of genocide , but acquitted of the rape charges . despite the likelihood that the rape charges would have been reinstated , the prosecutor\u2019s office missed the deadline for appeal .\nthe court recognized that coercion was implicit when rape was prosecuted under theories of genocide , war crimes , and crimes against humanity . it held that the mechanical definition of rape , in which coercion was an element , did not reflect the realities of rape during times of conflict . the muhimana court determined that the prosecution did not have to prove coercion , and that coercion would henceforth be presumed in cases of rape under international law . although muhimana is a victory for women\u2019s rights and enhances the ictr\u2019s legacy , the repeated failure to prosecute rape and sexual assault limits the positive effects that these cases may have otherwise had . further , the ictr\u2019s impending closure limits opportunities to provide the actual victims with justice and redress .\nto ensure that the recent changes in the ictr positively impact victims , it is necessary to conduct community outreach and educate citizens about the ictr\u2019s activities . by providing victims and witnesses with information about the outcomes of ictr trials , citizens can share in the accomplishment of convicting perpetrators of genocide . emphasizing the victim\u2019s role in achieving convictions would help to achieve redress for the wrongs committed .\nadditionally , culturally - sensitive community education about rape , sexual violence , and associated stigma should be conducted . such programs would inform communities that rape is not the victim\u2019s fault and could help change societal attitudes towards sexual violence . while it is likely that the success of community education programs will be limited due to the tribunal\u2019s impending closure , at a minimum , these programs would provide victims of sexual violence with a source of comfort and reinforce that they were not at fault for the atrocities that they experienced .\nopinions expressed in jurist commentary are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of jurist ' s editors , staff , donors or the university of pittsburgh .\non july 9 , 1778 , eight states -

womens domestic roles imposes restrictions on their time and movement confining them to the house for long periods of time reducing opportunities to offend . daughters subject to patriarchal control e . g . not ale to go out or stay out late , developing a bedroom culture ( socialising at home ) and required to do housework reducing opportunities to engaged in deviant behaviour on streets\n20 . \u2022 control in public - women fear sexual violence , media reporting of rapes helps to frighten women into staying at home . also a fear of being defined as not respectable ( clothing , make up etc can create a bad reputation ) . \u2022 control at work -

s victory .\nthe acquisition of portugal greatly increased the power of spain . not only did portuguese wealth and overseas territories come into the hands of madrid \u2013 so did the navy . elizabeth and her ministers now recognised that they faced a potentially far more powerful foe . france could no longer be guaranteed to be the enemy of spain as the catholic league , formed in 1584 , received the support and backing of philip ii . in 1585 , elizabeth finally agreed to the requests of leicester and walsingham . as a result of the treaty of nonsuch , elizabeth agreed to send to the netherlands 5 , 000 foot soldiers and 1000 cavalry .\nthe removal of the sea beggars from england actually backfired on elizabeth . if her primary aim in doing this was to develop better relations with spain , it accidentally backfired . the sea beggars , having left england , had to find a port . they captured brill and as a result rekindled support for rebellion against the spanish in the netherlands .\nthe revolt in the netherlands did a great deal to undermine the relations london had with madrid . on the accession of elizabeth in 1558 , many protestants who had fled england returned , primarily to london and east anglia . these men were radicalised as a result of having to flee mary\u2019s attack on protestants and their initial impact on regional society on their return was marked . therefore there was a great deal of sympathy for the protestant rebels in the netherlands . the success of the duke of alva against the rebels effectively forced elizabeth into supporting the protestant rebels in the netherlands . when this occurred , it could only have the result of driving more of a wedge between madrid and london .\nregardless of this , a separation between spain and england did occur . it may have been the result of elizabeth\u2019s failure to marry philip . philip may have got the idea that elizabeth would marry him as a matter of course . when this did not occur , philip may have let his personal feelings influence his policy decisions . however , there is no proof of this .\nqueen elizabeth i\u2019s reign was sometimes referred to as the golden age or elizabethan england , an era of peace and prosperity when the arts had a chance to blossom with elizabeth & apos ; s support . while she worked hard at court , elizabeth took time for leisurely pursuits . she loved music and could play the lute . thomas tallis and william byrd were among her court musicians . elizabeth also enjoyed dancing and watching plays . elizabeth & apos ; s reign supported the creation of works by such greats as william shakespeare and christopher marlowe .\nqueen victoria was queen of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland from 1837 to 1901\u2014the second longest reign of any other british monarch in history .\nelizabeth i was the daughter of king henry viii and his second wife , anne boleyn . perhaps england & apos ; s most famous monarch , queen elizabeth i grew up in complex and sometimes difficult circumstances . she was only two years old when her mother , anne boleyn , was beheaded on the orders of her husband and elizabeth\u2019s father , king henry viii , based on questionable charges of adultery and conspiracy .\non this day in 1587 , mary , queen of scots was executed by her cousin , queen elizabeth i . the queen of england had imprisoned mary for the previous 18 years after she\u2019d fled scotland . elizabeth signed mary\u2019s death warrant after finding out that catholics had been plotting to assassinate her to restore mary to power .\nelizabethan england as seen through its architecture , art , furniture , music and literature .\nin 1554 , thomas wyatt organized a rebellion against mary with the hopes of making protestant - raised elizabeth queen . but his plot was uncovered , and elizabeth was quickly imprisoned by mary . elizabeth disputed any involvement in the conspiracy , but her sister was not wholly convinced .\nalthough she was soon released , elizabeth & apos ; s life was firmly in her sister & apos ; s hands . wyatt was executed , but he maintained that elizabeth was not aware of the rebellion . elizabeth eventually returned to hatfield and continued with her studies . in 1558 , elizabeth ascended to the throne upon mary tudor\u2019s death .\nelizabeth did not follow up this success . despite the advice of the \u2018sea dogs\u2019 , she knew that england needed a strong ( but non - threatening ) spain to counter - balance france . if spain was weak , france might be prompted into resurrecting her association with scotland \u2013 which would be a direct threat to england .\none thing elizabeth wanted to avoid with regards to what was happening in the netherlands was for the french to get involved . if the region looked particularly vulnerable , then this was a possibility . what elizabeth wanted from the spanish was a return to the way the province was run when charles v controlled it and a removal of the spanish army from the netherlands .\nthe success of alva had another repercussion . as it was now clear that the relations between spain and england had deteriorated , no one in england wanted a power such as spain so near to england\u2019s southeast coastline . 50 , 000 spanish troops were based just a few hours sailing from the kent coastline and many viewed this as more than just a threat . cecil , in particular , was highly concerned about a threat that england would not be able to repulse .\nelizabeth acted swiftly to address these two pressing issues . during her first session of parliament in 1559 , she called for the passage of the act of supremacy , which re - established the church of england , and the act of uniformity , which created a common prayer book . elizabeth took a moderate approach to the divisive religious conflict in her country .\nthere is one jesus christ ,\nshe once said .\nthe rest is a dispute over trifles .\nhowever , catholics did suffer religious persecution and some were executed under her reign , though historians differ on the extent . the roman catholic church took a dim view of her actions , and in 1570 , pope pius v excommunicated elizabeth .\nwriters paid tribute to the queen in many literary forms . the poet edmund spenser based his character of gloriana in the faerie queen on elizabeth , and she was sometimes referred to by this name . portraiture was the reigning form of painting at the time , and artists honored elizabeth by painting her portrait . these images reveal that elizabeth was an early fashionista in many ways . she loved jewelry and beautiful clothing ; her garments were often made with gold and silver . with the help of makeup , elizabeth cultivated a dramatically pale look .\nthe presence of leicester and an english military force did a great deal to boost the morale of the dutch and the continued damaging raids on spanish bullion ships by the likes of drake were starting to have a major impact on spain\u2019s economy . on paper spain had a very strong economy boosted by the vast earnings that came from the new world . in reality , spain\u2019s economy was bolstered only by the heavy taxation of those who could least afford it . overwhelmed by this economic gloom , philip took the decision that the only way out of both these problems was to remove the cause of them \u2013 elizabeth .\nthe england of elizabeth initially seems very different from the much - loved holiday ( 1957 ) , another taylor - directed btf film . in fact , they make fine , contrasting and complementary , companion pieces . both films ultimately emerged as collaborative productions , with relatively light involvement from taylor after initial shooting . though holiday is joyously contemporary , and the england of elizabeth a stately evocation of english history , they share certain feelings . both films , while apolitical , suggest a nation finding ease with itself after turbulent times , able to enjoy the moment but respectful of distant pasts ' ghosts in its midst .\nqueen elizabeth ii of great britain is the longest - reigning monarch in british history . she celebrated 65 years on the throne in february 2017 with her sapphire jubilee .\nduring elizabeth\u2019s rule , mary stuart posed one of the greatest internal threats to remove her cousin from the throne . the daughter of king james v of scotland , mary united her country with france in 1558 when she married the future king francis ii . after francis & apos ; death , mary returned to scotland in 1561 . she was raised catholic and was considered by many english catholics to be the rightful monarch of england , and mary had previously lay claim to the english crown . elizabeth jailed her cousin in 1567 in connection with several assassination attempts , including the babington plot . elizabeth kept mary imprisoned for nearly 20 years before she finally agreed to have her cousin executed in 1587 .\ncharles i was a king of england , scotland and ireland , whose conflicts with parliament and his subjects led to civil war and his execution .\nin 1558 , elizabeth took the reins of her country after her sister queen mary died and ruled until her death in 1603 . elizabeth i inherited a number of problems stirred up by mary . the country was at war with france , which proved to be a tremendous drain on the royal coffers . there was also great tension between different religious factions after mary worked to restore england to roman catholicism by any means necessary . in fact , she earned the nickname bloody mary for ordering the execution of 300 protestants as heretics .\ndefeating the rebellion greatly harmed england\u2019s economy . spanish troops did land in ireland in 1601 but they were defeated . however , this was six years after they were requested by the irish rebels \u2013 such was the weakened state of spain .\nqueen elizabeth i ( september 7 , 1533 to march 24 , 1603 ) claimed the throne in 1558 at the age of 25 and held it until her death 44 years later . the daughter of king henry viii and his second wife anne boleyn , elizabeth i was born a princess but declared illegitimate through political machinations . eventually , upon her half - sister mary tudor\u2019s death , she took the crown . during her reign , elizabeth i established protestantism in england ; defeated the spanish armada in 1588 ; maintained peace inside her previously divided country ; and created an environment where the arts flourished .\nqueen elizabeth was the queen consort of king george vi until his death in 1952 . she is best known for her moral support to the british people during wwii and her longevity .\nsuccession was a pressing issue for queen elizabeth i . during her reign , she showed her talents as a diplomat , managing a number of suitors and potential royal matches . through her father and her sister , elizabeth had seen the troubles and challenges of royal marriages . mary had made an unpopular choice in marrying phillip ii of spain , who shared her devotion to the roman catholic faith . in the hopes of reuniting their two countries once more , phillip even offered to wed elizabeth at one time .\n' [ rowse ] was an extraordinary pioneer . ' - david starkey ' rowse ' s study is by far the best of elizabethan society . ' - new statesman ' the most attractive and the greatest age of england portrayed in detail as it actually was . ' - sunday times ' i am above all glad that the most attractive and the greatest age of england should be portrayed in detail as it actually was , with shrewd but sympathetic comment . ' - g . m . trevelyan , sunday times\nthe elizabethan age is arguably that greatest in english history . furthermore it is not something dead and apart from us : it is alive and all around us . england contains the visible memorials of elizabethan society : the houses they built ; the objects they cherished ; the patterns they imposed upon the very landscape . rowse ' s classic study is a detailed account of that society and tradition from the lowest social class to the men and women who governed the realm . this reissue of rowse ' s famously vivid portrayal of the elizabethan world is complemented by a major introduction from christopher haigh which offers both a reflection on rowse ' s masterpiece and an assessment of the elizabethan age .\ntroubled times marked the final years of elizabeth & apos ; s reign . the country suffered from failed crops , unemployment and inflation . there were riots over food shortages and rebellions in ireland . elizabeth faced many challenges to her authority , including from one of her favorite noblemen , robert devereaux , the earl of essex . she had sent him to ireland to quell the rebellion led by hugh o & apos ; neill . instead essex returned to england and sought to start his own rebellion . he was executed for treason in 1601 .\nelizabeth blackwell was the first woman to graduate from medical school in the united states . she became a leading public health activist during her lifetime .\nqueen elizabeth i died on march 24 , 1603 , at richmond palace in surrey . it\u2019s believed that the cosmetic concoction elizabeth used to cultivate her infamously pale look , called the spirits of saturn \u2014 made by mixing white lead and vinegar \u2014 may have impacted her health .\n\u201cleicester , whose spirit is walsingham , is so highly favoured by the queen , not withstanding his bad character , that he centres in his hands most of the business of the country . \u201d\nother suitors for elizabeth & apos ; s hand included the king of sweden , archduke charles of austria , and the future king henry iii of france . she used her availability as a means to political ends , but she never agreed to marriage . she herself seemed to have some interest in a member of her court , robert dudley , and their relationship was the subject of much gossip and speculation . both parties came under suspicion after the mysterious death of dudley & apos ; s wife .\nin 1576 , mutinous spanish soldiers who had not been paid sacked antwerp . many civilians lost their lives . influential men in the english government now felt that the time was right to apply more pressure on the queen to help the rebels . walsingham and leicester urged elizabeth to militarily intervene and to accept the dutch offer of sovereignty over the netherlands .\nthere were those who advised against the armada of 1588 but philip ignored them all . he believed that he was on a mission from god . its complete failure effectively ended any threat england faced from spain .\nelizabeth , however , seemed to have no interest in sharing power with a spouse . over time , she cultivated her image as a queen married to her job and her people . for this dedication elizabeth earned the nickname the\nvirgin queen .\ncecil had given his blessing to the seizure of the spanish bullion ships . however , he underestimated the spanish response and for five years ( 1568 to 1572 ) relations between both nations were very poor . by 1572 , a thaw occurred as both elizabeth and philip realised that the situation they were in was of no value to both nations .\nironically , the position of the rebels put elizabeth in a difficult position . if she was seen to be supporting those who had rebelled against their monarch , would she somehow encourage rebels in her own kingdom ? however , she was also more than aware that alva was a major threat to england . therefore , elizabeth allowed the \u2018sea beggars\u2019 to use english harbours and she gave her agreement for mariners like hawkins and drake to make inroads into markets overseas that had traditionally been spanish trade routes .\nit\u2019s believed that the cosmetic concoction elizabeth used to cultivate her infamously pale look may have impacted her health and contributed to her death .\nif someone asked me to recommend a single book to read on elizabethan england , this might well be the one i ' d suggest . when i wanted to know about the workings of local government or the role of churchwardens or how the concerns of city and country people differed or how the religious settlement reverberated at different levels of society or any of a dozen other details of the workings of elizabethan society , this was the source where i found the information i needed . i enjoy rowse ' s writing style too - - it is approachable and not stuffy in the least . he was a very opinionated historian ( he loathed the puritans , for example ) , but he was also quite open about his biases - - and this openness , i find , just adds to the enjoyment of reading his work . ( he was not , however , terribly sensitive to or sensible about women ' s issues - - his\nidentification\nelsewhere of the dark lady of shakespeare ' s sonnets being a prime example - - but that doesn ' t really enter in here , except for the fact that he , like most historians of his generation , doesn ' t much consider women ' s contributions to and roles in society . )\nthis 1950s film depicting elizabethan england is 26 minutes long and offers viewers insight into the period . the film features numerous tudor artefacts from paintings to manuscripts to maps , as well as showing stately homes and ruins , and would be useful for understanding a 20th century interpretation of this period . by viewing the historical objects , it can also be used to contextualise shakespeare\u2019s plays . it considers the england in which shakespeare wrote and is supported by a score by ralph vaughan williams and a script written by historian a . l . rowse , the david starkey of his day .\nelizabeth was raised much like any other royal child . she received tutoring and excelled at languages and music . after her father & apos ; s death in 1547 , elizabeth spent some time under the care of her stepmother catherine parr . parr hired tutors on elizabeth & apos ; s behalf , including william grindal and roger ascham . tensions with parr over parr & apos ; s new husband , thomas seymour , led elizabeth to return to the royal estate at hatfield , away from the court . her relationship with seymour later came under scrutiny , and seymour was later tried for conspiring to wed elizabeth in a bid to gain power . found guilty , seymour was executed .\nduring her lifetime , poet elizabeth bishop was a respected yet somewhat obscure figure in the world of american literature . since her death in 1979 , however , her reputation has grown to the point that many critics , like larry rohter in the new york times , have referred . . .\nwhile the end of her reign had been difficult , elizabeth has largely been remembered as being a queen who supported her people . her lengthy time on the throne provided her subjects with stability and consistency , and her sharp wits and clever mind helped navigate the nation through religious and political challenges .\nall of this was seen in madrid as being very provocative . dr john mann , the english ambassador in madrid , was dismissed and had to return to england . mann did not help his cause , of course , by calling the pope \u201ca canting little monk . \u201d philip recalled his ambassador in london , guzman de silva . silva had made a very favourable impression in london . he was replaced by guerau de spes \u2013 a man so incompetent that he antagonised many in the court in london . spes had so little tact that he described william cecil , the most powerful nobleman in england as :\n\u00a9 2018 bio and the bio logo are registered trademarks of a & e ;

humoured , bushy - moustached mathematician ( cambridge ) who worked closely with turing in hut 8 and was prone to having catnaps on the floor of the hut , especially after a long shift . this was just as well because he broke one vital code in his sleep , with the solution coming to him in a dream .\no contrary to the film ' s portrayal , no member of the football team was on the cadet honor committee . however , in point of fact two cadets who were among 25 cadet academic tutors for the football team were found guilty of cheating , and one of the two was found guilty of\nfalse swearing ,\nthat is , lying under oath then later recanting previous testimony - twice falsely given .\nfirst was the need to evenhandedly portray an important , unprecedented , complex , and potentially controversial event in history in just 90 minutes of screen time , not an easy task . second , because the real story was truly complex and potentially confusing to audiences unfamiliar with the military academy , its mission , methods of education and training , honor code and system , and intercollegiate athletic programs , the story had to be simplified while retaining both its integrity and dramatic impact . third , the producer made an extraordinary effort to recreate the era , make the film a\nperiod piece ,\nin which the events occurred , which required a great deal of detailed effort during a compressed filming schedule . fourth , holding to people and events just exactly as history was , would have resulted in a much larger cast , and an unacceptably large increase in budget .\ni liked this urltoken ' s a movie about football , but it ' s much more than urltoken ' s really about honor , truth , and loyalty . it is set in 1950 , and chronicles the\narmy\n- the west point football team . west point is the very esteemed military urltoken the movie begins ,\narmy is coming off of 27 consecutive wins and hope to win the championship once again . along the way , many on the team will go through some trials that will test their morality and pledge to uphold the principle of honor at any cost . the backdrop to the story is the korean war . i like the fact the the story has some depth to it . the very fine performances go along way in anchoring the story . scott glenn gives a nice understated , quietly intense performance as one of of the coaches . even though this is a morality tale , it doesn ' t hit you over the head , or preach to you . all in all a pretty good movie . for me\ncode breakers\nis an 8 / 10\nof course , cheating violates the military\u2019s honor code , creating a moral dilemma for several of these young officers in training , among them blaik\u2019s son bob ( corey sevier ) , both a gridiron star and a top student ; and roommates holbrook ( jeff roop ) and nolan ( zachery bryan ) . when one of them chooses to report the malfeasance , it threatens to rock the institution and trigger the dishonorable discharge of the co - conspirators .\nis the first to feature the work of alan turing , the english mathematical genius and pioneer of artificial intelligence . the movie focuses on turing ' s attempts to break the secret of enigma while at the same time trying to conceal the secret of his sexual identity . however , the imitation game is very misleading - or downright inaccurate - about several key issues . turing and the team at bletchley was not the first to break the enigma code ;\no contrary to what coach blaik was told by several men on his football team , and he accepted at face value as the truth , then in fact and in the film repeated to the media in his 9 august 1951 press conference at mama leone ' s restaurant in new york city , not one single cadet was discharged because he\nonly knew about the cheating , and didn ' t cheat\nor solely because he\ntold the truth .\nthe coach couldn ' t accept or believe the men who cheated hadn ' t told him the whole truth about their involvement , and under existing rules of evidence and the articles of war ( which were in transition to the uniform code of military justice at that time ) he could neither testify before the board because all his evidence would have been\nhearsay ,\nnor could he be given access to the board record .\nafter the war , good became a professor and worked as a consultant to stanley kubrick on the 1968 film 2001 : a space odyssey . he never guessed turing ' s sexual orientation in all the time they worked together , and neither did the bletchley park authorities .\notherwise ,\nas good noted matter - of - factly ,\nturing may have been driven to kill himself earlier , and we might have lost the war .\nthe one lament that i\u2019m sure many of you will have is that this isn\u2019t being made by black filmmakers ( the producer is white , as is the writer and the director ) . what more can i say that hasn\u2019t already been said on that subject ? so it goes\u2026 let\u2019s just hope that the film is true to author margot lee shetterly\u2019s words , as well as the * forgotten * women she writes about in her book , and history .\nthis turned out not to be the case . after a period of clerical work with\nthe girls\n, her mathematical gifts led to her becoming the only woman among a team of nine banburists . and according to her boss , alexander , she was\none of the best banburists in the section\n. clarke wasn ' t as glamorous as keira knightley , who plays her in the film , but her character is captured well by the actress .\nironically , perhaps some of the most compelling testimony heard , albeit right at the end of the bartlett board ' s deliberations , from the man who possessed the most credible evidence and relevant institutional memory regarding weakened cadet support for the honor code and system in the years immediately following world war ii , was virtually ignored by the board . the board , by that time , was convinced . they had found both the underlying and proximate causes for the cheating incident of 1951 . overemphasis on ( winning ) football .\nused complicated sets of rotors , to change the letters or combinations of letters in a message or document into what seemed to be randomly selected substitutes . the rotors produced billions of possible combinations for the original message . a recipient with another enigma machine used a key to unlock the code . during the 1920s and 1930s the german military transformed this commercial encoding device into an incredibly sophisticated encoding system to transmit top - secret orders and messages to german military units on land and sea . however , the germans were unaware that\nthis is a documentary about unsung heroes of world war ii . in 1943 , a 24 - year - old maths student and a gpo engineer combined to hack into hitler ' s personal super - code machine - not enigma but an even tougher system , which he called his ' secrets writer ' . their break turned the battle of kursk , powered the d - day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in europe . but it was also to be used during the cold war - which meant both men ' s achievements were hushed up and never officially recognized .\no in the film , brian nolan is portrayed as the only cadet involved in disclosing the existence of the cheating ring , reported his football player roommate , and then\nfollowing colonel harkins ' order to ' go under cover ' , joins the ring to verify the existence of the ring and obtain hard evidence against those found participating in cheating .\nthere was in fact a second cadet in company h - 2 , who was on the swimming team with nolan , and volunteered to join in the undercover investigation for the commandant , colonel paul d . harkins .\no as portrayed in the film , a number of cadets found guilty of cheating , did lie under oath the first time they appeared before the collins board , though the movie didn ' t say how many lied . the official investigation by a board of three army lieutenant colonels from the west point class of 1938 , all world war ii veterans , found 22 cadets lied under oath in their first appearance to give sworn testimony to the board , which later took the name of its president , ltc arthur s . collins , jr . some of the men found guilty repeatedly lied .\nthere they broke , and broke again , the german code named\nenigma ,\nwhich was thought to be unbreakable , and was used by the nazis to direct their submarine convoys in the north atlantic . enigma was decoded with the help of a machine , and the british had captured one , but the machine alone was not enough . my notes , scribbled in the dark , indicate the machine had 4 , 000 million trillion different positions - - a whole lot , anyway - - and the mathematicians and cryptologists at bletchley used educated guesses and primitive early computers to try to penetrate a message to the point where it could be tested on enigma .\nduring wwii , men and women working at bletchley park played a vital role , breaking the codes used by the german military . nine years later , former codebreaker susan is a housewife and mother , but she continues to recognize patterns that surround her in everyday life . when a series of women are brutally murdered around london , susan sees a pattern emerging . however , when a police - search for what susan believes to be an overlooked victim turns up nothing , she realizes she cannot solve this puzzle alone . enlisting three former bletchley park colleagues : millie , lucy , and jean ; susan knows they have little time to break this code before the killer strikes again .\nnock ( rory kinnear ) , the officer who questions turing in the film , isn ' t entirely real . rather , moore says , he ' s meant to symbolize\nthe institutionalized homophobia of the day , to show that this wasn ' t some raving lunatic who arrested in persecuted alan turing .\nand , to protect the cop who did interrogate the computer scientist , moore changed his name .\ni made that decision very early on because the real police officer didn ' t die all that long ago and he still has family who are alive and i did not want to implicate the real person in that ,\nhe says .\nkate winslett is impressive as a determined bletchley park team member dedicated to finding out what happened to a missing colleague and to help the object of her affections crack the german naval code . although her character is fictional , in fact women were a vital part of the park ' s work force . most were employed in administrative , transcriptive and secretarial functions , but some , like joan clarke and marion body , worked alongside alan turing and other top decoders . one of the administrative staff was valerie glassborow , the grandmother of kate , duchess of cambridge , who had a tedious job in hut 16 - she and others monitored british listening stations to see that they were sending in regular reports of german radio activity .\no clearly implied but not specifically , factually highlighted in the movie was the fact that third classmen ( sophomores ) involved in cheating in three cadet companies deliberately schemed to elect one of their group as company honor representatives . this occurred in three cadet companies , b - 1 , b - 2 , and k - 1 . the film dialog indicates the honor committee\nwas stacked ,\nor\nthey ' ve compromised the honor committee .\nthe elections were in fact successful in two of the three cadet companies , b - 1 and b - 2 , which meant , had they not been found out , the honor committee would have indeed been compromised when the class of 1953 became the senior class .\nthe goal was to tell alan ' s story fairly and responsibly and accurately ,\nmoore says .\nthat meant that we sometimes had to dramatize things\u2014or to take things that happened over a period of months and make them into a scene .\nthat also meant that multiple people , and the things they did , were condensed into a single person .\nfor example , the character that is called hugh alexander , who is played by matthew goode , he ' s a character that is half hugh alexander and half gordon welchman , another mathematician on the team ,\nhe says\nwe had to sort of use little tricks like that . but every major event in the film did occur .\no in the film , nolan goes to his father for advice on what to do before he reports his football player roommate , then over his father ' s objections reports him to the commandant . in real life , nolan was first asked by the commandant if he would go under cover , and colonel harkins explained why . nolan , who knew the serious implications of the matter , asked for permission to consult with his family , then called his uncle , a lawyer in new york city , and asked him to come to west point to visit . he wanted some advice . after his uncle recommended he accept the commandant ' s request , he then went to colonel harkins and agreed to press ahead with what became a six week undercover investigation .\no the other blatant use of intimidation , which wasn ' t portrayed in the film , involved two of the first few witnesses to appear before the collins board . one of them was the classmate nolan first reported , a member of the academy ' s fencing team . approximately twelve men in the ring called a meeting in a room in company a - 1 ' s first division of barracks , the evening of the first day ' s testimony . they demanded to know what the two men told the board , and also wanted to know what they had been asked during the proceedings , to help them prepare for their testimony - though the collins board had specifically instructed all witnesses not to discuss any aspect of the proceedings with anyone after their testimony .\nthe significance of the ' enigma machine ' , and the unlocking of its secrets by a team of cryptological and mathematical geniuses at the top secret english location of bletchley park remained unknown and unheralded for many years after the end of the war . in the last couple of decades , the general public has become aware of the crucial role that bletchley park ( and in particular the mathematician alan turing ) played in unravelling germany ' s military secrets and helping win the war . the main target of the bletchley team was not the german ' s original so - called ' enigma ' cipher but the more technologically sophisticated version code - named ' tunny ' by the british . many documentaries have been made about enigma , bletchley park and turing . yet despite the controversial conflicts , issues and personalities surrounding the topic , before 2014 ' s release of\nfor years computer science circles have hummed with speculation that the bitten - apple logo on mac products was a reference to turing ' s death . it ' s such an interesting tidbit the filmmakers almost mentioned it in the movie .\nwe debated putting that in text at the end of the film ; that was a lively debate for many months ,\nmoore says .\nthe debate was that this was this amazing story that there was this rumor and that steve jobs had publicly denied it many times but other people seemed to think it was true . \u2026 we would ' ve loved for it to be true . but we didn ' t have enough evidence to feel comfortable putting that in as text . personally , i think it might be true , but because we couldn ' t prove it , it was ethically tricky .\nkate winslet is very good here , plucky , wearing sensible shoes , with the wrong haircut - - and then , seen in the right light , as a little proletarian sex bomb . she moves between dowdy and sexy so easily , it must mystify even her . claire , when she is seen , is portrayed by saffron burrows as the kind of woman any sensible man knows cannot be kept in his net - - which is why she attracts a masochistic romantic like tom jericho , who sets himself up for his own betrayal . if it is true ( and it is ) that\npearl harbor\nis the story of how the japanese staged a sneak attack on an american love triangle , at least\nenigma\nis not about how the nazis devised their code to undermine a british love triangle . that is true not least because the british place puzzle -

1 were football players . the man he actually , eventually reported as pressing him to join\na group of cadets\ninvolved in cheating was in fact a classmate - the member of the fencing team - and lived in another cadet room in nolan ' s company . the fencing team member was also the son of an academy graduate who was a brigadier general in the army ' s occupation forces in germany at the time , whereas in the film nolan is portrayed as the son of an academy graduate , with uncles who were also academy graduates . the real nolan was a recruited swimming team member , whose father wasn ' t career military or a graduate . the two roommates ( classmates ) of the man whom nolan reported were academy intercollegiate athletes . one was on the boxing team , the other a junior varsity football player , and was the football player who threatened nolan and was detained by the fbi .\nfresh off\nfour minutes ,\nespn returns to the 1950s and comes up with another winning pic . dealing with a cheating scandal that rocked west point and army ' s then -

passing system among members of the army team , who , in 1950 , were in the midst of a dominant winning streak . that success fueled an almost messianic zeal , with blaik insisting his charges don\u2019t just represent west point : \u201cwe play for the american people . \u201d\nyet as is so frequently true , the brawniest and swiftest on the field aren\u2019t always the brainiest and swiftest in the classroom . so the players began assisting each other in an elaborate scheme , convinced the coaches either know what they\u2019re up to or at least are willing to look the other way .\nworking from a script by g . ross parker , veteran episodic director rod holcomb brings a starched efficiency to the proceedings , including a particularly well -

( most sages would rather be cowboys than accountants . ) this especially applies to love this year . if you doubt someone , or suspect that your ardour is slightly less than you\u2019d anticipated , don\u2019t be afraid to cancel and move on .\nyour deepest love in 2017 might be for your children , as your home glows with new warmth , cheerfulness and affection . i didn\u2019t include your mate , because many of you are caught between loving and rejecting your spouse \u2014 this trend , a long one ( 2008 - 24 ) will eventually cause your love and partnership to grow deeper and deeper , into new levels of feeling and knowing ; or you will eventually pull apart , like taffy . but in 2017 , you can easily make your home a place of happiness and optimism . you can strengthen your marriage by buying or renting a better home . from october onward ( deep into 2018 ) romance , charming kids and adventure draw the family together \u2014 plan a unique vacation , a family cruise or international voyage .\nwhen joon - soo ( lee seung - gi ) falls in love he tries to give everything to the girl . even though he does all of that , he is the one that get dumped . hyun - woo ( moon chae - won ) works as a weathercaster . unlike her beautiful appearance , she acts excessively and talks in a tough manner . a romance blooms between these two people .\nwhenever elementary school teacher kang joon - soo ( lee seung - gi ) falls in love , he always gives too much of himself to the relationship . yet despite that , he ends up being the one getting dumped by his girlfriends . joon - soo has been friends for 18 years with kim hyun - woo ( moon chae - won ) , a weather forecaster whose beauty belies her witty tongue and aggressive manner .\nstill , you have a heart , and romance won\u2019t be denied . your home is filled with sweet and sour emotions in february , tipping deeply to the affectionate side in march . you might be struggling with domestic matters all spring . this could signal some family opposition to your amour , especially if you\u2019re young or a single parent . but march to may contains many compelling romantic openings \u2014 step in . much indecision hovers , but it will clear by may \u2014 and june or july could bring an avowal of love , even marriage . careful in august , when your sexual desires run hot . be ethical and ( health - wise ) self - protective . an old flame might re - appear . august through october raises many hints about wedding , or involvement with a foreign - born person . you might find love in school or transportation venues .\ntoday ' s love\nof lee seung - gi and moon chae - won is drawing expectations from the movie fans , as it will be the only romantic comedy movie this winter . lee seung - gi plays joon - soo , who is a right - minded and hardworking elementary school teacher , but is shy and inexperienced with women , thus has never been on a real date with a woman , . . .\nyou\u2019re in the middle of a phase ( 2008 - 2024 ) that will bring you true love , scorpio . but for the past year , and continuing to may 10 , you\u2019ll succeed best in romance if you aim for light , friendly amour , and give deep , intense infatuation a wide berth . after may , the pendulum swings to favour deep , world - well - lost romance once again \u2014 for seven more years .\njung joon yeong . . . !

powerful lord souls came into existence and were claimed by four different beings : nito , the witch of izalith , gwyn and the furtive pygmy ( the most mysterious of the four , and the progenitor of humans \u2013 we\u2019ll go into that later ) . the souls gave the four of them great power ; they became something close to deities .\ndriver error was seen as being the prime cause of accidents .

distinction if one is working out in a greek gymnasium where everyone was nude to begin with so the physical fact of circumcision was the noticeably distinctive quality to jewish self - identity in the greco - roman world . so the ritual of circumcision as a process of conversion to judaism is one of those major hurdles that people would have thought about from the greek world background in which paul was living .\nthe transgender day of remembrance was founded in 1998 by gwendolyn ann smith , a transgender graphic designer , columnist , and activist , to memorialize the murder of rita

tragic cases of death related to breatharianism are a fact .\n. . . [ i ] n about the year 50 to 55 when paul is traveling back and forth from corinth to ephesus , this is a period when the whole aegean is going through the beginnings of a massive growth under roman expansion . . . roman development . we should think of it as roman urbanization programs . now ephesus up until this time had really not been the major city of asia . only under the emperor nero and a little later on would it really take off and grow to become the most important greek city in the east . paul was there just at the beginning of that process , and so we have to imagine paul coming in to ephesus from the harbor , down the main street to the greek theater and encountering what was at that stage still a smallish city but one that was just about ready to take off . like corinth , ephesus was a cosmopolitan environment . we have to imagine traders there from egypt , from the turkish hinterlands , from greece , from italy . in fact the inscriptions and the statues and the art work and the buildings all tell us that this is really a crossroads of culture and religious life throughout the mediterranean world .\nin addition to his impressive body of work , smeeton has been part of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll history . on an early 1970s frank zappa tour , while performing at the montreux casino on the shores of switzerland\u2019s lake geneva with flo & eddie of the turtles , zappa had to stop the show . \u201che points to me , and sure enough , there was a fire on the roof , and i had to jump out a window , \u201d smeeton said . \u201cthankfully , no one was hurt , though all the equipment was lost .

moves briskly and efficiently toward its climactic encounter during the allied bombing of st . - malo , france , a couple of months after d - day . although the narrative consists largely of flashbacks , it\u2019s easy to follow because it focuses most sharply on only two characters , the blind child \u00admarie - laure leblanc , who takes part in the french resistance , and the very aryan - looking werner pfennig , a technocratic private in the service of the thousand - year reich .\nthis marks the beginning of lent , a 40 - day period of prayer and fasting preceding easter sunday . it is observed in memory of jesus ' 40 days of fasting in the desert . in the early centuries of christianity , there were strict requirements for fasting during the period of preparation for easter . although these rules have been relaxed in the western church , many roman catholics and protestants choose to give up a favorite food or activity during lent . there are many symbolic meanings to the use of ashes on this holiday . generally , ashes symbolize death . the priest or minister ' s placing of ashes on one ' s forehead in the shape of a cross is part of the preparation for fasting and resistance to temptation by those observing lent that ends in the symbolic renewal of life on easter . the word lent comes from middle english lenten or lente , from the old english lencten or lengten , meaning spring , the time of year when the days begin to lengthen .\npaul ' s notion that it was possible for gentiles to enter the congregation of god without some of the rules of judaism interestingly enough seems to be a conviction on his part that comes from his own interpretation of the jewish scriptures . in fact he gets it mostly from the prophet isaiah . paul ' s message of the conversion of gentiles seems to be predicated on the isaiah language of what will happen when the kingdom comes when the messiah has arrived and there will be a light to the nations ,\na light to the gentiles .\nand in that sense paul views the messianic age having arrived with jesus as being a window of opportunity for bringing in the gentiles into the elect status alongside the people of israel . so what paul is really doing is creating this apocalyptic message of what the kingdom is about to be , and the arrival of the gentiles , the engrafting or integrating of the gentiles who will come to believe in the true god of israel into the community of israel as the elect nation , then is one of the hallmarks of the messianic age .\nthat also means that there\u2019s

covered in her own blood , thanatos never considered the consiquences of his actions cause conspiring against the mighty zeus means conspiring against all gods as well and thanatos knows it better then anybody else .\nthe artistic advantage of black and white is that it heightens the impact of the film\u2019s violence and highlights the duality of good and evil . the lighting and contrast in the film noir style enhance the brutality of each violent scene . for instance , when the one - armed man is shot in the head in the snowy streets of krak\u00f3w , his seemingly black blood spreads through the pure white snow , and the stark contrast in colors emphasizes the split between life and death , good and evil . in some terrifying scenes , such as the evacuation of the krak\u00f3w ghetto , the lighting is kept dark , conveying a sense of panic and confusion . the white faces of the dead in the streets contrast starkly against the murky background . the same contrast marks the pile of burning bodies in the plasz\u00f3w work camp : the white skulls stand out in the pile of ashes . the women\u2019s faces in the shower scene at auschwitz are bathed in white light as they stare up in terror at the showerheads . the contrast of light and dark also marks schindler\u2019s face , which is often half in shadow , reflecting his selfish dark side . his face becomes more fully lighted as he makes the transformation from war profiteer to savior . schindler\u2019s list might not have had the same visual and emotional impact had spielberg made the film in color ."]}

processing technology developed by briefcam , an israeli company , makes looking through cctv footage a breeze . in some cases , 24 hours of video from a security camera can be searched in under a minute . the process works by showing only the bits that move . it essentially creates a summary of all moving events and plays that back as a synopsis superimposed over the static background image .\nwe encompass various forms of art . this gives us the advantage of working with a holistic approach . from borrowing concepts used in photography to approach a design , to producing a music video from an artist ' s perspective , or producing a cd through a marketing lens , we are able to integrate ideas from one art form to another . this allows us to understand art and express creativity in a unique way .\ni believe that vocal , conscious communication is received by us through ghost boxes by what i will call radio spectrum stochastic resonance ( rssr ) . in fragmentative reception , i believe that the entire radio frequency is at the others\u2019 discretion to utilize because the spectrum is energy , just like they are . if manipulation of light and objects is possible , then does it not stand that manipulation of radio frequencies is also possible ? it is my opinion that when a spirit wishes to speak , it needs to focus its intent ( be it thought or vocal ) and the communication it is trying to express will be presented to the ghost box researcher in the form of audible words , phonemes , and morphemes that are available on the radio spectrum at the moment of its speech . while the other \u201cspeaks , \u201d stochastic resonance pairs like syllables from the intended communication with like frequencies found in white noise and the radio spectrum ; the stochastic resonance causes these like frequencies to resonate with the intended communication and hence we have ghost box communication . this also explains how we get words that are spoken through a ghost box in much higher pitches than the human vocal range is capable of producing . the intended communication , whether they be in infrasound or ultrasound , we cannot be sure , and the voices that are produced physically through a ghost box are a results of resonating with matching frequencies in the form of octaves ( or other intervals ) within the human range of hearing .\nthe aim of the resource is to take young people through a journey of understanding and learning about the causes , effects , and legacies of violent extremism . by drawing on the experiences of people who have already gone down that path , my former life is a unique project that allows participants to engage with first hand accounts of radicalisation , extremism and the consequences . this works to develop skills such as critical thinking at a time when schools and colleges are looking to fulfil their obligations under the prevent duty .\nwhen a laboratory does dna testing on our blood , it is the leukocytes or white blood cells that provide the nuclear dna , as white blood cells do have a nucleus . even though they do have a nucleus , most white blood cells also do not go through cell division except in specialized cases , and like red blood cells they also originate in the bone marrow . red blood cells contain no dna since they do not have a nucleus or mitochondria ( another source of dna ) , which makes them useless for dna studies as well as growth studies .\nthe friends that we have on the other side are practiced at giving breakthrough communications to us here in the physical plane . i have numerous recordings of these voices , and of these voices help others to speak . most researchers have started calling these friends \u201ctechnicians , \u201d \u201cguides , \u201d or even \u201cangels . \u201d when they have mastered the ability to communicate with us through ghost boxes , they help other others do the same thing . it never ceases to amaze me when i hear one of my techs say to another other to just \u201cspeak\u201d to be heard .\nreception and waiting should never be an empty , anonymous room . there needs to be a warm , friendly , knowledgeable person on hand at all times to personally greet anyone who walks through the door . this person should not be just some minimum wage person hired without a thought . in many ways , this is the point person for your company , the public face . as such , this is actually an important pr position , and should be treated as such . if you need to have an operator to route calls , don\u2019t do it here . pr is too important to be distracted by call routing .\nthe other difficulty is searching through a mass of recorded images to see if anything has happened or to find a snatch of video of an incident known to have taken place . some of the cctv cameras watching a bank\u2019s cash machines now make that job easier by linking video footage to transaction data . other systems use analytical techniques , much like the real - time ones , to try to identify specific incidents . error rates , though , can be high . often there is no alternative to watching the playback manually , although if the footage is speeded up to make that process a little more bearable things can be missed .\nas a real world example , if you are familiar with the song \u201c show me the way , \u201d by peter frampton , you have heard a human voice resonating with guitar frequencies by use of a talk box ( vocoder ) . the amplified output of a guitar is fed through a hose into frampton\u2019s mouth and he controls the sound with his mouth movements . or , and even simpler example is talking into the back of a fan which every child has done to sound like a robot . speaking into the back of a fan allows your voice to resonate with the frequencies of the fan ( created by physical sound and white noise ) to manipulate your voice . either example show\u2019s how stochastic resonance manipulates a vocal sound source into another audible form .\nfragmentative reception is by far the dominant form of communication received by ghost box communicators and this is directly correlated to the quality of the ghost box being used . because phrases and words are manifested through many smaller sound parts , fr is easily dismissed by skeptics and critics alike as auditory pareidolia . if you have ever joined a ghost box forum or read some of the scathing articles online published by paranormal detractors , auditory pareidolia is the crutch that skeptics lean upon to dismiss ghost box communication ( and evp ) as a whole . pareidolia defines a vague sensory stimulus being interpreted by an individual as something meaningful . man is prewired to perceive the world in recognizable forms . so while one person whose life is prioritized by religion may see jesus in a cinnamon roll , others who do not share religious affinity just see a tasty treat .\nthe most desirable form of communication to receive from the other side is breakthrough reception . there are times when a voice is quite capable of breaking through the radio sweep to communicate a message unadulterated . this message may be very clear and stands alone ; or you may find one word said , in the same voice , separated by increments of time over a radio sweep . this voice will stand out above the sweep will typically formulate a comprehensible phrase that may or may not be in context with the ghost box researcher\u2019s session . i have therefore named this type of communication breakthrough reception in honor of konstantin raudive , who analyzed his 72 , 000 voice recordings and catalogued them in his book \u201cbreakthrough , \u201d was the founder of modern evp techniques , and most importantly he has remained active long after his death ( 1974 ) by communicating to itc researchers like myself from the other side .\nit is my belief , which is shared by most paranormal investigators , that all entities on the other side are in an energy form without solid body . we know from positive science that all that you perceive , all that you know in your entire life , is represented to you through electrical stimuli . everything that you are : your emotions , memories , thoughts and stored knowledge , are nothing more than the firing of direct current ( dc ) electrical impulses in your brain . there has long been a philosophical dialogue about the difference between \u201cbrain\u201d and \u201cmind . \u201d these electrical stimuli originate in your brain , but i believe these electrical firings are dictated by the mind which is separate from the human body . the \u201cmind , \u201d as separate from the \u201cbrain , \u201d is what you are . it is the soul . it is the energy that our body plays host to . it is consciousness that persists in its energy form long after the host body dies .\ni am not that much in favour of documentaries that have to with sensitive scientific topics like brain - computer interfaces , genetics , biology , energy etc . the reason for that is that usually these topics require extensive knowledge and in - depth analysis in order to fully understand the topic addressed ; something that is really difficult to achieve through a documentary . nevertheless , these documentaries are really well - structured , exploring state - of - the - art technologies with top scientists and not only they present complex notions in simple terms but also they are really up - to - date . although some episodes are far more interesting than others , all of them are well - directed , well - narrated and in general well - presented . being a scientist myself , i found all of them interesting and i would definitely recommend watching them even if you lack basic scientific knowledge . as aforementioned , the complex notions and difficult theories behind the science presented are given in an way that anyone can understand .\na typical ghost box enables communication by sweeping up , or down , the radio band in rapid increments . depending upon the box , the frequencies that are swept over can be in step formation ( ex , 91 . 5 , 91 . 7 , 91 ) or random sequence based upon a random voltage generator . every shack hack and p - sb model has predetermined time increments and the more developed boxes allow for a user sweep that can change increments based upon a control knob . the time that a ghost box remains on a singular frequency is known as the sweep rate . as the radio passes over the frequency steps during a sweep , a sound fragment comes through ; the box will remain on that frequency for a time determined by the box itself . based upon the sweep rate of the box , that fragment can be a whole word ( s ) , or it may just be a phoneme ( s ) or morpheme ( s ) ( a phoneme is the smallest singular sound that is recognizable by the human ear , such as the \u201cr\u201d in rat ; a morpheme is the smallest grouping of sounds that convey meaning , such as the \u201c - ed\u201d in \u201ctalked\u201d ) . as the frequencies continue to scan at a rapid rate , these words , phonemes and morphemes can combine to form words and phrases that are direct communications . i call this type of frequency manipulation fragmentative reception ( i have used the word fragmentative for this paper because the \u201c\u2013ative\u201d suffix is an active suffix meaning \u201ca tendency for\u201d whereas the suffix \u201c\u2013ed\u201d is passive and past tense , so the term fragmented does not have the same meaning as fragmentative ) .\ncropped screenshot of lorne greene from the television series bonanza . ( 1960 ) . ( photo credit : wikipedia )\non january 16 , 1973 , bonanza airs its last episode on nbc . canadian lorne greene played the patriarch of the clan , ben cartwright , in the show .\nborn lyon hyman green on february 12 , 1915 in ottawa , ontario , he became a canadian icon . in his biography , the author , his daughter linda green bennett , stated that it was not known when he began using \u201clorne\u201d , nor when he added an \u201ce\u201d to green .\nhe began acting while he was attending queen university , in kingston , ontario , where he acquired a knack for broadcasting with the radio workshop of the university\u2019s drama guild on the campus radio station . his voice quickly propelled him to prominence as one of canada\u2019s top newscasters .\nbefore his role on bonanza , green was best known as a reporter ; he was the cbc\u2019s main announcer during world war ii . because of his voice , he was nicknamed the voice of doom , especially when reporting the war\u2019s gloomy events . he also appropriated the nickname the voice of canada by cbc .\nan on - air mistake during one of his broadcast was , \u201cwestern farmers are expecting their biggest crap in years . \u201d funny .\nduring his radio days , greene invented a stopwatch that ran backwards . its purpose was to help radio announcers gauge how much time they had available while speaking . his patent was the source of some wealth in the pre - computer era of filming .\nhe also narrated documentary films , such as the national film board of canada \u2018s fighting norway ( 1943 ) . in 1957 greene played the role of the prosecutor in the movie peyton place .\nin 1959 he starred in the infamous tv show bonanza , until the show\u2019s cancellation in 1973 , after a 14 - year successful run .\npost - bonanza , greene became known for his role as commander adama , another patriarchal figure , in the science fiction feature film and television series battlestar galactica ( 1978\u20131979 ) and galactica 1980 ( 1980 ) .\nin the 1960s , greene recorded several albums of country - western / folk songs , which he performed in a mixture of spoken word and singing . in 1964 , greene had a # 1 single on the music charts with his spoken - word ballad , \u201c ringo \u201c .\nin the 1980s , greene devoted his energies to wildlife and environmental issues . he was the host and narrator of the nature series , lorne greene\u2019s new wilderness , a show which promoted environmental awareness . he also appeared in the hbo mockumentary the canadian conspiracy , about the supposed subversion of the united states by canadian - born media personalities . for nearly a decade , greene co - hosted the macy\u2019s thanksgiving day parade on nbc , with co - star betty white . he is also fondly remembered as the founder of toronto\u2019s academy of radio arts ( originally called the lorne greene school of broadcasting ) .\nhe was made an officer of the order of canada on october 28 , 1969 , \u201cfor services to the performing arts and to the community . \u201d he was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree by his alma mater , queen\u2019s university , in 1971 . greene wa the 1987 recipient of the earle grey award for lifetime achievement at the canadian gemini awards . he has a star on the hollywood walk of fame at 1559 n . vine street .\nin may 2006 , greene became one of the first four entertainers to ever be honoured by canada post by being featured on a 51 - cent postage stamp . it was part of its honouring of \u201d canadians in hollywood\u201d series ; others honoured were john candy , fay wray and mary pickford .\nhe became best friends with canadian john colicos ( december 10 , 1928 \u2013 march 6 , 2000 ) . together they did a 1952 canadian radio performance of joseph conrad\u2019s novel , \u201c heart of darkness \u201c . in addition , colicos played the evil character count baltar in the original incarnation of battlestar gallactica ( 1978 ) .\nto learn more about this great canadian icon , start where i did : wikipedia ( urltoken ) , bonanza : scenery of the ponderosa ( urltoken ) , the internet movie database ( urltoken ) , and tv and media trivia tribute ( urltoken ) .\nnice post . i have fond memories of watching bonanza , when i was a child .\ni was just thinking of lorne green this morning because once a upon a time , i used to work for an advertising agency . met him at work . and you have read my mind .\nwow , that must have been exciting ! i expect he must have been charismatic , was he ? i really liked bonanza and battlestar gallactica , and he really did portray the \u201ccomforting , yet stern - when - he - had - to - be dad\u201d . : >\nehem\u2026 i don\u2019t really pay too much attention on actors / actresses . he was personable with beautiful smile as far as i can remember . i\u2019m proud because he is a canadian . \ud83d\ude00\non july 9 , 1825 , fort douglas on the red river was sold to robert logan for \u00a3400 . you can read more at the manitoba\u2026 urltoken sent 8 minutes ago\non july 9 , 1811 , david thompson claimed the area at the junction of the snake and columbia rivers for britain . sent 1 hour ago\non july 9 , 1793 , upper canada prohibited the importation of slaves . historica canada has a very good account of the\u2026 urltoken sent 4 hours ago\non july 9 , 1792 , john graves simcoe swore in members of upper canada\u2019s first executive council . sent 5 hours ago\nenter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\ncanadian history . canadian trivia . brevity . . . bite - sized . proud to be canadian ( most of the time ) . colourful past , interesting people and places - - can i tell you about it ?\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\njust six months after its creation , the national film board was faced with a major challenge . with the start of the second world war , production would have to be altered . not only would the nfb\u2019s mandate be to show canada to canadians and the rest of the world but it would now also serve as an important cog in the war information machine .\nto understand the context in which propaganda films were made , we must look back to what communications were like back then . in 1940 there was no television or internet . people got their news from newspapers , radio and newsreels at their local cinema . newsreels were usually 10 - 20 minutes long and shown just before the feature film . it was the only way people could see images of what was going on in the world .\ntime inc . \u2019s american march of time series produced out of new york was one of the best known in the world . they would issue one film a month to be shown throughout north america and in the english - speaking world . with an obvious american slant , these films were very popular but did not address canadian issues or concerns , especially about the new war in europe .\nnfb film commissioner , john grierson , working with the wartime information board , decided that a new theatrical series would be created to provide canadians with a uniquely canadian view of the war as well as to inspire and encourage canadians to be part of the war effort \u2013 a not too subtle attempt at fostering national unity .\nthe series was designed to show canada\u2019s achievements in a wide variety of fields , including those in the war at home and on the fighting fronts . the series was produced at the rate of one issue a month , starting with atlantic patrol , released in april 1940 .\nwhile it was originally planned as a series for the duration of the war , it was decided to keep producing it afterwards with the focus on canada at peace , describing canadian contributions in science and welfare ; industry and crafts ; and music and art . a total of 199 issues were produced before the series was canceled in 1959 .\nduring wartime the series was produced in co - operation with the public information division of the department of national war services ( later to become the wartime information board ) . footage was obtained from a variety of sources : film libraries in the usa , allied forces cameramen and the enemy . captured footage from the latter was obtained when allied ships intercepted enemy ships and confiscated propaganda films produced by the nazis .\nthe series was produced in 35 mm specifically for the theatrical market . each issue would be shown in around 800 theatres throughout canada over six months . distribution was handled by columbia pictures of canada . the nfb had made a deal with famous players cinemas of canada to ensure that canadians from coast to coast had access to these films .\nafter the six months were up and the theatrical tour was finished , the films were made available on 16 mm for showing in schools , libraries , church basements and factories . this non - theatrical distribution extended the life of these films for another year or two . the films would also be made available to various film libraries , throughout nine provinces , operated by university and provincial authorities .\nthe series was produced in french too , under the title en avant canada , and distributed in quebec and new brunswick by france film distribution in 60 theatres . in french , 8 to 12 issues were produced each year \u2013 some were versions of the english titles , others original material . this series was canceled in 1959 after 173 issues .\ninternationally some of the films were also distributed in australia , the uk and usa ( by telenews ) , in india ( by fox ) and the west indies ( by inter - continental ) . these were usually the titles that dealt more with international than canadian issues . among these was warclouds in the pacific , released just one week before the japanese bombing at pearl harbour . the film eerily warned of an imminent japanese attack . it was not long before every american wanted to see this film to better understand the menace from the far east .\none of the most famous films from this series was churchill\u2019s island , released in canada in june 1941 . it was later released in the usa and won canada\u2019s ( and the nfb\u2019s ) first oscar\u00a9 for best documentary short subject .

year old filmmaker dubbed by the press an as \u201cinfant lars von trier . \u201d without clich\u00e9 or pity , he presents an eye - opening portrait of the disabled in russia . his documentary - style dramatic feature debut is a passionate attempt to not only show the handicapped as normal people , but to expose the injustices of the educational situation in this powerful and shocking drama . director biography ivan i . tverdovsky is a graduate of russian institute for cinematography who was awarded at multiple russian and international festivals for his previous documentary works . correcton class is ivan\u2019s debut feature work .\nthe scene\u2014told in an improvised documentary style , with hand - held shots and jump cuts\u2014functions as both true - to - life metaphor ( reflecting the experience of millions in russia ) [ 1 ] and acrid , cringing comedy ( particularly when coming immediately after a brutal gang rape scene ) . tverdovskii often treads this thin line between exploitation and outrage , diving deep into subject matter which most other directors ( and audiences ) would prefer not to even countenance . [ 2 ] as a result , corrections class is the most insightful , unflinching and hell - raising feature ever made about disability in russia . its message : the disabled\u2014despite much lip - service to \u201cinclusivity\u201d and enlightened educational practice\u2014rise to the top of no one\u2019s priority list ( to put it mildly ) .\nlena ( masha poezhaeva ) is a bright and beautiful girl , confined to a wheelchair for most of the time . after studying at home for years , she is assigned to a special class for disabled pupils who have to prove to a commission at the end of the school year that they are \u201cworthy\u201d of attending \u201cnormal\u201d classes with other children . the class is populated by students who have a wide variety of impairments , from down syndrome , through bipolar disorder , to simple stuttering . such a fascist institutional set - up builds anger in the viewer right from the start .\nwhile the baseline is fixed with roc , the baseline of prc is determined by the ratio of positives ( p ) and negatives ( n ) as y = p / ( p + n ) . for instance , we have y = 0 . 5 for a balanced class distribution , but y = 0 . 09 for an imbalanced class distribution in which the ratio of p : n is 1 : 10 ( see fig . 2b ) . because of this moving baseline , auc ( prc ) also changes with the p : n ratio . for instance , the auc ( prc ) of random classifiers is 0 . 5 only for balanced class distributions , whereas it is p / ( p + n ) for the general case , including balanced and imbalanced distributions . in fact , auc ( prc ) is identical to the y - position of the prc baseline .\nbased on the book by ekaterina murashova . \u201ecorrection class\u201c is an artificially created school ghetto for problem children . the film\u0092 heroes are on the threshold of adult life . they still have a last chance to change their fate . the first love , the first rivalry and the first treachery await them .\nthe class is based on an autobiographical novel by author and former teacher fran\u00e7ois b\u00e9gaudeau , about working at a tough multi - ethnic school in the parisian banlieux . remarkably , b\u00e9gaudeau plays himself , or a version of himself ; he does it very well , although as teaching is all about putting on a performance commanding enough to subdue the toughest audiences , maybe that shouldn ' t surprise us . his class of 14 - to 15 - year - old kids in the film is made up of non - professionals , and their unobtrusively superb and authentic classroom scenes have evidently been devised through improvisation .\ndiscovering how these childhood acquaintances \u2014 and their loved ones and new loves \u2014 formed adult alliances was the complicated lesson plan of \u201cthe class . \u201d rewatching the series , which was recently released on dvd by the warner archive , it\u2019s clear that casual viewers would have a hard time keeping up with so many characters , even with a \u201cpreviously on \u2018the class\u2019 \u201d opener to each episode . critics warned the creators about this . a writer for usa today , for instance , warned that \u201c juggling such a large cast won\u2019t be easy . \u201d but experimenting with the sitcom form was what its creators had in mind from the start .\nthe network had given the series a high - visibility time slot : mondays at 8 p . m . as mr . klarik put it , \u201ci felt like gypsy rose lee when her mother threw her out on the stage . \u201d then a month later , cbs moved \u201cthe class\u201d a half - hour later , sandwiching it between two established hits , \u201chow i met your mother\u201d and \u201ctwo and a half men . \u201d the new show drew decent ratings . the writing was sharp . one critic , matt mitovich in tv guide , declared , \u201c i smell another \u2018mother\u2019 . \u201d but \u201cthe class\u201d never garnered the high nielsen numbers that show and \u201ctwo and a half men\u201d enjoyed .\nthe sheer lucid force of the class is compelling and exhilarating . cantet ' s final tableau shots of the empty classroom , like a deserted battlefield , made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle . there are very few films that can claim to make their audiences into happier and smarter people . i think this could be one .\nthe trickiest member of the class is souleymane ( franck keita ) , a boy from mali with family problems and a temper . souleymane cheekily tells fran\u00e7ois that he has heard the teacher\nlikes men\n- and insolently says that this is not his own accusation , just something he has heard . happily , fran\u00e7ois finds a way to get through to souleymane : he turns out to take great photos of his family on his mobile phone and fran\u00e7ois gets him to use these pictures in an autobiographical class project : it is a euphoric breakthrough . but things turn very sour when two girls are allowed to sit in on a staff discussion on standards and behaviour and gleefully report some disobliging remarks back to souleymane , who is deeply angry and hurt after his class - project triumph , with no vocabulary to express his sense of betrayal . fran\u00e7ois himself is coldly furious at the girls ' indiscretion and accuses them in class of behaving like\np\u00e9tasses\n-\nskanks\n- crucially losing his cool and compromising his authority . that crude insult ignites a violent row , which becomes toxic when fran\u00e7ois neglects to mention the\nskanks\nprovocation in his official report . when challenged , fran\u00e7ois airily insists he was not saying that they were\nskanks\n, merely that they were behaving as such - the same species of dishonest sophistry that souleymane used with his\ngay\njibe .\nat school , lena and her mom are told off by the officious principal ( veteran natalya domeretskaya ) for being late even though the building has no wheelchair ramps or elevators which means lena has to make the slow , painful walk up the stairs on foot . she soon meets her peers in the corrections class , a sort of holding pen for physically and mentally challenged students , most of whom would probably be blended into the mainstream in settings with a more enlightened attitude toward disability . shy , handsome anton ( filipp avdeev ) , for instance , has epilepsy . another girl ( maria uryadova ) has dwarfism . mitya ( artyom markaryan ) has a stutter , while his sister vitya ( yulia serina ) reports she\u2019s not actually sick at all . it\u2019s never revealed what\u2019s supposed to be amiss with ringleader misha ( nikita kukushkin ) , who seems perfectly able - bodied if clearly damaged psychologically , judging by later events .\ncost curves ( cc ) . the cc plots are also unchanged between balanced and imbalanced datasets ( fig . 5c ) . cc is considerably different from the other roc variants in terms of the interpretation of the plot . it shows the classification performances for different pcf ( + ) values that are based on misclassification costs and class probabilities . c ( - | + ) represents the cost of misclassifying positives as negatives , and c ( + | - ) represents the cost of misclassifying negatives as positives . p ( + ) and p ( - ) represent class probabilities for positives and negatives , respectively . misclassification costs are often unknown but can for example be estimated from the class distributions . for instance , misclassification costs can be c ( - | + ) = 1 and c ( + | - ) = 1 for a balanced , and c ( - | + ) = 91 and c ( + | - ) = 9 for an imbalanced dataset . this would mean that the misclassification of positives as negatives is considerably more expensive than the misclassification of negatives as positives . to get the pcf ( + ) value of 0 . 5 ( red dots with black circle in fig . 5c ) , the corresponding class probabilities are p ( + ) = 0 . 5 and p ( - ) = 0 . 5 for the balanced dataset and p ( + ) = 0 . 09 and p ( - ) = 0 . 91 for the imbalanced dataset . once the pcf ( + ) value of interest is determined , it is easy to compare the performances of multiple classifiers . cost curves are useful when the testing of various misclassification costs and class probabilities is required , but a good understanding of pcf ( + ) and ne [ c ] is mandatory .\nwhen elle attends her first class at law school , a classroom layout is placed in front of her . she does not write her name on it or pass it on , but when her teacher picks it up and looks at the layout she knows who elle is and where she sits , even thought she didn ' t write her name on it .\nin the end , mr . ferguson said , the cancellation of \u201cthe class\u201d may have been the best thing to ever happen to mr . crane and mr . klarik . \u201cif that\u2019s the way they\u2019re getting their sweet revenge , \u201d mr . ferguson said , \u201ci\u2019m hoping more horrible things happen to them because they\u2019ll transform them into really wonderful , hilarious situations . \u201d\nlena is a bright , disabled girl who , after years spent studying at home , is keen to get back to school . she is assigned to a special class for disabled pupils who have to present themselves before a school commission at the end of the year in order to prove that they merit being moved back into a\nnormal\nclass . her enervated teachers , however , show absolutely no desire to motivate the students and help them improve ; on the contrary , they try to quash right from the start any interest lena shows in more complex study material . nevertheless , lena soon involves herself in the school routine and gets together with classmate anton . yet their transparent happiness is not to everyone ' s liking and repercussions soon follow .\nlena is a bright , disabled girl who , after years spent studying at home , is keen to get back to school . she is assigned to a special class for disabled pupils who have to present themselves before a school commission at the end of the year in order to prove that they merit being moved back into a\nnormal\nclass . her enervated teachers , however , show absolutely no desire to motivate the students and help them improve ; on the contrary , they try to quash right from the start any interest lena shows in more complex study material . nevertheless , lena soon involves herself in the school routine and gets together with classmate anton . yet their transparent happiness is not to everyone ' s liking and repercussions soon follow . written by anonymous\nas the story goes , the show\u2019s producers and its director , the veteran james burrows , were so convinced \u201cthe class\u201d would be a hit that they celebrated its pickup to series in lavish fashion . \u201cthey flew all of us to vegas on a private plane for the evening , \u201d recalled lizzy caplan , who now stars as the sex therapist virginia johnson on showtime\u2019s \u201cmasters of sex . \u201d\nclass imbalance\u2014a difference in the numbers of positive and negative instances , usually with the negatives outnumbering the positives\u2014occurs in a wide range of scientific areas , including the life sciences , where unequal class distributions arise naturally [ 6 \u2013 9 ] . the classification of imbalanced datasets is a relatively new challenge in the field of machine learning [ 5 , 10 ] . while many solutions for binary classification on imbalanced data have been proposed [ 5 , 11 ] , they are mostly related to either data resampling [ 7 , 12 \u2013 14 ] or model - training [ 15 \u2013 19 ] . despite the development of state - of - the - art solutions for the building of classifiers with imbalanced data [ 5 , 11 , 20 ] , selecting a suitable performance evaluation method is often underestimated .\nalthough the leads are trained actors , mostly students at director kirill serebrennikov \u2019s theater academy , the performances from non - professional performers blend seamlessly with the ensemble , evincing a proper directorial skills from tverdovsky . shot mostly on handheld rigs by dop fedor struchev , the film has some of that immediacy and ebullience seen in the better high - school - set films , like laurent cantet\u2019s the class .\nit was a sitcom about philadelphia - area third graders who reunited in their late 20s , and it was spun from the fertile minds of david crane , a creator of \u201cfriends , \u201d and jeffrey klarik , a writer - producer of \u201cmad about you . \u201d in the fall of 2006 , \u201cthe class\u201d was the new cbs show with the season\u2019s highest hopes . it was not to be dismissed .\ncan i call the inmate or can he / she call me while in the reception process ? while in reception center , the inmate will not have telephone privileges nor will he / she be able to receive packages . however he / she can receive mail and writing supplies . the majority of prisons allow 10 stamped envelopes , and a writing tablet to be mailed in first class mail to the inmate .\nthe inmate reclassification score sheet is used to review and update an inmate\u2019s custody rating throughout his / her incarceration in the mississippi department of corrections . the purpose of the reassessment process is to ensure the inmate\u2019s placement in the least restrictive environment while ensuring public safety and the security of the institution , staff and all inmates . the custody rating is based upon an assessment of eight ( 8 ) items that are scored on a numerical scale . these items have been found to be associated with institutional conduct and risk of escape and , thus , help to identify the type and level of risk likely to be presented by the inmate . the reclassification score sheet is used when making decisions relating to the inmate\u2019s facility re - assignment , program eligibility , and supervision requirements .\nabout the result in gordon v . steele . she responds that the court held that there was not diversity jurisdiction . the professor replies that selma is correct . but , this is entirely the wrong answer . the court in that case held that there was diversity jurisdiction . merely getting a case wrong would seem trivial , but again this is literally the first case any law student studies in civil procedure , a first year class . how could a screenwriter get this basic case completely wrong ?\nlena falls in love with anton ( philipp avdeev ) , the \u201cpretty boy\u201d in the class . their relationship will turn out to be almost fatal due not only to the social unawareness of the faculty and the backwards , \u201ctraditional\u201d ideas of their families , but even more so to the cruelty of their peers . children are cruel , and children who have been subjected to malevolence in school , society and even their own families , only because they are different , often turn out brutal .\nthe cost curve ( cc ) is an alternative to the roc plot [ 12 , 28 ] . cost curves analyse classification performance by varying operating points [ 5 ] . operating points are based on class probabilities and misclassification costs . the normalized expected cost or ne [ c ] represents the classification performance on the y - axis [ 28 ] . it is similar to the error rate , and therefore lower ne [ c ] values indicate better classifiers . the probability cost function ( + ) or pcf ( + ) represents the operating points on the x - axis [ 28 ] . pcf ( + ) is based on the probability of correctly classifying positives , and it is calculated by class probabilities and misclassification costs [ 5 ] . the actual calculations of pcf ( + ) and ne [ c ] are considerably more complex than the calculations involved in roc and prc plots ( see supplementary methods in s1 file for the pcf ( + ) and ne [ c ] calculations ) .\nthe film\u2019s most potent scenes revel in such complexity , radically treating its subjects as flawed , even cynical human beings rather than mere moral paragons of suffering . nothing quite like them has ever appeared in russian cinema before ; they seem determined to flout audience preconceptions . an early scene in fact mocks the tired notion of the \u201cpathetic\u201d cripple : lena and her new friends from class beg for alms on the street\u2014and use the money for party supplies ( they exploit lena\u2019s wheelchair to cut in line at the cashier for good measure ) .\na biting satire of television , in which matt leblanc plays a version of himself as a once - famous actor headlining a dumbed - down american adaptation of a smart british series , \u201cepisodes\u201d has no problem poking the eye of network television . ( cbs , which canceled \u201cthe class , \u201d owns showtime . ) \u201cwe\u2019re very discreet about saying who might inspire whom , \u201d mr . crane said . \u201cthe characters are invented to a great degree . but practically every single thing that has happened on \u2018episodes\u2019 has happened to one or both of us . \u201d\nthe fact that he is a\nhigh - powered defense attorney\nmeans he can pick and choose his cases and charge exorbitant amounts of cash so he doesn ' t need to take very many cases to stay wealthy . as such he ' d have all kinds of time to teach a full - time class at harvard law . the money he gets from that would mean even fewer cases he had to take on . the\nembryo lesson\nwas only to give an example of what works in the courtroom ; things that may prove useful in a criminal hearing .\nit is important to recognize that the evaluation in the training phase is different from the evaluation of the final model . the first phase is to select the most effective and robust model during training . it usually divides a training dataset further into training and validation subsets , for example for cross - validation [ 21 ] . the second phase is to evaluate the final model after the training . ideally , the test data of this phase reflects the class distributions of the original population even though such distributions are usually unknown . this article exclusively analyses the performance evaluation of the final model .\ntverdovskii does incline to dostoevskian scandal : another tryst between lena and anton at the latter\u2019s home ends similarly , with the couple interrupted by anton\u2019s horrified mother polina grigorevna ( ol\u2019ga lapshina ) . disability and teen sex : two things guaranteed to send adults in this film into hysterics . [ 12 ] and certainly correction class \u2019s most flagrantly exploitational scene\u2014the gang rape\u2014will go too far for some viewers . why show the disabled in such a contemptible , inhuman light , tormenting one of their own ? might not such imagery undo the film\u2019s attempts to cast them as fully - fledged people rather than monsters ?\nthere was no error in that scene . when the professor asks vivian if there was diversity jurisdiction\nin this case ,\nshe was referring to elle being kicked out of class . at the very end of that exchange , just before the scene changes , the professor begins to ask vivian ,\nwhat about in gordon v . steele ?\nshe was merely trying to contrast the two scenarios . incidentally , not all civ pro professors choose to use gordon v . steele to instruct their students on diversity jurisdiction cases , nor do they all choose diversity jurisdiction as the very first topic to cover in the course .\nwhile the 58 studies vary across a wide range of research fields , five studies are from the field of microrna ( mirna ) gene discovery ( table f in s1 file ) . mirnas are a class of small rnas that have important regulatory roles in plants and animals [ 53 ] , and finding genome locations of mirna genes is a popular but challenging field in bioinformatics [ 54 ] . we selected the mirfinder study [ 30 ] for re - analysis with prc for three reasons : it uses roc in conjunction with imbalanced data , the test data is available , and the classifier can produce scores , which is necessary for being able to create roc and prc plots .\ndisability in russia today indeed , 21st - century russians with disabilities , especially outside the country\u2019s major population centers , continue to live a second - class existence that would be recognizable to their counterparts from a generation ago\u2014and in some ways to their early soviet ones as well . lena\u2019s plight , for example , recalls both ksenia klimova\u2019s reality - based short story \u201csteps\u201d from the early 1990s\u2014\u201canyone who has ever seen a person in a wheelchair climbing a staircase by pulling themselves up along a handrail , will never forget it\u201d ( klimova 1996 : 143 ) \u2014and post - wwii reports that red army veterans in need of prosthetic limbs often had trouble entering the very facilities designated for their fittings .

aged children , a structure that could just as easily pass for a factory or a mental asylum . on her way to her first day at school , pretty 11th - grader lena ( maria poezhaeva ) , who has myopathy which confines her mostly to a wheelchair , and her mother ( natalia pavlenkova ) have to wait to cross a railway line . another teenager has been killed on the tracks , sounding a somewhat too obvious symbolic note of doom .\nall the kids will soon be assessed at an upcoming , cross - body commission about whether they can be blended into the mainstream . some , like lena , hope this will be the case in order to improve her future job prospects , but others have given up all hope of integration .\nat first , sparky , naturally defiant lena fits right into the core gang , who bring her along , despite her limited mobility , on their excursions to the railway tracks where they like to play games of chicken by lying down on the tracks and letting trains whizz over them . she , in turn , teaches them how to beg for money to buy booze and candy . although misha is clearly attracted to her , she soon pairs up with anton , but their budding romance creates jealousy in the group and sparks outrage among the adult world when the two are caught making out in the toilet and later are caught in flagrante delicto in bed by anton\u2019s vilely prejudiced mother ( olga lapshina ) .\nthe third act takes a brutal turn , even judging by the standards of so -

shod over the wishes of parents and children .\neven so , it\u2019s refreshing that dmitri lanchikhin and tverdovsky\u2019s script , freely adapted from a novel by ekaterina murashova , takes pains to point out that at least some of the adult figures aren\u2019t completely callous . there are subtle hints that underfunding , poor training and the endemic xenophobia of russian society are the real villains here .\nlena is immediately taken in by her new school friends , hanging out after school in scenes that capture the wild giddiness of teenage freedom . they scam money for snacks , hang out by the train tracks , flirt and tease and fight . their main hobby ( aside from bullshitting ) is tempting fate lying underneath oncoming trains ( the dead boy was one of them ) . they do it for the adrenaline rush , and the activity captures that razor\u2019s edge between dangerous fun and outright body horror on which the film tiptoes .\nlena is drawn to the handsome anton ( filipp avdeyev ) and first love blooms quickly . tverdovsky perfectly captures the headrush and raging hormones of teenage love . but their flowering sexual tension reverberates throughout the group , sending shockwaves that spur the gossipy vika and the brutish , violent misha ( nikita kukushkin ) , not to mention the parents and teachers .\nthe camera is a constantly roaming and immediate entity , in the mix of the group of kids at eye - level . the sound design also emphasizes the immediacy , the dialogue constantly overlapping and interrupting . the audience is positioned as a member of the group itself , privy to all the intimate moments , conflicts , slights , outrageous joy , and deep wells of darkness among them . the adults ( and it\u2019s interesting to note it\u2019s all women , there is but one male adult in the film , briefly ) attempt to exert moral superiority over the kids , but they are just as , if not more , chaotic and corrupt , their scolding and yells a cacophony that sometimes erupts in a flurry of slaps and smacks . lena faces outright discrimination at her school for her disability , from the very first second , as she and her mother fight their way through a crowd , up and down steps , scolded for being late by the very , very evil headmistress . lena is damned on all sides for her body : for its disability , and for its sexuality . she takes it with her head high , laughing in its face most days ."]}

( the answer to the second , \u201cwhat is the best film in theaters right now ? \u201d can be found at the end of this post . ) send suggestions for future questions to sam at indiewire dot com .\nwhen i hear \u201cindependent film\u201d these days , i think of something not financed and / or distributed by one of the major film studios . it may come from a smaller department within one of these large companies , but odds are it was made for less than $ 10 million and there\u2019s typically a limited number of screens on which it will screen . the film might star one or many recognizable actors , all of whom took a giant pay cut because they believed in the material , but probably not someone who\u2019s won an academy award in the last few years . i don\u2019t mind using \u201cindie film\u201d for these kinds of movies , but for the modern micro - budget , no - name equivalents of slacker , clerks , and pi , maybe something like \u201cdiy film\u201d is more appropriate . that term suggests that the film truly was made independent from the studio system with more than just filmmaking performed by its creators .\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\n. moore protested her husband\u2019s firing by walking out on the film she was acting in at the time , and threatened to retire . first national responded by threatening to sue . eventually they came to an agreement , and both moore and mccormick returned to the studio . the first film moore made after the incident was\nwhen the title appears at the end , and the trio presumes the movie was filmed backwards , wondering what kind of crazy director would film their movie backwards . . .\nas a descriptor , \u201cindependent film\u201d does still mean something \u2014 consider all of the low - budget films that are released simultaneously on vod and in theaters , something that still seems very far out of reach for anything with a moderately big budget or actors attached \u2014 but it\u2019s not as easy to pinpoint as it used to be . when , say , the weinstein company has its own smaller distribution arm ( radius ) to release something smaller than philomena or august : osage county , the concept of independent film is expanded to a near - comical point . i\u2019d say that , ideally , a film that\u2019s crowdfunded on kickstarter or indiegogo is closer to a true \u201cindependent\u201d film , but then , the upcoming veronica mars movie isn\u2019t that independent . \u201cindependent film\u201d still means something , but i think it\u2019s becoming a more crowded field , as opposed to something that\u2019s soon to be replaced .\nin 2012 , west of memphis , the documentary film based on echols\u2019 story , directed by academy award nominated filmmaker amy berg and produced by echols and davis in collaboration with the multiple academy award winning team of peter jackson and fran walsh \u2014 both long time supporters of echols \u2014 premiered at the sundance film festival and was released to theaters in late december .\nsnape : what would three young gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside . . . on a day like this ? bill ( as harry ) : we were going to eat dinty moore straight from the can and leer at the victoria ' s secret catalogue . oh wait , that ' s you , professor !\nfirst off i want to say that i ' m not going to write about neither the plot nor the contents of this film , while it ' s rather unnecessary . the best way to describe\ndirty pretty things\n, is in my opinion , that it is like a beautiful poem . it flows easily and because of the fact that the cast are such good actors / actresses , almost every scene in the film affects you in some way . this is certainly not another hollywood flick , because of the fact that it is so realistic . at times you actually forget that you are watching a film . chiwetel ejiofor , audrey tautou , sergi l\u00f3pez and the rest of the brilliant cast were new to me but i am going to keep following their careers , as i am hopeful that they will rise and get recognized for the great actors that they are . i strongly recommend this film , for it is most certainly like a breath of fresh air in the otherwise monotonous movie jungle . . . i easily give this film a 9 out of 10 .\nfor me , \u201cindependent film\u201d is about the circumstances under which a film is made . when a filmmaker doesn\u2019t have to worry about market research or product placement or what some higher - up has to say , then that\u2019s independent , regardless of how much it costs or who\u2019s writing the checks . likewise , a film made completely outside of all traditional forms of financing and distribution still may not be independent if there are behind - the - scenes moneymen who can dictate choices . there just aren\u2019t that many truly independent films out there these days - but that number is thankfully increasing through crowdsourcing , which is fascinating and exciting , but also doubly burdensome on the viewer .\n. the film caused a sensation , and made the flapper style and look instantly popular . overnight , moore became the onscreen epitome of the flapper . she and mccormick married that same year , and both of their careers flourished .\nthat \u201ccolleen can\u2019t get a break . \u201d without missing a beat , another offer came her way : \u201calthough she signed with neilan and will begin work in a month , film director king vidor decided nobody but colleen would do as costar in his upcoming film opposite david butler , prevailed upon neilan to loan her out . \u2026miss moore is going to work as a vidor star beginning next week , instead of partying around with a certain handsome dark young man . \u201d\nby the way , are films disappearing from the site ? i did have down that the betty compson version of the little minister was on the site , but i ca ' nt find it now ( unfortunately i didn ' t save the url and i think it may have been under another title ) . nor can i find the film il veleno della parole . also , i know i watched a few minutes of the 1914 film focolare domestico which was at the the url :\nnever mind , again , because anna and the boy import dramatic interest into the story when it needs it . and director francis lawrence generates suspense effectively , even though it largely comes down to the monster movie staple of creatures leaping out of the dark , gnashing their fangs and hammering at things . the special effects generating the zombies are not nearly as effective as the other effects in the film ; they all look like creatures created for the sole purpose of providing the film with menace and have no logic other than serving that purpose .\n. though , blind , she is given sight the hero , who has fallen in love with her . the film was a hugh e . dierker photo drama production . though technically working for al christie , he was more than happy to let her pursue her career .\nindependent film has a meaning , but it\u2019s gotten more specific . it\u2019s no longer an umbrella term that applies to non - mainstream entertainment . this year\u2019s independent spirit best feature nominees , all good films , are an example of how the line between independent and wide releases are blurred ( e . g . inside llweyn davis is a nominee , and it\u2019s distributed by cbs films , which is hardly independent ) . nowadays true \u201cindependent film\u201d applies to work that eschews the system altogether . shane carruth\u2019s upstream color is a great example , as it was truly made without assistance from a boutique distribution company . this development is not a bad thing \u2014 it\u2019s genuinely heart - warming that large - ish companies embrace cinema \u2014 but it forces us to adjust what it means to make a film without the usual channels for help .\nthe film echoes , in its brief running time , the main plot and the story drawn from duhham ' s frustrated screenplay , with events being mirrored from one to the other as she pursues the next level of her relationship with her roommate . dunham is a recent college graduate , and creative nonfiction often plays like a sophomore project : her character is an awkward mary sue , the dialogue veers wildly between naturalistically affectless and calculatingly clever , and the whole film often plays like the work of someone who thinks she ' s the first person to have a good idea .\n, and in it colleen played indira , a young persian woman ; a more exotic background for her character than usual , though she pulled it off . the film was produced by hayworth pictures corporation , sessue hayakawa ' s own company , with its offices on the corner of sunset and hollywood boulevard ; after years of being shunted into stereotypical asian roles , sessue had formed his company to have control over his own material and productions . the film was released in early may , 1920 . just prior to its release , she has appeared as the blind girl mary harrison in\nin\ni am legend ,\nthe situation raises questions of logic . if neville firmly believes he is the last healthy man alive , who is the vaccine for ? only himself , i guess . fair enough , although he faces a future of despair , no matter how long his cans of spam and dinty moore beef stew hold out ; dogs don ' t live forever . and how , i always wonder , do human beings in all their infinite shapes and sizes mutate into identical pale zombies with infinite speed and strength ?\nas the author of independent queer cinema , i like to think \u201cindependent film\u201d is a phrase that describes those filmmakers who are creating work outside the traditional , or mainstream parameters . writer / directors like todd verow and everett lewis , who make great gay films on micro - budgets and on their own terms . they resist big money and \u201cname\u201d actors and tell original stories . i admire them because they are truly \u201cindependent , \u201d insisting on operating outside of any studio system , much like john cassavetes did when he started directing and the term \u201cindependent film\u201d was first coined . in this digital age , where almost anyone can ( and does ) make movies , verow and lewis continue to forge their own paths for themselves and their fans , like me .\nreviews of the film were generally favorable . the dramatic mirror called it\na photoplay of remarkable direction , excellent acting . . . and perfect photography\n. the reviewer for motion picture news wrote :\nthere are enough elements in this feature to please every type of picturegoer .\npositive reviews appeared in trade papers variety , wid ' s , and the exhibitors herald .\nthis is a tough one . in the strictest sense , an independent film is a movie produced outside the hollywood studio system . but there are problems with such a reductive definition . the studios are headed toward a place where they just produce tent poles . it\u2019s unclear what \u201chollywood studio system\u201d even means in 2014 . clearly , the \u201cmajors\u201d don\u2019t tell the whole story . where do companies like annapurna pictures , cbs films and the weinstein company fit on that spectrum ? budget doesn\u2019t seem to be an appropriate limiting factor either ; in many ways , a $ 30 million film could be produced in the same fashion as a $ 200 , 000 production or a $ 50 , 000 film . i think of \u201cindependent\u201d more as a state of mind than anything else , connoting a willingness to tell a real story about real people unencumbered by megalithic corporate influence . it\u2019s sad that we\u2019ve gotten to a place where the standards have been so severely lowered that we need a special term for movies like that , and it\u2019s probably time to start thinking about a more useful way to consider what independent cinema really means . i wish i had the answers .\ndinty w . moore i s author of dear mister essay writer guy : advice and confessions on writing , love , and cannibals ( random house 2015 ) , as well as the memoir between panic & desire , winner of the grub street nonfiction book prize . moore has published essays and stories in the southern review , the georgia review , harpers , the new york times sunday magazine , the philadelphia inquirer magazine , and the normal school among numerous other venues . a professor of nonfiction writing at ohio university , moore lives in athens , ohio , where he grows heirloom tomatoes and edible dandelions .\nbtw , using david kiehn ' s great book on anderson ,\nde lafaard\n(\nthe coward\n) with broncho billy anderson must be\nthe cowboy coward\nfrom 1911 . he notes that a print of it exists at the nederlands filmmuseum and the summary of the plot matches the film exactly ( although the names of the characters were changed in the dutch titles ) .\nindependent film is a genre . an unclear , defined genre that filmmakers and studios seem to try and fit into . i also feel like it is , borderline , a derogatory term in this day and age . i don\u2019t use it that way , i rarely use the term in any way shape or form , but when i hear it used it is almost always with a negative connotation .\nwas released in october 1920 , and while colleen appears tense in many scenes ( almost afraid at some of the antics going on around her , although that could have been part of her characterization ) her comic timing can be seen getting better . the film was adapted for an oliver moresco comedy / musical play that had been a hit a year or so earlier , the play itself an adaptation of a play just a few years earlier called\nbella i love you . . . edward i love you . . . kevin oh , they love each other ? ! well , that hadn ' t been made clear to me over the course of the eight hours of film leading up to this ( speaking in an increasingly enraged and frustrated tone ) which consisted entirely of these two . . . idiots ! ! ! sitting in a field of buttercups ! ! ! mumbling about how much they love one another ! ! ! ! !\njerry ' s mother in law and a lesson in jealousy both have sidney drew , but paired with clara kimball young instead of mrs . drew . i found the former film the funnier of the two . i just watched father ' s hatband last night , and it ' s a way better print than the grapevine version found on the films of norma talmadge . it ' s sharper , better contrast , better framing , and more complete . so if you ' ve only seen the grapevine version , it ' s worth a look . cute film , too . another good vitagraph comedy that steve didn ' t mention is stenographer troubles , which has a great cast . i spotted norma talmadge , clara kimball young , lillian walker , and probably anita stewart ( can anyone confirm ? ) , as well as the featured cast of john bunny , florence turner and flora finch . who is the pretty girl who is the first stenographer ? does anyone recognize any of the men ? greta\nlast week , i saw that a nearby theater had put up posters for her and inside llewyn davis in a local bookstore , with an ad underneath that read : \u201cindependent film in denton . \u201d i don\u2019t know the ins and outs of how these movies were financed , but the wording of the ad threw me . are these really independent films ? her may have an \u201cindie\u201d feel , but it still opens with the warner bros logo front and center . to my mind , an independent film in today\u2019s world looks more like upstream color . carruth\u2019s fingerprints are everywhere on that movie creatively , but he also orchestrated its theatrical roll - out . her and inside llewyn davis aren\u2019t exactly \u201cmainstream , \u201d but they were put out by very well - oiled operations . to say that a movie is a bona - fide \u201cindie\u201d today , i think you would have to consider how that movie was released and not just how it was financed or how much control the filmmaker had over the project .\ncreative nonfiction isn ' t a disaster by any means . dunham , who has done interesting web design work for nerve , has a keen visual sensibility , and brings a solid grasp of composition and framing to the film , which is sometimes a joy to look at despite its low budget . it ' s unlikely that it ' ll get picked up for distribution without some major changes and a padded run - time , which is only likely to benefit its director , who needs to mature a bit until her storytelling abilities match her visual ones .\nonce filming was complete , moore went on a sailing trip with her parents , leaving the increasingly difficult mccormick behind . he stayed drunk the entire time she was gone , and insisted on re - editing the film in her absence . when moore returned , she found that he had shortened almost every scene , ruining the payoffs to all the jokes . fortunately , the editor had kept all the footage cut by mccormick , and he , moore , and neilan restored it while mccormick was drying out in a sanatorium . moore finally divorced mccormick in 1930 .\n( 1937 ) . at least two incidents in the film were based on their life : a drunken mccormick once attempted suicide by walking into the ocean , although , unlike the fictional norman maine , he survived ; and , in 1927 , when he was fired from first national for his drinking , moore , then at the height of her popularity , phoned an executive at the studio and announced herself by saying , \u201cthis is mrs . john mccormick . \u201d adela rogers st . johns , one of moore\u2019s closest friends ( she would write moore\u2019s biggest hit , 1928\u2019s\noooh , thanks for posting the note about a vitagraph romance , that ' s a different version than the blackhawk version , which i have been told is the same as the moma version and just consists of the last part of the film starting with clara and jimmy going to the vitagraph lot , and has intertitles identifying blackton , et al . this one ended abruptly , i ' m not sure if it got stuck or if i really came to the end . anyway , i was certainly delighted to see that ( and will now need to update my website accordingly ) greta\nfirst on the slate was creative nonfiction , the feature film debut from lena dunham . the story involves a self - flattering college student who ' s involved in a quasi - platonic relationship with her male roommate , and is struggling to complete a screenplay which , for reasons of quirkiness and archaic hipsteris , she is composing on an old electric typewriter . if nothing else , creative nonfiction lives up to its title , as it mirrors the often - bewildering aesthetic of the ' fifth style ' of writing which brought us such heavy - on - the - creative , light - on - the - nonfiction stories as a million little pieces .\n( 1933 ) written by preston sturges and co - starring spencer tracy , but she came to recognize that she was too strongly identified with an era that had now passed , and she retired from the screen . after a brief second marriage , she wedded a widowed chicago businessman with two children in 1937 , and kept busy with philanthropic work , raising her family , and playing the stock market . she was a founder of the chicago international film festival . after her husband\u2019s death in 1964 , she moved to a ranch in paso robles next to the home of old friend king vidor . she remarried once more in 1983 , and died in 1988 .\nit wouldn ' t be terrible hard to get the beginning translations done of these with using ocr with screen shots . you would do the negative image function of your image software to get black text on white background . then you would copy and paste them to a larger sheet , and feed that into a common optical character recognition to get text that you could do computer translations with , and then re - enter and edited version of that into titled image files to re - insert into the film , or use as sub - titles . of course , having a fluent dutch proofreader would be important . - - robert pearson paramind brainstorming software urltoken telical books urltoken\ndid you ever get through the rest of the film ? i ' m kind of aghast what looked like the plot resolution as best as i could figure out with the dutch titles - - it didn ' t really match the afi description . the dream sequences were the best part , but i kept waiting impatiently for a dance sequence , but no such luck . she did take out a shoe and look longingly at it at one point . nice clothes and very nice sets , but very heavy with titles , and mae ' s not a particularly good actress . it came off to me as pretty ridiculous . i ' m looking forward to seeing her other films , though .\nthanks for posting . it took some work to get it to play but was worth seeing . marjorie daw has nothing really to do , but nice to see her in anything . i ' m pretty sure i spotted arhur hoyt . the site got me curious so i tried other actors and companies . i found\na vitagraph romance\n1912 with james morrison , clara kimball young and even flora finch . great scenes of the lot and some cameos . of course , the subtitles are in dutch . i also found an annie bos film from 1913 ,\nde lavende ladder\n, with , of course titles in english . it takes forever to get them to play , but maybe someone is willing to look for more .\nthese days i tend i think of it as more of an aesthetic descriptor than a real movement . that said , i do like the way that the \u201cindependent\u201d american picture is in a constant cycle of reinvention , and believe that this is a fundamental element of the american film industry . just as the new hollywood saw a sea - change in the industry , the post - tarantino boom of the early - 90\u2019s developed in to a new hierarchy of interesting , creatively - driven hollywoodcinema ( outlined in great detail in books like sharon waxman\u2019s rebels on the backlot ) . similarly i wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the current heavyweights of indie one day occupy the same kind of spots that the likes of paul thomas anderson and david o . russell do right now .\n\u201cindependent film\u201d as a sub - hollywood genre is long - dead , but the spirit of independently produced cinema will forever remain . startling films are consistently being made on the fringes , with the obvious winds of cheap technology and easy outlets for online distribution at the backs of artists everywhere . from alex ross perry to joshua oppenheimer , filmmakers continue to do their thing and many eventually break through to a more mainstream context . and here\u2019s the thing : because the possibility for actually making money is so remote , the motivations for making films in the first place is being fueled by some of the more interesting human impulses ( everything from political activism to the need to feed ego ) , which results in more interesting films . let\u2019s call this new wave the free cinema .\nanne waldman is a poet & teacher , and with allen ginsberg co - founder of the jack kerouac school of disembodied poetics at naropa institute in boulder , colorado in 1974 . during the late sixties she ran the st . mark\u2019s church poetry project , and gave exuberant , highly physical readings of her own work . she was featured along with ginsberg in bob dylan\u2019s experimental film \u2018renaldo and clara . \u2019waldman is one of the most interesting , vibrant and unpredictable members of the post - beat poetry community . her list of publications is voluminous . she has written more than 42 books , most recently kill or cure ( penguin poets ) and her book - length poem , iovis ( coffee house press ) . she is now working on book iii of iovis . waldman has been acknowledged as a major\u2013and a mature\u2013voice in american poetry . urltoken\nthe main problem with american prince is pallotta ' s hyperactive camera work , all wandering focus and unnecessary close - ups . instead of sticking with scorsese ' s measured , controlled focus , pallotta makes the mistake many documentarians do when faced with subject matter that boils down to a series of talking heads : he thinks the solution is to have the camera hop all over the place in what needs to me nothing more than a master shot of a man talking in a hotel room . but the camerawork is secondary to prince ' s unparalleled ability to hypnotize an audience with his stories , and that comes through in spades . he was present at one of the most dynamic periods in film history , and while he claims not to miss the movie biz at all , he accumulated enough stories during that time to entertain audiences for a generation . any opportunity to get him in front of a camera should be taken .\nfiction writer jennifer egan is the author of the 2011 pulitzer prize - winning novel a visit

is an interesting one . instead of getting into a long , drawn out diatribe , i\u2019ll just tell a story . a few weeks ago i was on a first date with someone and she brought it up to me that she didn\u2019t like independent movies . i resisted the urge to lecture her about generalizations ( though considering there was no second date , it wasn\u2019t like i had anything to lose ) and instead asked what she meant , and she said \u201cyou know , movies with actors i don\u2019t recognize and sad story lines . \u201d basically , i tell that quick story to illustrate that i don\u2019t think the average moviegoer knows what an independent film is anymore . when i told her that technically the wolf of wall street was funded independently , her mind was blown . she sees a shaky camera and thinks indie , not where the money came from or who\u2019s behind it , and that\u2019s probably a more common line of thinking than i realized .\nkevin : words wordswordswords words . . . words words

( the architect starts talking again ) gah ! the guy ' s like a parrot in a cracker factory . kevin : that ' s right , folks , the action flick of the summer ! the instruction manual for my snow blower is gripping compared to this clown ! mike : oh look , bite my nuggets , colonel sanders . kevin : look , jack perkins , could you sum up , my car ' s doubled - parked ! our priority , the next film will be two solid hours of fighting robots . bill : oh dear god , get off the screen ! kevin : words words wordswordswords words words .\nthe last screening of the night \u2014 and well - attended it was , too \u2014 was the documentary best worst movie . writer / director michael stephenson takes a look at troll 2 , an ultra - low - budget horror flick thrown together in 1989 by a hack italian director and a well - meaning but largely hapless cast . it so happens that stephenson was part of that cast : at 11 years old , he was the child star of troll 2 , which has gone on \u2014 by dint of its low budget , terrible acting , bizarre dialogue and completely incomprehensible plot \u2014 to become a cult phenomenon , widely beloved despite the fact that it is frankly terrible . stephenson sets out to gather together the people he worked with on the film , and come to terms with how troll 2 has been transformed from something they were all embarrassed to admit they had anything to do with to something that is a source of some pride , albeit in an incredibly perverse way .\ni ' m only halfway through\nthe right to love ,\nbut am impressed enough with that to comment . far from finding it excruciating , i think it ' s a stunning production in regards to the lighting , cinematography , and sets - all on good display in a beautiful , if damaged , print . one wishes there were more of george fitzmaurice ' s silents around to see . ( the opening title on the transfer miscredits direction to richard wallace , who helmed an unlrelated 1930 film with the same title . ) the acting from both murray and david powell is restrained , and very good . while it is a bit title heavy , it didn ' t seem extraordinarily so for the period . unfortunately , many of the shots are abbreviated , some lasting less than a second , which throws the pacing off kilter . it could also stand to be run a bit faster than 18 fps - not that i ' m complaining . delighted to be seeing it at all ! the plot is probably not to all tastes , but if you do have a taste for romantic melodrama artfully staged , i highly recommend it !\nthis question of \u201cwhat is an independent film\u201d has tantalized us for the better part of at least three decades , and has been answered through so many phases and filters for understanding the purpose of movies . each attempt at answering exposes an underlying set of assumptions of how we think independent movies should define themselves within / around / against / underneath the conventions of art , industry and politics . after all this time , i wonder if it\u2019s now better to simply abandon the term . what if we instead call all movies \u201cdependent\u201d films ? what if we focus our attention on how \u201cindependent\u201d movies , like all movies , are subservient in some way to a given set of ideological agendas and economic forces that drive them into existence ? our very desire for \u201cindependent\u201d may belie a dependency on our part : a belonging within a system , coupled with a desire to break free from it , a desire for freedom that itself threatens to enslave us in it . instead of seeking to understand that system more thoroughly , we seek to escape from it by embracing anything that offers itself as \u201cindependent\u201d . it\u2019s like a shimmering oasis at the far horizon of the desert of our culture , beckoning to us . this time , instead of rushing after it as i have so many times in the past , i\u2019m increasingly inclined to ask myself what i might do if it\u2019s not really there .\ndoctype html public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nthe bookreader requires javascript to be enabled . please check that your browser supports javascript and that it is enabled in the browser settings . you can also try one of the other formats of the book .\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 - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

chennai . \u2018ananda\u2019 tries to explore the many facets of human life and man\u2019s constant search for happiness . \u201cin other words , \u2018ananda\u2019 is the essence of my experience of dealing with the realities of life ; the need to view things from a spiritual aspect , \u201d explains the dancer .\ncareer as an actor looks more like the sensex graph now . it goes high and then suddenly tumbles down to near anonymity .\nalso grossed a lot of money . just when he seemed all ready to fly , his career hit turbulence in the form of a string of flops , including a much - hyped abcl film .\nas ajith ' s market began slipping , another young actor , vijay , surged ahead to take his place . people in the tamil film industry had almost written ajith off . and then came his new film ,\n( with simran ) and ajith is back again in the reckoning . it is considered as one of the biggest hits in recent times , perhaps bigger than even rajnikant ' s\nwith shalini , his 25th film . the young man has indeed come a long way .\nmet him . sophisticated , cultured , well - mannered , yet impulsive and frank , she found the young star easy to chat with .\nyou are from a non - filmi family . how did you get interested in films ?\ni dropped out of school after my tenth standard . but both my elder brother and younger brother are highly educated . my elder brother is a cost analyst in new york and my younger brother is a b tech in naval architecture from iit , madras . at present , he is doing research at the university of michigan .\nbut i , the middle one , was not into academics at all . i would not say i was not interested in studies - - it just wasn ' t there in me to pursue academics . i would open a page in the textbook and start thinking about everything under the sun except what was there in the book . i was more into extra - curricular activities and sports like ncc , rifle shooting , aero - modelling , bike racing etc .\ni don ' t want to put up this act of being a voracious reader , which i am not .\nno , no . i was very good at whatever i chose to do . i played cricket for my school . because i dropped out of school , i could not pursue cricket or ncc or anything connected with schools and colleges , further . i had to put an end to all such interests .\nno , not at all . i was on my own after my school days itself . after my school , i worked as an apprentice with enfield and got a diploma . from there , i moved on to garment exports . but modelling and bike racing were my favourite hobbies then . i pursued motor racing with more passion , as i wanted to be a professional motor racer .\nnow motor racing is picking up and you have people like narain karthikeyan doing so well . but when i was racing back in 1989 , it was considered only as a hobby . because it was expensive and sponsors were hard to get , i could not take it up very seriously . i used to finish fifth and sixth at the all - india level . still , i didn ' t get any sponsors . i guess it is the timing . you have to be at the right place at the right time . i was not there at the right time .\n) . but then nobody approached me with sponsorship and i didn ' t approach anyone either , as i was a fiercely independent person . people thought i did not need any help , as i always looked confident . even if i needed help very badly , i would not show it .\nno , no . i would say , i was fiercely independent . there is a very thin line between confidence and arrogance . i was very confident which was misconstrued as arrogance most of the time . but i can ' t help it , can i ?\nof course , of course . the split second decisions excite you a lot . everything happens so fast in the race . adrenaline is flowing all the time with people cheering you loudly . and , when you are on the bike , you forget everything . may be because of my character , i could relate to the sport very well .\nto be honest , motor racing . that was what i wanted to do . i wanted to be a professional motor racer . it was only due to lack of sponsors that i could not do it .\nyes , i guess the ability to take decisions fast has helped me a lot . whatever i am today in this industry , from nowhere , from scratch to be a successful actor is only because of that . i take my own decisions and there is no godfather to back me up . i have committed mistakes but i don ' t regret them , as they are all part of growing up . and i feel proud today to be where i am on my own merit , not having pulled strings .\nit was and it still is . the journey had been very difficult not only in films but in the other jobs too . i worked with a garment exporter for four and a half years , then quit to start a textile - processing agency . and then i lost a lot of money in the business . and i was only 20 when i started this business . i was racing and modelling too then . do you know all the money that i got from my modelling assignments was pumped into buying spare parts for my bike , helmet , etc ?\nit was then that i got an offer from poornachandra rao of the famous lakshmi production company to act in a film . they had seen some of my ads . that was how my first film ,\nhappened . but first film was shelved in between because of the director ' s death .\nlike any other normal person , i too was nervous . i wasn ' t excited at all , as there were a lot of other things , like clearing the debts that i had incurred in garment exports . i took to films only to make some money so that i could pay off all the debts that i had .\ni did not even think of continuing in films . i just wanted to clear my debts so that i could start my business all over again . after\nbecame a big hit , i thought , ' this time i am not going to let it go ' . see , i tried to pursue ncc , i couldn ' t . next came cricket . that also did not happen . then , motor racing . i couldn ' t do whatever i wanted to . but i met with a very serious accident after my first film . and that put an end to motor racing too , my passion .\nyes , it was a racing accident . a week before my race , we had a practice session and i had a very nasty fall . i injured my back and i had to undergo three major surgeries on my back . i was in bed for one - and - a - half years .\nit was . but i was always a gutsy person . i had always been a fighter in life . i never got anything on a platter ; i had to fight for everything in life , even when i was working , racing and acting in films . it has always been a big struggle for me .\ndo you know what happened during the shooting of my first film ? the director of my first film died in front of me and the film was shelved . i was only 20 then . you can say i have seen it all by the time i was 20 . finally when my first film got released , i was in bed after the race accident and i had to be in bed for one - and - a - half years . those were very depressing days .\nwork , work and work . once i started walking again , k subhash called and offered me\nwith nasser and radhika . that changed the course of my life to a certain extent . after\nyour films flopped one after another . what was the reason ? wrong choice of films or bad luck ?\ni was perhaps the only hero in indian cinema , i think , to have given five consecutive flops in a year . none of my five films ran for more than two weeks in any theatre ! is it not a record of flops after the huge success of\nterrible . it was very , very demoralising too . then i went through a very bad relationship , a relationship of three - and - a - half years . i am out of it now . so , a lot of things happened to me , both personally and professionally and those things shaped me , made me grow as a human being , sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse . it was traumatic for me , profession - wise , health - wise and relationship - wise .\nit was and still is very difficult to come to terms with all that . i still have not yet taken control of myself and accepted reality . i don ' t know whether i should describe my feeling as ' depressing ' . but sometimes i feel , things happened too fast for me . i guess i have the experience of a 40 - year - old .\nmy problems did not end there . i had one more back surgery in november 1998 and then in january 1999 too . i started shooting for\nimmediately after the surgery . so , work helped me get out of all those problems to some extent . if not for my work , i would have gone haywire .\nyes , i was escaping from all the bad experiences through work . just to forget all that , i worked . but today i enjoy my work . it is no longer an escape route for me . i enjoy my work so much that i try to be a part of all that is concerned with a film . i think i can be a good technician too now . my suggestions are accepted and appreciated by directors now .\ns hah rukh khan seems to speak in the mothertongue of his kaun banega crorepati contestants quite well . but when you switch on the popular gameshow on vijay tv , it ' s not srk ' s voice you ' re listening to . it is 28 - year - old shekar ' s .\nshekar does it all srk - style - - stutters , stammers and shivers in tamil - - exactly as srk does in the hindi version .\nbut shekar says , in his career as a dubbing artist , imitating srk has been one of the toughest jobs he has done so far .\ncoming from a family of theatre and film artistes ( shekar ' s father , the late k p rudrapathy was a theatre artist and his uncle a p nagarajan has directed memorable films like thillana mohanambal , navarathri and thiruvilayadal ) , it was natural for shekar to start a career in acting .\nbut it was p c sreeram who recognised the talent in his voice when he was just a child . that ' s when shekar started dubbing for other child artistes .\nshekar has also been writing tamil dialogues for warner brothers ' animated movies , besides scripting a 100 dubbed films for vijay tv and another 50 for others .\nthe first bollywood actor for whom he dubbed ( in tamil ) was aamir khan for rangeela .\ndubbing for aamir was easy because i speak like him ,\nshekar says .\nkbc is not shekar ' s first dubbing assignment for srk . earlier , he dubbed for him in swades , which was called desam in tamil .\ni was acting in my first film as a hero when the writer of desam , bharani told me there was a voice test for shah rukh . i listened to srk ' s voice for an hour and found it difficult to catch his pace and delivery . but i did a test dubbing for him . my voice was sent to ( director ) ashutosh gowarikar and his team . soon , i got a letter from gowarikar saying that he was happy with my voice .\nat the music launch , a r rahman said this is the best voice of shah rukh . what better compliment can i get after struggling for six whole days for desam ?\nshekar asks .\nthe kbc offer came from seventh channel , which also did the dubbing work for the show when it was hosted by amitabh bachchan .\ni was thrilled ( when i got the offer ) ,\nshekar says .\ni was told to keep myself free for the next six months . i said i would drop everything else and lend my voice for shah rukh only because he is the king khan .\nthese days , shekar sleeps only six or seven hours a day .\neven when i close my eyes , i see only shah rukh in front of me saying , come on , get up . there is work to do !\nhe exclaims .\nshekar still cannot forget the first day of dubbing . there were many people around him offering suggestions that really helped . it took 16 hours for shekar to dub the first episode . it came down to half that time for the next episode . for the third , it took him six hours .\nthe first episode was tough because i had to match shah rukh ' s speed . while scripting itself , i have started planning how to dub . because i am very fluent in tamil and i know sanskrit , it is not that difficult to keep pace with his delivery . i am talking like shah rukh now ,\nhe says .\nunfortunately , shekar could not watch the first kbc episode as he was busy with dubbing for the second one . soon after , his phone has not stopped ringing , as congratulatory calls kept pouring in .\nthe biggest compliment came from his mother .\nshe hugged me and said , i can ' t believe you are speaking so fast ! ' my mother has seen only the quiet me and there on television , i was continuously talking ! she was very happy ,\nhe says .\nnow , he thinks he ' s ' going mad ' . his conversation with his mother goes like this :\namma , what is there for dinner today ? a . samabar b . rasam c thayir saatham . '\nthough he has given his voice to many heroes , shekar says this is the first time that he has been recognised for his voice .\ni have to thank shah rukh for that . nobody knew i had dubbed for abbas or ajith or vineeth . now , everyone knows i am shah rukh ' s voice ,\nhe beams .\nis shah rukh his favourite hero ?\none of my favourites . my favourites are kamal haasan and sivaji ganesan .\nnow , all he wants is a call from shah rukh khan .\ni hope he calls me . i really want to talk to him and tell him that i ' m his tamil voice .\n\u00a9 copyright 2013 pti . all rights reserved . republication or redistribution of pti content , including by framing or similar means , is expressly prohibited without the prior written consent .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .\ni am an assistant professor , international political economy at sais \u2013 johns hopkins university . you can read my cv here .\ni study the relationship between group -

( the first two weren\u2019t exactly critical favorites , either , with air bud scoring a 43 percent on rotten tomatoes and golden receiver a dismal 21 percent . )\nfamilies can talk about the proper treatment of pets . does josh display responsibility in air bud when it comes to buddy ?\nfeatured in picture perfect / air bud / spawn / one eight seven / star maps ( 1997 ) . see more \u00bb\nair bud : world pup ( 2000 ) \u2013 josh and emma discover that buddy ' s ballplaying skills apply to soccer .\nacross the five air bud movies , i think this is the only shot that is clearly not executed by an actual dog .\nthe sports parts of these movies are ridiculous , and yet they\u2019re somehow less ridiculous than the b - plots : in seventh inning fetch , air bud\u2019s puppies get kidnapped by a raccoon trying to find out whether air bud\u2019s dna has a hereditary sports gene .\nair bud cast list , listed alphabetically with photos when available . this list of air bud actors includes any air bud actresses and all other actors from the film . you can view additional information about each air bud actor on this list , such as when and where they were born . to find out more about a particular actor or actress , click on their name and you ' ll be taken to page with even more details about their acting career . the cast members of air bud have been in many other movies , so use this list as a starting point to find actors or actresses that you may not be familiar with .\n00 : 10 : 17 : a box of memories for you to remember your memories by . goddammit , all i got you was this hat that says air bud 6 : bud goes to manhattan .\nin air bud , our titular canine helps his owner , josh , win a middle school basketball championship . it\u2019s surprising , but kids suck at sports .

gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll ! ! ! ! ! !\ntwenty years ago , in the summer of 1997 , disney released air bud , a movie about a golden retriever named buddy who can play basketball . it did well in the box office because there were enough people who wanted to see how the hell disney was going to execute this idea . then four more air bud movies were made over the next six years .\nso to recap , the u . s . becomes champion in a way - too - early women\u2019s world cup by having air bud save the day , which feels a bit like cheating . but i came to see a dog play soccer , and i think i got what i paid for , which is whatever netflix pays disney each time i stream air bud : world pup .\nexplore our expanding network of flight routes and see how far wizz air can take you .\n. and the plots . . . oh , the plots that intricately mix warmth and love with despair and hatred . . . shakespeare himself would have wept when that beloved dog puts on his jersy . and lest we forget those unforgettable offspring , i shall mention them now . for as interesting air bud ' s life is , a peak of film has arose with what critics call the greatest spin - off in any existence and form . air bud played soccer , but air\nit would have been enough for seventh inning fetch to end with air bud and andrea winning the state championship game . but no , they had to go further and take him to the world series .\n. he plays a different sport in each film ( basketball , football , soccer , baseball and volleyball , respectively ) . in air bud : world pup , he becomes the father of five puppies :\nof the first five films in the air bud series , this is the only one where buddy is not dognapped by the villains , and instead helps josh , emma , tammy and andrea rescue his offspring .\nvolleyball is an ideal sport for a dog . dogs run fast , are great at switching directions , and love hitting balls in the air . i could see a dog being excellent at sprinting across a court to dig shots before they touch the ground . every part of air bud playing volleyball is plausible .\ni\u2019m pretty sure dogs aren\u2019t supposed to hit balls that well with their mouths , but just like it says on the town sign that pops up at the start of every air bud movie , everything is possible .\nthe movie air bud turns 17 years old today ( that ' s 119 in dog years ) , so to celebrate , let ' s take a look at what the cast has been up to since 1997 .\nbuddy helps josh\u2019s junior high team to the championship game , but josh wins it on his own after buddy gets taken out . air bud is an unnaturally smart dog in this movie , but he\u2019s still a dog .\ni have no nostalgia for air bud . the idea to watch it never crossed my mind when i was 7 years old . it was a cultural blind spot that i shared with my colleague charlotte wilder , who also watched it for the first time this year . but with the 20th anniversary coming up , i decided to rectify my air bud - less life and watch all five movies , stopping short of watching the buddies spinoff series .\nactually , the air bud movies have contributed greatly to cinematic history . the utter genius of having a trained dog , of all things , star in his own movie is the most single - minded ingenuity since the concept for\nwe\u2019re running low on professional sports with significant followings at this point , but rather than move the family to canada\u2014which would have been fine , given that vancouver has been standing in for washington state this whole time\u2014and introducing buddy to the world of hockey , the series chose beach volleyball for the fifth and last of the \u201cclassic\u201d air bud movies , air bud : spikes back ( 2003 ) . josh doesn\u2019t appear at all in this one , which revolves around andrea\u2019s ( katija pevec ) attempts to raise money to go visit tammy after she moves to the other center of the air bud universe , san diego . ( whenever someone leaves fernfield , they\u2019re always san diego - bound . )\nsure , that works . never mind the fact that you\u2019d normally have to be a student with good academic standing to participate in your school\u2019s athletics . but who has time for nuance ? let\u2019s see air bud do his thing .\n00 : 43 : 01 : aww ! air bud ' s making a delicious ice cream sundae for his baby ' s momma . that ' s how we do it around our house when we ' re sad and fat .\n00 : 55 : 05 : the evil coach ' s son is miffed because his pops got air bud ' s team banned from the league . god , if that douchey speech is what gets him reinstated . . . .\nwizz air has a young , single type airbus fleet from the a320 family including a320s and an a321ceo . wizz air took delivery of its first a321ceo aircraft in november 2015 and will take over 20 more through 2018 .\na ir bud was released in theaters 20 years ago tuesday . in commemoration of this momentous cinematic event , we set out to interview some of the stars who made the movie a beloved family classic \u2014 but then we realized that nobody cared about the human actors involved . we liked air bud because of the dog who played basketball . so we set out to interview air bud \u2014 real name buddy the wonder dog , an actual basket - scoring golden retriever .

( air bud is rated pg , presumably for beer cans , but the rest are all rated g . ) but they\u2019re all so obnoxiously formulaic and syrupy that ranking them is a difficult task , because they all run together into one colorful blur of stupid pet tricks and stupider puns . and when you\u2019re that shameless , why not keep making them ? what we\u2019re trying to say is : call us , robert vince . we\u2019ve got a great idea for a sixth movie where air bud meets a streetwise pit bull in the boxing ring .\n00 : 49 : 00 : the conference has decided to disqualify your team . because you have a dog . and air bud . but why ? that doesn ' t make any sense ! how dare they use logic to thwart us ! it ' s unfair , i tells ya .\nthere ' s an air of acceptance throughout the film , but the movie never stops to stand at a pulpit and preach this message .\nin this clip , the air buddies are being chased , but find safety on the farm with billy the goat and belinda the pig .\nthe plan to launch wizz air was conceived in june 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise and successful track records teamed up with j\u00f3zsef v\u00e1radi , the company\u2019s chief executive officer . in just three months , wizz air was a registered company ready to fly .\nthe air buddies films focus on buddy ' s puppies , and they were all direct - to - dvd / blu - ray releases .\nthis transformation from small - town novelty act to multisport legend is remarkable . it also begs some questions . so to celebrate one of the most accomplished pups ever to grace the big screen , we watched all five * air bud movies and ranked them in order of plausibility , from most to least .\nmost of these scenarios are minor , and they step to the side to make way for air bud , but they\u2019re some of my favorite parts of the franchise because they\u2019re sincere . they make you feel for the characters and root for them , even when you know that everything will turn out ok .\nthen : in & apos ; air bud , & apos ; makken played framm\u2019s mom jackie . she was familiar to movie audiences thanks to her role as sister mary robert in & apos ; sister act & apos ; and & apos ; sister act 2 : back in the habit . & apos ;\neven if we presuppose that buddy understands the intricacies of baseball , though , seventh inning fetch would still be the least plausible air bud film by several miles . baseball would be one of the hardest sports for a dog to play , and yet it is the sport in which buddy achieves his greatest success .\n00 : 00 : 35 : air bud ' s been replaced ! do they do doggie botox ? or do they just let them eat dented cans of spoiled peaches ? i hear that ' s how they killed the presidents of the united states of america . the band , not the obama , because we probably would have heard about that . his album didn ' t do as well as thriller , but still . bud looks like a fucking irish setter . fucking gingers .\n00 : 06 : 37 \u2013 one possible explanation for the subtle narrative variation throughout the air bud franchise is that the clown put buddy in a coma at the start of the first movie , and everything that happens subsequently is merely a projection of an elaborate dream loop . that , or it\u2019s just lazy screenwriting .\ncompared to some of their more crass kids\u2019 movie counterparts , the air bud movies are relatively digestible . they\u2019re not trying to sell anything\u2014save for their own interminable sequels and spin - offs , which have now grown to include the air buddies series , the santa paws series , the pup star series , the mvp : most valuable primate series , and a smattering of ape - and / or dog - related movies unrelated to the rest of the air bud franchise . ( we\u2019re sticking with the original five for our purposes . ) they encourage kids to go outside and play sports , which is nice , if shame - inducing if one happens to be a full - grown adult sitting inside and watching these movies in air - conditioned comfort all day . and animals doing people things , as five minutes on youtube will prove abundantly and repeatedly , is never not adorable . even if the dog can be a real pain in the ass .\n01 : 26 : 40 \u2013 in spite of obvious budget cuts and a complete absence of nuance , spikes back is something of a return to form for the air bud series . that said , it\u2019s not a patch on the original , though in all honesty everything beyond that blurred into a seemingly endless aversion therapy session .\n01 : 09 : 04 : the close up pathos of air buddy . that ' s going on the memorial screen at the oscars when he dies .\nwizz air holdings plc .

the person who was killing off the\nundesirables\nin the sierra nevada foothills ? would she and her best friend , lennie , resolve the conflict in their relationship ? and , what about christy ' s

friend , lennie , in the sierra nevada foothills , it\u2019s not the vacation she anticipated . a murder has just occurred and christy is conscripted by the homicide team to handle the reports . to add to her frustration , she gets in a fight with lennie over her friend\u2019s arrogant boyfriend and has no place to stay . the detectives put her up in a forest ranger ' s cabin while he is away fighting fires . as the body count grows , it becomes apparent the killer is targeting undesirables in the town of burlap . one victim\u2019s girlfriends calls christy and accuses a deputy of the

harry is not a special snowflake that was right all along . that there are legitimate reasons the snitch was widely adopted , and that there\u2019s a long history behind what makes the sport what it is . any wizard who actually cares about quidditch is already aware of the snitch situation ( or \u201csnitch sitch\u201d ) and is deeply concerned about what to do about it . the real problem is that coordination is hard , and harry hasn\u2019t done anything to address that . and now , looking back on it , wow , there were so many other points in the book where this sort of thing was also the case , but harry was oblivious to it , and i didn\u2019t notice either .\nskipping through the graveyard in my puke - stained suit : growing up in 1970s rural p . . .\nthis role comes at a critical

long contacts with the some of them . one of them was r . k . ramakrishnan chettiar , ( brother of the famed statesman and onetime finance minster of india , sir r . k . shanmugham chettiar ) , who later founded along with naidu and others the famed central studios in coimbatore .\nanother friend was the equally dynamic and creative k . s . narayana iyengar in madras , who had promoted narayanan and company , and later , pakshiraja films . at first , naidu worked as iyengar ' s agent and looked after his interests in coimbatore . later he became a partner in pakshiraja films , only to opt out and promote his own company , and make films under pakshiraja studios banner . he built his own studio , pakshiraja studios , taking over kandhan studio and rebuilt it to his requirements and other creative needs . naidu ' s new studio was a model of discipline , cleanliness and one never found a cigarette or a \u2018bidi ' butt thrown around the campus .\ncentral studios launched production and their first effort , \u2018tukaram ' ( 1938 ) , was made in two languages - tamil and telugu . in the tamil version , the celebrated carnatic musician musiri subramania iyer played the title role , while the famed telugu stage and screen star , c . s . r . anjaneyulu did the same role in the telugu version . at the dawn of 1940s , naidu and iyengar decided to enter movie production and the two launched their maiden tamil production \u2018aryamala ' ( 1941 ) . produced under the banner of pakshiraja films at the central studios , naidu supervised production also involving himself in all the aspects of direction .\n\u2018aryamala , ' the kaathavarayan folk tale , had up - and - coming singing star of tamil cinema p . u . chinnappa as hero . he had made a splash with the modern theater ' s hit \u2018utthama puthran ( 1939 ) , in which he played a double role . in \u2018aryamala ' naidu introduced a new heroine to tamil cinema , m . s . sarojini .\nthe younger sister of another actress m . s . mohanambal , sarojini played minor roles in films . naidu gave sarojini the break casting her as the female lead . it also had t . s . balaiah , m . r . santhanalakshmi , n . s . krishnan and t . a . mathuram .\nrajan maharajan -

free comedy that stands out is a real tough job and all were not cut to deliver that .\nin the very early talkie films , there was nothing like a separate comedian . it was only later , as part of the evolutionary process of cinema , comedians came into being in indian films to provide a relief from the main story line , which , often , was heavy with emotions .\nthe early cinema ( we are talking about pre - nagesh period ) had a bunch of good comedians such as t . s . dorairaj , kali n rathinam , t . r . ramachandran ,\nsarangapani , \u2018friend\u2019 ramasami , a . karunanidhi , kakka radhakrishnan , \u2018kuladeivam\u2019 rajagopal , a . rama rao , chandrababu , thangavelu , muthulakshmi , t . a . mathuram , & m . saroja .\nbut the monarch of the tamil film comedians , undoubtedly , was n . s . krishnan ( nsk ) .\ntamil cine goers laughed their guts out at nsk\u2019s thought provoking jokes . nsk has often been compared to the legendary comedian , charlie chaplin . but , while chaplin scored with his slapstick comedy and body language , nsk relied more on his verbal humour , one - liners and subtle messages to the audience . his comedy , which also had its share of puns , was always wholesome at its best with no double entendre or misogyny involved .\nas we cannot justifiably cover all the stalwart comedians who tickled our funny bones in a single article , we hereby restrict our current write up to the monarch of them all \u2013 n . s . krishnan .\nn . s . krishnan was born as nagerkovil sudalamuthu krishnan in 1908 in a poor family . his childhood years were spent selling snacks in a theatre in his hometown & working as a ball picker in a tennis club . his lack of formal education was amply made up by his native genius & curiosity .\nlater , in his formative years he joined the celebrated drama company run by tks brothers . he was also proficient in a rural art form known as \u2018villu paattu\u2019 .\nlater he formed his own touring theatre group and traversed the length and breadth of erstwhile madras presidency with his plays , which always drew packed houses .\nnsk\u2019s entry into the celluloid world was through s . s . vasan produced and ellis dungan directed film \u2018sathi leelavathy\u2019 , where he was introduced as a comedian . though this was his debut film , his second movie \u2018menaka\u2019 got released before \u2018sathi leelavathy\u2019 could hit the screen . however \u2018menaka\u2019 was adjudged the best movie of the year in 1935 .\nit was during the shooting of \u2018vasantha sena\u2019 ( 1936 ) , directed by raja sandow , nsk \u2018met\u2019 co - star t . a . mathuram and both fell in love . their marriage was held in a simple manner , while the shooting schedule moved to pune , with raja sandow presiding over the \u2018wedding\u2019 . the couple got the honor of being the first real - life couple acting as couple of reel life too , between 1936 and 1957 , when they did a whopping 122 films , as a pair !\nn s krishnan , who popularly goes by his popular title , \u2018kalaivanar\u2019 , rose from humble beginnings as a \u2018villu paatu\u2019 artiste who became a master in the art of repartee . in tandem with his wife ta mathuram , he regaled audiences , often stealing the spotlight from the lead stars . nsk was known to pen his comedy tracks himself and always ensured that he was never repetitive . noted lyricist udumalai narayana kavi usually wrote the lyrics for krishnan .\nhe also produced the hit film \u2018nallathambi\u2019 , directed by c . n annadurai . he directed films such as \u2018panam\u2019 and \u2018manamagal\u2019 penned by karunanidhi . ss vasan\u2019s magnum opus \u2018chandralekha\u2019 too featured krishnan in comedy tracks . there was a time in tamil cinema when no film was complete without nsk !\nhe also shared screen space in many films of the leading heroes , mgr and sivaji ganesan , and despite the presence of these titans always stood out with his comedy .\nnsk went on to work as unparalleled comedian in as many as 150 films , mgr starred \u2018raja desingu\u2019 being the last one , released after his death .\non 8 november 1944 , lakshmikanthan the gossip columnist & editor of \u2018indu nesan\u2019 was knifed by some unknown persons in purasawalkam and was admitted to the general hospital , madras as an outpatient . but the next day , lakshmikanthan was murdered mysteriously while still in the hospital . the police arrested eight persons as accused for the murder including m . k . tyagaraja bhagavathar and nsk . this came as a rude shock to their fans and the cine world .\nafter thirty long months of jail term they were acquitted for want of proof by the london privy council , thanks to the eminent lawyer v . l . ethiraj who argued for them at privy council at london . ( the same illustrious lawyer founded ethiraj college for women ) .\nthough n . s . krishnan did manage to pick up the threads of his life again as an actor post his release from prison , things were not quite the same & he was financially drained and his fortunes plummeted rapidly .\nwhen krishnan was first sentenced to jail , mathuram took a break from her acting career . later she came out her self - imposed exile to generate revenues for financing her husband\u2019s appeal to the privy council .\nwhen nsk was in prison , t . a . mathuram started a drama troupe called n . s . k nataka sabha , which staged plays written by and starring s . v . sahasranamam . \u2018paithiyakaran\u2019 ( 1947 ) was one of those plays . later mathuram converted the troupe into a film production company and made a film based on the play . while the film , being directed by krishnan - panju duo , was in production , krishnan was acquitted released from prison . a new role was written for him in the film . nsk made fun of his stint in prison through the song jailukku poi vantha in which he described in prison life , his fellow inmates and the types of prisoners he met . mgr played a supporting role in the film ."]}

oriented films . but in the kannada remake , everything looks silly , illogical and boring .\nthe changes made in the film script to suit the nativity of karnataka , has not helped the film , but it has harmed the film by diluting the funny elements .\ndirector raviraj , who comes from tamil nadu , has failed to select suitable artists for the roles as he is totally unaware of the strength of the local artists . to add to this confusion , the film ' s producer g . ramachandran has also been featured in an important role in the movie . it is really a pain in the neck to hear him mouthing kannada dialogues in tamil accent .\nprajwal devaraj is a misfit for the role , though his action portions may be liked by his fans . hari priya looks glamorous , but she has little opportunity to showcase her talent . g . ramachandran who plays the role of father to prajwal looks totally out of place . though there are number of veteran artists , nothing looks impressive in terms of their performance .\nmusic by deva is average , while kashi vishwanath ' s camera work does not attain the standards seen in contemporary films made in kannada . the editing is haphazard .\nplease write your correct name and email address . kindly do not post any personal , abusive , defamatory , infringing , obscene , indecent , discriminatory or unlawful or similar comments . urltoken will not be responsible for any defamatory message posted under this article .\nplease note that sending false messages to insult , defame , intimidate , mislead or deceive people or to intentionally cause public disorder is punishable under law . it is obligatory on daijiworld to provide the ip address and other details of senders of such comments , to the authority concerned upon request .\nhence , sending offensive comments using daijiworld will be purely at your own risk , and in no way will urltoken be held responsible .\ndaijiworld residency , airport road , bondel post , mangalore -

both in concert halls and in private salons ( where he played it by request seemingly endlessly ) . and , as walter rimler sums up gershwin in 1924 ,\nhis worldwide fame had begun - - only to be compounded when , [ at the end of that magical year ] , he had a huge triumph on broadway - - the musical\neven though changes taking place in the american musical theater were making it modern in several profound senses , the influence of the past was still deeply felt on broadway . this was evidenced by the fact that\n, was one of the few shows , and certainly the most successful , that could claim to be on some level a modern musical comedy . gerald mast characterizes the qualities that distinguished\nas modern : it was\nbright and breezy . . . with topical themes ( like bootlegging ) and topical settings ( from a long island mansion to the wild west ) , small casts , amiable jokes , flippant themes , astaire dancing , and songs , songs , songs\n(\nkathleen riley in her biography of the astaires ( fred and adele ) elaborates on the show ' s contemporary qualities and provides fred ' s own sense of the show ' s modernism .\n, for it changed the american musical , carrying with it a new sound , a new verve and sophistication , and a new spirit , boldly and authentically twentieth -

re curious , so read on to find out what the mccallister clan ( and other film favorites ! ) are up to now .\nthis movie was sooooo boring . i love good old - fashioned movie musicals like no one else but this on was blah . you have to sit through at least an hour of watching the clich\u00e9 and boring antics of robert young and ann sothern before eleanor powell actually does some dancing . the only reason to watch this movie is for the few bright spots that red skelton and the berry brothers bring , and of course , ellie two amazing dance numbers . you may be amused by the comedic plot but i found it way too reused and slow and boring . do yourself a favor and skip watching this movie for now unless you are a huge huge eleanor powell fan . hunt up some really enjoyable musicals of this time , like thousands cheer or down argentine way . this movie does not do justice to ellie ' s amazing talent .\nnow : ratray has continued to act , with a small role in & apos ;

members . patriotism is therefore selective in its altruism . gomberg notes the view ( in ethics ) that moral duties apply equally to all humans , which is known as cosmopolitanism .\nthus films , in addition to entertaining the people , do play a greater role of instilling patriotism and nationalism among the people . and as we celebrate malaysia\u2019s 59th independence , we can celebrate patriotism and nationalism by way of film - making which will not only travel throughout the country but beyond our shores as well .\nhis first wolf warrior film came out in 2014 , but it didn ' t make much of an impact . mainstream movies , especially those promoting patriotism , usually don ' t do very well in china .\nanother douban user wrote :\nwe used to laugh at personal heroism , but binding all - powerful superheroes with patriotism is even worse .\nas the second world war raged overseas , canadians mobilized for the war effort at home spurred on by patriotism and a good dose of government propaganda .\nyalghaar is as disappointing as it is expensive . one may argue that we should learn to savour any pakistani film with production value as impressive as this , yalghaar is testament to the fact that our film industry needs more than just patriotism ; it needs a will to explore new artistic territory .\nthis should go to the oscars as best film in history . i cried and laughed at the same time at how bad this film was .\n@ fatima unless we don ' t punish people for\nnon - professionalism\nand let rob the public in the name of patriotism , there is no chance for any improvement . for me the author has done well to write and show people the other , and equally important if not more , aspect of\npatriotism\n. without any substance , asking to pay only in the name of patriotism is no less than\nbegging\nor at least fleecing .\nit has been written that patriotism is about protecting the land we live in while nationalism is about protecting the way we live . during the 18th century age of enlightenment , patriotism was defined as devotion to humanity . for example , providing charity , criticising slavery and denouncing excessive penal laws were all considered patriotic .\nif yes , we should be grateful to fawad khan and other pakistani artistes . they have helped us figure out how to turn patriotism into a profitable enterprise .\nevery one is selling religion and patriotism to the pakistani public and making tons of money . what choices the pakistani people have or what choices the movie makers have ?\nfor many generations , people in the art scene have demonstrated this patriotism in perhaps a creative and artistic way through their stories . in the hindu epic ramayana , lord rama tells lakshmana \u201c janani janma bhoomischa swargadapi gariyasi ( mother and motherland are greater than heaven ) \u201d , which greatly lays the foundation for consciousness of patriotism among hindus .\ncound not agree more with the review . and i could not have put more eloquently than the writer . sadly i enjoyed the review more than the movie . we cannot be expected to support local cinema in the name of patriotism and pseudo nationalism . most of these old - school filmmakers ( syed noor , hassan wqas rana ) are taking patriotism for granted . they are simply irrelevant in this modern age of film - making .\non the whole , the war was a unifying experience for canadians as most of the population worked toward a common goal . patriotism reached lofty heights along with the government propaganda .\nperhaps it is worth knowing how to differentiate between a film that is propagandistic and one that is patriotic because many a time , films that try to sell the idea of patriotism are instead perceived as propaganda . this is usually apparent from the political point of view , and more so when the film is funded by the government of the country .\nmovie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .\ncertainly , the meaning of patriotic films goes beyond the ordinary definition . some may argue that even the most modern film , such as yasmin ahmad\u2019s sepet or the most slapstick one such as razak mohideen\u2019s anak mami , carry in itself the values of patriotism and nationalism .\nthis was beyond gorgeous , frighteningly realistic and surprisingly gory . this was a very effective film on the topic of nationalism and a very fortified message for someone ' s final film before they offed themselves in the same manner . an experimental silent film in a era when silent films had come to pass ,\npatriotism\nis a bleak look at a tradition so visceral , it spawned at epic with a runtime of less than 30 minutes .\nthe chinese government ' s mouthpiece people ' s daily hailed wolf warrior 2 as a\nsuperhero movie of chinese style\nthat showed\nfearless heroism and responsibility\nand evoked passion for patriotism .\nif patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel , extortion in the name of the army must be its defining trait . thackeray ' s money navnirman sena ( mns ) has just proved it .\n@ waleed fakhar actually the film is good but may be you are unable to understand it .\ni will repeat gen musharaf ' s line : pakistani film industry ka khuda hee hafiz hay .\npatriotism , or the rite of love and death , poses an unusual question : what impels a novelist to make a film ? actually , few have ever done so . the number has shot up recently , thanks to a surge in china , but for many years the french had the syndrome \u2026\nthat is the tagline for wolf warriors 2 , the chinese box office hit that is equal parts testosterone - fuelled machismo - think blazing guns , explosions , and tanks - and chest - thumping chinese patriotism .\nultimately , my fear is that none of these offences even matter to the makers of this film .\nthe film revolves around a covert rescue mission when rebels overrun a town in an unnamed african country .\none reason for the enthusiastic response compared to the first wolf warrior film is its improved action scenes .\nvery good analysis . film makers are only relying on the patriotic sentiments of the public , these days .\nwish writer had ever critically analyzed the typical movies made in our industry specialy the punjabi and pushto movies . . . its a far better movie then those . . . i think the writer have more issue with the\npatriotism\nplot .\nthe film has raked in a record 1 . 6bn yuan ( $ 238m ; \u00a3181m ) in just one week . the massive response in china also made the film top the global box office worldwide last weekend , beating hollywood blockbuster dunkirk .\n@ huda rashid still iranian movies are being playing in some overseas film festivals . my indian friend told me about it .\na propaganda film is a film , either a documentary style or a fictional screenplay , that is produced to convince the viewer of a certain political point or to influence the opinions or behaviour of people , often by providing deliberately misleading , propagandistic contents .\none of hitchcock ' s best and most popular films , his ninth american film , it is most notable for its use of a realistic macguffin - something around which the film ' s plot revolves . in this film , the ' red herring ' narrative device is a sample of uranium concealed in sand within wine bottles , a top - secret substance needed to manufacture an atomic weapon . the specific mention of uranium in ben hecht ' s screenplay was timely and prescient - the atom bomb had just been dropped on japan a few months before shooting began on the film . originally , the macguffin for this film was to have been diamonds .\nthe film premiered just ahead of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the chinese army , a hugely symbolic event for the country .\nwhy then does the film begin and end with spielberg ' s flag - waving and a tearful old grandfather mourning at the graves of fallen comrades ? are they merely hedges against the insidious argument of the film that even our last\ngood\nwar was as meaningless in its brutality and empty in its heroism as the conflict in vietnam ? though saving private ryan amply documents the extraordinary courage of men under fire and suggests the tide of grief their families endured , it never addresses the point of their heroism . how can it honor the horrendous sacrifices our parents and grandparents made when the film seems to demonstrate that neither glory , morality , patriotism , nor any clear meaning attended the slaughter of millions ?\nvery well written incisive review - the film industry would benefit by heeding the points made and the issues raised . i do however feel for the film makers as so much of their blood sweat and tears go into the making - not getting it right must be heart breaking .\nwell written review . i might still watch the film to support local cinema but will tone down my expectations . thanks for the heads up !\n@ zain ha ha ha .\ni have taken numerous courses in film making\nself appointed judge which courses have u taken bro ? elaborate\nthe first 11 years of motion pictures had the cinema moving from a novelty to an established large - scale entertainment industry . the techniques , effects , narrative , and film continuity have been further developed . film has become an interesting and effective way of storytelling for it captures at least two of the five senses instantly \u2013 sight and hearing . not only is a film a medium for storytelling but it has also become a medium for propaganda .\nduring this era , malaysia ( then malaya ) also saw the blossoming of the legendary p . ramlee who , in 1955 , acted in and co - directed what was to be malaysia\u2019s first ever patriotic film , sergeant hassan . the film revolved around the life of hassan who joined the malay regiment army and later fought against the japanese occupation in malaya . not until about 26 years later was another film of a similar genre produced when jins shamsuddin directed and acted in bukit kepong . nineteen years later in 2000 , aziz m . osman made another such film based on a real life hero , leftenan adnan .\nplaywright and novelist yukio mishima foreshadowed his own violent suicide with this ravishing short feature , his only foray into filmmaking , yet made with the expressiveness and confidence of a true cinema artist . all prints of patriotism ( y\u00fbkoku ) , which depicts the seppuku of an army officer , were destroyed after mishima ' s death in 1970 , though the negative was saved , and the film resurfaced thirty - five years later . new viewers will be stunned at the depth and clarity of mishima ' s vision , as well as his graphic depictions of sex and death . the film is presented here with a choice of japanese or english intertitles .\nin a stern speech , which in parts was not dissimilar to lines from the film , president xi jinping vowed to fight anyone who tried to split china .\nthis is not to suggest spielberg has made a perfect film . there is a difference between virtuosity and genius , between a tour de force and a masterpiece . saving private ryan is flawed , in part because it loses its nerve . those surviving veterans who actually leapt into the reddened surf of omaha beach have attested to the accuracy of the film ' s depiction of modern war and , particularly , of the normandy invasion ; for that artistic accomplishment , the director deserves all the accolades heaped upon him . on the other hand , the flag - waving patriotism it pretends at in its first and last shots is as transparent as the faded flag spielberg waves across the screen .\napart from all these films that tell stories of the pre - independence years and are directly patriotic and nationalistic in nature , there are also others that are more subtle in their patriotism and nationalism values . these include jamil sulong\u2019s ranjau sepanjang jalan ( 1983 ) , bade hj azmi\u2019s bilut ( 2005 ) and chiu keng guan\u2019s ola bola ( 2016 ) .\njohn fithian , president of the association , said that seven years ago mr . workman made a short history of american film that was shown before the main feature in several thousand theaters . ' ' he ' s an absolute expert in taking film clips and turning them into short works of art , ' ' mr . fithian said .\none of the rare occurrences of when an artist predicts his own fate by mimicking his own artwork as a means to design death . yukio mishima who is internationally known for his literary career making him one of the most prominent authors originating from japan ventured into filmmaking just this once . and of course the content of patriotism says it all . making this film must have been almost therapeutic for mishima , a way to almost rehearse for the real thing of which he would commit in almost the same exact fashion four years later after the production of this film . now to shy away from mishima ' s own personal mindset and japan ' s cultural obsession with suicide , i was merely pointing out\u2026\nthe film suffers tremendously from the lack of a coherent storyline . writer and producer hassan waqas rana\u2019s razor - sharp focus on the underlying theme and message of the film means that there is no concern on constructing a comprehensible plot for his movie . a film that is clear in its objective to pay homage to the valour and sacrifice of a pakistani soldier , pays no regard to matters like sensible camera angles , coherent audio , action choreograph , semi - decent character arcs , or even a basic plot .\nsteven spielberg ' s d - day epic is a brutal , unpatriotic portrait of war\u2014except for the notoriously sappy prologue and epilogue . what was the film really trying to say ?\nplaywright and novelist yukio mishima foreshadowed his own violent suicide with this ravishing short feature , his only foray into filmmaking , yet made with the expressiveness and confidence of a true cinema artist . all prints of patriotism ( y\u017ekoku ) , which depicts the seppuku of a army officer , were destroyed after mishima ' s death in 1970 , though the negative was saved , and the film resurfaced thirty - five years later . new viewers will be stunned at the depth and clarity of mishima ' s vision , as well as his graphic depictions of sex and death .\nthis is a silent film with a musical track - there is no dialogue spoken . mishima filmed two versions , one with japanese title cards , the other with english title cards .\nthat ' s what happens if you use the bollywood formula for making movies . pakistan film industry needs to change it ' s focus on iran and turkish film making which are much more mature industries . pakistan drama ' s proof that films involving love , family and human nature strikes a chord with cinema goers instead of the boom boom you get at the moment .\nfadnavis has not only been forced to keep thackeray in good humour but also been arm twisted into letting thackeray set conditions for the film ' s release . according to reports , thackeray has insisted that producers of films that have pakistani actors in the star cast will donate\nrs 5 crore\nto the army ' s fund as penalty for working with the enemy and run an ode to our security forces at the start of the film . the mns chief , after imposing a penitence penalty on johar , also hoped that indians would boycott the film .\nmishima let ' s his film develop an atmosphere through its slow - building progression . letting the audience absorb its images long enough for the feeling to be placed . there are some beautiful\u2026\nberg ' s patriotic impulse stretches back in time even farther , with his compassionate portrayal of middle america , friday night lights : the true story of a west texas town obsessed with high school football . while that film did deal somewhat with american racial tensions , its greater focus was on the undying virtue of blue collar america\u2014that side of america too often ignored by modern filmmakers . berg followed that film with the fictional the kingdom , a film about american involvement in saudi arabia , which , outside of a stellar opening title sequence explaining the history of american meddling in the middle east , took an easy view of the pursuit of terrorists by american forces . a few years later , there was battleship . the less said about that film , the better .\nthe early years of the 40s decade were not promising for the american film industry , especially following the late 1941 attack on pearl harbor by the japanese , and the resultant loss of foreign markets . however , hollywood film production rebounded and reached its profitable peak of efficiency during the years 1943 to 1946 - a full decade and more after the rise of sound film production , now that the technical challenges of the early 30s sound era were far behind . advances in film technology ( sound recording , lighting , special effects , cinematography and use of color ) meant that films were more watchable and ' modern ' . following the end of the war , hollywood ' s most profitable year in the decade was 1946 , with all - time highs recorded for theatre attendance .\nthis is expected a long back :\nyalghaar is testament to the fact that our film industry needs more than just patriotism ; it needs a will to explore new artistic territory .\nwho will teach or tell ispr ? the look at everything from own point of view , and vision . my disappointment touched the peek , when baffled which track to follow . everything was vague , probably the director might know the story well . he failed to transfer his vision by a good narrative . film making is an art and same rule applies : learn to walk , then run . can someone question ispr ? why all that drama , guns , and tons of money , but no results . there are other many examples of good story telling . it seem in pak only good lobbying , shashka and connection work .\nmany in china have praised the film for its combat scenes and stunts - such as tanks skidding around like the cars in the fast and furious franchise - saying they are of\nhollywood quality\n.\n@ silent observer dangal from bollywood became the highest grossing non hollywood film in china . i understand your stereotype , but it is not true . even the pak theaters cannot run on iranian and turkish movies .\neverything about the project was donated , mr . rhodes said , from seed money to production services . kodak provided the film stock , technicolor paid for the processing , and owners of 9 , 000 of north america ' s 35 , 000 movie screens agreed to provide the time and labor to get the film shown before christmas . mr . workman said the project would have cost more than $ 1 million otherwise .\nthis \u2018objective\u2019 is not an assumption on my part . yalghaar opens with a verbal salute to the bravery of our ever - watchful guardians . the film does not even wait for its first scene ; it jumps to inform you in bold text at the very beginning that it is the vigilance of the dauntless pakistani army that affords you the privilege to watch this film in peace . if you\u2019re patriotic , you better applaud .\nand like everyone else , i had to agree that it was brilliant filmmaking\u2014except for the beginning and the end . spielberg actually opens and closes the film twice , employing two pairs of images to bracket the war movie everyone praised . the first and last thing we see pulsing across the entire screen is a faded , translucent american flag . can we understand the flag as anything but an announcement of the subject of his epic : patriotism ? the fluttering flag , denatured of its color and perhaps of its vitality , is the image with which the film begins and ends . but spielberg wraps not only the war in the flag but also the cloyingly sentimental frame story of an elderly veteran , followed by his wife , son , and grandchildren , on his pilgrimage to the vast cemetery overlooking the normandy beachhead , now marked by row after row of simple christian and jewish headstones .\nyukio mishima was one of the most prolific and celebrated writers that ever lived , and this is his only film credited as writer , director , and actor . original screenings of this film were accompanied with music from tristan und isolde , by richard wagner . this upload contains an original re - score by the songwriter , aaron embry . more about the intriguing history of this fine piece of silent - cinema , here : urltoken\nbut does it really rank as one of the all - time great war movies ? and what did you think of harry styles\u2019 acting ? here\u2019s a chance to give your verdict on the film\u2019s key talking points .\nanother subtle symbol in the film is a key , and a third major motif is the drinking of lethal substances ( either alcohol or poison ) - to either seek refuge from reality or to bring harm . the most celebrated segments in the film are a marathon , prolonged erotic kissing scene ( that circumvented the ' three - second ' censor ' s restrictions ) , a swooping camera crane shot down to an extreme closeup of the wine - cellar key held in bergman ' s hand ( posters for the film always included a key motif ) , the wine - cellar sequence , and the suspenseful final scene with masterful inter - cutting .\ni knew steven spielberg ' s saving private ryan was supposed to be a masterpiece . the best - known film critics in the country said so . janet maslin , for example , hailed it as\nthe finest war movie of our time .\nthe film and its director both won golden globes , spielberg received an academy award for directing , and more than 60 critics named saving private ryan the best picture of the year .\na similar , though much more complex , contradiction beats at the very heart of saving private ryan and accounts for the dissonance noted by virtually every critic between the body of the film and its opening and closing . how can the sentimental tableau of a weeping old man , his wife , his son , his daughter - in - law , and his grandchildren possibly serve as a fit conclusion to so savage and unsentimental a film ?\nthe germans depicted are just as bewildered , terrified , and anxious to return to their families as the americans . of course , there is no shortage of cruelty and brutality . nazis move through battle - scarred streets indifferently finishing off wounded americans , but , early in the film , we have witnessed callous gis mowing down surrendering germans with a laugh . and the transformation of a cowardly american interpreter who coldly butchers a captured german he earlier has argued to spare is one of the most troubling moments in the film . spielberg never suggests that we are any better than our enemy or , to put it more generously , that they are any worse than we are . on the contrary , he seems to be at pains to show the equality of men under any flag when the shooting begins . so this is not a patriotic film ; if anything , it argues that patriotism is beside the point in modern warfare . even the mission itself has no heroic or patriotic aim ; there is no hill to be taken , no redoubt to be stormed . its goal , according to captain miller , is public relations .\nsahadevan chuckles and narrates the indo - pak war of 1971 , the emotions of army men and their families . any film is a reflection of the director ' s self . 1971 beyond borders is directed by major ravi . so , it shouldn ' t come as a surprise that the core is all about being patriotic . the premise of the film is war , but very little attention is given to it , even on paper .\nfor instance , there ' s a scene where the entire troop of soldiers bounce off the walls when letters from their respective families arrive . the director moves the camera slowly to each soldier with a voice - over of their relatives . this scene works in particular . for a war film , emotions of the soldiers should have formed the cornerstone . but they did not . instead , we get to see a strict officer giving a rabble - rousing speech , which , works in parts . the film veers between a war film and a documentary drama . by the way , allu sirish plays a brief role as lieutenant chinmay . again , a misfit .\nwe shall not waste our efforts in categorising which of the malaysian films is national and non - national but we shall embrace the nationalistic value in the film itself for this is what being patriotic and being nationalistic is about .\nlove and death collide in a kaleidoscopic black and white image from yukio mishima . this is a perfect pairing with a life in four chapters , as it provides some real - world insight into the style and thought process that dominated the film ' s subject character . this is mishima ' s only film , surprisingly , and it ' s set like a stage play , like much of a life in four chapters . i see in this film a hauntingly dark and beautiful portrait of the greatest form of love . a love that cannot be separated by death . through death , we remain whole . this is a gorgeous silent film that can only be described as a genuinely moving experience , and one that can be easily done if you have 28 minutes to spare . i promise you won ' t regret it . it ' s simply one of the best short films i have ever seen .\nmight dunkirk yet find itself encountering the eternal bugbear of the oscars voter , historical accuracy ? nolan worked with joshua levine , author of the book forgotten voices of dunkirk , to ensure his film bore the closest possible relation to the reality of operation dynamo , but some french writers have attacked the decision to show the french army only briefly . the le monde film critic jacques mandelbaum described dunkirk\u2019s plot as \u201cpurely british\u201d , and its attitude to the french as \u201cwitheringly impolite\u201d and \u201cindifferent\u201d .\nthe trouble with all of these films comes in their foregrounding of the personal over the political . they are the ultimate\nsupport our troops\nmovies , which insist on the divorcing their subjects from any meaningful context other than the need to respect their efforts and sacrifices on behalf of all americans . these are films that seek to whitewash america , boosting the virtue of pure patriotism , fashioning an uncomplicated reality for an audience tired of feeling like their country is being lost to liberal pussyfooting and terrorist threats .\nit ' s really incredible to see writers bring their own work to the silver screen . patriotism , mishima ' s only film he ever made , shows so much beauty through such a gruesome act of suicide . but really , every image that is shown is there for a reason and they all look stunning . mishima ' s even throws in some pretty interesting special effects , not only for the hara - kiri , but also to show the woman ' s longing for her husband . it ' s such a short and rather simple story but it is told with such detail and precision that you can ' t turn away from it . not that you would really miss something , it ' s just that you don ' t want to miss anything ! !\nthis ain ' t berg ' s first rodeo in the real american heroes genre . three years ago he gifted us the hit afghanistan war action film lone survivor , about a navy seal team on the hunt for a taliban leader only to face a fight for their lives against taliban forces . and if that wasn ' t enough , berg has another film coming out this very calendar year about the boston pd manhunt for the boston marathon bombers . and just in case you weren ' t sure of berg ' s aim with the film , it ' s literally called patriot ' s day . ( note : all three star\u2014and were produced by\u2014mark wahlberg , who once fittingly suggested he could have stopped 9 / 11 if given the chance . )\nit\u2019s customary to provide a synopsis of a film one intends to dissect . i am saddened to report that there is no semblance of a story here , which puts me in a conundrum of deciding whether a spoiler alert even needs to be issued .\nare you trying to mislead people from watching the movie ? this has to be one of the top movies made in pakistan . i have taken numerous courses regarding film studies and this is by far one of the best films to debut this year .\nrodnyansky says that although none of zvyagintsev\u2019s previous films had been supported by government funds , he had applied for state funding for \u201cleviathan , \u201d which won best screenplay in cannes , as it had a relatively high budget for an arthouse film , more than $ 6 million .\nyukio mishima ' s short noh drama presents seppuku as an aesthetic self - extinction for ideal beauty , absolute resolute commitment and loyalty to japan ' s imperial tradition . given that this is the author ' s only directorial effort the film is impressively cinematic in technique and deliberate pacing .\nthe national film board ( nfb ) was a particularly important government propaganda tool , used to educate citizens and encourage canadians to support the war effort . the nfb turned out hundreds of documentaries and short films with titles like the war at sea , canada carries on and wartime controls .\nafter her initial reluctance , devlin must contradict her claims to persuade and convince the\nhard - boiled\nlady to atone for her father ' s sins and accept his offer . he plays a recording of an argument that she had with her father in miami beach , florida on january 9 , 1946 . it is\nsome of the evidence that wasn ' t used at the trial\nin which she opposed her father and refused to work for him . she repudiated her father and claimed that he betrayed the united states , and she expressed her love , patriotism and loyalty to the us :\nanalysis of budding industry without taking it ' s emerging status in account is very unfair . we should appreciate the movie for one of the best pakistan film industry . compare the movies of today to what they were 5 years back . it ' s easy to criticise than to correct things .\nwhoever was responsible for lighting in this film ought to pay the highest penance . the movie has three major conflict scenes , all of which take place at night - time . it is tremendously difficult to immerse oneself in the situation and appreciate the tension when the entire scene feels like it\u2019s being shot by the irritating camera - man from your cousin\u2019s valima . the location is flooded with intense artificial light creating long shadows that even the brightest moonlight wouldn\u2019t manage . the whole film builds up to an emotional scene at the battlefield with a close - up of bilal ashraf\u2019s face looking horrifyingly over - lit .\neconomically speaking , malayalam films have been doing great business of late . the industry owes much credit to mohanlal , whose oppam , pulimurugan and ? munthirivallikal thalirkkumbol were highly successful at the box office . is that the reason why mohanlal has tried and tested the same formula in this period war film too ?\nfrom a patriotic marathi manus fighting against immigrants , taxi drivers , and daily - wage earners , thackeray has made the ultimate transition a modern indian deshbhakt dreams of : he has put the gun to the film industry ' s head for the indian army ; become a real sainik for the real sena .\nthe world was headed toward rearmament and warfare in the early to mid - 1940s , and the movie industry , like every other aspect of life , responded to the national war effort by making movies , producing many war - time favorites , and having stars ( and film industry employees ) enlist or report for duty . the us government ' s office of war information ( owi ) , formed in 1942 , served as an important propaganda agency during world war ii , and coordinated its efforts with the film industry to record and photograph the nation ' s war - time activities . tinseltown aided in the defensive mobilization , whether as combatants , propagandists , documentary , newsreel or short film - makers , educators , fund - raisers for relief funds or war bonds , entertainers , or morale - boosters . films took on a more realistic rather than escapist tone , as they had done during the depression years of the 30s .\nalicia : what ' s this all about , huh ? what ' s your angle ? devlin : what angle ? alicia : about last night . devlin : just wanted to be friends . alicia : friends , yeah . you could frame me , hmm ? devlin : no , i ' ve got a job for ya . alicia : ( unsteadily ) oh well , don ' t tell me . there ' s only , oh , there ' s only one job that you coppers would want me for . well you can forget it mr . . . . devlin : devlin . alicia : what ? devlin : devlin . alicia : i ' m no stool - pigeon , mr . devlin . devlin : my department authorized me to engage you to do some work for us . there ' s a job in brazil . alicia : oh , go away . the whole thing bores me . devlin : some of the german gentry who are paying your father are working in rio . ever hear of the i . g . farben industries ? alicia : i tell you , i ' m not interested . devlin : farben has men in south america , planted there before the war . they ' re cooperating with the brazilian government to smoke them out . my chief thinks that the daughter of a , uh . . . alicia : a traitor ? devlin : well , he thinks you might be valuable in the work . they might sell their trust to you . and you could make up a little for your daddy ' s peculiarities . alicia : why should i ? devlin : patriotism . alicia : that word gives me a pain . no thank you . i don ' t go for patriotism , nor , or patriots . devlin : i could dispute that with you . alicia : waving the flag with one hand and picking pockets with the other . that ' s your patriotism . well , you can have it .\nin fact , this objective is no more of an assumption on a moviegoer\u2019s part , than a hunch that this film has been sponsored by bank al - falah . such a thing wouldn\u2019t normally merit a mention in a film review , but this gaudy and awkwardly extensive product placement is so distracting , it is guaranteed to impact your movie experience . the al - falah credit card - flashed multiple times in scenes written exclusively to justify its presence - has more personality than most characters in the movie . it\u2019s jarring how the ever - dependable credit card has not been allowed to give tv interviews next to ayesha omar .\nover time , the way the stories are told evolved \u2013 from drawings and paintings to oral storytelling ( also known as penglipur lara in malaysia ) and from writing to plays ( bangsawan , makyong , and wayang kulit ) right to when a medium known as motion pictures or film came into existence in 1895 .\nthat evening , a wild party is held in a middle - class residence in miami . in a lengthy take , the beautiful young , spoiled , playgirl daughter , alicia huberman ( ingrid bergman ) banters with the guests and drinks heavily . her first major line of dialogue in the film portrays her emotional pain :\nit has been hailed by guardian critics as christopher nolan\u2019s best film so far and the movie that sees the director of inception and the dark knight finally live up to the comparisons with stanley kubrick . indeed , dunkirk currently boasts a rating of 94 % \u201cfresh\u201d on the review aggregator rotten tomatoes , suggesting genuine oscar potential .\nafter the war , william wyler directed a provocative , dramatic best picture - winning film about the plight of three returning g . i . veterans ( dana andrews , fredric march , and harold russell ) to the homefront . the multi - oscar winning picture the best years of our lives ( 1946 ) was produced by samuel goldwyn and photographed by gregg toland . non - professional , disabled veteran harold russell won a best supporting actor oscar for his role in the film . in two of the film ' s memorable scenes , hoagy carmichael taught double - amputee russell to play chopsticks on the piano , and russell displayed his vulnerabilities to his fiancee ( cathy o ' donnell ) . lightening up the wartime mood was cary grant who portrayed captain henri rochard , a french soldier in howard hawks ' gender - bending farcical comedy i was a male war bride ( 1949 ) , who was obliged to dress as a woman to marry an american female soldier ( ann sheridan ) .\nit ' s no wonder then that several of them have been hits . lone survivor and american sniper in particular resonated with audiences across the country . they finally gave americans stories about contemporary wars , which were action - packed , emotional , and , crucially , adhered to their vision of the united states as an undeniable force for good in the world\u2014and its soldiers representing the best the country has to offer . berg and eastwood ' s films stripped away all the moral and political introspection of more lauded films like the hurt locker and zero dark thirty , and audiences ate them up , satisfied by their simplistic , fast - food idealization of duty , heroism , and the meaning of patriotism .\nthough his fascination for the story quite clearly stemmed from mishima ' s own nationalist spirit ( he was famous for his traditionalist views and opposing stance against the westernisation of japan ) , the director has managed admirably well in getting across the emotional weight of the story . with its cast of two and minimalist set , the film allows nothing to interfere with the passion between husband and wife as they say their goodbyes to every inch of each other ' s bodies . as a result yukoku becomes a powerful tribute to not only the human spirit of determination but also to the human physique ( mishima himself was , as this film proves , an avid body builder ) .\nnotorious ( 1946 ) is a classic hitchcockian post - war psychological suspense / thriller . the basis of the film came from the 1921 saturday evening post two - part short story\nthe song of the dragon\nby john taintor foote . the master of suspense created a compelling spy mission interwoven with a romantic love story . the dark , intricate film is thematically concerned with both political ( and sexual ) betrayal and issues of trust , friendship , and duty embodied in the characters ' relationships . it was remade in 1992 as a tv - movie , with john shea as devlin , jenny robertson as alicia , jean - pierre cassel as sebastian , and marisa berenson as katarina .\ndespite some spectacular fight scenes , writer - director - star wu jing ' s explosive military adventure\nwolf warrior 2\nwill likely interest american audiences more for cultural reasons than as entertainment . if nothing else , it ' s fascinating to see a film so closely mimic big - budget hollywood war pictures , but from an opposing sociopolitical perspective .\nthe beginning of the new millennium saw serious efforts of the government through the national film board ( finas ) to produce patriotic films with the production of erma fatima\u2019s embun and adman salleh\u2019s award - winning paloh in 2002 and 2003 respectively . the renowned filmmaker shuhaimi baba helmed two such films , 1957 : hati malaya and tanda putera in 2007 and 2013 respectively .\nthe theatrical release of \u201cleviathan\u201d in russia suffered from massive piracy as its release had been delayed until after the award campaign in the u . s . there were almost 10 million downloads of the film in a few weeks . \u201cthis was both a fortunate and an unfortunate event , \u201d rodnyansky says . \u201cfortunate because it made the film a public event , so even the name of the movie has become a kind of a meme , a synonym for certain political and social troubles . it polarized the audience in a brutal way , made everyone discuss the movie , and divided not just the viewing audience but [ russian ] society itself . there were people who defended the movie and people who considered it to be russophobic . \u201d\nalexander rodnyansky , the producer of russian drama \u201cloveless , \u201d which is a frontrunner in cannes competition , financed andrey zvyagintsev\u2019s film without any funds from the russian government . he tells variety why he made the decision to use only private finance , prompted by the hostility shown by vladimir putin\u2019s regime toward zvyagintsev\u2019s oscar - nominated \u201cleviathan , \u201d also produced by [ \u2026 ]\na film , as with a book or other possible medium of art , has the ability to produce and spread fertile messages that , once sown , will germinate in large human cultures . in the 20th century , a \u201cnew\u201d propaganda emerged which revolved around political organisations and their need to communicate messages that would \u201csway relevant groups of people in order to accommodate their agendas\u201d .\nthe film\u2019s attempt at humanising its military characters , is by introducing romantic subplots \u2013 each more clich\u00e9d than the other . two of the four female love interests in the movie are cartoonishly simple characters . uzma khan\u2019s solid straight - faced acting delivers the only joke that genuinely made me chuckle before the writer decided to have her dignity murdered in a bewildering harassment / proposal scene .\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)\nnolan\u2019s film may eschew the theatrical gore of oliver stone\u2019s and francis ford coppola\u2019s war movies , but there is no doubt that dunkirk is a gruelling and disorienting experience . regular time jumps and narrative overlaps do little to help us retrieve our bearings , while the dissonant minimalism of hans zimmer\u2019s score , combined with the constant bombshells and gunfire , adds to the sense of harrowed discombobulation .\nhis first move was to draw up a list of movies that had something to say about being an american . he studied his long list and categorized the movies by theme . his first thought was to intersperse the film with snippets from patriotic and historic documents . then he decided it was more appropriate to use simpler , one - word themes like heroism , courage and diversity .\nby any chance , did thackeray , being such a fan of bollywood , get inspired by yash chopra ' s lamhe ? in that film , when anil kapoor is asked to pay a lakh for slapping sridevi ' s cousin over a property dispute , he hits them again five times and throws a few more bundles of money at them . everything has a price , no ?\nchuck workman buzzed from room to room in his second floor office suite in the flats south of beverly hills , putting the finishing touches on his latest film , ' ' the spirit of america , ' ' a short montage of moments from classic hollywood films that will be on one - fourth of the nation ' s movie screens by christmas day , some as early as friday .\n\u201cafter the uproar that \u2018leviathan\u2019 caused [ in russia ] i made the decision not to apply [ for government funding ] , \u201d rodnyansky says . \u201cthe ministry of culture took great pains to emphasize their dislike of \u2018leviathan , \u2019 and the minister [ vladimir medinsky ] said he thought the film was criticizing russia in a very brutal way and that he was not ready to accept that . \u201d\nthe film is shoddily edited and replete with annoying jump cuts . every time a battle scene comes dangerously close to keeping you engaged , you\u2019ll find yourself jolted into a deluge of an emotional dream sequence in an operating theater . you\u2019ll find yourself yanked out of an interesting conversation among commanding officers of the armed forces because that al - falah credit card hasn\u2019t made an appearance in almost 13 minutes .\nforeign prints of yukoku have survived and it was a version with french intertitles i caught at a festival screening in paris in early 2001 ( on february 26 in fact , the date of the original coup d ' \u00e9tat ) . the making of the film was restaged as part of paul schrader ' s fascinating 1984 biopic mishima : a life in four chapters , with ken ogata playing the author .\nthe stark tale , which centers on the disappearance of a boy whose parents are in the middle of an acrimonious divorce , can be seen as a portrait of a society in meltdown . the only glimmer of hope is provided by a band of volunteers who search tirelessly for the missing kid . it has been acclaimed by film critics in cannes and looks to be on course for a festival award .\nfilm industry needs to move away from the army sponsored storylines . its ok having it as a secondary theme but not the overarching theme of a movie anymore . maalik is one of the finest movies pakistan has produced in last couple of decades and its a underated gem . i was thoroughly captivated throughout the movie and this is coming from someone who has seen the best of western and bollywood movies .\nso this is what i didn ' t get . the opening and the closing of any work should be the two moments of greatest emphasis ( as spielberg ' s english - teacher hero , captain john miller , would no doubt have taught his high - school students back home in addley , pennsylvania ) . how could such a formidable filmmaker have botched the beginning and the end of his film ?"]}

product of a streamlined , simplified way of looking at things that can be absolutely bewildering to the rational mind ( p . 291 ) . \u201d\nan example of why absurd conclusions are bad things : bertrand russell , in a lecture on logic , mentioned that in the sense of material implication , a false proposition implies any proposition . a student raised his hand and said\nin that case , given that 1 = 0 , prove that you are the pope\n. russell immediately replied ,\nadd 1 to both sides of the equation : then we have 2 = 1 . the set containing just me and the pope has 2 members . but 2 = 1 , so it has only 1 member ; therefore , i am the pope .\ni had posted here before about being that person who couldn\u2019t take a hint . i was trying to do anything / everything to convince him to date me . i see how foolish it was . i did date someone else for 3 months but flushed after shady behaviour started coming about . ( the old me wouldn\u2019t have been able to walk away ) . all i can say to other readers is that you must make yourself a priority , go through the emotions , move forward , it does get better and life goes on .\nwhich leads me neatly back to frozen , because frozen \u2019s setting is not explicity patriarchal . i don\u2019t know that having a queen instead of a king is necessarily normal in the world of frozen , but elsa\u2019s coronation certainly isn\u2019t treated as any kind of aberration . women have enough respect and agency in this world that no one particularly comments on arendelle\u2019s being ruled by a woman . no one speculates about whom she\u2019s going to marry or how many sons she\u2019s going to bear ; for once , in fact , it\u2019s the man ( hans ) who has to marry into royalty to have any real power .\njournalists are notoriously bad at reporting risks . for example , in 1995 it was loudly reported that a class of contraceptive pills would double the chance of dangerous blood clots . the news stories mostly did not mention that\ndoubling\nthe risk only increased it by one person in 7 , 000 . the\ncell phones cause brain cancer\nreports are even sillier , with the supposed increase in risk being at most one or two cancers per 100 , 000 people per year . so , if the fearmongers are right , your cellphone has increased your risk from\nwho cares\nto\nwho cares\n.\nplenty of disney films , even the princess ones , tell us that family and friendship are just as important as \u2014 if not more than \u2014 romantic love . frozen is the only one i can think of with so little respect for its audience that it has to beat us over the head with it .\nwhat am i thinking of ? for one , all the human disciplines are constructs of human minds : biology , chemistry , geology , physics , mathematics , history , anthropology , linguistics , etc . anything we can say about the human mind must be consistent with its being able to create such monumental constructs .\nthe truth is that i never could find a safe , comfortable place to sit in that relationship . he never really offered me one . or he would offer me this little toadstool , say that that was all he could give , and then start taking little chunks out of it . what an emotional cripple .\nso sorry you went through this , hitthereset ! i can relate , my husband also started opening up our marriage at one point \u2013 only it was very confusing because he only hinted at us dating other people , and tried to make it sound like a joke when i didn\u00b4t respond with the enthousiasm he wanted .\nwishful thinking is closely related .\nmy home in florida is one foot above sea level . therefore i am certain that global warming will not make the oceans rise by fifteen feet .\nof course , wishful thinking can also be about positive consequences , such as winning the lottery , or eliminating poverty and crime .\ni remember back in college , taking a summer acting class , when i actually made the people around me uncomfortable with my defensiveness . this one time , the teacher was giving me feedback after a scene in front of the whole class . she couldn\u2019t get through a single sentence without me offering some type of argument .\ni bring this up because i see the same thing going on in disney\u2019s frozen . we all know that women are underrepresented in film . disney / marvel alone has made a killing at the box office with eight \u2014 soon to be nine and counting \u2014 massively fun , massively successful superhero films , and not one has been led by a woman . a male - driven superhero film can be mediocre and recover with the next installment in the franchise , but the debate over which superheroine should kick off the women - driven slate of films has been going on for years , because the zeitgeist of the industry means that she will only get one shot .\ni agree . lots of men want all short - term highs and then want to move on . i know it might sound absolutely strange but one of the men i really respect ( ed ) is someone i had a casual fling with \u2013 he openly communicated that thats what he wanted , didnt think it was right that i get involved because i am a \u2018girlfriend - girl\u2019 and respected the rules that i wanted when i did decide to get involved . plus , when it was time to call quits , he came home , told me that he didnt want to see me anymore because he doesnt feel right anymore . it was an experience that helped me learn that casual sex was not for me \u2013 but i did appreciate the fact that he was honest and did see that he had a duty of care towards me ( he was a massive man whore though , so i not sure why he was this respectful . . )\nwilliams ' fantasia is a classic loser , a tortured soul bound by the past , pathetically unable to escape the present . it ' s a riveting performance , one of many in this emotionally complex thriller . and if the finale , inevitably , is a bloody shoot - out , the underlying message , for once , is decidedly upbeat .\nkathryn schulz joined the new yorker as a staff writer in 2015 . in 2016 , she won the pulitzer prize for feature writing and a national magazine award for \u201c the really big one , \u201d her story on the seismic risk in the pacific northwest . she is the author of \u201c being wrong : adventures in the margin of error . \u201d\nlittle star \u2013 i live near and work in central london , i know and have seen many happy couples , but i don\u2019t think that can\u2019t ever be me . it can be you , me or any of us here . one thing i don\u2019t buy is that there aren\u2019t any good men out there . there are plenty we just haven\u2019t met them yet .\nbut what , exactly , is that cause in \u201cmaking a murderer\u201d ? as of january 12th , more than four hundred thousand people had signed a petition to president obama demanding that \u201csteven avery should be exonerated at once by pardon . \u201d that outrage could scarcely have been more misdirected . for one thing , it was addressed to the wrong person : avery was convicted of state crimes , not federal ones , and the president does not have the power to pardon him . for another , it was the wrong demand . \u201cmaking a murderer\u201d may have presented a compelling case that avery ( and , more convincingly , dassey ) deserved a new trial , but it did not get anywhere close to establishing that either one should be exonerated ."]}

rich , rag - tag community by driving an oil truck through a band of post - apocalyptic bandits patrolling the australian wastelands .\nthis film is a remake of steven spielberg ' s\nduel\n( 1971 ) starring dennis weaver .\nwhen a lone trucker gets the itch to kill . he finds himself at a truck stop diner and sees his next victim . starring steve giddings , kathy jean and others in this short film by studio g production and written by tyler bauer .\nfilmed over 8 years , mother trucker 2 follows stacee mccaig ' s struggle as she pursues her dream to live as a professional truck driver .\n, the film pulls in to the kerb , the action pauses for breath , and the heroine discusses her dreams with a passing trucker . the trucker tells her his dream is to visit the ocean . she tells him that hers is a home and a bundle of children . the sun sinks in the west , bruce springsteen plays on the stereo and this pivotal scene is almost too perfect . make a film about gritty american life and , sooner or later , the dream will crawl in through the cracks .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\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 .\nonly a trucker would say : \u201cyou leave here without punching out . . . and you ain ' t never gonna have to punch out again , bubba . \u201d\norange coast magazine writer marc weinberg and leonard maltin criticized the decision to shoot the film in live action . maltin described the film as a\nhopeless mess\n. the appearance of howard was criticized as being unconvincing . in the psychotronic video guide , michael weldon described the reactions to howard as being inconsistent , and that\nit was obviously made in la and suffers from long , boring chase scenes\n, but praises the stop motion special effects in the film ' s final sequences . film website rotten tomatoes , which compiles reviews from a wide range of critics , gives the film a score of 16 % . the film received four golden raspberry awards : worst screenplay , worst new star , worst visual effects and worst picture , tied with under the cherry moon .\n5 . mad max 2 : the road warrior ( 1981 ) : where would a trucker movie list be without an inclusion of some mad max ? the second film of the franchise , it was full of massive big rig chase sequences and existed in a universe where gasoline was prized more than gold .\ntrucker isn\u2019t the most exciting or striking film in the world , but it\u2019s actually a lot better than you\u2019d think at first glance ( and not just because of the horrible cinematography ) . it is at times a little heavy handed in the way it inverts gender roles and stereotypes , but the inversion nonetheless leads to some interesting and intelligent insights into the thought process of a very well - rounded character . notably this isn\u2019t a film like north country and whilst diane does receive some mild negativity about her position as a woman in a male - dominated profession , this isn\u2019t a film about her battle against sexual oppression . in the most part her position is just accepted and the film is instead about the\u2026\nfacets : getting an independent film produced and released is a major challenge that most movie - goers understand . but , what about getting the film exhibited ? what are the obstacles and challenges of getting your movie to the people who would be interested in seeing it ?\nchronicle\nis a mildly experimental commercial film , and , for the most part , it ' s loose - limbed fun .\na good film . i love the story and the actors were well chosen . dehaan looks like a young leo dicaprio . i somewhat question the decision to make this a found footage film as it limited what certain shots could look like a bit too much , and it made for a lot of moments where cameras were carried in unnatural ways to feed the gimmick , but the film was thoroughly entertaining . the degradation of the villain in the end made for a less interesting fight scene , but the film was mostly very satisfying .\nplum pictures is starting production on \u201c trucker , \u201d an independently -

worthy performance as\ndiane ford\n, and the rest of the solid cast help keep this movie on it ' s high octane cylinders of brilliant storytelling . trucker is a must see drama !\n[ 11 : 07 ] a trucker on the cb radio warns that there is a\nkojak with a kodak\nin jamestown . this is cb slag for\ncop with radar\n.\nmonaghan demonstrates an untapped level of talent and skill in trucker , tackling the difficult role of a woman who refuses to behave as societal norms dictate and has paid the price with loneliness and alienation .\n4 . maximum overdrive ( 1986 ) : why have a film where the truck drivers are homicidal when it could just be the trucks themselves . yep , the premise of this film focused on a group of semi - trailers that came to life and became homicidal when earth passed through the tail of a mysterious comet . based off a stephen king story and directed by the man himself , this film was intended to scare . nowadays it\u2019s probably hilariously absurd .\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\nvip tickets to premiere screening of film + all of the above . your name in very special thank you ' s in the fllm credits and website .\nin walter salles\u2019s \u201dcentral station , \u201d a hit at sundance and the winner of top honors at this year\u2019s berlin film festival , a cynical , joyless woman crosses paths with a lonely young boy . there\u2019s plenty of room for sentimentality here , but the wonder of mr . salles\u2019s film is all in the telling .\nthe vail film festival has one of the friendliest staffs on the circuit , excellent programming , and hands down has the best townies attending the festival . the email communication is top -

form : making viewers care about imaginary people and their predicaments is not easy . yet there was an ease to falling in next to these characters and seeing how they live , especially the lead , played by michelle monaghan ( heartbreak kid , eagle eye ) . having never been a huge fan of monaghan\u2019s , the fact that she won me over was tremendous . with a hard edge yet child - like approach to the life ( and child ) given to her , you watch monaghan\u2019s character , a female truck driver , adapt to\u2026\nthe 2018 festival will screen feature films , shorts , documentaries , and student films . the festival fosters filmmakers through panel discussions , a daily hospitality lounge , nightly parties , and networking opportunities with leading film industry professionals .\ndescription : kurt russell and his on -

made woman who refuses to succumb to the circumstances working against her . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _\nthe film eventually views these strangers\u2019 faces in the rapt , joyous spirit that is the story\u2019s greatest reward and that becomes dora\u2019s saving grace . and it is the filmmaker\u2019s elegant restraint that makes such sentiments so deeply felt . mr . salles directs simply and watchfully , with an eye that seems to penetrate all the characters who are encountered on dora\u2019s and josue\u2019s journey . his film is also scored with a gentle piano melody that intensifies its embrace of the world that \u201dcentral station\u201d sees .\ndespite such plot development as one of the women being kidnapped and the other being stopped by a highway patrolman who not surprisingly is turned into roadkill , the story never gathers any cumulative force . the largely unseen trucker is defined only by the upside - down crucifix and pentagram hanging from his rear - view mirror .\nurltoken had a rare opportunity for an exclusive extended interview with monaghan , and when the film\u2019s production notes label monaghan as \u201cvivacious , \u201d they aren\u2019t kidding . although this is a serious movie and role , monaghan was a lively and fun interview , punctuating her responses with her delightful laugh and frequently calling the interviewer \u201cdude\u201d and \u201cman\u201d in a way that only she could ever pull off . we also had a chance to talk to the film\u2019s writer / director james mottern , an interview that you can read here .\na found - footage film , like ' blair witch , ' combined with ' bowling for columbine . ' instead of witches and guns , it ' s a teen outcast with supernormal abilities ; like ' carrie ' with shaky - cam and cool cg .\ndiane leads a solitary and carefree life as a trucker , punctuating her driving with nights of hard drinking and one night stands . but when her ex is admitted to hospital with a terminal illness , she is unexpectedly reunited with her estranged 11 - year - old son peter which is a shock to the system for both of them .\nif american honey is fuelled by a sense of hope and possibility , arnold believes that this is largely thanks to the cast . the majority are non - professional actors , plucked from skate - parks and wal - mart lots . they all came from difficult circumstances but , she insists , they all brought their own spirit , a spark of undimmed potential . \u201csome of their lives have changed as a result of the film . some got jobs or moved away from abusive partners . the film gave them a small sense of control of their lives . \u201d\nit was inspired by the marvel comics characters howard the duck and beverly switzler created by steve gerber , although their appearance and portrayals almost completely ignored their source material . it is the first film based on a marvel comics character to receive a wide theatrical release in american theaters .\na clever form of direction with stylish effects , josh trank ' s chronicle supplies a rare thrilling blend of action and drama . though the effects are slightly bland and unreal , the film is saved by its superb young cast and overall excitement and script . 4 . 5 / 5\nmottern : okay , susan , don\u2019t get me started on this one . this is a book . well , you know that producer marc gill wrote about how the sky was falling in indie film , and he was right . it\u2019s been a slog . it\u2019s a nearly insurmountable task to get an independent film completed in the first place , and even more difficult to get it into theaters , and beyond that to get people to come see it . there is so little money around , ad costs are huge , and the places to exhibit are slimmer and slimmer . on top of that , dvd sales are slow , piracy is rampant , and video chains are closing down left , right , and center . but we have a distributor who has been very open about hearing new ideas and working with our producers and talent to get our film out there .\nlesson : don\u2019t ever use a fake cb handle ( candy cane no less ) to trick a truck driver into meeting you at a sleazy motel on the side of a freeway . nine times out of ten that trucker will be a shotgun - wielding , psychotic killer who will stop at nothing to teach you and your prankster bro a lesson about messing with truck drivers .\nonly a trucker would say : \u201cjust remember what ol ' jack burton does when the earth quakes , and the poison arrows fall from the sky , and the pillars of heaven shake . yeah , jack burton just looks that big ol ' storm right square in the eye and he says ,\ngive me your best shot , pal . i can take it .\nmaking estranged parent - child relationship films work depend largely on two things \u2013 the script and the actors . in trucker , debut filmmaker james mottern has both nailed . although the story may sound trite and clich\u00e9d it\u2019s all in the handling and while jimmy bennett is good as the disillusioned and apparently unwanted peter , the real star is michelle monaghan in the lead role . she demands attention\u2026\nan amazing festival ! they do a great job of providing awesome venues within vail for parties , seminars & networking with other filmmakers . i can ' t think of a more beautiful town for a festival . i highly recommend you submit your film here and should you get accepted , you have to go !\nmottern : you know , since this picture came out , michelle\u2019s been getting rave reviews pretty much across the board . there have been a couple of naysayers who must live in their mothers\u2019 basements and don\u2019t get enough sunlight or something , but basically everyone can see what a bang - up job she does in this part . it\u2019s a role where at first you kind of think you know what she is doing but then , as she goes through the film , she surprises you in these subtle and not so subtle ways . that was my hope in making this film . that something seemingly familiar wasn\u2019t something you necessarily understood at all .\ncs : i got to see the movie a couple days ago and you and james did an amazing job creating this character and capturing this amazing performance on film . i really don\u2019t know how you did it . monaghan : yeah , i don\u2019t know . i look back on it now and i\u2019m just glad i didn\u2019t crash that truck .\nbeautifully observed and featuring a bravura performance by the brazilian actress fernanda montenegro , it gracefully watches these oddly paired characters develop a fractious bond that winds up profoundly changing both of them . mr . salles\u2019s background as a documentary filmmaker also gives this lovely , stirring film a strong sense of brazil\u2019s impoverished rural landscape once its principals take to the road .\nhoward the duck ( also known as howard : a new breed of hero in europe ) is a 1986 live - action film produced by lucasfilm and universal pictures , directed by willard huyck from a script by huyck and his wife gloria katz . it starred lea thompson , jeffrey jones , tim robbins and chip zien as the voice of howard .\nmonaghan , who just signed to star with shia labeouf in the d . j . caruso - directed \u201ceagle eye\u201d for dreamworks , sparked to the script when it was submitted to her early . she attached herself before the film went out for financing , and she went so far as to get training and a license to drive a tractor - trailer .\nin terms of distribution i think that any indie production needs to build into their budget at least some funds for self - distribution . even larger distributors are looking for other sources of financing or partnerships to distribute films , and i think it falls on the shoulders of the filmmakers to learn the distribution business inside and out ; so that even if a distributor picks up their film , they are versed in the logistics of mounting a campaign . a filmmaker may not understand everything in terms of business but is almost universally the best and most ardent supporter of his or her film . there\u2019s a great book by author marshall fine about cassavetes that i highly recommend as an inspiration for this type of approach .\ncs : i\u2019d imagine they\u2019d have to be very tough , because as we see in the movie , sexism is very common and you\u2019d have to be very thick - skinned as a woman trucker . monaghan : you have to be really thick - skinned , especially truck stops . they\u2019re not necessarily safe places . there\u2019s a lot of things that go down in truck stops and a lot of things they shared with me . you\u2019re not in this job because it\u2019s a tough living , but you have to love the job in order to be in it , because they\u2019re long hours that take you away from your family and friends . often times , it\u2019s not safe , whether you\u2019re just on the road or in a truck stop . i really tip my hat to anybody who is a trucker . i actually miss it so much , i can\u2019t even tell you . yeah , it was one of the greatest things i think i\u2019ve ever done .\nof course , all the trouble could have been avoided if the women had checked into a motel for the night or , say , chosen a new route . but no , even after stopping at a roadside diner where the trucker has also parked ( and profanely acussed an innocent man of being their attacker ) , they get back into their car again and again , only to be confronted by the truck whose engine apparently has been upgraded to race car proportions for just such an eventuality .\nunhitched is a portrait of a community that has transformed travel trailers into permanent homes . tucked away in a redwood grove in northern california , faerie ring campground and rv park serves as one of the only options for low income housing in the area . through the residents ' experiences , this film illustrates the value of having a place to call home while expanding our notions of community .\nit\u2019s true we\u2019re up against studios that have a lot more money to make and distribute a film . and in some ways , i wished our movie got picked up by sony classics , lionsgate , or one of the others that circled around it . but you know what ? we didn\u2019t , and still michelle got great reviews . and i got to learn things i never would have known !\nyou are anticipating , as i did , that\ntrucker\nwould turn into one of those predictable movies where the mother and son grow to love each other . it doesn ' t end with mutual hate and abandonment , but it damn near does . the kid is as tough as his mom .\nanswer me !\nshe says .\ni don ' t talk to bitches !\nhe says . len and jenny seem nice enough . where did he learn to talk like that ? little pitchers have big ears .\nmonaghan is diane ford , a trucker who just paid off her own rig . she ' s 30 - ish , cold , hard - drinking , promiscuous , a loner . bennett plays her son , peter . she left him with his father len ( benjamin bratt ) soon after his birth , has stayed away , doesn ' t like kids - - or men , either , although she uses them . one man ( nathan fillion ) has been her best friend for four years , but that involves getting drunk together and never having sex .\ndirector andrea arnold acknowledges her film is about the american dream . \u201ci was aware of that when i was making it , but it\u2019s been fed back a lot to me since . it probably has to do with the idea of selling . these kids are supposedly selling magazines , but really they are selling themselves . that feels very american . so the environment in the bus is like a potted version of a bigger picture . \u201d\nironically as the film is meant to showcase michelle monaghan , i was most impressed with nathan fillion ; the man who made captain mal reynolds , captain hammer and mayor of mars on thrilling adventure hour takes it down to playing just an average ' jack of all trades ' and makes him vulnerable and likable and torn between his wife ( who we dont see much of ) and monaghan . an admirable little movie marred by predictability .\nwe never could have predicted just how many people have a dog in the \u201cbest trucking movie of all time\u201d fight . we made a claim last month that patrick swayze\u2019s \u201cblack dog\u201d was the greatest truck driving film in cinematic history , which admittedly seems like a pretty outlandish claim when you have cult classics like \u201csmokey and the bandit\u201d and \u201cconvoy\u201d out there . one guy emailed us to say that he purposely broke his netflix copy of \u201cblack dog\u201d just so that there would be one less copy of \u201cthe worst movie ever made . \u201d another dude wrote on our facebook that \u201cblack dog\u201d was one of two movies that he actually had to walk out of the theaters because it was so bad . these aren\u2019t exactly beaming testimonials for our beloved swayze film , but we are standing behind our main man and that claim that \u201cblack dog\u201d is no . 1 on list of the best trucking movies .\nif arnold\u2019s film has an ancestor , it may be the grapes of wrath , john ford\u2019s searing 1940 odyssey adapted from the steinbeck bestseller and charting the voyage of a family of dustbowl migrants . like star , the joads hail from oklahoma . like her , they are chasing the promise of a better life . and like american honey , ford\u2019s drama aims for an unvarnished , social - realist intensity , documenting the desperate lives of a marginalised underclass .\n1 . duel ( 1971 ) : directed by steven spielberg , duel was actually one of those rare made - for - tv movies that were good , ultimately being the film that shot spielberg to fame . the plot followed a man driving a car being pursued by a killer truck driver taking part in an intense cat - and - mouse game with each other . full of heart - stopping chases and an unforgettable conclusion , duel is considered a classic .\nit is this quality , i suspect , that makes the film so special . on my first viewing , i filed it as a bizarrely joyous and exuberant picture , despite its harsh subject matter . after watching it a second time , i think it might be more complex . more likely the joy and the subject matter are indivisible , each dependent on the other . some films come to prop up the faltering , debased notion of american exceptionalism ; others to expose it as a bright and shining lie . but american honey sees the dream for what it is \u2013 a fantasy born out of hardship \u2013 and appreciates it on its own terms . intuitively arnold\u2019s film understands that the trip is usually more exciting than the destination , that the pursuit is invariably more authentic than the happiness at the end . or , to put it another way , in chasing after the dream we are , in fact , already living it .\ncs : as a producer ? were you involved with \u201ctrucker\u201d as a producer ? monaghan : yeah , i got a producer credit , and listen , i wasn\u2019t the nuts \u2018n\u2019 bolts of it , certainly not . plum pictures were . they were terrific in getting this movie made , but i was able to have more creative control and have access to things that i normally have not had before , as a producer . that\u2019s definitely something where i want to get more involved in , and certainly have a lot more to learn , but it definitely interests me and i\u2019m going to do more of that .\ndavid mamet and danny devito may have failed to blow the lid off the teamsters union in hoffa , but sturla gunnarsson and writer anne wheeler ( herself an experienced director ) are clearly made of sterner stuff . as is barbara williams , who turns in a gutsy performance here as the chain - smoking , tough - talking trucker , whose sense of decency drove her to expose corruption within the union and its links to organised crime . and all this in spite of the trauma of nursing a brain - damaged son . stuart margolin lends selfless support as her older lover , but this is williams ' s show .\nthe film evinces a kinship with the disaffected youth portraits of gus van sant , like elephant and paranoid park , and the darker brand of generational nihilism purveyed by harmony korine ; its raw sexual content , wild energy and moments of reckless crime specifically recall spring breakers . the latter title ' s u . s . distributor , a24 , also has domestic on american honey , which will require creative marketing to overcome the challenges of its non - story and overextended 162 - minute running time .\nmuch of the movie unfolds in confined spaces like the van , truck compartments or cheap motel rooms , but even open - air , walking - and - talking scenes are viewed through a tightly focused lens . startling images of nature punctuate the film , providing an expressive motif that invites comparison to the work of terrence malick \u2014 from bugs , birds and bees to dogs , cows and horses , a turtle , a sugar glider and a bear that clearly hasn ' t seen the revenant .\ndiane ' s free - wheeling life of drunken one - night - stands as a professional trucker hits a road block when peter , her son , is dropped at her doorstep . her former husband len , whom she abandoned eleven years ago along with their new - born son , has cancer and no one else to turn to while he ' s in the hospital . peter , resentful and wary , wants , even needs a mother who ' ll want him at this worrisome time but knows better than to expect this from diane . with deliveries waiting and a mortgage to be paid , there ' s only one inevitable thing ahead for diane and peter - a road trip together .\ntrucker has a lot of heart . i would say it this way this is the story of a kid who just wants his mom to love home and take time for him . its too bad that she has no idea how to be a mom . she even goes so far and to tell her son that she never wanted him in the first place . i have always been a fan of anything jimmy bennett has a part in he did a great job of playing the part of\npeter\n. if you are a fan of jimmy bennett ' s work you will enjoy this movie . i . m . h . o . the only bad thing is a lot of bad words in this one\nbefore coming to stanford , erin lived in denver and managed a non - profit teen center at girls incorporated . her favorite part of the job was working collaboratively with young women to investigate identity and creative forms of self - expression through media literacy , video production and digital storytelling . during her free time , erin made a film about her 94 - year - old grandmother who struggled to give up her favorite pastime , driving . erin is originally from albuquerque , new mexico and holds a ba in women ' s studies and urban studies from colorado college .\nfacets : truckers and their profession amount to a sort - of subculture due to the isolation of the road . their trucks are akin to their living spaces and truck stops are like their neighborhoods . almost everything they wear , eat , enjoy during leisure time , or need for their trucks comes from a truck stop . they have their own slang , clothing style , jokes , and even their own set of symbols . how much did you get into that while you were writing the movie ? it seems alluded to in the film\u2014diane\u2019s clothing , for example\u2014but not dwelled on .\nthe film follows the fortunes of teenage star , played by sasha lane , who lights out to \u201cexplore america\u201d as part of an itinerant crew of magazine vendors . her route loops back and forth across the midwest , from strip malls and oil derricks to sterile mcmansions perched on irrigated lawns . inside the bus , the crew members thrill to songs of freedom and empowerment . outside , they angle for subscriptions , spinning a different story at every door . they speak in horatio alger , working - hard - to - escape - poverty cliches . theirs is the rags - to - riches life , yet it\u2019s clear from the start these kids are going nowhere fast .\ni concede the story arc is fairly predictable , assuming neither one murders the other . but mottern and his actors take no hostages . diane is hard and tough , and stays that way . her son is angry and bitter , and stays that way . does they need to love and be loved ? sure . we know that , but they don ' t . by the end of the film , she hasn ' t called him\npeter\nand he hasn ' t called her\nmom .\nhe ' s\nkid\nor\ndude ,\nand she ' s\nyou .\nthey have to be together whether they like it or not , and they know it .\ninstead , the film works best as a poignant character study , observing star as she settles into her independence and figures out who she wants to be , framed by a vast physical landscape that stretches socioeconomically from privileged wealth to squalid poverty . there ' s a wonderful intimacy in the way arnold examines young women in her films . that ' s true here of scenes like one with an oilfield worker who pays star $ 1 , 000 for some pretty miserable sex . or another in which she makes a sales call on a dirt - poor house , and responds with empathy to the kids , all but abandoned by their junkie mother , with nothing in the refrigerator but a bottle of mountain dew .\nit would be nice to credit american honey with providing the cast with the dream \u2013 or at least a convenient leg - up towards it . but that\u2019s too much the hollywood happy ending . it doesn\u2019t account for the other pitfalls on the road , the fact that people can backslide and circumstances can change . it may even run counter to the abiding spirit of the film \u2013 which exults in the freewheeling abandon that comes from having nothing much left to lose , the thrill of whipping through the fringes of an unfamiliar city with the music up loud and the sunroof thrown back to show off the stars . all around is a humdrum nightmare of dead - end jobs and foreclosed homes , vacant lots on the endless road . but in the middle , in the moment , there\u2019s the american dream .\nthe revolution that stan lee brought to comics was basically the idea that humans with superpowers were still humans nonetheless ( that ' s the revolution ? ? ? and yet from such small beginnings . . . ! ) and thus flawed , their flaws manifest in spite of whatever their extra power might be . and so this film ' s tragic story : teens get special abilities , yes , powers far beyond the ken of mortal men ( i love that phrase ! ) , but are no more capable relating to others than before , their personal idiosyncrasies just as apparent and what makes them special also makes them perhaps dangerous to the rest of us . told via the best cgi money can buy and well , what ' s delivered is not a bad tale of teen angst gone . . . wow . cool .\nin terms of production of smaller films , any film really , i think that in general , people in the movie business have to realize that the money that has been out there for all these films and for their personal gain simply does not exist anymore . i have an especially sore spot for agents as they are the gatekeepers of all these projects ; and i understand that their job is not to make movies but to make deals . some agents i have dealt with are extremely progressive in the way they see reality , but others refuse to accept that that movie business they came up in no longer exists . i would hope that agents soon will come to terms with the fact that their talent\u2014and the projects they want their talent in\u2014need nurturing and thought and that they don\u2019t just gun for the highest number . talent needs to account for themselves and to be more involved in this process as well .\narnold was raised on a kent housing estate . american honey , backed by the bfi and film4 , is her first us - set feature . but she points out that , back in the late 1990s , she studied film - making in la . it was america , then , that helped jump - start her career . \u201cgrowing up , \u201d she says , \u201ci was always very conscious of my class . i basically come from a working - class background . but when i went to america , i felt liberated , accepted for who i was as opposed to where i came from . i started to think i could be all i wanted to be , live the idealised life . so i understand the mindset . it\u2019s very seductive . but how does it work if you\u2019re a kid from a small town with no industry and no work except what you can get at the fast - food restaurant ? how do you rise above all that and find some self - belief ? \u201d for many \u2013 for most \u2013 the american dream is just that ."]}

over - a - year old media company - k sera sera ' s managing director parag sanghavi . although sanghavi looks like a pucca delhi babu , he is anything but that .\nsanghvi wants the world to see what exactly happened that day .\nthe idea to make the film is that we want the world to see what happened that day . it ' s been a very emotional journey . we are planning to release the film early next year . i want to take this film across the world ,\nhe said .\nas many as 10 pakistani terrorists attacked taj mahal hotel , oberoi trident hotel , nariman house and cst railway station here on nov 26 , 2008 and killed 166 people .\nit is a huge film for me . it ' s a very expensive film . we didn ' t get to shoot the film in the original locations , so we had to create the entire set . we had to create the cst station , so it wasn ' t easy at all ,\nhe added .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml + rdfa 1 . 0 / / en\nurltoken\na business management graduate , sanghavi has been in the entertainment industry for more than 15 years and is better known for his association with filmmaker ram gopal varma . the association that started off with the varma productions company and road , still continues strong . so much so that you can be pardoned for thinking that k sera sera is a sister concern of rgv production . although both offices are housed in the same\nfactory\n, they are just business associates , maintains sanghavi .\nas managing director , sanghavi has been involved in conceptualising , developing , designing and nurturing the media company . with seven movies on the floor for the year and couple of others in the pipeline , the company is all ready to roll out the next phase - the television production division .\nwhile i was working with ramu ( hindi film director ram gopal varma ) on company and road , i realised that due to lack of planning and discipline , both movies went completely out of budget . if a movie was to be made within rs 10 crore ( rs 100 million ) , the budget soared up to rs 15 crore ( rs 150 million ) . i definitely saw a huge opportunity in the media space , which is when we , ash pamani and me , decided to launch a new media company .\nwe took over a listed company garnet paper along with a few non resident indians based in hong kong and usa and established k sera sera in november 2002 . after establishing the company , we decided to do some pre production homework . one of the major observations was that it was pre production that caused the delay .\nin order to ensure that no particular movie gets delayed unnecessarily , we have established certain systems . we have a final action plan aka a master file and till it is locked , we don ' t get into the execution stage . the master file is a bound script complete with the timeline and the locations , which is duly signed and approved by all the technicians and actors concerned . once that is in place , we move on to the execution stage . whatever calls we have to take , we take them prior to the execution stage . at the execution stage , it becomes more like an assembly line ; it is no more a creative process .\nusually , it so happens that during the execution stage people keep making changes and that is when the budgets go haywire and the films take two to three years to make . any good film shouldn ' t take more than 65 or 70 days to shoot .\nwe started off with darna mana hai , immediately followed by ek hasina thi and the latest movie slotted for release is ab tak chhappan , besides which we have five more films on the floor . we have been able to achieve this primarily because the pre production homework is so strong that everything is taken care of .\nwhen we started , we thought we would do about four films per year . but looking at our output , we have upped it to seven to eight movies for a 2004 - 5 release .\nwe are currently working on murder at srikrishna bulding , naach , gayaab , james , time machine , the sequel of darna mana hai\u2026 . darna jaroori hai and vaastu shastra\nsimple , mr varma looks at the creative side and we handle the production . of course creative is a two way discussion and we are present during the brainstoming sessions . as for the revenue , we have a 50 - 50 share model , but then again it depends on the movie and our involvement with it .\nwe are still working on nimmi ; it is in the conceptual stage and we are yet to finalise both script and star cast . while chala vinod tiwari film banane is still on the back burner , we don ' t think it is a workable proposition .\nwhen the company started , the directors and the associates invested inr 120 million in the company . while 65 per cent of the equity is held by directors , friends and relatives , rest is held by the public .\nwe have a board of directors consisting chairman ash pamani , executive director azam khan and me . we have a chief production administrator who looks after the complete production . all the executive producers and technicians report to him . then we have a head of finance , account , distribution , overseas distribution and their teams . the current employee strength is around 200 people including around 175 people on a subcontract basis .\nno , i don ' t think that we want to limit ourselves to just thrillers . we have a development department , which consists of scriptwriters who throw up ideas . so we kept listening to scripts and ones that we thought were pretty exciting were made into movies . we operate like a factory ; we have seven to eight releases lined up and will be hiking it to 11 - 12 next year so we need the thinking and ideating quickly .\nalso i would like to point out that not each one of them is a thriller . naach is a musical film and gaayab is a film about an invisible man , while james is a hard core commercial film starring new comer mohit alawat .\nplus , it is a myth that thrillers are more economical . i think that they are more expensive than romantic movies . the post production cost is astronomical .\nin 2004 , we will be generating looking at 75 - 80 per cent of our revenue through movies and 20 per cent will be through television . we have signed on quite a number of producers for the television venture , including ravi rai , clapstem ' s girish mallik and dj creative ' s tony singh .\nbusiness , what else ! television is definitely sound money . movie making , as everybody knows , has huge upside but there is a huge risk involved . so we are going to strike a balance by taking some risk ( making movies ) and ensuring regular revenue via television software . you can ' t ignore television anymore . it has a huge market and with likes of the karishma ' s and the malini iyer ' s coming in , even the production values have risen .\nit is a great business opportunity because there is only one strong set up and that is balaji telefilms . rest i believe are moving in different directions . they have too much varied matter on their plate .\ntelevision has loads of talent and plus there are so many different channels , and therefore regular demand for television software . we are going to position ourselves amongst the top three players . with our ability to scale up the movie production , we obviously will be able to deliver three to four times more . couple of channels have already shown some interest in our ventures .\ni don ' t think we will tow the line . personally , i think television is willing to experiment . did any one believe that kaun banega crorepati would work ?\nsince the concept of dailies has grown and the demand for them is high , we will be churning out dailies . we would be looking at a thriller or a high school drama . something for standard ninth and tenth , boarding school tales . . . we have a concept life at st andrews , which we will be pitching to the channels .\nactually we are yet to focus on television , but we have ideas . we should be ready with seven - eight pilots within next six months .\naccording to me , if the content is good , it will work . we are optimistic . plus , i think it is a genre that is not well exploited . you could be surprised !\nwe just handled the production . for both movies , thakaan and bewadadas , we were given the story and the actors . we just worked backwards .\nwhen we zero down on an idea , we get into development phase that includes scouting locations , signing on technicians and actors . once that is done , the master file is collated and a tentative budget put in place . then we take a call whether it is viable or not . if it is , then we go ahead with it . if it is not , then we restructure . if films costs are so expensive that we can ' t recover , we drop it .\ni don ' t think that the phenomenon is as prevalent in india . plus , we are definitely not going to adopt changes in the film to suit the products . but if it suits the screenplay , then why not ?\nek is a minimum 50 million dollar film and is still in pre production stage .\nyes . we feel that distribution is not as transparent in this country and that is one of the reasons why movies suffer . it is either the distribution or piracy that have cost the movie business dear .\nwe are still in the process of setting up the network . ab tak chhappan is the first movie that we are going to distribute in mumbai and delhi - up . while we have tied up with a company for delhi - up distribution , we have set up an office in mumbai . we are eventually going to set up operations all over india and globally .\nit is a highly disorganized business and plus it is not transparent . according to me , to maximize revenues any production house will eventually have to distribute .\ndigital is still in a nascent stage . it will be an additional revenue but the print distribution will not stop . what the producer can opt for is make both prints for prime centres and release the movie digitally in the outskirts . one good thing , it will help counter piracy as the movies will reach all the centres .\nincidentally is there any formula for success . looking at the industry pattern , it seems that either big budget movies succeed or small budget movie recover their cost . or is it that publicity is the key to success ?\ni don ' t think that there is such a formula . i have seen rs two crore ( 20 million ) movies failing to recover even their production cost and 20 crore ( 200 million ) films losing 20 crore .\nultimately , it is the content that drives the box office . we can control our production cost , make it a high quality product and stick to the deadline , yet we need strong content to back it .\nbut yes , i will agree that publicity is key to a movie ' s success . if any movie has to get into theatres , its television promos have to work .\nideally , any movie would need a minimum promotion budget of rs 1 . 5 crore ( 15 million ) .\nwe will be picking up the hindi movie concept that we think will be viable in the tamil market . then we will produce the film with their artistes and technicians . radaan will supervise the complete production .\nthe first movie that we plan to make is time machine . it is a movie that requires elaborate sets and expensive post production . so ideally , if we shoot it in two or three different languages , the effective costs per movie would be less .\nmore often than not , such concepts have failed to work . how sure are you about its success ?\ni agree . there is not a great history but there are certain stories that have universal appeal . like for example , we won ' t adapt ab tak chappan , which is about police encounter , but stories like murder at srikrishna building about a man who kills his wife is going to appeal universally ( laughs ) .\ni can insure the movies against the production casualties including actor problems but unfortunately we cannot assure the revenue . it is done in hollywood though .\nno ! not at all . in fact , they loved the corporate structure and everybody was happy with it . in this industry , people often keep talking about numbers but they don ' t deliver . we needed a hollywood kind of structure . since we are a listed company , all our dealings have been through cheques and people welcomed it .\nnah ! personally , i think the trend of corporate bodies getting into filmmaking is very good for the industry . it introduces a lot of discipline . but what corporate bodies have to understand is that this industry is still a personalized business . a lot of things can be achieved by merging the two : a ) discipline and b ) relationship management .\ncontrary to popular perception , even the actors are liking the discipline . we hear a lot of horror stories about them , but we don ' t know the other side of it .\nyou have recently raised your authorized share capital from rs 1 . 5 billion to rs 2 . 5 billion . where do you propose to use that extra rs 1 billion ?\nwe have just raised the authorized capital , but we have not issued the capital . we have just made a provision in case we plan a preferential issue or a public offering in the near future .\nit is just a statutory thing . companies always keep the authorized capital little higher as a procedural matter .\nnot really , but we will be looking into star management . we have that plan for 2005 end we will be looking at a joint revenue sharing model with the stars .\nsince the financial year officially ends on 31 march 2004 , we can only offer approximate figures . our turnover is rs 25 - 30 crore ( 250 - 300 million ) ; about rs five crore ( 50 million ) profit .\nwe have been improving every day , we have successfully tried to cut costs wherever it is possible and it is turning out to be more and more lucrative .\nalso if you look at content , i think vaastushastra will be the scariest movie ever . plus we will be also looking at the hollywood market .\nwe are looking at hollywood market to distribute indian films . but we are very clear that we are not going to change our screenplay for the revenue it may fetch us from overseas .\ni think the indian film industry has just started out . there is a huge overseas opportunity . india has content , just that it ' s not marketed well . producers do not look at overseas avenues ; they just look at a few territories .\nno . i think indian movies have the potential . look at bend it like beckham , monsoon wedding , chalte chalte or koi mil gaya . . . they did a great business overseas . if chinese movies sell , i think we have quite a big chance . except that we haven ' t yet positioned ourselves .\nbut it ' s either the diaspora movies or musical extravangzas that work well with the nris . your kind of movies are westernised , why will the western market even look at the inspired versions ?\nyou got a point there but i am quite bullish that it is content that excites viewers . if you give them good content , they will watch .\nthe indian kabaddi team is ready with all guns firing for the 18th asian games jakarta in august 2018 .\neros now , india\u2019s premiere video ott platform and gold\u2019s gym , have announced a new partnership in india .\nmumbai : it ' s promotion time at the reliance industries -

fetishes flower in so many young minds at the same time . but the idea that we should debate how \u201cfeminist\u201d wonder woman may or may not be is , despite its female director and star , laughable .\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 .\nbased on the new york times bestseller , wonder tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of august pullman , a boy with facial differences who enters 5th grade , attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time .\nhighlighted by its chirpy , earworm hook , tell me subverts 80\u2019s electronic pop in true wonder girls style , offering one of their most enduring choruses in the process .\npeople ride an escalator to the convention hall as the doors open for preview night at comic -

a girl said to have survived without food for months . tourists have flocked to the cabin of eleven - year - old anna o ' donnell , and a journalist has come down to cover the sensation . the wonder is a tale of two strangers who transform each other ' s lives , a psychological thriller , and a story of love pitted against evil .\nbeautiful to look at , but goes absolutely nowhere and takes forever to do it . rachel mcadams is in it for about 20 minutes , so if she\u2019s your motivation to watch ( which i hate to admit is the main reason i picked it up ) , choose something else . it\u2019s very open to interpretation as there is very little dialogue and it seems to have religion as a strong theme too which may not appeal to all .\nwonder woman is the dc movie i ' ve been waiting for . it ' s exciting , inspiring , funny , and has some truly awe -

wonder to try and discern the truth . lib is educated and harshly skeptical , believing she will unlock the mystery quickly to expose a ruse . but there is more going on than she knows and anna\nin april , gadot explained how the visual -

mom was\nvery secretive\nand caused some suspicion around set when trailers that would\nnever be locked\nsuddenly were . hannigan says she first met the mother , cristin milioti , in a makeup trailer because producers wanted to see how the pair looked side by side .\nthough i didn\u2019t have the intellectual honesty to admit this to my mother , in fairness it should be pointed out that the right isn\u2019t singularly guilty of such perverse investments . progressives were similarly vested in the failure of the 2007 iraq surge championed by senator john mccain that more dispassionate observers later conceded had some success . but at the least in that instance some consensus existed on what the metrics of success might be\u2014which was stabilization of the iraqi situation\u2014not to mention the terminology by which success might be defined . in the same way that my mother and i aren\u2019t even talking about the same obamacare when we talk about obamacare , we\u2019re not talking

'\ndi : half of our slots are for the general public . the other half we call \u201coutreach\u201d interviews , where we partner with nonprofits\u2014they suggest their clients go into the booths to record their stories . i think the power of the storycorps interview is that having someone listen to you in this quiet booth and asking who you are and how you want to be remembered tells people that they matter . a bunch of years ago on the bowery , i did a radio documentary and a book about guys who lived in these prison - size cubicles with chicken wire on the top . i remember bringing the galley up into one of the flophouses and showing it to one of the guys who was in the book . he stood there for a couple of seconds and then he yanked the book out of my hands and he started running down the hall with the book over his head shouting , \u201ci exist ! i exist ! \u201d\nyou say the character [ of leo bloom ] was meek and insecure , and you could ' ve been describing me as well . i was a very shy person in those days , and working with zero , who was bigger than life , helped me grow . zero was a strong influence on me .\n\u201cwe\u2019ve had conversations for a full year about a potential spinoff , no one has written it yet , \u201d walden said . \u201cultimately i think if something comes organically out of the show , we\u2019d pursue it . we don\u2019t want to force it on the show because if it doesn\u2019t feel organic it will feel like it will be just a distraction from the flagship . we really believe in the show , we want it to live for a very long time and at a certain point , after one - two seasons , the creators felt that the flagship was the priority and we support that . \u201d\n\u201cwe both came up with the idea that she should go barefoot for the entire movie and be more connected to the house , which was sort of part of her\u2014one organism\u2014so she slipped off her shoes and put her feet on the hardwood floor and i just saw her change and she became the character , \u201d aronofsky said .\nbardem\u2019s character is also obsessed with a mysterious crystal that he keeps in his office , which nobody is allowed to touch , and often takes advantage of lawrence\u2019s kindly nature . but she takes it in her stride , insisting that her husband is a very special sort of genius and needs time and space to create his next work .\nnow that i think about it , with the perspective of only a single week , i don\u2019t remember what mom and i talked about at what i do otherwise remember to have been our very pleasant lunch . i seem to recall some comment about how good our government - regulated chicken pot pies were , how my work was going , my ups and downs in parenting her 16 - year - old grandson and eight - year - old granddaughter\u2014the stuff that maybe moms and their grown sons should talk about . and then , having flirted with danger at some barely stable nexus of our two parallel political universes , we retreated to other , much simpler matters , like god .\nstore , ice cream shop , or dry cleaners . we didn\u2019t want to work at a liquor store because during this time the la riots were happening and they were targeted so we decided not to go that route . and i can do anything with my hands . i knew how to sew already and thought that working at a dry cleaners would be easier .\njaime has lost his job and has to provide for his wife , son and daughter . pressured by this circumstances , he visits his mom , who lives in an apartment he owns , to ask her to move with him so he can sell the apartment . but she is not going to cooperate . and , to jaime ' s surprise , she also has a boyfriend !\nher voice was the soundtrack of your childhood , her hands the ones that fed you , held you , dressed you in your first clothes . as a child you saw her daily , and as a grownup your connection to her is apt to remain so instinctive that you don\u2019t even think about it . but how well do you really know your mother ? her life was rich and full of sauce well before you got here . the part of her you have seen and valued as her child is really only one facet of a complex and intriguing person .\nradio producer dave isay first made his mark with stories like ghetto life 101 , for which he enlisted a pair of precocious eighth - graders to document their lives in a chicago housing project . he saw how putting the kids in charge of the recording gear gave them license to ask questions they might never have asked otherwise\u2014and how the mere act of participating in these very personal interviews \u201ccould transform people\u2019s lives . \u201d\nactor josh radnor was told about the major\nhimym\nfinale twist during season 1 of the show and hannigan actually found out early as well . they had to film a lot of reactions for ted mosby ' s kids early in the series that would then air in later seasons , the actress said , and after that some\nwhisperings\nstarted getting out that the series would end with the mom ' s death .\nunfinished conversations is about the present , in that all of the works were made in the recent past and many respond to specific circumstances . viewed in juxtaposition , they are made within the context of today\u2019s global rise of populist movements organized around notions of racial and national belonging in both liberal democratic and autocratic states . however , beyond simply responding to the present , many of them participate in the formation of our reality . these artists anticipate the future through a close study of history , whether recent or centuries long . the exhibition attempts to follow the artists\u2019 leads , asking how present crises are produced by what came before ; querying not if things are getting worse but , rather , paying close attention to some of the cultural struggles that have long structured democracy , freedom , and human rights as values based in historical contradictions .\nat the time , i didn ' t know why , but i know now that when i was a little boy , i was scared to death of the frankenstein films . . . and in all these years later , i wanted it to come out with a happy ending , and i think it was my fear of the frankenstein movies when i was 8 and 9 and 10 years old that made me want to write that story .\nthere are some that will roll their eyes at this and say \u201csex reveal , gender real , it\u2019s all the same thing , \u201d but it\u2019s not . words matter , and in a world where 40 percent of transgender individuals attempt to take their life at least once and a record number of transgender teens are ending up homeless , defining for any child what their gender is and what it should look like just doesn\u2019t sit right with me .\ni met her on the first night of filming . . . hanky panky that sidney poitier was directing . and it ' s funny , i was in costume and makeup \u2014 my tuxedo and makeup because i ' d done a few shots before she arrived , and she told me later that she cried all the way in , in the car , because she knew that she was going to fall in love with me and want to get married .\nmy family immigrated to the united states in 1992 . a trained artist in korea , younghye han left that behind and has spent the last 24 years , working 12 hours a day , 6 days a week , as a seamstress and running her own dry cleaning business in manteca , california . it has been 24 years since her last painting . inspired by the birth of her first granddaughter in 2015 , she began drawing and painting again . this is my mother\u2019s first exhibition . it features her works made in korea , her most recent pieces , and my responses to her last unfinished drawings made in the first year we immigrated to the united states .\n\u201cthis movie comes from darren\u2019s mind , but he really wanted the people around him to interpret it and give their opinions about it , \u201d messina said about the production process . \u201cgiven the movies that darren has made , like requiem for a dream , is she dosing herself ? \u201d messina wondered to vanity fair , noting that the film is told entirely through lawrence\u2019s perspective with careful camera angles . \u201c\u2018is this really happening ? is this all a dream ? \u2019\u201d\n\u201cthere are all of these alchemy theories about the octagon and numeric beliefs about the number eight and about infinity and regeneration , \u201d said aronofsky , adding that it also gave him a new , literal dimension to play with in terms of cinematography . \u201cthe reason i like the octagon shape as a filmmaker was when i shot through a doorway you\u2019re not looking at a flat wall . you\u2019re looking at a diagonal wall that adds depth and just makes things more interesting . \u201d\nunfinished conversations : new works from the collection assembles artworks by 15 artists made in the past decade and recently acquired by the museum of modern art . the exhibition takes its title from john akomfrah\u2019s 2012 video installation the unfinished conversation , which is included in the show and chronicles the life and work of stuart hall , the jamaican - born cultural theorist and a leader of the british new left . in his 2011 essay \u201c social responsibility , cultural sustainability , \u201d hall argued that museums are places where meaning is debated and narratives of the past are shaped . furthermore , he contended that museum collections are \u201ca source of inspiration which create thought - provoking visions of our past . they provide testimony to the darkest and brightest of human history . \u201d this exhibition explores how hall\u2019s understanding of history as both multifaceted and in need of interrogation is reflected in artworks from moma\u2019s collection , and how these recently made works offer insights into our historical present .\nmother ! mastermind darren aronofsky has said that he is open to audiences interpreting his surreal nightmare drama , premiering friday , in a number of ways . he personally described the film as an \u201cassault\u201d and a \u201cfever dream . \u201d star jennifer lawrence acknowledged that it isn\u2019t a horror film as much as it is a giant allegory , and the film was only classified as horror because they wanted to mentally prepare audiences for the atrocities graphically depicted on screen . and last week , at a toronto film festival premiere , co - star ed harris joked , \u201ci\u2019m still not quite sure what to think of it all . \u201d deadpanned javier bardem : \u201cbasically i did not know what i was doing . . . i don\u2019t even really speak english . \u201d\nat such junctures , however , our conversations become not just futile but as loony as all the other discussions these days of so - called obamacare . they\u2019re loony because they\u2019re about a law that\u2019s already passed and whose success or failure is already underway and will eventually speak for itself in defiance of any effort now to try and interpret that success or failure beforehand , and maybe even in spite of the concerted efforts of republican governors to sabotage it . all of which is to say that , because mom gets all her \u201cinformation\u201d within the bubble of fox nation , she missed the recent spectacle occasioned by a congressional budget office report on obamacare and jobs when the news story became not the report itself but rather the right\u2019s interpretation of it , concluding that the report said what in fact it didn\u2019t ( which is that obamacare would kill jobs rather than offer more senior workers , for example , the opportunity to leave the job force if they want , since they no longer have to keep a job simply for the health - care benefits ) . politics always is about perception to some extent but obamacare\u2019s outcome is beyond the politics of perception , something the right can\u2019t accept because it\u2019s too vested in a failure that , whatever you might think of the original policy , would be catastrophic , since even most of the right now begrudgingly acknowledges\u2014as heard in the republican responses to the state of the union\u2014that the earlier status quo no longer is tenable as it had to do with a health - care system that was on its way to consuming a quarter of the national economy .\ndi : if you were going to do interviews in a penitentiary , it takes a lot of work and a lot of planning . but everyone wants to participate . alex kotlowitz \u2014a great guy who wrote there are no children here \u2014and i were talking about this idea that you\u2019ll do an interview with someone , specifically people who have served in iraq and afghanistan , and it\u2019ll be this very powerful story . at the end , you\u2019ll be like , \u201chave you ever told this story before ? \u201d and they\u2019ll say no . and you\u2019ll say , \u201cwhy ? \u201d \u201cno one ever asked . \u201d\n\u201cbut let\u2019s channel that anger not into hate , not into violence , not into fear , but let\u2019s channel that difference , that anger into righteous action . right now , down the road there\u2019s a blood drive going on in heather\u2019s name . right now there are people who are here willing to listen to one another and talk to one another . last night in new england , they had a peaceful rally in heather\u2019s name to have some difficult dialogues . if you ever want to see what one of those dialogues look like , look at her facebook posts . i\u2019m telling you , they were rough sometimes , but they were dialogues and the conversations have to happen . that\u2019s the only way we\u2019re going to carry heather\u2019s spark through . so remember in your heart , if you\u2019re not outraged , you\u2019re not paying attention , and i want you to pay attention , find what\u2019s wrong , don\u2019t ignore it , don\u2019t look the other way , you make a point to look at it and say to yourself \u2018what can i do to make a difference ? \u2019 and that\u2019s how you\u2019re going to make my child\u2019s death worthwhile . i\u2019d rather have my child , but by golly , if i got to give her up , we\u2019re going to make it count . \u201d"]}

was he born this way ?\nin the bad seed ( 1956 ) , christine penmark ( played by nancy kelly ) makes the following statement about rhoda ( patty mccormack ) , her 9 - year - old daughter :\nthere ' s a maturity about her that my husband and i find disturbing .\nthere is a lot of literature out there about\nbad\nchildren , mini - psychopaths , and even more so now with the recent breakthroughs in genetic mapping and mri - work on brain functionality . the new consensus , which is an idea as old as time itself , is that psychopaths are often not made , but born . it has been a common belief for about two centuries that a child ' s environment is the key factor in developing its character , although psychiatrists and neuroscientists are now arguing that this is often not the case . while coming from a good home impacts a child ' s chances of living an upstanding life , there have always been horrifying crimes committed by children of\ngood\nfamilies , which throw the whole belief system into chaos . the columbine killers are the most notorious example , but the list is a long one .\nthe human race has been coming up with explanations for evil since the dawn of time . the devil fell from heaven , took up residence on earth , and has been making mischief ever since . man has the capability for evil because eve ate the apple . cain slew abel . that sin reminds us what we all are capable of .\njohn steinbeck ' s east of eden is a biblical parable of the cain and abel story . there are the\nbad\nbrothers ( whose names start with c ) , and the good brothers ( whose names start with a ) , and their fates seem to be sealed from birth . cal , from the third generation , ( played by james dean in the movie of the same name ) is the first one who tries to be\ngood ,\nat least as good as his brother aron . cal was born of the union between a saintly man named adam and a devilish woman named cathy . after the birth of cal , cathy promptly abandoned the family and set up a bordello in a nearby town . when steinbeck introduces us to cathy as a small child , it is , along with dostoevsky ' s raskolnikov in crime and punishment , the most insightful portrait of a psychopath ever put on paper . steinbeck doesn ' t mince words , and it is worth it to quote extensively :\ni believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents . some you can see , misshapen and horrible , with huge heads or tiny bodies ; some are born with no arms , no legs , some with three arms , some with tails or mouths in odd places . they are accidents and no one\u2019s fault , as used to be thought . once they were considered the visible punishment for concealed sins . and just as there are physical monsters , can there not be mental or psychic monsters born ? the face and body may be perfect , but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters , may not the same process produce a malformed soul ?\nmonsters are variations from the accepted normal to a greater or a less degree . as a child may be born without an arm , so one may be born without kindness or the potential of conscience . a man who loses his arms in an accident has a great struggle to adjust himself to the lack , but one born without arms suffers only from people who find him strange . having never had arms , he cannot miss them . sometimes when we are little we imagine how it would be to have wings , but there is no reason to suppose it is the same feeling birds have . no , to a monster the norm must seem monstrous , since everyone is normal to himself . to the inner monster it must be even more obscure , since he has no visible thing to compare with others . to a man born without conscience , a soul - stricken man must seem ridiculous . to a criminal , honesty is foolish . you must not forget that a monster is only a variation , and that to a monster the norm is monstrous .\nit is my belief that cathy ames was born with the tendencies , or lack of them , which drove and forced her all of her life . some balance wheel was misweighed , some gear out of ratio . she was not like other people , never was from birth . and just as a cripple may learn to utilize his lack so that he becomes more effective in a limited field than the uncrippled , so did cathy , using her difference , make a painful and bewildering stir in her world .\nthere was a time when a girl like cathy would have been called possessed by the devil . she would have been exorcised to cast out the evil spirit , and if after many trials that did not work , she would have been burned as a witch for the good of the community . . .\neven as a child she had some quality that made people look at her , then look away , then look back at her , troubled at something foreign . something looked out of her eyes , and was never there when one looked again . she moved quietly and talked little , but she could enter no room without causing everyone to turn toward her . . .\nsince cathy was an only child her mother had no close contrast in the family . she thought all children were like her own . and since all parents are worriers she was convinced that all her friends had the same problems ."]}

aga khan museum director yosef baraki\nhis film portrays mina trying to stay in school and avoid a life as a kabul street seller as she struggles to care for her father , a useless junkie , and her senile grandfather after her mother was killed by the taliban .\nthe character of mina is largely based on the two sisters and what baraki saw and was told , by them , of their lives . he was especially struck that these young girls appeared to sell more and be more intrepid than their elder siblings .\nthough afghan women are no longer prisoners in their homes after the ouster of the taliban , the country\u2019s destabilization after years of war has alienated impoverished women from education . for children like mina this means the responsibility to work in order to support her family . thus , she wanders kabul\u2019s streets selling cheap trinkets to feed her alzheimer stricken grandfather and her heroin addicted father . but mina wants to be normal so she secretly attends classes ; a decision that sets in motion a chain of events that change her life forever .\nthough afghan women are no longer prisoners in their homes after the ouster of the taliban , the country ' s destabilization after years of war has alienated impoverished women from education . for children like mina this means the responsibility to work in order to support her family . thus , she wanders kabul ' s streets selling cheap trinkets to feed her alzheimer stricken grandfather and her heroin addicted father . but mina wants to be normal so she secretly attends classes ; a decision that sets in motion a chain of events that change her life forever .\nbaraki and his team were in a kabul fortress and about to roll the cameras on a scene in which his film\u2019s strong young female protagonist , mina , is to run to a tank to deliver a package . suddenly , the approaching sound of distant mortar rounds rang out .\nfavorite tv character we miss most dr . cristina yang played by sandra oh ( grey\u2019s anatomy ) dr . lance sweets played by john francis daley ( bones ) hershel greene played by scott wilson ( the walking dead ) leslie shay played by lauren german ( chicago fire ) neal cassidy played by michael raymond -

held camera after being structured as a canada - afghanistan coproduction .\nalso supporting baraki with is debut feature was siddiq barmak , the veteran afghan director ( osama ) , who helped cast nawabi , coach her in the lead role , while acting as a go - between the young canadian director and the afghan government .\nthe kabul shoot faced more danger than just far - off shelling by the taliban .\nbaraki often had to shoot scenes from a roof - top , or an overhead office window , to avoid alerting locals suspicious of video cameras after that country\u2019s long conflict .\non occasion , locals would rain down abuse on nawabi for appearing in a movie .\n\u201cwhen we were filming in busy streets or markets and people saw me pointing a camera at her ( nawabi ) , they would yell out insults , they would throw things at her and shout she should be ashamed to play in a film , she should be at home , not on the street talking to boys , \u201d baraki recalled .\nbut baraki , whose family emigrated to canada from afghanistan , doesn\u2019t expect that country\u2019s political and religious troubles to end anytime soon .\n\u201cif i went there in a year\u2019s time , i think that things wouldn\u2019t change . i don\u2019t know that things would get worse . but people have suffered from decades of war , \u201d he said .\ntalent to watch talent fund reception -

canadian co - production , by former montrealer yosef baraki , is a bold , cinematically rich look at afghan life from the point of view of a 12 - year - old girl forced to sell trinkets on the street to support her derelict father and ill grandfather .\nand it is a rare success story for the ffm , which gave the norman mclaren award for best student film to baraki\u2019s 2013 short der kandidat . that came with a $ 5 , 000 prize , which the budding director used to purchase the canon 5d camera with which he shot this film , his feature debut .\nborn in kabul to an afghan father and slovak mother , baraki immigrated with his family , first to europe and then , in 1998 , to montreal . they lived in montreal north for five years , and it was here that the director , now 25 , had the first inkling of his professional aspirations .\n\u201ci remember the moment , when i was 12 and i told myself , \u2018this is what you\u2019re going to do . \u2019 i guess if i had to analyze it , we moved a lot from country to country , house to house . i didn\u2019t have a lot of social life . every time i met people , we moved . so i had to protect myself and invent a life of my own . movies were the answer to that . \u201d\nbaraki studied film briefly at york university , where he dropped out in his first year , and then at humber college , where he thrived with the school\u2019s more hands - on approach .\nwhen he began pondering his first feature , he looked to his homeland . he went to visit his father , who now lives in afghanistan , working in \u2026 \u201cumm , how am i going to put this ? \u201d baraki said . \u201cit\u2019s sensitive . he works with nato , let\u2019s say . \u201d\nknowing he wanted to make a film about afghan culture , the director\u2019s attention was captured by a group of kids selling things on the streets of kabul .\n\u201cthese street children have to work for their parents , or to support themselves if they\u2019re orphaned , \u201d baraki said . \u201cthey would hang around the government offices , because they know that people with money work there . as soon as someone walks by , they hound them and offer whatever they have \u2014 a scarf , a world cup statue made of plastic . \u201d\n\u201cthey were 10 or 11 , with their two older brothers , who were in their 20s . they were always there , willing to talk and help out . a lot of them appear in the final version of the film . it started when i spent time with them , looking for an \u2018in\u2019 to the culture . i had been away for so long , i needed someone to help mediate my way back into it . \u201d\nwhen he went hunting for his lead actress , he knew he had to find a protagonist with as much spunk as his research subjects . he found what he was looking for in farzana nawabi , whom he first met via skype .\nthe film also garnered baraki the lindalee tracey award for an emerging canadian filmmaker at this year\u2019s hot docs festival in toronto , although it is not a documentary and was not screened at the festival . ( the prize is open to all canadian directors . )\nbaraki admits to taking a documentary approach to film , inspired by his idols the dardenne brothers .\n\u201ci love everything they do , \u201d he said , \u201ctheir observation of the working class . i enjoy ( their portrayal of ) realness through people doing things , instead of being forced by a plot to entertain . i respond very strongly to their films . \u201d\n\u201ci knew if i wrote a full script , it wasn\u2019t going to be as good as what i found on the street , \u201d he said . \u201cevery day , we would get in the van and travel to locations . i\u2019d scout what was possible and try to be in the moment . i have such a hard time making decisions \u2014 i over - think everything . this was an experiment to force myself to make quick decisions . \u201d\nhis goal was to offer an up - close and glamour - free glimpse of afghan reality .\ncorrection : an earlier version of this story said yosef baraki\u2019s mother is czech . she is slovak . the montreal gazette regrets the error .\nstar wars bounty : boba fett fetches $ 28 , 000 as star wars fever . . .\nwe encourage all readers to share their views on our articles and blog posts . we are committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion , so we ask you to avoid personal attacks , and please keep your comments relevant and respectful . if you encounter a comment that is abusive , click the\nx\nin the upper right corner of the comment box to report spam or abuse . we are using facebook commenting .\nby clicking \u201csubmit\u201d , i consent to receiving the above communication from postmedia network inc . i understand that i may unsubscribe from these communications at any time .\nthe nominations for the 2016 emmy awards have been revealed \u2014 check out the full list of nominees who will be vying for emmys on september 18 below . \u201cgame of thrones\u201d once again led the pack with 23 nominations in total , closely followed by fx\u2019s \u201cthe people v . o . j . simpson : american crime story , \u201d which scored 22 . hbo remained the most -

dopamine is one of the chemical signals that pass information from one neuron to the next in the tiny spaces between them . when it is released from the first neuron , it floats into the space ( the synapse ) between the two neurons , and it bumps against receptors for it on the other side that then send a signal down the receiving neuron . that sounds very simple , but when you scale it up from a single pair of neurons to the vast networks in your brain , it quickly becomes complex . the effects of dopamine release depend on where it\u2019s coming from , where the receiving neurons are going and what type of neurons they are , what receptors are binding the dopamine ( there are five known types ) , and what role both the releasing and receiving neurons are playing .\nas wedding reception hosts , the parents of guatemalan grooms can do whatever they want , including smash things . when the newlyweds arrive , it ' s a tradition that the groom ' s mom break a white ceramic bell , filled with grains like rice and flour , to bring prosperity to the couple .\nthe unnatural evolution of laron landry ' s arms after his new gym selfies went viral , a look back at laron landry ' s transformation from scrawny high school qb to muscle - bound nfl ss .\n5 . now it\u2019s time to bring your toast to a head . offer a wish \u2013 be specific in your words and avoid clich\u00e9s . rather than saying \u201ci wish you joy , \u201d say something like , \u201cof all the things i could wish you tonight , i especially wish you a lifetime of joy like i saw in your eyes earlier as you said your vows . \u201d\nin lebanon , the wedding celebration , the zaffeh , gets off to a rowdy start with music , belly dancing and shouting at both the groom ' s and bride ' s homes courtesy of the couple ' s friends , family and occasionally pro dancers and musicians . eventually everyone ends up at the bride ' s house where the couple is showered with blessings and flower petals as they leave for the ceremony .\n5 shocking medical stories from 2017 here ' s a list of shocking stories from this year that shows just how far science has come and how unbelievable ( and a little gross ! ) it can be .\na toast is your gift to the couple . therefore , it is not a roast . it is not an opportunity to embarrass the couple . it is not the time to practice your audition for the comedy club . avoid cursing and off - color humor ( leave that to the bachelor / bachelorette party ) .\nhow would you like to be all dressed up in your wedding finery and have your dad spit on you ?

( photos by two rabbit )\nstory structure wise , \u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) is a solid 3 act structure movie . i can always appreciate structurally tight movies which are quite rare in korea . the problem with \u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) is not with the story structure but the fact that 3 rd act feels like a rushed rewrite for the purpose of forcing more \u201cmelodrama\u201d at the end .\nif you literally translate the original korean title of this movie , you would get \u201c age of innocence \u201d and not \u201c empire of lust \u201d . i think \u201cage of innocence\u201d may be a little better suited for this movie since this movie is such a romance \u201csoap opera\u201d .\ni will give \u201cempire of lust\u201d ( 2015 ) a \u201cc + \u201d grade which is the best i can do for a movie that is miscast and has a terrible 3 rd act .\nempire of lust\nactress , kang han - na had a photo shoot with bazaar . the pictures show kang han - na wearing a simple but elegant white dress , looking innocent and graceful . she ' s smiling slightly towards the camera and this is a contrast to her image in the movie\nempire of lust\nwhere she is seductive with a killer glance , . . .\nhis amazing acting earned him the nickname of \u2018ha kyun god\u2019 ( it\u2019s a play on words with his family name as \u2018shin\u2019 means \u2018god\u2019 in korean ) and cinema lovers and mass public are more than excited with the news of one of the nation\u2019s top star finally embodying korean history with \u2018empire of lust\u2019 .\n\u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) seems to have decided to chuck out the \u201cdrama\u201d in favor of the \u201cmelodrama\u201d . . and for the most part , this is not a bad idea . a lot of korean dramas are purely focused on \u201cmelodrama\u201d and work well .\njang hyuk is starring in the movie\nempire of lust\n. he will be co - starring with shin ha - kyun , kang han - na and kang ha - neul , . . .\ndirector ahn sang - hoon\u2019s \u201cempire of lust\u201d is indicative of this . in the movie , the \u201cblind\u201d ( 2011 ) filmmaker reproduced a deadly power struggle from the seventh year of joseon when king taejo refused to nominate his son , yi bang - won , as his successor .\nga - hee , left , played by kang han - na , entices kim min - jae , played by shin ha - kyun , in the upcoming film \u201cempire of lust . \u201d provided by the distributor\nkorean movies opening today 2015 / 03 / 05 in korea :\nempire of lust\n,\ngranny ' s got talent\n,\ndog eat dog\nand\nbarracks\n, . . .\nin \u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) , there are basically about 4 action scenes in total at best . while i could say that they are not terribly choreographed , they feel more mechanical than interesting .\n\u2018empire of lust\u2019 may be the actor\u2019s first war movie , he practiced and perfectly digested sword fighting and , with his signature dramatic yet modern interpretation of love , he will take us to a new world where hatred , ambitions and love try to survive altogether .\nhowever , \u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) does not bother much with historical accuracy . you basically just have to know that , in the early years of the joseon dynasty , the princes born from different mothers fought over the claim to the throne .\n\u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) is a historical period piece movie \u201cloosely\u201d based on the real life events of \u201c the 1st conflict between the joseon princes \u201d . i have a historical feature about this event here if you want to give it a look .\nactress roh haeng - ha has been cast for the movie\nempire of lust\n. double m entertainment claims roh haeng - ha is starring in the movie with kang ha - neul and kang han - na , . . .\nkang ha - neul ' s movie\nempire of lust\nis about the troubles of a prince amongst the debate of who will be the next prince . kang ha - neul ' s role of jin is only grandchild to jeong do - jeon and general kim min - jae ' s son . he is also the son - in - law of lee seong - gye . he only searches for his pleasures , . . .\nthe cast for \u201cempire of lust\u201d pose for a photo at a press event in apgujeong - dong , southern seoul , on tuesday . from left , shin ha - kyun , jang hyuk , kang han - na and kang ha - neul .

neul plays the misogynistic jin as a 14th century bro . by the time kim\u2019s last desperate stand arrives , it becomes a matter of how beautifully photographed the doomed lovers\u2019 demise will be , not if there will be a demise . empire of lust isn\u2019t inept , or even particularly dull , it\u2019s just familiar .\n\u2018empire of lust\u2019 depicts a story of bloody ambition during the joseon dynasty . and it\u2019s the first historical screen job of shin ha kyun . the actor debuted with \u2018the happenings\u2019 in 1998 and built an amazing filmography since then : \u2018joint security area\u2019 , \u2018sympathy for mister vengeance\u2019 , \u2018save the green planet\u2019 , \u2018welcome to dongmakgol\u2019 , \u2018thirst\u2019 , \u2018the front line\u2019 , or more recently \u2018big match\u2019 , shin played various strong characters but never gave any try to historical movies .\nformerly known as\nthe age of innocence\non hancinema synopsis the love and betrayal , loyalty and revenge , amongst the first prince ' s hardships during the confusion of the establishment of the joseon , after the fall of koryeo . source\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\na brilliant general distinguishes himself by protecting the dynasty ' s borders while keeping an eye on one of the sons of the king .\nthe kingsman\n' s reign continues unchallenged\u2026 last weekend british spy flicks\nkingsman : the secret service\nand\nthe imitiation game\nruled at as the country ' s number one and two , claiming just under a million admission between them . the later lost its footing and fell to third , but matthew vaughn ' s\nkingsman\nmanaged to retain its place as korea ' s film of choice despite the arrival of ahn sang -

monarchy conflict over who becomes heir to the joseon throne , empire of lust largely jettisons historical accuracy in favor of sumptuous production design , costumes and keenly choreographed violence . that wouldn\u2019t necessarily be a bad thing if the actors and storytelling were more compelling than they are . too much plot , a lack of focus and a disturbing reliance on sexual assault to generate momentum ( and \u201cdefine\u201d characters ) will make the film a hard sell , even within asia where the strong cast is made up of uniformly familiar faces . overseas interest will be limited but not non - existent , as the cj brand carries weight and lushly mounted martial epics with decent action and strong production values regularly generate some curiosity . still , empire \u2019s reach should be restricted to asian -

won rebellion and the death of jeong mong - joo , \u201d said ahn at a press conference on tuesday at apgujeong cgv , southern seoul .\nwatching this movie is like watching a play , not a amazing shakespeare type of play but a decent one . that involves greed , jealousy , betrayal , vengeance and lust . to be honest i would have been bored watching this in theaters , but if i saw it while flipping through the channels it would have been a alright watch . the story isn ' t very coherent and it doesn ' t flow very well when it comes to the context of the plot . it ' s basically like watching one of those historical korean dramas except with nudity and a lot of blood . it ' s just not a very stand out movie and can be easily forgotten . this would have been a television movie if it was made in the u . s . the acting was mediocre at best with performances that works for the most part but nothing groundbreaking . even jang hyuk who is a actor i actually like just chuckled all the way through it ( when you see this film you will know what i mean ) . the love and lust aspect of this movie is the main thing going on in the story but the political parts of this film just felt like it was thrown in there and made the whole thing drag on . despite it playing a somewhat pivotal part near the end , but it ' s just really boring to sit through . because there is almost nothing interesting about that banter and it ' s just doesn ' t come off as something important when it comes to the story . overall , this is a alright tv watch but that is about it . 5 / 10\nunlikely allies from different sides of the law must work together to achieve a common goal -

s tony stark . the film earned rave reviews and garnered the highest box office numbers of any film involving the actress to date .\nthe key idea of the lawsuit actually expands beyond the films , asserting : \u201cit was not until after the lai brothers\u2019 submitted their work in radix to marvel that marvel began depicting iron man wearing the [ fully - mechanized ] suits . \u201d\nbryce , 32 , appeared in spider - man 3 , 50 / 50 and terminator salvation .\nant - man and the wasp director knows he can\u2019t out - depress the endin . . .\nman of iron may not be a great film , but it is an enjoyable one that contains a lot of great , inventive fights . the drama is a little forced and the story itself could have used some work , but it\u2019s an action movie that delivers fun action so you can\u2019t complain too much . definitely check it out if you\u2019re a fan of chen kuan - tai or gangster - based kung fu tales !\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\nman of iron is set 20 years after the end of the boxer from shantung . the street and the people who populate it have moved on , and new gangs have grown to control the area . there are two major gang bosses : chang gen bao ( chu mu ) and yu zhen - ting ( yeung chi - hung ) . one day , yu chow - kai ( tin ching ) , the son of the gang boss yu , is gambling and has all of his money taken by qiu lian - huan ( chen kuan - tai ) , a man with a small gang of friends that\u2019s tired of being small time . yu\u2019s son is a man who has inherited his place in the gangster world , so he is easily bested and intimated by qiu , a man who has fought to be where he is .\nthe wait is over for jurassic park fans as director colin trevorrow has revealed the first of his star cast for the new film , jurassic world .\nin addition to proving marvel directly copied their work , there\u2019s a separate issue of whether the lai brothers filed their suit in a timely manner ( the first iron man film was released in 2008 ) . the final question is whether a mammoth company like marvel could ever be challenged by a small , independent force\u2014marvel reportedly ignored a cease and desist letter from the lai brothers ( obviously ) , which is what prompted the lawsuit in the first place .\nmovieart original film posters p . o . box 4419 austin , texas usa 78765 - 4419 512 479 6680 posters @ urltoken\npaltrow reprised her roles in the second and third iron man films , released in 2010 and 2013 , respectively , as well as in other related features from the marvel franchise , including the avengers ( 2012 ) and spider - man : homecoming ( 2017 ) . during that period , she also appeared in films like the drama country strong ( 2010 ) and the comedy mortdecai ( 2015 ) , alongside johnny depp .\nall this probably sounds like it makes for a thrilling little tale of the streets , and while it is rather entertaining , it\u2019s not all that unique or special in its own right . the boxer from shantung may have had a well - worn story that made it predictable and a bit ho - hum at times , but it is a far superior film without a doubt . what man of iron makes up for with having an original story , it loses in having an original story that\u2019s not all that engaging .\nlast month trevorrow revealed his desire to incorporate new dinosaurs into the film following reports that jurassic park world will feature underwater dinosaurs and return to the setting of spielberg ' s 1993 original in isla nublar .\nthree young martial arts students and their teacher are beaten up badly by a wandering man who proclaims himself ' ' a corrector of bad kung - fu .

it was set in the exotic locale of istanbul . the film ' s story was inspired by eric ambler ' s spy thriller about the flight of an american arms engineer ( joseph cotten ) on a black sea tramp steamer where he was threatened by nazi agents intent on killing him .\nthe film received three nominations , but no academy awards : best picture , best supporting actor ( almost 300 lb . sydney greenstreet in his talkie film debut ) , and best adapted screenplay ( by the director -

i\u2019m not sure it matters , honestly . either answer fits snugly into the movie\u2019s central metaphor about america\u2019s systemic dependence on ( and theft of ) black bodies .\n( see ' s this from a distance ) hmmm , so that ' s how it is in their family .\nhe plays hapless computer salesman jack who has a week of disasters , when his wife and kids leave him home alone . he manages to get drunk and drugged , finding himself waking up in a strange woman ' s house with nothing but womens clothes and handcuffs to hide his dignity .\nstill , the cubs ' june 5 game against the braves occurred on a wednesday and plausibly happened near the end of bueller ' s senior year , which matches with the details given in the movie . paramount has also celebrated june 5 as the definitive marker . as such , granillo ' s baseball theory remains the most airtight marker of bueller ' s day off .\n* is nacho\u2019s plan for hector\u2019s pills what leads to the stroke that we know the drug lord suffers ?

in named margaret kwan . margaret\u2019s regular delivery guy was booth\u2019s ranger buddy , mike , who sounds like he comes from the seeley booth school of withstanding torture : really good at staying quiet when he\u2019s the one in pain but really bad at watching other people suffer . since mike was more likely to give up booth\u2019s name to spare margaret than to spare himself , the killer grabbed them both , forcing mike to watch as margaret \u2014 a sweet old lady who just wanted to knit ! \u2014 was brutally tortured .\nas for the movie\u2019s lasting impact , i think that remains to be seen . i thought dave chappelle\u2019s commentary was helping tear down some of our oldest cultural walls in the early \u201900s , and look where we are now . we always assume ours is the generation that\u2019s fixing this stuff , only to sometimes find out otherwise . that\u2019s why i couldn\u2019t help wondering how complicit rose was . what did you think about the fact that ol ' girl was in on the scheme ? was she just a dutiful granddaughter helping her grandpa get over getting sonned by jesse owens back in the day ? or was she just pure milk -

inspired\ncontinental breakfast\nsketch being among our mutual favorites ) , so this has been on our radar for a while now . when jordan peele tweeted out the first trailer for get out last october , my first reaction was that i couldn ' t get over the way it refused to turn into a comedy . it took away the wink , which made its satire feel even sharper , and it seemed like it had the potential to be more incisive than most comedies about race and racism in america .\nthis prompted another to quiz : \u201cso you\u2019ve genuinely been sacked ? ! wtffff ! so you\u2019ve been sacked ? nah man ! give over ! ! \u201d before another referred to the loss of the show\u2019s stars and put : \u201cdropping like flies ffs . \u201d\ndon ' t get me wrong , being black right now has its share of issues , and it\u2019s nice to see it given a deeper dimension in a scary movie . the absurdism of horror tropes extends pretty easily to the absurdism that surrounds so much talk about race and racism : it\u2019s not a far walk from \u201cwhy is he going into the woods ? \u201d to \u201cwhy do we really have to explain why black lives matter ? \u201d we all know exactly how it ' s going to go down , but it doesn\u2019t stop us from re - enacting it time and time again . and the movie acknowledges literal historical horror for sure , mirrored in the armitage family members\u2019 weapons of choice : from seduction , to brute force , to guinea - pig experimentation , to plain old bamboozlement .\nwhich brings us to that ending . while chris was fighting his way out of the family\u2019s twisted chop - shop , whether by bocce ball or foot on the devil\u2019s neck , you turned to me and said \u201cthis isn\u2019t going to end well . \u201d and when we saw the flashing lights of the police car , just as chris was about to bid a farewell to armitages , i agreed with you . it felt like the whole theater did , honestly . the mood changed abruptly , because we all knew what would happen next : rose appealing to the cops to trust their eyes and their instincts ; the movie turning into the tragedy - mask version of the end of key & peele\u2019s \u201cnegrotown\u201d sketch . but somehow , miraculously , that wasn\u2019t to be . so , kelli , why ? why not leave us miserable ?\nhowever , for that modern touch , the women of walmington save the day , godfrey\u2019s elderly sisters , rather resembling the old dears in fawlty towers , perform some prime detective work , ringing up chanel in paris to find where rose got her flashy clothes delivered ( berlin ) . and mrs mainwaring , dreaded but never seen in the original version but here forcefully incarnated by felicity montagu ( lynn in i\u2019m alan partridge ) , leads a women\u2019s army troop , including alison steadman as mrs fox , which is far better organised than the men . when the shooting starts , they prove the decisive factor .\nbut as painful as it is to say goodbye to max keenan \u2014 bank robber , absentee father , doting grandfather , and prime booth / brennan shipper \u2014 i can\u2019t think of a better way for him to go out . after he dropped a hospital bracelet at brennan\u2019s birthday party , it seemed like we\u2019d be spending this season watching his health gradually fail him , but max isn\u2019t the type to go gently into that good night . max is more the type to get a pacemaker without telling his daughter , then , as soon as he\u2019s back in peak health , give up his own life in a blaze of badass granddad glory .\nin the movie , bueller steals a lunch reservation for noon . since the cubs game started around 1 : 25 p . m . ( cdt ) , the group at least should have had ample time to make it to the cubs ' wrigley field . but after that , bueller ' s day gets a bit busier .\nbesides , the film was stuffed with predator - vs . - prey imagery that ended up subverting expectation . the lion next to the bed ended up as nothing but a stuffed toy ; meanwhile , the deer head on the wall became the film\u2019s bloodiest weapon . interracial fear can go in either direction\u2014fear of the other exists on both sides .\npr : sure , laugh now , but the race is on to see who titles their next mixtape the sunken place vol . 1 : behold the coagula ! ( my money\u2019s on lupe fiasco . ) i think you\u2019re dead on about chris . as with any horror survivor , it\u2019s partially luck and partially character . being a photographer might have been the thing that made him so attractive to the blind art dealer , but it also made him a watcher . even in the earliest scenes , he just sat back and observed . that telephoto lens on his camera wasn\u2019t just an obvious ( and black ) phallic symbol he was poking into the armitages\u2019 world\u2014it was a penetrating gaze that helped him expose the nefarious goings - on .\nso that\u2019s plenty to be going on with \u2014 all but the first two series were in colour too , for those who care about that . there are also still available three chunky unabridged boxed cd sets of the excellent radio versions that were made in the early seventies , running to 70 - odd episodes , perfect for bath - time , in my experience .\nfor the whole platoon , from mainwaring to wilson , naive pike to spivvy joe walker , being male and therefore sex - addled , are instantly infatuated and led a merry dance , even the cameraman having a special soft - touch lens for zeta - jones , perhaps to compensate for the strange fixity of her features . i wonder if she\u2019s had vitamin b ?\nnacho business | nacho is really setting himself as the conflicted villain of better call saul , isn\u2019t he ? when krazy - 8 ( hi , krazy - 8 ! ) brings him a short stack of cash , nacho almost lets him go with a warning\u2026 until hector taunts him , \u201cwho works for who , huh ? \u201d ( nacho responds by yanking krazy - 8 around by his hair and administering a savage beating . ) then when nacho picks up a drug shipment from gus\u2019 los pollos hermanos crew , he\u2019s supposed to take five drug bundles , but he insists : \u201cdon hector gets six . \u201d victor sticks a gun in nacho\u2019s face , but gus tells his guys to let him have it , and nacho calmly walks out with the six bundles .\nthese are the sort of scrapes out reluctant hero get ' s into and it should all be pointless , totally far - fetched and silly , which it is ( winkler gets arrested and is initiated into a street gang at one point ) but nonetheless this is strangely fetching in its sublime stupidity and winkler is perfectly cast as the man who doesn ' t know what ' ll come next .\nso why ? o why ? the film \u2014 produced by damian jones , whose credits include the iron lady , the biopic about mrs thatcher , and the alan bennett shows , the history boys and the lady in the van , and directed by oliver parker , who worked on the two st trinian\u2019s films \u2014 provides no answer at all . perhaps a public enquiry is needed , although preferably not one chaired by sir john chilcot .\nkelli rubin : the second i saw the trailer i knew we ' d be in for something special ( though i also thought that about tales from the hood , and i was not at all right ) . i was somewhat worried it might pan out to be little more than a mad tv sketch\u2014\nguess who ' s coming for dinner ! \u201d\u2014but i still hoped that we ' d get some shining moments like in that winkingly kubrickian sketch .\nbut there was something else i needed from this movie . i ' ve seen my share of brutal 3 - hour slave narratives , and those films tend to send me to the sunken place : feeling mired in intractable issues , perpetually trapped on the bottom rung of society ' s ladder\u2014when , of course , reality doesn ' t feel like that . so i get a little spine tingle when the genre expectations get flipped . sometimes we need less misery , more misery .\nhe heads to the offices of tv station kwbv , where he\u2019s bought the ad space , and sets up a shoot in their parking lot : he\u2019ll make an ad for his ad space , telling local businesses he\u2019ll produce their ad for them . he realizes he can\u2019t really show his face in the ad , though , because it\u2019ll hurt his reputation as a lawyer . and his crew is hopeless at reading ad copy in front of a camera . so jimmy decides , \u201cwe\u2019ll have to karloff this thing . \u201d\n* this episode was a real stroll down breaking bad memory lane , wasn\u2019t it ? along with krazy - 8\u2019s cameo , tyrus ( gus\u2019 henchman who stepped up after the chicken man slaughtered victor ) handled the drug exchange with nacho . plus , gus went to scope out the industrial laundry that we know later becomes the front for his meth superlab , and he reported his approval of the place to\u2026 lydia ! yes , the stevia - loving corporate exec who attempted to kill mike and walter white \u2014 and got a dose of ricin in response .\nalso , throughout the movie , bueller and principal ed rooney make contradicting statements about how much time is left in the school year . bueller refers to graduation being a few months away and claims he has to graduate in june . meanwhile , the principal says he won ' t let bueller\ncoast this last month\nmeaning the school year is already almost over . as principal rooney probably has a better grasp on the school year than bueller , his statement coupled with bueller ' s claim about june seems to allow for the june 5 date .\nwhile at the game , bueller catches a foul ball , which granillo places sometime after 4 p . m . , given details from the box score . as granillo wrote in his original analysis ,\nthat leaves , at the most , one hour and forty - five minutes for their trips to the museum , sears tower , the lake , and sloane ' s house , while squeezing in two musical numbers during the parade before racing home at 5 : 55 p . m . seems a bit tough to squeeze all of that in for most normal people .\nnow that it ' s got a weekend under its belt , though , we thought we ' d wade in a little deeper . the movie didn ' t leave too many questions unresolved , but it did give viewers plenty to chew on . have we not been giving the tsa enough credit ?

clad and bewhiskered experts on mysterious and secret subjects have managed to eke out some scraps of meaning : it tells the tale of a monster and its slayer , a tale as old as or older than the telling of tales itself , a tale told even amongst our tongueless protozoan ancestors . it\u2019s the story scrawled on einstein\u2019s blackboard , the story that spurs atomic flickers , microbial battle - cries , even our sperm\u2019s frantic race to be devoured by the egg ; the same story is shrieked from pulpits , murmurs in the minds of maniacs , or whispers from the pages of sinister children\u2019s books somehow meant to comfort us in the night . it\u2019s the story that surges in our youthful muscles on summer days , but it\u2019s also the resolute rhythm of the ticking of the clock , our imminent dwindling , our forlorn forecast : hast thou slain the jabberwock ?\nso asks the poem . so too asks the show you are about to see , an attempt to adapt those ancient and esoteric stanzas for the stage . are you haunted by that same question , on odd and lonely nights , yearning for sleep ?\nin lewis carroll\u2019s through the looking - glass , and what alice found there , alice comes across a poem which makes no sense \u2013 or rather , as alice puts it : \u201csomehow it seems to fill my head with ideas\u2014only i don\u2019t exactly know what they are ! however , somebody killed something : that\u2019s clear , at any rate . \u201d\nit\u2019s mentioned again briefly later on , but it\u2019s not really important to the plot ; truth be told it\u2019s sort of hard to say what actually is important to the plot of that book , since almost everything that happens in it comes out of the blue and then goes right back there . there\u2019s no jabberwock that alice defeats to win the day or anything , and alice doesn\u2019t seem to be a character in the poem , either . apparently lewis carroll wrote it for his school newspaper many years before he even ever thought up any of the alice stuff , and maybe just stuck it in there because it pleased him , whether or not it made any sense , which is as good a reason as any to do something , really . point being : the poem really has nothing to do with alice , and in case you\u2019re worried that you need to remember what happened to her to grock this show : you don\u2019t . the poem is its own strange self - contained little universe .\nbut it does seem to have some strange resonance which has kept it skulking around in the back of our collective minds since it was first thought up . the resonance perhaps has something to do with taking the epic hero quest mode in one hand and then gobbledygook in the other and mashing them together , and that\u2019s probably what attracted us to making this show \u2013 nonsense is a variety of nihilism with a sense of humour , which is a strange philosophical disposition for children\u2019s book writing but seems to have been a sort of victorian obsession .\nanother victorian eccentricity that inspired this show was their enthusiasm for things called \u2018toy theatres\u2019 ; apparently in those days it was popular to have a miniature cardboard proscenium in your living room for entertaining guests , and publishers sold books with scripts and cut - out paper puppets and sets . we were also kind of fired up about scrolling panoramas , a wildly high - tech avant - garde theatrical contraption from the same era ( we saw a version in the whaling museum in new bedford many years ago ) , which involved a narrator turning the crank on a long unspooling canvas scroll painted with scenes from the story ( melville probably saw the same one we saw , which is hand - painted and 1300 feet long , for crying out loud ) .\nall of this adds up to a kind of proto - animation , created with great physical effort , which is of course a completely absurd way to tell a story now that actual animation has been invented . but we old trouts are attracted for some peculiar reason to the anachronistic , the primitive , the unnecessarily difficult ; because to us there is some inkling of beauty in the pointless , a glimmer of truth in nonsense , that is kind of what puppetry is all about .\n` twas brillig , and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe : all mimsy were the borogoves , and the mome raths outgrabe . \u201cbeware the jabberwock , my son ! the jaws that bite , the claws that catch ! beware the jubjub bird , and shun the frumious bandersnatch ! \u201d he took his vorpal sword in hand : long time the manxome foe he sought \u2014 so rested he by the tumtum tree , and stood awhile in thought . and , as in uffish thought he stood , the jabberwock , with eyes of flame , came whiffling through the tulgey wood , and burbled as it came ! one , two ! one , two ! and through and through the vorpal blade went snicker - snack ! he left it dead , and with its head he went galumphing back . \u201cand , has thou slain the jabberwock ? come to my arms , my beamish boy ! o frabjous day ! callooh ! callay ! \u2019 he chortled in his joy . ` twas brillig , and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe ; all mimsy were the borogoves , and the mome raths outgrabe .\na one little indian production m\u00e9tis mutt written & performed by sheldon elter in sheldon elter\u2019s hilarious and heartbreaking one - person show , we follow a young m\u00e9tis man on his journey out of a destructive cycle . in dynamic shifts between storytelling , stand - up comedy , and multi - character vignettes ; this personal tale unfolds to expose the impact of family \u2026\ni have always hoped that people will walk away from this show questioning their use of racial stereotypes in everyday conversation , in jokes , stories , etc . in this day and age , anyone can film us , record us , and take our words out of context and twist our meaning . we must all educate ourselves on language and context so that we can truly take responsibility of our own words . in truth , it is getting harder for me to continue the use of the word , \u201cindian\u201d , in my everyday language . in the context of the show it may work , but in my daily conversations it will have to change . being bullied for being an \u201cindian\u201d , or being bullied for not being \u201cindian\u201d enough , has always made me feel that i have earned the right to use that word , despite its social and political inaccuracies . i have literally fought people about this word . times have changed . we are finding clearer language to use in the proper context . i will have to change too .\nthe main thing i hope people will understand is that through my own unique , indigenous experience \u2013 despite the harsh realities of history and oppression , loss of culture and identity , dysfunctional family life as a result of intergenerational trauma , and the present day society\u2019s inherent need to define me through colonial measurements \u2013 at the very least i can take responsibility for my own actions and create positive change for myself one day at time to overcome all odds . hopefully , so can everyone else , whatever their story is .\ni have been very lucky to have had time to develop this piece over some time now . it has given me the confidence to push forward , despite the fact that some audience members may even walk away completely missing my point . if my play can at least create discussion , then hopefully through active , fractious disagreement can we all hold each other accountable , including those we choose to lead us .\nlewis and sheldon recently sat down to talk about m\u00e9tis mutt and the work sheldon has done to get to where he is .\nthanks for taking the time to chat with me , sheldon . i\u2019d like to start at the beginning . what is the origin of the play\u2019s title , m\u00e9tis mutt ? while i was in college at grant macewan and my instructor , mentor , and co - creator of metis mutt , kenneth brown , was doing a lesson on vocal masque . we were asked to think of a theme that would represent ourselves . being a young procrastinator , and a pothead , i forgot and hadn\u2019t put any thought into it . we were in class when he asked us to share our titles . i was sweating bullets and thinking hard , but had nothing . after hearing some of my classmate\u2019s titles , i started formulating something . it was my turn , and i just blurted out , \u201cmetis mutt ! \u201d everyone laughed . i secretly was relieved , and now had to figure out what that title meant .\nwhile it opened up doors and opportunities , do you feel that title limits you or has emboldened you ? i used to worry as a young , emerging artist that it would hinder me , or pigeonhole me , and that i would only ever play native roles . i am not sure why i thought that might be a bad thing , but i wanted to be able to have the opportunity to play all kinds of parts . my friend , shaun johnston , a wonderful artist and all around great guy , said he worried that he would always be type cast to play bad guys because that was all he ever seemed to be cast as . he said he got his first big break in film working with gordon pinsent , and asked him some advice about being type cast . he said mr . pinsent laughed for an uncomfortable amount of time before gathering himself to say , \u201cyoung man , you don\u2019t have to worry about being type cast . you have to worry about being cast ! \u201d beautiful advice for any budding actor .\nthis story seems like it would be difficult for you to share . why do you keep revisiting it and sharing it ? it is very difficult to share this story and every time i do it i ask myself this very question . it always takes me until my first performance in front of the audience to be reminded of why this piece of work still has value and should be told . after the show , people of all genders and ethnicities speak as if i was telling their story . each time i am reminded that if i can be brave enough to tell my truth as best i can , that the story becomes more human and relatable .\nat the same time , truth can be difficult , painful , and yet so necessary to move forward and gain the necessary knowledge to grow . you look at a lot of negative stereotypes through off - colour \u201cjokes\u201d in the play . why do you think you were encouraged to tell those jokes when starting your comedy career ? simply , because they got laughs . great laughs , in fact . sometimes , 1500 people laughing at my stuff . i was rewarded with laughter , but i was too young to fully comprehend the impact of what i was saying . this began at an early age as a class clown . i grew up in a small town where i experienced a lot of racism . i learned quickly that if i made negative , stereotypical jokes about natives , i could win over those who would likely make fun of me first . i will always carry the shame of unknowingly perpetuating these negative stereotypes of my own people .\nshame can be such a teacher and a catalyst for change . do you encounter feelings of \u201cresponsibility\u201d to the indigenous community to share this story ? i often feel immense , overwhelming responsibility to the indigenous community . i have often been called a \u201cleader , \u201d a \u201crole model , \u201d and many other titles that scared the crap out of me . here i am sharing all my dark secrets about myself onstage , and i am still being called these things ? i often feel that people expect i am not only speaking on behalf of the metis , but on behalf of all indigenous people . i can\u2019t do that . i have for too much to learn . it puts a lot of pressure on me to feel that i should have all the answers . i don\u2019t .\nwhat are the main messages you hope the community can resonate with or learn from ? i am constantly learning who i am , and slowly learning to take responsibility for my own actions . i hope my audiences know that they don\u2019t have to have all the answers right now either . i hope they are inspired to create positive change for themselves .\noften times storytelling is used as a way in which to make and inspire positive change . can you talk a bit about the importance of storytelling you had in your life and how that lead into a passion for the arts ? i had some understanding of my own cultural importance of storytelling growing up . it was how we passed down knowledge . stories carry powerful medicine through teachings . but i think at the heart of it , i just wanted to truly be remembered . i seemed to have a knack for telling stories , and it seemed the more i told them , the better the stories got , and the more people remembered them . ( because they had heard it a thousand times )\nit\u2019s easy to see this as your story , but there is a lot in it about your mother . how did that evolve as you developed the piece over the years ? i am very lucky i have my mother\u2019s blessing to tell these stories . the play in the past mainly focused on the relationship with my father . it still does , but as the play has grown and changed over the years , i started thinking about the great lengths my mother had gone through to protect me . it was my mother\u2019s bravery to finally leave my father for good , breaking a cycle of family violence . i wanted to make that clearer in the piece . she is my hero .\ni guess , in a way , storytelling can be an act of heroism and healing . pieces like metis mutt can bring up a lot of feelings and emotions in audiences . why is that an important part of healing ? i think when we see and hear others sharing their stories , it can sometimes give us the confidence to share our own . i have gotten a lot of disclosures over the years doing this play . i think it helps audience members feel brave enough to begin their own healing by first voicing what is troubling them .\nif the mature sheldon of today could talk and advise the growing teen artist sheldon , what would you give \u2013 what would you say ? or , would you say anything ? wow . umm\u2026let\u2019s see . \u201cstay away from cocaine , crack , and meth . every time you think you are giving anything your all , if you dig deeper , you\u2019ll find more . and don\u2019t just be an actor . write more , sing more , paint , draw , dance , whatever . just keep creating . if you are just an actor , you will always be waiting for someone to give you a job . \u201d i don\u2019t know if that would inspire my younger self , or if i would look at me and say , \u201cwho is this chubby , jaded old fart ? and what does he know ? \u201d\ndo you see yourself still doing this show in 10 years ? maybe . but it will be a different show , because i will be different . if it continues , it needs to grow and change as me , the artist does as well .\nhow do we measure time ? we have clocks and calendars and yet those have proven to be not as accurate or reliable as we would like them to be with our consistent realignment of our calendars throughout our history . we see the physical effects of time all around us , as we grow older with our kids growing up or losing our pets to old age . time passes in forward increments , out of an unknown future into a fading past . time reflects the pattern : now this / now this / now this / etc .\ni believe that we measure time with our relationships , first with our parents and then with our peers , then with our own kids and then with old age . i think that time evolves us as we move through life and as well our perception of time changes .\ni have more of my life in the rear view than in the forward view and as i pile up my experiences i begin to see more of the past , which i have learned from this play time is fixed and not only fixed but the past is also timeless and is etched in our memories for eternity .\nit is that thought that haunts me , how our past experiences affect our future . when we look at our past we start to see the patterns in our lives and how our relationship with our parents resonates throughout our lives .\ntime is malleable but we experience it in a forward movement and we carry it with us in each present moment : the past , the present and the future , all of them moving along with us with each step we take .\nlove . love is the force that provides the impetus for us to change .\nthe love we all experience in our lives : love of a parent , love of a child , love of pet , love of a partner , love of nature , love of science , and love of art is where we find value in our lives . and like time , love exists for us on all three planes of our past , present and future . love is the true determining force in our existence as it looks back at us from the abyss of time .\nin your opinion , what do artists and scientists have in common ? my experience working on the show with our consulting theoretical physicist named lee smolin gave me some insight into what we have in common . we both had a strong desire to creatively understand the universe .\nwhen you write characters is it difficult to not put some aspects of yourself into them ? sometimes it\u2019s easier not to than others . when i\u2019ve used interviews with , say , our canadian soldiers returning from panjwaii , afghanistan as the source material for a play , i think there is less of me in it . sometimes i write confessional work , in which \u201channah moscovitch\u201d is a character in the piece , and the point is to put all aspects of myself into the work . infinity is somewhere in between i think .\nhave you ever let your passion for your work become more important than other aspects of your life ? how do you find balance ? when my son was born , i learned about work / life balance . before his birth , work / life balance was uninteresting to me \u2013 i loved my work and wanted to work all the time . that meant i saw friends less and had no hobbies , but i loved my non - work / life balance . now that i have a son , i can\u2019t work flat out without the cost being his wellbeing . and i love him and want to be hanging out with him . so now i have work / life balance .\ndo you think canadian writers are forced into telling canadian stories ? for you , what is a canadian story ? hunh . i think canadian writers are forced into telling american stories . most of the canadian playwrights i know are tv writers living in la . in terms of a canadian story , i distinguish between sensibility and content . if i write it , it\u2019s canadian in its sensibilities i think . implicitly canadian . if there\u2019s canadian content in it as well , then it\u2019s explicitly canadian . there are also degrees of explicit . in infinity , the backdrop is canadian but not the discussion . i name canadian cities . but the themes of infinity \u2013 broken love , time , death , ambition \u2013 don\u2019t lend themselves to content about nationality for me . this is war , my project set during our war in afghanistan , lends itself to a more comprehensive discussion within the piece about \u201ccanadian - ness\u201d .\na lot of plays explore the lives of intellectuals and artists \u2013 what have you seen from those stories in the past and what did you want to do differently when exploring the lives of artists and professors in infinity ? a lot of projects about intellectuals and artists speak mostly about academics and art \u2013 the conversation is epistemological and existential . i was interested in the personal lives of my intellectual and artistic characters . i get criticized sometimes for that , for not being interested in the \u201cbig questions\u201d and focusing on sexuality , gender politics and psychology . but for me , those are the big questions .\nhow important is love in your life ? for family , friends , work and everything in between . how does that love keep your creating ? love is everything . what else is there ? ( safety ? money ? health ? i mean those things become more important than love when you don\u2019t have any or enough of them . otherwise : love . ) i do love my work , and i get to be guided in my work choices by desire rather than fear . so i\u2019m unusual and i\u2019m lucky .\nwhat do you enjoy doing with your free time ? what is your escape and how do you recharge ? i spend time with my husband and son , in our garden , in halifax . we have grapes in our garden , and mint , and tomatoes , and tulips , and also , there\u2019s a swing . ( i\u2019m making this sound amazing . it\u2019s a tiny overgrown garden . )\nso\u2026 in your opinion \u2013 is time actually a construct ? no , time is real . like death is real . you are going to die , in real time .\nnewman mentalism presents mind games by jeff newman & hannah rudd jeff newman will mess with your head . in mind games , newman will influence your thoughts , makes impossible predictions , and even read your mind while revisiting some of his favourite childhood games as they get a mentalist twist . audiences will gasp , laugh , and cheer as they \u2026\nhey ladies 2017 / 2018 hey ladies ! is not your average infotainment game / variety / talk show . what is it ? comedy , music , drinks , prizes and unexpected hijinks homemaking tips ! booze ! prizes ! and a bit of culture all in one spectacular evening . each show features local businesses , celebrities , bands , featured cocktails + more . fun for all sexes ! featuring : miss leona brausen , miss \u2026\na what it is productions presentation the aliens by annie baker original music & lyrics by michael chernus , patch darragh and eric gann two best friends in their early 30s hang out behind a vermont coffee house to play music and discuss bukowski when an impressionable young employee of the shop stumbles upon them . the \u2026"]}

style shooting at a school in a small american town . it focuses on , and is entirely focused through , eva ( tilda swinton ) , the killer\u2019s mother , and her attempts to come to terms with what her son , kevin , has done . eva is persecuted\u2014her property is covered in red paint , she is struck in the street\u2014as if she , rather than her son , was really responsible for the atrocity . eva herself somewhat shares this judgement , not least because kevin\u2019s violence does not entirely come as a shock to her . she has long suspected him to be either psychopathic or evil .\nimagine your mum and dad having sex . now imagine they both have a learning disability . immediately we\u2019re at the heart of \u201cmia\u201d , the latest production from bradford -

one day , i heard about it and so i found out more about it . i found out about it\u2019s history of being , um \u2026 it started when i first heard about communism and the idea of nations sharing the wealth . oftentimes , schools just spread this propaganda about it being a bad thing , and say you shouldn\u2019t question it and you shouldn\u2019t think about the fact that it brings money to people who need it ; you should just go along with the fact that it\u2019s inherently evil , even though it would stop the problem of having so many poor people .\nyes can understand his point of view . dad hit mum over the back of the head with a rock , or something . left her for dead . comletely unexpected .\nyou are now subscribed to the daily digest and cheat sheet . we will not share your email with anyone for any reason .\n: the film version ' s first shot / climax is of billowing curtains in a dark house with the click - click - click sound of a lawn sprinkler in the background . we hear the sprinker throughout the film whenever something really bad is about to happen , so when we reach the final flashback when eva returns home from the shooting scene and we see the same shot from the beginning of the film , with the sprinker going nuts in the background , we know that whatever she finds on the patio behind the curtains isn ' t going to be pretty .\ni don ' t think a book has ever made me teary - eyed before ! i have been known to sob while watching a movie but haven ' t actually while absorbed in a book . we need to talk about kevin was it\nimpossible to put down\nas suggested on the front cover ? no , out of the 400 pages of this book , i thought that the first 200 or so pages were extremely hard to get through because this was not an easy read for me . i did not particularly like the authors writing style , choice of words used , and all the details c\n2 . it can be really special to see each other for the first time not surrounded by hundreds of people . it ' s just the two of you ( and me hiding out as far away from you as possible with a long lens to give you some privacy ) . you ' ll get to hug , kiss , talk about what ' s about to happen which you can ' t do when the person marrying you is just inches away\nif the bride ' s reason is wanting to see his reaction as they walk down the aisle , i can assure you he ' ll be just as enamored after a first look . we are so happy we got to enjoy our pictures beforehand , and then spend the whole cocktail hour with our friends and family . it made me feel so much calmer seeing him before the ceremony . i can ' t imagine not being together for so much of the wedding day . i still felt so excited during the ceremony , but i was thinking about being in the moment rather than wanting to talk to him or say how handsome he looked ( because we already got to do that ! ) .\ncolor - blindness is not good . it is not good to be color - blind . there\u2019s been plenty written on why . psychology today calls it a form of racism . and here\u2019s a piece on everyday feminism detailing how colorblindness perpetuates injustice ( the article also acknowledges that \u201ccolor - blind\u201d as a term is ableist ) . and here\u2019s an article in the atlantic debunking the argument that focusing on race actually causes the nationalist movement we\u2019ve been seeing more of recently . and here\u2019s a thought - provoking ted talk on how we need to move from being color - blind to \u201ccolor - brave . \u201d\nrighty - oh ! we ' ve talked about how much longer everything will take on your wedding day , how much time to allow for pictures and whether or not you might want to do a first look . let ' s post some sample timelines !\n- - - immediate reaction after reading - - - i\u2019m so horrified that i feel sick , and i\u2019m nearly crying , not because of kevin but for kevin , and i don\u2019t know who to blame anymore , or what to feel , or what to think . i only know that this book is unlike anything i\u2019ve ever read , and in all likelihood , will ever read . how can i so deeply love a book that is this agonisingly ugly ? ? - - - full review - - - i knew before i started that reading this was going to be hard . we need to talk about kevin is listed as one of th\nsituations like this are sufficiently rare that we don\u2019t have an evidence base to know what to do . if you\u2019re trying to treat a sociopath , you have to back them into a corner so tightly that there\u2019s absolutely no way for them to escape except to talk to you and open up . dexter [ from the showtime series ] is a sociopath and can\u2019t relate to people , and it\u2019s only when dexter is backed into a situation of incredibly intimacy that he starts to talk to himself , or people . so you try to build a relationship , but what\u2019s the likelihood that you\u2019re going to be able to do it ? i mean , this kid is beyond treatment . society needs to be protected from him . but it was a beautiful , beautiful film !\neventually , bron is sent off with sour face tarly ( aka sam ' s dad ) to coerce farmers to give up their harvests , which is basically what sansa wanted to do in the north , let ' s call a spade a spade .\ni have to say i\u2019m glad i went into this book not knowing what to expect . the element of surprise made it much more interesting albeit disturbing . i thought the writing was very good . it made the characters sound intelligent which made it even more disturbing . it felt very relevant to the events that are happening these days at an alarming rate . and as much as it\u2019s not pleasant to talk about , it is helpful to be forced to think about this issue to try to understand and do something about it . i would like to think that there isn\u2019t a mother out there that would respond to their baby from birth the way eva did . but then there\u2019s the huge argument about nature versus nurture that really makes you contemplate what would reality be in a case similar to this one . i will not watch the movie ! !\nbefore the attack , their relationship was great .\nit was a real friendship . we would have debates about how the world works \u2013 in - depth talks about serious issues .\nhe remembers them watching a documentary together and hitting pause on the dvd throughout so that they could discuss the fine points of the programme .\nscp - 055 is nothing ,\nmarion says , now relaxing entirely .\nscp - 055 is , as described in the file , a powerful information autosuppressor . as far as experimentation has uncovered , it can only be defined in negative terms . we can only record what it isn ' t . we know it isn ' t safe or euclid . we know it isn ' t round , or square , or green or silver . we know it isn ' t stupid . and we know it isn ' t alone . but what we do know is that it ' s weak . it ' s weak because it ' s the only antimemetic agent in our possession which has a physical entry in the files . we have paper records of the thing . we have containment procedures . it ' s not safe , which means it ' s dangerous\u2026 but it ' s contained .\n: one of eva ' s various theories about the reasons for kevin ' s rampage . she notes that\ncommon sense is the nation ' s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information , education , and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century .\ni ' ve started this review 6 times now , and each time , i ' ve deleted it because it doesn ' t quite convey the right thing . i think the problem is that i ' m not sure just what that thing is . but one thing i do know is that i love books that make me feel like this . . . that\ni don ' t know what i need to say but i need to say something , to talk about this with someone because this book won ' t keep quiet in my mind\nfeeling . i guess it ' s lucky that this was chosen for our latest group read then , because i fil\nwhen i called bouhadana to talk about it , he confirmed he does this . he characterized these bits of accented english as \u201clittle fun jokes , \u201d which he likened to how the japanese chefs who work for him use an american accent while quoting drake songs . \u201cmaybe in my mind i think i\u2019m japanese , \u201d he said .\nnoodle incident : alan is very cagey about the exact circumstances of his mother ' s passing , which required a coroner ' s inquest , a closed - casket funeral and some soul - searching about what exactly she liked to get up to in her private life .\nrose indirectly mentioned garnet ' s future vision when greg said he was worried about the future and rose told him to ask garnet .\nwell , this year we are continuing this now - annual tradition . nwb , along with grantmakers for effective organizations (\nwhen garnet was about to throw the stick for amethyst to catch , the television behind amethyst is off , and in the next scene it turns back on .\ni think the issue for henry was that he had been sympathetic and had played the game of happy families to keep mum happy - she clearly couldn ' t bear to consider that the dad had consciously intended to hurt her , she seemed to be living in a cloud of denial imo and the impact of that on her kids was awful . from what i read of the guardian article about it there are 3 children - i assume the girl at dinner was the 3rd , what is she teaching her about her value as a woman ! ? it ' s ok for a dh to crush your head with an axe ! ? henry ' s question of\nif he could do it , then could i do it ?\nwas something he was struggling with because no - one would talk to him about why it might have happened .\nthe tinsel and sparkle of the faux game show credits gives way to a documentary interview featuring a real mother with a baby telling her story \u2013 before the fourth wall shatters , and the cast chat to each other about their real - life hopes and fears about parenthood .\nsorry , kiddo ,\no5 - 8 says .\nneed to know . maybe when you ' re an o5 yourself .\nhe swallows the pill . marion swallows hers too .\nit perpetuates the notion that diversity is bad for some reason : one of my colleagues of color , when told by another person that they don\u2019t see her color , said , \u201cwhy not ? is there something bad about my color ? \u201d the other person stumbled to find a response . \u201cif you don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything bad about my color , \u201d continued my colleague , \u201cthen why do you need to say you don\u2019t see it ? \u201d there\u2019s nothing yucky or bad about being of color . by denying the existence of color , you turn it from something positive into something negative . diversity is good . there are now lots of studies that show that diversity leads to stronger business performance , increased board effectiveness , higher customer satisfaction , etc . diversity and inclusion are not scary . we don\u2019t need to be afraid of them . they\u2019re actually good things . you want to see good things in the world , right ?\nbe ready for some polemic . we\u2019re bombarded with lots more numbers , always illustrated in inventive ways , and the audience is tested on what we\u2019ve learned in a surreal game show \u201cdon\u2019t drop the baby\u201d which is as hilarious as it\u2019s grotesque .\nto name just a few ) . unlike the old school wedding videographers who just stood at the back of everything with a tripod , these talented filmmakers product some of the most amazing wedding trailers ever . and they need time with you to get that footage . i ' d like to think i work really well with these film team and\nshare\nthe time we have with the couple ( at least i hope i do ! ! ! ) but it ' s worth checking with your film team to see if they need specific time with you .\nsituation comedy fresh meat objective productions , lime pictures / channel 4 mrs brown\u2019s boy\u2019s brendan o\u2019carroll , stephen mccrum , ben kellett , martin delany bbc scotland , bbc productions co - production with bocpix in association with rte / bbc one friday night dinner robert popper , steve bendelack popper pictures , big talk productions / channel 4 rev . big talk productions / bbc two\nlionel shriver ' s novels include the new york times bestseller the post - birthday world and the international bestseller we need to talk about kevin , which won the 2005 orange prize and has now sold over a million copies worldwide . earlier books include double fault , a perfectly good family , and checker and the derailleurs . her novels have been translated into twenty - five languages . her journalism has appeared in the guardian , the new york times , the wall street journal , and many other publications . she lives in london and brooklyn , new york . author photo copyright jerry bauer , courtesy of harper collins .\nthat was so sad . the boys came across as lovely and am sure the mum did her best but poor henry just desperately wanted to talk and noone would let him . what a sad repressed family .\nwe ' re sorry . you must confirm your registration within 48 hours of submitting your registration request . please register again .\ni\u2019m not really sure i agree with the weakness of kevin as a character\u2026 since everything is told from the perspective of eva , i think we\u2019re not watching so much an evil that defies explanation , but instead a mother that can\u2019t really make sense of it . we\u2019re not watching the story begin , we\u2019re watching her recollection after the fact , tainted by the incident , so now she remembers her not planing the pregnancy , her despair at the changes of her life due to motherhood and her recalling of the child she never wanted as being evil from birth\u2026 but we don\u2019t know how it all really happened , we\u2019re just watching her fight to make sense of this .\nanybody else watching ?

they were very responsive , flexible and willing to make accommodations for our bi - cultural event . and they throw a great party ! all of the guests danced and had a great time .\ndhoom events was excellent in all their contracted services ! we worked directly with the owner milin , for providing the entertainment at our mendhi party and wedding celebration . for us , the most important elements were finding a dj that would be able to contract live musician , baraat horse , and be able to cater to our mixed american / indian crowd . boy , did they deliver ! ! dhoom events provided some great entertainment ! manish was the best mc for our wedding ! he was energetic , friendly , and helpful when we were anxious and on - edge . he and his team took care of everything professionally and flawlessly . dj vinit and mc manish were fantastic in facilitating the wedding day , and the team did a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor and having a good time . dhoom events really knew how to manage our multicultural group , and it was clear that they had the expertise we were seeking . dhoom events also helped us contract ' big bob , ' the baarat horse who was a huge hit . we applaud\ni literally wanted to spice up my taste buds after staying in business district of secaucus on a 2 weeks business trip and there is no better place than dhoom . even though you dont get the authentic indian food taste , it does taste better for . . .\ni am a big fan of indian food . i just smell of those aromatic herbs & spices which makes a indian resturant exotic . great drinks to match the food . good food , good service & a good experience in all . thanks a lot dhoom ! ! !\nthere comes several schematics and adrenaline rushed chase scenes and just when the abhishek bachchan & uday chopra duo are about to capture the villains abhishek bachchan double - crosses the good guys . and now the total bad guys are 4 - thus signifying the title \u201c dhoom 4 \u201d\nafter john abraham , hrithik roshan , and aamir khan , bollywood box office king , salman khan is all set to do the villain role in the fourth film in the blockbuster series . it may be noted that villains have more mileage in the \u2018dhoom\u2019 series than heroes .\nsolid solid solid . i dont even know why i bothered researching the handful of south asian dj ' s in the tri - state area for my wedding and holud events . from the very start , dhoom was professional and remained so even after signing the contract . they took real care to study our itinerary almost minute by minute to ensure we covered all our bases . they insisted on making it the best possible event for us and we are so glad they did . days before the wedding a million things popped up and we werent able to focus as much on the little details but dhoom did this for us . on the day of , dhoom also got their hands a little dirty by helping with odds and ends that didnt even fall into their scope of responsibilites . all the niceties aside , dhoom actually delivered in a major way with music , sound , lighting and solid mc ' ing . the dance floor never stopped and mc manish was spectacular at getting the crowd going . he even found us at the end taking pics outside the venue and made sure we made it back\nyes , dhoom , directed by sanjay gadhvi , contradicts all expectations . you saunter into the cinema hall expecting the banner to change lanes [ from mushy love stories to thrillers ] , but this bike ride is as nightmarish as driving a bmw on a road full of potholes .\nthe view in china , however , was that the film\u2019s performance was underwhelming in comparison to usual china film group releases \u2014 which are backed by the government \u2014 and the performance of low budget domestic films that made more in a single day then dhoom 3 did in a week .\nthank you dhoom events ! our reception was great . our dj , milin , did a great job with introductions , entertainment and keeping the show moving ! the music and entertainment was great and pleased everyone at our indian \u2013 american event . milin was able to work well with us and all of our last minute changes . the photo booth was a great add on and the guest enjoyed it so much , it was so much fun looking through the photo binder after our event ! we would recommend dhoom events to anyone getting married or just looking to have a fun event !\nwe had dhoom events for our wedding an they did such a fantastic job ! everything from the announcements to the music on the dance floor was perfect . special shout out to the mc chirag , he did a great job keeping the crowd hyped up the whole time . highly recommend !

! !\nwe worked with milan and dj chirag for our wedding events this past november 2017 for our wedding events . music was one of the priorities for our wedding weekend and we could not have been more happy . when we first contacted dhoom , we spoke to milin who talked with us about what our musical vision was for our wedding ! he was engaging and was very knowledgeable about his field . prior to the events dhoom sent us reminder emails with different details that we needed to provide . prior to the event we spoke to our dj - dj chirag who went through our entire itinerary with us along with individual name ' s pronunciation .\nto start with , the viewer has witnessed such chor - sipahi , cat - n - mouse games time and again . however , dhoom not only takes its inspiration from several bollywood flicks , but also seems slightly similar to a few hollywood thrillers [ coincidental ? ] , namely the fast and the furious and biker boyz .\nyashraj films . the banner is a brand to reckon with today . it goes without saying that the expectations from every yashraj product are gargantuan . but after having watched dhoom , you wonder whether you ? ve entered the wrong cinema hall or perhaps , the makers weren ? t able to control this [ mis ] adventure after a point !\nresidential land available for sell . located in dhoom manikpur . available at an price of 12 lacit is a freehold property amenities : maintenance staff . located near physical college . 30 schools near the property and the property is on the main road located near physical college . 30 schools near the property and the property is on the main road .\nthe problem with dhoom is that it relies too heavily on thrills to take it forward . that explains why the bike chase , at several points in the story , is far more interesting than the story itself . in fact , all you remember at the end of the show are some expertly executed chases [ allan amin ] , not the drama .\naamir khan ' s dhoom : 3 trailer that released on october 30 is creating quite a buzz online . the video has already got 3 , 476 , 353 views in 3 days of its release . aamir , who ' d be seen in a full - fledged negative role for the first time , impresses with his bike stunts and ' scary joker ' act . ' hats ' off to him ! katrina kaif ' s acrobatics make for an interesting watch . the lady seems to have worked hard for the movie . abhishek bachchan and uday chopra also star in the yash raj movie . the third installment of the dhoom franchise has been directed by vijay krishna acharya and will hit the theatres on december 20 , 2013 .\nbest dj ! from my sweet sixteen to my wedding , we have stuck with dj milin . he is absolutely amazing and knows how to keep the party going . we had the best time having dhoom events for our wedding this past september . i can not even count the number of guests who kept asking about our dj because of how great the music was that night . highly , highly recommend ! ! !\nour night was made even more special thanks to dj vinit from dhoom . from the ceremony music to the very last song . . . i couldn ' t have asked for a more romantic and fun night . and it was all executed flawlessly ! honestly , kudos to you and your staff for making it so perfect ! it was all truly special and magical , and i hate to sound hokey , but i mean it . bringing two families from two different cultures can be difficult - - but your music provided a common ground for everyone to have fun and dance the night away . the songs were a perfect mix for exactly what i had hoped for ! i received many compliments on what a fun celebration it was , and it was thanks in part to dhoom being there . thank you again for creating such a celebratory atmosphere for me and my husband !\nmilin and dhoom events are absolutely incredible ! for anyone that wants to make sure you have a packed dancefloor - old and young , indian or not - they know how to get the job done ! i ' ve been to so many weddings were the crowd dies off at some point in the night and was amazed to say our dancefloor during our reception was packed by everyone until the last second ! so much so that my wonderful father in law wanted to extend the reception for an hour because everyone was having so much fun : ) . milin , thank you for flawless execution , wish i could relive the day ! one of the most memorable parts of the weekend was when you guys on cue started playing the joote dedho song at the perfect time when the shoes got stolen during the ceremony , will never forget it ! ! everyone needs to use dhoom !\ndhoom starts with a bang , and continues with a lot more right until the end . the tale begins in mumbai where a sophisticated gang of robbers is sweeping through the city , giving nightmares to the police department . they come like wind , sweep the place and disappear on their hi - tech bikes - the slickest and fastest riding machines on the road . jai dixit ( abhishek bachchan ) , an honest police officer is brought in on the case . soon he is on the trail of the robbers - a gang headed by kabir ( john abraham ) , an evil perfectionist with an attitude . jai ropes in the services of ali ( uday chopra ) , a happy - go - lucky garage mechanic and a prodigious bike rider . the two don ' t get along at first , but soon jai realizes that the clown can ride bikes like the wind and decides to team up with him to try and bring the robbers to justice . kabir soon catches up on jai - ali ' s teaming up and his arrogance pushes him to take up the challenge openly . from the mean streets of mumbai , the chase shifts to the sun kissed beaches of goa . and so starts the hunt . . . where sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted . dhoom reinvents the classic cops and robbers tale and brings it into the 21st century . with fast bikes , big action , non - stop fun and a thrilling story that leaves you out of breath , dhoom is a powerhouse of adventure and excitement waiting to explode . its like your favourite roller coaster ride . . . once youre on , the only thing you want to do is to go back and take that ride all over again ! come let dhoom take you to the ride of your life !\ndhoom events were great at the wedding . all our friends and family had a great time . starting from the baarath van , which was on point , to the reception . the team was responsive and also accommodated last minute changes and requsest . over all well organized , only thing they can improve on is mixing the songs showing off some crazy djing skills : ) anyway all in all the event was successful and we including our guest had a ball .\ng from the baraat to the reception . my brother had a powerpoint he made to go along with his speech . he had trouble with the clicker , and milin took time out to help him with the technical difficulties . mc manish called me the week of my wedding to review what i expected and go over pronunciations of names ; he was eloquent and had great crown control . the mixes were fantastic and timing of music was impeccable . he played music that managed to entice the entire crowd . a lot of our guests didn\u2019t end up eating dinner because they wanted to keep dancing . we got a photobooth from dhoom events as well , and we were very satisfied ; i\u2019ve seen photobooths that have been small with poor lighting . also , we highly recommend dhoom events to everyone . we still get compliments about how our reception was the best they\u2019d been to months after the event . we had such a blast !\nlocal hit the continent , written by blogger han han , opened on the same day and made $ 64 million in the first week . a horror movie set in beijing called the house that never dies made $ 59 million . in a competitive box office where earnings have of late been dominated by overseas imports \u2014 only last month transformers 4 became the most successful film in chinese box office history making $ 300 million \u2014 dhoom 3 \u2019s $ 2 . 65 million barely left a mark .\nthe success of 3 idiots likely prompted the china film group to bring dhoom 3 to china . the state - run company , according to reports , secured rights to screen the film in 2 , 000 screens around the country . opening on july 25 , the film has brought in $ 2 . 65 million in its first week , according to the chinese box office . producers yash raj films hailed the earnings for breaking into the chinese top ten for the week , coming in at ninth .\nmilin and chirag at dhoom events were so easy to work with ! they were very professional in the planning stages and organized all the events ( flow and times ) very well . they definitely got the party going and within 10 minutes of playing baraat music , our guests were raving about the music and dj ! milin and his team were also very accommodating and incorporated all our requests . even better , they were very reasonably priced . definitely recommend them for your wedding / reception and any other party !\ni did not have an indian wedding but dj milin and his team provided excellent music and lighting for my wedding in a warehouse loft . my husband and i created playlists for each segment of the night and he stuck with them , with some crowd - pleasing additions . he also created the logo with my name and my husband ' s name that was projected onto one of the walls throughout the reception . you can ' t beat dhoom if you need both a dj and lighting specialists for your wedding .\ndhoom events did a phenomenal job at our engagement party , wedding and reception ! we were impressed with milin from when we first met him . he was very professional , and prompt in responding to our emails which is critical when trying to plan a wedding . he was very helpful throughout the entire process and always gave us his honest opinion . we were planning our wedding from connecticut and were having it in long island , but even with the distance , milin was always able to accommodate our crazy schedules . the day of our event was perfect , milin , mc manish , chirag and the entire dhoom team were absolutely amazing and i cannot thank them enough for how seamlessly our day went . our reception was very organized and mc manish did an excellent job not only mcing , but also coordinating all the details that i may have missed with our venue . milin and his team kept the music going all night and kept everyone on the dance floor . with all the stress of planning a wedding , milin and his team too\nconsidering that he had already lifted turkish superstar tarkan in dhoom , this is a dead give - away ! the prelude is the same , while the parts with ' dooba dooba . . . ' are again lifted straight off the ' kuzu kuzu ' part in the original . but , strangely enough , the main tune which goes , ' dil samandar ' does not seem to be a direct lift ! but just one listen to the complete samples below ( don ' t stop mid way ! ! ) would easily prove the inspiration !\nour experience with dhoom events was absolutely stellar . music is incredibly important to us so finding the right dj was paramount in putting together our perfect wedding . luckily we came across milin and his company . milin was incredibly professional and responsive from the outset . he never came across and sales - y or pushy and seemed to genuinely care about our interests . we read excellent reviews for one of his djs ( chirag ) and requested him for our two - day event . milin made it happen . dj chirag was such a pleasure to work with . he spent time on the phone with us prior to the wedding in order to review our timeline and learn name pronunciations . he even gave us helpful suggestions along the way . chirag was incredible during the wedding weekend - he shined as both a dj and emcee . his music selection was perfect and he was able to keep everything moving with ease . most importantly , chirag was incredibly receptive and accommodating to any and all timeline changes , delays , etc . and never skipped a beat . we recommend dhoom wihtnout hesitation !\nthe film\u2019s lengthy , and unwieldy , chinese title further puzzled moviegoers , who were left wondering what the the magical car god : the magic thief\u2019s passion could possibly be about . marketing failures aside , the launch of dhoom 3 in china has served another reminder of the vast \u2014 and untapped \u2014 potential of the chinese film market for bollywood . films from india were hugely popular here in the 1970s , the only overseas films allowed back then . raj kapoor is still a household name in china , and \u2018awara hoon\u2019 still crooned by taxi drivers in beijing .\nmilin and his team for doing such a stellar job on every detail of our wedding ! the live tabla , sitar , and shinai players for both the ceremony and cocktail hour were talented , professional , and ably managed the unexpected rain ! our wedding day is a day that was memorable and magical - the best day of our lives . dhoom events added to the memory by bringing the fun and unifying all the variety of cultures , and you can never hear\nthat was the best wedding we ' ve ever attended !\nenough . reception : the manor , west orange , nj\ndhoom events did an incredible job creating our ideal wedding musical experience ! the djing was top notch for our mehndi / sangeet event ( dj vinit ) and our wedding ( dj milin ) - - both events were so different in their music and everyone loved the music and dancing ! our family and friends were on the dance floor till very end for both events . generally , very professional and courteous throughout , with excellent suggestions on how to improve our planning for the two events , and they coordinated everything without a hitch !

honestly , this was a lot of food for 2 people , but we are not complaining . we started off with the madras pepper shrimp - - a curried , garlicky shrimp that comes on a tortilla chip . if you like spice , you ' ll love this . from the main course we opted for the kakori kababs & the murgh haryali kabab . the kakori is an established favorite and scored over the green murgh ( chicken ) kabab for us . maintaining the authenticity of the scared tandoor ( flame grill ) is the specialty of dhoom and till they keep doing that , we ' ll make sure to keep going back for more . by far the best kababs in new jersey . the meal was accompanied by black daal , naan and white rice ( at no extra charge ) and the daal was a great accompaniment to the grilled delicacies . to wrap it all off , the manager vivek s , suggested kulfi falooda & we went with it . he also surprised us with complementary ras malai and it was absolutely fresh and luscious . if i had to choose though , i would opt for the kulfi , because it was so good - just like it ' s back home in bombay . happy to report that the service this time was top notch and had the personal touch . the manager was great with his suggestions and a special mention for the innovative drinks menu with many bollywood theme drinks like the sholay 75 - a flaming cockatail named after the 1975 bollywood western blockbuster sholay ( flames ! ) . we had a great time and left with plenty of leftovers ."]}

( and believe me , i have given this film more chances that it deserves . i sat through it 3 times . )\ni ' ve said this before here a while back , but mulholland dr . and inland empire are very similar films in the subject matter they tackle - specifically as you say , the space or void between the actor and their audience by using film as a medium ( or digital in the case of ie ) - but they are solid inverses of each other . mulholland dr . is about a woman trying a to escape reality by falling into a dream and inland empire is about a woman trying to break out of a nightmare to return to reality .\ninland empire ( lynch for some reason is insistent on the capitalisation of the title ) is an experience to say the least . whether you view it as one of lynch ' s best movies or an elaborate joke on the audience depends on how you view the director\u2019s work as a whole . i am unapologetic in my love of lynch and whilst i am not quite blind to his faults i am very much a fanboy . for this reason , inland empire is a work of mind - fucking brilliance .\n\u201cwe want to encourage elected officials to vote for a new incentive bill \u2013 the inland empire needs this and it is imperative that california does this . combining a strong state incentive program with the county incentive program sends a positive message to the industry . \u201d\ninland empire was , i believe , done all on digital cameras ( somebody please correct me if i ' m wrong ) , the format was new to him . if he had been using celluloid his final product would have looked much , much different .\nnow also offering the new entering hollywood actor intensive 13 day residency , with a new outdoor theater being built for 2018 ( pictured above is the new construct prep fence ) , the inland empire film festival highlights explorations of regional / local film makers plus international talent employment support . every indigenous people ' s day eve , southern california artists and other regionally connected film makers gather to share their work in an intimate , informal , pressure free luxury housing complex holiday short film marketing desert retreat in rancho cucamonga , california\u2019s solamonte theaters usa\n\u201cthings changed a lot , \u201d said lynch , whose most recent narrative film was 2006\u2019s inland empire . \u201cso many films were not doing well at the box office even though they might have been great films , and the things that were doing well at the box office weren\u2019t the things that i would want to do . \u201d\nin poland , janek and smithy drive to the site of a few trailers in the woods , looking for the phantom . gordy comes out of a trailer and tells smithy that the phantom is gone . he says that he \u201ctalked , mumbled something about inland empire . \u201d\ncalifornia film & tax credit program has been renewed with even more incentives for filmmakers . check out the program on the california film commission website !\nto qualify for consideration , an mv leader who lives , works or has shot in the inland empire region of california , usa must agree to attend at least their own film block .

band mouth , which laughs like the sun and cries us a river , proves a magnificent guide .\nafter taking the lead in a new movie hollywood star nikki grace learns the script is based on an old polish film , which was abandoned after the two lead roles of the film were murdered , thinking the film is cursed nikki ' s imagination runs riot .\ndark is not evil : many interpretations of the film indicate that the creepy rabbit people and the strange women that appears at the beginning of the film are actually trying to help the lost girl . . . but being a film of david lynch , you never know .\ninland empire revolves around an actor , nikki grace ( laura dern ) , and the tumultuous journey of her performance in a film that bleeds into and out of both the film that we are seeing and the film being made . but the porous borders between story worlds do not end there : the film that is being made , on high in blue tomorrows , is itself ghosted by an earlier absent and unfinished work , 47 . in familiar lynch style , this journey sees the character unfold and fracture into various other characters and identities\u2014with dern\u2019s diverse , split characters slipping , sliding and being flung between these various interlocking stories . \u201ci thought of it as playing a broken or dismantled person , with these other people leaking out of her brain , \u201d dern said in a telephone interview . [ 7 ] and with a sizeable portion of the action taking place on / through dern\u2019s face as nikki and the character she is to play in the film - within - the - film ( susan ) and a host of other fractured characters hustle for appearance or find themselves thrown into visibility , this sense of people \u201cleaking out of her brain\u201d seems to be a particularly apt description of both dern\u2019s relation to her part and of inland empire itself .\nthe problem with trying to come up with a single interpretation for this movie is that this defies lynch\u2019s explicit intent . i\u2019ve found a couple of other explanations that seem at least as convincing as this one , linked to at the bottom of this post . but before i advance my hypothesis about inland empire \u2018s plot , let\u2019s clarify some terminology .\ninland empire situates itself on the fringes of the film industry as well as on the fringes of what we think of as cinema . running for an uncomfortably long three hours , calling for repeated viewings , and slipping over into additional scenes on lynch\u2019s website and on the dvd release ( also incorporating earlier short films by lynch that were posted on and made for his website ) , inland empire also largely bypassed the traditional theatrical exhibition route with lynch distributing the film and dvd ( at least in the us and canada ) himself . it is also the first film that lynch has shot entirely in digital video . and while lynch\u2019s decision to shift to digital is certainly significant , more interesting is the kind of camera he used . rather than turning to high - end digital video for this project , lynch used a low - resolution domestic quality camera . as amy taubin writes in her essay , \u201cthe big rupture : david lynch , richard kelly , and the new cinematic gestalt\u201d :\ninland empire\npresents itself as a hollywood movie ( and a movie about hollywood ) in the guise of an avant - garde mega - meta art movie . when people say\ninland empire\nis lynch ' s\nsunset boulevard ,\nlynch ' s\npersona ,\nor lynch ' s\n8 1 / 2 ,\nthey ' re quite right , but it also explicitly invokes connections to stanley kubrick ' s\nthe shining ,\njean - luc godard ' s\npierrot le fou ,\nbunuel and dali ' s\nun chien andalou ,\nmaya deren ' s la - experimental\nmeshes of the afternoon\n( a lynch favorite ) , and others .\nthe apparent obscurity of a david lynch film can be pierced if you follow the ear from blue velvet . lynch goes down a tunnel darkly : the ear in blue velvet , the keyhole of the blue box in mulholland drive , the cigarette burn in the silk in inland empire . down that tunnel you ' ll find the underbelly of society , like the bugs in the undergrowth of the garden that ' s being watered in blue velvet . lynch does something differently in inland empire , he brings laura dern back thru the tunnel ( hole ) - she arrives back to affluent society as her underbelly self . the moment is quite shocking when the ' star ' with her common accent is told to ' get out ' by the man who has been her seducer ( or does she seduce herself / ) . following this clue gives an overview and an undertanding of the plot line . but inland empire is perhaps more confusing than the other two films mentioned because of the plethera of chracters , some who are not referred to elsewhere in the film , i . e . the man to whom the ' common ' laura dern confesses . perhaps some of these moments cannot be clarified but if attempted further viewings of the film would be needed and at a running time of 3 hours that ' s a daunting task . hats off to laura dern -

fated film that led to the deaths of its protagonists . of several recurring motifs , the most emphatic is an ancient gramophone player . if we indulge lynch in his use of metaphor here , infidelity is literally the same old song , going back hundreds of years , and the film is filled with crimes of passion : wives killing lovers , husbands , rivals . similarly , inland empire is riddled with holes , not in terms of plot but in imagery that echoes stab wounds and bullet holes , another visual rhyme that enables the freefalling nikki to go from one ( imagined ) place to the next .\ninland empire is lynch\u2019s true masterpiece in experimental filmmaking . lynch is so much more than just an eccentric film director , he is a true artist that brings you the gallery of his minds eye and leaves the interpretation of his art up to the viewer and allows you to see what you want to see . as with all the films and television lynch has ever written , from blue velvet to twin peaks : the return don\u2019t fight it with your traditional sensibilities just go along for the ride and you won\u2019t be disappointed .\n\u201cthings changed a lot , \u201d lynch tells the sydney morning -

- another first for him . he still won ' t say what it ' s about .\nif it sounds like an overly intellectual exercise , though , this is more a pop - art challenge than an ordeal , an experiment in comprehension that will surprise many who think that a movie needs a clear narrative to make sense . many will hate it , and that\u2019s their prerogative , but for those intrigued by lynch\u2019s recent direction \u2014 his incredible flair for mood and dream logic \u2014 inland empire is a terrific , albeit labyrinthine , funhouse of a film , rich with the promise of mystery in all its dark , inviting doorways .\nof course , it ' s also a tour -

if lynch ' s last feature mulholland drive seemed to restore the warm consensus that surrounded him during the first series of twin peaks , inland empire has shattered it anew . ( after the recent nft screening of the film , an event you might imagine to have been filled with happy - clappy lynch devotees , there were as many sceptics as zealots . my colleague xan brooks summed up the un - wowed school of thought when he told me he thought the movie resembled\nthe work of an old genius with alzheimer ' s\n) .\ngrand prize each audience member will create their own criteria in selecting the year\u2019s ieff short film grand prize winner . annual audience ballots will select a single ieff publically screened short film that will be awarded a framed certificate at the ie holiday eve awards show . that winning film will also be offered future streaming distribution on our inland empire films channel . in addition , the grand prize winning production company will be offered a single yearly submission waiver and special consideration for its films that qualify during subsequent years of ieff participation . as well , this winning short\u2019s executive producer will later be mailed an engraved trophy commemorating the short\u2019s grand prize selection . additionally , this audience selected film will receive multiple entertainer . academy worldwide film festival submissions , where up to $ 100 . 00 in submission fees will be paid . last years winner received 9 submissions on 3 continents to 5 countries and 5 united states . the result , so far , is 2 official selections : hollywood ' s famous tcl chinese 6 theatre & a tour of schools . in identifying the grand prize winner , neither of the two leader attendees will be allowed to vote for their own film .\nthe college of architecture , visual arts and design at california baptist university invites applications for adjunct instructor in film studies .\nnext hell town screening is in charleston , sc at crimson screen horror film fest on may 16 . details at urltoken\nstars laura dern and justin theroux have both said they have no idea what the film is about . see more \u00bb\nand\ninland empire\nis very much a movie about acting , built around a towering performance by dern that is itself about giving ( and watching ) a towering performance . there ' s a moment , when dern ' s distorted , clown - like face is actually projected onto someone else ' s head , which has got to be the ultimate actor ' s nightmare :\nthis is what i do : i make big , grotesque clown - faces to parrot human behavior .\nyou ' ll want to scream ; you probably will . lynch has actively campaigned ( with a cow , on sunset boulevard ) for an academy award nomination for dern , and for very good reasons . not only is dern mind - blowingly terrific , but a nomination itself would be a meta - expansion / continuation of\ninland empire ,\nand the performance ( s ) she gives in it .\nwell you took the same comment thread and started talking about something hugely irrelevant , with frankly a very poor assessment of a film . this being film discussion i gave my own rating of the film in question and you absurdly inflated my score to an impossible one - and talked a out a ' hot mess from south america ' ? ? talk about irrelevant\nin many respects , inland empire can be seen as the latest instalment in this long - running cycle . and as with so many of its predecessors\u2014most notably s unset blvd . and what ever happened to baby jane ?

( try an image search for \u201cmugwump , \u201d or \u201c naked lunch typewriter , \u201d and you\u2019ll get the idea . )\ni am a big fan of david cronenberg , and due to the fact that barnes and noble was doing their 50 % off criterion collection sale , i picked up \u201cnaked lunch\u201d and watched last night . as a body of work , i think that cronenberg has made very good films , and i think he\u2019s a very good auteur \u2013 but as for \u201cnaked lunch\u201d , it\u2019s cronenberg\u2019s masterpiece .\nlast edited : 19 may 2006 13 : 11 : 20 \u00a9 new line cinema / cannes film festival .\n. . one of the most talented and creative writers on film working in the world today .\nwilliam s . burroughs\u2019 naked lunch is his most well - known work and a key work in the counter - culture moment . its then controversial elements make for great satire , holding up a mirror to 1950\u2019s american society . the novel\u2019s graphic sexuality , explicit violence , and the non - linear , cut - up method used makes it difficult for a film adaptation . but david croneberg smartly opted not to aim for a straight - forward adaptation of naked lunch for his 1991 film . rather , he took key themes from burroughs\u2019 novel and incorporates them with important aspects of burroughs\u2019 life , namely the development of naked lunch and his motivations for becoming a writer . in this regard , naked lunch is an excellent take on this hard to film novel . the cast is game for the weirdness cronenberg is aiming for , and his experience on his previous films ( especially scanners , videodrome , and the fly ) helps in developing the surrealistic atmosphere burroughs achieved in the novel . fans of burroughs\u2019 work will appreciate the elements from burroughs\u2019 life and will surely appreciate cronenberg\u2019s audacity and enthusiasm in taking on this great novel .\nthe first of many startling reveals in naked lunch , the 1991 david cronenberg film , occurs five seconds into the opening title sequence . an orchestra has just struck its first chords , foreboding and tremulous , when ornette coleman\u2019s alto saxophone goes skittering into action , like an errant flashlight beam across a velvet curtain .\nshore is a highly prolific film composer : in addition to his close association with cronenberg , he is known for his work on the lord of the rings movies , and on several martin scorsese epics ( including the departed and gangs of new york ) . but naked lunch represents a special convergence for him .\ni\u2019m thinking about the book both because burroughs is a character in my novel - in - progress turing & burroughs , and because i watched david cronenberg\u2019s naked lunch via netflix instant - watch last night .\ng - rated drug : the drug - fueled , hallucination - laden madness that is naked lunch ( the film , at least ) revolves around lee ' s addiction to . . . extermination powder ? granted , it was meant as an indirect adaptation of the original novel , in which heroin was the culprit .\nin 1991 naked lunch was finally committed to film by the director david cronenberg , and with burroughs\u2019 permission . cronenberg acknowledged the book\u2019s label of being \u201cunfilmable\u201d , saying that a straight forward adaptation would \u201ccost 100 million dollars and be banned in every country in the world . \u201d indeed , that\u2019s not hard to imagine .\nbest film editing ( awarded in memory of karen schmeer ) -

about the impeccable writing , the film ' s strange sense of humor ; about the metaphors , the social commentary .\nand it ' s our ticket to the best spring break of our lives !\n, bart announces . and it begins with a ticket to an r - rated movie - -\nnaked lunch\n.\nfirst published 50 years ago , william s . burroughs ' novel naked lunch is a dark , wild ride through the terror of heroin addiction and withdrawal , filled with paranoia , erotica and drug -

blending , i am convinced . whether it ' s sci - fi in blade runner , comedy in who framed roger rabbit ? , or surrealism here in naked lunch , there is just something about noir and neo - noir that make it so much the chameleon of genres , working with and for so many other types of films . for me , it worked perfectly in naked lunch .\nin fact , one could view the movie less as an adaptation of the book than as a biopic with elements of naked lunch thrown in to represent the perpetual junk haze in which burroughs spent most of his life .\nthis week lincoln center is honoring coleman , who died in 2015 , with a festival of music and film organized by his son , the drummer denardo coleman . the kickoff event , on tuesday night , is a screening of naked lunch with live orchestral accompaniment and not one but two eminent soloists , the saxophonists henry threadgill and ravi coltrane .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nas an important text in the counter - culture movement , naked lunch puts american culture under a microscope and points out flaws in a harsh , blunt way . its groundbreaking style , smart style , and infamous graphicness are part of the reasons why it became as popular as it was notorious . the draw towards adapting it for film is certainly tantalizing . burroughs himself attempted to try to adapt it into a film , but funding fell through . it would take thirty - two years after its publication before someone would have the wherewithal and vision to take on the novel and turn it into a 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 .\nthis essay by novelist , playwright , and culture critic gary indiana originally appeared in the 1992 book everything is permitted : the making of \u201cnaked lunch . \u201d burroughs\u2019s work tends to affect people like a rorschach test . it separates cultural \u2026\nothing is true ; everything is permitted . \u201d welcome to interzone , the hellish playground of william burroughs\u2019 \u2018naked lunch\u2019 . along with jack kerouac and allen ginsberg , burroughs was among the central figures of the beat generation . over a frenzied decade bridging the 1950s and \u201960s they were instrumental in reshaping america\u2019s cultural landscape , tearing up their elders\u2019 starchy doctrine and blazing the trail for the counterculture that followed . as dynamic , brilliant young things they seemingly make for ideal cinematic subjects , but only one film managed to capture something of the essence of its author and the beat generation at large : david cronenberg\u2019s naked lunch .\nwith the release of cronenberg\u2019s naked lunch , burroughs distanced himself somewhat from previous attempts to film the \u201cunfilmable . \u201d he said that \u201cthe late brion gysin and antony balch , set out to adapt it for film , \u201d failing to mention his own input . also , gysin\u2019s screenplay had been \u201clong on burlesque . . . a series of music - hall comedy songs that he composed . \u201d he appeared content with the result of a twenty year pursuit for a silver - screen version of his literary classic .\nstory : with little in the way of coherent narrative , naked lunch takes the form of disconnected episodes describing the activities of bizarrely imagined figures - junkies , agents ,\nfaggots\n- who inhabit interzone , a fantastical urban melting pot . certain characters recur - bill lee , dr benway , the mugwumps - in convoluted , often gruesomely obscene scenarios . the author described naked lunch as\na matter of catharsis , where i say the most horrible things i can think of\n.\nby 1991 , burroughs had been involved in a few films , mainly as cameos . his most significant role prior to his involvement in naked lunch was a role as tom the junkie priest in gus van sant\u2019s drugstore cowboy . as well , none of his works had really been adapted for the screen , mainly because they were thought to be unfilmable . but david cronenberg , an admirer of burroughs\u2019 , decided to take on the herculean task of adapting his most famous work naked lunch . having already directed films such as scanners , videodrome , the fly , and dead ringers , cronenberg had made a name for himself as a director with an eye for the strange and surreal , and a master of \u201cvenereal horror . \u201d with burroughs\u2019 blessing , cronenberg set out to film what is more an adaptation of burroughs\u2019 life and novels than it is an adaptation of naked lunch .\nhow book and film compare : burroughs ' s book is merely the starting point for cronenberg ' s film , which operates more as a profile of burroughs ' s perverse imagination . the real life shooting of joan is the film ' s opening scene ( though cronenberg shifts its location to new york ) and merges burroughs ' s character with interzone agent bill lee and another briefly glimpsed figure , the exterminator .\n* foreign film :\ndouble life of veronique .\nrunners -

now - legendary story of burroughs\u2019s life\u2014the shooting of his wife , the expatriate years in tangier , typing the pages of naked lunch high in his tangier room , jack kerouac and allen ginsberg helping him assemble the manuscript . all of this material is outlined in burroughs\u2019s letters , and in the reminiscences of his beat friends\u2014the transreal oeuvre is blended together to produce the transreal film .\nfilm - makers : david cronenberg ( b1943 ) emerged in the mid - 1970s with a string of perverse low - budget horror films , in which disease and mutation figured strongly . he made the switch to the mainstream with the stephen king adaptation the dead zone ( 1983 ) . his subsequent hit , the fly ( 1986 ) , gave him the clout to make the supposedly unfilmable naked lunch .\nso bill and joan perform their\nwilliam tell act ,\njust as mr . burroughs and his wife , joan vollmer burroughs , did on one drunken evening in mexico city in 1951 . as bill shoots and kills joan , the film makes one of its many allusions to the real events of mr . burroughs ' s life . soon afterward , he either physically or psychically flees new york for interzone , a tangier - like exotic setting in which the film ' s nightmarishness escalates to new levels ( although\nnaked lunch\nis so thoroughly hallucinatory that it ' s difficult to know exactly where its characters are , literally or figuratively ) . in interzone , the suffering gets worse and the bugs get bigger as bill attempts to write what will be\nnaked lunch ,\nthe novel .\n\u201dthe title means exactly what the words say : naked lunch - - a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of the fork . \u201d the book title was suggested by jack kerouac . if not for the intervention of william s . burroughs friends , naked lunch would have never seen the light of day . peter orlovsky , allen ginsberg , and jack kerouac decided to visit burroughs in tangiers and see if they could salvage any of the fragmented writing that had been dripping from the mind of burroughs while he was nurs\ni sort of resisted the idea of being a writer . . . . but jack [ kerouac ] definitely did encourage me . and he said that i would write a novel called . . . ' naked lunch . ' that ' s his title , kerouac .\nfavourite because it staunches the guff about the tortured imagination that fills the rest of the movie . for cronenberg ' s naked lunch , it soon transpires , is yet another film about the interior life of the writer to join steven soderbergh ' s forthcoming kafka and the coen brothers ' s barton fink . in placing him in a dilapidated hotel it links arms with both the latter and kubrick ' s the shining .\ncoleman is more than a featured soloist in howard shore\u2019s original score for naked lunch : his quizzical , bracing cry also provides something like a point of view in the film , which was adapted from the landmark novel by william s . burroughs . the chiming polytonality of the music shows an affinity with coleman\u2019s language , and he takes to the orchestrations as naturally as he does to the odd interlude with his trio .\nso cronenberg , with burroughs ' blessing , avoided literal adaptation , fashioning , instead , a story about a heroin - addicted writer named william lee ( a name burroughs frequently uses for a fictitious alter ego ) who accidentally shoots his wife to death and expatriates himself to tangier , where he fights through his many demons to write a book called\nnaked lunch .\naspects of burroughs ' own life , including the accidental murder of his wife joan , are mixed together with pieces from\nnaked lunch\nand burroughs ' other novels .\nburroughs ' ' naked lunch , ' still fresh at 50 once the center of an obscenity trial , william s . burroughs ' novel is a dark , wild ride through the terror of heroin addiction and withdrawal , filled with paranoia , erotica and drug - fueled hallucinations .\nburroughs described the novel as\na frozen moment when everyone sees what is at the end of every fork .\npoet anne waldman says that at the time it was published , naked lunch offered a stark contrast to the prevailing vision of reality during the eisenhower years :\nthe single disc included in this set contains the same special features as criterion\u2019s previous dvd release . but these are an outstanding set of features , a treat for burroughs and beats fans as well as cronenberg aficionados . the \u201cmaking of\u201d feature includes interviews and readings by burroughs . the disc also includes burroughs reading selected passages from naked lunch ( especially the segments dealing with the film\u2019s philosophical themes of social discipline and punishment ) .\nnote : this year ' s awards are dedicated to the memory of robin dougherty , a former boston phoenix film critic who passed away this summer .\nanyway , they seems to be good releases , and an oportunity for all film score fans discover the music that howard shore has composed for cronenberg .\nmore than a film about hallucinations , is a film that hallucinates , incorporating in its filmic matter the forms of unreality , that , by a magic trick - in a film that uses the studio like the two versions of\nthe thief of bagdad\n- is transmuted into a hyperrealism of the senses . writing is an act that follows the sacrifice and mingles with the loss , while shooting is the figurative fulfillment of this\npetite morte\n.\nnaked lunch represents that most unfilmable of all unfilmable projects . salinger may have been right that the catcher in the rye could not be captured on celluloid . he probably meant by this that the book conveys a level of angst and yearning that likely couldn\u2019t be matched on screen .\ni sort of resisted the idea of being a writer ,\nhe said .\nbut jack [ kerouac ] definitely did encourage me . and he said that i would write a novel called . . . naked lunch . that ' s his title , kerouac .\nit ' s not the woman with her kelvinator refrigerator , opening the door to show you how crisp the lettuce stays ,\nsays waldman .\nit ' s the ' naked lunch ' . . . where you see reality clearly , you see the lettuce decomposing .\nwilliam burroughs\u2019s novel naked lunch has been rattling literary cages since it was published at the end of the repressive fifties . though nothing in david cronenberg\u2019s free - form , $ 15 million film is as jolting as the poetically eroticized violence of the book , there\u2019s plenty to scare off the uninitiated , including a giant centipede that rapes and devours a gay boy in a bird cage . a crash course in the pertinent works of burroughs ( exterminator ! , junky , queer ) and cronenberg ( the brood , scanners , the fly ) couldn\u2019t hurt , but the film stands on its own metaphors .\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\nthis film is built around paranoia and mystery , it\u2019s very incoherent with its flow and intention and the film is the perfect metaphor about the writing process . as lee dives further into the underground world of drugs and being a secret agent cronenberg builds the paranoia which at times feel sort of polanski - esq .\nthe group ' s best screenplay award went to\nnaked lunch ,\ndavid cronenberg ' s freewheeling adaptation of william s . burroughs ' s novel , a film that will not open until next week . the cinematography prize went to roger deakins for his work on\nbarton fink ,\njoel and ethan coen ' s droll , nightmarish look at hollywood in the 1940 ' s . judy davis was named best supporting actress for a total of three performances in these two films . she plays two different women in the hallucinatory\nnaked lunch .\nsamuel l . jackson was voted best supporting actor for his performance as a drug addict in spike lee ' s\njungle fever .\n' europa , europa ' a winner\nnaked lunch is a symphony of smut ; a fever - dream of filth ; a hallucination ; a work of art . this is not a novel that charts an easy course . it is wild , erratic , crude to the extreme , and largely incomprehensible but for occasional moments of clarity . there is genius in these naked pages , a raw and fractured genius , the voice of the depraved and drug - addled , mainlined , unfiltered , directly into the vein . this lunch is opulent , sumptuous , but excessive , tainted , vomit - inducing . burroughs ' s masterpi\nthat aspect of burroughs is celebrated at feature length in \u201cnaked lunch , \u201d the new david cronenberg film in which peter weller gives a performance as evocative as it is depressing , as a fictional character obviously meant to be taken as the author . the film opens with \u201c william lee \u201d making one of his periodic attempts to go straight . he has kicked drugs , he claims , and is gainfully employed as an insect exterminator . but his wife ( judy davis ) is addicted to the bug powder , and so is bill , to such an extent that millions of cockroaches owe him their lives .\nbut the key to the film\u2019s longevity is the union at its rotten core : cronenberg and burroughs . they share a flair for the grotesque , met with perfect nonchalance and bone - dry wit . in naked lunch , cronenberg invites the audience to dine in hell . the intense imagery of his body - horror \u2013 nightmares of flesh and metal , lust and infection \u2013 finds an equal in burroughs\u2019 prose . but crucially cronenberg\u2019s adaptation is a fusion of the two artists\u2019 minds , as if they crossed in the fly\u2019s telepods . keeping the title was key , though . as burroughs put it , \u201cthe title means exactly what the words say : naked lunch , a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork . \u201d\nspecial commendation to george mansour - the\nrepo man award\nto the film booker for the nickelodeon cinema , for repossessing repo man from consignment to television .\nruritania : in the brief bit of it we see in the film , annexia ' s border guards are wearing little fur hats and speak in russian accents .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nthe criterion release of david cronenberg\u2019s naked lunch offers the closest to this experience we are likely to ever get . burroughs\u2019 himself says in the disc\u2019s \u201cmaking of\u201d feature that he never expected more than a fraction of the book to make it into the film . in fact , this is something other than a filming of a book , an adaptation . in fact , it\u2019s not really an adaptation at all . it\u2019s a collaborative project , something entirely new .\n) , ' and now they try to swallow ` naked lunch . ' this movie was , from what i heard , a highly surreal trip into the mind of a junkie - - or something like that . certainly , it ' s not as much fun as the title suggests .\nbut it\u2019s a least possible to imagine holden caulfield slumming around manhattan . how do you picture the flumes of bodily excrescence that explode in naked lunch , its alien interrogators and masters of control hovering over bodies in pain and pleasure , the inward ecstasies and torment of bodies on a perpetual high ?\nthis book is beautiful in a sick - grotesque - wild - hilarious - creative - mind - bending - outlandish - drug - filled - dirty - brave kind of way . if i could use one word to describe it , it would be \u201cbizarre\u201d ; although \u201chilarious\u201d and \u201cimportant\u201d could work , too . in naked lunch you are taken into the mind of william s . burroughs - - a twisted , drug addicted man , who also happens to be genius . when considering its content , it\u2019s no wonder naked lunch was banned and railed against when it was first released ; it\u2019s also\npart of cronenberg ' s successful strategy is looking beyond the single book at the whole of burroughs ' work and also his biography . he drapes the entire film in literary fabric , with the reference to kafka in regards to the narcotic high the film ' s characters get from bug powder dust being a fairly telling allusion . the plot of the movie is kafakesque with interwoven lines of paranoia , labyrinthine bureaucracies , and the self - replicating puzzle that the film ' s hero finds himself in .\nthe flaw of the 5 - star rating system is in trying figure out whether you should award stars based on how much you liked a book , or based on how\ngood\nyou think a book is . these two criteria are often distinct from each other , and naked lunch , at least for me , is a perfect example of this . i think that naked lunch is a brilliant book , an that burroughs is one of our century ' s great literary geniuses . so , that makes it a five star book . but did i enjoy reading it ? sometimes very much , sometimes n\nfound this file i started on my computer june 9 , 2007 : hypertext reading of naked lunch reading naked lunch as it was intended : open the book at any page and just read what is there . keeping track of pages read , so that there is no duplication and each page is given its consideration . am a bit anal about these things , so i ' m not going to cut in the middle of a chapter . . . going to read nearest chapter from where i pry open the book . the book is never meant to end , because it ' s an immortal junky ' s ni\nthese elements , plus a lot of attention to the addictive powers of the black meat of the giant brazilian centipede , insure that mr . cronenberg ' s version of\nnaked lunch\nis no more suitable to the fainthearted than mr . burroughs ' s was . and the film , while very different from the book , is every bit as impenetrable in its own way . by the time it reaches a repellent fever pitch , with one character literally tearing its body open to reveal someone of a different sex inside ( a simple yet extravagantly weird evocation of the author ' s thoughts on sexual identity ) ,\nnaked lunch\nhas become too stomach - turning and gone too far over the top to regain its initial aplomb . yet for the most part this is a coolly riveting film and even a darkly entertaining one , at least for audiences with steel nerves , a predisposition toward mr . burroughs and a willingness to meet mr . cronenberg halfway .\n: burroughs always said that he would never have become a writer if not for joan ' s death . this is portrayed in the film . . . sort of .\nno celebrities were harmed : lee is an obvious stand - in for burroughs himself . the film also includes two characters who are pretty clearly jack kerouac and allen ginsberg .\nnaked lunch is a symphony of smut ; a fever - dream of filth ; a hallucination ; a work of art . this is not a novel that charts an easy course . it is wild , erratic , crude to the extreme , and largely incomprehensible but for occasional moments of clarity . there is genius in these naked pages , a raw and fractured genius , the voice of the depraved and drug - addled , mainlined , unfiltered , directly into the vein . this lunch is opulent , sumptuous , but excessive , tainted , vomit - inducing . burroughs ' s masterpiece is certainly an experience , though not a pleasant one .\nstay until you finish the book , but then come back to us ,\nbill ' s friends say about his sojourn in interzone . but if the terror so slyly and sickeningly rendered in\nnaked lunch\nis representative , it ' s a miracle that artists ever survive the creative process to come home .\nbut then this is true to the spirit of burroughs , whose naked lunch was first published in paris in 1959 , and sparked an american obscenity trial several years later . a hallucinogenic novel steeped in drug addiction , exaggerated violence and sexual depravity , it inhabits a kind of post - beatnik paranoia , sharp and curdled .\nnaked lunch ,\nadapted by the dauntless david cronenberg from william s . burroughs ' s 1959 landmark novel , represents a remarkable meeting of the minds . it ' s hard to imagine another film maker who could delve so deeply into the monstrousness of mr . burroughs ' s vision , in the end coming up with a bona fide monster movie of his own . yet while mr . cronenberg ' s ingenious approach to his material matches mr . burroughs ' s flair for the grotesque , it also shares the author ' s perfect nonchalance and his ice - cold wit . seldom has a film maker offered his audience a more debonair invitation to go to hell .\nin 1962 , grove press issued a promotional booklet to accompany the november 20 , 1962 american publication of ' naked lunch , ' a scarce and desirable piece of ephemera . publisher barney rosset printed the prospectus with an obscenity trial in mind , with the entire document reading like a legal argument to establish ' naked lunch ' s ' literary merit before a courtroom . the pamphlet opens with a short essay by terry southern , followed by a critical piece by e . s . seldon . the remainder of the pamphlet contains an eight page selection from the novel . a terrific piece of ephemera that is rarely offered together with the novel , and one that is essential to understanding the early publication history of ' naked lunch , ' the establishment of the book ' s critical reception , and the novel ' s many court battles over the years . to the best of our knowledge , the two essays contained within have not been printed in any other format . a superior copy of this beat generation cornerstone , and basis for the bizarre 1991 david cronenberg film starring peter weller , judy davis , and ian holm . maynard & miles a2 . b .\ndocuments still exist in the archive of terry wilson \u2013 a friend of burroughs , gysin and balch \u2013 that let us see what the three men had in mind for filming the \u201cunfilmable\u201d project . through letters , screenplays and storyboards it is possible to examine the vision they had in attempting to bring naked lunch to the screen .\ni personally favor the interpretation that the pages that the william lee of the movie writes on his typewriter are the pages of the real - world book naked lunch . just as burroughs was lost in a state of drug - induced hallucination , paranoia and guilt when writing the book , so is the william lee of the movie .\nthat shocking reality caused a furor when excerpts were published in the university of chicago ' s literary magazine in 1958 . a paris pornographer took note and published naked lunch in france the following year . then in 1962 , grove press issued the first american edition . a year later , a boston bookstore owner was arrested for selling it .\ncritical reception to burroughs has been varied . herbert gold , in an early assessment of naked lunch , wrote \u201cmany will be disgusted , snobs will says it\u2019s a masterpiece , but they miss the relevance to our times . \u201d 2 this concisely sums up many of the problems associated with the critical reception and studies of naked lunch since \u2014 and even before \u2014 its publication , and also points towards the aims of this study : to establish the relevance of naked lunch . early objections focused on the obscenities , and the graphic sexual descriptions within the book , and the publication of the book in america prompted an obscenity trial in 1965 . 3 one of the most famous hostile responses to naked lunch was the review which appeared in the times literary supplement in 1983 . entitled \u201cugh\u2026\u201d it captured the disgust with which many greeted the work , and the reluctance to look beyond this initial first impression with impeded its reception . some have attacked it because they find the character of william burroughs himself difficult to come to terms with : being addicted to heroin for most of his life , never conforming to any normal codes of sexual conduct and the fact that he shot his common law wife perhaps make it difficult for many to consider him as a social philosopher . he is seen as representative of decadence , and therefore not an appropriate character to criticise western society .\ni found this post through io9\u2013and i was thinking , it must be st . williams burroughs week . or month . i\u2019ve found myself obsessing over naked lunch ( and other burroughs material\u2013like \u2018the job\u2019 ) , over the past few weeks and specifically how cronenberg deftly handles burroughs material . i\u2019ve streamed the film several times in the past fortnight and it is standout science fiction . so is the rest of burroughs life\u2013his tussles with scientology , cut - up methodologies , obsession with reich / orgone\u2026 what other genre could this life be ?\nnaked lunch was due to be shot in tangiers until the gulf war made it impossible so they recreated interzone on a canadian film set . as cronenberg rationalised , ' interzone , is , of course , a state of mind ' and exteriors never made good metaphorical stand - ins for that anyway . the cool aquamarine of bill lee ' s hotel room is a typical cronenberg interior . these are invariably lit like an operating theatre or an aquarium ( crimes of the future even had a soundtrack of dolphins and water ) ."]}

bing , springtime in a small town moves like a hou film though it\u2019s never as penetrating as goodbye south goodbye or good men , good women . the film\u2019s landscapes evoke the demystifying horrors of the war ; indeed , the river ride the four main characters make through the countryside must count as one of the most subversive scenes of the year . tian emphasizes the isolation of these characters by confining color to liyan\u2019s backyard . it is there that the sickly young man seemingly draws his breath from a weakened mother nature . the film exudes a sense of fleetingness ; however static these lives may be , tian\u2019s narrative perfectly evokes a changing season . zhichen says that liyan will get better yet there\u2019s an overwhelming feeling that zhichen will leave town and nothing will change for liyan and his family . at least not until next season .\nhi anne , while it\u2019s possible that the town of port st . johns itself has seen better days , the towering cliffs and unspoilt forests surrounding the town are the real attraction . for those seeking out a more rustic type of adventure , port st . johns has a lot to offer .\na living museum which offers an insight into the gold rush at the turn of the 20 th century , the entire town has been declared a national monument . as much as the town itself is interesting and quirky ( don\u2019t miss the royal hotel\u2019s church bar , which was transported from cape town to pilgrim\u2019s rest , via maputo , by sea and ox - wagon ) , the town is on mpumalanga\u2019s picturesque panorama route , which boasts some of the most majestic scenery on earth . everyone should see the view from god\u2019s window at least once in their lives .\nonce i discovered that fei mu\u2019s black - and - white film lives up to its reputation , i mentioned it casually to a local chinese film buff , who told me it was readily available at the video store he frequents in chinatown . why then are english subtitled versions so scarce ? after all , the film was a key inspiration for wong kar - wai\u2019s in the mood for love ( 2000 ) , which has been savored by non - asians across the globe . and tian zhuangzhuang\u2019s color remake of fei mu\u2019s classic , springtime in a small town ( 2002 ) , showing this week at the gene siskel film center , is no less accessible .\nclarens is far too over -

speaking world \u2013especially in hong kong and taiwan \u2014 is hardly known outside china . fei mu\u2019s 1948 spring in a small city , as it\u2019s usually called in english , is a film i doubt i ever would have seen if a chinese friend hadn\u2019t sent me a subtitled copy taken from a rare showing on sbs , australia\u2019s state -

piece with a cast of five , taking place over a few days and avoiding any overt political allusions . what ' s more , it ' s a remake of a much - loved classic film of the same title , made by veteran director fei mu in 1948 . differences between the two films are chiefly a matter of emphasis . where fei presents the story mainly from the point of view of yuwen , the wife , with her voiceover shaping the narrative , tian maintains a sympathetic equidistance ; and husband liyan ' s illness in the remake is more psychosomatic than physical . if the two films feel very different in texture , it ' s not simply the shift from monochrome to colour : unlike fei , tian shot almost entirely on location .\nprince albert lies in a picturesque fertile valley on the edge of the great karoo on the one side and the swartberg mountains on the other . the legendary showroom theatre , with its art deco architecture , attracts many well -

( 76 ) , rape ! 13th hour ( 77 ) and raping ! ( 78 ) . other genre films by hasebe : black tight killers ( 66 ) and alleycat rock series ( 70 ) .\nblack tight killers was released theatrically in japan on february 12 , 1966 . it was released in the u . s . during this era . it was released in dvd format in japan in 2005 . image entertainment released the film on dvd in the united states . this dvd has the burned - in subtitles which were part of the film ' s original u . s . release .\nmoldstat plus is fungicide , but it goes after more than just black mold . moldstat plus is bactericidal according to the\nand like i said , even though the cast and crew are making a lark of a movie , hasebe never lets it collapse under the weight of its own self - awareness . he understands that the best spoof of the campy spy film of the 1960s also has to be a very enjoyable spy film , and black tight killers doesn\u2019t forget to entertain . kobayashi , as usual , throws himself into the role\u2019s physical aspects with gusto , and he and the girls who make up the black tight squad get to have frequent fights with fists , feet , guns , bamboo bazookas , and of course more mundane weapons like killer albums and ninja chewing gum .\n) and even manages to score a date . unfortunately for him , but fortunately for the movie\u2019s plot , yorkio\u2019s deceased father happens to have hid a stash of gold from the last war , and it\u2019s just as hondo is making progress with the girl that people start coming out of the woodwork to kidnap yoriko and find the gold . one of these groups are pretty standard issue international crime syndicate types . the other group are the black tight killers \u2014 a team of female assassins in black fetish masks , high heels , and hot pants .\nhe has entrusted his operations to a tight , tiny circle of executives , a handful at most . that circle will expand , greatly .\nthe whole thing is light , frothy , and totally ridiculous . black tight killers looks like some scamp replaced the crew\u2019s cameras with kaleidoscopes \u2014 and yet , oddly , it\u2019s far less convoluted than kobayashi\u2019s 3 seconds before the explosion . that movie is kobayashi\u2019s bond movie . this one is his flint movie , with a uch firmer finger on the pulse of the emerging youth counter - culture . i was thoroughly delighted with every single aspect of the movie .\njonathan crow of allmovie notes that the influence of hasebe ' s mentor seijun suzuki can be seen in black tight killers . like suzuki , he uses the tropes of the gangster genre to create\na pop - art dreamscape\nwith\ntail fins , flawless fashion , sudden and unexpected go - go dancing , cool jazz , and freakish violence\n. hasebe ' s quirky use of gaudy color is singled out for comment in the review , which judges the film to be\nwild , decadent fun\n.\nin his survey of the pink film genre , steve fentone sums up black tight killers with ,\nchix with guns . what more do ya need ?\njasper sharp writes that the plot is not especially impressive , but of hasebe ' s visuals , he comments ,\nthere is not a single individual sequence here that fails to deliver enough great dollops of saccharine - coated eye candy to satisfy even the most jaded visual gourmand\n. he concludes ,\nthis simply magical film is a hoot from start to finish\n.\n, two of the director\u2019s off - kilter entries in his early 80s trilogy . obviously , nagatsuka was no stranger to weirdness , and he really cuts loose in black tight killers and seems to be shooting film with an insane mix of bond style suaveness , counter - culture avant gardism , and something that looks like film noir if noir had been able to drench itself in lurid colors . when nagatsuka and hasebe set themselves about creating a dream sequence , it\u2019s ironic that the result is actually less insane and surreal than the film\u2019s waking world .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star -

go dancing , flick knife wielding , leather clad femme fatals known as the black tight killers .\nthere\u2019s just one problem : the black tight killers are better getting killed than they are at killing . and so begins the movie\u2019s primary running joke , and the thing that clues the viewer in to the fact that , while hasebe isn\u2019t giving us a movie full of mugging and winking , he\u2019s definitely planting it firmly in the realm of spoof \u2014 albeit the best kind of spoof ( straight - faced , seemingly earnest , and an excellent example of the genre it is also spoofing ) . one after another , each of the go - go dancing femme fatales dies in combat , collapsing into hondo\u2019s arms as outrageously melodramatic music swells on the soundtrack .\na braider may braid tightly so that the style lasts as long as possible , which is what most of us want , especially if we ' ve saved up our hard - earned dollars to get the style . but tight tension is not good for your hair , hairline , and scalp . medium tension is best for fashioning braids ; they may not last as long as tight braids , but your hairline will last much longer .\n\u201che totally believed that women work harder and are stronger , \u201d res said . \u201che called them \u2018killers , \u2019 and that\u2019s his highest compliment . and he didn\u2019t feel like he had to compete with them because he was a man and we were women . \u201d\nthe\nblack tight killers\nare a group of go - go dancing ninja women who use 45 rpm records and bubble gum as weapons . the central character is a war photographer who meets an airline stewardess and unknowingly enters into an adventure for money smuggled into the country by her father at the close of wwii . the money is pursued by japanese yakuza , american gangsters and the title five with spirited action that very nicely reflects the colors and pop art flavor of the day . all is played with a tongue in cheek style that nicely parodies the spy adventure films of the time . enjoy the fun . supposedly also known as\ndon ' t touch me , i ' m dangerous .\nas trump\u2019s first executive , when he was first breaking away from his father to develop real estate in manhattan , sunshine would spend days bombing around the island with the boss in his black limousine , scouting properties .\nmold fogger : the easy , electric way to apply . using a fogger set on a coarse mist is the best approach to applying a mold when penetrating into tight spaces is required . we recommend the fogmaster jr - mold removal fogger\n, one of my very favorite spy movies , and one in which the powers that be are hopelessly corrupt and idiotic , causing coburn to hide out among the hippies and culminating in him , an american spy , and a soviet spy realizing how moronic the whole thing is , and just walking away and having an awesome christmas dinner together . by the time coburn is wildly , joyously playing music in a psychedelic rock band , the gulf between his hipper , more subversive type of spy movie and bond\u2019s old - fashioned squareness is vast . it\u2019s probably no coincidence that bond was being marshaled by a bunch of old british men while flint and the black tight killers who lend their name to the movie were coming from a younger , more anti - authoritarian generation .\nwhen we reviewed 3 seconds before the explosion , we stated that it was one of two nikkatsu studio espionage films released onto the home video market in the united states , both starring studio mainstay akira kobayashi . we also said that 3 seconds before the explosion , daft though it might have been , was the more conservative and conventional of the two . that\u2019s because the second espionage film , black tight killers , was constructed out of some mad fever dream by director yasuharu hasebe and production designer teruyoshi satani after they stayed up all night at a psychedelic go - go cabaret , drunk on suntory whisky and overdosing on a steady stream of pop art and spy movies . when they awoke the next morning , two things had happened . one , their clothes had vanished ; and two , they had apparently made a movie about a photojournalist who gets tangled up with a gang of black leather clad go - go girl assassins who fling razor sharp 45rpm records and are armed with ninja chewing gum , among other things .\nhas held up well over the years and looks just fine in this print acquired by the american cinematheque . the punchy colours couldn ' t look any richer , while the scope framing looks just about right . the master was the only subtitled print in existence ( there was no original english language release ) , so the subs are white and burned - in with touch and go results . besides , how else are you going to see it ? it ' s basically a sweet and silly little puffball of a movie , but black tight killers offers plenty of fun and action for spy fans , and lots of retro campiness for everybody else . the disc ( packaged with extensive liner notes by chris d . from the cinematheque ) also includes the original japanese trailer with occasional english pitch lines thrown in to make it more palatable for international viewers .\nyasuharu hasebe ' s black tight killers ( 1966 ) is a typical example of the nikkatsu aesthetic of the 60s and bears the stamp of his mentor seijun suzuki . it is a wonderfully camp james bond inspired action thriller with nikkatsu lead akira kobayashi in the lead as a vietnam war photographer who becomes involved in a kidnapping plot of his flight attendant girlfriend . there are several groups after the woman who is daughter of a man who is said to have a large cache of gold from okinawa during the war . one such group sis a band of sisters and cousins who hail from okinawa and are rightful heirs to the gold - they are ninja assassins and . . . go - go girls ! there are several scenes with them getting down at clubs . the bold colors and striking original set designs call to mind those of suzuki ' s 60s films like tokyo drifter and gate of flesh . it ' s a lot of good 60s camp fun .\nhondo first encounters the enticingly clad young women when they save him and his girl from an assault in an alley , though it turns out they only save him because they want to take him apart themselves . each of the girls has been trained in peculiar forms of ninjitsu that incorporate common items in youth culture \u2014 records , bubblegum , et cetera \u2014 as killing devices . but by far their most powerful attack is the \u201coctopus pot , \u201d though if you have to go , it might as well be by getting crushed between the lithesome thighs of an attractive japanese woman . hondo finds himself on the foot end of an ass - kicking at the hands of these girls several times before he and they discover that they need to become allies in order to accomplish their respective goals : hondo to rescue yoriko from the thugs who want to use her to find her father\u2019s gold , and the black tight killers to recover the gold and return it to its rightful owners .\nhondo ( akira kobayashi ) , is a photo - journalist who has just returned from an assignment photographing the vietnam war . he meets yoriko ( chieko matsubara ) , a stewardess on his flight home . he convinces her to accompanying him to dinner . while they are eating yoriko notices a man who has been following them and when the man approaches yoriko she flees the restaurant . hondo chases after them he finds a group of female assassins are attacking the man who had been following them . the female assassins kill the man and hondo is framed for the murder . the black tight killers are a band of okinawan go - go dancing patriots who mission is to return the stolen gold to its rightful owners . after an alibi proves his innocence he is released from jail and he begins he search for yoriko by aligning himself with the female assassins to help him rescue yoriko from the bad guys . while two rival factions are at war over stolen gold from world war ii .\nin this film kobayashi takes the lead as combat photographer daisuke hondo who , when his glamorous air stewardess girlfriend yoriko ( matsubara ) is kidnapped , follows a trail which leads to the momochi research institute , training ground to a bunch of catsuited female assassins - the black tight killers of the title . not long after a man claiming to be yoriko ' s uncle enters into the fray with tales of hidden gold stashed away during the war , and before long daisuke ' s american buddy lopez soon turns out to be not quite what he seems . it ' s a race to the finish to find the hidden booty in which hondo ' s life permanently hangs in the balance . however , whenever things look like they might get a little too rough for our clean cut young hero , there always seems to be one of these slinky ninja maidens on hand to bail him out , replete with their deadly arsenal of bubble gum to blind opponents and razor edged pop records doubling as shuriken .\nrecord label -

glo sets out of a ' 50s mgm musical . upon returning from a combat tour as a photographer in vietnam , hondo ( akira kobayashi ) goes out for a dinner date with pretty yoriko ( chieko matsubara ) only to see her abducted by a band of female killers in black tights . the assailants leave behind a dead man whose murder is pinned on hondo by the police , but fortunately a friend show up to supply him with an alibi . hondo begins to track down the missing girl and constantly runs into the black - clad assassins , who have a habit of showing up at convenient moments to either help or hinder him . are they evil pranksters , or is there some deeper conspiracy at work here ?\ndo not return to tight braiders : some braiders are notoriously hard on hair . once should be enough to tell you that this is someone who doesn ' t care about the health of your scalp . hopefully , you live in an area where you have options , but if you don ' t , you may need to rethink braid extensions as a regular hairstyle .\nit\u2019s at those moments that hasebe tips his camp hand , but again , as ridiculous as each scene is , no one ever cracks a smile or handles with anything less than the gravity due a tragic death . part of the reason hasebe handles the camp so deftly probably has to do with the fact that he apprenticed under inoue umetsugu , a man whose eye for the garish and grand conjured up some astounding camp moments that were , i think , never intended t be camp . inoue loved nothing so much as he seems to have loved a lavish nightclub scene , and he would over - indulge those with reckless glee . his best known movies \u2014 with hong kong\u2019s shaw brothers studio , ironically , rather than nikkatsu \u2014 like hong kong nocturne and hong kong rhapsody are basically thinly sketched plots that serve as an excuse for inoue to stage insane nightclub scenes and musical numbers . it\u2019s a shame the man never directed an indian film . while hasebe is a markedly different type of director than umetsugu , it\u2019s also obvious that he picked up certain aspects of the elder director\u2019s sense of style . few of hasebe\u2019s movies don\u2019t feature at least one extended nightclub sequence , and black tight killers in particular is a veritable nonstop smorgasbord of colorful weirdness .\nthe single\na bloody mess\n/\nthe meaning of life\n/\nbang shang a lang\nis not a high point for the spikes . the a side drags on for six whole minutes and is enough to put anyone to sleep . the version of\nthe meaning of life\non this single is pretty limp compared to the subsequent take with ian singing on colour in a black forest . and the last track is also unexceptional . unfortunately for me , this was the first spikes record i ever got , and it put me off to them for a long time until doug thomas finally cajoled me into giving colour in a black forest a fair listen . doug later admitted it was a mistake to keep the spikes name with this new lineup , and i\u2019m sure ian would second that .\nrock out with the superb stretch canvas high waist canvas jeans with skinny fit . inspired on the sex pistols style these heavy weight , good quality jeans are robust enough to last you . versatile alternative mens black stretch canvas jeans fit for rocking it at any event or festival . fashionable in camden or soho and anywhere else . pair these versatile and comfortable fit jeans up with our many alternative tops and accessories available online .\nuse warm water to loosen them : take a shower and let the water cascade over your hair . you may need to gently rub your scalp to loosen the braids a little . this is not the time to worry about how much money you just spent and how much time it took to style these braids , so don ' t think about that ! concern yourself with loosening up this tight style and saving your hairline . there ' s no need to rough up your hair , so simply allow the water to fall over your head and do most of the work on its own .\nbut trump will follow four consecutive presidents who took considerable pride in the depth of their understanding of policy details . president obama has joked that he knows many areas of policy better than his aides do . president george w . bush , who had an mba from harvard business school , instituted firm top - down controls and insisted on crisp , clear lines of authority . he ran tight meetings and used his vice president , richard b . cheney , as a chief operating officer . president clinton was so detail - oriented that he often engaged aides in lengthy debates that they said felt more like seminars than decision meetings .\nyou have to remember that these words were spoken in 1986 at a time when nirvana were far in the future and grunge meant little more than dirty sounding music with some fuzzy guitar work . because colour in a black forest sounds like nobody\u2019s idea of grunge today . it\u2019s filled with wonderful songs like the funky\nriver of love\n, the dramatic\nleningrad\n, and the eerie\nspy in my house\n, to name just a few . it\u2019s a record of power and depth that\u2019s as much a fresh new pleasure to hear the 50th play as the first .\ni also made an appointment for an audition as singer for black sabbath but i chickened out and never showed . the nme and other music papers were full of vacancies for pretty cool jobs in bands , but i wasn\u2019t really serious enough to bother too much and i had a return trip ticket back to aussie anyway . i saw the nomads in a dive in hammersmith and was blown away . there was about 20 people there . i thought their whole attitude and sound was great . i made a mental note to use these qualities in the spikes when i returned home in january 1985 .\ncolour in a black forest was licensed for release in england by the small indie , zinger records . it didn\u2019t make much of an impression on the empire , but about a year after the release of the album , when ian was struck by the wanderlust again and appeared in london once more , his contact with zinger head paul baylis proved handy , since he put together a new band , the uvs , with baylis playing rhythm guitar under the name llewellyn . perhaps the strangest thing about the album that eventually resulted from this is to see the credits for the drummer\u2026dave bunney , of the exploding white mice , another world class adelaide band . but what\u2019s he doing in england ? let\u2019s give ian a chance to explain .\nremove them : yes , remove any braids that are causing little bumps to pop up on your scalp . this is not normal and can lead to hair loss down the road , especially if you make a habit of wearing tight braid styles . do yourself a favor and see how your head feels when you ' re still in the stylist ' s chair . does it hurt while she ' s braiding ? that ' s the time to ask her to ease up . it ' s much easier for her to take a step back and possibly redo any braids during your appointment than it will be to call her up and ask her to redo them later . plus , let ' s face it : not all braiders are going to take kindly to second - day phone calls and they may refuse to do them over .\nbut on to the spikes masterwork . colour in a black forest was their only full length lp . it was recorded in december of 1985 with the production / engineer team of doug thomas and kim horne . says doug :\ni like the way kim works . like most engineers , he likes to fiddle around with his toys and get all the wondrous , huge sounds . i guess the main idea is to let him play with his stuff and then get on with it , say ok , kim , that\u2019s enough , now let\u2019s do it . he\u2019s very good with recording . but production\u2019s bull * * * * anyway , production\u2019s something we should never give credit for \u2018cos i think the true meaning of production is arrangement , construction of songs and additives , overseeing the whole thing . the spikes do that themselves .\nconfusing matters even further is that removed by decades from the point at which something that used to be cool stopped being cool , no one remembers that it ever stopped being cool . sean connery\u2019s james bond , for example . they\u2019re the epitome of cool again , because so few people remember how square bond and his high society beatles - bashing must have sounded in the 1960s . now , james coburn , sean connery , and dean martin are all part of the same \u201cswingin\u2019 60s\u201d spy genre , regardless of how different they and their philosophies may actually be . muddy the waters even further by adding their european counterparts to the mix . suddenly , bond is rubbing elbows not just with that counter culture freak james coburn , but also with diabolik in his black leather catsuit , tony kendall and his oozing playboy\u2026 you know , someone needs to invent a word to describe tony kendall in the\nwhilst it ' s true that , despite an ingeniously neat twist at the end , the story is nothing to write home about , there is not a single individual sequence here that fails to deliver enough great dollops of saccharine - coated eye candy to satisfy even the most jaded visual gourmand . during yoriko ' s initial abduction the screen pitches into a black void from which each of the kidnappers appears individually picked out in a different colour . car journeys take place against lurid backdrops of violent blues , reds and yellows . a nightclub scene is introduced shot from beneath a glass looking up at a trio of formation dancing babes . when the sassy golf - club swinging minx akiko falls into hondo ' s arms , a touching seduction scene is rudely interrupted by an explosion of ninja girls who drag him screaming from his house , which ( for no discernible reason other than the aesthetic ) sports a giant swinging pendulum in the living room .\nhere\u2019s ian\u2019s perspective from today ( 1997 ) :\nthe live scene was still pretty healthy in adelaide at the time and the spikes were playing quite regularly . eventually i was coaxed on stage and i did a few numbers with them . so , after that i rejoined for a while . mick and i shared the singing ( which was weird ) and we played around town for a while and did a tour to melbourne . it was over there that i decided to get out on our return to adelaide . let ' s just say mick and jim ' s taste for the evil things that go with rock ' n ' roll were not to my liking . i told doug i was quitting and i had a batch of new material i had penned overseas . i wanted james on bass , and so doug and james quit too and we formed the spikes . ( huh ? ) an easier way of doing things than kicking jim and mick out i suppose . the spikes did benefit from jim and mick ' s involvement though . we became nastier and dirtier . so roll on the full length album colour in a black forest .\nmeanwhile , on the dagoes front , the band had changed singers and released another single (\ndaunting\n/\nblood on my face\n) which didn\u2019t do well , and the dagoes split up again . ian had originally played on the recordings for this , but when the dagoes recruited a new bass player in nigel sweeting ( credited as gino earthquake ) they had him redo the bass track . in early 1982 , doug thomas recruited ian and the turk from the dagoes , and they recorded a rejected track doug had written for the dagoes called\nkill the prime minister\nunder the band name the assassins . money being tight , the single didn\u2019t actually come out until 1983 . it\u2019s an odd mix , with the guitar way loud compared to the vocals . in tim kelton\u2019s book underground in the city of churches doug thomas is quoted as saying :\ni didn\u2019t like the way he ( ian ) sang . it was ian\u2019s first studio attempt at vocals , and he really lacked confidence . we couldn\u2019t afford to spend any more time , so we just gave him two vocal shots , picked the best one , and i was never really happy with it until the remix . to me the lyrics weren\u2019t so important - the lyric that is important is the very last line and there\u2019s nothing else going on there - australia needs this man dead - that\u2019s all i had to say , that\u2019s what the song\u2019s about . kill malcom fraser - he\u2019s an arsehole .\nand along with the straight up spies and private eyes , you get those insane costumed fumetti heroes and villains . guys in stretch fabric body stockings and combat boots , stalking around with lugers and stilettos ( knives , not heels , though i wouldn\u2019t have put it past many of them ) . chaos and anarchy . anti -

buichi saitoh ) and the night mist ( yogiri no bojo , 1966 - akinori matsuo ) .\nthere ' s some teasing semi - nudity initially cropping up a in nightclub act featuring a pair of gold spray - painted dancers , and yoriko is later stripped to her smalls and coated in white paint . the bond influence is tangible throughout , but when hondo is threatened with death by suffocation from gold leaf , such stylistic borrowings become a little more clear - cut . it would be a year before the debt was repaid when bond himself arrived in japan for lewis gilbert ' s you only live twice .\nthe burned - in subtitles on the print rescued from the american cinematheque by chris d . , author of outlaw masters of japanese film , and put out on dvd by image entertainment , show that obviously yasuharu hasebe ' s insanely stylised debut did get a us release at some point , but at times they are a little difficult to read against the garish colour palate - a minor gripe , as this simply magical film is a hoot from start to finish . well worth checking out .\na secret map leads to a fortune in gold , but war photographer daisuke hondo ( akira kobayashi ) is just attempting to get his girlfriend , yoriko sawanouchi ( chieko matsubara ) , back from the thugs and gangsters who keep kidnapping her . luckily , daisuke is helped by a team of female ninjas armed with unusual weapons , such as deadly flying bubble gum and record discs that are as sharp as saw blades -

era treasure hidden on an island by yuriko ' s father .\nsquanders an incredible premise ( all - girl gang of go - go dancing ninjas ) on a kinda bland eurospy - meets - nikkatsu hybrid vehicle for akira kobayashi . the girl gang is amazing , so it ' s a shame that they all get picked off one - by - one , just for the sake of helping kobayashi save the day .\nit ' s his first movie , but even here , hasebe ' s sense of style , color and rhythm are just too good . the clear high points are the opening credits and the ultra - stylized dream sequence where chieko matsubara literally bursts through multi - colored voids while being chased by the titular gang . both sequences give suzuki a run for his money ( and may even top tokyo drifter , also from 1966 ) , and i kinda wish the whole film was like that . still - - despite my qualms , it ' s a movie about a girl gang that ' s armed with tape measure katanas and exploding golf balls . what more could you want ?\nnot quite as coherently edited or as solidly plotted as a lot of the other retro pulp - ism i ' ve been indulging in lately , but it does have a team of go - go dancers / assassins that use tape measure and vinyl records as weapons , which goes a long way . the hero of the film is basically what if james bond was a war correspondent whose only mission was constantly rescuing the same kidnapped woman , and also he lives with q .\n\u201cboom ! , boom ! . . . thats a plastic bomb . \u201d - yoriko ( chieko matsubara )\nhasebe makes full use of the nikkatsu studio in this pastel - drenched fun ride . with a barely - there plot and enough gimmicks to make gallagher jealous , this is a lighthearted and entertaining flick . hasebe ' s eye for color , subtle anti -

story of one character who rocked the world of literature , fashion , music and film . . . without ever existing . this is the unfathomable story of\njt leroy .\nthat\u2019s partly because the movie is dedicated to children orphaned by aids . ( in a 2010 annual report unicef puts the number of such south african orphans at an appalling 1 . 9 million . ) but the sense that this story doesn\u2019t end when the movie does , and that what unfolds on screen flows into the world beyond , is due to how the director oliver schmitz has approached this tricky material . mr . schmitz first attracted notice in 1987 with \u201cmapantsula , \u201d a gangster film that made the festival rounds . he went on to direct another gangster movie , a documentary and television projects , experience that seems to have served him well for \u201clife , above all , \u201d which is at the intersection of fact and fiction .\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\nwow . . it ' s a quite old movie but it ' s very beautiful ^ ^ i love its romantic story and the cast was pretty good . the film is based on a superb book : eric knight - this above all . it ' s a greatly composed philosophic - romantic story . i think if you liked the movie , you should read this book ! it ' s one of my favorite books , i simply love it ^ ^ you will be much poorer in feelings , if you don ' t read this book . . . and thank you for the quotes . . . i think the book contains some more . . and more memorable ^ ^ by the way , does anyone know where i could find it in english ? i ' ve been searching for it on the internet , but i ' ve found it nowhere . . . : (\nfield notes c amera : arca swiss 8x10 f - line camera lens : 150mm aperture : f45 . 9 exposure : 1 minute film : professional fuji astia 100f\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\ni\u2019m reluctant to label t he discovery as science fiction , even though netflix\u2019s new drama has what sounds like a classic isaac asimov premise : a scientist has found irrefutable evidence that after death , the human spirit goes somewhere ; he\u2019s just not sure where . like good science fiction , the film raises a handful of questions that could span seasons of television \u2014 can science really prove something like this ? should it ? \u2014 but the 110 - minute film largely ignores those questions in favor of melodramatic twists . for a film about science finding answers to life\u2019s big questions , the discovery is surprisingly uninterested in how and why we learn the answers .\ni\u2019m left wondering what the discovery is . is it science fiction with no interest in science ? is it a spiritual romance with a perverse misunderstanding of faith and love ? or is it a movie that wanted to be all of the above , and in the end wound up being nothing ? perhaps what\u2019s most frustrating about the discovery is that its 110 minutes can be better spent with a story that is doing similar things , just with a sense of grace and skill the film is lacking .\nthis send - up of ragtime song and dance begins in 1915 san francisco when society boy roger grant decides to pursue popular rather than serious music .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nbased on the book by allan stratton , \u201clife , above all\u201d never falls apart , although it comes close with a finale that finds virtually the entire cast implausibly knocking on chandra\u2019s doorstep . then again , chandra looks realistically surprised by the sudden onslaught of attention , to the extent that she not only transcends the movie , but saves it .\ngerman - born director oliver schmitz takes on the subject of aids in south africa without kowtowing to western images of africa in this somewhat simplistic drama . twitter\nunfortunately , most of the good stuff is early on , when the details of this post - outbreak world are more mysterious than explained : how can kids born with this mutated fungus think , feel and appear normal , when the infected adults look typically decayed and robotic ? melanie really likes miss justineau , but a teacher visit to her cell is problematic when the hunger pangs start . ( zombies in this world are given the snack - ad - friendly sobriquet\nhungries .\n)\nhow will it play ? sony pictures classics picked up the film several months ago and clearly has strong expectations for it . reviews have been decidedly mixed , but it stands a good chance of doing solid business due to the heartwarming hook , which should help with word - of - mouth . it opens this friday in new york and l . a .\nthe reason to care about \u201clife , above all\u201d doesn\u2019t stem from its bleeding - heart plot , which constitutes a mild act of poorsploitation ( the same critique leveled at \u201cslumdog millionaire\u201d and other tales that use third - world backdrops for dramatic shorthand ) . the reason to care is newcomer khomotso manyaka , who nimbly shoulders a role that places her front and center in nearly every scene .\noliver schmitz ' s life , above all sets out as a character - driven film about one of the nearly one million children orphaned by aids in south africa but its schematic structure oversimplifies the drama , despite an interesting , mostly debut cast . it seems better suited for the small screen , which could work to give the film broader television sales . life starts with a quietly emotional blow : 12 - year - old chandra ( khomotso manyaka in a promising acting debut ) has to pick out a coffin for her infant sister . chandra lives with her mother ( lerato mvelase ) and younger half - siblings , the children of an alcoholic second husband who has abandoned them . the indomitable girl drops out of school since her mother is first too depressed then too sick to care for the family .\nand maybe all of that would be fine , if this were a film about faith . lost\u2019s finale was largely panned when it aired , but at least the episode committed to resolving the core\u2019s big debate . the man of science and the man of faith reunite in a space disconnected from time , and along with the other characters , take a step into the glow of the afterlife . a show about , in part , the need of scientists to answer the questions of time and space , ends on a note that embraces the beauty and serenity of the unknowable .\nalthough loaded with dramatic consequence , \u201c life , above all \u201d is slight . set in the outskirts of johannesburg , the movie follows a young girl faced with a broken family and communal rejection . her transition from pariah to fierce young adult energizes the story with emotional resonance , but director oliver schmitz pushes that effectiveness as far as it can go \u2014 and then keeps pushing , until it becomes shrill .\ngiven that a staggering one - third of all south african women in their 20s are hiv - positive , it seems right to cast life , above all as a maternal melodrama , or even as a parable , yet schmitz , who mainly works in television , brings an unnecessarily heavy hand to his inherently incendiary material . for every turn of the dramatic screw , he brings on thunder and torrential rains . the script groans beneath a mass of symbolic winking and declamatory exposition that has the unfortunate effect of turning the villagers into credulous simpletons , ready to blow with any wind that carries them .\nthe film , set in and around a gloomy mansion - turned - research - facility , builds to harbor , will , and the audience seeing for themselves what the afterlife actually is . obviously everybody , viewers included , wants to know the answer , but the film isn\u2019t prepared to deliver one in any satisfying fashion . the afterlife exists exclusively as a means to a narrative end , a tool to progress will\u2019s personal growth .\nas the film opens , chanda ( khomotso manyaka ) visits an undertaker to examine the inexpensive coffins on display . this is a task no 12 - year - old should ever have to endure . but her mother , lillian ( lerato mvelase ) , is immobilized by grief and illness and her father by drink . the next - door neighbor , mrs . tafa ( harriet manamela ) , helps her care for two younger siblings .\nnot included in the lineup this year were any movies from the united states of america or south korea , though countries like india , germany and france were represented . read the full new york times piece here .\nher life , she said in a ted talk this year , \u201cwas framed as an epic spiritual battle between good and evil . the good was my church , and its members and the evil was everyone else . \u201d\nset during a time when homosexuality was illegal in britain , this is a powerful and heartbreaking love story between two women of the 1940 ' s . their love is pushed to the boundaries and ultimately leads to tragedy .\nstolid soaper miscasts ty as an english deserter , he exerts zero effort to seem british , and saddles joan fontaine with a lot of flag waving speeches which stop the film dead in it ' s tracks . professionally made with a good supporting cast but uninvolving .\n\u201clife , above all , \u201d a grave and quietly moving story about a south african girl of extraordinary character , does something that few painful dramas accomplish : it tells a tale of resilience without platitudes about the triumph of the human spirit or without false promises about an unclouded future . the battle fought by its 12 - year - old heroine , who struggles to save her family and best friend from prejudiced neighbors who often look like a mob , may be over when the movie comes to its stirring close , but there\u2019s no end to the fight .\nwritten and directed by asia argento ( scarlet diva , xxx , land of the dead ) and shot by eric alan edwards ( kids , my own private idaho ) the heart is deceitful above all things boasts a stunning cast including marilyn manson , peter fonda academy award\u00ae nominee , michael pitt , ( hedwig and the angry inch , last days ) , jeremy renner ( north country ) , john robinson ( elephant , lords of dogtown ) , jimmy bennett ( poseidon , polar express , daddy day care ) , and cole and dylan sprouse as jeremiah .\nthe film plays this as if it\u2019s touching , like some unholy mishmash of t he t wilight zone and chicken soup for the soul . but it\u2019s neither as intellectually fascinating as the former or emotionally soothing as the latter . its afterlife , painted as an opportunity , is actually a sisyphean hell . it\u2019s also bizarre on the top , most obvious level . will\u2019s father made the discovery that led to millions of suicides , and we\u2019re supposed to believe will\u2019s biggest regret is not saving a woman with whom he shared a short ferry ride ?\nwell , i don\u2019t agree with that . if you have an interesting director , quite often his failures will be interesting . but i have friends that are auteurists and say : \u201cthis is an auteur . he cannot have bad films . \u201d that\u2019s ridiculous .\nrather than get bogged down in philosophical conversations , the discovery focuses on the domestic toll of its scientific progress . jason segel plays will , the estranged son of dr . harbor ( robert redford ) , the man who made the scientific breakthrough . when dr . harbor\u2019s findings were made public , a global epidemic of suicides followed . feeling an acute responsibility for the millions of deaths , will returns to his father in hopes of convincing him to recant his life\u2019s work . but dr . harbor , in pursuit of knowledge above all else , intends to go forward rather than backward .\nthe film ' s ending is improbably upbeat : magic realism , in a sense . it works as a deliverance . dennis foon ' s screenplay is based on the novel chanda ' s secrets by canadian writer allan stratton . it is a parable with biblical undertones , recalling cry , the beloved country .\nchanda does what she can to care for her siblings , attend school and keep up appearances . her own good heart is demonstrated by her friendship with a schoolmate named esther ( keaobaka makanyane ) , who is forced into prostitution to earn the funds for survival . it goes unspoken between them that this could lead to aids for esther herself . the south african tragedy was that former president thabo mbeki persisted in puzzling denial about the causes and treatment of aids , so many who suffered and died of aids need not have . this contributed to a climate of ignorance and mystery surrounding the disease , which only increased its spread .\nbut time and again , lost argued with itself , not merely about the mysteries of the universe , but the tools that guide us through it . can science prove the assumptions of faith ? can faith answer questions science cannot ? are science and faith truly so different in their existential goals ? this was network tv !\nwhen lillian exiles herself from the village , chanda sets off on a hero ' s journey to find her mother , helped and hindered by representational figures who sketch the plight of all such afflicted communities , yet barely qualify as characters . a female witch doctor brandishes spells and snakes . a drunken stepfather ( aubrey poolo ) proves of little use to anyone , least of all himself . chandra ' s loyal best friend , esther ( keaobaka makanyane ) , is drafted into child prostitution , while the village gossip mrs . tafa ( harriet manamela ) , a matriarch who is pivotal to the plot , fans the flames of hostility toward chanda ' s mother .\nschmitz uses the wide - screen frame smartly , often to isolate chanda from her adversaries , occasionally to create dynamic intimacy between chanda and those she loves and wants to save . the director and his splendid cast assure that this tale about a strong little girl fighting to keep her family alive and together has both high art and a big heart , audience appeal and gut impact .\nthe fog crept in and softly blanketed the mountain tops below me , \u201camazing ! \u201d went through my mind as i prepared to still this moment ; but the light meter had died . i was literally in the dark and there was no way for me to calculate the proper exposure ! \u201cyou have to be kidding me ! \u201d , was the thought that went through my mind .\nin large part , that ' s because a crucial player is strangely missing from this scenario . from the start , the spread of hiv - aids in south africa has been a political problem to its core . like many liberal whites who supported the black struggle to end apartheid , schmitz \u2014 who made the 1988 film mapantsula , about a petty thief who is radicalized in prison \u2014 seems unwilling to point the finger at a post - apartheid government that , under former president thabo mbeki , willfully discredited anti - retroviral drugs for years while advocating wacky dietary remedies and feeding tribal superstitions about the disease . mbeki ' s successor , jacob zuma , has promised better , but as someone who admitted at his own rape trial to having sex with an hiv - positive prostitute then showering to avoid infection , he ' s hardly a role model .\nsuspicion spreads in the neighborhood that the real cause of the family ' s problems is aids , although the word itself isn ' t said aloud until well into the film . its absence forms a fearful echo chamber \u2014 reflecting south africans ' own insistence , until recent years , of denying the reality of aids . a family linked to the disease by rumor or gossip is ostracized , which is why mrs . tafa fa\u00adcilitates lillian ' s\nvisit\nto distant relatives .\nas for harriet manamela as mrs . tafa , she has a central role . this township is far from the poorest in south africa . in the terms of that neighborhood , many households are middle class ; mrs . tafa embodies authority . she is fiercely proud of her son , a star athlete . she shares the general taboos about aids , but she is a good person , kind , with sympathy that she sometimes keeps concealed .\npersonally , i think the older i get the more i look for films that are honest about life . that doesn\u2019t mean that they have to be realist films . but i don\u2019t like to feel manipulated by the filmmaker . i like a film to be emotionally honest , to be truthful in the way that it depicts life and people . as i got older i liked genre films less . genre seems to be a limitation to me . the most interesting films are those that you can\u2019t put into a genre .\nand yet will\u2019s turn is worse . when will tests the machine , we discover that the entire movie has been set in his afterlife . in fact , will has lived countless versions of this afterlife , trying again and again to repair it . his goal has been to save isla , who in another lifetime was just a stranger he briefly met on a ferry , and went on to drown herself . will has lived life after life with just the faintest sense that he must save her . and presumably every human is doing something similar .\ni don\u2019t really search , but i always welcome the discovery . one of the pleasures of being on a jury is having to watch a lot of new films . it can be very interesting . i was on a jury in istanbul a few years ago and i was asked if i wanted to be on the jury of the official competition or on that of the turkish competition . instantly i decided for the turkish one . we gave the prize to a young woman and she went on and did three feature films . all good films .\nhbo\u2019s the leftover s , which premieres its third and final season this month , and which shares one of lost \u2019s creators in damon lindelof , tells the story of humans left on earth when a small percentage of the population seems to have been raptured . it begins as a stunning mediation on grief , and spirals into a weird , funny , cosmically bizarre exploration of the unknowable . lindelof seems to have learned from lost , as leftovers isn\u2019t so caught up in narrative contortions that it chokes itself to death , nor is it concerned with scientific justification .\nselect a category actor actor in a supporting role actress actress in a supporting role art direction ( black -

like fascination with an apocalypse happening in slow motion . science in the discovery is like a deus ex machina on steroids , serving whatever purpose the plot needs it to . it gives people things to do while they reveal their personal dramas to each other . and so the work of a scientist is more like a series of fetch - quests . to test the afterlife machine , they need a body , so will and isla ( rooney mara ) steal a corpse ( and open up to one another ) . when that doesn\u2019t work , dr . harbor volunteers ( and has a difficult conversation with his son ) . then will gives it a go ( and discovers the truth about himself ) .\nbest actress winner for mrs . miniver and best actor winner for yankee doodle dandy\nart direction : albert s . d ' agostino ; interior decoration : darrell silvera , al fields\nart direction : cedric gibbons , randall duell ; interior decoration : edwin b . willis , jack moore\nart direction : jack otterson , john b . goodman ; interior decoration : russell a . gausman , edward r . robinson\nart direction : jack otterson , alexander golitzen ; interior decoration : russell a . gausman , ira s . webb\n20th century -

- evidently well - known in the uk as there is no attempt to\nintroduce\nhis character in the film - - has elements of boston blackie and the thin man and the shadow ( the interplay with his jealous fiancee is very shadow - like ) and ellery queen . he is a financially stable dabbler in detection and has a nemesis within the police force who always seeks to get him out of the way . this film should get some kind of record as the mystery begins in an outrageous manner within the first ten seconds of the film ! i couldn ' t believe it , but you have to take films like this one with a lot of willing suspension of disbelief , and if you go along for the ride , it ' s quite a bit of fun . in conclusion , a solid little mystery here , and one of tom conway ' s last starring roles . - - imdb . com\nwow what a great film . nice to see sid james in a different role besides the carry on ' s . tom conway is very smooth and such a good actor . really a great film , the scene with the driving on the road is not so good , speeded up and the camera shots are wobbly . the worst part is when tom is suppose to be driving on a uneven surface on the road , you can see the road is smooth , the camera man is just moving the camera up and down , hardly see the film . and the car tom drives , wow what a lovely car . plus its funny . well worth watching .\ni enjoyed this film when it first appeared in 1953 and was pleased when it came out on dvd . the fellow actors all seem to have appeared in many enjoyable television series and i was prompted to see if the film was available when i heard the haunting running theme played on seeburg1000 . com , tom conway was the elder brother of george sanders who seemed to end up with a lot more work than he did . it is a pity that they both died tragically before their time\ni gave it a 5 star rating for being a quality dvd . i liked this dvd for one reason it had sid james in it , but over all it was a fantastic film long forgotten that will hold you till the end . i recommend this dvd to anyone that likes sid james or loves a thriller movie .\na very good 1950s second feature , a good old murder mystery & as always in every 1950s b -

esteem esteem , when you are firm in your identity you build , you are secure , you are not intimidated , you don ' t have to keep proving you are the man of the house . your love is firm and sure\ngithae : what do you mean ? isn ' t the husband the head of the house ? if you show weakness then your wife and children will run the house into ruin . discipline your wife . instill some fear so that they know who is in charge of the home . nguruma nyumbani\nmutua : slapping a woman when dating her will most likely make her decline to marry you . they consider that to be a red flag . during dating a man gives his best game , you sooth a woman . once she is your wife there is no need for such . no need to bembeleza\nin our analyses of these conversations , we looked at how entrepreneurial potential was expressed and how the financiers referred to men and women generally . we identified words and sentences used to describe the entrepreneurs , comments on appearance and dress , and the general dynamics in the decision dialogues and rhetoric . this approach provided a base for delineating and aggregating themes , which served as a basis for identifying several common discursive routes .\nsurely miranda is poking fun at his own lack of primary sources when it came to dramatizing this moment in the hamiltons\u2019 marriage . but in embracing the enigma the song points to the larger problem of women\u2019s history : the public records are thinner , the milieu is mostly domestic , and there\u2019s more need for speculation . what was eliza really thinking ? was burning her letters the only act of personal agency she had left ?\nwhen venture capitalists ( vcs ) evaluate investment proposals , the language they use to describe the entrepreneurs who write them plays an important but often hidden role in shaping who is awarded funding and why . but it\u2019s difficult to obtain vcs\u2019 unvarnished comments , given that they are uttered behind closed doors . we were given access to government venture capital decision - making meetings in sweden and were able to observe the types of language that vcs used over a two - year period . one major thing stuck out : the language used to describe male and female entrepreneurs was radically different . and these differences have very real consequences for those seeking funding \u2014 and for society in general .\n\u201ccoming here is such a joy that it never feels like work to me , \u201d she told the studio audience . \u201cbut recently , i got this opportunity to do something i\u2019ve always dreamed of doing , which is to direct my first feature film . \u2026 it was one of the best experiences of my life . i loved directing . i loved being there every day . \u2026 i know , i think , that that was what i wanted to do with the rest of my life , that that was what i wanted to put my energy into , and i started to think about it . \u201d\nbefore discussing our research , it\u2019s worth proving a bit of context about government venture capitalists , which rank among the most significant financial sources for entrepreneurship . in the european union , government vcs allocated \u20ac3 , 621 , 000 , 000 to finance innovation and growth in small and medium - size businesses from 2007 to 2013 . worldwide , government venture capital is important for bridging significant financial gaps and supporting innovation and growth , as vcs can take risks where banks are not allowed to . when uncertainty is high regarding assessment of product and market potential , for example , the assessment of the entrepreneur\u2019s potential becomes highly central in government vcs\u2019 decision making .\n\u00a9news group newspapers limited in england no . 679215 registered office : 1 london bridge street , london , se1 9gf .\nthe sun\n,\nsun\n,\nsun online\nare registered trademarks or trade names of news group newspapers limited . this service is provided on news group newspapers ' limited ' s standard terms and conditions in accordance with our privacy & cookie policy . to inquire about a licence to reproduce material , visit our syndication site . view our online press pack . for other inquiries , contact us . to see all content on the sun , please use the site map . the sun website is regulated by the independent press standards organisation ( ipso )\nto be sure , our focus on one type of financier might limit the generalization of our analysis . but broadly , our research suggests that stereotyping through language underpins the image of a man as a true entrepreneur while undermining the image of a woman as the same . such stereotyping will inevitably influence the distribution of financing , but could also have other major consequences . because the purpose of government venture capital is to use tax money to stimulate growth and value creation for society as a whole , gender bias presents the risk that the money isn\u2019t being invested in businesses that have the highest potential . this isn\u2019t only damaging for women entrepreneurs ; it\u2019s potentially damaging for society as a whole .\nall told , we observed closed - room , face - to - face discussions leading final funding decisions for 125 venture applications . of these , 99 ( 79 % ) were from male entrepreneurs and 26 ( 21 % ) were from female entrepreneurs . the group of government venture capitalists observed included seven individuals : two women and five men . our observations amounted to a total of 36 hours of decision - making time , the recordings resulting in a total of 210 transcribed pages . once the data was coded , we translated the expressions from swedish to english . to ensure accuracy , we then back - translated the expressions within our research group and used an academic linguist for quality control in this process .\n\u201cthis industry is really starting to give women bigger opportunities to direct , \u201d she continued , beginning to cry . \u201ci\u2019m sorry , i just realized i had to let something go . it\u2019s been the hardest decision of my life because you guys are my family , you know that . i love being with you every day . \u2026 i think what you guys at home and in the audience don\u2019t see is that the reason this show works out here is because it works so beautifully when we\u2019re not on stage . our friendships are so precious to me , and the thing i\u2019m going to miss most is all the time we get to spend together when we\u2019re not on camera . but at the end of this season , i\u2019m going to leaving the show . \u201d\nkroes was just one of the many accomplished women recruited to play amazon warriors in wonder woman . from an olympic bobsledder and a heptathlete to a police officer and the former miss greece , these real -

mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell .\nbut these days time it\u2019s not an atheist , secular hate which is leading to the

that the apostle paul used the phrase , \u201cunfruitful works of darkness\u201d instead of simply \u201cdarkness . \u201d most professing christians will not fraternize with the known darkness . for example , they will avoid the obvious diabolical manifestations of satan . however , not all works of darkness are obvious .\nhowever , sometimes even those that are made of the same evil spirits

christians in the northern parts is highly lamentable . owing to what we are passing through , we christians in the north really feel a sense of rejection even from those we call our own ! some christians in other parts of the country were shocked when i told them that we have aboriginal christians who hail from maiduri , bauchi , kano , kebbi , sokoto , jigawa , gombe , adamawa , taraba , nasarawa , plateau , niger , etc . though we hail from these regions , yet we are being persecuted , killed and depopulated by our fellow kinsmen all because of our faith which is supposed to be practiced in liberty base on the constitution of nigeria . brethren , what is said in the constitution and what we are practically facing in the north are two different things entirely ! i read some peoples ' post here , and they were like quoting the bible by saying , ' ' jesus said to peter which means rock - that upon you will i build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail over it (

harmless , like other harmless symbols it can be used symbolically to represent evil . additionally , i know of at least one interfaith group that refers to the prism as a symbol of their beliefs . for those reasons and to avoid any confusion i advise christians not to use the prism as a symbol in connection with their faith . however , some professing christians display symbols used by evil religions or the occult in tattoos or on a t - shirt , sometimes mingling them with christian symbolism . it is at the least unsavory .\nnor can we exclude from this kind of superstition those who

professing christians are having fellowship with bethel music . to a discerning christian , bethel music is a conspicuous work of darkness . bethel music is the work of bethel church , a notorious cult church that produces the works of bill and beni johnson . many of the ones that rush to associate with bethel music in their concerts might never accept the bizarre shenanigans of bethel church . the alluring music has seduced them into to associating rather than exposing . further , bethel music\u2019s siren songs have the hypnotic effect of covering up one hard fact . if the spirits of

( 2 ) the inevitable controversies over the identification and authentication of a miracle are an impediment to the growth of scientific knowledge and philosophical comprehension ; and ( 3 ) an omnipotent god who does intervene in his creation would be obliged , on pain of moral defect , to intervene more often and more evenhandedly than he is supposed to have done in the christian tradition .\ncontinued robust growth in china would be beneficial for the global economy as well . china\u2019s market for u . s . exports has grown steadily from 4 % in 2004 to over 7 % in 2014 . according to an imf estimate , china contributed about one - third of the world\u2019s growth in 2013 .\nthe final hurdle passed , the sperm still does not thrust its way into the egg itself . rather , the membranes of the two cells fuse , and the egg draws the entire contents of the sperm inside .\npreview the pdf version of this entry at the friends of the sep society .\na trained lawyer , this visionary leader was singapore ' s chief architect in harnessing social cohesion despite ethnic and religious diversity ;

( hume 1748 / 2000 : 86\u201387 )\nthe unstated moral to be drawn is that both the production and the reception of miracle stories are due to a failure to understand the secondary causes lying behind phenomena , while increasing knowledge and culture leaves no room for such stories . hume ( 2000 : 90\u201391 ) also borrowed this line of reasoning .\na miracle ( from the latin mirari , to wonder ) , at a first and very rough approximation , is an event that is not explicable by natural causes alone . a reported miracle excites wonder because it appears to require , as its cause , something beyond the reach of human action and natural causes . historically , the appeal to miracles has formed one of the primary lines of argument in favor of specific forms of theism , the argument typically being that the event in question can best ( or can only ) be explained as the act of a particular deity .\na common approach is to define a miracle as an interruption of the order or course of nature . ( sherlock 1843 : 57 ) some stable background is , in fact , presupposed by the use of the term , as william adams ( 1767 : 15 ) notes :\nall attempts to draw an evidential parallel between the miracles of the new testament and the miracle stories of later ecclesiastical history are therefore dubious . there are simply more resources for explaining how the ecclesiastical stories , which were promoted to an established and favorably disposed audience , could have arisen and been believed without there being any truth to the reports .\nall four cast members are cyclists of near - tour de france skill levels and miracle theatre stalwart hannah stephens brings some welcome discipline to the surreal action as the nameless storyteller . she\u2019s helped no end by ciaran clarke ` s cranky musical sound track .\nas it stands , however , this definition leaves us wanting a more precise conception of what is meant by the order or course of nature . we might therefore try to tighten the definition by saying that a miracle is an event that exceeds the productive power of nature ( st . thomas aquinas , scg 3 . 103 ; st 1 . 110 , art . 4 ) , where \u201cnature\u201d is construed broadly enough to include ourselves and any other creatures substantially like ourselves . variations on this include the idea that a miracle is an event that would have happened only given the intervention of an agent not wholly bound by nature ( larmer 1988 : 9 ) and that a miracle is an event that would have happened only if there were a violation of the causal closure of the physical world .\nas the debate over helen & apos ;

rather , the point is that one ' s considered rational judgment regarding the existence and nature of god must take into account far more than the evidence for miracle claims . that is not to say that they could not be an important or even , under certain circumstances , a decisive piece of evidence ; it is simply that neither a positive nor a negative claim regarding the existence of god can be established on the basis of evidence for a miracle claim alone , without any consideration of other aspects of the question .\nthe views expressed in this article are those of the author alone and not the world economic forum .\nnarrator : because of the pain and danger of human labor , we regularly give birth in the presence of others . today , at 4 : 25 a . m . , melinda ' s parents , along with sergio , will have the privilege of witnessing firsthand this extraordinary event\u2014life ' s greatest miracle .\nthere are three reasons why today\u2019s transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the third industrial revolution but rather the arrival of a fourth and distinct one : velocity , scope , and systems impact . the speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent . when compared with previous industrial revolutions , the fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace . moreover , it is disrupting almost every industry in every country . and the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production , management , and governance .\ntoday , we can look closer than ever before : into the womb , into a cell , into the essence of life itself . not only can we see what ' s happening , but now we ' re beginning to see how it happens\u2014the forces that build the embryo , the molecules that drive this remarkable change . we ' re uncovering the most intimate details of how life is created , the secrets behind life ' s greatest miracle .\nand the same for the ear . the outer ear quickly takes shape , but the fetus can ' t hear yet . sound conduction relies on the tiny bones of the inner ear , and most of the bones in the fetus start out as cartilage . by the fourth month , hard bone can be seen forming in the hand and the leg . finally , after five months , the process is complete in the inner ear . and then , the fetus begins to hear sound .\nwhen anyone tells me , that he saw a dead man restored to life , i immediately consider with myself , whether it be more probable , that this person should either deceive or be deceived , or that the fact , which he relates , should really have happened . i weigh the one miracle against the other ;

and ( 4 ) external sector reforms\u2014liberalizing the exchange rate and capital account controls .\nif p ( t 1 ( m ) | m ) / p ( t 1 ( m ) | ~ m ) > 1 , it follows at once that the claim , arguably attributable to hume , that the evidence of testimony can never overcome the antecedent presumption against a miracle , is false . as charles babbage puts it :\nfor the evidence for a miracle claim , being public and empirical , is never strictly demonstrative , either as to the fact of the event or as to the supernatural cause of the event . it remains possible , though the facts in the case may in principle render it wildly improbable , that the testifier is either a deceiver or himself deceived ; and so long as those possibilities exist , there will be logical space for other forms of evidence to bear on the conclusion . arguments about miracles therefore take their place as one piece\u2014a fascinating piece\u2014in a larger and more important puzzle .\nin humans , gastrulation happens deep inside the mother ' s uterine lining , so it can ' t be photographed . but we think it works something like this : the blastocyst creates two oblong bubbles , one on top of the other . sandwiched between them is a thin layer of cells . these are the cells which one day may become a baby . at the beginning of gastrulation , some cells begin moving toward the center . then they dive downwards , creating a new , lower layer . more cells plunge through , squeezing in between , forming a third . the cells in the three layers may not look different , but for each layer , a very different future lies ahead .\nthe sperm ' s 23 chromosomes stretch out in the roomy , welcoming egg . the chromosomes of sperm and egg approach each other and then the cell divides .\nthe heart is one of the few organs that actually work during the earliest weeks of development . but with other organs , function comes later . with the eye , although the retina and lens are well - formed by the ninth week , the fetus doesn ' t respond to light until the fifth or sixth month .\nthe falsehood of the testimony to a miraculous event is always at least as probable as the event attested to ( however good the testimony seems to be ) .\nadd music info heard in the movie but not listed on the soundtrack cd .\nas a fourth and final argument , hume sketches some accounts of purported miracles outside of the canonical christian scriptures\u2014two cures ascribed to vespasian , one catholic miracle reported to have been worked at saragossa , and some cures ascribed to the influence of the tomb of the jansenist abbe paris in the early 1700s\u2014and suggests that their affidavits are in various respects as good as one could wish for . hume clearly expects his protestant readers to reject these stories with disdain . he leaves unstated the obvious conclusion : by parity , his readers should also reject the miracles of the new testament .\nsince the moment the sperm entered the egg , 24 hours have passed . all this time the fertilized egg is moving down the fallopian tube toward the uterus . every few hours , the cells divide . four . . . eight . . . sixteen . . . gradually creating the building blocks needed to construct an embryo .\nhume ' s balancing principle . the testimony should be believed if , and only if , the falsehood of the testimony is less probable than the event attested to .\ndirector bill scott and his four - strong cast wisely concentrate on the zany wordplay , the physical comedy and the increasingly bizarre array of characters , while managing the shock twist at the end with considerable style .\nin the future , technological innovation will also lead to a supply - side miracle , with long - term gains in efficiency and productivity . transportation and communication costs will drop , logistics and global supply chains will become more effective , and the cost of trade will diminish , all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth .\nthe trouble with this crude argument is once again in the definition of \u201cmiracle , \u201d which here goes beyond a mere violation concept in adding immutability , which generates the contradiction . one retort that historically proved attractive is to accept the violation concept but deny that the laws of nature are immutable ; instead the truly immutable laws are higher laws\u2014laws that govern not only the behavior of physical entities but the interactions of physical and non - physical entities\u2014and what appear to us to be violations of the laws of nature are really nothing less than instances of a higher law .

[ o ] ne must ask if it is always more likely , i . e . , conformable to experience , that those claiming the event to be a miracle are mistaken rather than that the event is a genuine violation of a law of nature . counterinstances of what are taken to be natural laws are not by themselves evidence establishing that no natural law could possibly explain them : at most they provide grounds for revising our formulations of natural laws or seeking an improved understanding of the nature of the phenomena in question . at the very least they provide grounds for suspending judgments about the nature of their cause until more evidence is available . on the other hand , past experience shows that what are at one time considered violations of natural laws are frequently found at some later time not to be so . proportioning belief to evidence , therefore , it is more reasonable to believe that the claim that an event is a miracle is mistaken than it is that the event is a violation of natural law .\nthis is the power of genes , creating cascades of chemical reactions , defining the form and function of all the cells in your body .\nthe economic value of every person in singapore today is as high as that of the us .\none milestone event takes place just two weeks after conception , when the blastocyst is about the size of a poppy seed . this is the moment when the cells start to organize themselves into an embryo . the process is called\ngastrulation .\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\nfor every challenge the sperm face , success is , to a great extent , controlled by the woman ' s body and even the egg itself .\ncraig , william lane , 1985 , the historical argument for the resurrection of jesus during the deist controversy , lewiston , ny : edwin mellen press .\nas the days pass , changes proceed at a rapid - fire pace throughout the embryo . everywhere , cells are multiplying . and they ' re on the move . some reach out to one another , forming blood vessels . a heart begins to beat . as the embryo lengthens the precursor to the backbone forms . groups of cells bulge out on the sides , the beginnings of arms and legs .\nthe brain ' s hunger for fat in the last trimester puts an enormous strain on the mother . over the course of the pregnancy , her body has increased its own blood supply by about 50 percent , all for the sake of the rapidly growing baby . but late in pregnancy , the baby ' s need for fat becomes so great the mother can ' t keep up . if it stays inside , the baby will begin to starve . somehow , it ' s got to get out .\nreview the stages of labor and delivery as well as some of the risks women face giving birth .\nnow it has taken aim at o\u2019brien\u2019s cult comic novel . there are hints of father ted here , but mainly we are in the realm of the irish theatre of the absurd , as a murder is committed right at the start to finance the search for the works of an eccentric scientist - philosopher .\nsometimes genes send the message to multiply and grow , as with the arm and leg buds . sometimes the message is to die , as it is a few days later , to the cells between the fingers . as the weeks pass , the embryo ' s genes send billions of individual messages , constructing new kinds of cells and building organs and limbs .\nnarrator : inside melinda ' s belly , a remarkable transformation has taken place , starting with the moment egg and sperm met . inside the womb , the first few weeks are the most dramatic . later in pregnancy , when the mother ' s body seems to be changing the most , life in the womb can appear , well , a bit uneventful .\nthe recent slowdown in china\u2019s growth has caused concern about its long - term growth prospects . evidence suggests that , before 2008 , china\u2019s growth miracle was driven primarily by productivity improvement following economic policy reforms . since 2008 , however , growth has become more dependent on investment and overall growth has slowed . if the recent reform plans can successfully address the country\u2019s structural imbalances , china could maintain a solid growth rate that might help smooth its transition to high - income status .\nas an independent objection to belief in reported miracles , coleman ' s argument has limited force . on a ceteris paribus conception of natural laws , apparent counterevidence to a putative law may , depending on circumstances , reduce the probability of the law only slightly , the majority of the impact of the evidence going to raise the probability that all else is not , in the present case , equal . there is no general principle that would license the conclusion that it is more reasonable to accept the falsehood of the putative law than to suppose the causal closure of nature to be violated . everything depends on the details of specific cases .\nallowing for the change in terminology over the centuries , butler ' s description can be read as a verbal explication of the categorical form of the bayesian argument . if the facts can be accounted for without difficulty on the supposition of m but not , without great implausibility , on the assumption of ~ m , then they provide significant evidence in favor of m . on this reading , butler is tacitly assuming that the prior probability of m is not so low as to overcome the cumulative force of the evidence in its favor .\naquinas , st . thomas , summa theologiae ( st ) , [ available online , translated by the fathers of the english , in the catholic encyclopedia ] .\nbuel , oliver price , 1894 , the abraham lincoln myth , new york : the mascot publishing co .\nthe man is father frank shore , and he is a postulator - - a priest assigned to investigate the possibility that someone was a saint . if he is convinced , he goes before a church tribunal and argues the case against another priest whose job is popularly known as\nthe devil ' s advocate .\ned harris plays frank shore as a man with many doubts of his own . after deflating one popular candidate for sainthood , he became known as\nthe miracle killer ,\nand in his dark moments he broods that he\ndestroyed the faith of an entire community .\nnow perhaps he will have to do it again .\nthe boldest claim that could be made against reported miracles is that such events are impossible . insofar as the definition of \u201cmiracle\u201d in question is one that involves divine agency , any argument that demonstrated the non - existence of god would be eo ipso a demonstration that miracles do not take place ; and an argument that demonstrated that the existence of god is impossible would demonstrate that miracles are likewise impossible . but the more common arguments for this conclusion are more modest ; rather than setting out to show the existence of god to be impossible , they typically invoke theological premises to show that if there were a god , then miracles would not occur .\nthose who make it will face yet another challenge . underneath the cloud of cells , the egg itself is encased in a thick protein shell , called the\nzona .\nto fertilize the egg , the sperm must break through the zona . but even the strongest can ' t do it by brute force alone . the egg demands a proper introduction . proteins protruding from the sperm ' s cap must hook up precisely with a set of proteins on the egg ' s surface . if they match , the sperm is held fast and undergoes a dramatic transformation . it sheds its outer coating , releasing powerful enzymes that dissolve a hole in the zona , allowing the sperm to push its way through .\nin the sixth month , genes in the brain order the manufacture of a fatty substance called\nmyelin ,\nwhich wraps around the long connections between brain cells . this fatty covering allows nerve impulses to travel up to 100 times faster , greatly enhancing brainpower . the process will continue for years after the baby is born .\nspeaking of miracles as violations of the laws of nature also raises questions about the nature of violation . richard swinburne ( 1970 ) has suggested that a miracle might be defined as a non - repeatable counter - instance to a law of nature . if a putative law has broad scope , great explanatory power , and appealing simplicity , it may be more reasonable , swinburne argues , to retain the law ( defined as a regularity that virtually invariably holds ) and to accept that the event in question is a non - repeatable counter - instance of that law than to throw out the law and create a vastly more complex law that accommodates the event .\nthen it is free to get to work . searching for food and oxygen , cells from the blastocyst reach down and burrow into the surrounding tissue . eventually , they pull the entire bundle down into the uterine lining . and sooner or later , the mother will notice .\nin addition to being a key economic concern , inequality represents the greatest societal concern associated with the fourth industrial revolution . the largest beneficiaries of innovation tend to be the providers of intellectual and physical capital\u2014the innovators , shareholders , and investors\u2014which explains the rising gap in wealth between those dependent on capital versus labor . technology is therefore one of the main reasons why incomes have stagnated , or even decreased , for a majority of the population in high - income countries : the demand for highly skilled workers has increased while the demand for workers with less education and lower skills has decreased . the result is a job market with a strong demand at the high and low ends , but a hollowing out of the middle .\nwhere e is the proposed evidence for a miracle , and make the simplifying approximation that p ( e | m ) \u2248 p ( ~ m ) , since both terms are close to 1 . then the right side reduces to the ratio of the two remaining \u201csmall\u201d terms , p ( m ) / p ( e | ~ m ) , which will be a fair approximation of the posterior odds . then the posterior probability of m will exceed 0 . 5 just in case p ( m ) > p ( e | ~ m ) . this interpretation is endorsed by holder ( 1998 ) but challenged by millican ( 2002 ) , who also surveys various other probabilistic interpretations of hume ' s maxim .\nsome key decisions were the development of changi airport as a regional transport hub after singapore outgrew the previous paya lebar airport , which was a state -

luc godard and one of the films introducing the french new wave in the late 1950s . godard had made several short films before a bout de souffle , but this feature established the international reputation of the director who is regarded as one of the most important filmmakers of the 1960s .\nthe narrator\u2019s experiences at the liberty paints plant give ellison the chance to debunk a social and historical myth prevalent since before the civil war\u2014that of the north as the land of freedom for black americans . the north , it turns out , perpetuates its own racist social structure , with which the narrator becomes further acquainted in the second half of the novel . the liberty paints plant serves as an extended metaphor for racial inequality in america . the factory\u2019s authorities , with their slogans emphasizing concepts of whiteness and purity , imply the moral superiority of their whiteness . the inclusion of \u201cliberty\u201d in the factory\u2019s name emphasizes that the factory\u2019s leaders\u2019 notions reflect those held by the leaders of america , a country supposedly founded on \u201cliberty\u201d and equality but in fact , ironically , advocating more freedom for the individuals it deems worthiest .\nfill in the blank : the huge electric sign at the liberty paints plant reads : \u201ckeep america _ _ _ with liberty paints\u201d .\nwhen brockway boasts that one would have to crack open a chunk of coal painted with liberty paints\u2019 optic white in order to determine its black essence , he illustrates how blackness becomes invisible beneath whiteness at the plant . mr . kimbro brags that the paint\u2019s pure whiteness will cover anything , and indeed it covers the black chemical used to create it . that this specific shade of white is called \u201coptic\u201d equates whiteness with clarity . this label is ironic , however , because the brilliance of the paint is blinding . like a mask , the paint covers and conceals .\nthe blackmarket dealer is an arms dealer who supplies weapons and equipment without the governors on them to hayden for a number of rubles . he hides in the lasrian sewers all over the city .\ndark sector has been one the most recent games to be banned in australia by the oflc . however on july 22 , 2009 , the full version of dark sector was released on the coverdisc of pc powerplay , an australian pc gaming magazine , although this is the censored version of the game .\nlater , the narrator is sent to the furnace room to assist the engineer , lucius brockway . brockway , who believes that assistants are always college -

known for their frantic and robust multiplayer .\nafter making contact with his superior again he is told that mezner has some infected on a ship and is trying to export the technocyte virus to the rest of the world . after fighting and hijacking another tank hayden pushes to the coast and hitches a ride on a helicopter to the ship . fighting the crew , he makes it into the cargo hold and accidentally releases a highly evolved technocyte monster which sinks the ship . hayden escapes with his life but yargo has been found and captured by the military .\nwhen only a little of the black chemical remains , kimbro instructs the narrator to go to the tank room to get more . there , however , the narrator finds seven tanks marked by incomprehensible codes , leaving him unable to determine which tank contains the right chemical . he chooses one by scent and continues to mix and paint the tiles , but the tiles turn out sticky and gray , not hard and glossy . kimbro returns and becomes infuriated , scolding the narrator for putting concentrated remover into the paint and thereby ruining some seventy -

up man employed by the cia . he has congenital analgia ( a real - life disorder ) which renders him unable to feel pain . on a mission in a fictional former eastern bloc nation , he is exposed to a biological compound which mutates him , dramatically changing his right arm , and giving him the ability to grow a three - bladed throwable weapon called a glaive at will . as explained in game informer magazine , the glaive is a part of his body , can be used to generate light , and can be controlled remotely by the player .\nin the early \u201890s , id software flipped the gaming industry on its side when it popularized the first - person shooter with doom and wolfenstein 3d . now shooters are one of the most common video game genres on the market , delivering everything from high - intensity shootouts like call of duty to thought - provoking stories like bioshock and even sprawling loot - fests like borderlands . the diversity of today\u2019s first - person shooter market is due \u2013 in large part \u2013 to the inventive trailblazing of the original deus ex . but to better understand the impact of ion storm\u2019s original shooter / rpg hybrid , you have to time travel back to the beginning of its development , in the early \u201890s .\nan aristocratic but destitute southern family attempts to swindle an insurance company by faking the theft of a valuable emerald necklace . the company assigns operatives eve rogers ( linda stirling ) and mike regan ( william henry as bill henry ) to the case . eve is nearly strangled by the scion of the family before being rescued by mike .\nhe arrives at the entrance of the vault to rendezvous his superior ( his name is revealed to be\ndixon\nas seen on his uniform ) , who says he has made a deal with mezner and gives him a booster\nfor the road\n. hayden is outraged and stabs him in the neck with the booster , and tells him that he\nlikes it\n[ the infection ] and goes to destroy mezner . he kills all of the men under his superior ' s command and then enters the vault . once inside , mezner tries to convince hayden to join him . this doesn ' t work and hayden goes deeper into the vault . he then finds the source of the technocyte , or at least the first known source : the submarine that appeared off the coast of lasria , only hayden finds out that the submarine was actually american ( either by accident or on purpose , we don ' t know ; it is implied that the american government knew all along ) . after the final showdown with mezner , and the technocyte hydra - like monstrosity he controls , yargo arrives to tell hayden that the transmission is still going out . hayden tries to fry the circuitry by using his glaive but before the dying mezner , who is not quite dead yet attacks him one last time stunning his right arm , before telling him\nyou are one of us now\n. hayden then catches the now electrified glaive with his left hand and impales mezner ' s skull with it . with the transmission finally halted , the game ends with yargo saying\nthat was how it started , the irony of this disease , that in all the others it made evil , but for him it saved his soul\n.\nyargo menshik ( voiced by j\u00fcrgen prochnow ) is a\nsleeper agent\nand a scientist who knows the origin of the technocyte virus .\nthe sales and product manager for afa interactive ( the local distributors of dark sector ) , adam zweck , told gamespot au that the game was banned due to its high impact violence , in particular the finishing moves the player can perform .\nobviously we ' re disappointed in it .\nwe feel there is justification for an appeal . however , we ' re exploring several avenues at the moment to see what we can do to get the game on australian shelves .\nhayden gets the suit and slaughters his way through infected and non infected alike , taking down 3 powered armour soldiers and finally finding nemesis . in the final showdown , hayden kills the nemesis and learns that it was actually nadia all along . she apologises for infecting hayden and tells him mezner is planning a worldwide transmission to spread the technocyte virus everywhere , hayden says that he can ' t stop him because the organization is in the way . nadia then tells him that she knows he ' ll\n. . . do the right thing this time\n, leaves him with the key to the vault , and then dies . hayden then hijacks another jackal tank and kills everyone in his path on his way to the vault .\nhe then arrives at a radio station to contact his superior for further instructions , with his right arm ' s skin degenerated and exposed flesh . the superior is informed of the situation and tells hayden to meet up with their sleeper agent , yargo mensik , to obtain boosters for the infection . soon , he hears the footsteps of an enemy soldier and attempts to ambush him . the soldier quickly gets the upper hand and pins hayden down . hayden ' s infected arm then produces the glaive , and slits the soldier ' s throat . another soldier enters the shed and shouts that he has\nfound him !\nover his radio , only to be brutally decapitated by the glaive as hayden throws it at him . hayden continues along the coast , slowly gaining new abilities with the glaive as the infection progresses and produces some kind of metal that eventually surrounds his right arm completely , encountering both soldiers , haz - mat soldiers in masks , and the infected ( people infected with the virus and driven mad from pain . ) eventually hayden encounters a massive , ape - like monster with flesh covered in the same type of metal as hayden ' s infected arm . after a short conflict in which both hayden and the creature come to a neutral standstill , the monster is called back by some sort of signal .\nthe gunplay is similar to that of gears of war , resident evil 4 and dead space . the camera is positioned over the shoulder for third - person shooting , and the player can also take cover by standing next to an object such as a pillar or wall . while in cover , the player can pop out and fire , and also throw the glaive ; however there is no blind fire . there is also a sprint function , which works similar to that of gears of war . the game has no hud ( except for the ammo counter ) ; hayden ' s health is shown by the screen flashing red when he takes damage . if the player takes too much damage , the flashes will be faster , and a heartbeat will be heard , indicating hayden is\nbleeding out\n.\nrobert mezner ( voiced by dwight schultz ) is the game ' s main antagonist . cruel and ruthless , he plans to expand and spread the virus around the world . he claims he wants to create a new utopia .\nhayden then makes his way further up the coast to a temporary military base set up in an abandoned pier . after fighting his way closer to the main building he overhears a lasrian soldier calling for help on a radio as he is slowly driven insane by the infection . hayden then delves into the basement area and after taking care of several infected makes his way to the roof . it is there he gains a new mutation ability and finally finds yargo . he tells hayden that his orders have been updated and gives him the booster to help slow the infection . hayden refuses and asks about the new intel .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nwalsh , martin , the brechtian aspect of radical cinema , london , 1981 .\nalthough mort glickman is listed in the onscreen credits as the musical director of this film , richard cherwin is credited in that capacity by numerous reviews . according to a\n. \u201d the narrator\u2019s supervisor , mr . kimbro , leads him to a long room filled with buckets of paint . kimbro demonstrates the job : he opens buckets filled with a foul , milky brown substance and drips ten drops of another black chemical into them ; then he stirs the buckets vigorously until the paint becomes glossy white ; last , he applies the paint to small , rectangular wooden boards and waits for them to dry . if they dry brilliant white , then the job has been done correctly . kimbro brags that the optic white of liberty paints is the purest white that can be found anywhere . he says that it can cover up almost anything .\nthe oflc responded stating ,\ndark sector contains violence that is high in impact and is therefore unsuitable for persons aged under 18 years to play .\nthe finishing moves and most violent game play includes decapitation , dismemberment of limbs accompanied by large blood spurts , neck breaking spurts , neck breaking twists and exploded bodies with post action twitching body parts . these moves are relatively easy to accomplish and once the player has mastered the moves and is able to get close to his foes , these violent moves can be executed ,\nsaid the oflc ' s ruling .\nsuccessfully shooting an opponent results in the depiction of blood spray . when hayden cuts off his opponent ' s limb with the glaive , large amounts of blood spray forth from the stump and the injured person screams in agony which increases the impact .\nsadly , spector\u2019s plan didn\u2019t work and the two teams immediately started causing more conflict , stalling the game -

paul belmondo ) , a small time hood , casually kills a policeman . he goes to paris to collect some money in order to leave the country , and tries to convince his american girlfriend patricia franchini ( jean seberg ) to go with him . she is less interested in accompanying him than she is in playing the role of an american intellectual in paris . ( she hawks the new york herald tribune on the champs - elys\u00e9es while trying to establish herself as a journalist . ) when michel finally secures the money he needs and is ready to leave the city , patricia betrays him to the police , and he is shot as he half - heartedly attempts to escape .\nat the beginning of the game when we do the prologue he ' s just kind of this anti - hero kind of guy . and very simply , concretely in the game , there are certain types of barriers that he has to open with contextual stuff . and then when he changes , then he begins tearing those things off and becomes much more brutal . so what we ' re trying to do is convey that evolution on the inside , but also convey it on the outside so that those game elements that are around him are evolving as he does .\nan aristocratic but destitute southern family attempts to swindle an insurance company by faking the theft of a valuable emerald necklace . the company assigns operatives eve rogers and mike . . . see more \u00bb\ndixon , wheeler w . , the films of jean -

and - run tactics . customizing your guns in the heat of battle also works well , though being limited to two primary weapons meant i hardly touched a number of alternate guns . these features instill a sense of gameplay freedom that military shooters often lack ; i would have enjoyed them if it weren ' t for the perfect storm of other problems .\nreview : a pair of private eyes with the usual romantic interests try to track down a missing necklace insured for $ 100 , 000 . a trail of bodies which have either been strangled or torn apart by police dogs leads the snooping duo to the culprit . actress linda stirlin\u2026 ( more )\nspector\u2019s team set up a new office in austin and began working on their dream project in august 1997 , hoping to release the game by christmas 1998 . unfortunately , the deus ex\u2019s development was so troubled that it would take another two years , and wouldn\u2019t hit the market until summer 2000 .\nan aristocratic but destitute southern family attempts to swindle an insurance company by faking the theft of a valuable emerald necklace . the company assigns operatives eve rogers and mike . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nropars , marie -

one patch designed to improve performance , homefront ' s framerate frequently stutters , and on some occasions felt more like a slideshow than a video game . the best shooters aim for a solid 60 frames per second \u2013 homefront is lucky to claw its way to 30 , and rarely stays there for long . the performance issues don ' t just kill the already shaky gunplay \u2013 they also gave me headaches during prolonged play sessions , something i have never experienced in my many years playing shooters .\nwith a story penned by hollywood director and screenwriter john milius , the original homefront was an ambitious military shooter rendered mediocre by technical limitations , dated graphics , and a lack of distinguishing features . a few regime changes later \u2013 which include both the series ' developer and publisher \u2013 and homefront : the revolution returns with some novel additions including a unique take on the open - world format and on - the - fly weapon customization . unfortunately , developer dambuster studios failed to slay homefront ' s true enemy ; an unending litany of glitches , a . i . failings , and performance issues that do indeed differentiate homefront from other shooters , but for all the wrong reasons .\ninitially a windows version of dark sector was planned and was to be released on the same date as on consoles . but later it was dropped and there was no news on its release for a while . on january 19 , 2009 , some sites reported that a youtube video [ 1 ] was available , showing dark sector running on a pc . later it was confirmed that the game was indeed ported to windows and was on sale , though only in russia and the language was russian by default . after a while , hackers found ways to run the game in english . an english french version was added to steam on march 24 , 2009 . the pc version ' s multiplayer mode is only available via local area network play , as the game is a straight port of the console version with no extra code for internet connectivity .\ncast : jean seberg ( patricia franchini ) ; jean -

provoking historical analysis of the types of struggles the organization has taken part in , viewers are made aware of the delicate balance between the rights of individuals and the rights of groups or of the government . the aclu\u2019s dedication to defending the extremes of society , from the most liberal to the most conservative , show not only how this controversial organization has been essential to american liberty , but also how it has contributed to the discussion about the tension between legal rights and moral laws .\nthe idea for the film came when emmerich and devlin were in europe promoting their film stargate . a reporter asked emmerich why he made a movie with content like stargate if he did not believe in aliens . emmerich stated he was still fascinated by the idea of an alien arrival , and further explained his response by asking the reporter to imagine what it would be like to wake up one morning and discover 15 -

life that contains few surprises but never has been shown with such frankness and honesty in a soviet film .\n, with regular excursions to the bedroom of vera ' s lover . vera is well played by natalya negoda , whose beautiful body and somewhat grating voice make her at once sensuous and irritating . with blond - streaked hair , cigarettes , and a promiscuous manner of behavior , vera represents the rebellious soviet youth . vera struggles throughout the movie to overcome her mundane surroundings and banal existence , but to no avail .\nsergei represents sophistication to vera . he is laid back , cool , completely sure of himself . at his initial meeting with vera ' s parents , a formal sunday dinner , he turns up wearing bermuda shorts . during the meal , bored by the conversation , he grabs vera ' s hand and walks out .\nat recent soviet - style sneak previews of\nlittle vera ,\naudiences were especially impressed by nazarov ' s expert portrayal of the lowly alcoholic father , because the actor ; pichul explained , normally plays ,\ncommissars , party people , those who don ' t know what doubt means .\nwith the headline : reviews / film festival ; ' vera , ' a russian love story , abrasive and comic .\n' ' little vera ' ' is a far cry from ' ' moscow does not believe in tears , ' ' the schmaltzy russian romantic comedy that won the foreign - language oscar some years ago , though not because of its partial nudity and its awareness that people sometimes enjoy sex out of wedlock .\namong the scenes in\nlittle vera\nthat we have not seen in a soviet movie before is one where policemen with guard dogs break up a meeting place of teenagers . the film is frankly on the side of youth and against authority , and the cops are seen as repressive agents of a humorless system .\none of the major aspects of\nmalenkaya vera\n( called\nlittle vera\nin english ) is that it was the first movie from the soviet union that featured a sex scene , albeit a short one . the title is important : vera is the russian word for\nfaith\n, identifying that punk vera ( natalya negoda ) has little faith in the soviet system . and as the movie shows , there ' s not much faith to be had in it . the opening scene shows the bleak industrial town of zhdanov , nearly a hell on earth . when vera ' s lover sergei ( andrey sokolov ) moves in with her family , it leads to some unexpected events . like in many russian movies , people ' s names describe their characters . for example , there ' s viktor ( remember that\nvictor\nmeans winner ) . all in all , this is a good look at the soviet union while it was collapsing - and we can see why it was collapsing . really good .\nuntil now ,\nlittle vera\nhas eluded censorship , though pichul acknowledged that\nrumors persist in some official circles that the film distorts reality , blackens everything , and that such works shouldn ' t be allowed to exist .\nbut the film has strong allies within the soviet filmmakers union , and groundswell public support bolstered by pichul ' s strategic casting of two beloved soviet actors , ludmilla zaitzeva and yuri nazarov , as vera ' s parents .\nlife in the cramped apartment becomes impossible . the drunken father fights with sergei , who moves out , and vera attempts suicide .\n' ' little vera ' ' is less critical and daring than honest and frank . more important , it doesn ' t simplify or attempt to explain the contradictory natures of the characters . they ' re not exactly chekhovian , but they are complex , sometimes self - deluding and almost always , at some point , most engagingly comic .\nbut nothing works in her life , including engagement to a nihilistic university student . vera teeters between a doomed marriage and the allure of suicide .\nthe title character of the russian little vera is a headstrong teenage girl , played by natalya negoda . to the dismay of her parents , vera lives only for the moment , making no provision for her future . she ' d rather hang out at local cafes in garish makeup and provocative clothing . a chance meeting with handsome student sergei ( andrei sokolov ) develops into a sexual relationship . her parents send out vera ' s brother ( alexander alexeyev - negreba ) to talk some sense into her , which proves to be doubly dicey when it turns out that the brother is an old acquaintance of the rebellious sergei . vera lies , saying that she ' s gotten pregnant by sergei , so he obligingly marries her and moves in with her family , which serves only to make matters worse , as vera ' s drunken father ( yuri nazarov ) ends up stabbing his son - in - law . persuaded to lie about the incident to keep her father out of jail , vera takes her family ' s side . a last - minute tragedy is barely averted , but the audience gets the distinct feeling that vera ' s problems with her family in particular and her life in general are far from over . ~ hal erickson , rovi\nmiss negoda ' s vera is an enchanting creature . she ' s willful , sweet , a little silly and essentially honest . she has a laugh that is a fishwife ' s cackle , which , like elizabeth taylor ' s , is all the more infectious for having no apparent relation to the beauty from which it issues . miss negoda could be the discovery of the year .\nbut ' ' little vera ' ' is so funny , so abrasive and so true that it transcends newsworthiness . it stands on its own . it also suggests that in mr . pichul , its 28 - year - old director , and in mariya khmelik , who wrote the screenplay , the russians have a pair of first - rate new film makers who will soon be internationally known .\nhowever , the most radical element of\nlittle vera\nis its obstinately pessimistic tone , a total rejection of the mandated pollyannaish romanticism of traditional stalin - khruschev - brezhnev cinema . never has there been such a bleak , kitchen - sink look at the daily life of soviet citizenry . some viewers may even wish for the return of the halcyon days of happy , politically correct tractor drivers .\nlittle vera\ncomes advertised as the first soviet film to deal frankly with youth rebellion , discontent with the system , and sex . its star , natalya negoda , has gained a measure of fame by being the first soviet actress to appear nude in a fairly explicit sex scene . to help launch the film in america , negoda posed nude for playboy and told her story to people magazine .\n' ' little vera ' ' will be opening a regular commercial run at the lincoln plaza on april 14 . go . adrift in a world of people on course little vera , directed by vasily pichul ; screenplay ( in russian with english subtitles ) by maryia khmelik ; photography by yefim reznikov ; edited by yelena zabolotskaya ; music by vladimir matetsky ; art direction by vladimir pasternak ; production company , gorky film studios ; an international film exchange release . at roy and niuta titus theater 1 , museum of modern art , as part of the new directors / new films series . running time : 130 minutes . this film has no rating . vera . . . natalya negoda sergei . . . andrei sokolov the father . . . yuri nazarov the mother . . . lyudmila zaitseva andrei . . . andrei fomin viktor . . . aleksandr alekseyev -

sensical , adrift in a world where everyone else appears to be traveling a set course . vera is just out of school and about to take a job with the telephone company .\nperhaps the most striking moment of the film occurs when vera learns that she was not a\nwanted\nchild . why didn ' t her parents abort the pregnancy ? the answer is not the one americans would expect : vera was born so that her father could get the larger apartment he wanted . this situation is typical of the film -

( the housing shortage in the soviet union actually is one of the film ' s most important themes ; none of the characters can count on a moment ' s privacy . ) vera and sergei share a few moments of happiness , including one ironic interlude on the beach , where they pause in their lovemaking to discuss their goals , and vera says ,\nin our country , we have but one goal : communism .\nthis line , in all of its sarcasm , reportedly has become as famous in the soviet union as\nplastics !\nbecame after the 1967 release of\nthe graduate\nin this country .\na story about a young woman , vera , who is somebody , living the life of a troubled teenager in the time right before the end of the soviet union . she lives in a very small russian apartment . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe sole reference to marxist ideology is an ironic one , when the bikini - clad protagonist , vera , lies across her amour ' s body on the beach and declares , tongue - in - cheek ,\nwe have a common goal : communism .\nnot surprisingly , vera seeks to escape from this life , and she leaves the apartment with relief , dressed in a mini - skirt , to hang out with a group of nonconformist teenagers who like to listen to rock ' n ' roll and bait the authorities .\nin the meantime , she waits around . when she can , she hangs out with her girlfriends , picking up boys . she shares a cramped , working - class apartment with her father , who is a decent sort until he drinks ( when he turns into a slob ) , and her mother , a once pretty woman who works too hard at her job and spends her exhausted off hours fretting . the arbiter of family disputes is vera ' s older brother , viktor , a doctor who lives in moscow and who is telephoned every time vera does something wrong , which is constantly .\ndoes dust intend to make any political commentary ? maybe not . but its imaginative use of the soundtrack\u2014in counterpoint to the image\u2014is quite damning . lesha\u2019s therapeutic dance with the psychology student is set to alla pugacheva\u2019s pop rendition of mandel ' shtam\u2019s macabre \u201cleningrad . \u201d lesha\u2019s comic attempts to impress chance acquaintances with the documentary evidence of his \u201cother body\u201d are accompanied by sofia rotaru\u2019s \u201conly this is not enough\u201d\u2014the leitmotif of the perestroika classic little vera ( vasilii pichul , 1988 ) . but the film\u2019s gem is viktor tsoi\u2019s song \u201cwe are waiting for changes ! \u201d which acquired a quasi - religious status after the release of sergei solov ' ev\u2019 assa ( 1988 ) . the song plays twice at the film\u2019s end : the first time as an ironic quote , when lesha runs through the long corridor towards the lab and the promised land ; the second as the final credits start rolling . this time , the song acquires a body : a young man angrily interprets the lyrics into sign language .\nthe film takes place in a provincial city where vera , a restless teenager , lives in a cramped three - room apartment with her al coholic father and her thoroughly disillusioned mother . a brother has moved to moscow . life in the family is a drab routine : the self - pitying , unemployed father gets up in the morning and starts to drink , and the mother and daughter plan their days around his rages and remorses .\ncut to a small , exceptionally pretty young woman as she stands on the tiny balcony of one of those apartment blocks , leaning on the rail in cheeky boredom . she is vera and she is definitely not forever . with the exception of her surprising spirit , everything about her will soon wear out or be cheerfully forgotten , including her dark glasses , the gum she is chewing and the loud rock music she ' s listening to .\ntakes place in the soviet union , the moral of the film is foreign only to the extent that americans ( and hollywood films ) seem to pride themselves on a constant glimmer of hope . the misery , however , is universal . it is not until half - way through the film , when vera says to sergio ,\nwe have a common goal . . . communism ,\nthat we are forced to remember that we are dealing with the soviet union and not just any desolate place .\nthe film that shocked the soviets with its depiction of your average russian family as a squalid , sottish , violent bunch of amoral no - hopers . filtered through western eyes , the sex scenes seem mild , the foul language blunted by subtitles , and the rebellious stance tame . but the film ' s message is still subtly affecting . the circumscribed sadness of life in a dull industrial town ; the inability of the generations to understand each other ; the hard eyed look at love as an explosive and divisive , not redemptive force ; these themes are mercilessly delineated . there ' s also a welcome anarchic humour at work : when stolid sergei bemoans vera ' s lack of purpose , she writhes on top of him purring : ' you and i share the same goal . communism ' . you can feel the shock waves from here . the film ' s chief revelation is negoda ' s searing performance as vera , a feisty , mean - minded hellcat who injects chaos into every life that touches hers . the booze fuelled tale is wildly melodramatic , but the performances , pitilessly shot in gritty , realistic settings , are excellent .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nan independent , small - budget ( no - budget , to be precise ) film shot on digital camera , dust seemed an unlikely candidate for any recognition amidst the bombast of such new russian \u201cblockbusters\u201d as the turkish gambit ( dzhanik faiziev , 2005 ) and company 9 ( fedor bondarchuk , 2005 ) . nonetheless , upon its release in june 2005 loban\u2019s film immediately raked in a dozen enthusiastic reviews by major russian film critics , who repeatedly called this modest film a sign of a new direction in russian cinema . screened in the \u201cperspectives\u201d program at the moscow film festival , [ 1 ] dust received a diploma of the jury of russian film critics for the \u201cexperiment on the body of the hero and on the language of cinema . \u201d while the second part of this peculiar citation is expected praise for an independent production , the first part has to do with the script . the plot is simple , clever , and\u2014to avoid the tired imprecision of the word \u201ctopical\u201d\u2014contemporary .\nthe hero of dust is lesha sergeev ( aleksei podol ' skii ) , an obese 24 - year old man , balding and myopic , who lives with his grandmother . this intelligentnaia woman monitors every aspect of lesha\u2019s life , from the intake of proteins and glucose ( franks and sugar - loaded tea for breakfast ) to suitable leisure ( making model airplanes ) to an appropriate outfit ( an oversized t - shirt with a kitten print , purchased in a second - hand store ) . for the duration of the film , lesha\u2019s amorphous body will be draped in this \u201cunisex\u201d monstrosity , exchanged for female clothing at the film\u2019s end . this expository part of the film is a small masterpiece of acting , editing , and mise - en - sc\u00e8ne . unpretentious and unsentimental , the sequence has lesha\u2019s entire life laid out with an unerring feel for turn - of - the - millennium russia : a fully internalized sense of alienation from \u201creality . \u201d lesha\u2019s face , torso , hands , and even the kitten on his t - shirt , magnified and distorted by close - ups , all articulate dejected bewilderment .\nby some fluke lesha is selected by the fsb to participate in an \u201cexperiment\u201d for the \u201cglory of russian science . \u201d neither the purpose nor , indeed , the nature of the experiment is clear , but its side effect has a profound impact on lesha in the form of a flickering image of the\nlesha , a muscular , fit , and assertive one . in a gogolian attempt to regain this other body\u2019s \u201cbeauty and power , \u201d the hero desperately chases after his athletic double through the streets , clubs , and gyms of post - soviet moscow . the hero\u2019s sluggishness and submissiveness disappear , replaced by an outburst of activity . initially lesha follows the fsb instructions : do not return to the lab and call a psychologist in case of \u201canxiety . \u201d lesha\u2019s further actions follow the same obscure but effective logic as ivan the homeless\u2019 attempts to catch the elusive \u201cforeigner\u201d in mikhail bulgakov\u2019s\n. first lesha goes to victory park on poklonnaia mountain ; then tries to squeeze his way back into the lab ; finally , he tracks down the professor of gynecology in charge of the experiment ( petr mamonov ) and , despite the latter\u2019s warnings , goes in for a lethal dose of the \u201cexperiment . \u201d\nto say that dust is an independent cinema project by a team of audacious alternative artists only begins to describe this uncanny film and its creators . during the 1990s , director sergei loban and scriptwriter marina potapova created an art group with the shocking name zaibi\u2014 \u201cfor anonymous and free art . \u201d the two of them plus cameraman dmitrii model ' also worked on the program up to 16 and older for the ort channel . the self - proclaimed anarchists invited alternative artists to their programs , organized \u201cstreet parties\u201d ( a post - soviet analogue of conceptualist collective actions ) , and arranged fake pr campaigns for aspiring duma candidates . by 2000 their unorthodox activities became too much for the channel to take , at which point the trio announced the creation of the studio svoi 2000 . after several shorts , svoi 2000 made its debut feature film dust .\ndust \u2019s symbolic budget of $ 3 , 000 , as well as its non - professional cast , which consists of the filmmakers\u2019 friends plus petr mamonov , exemplifies zaibi\u2019s slogan : \u201ceven a naked man in open space can be creative . \u201d albeit non - professional , the actors in dust are all familiar faces in the russian artistic underground . gleb mikhailov , the director of black dude ( chernyi fraer , 2001 ) \u2014a campy parody of aleksei balabanov\u2019s brother ( 1997 ) and brother - 2 ( 2000 ) \u2014plays lesha\u2019s \u201cbody . \u201d russian rappers white hot ice and rustaveli appear as carjacking gangsters . the former muztv host larisa piatnitskaia ( also known as squirrel ) appears as the fsb - employed psychology student , while the \u201crevolutionary writer\u201d dmitrii pimenov is featured as an fsb official .\nshot with a hand - held digital camera , dust abounds in tight close - ups of unappealing faces and bodies , captured at strange angles . yet this is neither naturalism nor an attempt to go out on a limb for visual originality . the film\u2019s zero - budget and the filmmakers\u2019 inexperience may account for the rough picture , but the \u201cdogme - 95 style\u201d works well for the film . when the camera focuses on lesha\u2019s bloated face or relentlessly pursues him through his meaningless search it is , as the authors claim , hyperrealism : we are challenged to watch a movie that , in the process of constructing reality , strips it of any cinematic glamour .\nthe trashy visual quality has another effect that is key to the film\u2019s narrative . on the one hand , we are privy to the grainy but endearing authenticity of a home - video . on the other hand ,\nthe texture of [ video ] format inevitably brings to mind countless wedding recordings , video reports of investigative police actions , house security monitors , police surveillance [ \u2026 ] and other such foul material , dispassionately documenting in every detail the grimy everyday life . [ 2 ]\ndespite all these signs of art - house marginality , dust is not an obscure avant - garde text , with appeal only to critics and insiders . surprisingly enough , it is a cause - and - effect narrative film , character - centered , with clear psychological motivation . the narrative steadily progresses from initial equilibrium to disruption to resolution . as in classic hollywood films , the hero is driven by desire . the film suggests , however , that our desires and drives are side - effects of some ill - designed neuro - social experiment , whereas final equilibrium is achieved through a pulverization of the hero , who is finally able to catch up with his media - enhanced reflection\u2014a kind of prequel to the matrix ( andy and larry wachowski , 1999 ) set in a country that never valued individual consciousness in the first place .\ndust shares its penchant for hyper - realistic fantasy with such recent russian films as 4 ( il ' ia khrzhanovskii , 2004 ) and bipedalism ( evgenii iufit , 2004 ) . the loban - potapova - model ' team , however , are straight shooters . beginning as a profoundly humanistic narrative , dust gradually transforms into a godardian act of aggression on the viewer , as lesha gets lost among the forces of the post - soviet moscow - scape . the fsb appeals to lesha\u2019s \u201clove for the motherland\u201d and harasses him ; 1960s intellectuals praise the new generation \u201cwhich grew up free\u201d ; liberals and neo - dissidents suggest emigration ; the fsb - employed psychologist encourages lesha to \u201copen up and communicate\u201d ; the keyboard - thumping preacher ( played with gusto by psoi korolenko ) at a religious sect meeting promises new life through god ; and so on and so forth . by the time the misanthropic professor delivers his outrageous 10 - minute long lecture - monologue ( which can only be compared with the marxist lecture in jean - luc godard\u2019s weekend , 1967 ) on human insignificance\u2014also known as \u201cdust\u201d\u2014 the viewer cannot but identify with the blessedly autistic hero . none of these discourses has any effect on him . he just stands meekly in the frame with a vacant stare , silent except for bashmachkin - like mumbling : \u201cmy body is there . i want it back . for keeps . \u201d\nthe viewer does not know how to feel . perhaps this explains why in a collective act of denial many russian critics described lesha using a transplanted term : \u201closer . \u201d but if the buff supercop / gangster / special forces agent , populating a score of recent films and tv productions , represents the positive pole of this paradigm , the \u201cexperiment\u201d has , indeed succeeded . dust is a funky and accurate picture of putin\u2019s russia : a stagnant police state with \u201ckgb basements\u201d below and the desolate imperial ensemble at the poklonnaia mountain above , and with second - hand consumer capitalism stuck in the middle . in the closing sequence , the flickering post - experiment lesha joins his grandmother in front of a tv , where stand - up comedian evgenii petrosian is doing his routine : like a cackling demon of banality , he spews out discursive fragments of the new \u201cfree\u201d society .\ndust is not easy viewing but it is a surprising discovery . the team\u2019s next low - budget project , a film about summer vacations , is already underway . it is definitely something to look forward to .\n1 ] dust was reportedly invited to participate in the cannes film festival but was not included because of problems with translation .\n2 ] anton kostylev , \u201cbrat - 3 : vernite telo , \u201d urltoken ( 14 july 2005 ) . .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

14 . the first is to understand that it is the followers of the wicked who are speaking in verses 10 - 14 . they come to the conclusion of verse 11 ( how can god know ? ) and they justify it on the basis of their observations of the wicked , which are expressed in verses 12 - 13 . the wicked , they conclude , are getting away with it , and even prospering in their sin . they decide that godliness is in vain , and that god really doesn\u2019t care ( vv . 13 - 14 , v . 11 ) . like those addressed in the book of hebrews , it would seem that they considered the cost of obedience too high , and have determined to give up . \u201cif you can\u2019t beat \u2018em , join \u2018em . \u201d the psalmist speaks for himself , then , only in verse 15 . he considered joining his peers in abandoning his faith , but decided against it .\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\nbut , of course , nolan didn\u2019t set out to present history the way scholars do it . historians\u2019 careers rest on perfect accuracy , and nuance and complication are prized\u2014even at the high cost of turning away nonprofessional readers . so , nolan makes choices in assembling , and sometimes inventing , his facts that academics would not . let\u2019s look at these choices made in the name of dramatizing experience and check them against the evidence as embodied by eyewitness accounts and documentary sources .\nno . they were real , but the genuine ones weren\u2019t in living technicolor . quickly churned out by intelligence officers behind the lines on commandeered newspaper presses , such pamphlets encouraging a surrounded enemy to surrender were used by all sides throughout the war .\nwell it ' s not quite that easy . unless it is . that is the beauty\u2014 and the frustration \u2014of the rut . it can be the ultimate in roller coaster experiences . here ' s how to hunt it .\nmany of the social developments that improve longevity\u2014better sanitation , less pollution , improved emergency rooms\u2014are provided to all on an egalitarian basis . but today\u2019s public high schools are dreadful in many inner - city areas , and broadly across states including california . legislatures are cutting support for public universities , while the cost of higher education rises faster than inflation . these issues are discussed in terms of fairness ; perhaps health should be added as a concern in the debate . if education is the trump card of longevity , the top quintile may pull away from the rest .\nscouting is the foundation to consistent deer hunting success . whether you\u2019re hunting a small 10 - acre patch of urban timber or larger expanses of farmland , the effort you assert in understanding your property and how the deer use it will largely determine the outcome of your season .\nfor years , the american social trend has been away from \u201cconstant interaction with other people\u201d\u2014fewer two - parent homes , fewer children per home , declining participation in religious and community activities , grandparents living on their own , electronic interaction replacing the face - to - face in everything from work to dating . prosperity is associated with smaller households , yet the large multigeneration home may be best for long life . there are some indications that the great recession increased multigeneration living . this may turn out to boost longevity , at least for a time .\neach unit will also have an advertised range for the flash . this tells you how far away a deer can be from the unit and still be illuminated by the flash . the longer the range , the better .\nnumerous manufacturers sell crossbows that run the gamut of prices , although they are typically more expensive than the average compound . if you\u2019re shopping for a crossbow and want to know how to pick one from another , check out these guidelines :\nafter toiling in the workplace for decades , it seems only natural to expect financial security in our golden years . but few of us can look forward to a cushy retirement . according to the employee benefit research institute\u2019s 2017 retirement confidence survey , six in 10 workers reported feeling at least somewhat confident that they\u2019ll have adequate finances to retire comfortably , but only 18 percent reported a high level of confidence . nearly four in 10 , in fact , have little or no retirement savings whatsoever . many are even worried about covering basic living expenses once they leave the workforce .\nthe best answer to the question of how much to replace in retirement is , \u201chow much income do you want to have ? \u201d when an individual or couple is closer to retirement ( say , 5 - 10 years ) , they have a very good idea of what their actual expenses are , or will be in retirement . then you can add in specific expenses , such as vacation , health care costs , to customize a savings plan based on the actual income goals .\nsome of the best bird photography of the year\u2014a collection of the 2018 winners and runners -

28 , from the low point of his doubts and protest to the pinnacle of his renewed devotion and praise .\nquality optics are essential for deer hunting , and there are three primary types to consider : binoculars , spotting scopes and rangefinders . although not all of them are necessary in every hunting situation , each is useful enough to justify owning them all . in the past , deer hunters were forced to choose between cheap optics that were often junk , or high - quality glass that cost a small fortune . today , there are numerous middle - of - the - road binoculars , rangefinders and spotting scopes that will do the job effectively , but at reasonable prices .\nchristopher nolan\u2019s dunkirk is likely to be the most widely seen or read depiction of history released in 2017 . so how does a british historian who teaches and writes about world war ii rate it as history ?\nthe more difficult aspect of trail camera use is deciding exactly where to put it and how many to use . there are no set rules for either . the best place to put a camera is the place where you think it will provide you with the information you ' re looking for .\n\u201ctoday\u2019s tender result sets a new benchmark for the local property market , \u201d said denis ma , head of research at jll . \u201cit will be interesting to see how this affects pricing in the property and stock markets . \u201d\nthis hobson ' s choice is imposing a high cost on both individuals and society . many professional women reject motherhood entirely ; in switzerland 40 % of them are childless . others delay child - bearing for so long that they are forced into the arms of the booming fertility industry . some choose not to work at all , representing a loss to collective investment in talent . but a choice must be made . a study of graduates of the university of chicago ' s booth school of business by marianne bertrand and her colleagues found that , ten to 16 years after graduating , just over half of those who had chosen to have children were working full - time . about a quarter were working part - time and just under a quarter had left the labour force . it also leaves many former high - flyers frustrated . another american study , this time of women who left work to have children , found that all but 7 % of them wanted to return to work . only 74 % managed to return , and just 40 % returned to full - time jobs .\nthe high places were hills where the canaanites set up altars and shrines to worship baal . the hebrews did not at first set up these shrines as blatant idolatry . rather , they looked at the way the pagans worshiped and said , \u201chey , that\u2019s a good idea - - let\u2019s bring that into our worship of yahweh . \u201d and so true worship was subtly polluted with worldly religion . you can readily see how this is a danger in our day .\n( 1 ) obedience to god\u2019s word . \u201c [ asa ] commanded judah to seek the lord god of their fathers and to observe the law and commandment\u201d ( 2 chron . 14 : 4 ; see 15 : 3 , 4 ) . there is no such thing as revival among god\u2019s people without a return to his word as the basis for life and conduct . in fact it\u2019s safe to say that your spiritual health today is in direct proportion to how well you understand and obey the word of god . please note that i did not say just \u201chow well you understand the word , \u201d but rather , \u201chow well you understand and obey , \u201d because knowledge without obedience leads to delusion ( james 1 : 22 ) .\nthe single best yardstick for measuring a person\u2019s likely life span is education . john rowe , a health - policy professor at columbia university and a former ceo of aetna , says , \u201cif someone walked into my office and asked me to predict how long he would live , i would ask two things : what is your age , and how many years of education did you receive ? \u201d\npeople underestimate inflation ( rising prices of goods and services , especially health care costs ) . if they see they have income from social security and a pension plan , combined with a small investment portfolio , and it appears these sources will provide an income to cover their current expenses , this may provide a false sense of security about the success of retiring early . however , pensions and social security have little or no adequate cost of living adjustments , so retirees see themselves losing purchasing power and growing \u201cpoorer\u201d each year . the additional investment portfolio must be adequate to cover expenses plus inflation adjustments on the income from the pension and social security .\nthe faithfulness of god in the midst of present trials is further evidence of god\u2019s faithfulness in the future . this is what paul spoke of in the fifth chapter of his epistle to the romans : \u201c\nthe expansion of higher education has also boosted job prospects for women , improving their value on the job market and shifting their role models from stay - at - home mothers to successful professional women . the best - educated women have always been more likely than other women to work , even after having children . in 1963 , 62 % of college - educated women in the united states were in the labour force , compared with 46 % of those with a high school diploma . today 80 % of american women with a college education are in the labour force compared with 67 % of those with a high school diploma and 47 % of those without one .\nhow does not a single community in south carolina make the list ? it ' s one of the most affordable places to live with mild weather and a friendly tax environment . quality of life is fantastic in plenty of locations . fine with me . . . less crowding .\ntrue , a guided deer hunt for a trophy buck on select ground can cost a small fortune . but joe hunter can also take a vacation day from work , grab his rifle and head to the wildlife management area down the road with reasonable hopes of returning home with a deer in his truck .\nthe good news is , even a small - time manager can improve his or her hunting with the addition of food plots , and good plots can be established with minimal equipment . it\u2019s simply a matter of how hard you\u2019re willing to work on them .\nthe framers would be aghast at the idea of a small cadre of unelected potentates lording it over the body politic for decades . when the constitution was written , no one could have anticipated how much life span would increase , nor how much power the supreme court would accrue . if democracy is to remain vibrant as society ages , campaign laws must change to help challengers stand a chance versus incumbents , and the constitution must be amended to impose a term limit on the supreme court , so confirmation as a justice stops being a lifetime appointment to royalty .\nif you really want to get a look at the bucks in your area as the rut is closing in , it ' s hard to beat putting a camera over an active scrap . in fact , i ' ve had moderate success creating my own mock scrapes using nothing more than a sharp stick , an overhanging branch and a little pee ( deer or human , seems not to matter ) .\nas longevity increases , so too does the number of living grandparents . families that once might have had one \u201coldest old\u201d relative find themselves with three or four , all expecting care or money . at the same time , traditional family trees are being replaced with diagrams that resemble maps of the london underground . will children of blended families feel the same obligation to care for aging stepparents as they feel for biological parents ? just the entry of the phrase birth parent into the national lexicon suggests the magnitude of the change .\nthe question , \u201chow can a good god allow the righteous to suffer ? \u201d reveals several fallacies in our thinking . the first is the assumption that suffering is always evil and therefore irreconcilable with god\u2019s goodness . the second is a failure to understand righteousness , so far as it relates to the saint , the true child of god . in answer to the problem of pain , this psalm forces us to take another look at our definition of good , lest we accuse god of being the author of evil by allowing us to suffer . let those who suffer look to this psalm for a word of instruction .\na pastor\u2019s wife reported that she was on a search for such easy answers one morning as she sat with thousands of others to listen to a retired missionary , a spiritual veteran near 80 . but what she heard was not an easy answer . rather , it was a profound principle stated as a metaphor which influenced her inner life with god from that moment on . she heard the old man quietly say , \u201cuntended fires soon die and become just a pile of ashes\u201d ( gail macdonald , high call , high privilege , pp . 17 -

80 % . in planning for retirement , what life expectancy should the average person use to make sure they have saved enough ? 85 for women , and 80 for men . should attracting more retirees be a priority for local government and if yes what should they do ? it really depends on which local government we are talking about . for areas lack of other business opportunities , senior living can become a revenue center . with more retirees coming to the town , their spending can generate many job opportunities for the local economy . in the meantime , retirees do not add any burden to local school systems , which is a usually a big ticket item for the local government .\nat the outset of his struggle asaph assumed that affliction was inappropriate for the righteous . furthermore he believed that adversity was evil . if the consequence of sin is judgment and suffering , then how could adversity possibly have a beneficial effect in the life of the saint ? the success of sinners and the suffering of saints was a problem too great for the mind of the psalmist to grasp ; but when he worshipped god , asaph came to understand the blessing adversity had been in his life . on the other hand he was able to see that affluence had been detrimental to the wicked .\nmost leasing agreements are arranged on a dollars -

13 had existed at the time , this definitely would have gotten that rating .\noregon , 1980 : jane , elaine and louise are all feeling the effects of inflation and cannot afford , as the title states , the high cost of living . jane cannot afford a babysitter or get married and if she wants privacy with her boyfriend , she has to sleep in the car . even worse , her war veteran father comes to live with her to turn her life upside down . louise lives a happy life with her veterinarian husband , albert . she runs an antique shop on the side , but since it doesn ' t take in any profit , the irs considers it a hobby . she needs to come up with the money to keep it going , or she will be trouble with the irs . elaine ' s husband has left her for another woman and without any money . she is in a constant struggle with banks , power companies , and gas stations . she needs money to get by and also catches the eye of police officer jack . the local mall is having a contest that features a giant money ball that states it will help fight the inflation . elaine comes up with a plan to steal the . . .\nyes , the american hunter\u2019s love for deer hunting \u2013 whitetail deer hunting in particular \u2013 has fueled an economic engine that\u2019s kept companies like realtree going over the years . and that\u2019s largely why we\u2019ve compiled this \u201chow to deer hunt\u201d guide . you may be a grown woman , embarking on your first ever hunting season , with no clue how to begin . or you might\u2019ve started hunting back when \u201cjust seeing a deer track was something to talk about . \u201d\ndroppings . this is easy enough to figure out . the freshness and amount of them will give you a clue to the number of deer living in a particular area . the size of the dropping tells a lot about the size of the deer that left them . large clumps indicate that a large deer is in the area , and because mature bucks often defecate as soon as they leave their beds , near a thicket will give you an idea where they might be bedded and the direction they are traveling from their bed .\n( 3 ) the theology reflected in verse 11 is not one that is pagan in origin , but it is decidedly that of an israelite . when would a pagan refer to only one god , as opposed to many gods ? it was israel\u2019s god who was known as \u201cgod\u201d and the \u201cmost high\u201d ( v . 11 ) .\nyou have longer to cover your own health insurance . medicare is not available for individuals until age 65 , even though you could draw social security as early as age 62 ( 60 if you are a widow or widower ) . if you leave employment , lose your health insurance and expect to cover that cost on your own , you will significantly deplete your retirement savings on that cost alone . depending on what happens with health care , working for an employer that provides health insurance , even for a few more years , might be your best option for retirement .\nthe seeking and chasing phase is the ideal time to employ calling tactics , particularly during the early stages of the phase . with competition for available does high , bucks are far more willing to respond to calling and rattling . grunt calls mixed with doe bleats can be dynamite . antler rattling simulates a fight between bucks over a hot doe , and can draw in bucks from long distances .\nacross the country yesterday , hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in small towns and big cities to march and voice their opposition to the trump administration\u2019s immigration policies .\nif trail cameras have had the greatest impact on how we hunt over the past decade , the transformation of the modern compound bow probably ranks a close second if you ' re a bowhunter . today ' s compound bows are far more efficient , accurate and full of features than those of just a few years ago .\n\u201cseeking the lord\u201d is a major theme in these chapters ( and in all of 1 & 2 chron . ; see 14 : 4 , 7 ; 15 : 2 , 4 , 12 , 13 , 15 ; 16 : 12 ) . the hebrew word literally means to trample under foot ; the picture is that of frequenting a place so often that you \u201cbeat a path\u201d there . the verb has the nuance of seeking with care and of inquiring after knowledge , insight , or advice on a problem . so the idea is carefully to pursue the lord as the source of all wisdom and holiness . from chapters 14 and 15 we can see five strands of what it means to seek the lord :\nhow to hunt : the best tactics for hunting these post - rut deer are of the low - impact variety . scout food sources from afar before making a plan to hunt them . as in the early season , your best chance of taking a deer off a food source in the post - rut period is the first time you hunt the location . so make it count .\nto continue with this theme of \u201ctime and interest , \u201d many individuals are intimidated by investments , and either avoid them or invest too conservatively , thereby not getting a high enough rate of \u201cinterest . \u201d this eliminates or reduces the second advantage of interest . many retirement plans now offer an age - based investment option . pick one that fits your age and seek the help of an investment advisor .\nthe key to successfully hunting public lands is to determine from the outset what you\u2019re after . of course , whitetails have to live in the area . that\u2019s a prerequisite regardless . but if you\u2019re specifically looking to tag a big , old buck , you are usually going to seek out areas that are more remote and difficult to access . but if you simply want to spend a few days in the woods and have a reasonable expectation of killing a deer , you usually have more options . here\u2019s how to narrow things down .\nthe sufferings of the psalmist were not god\u2019s hand of judgment , as asaph had too hastily concluded , but his loving hand , a course in god\u2019s school of suffering . he did not intend to drive asaph away , but to draw him to himself . in all of his trials god never left his side . he was guiding and guarding him throughout his ordeal . asaph\u2019s experience of god\u2019s care in the present brought assurance of his continued care and fellowship in the future , no matter how limited his understanding of this might be .\nthis was the policy of high - ranking officers on the spot , not because they were trying to be cruel but for three reasons : hope for france was essentially lost , the french military in the area was in such disarray that its policy about evacuation was unknown , and the ships evacuating men were british . churchill was strongly in favor of taking the french off the beaches to encourage france to keep fighting . some french officers made the heroic decision that they would not retreat and would cover their allies\u2019 escape to fight another day .\ndon ' t hang them too high . remember , deer aren ' t as tall as most humans . try to aim the camera at your waist from a distance of about seven yards . this should get most deer . if you have the camera set over a mineral site , aim the camera on a downward angle by wedging a stick behind the camera .\nthe good news is , even a small - time manager can improve his or her hunting with the addition of food plots , and good plots can be established with minimal equipment . it\u2019s simply a matter of how hard you\u2019re willing to work on them . here\u2019s a look at the general types of food plots , and who should consider planting them .\nclinical assistant professor of accounting information systems in the joseph m . katz graduate school of business at the university of pittsburgh\ni have chosen to title the theme of verses 13 and 14 in such a way as to emphasize a very important fact . the thoughts with which the psalmist toyed for a time were never shared until after he had seen how sinful they were . to put it more bluntly , asaph knew when to keep quiet . he did not share the soul - stretching questions of his heart until after he had found the answer to them . how often , in the name of honesty ( or , more piously , a \u201cprayer request\u201d ) we share unsettling questions and problems , only to create difficulties for others . i am deeply impressed with the honesty of the psalmist on the one hand and his sense of discretion on the other . when the confession of his sins could aid his fellow - saints , he did so , but when this would only tempt others , he agonized alone , until he had the answer he sought .\npsalm 73 divides nearly evenly into two parts . verses 1 - 15 depict the trial of the psalmist\u2019s faith when he observes the blessing of the wicked . verses 16 - 28 describe the triumph of asaph\u2019s faith , when he turns from protest to praise , from doubt to the declaration of the goodness of god .\nin my opinion , the american church has gone crazy with methods , but we\u2019re anemic when it comes to trusting in the living god . i have to be careful preparing a sermon every week . it\u2019s easy to use a method rather than to seek the lord and call upon him to anoint his word . it\u2019s possible to have a good method for a quiet time or for witnessing or church growth , and subtly to fall prey to trusting the method rather than in god himself . learn from asa : build your army , but don\u2019t trust it ; acknowledge your own weakness and trust in the lord .\nwhen it comes to selecting the right pack , size should be your first concern . with the gear most whitetail hunters carry , having a pack that offers at least 1 , 200 cubic inches of pack space is a must ; if you\u2019re one who tends to be gear heavy , packs of up to 2 , 000 cubic inches are even better . when you start piling in water , food , rainwear , jacket , rattling antlers , calls , camera , flashlight and all the other odds and ends we haul to the woods , the right pack with enough small pockets that allow you to organize and retrieve gear with as little movement as possible can be a plus while on stand . skip the cheap ones , too . for just a few extra bucks you can get a high - quality , comfortable pack that will last season after season . there are tons of pack options available today , but for overall quality it\u2019s hard to beat what tenzing , alps , badlands and easton have to offer .\na new comedy for everyone who ever wanted to do to the system what the system ' s been doing to them .\nscope . a budget deer rifle can still provide a lifetime of outstanding performance . but your scope is very much a get - what - you - pay - for piece of equipment . the advice outlined by brian strickland about binoculars in the optics section above goes doubly true for scopes . you don\u2019t have to take out a second mortgage , but understand that it\u2019s common for a good rifle scope to cost as much as the rifle you\u2019re pairing it with .\ngregg easterbrook is a contributing editor of the atlantic . he is the author of the leading indicators and the king of sports : football\u2019s impact on america .\nis a witty , engaging piece of jazzy fusion that surely ranks its composer as the mancini of the fusion generation . the williams soundtrack to\ni\u2019ve known people who emphasize bible knowledge , but they don\u2019t allow the word to confront their sin . invariably , they\u2019re arrogant and not growing in godliness . on the other hand , i\u2019ve known christians whose lives had all sorts of problems because they didn\u2019t even know what the bible says about how we are to live as god\u2019s people . they were disobedient out of ignorance .\nthe wealthy were not only wicked , they were also popular and prominent . they had little trouble gathering a large following , which was yet another source of the psalmist\u2019s distress . verses 10 and 11 are difficult to interpret , consequently there is disagreement among bible students as to exactly what is said . while the specifics of the expressions used here may be uncertain , the overall activity is clear and , i think , a matter of general agreement . 123 the wicked who prospered gathered others about themselves who had also tasted the \u201cgood life\u201d ( they had \u201cdrunk waters in abundance , \u201d v . 10 ) and wished to imitate the wicked both in principle and practice . thus , they went so far as to say , \u201chow can god know ? does the most high have knowledge ? \u201d ( v . 11 ) . 124\nlock - on stands are the most common and simplest available today , and for the hunter on a budget , the most affordable as well . they secure to the tree with high - strength belts or chains and must be hauled into place with the use of screw -

the 1960s . he is regarded as one of the most prolific comedians in tamil cinema . he acted in over 1 , 000 films from 1958 to 2008 , performing in a variety of roles as comedian , lead roles , supporting actor and antagonist . he has also acted in telugu , hindi and kannada films . nagesh ' s style of comedy was largely inspired by hollywood actor jerry lewis . similarities between nagesh and lewis earned nagesh the sobriquet\njerry lewis of india\n.\nnagesh was born as cheyur krishna rao nageshwaran to krishna rao and rukmaniamma . he was born in dharapuram , now in tiruppur district , tamil nadu . while his school records give his date of birth as 8 february 1931 , and his passport reads 27 august 1933 , according to his elder brother\u2019s wife he was born on maha navami ( saraswati pooja ) .\nhe left dharapuram at an early age and moved to madras city in search of a career . his roommates , the writer vaali and director sridhar , later became established themselves as prominent personalities in the tamil cinema field . he worked as a clerk in the indian railways .\nearly in his life , he saw a tamil play , kamba ramayanam , enacted by his colleagues , and felt that he could do a good job . he persuaded the secretary of the railway ' s cultural association to give him the role of a man suffering from stomach pain . mgr , then chief guest , seeing this play , in his speech praised nagesh for his performance . from then onwards , nagesh played small roles in various drama troupes .\nin 1958 , producer balaji spotted nagesh and gave him his first break in a film called manamulla marudhaaram . the film did not do well at the box office . moreover , nagesh had only a small role to play in the movie . in 1960 , nagesh made his debut in kannada with makkala rajya .\nnagesh won critical acclaim for his performance in the 1961 movie thayilla pillai . but it was his 1962 hit nenjil or aalayam which launched his career in the tamil film industry . nagesh was seen playing the lead role in server sundaram ( 1964 ) directed by the legendary krishnan panju . the movie was a remarkable hit and proved to be a great turning point in his career .\nthe song from this film ,\navalukenna . . . azhagiya mugam . . .\nwritten by vaali was a big hit .\nserver sundaram marked nagesh ' s rise to prominence . the film was about a restaurant waiter ,\nserver\nsundaram , who struggles to make his ends meet . he is in love with radha ( k . r . vijaya ) , the daughter of the owner of the hotel in which he is working . the film is about how with the aid of his rich friend raghavan ( r . muthuraman ) , server sundaram gets a chance to act in movies and eventually , emerges as a rich and prominent actor . however , he is heartbroken when he learns that radha is actually in love with raghavan . while nagesh drove viewers to laughter with his comical antics in the early scenes , his sensitive portrayal of a failed lover in the second half of the movie too earned widespread appreciation . the rags - to - riches story in the movie was actually based on nagesh ' s own life . with server sundaram , nagesh earned critical acclaim for versatility .\nthe success of server sundaram ensured that nagesh was one of the most sought - after actors in the 1960s . at the height of his career , he acted in as much as 35 movies in a single calendar year , at one time shooting six movies simultaneously . he appeared in a cameo in the 1965 mythological thiruvilayadal in which he portrayed the poor , simpleton temple priest dharumi . the soliloquy which dharmi indulges in , within the temple precincts , is regarded as one of the unforgettable scenes of tamil cinema . he followed the success with supporting roles in films as kaadhalikka neramillai where he wants to direct a film under his own production house , oho productions ( but until the climax he does not make a film ) , anbe vaa , shanthi nilayam , pattanathil bhootham and vietnam veedu . he played the role of mohan in major chandrakanth which was a popular hit and won for its lead actor sundararajan the nickname\nmajor\nsundararajan . his portrayal of the detestable pimp vaidhy in thillana mohanambal was noted for the way in which nagesh blended humour with villainy . in most of his comic films , nagesh paired with the actress manorama . in 1967 , nagesh acted in his first hindi movie , farz\napart from performing in supporting roles , nagesh also acted as the main protagonist in a number of movies . server sundaram is one of them . another performance which is well - remembered is his role as the poor struggling orphan maadhu in ethir neechal . his sensitive and sympathetic portrayal of maadhu evoked comparisons with top character actors of the day . jayakanthan chose nagesh to play the lead in the 1966 film yaarukkaha azhudhan , overlooking sivaji ganesan .\nmanorama was paired with nagesh regularly in films with m . g . ramachandran in lead between 1960 to 1970 like thaali bagyam , vettaikaran , en kadamai , kanni thai , thayin madiyil , kadhal vaganam , chandrodhyam , anbe vaa , padagotti , panathotaam , kaavalkaran , kadhal vagahnam , vivasaaye ,

be actress who is secretly adored by the cop , and a romantic , a big - time gang boss . will their next christmas be an erotic one ?\nhappy ero christmas is a south korean movie that stars cha tae - hyun as a police officer who falls in love with a young woman ( kim seon - a ) who works in a local bowling alley . unfortunately , the young woman has also caught the eye of a local gangster ( park yeong - gyu ) , a criminal that tae - hyun\u2026\nhave all your christmas shopping finally sorted ? looking for a nice movie to chill out to and get yourself into the christmas spirit ? as you may know , the korean culture centre has open film nights every other thursday evenings . the last screening of the year was happy ero christmas . now , from the name , it suggests x - rated scenes ( as ero = erotic ) , so to be watching this kind of film in a room filled with strangers promises to be an awkward experience ! but i only remember one overly awkward scene ( near the beginning , gets it out of the way asap ) which everyone just laughed off awkwardly . the rest of the film was actually pretty funny and entertaining . check out the trailer :\ncinema on the park\u2019s 2012 lineup closed out with the wonderfully titled \u2018happy ero christmas\u2019 , a movie which pretty much demands a viewing just based on its name alone . the only movie by director lee geong - dong , the movie stars cha tae - hyeon ( speedy scandal / \uacfc\uc18d\uc2a4\uce94\ub4e4 ) as a down on his luck patrolman and kim seon - ah ( she\u2019s on duty / \uc7a0\ubcf5\uadfc\ubb34 ) as a shy bowling alley attendant , whom as with any korean romantic comedy , somehow have to end up together .\neven more incomprehensible is the second story , which is told through small episodes throughout the film and is the filmmaker ' s attempt to fulfill the\nero\npart of the title . after overhearing an old man rhapsodize about the sexual side of the holidays , two teenagers attempt to find ways to\nget some\non christmas .\n\u2018happy ero christmas\u2019 seems somewhat confused as to what kind of romantic comedy it wants to be though . check out any plot synopsis on the internet , and it\u2019ll no doubt explain that it\u2019s the story of a patrolman & a gangster vying for the affections of the girl who works at the local bowling alley . however director geong - dong sometimes seems like he wants to create an ensemble piece , similar to the british movie \u2018love actually\u2019 which came out the same year , by introducing us to a selection of other characters as well .\nthe rabbit and i were venturing to the new seoul central library to return my dvds from last week and she picked - up this little gem . i saw the\nhappy christmas\nportion of the title , and i had a vague flash - back to some korean\nlove actually\nclone from christmas of 2007 - my first holiday season away from home . i didn ' t get to see it then , so i thought this might be a good time to make amends .\nperhaps it\u2019s representative of movies from that era of korean cinema in the early 2000s , when it was still finding its feet to establish the look and feel that it does today . certainly later romantic comedy efforts that combine action and humour , such as \u2018my girlfriend is an agent / 7\uae09 \uacf5\ubb34\uc6d0\u2019 , balance the comedy and fisty cuffs in a much more appropriate manner than their earlier counterparts . all in all \u2018happy ero christmas\u2019 , while by no means essential viewing , is still a pleasant enough diversion , and where else can you find a movie that combines the festive season with adult movie making ! ?\nso , apparently ,\nero\nis konglish for eroticism . hey , everyone - i ' m going to go home to watch an erotic holiday video with my wife ! it pays to look into these things before introducing them to one ' s co - workers .\nsangdoo , a teenager looking to get lucky over christmas , gets his friend to introduce him to a girl in their school . only to realise that he has feelings for her .\nbesides the fact that there are holiday songs in the background of almost every scene , and that min - kyong ' s birthday falls on christmas , there is very little reason why the story has to take place during the holidays . as the story wears on , the artificial christmas context gets to feel more and more like decorations placed around a fairly run - of - the - mill gangster comedy .\ni pretty much \u2018nothing\u2019 this movie . the gag - humor was gag - inducing in the worst ways so it\u2019s a terrible comedy . the acting is blah , with a side of a story that is just duh . the title ' s mention of \u2018christmas\u2019 is just that . an insignificant word in a title . this movie has nothing to do with christmas , other than i\u2019m sure it was released relatively near december 25th in 2003 . what a confusing theatrical experience that must have been .\nsimultaneously telling two romantic stories set over the holidays ,\nchristmas\nfeels like two films in one . with one story being sweet and the other raunchy , the movie seems to be trying to cover all the commercial bases rather than make a narrative point .\n( comedic cheese with a surprising heart ) . he ' s unrecognizable behind the rudolph nose , but trust me - he ' s a likeable cat . christmas and cha tae - hyun - how could one go wrong ? the weather is getting colder and halloween is over , so why not ?\nafter\nmy sassy girl\n, you ' d think every cha movie would be at par or even better than msg but nooo . . . . plot was really , really bad . . . like there was no story at all . what ' s so erotic with christmas ? ? ? ? ? disappointing , really .\n) , an employee of the neighborhood bowling alley , and falls for her at first sight . his attempts to woo her , however , are hardly noticeable and even seem to be gloomy as the boss of the local gang sang -

crew attempting to make the titular adult movie suggested in the title , the hilariously named \u2018happy sexmas\u2019 . while each of these other plot threads sound promising , they seem to meaninglessly meander in and out of the main plot concerning tae - hyeon and seon - ah , so that in the end they don\u2019t feel so much a part of the movies flow as they do a distraction to it .\nanyway , we take the movie home and then then the next day i ' m having a conversation with my co -

hyeon was still being typecast as the underachiever with a heart of gold , and in this particular movie he seems to be playing a carbon copy of his character from \u2018my sassy girl\u2019 more than ever . still , considering it was the kind of goofy charm that he pulls of so well that lead to his popularity , that\u2019s not necessarily such a bad thing .\nstill , despite the somewhat shoehorned fashion these sub - plots appear , they do earn points for providing some of the funniest stand alone moments of the movie . the tale the two teenage boys share with each other of how fishermen keep away sexual frustration while at sea had about half the audience laughing ( well\u2026possibly just me & my friend ) , while the rest shifted a little uncomfortably in their seats , and one of the beauty pageant members special talent with an egg is also a moment of comedy gold . ultimately though , these elements drive the movie to a bloated 110 minute run - time , several of which could have benefited from being left on the cutting room floor .\nthankfully the central plot is competently handled , taking place in a small hot - spring town , the local gangster park yeong -

narrative of abbas kiarostami\u2019s docufiction ten moves along as a countdown . but , a countdown , as would happen in a kiarostami film , that leads to no spectacular , climactic end . for the filmmaker has always been concerned with the minutia of everyday life , people over dramatic storytelling , and the thin line between illusion and reality on screen over flashy camera tricks or groundbreaking filmic techniques . and thus , ten stands as perhaps his most bare bones film yet \u2013 at least , on the surface . in his first foray into digital , he places two cameras on the hood of a car simulating hidden \u201cdash - cams\u201d and alternates between two static angles over the course of the film\u2019s runtime ( with one notable exception ) . if taste of cherry found the director stretching the use of a vehicle in motion for a viable set , ten is the culmination of his vehicular - obsessed cinema , never once capturing footage from outside the car . so , what could kiarostami possibly achieve within the confines of the front seat of an automobile driving through the streets of tehran ? as typical of the works of this iranian master , there\u2019s much more going on in the film than what simply appears in the frame .\nread empire ' s review of star wars : episode v \u2014 the empire strikes back . buy the film now\nthe best that cinema has had to offer since 2000 as picked by 177 film critics from around the world .\nif anyone were to ask me what i did as a director on this film , i ' d say ,\nnothing , and yet if i didn ' t exist , this film wouldn ' t have existed .\nbegins with a beautiful and articulate female driver ( the beguiling mania akbari ) picking up her young son from school . after boldly revealing in a less than harmonious exchange that the woman has divorced her husband , the film goes on to meditatively explore the relationships that develop between the driver and her disparate passengers over the course of ten brief but intricately mapped -

line we see in the film had to have taken a lot of preparation . i also think the director deliberately chose scenery to accommodate the backdrop of the film , and he must have driven around teheran constantly to figure out which images to put in the background . i think the scenes with the murals of new arch - conservative president are very telling .\nten\nseems to have a lot of messages under the radar , including the subversive powers of all governments ( certainly including our own in america ) to censor art . i think the relationship between the mother and her son is a very poignant one , and it shows how children and adults simply live in different spheres of the universe . film is strikingly similar in some aspects to american independent filmmaker rob nilsson ' s film\nsignal 7\nwhich came out over 20 years ago .\nsuch questions aren ' t uncommon with kiarostami ' s films . for many directors , achieving this kind of naturalism would be victory enough . but kiarostami ' s interests are vaster , his talents more prodigious . his project is nothing less than a redefinition of how we see movies . ten represents his most radical interrogation of authorial power yet , as the epigraph above suggests . the film questions the power relationships immanent in cinema : between the director and his actors , between the artist and his audience . centering as it does on a most banal activity - - driving - - ten also expands our notion of what is worthy of a filmmaker ' s gaze - - and , by definition , our attention .\nten is shot almost entirely with two fixed digital video cameras trained on the driver and passenger seat of a moving car . it is a film which presents itself with as little cinematic fuss as an episode of tv ' s marion and geoff . certainly it has much less obvious impact than a film with a similar driver - passenger theme : kiarostami ' s palme d ' or - winning taste of cherry . this has the similar sense of intimacy on the move , exploiting the car ' s singular potential as a partly private , partly public place .\na depiction of the off - screen relationship between the actors who play the newlyweds in the film zendegi va digar hich ( 1992 ) .\nbut ten has something taste of cherry didn ' t : a kind of\nwhat just happened ?\nfeeling that only hits you afterwards . it ' s a sense that you have witnessed something profoundly important happen in someone ' s life , without any close - ups or stirring music to help you realise it .\nthe true story of hossain sabzian that impersonated the director mohsen makhmalbaf to convince a family they would star in his so - called new film .\nthe film is very good , but , something is wrong with the dvd . i is only good for comuter not dvd player ! ! !\nvoted the most important director of the 1990s in an extensive poll of us critics , ten more than confirms iranian filmmaker abbas kiarostami\u0092s cinematic standing . the creator of such meticulous works as through the olive trees , the taste of cherry and the wind will carry us , ten offers a continuation and development of his perennial themes and distinctive visual aesthetic whilst also succeeding as a satisfying and hugely compelling human drama . set entirely within the single location of the car\u0092s interior and shot with just a handful of actors on digital video , kiarostami delivers a humane , emotive and intelligent analysis of contemporary life and a radical yet intimate exploration of the wondrous possibilities of the cinematic medium .\nthe film separates into 10 acts , with a countdown graphic that felt like something out of a student film . because the camera never leaves the dashboard of a mother ' s car ( played by mania akbari ) as hours and days pass , we do need that separator to avoid any confusion . the\u2026\ndespite its critical acclaim , i was uncertain approaching abbas kiarostami ' s ' ten ' . though filming entirely on intimate close - up in the front of a single taxicab seemed a striking and innovative approach to a film , i did feel it might end up being a limitation for the film , and that 90 minutes of front seat conversations might begin to grate a little . i needn ' t have worried . the film ' s stories are fully gripping - from that of mania akbari ' s unnamed taxi driver ( and single mother ) struggling to justify her divorce and remarriage to her son , to that of a cynical prostitute , and the relationship issues of akbari ' s frustrated sister , to mention a few . the acting is superbly naturalistic , and nowhere do the conversations feel at all forced or overstated . major issues in iranian society are covered in the dialogue - from islamic dress codes , to religious faith , the plight of modern iranian women , and more ; though they are woven wonderfully into the dialogue , so that they seem , as they rightly are in iranian society , the concerns of the people ( primarily the women ) of tehran . it ' s very rare that a film appears without fault , but the 90 minutes of ' ten ' are almost flawless . even the scene between akbari ' s driver , and a religion - focused elderly lady , which initially seems a little cliched , soon transforms into something more subtle and complex . for those seeking an honest , realist portrayal of iranian society that will provoke thought and entertain , or just looking for an innovative and absorbing cinema , i can ' t recommend ' ten ' highly enough .\nthanks for the fantastic write - up . ten is the only kiarostami movie i haven ' t seen , and i ' m not entirely sure why . from your description though , it seems like the only one of his non - koker films to resist abstraction . the end of taste of cherry being one of the most powerful and simultaneously frustrating conclusions .\nurltoken is an award -

up wouldn\u2019t have been possible prior to the advent of such digital technology . it even calls into question the role of a director as film enters its second century as a major narrative art form . kiarostami himself was rarely present on \u201cset\u201d during the shoot , subsequently creating the film from hours of footage in the editing room . in this way , it reveals its carefully planned structure as well as the director\u2019s insistence on obliterating the barrier between reality and fiction . akbari starring alongside her real son brings her own sense of what it means to be a woman to the film as a real - life activist and director herself . she\u2019s not , however , an archetype , and it\u2019s crucial to note there was a fair amount of ( loosely ) scripted material for these actors to perform . she changes her opinions throughout , has good and bad days with her volatile son , at once questions a prostitute\u2019s profession and then later echoes her advice when consoling a friend whose husband will leave her \u2013 in essence , through narrative fiction , kiarostami captures a slice of real life . it\u2019s especially refreshing from a group of people who aren\u2019t often given a voice so freely in their own country . ten may make no grand political or feminist statements , but its strength lies in this simplicity . women are people too \u2013 with feelings , fears , opinions , goals , dreams \u2013 and with his signature automobile setting , kiarostami provides them a safe place to freely express who they are .\nfilm making at its most minimal but with a narrative structure and convincing performances ( the child actor is amazing ) that belies the simplicity of two camera angles , no . . .\nthere ' s a universal appeal in ten and i wish i could say it ' s coming soon to a cinema near you . but the tabloids don ' t review iranian movies , the multiplexes don ' t show them and they ' re ignored by terrestrial tv and rarely shown on cable . but you can catch them at art centres and , thanks largely to ica and artificial eye , you can see them on video .\nis a very simple film on its surface , but its thematic and emotional depths are far more complex than its elegant formal minimalism would suggest . the film features ten conversations of varying lengths between a woman ( mania akbari ) and the various passengers she picks up while driving around tehran , including her seven - year - old son , her sister , some friends , and a few strangers who she gives rides to . kiarostami sets up a digital camera in the center of the car ' s dashboard , and alternates between shots angled at the driver and shots angled at her passenger . with only one exception \u2014 after she drops off a prostitute she ' d picked up , the camera watches out the front windshield as the prostitute walks away and picks up a client \u2014 there are only these two camera set - ups in the entire film , sometimes remaining trained on one face for extended period , sometimes switching back and forth between the two partipants in these discussions . it is an utterly basic formal structure , and yet the film is never less than enthralling , because its wide - ranging dialogues are so interesting , and the portrait it builds of an iranian woman ' s life is so compelling .\nkiarostami proves that you don ' t need a big budget to shoot a great film . this film is assembled entirely from the footage from two fixed cameras in the protaganist ' s car , one pointing at the driver ' s seat , and the other in the passenger seat . ten times she picks up a passenger ( sometimes a person we have already met ) and drives them through the streets of tehran . through their conversations , a deeply human picture emerges of the complexity of her life and that of her passengers . contrary to the description given , i ' d like to say that the woman is attractive but not beautiful . this accolade goes to her final passenger . the final scene , in which almost nothing happens , will rip your heart out . if you are a human being this film is one that will touch your heart with a deeper appreciation of what it means to be human . as such , it leaves you better than when you found it . watch it with a good friend .\nthanks a lot , sam . agreed that the formal device is pretty simple in itself and not necessarily unique to this film , but the rigorous way in which kiarostami uses it here is extraordinary .\nawful film , probably the worst i have ever seen . it ' s one of those artsy type films and it really wasn ' t for me . i was bored from start to finish .\nit goes without saying that any french film released in the mid - to late - sixties will welcome comparisons to the so - called new wave , but aside from a shared social conscience in a contemporary setting , semb\u00e8ne\u2019s film represents a work with a distinctly african voice . ( this is not to say , of course , that semb\u00e8ne would shy away from his influences \u2013 the french title la noire de\u2026 is an unmistakable reference to max oph\u00fcls\u2019 best - known film . ) and , it also marks the beginning of an exciting , decades - spanning career that helped jumpstart modern african cinema . it should come as no surprise , then , that a mid - twentieth century film hopping from africa to europe and then back again would be explicitly concerned with the aftereffects of colonialism on a ravaged continent .\nit attests to kiarostami ' s greatness that the most memorable scene in this movie preoccupied with form is a decidedly human one . late in ten , the driver ' s lovelorn friend makes a stunning revelation and sheds unhappy tears . quietly epiphanic and heartbreaking , the image sears itself into the consciousness - - an impact for which kiarostami modestly disclaims credit .\nin all my films , there are shots where the emotional impact goes beyond direction , triumphing over it , and the emotion becomes more powerful than cinema itself ,\nhe says in a director ' s statement for this film . such humility is precisely what makes his movies so momentous , and the experience of watching them so illuminating .\nthanks , vidal . i agree , it ' s stunning how sophisticated and complex this film is considering the utter simplicity of its form . there are so many layers and so many ideas within this deceptively basic framework .\nin his early films , kiarostami used stories of children to make social , if not political , points , thereby circumventing iran\u2019s harsh censorship laws . but ten is more direct in its social analysis , and was consequently the first of his films to be banned in the country \u2013 four of its sequences were judged unfit for public viewing . the women discuss issues such as discrimination , how they have no legal standing and how a woman can file for a divorce only when her husband has beaten her .\nhis newest movie is a dependably brainy provocation . aggressively minimalist but far from stingy with its gifts , ten is a disarmingly lifelike , yet formally rigorous , road movie . the premise is so simple , it ' s high concept : two digital video cameras affixed to a car ' s dashboard , one framing the driver , the other the passenger . the entire movie is comprised of conversations - - 10 in this case - - between the two , as the car navigates the eerily familiar streets of downtown tehran .\nthe film ' s artifice is perhaps most obvious in the first of the ten conversations , in which the driver picks up her precocious , angry son amin ( amin maher ) , who berates her for getting divorced and for not being a more dedicated mother . throughout this remarkable conversation , the camera remains trained on amin , privileging his perspective \u2014 it ' s not until this conversation is over , 15 minutes into the film , that akbari herself finally appears . much of the conversation is captured in unbroken single takes , with occasional cuts that are easily disguised by the jostling of the car ; it gives the impression of a single long shot , focused on this boy ' s face as he argues vehemently with his mother . the content of the conversation is unusually direct and adult for a fight between a mother and her young son , with amin telling her that she ' s selfish , that she shouldn ' t have divorced his father , that she only thinks of herself .\nkiarostami first filmed from the passenger seat of a vehicle in taste of cherry ( 1997 ) , the story of a truck driver who wants to commit suicide . ten grew out of kiarostami\u2019s discovery that a psychologist used a car for therapy sessions , as well as his realisation that the interior of a car is one of the few places in iran that is secluded enough for women to speak freely . he has also noted that the physi\u00adcal space of a car , in which the passengers do not face each other , encourages free talk .\nthis political subtext bubbled to the surface explosively when the cast and crew of aquarius staged a protest at the film\u2019s cannes premiere in may 2016 . placards that likened the imminent dismissal of then - president dilma rousseff and eventual rise of michel temer to a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat plunged the film\u2019s national release into controversy . critics of filho\u2019s own leftist leanings condemned the film and even called for boycotts , but others took solace in clara\u2019s bold defiance . before long aquarius \u2013 though never once explicitly referencing the specifics of brazil\u2019s political crisis \u2013 became an emblem of a nation in turmoil . in the same year that the western world endured brexit and the rise of trump , the thematic posture at the center of filho\u2019s film inevitably crossed international boundaries . in the u . s . liberal elitism came under fire throughout 2016 , and trump\u2019s eventual defeat of clinton ( for many , the embodiment of that very elitism ) seemed to signal the end of that ideology\u2019s cultural reign .\norson welles\u2019 game - changing fictional biopic , that managed to both launch his film career and ruin it at the same time ( turns out it\u2019s not a good idea to piss off powerful newspaper magnates by viciously satirising them to a mass audience ) . not only did he use impressive new film - making techniques that make it feel like a movie far younger than its 76 years , but its power - corrupts story still resonates loudly . now more than ever , in fact .\nirreverent city engineer behzad comes to a rural village in iran to keep vigil for a dying relative . in the meanwhile the film follows his efforts to fit in with the local community and how he changes his own attitudes as a result .\nabbas kairostami was the master of using experiments to tell humane stories - - here he tells of a liberal woman in iran . in 10 scenes , she is driving strangers and loved one places . it opens with a seventeen minute scene of her driving her angry , bitter young son . the conflict in this film comes from her divorce and remarriage , which has heavily affected the son . he never really overcomes it throughout the narrative of this film . she seems to come to an understanding that she is not going to change him given their society . there are several scenes ( 3 or 4 ) with the son , but all of the other scenes color the film so well because this woman drives other women . a\u2026\nthe sophomore feature of rising critic - turned - filmmaker kleber mendon\u00e7a filho \u2013 and first of his that i\u2019ve seen \u2013 is perhaps the defining film of the current transitional season between a globally destabilizing 2016 and a worryingly uncertain 2017 . for this american ( that is , a citizen of the united states ) approaching aquarius in the aftermath of a brutal election cycle , it\u2019s difficult not to view the film as a particularly profound statement on political and societal upheaval in our divided nation . but , what\u2019s perhaps even more astounding , then , is that aquarius is a brazilian film , resolutely concerned with the politics and culture of brazil . it\u2019s certainly a testament to the richness of filho\u2019s work that the implications are thus this far - reaching .\nhow two sibling indie film - makers with only a slick , sexy little crime film to their name ( bound ) created their own blockbuster sci - fi franchise . and opened up western audiences to the truth that kung - fu acrobatics are so much more fun than watching american or european muscle - men waving guns around . while also making everyone examine some fundamental philosophical questions about reality . thanks to the wachowskis , we all took the red pill , and we ' ve never regretted it since .\nif you\u2019ve been keeping up with the movies , you definitely know the protagonist\u2019s name is alice . but back when you were watching that original film for the first time , you wouldn\u2019t have known . nobody actually speaks her name at any point in the movie .\nthe controversy surrounding kubrick\u2019s pop - art visualisation of anthony burgess\u2019 dystopian mediation on violence and free will may have long - since subsided , but the film ' s no less powerful . especially that singin\u2019 in the rain sequence , which remains one cinema\u2019s most deeply upsetting .\nthese four spectacles proved , among many things , one peculiar aspect : kiarostami is the best director ever to film conversations and extraordinarily absorbing journeys inside cars . he is a fan of in - car scenes and the astonishing rural and natural landscapes surrounding the four wheels .\ncomprised of ten separate episodes , the film follows one woman ( mania akbari ) as she drives around conversing with the various people \u2013 mostly women \u2013 who populate the passenger seat of her car . in the first segment , we\u2019re introduced to the unnamed woman\u2019s son amin ( played by akbari\u2019s real - life son ) first as he climbs into the front seat of the car . for nearly fifteen minutes , the pair argues and shouts over each other , insulting and name - calling the other . we learn amin disapproves of his mother\u2019s decision to divorce his father , and he thus holds a very low opinion of her . akbari understandably defends herself , but amin won\u2019t have it . eventually , when the car slows , he opens the door and jumps out in anger . only once he\u2019s gotten out does the frame switch to the camera resting on akbari and we see our primary character for the first time .\nthe two best 2016 releases i caught this year were easily silence and toni erdmann . martin scorsese\u2019s religiously complex epic is his best film in over twenty years and one of the greatest and most honest filmic explorations of christianity that i\u2019ve seen . and , maren ade\u2019s outrageously beloved toni erdmann fortunately lived up to the hype . it was whip - smart , uncomfortably awkward , flat - out hilarious at times , and unexpectedly poignant in its denouement . sandra h\u00fcller and peter simonischek knocked it out of the park as the dysfunctional daughter and father at the film\u2019s center .\n, sung by s . p . balasubramaniam and swarnalatha , and tuned by well - known tamil film director , illayaraja , leads the bbc world service poll , which has attracted votes from 112 countries . so far , the most number of votes have been sent in from india .\nit\u2019s difficult to view aquarius divorced from the political climate in which it was written and released , and it\u2019s possible filho intended its reception to so astutely reflect its time . as with all politically or culturally relevant works of art , however , it may very well threaten the film\u2019s lasting impact . for now , it certainly stands as one of the year\u2019s finest . strip away the controversy it\u2019s generated , and aquarius is also a beautiful treatise on the power of memories . one of the film\u2019s recurring images reminded me of olivier assayas\u2019 equally affecting masterpiece summer hours . in that film assayas\u2019s camera lingered on heirlooms and paintings that served as capsules of a family\u2019s legacy \u2013 a fragile legacy forced to weather generational changes as a matriarch\u2019s progeny decide to transport these artifacts from their ancestral home to a museum , a decision imbued with implication but one assayas refuses to judge .\nthe resemblance between the two extends all the way to kiarostami ' s penchant for gnomic utterances :\nwe can never get close to the truth except through lying ,\ngoes one typical kiarostami nugget . hard to pin down , kiarostami ' s movies are never forbidding , something i admittedly can ' t say for godard . the equanimity of a true humanist flows through his work . ten may not be the masterpiece its admirers would like to think it is ( particularly when stacked up against kiarostami ' s previous achievements ) , but it ' s as gentle , intelligent , provocative , and radical as any movie you ' ll likely see this year .\neven before the exhausting overuse of said technique had become clich\u00e9 , yang seemed to have already offered his own twist with the terrorizers , which weaves three or four separate narrative threads together through coincidence and most often inference . this last point is crucial in understanding why yang and hou remain such influential figures in film ; viewer participation is a must when engaging the art of either one . though yang forces his characters into each other\u2019s spheres with one precipitating act , the specifics of these accidental connections remain alarmingly oblique and ultimately incomplete . in the film\u2019s stunning opening sequence alone , we\u2019re left wondering who delivers the scene - setting voiceover , who\u2019s lying dead in the middle of the street , and who\u2019s responsible for the shootout that sets each of these strands in motion . that yang\u2019s film never really answers any of these questions may prove frustrating for some viewers , but for others it\u2019s all part of the fascinating puzzle he creates .\nwelcome to simply home entertainment , your home for classic film , tv , special interest and documentary on dvd . we stock the biggest releases from the big screen alongside specialist film and documentary . love tv ? make sure you check out our tv drama dvds where you can find the most recent hits alongside popular tv from the 60s , 70s and beyond . reminiscing about old songs that you don\u2019t hear on the radio anymore ? we have a huge selection of cds from easy listening and rock & roll , to jazz , classical and everything in -

up , ed . this is easily my favorite kiarostami movie , if not my favorite movie from iran . it just impresses me how much is expressed with so little ; a fine example of why more cinematic and editing techniques are not necessary in order to make a film\nsay\nsomething .\nmore than a decade before fellow countryman jafar panahi made the wonderful , yet shamefully underrated taxi , abbas kiarostami took his trademark cardriving scenes and put them into one film . with a mere two camera positions he shows the daily happenings of a woman , beautifully portrayed by mania akbari , and the people around her .\nyes , it most certainly is an exceptional film , one of the director ' s finest , and as captivating a look into the sociological moorings of iranian society as any other work . the device used her is not new ( we saw it used by kiaromstami in his previous a taste of cherry and by jarmusch and others ) but it ' s unique in the all - encompassing manner in which it ' s presented here . i applaud you for probing beneath the surface of the device and the miniminalism to unearth the prevalent thees , male domination among them . any viewing of this film should include a reading of this masterful review afterwards .\nthe following nine episodes play out like this with casual and believably natural discussions between the driver and her passengers . over the course of the film we meet her sister , two friends with similar relationship issues , an elderly woman she picks up and takes to mosque , a prostitute who she picks up by mistake , and her son a few more times . slowly , a portrait of the state of women in iran forms as topics of sexuality , marriage , careers , and societal expectations regarding roles realistically surface during these several conversations . there are no men in the film \u2013 save for akbari\u2019s preteen son who stands in for traditional male dominance \u2013 so the film\u2019s voice decidedly belongs to women . it\u2019s a welcome change of perspective for the director who hasn\u2019t dealt explicitly with the role of women in his native country or female protagonists in his work in general despite the daring efforts of his former prot\u00e9g\u00e9 jafar panahi to do just that with his the circle only two years prior .\nlike bowie\u2019s blackstar , akerman\u2019s final film no home movie is destined to remain inextricably tied to the singular filmmaker\u2019s death in all future discourse . a mere two months following the film\u2019s premiere , akerman was found dead \u2013 the media reporting it a suicide . given this staggering filmic essay\u2019s intensely personal subject matter , it\u2019s no stretch to link akerman\u2019s passing with the inevitable , yet devastating outcome of this unplanned , unscripted work . from over twenty hours of footage shot over the course of the last years of her mother\u2019s life , akerman pieces together intimate filmed conversations between she and her mother natalia . most of these take place within the confines of natalia\u2019s brussels flat , but akerman also includes long distance interactions captured via skype as well as marathon uninterrupted takes of barren landscapes or inert objects to underscore the pains of the passage of time as only she could . it\u2019s fitting that her final film , then , is also expressly concerned with how time affects her camera\u2019s subject , but it\u2019s also shockingly intimate in its execution .\nwow . at first the digital format was a little grating but it grew on me . the vignette format reminded me of an avant - garde short i watched at the wexner back in february , just with the countdowns signaling passage of time and changing of subject ( vignettes ) . i ' m only three films deep in his catalogue , but ten seems like yet another example of kiarostami being an incredible filmmaker , and an important social figure in iran ( - ian cinema ) . apparently the conversation in a car - format was supposed to be referential to his own established style , but i ' ve only seen two of his films so it wasn ' t as apparent as it would ' ve been to someone more acclimated to his style ! lol , oops .\nthe modernism , meanwhile , is felt not only in its squib - heavy bloodletting , but also the way it handles the gangster flick itself . back in the genre ' s heyday , hays code restrictions ensured it could only dole out rise - and - fall tales which established in no uncertain terms that the mob was a seething , violent force of corruption that a good society would always quell . here , though , we had an italian - american film - maker ( the first to make an american gangster film ) showing the mafia as something , if not quite sympathetic , certainly more human ; an organisation which is very much the product of society , rather than simply a malevolent , morally alien force .\nabbas kiarostami , best established of iranian directors and the mentor of several younger filmmakers , is the master of the talking - and - driving movie . he shared the palme d ' or at cannes four years ago for taste of cherry , in which the protagonist drives around the outskirts of teheran trying to persuade a variety of people to bury him after he has committed suicide . in ten , his wonderfully nuanced new picture , at once simple and technically bold , a middle - class woman ( mania akbari ) makes 10 journeys around the inner city . all around her is urban bustle , seen and heard , but the camera never shifts from a position near the middle of the dashboard . the lens is aimed either at her or her passenger , there are no two - shots and we never see the car from the outside .\nso for some people , this movie is still too difficult . i can only say that it is a very remarkable film , one of the very best of the year - remarkable for its strenuous technical simplicity , for its superbly intelligent acting and for the extraordinary , almost unmediated access it appears to give to the lives and thoughts of real , modern women in iran .\nyou ' ve got to hand it to the coen brothers . not only did they make the funniest movie of the \u201990s ( pretty much ) \u2014 which has since spawned a genuine film cult \u2014 they also managed to construct a kidnap mystery in which the detective isn ' t a detective and nobody was actually kidnapped . with bowling , marmots and a urine - stained rug .\nrobert zemeckis\u2019 affable stroll through some of america\u2019s most turbulent decades , as seen through the childlike eyes of the simple - but - successful forrest \u2014 the role which earned tom hanks his second oscar in two years . and it says a lot about the film\u2019s emotional heft that it managed to win an oscar itself , when it was in competition with both pulp fiction and the shawshank redemption \u2026"]}

length gold , sequin gown and feather headdress \u2015 recited a poem that discussed her childhood dreams , tainted by the societal dictate that fat women don\u2019t deserve to feel sexy or be seen . \u201ci stood behind this very curtain and curtailed tears of joy for younger me who thought she\u2019d never see a stage because she did not deserve eyes to look at her , \u201d she said .\nwhile amalric may direct and play the lead role , it ' s the girls , with their heady blend of power and vulnerability , who emerge as the real stars . their faces and bodies tell their own story as their problems come to the fore . still , they never lose their power to entertain and titillate . it ' s something that films like burlesque would do well to heed , if girls dancing on screen are ever to become as fashionable as they were back when monroe was serenading presidents .\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\nbut after all these comments we must give mr . williamson credit for his sincere endeavour to paint the life of an otter , and for making his hero a happy , joyful creature , which indeed the otter is ; also for his vivid description of water - life , the countryside , and a pack of otter hounds , to say nothing of the otter hunt . the last is the most vivid and lifelike , though to the reviewer the most unpleasant , of his many vivid descriptions .\na really memorable book in its vein should one day come from mr . williamson . he has written several things that no one else could have written ; . . . the store of incidental observation is immense , and at its best the language has emotional and poetic virtues that are rare , real , and unspoiled by touch of sentimentality . . . . but damaged by self - consciousness of style and great excess of detail . both produce absurdities and cause irritation . the ungrammatical affectations of the opening paragraph of the book are enough to warn readers off all further advance . . . .\n( for a most interesting article of the details and background of the hawthornden prize see : peter lewis , \u2018the hawthornden prize\u2019 , hwsj 26 , september 1992 , pp . 32 - 49 . )\nwe are a little weary of the stories of wild animals [ as heroes and philosophers ] . . . mr . henry williamson\u2019s tarka the otter is a book of another kind . . . . few of us can say whether he is correct in every point because we are ignorant [ of the habits of such creatures ] . . . but mr . williamson has obviously adhered very closely to his observation . . . it is undoubtedly a brilliant one , presented with great charm and technical skill . sir john fortescue . . . suggests that \u2018 . . . at times he possibly carries the work of polishing and finishing to excess\u2019 . . . . [ agrees ] mr . williamson\u2019s style is inclined to be precious . . . but we are won over to forgive extravagances by the vividness of his descriptions . [ some r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of the story follows , pointing out some salient points ]\nin keen , sympathetic , accurate and comprehensive observation of wild life mr . williamson\u2019s nature tales , of which this is the fourth , are not excelled by any english or american writer . . . . [ the otter is little known to american readers \u2013 followed by a pr\u00e9cis of the story ]\nfor the very first time outside of its debut at the crazy horse in paris , the art of the teese featured von teese\u2019s act , \u201clazy . \u201d this full act is not unlike a miniature hollywood film from the bygone golden - age of glamour . \u201clazy\u201d features a lush living room set where von teese and her vontourage lounge alluringly . things began to heat up as von teese is assisted by palinski and martinez out of her gown and into a gorgeous feathered duster and then out of said duster .\nthe whole book is thrilling and reminiscent of richard jefferies . otter - hunters will not put it down until they have read to the last bubble the life - story of these charming water - babies .\nthis is an imaginative study . it is the story of an otter , his joyful water life and death in the country of the two rivers . what we have seen of mr . williamson\u2019s work we find attractive . he has a firm touch , an unaffected style and sincere emotions toward the things of the country . he is stern with himself concerning these emotions ; there is never a sign of irrelevant emotionalism . for the present his control is only admirable , but we hope there is no danger of his becoming too stern with himself : we look forward to his producing sooner or later a chef d\u2019\u0153uvre of considerable interest , but when we attempt to speculate upon the particular quality that such a book would reveal we are rather baffled .\nreminds me of [ this book ] . [ reviewer proceeds to compare various points between the two . ]\n. . . his picturesque prose , constantly gleaming with color , is sometimes overwrought to the point of preciosity and occasionally rises into passages of poetic description . [ quotes as example passage about the icicle spirit . ]\nbut when so much has been granted , we can give him complete praise . he has developed the power of observation to a very high degree . . . . he misses nothing . . . . he has an extraordinary power of evoking a scene through his method of intimate realism . . . . [ but ] it is too much when he includes his wealthy sporting friends in his pictures of nature ! . . . he does not seem to recognise his companions for what they are and it is impossible for us to feel any enthusiasm for their brutalities . he gives us a series of unpleasant glimpses of unpleasant people . . . .\nyet when all this has been said , and the conclusion has been reached that mr . williamson\u2019s outlook on nature is as yet that of the local historian and photographer rather than that of the artist , it must be admitted that in his field knowledge and poetic insight he has . . . the indispensable and rare equipment of the great nature writer , whose evolution into the artist is merely a matter of time \u2013 and tide .\nof the four books about animals which we have before us , the smallest is the best . mr . williamson , in his story of the life and death of tarka the otter , has attempted something much more ambitious than have the other authors , but he has been justified by success . his book is of that rare , and particularly english , sort in which the human author attempts to see through the eys of his animal hero . sir john fortescue , who has himself attempted this method , contributes a very understanding preface . . .\n0 of 0 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ?

) , the rest of the audience got precisely the movie that they had come to see : a campy , satisfying showcase for the impressively flashy vocal and sartorial stylings of cher and christina aguilera . after cher performed the soon - to - be adult - contemporary hit ,\nyou haven ' t seen the last of me ,\nthe entire room broke into vigorous applause and screams of joy .\nall through the tale the baying of the otter - hounds forms a dreadful chorus to the drama . father , two mates , friends , all fall to them . and they have tarka too at the last ; but not till , in his dying moments , he has bitten through the throat of deadlock and destroyed the pride of the pack . it is a brave tale , bravely told .\npinoy rebyu surveyed 81 respondents composed of filmmakers , critics , archivists , academics , etc . in 2013 to compile the 100 greatest filipino\u2026\nand i have just read two novels ( if novels they can sanely be called ) which i fear must be the decadent fruits of paranoia . the first is \u201ctarka the otter\u201d by henry williamson . instead of dealing with mankind , mr . williamson deals with otters , fish , and other aquatic amphibious beings . his knowledge of them and his imaginative sympathy with them are really astonishing . but is this preoccupation with beasts and fish a sure sign of paranoia ? \u201ctarka the otter\u201d has been praised by some of the finest critics in our depraved land . for example , by edward garnett . i agree that is marvellous . and the writing of it is marvellous . indeed , to my mind , the writing of it is too marvellous . i consider it to be over - written , marked by a certain preciosity . the author has searched too often and too long for the utterly right word . but i have no other criticism ."]}

climbing mount everest ! ! when i look back i have no idea how this film got done . the odds that were overcome were nothing short of miraculous . it started with me wanting to test myself as to whether i am capable enough to be a filmmaker . the chances of me getting a break were not that much , because i don\u2019t gel with the existing system of the indian film industry . i was a man of limited means and actually had a strong sense of conviction\u2026 . ironically an overdose of conviction is not always appreciated here . that being said , i tried to get talent from nsd , ftii , etc since these were the people who have studied filmmaking are passionate to start with and they have that fire in their belly like my dop sandeep patil . \u201d\ntalking about actors , pannu says , \u201ci was never in the running for the role of the protagonist , however , the person short listed walked out on me and that is when i decided to cast myself , since i did not want to risk my limited resources on people who were not able to keep their commitments . for the other actors , i actually chose them from various walks of life and trained them . they were selected cause i felt that they looked the part or enacted it in real life . this resulted in actors such as newcomer himanshu kohli and ftii\u2019s kp nishan , coming onto the project . \u201d\n\u201cdue to budgetary constraints going to established music directors was out of the question . what i did was to go after talented musicians who were looking for a break . the musicians that i did end up working with , nitesh pires and charu mohan , gave me music that is very different from the run of the mill , yet very appealing . the music has a lot of fusion . there are three original songs in the soundtrack , \u201d says pannu .\nthe company exhausted its $ 50 , 000 budget ( which was just on papers ) within 7 days of shoot but went ahead with shooting for a total of 21 days because we had the stock , equipment and luckily the unit was absolute new , they demanded no immediate wages . therefore shooting ran on credit . the company was in debt of $ 100 , 000 after the first schedule , hard to believe but trust in leadership and in the film gave hope to the unit and the local line producer .\nurltoken if you are interested in making money online through pakistan than join my community .

disputed plot of land . during the fight , baba suddenly remembers that he was a soldier and that he had been attacked while honeymooning with his wife , riva ( iris maity ) . pali now steps in to help baba adam regain his lost memory . their search for his wife and the mystery attacker forms the latter part of the drama .\nsartaj singh pannu\u2019s story is fairly fresh but his screenplay is weak and fails to hold the audience\u2019s attention . while the track of baba adam\u2019s memory loss and him trying to figure out who he is is somewhat interesting , the parallel tracks of pali and of harry\u2019s property dispute are hardly involving and are also left incomplete .\nsartaj singh pannu fails miserably as the main protagonist . nishan nanaiah is also dull . barkha madan does quite well . iris maity does a very ordinary job . himanshu kohli is poor . pratik rao is okay . bhupinder singh excels as pali\u2019s brother , harman , though he gets very little screen time .\nsartaj

making .\nover the past two years , i\u2019ve had four occasions to spend one - on - one time talking to theodore ushev . getting schooled is more like it . twice in annecy , once in stuttgart and once in ottawa . each time , i\u2019m mesmerized . each time , i feel like i\u2019ve studied at the feet of a master , humbled and energized at the same time . each time , as i listen to him talk about the nature of art , of animation , of what inspires him , his thoughts on visual development and composition , each time , something clicks in my feeble mind , perpetually grinding gears suddenly slide into place , ideas that never made sense suddenly approach clarity . when i talk to theodore , something awakens inside me . i find his perspective on things big and small , important and mundane , serious and silly to be utterly fascinating . i\u2019m not sure i can explain it any better . i\u2019ve always felt a great deal smarter after each of our conversations . there is a brevity , a succinctness in the way he talks about his films , the way he shares intimate feelings and insights into his process , his thinking , his reason for making a film . there\u2019s little wasted motion .\ntheodore ushev : it\u2019s about a clash of civilizations . a clash of religions . there won\u2019t be a winner at the end . everyone will be a loser when there is a war . i wanted to make a film that expresses the rage and brutality of war . war is just another side of rage that exists in everyday life .\nit\u2019s a mix of everything in this film . i even did some of the early images on my cellphone . there\u2019s a lot of cg components . it\u2019s a stereoscopic 3 - d film .\nds : aside from the fact i enjoy talking to you , i think your work is tremendous . if i didn\u2019t know you , i\u2019d still think your work is tremendous . there are lots of people who i know , and like , whose work i don\u2019t like at all [ laughs ] .\nwe\u2019ve talked in the past about the fact i\u2019ve never been hugely impressed with most of the experimental films i\u2019ve seen over the years . part of the problem was i didn\u2019t really know how to watch them , or what to look for , as silly as that sounds . i saw a program of steven woloshen\u2019s films a decade ago or so in ottawa which was a huge awakening for me . since then i\u2019ve come to appreciate these types of films much more .\ntu : well , there are some very bad experimental films . actually , there are some even worse narrative films [ laughs ] .\nds : those are much more obvious . you might be able to hide behind some abstract notion if you\u2019ve made a bad experimental film . a bad narrative film , you\u2019re just standing naked in the middle of a crowded room . however , with a bad experimental film , you fight the urge to gouge your eyes out with a fork .\ntu : sometimes i think many of my films are bad . but i have fun doing them .\ntu : i was reading a book by francis fukuyama called the end of history and the last man . suddenly it came to my mind that i wanted to finish my trilogy about hate and war with the high point of the hate . the film was to be about the hate and art . hate and war are somehow very connected to many artistic movements at different points in our history . they are still connected . all contemporary art is connected to conflicts . conflict has always been inspirational for artists . it has always been a starting point for their work . many of the avant - garde movements started at a point when people started wars , when there was conflict with humanity .\nfrom an inspirational standpoint , war , art , hate , conflict , these subjects evoke tremendous passion in people .\ntu : i wanted to finish this trilogy in a fast - pitched way . for me , hate and war are the emanation of everything bad in human energy . maybe i just wanted to take this bad energy out of me . when the ideologists and the political beasts and industry are all in collapse , when the power of industry is no longer valid , what is left in our society ? i don\u2019t want to predict anything but the increasing conflicts in our world , for example the middle east with the arab spring and increased violence there , all the conflicts happening everywhere around the world gives me the idea that the war never stops . i wanted to take these feelings and put them into one special piece , with the music of shostakovich\u2019s leningrad symphony .\nin the book , fukuyama says that the end of history is going to be a very sad time . i think a lot of people will be nostalgic about the time when the conflicts existed . there will be the realization that continual conflicts are needed , that people need conflict , that they need to compete . they need to be at the top of every competition . that\u2019s what the film is about . it\u2019s not only about the war . it\u2019s about the hate and the competition .\nds : the underlying need to have conflict as a context for coming out on top in competition .\nds : i know people who seem to thrive on conflict , who need conflict in their lives . it gives them a sense of purpose .\nds : you talk to them and it\u2019s never , \u201chey , how\u2019s it going ? . . . oh , it\u2019s going great ! \u201d\ntu : exactly . some people wake up and they cannot live unless they make their first conflict of their day . after that , they can breathe .\ntu : basically , with my film , i don\u2019t want to be didactic . i just wanted to make a film that shows the energy of everything . something that goes into your gut , not your mind . my message would be , \u201cwatch animated films and don\u2019t make war . \u201d that all that i want to say .\nds : this film has taken two years to make . do you ever get to a point on a film like this where you throw up your hands and say , \u201cthis is just not working ! i\u2019m creating a piece of shit ! \u201d\ntu : yes it happens sometimes . but up to now , i\u2019ve only started working on films i\u2019m interested in doing something with . i get on that train and i know where i\u2019m going to end up . of course , i never know if the film is going to be good or bad . but , nobody knows that . but i always have a very precise idea of what i want to have at the end . when i start the film , i have it in my head . always . it can change , but i always have it in my head .\ntu : i start at the beginning and work straight through until the end . i had sketches to begin with . with the nfb , you have to present very precise concepts and images . i had 40 images from different pieces . i had a construction , an explanation of what the film was about . but the storyboard is the music . it is the music that drives me . i just go and go and go . by the end everything comes together .\ntu : for this film , i cut out one minute . i had one scene that just didn\u2019t work . when it doesn\u2019t work , it doesn\u2019t work . so i cut it .\ntu : i wanted to create a printed sculpture of this monster , of war . my idea for the stereoscopy was at the beginning , the movie is very fluid , very 3 - d . coming to the end , as the war develops , the film becomes like the human brain , the human conscience , when we enter into the conflict . everything at that point becomes flat and black and white . there is never a middle tier in war . it\u2019s always , \u201cyou\u2019re either with me or against me . \u201d black and white . 2d . no depth . hate , war , that\u2019s it . it\u2019s better to make people feel these things than to try and send your message directly to them . i don\u2019t even consider my film anti - war . i\u2019m showing the nature of the hate and conflict . what you think after that is up to you .\ntu : this was my most complex film technically . it took me a long time to make . the stereoscopy is part of the construction of the film . to use stereoscopy as an animation tool , as an artistic tool , i was trying to extend the image to make it expand your visual perception so you\u2019d react in a very aggressive way . since the film starts in stereoscopy and ends in 2d , i had to estimate in every scene how does it work in 3 - d and how do i move from one context to the next .\nthe film was done with many different software programs . i used everything that is available right now . in the beginning of the film , the images are very complex . i had something like 250 layers in my compositing software . plus , though it\u2019s all digital , i want my films to all look analog . for me it\u2019s very important they have all the errors . when i say \u201canalog\u201d it\u2019s not to be trendy or cool . it\u2019s because with analog films , they\u2019re imperfect . i love the imperfectness of these types of films . i work with the software until it crashes , until it errors . at that point , i say , \u201cok , i\u2019ve arrived where i want to be . \u201d\ntu : yes . everything has to have errors . i work until i find these errors . everything i do is like animation under a camera . there is no stepping back . if you want to redo something five or six frames previous , you can\u2019t go back . i do the same with my computer . i have no control - z function . it doesn\u2019t work on my computer . you make a mistake , you have to go forward . you can\u2019t go back . that\u2019s it . that\u2019s how i work .\nds : you mentioned you used your cellphone on this film . is this new for you ?\ntu : i try never to use the exact same techniques on a film as i\u2019ve used before . everything needs its own technique . it has its own problems that need unique solutions . my next film will be totally analog . it will use a technique that has never been used before in animation . it will be my last animated film . i\u2019m looking to work with the nfb on a 25 minute film using a painting technique called encaustic , which was the first painting technique ever invented . the egyptians used it for decorating mummies . you mix pigments with beeswax . i have found a way to use the beeswax as animation components . i can\u2019t tell you too much but the next time you come to canada , there will be a big installation . just follow the bees ! that\u2019s how you\u2019ll find me !\ntu : when i start a film , i have a very vague idea of what i want to say . i will always have a piece of music in my head and i have visuals . so my first step is not to think about the concept or the script . my first step is i sit and i paint , for four or five days . for this film i did a lot of drawings . it just builds up . when i draw , the film , the concept , the construction , they all come out . my ideas come with a beginning and an end . the challenge is to fill in the middle [ laughs ] .\nds : i get the impression many people aren\u2019t nearly as together in their process . they start with an idea , but by the time they finish , they\u2019ve gone somewhere very different than their original plan .\ntu : i\u2019ve never had this problem in my entire life [ laughs ] .\nds : you\u2019re incredibly lucky . and gifted . let\u2019s talk a bit about music in animation . it\u2019s an area not many animators\u2026\ntu : we live in a time when it\u2019s not very trendy to think with music in mind . not just in animation but in other kinds of cinema . it\u2019s like it\u2019s a waste of time . to me , the music is the most important part of a film . when i first think of my films , it\u2019s often one image and the sound of the film . i often build the soundtrack of my films right after my four or five day visual exploration . it\u2019s my storyboard . i admit that i\u2019m not a very good animator . i don\u2019t have a feeling about the timing . i don\u2019t have that natural feeling for timing that many animators have . after almost ten years of animating , i\u2019m just beginning to get an idea of timing and movement . for me , the sound and music give me the inner timing . so i can\u2019t animate without music and sound . even if i just have a voice , in a language like farsi , which i don\u2019t understand , i can start to animate . the human voice , the use of language , is one of the most beautiful musical instruments there is . i treat the use of language like i do the music .\nsome people criticize that my films aren\u2019t narrative . no . my films are narrative , i just accept that my perception of language is different . i perceive language as music , not only as a tool of meaning . otherwise , it\u2019s literature . i don\u2019t want to create literature . to me in my films , language is not literature . it\u2019s sound .\nds : \u2026and that our poetry today is mostly found in music . why do you think young filmmakers don\u2019t devote enough attention to sound and music ? is it that they\u2019re too focused and enamored with the visual development production tools and technology ?\ntu : focus on technology is one part of the problem . they concentrate too much on technology . the schools that teach animation don\u2019t devote enough attention to sound design and music . it seems like first they teach them software , then character design , then they teach them storytelling , but no one teaches them how to breathe . to me , the sound is the breathing . you can learn about timing just by listening to how you breathe . it\u2019s an integral part of the sound .\ndirected by theodore ushev , produced by marc bertrand at the national film board of canada .\ndan sarto is the publisher and editor -

kong and the king himself , and was based off the king kong show , an american / japanese animated series that ran for three years on abc .\naccording to steve archer ' s\nwillis o ' brien : special effects genius\n( 1993 ) , shortly after\nking kong ,\no ' brien came up with the concept of king kong fighting a massive version of frankenstein ' s monster . it wasn ' t until about 1960 that o ' brien proposed his idea to rko studios , with sketches of kong and a new frankenstein ' s monster fighting in san francisco , dubbing it\nking kong meets frankenstein .\nthere were also several tie - ins to king kong throughout video games , as well as references . konami would reuse the animations and character models from\nking kong 2 : ikari no megaton punch\nand\nking kong 2 : yomigaeru denesetsu\nin a crossover game they published in 1988 called\nkonami wai wai world ,\nwhich was only released in japan .\ntaking place directly after the events of the last film , king kong survived his fall from the top of the world trade centers and was put into a coma for ten years . he was monitored by dr . amy franklin ( linda hamilton ) , who gave kong an artificial heart to survive . however , kong loses so much blood during the surgery that dr . franklin fears kong will die , until explorer hank mitchell ( brian kerwin ) arrives with a captured giant female gorilla , dubbed\nlady kong .\nthe blood transfusion is successful and king kong awakens , only to grab lady kong and escape the complex .\nlooking for movie tickets ? enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing king kong ( 2005 ) near you .\nthe success of these monster movies throughout the 1940s and 1950s would bring about the next time king kong would emerge , as an idea conceived by willis o ' brien .\nadditionally , a new king kong film is in the works and is set to be released in 2017 , entitled\nkong : skull island .\nthe film will be a joint production between warner brothers and legendary pictures and is set to reboot the kong franchise .\na 1962 film which has godzilla clash with king kong . it was the third godzilla film and remains the greatest box - office hit in the series .\naffirming that the king kong novelization and serialization were indeed in the public domain , and universal studios could make its movie as long as it did not infringe on the original elements of the 1933 rko film , which had not yet passed into public domain . universal postponed their plans to film a king kong movie , called the legend of king kong , for at least 18 months , after cutting a deal with dino de laurentiis that included a percentage of box office profits from his remake .\na pharmaceutical company captures king kong and brings him to japan , where he escapes from captivity and battles a recently released godzilla .\nfinally , the biggest example of a king kong video game came in the form of a tie - in to the 2005 film . released by ubisoft in 2005 , they gave us\npeter jackson ' s king kong : the official game of the movie\nfor the xbox 360 . this was the first game ubisoft released for the xbox 360 and was nominated for video game of the year at the spike tv awards that year .\ncooper later said ,\nmy hassle is about king kong . i created the character long before i came to rko and have always believed i retained subsequent picture rights and other rights . i sold to rko the right to make one original picture ' king kong ' and also , later , ' son of kong , ' but that was all .\nthe ride combines practical effects , such as large tanks of air to simulate kong ' s breath , and computer generated effects that show kong battling dinosaurs . the ride is patterend mostly off of the 2005 film , with a similar design to skull island and kong between the film and this ride .\nskull island : reign of kong\nuses many of the same technics as one of universal ' s other big attractions\nharry potter and the forbidden journey ,\nwhere the riders are put in front of a large protector and move with the actions , in this case the movements of king kong .\nking kong has had quite the run of animated renderings ever since , including a recent appearance in the lego batman movie . other kid - friendly cartoon kongs : 1998 musical the mighty kong , which has the voices of dudley moore and the little mermaid \u2019s jodi benson ; kong : the animated series , which spawned a few straight - to - dvd movies and aired on fox kids in the early 2000s ; and current netflix series kong : king of the apes , which is set in the year 2050 and features evil robotic dinosaurs .\nthe key example of this film changing something from the 1933 film was that , at the end of the movie , rather than climbing the iconic empire state building , king kong now climbs to the top of one of the world trade center towers , which were taller than the empire state building .\nurltoken - king of kong : a fistful of quarters is a great documentary / film charting the itense rivalries of classic arcade record high score holders . it focuses in particular on billy mitchell & steve wiebe .\nking kong has continued to survive through his many theme park attractions at several universal studios parks , including ones in hollywood and orlando .\nso , where does king kong fit into all of this ? magonojyou has a pet ape that he used to kidnap chinami , and the pet ' s name is\nking kong .\nin fact , this pet ape looks more like a yeti than an ape , according to film historians .\nthe first of these attractions opened at universal studios hollywood in july of 1986 , months before\nking kong lives\nhit theaters . this ride , pictured above , was part of the theme park ' s famous studio tour . it involved the tram being confronted by king kong on the brooklyn bridge . called\nking kong enounter ,\nthe ride used a massive animatronic kong , built by disney imagineer bob gurr . universal , however , was looking to expand its theme park footprint and to continue to challenge disney . this resulted in the opening of universal studios florida in june of 1990 . one of the rides the park opened with was called\nkongfrontation\n.\nkong caged : lovelace describes kong as being shackled to the floor inside a large cage when he is presented to the public as part of denham\u2019s show , as oppose to the now iconic crucifixion pose from the 1933 film . both the 1968 comic adaptation and dino de laurentiis and john guillermin\u2019s 1976 king kong remake share the cage imagery .\none of those upcoming monsterverse flicks is the rematch , if not the remake , that we\u2019ve been waiting for since 1962 , when ishiro honda\u2019s king kong vs . godzilla debuted .\nthe fourth film in the new monsterverse cinematic universe that began with 2014\u2019s godzilla is also essentially a remake of 1962\u2019s king kong vs . godzilla . opens may 29 , 2020 .\nah , the power of it . ah , the superpower ! hail to the power ! hail to the power of kong ! and petrox !\nthese masks were composed of a plastic skull over which were placed artificial muscle groups activated by rambaldi ' s cables which entered the costume through the feet of the kong model , with a latex skin over the top of the plastic skull . these masks used hydraulics to move , which required a team of operators working off - set with control boards . finally , baker put contact lenses over the eyes of the masks so kong would resemble a gorilla . baker wore the king kong suit and performed as kong throughout most of the film .\nbut the most difficult part of filming\nking kong\nwas combining the live action sequences with the stop motion scenes , while making it seem like the actors were in the same place as these monsters .\nso why did they make a king kong film five years after the films initial release ? part of it was most likely due to\nking kong\nbeing rereleased in japanese theaters in 1938 , and zensho cinema wanted to make their own film that would build off the success of this release simply by claiming their ape was giant .\nthe battle for king kong and its resolution made headlines . many ran articles in february of 1976 quoting universal president sid sheinberg , such as the anderson herald , as he stated :\nour agreement permits mr . de laurentiis to make the best possible film , and permits universal to select the best possible approaches to its king kong venture . universal intends to produce and release a king kong film under optimum production and distribution conditions , subsequent to the de laurentiis film release .\nthe king kong suit , however , had a more difficult time being accepted , especially by tsuburaya , according to donald f . glut ' s\nclassic movie monsters\n( 1978 ) . he rejected the first suit sent his way for the legs being too long and kong being far too fat . several other designs were used before the final concept was created for kong , though the end result was the birth of the largest king kong to this date at 147 feet tall in the movie .\ndue to the success of\nking kong ,\nrko studios wanted to capitalize on its success immediately , and thus green - lite a sequel as soon as possible .\nthe world of donkey kong competition is one of the most intriguing in retro gaming , so if you want a bit of insight into the original kong off last year , check out our interview with tournament host richie knucklez .\nhowever , less than a month after his ruling , judge manuel real made a subsequent ruling , stating that all the rights in the name , character and story of king kong ( outside of the 1933 film and\nson of kong\n) belonged to the cooper estate . this would become known as the\ncooper judgment\nand was a massive victory for richard cooper , as it proved what merian c . cooper had said for years about king kong .\nthe film was titled king kong vs . godzilla ( 1962 ) because , at the time filming began , king kong was more popular in japan than godzilla , so it made sense to give him top - billing . also , given that godzilla was considered a villain at this point in time , it was also decided that king kong would triumph over godzilla , but leave enough ambiguity to suggest that godzilla is still alive for future films .\nbut what truly stands out about king kong is that he has such a powerful legacy that has lasted this long . the first\nking kong\ncame out 83 years ago , when talking pictures were still perfecting their craft and charlie chaplin ' s character of the tramp was the most recognizable image in the world . yet , here we are in the age of computer generated imagery that can bring anything we can image to life , and we still want to see king kong duke it out with godzilla . that is the definition of a classic .\nrather than wait for any legal battle to settle , de laurentiis rushed into making his king kong film instead . pouring millions into the budget , and spurring up advanced advertisements , de laurentiis made his project known to the public . faced with lengthy legals battles and the prospect of launching a king kong film immediately after paramount pictures already did , universal canceled their project under a mutual agreement with de laurentiis for a percentage of the profits from the paramount pictures film and the rights to make a king kong movie at a later date .\nthere were 25 episodes of\nthe king kong show\nbefore it was cancelled in 1969 , but it was successful enough that rankin / bass felt they could extend the kong franchise further by reaching out to an old friend : toho . . .\nlakeman was not the only player in the hunt for the donkey kong record in recent times .\nthe switch from king kong to godzilla is quite clear in ebirah , horror of the deep ( 1966 ) , as godzilla performs many actions throughout the film that are uncharacteristic for him , but common place for kong , such as godzilla gaining strength from electricity ( a power kong had in 1962 ' s king kong vs . godzilla ) , protecting the native girl from another monster , and throwing rocks at the titular ebirah , a giant lobster , rather than using his signature atomic breath .\nking kong has also faced his share of down sides , in particular the constant legal battle over the brand and who owned him - merian c . cooper , rko studios or the public . in a way , the court case might have hurt kong in the long run , because it deterred other companies from wanting to do anything with king kong , or else they might get into more legal trouble at points in history .\ncooper plainly did not obtain any trademark rights in his judgment against rko , since the california district court specifically found that king kong had no secondary meaning .\naccording to\nchronology of zensho films ( in japanese )\n( 2002 ) , the film was released by zensho cinema as a two - part drama about the giant kong kong appearing in japan ' s edo period , often depicted as a feudal period filled with samurais . posters of\nking kong appears in edo\nshow kong grasping the damsel in this film , chinami , in the palm of his hand and swatting the men trying to rescue her .\nwhen tsuburaya heard that toho wanted him to do the special effects for a king kong film , he dropped every project he had worked on to support this film . tsuburaya had been a massive fan of the special effects used in\nking kong\nsince he was a kid and considered it an honor to work on this film .\nsince hollywood has always known the importance of cashing in on one\u2019s hot property , an insta - sequel followed : 1933 ' s son of kong , helmed by cooper\u2019s king kong co - director ernest b . schoedsack . in son of kong , denham ( armstrong again ) returns to skull island on a treasure hunt and meets \u201clittle kong\u201d\u2014a smaller , much jollier , ultimately way less compelling version of his father . box office success did not repeat .\nrichard cooper filed a cross - claim towards rko , saying that while the novelization rights had not been renewed , the cooper estate still had control over the plot and story of\nking kong .\nking kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot mechakong is unable to do the task . this leads to the machine and the real kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level japan .\nthe 1932 film shares much with king kong , though its lack of a monster ( unless man is the true monster ? ) made me hesitate to include it here at first . however , it\u2019s worth noting because it\u2019s an underrated and influential classic ( films from hard target to zodiac to predator draw inspiration ) , and because of its ties to the king kong production .\non may 6 , 2015 , universal also announced that they were working on a new king kong attraction , that would be known as\nskull island : reign of kong\nthat would open in the summer of 2016 in their islands of adventure in the orlando theme park . the ride has had a few soft openings for advanced crowds , and the ride is similar to\nking kong : 360 3 - d ,\nas you are transported on a small truck through skull island , along with a group of cave explorers , where you encounter and are chased by dinosaurs , only to come face - to - face with king kong .\nboth legendary pictures and warner brothers are prepared to sign on to do more king kong films in the future if\nkong : skull island\ndoes well financially , but have already taken a large step towards something bigger .\nthe family that befriends kong has three principal members , professor bond , the father of the family , the teenage daughter susan bond , and little bobby bond that kong saves from a t - rex in the first episode . there is also the returning character of captain englehorn from the 1933 film , who transports kong and the bond family around the world . the bond family also has the reoccurring villain of dr . who ( not the british one ) , a mad scientist bent on conquering the world and intends to use king kong to reach his goals .\neven if you ' ve never so much as eaten a single ghost in a game of ms . pac - man , king of kong is still a remarkable ( and remarkably hilarious ) film .\nsince then , universal has largely owned the rights towards king kong . while rko studios still owned the rights towards the first two films , dino de laurentiis owned the rights of his kong films ( although de laurentiis eventually sold those rights to studio canal ) , and the cooper estate owning the book and publishing rights , universal was allowed to do as they pleased with the character . this led to king kong becoming a major attraction at universal ' s theme parks .\nto cut costs , o ' brien reused as many old animatronics and miniature sets that he could salvage , in particular from both\nking kong\nand\ncreation\nincluding an aluminum frame - work for king kong that would be used for little kong and many of the same monsters . o ' brien was also forced to cut corners on the stop motion animation to give these scenes a more cartoonish feel .\nthis court case kept filmmakers from pursuing more films starring king kong for some years . it wasn ' t until 1975 that interest in a new kong film would appear . . . only to cause another legal battle .\nfor king kong : our furry friend has left quite the legacy throughout film and television . one that has always been on the pioneering edge of special effects , whether that was stop motion animation in the 1930s , large - scale monster battles in the 1960s , massive animatronics in the 1970s or paving the way for motion capture in the 2000s , king kong has helped to aid the next step in movie effects .\nas for king kong , his popularity was once again growing and american studios were fascinated with bringing him back to american audiences . but since the last time kong was made in the states , a new form of media had become just as popular as the cinema - television .\nfor international releases , rankin / bass were in charge of the dubbing process for king kong escapes ( 1967 ) , but universal still retained the rights to king kong , so they would release the film in the united states . rankin / bass decided to have different voice actors dub over the lead roles for the american release of king kong escapes ( 1967 ) , with veteran voice actor paul frees handle most of the male roles , including dr . who . rhodes reason got to re - dub over his lines , but rankin / bass decided to not have linda miller re - dub her lines .\nafter rko sent cooper many ideas for titles for the film , including\nkong : jungle beast\nand\nkong : the jungle king .\neventually , cooper and ruth rose simply referred to the film as\nkong .\nselznick approached cooper about this , saying that with a one - word title like that , audiences might get the film confused with docudrama ' s at the time like\ngrass\nand\nchang ,\nboth films cooper had produced earlier in his career . this caused cooper to add the word\nking\nto the title , leading us to the now famous title of\nking kong .\ntelevision the king kong show ( 1966 ) . in this cartoon series , the giant gorilla befriends the bond family , with whom he goes on various adventures , fighting monsters , robots , mad scientists and other threats . produced by rankin / bass , the animation was provided in japan by toei animation , making this the very first anime series to be commissioned right out of japan by an american company . this was also the cartoon that resulted in the production of toho ' s godzilla vs . the sea monster ( originally planned as a kong film ) and king kong escapes . kong : the animated series ( 2001 ) . an animated production set many decades after the events of the original film .\nkong\nis cloned by a female scientist . this show , coming a few years after the release of centropolis ' godzilla : the series repeated at least two of the monsters ( although with vastly different backgrounds ) seen in the godzilla series . a direct - to - dvd movie called kong : king of atlantis , based on the 2001 series , was released to try and cash in on the 2005 movie . both the series and the movie were then included in toon disney ' s\njetix\ngroup for a time , also to take advantage of the 2005 movie ' s release . a year later , a follow up direct - to - dvd film was released called kong : return to the jungle . the king kong suit from king kong escapes appeared on ike ! greenman episode 38 called greenman vs gorilla . due to copyright reasons king kong ' s name was changed to gorilla .\nthis turn of events led to two parties approaching rko to get the rights to make a new king kong film . on one side was de laurentiis and the other universal , each approaching rko with a $ 200 , 000 licensing fee but with different percentages on the earnings ( 3 % from paramount pictures , 5 % from universal ) according to\nking kong : the history of a movie icon\n( 2005 ) . paramount ended up signing a contract while universal claims they had a verbal agreement to the same effect . around this time , both finally discovered that two king kong films were being made ,\nking kong\nat paramount pictures and\nthe legend of king kong\nat universal . both unhappy with this turn of events , a court battle ensued . universal struck first and sought $ 25 million in damages from both de laurentiis and rko . de laurentiis counter - sued for $ 90 million in damages on the grounds of copyright infringement .\na crew of explorers and filmmakers set out to investigate the myths of the legendary creature king kong . traveling to skull island , they discover a land unaffected by time as kong lives with dinosaurs that have been hidden and protected from man for centuries . as the crew struggles to survive on the treacherous island , they eventually capture kong through his fascination with a beautiful woman . taken back to new york , it may only be a matter of time before kong escapes his confines .\n\u201cthe original production of king kong united audiences of all races \u2013 at the height of apartheid - and was a celebration of south african talent , \u201dsays daniel galloway the executive director of the fugard theatre . \u201cwe have been delighted to see that audiences from all walks of life and across several generations have enjoyed the 2017 production which is itself a celebration of our outstanding local talent . \u201d\nas for the special effects involved in\nking kong ,\nspecial effects developer rick baker and creature designer carlo rambaldi took a cue from films like\njaws\nand decided to bring kong to life using large - scale animatronics .\nthere has also been at least one children\u2019s book adaptation of the original king kong . first published in 1983 and then again in 1988 by random house this version was based on the lovelace novelization but rewritten for children by judith conaway with accompanying illustrations by michael berenstain . conaway was not the last to rewrite lovelace\u2019s prose however . in 2005 writers joe devito and brad strickland also rewrote lovelace\u2019s 1932 novelization and published it under the title merian c . cooper\u2019s king kong : a novel . the point of this was apparently to improve upon lovelace\u2019s original as well as to bring the novelization into the same narrative continuity as devito and strickland\u2019s own original prequel kong novel kong : king of skull island .\naccording to august ragone\neiji tsuburaya : master of monsters ,\n( 2007 ) , the result was a black - and - white silent comedic short that used\nking kong\nas a backdrop to its story , as the main character dresses up in an ape costume in trying to woo his girlfriend and plays king kong for a vaudeville theater .\ndenham , who ? : actor robert armstrong played movie mogul carl denham in the 1933 film , but in lovelace\u2019s 1932 novelization the character is just called denham with no first name . this is one of the surest signs that you\u2019re dealing with a kong adaptation that is using the novel as its basis and includes both the 1968 and 1991 king kong comic adaptations and 1998\u2019s the mighty kong .\nmassive mechanical arms would be built by baker and rambaldi also , used to fit jessica lange in the palm of kong ' s arm . like the masks used for kong ' s face and the giant mechanical kong , the arms used hydraulics , and required another large team of operators to handle its movement .\nbut kong would be saved in the form of a new challenger , in an entirely different setting and vastly different period of filmmaking .\nthen we have the video games that tied into the\nkong : the animated series\ntelevision show . in 2002 , bam ! entertainment released a tie - in for the game boy advance , while mga entertainment released another in 2003 for their own electronic handheld that also came with a small figurine of king kong . also , majesco games released a tie - in to the straight - to - video animated film\nkong : king of atlantis\nin 2005 for the game boy advanced by the same title .\nin the original script , the gorilla is named\nkong\n. the film was then entitled the eighth wonder and press booklets were sent off to thousands of movie theaters in 1932 to excite the theatre owners into placing\nthe eighth wonder\nonto their advertisements . the\nking\nwas added to the title by studio publicists . apart from the opening titles , the only time the name\nking kong\nappears in the picture is on the marquee above the theater where kong is being exhibited , and the marquee was in fact added to the scene as an optical composite after the live footage of the theater entrance had been shot . however , denham does refer to kong in his speech as\na king and a god in the world he knew .\nthe giant gate used in the 1933 movie was burned along with other old studio sets for the burning of atlanta scene in gone with the wind . the gate was originally constructed for the 1927 biblical epic the king of kings . it can also be seen in the bela lugosi serial the return of chandu ."]}

teen years . like their contemporaries the beach boys , they quickly transcended their initial genre and produced some of the most vivacious music of the sixties . frankie ' s astonishing voice , boasting the most phenomenal falsetto in the history of recorded music\u2014and he was a great singer even when he wasn ' t using his falsetto\u2014struck a chord in me even then . bandmate bob gaudio wrote some terrific tunes , too . in fact , let ' s hope the pet shop boys can match the legendary longevity of the valli -

81 the wall tour in that both made use of an onstage wall , though in very different ways . one reviewer suggested that the psb wall was inspired by their song\nbuilding a wall ,\nwhich is distinctly possible considering that it was part of the tour setlist .\nthe stooges go to criminology school and graduate with the lowest possible honors . the boys join the police force and are assigned to track down a crook called the\neel\n, who disguises himself as a woman . the stooges track the eel to a hotel , but he slips through their hands after a wild chase . the stooges are booted off the force and wind up as ditch diggers . written by mitch shapiro\nby contrast ( perhaps somewhat facetiously ) , chris said in an interview for mixmag in 2012 that he tends to want pet shop boys music to be\ndownbeat\n\u2014or , as he put it more specifically ,\ni would rather it was all like pink floyd .\nthen again , it would seem that chris does indeed have some fondness for floyd . in chris heath ' s book pet shop boys , literally , neil says that when he first met chris , he\nwent back to his flat and he had all these pink floyd cassettes ,\nat which neil added he was\nshocked .\nthe albums specifically mentioned in this exchange are dark side of the moon , wish you were here , and the wall , although chris ' s opinion of the latter is that it ' s\nnot very good .\nspeaking of stuart price , it was surely his production work on madonna ' s confessions album as well as his service as musical director for her subsequent confessions tour\u2014replete with his trademark mashups\u2014that led to the boys tapping him to produce their 2009 brits hits medley and then their own mashup - laden pandemonium tour , followed by their albums electric and super ( and prospectively a third as part of a\npsb - price trilogy\n) .\nrufus appeared as a guest vocalist at the boys ' special may 2006 bbc radio concert with orchestra , singing their\ncasanova in hell .\n( this show , including rufus ' s performance , was recorded for the live album concrete . ) and rufus also provides backing vocals on the 2016 psb track\nwiedersehen\n\u2014although , to be honest , i wouldn ' t have known without the credits and announcement of the fact .\nafter bowie passed away in 2016 , the boys would at times dedicate certain performances to his memory . for instance , during their concert in july 2017 in turku , finland , they dedicated their rendition of\nalways on my mind\nto bowie , at which time neil mentioned how they had met up with bowie ( not for the first time , of course ) when they had both played the ruisrock festival in turku back in 1997 .\nthis whole world\n( 1970 , from sunflower ) brian ' s sense of tonality can be shocking . it ' s challenging enough trying to figure out the key ( s ) of the aforementioned\ngod only knows .\nbut this one takes the cake . here he and his boys adopt and discard keys , one line after another , with greater ease than a cold sufferer going through kleenex . yet it all sounds perfectly natural .\nand while i ' m generally loath to include shared remixers among these\nconnections\n( on account of the potential for it getting out of hand ) , i shouldn ' t ignore the very special case of the klf , who rarely mixed other artists ' work but made exceptions for both depeche mode ( the\ntrancentral mix\nof\npolicy of truth\n) and the pet shop boys (\nso hard\nand\nit must be obvious\n) ."]}

mandate districts , from which united russia got a majority of its deputies . shpilkin estimates united russia actually got about 40 percent of the party - list vote , which would have reduced its party - list seats from 140 to around 110 . but , with a projected 343 deputies in the new parliament , united russia once again has enough votes to unilaterally alter the constitution . although pamfilova has promised to investigate reports of fraud and election officials have already annulled results in at least three polling stations , she maintains that there was no systematic falsification and that the vote was legitimate . on september 20 , russia\u2019s prosecutor - general\u2019s office denied there were any significant violations during the voting and said the number of complaints was \u201csignificantly lower\u201d than for previous elections . but videos recorded by official cameras from several polling stations seem to tell a different story . in almost all of them , local election officials can be seen working as teams to apparently stuff ballot boxes and prevent outsiders from observing their actions .\nthis year , the number of women in congress dropped for the first time since 1978 . last year , women held only 15 . 7 percent of board seats and 14 . 4 percent of executive officer positions in fortune 500 companies . a new study shows that the number of women working as writers and directors on prime - time television programs dropped significantly in the 2010 - 11 season . women now account for only 15 percent of writers on the major television networks ' prime - time dramas , comedies , and reality shows , down from 29 percent in the 2009 - 10 season . only 11 percent of directors in this year ' s television season were women , compared with 16 percent last season , and only 25 percent of series creators , producers , executive producers , directors , writers , editors and directors of photography were women , representing a decline of two percentage points from last season . by every significant measure of social , political , and cultural power , today ' s women are losing ground . the cultural climate of 2011 appears even less likely to produce a movie of comparable significance than it was 20 years ago .\nbased in malad west , mumbai , sameer lives a middle -

mandate districts , \u201d he said . \u201cbut on the level of federal party lists , the position of the opposition looks entirely hopeless . \u201d\ncallie khouri ' s triumphant final image of the two heroines locking hands as louise drives them over a cliff is impossible to forget . some feminists fretted that this ending represented the ultimate punishment for the women ' s defiant journey of self -

be rapist . may marked its 20th anniversary . in 1992 , screenwriter callie khouri became one of a handful of women to win an academy award for best original screenplay , and thelma & louise earned more than $ 45 million at the u . s . box office . sarandon and davis were each nominated in the best actress category , and director ridley scott was nominated for best director .\nat a screening of\nthelma & louise\nearlier this month , i was struck by how many lines of dialogue i remembered word for word . i was only 9 when it came out in theaters and i didn ' t see it until many years after it was released . when i finally did , at age 25 , i was electrified . at 28 , i was again entranced , silently mouthing my favorite lines along with sarandon and davis , laughing semi - hysterically at every sad - funny scene featuring thelma ' s twitchy - eyed sexist jerk of a husband , and choking back a sob when louise bade her final farewell to jimmy .\nafter the screening , there was a panel discussion of how far women had come twenty years later .\nthis movie would never get made today ,\nsighed one of the panelists , and the audience members murmured their assent . it ' s shocking enough that it was distributed in 1991 , but at least back then american women were experiencing something like momentum : anita hill stood up for herself at clarence thomas ' s confirmation hearings , callie khouri won an oscar , and , when four women were simultaneously elected to the united states senate , 1992 was dubbed the\nyear of the woman .\nthere are no such movies today . the bechdel test ( named for cartoonist alison bechdel ) is a means of assessing a movie ' s treatment of its female characters . in order to pass the test , a movie must have : ( 1 ) at least two women in it , ( 2 ) who talk to each other , ( 3 ) about something other than a man or men . a popular variant of the test additionally requires that both women have names . twenty years ago , thelma & louise passed the bechdel test easily . i can think of only three widely distributed movies that passed in the last year : something borrowed , bridesmaids , and the help . none approached the depth or level of nuance of thelma & louise , and only the help featured actresses of the same caliber as davis and sarandon .\nbridesmaids is an enjoyably ribald comedy that dips a tentative toe in the darker waters of changing friendships , loneliness , and disillusionment . it ' s frivolous and fun , but hardly earth - shattering , despite the tremendous amount of credit its makers were awarded for assembling a movie with a predominantly female cast . the overwrought and forgettable something borrowed only passes the bechdel test on a technicality : kate hudson and ginnifer goodwin spend about ten minutes of screen time discussing something other than a man or men . ( that\nsomething\nis their longstanding friendship , which goodwin ' s character ultimately trades in for a man ) . though inspiringly female - centric , the help is about women ' s lives rather than individual women ; it ' s not focused enough to create main characters as vivid and enduring as thelma & louise .\nthelma & louise is powerful in part because it ' s about more than friendship . movies that examine the bonds between women are few and far between , but they exist , from beaches to terms of endearment , the color purple , steel magnolias , fried green tomatoes , and a league of their own . thelma & louise transcends the genre ; it ' s about transformation and liberation that at once intensely personal and deeply political . it ' s about escaping , however fantastically , the agonizing constraints of gender , class , time , and place .\nin 1991 , even gossip columnist liz smith found thelma & louise ' s liberation troubling , particularly its sexual aspect .\nnobody in ' thelma & louise ' worries about aids , using condoms or encountering a serial killer ,\nsmith primly noted . surely the number of hollywood sex scenes that depict a character of any gender reaching for a condom mid - action is low . what really bothered people is that\nthelma & louise\nunderstood and realistically portrayed the way women experience sex . much has been made of brad pitt ' s performance , which was widely hailed as his breakout role . he played a sweet - talking hitchhiker / felon who shows thelma\nwhat all the fuss is about\nin bed . their scenes together are funny , touching , and genuinely erotic .\nkhouri knew that women like context\u2014thelma and her new friend didn ' t have time to go to dinner and get to know each other , but their chemistry is believably established in the scenes they share together outside of bed . the actual sex scene stayed with me for years not because brad pitt had such a nice body\u2014though he did\u2014but because he and davis seemed to get along so well . you feel as if they like each other , not just each other ' s bodies . they flirt and tease and laugh and play together . it was her first taste of real intimacy with a man that made the sex so good for thelma , not the way her lover ' s body looked in jeans ( although she liked that too ) . that scene possessed a humanity that is absent from every major movie sex scene i ' ve watched since .\nmelissa silverstein , who writes and edits a blog called\nwomen & hollywood ,\nwas among the panelists at the screening i attended .\nthelma & louise is still a touchstone for so many people because it has never been recreated ,\nshe observed .\nwhen a movie is successful , it ' s usually recreated over and over and over again .\nwhy didn ' t thelma & louise usher in a new era for women in hollywood ? as the reactions of certain critics in 1991 revealed , even smart , educated people are disturbed by female characters who assert control over their lives and bodies and aren ' t punished for it . and as callie khouri told the observer in 2001 ,\nbad guys get killed in every goddamn movie that gets made . . . that guy was the bad guy and he got killed . it was only because a woman did it that there was any controversy at all .\nat least back then we got to have the controversy . today , we don ' t make movies about women that are even worth fighting about . whenever i ' m dispirited by the crassly sexist ethos that governs hollywood ( as well as television , politics , and the corporate world ) today , i think of\nthelma and louise\nand remember a time , not so long ago , when women were allowed to be human , if only in the movies .\nraina lipsitz is a brooklyn -

so - dynamic duo of kidnappers , and a organ - harvesting pimp , the film winds an complicated and compelling narrative with a shrewd empathy and darkly comic twist .\n[ ryan ] prows also has a more deft and adroit handling of race relations in modern america . while tarantino has always tackled race head -

linear storytelling method used to further the story along . there\u2019s a good chance tarantino\u2019s still - unequaled early masterpiece is one of prows\u2019 biggest influences , yet lowlife never gets too confusing by telling the stories out of order , because it\u2019s basically just showing the same story from different perspectives and showing more with each retelling .\nmix the insane violence and weaving vignettes of \u201cpulp fiction\u201d with the seedy underbelly of \u201cbreaking bad , \u201d and you have ryan prows\u2019 directorial debut , \u201clowlife , \u201d a messy but ultimately interesting look a a group of downtrodden individuals who get mixed up in an organ harvesting scheme .\nanticipating the next question , he continued , \u201ci think for this film , i targeted it at the young girl who read us \u2018swimmy . \u2019\u201d\n\u201clowlife\u201d is broken into four interweaving vignettes that move back and forth through time , slowly revealing different sides to each character , coloring in the story , and tangling them up even tighter into a web of blackmail , deception , kidnapping , and revenge . and the film\u2019s title can certainly be applied to every character in their own right , as each vignette reveals more about their character and the mess they all have found themselves in .\nthe legacy of quentin tarantino \u2019s \u201cpulp fiction\u201d looms the largest over \u201clowlife , \u201d with its flair for unexpected , quick violence , and interweaving vignettes . but there is also a touch of david lynch in the film\u2019s unflinching exposure of america\u2019s seedy underbelly . california might be the land of sunshine , celebrity smiles , and hollywood dreams , but it is also home to drugs , poverty , and gated homes that are armored against gun violence .\nnice effort from some crazy pulp fans . all characters are equally epic and hilarious , everything a film this king might need . el legado es todo\nsomething strange is lurking in the wilds of nova scotia . for their feature film debut , dog day frontman seth smith and divorce records / obey convention head honcho darcy spidle put their primary projects on the backburner to conjure the spine - chilling visions of lowlife . like a maritime twist on the blair witch , the black and white horror follows a drug - addled musician haunted by a \u2018mudman\u2019 and other creepy creatures . check out the trailer below :\nthe director attempted to set the record straight in a message posted to his website on june 6 , protesting that \u201cdiscourse surrounding this film has included both criticism and praise \u2026 [ arrived at ] by juxtaposing it against the values asserted by the current administration . \u201d he went on to write : \u201ca film is not a vehicle to accuse , or to relay a specific message . if we reduce a film to this , we lose all hope for cinema to ignite a richer conversation . i have never made a film to praise or to criticize something . that kind of filmmaking is nothing but propaganda . \u201d\nwith a perfectly spooky shooting location in the weathered forests outside their front door , lowlife began as a more man vs . wild adventure . yet in seth\u2019s words , their original intentions to create a survivalist story spun off into far more surrealist territory as the project took on a life of its own .\nas these deeply flawed figures crash into each other\u2019s lives , sparks fly along with one - liners , all gunning to a showdown with the big bad teddy . and after some unwieldy turns and awkward tone shifts , lowlife sticks the landing with a finale that is unnerving , satisfying , and suitably absurd .\nthis totally messed - up movie that deals with human sex trafficking , organ theft , hard drugs , organized crime and corrupt cops somehow manages to pull a few heartstrings by the end . lowlife seems to suffer from budget and casting constraints at the beginning\u2014and you ' d like to see a story this good have a little more technical polish\u2014but things really pick up by the midpoint and lowlife wins you over , even as it pushes you away . the inclusion of ricardo zarate ' s enforcer character ( with a luchador mask and legacy to protect ) and jon oswald ' s ex - con character ( a non - racist with a full - face swastika tattoo ) were highlights for me and leant both laughs and tremendous heart to an otherwise grimy film . though an inexact and\u2026\nperhaps what \u2018lowlife\u2019 does best is expose the underbelly of an america that has always existed , but one that will certainly grow more dangerous and cutthroat under a presidency that continually fans the flames of anti - immigration sentiments and threatens to strip even the most basic healthcare from struggling communities who need it most . \u201d\nlowlife is broken up into five segments , during the middle three of which\u2014\u201cmonsters , \u201d \u201cfiends , \u201d and \u201cthugs\u201d\u2014we\u2019re introduced to one character after the next , and prows\u2019 camera shifts perspective in each vignette to someone who previously appeared to have a negligible role . this continues until a grand finale that brings everything together .\nand while the special effects can be lacking at times and the acting occasionally stilted , this is where \u201clowlife\u201d \u2014 and the horror genre as whole \u2014 shines the most : slipping in commentary about the neighborhoods many avoid in between a barrage of blood and bullets . there is even a glimmer of hope in to be found in the film\u2019s grim and blood - soaked ending : a reminder that even the downtrodden can muster unfathomable courage and overcome an evil that seems unbeatable and everywhere at once .\nby introducing its least likable characters in the film\u2019s bloody opening sequence , \u201clowlife\u201d starts out on shaky ground . the brutal disregard for human life is made all the more evident by the violence shoveled out against women . the audience can hear \u2014 but never sees \u2014 the men being killed , but are instead treated to the ogling of a young , beautiful girl , who is then designated for sexual slavery , while and an older woman is ruthlessly executed and carved open like a slab of meat .\nthis is one of those productions that some will love and some will hate . it really all boils down to whether or not you\u2019re into avant - garde films . if you favor unconventional flicks that force viewers to absorb a story that really is no story , but more a twisted character examination , you\u2019ll get a kick out of this . if movies like fear and loathing in las vegas grab your attention , maybe a film like lowlife will leave you feeling quite satisfied . i , for one , don\u2019t really care for these kinds of pics . a quality story , or , at the very least some eye popping visuals and smooth action scenes are required to keep my tail planted in my seat . lowlife is bereft of both of most of those qualities , but there\u2019s an audience for this one , there\u2019s no doubt .\ni don\u2019t think there\u2019s any snobbery in the film . it was actually heartwarming . nobby is a family man and he is loyal to his wife and kids , and loyal to his brother . the plot is about him giving up his adoption place so that his younger brother can have a nice life , so he\u2019s a good character , not a lowlife . i think anybody would warm to nobby because his heart is in the right place and , in the end , he\u2019s always doing the right thing .\nlowlife is full of fun ideas and great performances of some really compelling odd - ball characters , maintaining a heavy sense of drama throughout yet frequently delivering comedic riffs . it ' s a wild and thrilling story from start to finish . my movie of 2017 so far , and i expect to see it many times again once it becomes available .\ntsuneishi also professed full faith in her director : \u201ci personally agreed with [ williams\u2019 ] commitment to depicting what he wanted to depict , and it\u2019s up to each individual viewer to interpret the film in their own way . i thought it was a good opportunity to participate in the film , because by portraying these problems , it can instigate discussion . \u201d\ni thought it was an excellent film . the action scenes would put any james bond movie to shame and the cast was brilliant . the whole cinema was laughing out loud .\nshot in the woods near crystal crescent beach and at agricola street locations , smith pegs the budget for lowlife at around $ 5 , 000 , and most of that was for post - production expenses . casting friends and family , with a major role going to his dog woofy ( under the more distinguished stage name woof alexander ) , he kept his crew small .\nthe innocent man wrongly accused , fighting for the elusive truth that will free him : it\u2019s a familiar theme in literature and film , and it seems unlikely to ever wear out its welcome .\nthe tone for each section shifts dramatically . we go from abject horror of organ harvesting to s surreal luchador tale to ardent melodrama to a tarantinoesque crime comedy about too fools in way over their heads . it\u2019s a disorienting experience , and a risky experiment . but by the time you get to randy lecturing keith that it\u2019s prejudiced to judge him by his swastika tattoo , lowlife steps up to something strangely special . here , the team of screenwriters takes swings at tone - deaf pc culture with a white dude who argues the color on his skin shouldn\u2019t matter , declaring , \u201cnot cool calling me a nazi . you don\u2019t know my struggle . \u201d it\u2019s a special mix of outrageousness and obliviousness that lowlife plays for laughs , and it pays off with big ones .\nhe admitted to being surprised about the approach taken by japanese media : \u201ci keep hearing that either i or my film is causing quite a stir . but i would put a positive spin on this . it\u2019s a welcome thing , because it\u2019s no longer just a film being released . it\u2019s gone beyond those boundaries and will reach many more people . so it\u2019s not such a bad thing . \u201d\nthis is what happens when the comic book fanboys have taken over the asylum . it is damaged goods from the get - go , the kind of film grown in a petri dish in hollywood .\ni feel as though the dc comics franchise may have publicly performed its suicide with this film . what began with a few interesting characters , dragged on into a 40 minute exposition of the film ' s universe and a census of the overpopulated neighborhood . then the big baddie is revealed - - and it makes no sense . the wheels fell off the wagon from there . dreadful . absolutely dreadful .\nlet\u2019s put it this way : lowlife lives up to its comparisons to the early work of the two davids of cinematic weirdness \u2014 cronenberg and lynch \u2014 as its two protagonists , asa ( musician and divorce records / obey convention guru darcy spidle ) and elle ( kate hartigan ) , are caught in the thrall of a psychoactive drug obtained by sucking on the secretions of a rare freshwater starfish .\ntoei makes no bones about its intention to recapture the invigorating jolt with which that classic franchise was met . \u201cto make a film about the wild way of life of outlaws in the showa period in the current heisei era is an ambitious act , \u201d read the production notes for the blood of wolves . \u201c [ it\u2019s also ] a challenge to japan\u2019s film industry , and to modern society itself . \u201d\n\u201ci think you have to take a different approach to a film like this . it\u2019s not a commercial film and it didn\u2019t cost a lot of money to make . we\u2019re going to show it at a few genre - based festivals , but what we\u2019re most interested in doing is touring it around like we\u2019ve done with music in the past , and hope to set up a canada - wide screening in november .\nthe dark drama about an isolated teen facing accusations of planning a school massacre that terrifies a small town last week shared the best debut feature prize at the toronto international film festival with brandon cronenberg\u2019 s antiviral .\nproduction company : lowlife , llc cast : mark burnham , santana dempsey , nicki micheaux , shaye ogbonna , jon oswald , ricardo adam zarate director : ryan prows screenwriters : ryan prows , tim cairo , jake gibson , shaye ogbonna , maxwell michael towson producers : tim cairo , derek bishe , narineh hacopian executive producers : james norrie , robert bevan , cyril megret , ian davies , mark foligno , tor bengtsson , jake gibson , lauren lillie director of photography : benjamin kitchens production designer : callie andreadis costume designer : alicia ast editors : brett w . bachman , jarod shannon composer : kreng venue : fantasia international film festival\nthe bloody , bizarro highlight of this year ' s fantasia film festival , ryan prows ' lowlife lives up to its name and then some , spilling eccentric mayhem across several blocks of working -

rolling that greeted so many of those films . boutique distribs should pay attention as it begins its festival - circuit run .\n\u201ci think of cinema as a means of escaping , and drugs can be the same way , so this seemed like a good way to do some artier , craftier things with a film , \u201d says smith .\nthe combination of uniqueness and limitations of the pic actually minimalizes what i can discuss . the truth is , there really isn\u2019t much more to say for lowlife . it\u2019s a weird , experimental feature that could very well draw a cult following . it could conceivably disappear just as easily . it\u2019s tough to predict the future for this one , but if smith continues to make unusual features like this , he could well turn it into an embraced trademark style . lowlife isn\u2019t your average flick , and i actually wouldn\u2019t even consider it horror , but i was blown away by a few shots , and the concept as a whole was enough to make me think twice . oddball flick , and you may just find it gratifying . this is one that has to be seen to be properly judged , and chances are everyone\u2019s verdict is going to differ to some degree .\nvisually , the film is too tightly wound : ryan ' s character positioning is glaringly stagey , while the film ' s overall look is drab . its production and costume palette consists of dull , earth tones , which are further dulled by cinematographer andrew dunn ' s murky lensing . on the near - plus side , john mellencamp ' s string - swept score grates and swirls , both ascendant and funereal , nicely amplifying the characters ' tribulations .\neven the infrequent filmgoer in japan knows that hirokazu kore -

face swastika tattoo , if that helps give you an idea what you ' re in for ? to define the genre is tough - on one hand you could say it ' s a comic book style crime caper but that would be so reductive towards what ' s an incredibly smart , inventive , compassionate , funny , brilliant one - of - a - kind film .\n\u201cafter living in halifax for most of our adult lives , we had all just moved to rural , coastal communities , \u201d darcy explains . \u201cour concepts of urban and country were certainly shifting . there seems to be a particular kind of alienation that comes from living in the sticks that , for better or worst , forces a person inward . i suppose lowlife exploits this idea . on a more aesthetic level , i think using the forest and ocean in early spring gave our film a rugged look and feel . the actors and crew were always hurting , wet , and cold . it was often a brutal experience , and i hope it shows on the screen . \u201d\nthis sort of genre film should be my bag but i was so disappointed . it ' s not that it ' s bad it just doesn ' t have anything that elevates it above any other indie films of this type .\nthose familiar with the work of actor dean fujioka , a homegrown megastar with a fervid asian following , may be surprised by his limited screen time in a film by a director whose leanings are resolutely arthouse , rather than commercial .\nappearing for the q & a session following fccj\u2019s sneak preview screening , the writer -

( the only moment of the film that can possibly be interpreted as subversive is when ando wears a t - shirt bearing the message freedom is never voluntary . it must be demanded by the oppressed . )\nit is probably the most ridiculous film i\u2019ve ever seen in my life . it was complete and utter nonsense , but \u2013 i have to admit \u2013 it was quite funny . it certainly wouldn\u2019t be everybody\u2019s cup of tea and it\u2019s exceedingly crude , but you\u2019ve just got to relax and enjoy it .\nperhaps what \u201clowlife\u201d does best is expose the underbelly of an america that has always existed , but one that will certainly grow more dangerous and cutthroat under a presidency that continually fans the flames of anti - immigration sentiments and threatens to strip even the most basic healthcare from struggling communities who need it most . while organ harvesting has long been a favorite of horror movies and urban legend , it\u2019s not a far stretch to imagine the black market stepping in to fill a void , as it has certainly done in the past , especially when human lives are devalued based on their ethnicity and immigration status .\nathe festival\u2019s numerous world premieres included ryan prows ' lowlife , steve mitchell ' s king cohen , patrick demers ' origami , ted geoghegan ' s mohawk , giordano giulivi ' s the laplace ' s demon , navin ramaswaran ' s poor agnes , gina haraszti ' s geek girls , gela babluani ' s money ' s money , gabriela amaral almeida ' s friendly beast , caroline labr\u00e8che and steeve l\u00e9onard ' s radius , robert morin ' s le probleme d ' infiltration , gabriel claveau ' s punk fu zombie , and synapse films ' 4k restoration of dario argento ' s 1977 classic suspiria .\na japanese journalist asked whether kore - eda could possibly have \u201ctargeted the film at japanese politicians , due to its treatment of social problems\u201d that are being overlooked . the director immediately responded , \u201cnot in particular . i say no because i\u2019ve felt this way since the days when i worked in tv . one of my coworkers told me , \u2018when you make a film , target it toward one individual and keep that person firmly in mind . if you do that , you\u2019ll be able to reach many people . \u2019 i was in my 20s at the time , and i\u2019ve continued to have this stance . \u201d\nthe movie ' s other characters have almost all been forced into similar moral compromises , sometimes unwittingly . to go into much more detail would ruin some of the surprises in a script credited to prows and four collaborators , but as sordid as things get , the picture contains just enough tension - deflating comic moments to be called fun . ( well ,\nfun\nfor moviegoers unfazed by over - the - top gore . ) bracing and well paced , it may occasionally stretch too far for an attention - getting quirk , but lowlife feels fresher than it has any right to be , given its ingredients .\nfilmed previously as the human comedy in 1943 , this rebirth is almost a casebook study of how not to transpose \u201cliterature\u201d to film . a heartfelt yet sodden directorial debut by meg ryan , ithaca is wordy and static . saroyan ' s novel was a sharp smear on the fragility of life in a world of wild extremes and shifting circumstances . unfortunately , the film ' s drama is enervated by incessant voiceover , background radio , newsreels , out - loud letter readings and other noise . while it reunites meg ryan and tom hanks , which might prove alluring in ads , hanks appears only in a tiny book - end role .\nel monstruo will smash about back alleys , backyards , and phone booths , unfurling an absurd beginning to a potential redemption arc . but abruptly , we leave him to enter \u201cfiends , \u201d an earnestly dramatic chapter that follows an alcoholic turned sober hotel owner ( nicki micheaux ) , who is dealing with teddy to get a crucial operation for her ailing ( and still drinking ) mate . her story is tragic , spiked with bitterness and bad decisions , but a fragile ray of hope shimmers when her story abruptly collides with el monstruo . as the two join forces , lowlife leaps to \u201cthugs , \u201d which is its most lively and insanely outlandish section .\nthe caper that ties all these characters together is better viewed than explained , particularly considering the playful chronology that prows puts forth . broken into three acts , the film shifts perspective from character to character . because five different screenwriters wrote it , the tone is all over the place , but it ' s never distracting . instead ,\nbut the good news was quickly hijacked by right - wing japanese commentators , who \u2014 without viewing the film , and perhaps without having a clue that the bulk of japanese cinema does not treat the country\u2019s social ills as if they are taboo subjects \u2014 immediately began condemning it for the damage it could cause to japan\u2019s international reputation .\nshiraishi has explored territory similar to the blood of wolves in his previous high - octane actioners the devil\u2019s path ( 2013 ) and twisted justice ( 2016 ) , both of which won numerous awards . but he hits a career high with his new film . the boisterous , brutal cinematic bombshell made its world premiere in udine , italy at the far east film festival in april and has already been booked for extensive international festival play . should it prove to be a commercial hit at home , there\u2019s every chance that toei will move forward with yuzuki\u2019s just - released kyouken no me ( literally eye of the mad dog ) , the second in a planned trilogy .\n\u201cthe fantasy / drug concept was a way to allow us some experimentation in filming and not have to commit to a realistic , linear narrative , \u201d he says . \u201cas for the black and white look , i thought it would go nicely with the movie\u2019s dark tone , and it seemed like an interesting take on a psychedelic drug flick . the name lowlife came from a prop we had on set . i had made up a bunch of fake book spines for a bookshelf shot , and over time , seeing it in the scene , it just sort of summed it all up . . . and maybe reflected how we were feeling making it . \u201d\n\u201cwe were very lucky to be able to find that house , which we used for the location shots . i think it\u2019s a big factor in the success of the film . my request was to find a single - story house surrounded by tall buildings , and my amazing crew found it . we actually shot some of the interiors on a set that reproduced interiors from the house . thanks to the wonderful production design , even i can\u2019t recall exactly which scenes we shot on location and which were on the set . it was really believable that these people were living together in this house , and i think it\u2019s one of the main characters in the film . \u201d\nfukada explained , \u201cthe idea for the film came from a visit i made to banda aceh back in december 2011 , to shoot a tsunami symposium . it was really interesting , because i discovered big differences in the way [ indonesians and japanese ] view life and death . that\u2019s what stimulated me to consider shooting against that backdrop . \u201d\nshiraishi continued , \u201cthe [ cigarette ] lighter that ultimately went to tori matsuzaka in the film \u2014 he actually took that home with him . he said , \u2018i\u2019m gonna keep this until the next time we meet . \u2019 so if there\u2019s another project with this series , i would be more than happy to take up the challenge . \u201d\nin fact , oh lucy ! does spend substantial time on hartnett\u2019s turf . hirayanagi herself is based in the us , after growing up in japan , going to the us as a high - school exchange student , and then graduating from new york university\u2019s tisch school of the arts in singapore . her thesis film was a short version of oh lucy ! , which went on to win nearly 40 awards around the globe , including prizes at the cannes , sundance , toronto and sxsw film festivals . although she was courted to direct other projects , she decided to first explore lucy\u2019s story further , and with initial funding from sundance and japan\u2019s nhk , went on to craft the feature version .\nsharvan and jack went to lisbon for a few days to visit our good friend jorn . we decided to film the trip and everything around it , we had some really good times , shitty and smooth weather , and met the nicest dude johan ! thanks jorn for the hospitality , showing us the city , the good times , just everything !\nthe first chapter , \u201cmonsters , \u201d begins with a steely close - up of the el monstruo ( ricardo adam zarate ) , a luchador in a baby - blue western suit monologuing about his family\u2019s legacy of churning out wrestlers who are heroes to the people . he laments that he is small , and a disappointment to the legacy . but oh , how he dreams to do right by his ancestors . but who is he talking to ? cut to a wide shot , and revealed is a bored mexican girl , draped in a bubbly pink quincea\u0107\u00b1era dress , her arms crossed , her face annoyed . this ludicrous contrast is the first hint of lowlife \u2019s deeply bizarre brand of humor .\n\u201canother idea that made its way into the film came from research we did at a facility for abused children . there was one girl who came back from school with her [ heavy backpack ] and we asked what she was studying . she pulled out this japanese picture book called \u2018swimmy , \u2019 and started reading . the facility workers scolded her for taking up too much of our time , but she wouldn\u2019t stop . she read all the way to the very end , and we all clapped , and she just beamed . i imagined that she probably wanted to read it to her parents , and that left a really deep impression on me . so i had the boy read \u2018swimmy\u2019 in the film .\nwell , there you go . i\u2019m interested this , if only because it appears to take place in roughly the same area / time frame , and i tend to enjoy crime movies like that . on the other hand , i really just want to know what the heck is going on . hopefully i get a chance at this year\u2019s fantasia film fest .\ni\u2019ve said it a couple times before but i\u2019ll say it again , ifc midnight tends to overhype their films . yes there have been films that lived up to the hype and then there\u2019s ones that haven\u2019t , i was really scared that lowlife was going to be one of those movies where it just didn\u2019t live up to the hype . luckily i was proved wrong , this movie is surprisingly very dark and exactly what i was looking for . . . . different . the movie has this really really dark humor that actually works quite well , also found this movie somewhat disturbing in a way . just how they handled the subject matter was just really surprising and something you seriously would not expect , i also found\u2026"]}

r ) first lady pat nixon , president richard nixon , tricia nixon and edward cox at wedding reception at white house on june 12th , 1971 .\nnarrator : to some , it seemed that kennedy ' s assassination might open the way for nixon in the next election , but sensing the mood of the country , nixon concluded that lyndon johnson , the new president , would be unbeatable in 1964 .\nnarrator : an angry , resentful richard nixon strode from the beverly hilton on november 7 , 1962 , seemingly bound for political oblivion .\nbarring a miracle ,\nsaid time magazine , richard nixon ' s political career was over .\njohn ehrlichman , nixon campaign staff : richard nixon was studiedly different to different people . and i don ' t think there ' s any one person , including his wife probably , who could sit down and write the definitive explanation of richard nixon . we all saw him differently .\nbased on real life events , assassination is set in 1974 and centers on a businessman who decides to take extreme measures to achieve his american dream .\nrichard m . nixon , then seeking the republican presidential nomination , addresses an audience in oregon in may 1968 . ap hide caption\nnarrator : on february 18 , 1972 , richard nixon began still another remarkable comeback , with a stunning foreign policy success .\nheroic bsod : the treble whammy of being divorced , getting his loan rejected and the discovery of the attempted tyre theft ( which in turn leads to his brother disowning him ) all in the space of a few days drives sam over the edge and leads to his assassination attempt .\nit is to be richard nixon ' s foreign policy and it is to be carried out with sophistication and some subtlety by henry kissinger .\ndrawing on material from his new book , american maelstrom , michael a . cohen shows how clinton is working from richard nixon\u2019s comeback playbook .\nyet , the one person often given short shrift when we talk about 1968 is the one who was the last man standing when all was said and done\u2014richard nixon .\nthe heart of nixon\u2019s speech , however , was directed toward the hopes and fears of those he called \u201cthe great majority of americans . \u201d\nnearly 40 years before the obama white house denounced the wikileaks website for publishing classified documents , another president , richard nixon , was even more obsessed with the same phenomenon .\n11th newscaster : good evening . the 37th president of the united states , richard m . nixon , is in china , the first american chief executive ever to visit the world ' s most populous country .\nformer president richard nixon meets in the oval office with top aides , left to right , h . r . haldeman , dwight chapin and john ehrlichman .\nexcerpted from poisoning the press : richard nixon , jack anderson , and the rise of washington ' s scandal culture by mark feldstein . copyright 2010 by mark feldstein . excerpted by permission of farrar , straus and giroux .\nnarrator : richard nixon loved the movie patton and watched it again and again in the white house . general george patton was a man of action , contemptuous of his critics , uncompromising , determined to win at all costs .\nwell meaning comparisons can sometimes do more harm than good . equating the assassination of richard nixon with one of the best plays ever written and some of the best movies ever made places a heavy burden of expectation upon this little film ' s shoulders - but they are valid reference points . this is no a - list star vehicle for sean penn ; instead , it ' s a politically daring , psychologically troubling , based - on - fact american tragedy that took years to secure funding and only got made because of the artistic integrity of those involved .\nhow did all of this come to pass ? in many ways , the rise of washington\u2019s modern scandal culture began with richard nixon and jack anderson , and their blistering twenty - five - year battle symbolized and accelerated the growing conflict between the presidency and the press in the cold war era . this bitter struggle between the most embattled politician and reviled investigative reporter of their time would lead to bribery and blackmail , forgery and burglary , sexual smears and secret surveillance - - as well as the assassination plot . their story reveals not only how one president sabotaged the press , but also how this rancorous relationship continues to the present day . it was richard nixon\u2019s ultimate revenge .\nrichard nixon is remembered as a ruthless politician driven at times by fear and hatred of his perceived enemies . but a new book suggests that nixon ' s paranoia was based at least in part on his own experience .\nin poisoning the press : richard nixon , jack anderson and the rise of washington ' s scandal culture , mark feldstein describes the epic battle between nixon and the muckraking syndicated columnist jack anderson . feldstein follows the rise of anderson ' s investigative journalism career and explains how his decades -

gun tapes showing nixon ordering the assassination of anderson . what hunt and liddy both said was that the order came from [ white house special counsel ] charles colson . but what hunt told me before his death was that he believed that colson was acting at the behest of the president himself . . . . i find it very difficult to believe that colson and the other aides were acting without the implicit support of president nixon . it defies logic to imagine that they would cook this up , the assassination of a journalist as prominent as jack anderson , unless they had the signal from above to do it .\ngoldwater was , of course , crushed at the polls\u2014an outcome that pleased nixon , because it meant that after the greatest popular vote loss in american history , republicans were going to be looking for a less inflammatory leader , who could unite the party . someone like richard nixon .\nnarrator : miami beach , august 1972 , two months after the watergate break - in , a triumphant richard nixon took command at the republican national convention . narrowly elected four years earlier , nixon now wanted to win the biggest landslide in presidential history .\nnarrator : on august 9 , 1974 , richard milhous nixon became the first president in the history of the united states to resign from office . his staff gathered in the white house to bid him farewell , as millions of americans watched on television , some in sorrow and disbelief , others glad to see him go . richard nixon had accomplished great things as president and had been reelected overwhelmingly , but he was also widely distrusted , sometimes ridiculed , even despised .\n3rd reporter : you ' ve just heard richard nixon refer to you , among all these people , as the\nforgotten americans .\nwhat do you think he ' s referring to ?\nsean penn plays bicke as a man who has always been socially inept and now , as his life comes apart , descends into madness . his own frustration and the evils in the world are all the same , all somehow someone else ' s fault , and in the opening scene of\nthe assassination of richard nixon ,\nwe see him in an airport parking garage , concealing a pistol in a leg brace . he mails one last tape to leonard bernstein . he plans to hijack a plane and fly it into the white house .\nmr . patrick hillings , campaign staff : during the eisenhower years , nixon became the point man . eisenhower never expected to have to get into too much political discussion , but that was one of the reasons he put young senator richard nixon on the ticket , because he could do that . so all the tough political assignments usually were given to nixon .\nnarrator : the fate of lyndon johnson did haunt richard nixon . he felt he had to demonstrate that most americans still supported him and that it would not benefit hanoi to stall peace negotiations .\ndon ' t get rattled .\npres . nixon : one constantly has the problem of either getting on top of the job or having the job get on top of you . i find that up here on top of the mountain , it is easier for me to get on top of the job .\nnarrator : by election night , nixon and humphrey were dead even . nixon prepared his family for the possibility of still another defeat .\nmr . john ehrlichman , nixon campaign staff : richard nixon pulled it into the white house . he couldn ' t leave it alone . and so , within a week after the break - in , or maybe two weeks , he had personally involved himself in the intrigue of the whole thing . so nixon sealed his fate six days after the break - in .\nfamily of accused nixon plotter mona el namer wife of ahmed rageh namer , accused in alleged plot to assassinate president - elect richard nixon , sits with namer\u2019s two sisters in the family\u2019s mud - walled home in the remote mountain village of al matawir , yemen . the two sisters are miseiak namer , left and saadiek namer . namer\u2019s two sons are also held in the alleged plot .\n12th newscaster : president nixon ' s motorcade is now sweeping toward the city of peking .\nnarrator : nixon promised his family a moratorium on politics in 1967 , but immediately took off on a grueling tour of four continents . traveling as a private citizen , the former vice president could still command a crowd in the most remote reaches of the globe . his trips kept him in the news and strengthened his grasp of foreign policy . once again , richard nixon was aiming for the presidency .\nhoward k . smith , moderator : the candidates need no introduction : the republican candidate , vice president richard m . nixon and the democratic candidate , senator john f . kennedy . according to the rules set by the candidates themselves each man - -\na day - by - day itinerary of nixon ' s trip to china .\nin 1956 , murray kempton wrote , \u201cgreat care had gone into the construction of the shadow which declares itself to be richard nixon . \u201d but in a single morning of pique , all those many years he had spent developing and honing the self - discipline and contrived earnestness that lay at the heart of his political success had been wiped away .\nnarrator : in the end , it proved to be one of the closest elections in history . kennedy won by only 100 , 000 votes and charges of democratic fraud were widespread . much of the winning margin came from lyndon johnson ' s texas and richard j . daley ' s chicago , but nixon refused to demand a recount .\nadlai stevenson , democratic national candidate 1956 : i must say bluntly that every piece of scientific evidence we have , every lesson of history and experience indicates that a republican victory tomorrow would mean that richard nixon would probably be president of this country within the next four years . i say frankly , as a citizen more than a candidate , that i recoil at the prospect of mr . nixon as custodian of this nation ' s future , as guardian of the hydrogen bomb , as representative of america in the world , as commander - in - chief of the united states armed forces .\nforegone conclusion : anyone even vaguely familiar with history is probably going to remember that richard nixon was in fact not assassinated , and that the white house was not destroyed by having an airliner fly into it .\ntwo days later , five burglars working for the committee to re - elect richard nixon entered the watergate complex in washington . they broke into the office of the democratic national committee , placed bugs on the telephones and made their escape . but the microphones failed to work . they would have to go back .\nnarrator : h . r . haldeman , a former advertising executive who had been at nixon ' s side since 1956 , was made chief of staff . he was proud , he once said , to be richard nixon ' s\nson of a bitch .\njohn ehrlichman , a lawyer and top aide during the campaign , would handle much of domestic policy .\nbut most people are unaware that a brooklyn man , born in yemen named ahmed rageh namer was arrested along with his two sons in 1968 and charged with conspiracy to kill president - elect richard nixon .\nover the next six years richard nixon would transform himself into the \u201cnew nixon\u201d\u2014or , perhaps more accurately , the \u201cnew , new nixon . \u201d the overwrought and emotionally coiled politician of old had disappeared . in his place emerged a patient , disciplined , affable , even self - effacing nixon , who brought the two wings of a warring political party together under his leadership . during his years in the political wilderness , after the \u201clast press conference , \u201d nixon exhibited a self - discipline , energy , and single - minded devotion to winning the presidency that showed why he should be ranked among the most talented politicians of the 20th century .\nnarrator : nixon announced he was releasing edited transcripts of the tapes to the committee and the public simultaneously . the president himself had supervised the editing .\npres . nixon : [ at the grand ole opry ] if you ' ll join us in this song , i think you ' ll recognize it when i start it . just let me get a chord . [ richard nixon plays on the piano\nwild irish rose ]\nthe assassination of richard nixon\nis about a man on a collision course ; given the stark terms in which he arranges right and wrong , he will sooner or later crack up . he hasn ' t a clue about appropriate behavior , about how others perceive him , about what may be right but is nevertheless impossible . the movie ' s title has one effect before we see it , and another afterward , when we can see the grandiosity and self - deceit that it implies . what really happens is that sam bicke assassinates himself .\nhelen gahagan douglas : [ 1979 interview ] when richard nixon ran for the house of representatives and unseated jerry voorhis , it was the same kind of campaign as he waged against me in 1950 , but the essence of that kind of campaign is this : to avoid the issues , you work up bogus issues , trying to play on the fears of people because if you talk about the real issues , you may lose votes . it ' s as simple as that .\nthere was a real sam bicke ( spelled byck ) , whose plan of course failed . niels mueller ' s movie is based on his botched assassination scheme , but many of the other details , including some scenes of mordant humor , are the invention of mueller and his co - writer , kevin kennedy . this is a character study of a marginal man who goes off the rails , and penn is brilliant at evoking how daily life itself is filled , for bicke , with countless challenges to his rigid sense of right and wrong .\nnarrator : on september 8 , 1974 , president gerald ford granted richard nixon a full and absolute pardon . over 70 others were found guilty of criminal acts and punished . the contradictions of nixon ' s career - - his triumphs and defeats , grand vision and petty grievances - - have left their imprint on america , but his legacy remains ambiguous .\nthe judgment of history ,\nnixon has said ,\ndepends on who writes it .\nnarrator : on capitol hill , the judiciary committee prepared to vote on three articles of impeachment . they charged the president with obstruction of justice , abuse of power and contempt of congress .\nruckelshaus refused , in a moment of constitutional drama , to obey a presidential order to fire the special watergate prosecutor . and half an hour after the special watergate prosecutor had been fired , agents of the fbi , acting at the direction of the white house , sealed off the offices of the special prosecutor , the offices of the attorney general and the offices of the deputy attorney general .\nthe two men \u2014 and nixon \u2014 then discussed the idea of digging up information that hume and anderson were gay .\nnarrator : nixon ' s gamble paid off . the soviets did not cancel the summit . on may 22 , 1972 , richard nixon became the first american president ever to set foot inside the kremlin . nixon had done what none of his predecessors had been able to do . he had negotiated a treaty in which the two superpowers agreed to slow an arms race that had been accelerating for more than a quarter of a century . it was his greatest achievement .\nsix weeks after the invasion of laos , president richard nixon of the united states held a gala affair in honor of st . patrick\u2019s day and his wife pat\u2019s 59th birthday . three hundred guests attended , among them \u201cbebe\u201d robozo , the president\u2019s best friend ; three democratic senators whose names begin with \u201cme , \u201d robert abplanalp , the aerosol king of bronxville ; the howard elles coxes of new york ; irene \u201cgranny\u201d ryan of the beverly hillbillies , and fred mcmurray , who looked mystified and said , \u201ci don\u2019t know why i\u2019m here . \u201d\nnarrator : early the next morning , nixon went to the pentagon for a firsthand briefing . the military was reporting success . nixon was encouraged and praised american soldiers fighting in the jungles of southeast asia . the wife of one of those soldiers reached out to shake his hand . nixon drew a sharp contrast between the troops in vietnam and the student protesters at home .\nroger morris , nixon biographer : richard nixon does not simply defeat jerry voorhis for the congress or defeat helen gahagan douglas for the senate in 1950 , he destroys these people politically and very nearly personally . and he does that in such a way as to leave a great legacy of bitterness among their supporters and even among onlookers , people who were sort of neutral observers on the side .\nboth harvard and yale invited nixon to apply for scholarships , but his dream of a prestigious eastern university was frustrated . it was 1930 , the great depression and harold was in the midst of his long struggle with tuberculosis .\nwe needed richard at home ,\nhannah nixon remembered . nixon had to settle for whittier college just down the road and later said he ' d never felt disappointed . he soon became a big man on the small campus .\nnarrator : republicans once again pinned their presidential hopes on richard nixon . to them and to many in the press , he seemed a\nnew nixon ,\nbetter prepared than the man who had lost in 1960 . but the democratic front runner , hubert humphrey , said he ' d seen it all before .\nas sam ' s breakdown descends into paranoia and , in turn , into political scheming , the obvious cinematic touchstones are the key movies that were made around the time that this one is set - taxi driver , the conversation , all the president ' s men . the sweaty , untrustworthy face of richard nixon haunts sam from nearby tv screens .\nnarrator : the microfilm , thereafter known as\nthe pumpkin papers ,\nprovided the evidence and the publicity nixon needed . finally , after two controversial trials , hiss was found guilty of perjury and imprisoned . the hiss case polarized american opinion about richard nixon . to conservatives , he had fearlessly rooted out a dangerous subversive , but in the eyes of many liberals , nixon had destroyed an honorable man and set the stage for more unscrupulous communist hunters . but there was no doubt that , at the age of 35 , the congressman from whittier had become a national figure .\nnarrator : when richard was 12 , his younger brother arthur suddenly fell ill and died . and within eight years , harold , the eldest brother and family favorite , would succumb to tuberculosis . hannah nixon recalled ,\nit was arthur ' s passing that first stirred within richard a determination to help make up for our loss by making us very proud of him . he may have felt a kind of guilt that harold and arthur were dead and he was alive ,\nshe remembered .\nthe nixon - kennedy debates would forever change the way americans chose their presidents .\neditor\u2019s note : in \u201c the nixon sightings , \u201d steve hess recalls five key moments in his time working with richard m . nixon . each vignette offers a peek into some of the events that drove a young senator from california to the oval office . this series was written as background to hess\u2019 new book the professor and the president : daniel patrick moynihan in the nixon white house ( brookings press , december 2014 ) , a \u201cdramatic narrative\u201d of events in 1969 - 1970 , told in the present tense .\nvice pres . nixon : i now declare that john f . kennedy has been elected president of the united states and lyndon johnson vice president of the united states .\nnarrator : richard nixon was favorite to win the republican presidential nomination in 1960 . events of the last four years had made him one of the most visible vice presidents in history . during a tour of south america , he had faced down angry leftist mobs that spat upon him and his wife and attacked their motorcade . maintaining his composure throughout the ordeal , nixon returned home to a hero ' s welcome . and in moscow , he had confronted the leader of the communist world , nikita khrushchev , in an impromptu televised debate .\nmr . john ehrlichman , nixon campaign staff : the moratorium itself was seen by richard nixon as 200 , 000 people out there on the mall , protesting his foreign policy while at the same time , the polls were showing that 58 - 59 percent of the american people supported him in his foreign policy . and he would look out the window and he would say ,\ni simply cannot permit foreign policy to be made in the streets of washington .\nnarrator : nixon was less aggressive in 1956 than in earlier campaigns . the press began to write of a\nnew nixon ,\nbut the vice president remained the democrats ' favorite target .\nnarrator : even the president ' staff watched as a parade of witnesses implicated haldeman , ehrlichman and others high in the administration and the nixon campaign . but in the first month of testimony , the president himself escaped direct charges of wrongdoing . then the committee summoned its star witness , john dean . in a seven - hour opening statement , dean described the atmosphere of the nixon white house .\npresident richard milhous nixon : [ august 9 , 1974 ] you are here to say goodbye to us and we don ' t have a good word for it in english . the best is au revoir . we ' ll see you again .\nthe white house obsession with anderson \u2014 whose\nwashington merry go - round\ncolumn was the wikileaks of its day \u2014 is detailed in a new book being published this month , \u201cpoisoning the press : richard nixon , jack anderson and the rise of washington\u2019s scandal culture , \u201d by journalism professor mark feldstein . the book relies in part on newly unearthed tapes from the national archives that document how nixon\u2019s aides plotted to destroy anderson by planting forged evidence with him and spreading false rumors about his sex life and that of one of his associates .\npres . nixon : our distinguished guests and my fellow americans , i proudly present to you the man whose name i will submit to the congress of the united states for confirmation as the vice president of the united states , congressman gerald ford of michigan .\nmr . roger morris , nixon biographer : richard nixon is forever embittered by the experience and - - taken with the example , i think - - feels that never again will he be caught short , never again will his opponents outdo him and never again will he trust the ordinary , normal and honest devices of american politics to function as they ' re supposed to .\nvice pres . nixon : [ announcing gubernatorial candidacy ] i shall not be a candidate for president of the united states in 1964 . i shall be a candidate for governor of the state of california in 1962 .\nnixon will not be writing the making of the president 1964 . i go home to washington , a city now in mourning .\nvice pres . nixon : well , of course , it was the greatest of the campaign and i think this means that we ' re on the way to victory in new york .\nnarrator :\nrichard had his father ' s fire ,\nhis mother , hannah milhous nixon once said ,\nand my tact .\nshe seemed the opposite of the loud , aggressive husband her quaker family always believed beneath her : soft - spoken , tightly controlled , never allowing anger to get the better of her . she insisted her second son be called\nrichard ,\nnot\ndick ,\ntaught him to read before he entered school and made sure he said his prayers daily and went four times to quaker meeting on sundays .\nnarrator : one of the largest audiences in television history watched on may 17th as senator sam ervin opened the investigation of nixon ' s re - election campaign and the watergate break - in .\nnarrator : for two years , the burglary of ellsberg ' s psychiatrist ' s office had remained one of the most closely - guarded secrets of the nixon white house . now , dean ' s revelation suggested that the watergate break - in was not an isolated event . it was part of a web of illegal activities ordered by the president ' s men .\nnarrator : suddenly , nixon faced a scandal of his own . the new york post reported that wealthy supporters had set up a secret fund for nixon ' s personal use .\nnarrator : nixon was swept into office with 60 percent of the vote , part of a nationwide republican surge . his boyhood goal to enter politics had been achieved .\nnarrator : on election night , nixon watched the returns with two of his closest aides , chief of staff h . r . haldeman and special counsel chuck colson .\namerica , 1974 . samuel bicke ( penn ) is suffering a breakdown . unable to lie to customers at work , he ' s a failure as a salesman as well as a failure as a husband . so he figures the only way to give his life significance is to target the greatest liar of the age - president richard nixon .\nralph de toledano , early nixon biographer : nixon realized that once he had committed himself , that if everything collapsed , if hiss was exonerated or if the charges were not proved to the hilt , he would be badly hurt . now , i don ' t think he would have been permanently hurt , but certainly , i think if that had happened , richard nixon would never have become a senator and never would have become president of the united states .\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\nsecond - grade teacher : i taught richard nixon in the second grade here in yorba linda . he sat in the back seat and always came to school with a white starched shirt with long sleeves . he was always a quiet , dignified little fellow and a very good student .\nnarrator : within hours , nixon ordered elliott richardson to fire archibald cox . but nixon had miscalculated . richardson refused .\nat various points nixon realized the depth of the hole he was digging and fell back on insincere and formulaic platitudes : \u201ci appreciate the press coverage of the campaign , \u201d and \u201ci congratulate governor brown , \u201d who , he said , has \u201cthe greatest honor\u201d of any governor in america . his back and forth between sincerity and artifice offered the press conference\u2019s most revealing moment\u2014a telling indication of the wide gap between the real nixon and the manufactured one .\nnixon decided to use force to end the vietnam war with\nthe christmas bombing .\nvice pres . nixon : there must be a free exchange of ideas . there are some instances where you may be ahead of us , for example , in the development of your - - of the thrust of your rockets for the investigation of outer space . there may be some instances - - for example , color television - - where we ' re ahead of you , but in order for both of us - - [ khrushchev interrupts ] for both of us to benefit - - for both of us to benefit - - you see , you never concede anything .\nthe mood in room 724 of the beverly hilton on the morning of november 7 , 1962 , could best be described as funereal . after all , nine hours earlier richard nixon\u2019s political career had , from all appearances , died . nearly two years to the day after his bid to be president of the united states had been narrowly rejected by the american people , california voters gave him a similar , if more stinging , rebuke\u2014by re - electing his opponent , the state\u2019s liberal democratic governor , pat brown .\nand on august 3 , 1948 , shortly after the birth of nixon ' s second daughter , julie , an unlikely drama began that would make the issue of communist subversion front - page news and make congressman nixon a national figure almost overnight .\nnarrator : the emphasis on law and order appealed to millions of americans . nixon ' s television commercials hammered it home .\nlike the man who won the white house 48 years ago , clinton may not be the most popular candidate in the world ; she might have high unfavorabilities ; and may be viewed with deep contempt by her political opponents . but like nixon , by positioning herself as a more palatable option in a year of highly unpalatable presidential options and the safest , least likely to rock the boat candidate for the presidency this year , she stands a good chance of delivering the next inaugural address\u2014and standing in the same spot where richard nixon delivered his 48 years earlier .\nhe was sort of the high guru of the kennedy government - in - waiting in cambridge . and the idea that these kennedy government political operatives were going to be demanding to run barefoot through all the most private files of the nixon white house was utterly appalling and absolutely outrageous .\npresident - elect kennedy : [ taking oath of office ] i , john fitzgerald kennedy , do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states and will , to the best of my ability , preserve , protect and defend the constitution of the united states , so help me god .\nthousands fled . if the offensive were not stopped , the war would be lost and with it , nixon feared , the presidency . but if he ordered a u . s . counterattack , the soviets might cancel the upcoming arms control summit in moscow , a vital part of nixon ' s grand design . most of his advisers urged nixon not to take any action that might jeopardize the summit . once again , nixon overruled them .\nnarrator : boating in the florida keys , nixon was relaxed and confident . he was running far ahead of humphrey in the polls and the vietnam war was splintering the democrats .\nnixon soon chimed in , referring to unsubstantiated rumors about the sex life of anderson and his former employer , columnist drew pearson .\nnarrator : richard nixon was born in the tiny southern california desert town of yorba linda in 1913 . he grew up among the people he would one day call\nforgotten americans ,\nand\nthe silent majority ,\nhard - working , church - going people , farmers , shop keepers , people with an inbred respect for authority and an unyielding belief in the american dream .\nnarrator : by the end of summer , nixon ' s refusal to turn over the tapes and john dean ' s testimony had badly eroded the public ' s support for the president . but after months of unrelenting press coverage , nixon sensed that americans were growing weary of watergate . he moved to take the offensive . for the first time in 14 months , nixon held a televised news conference and tried to turn the persistent questioning to his advantage .\nthe white house obsession soon intensified after anderson \u2014 thanks to the legwork of his young associate brit hume \u2014 got hold of a \u201csmoking gun\u201d memo written by a washington lobbyist tying a $ 400 , 000 political contribution to help underwrite the cost of the 1972 republican national convention to the nixon justice department\u2019s decision to drop an antitrust investigation of the itt telecommunications conglomerate .\nnixon fired special watergate prosecutor archibald cox in\nthe saturday night massacre .\nsenator joseph mccarthy : and call the roll . and call the roll of the traitors who plunder .\nreturning home , nixon landed at a small air force base in maine where the military crowd gave him a warm welcome . but the extraordinary journey that had taken richard nixon all the way from yorba linda to the white house , to peking and moscow , from humiliating defeats to the pinnacle of world power seemed to be coming to an end . most americans had lost faith in the president . they saw a man who had repeatedly lied to cover up his crimes , had subverted the political process and undermined the constitution .\nreprinted and adapted from american maelstrom : the 1968 election and the politics of division with the permission of the author , michael a . cohen , and the publisher , oxford university press .\nnarrator : just 14 years after he was tapped by a group of small - town businessmen to run for congress in california , richard nixon stood at the top of his party . as he mapped out an ambitious 50 - state campaign , he was challenged by his opponent , john f . kennedy , to a series of televised debates , the first in american history . even when hospitalized for two weeks with a knee injury , nixon remained confident , anxious for the debates to begin , eager once again to use television to talk directly to the voters .\npres . nixon : [ inaugural address ] the greatest honor history can bestow is the title of\npeacemaker .\nthis honor now beckons america .\npres . nixon : in giving you these records , blemishes and all , i am placing my trust in the basic fairness of the american people .\nnarrator : was nixon on or off the ticket ? general eisenhower had been frustratingly silent . finally , after three days of waiting , a weary , anxious nixon received eisenhower ' s phone call .\nnarrator : cox and his staff requested sensitive white house files . nixon reluctantly complied . cox also demanded nine of the president ' s tapes . nixon refused . cox took his case to court .\npres . nixon : [ 1972 republican national convention ] tonight , i again proudly accept your nomination for president of the united states .\neven before mccord ' s letter , nixon had ordered john dean to write a report that would exonerate the white house of wrongdoing .\nwashington \u2014 tricia nixon and edward finch cox are reported by friends to be on the verge of getting married much sooner than expected .\nnarrator : in may , the president and mrs . nixon welcomed the returning pow ' s to the white house .\nnarrator : nixon ordered the most drastic escalation of the war since 1968 , massive sustained bombing of hanoi and the mining of haiphong harbor , risking a full - scale confrontation with the soviets by putting their supply ships in peril . after explaining his decision to the american people , he made a direct appeal to the kremlin .\nnarrator : fully recovered , eisenhower announced he would seek reelection , but did not guarantee nixon a place on the ticket . privately , he thought him immature , a political liability . but nixon refused to consider the president ' s offer of a cabinet position instead of the vice presidency .\nnonetheless , nixon\u2019s words played on the same prejudices that animated wallace\u2019s supporters . implicit in his speech\u2014and in his middle - ground positioning\u2014was a darker and more divisive message . those shouting and demonstrating , who didn\u2019t work , who hadn\u2019t served , and who didn\u2019t pay taxes were clearly not included in nixon\u2019s vision of america . nixon\u2019s description of the \u201creal voice of america\u201d left out black voters\u2014despite his kennedy - like appeal\u2014the hippies , the feminists , and the agitators . in time , this us - versus - them construct would become an explicit feature of nixon\u2019s political rhetoric .\nnarrator : just days before , the supreme court had ruled in the case of the united states v . richard nixon .\nthe president must turn over the tapes to the special prosecutor .\nnot even a president , said the court , could withhold evidence in a criminal trial . nixon returned to washington , still calculating the odds . he knew the house of representatives would vote to indict him . there was a chance he might survive a trial in the senate as long as there was no irrefutable evidence that he had personally committed a crime . but nixon himself possessed that evidence , a tape that plainly showed he ' d obstructed justice . his conversation with h . r . haldeman on june 23 , 1972 , when nixon ordered his aides to divert the fbi .\nmr . butler , judiciary committee : there are frightening implications for the future of our country if we do not impeach the president of the united states . if we fail to impeach , we have condoned and left unpunished a course of conduct totally inconsistent with the reasonable expectations of the american people .\nhe is about to sign a book contract with doubleday and i agree to take charge of the research . theodore white\u2019s account of the kennedy - nixon contest , the making of the president 1960 , had explored campaign management , revolutionized political journalism , and been a massive best - seller . now nixon proposes to challenge white with his own version of the making of the president 1964 . the premise is that the former presidential candidate ( no longer a contender having lost his race for california governor ) is better able to explain how the process really works .\nthe enigmatic nature of the nixon presidency combined comparatively progressive legislative initiatives with a flagrant abuse of presidential power and the public trust . even today , decades after his death , richard nixon inspires divided passions in america . nixon was a self - made man who rose from modest quaker beginnings in california to the most powerful office in the world . his story is filled with unlikely successes \u2014 a staunch anti - communist , he improved u . s . - soviet relations and surprised the world by opening up relations with communist china . some credit him with ending the war in vietnam . but nixon ' s career was ultimately undone by his own actions . he abused the power of the office , resigned in humiliation , and tainted the presidency in the process . admired and reviled , loved and hated , the man and his life continue to fascinate us .\nsen . nixon : [ campaigning ] all a democratic congress offers , if elected this year , is a return to the policies of the truman administration .\nnixon ' s failed attempts at ' poisoning the press ' writer mark feldstein says muckraking columnist jack anderson cut ethical corners to get nixon exposes , and the president responded with fury . he recounts surprising details of the long - running battle between the journalist and the politician in poisoning the press .\nnarrator : nixon ' s call to the\nforgotten americans\nappealed to a bread band of voters , mostly white middle class , hawkish , patriotic . it was a group that felt ignored and excluded in the upheavals of the 60s . and the strategy seemed to be working . nixon held his strong lead into the fall .\nnarrator : when he appeared as the guest of honor at a billy graham crusade in tennessee , nixon had been in office 16 months . a majority of americans still backed his vietnam policy , but the furor over cambodia had deepened the divisions nixon had promised to mend . even here , surrounded by thousands who supported him , the president could not escape the ceaseless storm of protest .\nnarrator :\non sunday morning , june 18th ,\nrichard nixon later wrote ,\ni left for key biscayne . when i got to my house , i could smell coffee brewing in the kitchen and i went in to get a cup . there was a miami herald on the counter and i glanced over the front page . the main headline was about the vietnam withdrawals . there was a small story in the middle of the page on the left - hand side .\nnarrator : away from the convention floor , eisenhower huddled with nixon . the young senator represented the growing power of the west coast and he was a rough - and - tumble campaigner . the general offered him the vice presidency .\nnovember 13 , 1968 : a mystery witness told a brooklyn grand jury tuesday that a yemeni immigrant and his two sons tried to get him to join in a plot to kill president elect richard m . nixon and offered him money to participate . he testified an hour and 20 minutes .\nnarrator : nixon left washington and for the next two months remained in virtual isolation .\none of pearson ' s foes was richard nixon , who had been elected to congress in 1946 and became a senator in 1950 . in 1952 , after nixon was tapped to become dwight eisenhower ' s running mate , anderson and pearson wrote a column about the money nixon may have taken from corporate interests . that led to nixon delivering his famous\ncheckers speech ,\nin which he decried his opponents and stated that no matter what anyone said , he would not return his daughters ' dog , checkers , which had been given to them as a gift ."]}

- which we know - - but he acts so nasty to everyone ( instead of being a nice guy ) that it sort of undermines the surprise of who he is . the acting across the board is fine , but i sense there was a lot of padding . at the 30 min mark , when we should be deep into the plot , it ' s still sort of aimless . and since not much of interest is going on , i was sort of bored . kept watching , but even when the alien aspect was introduced , it still didn ' t goose the plot . everything just settled back into the plodding narrative . it ' s then i checked and saw i was 55 mins into it with only about 25 mins left ! so yes , it ' s a short film , but if they can ' t keep me watching an hour into it , something is missing - - my interest . so i stopped and looked for something else to watch .\nmal comes out and orders that serenity be remodeled to look like a reaver ship , which involves painting and mutilating the hull , making a dangerous modification to the engine to leak radiation , arming the weaponless cargo vessel with the settlers ' cannon , and tying the bodies of the dead settlers to the prow . everyone protests , but mal furiously informs them that they can either do what he says or leave the ship now and is ready to shoot anyone who tries to stop him , seconds before he put a bullet into a surrendering alliance soldier emerging from the wrecked ship . serenity , now painted red and looking far more menacing , leaves for miranda . sneaking through a fleet of reaver vessels , the ship finally reaches the other side without incident .\ndespite critical acclaim and internet buzz , serenity performed modestly at best at the box office . although several pundits predicted a # 1 opening , [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] the film opened at # 2 in the united states , taking in $ 10 . 1 million its first weekend , spending two weeks in the top ten , and totalling a box office gross of $ 25 . 5 million . [ 14 ] movie industry analyst brandon gray described serenity ' s box office performance as\nlike a below average genre picture\n. [ 15 ]\n\u201cyou see his eyes look at the watch . that\u2019s how he knows that he is one of the terrorists , \u201d de souza says .\nset 500 years in the future , serenity is the story of the captain and crew of a transport and cargo ship . their lives of petty crime are interrupted by a psychic passenger who carries a dangerous secret .\non arrival , the crew discovers that the outpost has been ravaged by alliance forces , its inhabitants killed . mal finds book , who has shot down the attacking ship ; mortally wounded , he dies in mal ' s arms . several other outposts that had harbored serenity in the past have also been destroyed . captain reynolds receives a message from the operative claiming responsibility , and promising more of the same until river is turned over .\nis the story of officer krauss ( will poulter ) ? we spend as much time with him , demens ( jack reynor ) , and flynn ( ben o ' toole ) as almost anyone else , sitting in the squad car with the three as they discuss their unruly wards , running with them as they shoot looters in the back , huddling with them as they try to suss out the identity of the algiers shooter , listening in as they try to plot their way out of legal trouble with detroit pd brass . poulter , as krauss , is particularly good . whereas reynor ' s cop comes off as a dullard and o ' toole ' s as a greasy - haired caricature of a racist pig , there ' s a scheming quality to poulter ' s face\u2014the arched eyebrows , the widened eyes\u2014that renders him unsympathetic yet intriguing . ( his turn as a demonic cop here is a reminder that he would ' ve been perfect as pennywise in the upcoming adaptation of it , a part for which he was long rumored . ) but krauss et al kind of fade away toward the end of the film , bystanders as the legal system bails them out for their bad behavior ."]}

and with the ratings board . it was one of the scenes that the mfaa wanted to cut out . but the movie team fought like crazy to keep it in . one of their weapons was the fact that during some early screenings , the national research group had asked people what their favorite thing in the movie was - and the answer was the melting man . at that point certain people took a stand against the mpaa , because it just seemed ridiculous to cut out the one thing that audiences liked best ! ultimately they won . actually , though , the melting man also rated highly as the least favorite thing in the movie . so it got a lot of reaction .\nbut the sad truth about the incredible melting man is this : it\u2019s a compromised glop movie . working on the cheap for american international pictures , sachs claims he intended a winking nod to science - fiction comics from the 1950s , as well as classic monster movies , but his vision was so mangled by the producers that he nearly took his name off the film . in the decades since its release , the film has tasted the sweet nectar of infamy , spending some time on the imdb\u2019s bottom 100 rankings , but it remains a guilty pleasure for some , particularly fans of baker\u2019s old -

budget energy , takes its cue from the central character : it ' s tacky and bumbling and sinks into its own morass long before its subject finally dribbles apart , slurp , glub .\nthere was also another callback that might have been missed : as the melting man is being shown on a hill with the sunset beyond him \u2013 a typical \u201970\u2019s shot \u2013 you hear m & tb softly singing the love song from \u201cthe sidehackers\u201d , \u201conly love ( pads the film ) \u201d . i love it when they go way back on a reference !\nstill , even if the incredible melting man were deliberately retro , re - creating the look and feel of a stultifying drive - in undercard isn\u2019t exactly a laudable achievement . it doesn\u2019t seem that difficult to track down a slow - moving man - beast who leaves pools of glop ( and facial features ) wherever he goes , but poor dr . ted just pokes around with his geiger counter like a retiree trolling the beach with a metal detector . the events that pass between baker\u2019s makeup effects are as arid and nondescript as the california valley on which they were shot . it helps to have mike , crow , and tom servo around as company .\nokay , now for the bad stuff : the movie is also poorly written , dimly lit , loaded with uninteresting characters , and contains an extremely bad and unsatisfying ending in which nearly everyone with a speaking part dies and the incredible melting man melts . incredibly . and is thrown away by a janitor . the director wanted to do the movie as a parody , which could have indeed worked\u0097several things left in the final film even hint at this original plan\u0097but sadly , the studio forced him to turn it into a straight horror flick , resulting in the ludicrous mess moviegoers wound up seeing .\nmovie : ( 1977 ) upon his return to earth , an astronaut develops melting skin and murderous tendencies , and the authorities try to hush it all up .\ni also never quite understood what incredible melting man hoped to achieve by killing folks every now and then . i thought there would be some sort of built in nonsense where he could consume flesh to slow / reverse the melting process , but he just gets worse throughout the film , despite racking up a decent body count ( 5 or 6 ) . i guess he just went crazy , but there ' s still a shred of his humanity in there as he saves nelson ' s life in the climax , so i dunno . all i know is , nelson ' s attempts to find / save him are limited to wandering around with a geiger counter every now and then , calling his wife to give vague status updates , and telling cops his name . and thanks to writer / director william sach ' s bizarre idea that we shouldn ' t know anything about incredible melting man until the end , there isn ' t much to his character to make him sympathetic - if sachs had his way , what little we do know would have been revealed at the end , so it would have been 80 minutes of a random melting guy killing people while a vague friend of his tries to find him when he ' s not scolding his wife for forgetting the crackers .\ndrive ( 1991 ) the driver continues :\nand robocop and die hard and die harder and batman and every other white man movie .\nrob bottin conceived , designed and fabricated the makeup , which was called\nthe melting man\nin homage to rob ' s earlier work with rick baker on a picture called\nthe incredible melting man .\nthe makeup was rob ' s conception of what someone would look like dumped into hot waste . he decided to make emil literally melt , to have his whole face start to be pulled down by gravity instead of just going through the usual blisters - and - disintegration route . the look of that makeup suggests an actual drooping of all the muscles , as if they are starting to slide off emil ' s skeleton . as the toxic waste cascades through emil ' s truck , a stuntman wearing a fairly simple makeup is washed out of the van . the next cut picks up the first stage of bottin ' s creation as actor paul mccrane staggers to his feet and realizes that he is literally failing apart .\n# 52 \u2013 \u201ccallback not listed by sampo : \u201ci don\u2019t follow you man . . no way\u201d ( san francisco international ) \u201d\nincredible melting man is a delightfully bad 1977 sci - fi horror about ill - fated astronaut steve west who returns from a space mission exploring saturn\u00e2 ( tm ) s rings with a bizarre condition where his flesh is melting . for some reason , just as mystifying as to how he got this condition ( there is a hint it was caused by viewing the sun through saturn ' s rings but , never confirmed . ) , steve must consume human flesh to slow down the degeneration . and the hunt is on as west escapes the hospital and begins to chow down on the locals . the only positive things about this production is it ' s heart is in the right place and the really cool melting / gore effects by future oscar winner / fx legend rick baker . the filmmakers are really trying hard here to deliver a new and horrifying movie monster but , the talent ( aside from baker ) is just not there behind or in front of the camera . the dialog is just as bad as the acting and the inept cast of unknowns stumbling around finding body parts both of the victims and the melting man , produce far more laughs then chills . i had fun when i saw this at the legendary oritani theater in hackensack , n . j . back in 77 and it was gleefully for all the wrong reasons . written and directed by william sachs who was responsible for the equally bad galaxina .\ndid you ever see that wonderful black - and - white movie from the 1950s ,\nthe incredible shrinking man\n? the hero , scott carey , blond and tall , is sailing his boat in the ocean beneath an infinite sky . suddenly a mist appears and covers him with a radioactive dust . slowly , he goes from 6 feet to 3 feet to 3 inches to infinitesimal .\nsteven west , astronaut from saturn , is melting . he must have human cells to survive . he is a living time bomb ! see more \u00bb\nthe incredible melting man is a decent b movie that displays some impressive special effects with a so - so storyline . this is one of those movies that should have been truly a memorable addition to the genre , but as it stands it ' s a mildly entertaining film that should have been much better than the finished product . despite the so - so ideas on - screen , this is still a worthwhile film to watch due to effective effects , which are sure to please the most diehard gore hound . the film has a decent plot , but it could have been developed a bit more to really make this one stand out . i read that this film received a lot of flack ; however i think it doesn ' t deserve all the negativity it has received . this film despite all its imperfections is a benchmark in special effects design and influenced many films years later . there are no standout performances as this is more a horror film that is designed to be a vehicle for its effects . with a decent story that is of course predictable , but is a fun film for what it is . if you enjoy low budget schlock fests , then the incredible melting man is the film to watch . rick baker ' s effects are the best aspect of the film , and really is the reason to watch the film . i enjoyed the film for what it was , and thought it was a really creative horror picture in terms of special effects , however the film could have benefitted from a rewrite in terms of storyline . adding more depth to the film ' s story would have made the incredible melting man a standout horror picture . worth checking out and it is a gooey good time from start to finish despite its shortcomings .\nwhen we choose to be here for god - - everywhere , always love , compassion and wisdom - - our ego shrinks without pain and our work becomes effortless . the more we choose to be here for ourselves , the greater our ego swells and the rest of the body , physical and mystical , suffers . either way , life says to us : you will become an incredible shrinking man .\n4 . a partially disassembled prototype of captain america ' s shield can be seen in tony stark ' s workshop in iron man .\n8th man ( 1965 ) ( tv series ) cited by director paul verhoeven , writer edward neumeier and fx artist rob bottin as influence .\nthe plot concerns an astronaut ( alex rebar ) whose biochemistry is irrevocably altered by the sun ' s rays reflected through the rings of saturn . the sole survivor of the failed space mission , he is treated on earth but soon begins to find himself with a case of very , very advanced leprosy , parts of his body dripping and falling off . the only remedy for lost cells , we ' re told , is eating those of someone else . seems logical . thus we get a wanton path of blood and destruction from the\nincredible melting man ,\nwith only dr . nelson and an ineffectual assortment of military and police to try to stop the thing .\nfirst off , the film has all the production values of a mid - season episode of the six million dollar man . all the money went on hiring rick baker to create the melting man , although legend has it that that rebar refused to wear half the prosthetics , so that was cash well misspent . the money shot , when west collapses like a rotting gourd , is pretty spectacular . although , as baker says , considering that his assistants on this went to be a who ' s who of 80s practical effects gurus , it ' s a damn shame the rest of it doesn ' t look that good .\n\u2020 the new dvd gives us the choice of watching either the english - language version of the h - man or the japanese original . with a strange contempt , though , sony has retained the export title for the dvd menu of both versions , and has not even subtitled the japanese title when it appears on screen in the original version . here i\u2019ve chosen to use its literal translation , in the shortened form of liquid human . to anglophone viewers , the \u201ch\u201d in the h - man is no doubt quite expressive ( of the homo , the he - man , the human , and the h - bomb , not to mention horror and hell ) ; but liquid human , in suspending the antitheses between definite / indefinite , singular / plural , and male / female , names something more fundamental to the film .\nthe first new horror creature before he turned his hand to lycanthropes in an american werewolf in london , shuffling zombies in the thriller music video and hostile extra - terrestrials in men in black , special effects legend rick baker lent his talents to the creation of another memorable horror creature . step forward , the incredible melting man ! when spacecraft scorpio v returns to earth following a mission to saturn , two of the crew are dead and the third , astronaut steve west , is in a critical condition . critical , that is , until he rises from his hospital bed to bite chunks out of a nurse before escaping into the surrounding countryside . the authorities set about trying to track steve down before he claims any other victims , but they don\u2019t know the really bad news yet - steve is also highly radioactive ! the incredible melting man offers up a wealth of show - stopping b - movie moments in its relatively modest running time \u2013 chief among them , the scene in which a disembodied head floats down a river only to smash messily on the rocks further downstream \u2013 but the real star of the show here is baker\u2019s ultra -

baker ' s talents are evident even in this early movie with it ' s bloody good makeup work . the oozing melting man effects are impressive for a low - budget production . there ' s also a great death - by - power line scene . still , this movie isn ' t flawless now . the performances of the cast are pretty weak and the movie has its share of silly scenes - like an overacting nurse running through a window to escape the title character or a scene where an elderly couple decide to steal some lemons and end - up paying big time ! the incredible melting man is a mixed - bag of b horror fun . nothing to be taken seriously , for sure , but b horror fans may just dig it . * * 1 / 2 out of * * * *\n26 . in one scene in the avengers , tony stark can be seen wearing a black sabbath t - shirt . this is likely a reference to the song\niron man ,\nwhich isn ' t actually related to the marvel character of the same name .\nted nelson might have been able to save his friend if he could have studied him , but then he randomly gets shot by a security guard . steve kills the guards in retaliation and ends up melting to death .\n47 . in the avengers , mark ruffalo , as dr . bruce banner , mentions a botched suicide attempt :\ni put a bullet in my mouth\u2026 and the other guy spit it out .\nthis suicide attempt is a deleted scene from 2008 ' s the incredible hulk with edward norton as bruce banner .\nthere ' s nothing in\nmelting man\nyou can ' t get from\nthe toxic avenger ,\na movie that functions as a better straight monster movie and satire of the same . when a troma film - - even one as magnificent as\ntoxic avenger\n- - makes your movie look cheap , cut - rate , and insipid by comparison , you ' ve lost your right to work in the medium of film .\n38 . nick fury ' s grave has the quote\nthe path of the righteous man\u2026\non it from ezekiel 25 : 17 . this is a reference to the film pulp fiction . the character played by samuel l . jackson in that film has that same passage memorized , and recites it several times throughout the film .\nto celebrate halloween and october , the we live film family will be reviewing various types of horror films throughout the month of october . these will range from classic horror films to lesser known films and even some b movies to add some range to the type of films being reviewed . day 13 : the incredible melting man critic : joe cauwel ( cauwel3 ) plot : an astronaut is transformed into a murderous gelatinous mass after returning from an ill - fated space voyage . cast : alex rebar , burr debenning , myron healey , ann sweeny , and janus blythe director : william sachs subscribe to joe at urltoken subscribe to we live film : urltoken join us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken"]}

- because truly , only a certain type of movie goer comes to this place . the theater has mostly the same things as a normal theater as far as concessions . they even have a side restaurant to get small plates from before or after the movie . there are plenty of restaurants up and down charles to eat at before or after your movie too . my only criticism is that the theater is pretty classic . this is awesome in a sense , but the seating is not quite stadium style in all the theater rooms , the screens are not huge and the surround sound is just basic . but i already decided that when i come here its more about the movie and less about the theater experience .\nnpgallery allows you to search the national register information system a database of over 90 , 000 historic buildings , districts , sites , structures and objects listed on the national register of historic places . the finding aids below have information to assist in your search of the nrhp data in npgallery .\nmultiple property covers : by name : use our npgallery database and select national register multiples ( covers ) as the\nrecord category\nor use the multiple property covers 2017 spreadsheet to look up the reference number , then use the reference number to search in our npgallery database .\nspreadsheet of multiple property covers 2015 ( up to 2015 , includes links to pdfs and breakdown by states ) spreadsheet of multiple property covers 2017 ( up to 2018 , does not include links to pdfs or breakdown by states ) the sort order is by state , county and resource name or , in the case of multiples , by state and resource name . standard spreadsheet navigation tools allow you to go to \u201cfind and select\u201d in the upper right hand corner of the spreadsheet and using the find utility you can search for keywords such as \u201cfort\u201d . the default search searches all columns but you can restrict a search to a given column by highlighting the column . for example you can search for properties in fairfax county , virginia by highlighting the county column and searching for fairfax .\nnational historic landmark files : by name : use our npgallery database and select national historic landmark system as the\nrecord category\nor use the national historic landmarks spreadsheet to look up the reference number , then use the reference number to search in our npgallery database .\nnational park service properties : most nps properties have been scanned and are in npgallery . you can search by park name .\naddress search for national register listed properties : you can do an address search in the national register listed properties spreadsheet and in the weekly list search engine ( for new properties ) . many properties are within historic districts . you can look for likely districts based on the address field in the spreadsheet . federal listings can be found in these spreadsheets : federal listings : national register of historic places listed properties from federal agencies ( listings up to july , 2015 ) everything : national register of historic places properties : listed / returned / removed / eligible / ineligible ( up to december , 2017 )\ndeterminations of eligibility : does have not been scanned . you can download a federal determinations of eligibility spreadsheet for determinations up to july , 2015 .\nfor those of you who are interested in working with data in a gis environment , there is more information at national register of historic places program research page .\n\u201cmade right after the dissolution of bergman\u2019s own second marriage , thirst is an often dazzling tirade against the institution of matrimony . the principal couple , bertil and ruth , travel home by train to sweden from switzerland , at each other\u2019s throats the whole way . meanwhile , in stockholm , bertil\u2019s former lover , viola ( birgit more \u00bb\nan exploration of the life , lessons , and legacy of iconic children ' s television host , fred rogers . more \u00bb\nthe unbelievable but true story of four young men who brazenly attempt to execute one of the most audacious art heists in us history . determined to live lives that are out of the ordinary , they formulate a daring plan for the perfect robbery , only to discover that the plan has taken on a life of its own . more \u00bb\nlaura and her son henry are forced to drive her estranged , pot -

suresh krishna , tini tom , aditya , mohan are good in their parts . if it is clearly said that ' shikari ' is a mammootty - poonam bajwa movie because story and all sequences are revolve around these characters .\n' shikari ' is a good venture from the director abhaya simha and also he inscribed the story and screenplay .\nas aforementioned , story is superb but reversely the screenplay is not much better . mainly ' shikari ' is a pre - independence era film but it is directed in a silly way eg . : ' karunan is a freedom fighter whose rivals against the british army ' scenes are abortive

! ! !\ni grew up in carmichaels , pa and we looked forward to the last week in august all our lives . . . . . . . . . . . . waiting for the king coal parade and the culmination being the float carrying the bituminus coal queen and her court . you will never know what that was like unless you grew up in a small , industrial town that celebrated it ' s heritage and traditions every year with a festival ( with a carnival to follow ! ) . the movie was dead on !\nbeing married is challenging enough , so working together must be brutal . there\u2019s been some talk about your going to couples therapy and the throwing of pots . what\u2019s that all about ? heaton we\u2019ve progressed in our relationship from me throwing a pot off the stove at dave to having a discussion about it beforehand\u2026 hunt oh , those pot - throwing halcyon days ? . this project wasn\u2019t really hard on us , because patti was in l . a . when i was shooting in pennsylvania . we had a harder time as actors / producers while we were filming [ the 2005 tv movie ] the engagement ring , because when you\u2019re giving the other person notes and comments you don\u2019t know if it\u2019s coming from the producer\u2019s mouth or as a husband or wife . heaton mostly dave would tell me about issues he was having on coal queens , and i would be at home on ebay nodding and listening to him while bidding on pottery . that\u2019s what keeps the marriage together .\nthe film then goes down two separate paths . in the first , rush and several other former winners revisit the town , even going down into a coal mine to see firsthand what it\u00eds like . ( this is fascinating stuff , especially if you\u00edve never actually been in one . ) the other path involves showing how the anniversary pageant ( held in 2003 ) is put together . we get to meet the young women who are competing and hear their stories about why they want to win . what shines through in most of them is not the snobbery or vapidity that is stereotypically associated with beauty pageant contestants . instead , these girls exude a strong sense of community pride . the coal queen pageant is a long - time piece of local history . taking part in it is a way of honoring town citizens past and present . some of these young women had mothers or grandmothers who took part . others are grateful for having a forum in which to showcase their talents in a small town .\nplans for the future ? heaton in an ideal world , dave would be directing and acting , and i\u2019d be doing theater . the reality ? we\u2019ve got four boys , so the next thing we\u2019ll be directing and producing is the school fundraiser\u2026 hunt i think this year we\u2019ll do a pirates of the caribbean theme .\nall products featured were editorially selected . urltoken may receive a percentage of sales for items purchased from these links . \u00a9 2018 meredith corporation all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . | eu data subject requests\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\ni enjoyed every minute of this genuine and lovely documentary . it is so clear to me that the narrator remains connected to her hometown and loves and honors the people who live . . .\nnote : citations are based on reference standards . however , formatting rules can vary widely between applications and fields of interest or study . the specific requirements or preferences of your reviewing publisher , classroom teacher , institution or organization should be applied .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nyour web browser is not enabled for javascript . some features of worldcat will not be available .\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\ndavid , what made you decide to write and direct the documentary rather than just produce it ? hunt i started out as a director in college before i was acting . and honestly it didn\u2019t occur to me to direct this , because we offered the opportunity to two friends who [ ultimately ] weren\u2019t available . we were getting very close to filming and only had three weeks of prep time , and only 10 days to shoot in pennsylvania , so patti said , \u201ddave , you\u2019ve got to do it . \u201d\nyour list has reached the maximum number of items . please create a new list with a new name ; move some items to a new or existing list ; or delete some items .\ni love this film . okay , i helped make it , so maybe i ' m biased . but it ' s a very sweet and funny film about small town america , and it ' s truly special . we won a heartland film festival award , as well as a best documentary award from the renaissance film festival . as we traveled to film festivals all over the country , it was so rewarding to meet people who really loved the film , and who related to it so deeply . you don ' t have to be from a small town or even pennsylvania to connect with it . it ' s about\ngoing home ,\nand how most of us have a special connection to where we grew up and the folks there . it just so happens that the folks in this film are so authentic and loveable , and as a filmmaker from australia remarked ,\ni ' ve never met people like this , and i just love them .\nit ' s a movie for everyone . men find it interesting as we have fantastic coal mining shots , and everyone enjoys the pageant aspect , which is great fun . at one of the first screenings there were several young girls in the audience . i realized that we had made a film that has no bad language and is truly inspiring to young people . it ' s wonderfully directed by david hunt , and edited beautifully by edgar burcksen , and it was produced by the emmy award winning actress , patricia heaton . i ' m really proud of it . if you want to see a really sweet , funny , and touching film with your family , that reminds you of how great and wonderful the folks in america are , then pick this one . thanks .\n10 of 11 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ?

explain . there is nothing to be confused by here for younger audiences and they will have no problem keeping up , so the over - explaining really wasn ' t necessary . while the protagonists and side characters fare decently , the villains are too much like stock caricatures and could have been more threatening . a lot of the voice acting is wooden and some of it is also mismatched . in summary , ' the missing lynx ' is alright but nothing special . 5 / 10 bethany cox\nthe final version of the flattened style turret is the 1945 version . the main difference between this one and the summer ' 44 version is the larger , one leaf commander ' s cupola . this is the turret version seen in the dml kit .\n8 . 1 . 2 the loader ' s hatch this will require some work , both to the turret roof and the hatch itself . start on the turret roof by removing the armored guard around the hatch , but not the two slots that the hatch goes into . then on the hatch , remove the two molded strips that are on the front side of the hatch . the handle should be moved to the back port corner . s\nannouncements -

helmed by manuel sicilia and raul garcia , this cg - animated , spanish - language children ' s adventure ( translated as the missing lynx : paws on the run for its release in english - speaking countries ) originated via the production efforts of antonio banderas , though his is not one of the voices on display . the premise concerns a millionaire who becomes obsessed with the idea of constructing a new noah ' s ark - and hires a hunter to kidnap untoward numbers of animals to make this happen . the film follows the animals amid their valiant attempt to escape from the hunter ' s clutches , foil his nefarious plans , and free their captured friends .\n, who is also the sensual voice of lynxette in the original english version of the film .\n6 . 1 . 2 the external equipment the front part of the tiger is where the majority of the external equipment was stored . this equipment was moved to different locations quite often during the production history of the tiger . it would also be moved during the normal wear and tear that the crew and combat would put the tank through . because of this , i can only write about the location of the items when the tank left the factory .\nis your saturday night diary page still empty ? if so , hotfoot it to the cavalier offmore and join us lynx for more musical mayhem . kick off scheduled for 9pm . and we ' re indoors !\n3 . 6 batteries now we should do the batteries . the kit has the batteries mounted at the same position . they were in reality tapered . both should be placed close to the ammo bins , the starboard battery 3mm away from the back of the bin , and the port one 1mm away . for further help see the pictures further on in the text .\n7 . 5 the counterbalance cylinder next to the commander ' s seat is the counterbalance cylinder for the gun . in the early tiger this was mounted laterally on the starboard side of the turret . in the late turret is was redesigned and placed vertically in a housing .\n7 . 6 . 3 the br\u00fccke the main part of the br\u00fccke runs from the bottom of the bock to the turret ring on the opposite side . the last diagram shows the br\u00fccke decently . start with a 2mm thick plastic rod 55mm long . at 42mm from one end bend the rod upwards . then 10mm from that , bend the rod back straight . it should look like a large starter crank on an old car , or tiger tank . glue the straight end onto the bottom of the bock . glue the other end into the gap between the main gearbox and the first storage bin . the whole thing should be painted red primer , except for the portion on the port side where it comes up above the level of the turret bottom . this should be painted ivory\ni very recently read the first book in fiona quinn\u2019s lynx series , \u2018weakest lynx\u2019 , and was gobsmacked . it was such a tight , action thriller with touches of the paranormal and populated by some amazing characters , i thought it would be a difficult act to follow . i was wrong , or at least that\u2019s how the author\u2019s superb writing in the sequel , \u2018missing lynx\u2019 , makes it appear . all the stuff that made the first book such an outstanding novel is there\u2026 and then some ! it just sizzles off the page ! the tale opens with the long - awaited reunion with lexi\u2019s surrogate parent , the mysterious spyder , but if readers are expecting a joyful get - together , and a lot of answers to lexi\u2019s questions , they are in for a shock . almost immediately the novel takes an unexpected twist and we are taken on a fast - paced rollercoaster ride through the protagonist\u2019s new life . things go from complicated to worse - case scenario and soon the protagonist faces deadly threats that easily top what she encountered in the first book . be prepared for a top notch read that will grab you from the first paragraph and have you turning pages like someone possessed as the tale races to its cliff - hanger conclusion . can\u2019t wait to read book 3 ! highly recommended ! an exceptional , addictive , hardnosed thriller that shakes up the genre !\nwell , in this case , plenty ! what a fab night - a one - set missing lynx special , with one top notch audience and one hot & sweaty band . a couple of great old lynx numbers made it back into the set - well , it was a nice day for a white wedding after all - and what was this ? old father garth rolls up on stage , all tux and trousers , and launches into a fabulous rendition of wonderwall for the entertainment of the massed and suprisingly rather tuneful crowd . after that , it was heads down no nonsense boogie as we once again ripped into some mighty tunes whilst the dancefloor shook uncontrollably , all finished off with a frantic bout of rock n roll over beethoven .\n5 . 7 roof brace now we move back to the roof brace . this was already put in at step 5 , but a few things are missing . on the starboard side , the large opening should be filled with plastic card . then get some of the kit\u0092s ammo bags , parts e4 , and put them around the front side of the roof brace and the adjacent wall . next are three small boxes mounted on the bow side of the starboard half and the bow and aft sides of the port half . the boxes were all the same size , 1mm thick , 3mm wide , and 5mm tall . these boxes should be mounted 2mm from the top of the roof brace and 15mm from the wall . on the aft side of the starboard half there was a small gearbox instead of a storage box . the gearbox is the same size as the other boxes , exept it is tilted at the same angle as the edge of the roof brace . this box had five wires coming out of it . two of the wires came out the bottom . the other three came out the top of the gearbox and went though the most starboard of the small holes in the roof brace . all of the wires ran down the edge of the roof brace in a hollow conduit . lastly two atemschlauch breathing tubes need to be put on the roof brace . these should be made from 1 . 5mm thick plastic tube cut to 15mm long . there are ten small holes in the roof brace . the tubes should cover three of these each , leaving the end one exposed .\nwell , what a great night we lynx had rocking with the fine people of bewdley at the mug house beer festival last night . thanks to drew and the team , and to one and all for coming along -

without warning it ' s the next day in the next sentence and i was left wondering how we ' d gotten there and would have to double back to make sure i didn ' t miss anything . all in all i did however enjoy the puzzles and intrigue that are throughout the book . it seems lynx just can ' t catch a break . we get a bit of spyder in this one but not as much as i ' d hoped . i still have lingering questions .\n7 . 8 . 1 . 1 attachment for cam to gun next we should build the attachment for the counterbalance cam to the gun . take a 15mm long 2mm wide strip of thin plastic card . round off what is to be the aft end of the part . also , cut the strip at an angle from the lower front corner to the topside 8mm from where the piece ends . then glue it along the outside of part j8 . the aft side should end up over the back part cam . lastly , attach a chain from the cam to the rear side of the previous part .\nthe artists built a library of 3d elements that was used to quickly give form to landscapes and then concentrate on polishing and giving final shape . when water was required , animated maps were used to emulate it , and for close up shots of liquids the team resorted to particles . lighting was considered an essential aspect of the film by the directors . manuel thinks that using global illumination or ambient occlusion poses the risk of making cg animated films look too much alike , and that it ' s important to have a clear intention behind the lighting design of a scene . the missing lynx team used ambient occlusion to speed up rendering , but they put special care in the lighting process , with the aim of conveying emotions , providing special moods for certain scenes ( such as the jungle - like green light in the final fight between felix and newman ) , and capturing the colors and light characteristic of southern spain . part of the team from kandor actually traveled to places such as the desert of almer\u00eda , to observe the vegetation , animals , colors and effects of light from up close . the result of all this hard work can be readily appreciated in the film , as well as the attention dedicated to texturing .\na group of animals led by felix , the lynx , tries to escape from the clutches of an unscrupulous hunter and an eccentric millionaire with a secret plan . after traipsing through several different areas of the andalusian countryside , they arrive at the acebuche ( do\u00f1ana natural park ) , where several puzzling disappearances of animals have taken place . felix and his companions will have to join forces to survive and solve the mystery .\n7 . 8 . 1 the breach in the late version turret , the breach was angular in shape . to portray this in our model , sand the breach at a 45 - degree angle where the kit part curves . all traces of the curve should be gone . the length of the new section should be 4mm .\n3 . 1 . 1 longitudinal struts the longitudinal struts , the two largest struts run from the rear to the front of the tank . we will need to make these from the smallest width plastic strip we can find , as the real struts were only 10mm thick . the strip i am using for all of these small things is 0 . 5mm . the real struts were 200mm tall . in 1 / 35 this is about 6mm . because the kit has the torsion bars mounted on the floor , they were in reality not touching the floor , of course , the struts need to be shorter . i found that plastic strip 4mm tall was the best . any taller and the struts appeared to be too tall . the starboard side strut must be at least 100mm long , the port 110mm . you might want to go a bit longer just in case . the strut on the starboard side stops just short of the front torsion bar . the port strut goes all the way to the front of the hull . this brings them up to the firewall . anything on the floor past the firewall can ' t be seen because of the large engine . now we should place the struts in the lower hull . the lower hull comes with the beginnings of the torsion bars already molded . this works out well for us , because where the molded part ends is exactly where the torsion bars went through the struts . the molded torsion bar parts have locating pins that need removal for the struts to fit snugly . there are two more longitudinal struts over the first five torsion bars that need to be modeled . these struts should be made from the same 4mm plastic strip cut to 47mm long . they should be placed 4mm to the center of the tank from the other longitudinal struts ."]}

( red rose claims , somewhat improbably , that\ntempo\nactually came first . )\nthis film was quite disturbing to watch . you can ' t quite work out what rajesh khanna ' s character is in the film however he seems eerie no doubt . this film had heavy sexual undertones throughout . it ' s not until the end of the film we find out why khanna has such a hatred for women in the film . this film is an early 1980s suspense thriller and it ' s quite successful as the theme and style of film is very original and different to other hindi films of the time . although in some parts illogical and irrelevant the film shows flashbacks of sexual imagery to portray rajesh khannas psychotic intentions . i was surprised to see an artist like khanna ( once the romantic superstar of the late 60 ' s ) take this role on . i wouldn ' t recommend this film for watching with your parents ! nor will i be watching this film again . i found the concept and certain imagery used quite disturbing and perverse at times .\nhot shot records is a brand new imprint from the bbr team that is set to breathe life back into a variety of smart pop , dance gems and hidden treasures from the 1980\u2019s . the label kicks off with expanded edition reissue of joboxers\u2019 debut album .\ncannibal holocaust , the film that helped create the ' found footage ' genre . photograph : ronald grant archive\nnancy . it was described by the los angeles times in 1991 as \u2018cox\u2019s finest film to date . \u2019\u201d\nrajesh khanna played a psychopath in this murder mystery and thriller classic film . due to its unorthodox story - line and since it was made in 1980 , it was very ahead of its time for hindi film audiences . the film bombed at the box office but got critical acclaims for the story - line and khanna ' s strong attention holding performance . lot of political parties back in 1980 protested that the film be banned but amid protests the film was released but audience did not flock to theatres . rajesh khanna has done films of all genres and people used to go with their families to go to theater to watch his films . but for this film people feared to go out with family and this affected its box office collections . people did not want to see their hero doing wrong things . its a must match for people who are fan of films from thriller or adventure or mystery genre . a must watch for both rajesh khanna fans and his detractors . kamal hassan won many awards for the same role in tamil , but khanna was not even nominated in any award function for best actor , in - spite of khanna having given splendid performance .\none of the main theses of red rose is that women today desire too much independence and bad things will happen to them as a result . as a matter of fact , a character says exactly that , namely that women have too much independence and the rajesh khanna character says that the fault is not theirs but society\u2019s .\ngenocide , castration , animal slaughter . . . and that ' s before the events of the title . steve rose on the rerelease of the most controversial movie ever made\nmark kermode says : \u201ctoday , the film may seem almost quaint , but it\u2019s as captivating as ever . \u201d\nwhile the smell which permeates her apartment is enough to convince rose that her building houses mater tenebrarum , the mother of darkness , rose questions the antique dealer , mr kazanian ( sacha piteoff ) , who sold her the book . like any enigmatic dream -

rock arena that first inspired him . gregg allman and dickey betts were among the musicians and , with chips moman as producer , these ten tracks added up to a programme unique to stewart . it also provided another two chart singles \u2013 the title track and the double -

logic of dario argento ' s inferno ( 1980 ) , a film which appears to be self - consciously masquerading as a giallo - style , gothic opera\u2014albeit without singers .\ndescribed by martin scorsese as \u201cthe movie that plays in my heart\u201d , and a direct influence on kate bush , who was attracted by its portrayal of crazed passion , michael powell and emeric pressburger\u2019s film is a moving masterpiece . moira shearer stars as a ballerina torn between her love for her husband and the strenuous demands of her art . the extraordinary 15 - minute performance of the red shoes ballet at the film\u2019s climax is one of the most famous sequences in british cinema .\nthen there are films such as ittefaq ( 1969 ) , khilona ( 1970 ) , anhonee ( 1973 ) , red rose ( 1980 ) , dilwale ( 1994 ) and tere naam ( 2003 ) , in which the mentally ill protagonists are anti - heroes . in ittefaq , the main character is declared insane by a court after he violently assaults his wife . in khilona , the lead character molests his caregiver in a manic fit . in both dilwale and tere naam , the protagonists physically threaten and intimidate the objects of their desire . even when there are cack -

making and the acting ( esp rk ) .\nbefore her death , sara phones mark asking him to come to her apartment . however , he arrives at the scene of a double murder where he finds torn fragments of rose ' s letter on the floor . in pursuit of the mystery , mark is soon on his way to new york and arrives at the apartment building where rose lives , only to find that she has disappeared . here inferno slips still further into dream - logic , never to return . rose ' s building is labyrinthine\u2014the epitome of the oneiric house : multiple stairways , baroque rooms , cluttered passages , heavy , theatrical curtains , false floors and vents which serve as listening conduits running throughout the structure .\nin this most dream - like of all scenes , rose swims unhurriedly downwards towards the floor where her keys lie on the carpet . by the time rose ' s hands slowly reach out for her keys , the viewer is as deeply submerged in inferno ' s dream - logic as is rose elliot in the flooded ballroom . in inferno , argento seems to be saying that the filmic state , like a rebus , is oneirically complex . to search for the key in argento ' s films is to do dreamwork . this realisation comes upon us with a vengeance when , suddenly , a door in the flooded room bursts open in a current that sends out a badly decomposed corpse which , in floating upwards , seems to pursue rose in her desperate attempt to find the hole through which she entered the room . as rose swims frantically in search of the opening , her feet kick in revulsion at the head of the rising corpse . in his study , the philosophy of horror , no\u00ebl carroll points out that in the aesthetics of gothic horror the key element is disgust , and this sequence is classic abjection material . [ 6 ]\nkashyap ' s upcoming film won ' t be the first on this subject . tamil director bharathiraja ' s film sigappu rojakkal ( 1978 ) , starring kamal haasan and sridevi , was loosely inspired by raman ' s grisly crimes . meanwhile , director sriram raghavan ( ek hasina thi , johnny gaddar , badlapur ) had also made a 45 - minute docu - drama on raghav shortly after graduating from his alma mater , film and television institute of india , pune .\nwelcome to west midlands records . this is the branch of cherry red dedicated to the releases of lawrence after his departure from felt . here you will find albums by the great man performing as denim & go - kart mozart .\nand , far be it from me that i should burst your bubble of righteousness that has to lecture the indian male at large about gender issues , but sorry i am not male . in fact , when i read your above , i thought i\u2019d clean drifted into an alternate universe !

( i am guessing this is the kamal hassan influence ) . the profusion of apples in different sequences , for example rajesh khanna gives prisoners apples as gifts and apples lie next to his bed , hint at original sin , and the skeleton that is found in his room of horrors , might ( and i didn\u2019t look that quickly ) be missing a rib , further strengthening the metaphor of adam and eve ( eve being produced from a rib of adam ) .\nthe plot follows a dutch horticulturist from the day he leaves his farm to be admitted to hospital for a cancer treatment to the inevitable sad ending . the film displays intensely how the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nmark kermode says : \u201cwhen the film first came before the bbfc in 1976 it was banned outright , with one examiner noting that , \u2018this sort of depiction of sexual pathology goes way beyond what we can certificate for showing in a public cinema\u2026\u2019 yet that same examining conceded that \u2018the film is very well made , with good acting performances from two of france\u2019s leading stars\u2026\u2019 but concluded \u2018\u2026opulent excrescence , for all its glitter , remains excrescence . \u2019\u201d\ngary 1 . mazelle 2 . shady streets 3 . the next thing you know 4 . everything a good little girl needs 5 . the same thing 6 . the blues don\u2019t care who\u2019s got \u2018em 7 . i\u2019ve just seen the rock of ages 8 . walkaway 9 . lost highway 10 . one more cactus and a rose 11 . okeechobee purple 12 . cactus and a rose 13 . staring each other down 14 . lover\u2019s knot 15 . ghost train 16 . roarin\u2019 17 . harlan county highway 18 . are we dreamin\u2019 the same dream 19 . how could we come to this after that 20 .

this is civilization , or can ' t you tell the difference ?\nwhile the narrative arc of this spectacularly exotic film , replete with visions of grass skirts , penis sheaths and a spitting volcano , is based on a true story from the tanna community in the 1980s , it will also be familiar to other viewers . there are hints of romeo and juliet or , closer to home , the 1955 australian film jedda , in its tale of star - crossed forbidden lovers .\ntraxx has battled his way through el salvador , the middle east and nicaragua , spitting lead with two - handed good grace . he decides to retire to a life of baking designer cookies . running . . . see full summary \u00bb\ntraxx has battled his way through el salvador , the middle east and nicaragua , spitting lead with two - handed good grace . he decides to retire to a life of baking designer cookies . running out . . . see more \u00bb\na great film about the emptiness of youth , fun and the fast life . re - watched it on the night of hoffman ' s passing and it ' s no less remarkable than the times i saw it before .\nthe cast generally play this all dead straight , and it is the star shadoe stevens who really nails the mood of this film . he plays the titular traxx as a bizarre cross between a game show host and action star , stopping mid - battle to check out his hair and spewing incongruous one liners with smarmy commitment . he kills absolutely everyone who crosses his path , whether they deserve it or not , an unlikely killing machine engaging in slaughter with a wink and a smile .\nthe production is low . the acting is bad . the cookies are horrible . but that is what makes traxx such a great film ! the plot is not overwrought and deep , but it holds its own . what you are left with is over - the - top action and campy fun . each of the characters is unique and quotable . this film remains probably the most oft - quoted movies of all time between me and my family and friends . there was no attempt to make this movie low budget , naturally . that is what makes the entire package worth multiple views . unlike the trendy , big budget\nunder the radar\nreleases today that try to fit the low - budget profile ( and all the while most remain overrated and under deserving ) , traxx succeeds because it is the real deal . it is underrated and most deserving . watching the main character ( traxx ) almost break character and begin to laugh as the one - shot - only pyrotechnics go off around him ( you cannot script that ) . the guzik brothers hit squad is so brutal and self centered , yet they do not have to demand more screen time from the viewer : you will demand it of them . this movie is the only reason i still have my vcr hooked up .\nthis is cool because it ' s just about a crank with a lot of guns who likes to bake cookies . it ' s actually pretty ahead of its time as a parody of 80 ' s action movies despite being an authentic 80 ' s action movie itself . the main character never gets angry or upset , or even really emotes despite the near - continuous mayhem and destruction - - there ' s a scene that sums everything up wherein traxx is riding on the hood of a car firing a machine gun at random street people while calmly admonishing them for not getting out of town like he said . bonus : the movie includes a fun theme song with the lines\nif you ' ve fallen through the cracks , then send for traxx\nand\nif you ' re dealin ' with some maniacs , then you need traxx .\nbutler and dean return to the volcano as if it were something or someone to consult , a sort of all - knowing force that forms the mysterious spiritual core of the film . dean was also cinematographer ( duties which saw him awarded at this year\u2019s venice film festival ) and while even a teenager filming on a busted iphone could capture a sense of this region\u2019s beauty , tanna is a consummate visual achievement . the natural environments are enriched with a wonderful score by antony partos , who also composed for animal kingdom and sherpa .\nthis is a film where the utter ineptitude and lack of care of those involved makes it far greater than the sum of it\u2019s parts . it seems that everyone involved just shrugged their shoulders and said \u201cwhy not\u201d every step of the way . \u201cwhy not kill the main bad guy with a fart ? \u201d . \u201cwhy not have a creche in a brothel ? \u201d . that attitude makes this film unique , an over - the top treasure unafraid of throwing literally any idea , no matter how bad or stupid , at the screen .\ntraxx : [ refering to criminal who is holding up a pet store ] he shot an old lady and a puppy ! cop : the old lady was sport , but the puppy . . . whew ! that was pure genius . he can plead insanity on that one . see more \u00bb\ni truly believe that anyone who ' s a fan of clever writing , plot twists , suspense , great action sequences and drama . . . . . . . . . . . . . should never watch this film looking for those things ! they should watch it , however , to have a good laugh at how bad a movie can truly be . every second of this movie is entertaining for the sheer fact that it is one of the worst movies ever made . shadoe stevens performance is horrible . i love it ! ! ! someone who can be so unashamedly cheesy and yet so suave at the same time has my respect for all time . if you love laughing at bad movies , traxx is for you . i ' ll end with a quote from the theme song . . . . .\nhaving trouble with some maniacs ? send for traxx\nhangouts all over town . traxx also starts a romance with mayor alexandria cray ( priscilla barnes ) . then the dreaded guzik brothers are called in to get rid of stevens , and they ride into town shooting uzis out of the roof of their limo and take the town ' s little league team hostage . despite its\nindeed , the 40 - year - old stevens may soon add greatly to his commercial value . he stars in\ntraxx ,\na comedy directed by gerome gary , about a former mercenary who single - handedly cleans up a corrupt town . it is scheduled for release in early august . stevens said that in july he will begin a 60 - city promotional campaign for the film . that tour includes a number of talk show appearances .\nnaturally everyone will ask me about federated ,\nhe said ,\nand i ' d like to be able to say that i still work for them .\nwith their documentary backgrounds , co - directors bentley dean and martin butler continue in the rich vein of dramas made by australian film - makers who\u2019ve returned from remote communities with striking \u201cnot - in - the - brochure\u201d work , made consultatively and with an ear for local voices ( including paul cox \u2019s molokai : the story of father damien and rolf de heer\u2019s charlie\u2019s country ) .\nanother vhs cover from my youth . ( not the letterboxd image , but the one that emphasized the film ' s heavy emphasis on traxx ' s desire to become a cookie baker . ) even at 9 , i knew something didn ' t compute about the center - bottom guy from hollywood squares as an action star . it still really doesn ' t and now i have the image of shadoe stevens dancing to a montage forever seared onto my brain . it ' s my understanding stevens had a movie deal tied to some past character he created for some advertisements . i ' m guessing this is the mere contractual fulfillment of that . at least stevens is having the sort of time emblematic of a man who can ' t really believe he ' s in a movie , either . but jesus , \u2026\nthe tone of the film is absolutely all over the place and you frequently feel as though every new scene is from a completely different movie to the previous one . the first 5 minutes alone feel like 3 completely different films ; we flip gun fights to cheesy over the top comedy , from horrific imagery to pop video style dance montages , with absolutely no care for how they all fit together .\nin \u201cthe undershepherd , \u201d isaiah washington of \u201cgrey\u2019s anatomy\u201d fame plays a lawrence \u201clc\u201d case , a pastor looking to advance in the church who comes into conflict with his best friend , his lead pastor and ultimately , himself . lanman rucker plays roland , a young pastor who realizes his friend has gone too far astray to help , and malinda williams is lc\u2019s long - suffering wife who has problems of her own . while the film is weakened by too many implausible dramatic scenarios near the end , washington is scarily charismatic as lc , who fails to see how leading a church has led to his ultimate spiritual destruction . many church goers may find parallels in their own church experience and this movie and that\u2019s precisely why parr was moved to write , direct and produce the film via his uptoparr productions .\na well - done\ngoodfellas\n- esque take on the porn industry during its heyday and a naive young man ( mark wahlberg ) with a special\ntalent\nwho goes from waiter to adult film star after being plucked by a wealthy titan ( burt reynolds ) of the business . not only is this movie a serious , saddening take on those involved in the industry who wreck their lives seemingly without trying , it is also a successful satire whose dark sense of humor is much needed to a film full of such despair , loneliness , and depravity . it does suffer from over - population from a character standpoint ( especially william h . macy in a thankless , pointless role that does not utilize his talents properly ) , but its ability to possess a certain sweetness is a phenomenal feat for director paul thomas anderson to pull off . it has style , laughs , a riveting lead performance from wahlberg , some excellent supporting turns , memorable scenes ( hello alfred molina cameo ! ) , and an ending that doesn ' t leave you as depressed as many of its characters become . not a film for everyone , certainly a graphic portrayal of a seedy business , but still a fascinating take on those involved in it .\nthis is absolutely a bad movie , but it ' s so bad that i can ' t stop laughing . i hope that ' s what they intended . the acting is not bad , but the plot is sophomoric . grab a bag of popcorn and sit back and laugh . the basic premise is that traxx is a mercenary whose secret passion is baking cookies . he is a much better mercenary than baker , and his ' recipes ' are shall we say unique . when he runs out of money for his baking business , traxx finds a small town that is in desperate need of his special services , and he promises to rid the town of lawlessness in exchange for $ 10 , 000 ( i think that number is right - it ' s been a while since i ' ve seen the movie ) . it ' s a comedy of errors , with a little loving thrown in .\nthe humour itself is either so hokey and hackneyed that you can\u2019t help but groan ( \u201cdeeter lost a litre\u201d ) , or so heinously misjudged and in such bad taste as to leave you open mouthed with awe . if a million monkeys with a million typewriters given a million years would come up with the works of shakespeare , then a gibbon with a crayon and a bag of weed could probably knock out the script of \u201ctraxx\u201d in a long weekend .\nwawa ( marie wawa ) and dain ( mungau dain ) belong to the same tribe but wawa\u2019s marriage has been arranged in order to reconcile a violent ongoing tribal war . in one of the film\u2019s many beautiful sequences matching quietly drawn performances with achingly screen - swelling backgrounds , a young girl selin ( marceline rofit ) walks with her grandfather , the village shaman ( albi nangia ) through a pink - purple mist .\ntraxx , a vietnam war veteran working as a police officer , is fired from the force after an incident in a petshop , and becomes a mercenary working his way around south america . tiring of the relentless violence he returns to the united states in the hope of setting up a successful cookie making business . however , with no real skills in the area of baking , he is soon forced to return to the career he left behind and puts himself up for hire as a \u201ctown tamer\u201d .\n\u201ctraxx\u201d is never scared of stretching a joke right to it\u2019s breaking point or throwing the most outrageous imagery into a shot , ( the bad guys literally strap a whole team of little leaguers to their car as human shields and that is far from the most bizarre visual in this movie ) . director jerome gary mostly keeps things disarmingly deadpan and nothing is really played for laughs , which actually makes it funnier as it means ridiculous visual gags appear literally from nowhere , like cinematic non - sequiturs .\nperformances from the ( untrained ) cast are magnetic ; if it was a challenge for them to learn how to act in front of a camera , they certainly don\u2019t show it . and while in a narrative sense this ground has been walked many times before , the yakel people\u2019s passion to tell this story is undoubtedly at the heart of the film\u2019s success . tanna has a warm , shimmering vitality . like the trees and the birds , the frame feels alive .\nit ' s scheduled to begin at 11 pm on friday , may 23rd , and run until 7 am the following sunday\u2014that ' s 32 hours of non -

year - old son . we were all laughing hysterically all the way through the film . i was afraid it would not have held up after all these years , but my fears were completely unfounded . we add our voices to those who would dearly like to see this released in a higher quality format . such an offbeat delight ! my favorite scene is the gmc\nproduct placement moment , i think . . . . : - ) i look forward to eventually sharing it with my fourteen - year - old , but it is still a little over the top in the violence / adult theme arena , even given the highly satirical context . shadoe stevens is phenomenal as traxx - - his smile alone would redeem a bad storyline - - and since the scriptwriting hits exactly the right note with my sense of humor , the smile is just a bonus . if you can manage to find a copy , and have a well - developed sense of the absurd , see this movie ! if you have no sense of humor , avoid it like the plague !\ni worked as an atmosphere person on this film while it was shooting on the back lot in wilmington , north carolina . i was a drunken cowboy , a customer in the whorehouse parlor whose pocket was being picked by a scantily dressed employee , who was in fact a well brought up southern baptist girl who giggled nervously as i nuzzled her belly . my son josh , an adopted korean who was about eight at the time , was also an atmosphere person , playing one of the children in a kind of day care center in the whorehouse , genuinely startled when the door burst open because the move hadn ' t been announced . now , as an insider on this project , i agree with other reviewers that this is one of the rottenest filthiest and altogether most execrable movies ever committed to film , the absolute nadir . i disagree with one reviewer ' s comment , however . the funniest gag is not the credit card decals on the whorehouse door . it is the scene in which robert davi ( a competent actor , reserved guy , and stone opera fan ) releases an inhuman amount of intestinal gas inside a closed vehicle while laughing hysterically , then lights a cigar , during which feckless act the car blows up . that ' s the funniest gag .\ntraxx has battled his way through el salvador , the middle east and nicaragua , spitting lead with two -

feature . in fact , make it a triple feature and throw\nbig trouble in little china\nin the mix . if you don ' t get at least one laugh out of watching this , you take your action movies way too seriously . the scene in the limo where the villains are tossing grenades , running down bicyclists and making someone sing\nold mcdonald had a farm\nwith a gun to his head ( what sounds does a gazelle make ? ) should be required viewing for anyone making a film with bad guys in it . if your villain isn ' t at least as crazy as these guys , go back to the drawing board . pop some corn , drink some adult beverages , and park your brain - this is a great cheesy movie .\nwith regard to the purity ring thing . 1 . disney did not make the guys wear the rings , kevin and joe were wearing them way before disney even knew the jonas boys existed . they were encouraged by their upbringing to wear them , and because their father was a pastor in a small town , had to set an example , those just came in handy for their image when disney picked them up . 2 . kevin traded his in for a wedding ring , he maybe the only one of the boys that kept his promise because he believed in it . joe stopped wearing his once he entered his 20\u2019s and i\u2019m only guessing here , i dont know the facts , but probably had a conversation with his parents about not wanting to wear the ring anymore . nick wears his on a necklace , if any of you have ever tried to play guitar with a ring on you\u2019d know it fucks with the sound . also people frankie wears one ! 3 . the whole reason there was any focus on the rings was because fans kept asking them and eventually the answer got to interviewers * cough * ryan big mouth seacrest * cough * and they guys answered honestly . again though these promises that are represented by the rings dont always last , and at the end of the day its their decisions and lives . 4 . focus on the film .\nanonymous said : with regard to the purity ring thing . 1 . disney did not make the guys wear the rings , kevin and joe were wearing them way before disney even knew the jonas boys existed . they were encouraged by their upbringing to wear them , and because their father was a pastor in a small town , had to set an example , those just came in handy for their image when disney picked them up . 2 . kevin traded his in for a wedding ring , he maybe the only one of the boys that kept his promise because he believed in it . joe stopped wearing his once he entered his 20\u2019s and i\u2019m only guessing here , i dont know the facts , but probably had a conversation with his parents about not wanting to wear the ring anymore . nick wears his on a necklace , if any of you have ever tried to play guitar with a ring on you\u2019d know it fucks with the sound . also people frankie wears one ! 3 . the whole reason there was any focus on the rings was because fans kept asking them and eventually the answer got to interviewers * cough * ryan big mouth seacrest * cough * and they guys answered honestly . again though these promises that are represented by the rings dont always last , and at the end of the day its their decisions and lives . 4 . focus on the film . \u2014\u2013 nick gave his ring to delta when they were in bali when he had his first time .\npublished at : may 14 , 2013 , 7 : 55 a . m . cst by merrick\njohn ary here with another installment of the vulcan vault . our month -

on , displaying more emotion about a neighbor ' s errant dog than the seemingly supernatural events occurring around him . he also disappears for long stretches at a time into his locked basement \u2014 the one area where the teens haven ' t placed their cameras \u2014 leading them to wonder if he ' s up to no good .\nbut despite its flaws , the good neighbor sustains interest , thanks in large part to caan ' s intriguing , understated performance that particularly pays off in the film ' s surprise - laden final act . by his own admittance , the veteran actor has done a lot of crappy films in recent years \u2014 he blames it on high alimony payments \u2014 and while this b - movie effort receiving a limited theatrical isn ' t likely to significantly elevate his standing , it serves as a vivid reminder of his formidable talent .\nthe film follows ethan ( logan miller ) and sean ( keri gilchrist ) , two mischievous high schoolers hoping to create their first documentary . ethan\u2019s brilliant idea is to bug the home of his elderly neighbor , harold grainey ( legendary actor james caan ) , and film how he reacts to a series of pranks created to make him believe he is being haunted . it feels innocent enough at first , but when harold\u2019s reactions do not match the boys\u2019 expectations they begin to question what is actually happening inside the home across the street .\nthe most controversial oil is the notorious oil sands in northern canada -

breaking sputnik satellite , homer and his friends set out to learn about rocketry and achieve their scholarships though the power of their minds , not their bodies .\nmy suspicion was he recognized what david was and could extrapolate how long he had been asleep , which may have given him greater motivation to deliver his payload , fearing a galactic outbreak of this violent species . the engineer did not seem surprised to see us , likely as a diminutive and less impressive form of itself .\nwhen the engineer is awakened he is faced with his own creation , that is mankind . there is weyland demanding that david ask him what the key to life is . elizabeth is demanding that david ask why the engineers want to destroy earth . one of weyland ' s bodyguards strikes elizabeth sending her to the ground .\nnot everyone is born with all the breaks ; the good life on a silver platter . to all those that dream big and have started small october sky is the film for you . after all , what is more american than rockets , explosions and nasa ?\nwealthy , brilliant , and meticulous ted crawford , a structural engineer in los angeles , shoots his wife and entraps her lover . he signs a confession ; at the arraignment , he asserts his rights to represent himself and asks the court to move immediately to trial . the prosecutor is willy beachum , a hotshot who ' s soon to join a fancy civil - law firm , told by everyone it ' s an open and shut case . crawford sees beachum ' s weakness , the hairline fracture of his character : willy ' s a winner . the engineer sets in motion a clockwork crime with all the objects moving in ways he predicts .\nalthough a pe\u2019s job includes a great deal of communicating and organizing , the first step as a pe is making sure your director of photography makes the greatest images he can possibly make with the equipment you present to him . additionally , taking that captured information to post -

down ( off - screen ) in the street ( the same thoroughfare in the film ' s opening ) . he was murdered like mcara , in order to silence him - or were both deaths just an accident ? his manuscript papers blew down the street in the wind as the film faded to white before the credits .\nwell , according to dr . anil biltoo , the film\u2019s official translator and linguistics consultant , david did as he was asked , translating his words as follows : \u201cthis man is here because he does not want to die . he believes you can give him more life . \u201d\nan inspirational movie list for engineers would be incomplete without an entry from the star trek canon . unfortunately , many of the films focus more on action and less on the engineering and social commentary of the tv shows . first contact , however , brings us back to the invention that started the federation : the warp drive . though only peppered as a side story throughout the film , the creation of the first faster than light craft did captivate me as a child . a larger focus on the invention would have surely improved the ranking of the star trek film .\n[ a ] ccording to dr . anil biltoo , the film\u2019s official translator and linguistics consultant , david did as he was asked , translating his words as follows :\nthis man is here because he does not want to die . he believes you can give him more life .\nthe general was court -

elias . the other identical twin lukas was killed in an\naccident\n( probably one that also disfigured the face of the mother ) before the events of the film . experiencing deep denial and guilt , elias was only imagining that lukas was alive .\ni had the impression the engineer did not fear humanity , so much as their lack of individual control . he was privy to , in a matter of seconds , hierarchical dominance behavior , aggression , anger , and directed violence . from the aspect of a species that creates life , certainly an undesirable outcome . perhaps the same reaction we might have if a beloved pet suddenly attacked us . we would put it down , for its own good . the engineer maintained a surprising level of apparent emotional control during his attack on the team and his subsequent launching of his ship . he did not appear to have any issues with completing his mission , so his belief in the necessity was apparent in his actions .\ni am certainly not blaming the directors . it is just that the medium is different . compared to those who see the film , the readers are a minuscule percentage . probably my novels would have been read by 30 - 40 lakh people , but the films were seen by crores . in a medium like cinema where the stakes are high , compromises are unavoidable . they don ' t affect me . people who have read my novels are unhappy with the film versions , but those who have not read them are happy with the films . that in itself explains the differencein audience tastes .\nsujatha is the nom de plume of rangarajan , a computer engineer by profession and a writer by vocation . he is the tamil novelist with the largest number of stories converted into films . he has worked with topdirectors k balachandar in ' ninaithale inikkum , ' mani ratnam in ' roja , ' shankar in ' indian ' and bharathi raaja in ' nadodi thendral . '\ni don ' t think it was really what he said so much so as what david said was in the language of the engineers and that scared the engineer . think of it from his perspective . the engineer is in stasis and is woken up by small humanoids from earth ( i think it is fair to say the engineers would know more about us then we do about them ) . we got someone being very emotional , screaming and crying and then getting beaten and silenced , a creepy old guy , a dude with a gun and then david , talking in his language . the engineer checks him out and sees that he is different and perhaps a threat . he tries to destroy david and the others to complete his mission of cleansing earth out of fear from what has happened ; life on earth now is almost competition if not a threat to other life in the galaxy . in later films mankind is seen terra forming and colonizing the rest of the galaxy , similar to the way the engineers do it all be it not as divine or sentient . so i think what he asked was probaly what wyland asked him to ask , it was just the shock of seeing that humans had learned so much about there creators . but like prometheus , do we understand the power of that knowledge , or will it be our undoing . great film , great scene , great anticipation for any other prometheus sequels !\nlien : covenant\u2019s big reveal is that the acid - packed \u201cclassic xenomorph\u201d was bio - engineered by david in his man cave . but covenant takes place just 20 years before the original alien . so , if the facehugger design was knocked together by a deranged robot in the recent past , how did the ancient engineer ship in the first movie come to be packed with eggs ?\ni think for the first time in india , a computer has been used in screenplay writing , a method usually adopted by hollywood film makers . various software are available for this and kamal is using a particularsoftware called ' movie magic .

his pathological hatred of all of humanity is obvious to us , but not necessarily to them . would he use the opportunity to ask a different question than he was asked or would he comply out of duty ( or programming ) . my suspicion is david asked exactly what he was told by weyland . not that it mattered , the engineer answered only with his actions to kill the team .\nin the elaborate and excellent introduction was a footnote which said ,\nthis yousuf khan was originally a hindu vellala called marudha naayagam . kamal immediately jumped at it and felt that the story had all the potential of a good historical film . kamal felt that the religious conversion could be owing to some social oppression and that would form a good subject for filming .\nthe o in \u201co\u2019horten\u201d stands for odd , which is something of a translinguistic pun . it is the first name of the main character , a train engineer on the oslo - bergen line whose retirement initiates what action there is in this restrained , bittersweet comedy . and odd horten , a pipe smoker of few words and regular habits played by baard owe , is , true to the english meaning of his perfectly ordinary norwegian name , a somewhat eccentric fellow .\nin the moment , the contorted plot and and multitude of loose ends in no way detract from the fun . what a thrill to sit through an alien film that evokes some of the cold dread of old . plus , covenant is legitimately gory \u2013 a reminder that , for all his reputation as cinema\u2019s supreme visual stylist , scott can conjure b - movie ickiness with aplomb .\ndr . ryan stone is a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission . her commander is veteran astronaut matt kowalsky , helming his last flight before retirement . then , during a routine space walk by the pair , disaster strikes : the shuttle is destroyed , leaving ryan and matt stranded in deep space with no link to earth and no hope of rescue . as fear turns to panic , they realize that the only way home may be to venture further into space .\nit was both a complex serial - killer procedural and a neo - noir , with themes of generational sexual abuse , sadistic violence against women , revenge , family secrets , corporate corruption , and nazi racism . it was the first adaptation of the millennium trilogy , a series of books by stieg larsson . there were a number of questions to be answered in the film as it told its story .\nwhere do you expect prometheus 2 to take us , and should it attempt to bring the story back round to the events of the original film ( on both biological and narrative levels ) or blast off into ever more expansive , existential territory ?

if it wasn\u2019t so upsetting , we wouldn\u2019t be hiding it right now .\nthe anniversary edition of september 2015 , on the occasion of the completion of 20 years of architecture through ek magazine , includes the utopian project \u201cfloating skyscrapers\u201d of our firm . the proposal comprises three buildings of equal height , composed of individual modules that are arranged in order to slide one on the top of another . a glass surface / base connects the three volumes which give the impression that are floating in the water . a motive for this design conception was the notion of \u201csolitary waves\u201d , which are transformed constantly due to sudden changes in the bottom of the sea . these water forms come together and move as a ripple in order to divide again and return to their previous state . this process indicates the presence of a type of organic \u201cmemory\u201d . this particular approach provided the opportunity to explore new potential relationships and ratios , which can be imported in architectural design through other , more dynamic organization systems .\nit can much more than just a remote outpost : \u201c through its desalinization and power facilities , this arctic skyscraper becomes a floating metropolis equipped with noaa ( national oceanic and atmospheric administration ) research laboratories , renewable power stations , dormitory - style housing units , eco - tourist attractions , and ecological habitats for wildlife . \u201d\nwasilewski\u2019s intimate direction and interest in artifice manages to eclipse the fact that our leads seem unknowable , unreachable even . kuba and mikal grow closer and closer , but what appears to be love is only captured through lust , the duo rarely exchanging any meaningful words . it\u2019s one of those films where you\u2019re kept outside of the relationship to the point where a late scene showing them laughing at each other makes you wonder exactly what it is that these two discuss . tragedy is unavoidable in \u201cfloating skyscrapers\u201d but wasilewski at least manages to make it immensely appealing from a visual standpoint , suggesting he\u2019s only the right story away from making a truly transcendent piece of art . [ b ]\nfrom the sea we shift our sights to the sky , where a high - flying design ( third - place winner ) aims to supplement dense cities with much - needed recreational and green space . capped with a helium balloon and supported by solar - powered propellers , light park ( by ting xu and yiming chen ) is a floating skyscraper .\nthe first skyscrapers were impossible drawings at the times they were imagined , yet today glass towers that scale to the skies are everyday structures . on land , by sea , in the air ( or in one case : outer space ) , these entries are daring and visionary , defying convention , technology and at times even gravity .\ntomasz wasilewski ( b . 1980 ) initially took a course in film direction at the film and television academy in warsaw ( 2001 ) and later studied film and television production at the national film school in \u0142\u00f3d\u017a ( pwsftvit , 2006 ) . he shot the short feature nawi\u015b\u0107 ( 2001 ) and the short documentary one - man show ( show jednego cz\u0142owieka , 2008 ) and worked as an assistant director on ma\u0142gorzata szumowska\u2019s 33 scenes from life ( 33 sceny z \u017cycia , 2008 ) . his feature debut in a bedroom ( w sypialni ) was screened in its international premiere in the forum of independents at the karlovy vary iff in 2012 and subsequently enjoyed success at a number of other international festivals . floating skyscrapers is his second feature .\nthe title of \u201cfloating skyscrapers\u201d refers to a third - act anecdote , but tomasz wasilewski \u2019s second film is deeply intrigued by the cold architecture of building exteriors and the claustrophobia of the indoors . while kuba and sylwie claim to be comfortable sharing space with another , the camera never fails to capture them cramped within the frame , inconveniencing each other . and when characters collide outside in scenes of lust or violence , one can\u2019t ignore how they are framed against oppressive outdoor objects . with a fairly short runtime , it\u2019s also worth noting how wasilewski manages to capture the nude body , both male and female : a mid - film intimacy session between kuba and sylwie lingers on what appears to be an unsimulated act of cunnilingus between the actors , their hips eventually uniting like two pieces meant to be together .\nas evidenced by his debut feature , wasilewski is interested in provocative sexual behavior and has no problem getting his thesps to play intimate , graphic scenes . however , he\u2019s less successful when it comes to creating appealing characters in which the audience can take a rooting interest . nevertheless , \u201cskyscrapers\u201d marks a big step up from the low - budget \u201cbedroom\u201d and showcases the helmer\u2019s flair for composition and intelligent use of sound .\ndubbed the \u201c first lgbt polish film \u201d , the subject of tomasz wasilewski\u2019s floating skyscrapers is sexual identity in a predominately conservative central europe . the film focuses on kuba , a determined athlete who is forced to confront the feelings he has been , literally , running away from . we are introduced to kuba and the domesticity of his relationship with long - term girlfriend , sylwie , and his highly disciplined , training regime . however , something does not feel right . he is hostile and unengaged by life and the others around him . it\u2019s not until we witness him attend a party that we see a pulse . when he meets mikal , an instant bond is made between the two men , as sylwie looks on . from this moment , the two start meeting regularly defying both the practical and their own personal boundaries of falling in love with each other . there\u2019s something magnetic between them that negates everything else around .\nyoung athlete kuba lives with his mother and girlfriend sylwia ; he spends a lot of time training and preparing for his swimming competitions . at a gallery opening , which he reluctantly attends with sylwia one evening , he meets micha\u0142 , a guy of similar age . while micha\u0142 is aware of his homosexual orientation , kuba , until now experiencing a relatively satisfactory heterosexual relationship , is still finding out who he is . a fragile bond gradually forms between them , yet unfavourable circumstances begin to complicate matters . . . . in his visually compelling romance , talented young polish director tomasz wasilewski offers a sensitive take on issues concerning the unmasking of human sexuality , the quest for identity , and the desire for social acceptance . the film also delivers a superb portrayal of the way in which we muddle through relationships . floating skyscrapers , which director wasilewski describes as\nthe first polish lgbt film , \u201d boldly raises the theme of homosexuality , until now a considerably taboo subject in the film\u2019s country of origin .\nbefore we get to a few back on the ground , we have covered sea , sky and the next step ? space . that\u2019s where the stratosphere network of skyscrapers comes in \u2013 a bold idea by a chinese team to create a skyscraper grid in space . the buckminster - fuller - worthy hex network of globe - spanning architectural infrastructure is mind - boggling in its implications . independently , these incredible towers are impossible to support , but as a network , they reinforce one another , and are mutually suspended above the earth .\nthe boys have an instant connection that immediately raises a red flag with ewa , in the same way ewa ' s presence in kuba ' s life raised a red flag with sylwia . it ' s narrative symmetries such as these that not only help make skyscrapers a compact and structurally reinforced item but also suggest that wasilewski ' s a gifted , detail - oriented writer . a scene in which kuba ' s cooked dinner for the two most important ( but unfortunately incompatible ) people in his young life , ewa and michal , not only beautifully plays up the desires , awkwardness , suspicions and embarrassment of each but also does so without barely any dialogue , relying on looks and mise - en - scene .\nthe events that unfold feature the secretive life they must maintain to see each other . kuba allows the resistance he holds against his sexuality to give way to his initial hedonistic pleasure in the illicit relationship . his underlying self - loathing must play out before he can eventually hold up his hands and allow himself to love mikal despite the odds . it\u2019s very much a film about the unspoken . the script is suggestive and prefers to leave the emotional worlds of the characters to the audiences\u2019 interpretation . the sparse dialogue and tense scenes reveal the unacceptability of his sexuality and the disorder it has made of his world .\ntomasz wasilewski understands that film can be an experience that engages all the senses . his cinematographic aesthetic of clean lines and sobering , often desaturated , grading presents the atmosphere of the characters\u2019 rigid and orderly environment . one scene in particular hits home where the camera is inside the car in which kuba and mikal drive to the top of a multistorey carpark . the elongated scene is repetitive and measured , yet , as they climb from one floor to the next there is a sense of freedom as they find a place to enjoy each other\u2019s company alone .\nthe director also utilizes sound in a way that brings to life poland\u2019s cultural atmosphere . the electronic music throughout reflects the austere and detached sentiment that pervades the film . the programmed beats and synthesizers are used in a way that soundtracks the inner lives of the characters . depeche mode\u2019s \u2018i feel you\u2019 punctuates a heightened scene that marks a turning point in the film in which all involved can no longer continue to ignore the reality of the new relationship . still , it\u2019s not only the music that stays with you . the sounds contained in the film are at once familiar and uneasy to listen to . in kuba\u2019s home the clink of cutlery , the buzzing traffic outside and shouting from the streets are all noises which are routinely true to everyday life . the domestic commotions are pitched as loud as the dialogue , echoing the noise and buzzing thoughts going on in kuba\u2019s mind . a signature of the film is the shots of kuba swimming underwater . the aquatic drones as we watch him swim are almost otherworldly demonstrating the level of escape he reaches through training and routine . the outside world is drowned out and wasilewski allows us to be there with him .\nroyalty strutting on an american college stage : miss and mr . gay isu 2014\npolari magazine is an lgbt arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it . it\u2019s about the lives we lead , not the lifestyles we\u2019re supposed to lead .\nits content is informed & insightful , and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community . its intent is to help lgbt readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past .\npolari is designed to nurture the idea of community , whether that be social and political , or artistic and creative . it is your magazine , whether you want to read it , or whether you want to get involved in it , if you ' re gay , lesbian , bisexual , trans , or queer .\npolari magazine is all these : it ' s a gay online magazine ; it ' s a gay and lesbian online magazine ; it ' s an lgbt arts and culture magazine . ultimately , it is a queer magazine .\nthere ' s a startlingly honest tone to this difficult polish drama , which confronts issues of sexuality and machismo in complex ways . and even though it ' s rather bleak , the story is involving and even compelling as the naturalistic acting and filmmaking hold our attention .\nat the centre of the story , kuba ( banasiuk ) is an athletic and masculine swimmer in his mid - 20s whose sexy girlfriend sylwia ( nieradkiewicz ) is living with him and his mother ewa ( herman ) . but kuba is clearly struggling with his internal desires , which are further sparked when he meets michal ( gelner ) on a night out . as their friendship develops , there ' s definitely a spark of mutual attraction between them , but kuba can ' t even begin to admit that he might be feeling something . michal on the other hand is much more open about it , admitting his romantic feelings and turning to his mother ( kuna ) for help with coming out to his father ( zbrojewicz ) .\npolish cinema has been reluctant to explore homosexuality on - screen , and this film is almost a companion piece to the berlin - winning in the name of , which tackled the same themes in a very different way . the title refers to the way the city looks through tear - filled eyes , and offers a rare touch of emotion for characters who are reluctant to admit their true personal longings . as kuba , banasiuk offers a striking portrayal of a young man who feels betrayed by his emotions . this is a prime specimen of masculinity , often naked on screen as he struts around the locker - room or lounges in bed with sylwia . and his internal yearning for the love of a man makes him doubt everything about himself .\nthis certainly isn ' t the kind of gay drama we ' re used to seeing in the west , where these issues are tackled head - on . this film is much more delicate about it , admitting that in some parts of the world there are deep - seated cultural issues and generational factors that make it very difficult for gay youth to be honest with themselves and others . thankfully , filmmaker wasilewski finds reasons to be hopeful in the repressed polish society . and his beautiful photographic style , particularly in the underwater scenes , gets deep beneath the skin .\nafter the thunderous reception for j . j . abrams ' episode vii : the force awakens two years ago , . . .\nlike the 2015 original , this comedy plays merrily with cliches to tell a silly story . . .\nthere ' s a somewhat contrived jauntiness to this blending of fact and fiction that may leave . . .\nthis animated comedy adventure is based on the beloved children ' s book , which was published in . . .\ndirector dave mccary makes a superb feature debut with this offbeat black comedy , which explores . . .\na dramatisation of the real -

bad coming - out drama in artful , sexually provocative fashion .\nwith : mateusz banasiuk , bartosz gelner , marta nieradkiewicz , katarzyna herman , iza kuna , miroslaw zbrojewicz , olga frycz .\nbuff , macho , bantam - sized , twentysomething kuba ( mateusz banasiuk ) has been training as an elite swimmer for the past 15 years . he spends most of his time working out and having hot sex with his pretty blonde girlfriend , sylwia ( standout marta nieradkiewicz ) , who lives with him and his attractive , controlling mother , ewa ( katarzyna herman , star of wasilewski\u2019s first film , \u201cin a bedroom\u201d ) . the relationship between the two women is tense , exacerbated by sylwia\u2019s inconsiderate behavior and ewa\u2019s calls for her son to rub her back while she\u2019s in the bathtub .\notherwise , kuba seems to have few responsibilities or interests , apart from being a dab hand in the kitchen and indulging in wordless sexual encounters with men in bathroom stalls at the gym . when sylwia drags kuba to an art opening , he ungraciously decamps to a balcony , where he shares a joint and a long conversation with effeminate - looking college student michal ( bartosz gelner ) . glimpsing the two men from across the room , sylwia glowers at the way they seem to be really into each other . she soon has a lot more to scowl about , as kuba abandons her and their plans every time michal calls .\na subplot addresses michal\u2019s relationship with his parents . his mother ( iza kuna ) sympathizes with his sexual preference , yet still encourages him to date girls . his father ( miroslaw zbrojewicz ) , however , plays deaf when michal tries to come out publicly during a family dinner .\none of the weaknesses of the film is that while kuba convincingly comes across as a closeted , self - loathing gay man , his sudden declaration of love for michal at the one - hour mark seems out of character . indeed , their relationship is shown to revolve around physical desire ; we never get to hear their conversations or find out what makes the not particularly likable kuba tick .\nthesping is strong , with the actresses managing to suggest more about their characters than their male counterparts do with theirs . eye -

- and clearly gets - - most of kuba ' s non - pool time and attention .\nbut the bristly tension between the women at home is nothing compared to the testosterone - fueled tension the sexually aggressive kuba experiences during and after practice , as the hard and ripped bodies of his fellow male swimmers have started to act like a red cloth on an aroused bull . initially , it seems that the dominant and indefatigable swimmer just wants to get off any way he can , but this eventually and slowly changes when he meets the soft - spoken , elfin - featured michal ( bartosz gelner ) at a gallery opening he ' s been dragged to by ewa .\n, for every demonstration of innate filmmaking flair or talent , there ' s proof of a debutant ' s maladroitness that pops up elsewhere . the most jarring examples include the ostentatious use of portishead ' s\n- - and some scenes with a totally unexpected switch of perspective to fill in the viewers on michal ' s ( beautifully observed ) coming out to his bourgeois family .\nthe key scene in which michal and kuba finally become an item is also strangely lost in an ellipsis . the boys ' first sex scene , however , is not only convincingly played but also well - placed , suggesting that , perhaps for the first time , kuba has decided to not rush into sex but finally make love .\nthe young central trio of actors is a wonder to behold , with nieradkiewicz ( out of love ) sexy and suspicious in equal measure ; theater thespian and swimmer banasiuk impressive as the macho whose mask slowly comes off as he recognizes he ' s capable of real feelings and gelner ( suicide room ) , who looks strikingly like a young alain delon in some shots , turning michal into someone whose emotional intelligence is greater than that of most of his peers .\nshows he ' s got a good eye for widescreen compositions and interesting angles and excels at using sound -

gorgeous blond girlfriend sylwie ( marta nieradkiewicz ) , whom he seduces regularly , the two of them seemingly in love . or maybe that\u2019s just the cinematic allure of two gorgeous heterosexual people always half - naked around each other : whatever the case , the two live with an older woman in an unexplained arrangement that apparently goes hand - in - hand with his sporting skills . even sex is based around a certain set of requirements .\na date takes the two of them to an art museum , which leads kuba to roll his eyes and even burp at the works collected on the wall . moving outside , he strikes up a conversation with mikal ( bartosz gelner ) , another man seemingly dragged to this presentation , but enjoying the balcony with a thick , well - packed joint . as the two of them trade a spliff , sylwie watches from a distance wordlessly . could she have expected this ?\neventually , because these gay tragedies also function as horror stories for straight females in monogamous relationships , kuba starts sneaking out under his girlfriend\u2019s nose to meet with the mysterious mikal , getting picked up on the side of the highway , or even meeting right after work . despite his domesticated routine with sylwie , kuba begins to question the confident path that\u2019s been set out for him already : it eventually bleeds into his career , with his skills suddenly slacking , his desire to compete waning almost completely .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\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 -

songs . santosh rai pathaje\ns camerawork is fantastic .\nactor santosh who is making debut as hero in \u00e2\u0091nooru janmaku\u00e2\u0092 stands neutral in his observation . he was not there on the spot and there cannot be smoke without fire he says .\nthe movie nooru janmaku is a love story and the director has blended it with the issue of global recession . although he has selected a good script , the movie clearly shows his lack of preparation or home work . nagathihalli , who staunchly believes in simple life style and has depicted the same in all his previous movies , seems to have focused more on creating grandeur . while doing so he has missed out the soul of the film .\nthe melodies by ajaneesh loknath and the excellent cinematography by ravi kumar sana are the highlights of the film . vijay , mayuri and kavya , the three main actors have performed to perfection . that is what makes the film believable . when it comes to narration , the director sticks to the old formula . compulsory comedy tracks , an unrelated sub - plot are all there . ishtakamya is definitely better than the director\u2019s last three films ( olave jeevana lekkachaara , nooru janmaku and breaking news ) but it is nowhere near his best .\nwhen a proved director takes up a film , the expectations are high . after failure of ' nooru janmaku ' nagathihalli chandrasekhar is on low key . he has not been able to come up from failure in the contents of ' breaking news ' . the selection of subject and its treatment is once again put this ace director to difficult spot . the new thought of what is ' breaking news ' the director fails to arrive at . he moves around the same existing theory in the television channels and thus it does not make anything inspiring or director addresses any fresh and relevant points .\nthe business tycoon in the mining industry vinay lad\u00e2\u0092s maiden venture in kannada \u00e2\u0091nooru janmaku\u00e2\u0092 directed by nagathihalli chandrasekhar ( he attacked the miners in the earlier film \u00e2\u0091mathad mathad mallige\u00e2\u0092 and now making a film for a top miner ) released the audio album in pomp and gaiety at chancery pavilion on monday evening in bangalore .\nshe\u2019s not afraid to stand up for herself and fight . even if she has to do it alone like in the case of the big controversy between her and director nagathihalli chandrashekhar . it has been a little more than a month since the controversy broke out and on the front , things may have been resolved . but it looks like the wounds of actress aindrita ray are still fresh . ask her if she has spoken to the director since then and she replies , \u201cno , and i wouldn\u2019t really want to speak to him . i am more than willing to be part of the promotions of the film but nothing more than that . \u201d does that mean they wouldn\u2019t work together again ? \u201cnot in the near future at least , \u201d says aindrita , who is not willing to speak further about the topic . as for the new year , aindrita wants to start afresh . she has completed all her pending projects and even went on a long and a much - deserved break to goa with her friends to chill out for a week . \u201clast year was very hectic for me , so i decided to give myself a week - long break where i cut off from all means of communication . now that i am back , i am returning all the calls i missed and looking out for some fresh projects which will excite me , \u201d she adds . while 2009 saw many films of hers emerge as hits like junglee and manasare , 2010 will see her in three new roles , she says . if dhool will see her do a comedy - cum - glamourous role , nooru janmaku will see a slightly mature aindrita . plus she has another film called manasina maathu , where she plays a girl - next - door . \u201cthough i like doing glamourous roles , this year i would like to concentrate on doing films which are performance - oriented , something which i have not done before . it\u2019s time i became more selective with my films , \u201d she explains . so till the damsel signs any new film , what will she do ? \u201ci have made a resolution this year , which is to be more actively involved in cupa and help stray animals , \u201d she replies .\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nthe accusations made by actress aindrita ray that director nagathihalli chandrasekhar is a womanizer , he misbehaved with me , slapped twice on my face that resulted in emergency medical aid plus nagathihalli\u00e2\u0092s surprising distasteful nature has spread like a wild fire on thursday evening . aindrita ray has filed complaint to karnataka film chamber of commerce , kannada cine artists association and to the kannada film directors association has put down the well built reputation of the ace director nagathihalli chandrasekhar . he is unfit to be called as \u00e2\u0091meshtru\u00e2\u0092 ( teacher ) stated aindrita ray .\nthe 47 years old director of top films in kannada nagathihalli chandrasekhar who is called as \u00e2\u0091meshtru\u00e2\u0092 ( teacher ) a literary personality too is facing charges on his character and conduct for the first time . aindrita ray is a pampered girl . she is uttering lies to gain sympathy in the public . every day she was coming late to the shoot and on the sets at hong kong shoot when 20 chinese dancers are waiting for hours ( who are paid 1000 dollars per hour ) and the entire crew was eagerly looking for aindrita ray she turned up three hours late . he did not even say sorry for coming late . she goes to casinos come late and obviously the day also begins late for her . this is not discipline . she cannot disrupt my concept in work . i have worked with artists like suhasini , thara , suman nagarkar but so far no complaint has come against my style of work . it is first aindrita ray who pushed me strongly and to protest this i slapped mildly on her face says nagathihalli chandrasekhar .\ncameraman santosh rai pathaje , art director shashidhar adapa and make up man phanish made a uniform statement that aindrita ray was coming late and not respecting the work and technicians .\nthe song , which was shot in macau , was choreographed by harsha . \u201cthe lyrics are by nagathihalli and the music by manomurthy , \u201d says santosh . the film\u2019s heroine , aindrita ray , who\u2019s currently shooting for veera parampare in hubli says , \u201call the songs are shot well and this particular number is bound to be a hit . \u201d\nsantosh also has an introductory song . \u201cthe lyrics are from basavanna vachana . i feel very honoured to be introduced to lines like that , \u201d he says . the music of the film releases

it to the audio release on account of \u00e2\u0091slapping\u00e2\u0092 episode controversy with the director .\nthe playback singers rajesh krishnan , md pallavi , hemanth and chitra were present on

.\n. neither the opulent settings nor aindrita ' s restrained and convincing acting manage to save the film .\nstretched . and in the second half , the film doubles up as publicity material for a resort where a song has been shot and a luxury cruise , where the climax unfolds . these branding exercises contribute nothing to the script , which only adds to the length of the film .\nsantosh , who is debuting as a protagonist with this film , is not bad , but has a long way to go . singer rajesh krishnan has dubbed for santosh , but the voice seems unsuitable .\naindrita looks the part and does justice to her role . adarsh balakishna , who is pivotal to the script , is a face meant for the cameras . if only he had made better use of this opportunity . sharan ' s comic timing makes you laugh in most parts . actors mandya ramesh and karibasavaiah have been wasted .\nthe true hero is cinematographer santosh pathaje . he has made magic with his camera , especially in the climax .\ncould have been an ideal family watch , but it is as dull as the recession .\nthe movie has several unwanted / arbitrary sequences , which contribute nothing but unnecessarily drag the film . the growth of vinyas ' s firm and its downfall is shown in superficial terms . the star cruise of macau and the fantastic hong kong outdoors in a song sequence in the second half clearly shows that the director\ns quest to achieve commercial success has superseded his sensibilities . but the essence of the film comes through only in the climax \u2014 poignant , yet beautiful .\nvinyas ( santhosh ) is an architect . after he is thrown out of a private firm , he starts his own business . he hires drishti ( aindrita ray ) as his assistant , who takes his business to new heights . he confesses his love to drishti while she is leaving the company after the three - year contract . but she reveals her engagement to a childhood friend and leaves the company . what happens next will form the climax of the movie .\nsantosh , who has earlier played minor roles in several movies , has now debuted as an independent hero with this film and he has shown that he is fit to be a hero . he expresses thoughts through his facial expression in several sequences . but he has to struggle a lot to prove his mettle . aindrita ray\ns performance is a highlight of the film and she has done justice to her role . adarsh balakishna manages to impress the audience . though sharan , mandya ramesh , karibasavayya and bank janardhan ' s comedy is partially good , the director seems to have wasted these talented actors .\ntaarak mehta ka ooltah chashmah dr . hathi : bhide master , mandar gets tearyeyed on the news filmibeat\nmumbai , december 14 : the most - talked about controversy ever in kannada

psycho - analytical approach for a personal story of doctor palaloga ( a love story ) . unlike the communist movies of the 70ies and 80ies , which were bringing the political system into characters ' inner clashes , the mischievous adolescent is more in tune with french and italian movies of that time . characters say important things , do not wallow around shallow and petty conversation ( for big dialogue see also suta de lei , the hundred lei ) . music is also used brilliantly - an urban , rhythmic music to pace the story up and down . camera movements and angles , the non - linear editing - just like la cap\u0103tul liniei , at the end of the train tracks - are creating an urban environment for the urban story .\nrebel , like the breakfast club , also focuses on vital but unlikely friendships that form over the course of a single day . dean\u2019s loner character , jim stark , starts at a new school , hoping for friends , but instead gets immediately embroiled in knife fights and chickie runs , the adolescent transgressions for which the film is best remembered . what really stands out in rebel from a wider perspective , though , is the tumultuous relationship between the movie\u2019s parents and their offspring . when jim and judy pretend to be a young couple shopping for a house , jim asks about children , and judy remarks , \u201cthey\u2019re such a bother . \u201d plato remembers lying in his crib , listening to his parents fight . jim is embarrassed and let down by his hen -

as - rich\nparts of the\ncivilized\nworld . i think this movie is a part of a cleansing . a cry to the world ; don ' t let sick stuff happen . it might just be me , but i thought i could see all that through out the film . it is a very well made movie . the acting is solid to the end . the camera - work is just superb . lighting , sets and costumes are just delicious ! it ' s got texture . a look of it ' s own . the gore effects are also unbelievably well made . that is why this film is so hard to watch . it all seems a little too real to be entertaining . i love gore film , i do . but i prefer the campy ones with obviously fake gore . it ' s just too real to be comfortable . so i ' ll give this movie a solid 7 out of 10 . it ' s really good but it ' s also really hard to watch .\nbrown sugar ,\nwhich charts romantic passages in these lives , is a romantic comedy , yes , but one with characters who think and talk about their goals , and are working on hard decisions . for both sidney and dre , hip - hop music symbolizes a kind of perfect adolescent innocence , a purity they ' re trying to return to as more cynical adults .\nas well as painting the houses , the crew also had to install a lot of shrubs for edward to sculpt into his creations in the film . the finished works , however , weren\u2019t real , but the creation of the art department . welch said : \u201cwe designed them in the art department . we said , \u2018okay , how about one is a dinosaur and one is a turtle and whatever ? \u2019 they tended to be fantastical animals .\nu4u is an innovative mix of educational activities which provides teens critical information and services to help protect them from poor decisions and abuse . it will be followed by an awarding ceremony on december 7 at the up film center .\nthe houses were painted in faded pastel colours , to represent the aspirations of suburban living , and some were given fake fronts with smaller windows to give a greater sense of paranoia . the vast majority of houses were painted back afterwards , but some liked their scissorhands makeovers . although all inhabitants eventually gave up their houses for the shoot , there was one man \u2013 who lived in the middle house \u2013 who only allowed the crew to use his at the last minute . the crew were expecting to have to film around the house .\ntelly , the self - proclaimed \u201cvirgin surgeon , \u201d who spends much of the film trying to seduce pubescent girls . \u201cman , i was so bad with girls before the movie , \u201d mr . fitzpatrick said . \u201cand it sure didn\u2019t help my cause any . people attached me to the character a lot more than i attached myself to it . \u201d\nthe young adolescent melinda sordino arrives at high school feeling confused , depressed and alone . her school peers call her\nsquealer\n, because she alerted the police during a summer party after she was sexually assaulted by andy evans . she refuses to tell anyone the events that took place . her depression and distance from people is made worse by the increasingly large gap between her and her parents . she finds great support with her art teacher mr . freeman and her school friend david petrakis . her feelings threaten to engulf her but melinda learns to grow from her experiences instead of repressing the past emotions that have scarred her for the rest of her life .\nthey say the clothes make the man , and these are some killer duds .\nreleased 20 years ago this month , the film centers on a cabal of broken new york teenagers who spend 24 hours boozing , rolling blunts , fighting and indulging in unsafe , emotionally vacant sex . it is \u201clord of the flies\u201d with skateboards , nitrous oxide and hip - hop .\nmr . fitzpatrick exiled himself to london after the film\u2019s release , but he returned to new york and acting several years later . after appearing in mr . clark\u2019s \u201cbully\u201d in 2001 , he spent three seasons on \u201cthe wire\u201d on hbo and had a role on \u201csons of anarchy . \u201d\ntomokawa works as a policeman in a small town . during the hot summer he lazily strolls the streets , passing the time setting up petty deals and seducing married women . then suddenly the young and beautiful yoko steps into his life with an offer no man can refuse . the fiery affair which ensues radically changes both their lives . the girl falls passionately in love with the policeman and he , unable to conquer his feelings , loses his carefully cultivated mask of sophisticated cynicism . moreover , they have much more in common than was at first apparent . yoko\u2019s mother is tomokawa\u2019s ex - girlfriend and her father , yoko\u2019s grandfather , designed the wonderful tattoo of a single - winged phoenix on the policeman\u2019s back . and it is the old man who becomes enraged when he finds out about his granddaughter\u2019s relationship with tomokawa . the lovers are unprepared for its surprising outcome . eiji okuda on his film : \u201cin developing the story for an adolescent , i focused on the \u201cpure love\u201d between a middle - aged man and a young girl . what i wanted to do was depict the union of two pure souls , where this union is never just sex and will never be fulfilled . i will be very happy if i can get across an important message : be yourself , regardless of the absurdity of the world\u201d .\nbo welch , the film\u2019s production designer , told the huffington post how they rented 20 houses in a cul - de - sac by paying the people who lived in them and putting them up in a variety of accommodations : from disneyland to a super - 8 motel . some locals took on work as extras , but many quit after they realised the long hours expected of them in the hot florida weather .\nin serbia , the retired porn star milos is married with his beloved wife marija and they have a little son , peter , that is their pride and joy . the family is facing financial difficulties , but out of the blue , milos is contacted by the porn actress lejla that offers him a job opportunity in an art film . milos is introduced to the director vukmir that offers a millionaire contract to milos to act in a film . however , vukmir neither show the screenplay nor tell the story to milos . milos discuss the proposal with marija and he signs the contract . but sooner he finds that vukmir and his crew are involved in sick snuff films of pedophilia , necrophilia and torture and there is no way back to him and maybe it is too late to protect his family .\nalthough burton had drawn a character with sharp implements for hands years before the film and based it on his experiences feeling out of place while growing up in suburban california , scissorhands came to life after the director met with scriptwriter caroline thompson , who had been nurturing a frankenstein - style story .\nby the late \u201960s , youth broke with establishment almost completely , as did youth - aimed movies like easy rider . the \u201970s brought slasher films and musicals like grease , but the movie that best focused on the teen years was also a nostalgia piece : george lucas\u2019 1973 film american graffiti . hughes picked up the graffiti baton about a decade later for his string of teen films . sixteen candles explored high - school social structure . ferris bueller\u2019s day off , rebellion from authority . pretty in pink and its gender - switched equivalent , some kind of wonderful , classism . but only the breakfast club condensed all of them into a single film , making it hughes\u2019 best .\nas a teenager in west orange , n . j . , mr . fitzpatrick would ride the bus to new york and skateboard in washington square park . there , he befriended mr . clark , whose proclamations about making a film were initially dismissed as idle chatter . the decision to cast mr . fitzpatrick ( 16 at the time ) was initially met with resistance from the film\u2019s producers . \u201cthey wanted ricky schroder or something , whoever the hot kid was , \u201d mr . fitzpatrick said . \u201cthey wanted somebody who was probably more charismatic , better looking , that you could understand what he was saying . but larry knew that wasn\u2019t authentic . \u201d\nthe films screened were already regional winners and competed in the national level for the following categories : best film , best director , best cinematography , best musical scoring , best screenplay , best actor , best actress , best supporting actor , best supporting actress , best editing , best poster , best trailer , best production design and best sound design .\nthe vampire lestat becomes a rock star whose music wakes up the queen of all vampires .\nthe ahd film festival was originally conceived to provide a venue for creativity among young people and at the same time raise their awareness on various issues affecting them such as teenage pregnancy , early sexual encounters , climate change among others . this year\u2019s theme , kabataan , kalusugan , kalikasan : magkaugnay , highlights the interrelationship among population , health and environment ( phe ) and its effects in the context of sustainable development .\n\u201cif you look at all my work , i\u2019m always about three years early , \u201d mr . clark said . \u201cso the kids who saw the film said : \u2018gee , man , this gets what\u2019s happening . this is real . \u2019 whereas a lot of parents said , \u2018it\u2019s a dirty old man\u2019s fantasy . \u2019 all you had to do was read the newspapers over the next few years , and everything was true . \u201d\nas a tentative friendship builds between the two , rachel\u2019s motives remain opaque , even as walsh elegantly toggles the pic\u2019s point of view between them . whether the more well - heeled girl is acting out of genuine loneliness , passive - aggressive spite or unarticulated sexual curiosity is enticingly open to question , though a critical revelation in the film\u2019s rushed , somewhat ungainly final reel reframes their acquaintance in a manner more dramatically startling than it is psychologically satisfying . on the surface , shelly\u2019s nervous relationship with mikey is easier to parse , but it comes with its own moral fractures and complexities : the depth of affection on either end isn\u2019t immediately clear . while comparisons to pawlikowski\u2019s \u201cmy summer of love\u201d are tempting , every romantic angle in walsh\u2019s less seductive film is a potential bluff .\nan ironic pink heart dots the \u201ci\u201d in the troubled - teen tale \u201cthe violators\u201d \u2014 perhaps the sole playful touch in this stern , striking debut from british novelist - turned - helmer helen walsh . treading ground initially derivative of works by andrea arnold and pawel pawlikowski before going on its own genre - tinged tangent , this study of adolescent desire and alienation across class lines takes its time nurturing a tensely ambiguous relationship between its two young female leads \u2014 alertly played by newcomers lauren mcqueen and brogan ellis \u2014 only to squander a measure of that intrigue on a blunt third - act twist . early berths in edinburgh and karlovy vary portend a healthy festival run for this auspicious arrival , though distributors may hold back .\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\ncolin firth is both ludicrously british and modern - day hollywood in kingsman : the secret service , the wildly enjoyable new film from matthew vaughn . his harry hart muses on the importance of a bespoke suit one moment and dispatches a band of villains with precise alacrity and nifty gadgets the next . this movie stands in reverence of the english upper classes and the seeming ease with which they gracefully solve problems , yet is so wonderfully absurd that , if one were ever to speak so coarsely , one would say they were \u201ctaking the piss\u201d . kingsman quite neatly has its scone and eats it , too .\nwhen milos drives back to vukmir ' s mansion , the camera crew is reflected in the car .\nthis time the family was that of jay silverman , an accomplished film and tv producer , director and writer , and he has brought his keen skills to this semi - fictionalized movie . silverman directed and co - wrote girl on the edge . his admiration for his traumatized daughter , ( second ) wife and the clinicians who helped them is palpable , lends pathos and provides hope for others traveling a similar path .\nthe silvermans are privileged people and did the right thing for their daughter , and that was very hard . but few families will be able to afford a private ranch for months of treatment ; others may but only by having to mortgage their home or accrue large debt . however , the silverman ' s story need not be for those of financial means alone : what the film illustrates are the necessary elements for any troubled teenager , or adult , to rebuild a life after trauma or with a mental or addictive disorder .\nepp was 27 at the time , and just embarking on a credible film career . in an interview published weeks after scissorhands\u2019 release , he seemed humble and unsure of his career trajectory : \u201ci may be around for 20 or 30 years , or 20 or 30 minutes ,\nhe said . \u201cwho knows ? \u201d\nrosario dawson is now a hollywood star ; ms . sevigny is accomplished in film and fashion ; leo fitzpatrick bounces between acting and art ; larry clark , the director , has continued to make films focused on youth counterculture . and harmony korine , who was 19 when he wrote the screenplay in his grandmother\u2019s basement in queens , has directed films including 2012\u2019s \u201cspring breakers . \u201d\nrecovery from trauma and mental and addictive disorders is built on trusting relationships , protecting people from their own shame and the shaming of others , and small but clear steps that can be observed and used as anchors and reassurance when the going gets rough . we see that portrayed with care in girl on the edge . that ' s a message so many families need to see , and this film offers them a story to believe in .\nkingsman is a highly advanced , well - funded independent secret service unaligned with any government . if the bit of exposition in the film is to be believed , it was founded by high - end tailors looking to maintain world security so as to ensure a market for their sharp and fancy wares . it\u2019s preposterous , but you buy it since the info drops during a tour of the very elegant , somewhat steampunky private underground system that can whisk agents from london to their manor outside of town .\nmuch is made of the five leads as generic stereotypes : brain , beauty , jock , rebel , basket case . in classic hughes fashion , the beauty and jock are at the top of the high - school structure , the others further down the ladder . but the fact that \u201ccustodial artist\u201d carl is seen in a brief shot at the beginning of the movie as a former high school star is a sly nod to what hughes thinks of people who peak in high school .

' '\no . henry is known for entertaining and clever short stories . here is a list of some of his famous stories with a short summary for each .\nbenn w . levy ( 1900 - 1973 ) was for many years active as a playwright and as a director of his own and other people ' s plays . for nearly five years , from 1945 to 1950 , he was labour mp for the eton and slough division of buckinghamshire . his his plays include : hollywood holiday , springtime for henry , c . . .\nas i come across more o . henry short stories they will be added to this page .\nexcept for the age discrepancy between mr . evans and mr . martin , the four are relatively well - matched . unfortunately , their vehicle is a relic .

born tony tanner , the roundabout revival strives for the airy farcicality that can look so easy when it comes off and seem so labored when it doesn ' t . the plot concerns playboy henry dewlip ( peter evans ) , a short -

on simply taken for granted .\nthis is what we think about when we think about o henry . in that it ' s the real article it ' s even more concentrated . his turn of phrase is truly unique . completely different from how we write now , it conveys not only the authors pov , obvious intelligence and love for his subject matter but also manages to sketch characters and build in pathos and sympathy for them in a minimum of pages . appropriately , it ' s ironic that this seeming verbosity creates dramatic economy .\nthe huntington\u2019s henry is christopher fitzgerald . he and co -

eyed due to the realism and bitterness ; and yet others leave you equally teary - eyed with rib - cracking laughter . o . henry , like all great writers , is a master of emotion and he takes you through the broad spectrum of love , loss , friendship , riches , misery ,\ncoming into this collection i was only really familiar with the\ngift of the magi\nand one or two other random stories by o . henry i read in some english class or another . i enjoyed o . henry ' s use of wordplay throughout and his humorously constructed scenarios . the twist endings , when done well , were enjoyable . i did find that some of the twists felt a bit contrived , or were easily anticipated . i wanted them to be cleverer or more exciting . maybe this is because i ' ve grown up in a world that o . he\nin the boffo 80s flick ruthless people , danny de vito ' s character ' s wife is kidnapped the day he was planning to kill her . he refuses to pay her ransom , hoping that the kidnappers will kill her and do his dirty work for him . instead , she ends up forming a close bond with the kidnappers . it ' s based on the ransom of red chief by o . henry .\na classic by o . henry of 25 short stories many with witty lessons that end with plot twists . there is an underlying theme of despair , many of the stories take place in nyc with ordinary people , situations and involve boarding houses and people at the end of their hope . there were several i really enjoyed , several were very dated and a few i just really didn\u2019t care for . the 1st story \u201cthe gift of the magi\u201d i remember from high school reading . a young couple desperate to buy a nice present for each\non one occasion , after having her dinner , sarah hit upon an idea . she tells the owner of the schulenberg\u2019s restaurant that it will be a good idea to have the menu neatly typed for the convenience of the customers . the owner quickly agrees and offers to provide three meals everyday to sarah as compensation for the menu typing she would do for the restaurant .\nreading o . henry ' s stories for the first time made me realize a few things . firstly , that i knew quite a few of them from childhood . some had managed to become anecdotes ( surely a major compliment to any writer ) i remember for their wit , others i ' d read in newspaper and magazine supplements without registering much beyond the enjoyment of a good story well told ( that ' s how one becomes an avid reader ) . secondly , that satire relies not only on acquaintance with the context but also on recognizable\na very refreshing read . \u201cwhen ye run down politeness ye take the mortar from between the bricks of the foundations of society\u201d [ \u2018between rounds\u2019 ] \u2014page 23 o . henry is one of my favorite go to guys whenever i need to cleanse my reading pallet . \u2018the four million\u2019 is a collection of 25 short stories all set in new york city in the early 1900s . although i was already familiar with many of these tales , having read them in other o . henry compendiums , they none -

paying jobs is very winning . where o . henry has the advantage is in his baroque handling of english . he has a great time mixing metaphors , using arcane words or sometimes minting his own , and his playfulness contributes massively to the success of the stories . from now on , i will import into my own vocabulary the exclamation\nby the deported snakes !\n( from the story entitled between rounds ) .\nan excellent read . o . henry ' s tales are full of life , details , descriptions , emotion , humor and needless to say , surprise . some of the stories leave you awestruck with the way he perceives and portrays mundane things ; some others leave you teary - eyed due to the realism and bitterness ; and yet others leave you equally teary - eyed with rib - cracking laughter . o . henry , like all great writers , is a master of emotion and he takes you through the broad spectrum of love , loss , friendship , riches , misery , marriage and duty with the hand of a connoisseur .\naaron mcgruder created uncle ruckus , an original character , for the the boondocks animated series . he was a boomerang bigot meant to be the most hated character on the show . instead , he became one of the most popular , for all the wrong reasons .\nfor a particular flower that existed in the ravaged old world , never expecting anyone to actually find it . however , one such knight\nmicool completely intended for kyubey to be a joke character , but somehow managed to get a girl to sign a contract with him .\ntwilight : rainbow , i have good news and bad news for you . the good news is that trixie is gone forever . you can never play as her again .

but i also don ' t care . this collection includes\nthe gift of the magi\n, that holiday classic - which i first learned of through sesame street when they adapted it so that it was bert & ernie as the couple .\nthis is a sub trope of failure gambit . compare fake real turn , with\nfake\nand\nreal\nreplaced with\nfailure\nand\nsuccess\nrespectively . common for people with dismotivation . may be caused by a plague of good fortune . if the initial failure would be getting in trouble with the authorities , see cant get in trouble for nuthin . compare with nice job fixing it , villain . for one going for success and succeeding despite others thinking he won ' t , see and you thought it would fail . for when one doesn ' t even try to do anything but ends up winning anyway , see wins by doing absolutely nothing . reassignment backfire is similar where one sends a person they don ' t like or is expendable on a dangerous or impossible mission with the hopes they ' ll be killed in action , only for that person to come back alive and successful .\ndean martin had no intention of doing a weekly variety show and asked nbc for an enormous salary and insisted that his contract include clauses that allowed him to skip rehearsals and refuse to do retakes among other outrageous demands . nbc agreed to every single demand and dean felt honor - bound to do it . the show ended up running for 9 years , followed by the dean martin celebrity roast specials that ran for an additional 10 years . true to his word , however , dean refused to rehearse or shoot retakes and was usually in his car and well on his way home before shooting even wrapped for the day .\na classic by o . henry of 25 short stories many with witty lessons that end with plot twists . there is an underlying theme of despair , many of the stories take place in nyc with ordinary people , situations and involve boarding houses and people at the end of their hope . there were several i really enjoyed , several were very dated and a few i just really didn\u2019t care for . the 1st story \u201cthe gift of the magi\u201d i remember from high school reading . a young couple desperate to buy a nice present for each other sells their most valuable possession which leaves then with a lot of love at christmas and worthless gifts . many of the stories have that kind of twisted ending .\nre - read when i was in the mood for something simple , funny , heart - warming , and entertaining as hell . no wonder o henry is one of the greatest short story writers who ever lived . he can make you rofl , cry , or smack your head when you did not see a twist coming . of the 25 stories in this collection ( all very good ) , my favourites are : the gift of the magi : a young woman sacrifices her most precious possession to buy her husband a christmas gift ; the cop and the anthem : a homeless guy tries everything to get arrested so he can spend the snowy winter in the warmth of prison ; springtime a la carte : a young woman loses the love of her life , but what do daffodils have to do with anything ? after twenty years : a lot changes in twenty years but not a man ' s nose ; by courier : an urchin swaps messages between two lovers in his own style ; the furnished room : a man in search of the woman he loves hires a strange room that creeps him out . this story won ' t give you a bellyache , just some pain near the heart .\nby terry fallis follows daniel addison , a liberal party political strategist who wants to leave politics and start teaching at his alma mater . daniel attempts to destroy his credibility by convincing angus mclintock , his new colleague / landlord , to run for parliament for the liberals even though he is considered unelectable ( and doesn ' t actually\nmiss brooks is sent to make yet another speech , and the students attend classes for the day . and stay in detention until 4 : 00 p . m .\njoss whedon has joked that he fully expected dollhouse to get cancelled after one season , and that fox only renewed the series for a second season to spite him .\nin the legend of kyrandia book 3 , the protagonist malcolm is summoned by the fish queen for a game of tic - tac - toe . despite her enthusiasm for the game , she is exceptionally bad at it , and will always demand a rematch if malcolm wins . thus , you have to go out of your way to lose .\nin addition , intentionally modifying memes to resemble vectors for rage comics became a meme of its own on 4chan , one of them being altered \u25ca versions \u25ca of trollface .\nre - read when i was in the mood for something simple , funny , heart - warming , and entertaining as hell . no wonder o henry is one of the greatest short story writers who ever lived . he can make you rofl , cry , or smack your head when you did not see a twist coming . of the 25 stories in this collection ( all very good ) , my favourites are : the gift of the magi : a young woman sacrifices her most precious possession to buy her husband a christmas gift ;

two of the most notable cases were john elway ( in 1983 ) and eli manning ( in 2004 ) , who refused to play for the colts and the san diego chargers , respectively , and instead were traded to different teams ( elway with the denver broncos , manning with the new york giants ) .\n\u2013 just for your consideration , the dandelion globe also works as a clock of sorts . its flowers open at about 5 in the morning and close at about 8 in the evening . it has been used by shepherds for centuries . it also works as a barometer . if the globe is completely open , then the weather will be fine . if it closes like an umbrella , it will probably rain .\n, the intention being that corbyn , even more politically to the left than michael foot , would steer labour to a colossal election defeat that would bury the conservatives ' main opposition or allow the uk independence party ( ukip ) to take their place and ensure a right - wing domination of british politics for a generation . if this is true then all indications point to this backfiring spectacularly for the conservatives , as\ncurrently you have javascript disabled . in order to post comments , please make sure javascript and cookies are enabled , and reload the page . click here for instructions on how to enable javascript in your browser .\nthe apparent logic here was that it was better to have a boss that employees respect than one they like , but as was typical for jimmy , he didn ' t explain himself very well at first .\nthe premise of the 2017 comedy the mayor is a young rapper runs for mayor of his small california town just to get publicity for his new album . he acts up majorly in debates , no sense of decorum , rants about how normal folks really feel and slamming his opponent , convinced this will get him in the limelight and make his album a hit . on election night , guess what happens . . ."]}

'\nthe first reactions to guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 have been shared on twitter following a press screening in la .\nlikewise , in guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 we discover so much about our rag - tag band of heroes . we learn more about star - lord ' s parents and his backstory . we discover that the assumptions we made ( and that peter made ) about one of the first film ' s chief antagonists were tragically misguided . relationships between the guardians are deepened and expanded in the sequel , giving the narrative more dimension . in this way , the sequel actually changes and impacts the original . the way we watch the first film will never be the same .\nsaying that , i believe the sequel surpasses the first in its original approach to the story . the plot ( spolier alert ) of peter ' s dad and his murderous , evil plans are really just there to have a reason to make a film - otherwise it ' s character development that carries that film , with insanely good humour and atmosphere . i already thought , based on the first film , that guardians is one of the most entertaining and original marvel storylines put on screen - even though it sounded like it ' ll be just a weak attempt at first - and this sequel just goes to show .\nego himself introduces some apparently huge freudian issues to the film , which on paper would seem to take the film\u2019s emotional impact up a notch or two . but they are dealt with insouciantly , even flippantly \u2013 far more so than in something like star wars or superman . that\u2019s in keeping of course , with the distinctive comic flavour of this franchise , but the revelations about quill\u2019s background just zing and ping around with the same pinball - velocity as everything else in the film . it\u2019s fun , though gotg2 doesn\u2019t have the same sense of weird urgency and point that the first film had . they\u2019re still guarding , although the galaxy never seems in much danger .\nguardians of the galaxy vol 2 retains the look and tone of the original , replete with semi - crude humor , heartfelt moments , and bombastic action pieces . at the same time , it gives us an entirely new story without rehashing too much of the first film ' s narrative formula .\nwith over \u00a333m in 17 days , the second guardians of the galaxy movie has overtaken la la land ( \u00a330 . 4m ) to become the second biggest hit of 2017 , behind only beauty and the beast ( uncatchable at \u00a371 . 6m ) . this means disney has scored the two biggest hits of the year so far in the uk . the first guardians of the galaxy film grossed \u00a328 . 5m in summer 2014 .\nguardians 2 will be released in the uk on april 28 , 2017 , and in the us on may 5 , 2017 .\ni ' d rather watch this than guardians of the galaxy . so it ' s got that going for it at least .\nhere ' s how the cast of ' guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 ' looks compared to their comic - book counterparts\nin\nguardians of the galaxy ,\nayesha is the golden high priestess of a group of perfect beings called the sovereign .\ndamn . i loved guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 . @ jamesgunn is a hero and surprise faces steal the show .\nguardians of the galaxy vol . 2 is filled with tons of surprises and an unexpected amount of emotion . another marvel winner .\ngunn revealed that the movie is set only two months after the first film , which presumably places the events before the avengers - dividing events of captain america : civil war .\ncopyrights and trademarks for the film and related entertainment properties mentioned herein are held by their respective owners and are used with permission or solely for the promotional purposes of said properties .\nwas the fourth film in history to gross $ 1 billion worldwide . and since that time , there have been just five other comic book superhero movies to do so , namely\nwhether these characters turn up in avengers : infinity war or guardians 3 is still up for debate , of course , but one thing is for sure \u2013 based on what we\u2019ve seen and heard , there\u2019s plenty of life in the guardians for years to come .\nare marvel studios bound by the same child labour laws as everyone else ? the reason i ask is that the production design team on guardians of the galaxy vol 2 appears to have been entirely composed of sugared - up three and four - years - olds going berserk . not that the first guardians of the galaxy film , a swashbuckling science - fiction offshoot from the marvel cinematic universe , was a paragon of bressonian austerity to start with .\nthat\u2019s not to say that the film isn\u2019t enormous fun . the usp of the guardians films remains the deft writing by james gunn . if the avengers film scripts are the charismatic alpha frat heroes , guardians of the galaxy represents the wisecracking nerdy outsiders . which , let\u2019s face it , is always going to play well with a comic - book - movie audience . the space pirate steampunk aesthetic gives the movie a distinctively battered and cranky appeal . the story , which sees peter quill ( chris pratt ) unravel the question of his true parentage , goes heavy on themes of family and redemption . still , in the generic , effects - heavy blitzkrieg of a final act , the film loses both the human ( ish ) connection and the scrappy maverick spirit that sets it apart from its marvel stablemates .\nthis film escapes the general sequel fate by acting being on par if not better ( yes better ) than the first one . the soundtrack rivals the first , and it has even more funny come - backs than before . well worth a watch , even if you ' re not a marvel fan . this is the perfect non - superhero superhero film !\nguardians undoubtedly manages to deliver set pieces that have never been seen before and in a moscow setting still relatively alien to international audiences .\nare you ready for a second dose of guardians of the galaxy ?

publication was only eight month after richardson\u00b4s publication of pamela and only two month after fielding\u2019s publication of shamela . since anti - pamela is to be seen as a critical response to both of these two books , it is obvious that richardson\u2019s epistolary novel has an outstanding impact on society . the title , anti - pamela , was probably borrowed from james parry\u2019s book , the true anti - pamela , which was published eleven days after haywood\u2019s piece of writing . parry had launched two advertisements for his book , where the name anti - pamela appeared . 34 in anti - pamela there are topics such as sexual hypocrisy and class mobility , but the characters are very different from richardson\u2019s book . the heroine in haywood\u2019s book finds all her suitors sexually repulsive , nevertheless , she tries to climb up the social ladder by trying to marry upward . therefore , critics say , that haywood\u00b4s book was only written to capitalise from the hype of pamela and shamela . 35\n\u201cit would be little exaggeration to say that the brilliance of pamela lay as much in commercial strategy as in literary achievement . \u201d

pamela is set on returning to her parents , and he has her taken away to his estate in lincolnshire .\nin a conclusion , the \u201ceditor\u201d of pamela\u2019s letters reveals that pamela\u2019s later life continues to be a happy one : she receives semiannual visits from her parents and bears several children . she remains popular among the local gentry and nobility , and even lady davers continues on good terms with the squire and his wife . pamela succeeds in establishing the moral character of miss goodwin , who does not repeat her mother\u2019s mistakes .\nmeanwhile , squire b . \u2019s sister , lady davers , strongly opposes a union of her brother and pamela on grounds that the latter is a mere servant . but the squire ignores her . all is thus going well\u2013so well , in fact , that mrs . jewkes has a change of heart and renounces her past cruelties to pamela . sometime later , pamela and the squire marry in a private ceremony in a chapel at the lincolnshire estate . mr . williams presides , mr . peters gives pamela away , and mrs . jewkes witnesses the ceremony .\nthe attempt comes , sooner rather than later , and pamela resists it vigorously . disconcerted but only temporarily deterred , mr . b . tries to bribe pamela to keep quiet about the incident ; she relates it , however , to her parents and to the motherly housekeeper , mrs . jervis . mr . b . begins to make noise about pamela\u2019s gossiping about him in her letters home , prompting pamela to suspect him of stealing her mail . further offenses ensue , including an incident in which mr . b . , hiding in a closet , spies on pamela as she undresses at night and then rushes out to have his way with her . pamela , however , displays a marked tendency to fall into a swoon whenever her master approaches her with lewd intentions , and this peculiarity has the convenient effect of diminishing the squire\u2019s libido .\nsince this poem is not concerned with any content of the novel , but rather with connected background information , this poem shows that there was a public interest in pamela and everything that was connected to pamela . the public wanted to know everything about this book and its background .\nrichardson , samuel ( 1740 ) . pamela ; or , virtue rewarded ( 1st ed . ) . london : messrs rivington & osborn .\npamela meets mr . williams and they agree to communicate by

her because of mr . b ' s social position . sir simon even argues that no one will hurt her , and no family name will be turnished since pamela belongs to the poor andrews family . mr . williams proposes marriage to her to escape mr . b ' s wickedness .\nthe novel is of course a love story , and pamela is the fulcrum on which the story turns . one day , the story centers on familial love , which pamela exchanges with her parents ; the next day , on false love , or lust , which the squire attempts to inflict on pamela ; another day , on brotherly love , which pamela exchanges with mrs . jervis and other coworkers ; and on another day , true romantic love , which pamela exchanges with the squire . love conquers the cruel heart of mrs . jewkes and the proud heart of lady davers . it softens the heart of a fearsome giant , monsieur colbrand . it causes the squire to free the rev . arthur williams from jail . it enables the squire to renounce his past wrongs . and , finally , it enables pamela to embrace the squire ' s illegitimate daughter .\nhowever , the squire delays relocating pamela . in the meantime , he gives her his deceased mother\u2019s fine silk clothes , as well as shifts , handkerchiefs , and aprons . pamela sends the clothes to her mother . a short while later , pamela tells her in another letter that the squire has given her more garments and exquisite shoes . after mrs . andrews writes back to remind her daughter to keep on her guard , pamela replies that the squire has decided to keep her at bedfordshire , for he fears that the nephew of lady davers might make advances toward her .\nwhen pamela returns to the lincolnshire house , she and mr . b get married . yay ! throw the bouquet in our direction , pam !\nthe question and answer section for pamela : or virtue rewarded is a great resource to ask questions , find answers , and discuss the novel .\nwe ' ve known it for a while , but then we ' re spoiled by over 200 years of reading and watching plots based on pamela .\nlater , in front of pamela and mrs . jervis , the squire attempts to downplay the incident , claiming that pamela exaggerated the details . when he asks mrs . jervis for her opinion , she sympathizes with pamela but is afraid to accuse her master of wrongdoing . at this point , pamela has made up her mind to leave bedfordshire and return home . however , she decides to remain at bedfordshire to complete a waistcoat she has been fashioning for the squire . mrs . jervis assures her it will be safe to stay awhile . besides , pamela has worked hard on the coat and observes in a letter to her parents ,\ni never did a prettier piece of work ; and i am up early and late to get it over ; for i\nunfortunately for pamela . mr . b takes a shine to her . he harasses and attempts to rape her , but pamela manages to escape ( though not without severe psychological trauma ) . this phase of the book is chock full of arguments and attempted violence , which means lots of conflict / complication .\nit is fielding\u2019s shamela that is without doubt the most important counter fiction of the original . shamela is also the first response published after richardson\u2019s novel . other examples of importance are eliza haywood\u00b4s anti - pamela and memoirs of the life of lady h - . these two examples are of importance because on the one hand they show that authors tried to capitalize from the hype of pamela . on the other hand , shortly after the publication , there was a hype about the topics in pamela , as a result the public asked for other books concerned with pamela . the demand in society grew as the topic was omnipresent .\neventually mr . b . takes pamela to meet miss goodwin , a little girl at a local boarding school , who pamela rightly concludes is his daughter by sally godfrey . pamela is delighted with the child and requests , though in vain , to take her in as part of the bedfordshire household . mr . b . fills out the story of sally godfrey , detailing the circumstances of their affair and her eventual flight to jamaica , where she is now happily married .\npamela is fifteen - years - old . she is described as a pretty girl , who is also outgoing , sweet , and devoted to her parents . when we first meet pamela , she is working as a servant in mr . b ' s home and regularly fighting off his inappropriate advances . . . .\nbut before she can enjoy being rich and married , pamela has to contend with her mean - girl sister - in - law , lady davers . while lady davers is disturbed to hear that her brother has been brutalizing his servant , she ' s even more upset to think that he might have married her . after extended confrontations between pamela and lady davers and then lady davers and mr . b , everyone makes up , and lady davers accepts pamela as her sister .\nin protecting herself from the clutches of her male employer , pamela is at a considerable disadvantage . the european culture of the 1700s gave every advantage to males , especially upper - class males . pamela , of course , is a lower - class female servant . a pretty servant girl was easy prey for a wealthy master who took a fancy to her , for he could use his money and power to entice her or sexually harass her . after the squire begins treating pamela as a young woman instead of a sexual object , he declares his love for her . however , his sister , lady davers , strongly opposes his relationship with pamela on grounds that she is a mere servant from a lower - class family . only after a long and painful struggle does she come to accept pamela .\nthe climax occurs when the squire declares his love for pamela in the letter he sends her after she leaves his lincolnshire estate . a minor , or secondary , climax occurs when the squire ' s sister , lady davers , overcomes her upper - class pride and prejudice and accepts pamela as her sister - in - law .\npamela and mr . b return to bedfordshire , where pamela wins over all the local gentry , dispenses some of her new - found wealth to the poor , and sets a good example for mr . b ' s illegitimate daughter . see , ladies ? just find yourself a nice abuser and you , too , can live the dream .\npamela : or virtue rewarded study guide contains a biography of samuel richardson , literature essays , quiz questions , major themes , characters , and a full summary and analysis .\nthe author of memoirs of the life of lady h - claims that richardson\u2019s pamela is lady hesilrige . lady hesilriges suitor is arthur hesilrige , seventh baronet of northamton . there were a lot of dates , such as the wedding date and the dates when they lived , in common with the dates richardson gave in pamela . since there are many other examples of women which shared parallels to the life of richardson\u2019s pamela during that time , it cannot be said for sure that arthur hesilrige and lady hesilrige are the basis for richardson\u2019s pamela . 38 also the fact that richardson himself never admitted that these two characters are his role models to his novel , indicates that there is no parallel . the fact that there are authors writing books about speculations , whether richardson\u2019s novel was based on real events , emphasises the fact that it was of high importance to the people and that there was an urge for the public to gain as much information about pamela as they could . it also indicates that writers wanted to capitalise from the public interest on pamela .\nsamuel richardson ' s pamela : or virtue rewarded gives us one of the eighteenth century ' s most famous love stories , though the novel may not sound very romantic to modern readers . in it , a rich gentleman named mr . b relentlessly pursues the virginity of a beautiful and chaste serving girl named pamela . an unscrupulous rake , mr . b , wishes for nothing more than to have his way with the young girl . he repeatedly tries to rape and assault her . unfortunately for mr . b , pamela is a paragon of virtue , and she always manages to escape his attacks . eventually , pamela ' s innate goodness reforms mr . b , and he gives up his pursuit , instead offering her his hand in marriage . in a surprising twist , pamela eventually accepts mr . b ' s proposal and becomes the wife of her would - be rapist .\non their second sunday in bedfordshire , pamela and mr . b . attend church twice , with pamela appearing in a spectacular white - and - gold dress . all the neighbors are appropriately stunned , and the local poor gather to receive alms from the new lady bountiful . a few days later , pamela and mr . b . walk together in the garden , are caught in a shower , and shelter in the summerhouse . there he explains the provisions he has recently made for her in his will . near the end of the week , the newlyweds host another dinner for the neighbors ; it is an occasion for pamela to reflect piously on the goodness of providence and to plan for future good works .\npamela : or , virtue rewarded by samuel richardson , edited by thomas keymer and alice wakely oxford , 592 pp , \u00a36 . 99 , june 2001 , isbn 0 19 282960 2\non 9 january 2007 , bbc radio 4 broadcast the long view which contrasted pamela ' s effect on 18th - century society with that of video games on 20th - century society .\nat lincolnshire , pamela is a virtual prisoner under the watchful eye of the housekeeper , mrs . jewkes . not long after pamela\u2019s arrival , she meets the rev . williams . he has an apartment at the lincolnshire estate but resides most of the time in a village three miles away , where he operates a latin school and sometimes preaches for the village minister at sunday services . he is sensible and sober , and he sympathizes with the deeply distressed pamela . however , there is little he can do to liberate her , for he depends on the squire for his livelihood . when he talks with mrs . jewkes about pamela\u2019s plight , she rebuffs him . she has the authority to ban him entirely from the lincolnshire estate if she so desires .\nthe second volume of the book is a change of pace from the sexual assaults in the first volume . mr . b gets past his issues with pamela ' s social standing and proposes ; however , having been warned by a fortune teller about a possible fake marriage , pamela does not initially accept . at this point , she is finally allowed to return to her parents .\nthere were a lot of written reactions towards pamela in a rich variety of form . many books appeared during a period of about ten years after the publication of the original book . most books expressed a kind of criticism towards richardson\u2019s pamela . to give a brief overview of the dimension of responses that were written , here is an overview of the first ten years after richardson\u2019s publication :\nthere are many more alterations in the three paragraphs of this one letter , almost all small ones calculated to rescue pamela from stylistic inelegance . between the oxford and penguin texts as a whole , there are thousands of differences . yet richardson\u2019s gradual \u2018improvement\u2019 of pamela\u2019s blunt diction and unsophisticated sentence construction almost everywhere gives the impression of a retreat . the author\u2019s last thoughts were invariably his worst . yet , as isn\u2019t the case with wordsworth\u2019s prelude , for example , readers have not been able to see this for themselves and make their own judgments . many of those who have read pamela in 20th - century editions will have wondered why the novel was ever spoken of as daring or innovative . even pamela\u2019s prose style seems prim , as well as implausibly polished for someone of her occupation .\nthe popular tv series ( 26 episodes ) elisa di rivombrosa is loosely based on pamela . the story takes place in the second half of the 18th century in turin ( italy ) . the role of pamela is that of elisa scalzi ( played by vittoria puccini ) in the series . the role of mr . b is that of count fabrizio ristori ( played by alessandro preziosi ) .\nepistolary novels - - novels written as series of letters\u2014were extremely popular during the 18th century , mainly because of richardson ' s pamela . richardson and other novelists of his time argued that the letter allowed the reader greater access to a character ' s thoughts . richardson claimed that he was writing\nto the moment\n: that is , pamela ' s thoughts were recorded nearly simultaneously with her actions .\nmr . b . leaves the lincolnshire estate for a few days , during which interval pamela receives from a gypsy fortune - teller a note warning her of mr . b . \u2019s plans for entrapping her in a sham - marriage . this note causes pamela to react strongly against mr . b . and against her own softening feelings for him . when he returns from his trip he receives from mrs . jewkes a set of pamela\u2019s recent writings ; inferring that her \u201cscribbling\u201d has proceeded unabated in lincolnshire , he demands to see the rest of her literary output , which pamela reluctantly hands over . his reading of these papers only increases his admiration of her character and virtue . he tells her how deeply the writings have moved him and expresses his regret over his rough usage of her , promising to make amends . when pamela , still fearing the sham - marriage , nevertheless repeats her request to return to her parents , mr . b . is hurt and finally , in anger , allows her to leave .\nmr . b . , suspecting mr . williams of colluding with pamela , sends him to prison for debt . pamela concludes that she has run out of options and makes a desperate escape attempt in the middle of the night . the attempt fails when a crumbling wall causes injury to her head and legs . despairing , pamela considers drowning herself in the garden pond , but a sudden renewal of her commitment to life and virtue , which she credits to a divine intervention , saves her . in the morning , the other servants find her lying wounded in an outhouse , and her captivity continues as before .\nthis book was published anonymously on december the 4 th in 1741 . it dealt with the question whether richardson\u2019s pamela had lived in real life . it is likely that the author wanted to profit from the hype of richardson\u2019s novel and therefore the author raised another point of discussion in his book which appeared of interest to many readers . 36 the question whether the character of pamela had existed in real life or not . in the first edition of pamela , richardson himself gave information in the preface that this story had happened in a thirty year period of time before publication . later , in the first publication of the continuation of pamela , richardson states that the story is based on real people and events . richardson only claims that characters\u2019 names and places have been changed , due to avoiding offending the real people . 37\npamela ; or , virtue rewarded is an epistolary novel centering on the relationship between a beautiful servant girl and her aristocratic master . an epistolary novel is one in which a character ( or characters ) tells the story through letters ( epistles ) sent to a friend , relative , etc . , and / or through journal entries . samuel richardson began writing pamela in 1739 and completed and published it in 1740 .\nthe final thing you should know is that pamela : or virtue rewarded reflects anxieties about society in eighteenth - century england , namely the country ' s changing class structure . just think about it : pamela starts off as a regular nobody , and she ends up living in a fancy house with a rich husband . this may not seem like a big deal to us , but the story was quite shocking for many eighteenth - century readers who weren ' t used to social mobility . the novel argues that regardless of her rank , pamela has innate value ; this message appealed to growing numbers of middle class readers .\nafter the wedding , pamela ' s final obstacle is mr . b ' s snooty sister , lady davers . lady davers is skeptical of the marriage because she does not wish to accept a servant into her prestigious family line . witnessing pamela ' s dignified behavior , however , lady davers eventually comes around , but not before letting slip that mr . b has seduced many women , including a woman named sally godfrey .\nin pamela , the letters are almost exclusively written by the heroine , restricting the reader ' s access to the other characters ; we see only pamela ' s perception of them . in richardson ' s other novels , clarissa ( 1748 ) and the history of sir charles grandison ( 1753 ) , the reader is privy to the letters of several characters and can more effectively evaluate the characters ' motivations and moral values .\nfifteen - year - old pamela andrews , the protagonist , tells the story in first - person point of view in ( 1 ) letters she writes to her parents and other characters and ( 2 ) in a journal in which she reports daily happenings as well as the contents of letters written to her . an omniscient narrator intrudes briefly to inform the reader of events outside the scope of pamela\u2019s purview . the author presents the chapters in the form of letters or journal entries . the rising action and development of the conflict take place at squire b . ' s bedfordshire estate . the conflict intensifies after pamela is taken against her will to the squire ' s lincolnshire estate . the conflict reaches its climax when pamela is at an inn between lincolnshire and bedfordshire and receives a letter in which the squire declares his love for her . the long denouement of the story takes place mainly at the lincolnshire estate after pamela returns to the squire . the story concludes when the newlyweds return to the bedfordshire estate . after the conclusion , the author presents observations intended to instruct the reader .\na publication , memoirs of lady h _ _ , the celebrated pamela ( 1741 ) , claims that the inspiration for richardson ' s pamela is the true life marriage of a coachman ' s daughter , hannah sturges , to the baronet , sir arthur hesilridge , in 1725 . samuel richardson claims that the story was based on a true incident related to him by a friend about 25 years before , but did not identify the principals .\nmrs . jewkes follows pamela everywhere , even when she goes for walks on the grounds alone or with williams . however , pamela and the minister communicate in secret via messages left between rocks in the flower garden . they devise an escape plan that requires the help of others . in agreeing to assist pamela , williams is taking a considerable risk , for he appears to be in line for a ministerial promotion\u2013with a generous salary paid by the squire . when he asks local citizens\u2013lady jones , sir simon darnford , and lady darnford\u2013whether they might lodge pamela for a time if she escapes from the squire ' s estate , they refuse to take part . when he asks another minister , mr . peters , the same question , peters tells williams ,\nwhat ! and embroil myself with a man of mr . b . ' s power and fortune ! no , not i , i ' ll assure you ! \u2013\nthe second thing you should know is that pamela : or virtue rewarded was written in the style of a conduct manual . richardson was heavily influenced by nonfiction texts written to improve a person ' s moral character . the result ? richardson ' s novel , especially the second volume , is didactic ; the book attempts to teach its readers . pamela is offered to readers as an example of virtue because she is chaste and obedient to her family and god .\nbesides the consumer culture , which grew up around pamela , there was the development of advertisement . due to new printing methods a much larger number of pamphlets and posters could be given to the consumers , shops and published on advertising pillars . newspapers were produced and sold in much larger numbers , as well . of course , these new ways of attracting consumers were also used not only for the advertisement of the new editions of pamela , but also for merchandise products .\nseveral encomiums on a series of familiar letters , publish\u2019d but last month , entitled pamela or virtue rewarded , came too for this magazine , and we believe there will be little occasion for inserting them in our next ; because a second edition will then come out to supply the demands in the country , it being judged in town as great a sign of want of curiosity not to have read pamela , as not to have seen the french and italian dancers . 30\npamela departs the lincolnshire estate , though not in so happy a mood as she had expected . during a stopover at a country inn , she receives another letter from mr . b . in which he avows that further reading in her papers prompts him to request her return to lincolnshire . pamela , having reconsidering , decides to trust him and complies . upon her return , they discuss the likely social fallout from a marriage between a squire and a serving - maid ; undeterred , they enter on their engagement . pamela then tells mr . b . the story of the gypsy fortune - teller , and he admits to having considered perpetrating a sham - marriage but says that he thought the better of it .\none day the squire proposes to give pamela\u2019s parents fifty guineas a year if she pledges to marry the rev . arthur williams , the squire\u2019s chaplain at lincolnshire . ( the proposal is , of course , a ploy to keep her within reach . ) when pamela refuses the offer , he decrees that she may return home the next morning and will order a carriage to await her . as she prepares to leave , mrs . jervis gives her five guineas from the master .\npamela tries to escape on her own by scaling the wall on the estate , but she falls and suffers injuries to her shins and an ankle . maids have to carry her back to the house , where she is bedridden while recuperating .\nmr . b . , who has intercepted and read all of the correspondence between pamela and her parents , writes to mr . and mrs . andrews with a consoling but phony explanation for her failing to appear in their village as planned . mr . andrews sees through the ruse and approaches the bedfordshire estate , bewailing the disappearance of his daughter , but to no avail . meanwhile , pamela has arrived in lincolnshire , where the crude and malignant housekeeper mrs . jewkes watches her every move .\nwhen a group of thieves attacks mr . williams on the road and searches his pockets for papers , pamela becomes concerned that mr . b . sent them to steal her letters , which the clergyman was carrying . the incident prompts her to make her first escape attempt , but her own nerves prevent her even from making it across the garden . soon a further impediment appears in the person of monsieur colbrand , a hideous swiss man whom mr . b . has sent to guard pamela .\neven after this period of approximately ten years there were more pieces of works published concerned with the original novel , but the first written novels reflect the fact that there was a huge response and a massive demand in public of everything concerning pamela .\npamela andrews is a pious , innocent 15 - year - old who works as lady b ' s maidservant in bedfordshire . the novel starts after lady b has died , when her son , the squire mr . b , begins to pay pamela more attention , first giving her his mother ' s clothes , then trying to seduce her in the summer house . when he wants to pay her to keep the attempt secret , she refuses and tells mrs . jervis , the housekeeper , her best friend at the house . undaunted , he hides in her closet and pops out and tries to kiss her as she undresses for bed . pamela debates returning to her impoverished parents to preserve her innocence , but still can ' t decide .\nthat same evening , mr . b . goes to attend a dying acquaintance . by the next morning , he has not returned , so pamela is alone when his sister , lady davers , arrives to browbeat the squire and his beloved , whom she does not know to be married . lady davers badgers and insults pamela at some length , detaining her against her will with the help of a nephew and a waiting - maid . finally , pamela escapes through a window and , with the help of her new allies mrs . jewkes and monsieur colbrand , makes it to the home of sir simon darnford , where mr . b . and the neighbors are expecting her . there she regales the company with the tale of her experience with lady davers .\nthe first poem published was written by aaron hill and appeared first in the second edition of pamela on the 14 th february in 1741 . afterwards , this poem was also published in the newspaper weekly miscellany on the 28 th of february in 1740 .\nthis poem shows in all clarity that firstly there are two extremes , the pamelists and the anti - pamelists , arguing with each other in public . secondly it shows that the topics raised in pamela are controversial in society and therefore of public interest .\nthe reactions to the novel included a certain desire for seeing the face of pamela and other characters of the book . the readers could not wait to see her face and so paintings and engravings turned into yet another part of the overall multi - media event which went with the publication of the adaptations and the following editions of the original book . pamela was painted in different stations of her life and many motives were repeated or modified by different artists . there appeared to be a competition between them .\nnewspapers as a medium clearly played a role of extraordinary importance for this multi - media event . by using the widely spread press , pamela , or virtue rewarded was kept in the focus of interest and controversial discussion for a long period of time .\nalso , we have seen the merchandising strategies that included different sorts of editions , merchandise products and advertisements . here it is worth mentioning that the demand for such articles clearly shows the desire of the public to identify oneself with pamela and her morality .\nin between the publications of the fifth and sixth edition there were two more events of importance . on october 23 rd 1741 an authorized french translation with a total of 1500 copies appeared . these translations were used nationwide as course books at school . 17 another interesting point concerning the different editions is the publication of the octavo edition on may eighth 1742 . an updated edition of pamela was for the first time simultaneously published with an edition of the continuation of pamela and 29 engravings by gravelot and hayman were attached . 18\nso , there is still a fair amount of conflict going on here , but this section of the book is really about pamela settling down into married life and dealing with the fallout of her class elevation\u2014and that ' s falling action if we ever saw it ."]}

the region was divided into three subdivisions , each headed by an officer from the neighbouring government of assam .\nwith the accession of manipur to india in 1947 , the political agency exercised by assam was abolished . two years later manipur became a union territory governed by a chief commissioner and an elected territorial council . in 1969 the office of chief commissioner was replaced by that of lieutenant governor , whose status was changed to governor when manipur became a constituent state of the indian union on july 21 , 1972 .\nmanipur \u2014a hindu princely state to the northwest of myanmar ( now in india ) that had been subjugated in 1560\u2014declared itself independent , and ayutthaya also regained its independence . toungoo , joined by forces from the rakhine ( arakan ) region , proceeded to ravage bago . when the portuguese subsequently founded a\u2026\nhe conquered assam and manipur , making them myanmar tributaries . the border with british india thus extended from arakan on the bay of bengal northward to the foot of the himalayan mountains . the british , angered over myanmar border raids in pursuit of rebel forces , launched a war on march 5 , \u2026\nindia , country that occupies the greater part of south asia . it is a constitutional republic consisting of 29 states , each with a substantial degree of control over its own affairs ;

[ . . . ] i had no idea that he would prove so popular that he would eventually take over the entire series , and later we would be stuck with that silly name !\ncharlier and giraud continued to add to the legend of mike blueberry in pilote and other titles even into the 1990s . during that time the artistic style has varied greatly , much as with giraud ' s other works . in the same volume , sweeping landscapes will contrast sharply with hard - edged action scenes and the art matches the changing mood of the story quite well . like much of the western genre , blueberry touches on the constant conflict between violence and tranquility , nature and civilization , and the obligation of the strong to protect the weak .\nafter charlier ' s death , giraud wrote and drew five albums , from mister blueberry to dust , until his own death in 2012 .\n) resulting into all kinds of formats and quality\u2014from b / w , american comic book sized budget collections to full color european style albums with many extras . since 1993 no blueberry comics have been published in english . moebius painted new covers for the epic line of blueberry . actually this was the first time blueberry was published under giraud ' s\n, the translator of the books wrote :\nthis is quite ironic because giraud first coined the ' moebius ' pseudonym precisely because he wanted to keep his two bodies of

competed for higher level positions and made in roads , as music makers of individual merit and popularity . each one\u2019s music could be identified by a kind of trade mark that sweetened their compositions and helped them get firmly rooted to the ground . similarly , each one had the sum and substance of musical richness that retained their career undeterred . this article looks upon them with esteem and special recognition .\nt . r papa who entered tamil film music almost at the time of g . ramanathan , was known by his music direction of films of sivaji ganesan such as anbu , raja rani , rangoon radha and kuravanji . the two mgr films for which he composed music were nallavan vaazhvaan and thaai magalukku kattia thaali . his two gemini ganesan movies were aasai and mallika . apart from malliga he was the music composer for a few other films of the citadel pictures house like vijayapuri veeran , iravum pagalum and kaadhal paduthum paadu . his music greatly helped the success of rambaiyin kaadhal in which k . a . thangavelu played the hero . songs like \u2018samarasam ulaavum\u2019 and \u2018baghavaane mounam aeno\u2019from sirkazhi govinda - rajan\u2019s scintillating voice are life time melodies . the movie kumara raja which had the most popular song of j . b . chandrababu \u2018onnume puriyala ulagathula\u2019 owes its remembrance to the lovable music of t . r . papa . his other immortally popular songs are from nallavan vaazhvaan . similarly , songs like iravum varum pagalum varum , ullathin kadhavugal kangalada , { both sung by tms } ullathile uram venumada [ a . m . raja } and \u2018iraivan enroru kavignan\u2019 { sung by sp . balasubramanyam from aein } made his contribution memorable . t . r . papa continued to compose music for films of the nineteen seventies like teecharamma , aein , maru - piravi , vairam and avasara kalyaanam . a few other lasting tunes of t . r . papa are \u2018aasai pongum\u2019 { aasai } ' varuvein naan unadhu maaligaiyin vaasalukke\u2019 { mallika } \u2019nee sollaavidil yaar solluvaar nilave\u2019 { kuravanji } .\ns . m . subbaiah naidu , the other early contemporary of g . ramanathan , started his musical career with the mgr films abimanyu , mohini raajakumaari and marmayogi . his later works for mgr films include films like malaikallan , nadodi mannan , thrudaathe , aasai mugam and thaayin madiyil . some of his most exciting songs from this list of films are \u2018ethanai kaalam dhaan yematruvaar indha naattile\u2019 \u2018kannil vandhu minnal poel\u2019 \u2018thoongaadhethambi thoongaathe\u2019\u2019thirudaathe papa thirudathe\u2019 and \u2018ethanai periya manidhanukku ethanai siriya manmirukku\u2019 three of his well known sivaji ganesan films were annaiyin aanai , maragatham and kalyaniyin kanavan , the songs \u2018annaiyai poel oru dheivamillai\u2019 ' vaazhvinile vaazhvinile ' became instant hits . some of his other films that need a special mention are velaikkaari , thigambara saamiyaar , thirumanam , nalla theerpu , konjum salangai , pandhayam , mannippu , naalum therindhavan , panakkaara pillai and aindhu latcham . the song\u2018nee enge en ninaivugal ange \u2018 from mannippu will ever remain as one of his most powerful musical pieces . sms as he was briefly called in film circles is specially known for his singularly striking use of percussion instruments .\nanother noted music composer of this period was t . g . lingappa who was closer to b . r . pantulu and directed music for the latter\u2019s earlier movies like kalyaanam panniyum brammachaari , thangamalai ragasiam , sabash meena and muradan muthu . his other sivaji ganesan films were , mudhal thedhi , naane raaja and bommai kalyaanam . two other films for which lingappa composed music were , s . , s . rajendran\u2019s sangilithevan and gemini ganesan\u2019s\u2019 ellorum innaattu mannar . p . suseela\u2019s ' amudhai pozhiyum nilave\u2019 from thangamalai ragasiyam , ' kaanaa inbam kanindhadhenoe\u2019 from sabash meena and \u2018thingal urangidum nerathilum\u2019 from sangilithevan are enough to perpetuate the memory of this great music composer .\nghantasala has found a special place in tamil cinema not only by his vocal contribution but also by his most soothing musical composition . he has enriched films like , devadas , paataala bhairavi , tenali raman , anaarkali , lila majnu , maayaa bazaar , engal veettu mahalakshmi and anbu sagodharargal by his beautiful musical capability . in his music one could experience a soul sustaining process of peace and happiness . it would be like listening to the songs of a mukesh or magendra kaboor or mannade of the hindi film music world . it is always a pleasure to listen to ghantasala\u2019s music at bed time for a peaceful sleep without any onslaught of nightmarish dreams . same is the case with a . m . raja who composed music for a few tamil films like kalyana parisu , vidi velli , thein nilavu and adi perukku . eternal melodies are the extraordinary legacy of these two men . there were a few other telugu musicians like s . rajeswara rao { missiamma , madharkula manickam } t . chelapathi rao { amaradeepam , meenda sorgam and punar jenmam } and aadhi narayana rao { adutha veettupen and manalane mangaiyin bagyam } whose musical work in tamil cinema is limited but great .\nr . sudharsanam the other famous face of tamil film music has to his credit \u2018parasakthi\u2019 the first film of sivaji ganesan followed by other wonderful films like rathakanneer , kuladheivam , sellapillai , thilagam , sagodhari , dheivapiravi , kalathur kannamma , annai , naanum oru penn , anbukkarangal and kaakkum karangal . songs like \u2018nenju porukku dhillaiye\u2019\u2018kutram purindhavan\u2019 \u2018 anbaale thediya en arivu selvam\u2019 { all in the unique voice of c . s . jeyaraman } ' kangalin vaarthaikal ' { a . m . raja and p . suseela } ' annai enbaval needhaanaa ' { p . banumathi } ' kannaa karumai nira kannaa\u2019 { p . suseela } ' kagidhathil kappal seidhu ' { tms } and ' allithandu kaalgaleduthu ' { tms and p . suseela } carry the charm of his distinct musical thrust .\namong the late entrants , v . kumar became the chosen music director of k . balachander for many of his films and his prolific contribution of melodies supported by the use of limited musical instruments , added to the strength of k . b ' s quality - oriented films . films like naanal { kuyil koovi thuyil ezhuppa , by soolamangalam rajalakshmi } , velli vizha { kaadhoedudhaan naan peisuvein by l . r . eswari } edhir neechal { thaamarai kannangal by pb srinivas and p . suseela } nootrukku nooru { naan unnai vazhthi paadugirein by p . suseela } neerkumizhi { aadi adangum vaazhkai yada , by sirkazhi govindarajan } major chandrakanth { oru naal yaaroe , by p . suseela } and iru kodugal { punnagai mannan poovizhi kannan , by p . suseela and jamuna raani } will refresh nostalgic memories of many a worthy movie of k . balachander . i have mentioned only some movies here . besides kala kendra films , kumar has also worked for a few muktha pictures\u2019 films like niraikudam and bommalaattam { nalla naaal paarkavoe , by tms and p . suseela } . his other films include panakkaara penn , veguli penn { the famous tms song engellaam valai osai keitkinradhoe } and thein sindhudhe vaanam . none of the songs of kumar would create a jarring note and the soothing combination of vocal and instrumental components of music has always been the trade mark of kumar .\nif v . kumar remained the favourite of k . balachander , the duo shankar ganesh were the regular music composers for the dhandayudhabaani pictures of devar film circuit . films like magarasi , akka thangai , aattukkara alamelu , sorgam naragam , vellikizhamai viradham , ranga , thaai veedu , thaayillaamal naanillai , komadha en kulamadha and adhisiappiravigal for which the duo composed music were from the devar production house . . besides , they have the proud position of composing music for mgr films like idhaya veenai and naan yen pirandhein . for the avm banner they have worked for the film samsaaram adhu minsaaram . they have also been associated with the sujatha cine arts ' films like mangamma sabatham , vidhi , billa etc . their other popular movies are neeyaa , darling darling darling , kanni paruvathile and vandi chakkaram . if v . kumar tried to bring out the voice mould and efficacy of the singers sankar ganesh believed more in the instrumental wield over songs and their musical tuning . chandrabose , the other well - known music director of this period , had his merit and talent recognized by the avm banner by composing music for the two most successful rajinikanth films manithan and raja chinna roja , besides being the music director for rajini ' s earlier film mangudi minor . he has also composed music for two other avm films like sankar guru , and maanagarakkaaval . he carries the pride of making music for the national award winning film pudhiya paadhai and the sathyaraj entertainer anna nagar mudhal theru . what is very special about chandrabose music is his high level of lyrical clarity and optimum instrumental thrust . he has given us many hits like ' kaala kaala ' as well as the title song from manithan , ' super starru yarunnu ketta ' from raja sinna roja and ' medhuva meduvaa oru kaadhal paattu ' from anna nagar mudhal theru\nbesides these musicians , the violin maestro kunnakkudi vaidhiyanathan has also joined the wagon of music directors once a way by directing music for a . p . nagarajan\u2019s films like thirumalai thenkumari , kaaraikkal ammaiyaar , raja raja cholan and mel naattu maru magal . similarly the devar films unit also had the privilege of availing the musical support of vaidhiyanathan for their films dheivam and thiruvarul . all these films either had a spiritual theme or a carnatic base . with his profound understanding of traditional music , vaidhyanathan could substantially enrich the musical component of the films mentioned above . like kunnakkudi vaidhyanathan , soolamangalam rajalakshmi the noted carnatic singer also composed music for films like karpooram , dharisanam , magizhampoo , manam oru kurangu , and jeevanaadi . the songs from karpooram and dharisanam deserve a special place for quality stuff music .\nwhile all these music directors made tamil cinema reach higher positions in creativity and entertainment , some have been acknowledged more than the others or some have not been given their due recognition . the objective of this article is to reasonably record their service and respect them with a sense of gratitude and appreciation . = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 0 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =\nit is a known fact that quite a few tamil actors here and there take a fancy for directing films once a way . but very rarely did directors show much interest in acting at least till the middle of nineteen eighties . for quite long , without the facility of television channels , very little opportunity was there even to see the photos of highly esteemed directors like a . bhimsingh , a . c . thirulokchander ,\np . madhavan , k . s . gopala krishnan , k . balachander , balu mahendra , j . mahendran , p . neelakandan and s . p . muthu raman . it was a . p . nagarajan who first appeared as poet nakkeeran in his most popular film thiruvilaiyaadal and made an eternal mark by his clear and chaste delivery of tamil dialogues . then directors like k . vijayan began to appear at least in a single scene of their films . new age spokesman barathiraja too has acted in a couple of films . chitra lakshmanan who served as assitant director of barathiraja , became a regular actor playing character and comedy roles , of course , simultaneously directing films like kamal ' s soorasamhaaram and prabu ' s periya thambi . same is the case with director ramesh kanna who is now more known as a comedian than film director .\nit was t . rajender who after giving his mega hit movie oruthalai raagam in the mid seventies , began to seriously try acting , first in character roles and then as hero in a few movies . tamil film viewers can never forget his sterling performance as the elder brother of heroines in films like thangaikkor geedham and . en thangai kalyani . as a hero he was impressive in mythili ennai kaadhali and samsaara sangeedham . his other popular movies were oru thaayin sabadham sonnaaldhaan kaadhalaa , kaadhal azhivadhillai and veerasaamy . what made t . rajender from the other film makers was his constantly valid sentimental themes and the emotionally intense depiction of scenes and characters in all his movies . quite often melodramatic outbursts would make his narration and acting very appealing to the viewers . his tamil specially known for its thrust on alliteration in framing dialogues placed him on a distinct pedestal as a film maker . his lyrics and music composition have never failed to create the intended emotional impact on the audience . t . rajender could be called a pioneer among directors turning to acting , without losing his grip in the manifold management of film making involving multifarious tasks like direction , acting , music composition , dialogues and lyrics writing , singing , dancing and fighting . he can be called the grand master of film making .\nfrom the nineteen eighties onward , many film directors vigorously looked upon the tinsel world with a passion for acting . while some have been doing a successful round as character actors , a few of them have played hero roles with zeal and conviction , to the extent of casting indelible impressions on the mind of the audience , by creating an exclusive space for themselves on the big screen . sometamil film directors occupy distinguished positions in this regard .\nk . bagyaraj and r . parthiban , who began to direct themselves as heroes created some box office hits . tamil film audience owe a lot to these two men of meritorious talent , for unfolding an awesome evolution of creativity in celluloid form . both these men are intelligent performers with ripeness of imagination and right understanding of reality and fiction . as actors , they have excellently brought out the intrinsic layers of ideas and emotions perfectly channelized in the right form , to win the audience mood . it is their sharpness of understanding the right themes and story lines of appealing under - currents , that enabled them to create waves among the movie goers , and project them as the right type of film makers and actors . the audience earnestly loved to watch the pranks and mischievous deliberations of bagyaraj and parthiban whose focus on dialogues was not only inventive but also thought provoking . both have consistently reflected their avowed preference for the humour track for a valued journey of thoughts and emotions towards an enlightening destination . while bagyaraj has attracted everyone by his innate geniality , parthiban has become closer by his sharpness and witticism . the best of bagyaraj are films like mouna geedhangal , andha ezhu naatkal , darling darling darling and mudhaanai mudichu . parthiban has to his credit films such as pudhiya paadhai , housefull , barathi kannamma and kaakkai chraginile . despite this restrictive listing one could very well say that as actors , both of them have never failed to entertain the audience by their common sense and

and with that discovers a new found connection to the world .\n. . . and now for\na boy and his dog\n, just to round things out .\nmadison mega - mara . . . : # 14 the inquisitor ' s tale by adam gidwitz\ndog explores eden alone curiously exploring creatures and plant life alike . he then meets a creature that approaches and bonds with him - he meets adam . they venture together through this paradise inseparably until an indirect threat to their bond emerges : eve . with this new arrival , dog struggles to keep their connection close despite distance , hardships , and unspoken emotions leading to whatever end . he will not fail to be adam ' s best friend .\nin the u . s . , a country founded on religious faith , we like stories about righteous characters with well - defined moral values operating within clearly delineated paths of good versus evil , of right and wrong . enter minkyu lee and his oscar nominated film , adam and dog , a film about the first days of creation in the garden of eden and how dog befriended and became inseparable from adam . a beautiful , traditionally animated 2d film , adam and dog delves into the most fundamental biblical themes in subtle , gentle tones . i recently had a chance to talk to minkyu about the making of his film , the challenges of both directing and producing at the same time and his thoughts on how people will view the religious foundation of the story .\nin semi - alternating chapters , the narrative voice switches from the somewhat detached third - person ( adam\u2019s chapters ) to a more natural first - person ( the dog\u2019s ) , and readers are treated to the humble story of a pit bull ( aptly named chance ) redeemed . once a fighter in a dog ring , chance gleefully embraces his brief stretch of freedom as a street hound ( delectable smells abound ! other dogs\u2019 crotches to sniff ! poles to pee on everywhere ! ) before suddenly being recaptured and sent to the pound . when adam rescues chance from certain death as a favor to one of the homeless shelter\u2019s regulars , adam\u2019s and the dog\u2019s fates are irrevocably intertwined . and thank goodness for that .\ndog walks eden . then one day he meets a strange creature , adam . side by side , they spend their days in the flourishing garden , and become inseparable companions - until a new creature arrives : eve . after meeting this new companion , who is similar to him , adam neglects dog . but after the fall of man , when the two humans must leave the garden , he consorts with them into the realm of hardship .\nwe\u2019d love your help . let us know what\u2019s wrong with this preview of the inquisitor ' s tale by adam gidwitz .\n\u201csometimes , it turns out , the most important decisions in life are made by your dog . \u201d\nin the enchanting and delightful garden of eden , a solitary dog wanders the unspoiled landscape inconspicuously . and then , unexpectedly , the little dog encounters god ' s newest creation , the human adam , and intrigued , interacts with him and soon befriends him . however , as the two companions explore the wonders of the magnificent and lush garden , the red - haired eve is introduced to this world , disrupting the fine balance of things .\ninstead of giving chance back to the pound like he had planned , adam begrudgingly keeps him . the more he communes with the dog , the kinder and more generous a person he becomes . soon , he ' s turning over all sorts of new leaves in an attempt to become\na better person .\ndespite a sometimes predictable and tidy plotline , one good dog is rewarding - - - and that ' s mostly thanks to chance . readers ( especially fans of marley & me ) will adore his spunky personality and root for his ( and ultimately adam ' s ) rehabilitation . in the end , wilson ' s uncanny channeling of this scrappy misunderstood dog with a heart of gold strikes just the right chord to overshadow any of the book ' s shortcomings .\n' adam and dog ' took me by complete surprise . i had heard and seen very little about the short film on the internet . the parts i had seen were simply short clips or conceptual drawings of various vistas and maybe one or two pictures of adam or of dog . all of these had piqued my interest , but i ended up forgetting about the film . . . . . . until now . once it was released , my anticipation grew again , and i finally managed to see it . i was completely blown away . the sheer amount of emotion and beauty that you find in this film is breathtaking . minkyu lee and his team of animators sidestep the usual difficulties of animation and have created something so effective , it feels like something disney could have made . the story is simply , which is why it works on so many levels . the animation is spectacular and beautiful . there is nothing that takes you out of the world that ' s created by the film . everything has a purpose and a drive , and you can feel that when you watch it . so , if you haven ' t seen ' adam and dog ' yet , buy it and watch it immediately .\nlet\u2019s change subjects . dog is man ' s best friend . i think the people\u2019s love for dogs is pretty ubiquitous in every culture . wherever there are people there are dogs . the variety of dogs you find today is tremendous . you chose to use a fairly non - descript , simple dog\u2026\nml : that\u2019s a really good a question as well . i tried different types of dogs in the beginning . i thought , maybe it\u2019s a great dane , maybe it\u2019s a german shepherd or a saint bernard . but here\u2019s the reason why i chose a black mutt , kind of a scrawny , in my mind , a dumpster dog . when i think of eden , i think of adam experiencing all the animals , like i show in the film , peacocks and butterflies , beautiful , magnificent , wondrous looking animals . compared to the other animals , i wanted the dog to look like a bland creature . nothing in terms of the color , nothing that wows in terms of the fur , nothing really majestic about it . i wanted to show what makes us close to dogs isn\u2019t really the appearance of the dog , even though these days some dogs look really , really cool . i thought it would be interesting to show that all our beautiful dogs of today came from this scrawny mutt . this black dumpster dog if you will . it wasn\u2019t about this dog being a beautiful creature itself , but what was inside the dog that created all these beautiful creatures .\nwe are so happy that adam and dog will get to be in front of such a wide audience . it is screening all across america , so if you had been wanting to see our little film on the big screen , there couldn\u2019t be a better chance ! especially because it is screening with its fellow nominees for the category , you get to see a bunch of great short films .\ni absolutely loved this book . i like how the story is never told by the main characters themselves . this book had a lot of action . adam gidwitz made this story seem longer than it actually is .\nthis is a rough animation test done by jennifer hager , from a scene that was edited out of the film . jen brought so much knowledge of dog movement to the film . enjoy !\nwhy ? aside from being the to - be president and ceo of a gigantically corporate cosmetic firm , 46 - year - old adam march is arrogant , intolerant and selfish . he only eats fancy granola imported from norway . and he has willingly married a vapid social climber obsessed with \u201cbeing seen\u201d and \u201csupporting the right charities\u201d while flitting between one of their three houses equipped with countless underpaid servants , driving the \u201cbest and most current automobiles - - - gas be damned , \u201d and wearing the most \u201cfashion - forward clothes and legitimate designer accessories\u201d on the racks . but these grating qualities can all be attributed to adam before his nervous breakdown and subsequent downfall ( he physically attacks his secretary for being insubordinate , gets fired and loses everything ) . after that ? if you can stomach it , mr . march actually gets even more loathsome .\ndiscover and share new music , movies , tv , books , and more .\nduncan the wonder dog is a very ambitious editorial project : nine volumes , 2600 pages to be completed in the next 25 years . in comics the only similar editorial projects that come to my mind are cerebus by dave sim and age of bronze by eric shanower : have you already planned the overall plot of all the other 8 volumes of duncan the wonder dog ? in the meantime are you going to draw something else in the years to come ?\nfollow us @ itunes and discover new itunes radio stations and the music we love .\nthere was a time when vic edwards ( burt reynolds ) was the toast of tinseltown \u2014 handsome , talented and a top box -

fictional ( though the narrator does inject himself into the story ) . it is , instead , much more philosophical and delves into matters of faith and friendship and morality and mortality . gidwitz never shies away from the darker , more brutal aspects of humanity , but they are deftly balanced with grace and beauty and innocence . this is a book both sacred and profane ; it will make you laugh and think and probably cry a little . it is a reading experience well worth having and may even make you believe in miracles .\nset in france in 1242 and told in the style of medieval travel tales , the inquisitor ' s tale follows three children who are either heretics or saints , depending on how one views their accomplishments . jeanne , a peasant girl , has\nfits\nand sees visions of the future . william , son of an african mother and french crusader father , is both exceptionally bright as well as big and strong . jacob , a jewish boy , can heal with plants and prayers . along with the saintly dog gwenforte , these three children t\nan exciting and hilarious medieval adventure from the bestselling author of a tale dark and grimm . 1242 . on a dark night , travelers from across france cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children . their adventures take them on a chase through france : they are taken captive by knights , sit alongside a king , and save the land from a farting dragon . on the run to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned , their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at mont saint -

- if readers are prone or prodded to think about it - - our own times as well . probably more a classroom than an under - the - covers - after - lights out book , though . nicely done audio by an ensemble cast .\nokay . three children with magical powers going on an adventure with a dog . nothing special , to be honest . they ' re definitely gonna end up saving the world or something heroic like that . wrong . rather than telling it ' s readers about predictable , overtold adventures , this book tells more about religion , persecution , prejudice , and farting dragons . especially the last one . i really enjoyed reading adam gidwitz ' s\nthe inquisitor ' s tale\n. not only because it was informative ( in a way ) , but also because it was so funny . evidently , the author spent a long time researching different topics in order to write this book . his story telling skills are astounding . i highly recommend this book .\nwhy do you mix different drawing styles in the same page , for example cartoonish and simple sketches for characters vs . photorealistic and accurate drawings for the landscapes and the backgrounds , and why do you use very often graphic collage with every kind of items ?\nto review : we have a dog that ' s been resurrected , a peasant girl who sees the future , a supernaturally strong oblate , and a jewish boy with the power of miraculous healing .\nthe children almost laughed in the silence that followed . when you put it that way , it sounded rather insane . that pretty much sums it up - three children and a dog go on a grand adventure in an attempt to stop a massive book burning . i doubt there are few goodreads members who would not champion their cause . though not as funny as his grimm series , gidwitz does a masterful job of mixing fact , legend , and fantasy . this is probably the last novel i ' ll finish this year , and i ' m happy to say it was one of the best .\nwhether you go your separate ways or stay together , you will continue to witness - - against ignorance , against cruelty , and on behalf of all that is beautiful about this strange and crooked world .\nwhat ' s left for a former megastar but to hit the bottle and hit the road . the majority of dog years sees vic commandeering lil and her car for a drive through old haunts . it ' s here that rifkin ' s film reveals itself as its own low - rent simulation \u2014 of ingmar bergman ' s wild strawberries , with reynolds in the victor sj\u00f6str\u00f6m role of a bitter old man grappling with his past , and winter as the irritated traveling companion who eventually learns to love the gray - haired grouch .\nare you going to use the same drawing style of the first volume also for the other eight books of duncan the wonder dog or are you considering some changes in it ? it will largely be the same . probably identical , really . so , uh , if anyone out there didnt like the first one and was thinking of giving the second another go , you most likely shouldn\u2019t bother .\nin a recent interview in the horn book , adam gidwitz talks about his teaching days as being filled with\nserious fun\n- - i love that concept . yes , kids love having fun , laughing , sharing silly or gross stories . they also love to dig into serious topics and want us adults to ask for their opinions . gidwitz has legions of fans for his exciting , engrossing retellings of grimm ' s tales . in his newest book , he tackles medieval life , religious intolerance and the power of deep loyal friendship - - all with\nadam gidwitz is the christopher moore of middle grade fiction . not the moore of the lust lizard of melancholy cove or bloodsucking fiends , but the moore of lamb and fool \u2014funny , irreverent , not above a good fart joke , and way more intelligent than you would gather from a casual read . the inquisitor ' s tale is maybe not as broadly humorous as his grimm tales ( though it is certainly not lacking in humor ) nor is it as meta - fictional ( though the narrator does inject himself into the story ) . it is , ins\nit felt garish to put my name on it ; the project is enough of an affectation , i don\u00ect need to compound the vanity . and the nine circles will be the consistent emblem of the book ; i like how it looks , and it felt right . my design sensibilities and layout choices are all , in the end , gut - check stuff . i move things around and take things out and put things in and change the textures and switch things around until i can look at it and immediately get the feel of what i\u2019m going after .\nmy entry for the white ravens 2017 list : part fantasy , part historical fiction , part superhero tale\u2014with generous dashes of humor\u2014this book unfolds much like the canterbury tales , through stories the inquisitor teases out of individuals of diverse stations in life who are patronizing a countryside inn in medieval france . their stories each contribute a piece to unlocking the mystery of why the king of france has declared war on three children and a dog . each child has a special something\u2014prophetic visions ( the peasant girl jeanne ) , extraordinary strength ( the dark - skinned , learned , very large oblate william ) , the power to heal ( the slight , thoughtful jewish boy jacob\u2014and the dog , once dead , is again alive . central to their story are issues of class intolerances , anti - semitism , censorship , commonsense and formal learning , talmudic and biblical wisdom , and the value of books to civilization . all of this is crafted by gidwitz in a way that thoroughly engages child readers in a tale that is as contemporary as it is traditional . ( age : 9 + )\nduncan the wonder dog starts with a prologue / prelude about ideas like the real nature of mathematics , the purpose of the art and the meaning of \u201cgood\u201d according to the greek philosopher pythagoras ( who was also vegetarian , by the way ) . then we see a brief fairy tale which serves to introduce the hinduist / buddhist concept of \u201cdharma\u201d : can you better explain to us which role do these ideas have in your story ?\nvisually speaking duncan the wonder dog seems to me to be influenced by the works of chris ware ( building stories , acme novelty library ) , dave mckean ( cages , mr . punch ) and bill sienkiewicz ( stray toasters , big numbers ) : do you agree with this ? are there living artists / illustrators / comic creators or artists / illustrators / comic creators of the past who are a source of inspiration for your drawings ?\nset in france in 1242 and told in the style of medieval travel tales , the inquisitor ' s tale follows three children who are either heretics or saints , depending on how one views their accomplishments . jeanne , a peasant girl , has\nfits\nand sees visions of the future . william , son of an african mother and french crusader father , is both exceptionally bright as well as big and strong . jacob , a jewish boy , can heal with plants and prayers . along with the saintly dog gwenforte , these three children travel across france . at first they are running for their lives , later on they are trying to save the wisdom of the ages . this brilliant story is both action - packed and introspective , making readers consider their lives and biases today through the lense of the middle ages . highly recommended for grades 5 and up . it includes an excellent author ' s note as well , explaining which bits are actual history . arc provided by publisher .\nin 1990 , when i was about six , my family adopted a small , mixed - breed dog we summarily named duncan due to his close resemblance to a small piece of chocolate cake . even as a puppy , he was very intelligent , kind of detached , but still very loving . i was immediately enamored with him . not one month later , my father and i were walking through what i believe had to have been a section of the chicago pedway past a tiny comics stand , and \u2013 infatuated with tim burtons recent\nthe book originally came out darker than i would have wanted , but subsequent printings i thought struck the right balance . i\u2019ve heard complaints also that the text is too small . and maybe when i\u2019m older and my glasses are thicker i\u2019ll regret these decisions , but for now i\u2019m fine and happy with how it reads . and i always drew the book in black and white since i was a kid , and i like , if anything , the consistency of that .\nmy entry for the white ravens 2017 list : part fantasy , part historical fiction , part superhero tale\u2014with generous dashes of humor\u2014this book unfolds much like the canterbury tales , through stories the inquisitor teases out of individuals of diverse stations in life who are patronizing a countryside inn in medieval france . their stories each contribute a piece to unlocking the mystery of why the king of france has declared war on three children and a dog . each child has a special something\u2014propheti\ndan sarto is editor -

michel . all three are gifted , and at times cursed , as saints . the miracles they perform are often as seen as heresy . while they run from the prejudice of their families and fellow villagers , the king sends knights after them so they can be prosecuted . i had a bit of trouble with the telling of this story . there were some parts that were humorous and age appropriate and some that were quite violent and overly graphic . the language was sometimes immature and silly and did not reflect the time period or content of the story .\nto be violent , ever , and yet we are , and against each other , and frequently , so the gratuitousness of it must place it lower on the morally justifiable spectrum . but it\u2019s almost pointless to compare , because animals would surely have very different moral compasses as their realities and the priorities those realities dictate are so radically different . however , pompeii uses political violence , so it\u2019s as tainted as our own violence , i would think , and much the same .\nitunes is the world ' s easiest way to organize and add to your digital media collection .\nanthropomorphism is impossible to avoid , but i try to mitigate it by having scenes peppered throughout depicting animals doing inscrutable things , things that we would find completely insane if we witnessed a human being doing the same . i use these to try and have jabbing reminders that animals live with codes of conduct and points of reference entirely apart from our ways of experience \u2013 and each animals entirely apart from each other \u2013 and that its foolish for me to try and speak for them .\nprobably the best book i ' ve read this year . it ' s sort of a medieval fellowship of the ring where the group is three kids ( a girl & two boys , one a jewish healer and the other a very tall , strong biracial monk ) & a miracle -

- feeling often as they do , that no one understands them except for their loyal friends . just as importantly , children will be drawn into this story where young heroes decide to take a stand for what ' s right , fighting against ignorance and intolerance , proclaiming that collaboration and friendship is not only possible across social groups but thrives among different social groups . society is still struggling with these very issues today .\non 8 . 5 x 11 inch copy paper and stapled them together when i was finished , and changing the format would have been asking for misfortune , like washing your jersey on the day of the big game .\nthis is a tough book to review . i personally loved it . . . it flowed quickly , had great voice , characters and character . . . had a nice ending . . . made a few turns that even surprised me . . . had some great research behind it . . . 5 stars for me . . . and my fellow librarians and youth reviewers . . . now for students . . . there ' s a good solid half i think kids will enjoy . . . there ' s another quarter they will make it through . . . however i am not sure what type of students will complete this entire book . . . it is deep , at times satirical , at times wholly gross and the history is certainly not pleasant often . . . so a great book . . . critics will love . . . but how do we get students on board . . . that will be my question . . . can ' t wait to see the illustrations that are mostly not present in this ala arc i had adam sign . . . and i am still hoping some year for a quality color printing . . . this book is in many ways reminiscent at least for 3 / 4 of lin ' s where the mountain meets the moon and that was a beautiful printing !\n. but minkyu has injected his own aesthetic that is even more loose and expressive . you see individual brush strokes and rough edges\u2014the look of a world unfinished . minkyu , who works for disney , made the short with friends from all over the animation industry including disney , dreamworks , and pixar . and yet the short is an independent production made not with the help or sponsorship of any studio but built off the drive and passion of these dedicated storytellers . now they\u2019ve earned the highest honor\u2014an oscar nomination\u2014where they face off against a familiar rival\u2014the official disney -

jeanne , a peasant girl who has visions of the future ; william , a half - african student with super strength ; and jacob , a jewish boy with healing powers . and each diverse role is specifically chosen to explore their role during the middle ages . this book says a lot about modern times while being exclusively set in the 1200s . so , in addition to being a rolicking adventure story with good doses of humor and occasional bloody violence , this is really a philosophy book . there ' s the question of morality - when you know something is right or wrong , where does that knowledge come from ? there ' s the issue of hating people that are different than you are , even people you have never really met , and what that means and what can be done about it . tons of thought and research have obviously gone into this book . man , i love it !\n* * * based on the arc * * * a winsome tale full of humor and adventure that will leave readers asking serious questions about religion and the meaning of it all . while most young readers will not understand the menace behind the\ninquisitor\nin the title , they will take the word at face value . this is a tale told by asking questions . i enjoyed how the story built upon itself in layers with several starts and stops and revisions . it is as much a story about the telling of stories as it is the story its\ni loved this so hard that i didn ' t want it to end ( and that ' s high praise because finishing books and starting new ones is one of my very favorite things ) . the format reads like the canterbury tales with different narrators at a medieval inn trading off and telling the story of three children who are on a mission and who may or may not be saints ( complete with miracles ) . it ' s a diverse group of children -

dial up to 11 with oldboy , his ultraviolent movie of obsession and revenge . it was similar in style and substance to his earlier , equally intestine - curdling thriller , sympathy for mr vengeance , and now lady vengeance repeats the grisly motifs of abduction , imprisonment and retribution - which again originate , interestingly , in the cruelty of school days . it is supposed to complete a\ntrilogy\nof films about revenge , but it could just be the latest in a blood - splattered production line , expanding into a tetralogy or pentalogy : vengeance boy , vengeance dog , vengeance anything . i wouldn ' t put it past park to make them all horrifying , and all unspeakably ingenious .\npark , known for his first korean hit in 2000 , jsa : joint security area , a political thriller also starring the lead of lady vengeance , lee yeong - ae , gives audiences the classic theme of revenge in a scintillating , vividly visceral , three - chapter arc . the director comes from a philosophy background , and it shows : if mr . vengeance is a sanguinary meditation on \u201creason\u201d , oldboy is a glorious epic of \u201cspirit\u201d , and lady vengeance is about satisfying \u201cappetites\u201d . technically , all three films possess plato\u2019s society - mind tripartite , but the sinuous stories within often take their given part beyond the limits and juggle astonishing feats of virtue and vice .\nthree things hold a seceret - lady riding in a dream , the dog who sounds no warning and the maid who does not scream .\n5 . sympathy for lady vengeance ( 2005 ) this 2005 south korean movie tells the story of a woman ' s efforts to seek justice for a crime she did not commit . lee young -

provoking film that i can ' t recommend highly enough . an unreserved 10 out of 10 .\nsympathy for lady vengeance ( and let ' s pretend tartan haven ' t dumped the first half of the title in favour of a snappier designation ) is the third part of park ' s revenge trilogy and , boy , does it show it . while sympathy for mr vengeance was an eye - opening thriller in which your , um , sympathies for the protagonists shifted with astonishing regularity , leading you to question your own morality in places , and oldboy was a taut revenge flick with an intriguing premise , sympathy for lady vengeance wants to be arty and worthy , but disappears up its own arse before , ultimately , leaving us with a predictable plot and bollocksy conclusion whilst trying to prove its arthouse credentials .\nif sympathy for mr vengeance was a stunning essay on the rights and wrongs on crime to escape from a dire situation , and oldboy a beautiful , stylish treatise on personal revenge , what is sympathy for lady vengeance all about ? well , frankly , bog all . it ' s as flimsy as a piece of tracing paper , really only an excuse for the director to come up with some pretty visuals soundtracked by boring , overloud baroque music .\nwhats there to say ? all 3 films are amazing in their own right , but oldboy probably stands out the most , and for good reason . even in 2018 nothing matches the pure velocity of oldboy . its a revenge tale told right , with plenty of thrills and psychologically broken characters . lady vengeance on the other hand is a wonderfully different piece to stand opposite oldboy . instead of the rough , grimy asthetic , we get a ridiculously composed heroine and a surprisingly subdued revenge tale . if oldboy was all about the consequences of our actions , lady vengeance is a beautiful elegy to end the trilogy .\nthe style of lady vengeance\nconsists of five featurettes that discuss topics from visualization to the cgi used in the film . i ' m really impressed that , like the majority of featurettes in this vengeance box set , they are all fluff free , and there is actually solid information gleaned from watching them . i wish there was a way to play them all at once ( they can only be played individually ) , but that ' s just one small niggle . being an effects fan , the cg was the most interesting as it showed how cgi was subtly incorporated into some of the scenes in lady .\nas much as i enjoyed sympathy for mr . vengeance and oldboy , in particular for the depth they went in exploring the motives of revenge , lady was extraordinarily pleasing in its own right . it still manages to delve into the characters ' inner turmoil \u2014 more so than most other films of this nature \u2014 but is not nearly as emotionally draining as the prior films . in lady , the protagonist and antagonist are crystal clear and knowing who to cheer for makes lady not as heavy as the first two . that doesn ' t mean , however , that anyone would confuse lady ' s style with something like savage streets ( a film which i love ) . oh , no . just because the film is more straightforward , it still is multilayered enough to be more than just a standard revenge flick .\nwhile each film in park chan - wook ' s vengeance trilogy is independent of one another , there is a natural progression of style and tone from one film to the next . sympathy for mr . vengeance is riddle with despair and depression , and is emotionally draining to watch because you feel for every character .\nwith plenty of new polaroid kit on the horizon , it seems that instant photography is back with a vengeance - only this time , it ' s digital .\ni first watched lady vengeance in a stuffy cardiff cinema , where i formed half of the total audience . park\u2019s work felt like it was somehow made for only me , its sole spectator . if more female filmgoers could be provoked by a similar personal encounter , perhaps we could in time become more than a third of film critics .\nin lady vengeance , co - writer / director park chan - wook strays away from the theme of his earlier films of numerous people looking for revenge for their own reasons and instead goes the more traditional route found in films of this nature . in lady ' s case , the protagonist is lee geum - ja ( lee young - ae \u2013 j . s . a . : joint security area ) , a woman recently released from prison and looking to settle a score against the person who put her there .\nthere has been relatively limited coverage of the revenge theme in television . the changes in the forms of media provide fresh opportunities for coverage of the vengeance theme in the 21st century . the contrast between the community approach of law and that of the individual seeker after revenge are formally different , but in the end they both involve elements of vengeance .\nthis is not a box set , it ' s a single case with 4 discs , one for each movie plus special features for lady vengeance and no printed matter . it is a canadian version of amazon ' s kino lorber films 4 disc version which is listed for $ 69 . 98 prime . well worth the $ 32 . 09 with shipping .\npark chan -

wook has made to date , and yet it contains the signature tastes of his most beloved movies . it ' s got the hidden agendas and violent ends of his vengeance trilogy ( sympathy for mr . vengeance , oldboy , and lady vengeance ) . it ' s got the forbidden romance of thirst . it ' s got the twisty , unpredictable dynamics of stoker . and that ' s just scratching the surface . park chan -

25 year olds , it ' s a completely new thing .\nlady vengeance is the perfect finale to a long line of payback ; it\u2019s an extravagant moral play that\u2019s sharper and more satisfying than the kill bill volumes . the personification of \u201cappetite\u201d is so immense that park makes it an omnipresent backdrop on which reason and spirit play out\u2014frequently punctuated by highlights of dark desire : immoderate indulgences of food , sex , money , and death . since platonic standards demand productivity , the heroine , lee geum - ja , makes her living as a gifted pastry chef while collecting the odd favor from ex - fellow inmates she rescued or inspired with religion . lady vengeance isn\u2019t an emotionally effusive picture , but it\u2019s complex in its mix of messages , elements , and characters ( e . g . many actors from the trilogy reappear ; choi min - sik in particular ) and relies heavily on cool , ironic wit to carry it along . the comedy is hilarious , and ventures often into to beckettesque territory\u2014an effect mostly due to the choppy narrative . the tale\u2019s progression of cause and effect is somewhat like that of mr . vengeance , tortuous and set to intrigue , but what\u2019s more fascinating is cho\u2019s music ; it supports all the plastic charm and muted grace of lee\u2019s persona , all the while telling the story of lady vengeance through immaculate compassion . ( again , more anon . )\nlee geum - ja , the film\u2019s vengeful leading lady , is freed after 13 years in prison for a child\u2019s murder . she swiftly snaps into action to track down the man who framed her .\nhq ( stereo ) : urltoken first 3 tracks :\nsympathy for lady vengeance\n( adapted from vivaldi ' s cantata\ncessate , omai cessate\n, rv 684\nah ch ' infelische sempre\n)\ngeum - ja ' s prayer\nnone of your business\nmusic composed by jo yeong - wook , choi seung - hyeon and na seok - joo .\nof course there\u2019s a world of difference between what von trier and park are up to . von trier uses the baroque pieces \u2013 vivaldi , albinoni , et al \u2013 as an ironic comment that goes hand - in - hand with john hurt\u2019s oh - so - sarcastic narration , a mockery of the paul bettany character\u2019s paradoxical and confused enlightenment aspirations and realpolitik actions . in park\u2019s vengeance fantasy , i suspect the baroque sound is very much a part of a formalism that is the director\u2019s trademark , and also that of his methodically vengeful characters . it does for revenge what kubrick\u2019s use of a schubert trio did for opportunistic wooing in barry lyndon , and with a similar sense of irony . lady vengeance and her predecessors in the trilogy serve their vengeance with plotting that would put most elizabethan revengers to shame . the idea is that the formal modes of vivaldi , paganini and others suit the premeditation better than the sentimental romanticism of vengeance that might be suggested by nineteenth century romantic writing for orchestra and opera . ( though both of the latter have been used for schemes of vengeance , with the climaxes of the godfather films immediately coming to mind . )\nwhat ' s interesting about sympathy for lady vengeance is that it manages to fall squarely in between the cold , calculating revenge of sympathy for mr . vengeance and the completely over the top pre - meditated revenge of oldboy and it works out quite nicely . as a whole , the trilogy stands as a very unique take on one of cinema ' s oldest and most reliable genres but it takes the formula for the standard revenge movie and dissects it , exploring new ways to deliver that dish best served cold . it ' s this unique take on what can be done with a rather simple premise and the many layers on which the three stories function that makes the trilogy not so much an exercise in style over substance but an exercise in style and substance . admittedly , the visuals in all three films and specifically in sympathy for lady vengeance are very flashy and definitely meant to impress but the stories hold their own and completely validate each and every excessive frame .\nstuck on my bedroom wall is one of my most valued possessions . it is a film poster bearing the iconic image of a woman , a halo circling her tear - stained face . this poster is for lady vengeance ( 2005 ) , by south korean writer - director park chan - wook , and the film is my greatest cinematic inspiration , as well as my constant critical benchmark .\nthough it\u2019s technically been available for a few months due to an exclusivity deal with best buy , park chan - wook\u2019s \u201c vengeance trilogy \u201d is available everywhere else starting today , so it seemed like a good time to finally take a look at this fantastic four - disc set from palisades tartan\u2019s asia extreme division . since i\u2019ve already reviewed all three films in some capacity over the years , i\u2019m not going to again , other than to say that \u201c oldboy \u201d remains the highlight of the trio and \u201csympathy for mr . vengeance\u201d the most overrated . \u201clady vengeance , \u201d on the other hand , is even better when watching the \u201cfade to white\u201d version \u2013 a previously unreleased cut of the movie that is slowly drained of color until it eventually dissolves into black and white .\ni don ' t usually review movies , nor a trilogy in this case , but i truly believe this should be an exception . i ' m probably like most of you , viewing this boxset after watching oldboy . however , the reason i bought it in the first place was to have my favourite out of the trilogy in blu - ray ; sympathy for lady vengeance . just as a general gist , these films are not narratively connected at all , though all tell profound stories in their own right . mr . vengeance being the most gruesome one , oldboy being much more bitter , whilst lady vengeance being surprisingly elegant and detailed , ( despite scenes of murder / torture ) . as a note , this version of lady vengeance is the fade to black and white version , of which does what it says ; as the movie progresses , colours will eventually became shaded white / black until only subtle primary colours remain . albeit i was rather disappointed when i found out the colour version was not included , but after now watching it the second time , i personally feel this is the version park chan - wook intended , and in my opinion is superior to the former . nonetheless , as a fan of contemporary korean movies , i am truly happy with my purchase , especially with the current price which i had purchased it for , it is an absolute bargain !\nthe vengeance trilogy is a strong collection of korean films focused on the consequences of actions , the vengeance that comes from those actions , and the pain that can be brought on by vengeance . the films , dark in nature and visuals , are well acted , well directed , and well written . they are not , however , for the faint of heart or those easily disturbed or unsettled by violence , sex , or difficult themes . as for the physical aspect of the movies , each movie comes in their own case and are then held all together by an outside box .\nproblem is , as well as this film being virtually plot - free , sympathy for lady vengeance is also criminally boring . director park tries to fill the void with arty shots , but the fact remains that , as the movie meanders towards its conclusion , there are no sympathies towards anyone ( let alone ' lady vengeance ' ) , there is no tension , there is no emotional involvement . this movie is just there . yes , in places it looks nice , but there ' s nothing meaningful to back it up . in that respect , it ' s a close cousin to kim ki - duk ' s the isle , which similarly had a\nstrong\nfemale protagonist and lots of lovely looking shots , but which revealed itself finally to be equally empty , dull and lacking in worth .\nnot a bad ol\u2019 week at the cinemas \u2013 you\u2019re unlikely to see me at the house , but lady macbeth and chocolat most certainly have me sold . but ultimately , my pick goes to the villainess .\nthe \u201cfade to white\u201d edition of \u201clady vengeance\u201d is just one of many new extras that appear on the four - disc set . it\u2019s also the only way to purchase two of the three films on blu - ray in the u . s . ( \u201coldboy\u201d has been available for a few years now ) , and although that may seem like a pretty voracious decision on the part of the studio , they\u2019ve clearly done their research , because i haven\u2019t come across too many people who want to own one of the films and not the others . with that said , palisades tartan has done everything in their power to make these new ultimate revenge editions truly ultimate in every way . both \u201csympathy for mr . vengeance\u201d and \u201clady vengeance\u201d boast audio commentaries with chan - wook and his lead actors , as well as hours of production featurettes , interviews and more . they also look and sound great thanks to brilliant 1080p video transfers that really play to the film\u2019s strengths , and dts - hd 5 . 1 master audio tracks .\ngo vist www . ladyvengeancemovie . com to see when the film will be playing in your city ! ! the trailer of the finale to park chanwook ' s vengeance trilogy ( oldboy , sympathy for mr . vengeance . aka - sympathy for lady vengeance . lee geum - ja , at the age of 19 , goes to prison for the murder and abduction of a child on behalf of her accomplice mr . baek , only to find out that she is betrayed . while in prison , she carefully prepares for her revenge by winning the hearts of her fellow inmates with her kindness , thus earning herself the nickname ' kind ms . geum - ja ' . upon her release from prison after 13 years , she finally sets out to seek revenge on baek , with the help of her former prison mates .\nvengeance or revenge has been characterized in popular culture in a range of different ways . within theories of criminology and social psychology , its relationship to retribution has been examined along with notions of deterrence and rehabilitation . vengeance has been prevalent within a range of various belief systems as well as in myths , legends , and sacred texts . while vengeance seems to be a feature in all cultures , its acceptance as an appropriate response has been less than clear . it has been weighed alongside a preference for forgiveness , and tensions between these two options against harm have come to the fore in more recent times .\nleaff presents a park chan - wook retrospective the london east asia film festival ( leaff ) proudly present a retrospective of internationally acclaimed filmmaker park chan - wook , supported by picturehouse cinemas . with his versatility and idiosyncratic style , park has become a powerhouse not only in asia but across the globe . we want to do justice to his outstanding contribution to asian cinema , so park will attend leaff to discuss his new feature the handmaiden and present the stunning 4k restoration of lady vengeance as part of the famous \u2018vengeance trilogy . \u2019 ( picturehouse cinemas ) click here to book tickets leaff presents a park chan - wook retrospective\nin diametric contrast , lady vengeance is deadly beauty ; aloof , striking , and dangerous . it ' s a captive , cultivated cobra lilly ( of the carnivorous persuasion ) at the height of its bloom , but one about to undergo immediate transplant into the wild . in an unpredictable world , will it flourish or wither ? when movement and actions are judiciously restrained for survival\u2019s sake , it becomes apparent that flamboyant musical styles aren\u2019t what propel the film . lady vengeance , without the intrusions of first - person flashbacks , is ( essentially ) a less complicated , lighter film accompanied by an emotionally byzantine score . cho collaborates with producer / composer , choi seung - hyun , and arranger , na seok - joo , to bring about what seems like a straightforward repertoire on album , but a focused , complexly integrated score for the film .\nwhen the verdict is finally decided , there is an awful\u2014but hilarious , extended period of anxiety and sounds . park\u2019s asian sensibility and wit makes the d\u00e9nouement an invigorating , if ambivalent , experience ; no one is entirely happy with the results , yet justice has been done , and in this , it shares a musical link ( a waltz ) with oldboy . the majority of the waltzes in oldboy are in the vein of madness\u2014\u2018cries and whispers\u2019 , \u2018breathless\u2019 , and \u2018farewell , my lovely\u2019 could easily be rearranged for any freakish , circus funhouse . the latter track\u2019s arrangement is the one that \u2018unhappy party\u2019 most resembles ; instead of keeping the solo clarinet prominent , the waltz in lady vengeance uses it to lead in the string orchestra before merging with other wind instruments . it is no longer a lone soul wrought and ravaged by revenge , but many . mr . vengeance featured a hesitant ( or perhaps indifferent ) ending when the blood ran dry , but lady vengeance has a small daughter . unlike oh dae - su of oldboy , she has a chance of true redemption .\nit\u2019s fairly low - wattage for the most part . unlike those other scorned heroines in western revenge flicks , her vengeful lady seems a little unspectacular when compared to the scorching white - heat intensity that say zo\u00eb tamerlaine brings to\nsympathy for lady vengeance in venice is eight and a half minutes of footage from the film ' s premiere at the venice film festival . there ' s some neat footage here of a press conference , a few cast members are interviewed , and we also see some footage from the festival itself . no subtitles , but you can still get the general idea of how the film went over as everyone seems very upbeat and positive here .\nthe assumptions we make about the cinema we don\u2019t imagine we\u2019ll ever see usually say as much about our ignorance as our wisdom . our willingness to overlook art that carries certain social associations usually comes back to bite us . listening to the music of sympathy for lady vengeance made me think that i\u2019d been unjustifiably arrogant about the films of park chanwook , the korean filmmaker whose films to date ( sympathy for mr vengeance , oldboy ) have obtained cult popularity and moral disapproval from mainstream critical press , a unit remarkably amoral itself when it wants to be . the plot reads as the edifying kind of material i\u2019d expect given park chanwook\u2019s previous violent subject matter :\nthe final installment in korean writer - director park chan - wook ' s\nvengeance trilogy\nis marginally less sadistic than sympathy for mr . vengeance ( 2002 ) and oldboy ( 2003 ) but delivers an equally intense emotional wallop . it begins with the release of lee guem - ja ( lee young - ae ) after 14 years of imprisonment for kidnapping and murdering a small boy . guem - ja ' s . . . read more\nseveral actors on this film , specially the ones portraying the relatives of the dead children , also appeared on boksuneun naui geot ( 2002 ) and / or oldboy ( 2003 ) , the previous parts of the vengeance trilogy .\ndeep into the stony hills miles from town or hold a troop of guards comes riding with a lady and her gold . she rides bemused among them shrouded in her cloak of fur companioned by a maiden and a toothless , aged cur .\ncharacters for lady vengeance is a collection of four interviews : young - ae lee , min - shik choi , bu - seon kim , and most of the actors who played the family members of the deceased children from the movie . combined , these four interviews fun a total of just a few seconds over twenty - six minutes in length and again , they ' re in korean without any subtitles making them impenetrable to those who don ' t speak the language .\nfrom park chan - wook , the celebrated director of oldboy , lady vengeance , thirst and stoker , comes a ravishing new crime drama inspired by the novel \u2018 fingersmith \u2019 by british author sarah waters . having transposed the story to 1930s - era colonial korea and japan , park presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young japanese lady living on a secluded estate , and a korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden , but who is secretly involved in a conman\u2019s plot to defraud her of her large inheritance . powered by remarkable performances from kim min - hee ( right now , wrong then ) as lady hideko , ha jung - woo ( the chaser ) as the conman who calls himself the count and sensational debut actress kim tae - ri as the maid sookee , the handmaiden borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with park chan - wook \u2019s singular vision and energy to create an unforgettable viewing experience .\nthere are nods to the earlier two films \u2013 geum - ja gives up one of her kidneys to help a friend ; the detective is the same one as in mr vengeance ; and baek ' s justification of kidnapping is much the same as cha ' s in that movie \u2013 only while cha was politically ( and , to an extent later on , personally ) motivated , baek is only out for gratification and riches . perhaps it ' s money that this movie is about \u2013 when the families of baek ' s victims are invited by geum - ja to take their revenge on a captive baek , it ' s geum - ja ' s promise that their ransoms will be returned that seems to seal the deal . if mr vengeance was about ethics , and oldboy focused on justice , lady vengeance deals with the more shallow aspects of crime : questions of morality , dirty money and the iniquities of the criminal justice system .\nunlike in oldboy , the music of lady vengeance is vital to striking the right tone ; music , tempered by silence , takes on a myriad of roles that do for the film what the graphic sounds did for mr . vengeance , but there\u2019s never any hostility as it serves as a conduit of angst , humor , and irony . baroque , italian - styled phrases frequently morph into an analytical shrink , mildly sardonic spectator , comedic straight man , or the nonplussed arching of brows . it\u2019s this clever juxtaposing of musical tone and character that imbues in the film something the characters don\u2019t , or can\u2019t always secure for themselves , that is , sympathy . ( most of which doesn\u2019t manifest until the movie\u2019s second half . )\nin the third and final commentary , richard pe\u00f1a , the associate professor of film at columbia university , goes into great detail on the symbolism spread throughout the movie . pe\u00f1a is obviously a big fan of lady , and he really is quite knowledgeable .\nlittle does the lady care what all the guardsmen know that bandits ambush caravans that on these trade roads go . in spite of tricks and clever traps and all that men can do , the brigands seem to always sense which trains are false or true .\nsouth korean filmmaker chan - wook park made a name for himself with j . s . a . and later with sympathy for mr . vengeance , a hard - edged and emotionally involving tale of revenge . he followed that film with the second in his ' revenge trilogy , ' the masterful and very popular oldboy . a year or so later , he finished the trilogy with the release of sympathy for lady vengeance , a film which shares some of the same basic themes and principals of the two earlier entries but definitely stands on its own as a truly unique and gripping work of cinema . needless to say , with the international popularity and critical acclaim that was lauded on oldboy , expectations were high for this film \u2013 thankfully , park delivers .\na documentary entitled the style of lady vengeance is an interesting peak at the look of the film was developed . with a combined running time of roughly half an hour in length , the five sections of this documentary are : visualization , production costume and make up , special art and a section on computer graphics effects . this is a pretty interesting look at how the filmmakers and technicians came up with the unique look of the movie , with a lot of attention given to the integration of computer graphics .\nfrom ambush bandits screaming charge the pack train and its prize and all but four within the train are taken by surprise . and all but four are cut down as a woodsman fells a log , the guardsman and the lady and the maiden and the dog .\none of the playlist\u2019s best films of 2016 , celebrated director park chan -

ae , choi mik - sik , seo young - ju and some of the actors who portray the family members of the murdered children .\nthe lady and her sister by a single trader lone were hired out to try to lay a trap all of their own , and no one knew their plan except the two who rode that day . for what you do not know you cannot ever give away .\nthe bandits growled a challenge and the lady only grins , the sorceress bows mockingly and then the fight begins . when it ends there ' s only four left standing from the horde , the witch , the wolf , the traitor and the woman with the sword .\na distinction can usefully be made between vengeance undertaken by the state and the community on the one hand , which might be termed the revenge of the legal process and that exacted by the individual or family . the vengeance theme has been a major feature of western culture in its expression in greek literature and theater , through classical authors like shakespeare and racine to the present day . there is a link to popular literature as well as the more elusive world of popular theater and its occasional forays into the revenge theme .\nthe blue dragon awards , considered one of korea ' s top two awards ceremonies together with the grand bell awards , has announced the nominations for its 26th edition . competing for the best picture award will be five critical and box office hits : park kwang - hyun ' s korean war drama welcome to dongmakgol , park chan - wook ' s thriller sympathy for lady vengeance , park jin - pyo ' s melodrama you are my sunshine , jeong yun - cheol ' s drama marathon , and kim dae - seung ' s period thriller blood rain . with 15 categories in total , the films with the most nominations are park kwang - hyun ' s welcome to dongmakgol and park chan - wook ' s sympathy for lady vengeance , each with eight nominations . another three films managed to secure seven nominations each : you are my sunshine , blood rain , and a bittersweet life . as for acting nominations , gang hye - jung ( rules of dating ) , kim jung - eun ( blossom again ) , son yeh - jin ( april snow ) , lee young - ae ( sympathy for lady vengeance ) , and jeon do - yeon ( you are my sunshine ) will compete for the best actress award , while park hae - il ( rules of dating ) , ryoo seung - beom ( crying fist ) , lee byung - heon ( a bittersweet life ) , cho seung - woo ( marathon ) , and hwang jeong - min ( you are my sunshine ) will battle it out for best actor . the ceremony is scheduled to be held at 8pm on november 29 at kbs hall in yeouido , seoul ,\nthen off the lady pulls her cloak in armour she is clad her sword is out and ready a nd her eyes are fierce and glad . the maiden makes a gesture and the dog ' s a cur no more . a wolf , swordmaid and sorceress now face the bandit horde .\nas good as her work in \ub300\uc7a5\uae08 ( dae jang geum : jewel in the palace ) was , he felt he could finally show all the fire inside her , hidden by her past image . and a lot of ' lady vengeance ' is more about lee young - ae than revenge itself , about her transformation . the project promised to bring back park ' s theme of vengeance for one last time , but also show something new in lee young - ae ' s career . and boy , so it does . park fills the first half of the film with allusions to lee ' s cf image , to her roles in tv dramas ( the cook who makes magic out of simple ingredients , enough to serve a king ! ) , using it as an ironic build - up for geum - ja ' s revenge plan . whereas the real person behind geum - ja built a career out of perfectly controlling every aspect of her life , geum - ja uses this way of living all for one purpose : find the man who caused her to commit a sin , and get her vengeance .\nfamily is the basis of the vengeance trilogy\u2014more so in lady vengeance than the others , hence the focus of five tracks on lee\u2019s long - lost daughter , jenny . \u2018mareta , mareta no ' m faces plorar\u2019 , an 18th century , spanish folk cradlesong , is representative of lee\u2019s chance for personal salvation . she hums this to her stubborn child after finding her , but the \u2018lullaby\u2019 is later sung by jenny in forlorn despair . ( incidentally , the alternative take is much more pleasant to hear . ) despite appearance and prickly disposition , jenny ( \u2018the angel\u2019 ) has in her the kindness that everyone professes to see in lee . \u2018the letter\u2019 to her mother , led again by a cynical harpsichord , is one of poignant scorn ; a split screen features jenny speaking the written words , and lee , frantically paging through an english - korean dictionary .\nthe directors cut of sympathy for mr vengeance desaturates as the film goes on , going from full colour into black and white . i ' ve filmed the blu ray playing fast forwarded so you can see it fade into b & w ; without having to sit through 2 hours .\nthe movie is the last one from park chan - wook ' s\nthe vengeance trilogy\n- the first movie in the series was sympathy for mr . vengeance , in 2002 , which if i remember correctly , was only shown once , in brazil at the rio de janeiro film festival . actually , this movie wasn ' t , at all well , recieved and is generally considered a\nflop\n, even by its creator , who , when talking about it , remarked :\nthat ' s why it ' s my favourite . . .\n.\nthe film , the finalinstalment of park ' s so - called\nrevenge trilogy ,\nwhich also includes oldboy ( 2003 ) and sympathy for mr vengeance ( 2002 ) , sold 1 . 46mtickets between july 28 and 31 , amounting to approximately $ 9 . 3m in box officetake .\ni enjoyed this album . it made me feel like i\u2019d underestimated the director - composer team behind the film a great deal , and encouraged me to watch one of park chanwook\u2019s vengeance trilogy sometime , if only to see how the musical choices made here payoff in the context of the film .\nit ' s well - worth a run for the nearest movie theatre , as soon as possible , before it ' s too late . if it ' s no longer in cinemas , amazon . uk already has the the vengeance trilogy box - set , but subtitles are only available in english -"]}

purchase and auction process on that property . although we were were unsuccessful at that auction , with their invaluable assistance we went on to purchase a lovely home that\u2019s just right for us . when it came time for us to sell our previous home we relied on brooke and jordan\u2019s expertise once again in getting us a timely result and a sale price that we were very happy with . we can\u2019t recommend jordan and brooke highly enough . they are exceptionally obliging , effective , hardworking and knowledgable people who genuinely care about their clients . they are warm , positive and trustworthy and have a great future ahead of them in the real estate industry .\njordan and brooke really are the next generation of real estate agents . after an unsuccesful 90 day campaign with another agency , i was recommended to jordan and brooke and after 4 weeks on the market , sold . they were quick to identify the target market for my property , and then really focused on getting the right people through our open homes . i really can\u2019t fault them , quick communication on our imessage group , amazing video and photography , regular updates and feedback from the open homes , and even helped getting information from the council ! they really are # withyoualltheway .\nyouthful , modern , new age approach with an experienced track record . we would highly recommend talking to jordan + brooke if you are thinking of selling . they were involved in both our buying and selling process . they were very professional , made us feel at ease and held our hands on the real estate rollercoaster . they had great communication and helped us understand everything . we felt like we had friends in the know , and that we were brought into the loop with everything . they genuinely cared about the outcome and us as a family . jordan + brooke are the perfect blend of professionalism and personality . when you find gold , you know it -

maker erik bonds with closeted lawyer paul after a fling . as their relationship becomes one fueled by highs , lows , and dysfunctional patterns , erik struggles to negotiate his own boundaries while being true to himself .\nmichael barbieri and theo taplitz give truly outstanding performances as tony and jake : a delicate , nuanced friendship \u2013 tony is bold , confident , charming and humorous , the extrovert to jake\u2019s introvert . in a way it is like first love , and the film suggests that this might be something more than friendship , but probably isn\u2019t , and there are in any case no cliches and no stereotypes . tony and jake might under other circumstances occupy the entire space of the film : it could have been a kind of platonic version of edmund white\u2019s a boy\u2019s own story , and there is a kind of understated , almost subliminal gay sensibility to the film that is a part of its shrewdness and emotional acuity .\na standout scene in the film involves kinnear ' s character bryan and garc\u00eda ' s character leonor , whom he tries to evict . it ' s a treat to watch kinnear at his most skillfully awkward opposite an enormous talent like garc\u00eda . ( american viewers may know garc\u00eda from narcos , the 33 , and the highly praised film gloria . chileans will know her from \u2014 among other things \u2014 the chilean mini - series los archivos del cardenal , where she played m\u00f3nica spencer . )\na small and quiet film with great performances from the cast - especially the two young leads jake ( theo taplitz ) and tony ( michael barbieri ) - who become friends when jake\u2019s grandfather dies and his family move into a brooklyn apartment above a shop leased by tony\u2019s mother .\nwhat works less well \u2014 and this is very minor , but it bears mentioning \u2014 are the accents . i wish more films and tv shows would incorporate spanish the way little men does , but i also wish they did it with the care we take with accents in english , not letting australian pass for british or british for american . garc\u00eda ' s accent is obviously chilean , but the same cannot be said for her\nchilean friend\nhern\u00e1n ( played by alfred molina ) . molina ' s a fabulous actor , but he can ' t pass for chilean when he speaks spanish and should not have been asked to try .\nat the end of stephen king ' s\nit ,\nnarrator bill denbrough muses :\nhe thinks that it is good to be a child , but it is also good to be a grown - up and able to consider the mystery of childhood . . . its beliefs and desires . . . it ' s nice . . . to think that childhood has its own sweet secrets and confirms mortality , and that mortality defines all courage and love .\nthe friendship of jake and tony in\nlittle men\ncarries that kind of bittersweet weight . jake and tony hold hands over the growing abyss between their parents . they ' re only 13 years old . do they know that relationships are fragile and need protection ? do they understand how precious their friendship is , how much they need to hold onto it , how much they will miss it if it ends ? these questions carry intense reverberation long after the film ends .\nira sachs\u2019 dramas are so understated in their ambition , they\u2019re easy to take for granted . love is strange , his 2014 film about a married gay couple\u2019s lives capsizing after they\u2019re forced to move out of their new york apartment , argued for marriage equality with near - subliminal stealth and power .\nagain , there\u2019s that sense that tony serves as the key champion for jake\u2019s artistic future . compare a scene in which they discuss his drawings with one in which jake , deeply wounded that some of his favorite sketches appear to have gotten thrown out during the move , is lectured by his father on how it can feel good to let things go \u2014 one moment helps set his career path in motion , while the other represents the sort of resentment jake will likely harbor for life . these are precisely the sort of moments in which sachs and screenwriter mauricio zacharias specialize , like painters whose every brushstroke represents a childhood memory that will ultimately come to define these two little men .\nlittle men\nis only 85 minutes long , and its brevity works in its favor . the mood is compressed and urgent . leonor ' s 13 - year - old son tony ( michael barbieri ) is a gregarious , friendly kid , and he and jake strike up an unlikely friendship . they have a lot in common , mainly their ambition for their futures . jake is serious about being an artist , and tony wants to be an actor . they roam the streets , jake wobbling on roller - blades , tony zipping along on a kick scooter , brooklyn passing in a blur , music surging up around them . ( these shots repeat . they are explosions of wordless emotion . )\nnative new yorkers watch a lot of films and television shows set in manhattan and think ,\nthe apartments are too big . the hallways are too wide . i had to cut my bedframe in half in order to get it up the stairs .\nsachs does not have a tourist ' s mentality towards the city . the apartments are cluttered and cramped , people are on top of each other in any given space . new york is ( increasingly ) just for the rich , with entire neighborhoods driven out of existence by rising costs . when a city forgets or ignores its own past , what else is lost in the process ? loss is the air that\nlittle men\nbreathes .\nmight have had an extreme reaction here , because this happened to be the first film i watched after the election and the last thing i wanted was to find myself sympathizing almost entirely with the white people . nor does this appear to be a problem that anyone else shares , which troubles me . * no doubt most folks zero in on sachs ' intention , which is perfectly clear : he means to create a thorny , irresolvable situation , with neither party in the right and the kids caught in the crosshairs . laudable , and it ' s safe to say that i ' m receptive to that idea in broad outline , given that a separation is my favorite film of the century so far . but . . . leonor is just a horrible\u2026\nsachs would obviously rather spend time with his title characters , the burgeoning artists . barbieri at first struck me as way over the top , but his exuberance connects with his character\u2019s . there\u2019s a scene in an improv class in which tony and the teacher shout back and forth ( it\u2019s an exercise ) that goes on and on until you think , \u201cacting for this kid is existential . \u201d taplitz\u2019s introspection , meanwhile , gives way to an explosion of tears that had me wiping away my own . the kids\u2019 battle might be hopeless , but little men made me think of dr . johnson\u2019s \u201cit is necessary to hope , though hope should always be deluded ; for hope itself is happiness and its frustrations , however frequent , are less dreadful than its extinction . \u201d there\u2019s no chance of hope going extinct in jake . he\u2019s too open \u2014 like his director .\nin part because of expectations from the involvement in gay culture found in\nkeep the lights on\nand\nlove is strange ,\nthere is an almost subliminal expectation that there will a gay story line in sachs ' new film as well . and while the two teenage boys \u2013 sensitive , artistic outsiders \u2013 seem in some way attracted to one another , it is never spoken of nor acted upon .\nit feels affirming ,\nhe said of the tribute .\nit was so not a given that i would have a sustainable career . between my first and my second film was nine years , between my third and fourth films was five years . it ' s like figuring out that the apparatus to make it possible was struggle . so this feels like a payoff in a way for that struggle .\nthis is a film about what gentrification means in real terms , and it reminded me of laurence fishburne\u2019s speech on this subject from john singleton\u2019s 1991 movie boyz n the hood : that gentrification is a hostile act , an exploitation of communities , and something to be resisted . yet the exploiters , the incomers , can be decent people with agonisingly good intentions , muddled by suspicions and difficult , almost feudal loyalties of their own .\nat the film ' s center is a microscopic close - up on early adolescence ; the precise moment when two young boys stand on the precipice separating childhood innocence from their first bruising understanding of the complexities of the adult world . but it ' s unlike other american screen depictions of that age , aside perhaps from some micro moments in the macro - mosaic of boyhood . sachs cites two ozu films about children in conflict with their parents as the initial spark .\nthe part of the feisty dressmaker downstairs was written expressly for chilean actress paulina garcia after sachs and zacharias had seen her in the 2013 film\ngloria .\nthe two young boys however were another matter . working with casting director avy kaufman , who sachs called a\nkid whisperer\nfor her work on filling roles in films such as\nthe sixth sense ,\nthe ice storm\nand\nlife of pi ,\nthe production found taplitz in los angeles and barbieri in new york .\nall of this potentially saccharine and suffocating material is handled with such natural delicacy that its full effect doesn\u2019t hit you until after the movie is over \u2014 there are only a small handful of scenes that aren\u2019t seen from either tony or jake\u2019s pov , and one of the great accomplishments of sachs\u2019 unobtrusive direction is how organically he returns viewers to the wide - eyed wonder of being a little man in a big city . he understands that childhood is inherently cinematic , and dickon hinchliffe\u2019s plucky score shimmers with the feeling that new york looks like a completely different place when you\u2019re four feet tall .\nthese are kids who are swamped in the process of becoming , kids who haven\u2019t yet settled into the fixed understandings that plague adults . money , for one thing , is never an immediate issue between tony and jake , even as it looms over their future in the form of some slightly muddled business about the fancy high school they both want to attend . but there are certain socioeconomic realities that can\u2019t be ignored , and as their friendship deepens and they\u2019re forced to defend themselves against their parents\u2019 legal woes , the film assumes a low -

share production of chekhov\u2019s the seagull , he realises that his career can only go downhill from here and he needs money . increasing leonora\u2019s rent is a very obvious way to secure his financial future , and he is in any case under pressure to do so from his sister audrey ( talia balsam ) , herself entitled to half this rent , and with money issues of her own . so brian \u2013 liberal , well - meaning and self - pitying \u2013 is steeling himself for this horrifically difficult conversation with his neighbour when he realises that his lonely son has become best friends with leonor\u2019s son tony ( michael barbieri ) , a wannabe actor , and so he actually owes leonor and her family a very important debt .\nit is a kind of nightmare , and another kind of movie might want to escalate this situation generically into broad satirical comedy or psychological horror . but sachs keeps it rigorously at the level of embarrassing real life , and the characterisation and narrative developments are not forced on us ; we are kept a step away , with scenes that do not appear at first to have obvious narrative relevance , like tony\u2019s drama improv class .\nsachs and his screenwriting partner mauricio zacharias show all the ways in which confrontation causes everyone to overplay their hand and put themselves in the wrong . feeling understandably cornered by brian and kathy\u2019s casual visits \u2013 they want , after all , nothing other than to increase her rent threefold \u2013 leonor becomes coldly angry , pointing out to brian that she had a real friendship with his late father , clumsily claiming that she knew him better than brian . later , brian overreacts to what he perceives as tony\u2019s ill manners , and this grown man makes a petulant outburst that is a wince -

american kids named william gates and arthur agee , from chicago ' s inner city , who are gifted basketball players and dream of someday starring in the nba . on another level , it is about much larger subjects : about ambition , competition , race and class in our society . about our value structures . and about the daily lives of people like the agee and gates families , who are usually invisible in the mass media , but have a determination and resiliency that is a cause for hope .\nagain there are many echoes of the way in which children are seen as a shared responsibility in island . the pilot projects , run both in the us and the uk - in greenwich - have been successful , says laura huxley , and her claims are backed up by many who have worked on the projects ; teenage pregnancy rates for those who have been on the programmes are a tiny percentage of the average .\nthere is , of course , no single island dwelling \u2013 but there is a taxonomy of types . maybe the one that pops into the mind first is the villain\u2019s lair . the bond franchise has made an enjoyable clich\u00e9 of this . it is there in the thunderbirds tv series too , arguably done even better , but it is bond that became the archetype and the best example is in dr no ( 1962 ) .\na movie ' s finished product can often belie the insane struggle it took to make it ; even hollywood ' s worst offerings sometimes end up looking far better than they should . here are 12 stories behind famous film productions where everything went wrong and nothing felt right .\nthe film adaptation of max brooks ' best - selling novel world war z initially had a december 2012 release date , but it was later pushed to summer 2013 when production woes and delays plagued the project . with less than three weeks left in production , damon lindelof and drew goddard were brought in to re - write its third act and ending .\nthe script needed months of work , not days ,\na studio source told vulture in 2012 .\nand changes were needed throughout the film , not just at the end .\na similarly slick modernism appears in david fincher\u2019s us version of the girl with the dragon tattoo ( 2011 ) as the hedeby house of the film\u2019s villain , martin vanger . the house used is actually the villa \u00f6verby designed by john robert nilsson , an exquisite swedish summer house and location scout\u2019s dream .\nit was his last novel , published just before he died in november 1963 on the same day as president kennedy . huxley ' s death was made remarkable because of his decision to take lsd as he departed . now huxley ' s days in california are recalled in a new book and given a special echo by the 25th anniversary of an organisation founded by his widow , laura , who is still energetically putting into practice some of the utopian principles articulated in island .\nthe building here presents a departure from the usual island archetypes ; the colonial , the sci - fi subterranean and the fearsome prison . instead , here is an exquisite modern house , coolly detailed in high - end contemporary materials \u2013 japanese - style concrete , floor - to - ceiling windows and flowing spaces . it is presented in contrast to mcgregor\u2019s own untidy bachelor pad , but of course , in the movies this kind of opulence and apparent transparency can only mean surveillance and paranoia .\nyoung filmmaker gino m . santos thought he wasn\u2019t ready to make a full - length project , but having gone to kyoto , japan for his film workshops and being taken under the wings of applauded directors marilou diaz - abaya and brillante mendoza , gino has become a dark horse readily proving that age is just a number .\nwhile it ' s unclear if kevin reynolds walked off the project or if he was fired , kevin costner had to finish the film with only two weeks left in production . in the end , critics panned waterworld and it became one of the biggest box office bombs in history when it was released during the summer of 1995 .\nalthough apocalypse now was slated for a may 1978 release date , it was pushed to august 1979 because of continuing delays during post - production . since coppola had a tough time shooting the film , he was unable to adequately capture jungle and military sound effects , so a majority of its sound had to be re - recorded .\nthe people at st . joseph ' s high school are not pleased with the way they appear in the film , and have filed suit , saying among other things that they were told the film would be a non - profit project to be aired on pbs , not a commercial venture . the filmmakers respond that they , too , thought it would - that the amazing response which has found it a theatrical release is a surprise to them . the movie simply turned out to be a masterpiece , and its intended non - commercial slot was not big enough to hold it . the st . joseph suit reveals understandable sensitivity , because not all of the st .\narchera is 90 now but still trim and active . born in italy , she was a concert violinist who moved to the us as a child , performing at carnegie hall in her teens . she changed careers and became a film editor . in the 1950s she had wanted to make a film about the palio , the annual horse race run through the streets of siena in italy . the director john huston told her that if she was able to persuade aldous huxley - who had been in italy and now lived in the desert outside la - to write the screenplay , he might be able to get it financed . she wrote to solicit the british author ' s help .\nalong with our amazing locations we are working with great directors , crew technicians , sound engineers and composers . some of the most talented set and costume designers , and of course who could forget our unbelievable cast . out of sheer goodwill , some of the best local musicians and artists have volunteered to contribute their skills in both art design and the score . we will be creating not only a film that recognizes the beauty of miami , but a full creative project that will allow us to showcase the real talent that miami has to offer . we really want to make this film be a full representation of the artistic potential in miami , so we aren ' t holding any favors back !\nfive tickets for the price of four . can be used during the main riiff in august ; the annual rl lnternational horror festival in october , plus any special year - round film series we sponsor . no termination date . we also do not restrict usage , so this is a great way for a group to come and see our programs .\nadditional music not on the soundtrack album includes\noye como spy\n, which is an adaptation of tito puente ' s\noye como va\n, performed by los lobos ( the song is on the soundtrack album from the first spy kids film ) ; and\nbachianas brasileiras no . 5\nfor soprano and eight cellos by heitor villa - lobos .\nthe huxleys had taken lsd together while listening to bach ' s fourth brandenburg concerto - as does the main character in island - and experiencing\naesthetic revelations\n. but laura huxley is anxious to put her late husband ' s relation ship with lsd into context , saying that between 1953 and 1963 he took it only around 10 or 12 times , the sort of dosage which some people have taken in a single week . his experiences are described in the doors of perception in 1953 . one of their friends of the period was timothy leary , forever associated with lsd .\nwhen it comes to obstacles , there are a few . our primary challenge will be working with the weather here in miami . most of our film will be shot outdoors , being a miami local i know how unpredictable it can be planning shoot days with constant changes in the weather , sometimes it rains , sometimes its cloudy , and we want to keep continuity as best as possible .\nstar jason robards left the film due to dysentery and his role had to be re - cast with klaus kinski , who didn ' t get along with herzog during filming . a famous rumor has it that one of the extras offered to kill kinski for herzog because he was so difficult to work with , but the director declined the offer because he needed him to finish the picture .\nalthough many artists have emigrated from cuba to live and work abroad , adi\u00f3s utopia focuses on the untold narrative of those artists who remained in cuba or whose careers took off after fidel castro\u2019s 1959 revolution . through a selection of pivotal artworks\u2014created in each of six decades since 1950\u2014the exhibition explores cuba\u2019s artistic production through the lens of utopia , both its construction and its deconstruction . adi\u00f3s utopia introduces u . s . audiences to key events in cuban history and explores how this history affected individual artists , shaped the character of art produced on the island , and conditioned the reception of cuban art both in cuba and abroad .\nishtar is known as one of the biggest fiascos in filmmaking history . warren beatty produced the movie for elaine may as a favor for taking an uncredited screenwriting role on his academy award - winning film reds in 1981 . beatty believed that ishtar would raise elaine may ' s reputation as a top - notch filmmaker in hollywood , but , in reality , it ended her career as a director .\ndreamlands : immersive cinema and art , 1905\u20132016 focuses on the ways in which artists have dismantled and reassembled the conventions of cinema\u2014screen , projection , darkness\u2014to create new experiences of the moving image . the exhibition will fill the museum\u2019s 18 , 000 - square - foot fifth - floor neil bluhm family galleries , and will include a film series in the third - floor susan and john hess family theater .\nthe exhibition will be the most technologically complex project mounted in the whitney\u2019s new building to date , embracing a wide range of moving image techniques , from hand - painted film to the latest digital technologies . the works on view use color , touch , music , spectacle , light , and darkness to confound expectations , flattening space through animation and abstraction , or heightening the illusion of three dimensions .\nbut the film is not only , or mostly , about such issues . it is about the ebb and flow of life over several years , as the careers of the two boys go through changes so amazing that , if this were fiction , we would say it was unbelievable . the filmmakers ( steve james , frederick marx and peter gilbert ) shot miles of film , 250 hours in all , and that means they were there for several of the dramatic turning - points in the lives of the two young men . for both , there are reversals of fortune - life seems bleak , and then is redeemed by hope and sometimes even triumph . i was caught up in their destinies as i rarely am in a fiction thriller , because real life can be a cliff - hanger , too .\nwas the animals autobiographical to you in any way ? do you see yourself in a character you\u2019ve written ? it was actually more autobiographical to my friends [ laughs ] . a lot of my friends inspired some of the characters in the film . but of course , a part of me was in each character\u2014someone who wants to belong , someone who wants to have fun , and someone who always wants more ."]}

fellows productions and batjac productions .\nin the director\u2019s commentary section of the holiday dvd , nancy meyers shared the reason why she decided to use shere as the film location for the holiday . not only is shere a beautiful , quintessential english country village , it is also just about an hour away from london , where the film cast and crew were based . so filming there made much financial and geographical sense . the village\u2019s location and charms have lured many filming productions to shoot there , among those were four weddings and a funeral ( 1994 ) , bridget jones : the edge of reasons ( 2004 ) , and the wedding date ( 2005 ) .\nthe love montage of the date scenes ( screenshots below ) is an hommage to the classic romantic movies from the 1960\u2019s , specifically the 1966 french film a man and a woman , shared meyers in the director\u2019s commentary . the beautiful montage was filmed on location at a real georgian country house , cornwell manor in oxfordshire .\nwhen miles and iris are picking out movies at a blockbuster . to not spoil it for those of you who haven\u2019t seen the film , i won\u2019t say much except that it\u2019s a scene that happened totally by chance which resulted in a surprise appearance of a famous actor in that scene . have i piqued your interest yet ?\nwayne portrayed an aging gunfighter dying of cancer in his final film , the shootist ( 1976 ) , with jimmy stewart and lauren bacall . his character , john bernard books , hoped to spend his final days peacefully , but got involved one last gunfight . in 1978 , life imitated art with wayne being diagnosed with stomach cancer .\nin actuality , the eldest von trapp child was not 16 - going - on - 17 - year - old liesl , but rupert , who was born in 1911 and a practicing physician by the time the family fled austria in 1938 . liesl wasn\u2019t even liesl . in the film , all the names of the von trapp children were changed .\ngodalming is a typical english village , with cobbled - stone streets and attractive storefronts . no wonder the downtown area of the village has often been used as a film location for numerous movies and television programs . it is also on the list of the uk\u2019s most desirable property hotspots and voted the fourth best town in the uk to live in .\ncast in mr selfridge before completing his degree at arts educational , greg austin has also appeared in an episode of law & order : uk and short film into the surf . amy morgan has acted in tv series baker boys and the great war : the people\u2019s story , and has trodden the boards in hay fever and the national theatre\u2019s the beaux\u2019 strategem .\naccording to her own telling , wegener\u2019s transition into elbe began by chance , when one of her wife\u2019s life models failed to turn up . the couple\u2019s mutual friend , an actress named anna larsen , suggested that the slight einar might step in instead . at first she resisted , but eventually she gave in to gerda\u2019s pleas . \u201ci cannot deny , strange as it may sound , that i enjoyed myself in this disguise . i liked the feel of soft women\u2019s clothing , \u201d she wrote . \u201ci felt very much at home in them from the first moment . \u201d\nin beverly hills . meyers chose the grill as the film location for this scene because it is the right place for someone of arthur\u2019s generation to frequent . in the scene , meyers had the two friends sitting in the middle of the room to convey that they\u2019re just everyday folks , not hollywood elites , so they don\u2019t get to sit at any \u201cspecial\u201d table .\nto give you a bit of background ( but not to give too much away if you haven\u2019t seen the movie ) , iris ( played by the wonderful and radiant kate winslet ) is a wedding column writer for the daily telegraph , a london newspaper . she\u2019s a smart , beautiful and compassionate young woman who , unfortunately , has been forever in ( unrequited ) love with her colleague jasper bloom ( rufus sewell ) . at an office christmas party , iris finds out that jasper is engaged to another colleague . iris is devastated and comes home with a broken heart .\n\u201cit was the house i always dreamed of , \u201d ms . diller said , \u201cand here it was , already built . \u201d she loved her brentwood home and named many of its 22 rooms . for example , the living room was the bob hope salon , her office was the bach room , one of the guest rooms - washed in yellow - was named the canary suite , the red kitchen was the scarlet scullery , the room with an organ was the pump room , a powder room was the edith head room , and a mirrored telephone room was the john wilkes booth .\nsince then , the house and its gardens has been one of the country\u2019s most popular film locations , often starring in many movies and television shows ( including my personal favorite the gilmore girls ) . the greystone mansion\u2019s descending staircase is one of the most famous sets in hollywood . speaking of which , here\u2019s a screenshot from the gilmore girls that includes the famous greystone mansion staircase :\nwayne worked with o & apos ; hara on several films , perhaps most notably the quiet man ( 1952 ) . playing an american boxer with a bad reputation , his character moved to ireland where he fell in love with a local woman ( maureen o & apos ; hara ) . this film is considered wayne & apos ; s most convincing leading romantic role by many critics .\nactor john wayne was born marion robert morrison on may 26 , 1907 , in winterset , iowa . ( some sources also list him as marion michael morrison and marion mitchell morrison . ) one of the most popular film actors of the 20th century , john wayne remains a popular american icon to this day . he was already a sizable presence when he was born , weighing around 13 pounds .\none of the disappointments the von trapp children had about \u201cthe sound of music\u201d was the portrayal of their father as a detached disciplinarian . while he did use a whistle with a distinctive sound for each child and dressed them in sailor suits , the captain did not make his children march or stand at attention . \u201cin reality , georg was a warm and loving if somewhat overwhelmed father . it was actually maria herself , \u201d santopietro writes , \u201cwith her emotionally stunted upbringing , who needed thawing . \u201d johannes von trapp told the bbc that his father was \u201ca very charming man , generous , open , and not the martinet he was made out to be both in the stage play and in the film . my mother did try to alter that portrayal for the film , but she was not successful . \u201d\nafter the final shot wrapped , the actors were told that they needed to redo the finale , rosemary clooney recalled in the dvd extras . the king and queen of greece were visiting the set and the producer hoped to\ngive them something to remember .\nso the entire scene was\nreshot\n\u2014 but without film in the camera or bing crosby , who had already left to play golf .\nafter astaire and crosby ' s success in holiday inn , this film was intended to reunite them . but astaire had\nretired\nby the time white christmas was shot 12 years later and he declined . then , the part was offered to donald o ' connor ( known for singin ' in the rain ) but he pulled out after an illness . then , the part was reworked for danny kaye .\ninar wegener would kill himself in the spring . he had chosen a date \u2013 may 1 , 1930 \u2013 after a year spent in torment . the cause of his suffering was quite simple : he was sure he was a woman , born into the wrong body . or perhaps it was more complicated : sometimes wegener , whose life is soon to be portrayed on film by the oscar - winning british actor eddie redmayne in\njohn wayne was born may 26 , 1907 , in winterset , iowa . he received his first leading film role in the big trail ( 1930 ) . working with john ford , he got his next big break in in stagecoach ( 1939 ) . his career as an actor took another leap forward when he worked with director howard hawks in red river ( 1948 ) . wayne won his first academy award in 1969 . he died of cancer in 1979 .\nwinning a football scholarship to university of southern california ( usc ) , wayne started college in the fall of 1925 . he joined the sigma chi fraternity and continued to be a strong student . unfortunately , after two years , an injury took him off the football field and ended his scholarship . while in college , wayne had done some work as a film extra , appearing as a football player in brown of harvard ( 1926 ) and drop kick ( 1927 ) .\nson of timothy west and prunella scales , samuel began his career with a bafta nomination for 1991 film howard\u2019s end . he\u2019s since appeared in films notting hill , iris , van helsyng and hyde park on hudson , as well as tv series cambridge spies , any human heart and jonathan strange & mr norrell , plus a string of stage roles . amy beth hayes made her screen debut in doctor who and has been in tv series whatever it takes , misfits , the syndicate and black mirror .\npeggy lane , a chorus girl , finds a small part in a new show for david north , a stagestruck country boy . at rehearsal , david meets delerys devore , the show ' s star , and she quickly offers him a larger part in her act . quite taken with david , delerys invites him to her home on the pretext that peggy will be there ; when peggy does not show up , david leaves , infuriating his hostess . derelys has peggy fired the next day , and in reprisal peggy goads her into a carmenesque fight backstage just before the show . derelys is unable to go on stage , and peggy takes her place , becoming the hit of the show . peggy and david are later married and give up show business , deciding to live on a farm .\nas betty haynes , rosemary clooney plays vera - ellen ' s older sister in the movie , but she was actually seven years younger . when the film came out , clooney was 26 , and vera - ellen , 33 . even more striking ? bing crosby , who plays her love interest , was 51 when the movie debuted . that ' s a 25 - year - age gap ! ( it ' s also funny to note that dean jagger , who played the retired , elderly general was actually born a few months after crosby . )\na well - known conservative and anticommunist , wayne merged his personal beliefs and his professional life in 1952 & apos ; s big jim mclain . he played an investigator working for the u . s . house un - american activities committee , which worked to root out communists in all aspects of public life . off screen , wayne played a leading role in the motion picture alliance for the preservation of american ideals and even served as its president for a time . the organization was a group of conservatives who wanted to stop communists from working in the film industry , and other members included gary cooper and ronald reagan .\nwayne made his directorial debut with the alamo ( 1960 ) . starring in the film as davy crockett , he received decidedly mixed reviews for both his on - and off - screen efforts . wayne received a much warmer reception for the man who shot liberty valance ( 1962 ) with jimmy stewart and lee marvin and directed by john ford . some other notable films from this period include the longest day ( 1962 ) and how the west was won ( 1962 ) . continuing to work steadily , wayne refused to even let illness slow him down . he successfully battled lung cancer in 1964 . to defeat the disease , wayne had to have a lung and several ribs removed .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\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\nearly women filmmakers : an international anthology ( 1902 - 1943 ) . films by blach\u00e9 , weber , dulac and more ! available from amazon\nirvin willat\u2019s behind the door ( 1919 ) starring hobart bosworth , jane novak and wallace beery . available from amazon\nthere is a single lengthy scene of strong sex . this includes close shots of a man ' s hand on a woman ' s breast , sight of a woman ' s head pushed down towards a man ' s crotch , and a waist - up view of woman on top of man , implying that sex is taking place . the scene also includes some strong verbal sex references , such as\ni ' m gonna swallow you whole\nand\nsuck my dick , bitch\n. the duration of the scene and the level of visual and verbal detail exceeds the terms of the ' 12a ' / ' 12 ' guidelines , where ' sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed ' but is permissible at ' 15 ' where ' sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail . there may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour ' .\nif you would like to receive regular mailings about bbfc resources , workshops , advance information about events and recent classifications or decisions which we think you may be interested in please complete the form below .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nplease write a description for this profile . this is the text that will appear on the about page and should be a description of what this topic is . for people , this would include a biography , including a description of their early life and career ;

she certainly depicted women with women in her erotic drawings .\ns the years passed , wegener became increasingly unwell and depressed ; she applied to doctors for help , but they responded with \u201cheadshakings\u201d and \u201cdisdain\u201d . some diagnosed her as hysterical , others as gay . \u201ci said to myself that as my case has never been known in the history of the medical art , it simply did not exist , it simply could not exist , \u201d she wrote .\nwegener lived at the dawn of understanding of human sex and gender . in 1918 , magnus hirschfeld , a german physician who also founded the world\u2019s first gay rights organisation , opened the institute for sexual research in berlin . having spent the previous 30 years documenting the experiences of homosexual men and women around the world , hirschfeld\u2019s intention was to turn sexology into a rigorous academic discipline . it was hirschfeld who came up with the term \u201ctranssexualismus\u201d for those who wanted to become , rather than simply appear to be , a different sex . ( this is distinct from being transgendered , which does not necessarily imply a desire for physical transformation . )\nat the turn of the century , doctors had conducted experiments which aimed to work out the biological basis for gender in animals . professor steinach of vienna grafted ovaries into male rats castrated in infancy , and noted the growth of breasts and nipples . when they reached puberty , these \u201cfeminised\u201d animals showed no interest in females in heat , and did not display male mating behaviour . the reverse , meanwhile , was true of female rats whose ovaries had been replaced with testicular grafts . only decades later would scientists isolate , and ultimately synthesise , the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone .\nhe procedures by which the then - 47 - year - old wegener became elbe are not precisely known , partly because the library and archive of the institute for sexual research were destroyed by the nazis in may 1933 . in the biography man into woman , which incorporates many of wegener / elbe\u2019s diary entries and letters , as well as conversations with the book\u2019s \u201ceditor\u201d , niels hoyer , details are elusive .\ncertainly she underwent a series of operations at the dresden clinic of kurt warnekros \u2013 a doctor described breathlessly in the book as a man of limitless masculine potency , lili\u2019s saviour and creator . these cost around 5000 kroner \u2013 around \u00a312 , 000 in today\u2019s money \u2013 which wegener raised by selling off a number of paintings .\naside from the fatal womb transplant , and the removal of wegener\u2019s testicles and penis , the ovaries of a young woman were also grafted into wegener\u2019s body . ( elbe suggests in her memoir that when she was operated on , an existing pair of shrunken ovaries was found in her body . )\nili\u2019s new surname , elbe , was chosen for the river which flows through the city of her rebirth . after her initial operations , she seesawed between a feeling of astonished joy and moments of deep despair , when she feared she would never be accepted by the world at large . many of wegener\u2019s male friends refused to see her , and she had the sense that she had \u201cmurdered\u201d einar . she abandoned painting , rejecting it as a relic of her former existence , and found herself increasingly detached from memories of einar\u2019s life .\ner past life was disappearing into a fog . the danish king agreed to annul her marriage to gerda , and their divorce became official on october 6 1930 . ( gerda later remarried an italian officer who burned through her savings ; she died penniless in 1940 . ) lili was granted a passport in her new name . when she visited her sympathetic older brother , she told him that she could no longer remember where their parents were buried . perhaps , she felt , she had no father and mother at all .\nwe urge you to turn off your ad blocker for the telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future .\nit ' s the third time bing sang\nwhite christmas\non screen .\nthe title track was originally performed by bing crosby 13 years earlier , on the radio show the kraft music hall . then , he sang it in irving berlin ' s 1942 classic , holiday inn ( above ) , as well as blue skies in 1946 . this one is still our favorite , though .\ngeneral waverly ' s columbia inn in fictional pine tree , vermont , made it ' s debut a decade before , in holiday inn . the set on the paramount lot was refurbished for the next christmas classic .\nwhen the character judy haynes sings , the parts were all recorded by costar rosemary clooney or singer trudy stevens . the only time vera ' s real singing voice is heard is when they disembark the train in vermont and the quartet sing the opening lines of\nsnow .\nvera - ellen started dancing at age 10 . and at 18 , she had become one of the youngest radio city rockettes , performing in several broadway shows before heading to hollywood . fun tidbit : growing up in norwood , ohio , a suburb of cincinnati , she carpooled to dancing classes with doris day !\nthe iconic scene when bob tells betty his theory of what foods cause which dreams was almost completely improvised , according to rosemary clooney .

first century ) , a throwback to the breadwinning - male / domestic - female 1950s norm\u2014the proverbial haven in a heartless world . but , in actuality , the film soon makes clear that this is unequivocally the post - millennial surveillance society . other people are always present .\nwarning : major spoilers for star wars : the force awakens ahead . i loved the film . seriously , i did . and yet it also has more plot holes than any film i ' ve ever seen , which makes the reviews it ' s getting pretty irksome . why can ' t we just admit that bb - 8 is adorable , finn is hilarious , rey is badass , seeing han and chewie again was awesome , the special effects were tremendous , poe is soloesque , kylo ren is intriguing , and this movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever ?\nthe landlord becomes much more than a lascivious spectator toward the end of the film , which leads to one of my major complaints : three healthy young people in their late twenties , it seems , are no match for an elderly man who clearly has trouble walking for much of the film . at one point , moreover , one of those late - twenty - somethings seems utterly unable to dial 911 given what must have been a good five - minute opportunity to do so ( and that was after we were forced to accept the premise that a house in a suburban neighborhood somehow only gets cell service outside , by the pool ) .\nmarie - france is all smiles at first , though there are early signs she\u2019s totally off her rocker . but even if thomas is a bit put off by his assistant\u2019s passive - aggressive attitude , he\u2019s willing to work with her . ( as a rule , french secretaries tend to be bossier than their bosses . ) on the other hand , the fact that he doesn\u2019t recognize marie - france as the dead boy\u2019s mother requires a major suspension of disbelief \u2013 as do several other aspects of ali\u2019s well - paced if somewhat ludicrous original screenplay .\nas the film goes on , though , it does lose some of its power . the scorned - mistress plot develops as you would expect , albeit in such a lackluster fashion that i found myself longing for glenn close and the lofty strains of madame butterfly . other - woman hannah ( sarah baldwin ) never really seems much of a threat .\nentertaining and provocative , our brand is crisis is a satirical political drama . the story follows a political strategist who ' s recruited to help the campaign of a bolivian presidential candidate , and decides that in order to win they ' ll have to convince the people that the country is in a crisis . featuring sandra bullock , joaquim de almeida , billy bob thornton , and zoe kazan , the film has an impressive cast . and , the writing does a pretty good job at avoiding specific issues , focusing instead on political campaigning in general . however , the plot takes a strange turn at the end , suddenly becoming serious and moralistic . it ' s a little unfocused and has some storytelling issues , but our brand is crisis is still an interesting and enjoyable film .\nbelow are 40 plot holes in the force awakens . a few are trifling , but most are pretty damning . all of them were entirely unnecessary - - given the amount of time put into this film , the number of people who worked on it , and the amount of money everyone involved in it knew it stood to make - - and in this respect can be deemed unforgivable .\nin no small way , \u201cthe wait\u201d serves as an exploration of faith . deliberately ambiguous , the film ends without ever having given a clear answer on what happened to giuseppe . messina even goes so far as to cast an actor , giovanni anzaldo , in the role for a few scenes that we can reasonably assume take place exclusively in anna\u2019s head .\n37 . if basically everyone in the galaxy knows the force is not a myth - - for instance , every single stormtrooper in the first order , who has seen kylo ren use it or heard tell of him using it ; every single person in the resistance , who knows the resistance is looking for luke skywalker ; every single person in the republic , which was first established in part by the heroism of the jedis - - how is the existence of the force a total shock to rey ? jakku is sheltered , but as we know from the film ( cf . lor san tekka ) there are many people on jakku who either have seen the force first - hand or heard first - hand accounts of it from visitors to the planet .\nthis a super - sorkiny aaron sorkin script\u2014full of the kind of well - timed zingers and clever turns of phrase that never occur to us in real life . rogen gets the best line of all toward the end , one he levels at jobs in a crowded auditorium before the 1998 imac launch : \u201c you can be decent and gifted at the same time . it\u2019s not binary . \u201d with self - conscious beauty and piercing insight , it\u2019s a notion that defines the entire film .\nenter the dorm scene ' s pseudo - managers - - the resident advisors .\nnot least , claire and ryan\u2019s landlord , gerald ( brilliantly played by neville archambault ) , is not only watching them in virtually every room of their house\u2014even in the shower , even from the depths of their toilet bowl \u2014but he lets himself into the house with regularity whenever they\u2019re gone , becoming , with his daily treat of illicit bacon burgers , their dog\u2019s best friend . it turns out , moreover , that ryan is having an affair . his lover ( who is also his assistant ) also ends up penetrating their home ( coming between claire and ryan ) well before she actually walks in the door . ( apparently she has a key too . )\napart from the image of jesus hanging from the cross \u2014 which , incidentally , is the first thing we see in italian director piero messina \u2019s \u201c the wait \u201d \u2014 perhaps the most instantly recognizable scene in all christian art is the pietae , or the lamentation of christ , in which the virgin mary cradles her lifeless son in her arms . while not a religious film per se , messina\u2019s profoundly dolorous debut \u2014 the sort that suits festivals just fine , but makes for depressing arthouse fare \u2014 could easily be seen as the visually gifted director\u2019s reinterpretation of this iconic moment , casting juliette binoche ( since \u201cblue , \u201d cinema\u2019s most gifted griever ) as a mother awaiting the return ( or resurrection ? ) of her absent son .\ndanny boyle \u2019s thrilling film , which takes place behind the scenes at three key product launches during the late jobs\u2019 career , begins with the apple co - founder freaking out minutes before introducing the macintosh in 1984 because his team couldn\u2019t get it to say \u201chello . \u201d it was nitpicky and obsessive\u2014qualities he was famous for\u2014but he was also onto something , as we now know : this idea of technology serving as a constant and comforting companion .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\n11 . kylo ren is the head of the knights of ren , but there are no other knights of ren in the movie .\nwhich isn\u2019t to say the film lacks humor , and the lead performance can be playfully tongue - in - cheek until it flies off the rails \u2013 along with everything else \u2013 during a head - scratching , head - bludgeoning finale . french box office could nonetheless be uplifted by baye\u2019s local appeal , especially among older crowds , while hollywood might want to remake this as an aarp - friendly take on reservation road .\nthe nevada department of education , assisted by the united states department of agriculture implement the universal program for every student , regardless of need .\ndirector / producer john goldschmidt ' s productions have won and been nominated for many awards including : british academy award ( bafta ) , silver bear - berlin film festival , prix italia award - rai prize - music , golden nymph - monte carlo , silver nymph - monte carlo ( twice ) , cine de luca award - monte carlo , fernsehpreis der oesterreichischen volksbildung , german cinema owner ' s prize , silver hugo - chicago film festival , royal television society award , international emmy award - nomination , prix italia award - nomination for drama , cable ace award ( us ) - nomination .\n16 . by the end of the movie , the impression is left that every single first order soldier is dead besides supreme leader snoke , general hux , and kylo ren . that probably won ' t turn out to be the case , but the fact that we ' re given this impression makes the climactic discovery of luke on an isolated island entirely irrelevant . after all , what need does the resistance have of luke now ? why should anyone care , at this point , if he ' s found ? because there are two bad dudes left in the entire galaxy , one of whom only shows up anywhere as a hologram ? and okay , let ' s say , for the sake of argument , that there are millions more first order soldiers elsewhere in the galaxy ; isn ' t it strange that the film gives absolutely no indication whatsoever that this is the case ?\n8 . it ' s okay that poe survived a tie fighter crash ; after all , so did finn . but has any film ever cared less about ( a ) giving the false impression a character has died , and then ( b ) having that character show up later with no one being surprised by it ? even finn doesn ' t seem to care very much what the explanation is .\na mother protects her stepdaughter after the teenager witnesses the murder of her best friend , but is soon forced to come to grips with the terrifying possibility that her stepdaughter may be the real killer .\nmiller , who also admitted criminal trespass , yesterday accepted a plea deal which saw him sentenced to two years behind bars plus eight years of probation and a $ 20 , 000 ( \u00a313 , 250 ) fine , according to deadline . jody savin , miller\u2019s wife and collaborator , walked free from the court in wayne county , georgia , under the terms of the deal , despite having faced near - identical charges over the death of jones , 27 . both film - makers had initially pleaded not guilty .\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\n39 . why would the first order spend untold quadrillions of [ insert unit of money here ] to build the starkiller base , when a similar concept and design plan had twice before been destroyed with minimal difficulty by the rebels ? and doesn ' t the recurrence of this tactical error for the third time in the ( relatively ) brief history of the empire / first order suggest that everyone in the first order who was involved in the construction of starkiller base , at every level of management and authority , should be instantly shot in the head ? ( of course , it ' s too late for that by the end of the film , but still . ) how positively brain - dead is snoke to have learned literally nothing from history ? and for those who say that clearly a solar - powered death star is way better than a non - solar - powered death star , well , clearly not !\ndespite the earnest efforts put in by the oscar - winning leads , our brand is crisis doesn ' t give you enough to make you want to care for the characters , let alone the story .\ncraig\u2019s fourth outing as the british spy opens in the uk on 23 october and worldwide two weeks later .\nafter a fire breaks out in the dorm , olivia and her team are put on trial by the administration .\n10 . for that matter , why is it made to seem like the entire republic is centered in just one star system ? let alone one whose planets and moons are all visible to one another with the naked eye ? isn ' t the republic intergalactic ? and why did the first order choose to destroy all the planets and moons visible from maz kanata ' s home - world , but then initiate a conventional invasion of the latter planet ? why not just fire one more planet - killing beam and destroy kanata ' s planet too ? because not doing that leads to a significant military defeat for the first order that was totally avoidable . and another thing : if the republic is in power , why is the resistance the\nresistance\n? what are they resisting ? isn ' t the first order the\nresistance ,\nas they ' re resisting the hegemony of the republic ? it ' s like someone on -

a - tat patter but also making it sing . but because the movie takes place almost entirely within interiors , the non - stop walking - and - talking\u2014back and forth through hallways , up and down stairways and in and out of doorways\u2014almost plays like a parody of sorkin\u2019s style , the kind of thing we saw when \u201cthe west wing\u201d was at its peak .\nthe s\u00f6lden shoot featured last week in the first official shots and footage of spectre to be released . craig was shown firing a pistol in a short video , with seydoux wrapped in regulation bond girl furs and a number of snowmobiles also seen on set . associate producer gregg wilson promised that austria would be the site of \u201cone of the major action sequences of the movie , a jewel in the crown so to speak\u201d .\nthanks to boyle\u2019s typically kinetic direction , \u201csteve jobs\u201d is certainly never boring . it rarely takes a breath and is crammed with high -

user , fights a light saber duel with an ex - janitor who has never held a light saber and yet ( a ) never uses the force on his opponent , though doing so would have ended the duel immediately , and ( b ) barely wins the fight , suggesting that he is simultaneously one of the least strategic wielders of the force the dark side has ever seen and , despite his training , absolutely terrible with a light saber . none of this stops kylo ren from designing and building his own , completely impractical cross - barred lightsaber .\n4 . rey becomes nearly as effective a force - user in a few hours as luke skywalker did in a few years . 5 . just minutes before starkiller base explodes , supreme leader snoke tells hux to go get kylo ren and take him off the planet . unfortunately , ren had recently ( unbeknownst to hux ) run into the woods like a lunatic , leaving no information about his whereabouts . it ' s no problem , though , because hux apparently has special kylo ren gps and ( one assumes ) goes right to the spot in the middle of the forest where ren is bleeding to death ; otherwise , ren would have died on the planet along with everybody else from the first order .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nthe movie is funny enough to get its share of laughs but , in its angry heart , it ' s a tragedy - and the saddest part is that too much of this story is true .\n23 . why do rey and finn just stand by watching as ren murders han ? they didn ' t know ren was han ' s son , so the drama on the catwalk must have looked absolutely bizarre to them . why didn ' t they think to fire even a single blaster shot down at ren ( given that he was just standing there on the catwalk ) until - - from their vantage - point , with the knowledge they had at the time , entirely predictably - - ren killed han ?\n14 . finn is an ex - janitor who goes awol from a stormtrooper force numbering in the tens of thousands . yet he is absolutely convinced , despite being someone of no importance whatsoever to the first order , that he will be chased across the galaxy for having defected . apparently , there ' s a premium on janitors in this quadrant of the galaxy . sure , finn killed some people during his escape , but doesn ' t the first order emphasize with every tactical decision it makes that it considers its soldiers thoroughly expendable , and don ' t they quite obviously have much bigger fish to fry during the events of the force awakens than to worry about finn ? why wouldn ' t this be obvious to him ?\nas he is driving his wife to the maternity ward , thomas runs over and kills a young man on the road . marie - france , the mother , will not get over the mourning of her lost son . nine years have passed . marie - france has become thomas ' secretary and dangerously starts to interfere into his life , with one idea in mind : to get closer to his son . . .\nin its vision of a home that is far from a safe and impermeable haven , 13 cameras not only suggests the home invasion horror sub - genre but also supernatural films like the paranormal activity franchise . indeed , repeated shots of ryan and claire\u2019s pool with what looks like some sort of cleaning device seem explicitly to reference paranormal activity 2 , with its numerous security cameras positioned around the house , including one overlooking the pool .\n2 . the wily han solo loses track of his most prized possession , the millennium falcon , for more than a dozen years . he has no idea where it is - - in the entire galaxy . when you lose something in your house , that ' s bad ; when you lose something on your planet , you kiss it goodbye but pray for a miracle ; when you lose something in the entire galaxy , you just get on with your life . and yet , less than a minute after rey begins piloting the millennium falcon , han looks out the window of his freighter and says ,\noh , there it is .\nproduction on midnight rider , a biopic of southern rocker gregg allman , was shut down in the wake of the accident on an active railroad trestle bridge high over the altamaha river in wayne county , georgia . jones died when a train hit a metal frame bed that had been placed on the track as part of a dream sequence featuring william hurt as allman on the first day of filming . hurt and miller were among cast and crew members who escaped unharmed , but jones was knocked beneath the vehicle . her death has galvanised safety campaigners in hollywood , with a number of initiatives since introduced to improve conditions and encourage whistleblowers to report rogue operators .\n6 . the reason ren was slowly bleeding to death - - instead of being dead by rey ' s hand - - is that a massive a chasm had just miraculously opened up in the several feet between the two of them . such bad timing for rey ! ( damn you , deus - ex - geology ! )\nhe later told the los angeles times : \u201cwe were never seeking revenge . we were always seeking accountability . \u201d\na crosscutting opening shows earnest urban planner , thomas ( malik zidi ) , racing to the hospital with his girlfriend ( sabrina seyvecou ) , who\u2019s about to give birth . on the way , their car hits a young man , killing him on the spot and leaving his mother , marie - france ( baye ) , a grieving mess .\n15 . let ' s be clear : han ' s son joins the first order , and luke ' s attempts to train new jedis goes horribly wrong , and both men respond to these setbacks by , well , abandoning the resistance to be utterly slaughtered by the first order . luke chills on an island , and han on a smuggler ' s freighter , while untold thousands or millions of innocents are killed by the order . can we even comprehend how pissed leia would be at both of them , and how cowardly leia ( at least the leia we see in the first three films ) would consider them both ? and yet she seems only mildly peeved at luke , and , despite han implying otherwise , is almost entirely happy to see him when he turns up at the resistance stronghold .\nhaving said that , if you don\u2019t know a whole lot about steve jobs going into \u201csteve jobs , \u201d \u201csteve jobs\u201d isn\u2019t about to go out of its way to help you . if you don\u2019t know about the garage in los altos , ca where it all began , or his lengthy and tangled friendship with wozniak , the potential for exploring the complexities of jobs\u2019 personality might be lost on you . an excellent companion piece would be alex gibney \u2019s recent documentary , \u201c steve jobs : the man in the machine , \u201d which covers much of the same ground , but more thoroughly . ( you\u2019re welcome to ignore the 2013 biopic \u201c jobs \u201d starring ashton kutcher , if you haven\u2019t already . but it is rather telling that jobs\u2019 life has inspired three separate features in just a couple of years . )\neventually , marie - france manages to make friends with thomas\u2019s son , leo ( jean - stan du pac ) , as well as with his widowed father , eric ( johan leysen ) . soon enough , the latter falls in love with the icy and seductive woman , who offers him another stab at love during his golden years \u2013 \u201cstab\u201d being the key word here , since it doesn\u2019t take marie - france long to try and take out the entire family .\ni was excited to see the appearance of this show on hulu . i immediately thought of shows like undeclared and the national lampoon ' s college movies . i watched all of it within a couple of days and it got a bit better with time . at first i didn ' t think it was all that funny and there were only a few laugh out loud moments . but i like the main cast , including the newcomers enough to hope for a second season . the writing wasn ' t very original but it still kept my attention . 7 episodes seemed like enough and if you watch all of them the back story from previous episodes pays off in the final episode . to micah the one star reviewer : it sounds like you were expecting a documentary from a fictional comedy show . i got quite a laugh and felt a bit bad at the same time . seeing that you watch a comedy series about resident advisors and expect it to be strictly by the book made me wonder what else you may have given poor reviews based on lack of authenticity . of course they weren ' t writing this with a true story in mind . it wouldn ' t have been funny in the slightest . at first i thought you were joking until i continued reading . do all fictional comedies enrage you ?

. a doll\u2019s house , part 2 , lucas hnath\u2019s sequel to henrik ibsen\u2019s groundbreaking play about a woman daring to leave her husband and children , has opened on broadway\u2014and it\u2019s a new nora who has walked through the door .\nstyle and the durability of gender roles the question of whether or not to consider the doll\u2019s house films as period dramas or as contemporary narratives can also be understood as an aesthetic concern . there are connections between , for example , nazimova\u2019s acting in her 1922 film and other aspects of the film , such as set and costume design . several reviews mention that the costume design ( by natacha rambova ) suggests that it is a contemporary story . this view is also reflected in interpretations of nazimova\u2019s performance . as louis reeves harrison states in moving picture world :\n2013 : nora , british film with hattie morahan in the title role . this short film was released by london\u2019s young vic

for by an online user for 25 , 000 but things turn out to be totally different then expected .\ntaught in literature classes and performed in drama schools , a doll\u2019s house continues to be frequently revived and hotly debated by theater folk and academics . in 2006 , the centennial of ibsen\u2019s death , it was the most performed play of the year .\na doll\u2019s house was so shocking that ibsen reluctantly wrote a different ending in which torvald helmer forces nora into the doorway of their children\u2019s nursery as they sleep , rendering her seemingly unable to leave . ibsen described it as \u201ca barbaric act of violence\u201d that was \u201cabsolutely contrary to my wishes . \u201d\n1918 : silent film with elsie ferguson as nora and holmes herbert as torvald . directed

carl ebert as torvald . berthold viertel directed .\nin contrast to nazimova , elsie ferguson had a background in musical comedy . this background was commented upon in connection with her dance scene in tourneur\u2019s 1918 doll\u2019s house film . explaining the appeal of dance and the female body in this scene , the moving picture world stated : \u201cpossessed of an exceptional voice , blessed by nature with beauty of face and symmetry of figure , and displaying unusual grace as a dancer , miss ferguson might today be known as a queen of musical comedy if the call of her ambition had not led her into emotional dramatic channels . \u201d [ 16 ]\nfirst performed in 1879 , a doll\u2019s house presented radically critical views of 19th - century marriage . while insisting that the work was not deliberately intended to support the women\u2019s rights movement , ibsen said the play was inspired by his belief that \u201ca woman cannot be herself in modern society , \u201d because it is \u201can exclusively male society , with laws made by men and with prosecutors and judges who assess feminine conduct from a masculine standpoint . \u201d\neirik frisvold hanssen is head of section for film and broadcasting in the department of research and dissemination at the national library of norway . he has a phd in cinema studies from stockholm university ( 2006 ) and has published on colour and cinema , visual culture , and classical film theory in various edited volumes and journals such as\n1943 : casa de mu\u00f1ecas , argentinian film with delia garc\u00e9s as nora and george

:\na wealthy woman ' s attempts to help her financially troubled husband go unrewarded .\nall the way , a midsummer night\u2019s dream , a wrinkle in time , the intelligent design of jenny chow , a christmas carol , tartuffe .\nthe film adaptations of a doll\u2019s house were produced at a moment in the reception of ibsen ( at the end of the \u201cprogressive era\u201d ) where the limitations of his \u201cwomen\u2019s plays\u201d were being considered , not only by film critics ( who , in the material i have studied , are predominantly male ) , discussing the various adaptations of the play , but also on a more general level in contemporary feminist debate . along with arguing for ibsen\u2019s diminished relevance to discourses on the position of women and gender relations in early twentieth - century modernity , contemporary reviews emphasized the individual performances of the lead actresses in the films , and linked their diverging acting styles to specific cultural and national contexts and backgrounds . perceived in individual rather than collective terms , and disassociated from inter - or transnational feminist issues , such readings of the characters and their gender relations seem to have diminished the political potential of the films .\nmost audiences and critics in 1879 were appalled . m . v . brun wrote of the play\u2019s conclusion in folkets avis ( copenhagen\u2019s \u201cthe people\u2019s paper\u201d ) :\n2018 : forthcoming film adaptation is set against the backdrop of the current economic crisis , with ben kingsley as doctor rank and michele martin as nora . charles huddleston is set to direct .\nharrison thus indicates that nora\u2019s behaviour is still unacceptable . the majority of the reviews in the material i have had access to have been written by men . in fact , the only writing that i have found that claims that the play still has relevance is by a female writer , adele whitely fletcher . as the editor of motion picture magazine , reviewing the nazimova film , she writes : \u201caltho [ sic ] ibsen wrote \u201cthe doll\u2019s house\u201d in the latter half of the nineteenth century , it is particularly pertinent today . as a matter of fact , he was undoubtedly premature in his conception of nora , the woman who demands her right to be an individual before and above everything else . \u201d [ 26 ]\ndemonstrating the zeal of the convert , nora at times comes across a little too strongly in a dolls house , part 2 . but given all she\u2019s achieved and all she can lose , who can blame her ? the woman has completely transformed her life , but she hasn\u2019t accomplished it without repercussions .\nhow did cinnamon come to join your family ? she was a foster - to - adoption success , correct ? yes , it\u2019s a love story , and a great story i love to tell because i wasn\u2019t looking for a dog ; she literally showed up one day at my house and climbed into my lap . she reminded me of a dog i fell in love with one summer when i lived in malibu .\n\u200bthat\u2019s a hard call . part of shakespeare\u2019s genius to me means that i respond differently to his plays at different life stages . in reflecting on this now , i found myself thinking a lot about\ndiffering considerably from henrik ibsen ' s classic play , the basic story of a woman who forges her father ' s name and comes to grief therefore is retained .\nduring what she says is the first serious talk she and torvald ever had , she informs him , \u201ci have existed merely to perform tricks for you , torvald . but you wanted it like that . you and father have committed a great sin against me . it is your fault that i have made nothing of my life . our home has been nothing but a playroom . i have been your doll - wife , just as at home i was father\u2019s doll - child ; and here the children have been my dolls . \u201d\nthe evening\u2019s signature cocktail was \u201cthe pirate\u2019s daughter , \u201d which was comprised of tanqueray gin and tonic with cranberry and lime juice , a fitting libation to honor the bard of avon .\ni guess it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that actors love stories about actors ! and this story is almost a fan - fiction interpretation of shakespeare\u2019s writing\u2014it creates a fun and loose world in which to play .\nwhen the bell rings , junie b . runs off to gather her coat and mittens . and that\u2019s when she notices something terrible\u2014something that\u2019s even more terrible than being called a nutball . her mittens are gone . 911 ! someone stole junie b . \u2019s black furry mittens !\nwhile the reed is soaking , draw out the farthingale ' s size and shape on plywood and hammer in a lot of nails around the perimeter ( like a fence ) .\nit was an iconic , modern film and the greatest love story ever written\u2014combined ! and , the chance to speak the words of both romeo and juliet ! heaven ! somewhat ironically , i rarely have had the opportunity to work on british plays , so it ' s been wonderful to embody a character in my mother tongue and whom i can relate to on an instinctual , gut level .\n( plus , i\u2019m an alumnus of the theatre conservatory\u2019s acting intensive program ) .\nbecause it\u2019s hilarious and utterly absurd , yet relatable , on so many levels .\ndirector beth lopes makes her scr debut with the production . of junie b . , lopes says : \u201cshe\u2019s a clever , lovable oddball who is firmly in control of her own universe . that\u2019s not to say she isn\u2019t flawed , which is one of the best parts about junie b . jones is not a crook . the story teaches us that you can be a good person and still make mistakes . \u201d author barbara park also observed that junie b . \u2019s imperfections are part of what makes her so relatable to children and adults alike . \u201ci\u2019ve never been sure whether junie b . \u2019s fans love her in spite of her imperfections\u2026or because of them , \u201d park told publisher random house . \u201cbut either way , she\u2019s gone out into the world and made more friends than i ever dreamed possible . \u201d\n. though it\u2019s a fabricated story , i believe it reveals the real struggles of being a writer and creating something . but i think the best part is the humor with which it\u2019s done , particularly for theatre people . there are so many great inside jokes about the theatre and nods to so many of shakespeare ' s plays . i love that !\nfor its theme of forgiveness and redemption . \u200bsince it ' s generally accepted by scholars to be shakespeare ' s last written play , the character of prospero giving up his art at the end of the play parallels shakespeare ' s own , saying goodbye as a playwright by giving up the quill . that last speech of prospero always reduces me to a puddle .\nbecause it\u2019s such a beautifully crafted story of one person\u2019s trial through his own personal loss of faith ( winter ) . yet wonderful shakespeare , he notes that after winter there is always rebirth in hopeful spring . \u200banother favorite is\nit\u2019s inspiring , and yet disheartening to hear nora speak of her hope for the future . that future , of course , embraces our present . nora has arrived on broadway at a time when women\u2019s rights are being threatened by the recently elected trump administration . it\u2019s not the the future she has worked for .\nduring the 1910s both psychological realism and the naturalistic acting style of the \u201cnew drama\u201d influenced american cinema . however , ben brewster and lea jacobs have argued that the influence of naturalist acting techniques were not as pronounced as asserted in some studies , in particular with regards to the restraining of pictorial effects in silent film . they state : \u201cnaturalist theatre was famously wordy , and to some extent the emphasis on the language compensated for the opacity of gesture and action typical of the acting style . it required considerable sophistication to adapt it to the new medium . \u201d [ 8 ] the challenges of adapting ibsen to the screen were referred to in a moving picture world review of a doll\u2019s house starring dorothy phillips . as the reviewer explains , \u201cthe absence of the theatrical in the ibsen method and the difficulty of conveying the fine shades of meaning in the dialogue without the aid of speech render the task of the actors in the cast doubly hard . \u201d [ 9 ] to portray nora on the screen was understood as a demand that specifically tested the performance skills of the individual actress .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthis is my debut\u200b . i am an alumna of the theatre conservatory\u2019s acting intensive program .\nfrom that time began her unconscious preparation for cinema art . because she realized that she must play in a new language and that the words as she spoke them might at first mean but little to the audience , she knew she must depend for the most part upon her facial mobility , upon the expressive gestures of body and hands . she studied appearances as well . where the lines of hedda gabler required a tall , dominant personality , she disguised her height by costumes of sweeping lines ; where the buoyant child - wife nora plays with her children in a doll\u2019s house , she used the scant , short gowns that made her seem in truth a child . in master builder she seemed an immature young girl in a sailor suit until the strength of the character of hilda required more dominance , then by clever use of steps , she took command of the scene in appearance as well as in the lines . all this was excellent preparation for the cinema . [ 13 ]\nin order that her husband may retire and recover his health , nora helmer goes to krogstad , a moneylender , and forges her father ' s name to a note . six years later , torvald , her husband , has risen to managership in a bank but refuses to retain krogstad in his employ ; the latter threatens nora with exposure unless she uses her influence in his behalf . in spite of nora ' s efforts , her husband denounces krogstad as a criminal , and in desperation he sends torvald a letter exposing nora ' s forgery . instead of shielding his wife , torvald is infuriated at the blow to his reputation ; however , influenced by mrs . linden , krogstad relents and withdraws his accusation , and all is well . nora , finding her illusions about her marriage shattered , perceives the truth about her doll - like existence and asserts her right to live her own life .\ni have had the pleasure of being the stunt double for katie lowes ( \u201cquinn perkins\u201d ) on tv\u2019s \u201cscandal\u201d for the past five seasons . some other recent projects include\nbaskets ,\nbetter things ,\ncurb your enthusiasm ,\nmodern family ,\namerican horror story\nand\ndisjointed .\ni have multiple film credits , too . haley has done some commercial work in the past and has had a few background extra roles on\nmodern family .\nshe\u2019s taking a little break from acting and auditions due to her middle school homework load and soccer schedule . she and i are both represented by urltoken in the commercial department . but enough about us , let\u2019s get back to the real star !\nthe whole crook business begins with a story called \u201conce upon a time my grandfather named frank miller went to the store and he bought me some mittens , \u201d by junie b . jones . once upon a time , junie b . \u2019s grandfather , named frank miller , went to the store and bought her some mittens . junie b . \u2019s new mittens aren\u2019t just any mittens , though . they\u2019re made out of black furry fur and grandpa miller bought them for no good reason\u2014it wasn\u2019t even junie b . \u2019s birthday ! that\u2019s how come she loves that guy very much .\na show like shakespeare in love requires more than 60 costumes that include a minimum of five pieces each , making the overall costumes and garments tally for this production enormous . we recently chatted with scr\u2019s costume shop manager amy hutto to get the lowdown on what it takes to pull off shakespeare in love \u2019s sartorial splendor .\nin the eyes of some , nora is unquestionably selfish and villainous because she left her children without a word\u2014a standard that women are held to , whereas men aren\u2019t . when anne marie mentions nora\u2019s sons and daughter , nora\u2019s immediate response is , \u201cdon\u2019t bring up the children as though that drowns out anything i have to say about why i did what i did and whether what i did was right . is that not enough ? men leave their families\u2014happens all the time\u2026 but if a woman does it \u2013 she\u2019s a monster , and the children are ruined . \u201d\ni grew up writing with actual ink pens at school , so i\u2019m happy with quill and ink . however , given today\u2019s paper , i also need a ballpoint .\nwhat\u2019s the best part about working on a period piece like shakespeare in love ? what about challenges ? the fact that it\u2019s a period piece . the people who go into theatre costuming want to do period costumes . for the most part , we are not particularly interested in contemporary fashion . that is a different aspect of clothing that will be more interesting to us when it is 20 years old .\nduring the 1910s and early 1920s , around 30 known ibsen adaptations were made in a number of countries . mostly adaptations of stage plays , these films often generated debates in reviews and articles on the differences between cinema , theatre , and literature . in trade press and film discourses of the 1910s , ibsen was a recurring cultural reference , but also an ambivalent and paradoxical one . he is often mentioned as an important source of inspiration with regard to the aesthetic of realism , the use of social themes , and his intricate and precise dramaturgy and plot construction . at the same time , ibsen is also considered old - fashioned , representing an aesthetic to be avoided in cinema , and a set of social themes belonging to a time long passed . ibsen\u2019s stage plays were thus widely understood paradoxically as a model for \u2013 and as the antithesis of \u2013 cinema\u2019s assumed medium specificity .\nwhile some viewed nora\u2019s abandoning her husband and children as \u201cuntruthful , unattractive and unmotivated , \u201d others saw it as uncommonly brave . the issue of whether a woman\u2019s action is \u201cattractive\u201d is , sadly , much too relevant to present - day culture\u2014just ask amy poehler and tina fey .\nnora helmer has years earlier committed a forgery in order to save the life of her authoritarian husband torvald . now she is being blackmailed lives in fear of her husband\u2019s finding out and of the shame such a revelation would bring to his career .\nit\u2019s a celebration of the theatre and is accessible to all . audiences familiar with shakespeare ' s life and work will love the inside jokes . those less familiar will enjoy the comic characters , story and production values . hopefully , they will be inspired to read and see more shakespeare plays .\n( off -

to - do housewife and mother of three children , nora lives a comfortable life of privilege .\nshe makes a valid and timeless point . mothers\u2019 expected levels of responsibility continue to be much higher than those of fathers . though nora says abandoning her children was the hardest part of leaving her life behind , hnath never implies she should have stayed . in contrast to ibsen\u2019s nora , who built a web of lies entangling everyone around her , hnath\u2019s nora is bracingly honest .\nas nora\u2019s story unfolds , hidden financial problems emerge and she is blackmailed by krogstad , a lowly employee at the bank where torvald has just been promoted to manager . she also experiences a transformative epiphany about her life , and , more specifically , her marriage .\nnora helmer has years earlier committed a forgery in order to save the life of her authoritarian husband torvald . now she is being blackmailed lives in fear of her husband ' s finding out and of the shame such a revelation would bring to his career . but when the truth comes out , nora is shocked to learn where she really stands in her husband ' s esteem .\nbased on the ibsen play , a drama centered on a woman married to an overbearing husband , set against the backdrop of the current economic crisis .\nafter deciding how large a diameter the skirt base should be , get a piece of reed about \u00be\u200b -

dozen - strong cast for shakespeare in love . the ensemble is a mix of new and returning faces and includes a couple who met a decade ago while doing another play , two scr alums whose specialty license plates attest to their love of things elizabethan and shakespearean , a the walking dead alumnus and a heart - melting canine .\nfirst night attendees and honorary producers jean and tim weiss found shakespeare in love to be highly entertaining . \u201ctom stoppard is one of our favorite playwrights , so when we had the chance to underwrite one of his plays ( well , i guess it ' s a bit of a hybrid of authors ) we jumped on it , \u201d they said . \u201c shakespeare in love did not disappoint . with stoppard , it\u2019s like watching a play within a play , which makes it just that much more fun and interesting . this production was one of the most enjoyable and lighthearted plays we\u2019ve seen at scr . the music , the acting ( especially the character actors ) , the set , the directing and the writing were all amazing . it\u2019s the type of production that\u2019s like a big chocolate cake\u2014there are all sorts of layers to enjoy and savor . \u201d\nit ' s so romantic . i love the music and i love all of the inside jokes about the theatre .\nbut she does seem able to inspire acceptance of her actions in her estranged husband , which is a start . reunited momentarily , nora and torvald talk candidly . she remains adamant that she did what she needed to do . she explains herself to him , and he listens . even if he doesn\u2019t completely understand , he hears her , and after she leaves the house again , it is torvald who shuts the door behind her .\nbut now , thanks to the orlando - born playwright hnath , nora is back , and it is very good to see her . played by the formidable laurie metcalf in the play\u2019s broadway premiere at the john golden theatre , she is a single woman , a successful writer , and a loud and proud advocate for women\u2019s rights . as she reunites with anne marie ( jayne houdyshell ) , her former housekeeper and nanny , nora proclaims , \u201ci\u2019ll tell you what : i\u2019m not the same person who left through that door . i\u2019m a very different person . \u201d\ncan ' t find a movie or tv show ? login to create it .\n\u201cncis , \u201d \u201ccsi , \u201d \u201cthe mentalist , \u201d \u201cwithout a trace . \u201d\nher worst problem is a sweet tooth , which makes her husband torvald constantly rebuke her . it is obvious that nora and torvald\u2019s relationship resembles that of a father and daughter more than that of a husband and wife . he calls her his \u201clittle sparrow\u201d and his \u201csquirrel . \u201d in return , she performs for him , playing the role of a light -

[ 12 ] as she continued her career in the us , her challenges with regards to performing in a foreign language are described , in the article accompanying the interview , as a preparation for the cinema :\nalthough i love the notion and romantic feel of a quill and ink , i have to say that , personally , i write with a ballpoint pen and still enjoy the lost art of letter writing .\n. it is a story about the transformation of prince hal , from a rebellious son to the king of england , who faces the burden and responsibility of power . these are themes which continue to resonate today . the play is also one of the four plays to feature mistress quickly as a character !\nthe story brings together such an unlikely and unusual assortment of characters and changes them for the better . and , of course , it\u2019s funny and completely charming .\nwhat nora cannot do herself is get a divorce . the only way she can file for one is to claim that torvald abused her , but she will not stoop to lies or besmirch her husband . emmy ( condola rashad ) , her now - grown daughter , urges nora to fake her own death in order to protect her family\u2019s reputation . again she refuses , saying , \u201ci\u2019m already in a prison if i\u2019m having to rely on torvald to give me a divorce\u2026 . \u201d\namadeus , one man , two guvnors , a christmas carol , taking steps , hamlet , cyrano de bergerac .\nballpoint pen . i would just splatter the ink all over the place if i had to use a quill .\nmy 12 - year old daughter , haley , met \u200bpebbles for the first time at the animal hospital , and took one look at her and said , \u201cmom , she doesn\u2019t look like a pebbles , she looks like a big fat cinnamon roll . let\u2019s name her cinnamon . \u201d so , once we renamed her , we knew she was going to be ours . we didn\u2019t officially finish the adoption paperwork until a month later , right before christmas . i made a facebook announcement about the new addition to our family and , within minutes , she was discovered by my friend lori monnier , the \u200bgeneral \u200bmanager at scr . lori said they were looking for a bulldog and asked if cinnamon wanted to be in a play . the next day , i got an email and a call from joanne denaut , \u200bscr ' s \u200bcasting director , with details about \u200b shakespeare in love and asked if we could come in to meet the director . so after the holidays , haley , cinnamon and i met marc masterson and some of the cast . amy hutto , from the costume department , measured her neck . cinnamon nailed her audition and started rehearsals that week !\nbut the longer junie b . is without her mittens , and the longer she keeps the pen that isn\u2019t hers , the more she begins to wonder : will she ever catch the mitten crook ? is finders keepers really a good rule ? is she actually a nutball ? and , worst of all , is junie b . jones a crook herself ?\nhow does cinnamon get along with her \u200bfellow actors ? she\u2019s super - friendly and approachable , so it didn\u2019t take long to warm up to everyone . adam \u200b [ silver\u200b ] and james [ macewan ] have been great with her in their scenes . elyse \u200b [ mirto\u200b ] , the queen , says she , \u201cvery much likes the dog ! \u201d nick offers to take her out for potty breaks and has her leash during the curtain call . sam \u200b [ maytubby ] on the deck crew also has an english bulldog , so i\u2019ve enjoyed talking with him . cinnamon can be found on the couch in the green room hanging out with the \u200btech \u200bcrew before every show . she\u2019s really getting spoiled . she loves visiting everyone and sniffing around in their dressing rooms . we cruise around and say \u201chello\u201d to our friends in the \u200bbox \u200boffice and \u200bcostume \u200bdepartment . she\u2019s getting lots of love and attention from everyone , especially the prop girls and everyone in the hair / wig room . she\u2019s pretty popular and brings a smile to everyone\u2019s face .\n\u201ci ask openly : is there a mother among thousands of mothers , a wife among thousands of wives , who would act as nora acts , who would leave husband and children and home so she herself first and foremost can become \u2018a human being\u2019 ? and i answer most decidedly : no , absolutely not ! there is not , in her pretentious effort of justification\u2026a single point which justifies her action , and the transformation of her character , which the playwright forces to happen , is so untruthful , unattractive and unmotivated , that we are surprised that a playwright like ibsen will admit paternity . \u201d\nthe final role to be cast in shakespeare in love was that of \u201cspot , \u201d the heart - melting canine who instantly charms audiences every time she walks onstage . we recently spoke with lisa dempsey , cinnamon\u2019s owner , on what it takes to be a stage mom to this lovable , rising star .\nthe embodiment of a true romantic and is fanatical about poetry and the theatre . she begins the play as a somewhat youthful dreamer and , over the course of it , finds her strength and voice as she comes into her full womanhood .\nanyone who has seen my handwriting will be lobbying hard for a word document in 12 - point times new roman font .\nthe humor makes it a joy to perform and especially rewards any shakespeare nerds in the audience . and its lovely use of\nalong with generous laughter , the first night audience showed their appreciation with enthusiastic applause and a standing ovation . it was obvious that theatregoers greatly enjoyed the romantic comedy\u2019s witty repartee and the performances of the talented cast of 23 actors and a dog . led by paul david story as will shakespeare and carmela corbett as lady viola de lesseps , the entire ensemble delivered impressive performances while transporting the audience back to the late 1500s of elizabethan london .\nit\u2019s the peeking behind the stage curtain while enjoying the action onstage . it allows the audience to invest in the drama because we see the cost and risk to the actors and writer involved .\ntammy smith - warnock and i have been doing volunteer work together at memorial care miller children\u2019s & women\u2019s hospital in long beach , calif . , for years . tammy is a photographer and takes pictures of nicu ( neonatal intensive care unit ) babies for our special events . what i didn\u2019t know is that tammy also does volunteer work with animal shelters , taking pictures of rescue dogs for adoptapet . com . i rent my studio apartment to tammy and she had a holiday party there . the next thing i knew , all these people arrived and brought dogs from the rescue organization . when cinnamon ( formerly known as \u201cpebbles\u201d ) arrived , i sat down on the grass and she climbed into my lap . tammy took a few photos of us for the adoption website .\nis closest to my heart . i was fortunate enough to work behind - the - scenes on a fantastic production , directed by our very own marc masterson , and that perspective provided a deep appreciation of its beautiful balance of romance , comedy and magic .\nlive love animal rescue is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) registered nonprofit organization that rescues homeless animals by providing them the necessary medical care , allowing for physical and emotional rehabilitation , finding them their perfect forever homes , and showering them with love throughout their journey , \u201d says lisa dempsey . \u201clive love specializes in rescuing difficult medical and behavior cases and put a great emphasis on not only physical rehabilitation for their rescued dogs , but emotional as well . cinnamon was rescued after she had been abandoned by her owners and dumped at a local dog grooming salon . she was in poor health and had been neglected . i am grateful she has fully recovered thanks to the detailed care live love provided her before she came to me . i intend to donate a portion of cinnamon\u2019s paycheck back to the organization as a thank you . \u201d urltoken\njunie b . jones is not a crook was adapted for the stage by playwright allison gregory and combines storylines from two books , junie b . jones is not a crook and junie b . jones loves handsome warren . it is the second junie b . adaptation by gregory that scr has produced .

my training was in design and technical production . i had managed , and sometimes designed , for several shakespeare \u200bfestivals and repertory companies before coming to scr . theatre was a great discovery for me when i realized it combined all the things i enjoy : reading , art history , researching different times and countries , creating things with my hands and a little psychology .\nwhat does cinnamon seem to like about being onstage ? i don\u2019t know if she knows what\u2019s really going on . maybe she thinks it\u2019s like playing with new friends \u200bwho wear funny clothes . i think she loves the affection from the entire cast and crew . she isn\u2019t frightened by the audience . everyone who sees her in the green room stops to say hello , rub her head or scratch her belly . she\u2019s like the good luck / good karma buddha . she gets treats before act 1 , then dinner after her two scenes . she power - naps at intermission , then gets more treats before her last scene in act 2 . she enjoys duck and mackerel treats , chicken jerky , trader joe\u2019s just chicken and cheddar cheese . i put an extra sardine in her dinner , so , she gets rewarded and is very food - motivated .\nto bring junie b . jones is not a crook to life , lopes has assembled a top - notch creative team and cast . the design team includes keith mitchell ( set ) , kathryn poppen ( costumes ) , karyn d . lawrence ( lighting ) and matt caspary and mark glenn ( sound design ) . together , they have created a bold and colorful physical world , complemented by a whimsical soundscape . the cast of seven is comprised of joseph abrego , rosemary brownlow , paul culos , nicole erb , gio munguia and jasmine st . clair\u2014all of whom make their scr debuts in the production\u2014as well as ann noble , a veteran of many scr theatre for young audiences productions .\n1959 : a live broadcast ( preserved in kinescope ) with julie harris as nora and christopher plummer as torvald . directed by george schaefer .\nit was the first shakespeare play that i was in . i recently had the opportunity to work with british stage veteran maxine peak on some of hamlet ' s soliloquies . it was , and she is , quite amazing !\nat school , junie b . shows her furry mittens to everyone : grace , lucille , ricardo and even meanie jim . but then , during recess , junie b . takes off her coat and mittens\u2014so as not to die from heat perspiration\u2014and sets them aside . she forgets all about them when she sees handsome warren\u2014what a chunk ! \u2014the new boy in room eight . lucille wants handsome warren to be her boyfriend . but neither grace nor junie b . even got a crack at him yet ! the three girls try to impress handsome warren in various ways . grace shows him how fast she can run . lucille shows him her best dance moves . and junie b . tries out her best joke . a really good one . in fact , it\u2019s so good that it sends junie b . straight to the ground in a fit of laughter . but handsome warren seems less impressed . before he leaves , he calls junie b . a nutball .\n\u201c it\u2019s really hard to hear your own voice , and every lie you tell makes your voice harder to hear , and a lot of what we do is lying , \u201d she tells torvald . \u201cespecially when what we want so badly from other people is for them to love us . so i find that i\u2019m best\u2014that i\u2019m my best self if i\u2019m by myself . \u201d\nwhat are you enjoying most about the experience of having cinnamon in \u200bthis play ? i knew this would be a big time commitment , but also a super - fun way to start 2018 ! it\u2019s really an amazing opportunity that again , just fell into my lap . this is an incredible show and i feel honored to be able to be at the right place at the right time . i enjoy knowing that she was the last puzzle piece to make the cast complete . i am also having fun with the extra pampering i can give her . for example , we go to our neighborhood spoiled paws grooming shop for a good ear cleaning , mani / pedi , shampoo / blow - dry . cinnamon and i have our own special wrinkle - care routine . i feel like a clean dog is a happy dog and , if you are going to be on stage , you should look your best ! i hope there might be a future for her with other projects in show business . who knows ? this experience has inspired me to look into animal training and find some connections in the movie industry .\nnora helmer has years earlier committed a forgery in order to save the life of her authoritarian husband torvald . now she is being blackmailed . . .\neach costume has a minimum of \u200bfive pieces , but as you see \u200bfor the \u200bqueen , it can be a lot more than \u200b\u200bthat . our dressers have to track every undershirt , pair of tights , socks , shoes , jewelry and all of the larger garments including as doublets , pumpkin hose and hats ."]}

[ \u2026 ]\ngillian armstrong ' s death defying acts ( the weinstein co . ) is a minor but satisfying entry in the\nwhat if\nhistorical - fantasy genre spoofed in that old snl skit ,\nwhat if george washington had a robot friend ?\nsuch movies wedge imagined characters and events into the lives of historic figures . what if sigmund freud treated sherlock holmes for cocaine addiction ? what if h . g . wells really did build a time machine and jack the ripper got into it and traveled to the present day ? i ' ll admit to a total weakness for this particular brand of baloney . all a\nwhat if\nmovie needs to win me over are some lush costumes and production design , a smart casting choice or two , and a really ridiculous basic idea . death defying acts obliges on all fronts .\ni ' m not sure why i failed to be swept up in all this . period pictures are tricky and this one is so stagey that the past really does seem like another country , where emotions are muffled by time and the events before you can only be viewed from a polite distance . for all the flair with which houdini ' s death - defying acts are filmed , they never come near to raising the pulse rate .\nskiffington recently completed a six - week stint teaching guy pearce how to perform some of harry houdini ' s illusions for a new gillian armstrong movie called death defying acts . he was the consultant on magic for bell shakespeare ' s touring production of the comedy of errors and the disney musical beauty and the beast . when pamela rabe needed to learn a few tricks for the sydney theatre company ' s the cherry orchard , skiffington got the call .\nperhaps the movie ' s nuttiest idea is that houdini would search for a genuine medium by auditioning vaudeville acts rather than , say , attending seances by mediums .\nprograms of one - act plays are usually a risky business in the commercial theater . with the end of each segment and the start of the next , the program starts and stops throughout the evening . momentum can slow ; attention may wander .\ndeath defying acts\nis so cannily constructed that it successfully builds from its comparatively quiet , spookily funny beginning ,\nan interview ,\nthrough the alternately desperate and hilarious\nhotline ,\nto the riotous revelations of marital betrayals in\ncentral park west .\nfortunately , these flaws go little way to diminish the genre - defying juggernaut \u2018death of a bachelor\u2019 has proved to be . and at the centre of panic at the disco\u2019s best album yet is urie himself . the charisma and eccentricity of the front man , matched by his jaw - dropping vocal acrobatics sees urie finally become the ringmaster of his own circus .\nin the acting categories , colin farrell and brendan gleeson have both been nominated for their turns in martin mcdonagh\u2019s \u2018in bruges\u2019 along with comedian dylan moran ( a film with me in it ) and michael fassbender ( hunger ) . actresses in a leading role include tribeca - winner eileen walsh ( eden ) , jenn murray ( dorothy ) , newcomer kelly o\u2019neill ( kisses ) and oscar nominee saoirse ronan ( city of ember ) . this marks a double nomination for saoirse who has also been nominated in the supporting actress category for \u2018death defying acts\u2019 .\nthe setup is obvious from the outset , and so is the punch line ( asked why he is damned , the interviewer says the lawyer made two critical errors in life : \u201dyou passed the bar and you neglected to live forever\u201d ) . but there is something death - defying in the nervy back - pedaling and second - guessing of guilfoyle\u2019s savvy but sinking lawyer .\nto be accurate about it ,\ndeath defying acts\nis really two extended sketches : mr . mamet ' s\ninterview\nand ms . may ' s\nhotline ,\nwhich are the program ' s first half , and mr . allen ' s fully developed , farcical one - act comedy ,\ncentral park west ,\nwhich concludes the program after intermission . though each playwright has a distinctive voice , a unifying theme is provided by the kind of late - 20th - century urban desperation that prompts everything from benign smiles to belly laughs .\nas far as i ' m concerned , guy pearce , who stars as houdini in gillian armstrong ' s death defying acts , has a hard act to follow - although it has to be said he looks the part rather more than curtis did . i don ' t think houdini was endowed with the pearce cheekbones , which seem to grow a little sharper every year , but the hairstyle , which ripples across his scalp in intricate corrugations , looks about right and he certainly projects the intensity needed by anyone who makes a living out of being chained up and hurled into deep water .\nduo sifolini , who are recognised as one of the most dangerous acts in the circus world , have brought along their giant space wheel \u2013 which will see them perform 15 metres above the ground without any safety aids .\nit doesn\u2019t take a genius to see that woody allen\u2019s \u201ccentral park west\u201d is not only the longest but also by far the strongest of the three one - act plays that make up \u201cdeath defying acts\u201d in its off broadway tryout at the stamford center for the arts\u2019 rich forum . so why undermine it by preceding it with a minor david mamet fragment and an overwritten elaine may sketch that , at the performance seen , sent some members of the audience out the door before they even sampled the allen ? wouldn\u2019t it be wiser to beg allen for another one - acter to accompany his existing piece , or even offer the 70 - minute \u201ccentral park west\u201d by itself ?\neven if you loved the recent miniwave of period films about magicians ( the illusionist and the prestige ) , you won ' t necessarily fall for death defying acts . it ' s gentler and hokier than those movies , less concerned with the mechanics of magic than it is with the psychology of the men or women behind the tricks ( and it doesn ' t have a lot new to say about that , either ) . still , there ' s something touching about this movie ' s belief in its own outlandish central premise , which comes down , in the end , to a bit of stargazing wish - fulfillment . what if harry houdini came to town , and a two - bit scammer managed to trick the ultimate trickster into falling in love ?\n\u201cdeath defying acts\u201d opens , in complete silence , with mamet\u2019s \u201can interview . \u201d the silence is eventually broken by one of the two men sitting at an almost bare table stage center , robin wagner \u2019s high - tech sliding panels and peter kaczorowski\u2019s chilly lighting adding to the kafkaesque atmosphere . an attorney ( paul guilfoyle ) is being interviewed by an attendant ( gerry becker ) whose modus operandi is to keep movement and speech to a minimum . this unsettles the attorney to the point where he loses his cool . the typically mamet dialogue revolves around whether the attorney borrowed a lawn mower when he was young and then buried it , and injecting such obvious lines as \u201cthere\u2019s no such thing as randomness , \u201d\u201dwhat is truth ? \u201d and \u201care you saying there are no honest lawyers ? \u201d\n] it wasn ' t death that scared mr . houdini . he ' d been diving into deep water all his life . what scared him was the truth . it wasn ' t his body that was in chains , it was his heart .\n\u201cnurturing new talent is a key objective of the irish film board and the rising star award acts as an excellent showcase of talent both in front of and behind the camera . this year\u2019s nominees have all broken through in significant films and we are delighted to see their talent and recent achievements recognised in the award . \u201d\n\u2018death of a bachelor\u2019 is a record that comes full circle on panic\u2019s evolution . with the revolving door of members closed for now , frontman urie is finally free to take songwriting duties completely into his own hands - and it seems no coincidence that this album is all the better for it .\nif you missed the \u201camerica\u2019s got talent\u201d season 12 premiere tuesday night , you didn\u2019t see demian aditya risk his life in this death -

death escape stunts enrapture audiences , houdini is more intrigued by notions of the afterlife . he offers a prize to anyone who can contact the dead and reveal the last words uttered by his dying mother .\ntakes the punch in the stomach story to a new mythic level by having houdini struck in public and dropping dead on the spot . the so credited\nmontreal student\n, played by justin flagg , shouts\ntrick or treat\nbefore he delivers the fatal blow . the punch , and houdini ' s problematic appendix , are set - up throughout the film , but the depiction of his sudden death seems a bit lazy .\nhis movie from gillian armstrong begins with an ingenious and entertaining idea . harry houdini , the great escape artist , was famously devoted to his mother and distraught at her death ; he was also noted for his debunking of so - called spiritualists and table - rappers . what if a spiritualist claimed to be in touch with houdini ' s mother ? would houdini ' s oedipal anguish somehow be transformed into the credulity that he had spent his life denouncing ? guy pearce plays houdini ;\nwell , that may be , but i wouldn ' t have known if they hadn ' t told me . what is clear is that houdini is flirting with death even more passionately than he ' s flirting with zeta - jones . he has a reckless habit of inviting burly members of the crowd to cluster around him and punch him as hard as they can - an act of bravado calculated to enhance the myth of his invincibility . instead , it ' s afflicted him with severe gut - ache .\nsounding intriguing enough in concept , \u201cdeath\u201d misses the mark onscreen in a way adaptations of deceptively cinematic novels often do . yet it\u2019s an original script \u2014 one that , for long in its development history ( it was written by tony grisoni and brian ward ) , didn\u2019t involve houdini at all , which may explain why the mix of a real - life legend and fictive personnel never quite gels . the former feels diminished and the latter contrived , neither lifting off the page into any kind of real dramatic life .\ndeaf singer mandy harvey , escape artist demian aditya , former pop star johnny emmanuel and amazing acts more take the tonight stage to fight for america\u2019s votes on america\u2019s got talent \u2018s live show ! first up on the show was dance crew brobots & mandroidz . after their intricate and clearly very rehearsed performance , howie mandel said he wasn\u2019t getting a \u201cwow ! \u201d from them , but the other judges were so impressed , with mel b even saying , \u201ci need to find me a man who can move like that ! \u201d lol ! it was definitely a great way to start the show !\nperforming \u201cthe death drop , \u201d escape artist demian aditya had us all on the edge of our seats for the third time . stapled into a suspended wooden box and handcuffed to metal rods outside of the box , demian needed to escape as a blowtorch lit up rope that held demian and the box up . however , the box began to drop and got caught due to another \u201ctechnical difficulty . \u201d the drama didn\u2019t stop there , people ! simon compared the disastrous performance to mel b\u2019s recently failed marriage , which caused mel to pour water on simon and then storm out ! yikes\u2026 .\ni do not know why this film is flushed with negative reviews . first of all this is not a film about houdini , there is no reason why this film should dramatically display the amazing acts and potentials of the artist himself ; secondly , i do not see why ' there is no reason for the creation of this movie ' is justifiable , this film is just a testimony on how characters carry on with their lives and that itself is enough to make a film meaningful . . . in fact films like ' atonement ' ( where the girl is also in ) deserves this statement better where everything is just so fake . third , i haven ' t watch the illusionist but i have to say this is richer in detail , and thus better than the prestige - - a film which displays too much magic ' action ' but no depth to the characters or the plot at all , like an eggshell without the yoke inside . . . lastly , this is a decent film where everything is well - made , well presented , well acting performances ( exception of catherine ' s dramatically ' fake ' acting at times ) , and a good score\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

jones is fine , but never for a single second did i believe she was going to screw over houdini . this left me with a rather predictable love story that i was hoping would hurry along . there was never a real sense of wonderment at houdini ' s tricks , and the film tried to hard to pull away his showbiz facade . we are left with an interesting and emotionally frail man , but since it isn ' t juxtaposed against how he was perceived it wasn ' t particularly interesting . saoirse ronan shows why she is becoming a fantastic lead actress , but the majority of this just never peaks that high .\noverall this really is a pleasant and enjoyable film , but it is incredibly typical . there is nothing particuarly special about it , nor does it do anything unexpected . it is mediocre to the very end , but at the same time decent to watch . i picked this up because saoise ronan was in it , and she is so young and tiny ! and at the same time , she is just as great and confincing as the rest of the cast . the film is extreamely atmospheric , that is the main thing that stood out to me . well , and the score is decent . other than that , everything is just . . . okay . the story is inoffensive , the acting is decent , the direction seems competant enough , but nothing is that extraordinary . i just wish there was more to grab ahold of , to rave or whine about . i would even like some major flaws if there were some killer virtues to go with them . i had never heard of this movie until actually watching it , and i cannot help but thing that there is a reason for that . so , i really cannot say that i recommend it , but at the same time i do not not recommend it . . . it is an odd blend . the film is decent enough , but you really are wasting your time in watching it . there is nothing to make you think , or make you feel . you will not be stimulated at all .\ni was surprised that i have never head of this film before watching it . overall , this was an entertaining movie . i enjoyed watching it , even thought there is not too much beneath the surface . this movie was a little drawn out at the end , but still , i thought it was better than most critics have given it credit for .\nsee the box office tab ( domestic ) and international tab ( international and worldwide ) for more cumulative box office records .\nfor a description of the different acting role types we use to categorize acting perfomances , see our glossary .\na slower week in terms of first run releases with a second tier summer release topping that particular list . however , there are a few other releases that are more interesting , including the\n, but the latter is better than the former . while that release is the dvd pick of the week , two non -

jones , guy pearce , timothy spall , saoirse ronan . rating stars - 3\nfor me , harry houdini is forever tony curtis , who played the great escape artist in a bio - pic i saw as a child . he may have worn tights in the role . in those days , curtis rarely appeared in anything else .\noffstage , he ' s just as busy . in his unbound moments , curtis ' s houdini had janet leigh to flirt with . pearce ' s houdini has catherine zeta - jones . you may not be surprised to learn that the script does quite a bit of tinkering with the facts of houdini ' s life . zeta - jones portrays a made - up character called mary mcgarvie , who ekes out a living in music halls by posing as a psychic with her partner in crime , her 12 - year - old daughter , benji . benji is played by saoirse ronan , exhibiting the same aplomb she displayed in atonement , but this time it comes with charm . much of the story is told from her point of view .\nthe year is 1926 and we ' re in edinburgh - although it ' s an edinburgh that bears only a casual relationship to the real thing . houdini , accompanied by his hard - headed minder , mr sugarman ( timothy spall in a serious mood ) , books into the city ' s grandest hotel , taking a suite that could double as the wing of a ruritanian palace , while mary and benji , who have fallen on hard times , make do with an abandoned cottage which looks as if it was previously occupied by hansel and gretel . there is such a soft edge to the lighting that crucial parts of the action seem to take place in a scottish mist .\nthe script was initially devised without houdini as a story about the art of the con trick . the writers , tony grisoni and brian ward , say they wanted to explore the idea that audiences who patronise magic shows want so much to be taken in that they readily conspire with the conjurer to overlook the fakery . houdini was a later addition to the plot and with him came a different psychological theme - the notion that he was sublimating love by tying himself up with ropes and chains .\nnot surprisingly , given this morbid streak in his make - up , he ' s begun to be obsessed by the question of whether there ' s an afterlife . and since he ' s a showman , he makes this obsession public . on his arrival in edinburgh , he puts up a prize of $ us10 , 000 to anyone who can communicate with his dead mother .\nmary mcgarvie is bold enough to make a bid for the prize and as soon as houdini lays eyes on her , he ' s predictably intrigued - to the chagrin of sugarman , who definitely does know a con when he sees one .\nyet there ' s nothing he can do about it . he and the precociously insightful benji are left to sit on the sidelines tossing barbed remarks at one another while mary and houdini set about falling in love . and they look extremely photogenic doing it . they tango and fox - trot together while gazing soulfully into one another ' s eyes and they generate such heat that mary belatedly discovers her finer feelings .\ni know it ' s nostalgia talking but in my mind curtis ' s houdini still remains the one to beat .\nwhen news happens : send photos , videos & tip -

conceived , and , additionally , well - acted .\nbut with so little story behind them , their minor dalliances never become important enough on their own to warrant interest .\nlikewise , the film is very well -

like physique ( although he ' s the houdini of 1906 rather than 1926 ) . says pearce :\nthere\u2019s footage of houdini and there\u2019s audio stuff of him , but i decided to go in a completely different direction and really just work off what my own imaginative response was to the script anyway , i think , rather than really just trying to channel somebody .\nis the outstanding production design by gemma jackson . the opening bridge jump in sydney harbor is truly evocative of the period . many authentic houdini photos are recreated with pearce ' s likeness . houdini ' s stationary is even accurately reproduced . the chinese water torture cell is nicely recreated , although pearce ' s patter is hokey and its conclusion , with pearce lounging across the top like a beach boy , seems out of character . while bess does not appear in the film , her photograph does . oddly , the filmmakers elected not to use a photo of the real bess , but a photo of an unknown actress . who is this\nfor once a hollywood film does not portray houdini as dying in the water torture cell . however\nwas financed through the australian film finance corp . , bbc films and myriad pictures . after it was completed , the weinstein company bought the film after viewing a promo reel at the american film market , paying a reported $ 5 . 5 million for limited distribution rights . myriad pictures had already sold distribution rights in the u . k . to lionsgate .\nat the state theater in sydney australia on march 10 , 2008 . a vip after -

thunderbolt 3 is the upcoming version of the thunderbolt interface . the specifications have been released , but the interface itself is not available on pcs yet . thunderbolt 3 lets you transfer data at up to 40gbps . that ' s twice as fast as the 20gbps throughput speed of thunderbolt 2 , and four times as fast as the 10gbps of usb - c and the original thunderbolt interface . thunderbolt 3 lets you connect speedy hard drives , various displays ( including 4k and 5k resolutions ) , and other peripherals , like pcie gen 3 expansion cages , to your desktop or laptop .\nthunderbolt 3 is still in the nascent stages , and hasn ' t rolled out on any pcs yet , but since it shares some cables and its plug shape with usb - c , it has a much better chance for wide adoption than original thunderbolt and thunderbolt 2 had . look for thunderbolt 3 on premium and performance laptops later this year .\nit depends . if you connect those devices to the end of your thunderbolt chain , they should\u2019t adversely affect the performance of faster \u201cupstream\u201d devices . if you connect non - thunderbolt devices in the middle of a thunderbolt daisy chain , the way you connect them matters .\nwhat about adapters ? intel says that thunderbolt 3 - to - original - thunderbolt adapters will be available at the end of this year , along with the first laptops with thunderbolt 3 ports . you will be able to plug in current thunderbolt devices , like hard drives , as well as mini displayport and thunderbolt displays ( up to 5k ) , using this type of adapter , and the devices will run at the same speeds you ' re used to today .\nthunderbolt just became official , and while a number of vendors have announced thunderbolt - based peripherals , none are yet available . for example , promise has announced the pegasus thunderbolt technology das , a 4 - or 6 - bay external raid array , and lacie has announced a thunderbolt version of the company\u2019s little big disk portable drive that features dual hard drives or ssds ( solid - state drives ) . these and other thunderbolt peripherals are expected to be available beginning this spring .\nconveniently enough , thunderbolt uses a connector that fits the mini displayport port on all recent macs . in fact , the newest macbook models include only a thunderbolt port\u2014there\u2019s no separate mini displayport port .\nmacworld lab recently saw how dramatic an improvement thunderbolt performance is over firewire 800 . . . .\npassive vs . active cables the simplest cables are passive and made of copper metal . passive thunderbolt 3 cables are identical to usb - c cables and plug into thunderbolt 3 or usb - c ports . thunderbolt 3 transfers data at up to 20gbps over passive cables , at equivalent speeds to thunderbolt 2 , and double the speed of usb - c . but while passive cables are the most compatible with both thunderbolt 3 and usb - c , they ' re not necessarily the most efficient .\nintel has built thunderbolt 3 to work in the same exact physical ports as usb - c . that will help adoption , since pc manufacturers won ' t have to knock any additional holes in a system chassis for a separate thunderbolt 3 port . it ' s important to note , however , that while they are physically the same , the thunderbolt 3 port has circuitry behind it to allow faster thunderbolt 3 throughput rates . ports that only support usb - c ( and not thunderbolt 3 ) will likely be more common , even after thunderbolt 3 ' s official rollout later this year . to quickly check whether the port you have on a laptop is a usb - c or thunderbolt 3 version , just look next to the port for a thunderbolt icon , which resembles a lightning bolt .\nnaturally , if you plug a thunderbolt 3 device into a thunderbolt 3 port , you ' ll get between 20 and 40gbps maximum throughput , depending on the type of cable you ' re using .\non the new macbook pro models , you can use target disk mode over a computer - to - computer thunderbolt connection . ( we assume this will be the case with future thunderbolt - equipped macs , as well . ) however , mac os x\u2019s migration assistant software doesn\u2019t currently support thunderbolt connections .\ni have a macbook pro retina 13\nearly 2015 that came with 2 thunderbolt 2 ports . i have been looking for a dock to connect my usb 2 / 3 devices but all i can find are docks with thunderbolt 3 cables . can thunderbolt 3 cables utilize the thunderbolt 2 ports and can the cabling provide power to devices ( i . e . , the apple external dvd drive ) ?\nwith the headline : ' titfield thunderbolt , ' british comedy , starts engagement at the little carnegie .\nthunderbolt 3 with usb - c technology is a truly universal connection . with the help of an adapter or cable , you can connect just about any of your devices , including your existing thunderbolt 2 devices .\nin our ongoing look at thunderbolt performance , we tested two more configurations , as requested by . . .\nmacworld lab has done more thunderbolt testing . we look at lion versus snow leopard performance , . . .\nclearly , fred was no innocent victim of a dastardly plot , as some thunderbolt writers like to claim .\nthunderbolt 3 provides twice the display bandwidth of thunderbolt 2 , enabling imac to support two 4k displays or one 5k display . and with two thunderbolt controllers in the 15 - inch macbook pro , you can send graphics to dual 5k displays for the perfect high - resolution photo and video editing setup . thunderbolt 3 connects to displayport displays and monitors with a cable , while supporting hdmi and vga displays with the use of an adapter .\nthe biggest advantage is obviously the aforementioned performance . but another big selling point is that , since thunderbolt supports data , video , audio , and power , you can use a single thunderbolt port\u2014and thus a single cable\u2014to connect many of your peripherals . or at least you\u2019ll be able to once you\u2019ve got enough thunderbolt devices and adapters .\nfor example , if you use two firewire - to - thunderbolt adapters to put a firewire hard drive in the middle of a thunderbolt daisy chain , the performance of the rest of the chain\ndownstream\nfrom the computer will be limited by the firewire drive\u2019s firewire bus , which simply can\u2019t pass data as fast as thunderbolt .\nyou can connect up to six devices to each thunderbolt port by daisy - chaining them\u2014connecting the first to the thunderbolt port , connecting the second to the first , and so on . of course , this requires that each device in the chain have two thunderbolt ports ( or two other types of data ports along with thunderbolt adapters ) \u2014one to connect to the device in front of it and one to provide a connection for the device after it .\nin this guide , we ' ll take a look at the different ways you can connect devices to thunderbolt .\nthe first thunderbolt - based raid array has finally arrived , and macworld lab has some test results . . .\nequipped with thunderbolt 3 , your imac or macbook pro is ready to connect to a broad ecosystem of devices .\nthose who are lucky enough to have headphones with interchangeable cables will probably find apple selling thunderbolt cables and adapters .\ntrace were caused by the lucent switching regulator assembly in the original thunderbolt housing . replacement of this supply with an external + 12 / - 12 / + 5 volt switching supply eliminated most of the original thunderbolt ' s spurs ,\nthunderbolt 3 offers a connection with state - of - the - art speed and versatility . delivering twice the bandwidth of thunderbolt 2 , it consolidates data transfer , video output , and charging into a single compact connector . and with the integration of usb - c , convenience is added to the speed of thunderbolt to create a truly universal port .\nthe big news , however , is the fact that thunderbolt 3 is designed to work in the same - shaped port as usb - c and is compatible with usb - c cables and devices . the original thunderbolt and thunderbolt 2 interfaces use mini displayport - shaped connectors , which mean that they are entirely incompatible with any usb port . apple computers ( and a few windows workstations ) are the only systems to support thunderbolt , which ultimately led to limited adoption .\nclaims that frederick ward was not shot at kentucky creek are merely part of the thunderbolt mythology and are easily disproven .\nthere are no featured audience reviews yet . click the link below to see what others say about the titfield thunderbolt !\nin theory , it\u2019s blazing fast . a thunderbolt channel can provide up to 10 gigabits per second ( gbps ) of data throughput\u2014and each thunderbolt port includes two channels . thunderbolt is also bi - directional , meaning it can transmit and receive data at the same time . even with estimated real - world performance of around 8gbps , thunderbolt is many times faster than firewire 800 and usb 3 . 0 . it\u2019s also significantly faster than the esata connections available on many windows pcs .\nfor owners of the 2011 macbook air , the thunderbolt display is a fantastic way to get imac - like . . .\nwhat happens when i plug usb - c devices into a thunderbolt 3 port ? all usb - c devices can be plugged into , and will work in , a thunderbolt 3 port , but it will transfer data at the slower usb - c speed . an easy thing to remember is that thunderbolt 3 ports are technically backward - compatible with usb - c devices .\ntraces are from an unmodified late - model thunderbolt in disciplined and undisciplined mode , respectively . these traces are largely equivalent to the\nthunderbolt 3 , however , is not ( necessarily ) usb - c compatible . while it ' s true that you can physically plug a thunderbolt 3 device into a usb - c port , it isn ' t guaranteed to work . some thunderbolt 3 devices , like power adapters , may charge your usb - c - only laptop , but devices that transfer data probably will not . you ' ll likely get a message on your laptop screen that the thunderbolt 3 device is incompatible with the usb - c port .\nusb - c hub adapter thunderbolt 3 to hdmi vga dvi with 3 . 5mm audio micro usb multiport converter cable for new macbook dell xps\nusb c hdmi ethernet vga type c hub thunderbolt 3 hdmi ethnernet rj45 lan 3 . 5mm usb3 . 0 charge multiport adapter for samsung s8 hp\ntrace gives a better idea of the 10811 -

connector port on ios devices provides quite a bit of additional functionality\u2014it\u2019s got 30 connection pins for a reason , after all . finally , it\u2019s not clear what benefits thunderbolt would provide that the dock - connector port is missing . we suspect it\u2019s far more likely that apple will eventually sell an optional thunderbolt - to - dock - connector cable for charging and syncing .\non wednesday , apple confirmed that the rumors are true : there is no headphone jack in the iphone 7 . apple is including a new pair of earpods in the box with the handset , as well as an adapter for connecting the headphones to the legacy 3 . 5mm port , and it also announced new wireless earbuds called airpods .\napple svp phil schiller explains the move : \u201cthe reason to move on : courage . the courage to move on and do something new that betters all of us . \u201d schiller says removing headphone jack will free up space , which is growing ever - limited with new components , and apple\u2019s ultimate vision for mobile audio is \u201cwireless . \u201d\nthunderbolt has been on the market for less than a year , but we\u2019re already dreaming of all the cool things we might be able to do with it .\napple doesn ' t comment on future products , but it\u2019s telling that the company has made thunderbolt a standard feature across the entire macbook pro line\u2014even the entry - level model . the company has said it expects wide adoption of thunderbolt , and for that to happen , its spread across the mac line seems like a given . as apple updates the company\u2019s other computer lines over the coming months , we expect to see thunderbolt added to every mac model . a more interesting question , though , is\u2026\neasya usb c hub to hdmi vga adapter thunderbolt 3 usb dock with usb type -

shaped adapters that provide thunderbolt input and output along with a single legacy connection , to multi - device hubs that let you connect several legacy devices ( docking station , anyone ? ) . when using one of these specialized adapters , the higher performance of the rest of the thunderbolt chain should be preserved .\nas noted above , thunderbolt can carry data , video , audio , network data , and power , so we also expect to see adapters providing audio and ethernet connections . perhaps we ' ll even see cables that grab power from the thunderbolt port\u2014this could be useful , for example , for getting some extra juice for an external usb or firewire peripheral .\ntrace shows the performance of the oscillator after it was removed from the thunderbolt and powered up with an hp bench supply . the spur near 50 khz is an instrument artifact .\nunlike with usb 2 . 0 , where connecting a non - hi - speed device or a usb 1 . 0 device can affect the performance of the entire usb bus , thunderbolt is designed to handle multiple devices of varying levels of performance without affecting the channel itself . of course , those devices still share the total throughput of the thunderbolt channel , which could limit the performance of a particular device if multiple devices are transferring lots of data at the same time , but the performance of the thunderbolt channel itself shouldn\u2019t be affected .\nthunderbolt ( previously called light peak ) is a new peripheral - connection technology , developed by intel with collaboration from apple , that combines data , video , audio , and power in a single connection . based on the pci express and displayport architectures , thunderbolt allows for high - speed connection of peripherals such as hard drives , raid arrays , video - capture solutions , and network interfaces , and it can transmit high - definition video using the displayport protocol . each thunderbolt port also provides up to 10 watts of power to connected peripherals .\nthird - party vendors will sell adapters , available sometime this spring , that let you connect usb , firewire 400 , and firewire 800 devices to thunderbolt ports . thunderbolt won\u2019t make these legacy devices any faster , however\u2014they\u2019ll still be limited to the performance of their built - in components . for example , a firewire 800 device still won\u2019t be able to transfer data faster than 800 mbps .\nalong with usb - c , thunderbolt 3 shares a very compact , interchangeable port that delivers fast throughput rates . here ' s what you need to know about connectivity on your next laptop .\nas of this writing , there are no passive , active , or optical thunderbolt 3 cables available . intel says to expect them by the end of the year . pricing has also not been announced , but we expect that a passive thunderbolt 3 cables will have similar pricing to usb - c cables that are currently available ( i . e . , currently $ 10 to $ 25 for a 3 - foot usb - c cable ) . active thunderbolt 3 cables will likely be more expensive , since they will have integrated circuitry , and will likely run from $ 30 to $ 50 .\nthe arrival of apple\u2019s latest macbook pro models brings with it a brand - new connection technology called thunderbolt . and by brand - new , we mean \u201cjust announced thursday morning , \u201d which raises lots of questions about what , exactly , thunderbolt is and why apple has chosen to make it a flagship feature of the company\u2019s newest notebooks . here\u2019s what you need to know about the industry\u2019s latest connection standard .\nperhaps , although eventually could be a very long time . thunderbolt is brand new , and as such it will be a while before it becomes anywhere near as commonplace as usb and firewire . it\u2019s expected to be widely adopted by vendors and peripheral makers over the next few years , but until most popular peripherals are available with thunderbolt connections , we don\u2019t expect these legacy connections to disappear entirely from the mac lines .\ntrace is from one of the newer thunderbolts from the 2008 tapr group purchase , which , as noted , already has a 10811 - class ocxo . improving the performance of this particular thunderbolt would not be trivial .\n. ( click the image for a full - sized version - - the details are worth it . ) the ability of the thunderbolt ' s firmware to maintain control of the ocxo without a usable gps signal is impressive .\nthese parameters were tweaked by warren sarkinson over the course of several days ' observation of the unit ' s behavior , and his effort really paid off . performance of the 10811 - based thunderbolt is nearly on par with one of\na usb - c adapter will work when plugged into a thunderbolt 3 port without any modification . that will give you access to hdmi displays , usb hard drives , ethernet adapters , printers , scanners , and just about any other usb device . of course , if you plug a usb 2 . 0 drive into a thunderbolt 3 port with an adapter , data will transfer at a plodding 480mbps throughput , but you can still access files on older drives this way .\nthe mac pro is currently the only system capable of using internal pci express cards , although companies like magma have been providing laptop users with external expressbox solutions for years . unfortunately , those require an expresscard slot , which is now long gone from the macbook pro \u2013 so why not bring this ability to all macs featuring the thunderbolt port ? as it turns out , magma is indeed working on a new thunderbolt expansion chassis , so our prayers will be answered soon enough .\nremember , every thunderbolt port includes both displayport and pci express connections . which means a thunderbolt port can handle the same types of video and audio\u2014displays with greater than 1080p resolution and up to eight channels of audio\u2014as a displayport port . when it comes to video , the main limitation is your graphics card . for example , the new macbooks support an external display up to 2560 by 1600 pixels at millions of colors , in addition to the built - in display in either mirroring or dual - display mode . on a desktop mac , the thunderbolt port would support two high - resolution displays . you can connect a mini displayport - enabled display directly , or a displayport , hdmi , dvi , or vga display using an adapter .\neyetv maker elgato has long sold a nifty little usb 2 . 0 fob called the turbo . 264 hd , providing hardware accelerated video conversion software to make short work of your ios encoding . as great as it is , we think thunderbolt could make our h . 264 encoding faster yet , so we\u2019d like to see someone jump on this bandwagon . the turbo . 264 hd already does its magic in near real time , so how fast could thunderbolt do the same ? it boggles the mind .\nnot really , although the idea is similar to that of the apple display connector ( adc ) . while thunderbolt does carry video , audio , data , and power\u2014thus reducing the number of cables sticking out of your computer\u2014it doesn\u2019t provide enough power to run a large display . ( adc could provide up to 100 watts of power , along with video , audio , and usb signals . ) on the other hand , an adc connection required a specialized\u2014and expensive\u2014video card , whereas thunderbolt uses the mini displayport standard .\nthe thunderbolt 3 ( usb - c ) ports on imac and macbook pro are fully compatible with your existing devices and displays . use the chart below to find out which adapter or cable you\u2019ll need to connect to the ports on all your favorite devices .\nsharing ports saves space older laptops with separate thunderbolt 2 and usb 3 . 0 ports\nwaste\nspace , because when all is said and done , both ports do a similar job : they connect peripherals to the computer , albeit at different speeds .\nlight peak was simply intel\u2019s codename for thunderbolt while the technology was under development\u2014they\u2019re names for the exact same technology . one thing to note , however , is that although thunderbolt is designed to allow the use of either electrical or optical connections , apple\u2019s current implementation uses only electrical circuitry , which allows the port to carry power , as well . ( intel expects most vendors to use electrical connections both for this advantage and because of the lower cost . optical versions will likely be used only when cables longer than three meters are needed . )\nwe suspect so , but we haven ' t yet confirmed this capability . we ' ll update this answer when we know more . we ' re also looking into whether you can boot your mac from a usb or firewire drive connected to a thunderbolt port using an adapter .\nthe pair made their way to the new england district where , late in october 1863 , they were spotted near the big rock ( now thunderbolt ' s rock ) , south of uralla . the police shot fred in the back of the left knee but he managed to escape . he and britten separated a few weeks later and fred travelled south again to the maitland district . on 22 december 1863 , he robbed a toll - bar operator at rutherford , west of maitland , and afterwards informed his victim that his name was\ncaptain thunderbolt\n.\nas laptops continue to become thinner , shrinking to less than a half - inch in depth , pc manufacturers have found that current i / o ports like vga , hdmi , and the 0 . 3 - inch usb type a can no longer fit into these sleeker notebooks . to replace them , the usb - c interface ( also known as usb 3 . 1 or usb type - c ) was recently introduced in the 12 - inch apple macbook and the latest google chromebook pixel . usb - c is theoretically twice as fast as usb 3 . 0 , and its form factor does away with up - and - down orientation ( you can plug it any which way into the port ) . now , intel has announced the thunderbolt 3 interface , which , thankfully , doesn ' t compete with usb - c , unlike the original thunderbolt . rather , it merges the strength of the faster thunderbolt 3 interface with the potentially ubiquitous usb - c port .\nused for powering up and fine - tuning the frequency of the thunderbolt ocxos . the large diode at left is for reverse - power protection , and the small cylindrical glass components are 0 . 1 uf bypass capacitors . the 2k 10 - turn trimpot ' s wiper is bypassed with a 4 . 7 uf tantalum capacitor .\nbefore the disastrous heaven ' s gate and year of the dragon , and before the success of the deer hunter , intermittently brilliant director michael cimino directed his marvelous first film , thunderbolt and lightfoot . eastwood , whose production company produced the film , had become impressed with cimino after cimino coauthored the screenplay for another eastwood . . . read more\nto get all the benefits of thunderbolt 3 , you ' ll need to use active cables . active thunderbolt 3 cables will use integrated chips to achieve full 40gbps throughput . you should use active cables where throughput really matters , like when connecting your laptop to 4k or 5k displays . you ' ll also want to use an active cable to get the fastest throughput out of local file storage for workstations and servers , particularly if you ' re connecting to a solid - state - drive ( ssd ) - based raid array . active cables made of copper are limited to about 6 feet in length\u2013enough to go from your laptop to an external hard drive on a colleague ' s desk .\nwith thunderbolt 3 , a single usb - c port can deliver power in both directions . so a port can charge a device or , alternatively , be charged by one . and it\u2019s capable of delivering up to 100 watts of power , so a single cable can be used to connect to a dock or display and charge your macbook pro simultaneously .\na feeble at tempt at the brand of whimsey that has characterized previous british films such as\ntight little island ,\ntawny pipit\nand\npassport to pimlico\nis made in the latest import from ealing studios -

lock the ocxo , it was easy to change the tuning coefficient from - 5 hz / volt to the 0 . 2 hz / volt value needed for stable operation of the 10811 .\nrecently ( 2008 ) some 2002 - vintage units with particularly - high - quality ocxos have appeared for sale in the sub - $ 200 range , but many of the thunderbolt units in the field are probably a few years older , like the one shown here . the lower - grade ocxo in this unit had very good in - channel phase noise performance , but poor stability at 100 hz and below . so it made sense to try to\npci express is the high - speed architecture that\u2019s used to connect many of the components in your mac , such as the processor , graphics card , and hard drive . you can think of pci express as an expressway that lets data move quickly and efficiently between these \u201clocations . \u201d because thunderbolt is based on pci express , it offers a direct connection to the pci express bus , which is part of the reason it can offer such impressive performance .\nthis plot gives you a good\nfeel\nfor the difference in stability between a gps standard and a high - quality crystal oscillator by itself . towards the end of the white trace , the combined effects of the oscillator ' s aging rate and temperature coefficient are plainly evident . on the other hand , for the first six days , the thunderbolt was locked to gps and its temperature was kept under control , yielding stability about 100 times better .\none of the few things holding back the current mac lineup is the absence of internal pci express slots , which are pretty much required to do hd video capture and playback from anything more than firewire - based camcorders . blackmagic design has already introduced the ultrastudio 3d , a $ 999 portable thunderbolt box which handles most any digital or analog signal you can throw at it - - but it would be nice to have something less than half that price for those on a budget .\n1 . thunderbolt strikes . 2 . eight to one . 3 . ride for life . 4 . the vanishing man . 5 . the furry death . 6 . held for hostage . 7 . the rolling destroyer . 8 . a race with death . 9 . the jaws of death . 10 . the dungeon death . 11 . a victim of the law . 12 . the fire of fate . 13 . the death pyre . 14 . the cave man . 15 . the dynamite wedding .\nmore than six months after its introduction , we\u2019re still waiting for the explosion of cool peripherals to plug into our shiny new thunderbolt i / o port which now comes standard with all macs ( save for the lone holdout , the mac pro ) . sure , we\u2019ve seen some awesome , lightning - fast raid storage and some hints of other greatness to come , but what about other potential uses for the technology ? here are a dozen things we\u2019d like to see that port used for - - so let\u2019s get cracking , engineers !\ntrace depicts the typical performance of a late - model thunderbolt from the tapr group purchase with its factory default settings , including the default control - loop time constant of 100 seconds . high quality ocxos will actually lose performance when steered by a gps receiver at such short timescales , especially when operated in a benign environment , so you ' ll probably want to increase the time constant when upgrading the ocxo . as with any pll , the loop parameters interact to some extent , so the optimization process tends to involve adjustment of several values .\nthose of you reared on usb and firewire probably don\u2019t remember scsi , which was the leading i / o peripheral connection on the mac for many years . although apple has long turned its back on the technology , many pro users still use pci - based scsi cards to access a variety of tape backup drives ( including dlt , required for dvd mastering with css encryption ) . we\u2019d love to see at least one peripheral maker create some kind of thunderbolt to scsi bridge so we can find out what\u2019s on all these old iomega zip disks laying around the office .\nif you value movies as primarily entertainment and don ' t have to have philosophy , sociology and religiosity thrown in , then this movie is for you . pure entertainment . a good story , irreverent dialogue and superior acting make\nthunderbolt and lightfoot\na great movie . george kennedy is amazingly good in his role as red leary and eastwood and jeff bridges are always tops . the movie is a drama with comic overtones . all is not lighthearted and you may find tragedy in the ending . but is is always a good story , progresses apace and is satisfyingly concluded . i can find no reason to give it fewer than five stars .\nsuch details make this book ring true , but it is the issue of identity that lies at the heart of the story . once at entebbe , the israeli hostages \u2014 children among them \u2014 were separated from the others . they endured worse conditions , more violence , and no hope of early release . the german hijackers insisted they were anti - israeli rather than anti - semitic , but this nuance did little to impress yitzhak david , a survivor of auschwitz , who challenged them with the number tattooed on his arm . as the days passed , both the nationality and \u2018racial appearance\u2019 of the hostages became steadily more relevant to their chances of survival . some older , immigrant israelis \u2018missed their old passports\u2019 , and operation thunderbolt was in part motivated by the need for israel to retain credibility as a country able to defend its own ; its very raison d\u2019\u00eatre .\ni saw this a long time ago and it has remained in my mind as being a good movie . i was not wrong ! the acting is very good and the plot is believable , written and directed by michael cimino . a young mouthy drifter named lightfoot ( 25 year old jeff bridges ) , who has just stolen a sports car from a used car lot , rescues an older con / thief nicknamed thunderbolt ( eastwood ) who is being chased and shot at by someone his ex partners hired ( george kennedy and geoffrey lewis ) because they think he knows where the money they stole seven years earlier is hidden . apparently it was hidden in an old one - room schoolhouse , which is no longer there , replaced by a new modern school . eventually they put aside trying to kill each other and decide to do the robbery again , in exactly the same way as before . using an anti -

breasted countess in europe ) was a 1973 french erotic / horror film written and directed by jesus franco . it is the story of countess irna karlstein , a royal descendent of one of the oldest families in eastern europe . the countess is a mute and the last surviving heir of her bloodline . her family has a long history of terror and bloodlust , but the countess does not lust after blood , she lusts after people . the same way a vampire needs human blood in order to survive , countess karlstein needs sex in order to keep on living . this film is the cream of the cop in regards to sleazy 70\u2019s exploitation . it has everything : eroticism , sexual tension and build - up , sexy vampires , and of course that classic 70\u2019s bush . however , this film isn\u2019t without its faults . in fact , here are 5 problems i had with the film \u201cfemale vampire\u201d .\nthis and its sequel , bride of the fat white vampire , are simply hilarious reads . featuring a 500 - pound , bloodsucking taxi driver named jules duchon , this story\u2014set in new orleans\u2014is as entertaining as it is audacious . the tagline for fat white vampire blues says it all : \u201che\u2019s undead , overweight , and can\u2019t get a date . \u201d you will never read anything quite like these novels\u2026\nall the same , i can\u2019t help feeling this isn\u2019t enough . we all know the joke about the male feminist who walks into a bar because it\u2019s set so low . it\u2019s all too easy to be \u201cgood at doing women\u201d when all it takes is granting female characters the same desires and contradictions we\u2019d grant to any other human being .\nin the marvel universe , dracula ' s predecessor as lord of the vampires was an ancient atlantean vampire named varnae , in a tip of the hat to the story of varney predating that of dracula .\nthe transformative nature of vampirism , and the autonomy that comes with it , is crucial . dracula had his captive brides , but usually , the lady vampire is an active , independent figure in her narrative ; she holds the frame with that force of will . vampirism in film is largely its own occupation\u2014cinematic vampires are consumed with the hunt for blood , the search for love , or the nature of immortality itself . a female vampire is , by default , a career woman . she might not always be elite ( as with the blue - collar vampires of near dark ) , but vampirism provides her both goals and resources\u2014a powerfully feminist combination . it also suggests freedom from prescribed sexual and social mores , a narrative pulp culture has never hesitated to explore .\nthe lustful - vampire sisterhood quickly became one of horror\u2019s most popular low - budget tropes . it got a particularly explicit narrative in 1974\u2019s vampyres , which is more concerned with the sex life of its lesbian couple than any vampire lore . but even that movie claims as its most uncanny moment a post - coital male victim awakening to find seductress fran ( marianne morris ) watching him with unblinking eyes , an inversion of the usual sexual gaze\u2014both his and the camera\u2019s . and in tony scott\u2019s the hunger , one of cinema\u2019s most stylish takes on the female vampire , miriam ( catherine deneuve ) sets aside david bowie himself in favor of the more modern dr . sarah ( susan sarandon ) \u2014who decides she wants nothing to do with the lifestyle to which miriam\u2019s consigned her . though scott\u2019s original ending left it ambiguous whether anyone survived , mgm insisted on an epilogue that showed sarah making the most of the luxe afterlife , with miriam a half -

traveling vampire , whose scenes are set among horror and exploitation films of the 1970s . but on \u201cfemale vampire , \u201d the first single from the forthcoming blood bitch * * , hval proves what many of her growing cult of fans know to be true : she\u2019s \u201ccomplex and intellectual , \u201d so if she ' s fascinated with vampires , it ' s certainly no gimmick .\nour vampires are different : the rules of vampirism are quite different both from legend and modern vampire fiction . in particular , the idea that vampires can be healed by moonlight is almost never used in later works .\ncharles busch lightly spoofed them in the downtown stage play vampire lesbians of sodom . jes\u00fas franco exploited them in the 1971 west german - spanish horror film vampyros lesbos , starring soledad miranda as the countess nadine carody .\nthe vampire has always been a contradictory figure : on the one hand a repellent blood - sucking creature crawling from the grave , and , on the other , a strangely alluring representation of nocturnal glamour and potent sexuality . the very concept of vampirism horrifies and fascinates in seemingly equal measure , and much of this perverse duality stems from the most famous vampire novel of them all \u2013 bram stoker\u2019s dracula , first published in 1897 .\namirpour\u2019s vampire is not tormented by the agony of living for ever . she knows what she wants and is not unduly troubled by the existential crisis of immortality ; neither is she the heroic underdog of let the right one in ( 2008 ) . this vampire victimises and bullies a small child for his skateboard , terrifyingly hissing in his ear : \u201cto the end of your life , i\u2019ll watch you \u2026\u201d it\u2019s a film with bite .\nfemale vampire is pure sleaziness and while there is an audience for it as with any film , it held very little appeal . despite garnering a cult status , other than hardcore franco fans or film - goers with an appreciation for this sub - genre , it\u2019s unclear if this film has a place with modern audiences due to its slow pace , monotonous scenes of dialogue and overall tone of dullness . romay is quite mesmerizing in certain shots , oozing an ethereal presence but it\u2019s so thinly plotted that even a somewhat interesting performance isn\u2019t enough to save it from mainly being a boring porno .\ni described the first book in melton\u2019s nightfall syndicate thusly : \u201cimagine bram stoker writing a crime fiction epic , or mario puzo penning a vampire -

( the film beat the cult honeymoon - disaster tone - poem daughters of darkness to the post by a year : daughters also had the subtext of sisterhood at the expense of men , with vampire elizabeth bathory attempting to rescue a newlywed from the clutches of her abusive husband . )\nutterly daft , a little sad , often erotic . i dare say you could complain about this film , but it is also one of the most influential and memorable vampire films of all time . ultimately this is an art film , with a beautiful setting , haunting music , classic moments like the little bat flapping its wings on the car , clever music cues highlighting the tragedy for the vampire of her victims dying . the casual nudity sometimes seems gratuitous , but oddly the sex scenes feel more like the director is making love to the actress . . .\nwhen the dawnguard add - on is installed , in addition to several new vampires being added , changes to the physical appearance of vampires from the base game will be seen . most vampires will have glowing yellow eyes and distorted faces , with bat - like noses , a red line from nose to chin , and ridges above their eyes ( similar to dark elves ) . during the events of the dawnguard quests , vampires will attack some towns or cities . dawnguard also introduces the powerful vampire lords and the volkihar vampire clan as a fully fleshed out faction .\nvampires may carry miscellaneous items , including lockpicks , potions , gems , jewelry , and books , and have a 50 % chance to carry a small amount of gold . on death , vampires drop vampire dust and have a 15 % chance to drop a leveled potion or poison .\non friday , a girl walks home alone at night , a semi - iranian film about a female vampire who predominantly attacks men who have exploited women , was released in the us . it\u2019s quite clear that women\u2019s rights are an extremely murky issue , still , in iran . it is not a country without protest or progress on the issue , and it is a place where women do vocally come forth and fight for agency . for that very reason , it\u2019s hard , in watching a girl walks home alone at night , not to politicize its confluence of heavily loaded symbols . and it\u2019s also hard not to see the film as a weak , if hypnotic , lynch - meets - jarmusch - meets - who - cares - meets - silverlake pastiche if you don\u2019t .\nlast year , jenny hval released a new album called apocalypse , girl . she\u2019s following it up this year with blood bitch . it\u2019s out september 30 via sacred bones , and it features the below track , \u201cfemale vampire . \u201d in a statement , hval called the album \u201can investigation of blood . \u201d she elaborated that the album is specifically about \u201cthe purest and most powerful , yet most trivial , and most terrifying blood : menstruation . the white and red toilet roll chain which ties together the virgins , the whores , the mothers , the witches , the dreamers , and the lovers . \u201d find the rest of her statement below along with the album ' s artwork . hval has also announced a series of tour dates ;

a unique work of literary fiction that fuses historical events with egyptian and greek mythology ; and a dark fantasy that cleverly reimagines the vampire mythos .\ni liked franco as a director and more importantly lina romay . this is probably one of francos better known efforts , however i find it drags in places as it has a dreamy and surreal quality to it . lina is great as always as the countess irina , but don ' t expect lots of blood and scares . there are two versions of this film on the bd , the\nbloodsucking\nversion known as\nerotikill\n, and the more adult orientated most well known version of\nfemale vampire\n. both are ok but unfortunately the print used here is still pretty bad , i believe though its the best available at this time . for those who need to know , the version featuring the h / c inserts is not on this edition . advertised as region 1 , it will in fact play on uk players .\nbarcelona trio lewis and the strange magics will release their debut album , velvet skin , aug . 21 through soulseller records . the full - length follows last year\u2019s impressive demo ( review here ) , which was among my favorite short releases of 2014 and tapped into that beatles ian sabbath ery while managing to at the same time remain distinct from uncle acid , who one could reasonably argue are the foremost practitioners of the form . all three tracks from the demo will appear on the upcoming record , but the new song \u201cfemale vampire\u201d is the first i\u2019m hearing from velvet skin and it proves even more individualized than the prior offering , the three - piece dug in deep to a circa - 1967 vision of lysergics that , in the clip , meets with circa - 1975 horror , the song taking its name from the title of a film released that year .\nresistance to the text is not simply about what has already occurred on the screen but about the likelihood of what might occur based on past experience of the text . fan emotional investment in the character , and in the story they had hoped they were getting about spike\u2019s redemption and his hoped - for winning of buffy\u2019s heart , is in conflict with aspects of the story that they are being told . ultimately , in the case of this fan\u2019s comment , the conflict involves questioning of the overtly feminist , female empowerment stance of the text itself .\nsome would argue the case that a top 10 of best lesbian vampire movies could easily be filled entirely with jess franco films and others would say that the terms \u201cbest\u201d and \u201cfranco\u201d are mutually exclusive . still , at least one of the spanish director\u2019s productions warrants a place in this list , and none more so than vampyros lesbos .\nvampire ' s thralls are often encountered along with vampires , though they are not actually vampires themselves . all of the thralls are based off the data used for bandits ( one - handed melee fighters , two - handed melee fighters , archers , and mages ) , so they use many different combat styles and can vary greatly in terms of strength , level , equipment , and known spells . they have their own faction and are considered friends to vampires . note that with one exception , thralls can never be\nfreed\n. killing all of the vampires in the area will not make their thralls become non - hostile . however , if you are a werewolf and you encounter a vampire and its thrall while you are in beast form , you can kill the vampire , change back to human form , then draw and sheathe your weapon as if you were surrendering . this will cause the surviving thrall to cease hostility . [ verification needed \u2014 is this true , or even notable ? ]\nvampires also have an ability called\nchill touch ,\nwhich creates an ice hazard that deals 10 points of frost damage . all vampires of level 12 or higher have a leveled ability called\nvampire touch\n, which grants a constant fortify unarmed damage bonus . the\nvampiric invisibility\nspell allows vampires to become invisible for 20 seconds .\nthe bloodless vampire is more the exception than the rule , of course . the genre still eagerly returns to some common signifiers , even after the pulp taboo has lost its thrill : the enigmatic calmness , the subtle effects on the natural world , the gleaming blood , the supernaturally pale skin . ( there\u2019s feminist subtext to be found in movies featuring vampires of color\u2014hollywood has doled out n\u2019bushe wright\u2019s dr . karen jenson , whose vampiric limbo in blade rallies her to the cause , lucy liu\u2019s vengeful sadie in the d - movie rise : blood hunter , and more recently the girl from a girl walks home alone at night \u2014but largely , cinematic vampirism is still a white woman\u2019s game . ) 2014\u2019s only lovers left alive centers a quietly feminist vampire that embodies all these qualities : eve ( tilda swinton ) , a bohemian dilettante with the calm mien of long and unquestioned autonomy . even her thirst is easily satisfied with bagged blood , with hunting as a last - ditch option ; she\u2019s a rare glimpse of the vampire with nothing left to rebel against .\nperhaps , to analyse the story of buffy , the vampire slayer only in terms of the \u201conscreen text\u201d may be , in terms of audience reception , a contraction of the buffyverse . spike fans are , more than \u201cdetermined , active readers\u201d of the buffyverse text , they ardently wrestle with it . joss whedon has talked of wanting interpretive passion from fans :\nvarney was an enormous influence on later vampire literature , such as dracula ( 1897 ) by bram stoker . many of today ' s standard vampire tropes originated with varney : varney has fangs , leaves two puncture wounds on the necks of his victims , has hypnotic powers , and has superhuman strength . unlike later fictional vampires , he is able to go about in daylight and has no particular fear or loathing of crosses or garlic . he can eat and drink in human fashion as a form of disguise , but he points out that human food and drink do not agree with him . his vampirism seems to be a fit that comes on him when his vital energy begins to run low ; he is a regular person between feedings .\nthe movie underperformed , and ended up being the last of universal\u2019s initial run of classic - monster movies , but zaleska\u2014longing to escape from patriarchal obligations\u2014became the first onscreen vampire with a feminist agenda . appearing less than a generation after american suffrage , a mere eight years after full u . k . suffrage , and three years before countess zaleska could have voted in romania , that\u2019s no small feat .\nreportedly , neither scott nor sarandon approved of the ending , seeing it as too neat a finish for a story suffused with the visual entropy of addiction . but it was the beginning of a new era for the vampire femme fatale\u2014one who sought to examine and understand her nature , and who often rejected her expected role , or asked the audience to reject their expectations . these were dracula\u2019s granddaughters .\ni\u2019ve been reviewing science fiction , fantasy , and horror for almost 20 years now\u2014and i\u2019ve been reading the stuff obsessively since i was a kid\u2014and during that time , i\u2019ve discovered some jaw - droppingly good vampire novels . and the fascinating thing is that quite a few of my most memorable bloodsucking reads have been either self - published or released by a relatively small press\u2014including more than half of the titles listed below .\nco - produced with acumen noise producer lasse marhaug , blood bitch is in many respects a complete 180\u00b0 from her last album , apocalypse , girl in subject matter , execution and production . it is hval\u2019s most focused album , but the lens is filtered through a gaze which the viewer least expects . jenny hval has developed her distinct take on intimate sound since the release of her debut album in 2006 . for her last two solo albums , hval has received thoughtful and widespread international acclaim for her fascinating voice , singular delivery and markedly non - traditional arrangements which incorporate elements of poetry , prose writing , performance art , and film . she eloquently brings to light issues of both male and female gaze .\nwhile the film ignores some of the classic vampire clich\u00e9s ( no sign of fangs anywhere ) , it also playfully acknowledges the classic lore : as vampires are generally allergic to running water , a visit to a shower proves to have a tragic outcome . ( not a problem that the vampyres ladies seem to share . ) similar to the shining , the elegant , but empty hotel adds tremendous value to the painfully beautiful atmosphere .\ni think doing good counts , even if all the motives aren\u2019t clean . it still matters to the world . the powers that be may be dragging spike ( albeit kicking and screaming ) to his higher purpose through his love for buffy . what greater irony or punishment can there be for a vampire who\u2019s killed two slayers , than to find himself in love with a third , striving to help her in her work for the rest of his existence . and , as for her . she who has problems with being high and mighty and full of pride and prejudice , what could bring her down to earth better than to tie her in love to a vampire who\u2019s working to change himself even though that change is * supposed * to be impossible . the powers that be obviously have a sense of humor . ( mary anne , tabula rasa ) .\ni described rowe\u2019s debut novel as \u201ca dark masterpiece that virtually burns the pages with a bloody incandescence . \u201d set in 1972 , the story begins in the guise of a relatively conventional fiction narrative following three broken\u2014and broke\u2014characters on a trek from toronto to parr\u2019s landing , a little mining town in \u201cthe middle of nowhere\u201d on the shores of lake superior in northern ontario . this will be one of the best vampire novels you ever read .\nbut fate reverses arash\u2019s fortunes , both financial and romantic , and he finds himself in the woman\u2019s bedroom with posters that appear to be classic shots of madonna and michael jackson \u2013 but , oddly , not quite . arash wants to make her a present of earrings and she allows him to pierce her ears with a safety pin sterilised with a flame from his zippo lighter \u2013 a romantic switching of the vampire - vampiree physical relations .\nagain , like fevre dream , how can an award - winning novel ( the golden won the 1994 locus award for best horror novel ) written by a genre fiction icon be under - appreciated ? for whatever reason , this vampiric masterpiece seems to be a novel that many vampire fiction lovers have overlooked . i described this one as \u201ca dark , poetic phantasmagoria of nightmarish images , brutal violence , and unholy sensuality not to be missed . \u201d\nthere is a character in this story that is a vampire orlando , traveling through time and space . but there is also a story here of a 35 - year old artist stuck in a touring loop , and wearing a black wig . she is always up at night , jet lagged , playing late night shows \u2013 and by day she is quietly resting over an arp odyssey synthesizer while a black van drives her around europe and america .\nthere is a character in this story that is a vampire orlando , traveling through time and space . but there is also a story here of a 35 - year old artist stuck in a touring loop , and wearing a black wig . she is always up at night , jet lagged , playing late night shows - and by day she is quietly resting over an arp odyssey synthesizer while a black van drives her around europe and america .\ni\u2019ve always been a sucker for stories which explore the grey area between good and evil , and for characters who are pitted against themselves as much as against any external enemies . and boy , is spike pitted against himself , far more than any human character in a similar situation could be . drusilla made william a vampire ; william remade himself into spike . throughout season five , in the face of considerable contempt and discouragement on the part of the good guys , spike\u2019s been remaking himself again into - what ? we\u2019re not entirely sure yet ; the work is still in progress . from a storytelling standpoint , i think it would be a cardinal mistake for the writers to give him a soul . that story has already been told . we know what happens when a vampire gains a soul . the reason spike\u2019s story is so fascinating is that we are exploring just how far a being can go in the direction of good without one . ( cummings , 2001 ) .\nthough some filmmakers ( like jean rollin ) explored this connection through original mythology , many drew on foolproof source material . sheridan le fanu\u2019s 1872 novel carmilla is a playground of psychosexual gothic tropes , including a lesbian vampire whose desire for a milquetoast ingenue eventually blows her cover . carmilla is a mysterious firebrand perfectly suited to cinema about women\u2019s taboo appetites . roger vadim adapted it as the surreal , slightly straightwashed baroque feature blood and roses , but perhaps the most familiar exploration is 1970\u2019s the vampire lovers . a more - faithful - than - expected hammer adaptation of carmilla , it follows enigmatic carmilla ( frequent hammer star ingrid pitt ) as she ingratiates herself with virgins of the country gentry , drawing them away from fianc\u00e9s and fathers , and putting them under her influence . with carmilla seducing victims in a very literal sense , that influence is largely erotic , to nobody\u2019s surprise : the source material is sapphic , the studio is hammer , and the gaze of the lens is male .\nalways looking out for something new , interesting or weird , i came upon watching some movies by joe d ' amato ( 11 days 11 nights series ) . these were so very bad , boring and uninventive that at least i could cry out : i ' ve finally found the world ' s worst director . not many weeks passed by when i watched les avaleuses ( female vampire ) . wow ! first i tried my super - magic - button : play with sound but 1 . 4 times faster ( something i never ever do except for joe d ' amato ) . it didn ' t help . the dialogue was so very thin , i couldn ' t bear it . i cannot remember ever experiencing something like this , all together : extremely 1 . bad actors ; 2 . senseless , stupid script ; 3 . awful soundtrack ; 4 . bad direction and 5 . absolutely nothing to say . not more than 1 year ago i thought the worst movie was o . c . and stiggs , but after having watched d ' amato and franco i kind of like the altman - film a bit . at least there ' s a drop of fun with dennis hopper in it . so the good news is : jesus franco you did it : les avaleuses is the worst film ever . . ."]}

ray contained both the regular 35mm print at 108 minutes and the\nfox grandeur\nversion filmed at 70mm and running 122 minutes . the fox grandeur version is certainly the way to watch it in my opinion and really showcases the vast landscapes and wide - open space of the land . while the cinematography was impressive , the film ' s simple narrative , wooden acting on john wayne ' s part and the scope was a little ambious for what we are given in the final product . the film apparently was a financial failure as it was filmed two times and dubbed in french and german as well as the native english and the costs were substancial . the film is essential viewing i would think for john wayne films , and while he would work on b -

( imagine how the new york post might fit the entire incident , with jeering condescension , into one paragraph of its \u201cnews of the weird\u201d column . ) as it is , though , \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d has a solidity and integrity that you might associate with sculpture more than film . it feels like something that had to come into the world , and in no other form .\ni don\u2019t know if i want to give cristian mungiu\u2019s beyond the hills more points or less now that i know it\u2019s loosely based on a true story . i find it more incredible but yet less considered as allegory is , at best , demoted within the narrative , and at worst not present at all . i\u2019m going for less .\nkristin ' s come a long way since her laguna beach and the hills days , which is one of the reasons why she wrote her new book , balancing in heels .\nwhen you were returning to reality tv on the hills , mtv was promoting your return with the slogan\nthe bitch is back .\ndo you feel like you deserved to be called\nthe bitch\n?\n\u201cbeyond the hills\u201d was filmed on location last winter , with mr . mungiu pushing his cast and himself to meet an ambitious deadline that would allow him to edit the film to two and a half hours to have it ready for showing at cannes . as a result he shot even in the midst of blinding snowstorms , a choice that helped give the film a bleakly beautiful look that echoes the mood of the story .\nfrom the very first image , as voichita squeezes through a railway station crowd , beyond the hills is deeply claustrophobic , and you ' ll want to take a deep breath when it ' s over . but you ' ll have been somewhere you could never have imagined otherwise \u2013 not just to an obscure corner of religious europe , but to murky , painful regions of the human soul .\n\u201c4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days\u201d had the clarity \u2014 and to some degree the comfort \u2014 of hindsight . viewers could be soothed by the knowledge , unavailable to the characters , that the nightmare of communism would soon be over . \u201cbeyond the hills , \u201d unfolding in a place that seems both post - communist and pre - modern , is in many ways a more troubled and ambiguous film . it investigates a mystery that grows deeper the more clearly it is seen .\nlike 4 months . . . , beyond the hills offers more in terms of narrative and emotional weight than conventional visual pleasure \u2013 though if you ' re partial to chilly realist starkness , you ' ll be in clover . oleg mutu ' s widescreen photography drapes the frame with blasted , snowy hillscapes , or frieze - like compositions of the sallow - faced nuns in their weird little pillbox hats .\nthat is the starting point of the romanian director cristian mungiu \u2019s \u201cbeyond the hills , \u201d which won two top prizes at the cannes film festival last year and opens in new york on friday . before long , however , the story takes a series of odd and increasingly menacing turns , as the viewer is plunged into a circumscribed world in which the word \u201ciconoclast\u201d recovers its original greek meaning , and exorcism is a tool that true believers wield in hopes of keeping apostasy at bay .\nas with the\nthe exorcist\n' s implicit praise of faith versus a monstrously rational medical establishment ,\nbeyond the hills\nbursts to life when discreetly expressing a passion for\u2026 passion . even in scenes that aren ' t set in blinding snow drifts , mungiu ' s frame gives off a bitter chill to make your teeth chatter , all the better to offset characters whose sense of devotion burns so fiercely as to prove fatal .\nmungiu\u2019s other highly acclaimed film , \u201c4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days , \u201d was slow , like \u201cbeyond the hills , \u201d but with a crucial difference : though it moved slowly , it felt like it was indeed going somewhere . the new film gives quite the opposite impression , repeating situations of indecision and inertia so frequently that you start to fear the movie won\u2019t ever actually arrive at its destination ( whatever it may be ) . as for the running time , i think a movie should be however long it needs to be to tell its story effectively , whether that\u2019s 80 minutes or 180 . \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d is too much of a chore to be effective ( unless its purpose is to be a chore ; more on that in a minute ) , so i don\u2019t know if a 90 - minute version would be any \u201cbetter\u201d than the 150 - minute one .\nas a storyteller mr . mungiu is both passionate and patient . \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d is long and slow moving , absorbed in the routines of monastic life and the emotional currents that ripple underneath its surface and occasionally spill out into the open . the rhythms of the film , and the rough intimacy of the camera work , allow you to experience both the calm order that voichita finds soothing and the unbearable confinement that alina experiences . in other words , even as mr . mungiu maintains a detached , objective point of view , allowing the details of the story to speak for themselves , he also allows you to glimpse the complex and volatile inner lives of his characters .\nerin kolirin\u2019s third feature , \u201cbeyond the mountains and hills , \u201d is his most profound film yet , but also the most problematic . profound because he\u2019s exploring the mixed feelings of so many israelis who try to rationalize their sense of personal identity against the dysfunction of the state : what does it mean to be a good person \u2014 or rather , to try to be a good person \u2014 in a society that doesn\u2019t reward good behavior ? problems come in the unbalanced way he expresses this idea , via a family uncertain of what they\u2019re looking for as they fall apart at the seams . it also doesn\u2019t help that the only arabs in the film are terrorists or potential rapists . certain to generate much heated discussion at home and abroad , \u201cbeyond\u201d is likely to see modest international sales .\nwhile not embraced with the quite the same degree of enthusiasm as \u201c4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days , \u201d cristian mungiu\u2019s follow - up still went over pretty well at the cannes film festival , nabbing both a screenplay prize and acting honors for its two young leads . but even that kind of endorsement doesn\u2019t match the level of enthusiasm stuart has expressed for the film , which can be found in a widely circulated pull quote in marketing materials . you call \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d a \u201cmasterpiece\u201d loaded with \u201cunstoppable momentum . \u201d\ncristian mungiu \u2019s \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d is a tough and engrossing work of realism , set in rural romania in the dead of winter , but it also has some of the shadowy magic of an ancient folk tale . at its heart are two orphan girls \u2014 one dark , one fair \u2014 whose destinies are entwined even as their paths in life have diverged . one of them has fallen under a malign and powerful spell , or maybe both of them have .\nthe result is a movie that is simultaneously analytical and empathic . based on the real - life case of an exorcism gone wrong , \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d might have easily have succumbed to sensationalism or scolding , flattering the sophistication of an audience accustomed to regarding religion with contempt or condescension . but while mr . mungiu , inspired by the romanian journalist tatiana niculescu bran\u2019s books about the incident ( which took place in a moldavian convent in 2005 ) , hardly casts spiritual authority in a flattering light , he also refuses to derive easy or comforting lessons .\nquite absorbing despite its deliberate pace and running time , this is mungiu\u2019s first feature since \u201c4 months\u201d won the palme d\u2019or in 2007 and confirmed a creative renaissance in romanian cinema ( he also produced the 2009 omnibus work \u201c tales from the golden age \u201d ) . while it may be unreasonable to expect lightning to strike twice , \u201c beyond the hills \u201d is so clearly a companion piece to \u201c4 months\u201d that it naturally summons comparisons : once again , mungiu explores the powerful bond between two young women trying to negotiate the boundaries of a particular prison .\neight years ago the appearance of cristi puiu ' s the death of mr lazarescu , a stoical , grimly funny story about the ghastly legacy of the ceausescu regime , won a major prize at cannes . it was soon followed by cristian mungiu ' s 4 months , 3 weeks & 2 days , which won the palme d ' or at cannes and seemed to confirm that something remarkable was happening in the romanian cinema . now , after a longish wait , mungiu has made another feature , beyond the hills , a painful and exacting picture that confirms his position as a film - maker of the first rank .\neditor\u2019s note : critical consensus is a biweekly feature in which two critics from indiewire\u2019s criticwire network discuss new releases with indiewire\u2019s chief film critic , eric kohn . in this installment , kohn trades e - mails with the nation film critic stuart klawans and urltoken contributor eric d . snider about cristian mungiu \u2019s \u201c beyond the hills , \u201d which opens in new york and los angeles this week ahead of a national roll - out and video - on - demand release .\nthe physical locations used are ideal for conveying the sense of separation , even without actual walls : the greenbaums live on one side of a barren , unlit hill , the arabs on the other , with a no - man\u2019s land between them where encounters are possible but always on uneven terms . is there a place \u201cbeyond the mountains\u201d ? the film implies that such a location is the very definition of \u201cterra incognita . \u201d\nbeyond the hills\nis an arthouse film from romania , yet , in its slow , lurching progress toward a tragic exorcism , it is a stylistic nephew of america ' s\nthe exorcist .\nwilliam friedkin ' s classic adaptation of a william peter blatty novel was pitched as popcorn entertainment for nervous christians , whereas director cristian mungiu ' s embellishment of a true story ( from the\nnon - fiction novels\nby tatiana niculescu bran ) ultimately laments superstition , ignorance and indifference .\nbeyond the hills is a disturbing watch but knowing that it is based on a true story makes the whole experience even more painful . like cristian mungiu\u2019s previous film , the incredible and unforgettable 4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days this is a disheartening portrayal of the friendship between two women where one tries to stop the other one from the ultimate descent into misery and despair . mungiu narrates this soul - shattering story with sadistic determination and by asking questions which are almost impossible to answer he creates a nightmarish experience which will put the viewers in a state of shock and confusion for days . mungiu\u2019s style\u2026\nit\u2019s the filmmaker\u2019s fair - minded approach that ultimately gets the better of his material ( adapted from journalist tatiana niculescu bran\u2019s investigation of a real - life 2005 incident ) , compounded by a frustrating unwillingness or inability to penetrate his characters\u2019 thoughts . there are deeper forces and mysteries to this tale than a strictly observational approach , however unblinking , can entirely capture . observing the situation at an icy remove , \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d never builds the palpable menace and pressure - cooker anxiety of \u201c4 months , \u201d and its dramatic progression feels obvious , even predictable , by comparison .\nthe tension between the two is almost as sizzling as the heat of the spanish sun . the man , while urging the girl to have the operation , says again and again that he really doesn ' t want her to do it if she really doesn ' t want to . however , he clearly is insisting that she do so . the girl is trying to be brave and nonchalant but is clearly frightened of committing herself to having the operation . she tosses out a conversational , fanciful figure of speech \u2014 noting that the hills beyond the train station\nlook like white elephants\n\u2014 hoping that the figure of speech will please the man , but he resents her ploy . he insists on talking even more about the operation and the fact that , according to what he ' s heard , it ' s\nnatural\nand\nnot really an operation at all .\neric , i\u2019d like to dig into some of the reservations you have about this movie . in your review , you called it \u201can interminable one - note punishment\u201d that \u201cmoves slowly and repetitively\u201d and yet it seems that you liked \u201c4 months\u201d a lot more . what was it about \u201c4 months\u201d that worked so much better for you ? and since you called out the new movie\u2019s 150 minute running time , when do you feel that such a length is justified in a movie ? would \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d have worked for you if it ran 90 minutes ?\nthe tensions between the spiritual and the secular , groups and individuals , are examined in intelligent , creepily insinuating but not entirely satisfying fashion in \u201c beyond the hills . \u201d set largely within the physical and psychological confines of a rural monastery , this latest work from gifted romanian writer - director cristian mungiu boasts the same formal control and somber realism that distinguished \u201c4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days . \u201d but mungiu\u2019s slow - burning , scrupulously evenhanded portrait of religious hysteria rarely achieves that film\u2019s gut - level intensity , leaving audiences with an accomplished but bleak 152 - minute picture that will require favorable critical attention to find an arthouse niche .\n: the man who leaves and the man who comes back are not the same .\n\u201dthe one who leaves and the one who comes back are not the same . \u201d\nlike an israeli american beauty , beyond is very much about what lurks beneath the facade of a seemingly perfect family \u2014 the frustration and disillusion , but also the bonds that hold people together through thick and thin . while that isn ' t the most original theme to tackle , kolirin adds a more compelling element by focusing on the politically charged atmosphere of contemporary israel , including the constant hunt for terrorists and the bomb scares faced by residents on a daily basis .\nromanian new wave director cristian mungiu\u2019s beyond the hills is an oppressively stark and hauntingly solemn examination of the crisis of faith in people and the clash between worldly desires and religious vows , depicting a seemingly mundane albeit intriguing story that is as powerful as his bleak , cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 masterpiece 4 months , 3 weeks , and 2 days . it also inexorably flirts with the topic of blind piety , a deed that could do more harm than good even if the intention is of righteousness and innocuous concern . at first , the film reminded me a lot of black narcissus , but with a twist on the relationships of the lead players and a deliberately languid pacing , not to mention a sparser , technicolor - free surrounding . \u2026\nwe\u2019ve established that this movie takes its time , but haven\u2019t really explored much about what happens in it . eric hinted at mungiu\u2019s apparent disdain for the orthodox church , but to me the movie leaves this element somewhat vague . is it the church itself or this particular church in the filmmaker\u2019s crosshairs ? in other words , is this movie truly an indictment of an entire institution or specifically about people who work within its constraints to destructive ends ? i\u2019m reminded of the recent debate swirling around \u201czero dark thirty\u201d and various critics\u2019 attempts to figure out whether the movie celebrates the use of torture to achieve satisfactory results . \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d also finds a group of religious ideologues torturing a helpless victim in the alleged service of what they believe to be a commendable goal .\nit would also be too glib to say that mr . mungiu places blame on the orthodox church , romanian society or something more abstract , like the modern world or human nature . but all of these forces are implicated in a precise , rigorous drama that is also an earnest attempt at social criticism and philosophical inquiry . like this director\u2019s breakthrough film , \u201c4 months , 3 weeks and 2 days , \u201d which was set in the last years of the ceausescu dictatorship , \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d depicts a world that seems to have been organized to undermine solidarity and stigmatize decency . and like the earlier movie it explores this terrifying moral landscape by examining the fragile friendship of two young women who are neither innocent victims nor fearless heroines .\nextremely long and harrowing , beyond the hills has been accused of being deliberately slow . but i found it riveting to watch and fascinating to think about afterwards . it ' s morally adroit in the way that the difficult , contrarian , ungrateful alina is turned into a sympathetic character after first appearing to be merely an unbalanced troublemaker . the film ends on an ambiguous image , devastating in its simplicity . a battered police van , its confused passengers brought to the city as witnesses to inexplicable events , has stopped in a potholed street . the driver has just heard that the public prosecutor they ' re going to see is tied up with the case of a young man who ' s murdered his mother and published photographs of his crime on the local social network . a passing vehicle splashes filthy slush on the van ' s windscreen , which the wipers are attempting to clear as the film fades to black .\ni might begin by saying these films would be unwatchable for ordinary moviegoers , and so the lonely , embittered critic needs to elevate them above all doubters and detractors \u2014 but that would be too cynical a self - judgment . although i might be wrongheaded , i remain convinced that open - minded people , even if they are well - socialized and unaccustomed to art - house fare , might nevertheless fall head - first into any of these pictures , despite the patience with which the filmmakers observe the world , the modesty with which they allow information to emerge and the restraint with which they manage the turning points of the plot ( if any ) . i can testify to having seen a thoroughly unprepared civilian become mesmerized by \u201cd\u2019est , \u201d and i fervently believe that other civilians could be similarly enthralled by \u201cbeyond the hills . \u201d\nclick here to read about the czech documentaries selected for the competition of the 53rd karlovy vary iff .\nhills like white elephants\nis set in spain . an american man and a girl are sitting at an outdoor caf\u00e9 in a spanish train station , waiting for a fast , non - stop train coming from barcelona that will take them to madrid , where the girl will have an abortion .\nkristin cavallari : laguna beach was definitely not as manufactured as the hills was for me . laguna beach was more putting us in situations where we normally wouldn ' t be in or hanging out with people we wouldn ' t necessarily hang out with . in the hills , i knew sort of this character that they wanted me to play . when i decided to come on board , i made a decision and i was like ,\nok , this is my job and i ' m going to separate my hills life from my real life .\nit happened on laguna beach where you don ' t know what ' s real and fake and i saw cast members who couldn ' t distinguish what was real and what was fake anymore . it was kind of scary to see so i kept them very separate so that i didn ' t go crazy .\nin this case , it\u2019s one built on the unyielding foundations of religious dogma , a subject that should resonate well beyond the boundaries of the unconsecrated orthodox monastery where the film is set . in this remote moldavian enclave , consisting of a simple chapel and a few huts cut off from electricity or running water , a strict but not unkind local priest ( valeriu andriuta ) oversees an order of young nuns who refer to him as \u201cfather\u201d or \u201cpapa . \u201d\nstuart klawans : it\u2019s a form of critical three - card monte , this business of calling a new film a masterpiece . the red card \u2014 the one bearing the carefully thought - out analysis \u2014 is supposed to be moving around on the cardboard box , but somehow , under cover of the m - word distraction , it never flips up . so you are right to call me on my having resorted to the term . while admitting that my memory is faulty , i can recall only three other instances in the past 25 years of reviewing when i have slapped the masterpiece label on a new film : \u201ctaste of cherry , \u201d \u201cd\u2019est\u201d and \u201cthe turin horse . \u201d i remark on the relative infrequency of these dodges not to excuse myself for them but to open a question : what do these films have in common with \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d that would prompt me to throw up my hands and say , in effect , \u201clisten , just trust me , they\u2019re great . \u201d\nthe film new europe ( fne ) association is the networking platform for film professionals in the cee / see / baltics region . the webportal and fne newswire was chosen as the main tool to achieve the network\u2019s objectives of the sharing of know how , visibility of regional cultural diversity and finally the voice of the region .\npriest : the man who leaves and the man who comes back are not the same . see more \u00bb\nat times , he and dp shai goldman ( the kindergarten teacher ) transform such incidents into visual poetry , such as in a memorable sequence where rina directs her students through a shelter drill like a choreographer working a team of ballet dancers . but there are also moments when the rhythm , despite an efficient 90 - minute running time , seems to drag , and though beyond offers a decent payoff during the third act , it takes a while to get there and loses some intensity along the way .\nhere we are with the final version of the game ! in this version we have changed all the intro , 1st chapter\u2019s puzzles and some puzzles from chapter 2 , plus a few storytelling details throughout the game . these changes were necessary for the consistency of the game mechanics and storytelling of the game . in addition we improved the ui and some graphics and introduced the title \u201ca new beginning\u201d which reflects the storyline of the complete game .\nbeyond the hills is less fun than any film about lesbian nuns and their psychotic ex -

looking mountains on one side of the train station and to the fertile plains on the other side of the train station . the hills of spain , to the girl , are like white elephants in their bareness and round , protruding shape . also notable is that\nwhite elephant\nis a term used to refer to something that requires much care and yielding little profit ; an object no longer of any value to its owner but of value to others ; and something of little or no value . throughout this dialogue , the girl ' s crumbling realization that she is not truly loved is a strong undercurrent that creates tension and suppressed fear .\nmoving at an unhurried pace mungiu lavishes attention on backdrop details that underline the particular character of the story , such as the rudimentary conditions the nuns live in ( no running water and no electricity ) , the unpaved roads and the frozen winter landscape .\n\u00b7 the priest grates on alina for the first time , carrying on about the sinful gender confusion in the west \u2014 and at this stage she lets him run on .\ndavid is discharged from the army after serving for 27 years . he returns to his family after being distanced from them for years and tries to find himself in his new civilian life . he believes that he will find his way in some managerial position in the private sector , but he has difficulties adapting to the pace of the \u201cnew israel\u201d , a competitive culture obsessed with success and money . more often than not , he finds himself alone at home , watching a morning tv - show or listening to the radio . when a friend suggests working as a salesman , he sees this as an opportunity to get his foot into the door of the business world and make something of himself . but it soon turns out a bitter failure . also the rest of the family gets deeply into trouble : his daughter tries to overcome boredom and futility by reaching out beyond the mountains and hills , and becomes entangled in an emotional and political mess . his wife , a school teacher , embarks on an affair with one of her students , humiliating herself , and subsequently provoking her son to a violent act of vengeance . good people living in a bad reality , helplessly caught in the maze of today\u2019s israel .\nkc : mtv didn ' t come to me to star in my own reality show but they came to me to go on the hills numerous times . i kept being like ,\nno , that ' s lauren ' s thing \u2014 i ' m not going to do it .\nbut with her leaving , obviously , it was too good of an opportunity to pass up .\nit is a wonder that this story was published at all . when it was written , authors were expected to guide readers through a story . in\nhills like white elephants ,\nthough , hemingway completely removes himself from the story . readers are never aware of an author ' s voice behind the story . compare this narrative technique to the traditional nineteenth - century method of telling a story . then , such authors as dickens or trollope would often address their readers directly .\n\u00b7 the exorcism ensues , and is as grueling as the film needs it to be .\nhop , skip , and jump worshops \u2013 the product and the process by david m . israel\npersuasively , and in convincing detail , a steadily escalating conflict grows between the father and the recalcitrant alina . it threatens the stability of the monastery and then spreads out to involve the nearby town . the run - down local hospital is involved , along with alina ' s former foster family and the police . lurking outside officialdom are hints of exploitation and abuse in the form of sexual predators and traffickers who are preying on orphans and vulnerable teenagers with the community ' s tacit consent . on the face of it , the battle is over voichita and alina ' s attempt to make her quit romania . but beyond this , and much deeper and less personal , is a challenge to a rigid , unreasonable and unreasoning authority . alina is physically ill , probably suffering from tuberculosis , and mentally troubled , possibly schizophrenic . in the climactic scene she becomes the object of a brutal exorcism that is at once horrific and farcical . but in accepting her position as outsider , outcast and , ultimately , martyr , she exposes the hypocrisy , petty cruelty , indifference and lack of charity in a whole society .\nbut as david embarks on a new phase of his life , trying his hand at marketing dietary supplements , his household starts to fall apart , especially after he frustratingly fires his gun into the \u201chills\u201d of the film\u2019s title and winds up killing an innocent palestinian . as it turns out , the victim had met ifat just a few days before , and while the young girl goes off on a guilt trip that will take her into dicey territory , rina begins having an affair with one of her teenage students ( yoav rothman ) \u2014 in a subplot that will eventually connect with the greater story of david\u2019s unraveling .\nfirst , it describes the landscape lying just outside the apartment complex where a clan of four lives in relative harmony , at least for the time being . second , it signifies the horizon toward which the father of the house \u2014 a recently retired army officer \u2014 must turn as he faces semi - retirement and an uncertain future . finally , it designates the hidden menace faced by the rest of the family as they make life - changing decisions that will hurdle them into the unknown .\n1 . the master ( paul thomas anderson , usa ) ( review ) 2 . tabu ( miguel gomes , portugal / germany / france ) ( review ) 3 . amour ( michael haneke , france / germany / austria ) ( review ) 4 . holy motors ( leos carax , france / germany ) ( review ) 5 . beasts of the southern wild ( benh zeitlin , usa ) ( review ) = berberian sound studio ( peter strickland , uk / germany ) ( review ) 7 . moonrise kingdom ( wes anderson , usa ) ( review ) 8 . beyond the hills ( christian mungiu , romania / france / belgium ) ( review ) = cosmopolis ( david cronenberg , canada / france / portugal / italy ) ( review ) = once upon a time in anatolia ( nuri bilge ceylan , turkey / bosnia & herzegovina ) ( review ) = this is not a film ( jafar pahani & mojtaba mirtahmaseb , iran ) ( review )\nes : i hope kael was lying about never watching movies a second time . if she was telling the truth , she was being needlessly stubborn and limiting her own edification . i love the experience of re - watching something and finding new things to appreciate . i used to write a regular column where i\u2019d re - watch films several years later that i either loved or hated the first time to see how my feelings changed . usually they didn\u2019t change much . but occasionally there\u2019d be a movie where the passage of time between viewings or my own experiences in the interim ( or both ) caused me to see it in a different light . it doesn\u2019t mean i was \u201cwrong\u201d the first time ; it just means i\u2019ve acquired new information or experiences that alter my perspective . my sour memories of \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d are too tender for me to be in a hurry to re -

okay , maybe there\u2019s a little too much patience here - and the way he\u2019ll allow his camera to sit on his actors . it\u2019s spielberg - lite to me - long takes where the performers come to the camera or the camera might come to the performers , they might step into or out of the frame , the camera itself might reframe . there\u2019s a steady command which contrasts with the madness and and teeth gnashing of particularly the last 40 minutes . and make no mistake , this film damn near becomes a full - on horror movie by the end .\nlet\u2019s admit , though , that the priest\u2019s set - up represents an entrenched , strikingly backward strain of religiosity in romania . the question is whether a local , quasi - official institutionalization of this religiosity is any worse than the local , fully official institutions of the medical profession , the child - care and educational system , the emigration and labor authorities or the police . and while we\u2019re assessing the culpabilities , we might as well throw in the behavior of private citizens , such as the foster parents who have taken such good care of alina , and of the operators of those boat cruises in germany , where the full range of a young waitress\u2019s job description is left to the imagination .\nfne\u2019s objectives include visibility for the region and audiences for films by providing a special focus on the region .\nthat said , during the latter part of the 1990s , this story became one of the most anthologized of hemingway ' s short stories . in part , this new appreciation for the story lies in hemingway ' s use of dialogue to convey the\nmeaning\nof the story \u2014 that is , there is no description , no narration , no identification of character or intent . we have no clear ideas about the nature of the discussion ( abortion ) , and yet the dialogue does convey everything that we conclude about the characters .\nthus we come to the title of the story . the girl has looked at the mountains and has said that they look\nlike white elephants .\nimmediately , a tension between the two mounts until the man says ,\noh , cut it out .\nshe maintains that he started the argument , then she slips into apology , stating that , of course , the mountains don ' t really look like white elephants \u2014 only\ntheir skin through the trees .\ncannes wouldn\u2019t be cannes without a little flag -

after scores of films about gangsters in the early days of cinema , features about organized crime largely receded until the 70s and 80s , when pictures like scarface and the godfather series created a resurgent interest in \u201cfuggedaboutit\u201d movies that didn\u2019t really survive into the 90s . the last great genre piece from that era was goodfellas , which came out two years before innocent blood , and as far as prestige cinema goes , there\u2019s really no comparison between the two . landis\u2019 american werewolf endures because its story blended horror and comedy more successfully than innocent blood does , and its striking effects work made it stand out despite being released the same year as both the howling and wolfen . aside from rickles\u2019 character\u2019s ( admittedly well done ) death sequence , innocent blood doesn\u2019t have american werewolf \u2018s tangible viscerality ; overall , innocent blood is a much cheaper - looking movie . if i didn\u2019t know better , i would assume that it was a cinemax made - for - tv film , and would never have guessed that landis was involved .\nthis article is a stub . you can help horror film wiki by expanding it .\nhaven ' t seen this film in years and had forgotten how good it was .\nunsuccessful film from the mind of an american werewolf in london . same concept just never works\nwith consummate artistry and the self - assurance that comes from experience , master helmer marco bellocchio continues to play with form and content with an originality that make younger directors look like they\u2019re grasping at ephemeral straws . \u201cblood of my blood , \u201d a two - part film starting with the 17th - century story of a fallen nun and shifting to the [ \u2026 ]\nfirst blood ( also known as rambo or rambo : first blood outside the united states ) , is a 1982 action / thriller film directed by ted kotcheff . the film stars sylvester stallone as john rambo , a troubled and misunderstood vietnam war veteran , with hope , washington sheriff will teasle ( brian dennehy ) as his nemesis , and colonel samuel trautman ( richard crenna ) as his former commander and only ally . it was released on october 22 , 1982 .\na 1992 black comedy horror film from director john landis . essentially , vampires meet the mafia .\nthis hungarian film is a careful , compassionate and beautifully acted character drama with a social conscience .\nbritnee : innocent blood is an excellent horror - comedy as well as a truly entertaining film with an unforgettable plot and cast ( well , except for marie ) . the true gem of this film isn\u2019t the vampiric mafia or the vampire / human romance ;

in audience that comes from being an adaptation , either ) . as a result , it failed to gain the prominence or immortality that other movies in the same vein and of the same era did . it just wasn\u2019t gruesome enough , or memorable enough , or gangstery enough . in shooting for a middle ground , it ended up having too many ideas ; consequently , it failed to stick in the public consciousness in a meaningful way .\ni really like this movie . i\u2019ve seen dozens of vampire films and most of them are lacking things like . . . plots . direction . cinematography . scripts . innocent blood was clearly made with a sufficient budget and by a team who knew what they were doing . it isn\u2019t scary enough to really be a horror movie , although it pays homage to the genre . there are schlock elements , but all in all it feels too mainstream for me to consider it a camp film .\na horror comedy about a vampire from the director of an american werewolf in london ? it ' s fair to say that i had some pretty high expectations when i first watched innocent blood . those expectations weren ' t met , and i didn ' t ever revisit the film over the next couple of decades . i ' m not sure whether that is a good or bad thing , because this long overdue rewatch has made me realise that there ' s a lot here to enjoy .\nshannon plumb , the wife of director derek cianfrance , has questioned the validity of film critics in an open essay that accuses them of costing her husband ' s new film\na couple million dollars\nat the us box office .\njohn landis has a specific style to his \u201chorror\u201d movies that is felt in innocent blood . the violence and gore are undercut by jokes and visual humor that softens the blow of the horror . the mixture of genres makes the film entertaining to a wider variety of audience . while the casting of parillaud is a strange choice of marie , she is able to pull it off . her accent is very strong and makes her a bit difficult to understand at times yet her movements and actions really solidify her as decent actress .\nwatched the german dvd of innocent blood [ released as bloody marie ] because it ' s the only version that has all of the gore intact [ on dvd , apparently the new bluray is also uncut ] , it had been at least 15 years since the last time i saw this and it held up , i remembered more cameos than what appeared here [ frank oz , dario argento , tom savini ] , i must have mixed up some of the cameos in garris ' film from the same year , sleepwalkers .\nthe movie\u2019s director , li yang , dismissed as \u201cridiculous\u201d the idea that suspects in isolated corners of the countryside had seen his film . because of its grim plot , the chinese authorities banned the film before it was released , and it has rarely been seen except by urban film enthusiasts . even mr . li had difficulty tracking down bootleg dvds of it , he said .\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 .\nclass reunion 2 : wedding and funeral , the sequel to the 2016 film still holding the box office record in estonia , directed by ren\u00e9 vilbre and produced by taska film , was also finished in 2017 with the premiere scheduled for 13 february 2018 .\nlandis backs up this silliness with copious televisions playing ancient b - movies featuring familiar monsters like stop - motion dinosaurs , escaped gorillas , bela lugosi , and christopher lee . at the same time , on - screen televisions also take time to play more respectable fare , like the hitchcock film strangers on a train . i think these movie selections are a great representation of what landis was intending to do here : marrying a schlock aesthetic with the higher production value of a \u201creal\u201d film . it\u2019s that exact push & pull that made me fall in love with innocent blood as a dark comedy , when i initially wasn\u2019t expecting to get much out of it .\ninnocent blood is a movie i just can ' t stand . i know it ' s not trying to be great , but it ' s so bad i had trouble making it through the whole thing . john landis has made good movies that i ' ve really liked , so it ' s weird i hate this so much . the whole vampires -

comedy\nvein\nhe mined in an american werewolf in london in innocent blood . anne parillaud plays marie , a lonely vampire trapped in pittsburgh and looking for some fresh blood . when a local gang war breaks out , marie sees it as the perfect cover for her blood feasts . her plan is to dine on the goodfellas (\nwhat about italian ?\nshe asks ) and then destroy the evidence of her supper with a well - directed gun blast . but the coroner sees something usual when he gets to examine the gangland corpses ,\nthere ' s a problem . not enough blood . this guy ' s about five quarts too low .\nmeanwhile , an undercover cop named joe gennaro ( anthony lapaglia ) begins to suspect that marie might be responsible for the killings after witnessing her lighter -

- back from the grave but lusting after blood . sal wants to start a new race of mob vampires , deadfellas . this forces marie to team up with joe to stop sal ' s blood brothers from taking over pittsburgh .\ninnocent blood has a lot of elements of a movie made by a fan for fans . it is a vampire movie that takes a humorous look at the common tropes of the time and mocks it . like a joe dante film , this movie is rife with cameos from linnea quigley , sam raimi , tom savini , forrest j . ackerman , frank oz , and dario argento which are amusing to see but occasionally take me out of the movie when saying \u201chey , isn\u2019t that so and so ? \u201d during the film . still , the love of the horror genre is felt and it does come off like a genuine appreciation towards films in a similar vein ( pun not intended ) .\nbritnee : this may sound a bit crazy , but i don\u2019t really think of innocent blood as being a vampire movie . i know that there are indeed many vampires in the film , but they aren\u2019t the sexy , mysterious vampires that dominate the vamp movie world . they\u2019re a group of grotesque undead dudes that look more like zombies than actual vampires , and as brandon previously stated , they are killed off like zombies as well . of course , marie does fall into the sexy vampire category , but she wasn\u2019t really a big part of the film . even when she did have her vampire moments , she reminded me more of a werecat from the 80s film cat people than an actual vampire . landis was attempting to almost reinvent the vampire , but in 1992 , the world just wasn\u2019t ready for something so huge . the general public would have probably better received the film if landis stuck to more traditional vampire guidelines , but i am ever so grateful that he didn\u2019t . the film\u2019s many deviances make it a cult masterpiece , which is 100 times more valuable than a box office hit .\nin her essay , plumb claims that several outlets ignored the film ' s embargo and posted their negative reviews days before the premiere .\nit has an excellent cast ; while you might not recognize everyone , they will look familiar . robert loggia plays an excellent mob boss , while anne parillaud is simply amazing as a seemingly - innocent , strong , yet seductive vampire heroine .\ninnocent blood\nis an uncomfortable marriage of vampires and mobsters ; it doesn ' t work on either the supernatural or the criminal level . the payoff , in which the gangsters find that they ' ve become vampires , is an exercise in missed opportunities . more ' s the pity , then , that the movie contains an intriguing character in marie , a vampire who is woman enough to spare at least one man from her fangs .\nhad not seen this one in a while so i picked it up . nice overlooked john landis vampire movie with a unique cast . part\ngoodfellas\npart\ntrue blood\n. features the beautiful anne parillaud (\nle fem nikita\n) as the sexy vampire . only drawback is these american dvd versions do not present the film in its original widescreen ratio . if you really love the film look for an import version until wb decides to do a new release .\nthis film has minor cult movie status , in part because it is rarely available or shown on tv . there is very little fanfic .\nin 2016 , the annual state support for film industry was 9 , 877 , 146 eur with 7 , 025 , 151 eur from the estonian film institute , 2 , 141 , 995 eur from the cultural endowment , and 710 , 000 eur from the ministry of culture .\nwith consummate artistry and the self -

defined metaphor , i believe that the film is perfectly entertaining as is . it\u2019s curious to me that innocent blood is the sole screenplay credit for writer michael wolk , as i believe he did a fantastic job of establishing a distinct kind of mob - themed horror comedy that i\u2019ve never seen on film before . when his screenplay works it really works , flaws & false starts be damned .\nuring the 1970s there was a queasy urban myth that , in new york cinemas , drug dealers were skulking down the aisles at midnight shows jabbing innocent moviegoers with needles , so instantly enslaving them to heroin . after one single viewing of kill bill volume 1 , starring\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\ncreative industries development centre creative gate received 300 , 000 eur to create an international platform as a gateway for film and audiovisual industry in collaboration with creative and service sector partners . the central export marketing channel of creative gate is the annual industry @ tallinn , a part of the tallinn black nights film festival .\nit wasn ' t a message that stirred the audiences , nor was it a great performance . . . they were aroused by pure film .\nthis is blue valentine director cianfrance ' s first film since the place beyond the pines in 2012 . you can read plumb ' s full essay here .\nsince its release , first blood has been a critical and commercial success , and has had a lasting influence on the genre . it has also spurred countless parodies . the film is notable for its psychological portrayal of the after -

knuckle tension . and chris\u2019 ( daniel kaluuya ) periodic phone calls to his hilariously skeptical black friend at home ( lilrel howery ) are like a merry - prankster greek chorus commenting on the whole get -

campless first half of the film really wasn\u2019t doing it for me . it felt like landis was splitting his time between making both a mediocre vampire movie & a mediocre mob film . there was a little fun to be had in the way marie talked about her \u201cfood\u201d ( read : victims ) in lines like \u201chow about italian ? \u201d & \u201cnever play with the food\u201d and the dissonance between her glowing - eyes blood feasts & the sinatra - scored , bargain bin scorsese mob aesthetics , but it didn\u2019t feel all that special as an example of either genre . innocent blood didn\u2019t truly win me over until it devolved into utter chaos , a change that gets kicked off sometime around when mob boss sallie \u201cthe shark\u201d macelli is turned & starts assembling cinema\u2019s ( as far as i know ) very first vampire mafia . there\u2019s some respectable noir influence in the dark alleys & detective work of the back half , but it\u2019s the black comedy & campy vampire mob shenanigans that make the movie shine . it\u2019s hard for me to read scenes like don rickles\u2019 vampire transformation or that never - ending , super - kinky , thrust - heavy sex scene as anything but exercises in camp .\nthe story and concept is fun and the threat of seeing a mobster turn vampire and then turning his underlings into his vampire followers is a cool idea . casting don rickles as a mob lawyer is fun to watch and creates some amusing scenes that make the movie as lighthearted as an american werewolf in london . the effects in innocent blood are not as impressive as an american werewolf in london but it still okay enough to keep people in the movie . anthony lapaglia is sort of the \u201cdry white toast\u201d of the movie . he does not really make a compelling character but he is the audience surrogate walking them through the movie .\nthe horror fan in me appreciated both the gore , and the portroyal of vampires . leading female vampire aside , the vampires are portrayed as monsters , much like the film nosferatu and 30 days of night . the mob movie fan appreciated the seedy atmosphere and brutality of the mobsters . and the comedy movie fan appreciated the subtle jokes and lighthearted humor in an otherwise dark , dreary , and violent film .\na middle - aged farmer who lived nearby was blunter . asking that his name not be used for fear of recriminations , he wrote a letter in case he was ever asked about the cases , which said , \u201cthere are eight homes in this little village that have been built from human blood . \u201d\ndoes all star actors don rickles is a scream in this movie . scary but not blood monster tear apart . but more like jump out and boo . another movie i had to have in my collection ! you might want to consider having it in yours too . if you don ' t already ewing \ud83e\udd8a\nif he were to remake the film today , mr . li said in a telephone interview , \u201cit wouldn\u2019t have anything different , except the amounts of money scammed would be larger and the perpetrators would be gangs . \u201d\na modern day vampire tale about a very beautiful french vampire named marie . marie is a vampire , unlike any other as she only feeds on bad people who do bad things . sex and blood are her main course , and one night she goes for italian . when she feeds on a ruthless crime boss named sal\nthe shark\nmacelli , she is discovered by an undercover cop , and does not finish him off in order to prevent him from turning . unfortunately , macelli wakes up very confused and extremely thirsty . . . for blood . now , marie and her newfound lover must stop macelli and his gang of vampires .\nmarie is a vampire who prefers not to eat innocent people ; instead she goes after gangsters and other dangerous criminals , and decides to target the mob led by macelli . since she doesn ' t want to create more vampires she shoots her victims in the neck to cover bite marks and destroy their spines , ensuring that they will stay dead and making her attacks look like mob killings .\nwhiplash was perhaps the most buzzy ,\nhave you seen it yet ?\nfilm of 2014 , and winning major oscars off a budget of $ 3 . 3 million was no mean feat . damien chazelle managed to make a film about drumming absolutely edge -

i felt like the director himself had cacklingly jammed his hypodermic into my throbbing arm . really , no one delivers that sheer , aneurism - inducing rush with the same intravenous efficiency as tarantino . it may not be the best film of the year , nor the best tarantino film . but it ' s sure as hell got to be the best way , the only way , to mainline pure adrenaline in the cinema . whether this results in euphoria or nausea depends on the needle - user .\nbrandon : there\u2019s a near endless list of metaphors that have been attached to vampirism in the past , ranging from as disparate of meanings as the unchecked thirst for power erin mentioned to the powerlessness of cyclical depression & drug addiction . i\u2019m just not seeing anything explicit in innocent blood that suggests a clear metaphor . the mobsters\u2019 thirst for power angle erin suggests is something i\u2019d buy , with plenty of evidence backing it up in the film , but where exactly does that leave marie as a character ? the more i reflect on the emptiness of marie\u2019s general presence , i\u2019m left thinking that the movie could\u2019ve been so much better without her . it\u2019s as if she were a starting point that eventually lead landis & writer michael wolk to the much more fleshed out undead mobster concept . if marie had been left on the editing room floor or at the very least taken a backseat after she got the mobster plot rolling , we might have a much tighter plotted movie . the befuddled law enforcement pov boomer suggested above in particular could\u2019ve been worth a try . then again , we wouldn\u2019t have that insanely sleazy sex scene in that scenario , so maybe they made the right choice afterall .\nnow that i consider it , none of the main characters are fully fleshed out . joe is determined to take down the italian mafia , but any other motivations he may have in his personal or private life are unspoken , if they exist at all . the same can be said of his fellow cops ( and a criminally underutilized angela bassett as the pittsburg da ) or of the mobsters from loggia down . for a prolonged section of the film , the protagonists and antagonists exist in completely different plotlines that only tangentially intersect , and i think that the crime the film is most guilty of is devoting too much focus to marie and joe , especially if none of that attention yields any character insight or development ; there\u2019s both too much and too little of marie to be satisfying . a film that focused instead on luis guzman , for instance , ineptly bumbling his way through an investigation would have more potential entertainment value , all things considered . lapaglia\u2019s not a bad actor , he just seems to be under the impression that the ratio of crime thriller to comedy of the film he\u2019s in skews in the opposite direction it actually does ."]}

health heroes , and even tanky heroes that rely on their regeneration or lifesteal to be effective .\nwhen frightening events start to occur in their home , young couple kelly and ben discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment . the horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run . their last hope is an expert in the supernatural , patrick , but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force .\ndon ' t hope for any help from the pretty young leads , as teen heartthrobs greene and stan have the most awkward and dead screen chemistry i ' ve seen in a while . the first twenty minutes of the apparition are enough to establish that this movie is going to be d . o . a . - and not just because of its ghostly antagonist . kelly and ben are never a convincing couple in the least , meaning that later on , when they ' re so gung - ho about saving one another , it ' s hard for the audience to care whether or not they make it through the night at all ( some people possibly even praying that they don ' t , lest the movie drag on ) .\na chiasmus , explains richard nordquist , is\na verbal pattern ( often a type of antithesis ) in which the second half of an expression is balanced against the first but with the parts reversed . . . from the greek , ' to invert ' or ' to mark with the letter x . '\nan antithesis is\na juxtaposition of opposing ideas in balanced phrases .\nby inverting a phrase , that is , by applying a crisscrossed structure to the phrase in which the first part is reversed in the second , we get a new reading of the same idea . mae west ' s famous line\u2014\nit ' s not about the men in my life , but about the life in my men\n\u2014demonstrates how using the chiastic structure can dramatically alter an interpretation . the first phrase is meant as a judgment of a woman who is accused of having too many men in her life . by inverting the phrase , the speaker turns the judgment on its head ; rather than defend herself against the accusation , the speaker acknowledges the presence of all those men in her life but makes the point be about the quality of those men not the quantity . in the same way , the chapters in this book reverse the readings and interpretations of alma l\u00f3pez ' s our lady that were given by the religious\nright .\nfeeling wronged by the artist , the protestors proceeded to wrong the artist ' s constitutional rights .\nthese deaths are before sending the horrors of moldy buildup in the laundry room and something like a hornet ' s nest with on the kitchen wall .\n\u2018he compares these both to the scriptural accounts of christ ' s post - resurrection appearances and to the history of apparitions in the later church . \u2019\n, and support from the ile - de - france region . the 63 days of filming will take place in paris and in the gap region with\nyou might consider altering the plot of the original story or filling in aspects that the author left vague , ambiguous , unclear , or simply blank .\nit is clear that the way the question of medjugorje has been dealt with , initially by the local bishop , and then by the bishops\u2019 conferences of first ex - yugoslavia , and then bosnia - herzegovina , accords with the above provisions , and that the oft - repeated claim that bishop zanic was relieved of the medjugorje \u201cdossier\u201d is incorrect . it would be more accurate to say that the cdf has been assisting the successive bishops of mostar in trying to find the best way to deal with medjugorje .\nthe attacks first apply their own damage , then chilling touch damage , then apply the slow debuff .\nin the morning after the couple have slept outside , kelly goes to her vw car , which has a front license plate . throughout the rest of the film , it doesn ' t have one .\nindeed , the poet claims that the woman\u2019s current lover is \u201cworse\u201d than himself , and this lover proves it with his refusal to comfort the frightened woman when she will turn to him in bed . the poet describes the current lover as \u201cbeing tired before , \u201d hinting that the two have already made love that night and the man thinks the woman is waking him to engage in sex once more . donne\u2019s conceit is in a little trouble because stereotypically ( and in the context of the poem ) it is usually the reluctant woman who resists the lascivious man , but he has resolved it by suggesting that the man is too tired to keep performing for her ."]}

( spoiler alert ends )\nsakhavu does not have the natural ease of sidhartha siva\u2019s national award - winning ain from 2014 nor is it as thoroughly consistent as his sweet little kochavva paulo ayyappa coelho from last year , but it has its merits . siva seems to have his heart in the right place , and he does , after all , make the point he sets out to make here , aided by one of the most interesting male stars of the present generation .\nthe leading man\u2019s charm dominates the first half of sakhavu , which is devoted to krishna kumar\u2019s shamelessly selfish plans that he has no qualms sharing with his friend and associate mahesh played by althaf . the interactions between these two are a hoot , not the least because there is no exaggeration here : their comedy mocks our bizarre and troubling reality , we have all been stung by hypocrites in politics who pretend to serve the people while serving themselves instead .\nwhile the script gives hardly any redeeming quality to the young krishna kumar\u2019s character , the opposite is the case for the old \u2018sakhavu , \u2019 treated almost like a mythical character who can do no wrong . the younger one gets the light - hearted scenes , while the older one is all intensity . the contrast is just upped so many levels so that no one misses it . this gives nivin a lot of scope to perform , which he uses to the hilt too .\na month after tom emmatty\u2019s oru mexican aparatha saluted communism with a tale of the violent rivalry between student political organisations in kerala , sidhartha siva\u2019s sakhavu ( comrade ) comes to theatres to tell us what makes a true comrade . this one stars nivin pauly in a double role \u2013 as krishna kumar a . k . a . kichchu , whose membership of the student outfit sfk is solely driven by his ambitions for himself ; and as the younger version of a veteran communist leader called krishnan , willing to give up his life for workers\u2019 rights .\nthe film also reveals a prejudice evident in many malayalam films where the outsider , especially the north indian outsider , is viewed through a lens of othering if not outright suspicion . the one significant north indian character in sakhavu , a tea plantation and factory manager played by the attractive tony luke kocherry , is a nasty piece of goods with no redeeming qualities . ( aside : the factory signboard bears the surname \u201cmehta\u201d but the spelling \u201cmehatha\u201d is used on a document the owner is shown signing \u2013 if this was not an instance of casualness and there is a deeper meaning here instead , i confess it was lost on me . )\nat an edited length of almost 2 hours and 45 minutes , sakhavu keeps the viewers glued to their seats in the first half with the well - handled comic numbers by nivin pauly and althaf . even though the theme has nothing new to offer , the movie like its predecessors , uphold the merits of communism . the screenplay succeeds in inducing the comic effect involving the main characters to create ludicrous circumstances but falls short when it comes to instilling the fire of revolution and revolutionary ideas . if the screenplay had taken a road less traveled and had more remarkable circumstances and dialogues soaked in the fire of communism , it would ' ve have had an enhanced impact on the viewer . but still , it provides a good experience and sheds light on the changing attitude in politics of the new era .\nenter missing singer names as comma separated value . you can add as many number of singer name in the given field\nto access special sections for urltoken user , request you to signin / signup using this form . if you are an existing user , pls . login with your credentials or if you a new user , pls . register .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na student political leader who fights for his left -

screen chemistry and comic timing . althaf in particular is roflmao - worthy ( yes , that is a word ) each time he opens his mouth to speak .\nsadly though , he virtually disappears in the second half , which goes back in time to the younger krishnan\u2019s battles on behalf of workers . this part is often thoughtful and thought - provoking , yet loses its way for various reasons . first , it stretches itself especially with the needless insertion of full - length songs in a narrative that could have done without them ( the problem is not with prashant pillai\u2019s numbers but that they have been used in their entirety ) .\nbesides , the tone and politics of the second half contrast too sharply with the preceding portion .\nkrishna kumar\u2019s story works because it takes a critical view of politics per se and communist politicians in particular . krishnan\u2019s saga , however , is uncritical and one - dimensional , inhabiting a world divided simplistically between good workers and horrible bosses . the former are all unequivocally saintly folk whose actions must never be questioned , the latter are tarred with one stroke of the writers\u2019 brush as exploitative , evil and cruel .\nthese are issues particularly worth raising in a film that wears its conscience on its sleeve .\nit\u2019s the summer of red in malayalam cinema . young stars , quite often blamed for being part of \u2018apolitical new -

hatred , a whisper of the nightmare worlds of belsen and treblinka . ruth amarante , the victim , almost seems to dissolve with terror .\none of stravinsky ' s most significant collaborators was serge diaghilev , director of the ballets russes . the two were close working partners for some twenty years , until diaghilev ' s death in 1929 . much of stravinsky ' s most exceptional music , including the score for \u0093the rite of spring , \u0094 was composed for the productions of diaghilev . the first collaboration between the two russians involved the ballet \u0093les sylphides , \u0094 in which diaghilev called upon various russian composers to orchestrate several of fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric chopin ' s compositions for piano . \u0093les sylphides\u0094 is musically innocuous and foretells but little of the coming storm .\nharvard university professor thomas kelly suggests that one of the reasons that the paris premiere of\nthe rite of spring\ncreated such a furor was that it shattered everyone ' s expectations . the evening ' s program began innocently with a performance of \u0093les sylphides . \u0094 however , as the follow - up piece , \u0093the rite of spring\u0094 turned out to be anything but spring - like . one of the dancers recalled that vaslav nijinsky ' s shocking choreography was physically unnatural to perform .\nwith every leap we landed heavily enough to jar every organ in us .\nthe music itself was angular , dissonant and totally unpredictable . in the introduction , stravinksy called for a bassoon to play higher in its range than anyone else had ever done . in fact , the instrument was virtually unrecognizable as a bassoon . when the curtain rose and the dancing began , there appeared a musical theme without a melody , only a loud , pulsating , dissonant chord with jarring , irregular accents . the audience responded to the ballet with such a din of hisses and catcalls that the performers could barely hear each other .\nwhen the young and eccentric benilde becomes unexpectedly pregnant , her deeply religious family and inquisitive townsfolk fixate upon immaculate conception . a new formal complexity entered into oliveira ' s cinema in this second part of his celebrated tetralogy , which focuses an unflattering spotlight on the absurd hypocrisies of religion and public displays of piety . one of oliveira ' s breakthrough films , benilde was his first to interweave theatrical and cinematic language into an overt questioning of the limits of the art film .\nthe paradox of the primitivism in the rite is that it can be heard as both a horrifying vision of the pitilessness of nature \u2013 and as an expression of the inhumanity of the machine age . the fate of the\nchosen one\nin the sacrificial dance is particularly chilling . she is caught in an unstoppable rhythmic vortex from which there is only one way out : through the terrible dissonance that ends the piece , and the single chord that kills her . this is music that manages to sound both mechanistic and elemental , making the rite as radical in 2013 as it was 100 years ago .\nand what about the revolutionary irregular metres of the ballet ? richard taruskin , in an astonishing and enormous study of stravinsky ' s debt to the russian traditions , points out that the irregular 7 / 4 metre of the end of the firebird , stravinsky ' s first major piece for diaghilev in 1910 , is foreshadowed by any number of finales in rimsky - korsakov , such as the 11 / 4 finale of his 1880 opera snegurochka . russian music had long enjoyed eccentric metres , such as the 5 / 4 waltz movement in tchaikovsky ' s path\u00e9tique , and shifting metres , as in the alternation of fives and sixes in the first movement of moussorgsky ' s pictures from an exhibition . the terrifying speed of metre change in the rite of spring is extreme , but has small precedents .\nstill , for all its modernity , for all stravinsky ' s insistence that the whole thing came from\nwhat i heard\n( and for all that puccini would later call it\nthe work of a madman\n) , the rite is rooted in musical traditions . as bela bart\u00f3k intuited , and as musicologist richard taruskin has shown , many of the rite ' s melodies come from folk tunes \u2013 including that opening bassoon solo , which is actually a lithuanian wedding song . scholars have identified more than a dozen folk references so far , but there ' s an even more significant tradition behind the rite .\nbackstage at the premiere , nijinsky shouted at the dancers while diaghilev tried to suppress a possible riot by flashing the house lights . stravinsky himself fumed at the audience ' s response to his music . if nothing else , the ballet ' s premiere managed to instill in the audience the true spirit of the music . as thomas kelly states ,\nthe pagans on - stage made pagans of the audience .\ndespite its inauspicious debut , stravinsky ' s score for \u0093the rite of spring\u0094 today stands as a magnificent musical masterpiece of the twentieth century .\nduring the dog days of summer , a group of teenage boys inhabits a makeshift bike park in a secluded wooded area of toronto .\na meditative study of loneliness and longing , the latest film by joaquim sapinho ( b . 1964 ) tells the story of a brother and sister coming to terms with the dissolution of their family . a former champion surfer who spends his days in pursuit of the most dangerous waves , the young man is torn between the estoril beaches and the nearby monastery where he has recently taken his first vows . with\nthe first in oliveira ' s celebrated\ntetrology of thwarted love ,\nthe past and the present offers both a dark vision of amour fou and an excoriating satire of the idle rich . driven by a necrophilic passion for her dead husband , vanda performs strange rituals of devotion and tortures her second husband for his inadequacies . the revelation of strange secrets about her first husband unfolds a dizzying game of shifting identities and loyalties . oliveira ' s wickedly funny and disturbing satire of portuguese class structure and the corruption of public mores was , ironically , his first film to receive state funding .\nmarking a stylistically and philosophically turn away from the earlier features , the sand rose is reis and cordeiro\u2019s most abstract , conceptual and literary work . the film\u2019s collage structure gathers texts from multiple sources \u2013 including kafka and montaigne \u2013 and crafts a world of theatrical artifice far from the documentary inspired naturalism of ana and tr\u00e1s - os - montes . reis and cordeiro\u2019s least known film has lingered in obscurity and never recovered from the unfairly negative reviews that resulted in its severely limited release . reis died less than two years later , just as he and cordeiro were about to begin an ambitious adaptation of juan rulfo\u2019s pedro par\u00e1mo .\nthe rite of spring ' s violations were more fundamental than that . some of them were merely apparent , rooted in traditions that were relatively unfamiliar to a 1913 paris audience . the designer and co - author , with stravinsky , of the scenario , nikolai roerich , was a faithful student of archaeology . his long journey , from diaghilev ' s sumptuous , nationalist magazine of art , mir iskusstva , to a deracinated mysticism can be traced in the beautiful museum devoted to his life on west 107th street in new york . some aspects of the score , even , can be traced back to established russian traditions . it has long been known that many of its themes , including the famous bassoon opening , are versions of lithuanian folk tunes taken from a krakow anthology published in 1900 .\noliveira ' s first feature is a remarkable proto - neorealist film , notable for its use of child non - actors and actual locations in oliveira ' s native porto . aniki - b\u00f3b\u00f3 , whose title derives from a child ' s game , fully adopts the children ' s perspective to tell a surprisingly adult story of friendship and betrayal between two boys and the girl who is the object of their rival affection . the perceived radicalism of aniki - b\u00f3b\u00f3 , with its barely restrained critique of institutional authority , was responsible for oliveira ' s persecution and brief imprisonment by the conservative salazar dictatorship and , even worse , resulted in a devastating twenty year hiatus during which he was effectively blacklisted and had almost every film project thwarted .\nthis is a beautiful , intelligent , shallow film , like a pane of plate glass that at first glance looks like a deep lake . the picture jumps forward from the early 20s to a coda some 50 years later when the elderly igor and coco , who died within weeks of each other in 1971 , are seen contemplating the past on either side of the atlantic . it is oddly unmoving and not only because of the makeup .\n, the annual passion play enacted in a village in the same remote northern region of portugal that would inspire reis\u2019 most important work . intrigued by the ritualistic and incantatory qualities of the vernacular production , oliveira returned with reis and set about directing the villagers in a re - enactment of the passion play , adding a rich performative layer to the film . a fascinating meta - ethnographic study of local tradition and history that folds in on itself ,\nin his final role , marcello mastrioanni is wonderfully cast as an aging film director , modeled on oliveira himself , traveling with three young actors through northern portugal and past places he had known in his youth . the leisurely pace , sensuous beauty of the passing landscapes , and mastrioanni ' s touching performance all contribute to the film ' s rich evocation of place and time . a brilliant and emotionally rich road movie that deserves comparison to bergman ' s wild strawberries , voyage marks a high point in oliveira ' s late career and remains deservedly among his best - known and most beloved works .\n' mild protests against the music ,\nwrote stravinsky ,\ncould be heard from the beginning .\nthe composer was remembering the night of 29 may 1913 at the th\u00e9\u00e2tre des champs - elys\u00e9es in paris . the event was the premiere of a new ballet called the rite of spring \u2013 and , if you believe all the stories about what happened that celebrated evening , not least the one about the riot that ensued , it ' s as if the 20th century only really got going when the audience in that gilded art - nouveau auditorium started kicking off .\nwhile working at lisbon\u2019s famed miguel bombarda sanatorium , psychologist margarida cordeiro discovered a series of arresting drawings by the subject of her first film with reis , a recently deceased former patient and paranoid schizophrenic named jaime fernandes . keeping a deeply respectful yet never tentative distance from the asylum world as a realm of unfathomable mystery , reis and cordeiro linger over fernandes\u2019 remarkably expressive drawings , assembling a profoundly moving and hypnotic portrait of a gifted artist and powerful emblem of portugal\u2019s virtual imprisonment during the repressive salazar regime .\nthe third installment of the tetralogy is a brilliant and devastating portrait of young lovers tragically separated by a bitter feud between their aristocratic families . in doomed love oliveira tested his belief in a creative merging of theatrical , literary and cinematic narrative traditions . his radical approach to adaptation captures the multilayered language of camilo castelo branco ' s eponymous epic novel to offer a virtual phenomenology of life and love in 18th century portugal . after a disastrous premiere on portuguese television , the theatrical release of oliveira ' s re - edited version was quickly hailed as a landmark in the history of the european art film .\nmin tanaka with his group maj - juku is a distinctive personality of japanese theatre . theatre in which the mind requestens the tongue and so the body becomes the tongue . the rite of spring was born on a farm in the village of hoku\u0161u , the home of min tanaka . every year n - people from all over the world travel here to participate with min tanaka\u2019s summer workshops . he says : \u201c people from all over the world dance with me and they are entirely different from one another . not only physically but also in their unique stories . they are a sort of history of the body . i expect each dancer to draw the theme from his own personal experience . each one of us is standing at the end of the very long line of development , that leads us back to our childhood , to our parents , right back to our animal essence\u201d .\nadapted by the british writer chris greenhalgh from his speculative novel , coco chanel & igor stravinsky takes us back to the second decade of the 20th century , when the basis of the stravinsky legend was being laid and more or less to the point where last year ' s coco before chanel ends . the movie begins with one of the epic moments of cultural modernism , the notorious first night of the ballet russe production of stravinsky ' s the rite of spring on 29 may 1913 in paris . stravinsky was 31 , the son of a well - off , middle - class , russian family , firmly established as a composer with the firebird and petrushka behind him . coco chanel , a year his junior , was the product of a provincial french orphanage and had worked as a dressmaker and singer before creating her own innovative fashion house in paris under the patronage of a rich french playboy and the british industrialist arthur\nboy\ncapel .\na grindhouse slasher pic that swings from dull to ridiculous without finding any pulpy pleasure in between , padraig reynolds ' rites of spring is as anonymous as its burlap - wrapped boogeyman . themes of pagan sacrifice and double - cross kidnapping combined don ' t generate enough exploitable novelty to make it a promising gamble , even on vod .\noliveira ' s brilliant meditation on war , history and empire takes as its background and point of departure colonial war in western africa in the 1970s , in which guerrilla fighters ultimately defeated portugal ' s superior military forces . mired in the angolan jungle , a group of portuguese soldiers begin to openly question the meaning of the war and , in turn , speculate about their country ' s imperial history . lu\u00eds miguel cintra returns as the wise commander who narrates the film ' s brilliant flashbacks to portugal ' s most spectacular military follies and defeats . from the film ' s mysterious opening \u2013 a rapturous tracking shot that glides around an ancient african tree \u2013 to the stunning battle sequences , non is one of oliveira ' s great late films and one of his most politically charged and outspoken works .\nthe riot that followed is amusing , including the man who was so seized with excitement that he started to\nbeat rhythmically on the top of [ carl van vechten ' s ] head with his fists\n, and the argument between inhabitants of two adjacent boxes which turned , the next morning , into a duel . there had been other riots in parisian theatres over the years , such as at the premiere of victor hugo ' s hernani in 1830 and at the paris premiere of wagner ' s tannh\u00e4user in 1861 . as with the rite of spring debacle , what interests us in these ancient battles are the limitations that gave birth to the outrage ; in the case of hugo , the violation of classical rules of unity of time and place , in wagner ' s , the outrageous suggestion that the ballet which must take place in every opera might , on this occasion , be placed in the first act rather than the second .\n) is a stylish coming of age tale and a moving portrait of the slow death of a rural portuguese town . co - written by viegas and joaquim sapinho ,\nlike many of diaghilev ' s commissions , the rite of spring made its way easily in the concert hall \u2013 it is a technical challenge that few professionally virtuoso orchestras could ever resist . the ballets russes themselves were never the same after the extreme experience of 29 may 1913 . the rite was performed only six more times , in paris and london . nijinsky , and the rest of the company , minus diaghilev , left in august for a tour of south america . on the boat was also an aspiring dancer only loosely attached to the troupe , romola de pulszky . the boat departed on 15 august . on 25 august , nijinsky and de pulszky first spoke to each other , inadequately \u2013 they hardly had a language in common . on 30 august , nijinsky sent an emissary who actually spoke french to ask de pulszky to marry him . once she established that it was a genuine offer , she accepted , and they married on 10 september in buenos aires .\nrobin o ' neill , principal bassoon of the philharmonia orchestra , knows the famous opening notes of the . . .\nafter an uncertain start \u2013 in her first wuppertal production , the audience threw fruit at the stage and banged the doors \u2013 europeans came to regard her work with awe and respect . with their more dark - accustomed eyes , they were sympathetic to her baroque theatricality and to the brooding sense of the past with which her productions were infused . bausch ' s 1975 rite of spring , which saw a terrified female victim sacrificed by her tribe on a stage spread with black soil , made a particularly forceful impression . by the end of the piece , the dancers are streaked with sweat and dirt and audibly panting . never had the war of the sexes been so graphically depicted .\ni am terrified of violence , but i wanted to understand the person doing violence ,\nbausch explained .\nthere were other innovations in the rite of spring to startle the audience \u2013 nijinsky ' s choreography offended even the dancers , with its insistence on turning the toes in , and landing flatly ( and painfully ) after leaps . but the core of the piece is , and has remained , stravinsky ' s great score . at the ballets russes ' s first 1909 season , french critics had issued a warning ; the first offerings had been visually and theatrically spectacular , but the music had been\ninsignificant\n,\nwoven out of any old remnants\n,\nunspeakably vile\n.\nthe young russian composers had better get to work seriously ,\nthe mercure de france had said .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\njourney with us from the glamour of paris to the sun - kissed hills of hollywood and discover how igor . . .\noliveira ' s delightful new film proposes and attempts to solve a historical mystery \u2013 was christopher columbus actually portuguese ? oliveira offers a typically multifaceted approach to this puzzle , interweaving the story of manuel luciano da silva , a medical doctor and autodidact historian obsessed with columbus , with visits to historical sites by oliveira himself and his wife . christopher columbus offers a playful return to the subjects of empire , myth and history so dear to oliveira .\nin the decades that followed , many choreographers created their own versions , including pina bausch , kenneth macmillan , maurice b\u00e9jart and michael clark . this year , for the centenary , sadler ' s wells is hosting a two - month season of rite - inspired works , including contributions by akram khan , michael keegan - dolan and mafalda deville . the original choreography is no longer , as buckle thought , lost . the scholar millicent hodson pieced it together over years of analysis of prompt books , sketches and photographs and detailed recollection , and in 1987 , the los angeles joffrey ballet gave a performance of the reconstruction \u2013 it has since been taken up by the kirov . speaking in the 1950s , stravinsky said he would not conduct the rite in the soviet union , since years of cultural restriction had left orchestras technically incapable of mastering its demands . in recent decades , the score and the ballet has returned in grand style to the place of origin .\nreis and cordeiro\u2019s undisputable masterpiece exploded the meaning and possibilities of ethnographic cinema with its lyrical exploration of the still resonant myths and legends embodied in the people and landscapes of portugal\u2019s remote tr\u00e1s - os - montes region . evoking a kind of geologically bergsonian time , with past and present layered upon one another , tr\u00e1s - os - montes interweaves evocative recreations of the ancient worlds and encounters with atavistic peasantry , following the pilgrim\u2019s path traced by reis and cordeiro as they led their skeletal crew from village to village in search of the poetic essence of the portuguese language and imagination . painstakingly researched and shot over the course of one year , reis and cordeiro became intimate with every person included in their ambitious film , carefully selecting the different voices , faces and gestures that would together provide an extraordinary composite , associative and mythological response to the question of how to define a \u201cnational cinema . \u201d\nthe final film in oliveira ' s tetralogy is its darkest , a fascinating journey to the dangerous extremes of obsessive love . a simultaneous homage to the silent cinema and the original novel by bessa - lu\u00eds , francisca ' s evocative literary intertitles add a further layer of commentary and complexity to the tragic love affair that slowly destroys the bewitching fanny owens and her ne ' er - do - well lover . diffused with an aura of death and the supernatural , francisca makes striking use of masks and shadows . francisca marked the start of the remarkable collaboration between oliveira and maverick producer paolo branco who would produce oliveira ' s next twenty films .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nset during the dog days of summer , a group of teenage boys inhabit a makeshift bike part in a secluded wooded area of toronto . david ( 14 ) craves the attention of peter ( 17 ) , an older boy . . . see full summary \u00bb\na ransom scheme turns into a nightmare for a group of kidnappers who become victims of a horrifying secret that must be paid every spring . horror fans will instantly recognize aj bowen , the current independent horror go -

informed members of the audience had no idea what they were experiencing . afterwards , the critic of the french periodical gil blas recorded a conversation about the beginning of\namong oliveira\u2019s most radical films , mon cas is based upon a well known play by the renown portuguese playwright jose regio in which actors subvert a play by abandoning their rehearsed dialogue to speak directly to the audience , and the camera , about themselves . a dazzling evocation of the transformative power of spectacle and performance , oliveira returns three times to this disruptive scene , each time offering a totally different film . bulle ogier and lu\u00eds miguel cintra lead the outstanding cast .\nwhen diaghilev heard of the marriage , in remote venice , he took the first opportunity to sack nijinsky . nijinsky ' s career was more or less over : his biographer richard buckle points out that\nby the time of his marriage nijinsky had created all his famous roles , bar one\n. diaghilev tried to replace him in the ballets russes with a new star / lover , l\u00e9onide massine , and to lure back the creator of the spectre de la rose and the\npolovtsian dances\n, michel fokine . fokine ' s condition , after a four - hour telephone call , was that none of nijinsky ' s ballets should be staged under him .\nwhen diaghilev wanted to revive [ the rite of spring ] seven years later ,\nrichard buckle , writing in 1971 , said ,\nno one could remember the choreography and massine had to start again from scratch .\nwithin the splendor of her country estate , alfreda attempts to decipher the source of the virgin mary ' s reported wealth , debating with a bible scholar about the limits of sainthood and the material world . meanwhile , a team of crooks plans to fleece alfreda through an elaborate fabricated miracle that goes strangely awry . the magic mirror is one of oliveira ' s several adaptations of the work of his close friend agustina bessa - luis , one of portugal ' s foremost modernist novelists . here he turns her eponymous novel into a mysterious satire of religion and the idle rich in the tradition of bu\u00f1uel ' s late films . a sophisticated comedy and a deeply philosophical work , the magic mirror boasts a cast of oliveira regulars as well as the great marisa paredes .\nthat ' s not the least plausible coincidence rites of spring has in store , but even at its dopiest the movie fails to generate chuckles . more damningly , reynolds can ' t imagine interesting ways for his monster to kill people : he picks the kidnappers off routinely , sans suspenseful foreplay ; reynolds ' s gore is half - hearted , too , though the pic ' s lack of mpaa rating might attract sadists hoping for something depraved .\nso there ' s nothing so old as a musical revolution . but even if it ' s true that stravinsky plundered traditions both ancient and modern to create the rite , there ' s something that , finally , can ' t be explained away , something you should feel in your gut when you experience the piece . a century on , the truly shocking thing about the rite is still with us , right there at its climax . a good performance will merely pulverise you . but a great one will make you feel that it ' s you \u2013 that it ' s all of us \u2013 being sacrificed by stravinsky ' s spellbinding and savagely cruel music .\nthe film brings back vividly the initial response : an audience divided between the affronted and the partisan ; nijinsky shouting instructions to the dancers ; diaghilev switching the house lights on and off ( supposedly to calm spectators though the effect was to heighten the tension ) ; stravinsky denouncing everyone ; the police called in to restore order . the rest is history , or legend .\n, who died of cancer last june . since 1973 , she had been based in the westphalian city of wuppertal , surrounded by a tight -

that he talked openly , after napoleon\u2019s death , about his plan to use it . the most complete version of events , in what purport to be the smuggler\u2019s own words , can be found in an obscure memoir entitled scenes and stories of a clergyman in debt , which was published in 1835 , during johnson\u2019s lifetime . the author claimed to have met the smuggler in debtor\u2019s prison , where ( irritated by scott\u2019s misstatements , he suggests ) johnson agreed to put his tale in his own words . the book contains memoirs of several dramatic episodes that chime well with contemporary accounts\u2013a remarkable escape from fleet prison , for example . at the very least , the correspondences lend weight to the idea that the material in scenes and stories really was written by johnson\u2013though of course it does not prove that the plot was anything but a flight of fancy .\nthe smuggler told the authorities that he intended to sell the material to a turkish middleman named

the most important of these scraps remain unpublished and molder in an obscure corner of britain\u2019s national archives\u2013where i unearthed them after a dusty search some years ago . together , they give credence to an odd statement that first appeared in the historical gallery \u2013one that dates the construction of johnson\u2019s submarine not to an 1820 approach by wealthy bonapartists , but to as early as 1812 , three years before napoleon\u2019s imprisonment .\njuly 29 : it ' s amazin ' to think what i ' ve accomplished in such a short time . why , mere days ago , in the wake of

granted , i came across a few . . . * ahem * technical obstacles while tryin ' to realise me vision for the new krawk island , but it ' s these sort of challenges that truly bring out the best in a talented artist such as meself . now get goin ' ! after all , ' twould be a shame if inspiration struck and there were nothin ' for me to work with . . .\nthis was a puzzle plot , with users scouring the site for clues to help them save the island . certain elements of the plot were time sensitive , for example jhuidah freed herself from the rock pool if users did not provide a tagobo potion quickly enough - however this didn ' t affect overall plot performance .\ngeorgia\u2019s chief nuclear investigator , archil pavlenishvili , said that while russia cooperated in the early stages of the 2003 investigation , in 2006 it had hardly helped at all , beyond taking a sample of the seized material for analysis . he said the georgians had informed the russian embassy here in tbilisi of mr . khinsagov\u2019s detention , and had offered to let diplomats speak to him . but the russians , he said , never responded .\nthe narrative passes silently over the not inconsiderable difficulty of how such small vessels were to make the voyage south to st . helena , and moves on to their appearance off the island\u2013the etna so close to the shore that it would need to be \u201cwell fortified with cork fenders\u201d to prevent being dashed to pieces on the rocks . the plan then called for johnson to land , carrying \u201ca mechanical chair , capable of containing one person on the seat , and a standing foot - board at the back , \u201d and equipped with the enormous quantity of 2 , 500 feet of \u201cpatent whale line . \u201d leaving this equipment on the rocks , the smuggler would scale the cliffs , sink an iron bolt and a block at the summit , and make his way inland to longwood .\ni mistook a name , so this was not the title i wanted . still , the headline is true . i ' ll be more careful , from now on . it ' s also not a bad movie .\nmight johnson have been no more than a fantasist , then\u2013or at best a man who touted extravagant claims in the hope of making money from them ? the old smuggler spent the 1820s talking up a whole succession of projects involving submarines . at one point he was reported to be working for the king of denmark ; at another for the pasha of egypt ; at yet another to be building a submarine to salvage a ship off the dutch island of texel , or to retrieve valuables from wrecks in the caribbean . perhaps this is not surprising . we know that , after emerging from debtors\u2019 prison , johnson lived for years south of the thames on a pension of \u00a3140 a year\u2013a little less than $ 20 , 000 today . that was scarcely enough to allow life to be lived to its fullest .\nnews items include su tung foo and stapleton kent in the cast and report that actress carol varga was\ndiscovered\nin honolulu and cast without a screen test . varga made her actual feature film debut in universal ' s\nbut johnson also has a stranger claim to fame , one that has gone unmentioned in all but the most obscure of histories . in 1820\u2013or so he claimed\u2013he was offered the sum of \u00a340 , 000 to rescue the emperor napoleon from bleak exile on the island of st . helena . this escape was to be effected in an incredible way\u2013down a sheer cliff , using a bosun\u2019s chair , to a pair of primitive submarines waiting off shore . johnson had to design the submarines himself , since his plot was hatched decades before the invention of the first practical underwater craft .\nunfortunately , this only served to completely unlock the seal , and free the beast known as moltenus . he promptly ate eithne , seemingly killing the faerie . controlled by the evil shaman , moltenus tried to attack anyone entering the volcano . taking some last minute clues from the island mystic , a magic chant was devised to weaken the shaman :\nby visiting the parrot on mystery island ( who provided clues during the hunt for the crown plot ) , further clues as to the contents of the note were revealed . jhuidah was soon found in the rock pool , trapped in one of the bowls . mixing the ingredients from the note to form a tagobo potion allowed jhuidah to be freed .\ntom johnson was one of those extraordinary characters that history throws up in times of crisis . born in 1772 to irish parents , he made the most of the opportunities that presented themselves and was earning his own living as a smuggler by the age of 12 . at least twice , he made remarkable escapes from prison . when the napoleonic wars broke out , his well - deserved reputation for extreme daring saw him hired\u2013despite his by then extensive criminal record\u2013to pilot a pair of covert british naval expeditions .\nthe \u2018baddies\u2019 : mr curton , who introduces himself as martin\u2019s father , is not very nice to martin and prevents him from doing what he loves \u2013 painting . mr curton also has a few men who help him with his scheme .\naugust 5 : as one can see , i ' ve made some overdue renovations to cap ' n threelegs ' swashbuckling academy , which the cap ' n will find most beneficial . i like that cap ' n - - seems like a real obedient sort of fellow , the kind i don ' t anticipate givin ' me any problems . . . so , the island - - she ' s really startin ' to come in nicely , eh ?

the one biography of him is a farrago . the greatest literary figure of the day , the novelist sir walter scott , was misled about johnson\u2019s career\u2013writing , wrongly , that he had piloted admiral nelson \u2019s flagship at the battle of copenhagen .\nex - navy man steve kent , struggling to make a living in macao , is approached by beautiful vivian craig . she wants to hire him and his boat to retrieve some medicine from a plane which crashed into the ocean on a flight from manila . kent dives at the crash - site but discovers he ' s been tricked into retrieving a cache of gold bars . he intends to report this cache to authorities but his growing attraction to vivian soon causes him to change his mind . vivian ' s husband , allan , now appears on the scene . kent reluctantly agrees to sail the gold to hong kong where it will be sold and the proceeds divided equally between himself , vivian , and allan . on the voyage to hong kong , however , kent ' s boat is pursued both by the police and by a pirate named bok - ying .\nuntil now , all but the vague outlines of the case have remained secret . but an examination of the episode , and a similar one in 2003 , suggests that the region\u2019s political instability and culture of rampant corruption continue to provide a fertile breeding ground for illicit commerce in atomic materials .\ni started out by looking at the column with the skeith and lupe . the only two missing in that column are the bruce and mynci , but the mynci cannot appear in the second row , because there ' s already one there . so , a bruce must go above the skeith , and a mynci must appear above the bruce . then i looked at the fourth column - - it ' s missing a lupe and a skeith but the skeith cannot go in the third row , so it must go in the top right corner . keep using this logic to complete the whole thing .\nwhen it was analyzed at the energy department\u2019s laboratory in the pacific northwest , it was found to have a u - 235 purity of 89 . 451 percent , \u201csuitable for certain types of research reactors , as a source material for medical isotope production , and for military purposes including nuclear weapons . \u201d\ntwo years later , georgian authorities learned that highly enriched uranium was again being offered for sale , this time in south ossetia , a rugged and beautiful land no bigger than long island , with few border controls on either the russian or georgian side . people and contraband move freely through its fields and along its mountain roads . the united states says it has discovered counterfeit $ 100 bills traceable to south ossetia circulating in at least four american cities .\nthe plot : the five are at julian , dick and anne\u2019s home trying to decide what to do for the hols when they see a circus go by . nobby , a circus boy tells them where they are headed and the five decide to rent caravans and have a holiday near the circus camp .\n\u201cpeople said , \u2018hey , the situation\u2019s improved , \u2019 \u201d said william c . potter , a leading authority on nuclear smuggling at the monterey institute of international studies in california . the seizures in georgia , he said , suggest something else : that the trade may simply \u201chave gone under the radar . \u201d\nyet , while napoleon lived ( and he endured six increasingly morose years on st . helena before finally succumbing to cancer\u2013 or , some say , to arsenic poisoning ) , there were always schemes to rescue him . emilio ocampo , who gives the best account of this collection of half - baked plots , writes that \u201cnapoleon\u2019s political ambition was not subdued by his captivity . and his determined followers never abandoned hopes of setting him free . \u201d nor did the bonapartists lack money ; napoleon\u2019s brother , joseph , who was at one time the king of spain , had escaped to the united states with a fortune estimated at 20 million francs . and the emperor\u2019s popularity in the united states was such that\u2013ocampo says\u2013the british squadron taking him into exile headed several hundred miles in the wrong direction to evade an american privateer , the true blooded yankee , which sailed under the flag of the revolutionary government of buenos aires and was determined to effect his rescue .\nwhat makes this detail especially interesting is the context . in 1812 , britain was at war with the united states \u2013and the u . s . was known to have employed robert fulton to work on a new generation of super - weapons . that probably explains how johnson was able to arm himself with a whole series of passes from different government departments confirming that he was formally employed \u201con his majesty\u2019s secret service on submarine , and other useful experiments , by order . \u201d how these trials were funded is a different matter . in the confusion of wartime , the papers show , britain\u2019s army and navy each assumed that the other would be picking up the bill . it was a situation johnson was quick to exploit , retaining the services of a london engineer who sketched a submarine that was 27 feet long and \u201cin shape much like a porpoise . \u201d an inner chamber , six feet square and lined with cork , protected the two - man crew .\nmy 11 - year - old son told me he loved this book because it was nonstop action . i think the story is interesting , and i understand the appeal for kids . i would recommend it for reluctant male readers especially . maybe 10 - 12 ish age ? it ' s a little scary in a few places , but easy reading .\nso concerned were the british to scotch even the faintest possibility of escape that small garrisons were even established on ascension island and at tristan da cunha , 1 , 200 miles further out in the atlantic , to forestall the unlikely possibility that these uninhabited volcanic pinpricks might be used as staging posts for a rescue . no single prisoner , probably , has ever been so closely guarded . \u201cat such a distance and in such a place , \u201d the prime minister , lord liverpool , reported with satisfaction to his cabinet , \u201call intrigue would be impossible . \u201d\nsafely landed on st . helena , though , the emperor found himself in what was probably the most secure prison that could have been devised for him in 1815 . the island is extremely isolated , almost entirely ringed with cliffs and devoid of secure anchorages ; it has only a handful of possible landing places . these were guarded by a large garrison , totaling 2 , 800 men , armed with 500 cannon . napoleon himself , meanwhile , was held at longwood , a refurbished mansion with extensive grounds in the most remote and dismal portion of the interior .\nan american government laboratory\u2019s analysis of the 2006 material \u2014 which , among other things , disclosed traces of two rare forms of uranium , u - 234 and u - 236 \u2014 provides \u201ca strong case\u201d that it indeed came from russia , said thomas b . cochran , director of the nuclear program at the natural resources defense council , a private group that monitors atomic arsenals .\nwe know it did , because the archives contain correspondence from johnson confirming that the boat was ready and demanding payment of \u00a3100 , 000 for it . they also show that , early in 1820 , a commission of senior officers , led by sir george cockburn , was sent to report on the submarine\u2013not , apparently , to assess its new technology , but to estimate how much it cost . cockburn was a serious player in the naval hierarchy of the day , and remains notorious as the man who burned the white house to the ground when washington fell to british troops in 1814 . his original report has vanished , but its contents can be guessed from the royal navy\u2019s decision to shave johnson\u2019s six - figure demand down to \u00a34 , 735 and a few pennies .\nwhat this means is that , early in 1820 , johnson possessed a very real submarine at precisely the time that , french sources suggest , bonapartist officers were offering thousands of pounds for just such a vessel . and this discovery can be tied , in turn , to two other remarkable reports . the first , which appeared in the naval chronicle , describes a trial of johnson\u2019s boat on the river thames :\nasking sarah the zafara for help finding the tiki tack man ' s old mask resulted in her entering a strange trance , and directing neopians to the haunted woods . in the depths of the fetch ! maze , the tiki mask was recovered . the tiki tack man was restored , and provided his secret word . jhuidah meanwhile couldn ' t remember hers , suggesting that the word itself may have been removed from neopia .\nit is fulton\u2019s appearance in the tale that gives this account a semblance of verisimilitude . a competent inventor , best remembered for developing the first practical steamboat , fulton had spent years in france peddling designs for a submarine . he had persuaded napoleon to let him build one small experimental craft , the nautilus , in 1800 , and it was tested with apparent success on the seine . a few years later , fulton designed a second , more advanced , vessel which\u2013as his illustration shows\u2013superficially resembled johnson\u2019s submarines . it is also a matter of record that , when the french failed to show any interest in this second boat , fulton defected to britain with the plans . in july 1804 , he signed a contract with the prime minister , william pitt , to develop his \u201csystem\u201d of submarine warfare under terms and conditions that would have yielded him \u00a3100 , 000 in the event of success .\nthere is no doubt that johnson\u2019s design was primitive\u2013the submarine was driven by sails on the surface , and relied on oars for motive power when submerged . nor is there anything to suggest that tom and his engineer solved the vast technical problems that prevented the development of effective subs before the 1890s\u2013most obviously the difficulty of preventing a boat submerging in neutral buoyancy from simply plunging to the bottom and staying there . it was enough that the weapon actually existed .\nmy favourite parts : the caravans are pretty cool , i like all the little features like the running water and little cupboards . i also enjoy the bit of circus life we see , and nobby\u2019s admiration for the five is touching . pongo is very funny , with his pick - pocketing and faux shame at being caught . his interactions with timmy are amusing too , particularly when shaking paws and he goes round the back to shake his tail too .\nyou were correct : with the four of them gone , the power of the ancients was weak enough to open the first seal : jhuidah can do nothing now , she is harmless : my minions are working on reaching the second as we speak : when all three are down , the secret of the volcano shall be yours , my lord : when going on safari , safety is of the utmost importance : make sure you pack at least three large pian leaves , nine pinannas and seven kraku berries in case of poisons . at 8 o ' clock every day you must prepare the camp . . it is only two hours till nightfall and the island can get very dangerous ."]}

wolf engaging in a killing spree , including a threatening showdown with her sister , who up until this point had attempted to rescue ginger from her animalistic urges . brigitte felt she no longer had a bond with her sister - she had a choice to either cure her sister with a syringe of\nwerewolf antidote\nor to kill her with a knife , and chose the latter (\ni ' m not dying in this room with you\n) . she was intimately close to ginger - wolf , hugging her when she exhaled her last breath .\ninstead , todd haynes , the writer and director , has something more insidious up his sleeve . the movie starts out dealing with one problem ( environmental poisoning ) and ends up attacking another ( a blissed -

from a man named\nj\n( identified from his signet ring near the trigger , in close - up ) .\nfine attention to detail and constant feedback from the oceanic trust helped shape the film on every level . notes from the trust on the kind of curtains in moana\u2019s home , the pits used to cook food , and inaccurate lyrics about coconut husks all resulted in minuscule tweaks that would mean nothing to audiences unfamiliar with the culture , but made all the difference to the trust . a scene in which moana throws a temper tantrum and hurls coconuts down on the sand in anger was cut because , as fonoti puts it , she \u201craised a flag , \u201d calling the waste of the sacred coconut \u201cabsolutely offensive . \u201d\ninstead of using duct tape , the two superglued her mouth shut to keep her quiet . to feed her , elias used manicure scissors to split open her glue -

set ( american - owned ) comic hellblazer to los angeles . since the release of the movie , the comic book character of constantine has stated that there ' s another guy with his name and a similar job in the us .\nthe biggest holdout among the cast was jason segel , the second - youngest member of the main cast and the one with perhaps the most promising film career ( the series ' youngest actor , colbie smulders , is a featured cast member in marvel ' s ultra - popular avengers film franchise , but she was not really the star of any the films ) . during his run on the show he starred in a number of films , including two hit films he wrote himself , forgetting sarah marshall and the muppets ( co - written with nicholas stoller ) .\nunlike in cold blood , capote is very much a work of fiction , with a plot dependent on incidents that were created for the film . the movie focuses on capote\u2019s inner struggle as he wrestles with writing a \u201cgreat\u201d work of literature . in the film , he comes to realize that for his work to succeed , he must manipulate , exploit and deceive the two murderers , perry smith and dick hickock .\nhile one can argue how much license makers of fictional films based on actual events have to alter known facts , journalists should be aware that such biopics often take liberties with events as they happened . yet subsequent columns that used the film as a jumping -

none of which appear to satisfy , simply feeding the appetite , rather , for second viewings and yet more interpretations .\nas an example of a nonjudgmental film , and its subject as someone who made an effort to interact positively and write genuinely about the \u201cred state\u201d region . he bolsters his case with dubious evidence :\nthere is of course always the ethics task force , set up by the sec and the fbi to guard against wall street fraud . one of the movie ' s continuing puzzles involves the possibility that several characters may be working undercover for the task force or black star . secret information has a way of getting around , and the seriousness of the people behind the deal is made fairly clear when hanson finds a bleeding heart in his refrigerator .\nnot a human heart ,\nthe cops quickly reassure him .\nthe filmmakers explain capote\u2019s presence on death row with a scene in which he gives \u201cwarden krutch\u201d a $ 10 , 000 cash payoff , which gains the writer unprecedented access to his two protagonists . capote is shown spending months bonding with smith , all the while hoping to get smith to describe what happened and how he felt on the night of the crime . the film concludes with the hanging of smith and hickock , and a note stating that capote never completed another book ; the film suggests that the process was so personally scarring that it irretrievably shattered capote as an artist .\na film i was always curious to see , as i ' d not seen it when it came out , quite good , showing its age now though , but worth seeing .\ngadot , 28 , is best known for her roles in the fast and furious films but will also star as wonder woman in the upcoming dc comics film , batman v superman : dawn of justice , directed by zack snyder .\nand it manages to out - scare its predecessor , no mean feat when you think back to that psychedelic boat ride from the first film . dahl himself famously hated the wilder version , while wilder hated the burton one . the truth is somewhere in between all these extremes .\n( 11 / 17 / 05 ) , daniel mendelsohn wrote that \u201cthe film focuses on the . . . five - year period during which the killers , assisted at first by capote , found better lawyers , made appeals and won stays of execution . \u201d\nthe film ends with a long shot of pierrot ' s school steps , with children coming out at the end of the day . we ' ve seen this very static shot before , earlier in the film , when georges goes to pick his son up . in the final scene , we can make out two crucial characters coming together on the steps . they have a conversation . it ' s hard to tell if they know each other already or if this is their first meeting , but the conversation seems civil . it ' s the long shot that makes it seem threatening .\nhaneke says : ' i like the multiplicity of books , because each book is different in the mind of each reader . it ' s the same with this film - if 300 people are in a cinema watching it , they will all see a different film , so in a way there are thousands of different versions of hidden . the point being that , despite what tv shows us , and what the news stories tell us , there is never just one truth , there is only personal truth . '\nhaneke says : ' i ' m not going to give anyone this answer . if you think it ' s majid , pierrot , georges , the malevolent director , god himself , the human conscience - all these answers are correct . but if you come out wanting to know who sent the tapes , you didn ' t understand the film . to ask this question is to avoid asking the real question the film raises , which is more : how do we treat our conscience and our guilt and reconcile ourselves to living with our actions ?\nand in the same way that he was given an opportunity at disney , iger gave lasseter and catmull a big one too , putting them in charge of disney animation . the division has since released hits including\nfrozen ,\nthe top -

action film , as it was with iger , but with the digital revolution .\nthe film is notorious among readers for being an in name only adaptation \u2014 in particular , changing the blond , british protagonist into a black - haired american who is more of an exorcist than a magician \u2014 but it has merits aplenty if viewed as a standalone work .\nby most accounts , disney is king of the hill in hollywood . the world ' s largest entertainment firm , it owns television networks , a film studio and growing theme park and consumer products businesses \u2014 all of which work together to get maximum mileage out of the company ' s stable of intellectual property .\nin the 1971 version , willy wonka\u2019s diminutive orange assistants were cuddly choir crooners , but in burton\u2019s film , they are laced with menace thanks to the multi -

day reign as the coach of the english football club leeds united .\nthe neat part about the above porcelain musical horror show is that it climaxes with the song\u2019s subject not on the throne provided for him but in the audience .\ndwight takes the bodies to a tar pit , where he is attacked by an ex - ira mercenary hired by mob boss wallenquist . he nearly drowns in the tar before miho saves him . the mercenary runs away in the sewer with jackie boy ' s severed head but dwight and miho are able to retrieve it and return to old town . meanwhile , the head mercenary , manute ( michael clarke duncan ) , kidnaps gail . becky has made a deal with the mob and has betrayed the prostitutes . the mob is moving to invade with manute leading . dwight trades jackie boy\u2019s head in exchange for gail , but activates an explosive he placed inside the head , destroying it before it can be taken to the cops for evidence . the other prostitutes gun down the mercenaries while an injured becky escapes .\ntap on the head : constantine to the bar ' s bouncer the second time he goes there .\nwhile the show was eventually one of cbs ' most popular sitcoms , it struggled in the ratings for the first three seasons ( leading to\nback - up\nmothers if the show was canceled earlier than expected , as detailed in this earlier tv legends revealed ) . so the actors on the show certainly did not expect the show to last nine seasons . nor did the producers , who found themselves increasingly straining how long a guy could tell the story of how he met his kids ' mother . this time limitation was particularly evident in the final season of the show , which took place over just a single weekend . the series also found itself in an interesting position towards the end of its run . in the early days it was at the mercy of cbs , but in the late seasons it was cbs who wanted to keep the show going while the cast and crew were a bit unsure . the show ' s producers and the cast were locked in for eight seasons after getting a two - year renewal during season 6 . the renewal for the final season , though , went down to the wire and was announced towards the end of the eighth season ( right before the creators would have had to commit to plotting a series finale if a deal had not been reached ) .\ni admire the film ' s anger and intelligence , and the generally persuasive level of the performances ; robert loggia really seems like a ceo and selma blair really seems like an idealistic college graduate . francoise yip , for that matter , seems like the sort of best corporate friend who always seems to know more than she should , and to be trying to tell you more than she can say .\nnot to be confused with the constantine television adaptation of the comic of the same name , which is more faithful to the source material .\ncapote\u2019s ambivalence about smith and hickock and the agonizing turmoil it wreaks on his life is the major plot line throughout the film . several scenes dramatize his willingness to intercede on behalf of the killers . after their conviction , capote is depicted as hiring lawyers to represent them in their appeals , angering his newly befriended law enforcement source , kansas bureau of investigation agent alvin dewey ( played by chris cooper ) . when smith goes on a hunger strike to try to die before facing the hangman , capote spoons him baby food through the bars of his cell , telling him that he still must live so that capote can reveal to the world that he is not a \u201cmonster . \u201d capote\u2019s real motive , according to the film , is to keep smith alive as a continued source of material for his epic .\nthis movie started out with some of the most impressively terrible dialogue i ' ve seen in a film in quite some time . you can actively see the actors struggle with trying to make it sound like stuff actual human beings might say ( except for selma blair , who i ' m convinced just ad libbed the shit out of her scenes . which is why she ' s by far the best part of the movie . . . )\n, on which the film is based , that claims that capote attempted to secure legal representation for smith and hickock . nor is this assertion included in any other nonfiction account that i have seen . duane west , the county prosecutor at the time , told me that the initial appeal was handled by attorneys appointed and paid for by the state of kansas . subsequent appeals were taken up by members of the kansas legal aid society of the state bar association after they were contacted by dick hickock , a fact mentioned in\nfargo\u2019s creators , the coen brothers , are known for their playfulness , the inclusion of \u201clittle touches\u201d that add to a film . given the coens\u2019 reputation for this , you\u2019d think any responsible film reviewer would have made at least a stab at confirming this bold claim before blithely passing it along as fact . ( had they done any checking , they would have quickly discovered that nothing so much as vaguely resembling that level of carnage had occurred in minnesota . not in 1987 . not ever . ) as a result of those reviews , an even greater number ended up believing what the coen brothers had to have thought no one but the incredibly gullible would fall for . their little leg - pull went over big time .\nrival comic book franchise marvel , makers of the iron man , avengers and captain america films , has no public plans to make their own female - led superhero film , despite a high level of interest from fans , many of whom would like to see the avengers ' black widow ( scarlett johnasson ) in her own spin - off movie .\npart 1 : ( washington navy yard , nighttime ) the film opens with a brief flashback to the battle of jenkins ferry ( april 30 , 1864 ) . then it shows two free black soldiers conversing with a seated president lincoln during a cold , wet evening . they are joined by two nervous , young , white soldiers , who soon begin a revealing discussion about the gettysburg address .\nand the devil are in a bet over who can influence mankind the most . roger ebert on the movie :\nbut not everything iger has touched has turned to gold . in 2009 , he put tv veteran rich ross in charge of the film studio . three years later , disney parted ways with ross after the release of\njohn carter ,\nthe poorly received sci - fi epic that resulted in a $ 200 - million write - down . ross had also put\nlone ranger\ninto production .\ncapote\u2019s extended prison sojourns in the film are likewise fictionalized . in five years , capote personally visited his subjects no more than half a dozen times , though he did correspond with hickock and smith on a weekly basis . he placed a great value on access to information , but was less interested in dealing with the defendants as people . the baby food scene and other death row confrontations were likewise invented .\nearly in the film , [ capote ] becomes absorbed with the lives of the accused murderers , especially perry smith , whose undoubted intelligence and troubled early years seem to resemble his own . he tries to secure better lawyers for them . and indeed through these interventions , capote produces stays of execution for years , partly out of sympathy but also to give him more time to collect material for his book .\nto the credit of the board , they did not throw me out of the room ,\nhe said .\na chronicle of the weeks after the 2000 u . s . presidential election , and the subsequent recounts in florida .\nthe elaborate suspense revolving around the toxic mix of oil , money and politics that the media only ever seems to brush the surface , makes for heady viewing .\nthe spear of destiny rises behind angela while she ' s in the pool .\n: the movie removes all elements of non - christian mythology from the setting .\npublic domain artifact : the lance of longinus , aka the spear of destiny .\nhaneke says : ' although this scene happens in silence , i did actually write dialogue for it . the actors are actually speaking it and it might stand as an explanation for some . in any case , that dialogue will never be written in the published screenplay for the film and i told the actors never to reveal it to anyone . they are bound to silence forever and i hope they will have forgotten it by now , because they didn ' t know when they were shooting it what the significance of the scene might be . '\nmendelsohn bought into the film\u2019s premise that capote was ambivalent , initially helpful to the murderers but ultimately eager to have them done in to pave his way to stardom . he accurately cited a 1965 letter from capote , quoted in clarke\u2019s biography , in which he say he\u2019s \u201ckeeping his fingers crossed\u201d that all appeals will be denied and that the execution will swiftly ensue . but mendelsohn failed to mention that capote expressed exactly the same sentiments in published letters written two years earlier .\nthe deal\nis a thriller about wall street insiders , set during an oil crisis a few years in the future . the united states is at war with the\nconfederation of arab states ,\ngas is $ 6 a gallon and getting more expensive , and there ' s enormous pressure to find new sources for oil . more than most thrillers , this one seems to be based on expert insights ; its author , ruth epstein , wrote the screenplay against a background of wall street experience , and its view of boardroom politics has a convincing level of detail . it ' s not in every thriller that you hear , someone say ,\noil is a fungible commodity .\nthe deal\nappreciates how big institutions like slater ' s have factions and infighting ; when he lands the condor account , there ' s jealousy from hank weiss ( a leaner , meaner colm feore ) , who is supposed to be the firm ' s oil expert . there is also a middle - aged woman in research who knows all sorts of things that nobody ever asks her about : for example , that there is no oil in the\noil fields\ncontrolled by black star . what ' s going on ?\noil may have been shipped from there ,\nhanson is told by a cryptic insider ,\nbut i can ' t tell you where it came out of the ground .\nthe cover of the sin city book\nbooze , broads , and bullets\n, can be seen periodically throughout the movie . its most notable appearance is on the cover of the matchbook that hartigan picks up to locate nancy ; it is also seen in the background of the strip club in the very next scene as hartigan first enters ( to the right as a poster ) .\nthe dulcinea effect :\ndefinitely . . . mostly not about the girl .\npedestrian crushes car : at the beginning , when the mexican man finds the spear of destiny , he walks onto a road and a car runs into him . the car is totaled , the man is unscathed .\nan internet meme made misleading comparisons between presidential donations and the sizes of the first ladies ' staffs , calling the trumps\ngivers\nand the obamas\ntakers .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nno quality difference than watching a vhs tape . annoying when companies transfer to dvd or blu ray for that matter and do nothing about rendering the image to make a better quality prodcut . i could use my machine to transfer my vhs to disk and it would look exactly like this one . so unless to you want the ability to forward to sections of the film which dvd gives you , don ' t bother if you have a vhs version .\nor sensing the emotions of an event from touching the newspaper can lead to this result .\nat the end of the movie , he ' s seen popping gum in his mouth .\ncontinuing the storyline of the gathering storm ( 2002 ) , churchill at war is a look at the former british prime minister ' s life and career at the end of wwii .\na young novelist returning home to salem ' s lot after many years is disturbed by the strange behaviour of its people . he begins to believe that the source of the trouble may be the eerie old marsten house that overlooks the town .\nmy death is just the beginning : constantine resorts to this to prevent the release of mammon .\nafter some demons are destroyed , angela starts coughing due to the smell of sulfur / sulphur . constantine says\nhappens to everyone the first time\n, a reference to the\neveryone falls the first time\nbit in the matrix .\n( white house office , early evening ) the president and secretary seward discuss the state of the lobbying efforts and seward reveals his anger at the president\u2019s decision to authorize peace negotiations without consulting him . the scene then shifts briefly to \u201cno man\u2019s land\u201d outside of petersburg , va and captures the confederate officials being transported into union lines , before returning the point -

man : homecoming ' s star is getting through a lot of outfits \u2013 although it ' s not because he ' s all fingers and thumbs , but just too physically active .\nit\u2019s exciting to see where future homecoming movies will go now that may knows peter is spider - man and how she chooses to deal with that information . at the very least , it\u2019s yet another thing that helps differentiate the mcu spider - man from those that came before .\nit ' s relevant to the story because it takes place in high school and there is a scene \u2014 that i guess i can give a little thing \u2014 at a homecoming dance . i ' ve actually seen the dailies of it because we already did the high school shooting of it in the first couple weeks and it ' s fantastic .\nthe bigger takeaway from the scene is the hint at a future spider - man villain , scorpion .\nnot that such structural tinkering should be discouraged , of course . the modern audio drama remains way too reliant on skeuomorphism , too tethered to analogs and facsimiles of old radio formats . and so homecoming should be commended for trying out a few novel additions to the vocabulary of audio drama ; if only they had a story , and a plot , worth testing its new inventions . as it stands , homecoming \u2019s main contribution to the form is the way it attends to the following operational question , one untested until the debut of its first season : will the quality of an audio drama change when you stock it with performers of an extremely high level ? the answer is most definitely yes , wonderfully so .\nlaura harrier as liz allan while her last name is not mentioned in the movie proper one of big twists we find out is that liz\u2019s dad is actually adrian toomes aka the vulture . there is the chance that allan will become her name if her mother decides to get a divorce following the trial . liz first appeared in the comics in 1962 but in 1974 she was revived in a story line that revealed her stepbrother was the molten man . if her mother ends up getting a divorce and remarries then it would make sense that they could go that route with the character . at the end of the movie she moves away from new york to oregon with her mother so she\u2019s not in town when the trial of her father starts .\nthere are shockers in spider - man : homecoming \u2014 two of them , in fact \u2014 but what\u2019s not much of a surprise is that peter parker ( tom holland ) saves the day and foils the vulture ' s ( michael keaton ) plan to steal a plane full of avengers gear .\nrian johnson spoke with good morning america yesterday following the star wars : the last jedi sizzle reel from d23 , and was asked about the role of carrie fisher in the movie . \u201ccarrie gives a really beautiful performance in the film , \u00a3 he said . \u201cwe obviously didn\u2019t make the movie to be her final star wars movie . given that though , i think there are scenes that she has that are going to mean a lot to people and there are scenes that we have with her where now not having her around i watch them and i think i\u2019m really thankful that we have that and we can give that to people . \u201d read the rest of the interview here .\nhis monologue is done in the style of the various educational school videos that play throughout\nspider -

credits scenes .\nbehind the camera , we have relative newcomer jon watts . he directed 2014 ' s surprisingly funny clown and 2015 ' s cop car . the excellent performances from the young actors in the latter presumably helped bag him the job on spider - man .\nwatts said there ' s a chance we could definitely see toomes return . and that ' s great news . not only was keaton one of the bright spots of\nhomecoming ,\nbut it ' s tough to imagine a future spider - man movie without him . after all , he ' s a part of the sinister six \u2014 a legion of spider - man villains who eventually gather together . sony has considered making a movie about them in the past .\nthor is imprisoned on the planet sakaar , and must race against time to return to asgard and stop ragnar\u00f6k , the destruction of his world , at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain hela .\ngargan appears earlier in the film , during the boat scene , attempting to purchase chitauri weaponry , but gets imprisoned after an encounter with spider - man and the fbi . during the mid - credits scene , the character , itching his scorpion tattoo , asks whether vulture knows who the superhero really is , saying there are \u201cfriends on the outside\u201d wanting revenge .\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 .\nzendaya repeatedly assured fans for months she wasn ' t playing mary jane or spidey ' s love interest , and for the most part , she kept her word \u2014 her first name is really michelle in this iteration of spider - man . she also isn ' t linked to peter romantically , at least in this movie . since there ' s already a sequel to\nhomecoming\nin the works , that could certainly change .\ndonald glover as aaron davis aka the prowler a lot was made of glover when he was cast in spider - man : homecoming because he\u2019d been vocal for years about wanting to play miles morales . it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s going to get the opportunity , but he does get the chance to play someone close to miles morales . aaron davis , aka the prowler , is miles\u2019 uncle and a thief . in the movie he\u2019s seen as a low level thief just looking to buy some weapons and in a police report the name \u201cprowler\u201d is seen as an alias . while peter is questioning him aaron gives up the location of the next weapons sale because he wants the high tech weapons off of the street because \u201che has a nephew in this neighborhood / . \u201d he never says how old this kid is only that he exists which makes miles morales fans very happy .\nactor drake bell is the voice of peter parker on the animated series ' ultimate spider - man . '\nwakanda is the most technologically advanced country in the world , but almost no one knows it even exists .\nvictoria justice , who hosted the 2016 show , came out to highlight an instagram game for fans watching at home - giving the first clue of the night .\nas spider - man , however , tom holland feels far closer to the average teenager , smartyet insecure , and with a mouth that just won\u2019t stop . yes , he\u2019s as awkward in the suit as he is out of it , but spider - man : homecoming never sets up a hackneyed nerds - v - jocks scenario . instead , it depicts high school in a way that most people in their teens would see as being perfectly normal .\nthat sense of disorientation is further exacerbated by the creative team\u2019s decision to eschew any guiding narration . the non - narrated format is a technique that you\u2019d almost exclusively find employed among documentary podcasts , most prominently by the history - oriented radio diaries and the more aggressively ambitious love + radio ( which often exploits the non - narration to blur the lines between fact and fiction to powerful effect ) . but both those shows still had the benefit of relying on the interview format as a key , giving audiences a framework that they\u2019re already familiar with to justify the experience of a nonconventional structure . homecoming , in contrast , has no such key , seemingly opting to present itself as an enigma whose enigmatism is justification enough . this is slightly less of a problem in this second season , which is decidedly more conventional than the first , but some troublesome stylistic tics are nonetheless held over .\n\u201cif the whole movie is having fun with the ( teen - movie ) world , why couldn\u2019t our post - credits scene do the same ? \u201d watts says .\niron man and the gang take down hydra and recapture loki ' s scepter . but tony uses the stone inside the weapon to create artificial intelligence , ultron . this backfires and ultron wages war against the avengers and the human race . you start to see a real break in the team between cap and iron man on their beliefs . they eventually take down ultron , but at the cost of countless lives after the city of sokovia is destroyed .\nspider - man is back on the big screen for the sixth time , but now sony and disney ' s marvel studios have teamed up to bring the web crawler to life . that means fans of the franchise should make sure to stick around after the film is over for not one , but two extra scenes after the movie ends .\ncw ' s drama riverdale won choice tv drama show where dedicated the award to an important member of the show ' s family who passed away during the first season .\naccording to kevin feige , marvel studios will be making the creative decisions on the film , so we can look forward to a spider - man movie that is completely ( and finally ) synched up with the rest of the mcu .\nhow it ends - - the collector ' s home where he keeps his treasures is destroyed and we see howard the duck for the first time in 20 years on screen .\nhow it ends - spidey wins the day and wins the respect of stark in the process . but in the end , he agrees with tony ' s original assessment and turns down a spot to be in the avengers to remain everyone ' s favorite\nfriendly neighborhood spider -

perfect family turns to blackmail , revenge and betrayal .\nmost of the show\u2019s pleasure comes from the opportunity it gives to marinate yourself in keener , schwimmer , sedaris , and isaac\u2019s performances . homecoming is , and i don\u2019t mean this uncharitably , essentially a series of intriguing scene work strung together with makeshift narrative threads . the characters are mostly presented in pairs , and the action plays out in a consistent stream of negotiation , transaction , mind games , and verbal combat . ( very rarely are there pure conversations . ) keener matches up with a casual isaac , effervescent with chemistry . sedaris squares off with schwimmer , and later jonze . most of the cast gets solid individual moments \u2014 even michael cera gets a moment to express fiery agita \u2014 but it is schwimmer\u2019s performance that truly stands out . his verbal style , perpetually soaked in a sense of desperation , acutely embodies two intertwining themes that run throughout the show : gaslighting and shitty men . it\u2019s shocking , really , just how potently schwimmer\u2019s performance evokes the feeling of the consuming political coverage in 2017 , in which every rational cell in your brain is being assaulted by the words , actions , and emotions of one man .\njacob batalon as ned leeds while this one could be in name only ned leeds is best known as the third hobgoblin . leeds is a character that was first introduced in 1964 . in the movie ned is seen as peter\u2019s best friend and the \u201cman in the chair\u201d as peter calls him . he\u2019s also one of the few people who knows who spider -

man , iron fist , and the human torch .\nto say that spider - man : homecoming has a lot of callbacks to marvel comics and spider - man comics in particular would be an understatement . this is one of those movies where every character on screen is a callback or a hint toward another character . there are some that are obvious and some that we\u2019ve known for awhile but having seen the movie it\u2019s time to take a look at all of these characters and see who they are . to do so will require a spoiler warning about various plot points over the course of the movie . some of these reveals are pretty fun to watch play out so if you don\u2019t want to know anything skip this article and we\u2019ll see you after july 7th .\n, but the parents next to me , who had brought their five -

did they photograph fairies ? you have to watch the film to find out . but if you want to see the daughter of one of these young girls talk about what really happened , you can find an interview with her on youtube , from a brit tv show . fascinating . this is completely a family film , you can show it in any company - - but be prepared to have a family discussion afterwards . and to buy your kids a camera .\nbeautiful film . . . lovely story . good fun and gorgeous english countryside . the actors were well cast with lovely kids . loved it\nthis film ostensibly tells the\ntrue story\nof the girls who photographed the\ncottingley fairies\nin yorkshire . but the film takes the point of view that the photographs were genuine and that the fairies were real . in old age , the girls involved admitted it was all a hoax - so why does the film treat what they say as true ? there is a scene in which arthur conan doyle tries to convince committed rationalist harry houdini ( harvey keitel ) that what the girls say must be true - after all how could they , two young girls with apparently no knowledge of photography , fake the photographs and fool some of the greatest minds in the country ? houdini maintains , of course , that they have done so , however unlikely it may seem . it strikes me that what houdini says is correct and that this is a better story to tell ! it is precisely because it seems so unlikely that makes it such a good story ( now that we know the truth ) . my view is that the two little girls were hoaxers , but that doesn ' t mean i don ' t have an enormous amount of respect for their achievement . surely a better tribute is paid to them by showing fully the extent of their cleverness ?\na really great story and very well produced . would be nice to have it in blue ray . also , the sound track music is really wonderful and i would love a cd of the music but it is only available a great expense ( over $ 50 . 00 ) and is probably just a recording of the sound track and not a performance of the music . however , it is a great movie and so well done !\nthis was a charming story . the two young girls give a great performance . it also gives an interesting historical backdrop thanks to the characters of houdini and sir arthur conan doyle . after our first viewing , we decided we had to own this .\nmy roots are deep and i was told that she was related , i never believed this to be true until i started researching and found that my family roots are jamestown , surry and surrounding tidewater towns .\nat a fairytale come true , we provide professional princesses who are talented entertainers and character actresses for events and private parties . choose the princess that your daughter desires ! ! the princess will host your son or daughter ' s party and entertain your guests . the fairy tale party will be filled of exciting activities such as musical games , face painting , make overs , and picture time with the princess . ?

the fairies are a juicy story ; perhaps , he insinuates , part of a conspiracy orchestrated by sir arthur . to arch - skeptic harry houdini , who fought hard to expose the cynical exploitation of the bereaved by fraudulent mediums after the death of his beloved mother , the cottingley photographs represent a charming and comparatively harmless illusion .\nswiss archaeologists seem to have solved a mystery at a famous roman site . they have come to the conclusion that some mysterious shafts at the archaeological site were used as a method of refrigeration .\nsome other sidenotes on this story : cinderella doesn ' t have a fairy godmother . rather , she plants a tree by her mother ' s grave and prays under it every day . she finds her dresses to wear to each ball under the tree ( there are three in the story , not one like in the movie ) . she is still helped by animals , though specifically birds , not mice . also , she doesn ' t just lose her shoe because she is in a rush . the clever prince covers the steps in pitch to make her stick to them , but she only loses a shoe in the process .\nthis is based on the true story of 2 girls from cottingly who said they had seen ' real fairies ' at the beck at the bottom of their garden . beautifully shot in a lovely location , this is a really charming film for all ages -

( urltoken )\ndepending on the version you\u2019re researching , maui is either a god , a demigod , or an incredibly strong human who helped shape the polynesian islands . however , most legends claim he is a demigod . maui is known for his mischievous nature as well as his magical fishing hook , but he is often portrayed as a hero in mythology .\nin moana , maui is abandoned by his parents as a child and raised by the god . though maui is often characterized as a demigod in many legends , he\u2019s often described as the son of a god ( tangaroa ) and a mortal woman , making this parentage a key difference between polynesian legends and the disney version . also , in many legends , maui has a relationship with his parents and his brothers , even though disney made the choice to add the deity to its constantly - growing orphan club .\nmost people are familiar with the story of pocahontas \u2013 the native american princess who fell in love with englishman john smith during the height of conflict between the english settlers and the indigenous people of the americas . in 1995 , disney released an artistically beautiful animated film showing the supposed events that unfolded between john smith and pocahontas . although disney is known for creating fictional tales , many people believed that disney\u2019s account of the life of pocahontas was a true reflection of past events : the love between pocahontas and john smith , the bravery pocahontas showed when saving john smith\u2019s life , and the tragic ending when john smith returned to england for medical treatment . however , this depiction is a far departure from the actual events that occurred , and from the real life of pocahontas .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\na film with no discernable point of view that ' s directed at no definable audience .\na collaborative process that lawton , 25 years later , sees as only for the best .\nanother film off the list from the 1997 toronto international film festival , from the galas . again a movie that i missed when it came out and the only reason i saw it was because of this list . this movie is not only for children or adults with children , anyone with a open mind should see this , or anyone one who enjoys a movie that is just not another movie . set right after wwi , 2 young girls find and take a picture of a fairy , and the girls meet harry houdini , and sir arthur conan doyle ( the lost world ) who takes an interest in them . all and all a good clean family movie , saw nothing that would make me not let children see it . 5 stars alone for that reason . 5 stars for the acting and overall story .\nthat\u2019s not exactly what happened , though ziskin certainly contributed to the film\u2019s conclusion . and while it would also be a good , dark hollywood story if screenwriter j . f . lawton were devastated by the way his gritty drama , originally called 3 , 000 , was turned into the uber - rom - com pretty woman , that\u2019s not what happened either . lawton was a struggling screenwriter when he first wrote 3 , 000 in the late 1980s , a dark drama that drew inspiration from films like wall street and the last detail . as lawton tells it , he was just trying to do something new to get a gig . \u201ci was a screenwriter who was trying to get a job , i was unemployed and i was working in post - production and i was trying to sell scripts , and i had been writing all of these ninja scripts and comedies , and i just couldn\u2019t get any attention . \u201d so , it was time for a change . \u201ci suddenly said , \u2018well , maybe i need to do something more serious and dramatic , \u2019 and i had written a script called red sneakers which was about a one - legged lesbian standup comic who was an alcoholic , and all of a sudden , i got a lot of attention . people were really interested !

pyarelal ) and pardah hai pardah ( amar akbar anthony ; laxmikant - pyarelal . ) in 1978 , lp\u0092s apnapan got rafi a filmfare nomination though eventually the song landed up with a lyric award ( anand bakshi ) instead & apos ; aadmi musaafir hai .\nkaish amari comes from a wealthy islamic family . at the tender age of six he is sent to school and gets friendly with a young girl named laila . both of them become close friends , so much so . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film\u2019s arrival at the box office was preceded by a mad interest in its audio cassettes ; set - ups at the cinema halls usually just had a cut - out of majnu covered in sweat and blood . next to his bruised frame were written sahir\u2019s lyrics and abrar alvi\u2019s heart - piercing dialogues which drew heavily from persian - arab myths and traditions . at most places , the film had a long and remarkable run , necessitating a new round of hoardings to mark the silver jubilee . at others , where it had a limited engagement , it came back for a second round , then the third , each time cinegoers turned up in hundreds to soak in the travails of the love - birds .\ntrivia : madan mohan had recorded six songs for the movie and passed away during the making of the film . three songs were composed by jaidev . however , both were credited for all the songs .\nlaila\u2019s recall value was further enhanced with sonu nigam using the name in the lyrics of his superhit song tu from his 1998 album kismat . the video featured nigam , one of the hottest indipop stars of the time , and bipasha basu , who was yet to make her bollywood debut .\nundoubtedly , the most versatile male voice in hindi film music , rafi was first heard behind the screen in 1941 when he was hardly 15 , in the punjabi film , gul buloch , and in the same year he sang for his first hindi film , gaon ki gori , in bombay . his first break had been given by the late shyam sunder , but the song that made him famous was the jugnu duet ( 1947 ) , yahaan badla wafa ka , which he sang with noorjehan . soon , he drew notice to himself with ek dil ke tukde hazaar hue ( pyar ki jeet ) and main zindagi mein hardum rota hi raha hoon ( barsaat ) .\nah ! to be young and in love in the 70s ! the decade had many attractions for love - birds , each more intoxicating than the other . it opened with the epochal love story \u201cheer - raanjha\u201d where young men could not have enough of the ample charms of priya rajvansh or the peerless voice of mohammed rafi in \u201cyeh duniya yeh mehfil mere kaam ki nahin\u201d . then came raj kapoor\u2019s \u201cbobby\u201d that introduced the fresh - as - dew dimple kapadia with rishi kapoor ; the boy teeming with baby fat . laxmikant - pyarelal\u2019s a music score touched the pulse of the youth in a way that was yards ahead of madan mohan\u2019s score in \u201cheer - raanjha\u201d . three years after \u201cbobby\u201d came the greatest love story of them all , \u201claila majnu\u201d that once again presented rishi kapoor ; this time with ranjeeta , the girl who could have retired post this film yet be known to posterity .\nthe lovers\u2019 first meeting in the market place promises a forceful depiction of the first stirring of love , but , the sequence peters out when you see kais ( rishi kapoor ) appear\u00ading and disappearing as if by magic . later , during his noc\u00adturnal visits into laila\u2019s ( ran\u00adjeeta ) bedroom , he recites ver\u00adses like one who was doing it without knowing the meaning of the lines .\nso far so good , but \u201claila majnu\u201d worked primarily for its songs and music . madan mohan gave music to most of the songs before the hand of fate snatched him away , leaving jaidev to take care of the unfinished task . sahir ludhianvi , then probably at the peak of his popularity \u2013 \u201ckabhi kabhie\u201d which propelled him to another level came around the same time \u2013 dished out lyrics that conveyed the angst of denial , the joy of the one madly in love , and the final inescapable surrender to the almighty . with songs like \u201ctere dar pe aaya hun\u201d , \u201choke mayoos tere dar se\u201d , \u201cab agar hum se\u201d and \u201clikh kar tera naam zameen par\u201d sahir covered the spectrum from belief and faith to open defiance and blasphemy . the youngsters , not far from either of the two experiences , nodded in their approval .\nsince 1966 , the world of indian film music has been losing its stalwarts one by one though music has its own way of evading the sound of silence . with the death of the gentleman giant , mohammed rafi ( 55 ) , the field of playback singing has lost another voice . a series of shock deaths have dominated in 1980 and rafi\u0092s departure came close on the heels of uttam kumar\u0092s , a week earlier .\nthen of course was the small matter of mohammed rafi scaling newer heights ; the film helped him recover much of the ground he had lost to kishore kumar over the past few years . he was particularly memorably in the higher scales of songs \u201clikh kar tera naam\u201d and \u201cab agar humse\u201d . lata mangeshkar gave him able support , but hers was essentially a supporting role in a music score that was clearly designed to present the best of rafi .\nthis was also the year which saw the advent of the prestigious filmfare awards and binaca geet mala , both being the most representative studies of trends ( the latter in music only ) . naushad bagged the very first filmfare award for best music ( baiju bawra ) and rafi was firmly established as no . 1 with his unforgettable man tarpat hari darshan ko aaj , tu ganga ki mauj and duniya ke rakhwaale , and the film headed the first binaca geet mala , too .\nrelating the ageless love story of layla and qais , the mad man \u2013 majnun in arabic translates to a mad man \u2013 the film\u2019s message of love , eternal , undying , unflagging , struck a cord at the box office . the theme won over those who had read a bit of literature and knew a thing or two about the warring tribes of the arab world \u2013 apparently , the tribes would rather perish than give away their girl in marriage to a guy from the rival clan .\nyet , bairaag ( 1974 ) reminded people that rafi was alive and with a lot of fight still left in him . after all , peetey peetey kabhi kabhi , / yoon jaam badal jaate hain ! and with lata again , rafi made sure there would be no close encounters of the 1963 - kind : vaada kar le saajna , ( haath ki safai ; 1975 ) . and finally , in 1977 , rafi proved once again that hum kissi se kum nahin . in the film , all four songs sung by rafi became superhits : the title qawaali , kya hua tera vaada ( which fetched him the filmfare award after a break of nine long years ) , chaand mera dil and yeh ladka haaye allah .\nnote : 1 . * madanji sings as he composes the third antra of this emotional song , the tune of which was different from the first two antras , and has some high portions , which he is creating in this rehearsal . madanji recorded this song in his lifetime , though the film released 2 years later . 2 . * * madanji sings as he composes the mukhda of this song . he had also rehearsed the song with all musicians and kishoreda , but died a few days before scheduled recording . the song was finally recorded a month later by his assistants . 3 . all other songs except song yeh pyar ka nasha were recorded by madanji in his lifetime . this song , like song 5 , was recorded by his assistants later .\nover a career span of 25 years ( 1950 -

( junglee ) and they reluctantly admitted , ahsaan tera hoga mujh par ( junglee ) , for they , too , could now see that ab kya misaal doon ( aarti ) .\n1963 saw a feud between lata mangeshkar and mohd rafi & apos ; but this was one time that lata could not obliterate a person once she boycotted him . dil todnewaale , / tujhe dil dhoondh raha hai ( son of india ; 1963 ) said rafi and although they both said , awaaz de ke , / humme tum bulaao ( professor ; 1963 ) , they stopped singing duets for about three years . it was suman kalyanpur who then rose to the top with rafi\u0092s dil ek mandir hai ( title song ; 1963 ) despite the promise between the two , lata and rafi , jo vaada kiya woh nibhaana padega ( taj mahal ; 1963 ) .\nmaybe rafi felt inwardly depressed , kabhi na kabhi , / kahin na kahin , / koi na koi to aayega ( sharabi ; 1964 ) and might have secretly courted lata with tere husn ki kya taarif karoon ( leader ; 1964 ) and phir wohi dil laya hoon ( title song ; 1964 ) . he even revealed , yeh mera prem patra padh kar / ke tum naaraaz na ho na ( sangam ; 1964 ) but the two hit songs of that year remained separate solos by the two : mere mehboob tujhe , / meri mohabbat ki kasam ( title song ) and tum kamsin ho ( ayee milan ki bela ) .\nnevertheless , rafi did not lose any hold on the mike and listeners continued telling him , taarif karoon kya uski , / jis ne tumhe banaya ( kashmir ki kali ) . but soon the patchup came . if rafi lamented , chaahunga main tujhe saanjh savere ( dosti ; 1965 ) it was now time to open up : dil jo na keh saka , / wohi raaz - e - dil , / kehne ki raat aayi ( bheegi raat ; 1966 ) . rafi had had enough ; kya se kya hogaya , / bewafa , tere pyar mein ( guide ; 1966 ) . and finally lata did return to him for those dulcet duets once again and rafi said : bahaaron phool barsaao , / mera mehboob aaya hai ( suraj ; 1966 ) !\nmeri awaaz suno , / pyaar ka raaz suno ( naunihal ; 1967 ) said rafi to his fans as if he was an aasmaan se aaya farishta ( an evening in paris ; 1968 ) and though he told them in return , tum bin jaoon kahaan ( pyar ka mausam ; 1969 ) little did he realise that for the first time he would lose ground to that very singer who sang that very number in a separate solo : kishore kumar . but then jab dil se dil takraata hai , / mat poochhiye kya ho jata hai ( sunghursh ; 1969 ) .\nrafi desperately tried to convince people , main ek raaja hoon ( uphaar ; 1972 ) but except for a teri bindiya re ( abhimaan ; 1973 ) here , and a woh kya hai ( anuraag ; 1973 ) there , rafi was forced into the background . even his return with yaadon ki baraat ; 1974 ) was in the company of his self - avowed fan , kishore & apos ; yaadon ki baraat nikli hai aaj , / dil ke dwaare & apos ; the other being with asha bhosle , chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko .\nand now look at 1979 - 80 ! just when rafi had made a complete comeback , he\u0092s gone ! laxmikant - pyarelal gave him all seven songs in sargam ( four solos , three duets with lata ) and walked away with the best music award , all seven being top of the pops . they gave him four out of six in suhaag ( the other two being asha\u0092s ) and they have been raging through the binaca geet mala . they gave him five out of six ( the other being lata ) in aasha and did well enough .\nanother indication of his sure return is the fact that dev anand who did not go in for rafi ever since gambler ( 1969 ) & apos ; in which , too , he had just one ghazal & apos ; returned to him after 10 years in the latest man pasand though in just one song , under the baton of rajesh roshan , with tina munim . the weekly binaca geet malas in 1980 have clearly shown so far that rafi is dominating , sometimes with as many as 10 songs as compared to kishore\u0092s two ( on may 28 ) out of a total of 16 toppers !\nas lata mangeshkar said after his death : \u0093the void that was created by saigal\u0092s death had been filled by rafi saab . he sang with me for 33 years . he was an exceptional singer . \u0094\nkar chale hum fida jaan - - tan saathiyon / ab tumhaare hawaale watan saathiyon . . .\nin a blow to theresa may , u . k .

( jay l . clendenin / los angeles times )\nliz garbus ( director , love , marilyn ) : if you\u2019re lucky , your career in the ( documentary ) film business will be a long one . so in some ways , the most important thing for you right now is to forge relationships and find partners who you may work with for years and years ahead . so , if you feel a real connection with a potential buyer / partner , they really love your film , your talents , and share your vision for what the film should do in the world\u2013that may be the better partner than the one offering a bigger mg . likewise , if you dreamed of a theatrical release but the people who love your film the most , and strike you as the most faithful partners , are tv / cable / streaming buyers , consider them seriously . theatrical documentaries that work are far and few between and what you want is your film to be seen and promoted and loved by those releasing it . and guess what , you might go ahead and get started on your next film with them too .\nwith the talk in france of the president\u2019s affair , and the question of whether his private life is fair game for the press , it\u2019s worth considering what a new french film that opens here today\u2014\u201cstranger by the lake , \u201d directed by alain guiraudie\u2014shows and suggests about the tacit boundaries that are built into french society . the story takes place in summertime , in rural france , at a lakeside beach that\u2019s a pickup spot for gay men , and in the neighboring woods where they go to consummate their pickups and where other men , shy of the beach , go to cruise as well .\npeter broderick ( distribution strategist ) : make sure that your publicity team focuses on social media as well as film critics and other entertainment press .\nthat said , as a thriller , stranger by the lake isn\u2019t exactly pulse - pounding . you sense that there\u2019s more going on here than just the basics of plot ; if the film had been made in the nineties , we\u2019d all be saying it was an allegory for aids . in truth , guiraudie seems more interested in what lies on the other side of the mystery . can the anonymous idyll of this beach end in anything but emptiness and despair ? if these men don\u2019t get too close for fear of getting hurt , the director suggests that there might be good reason for that \u2014 and the film gains both suspense and poignancy as it leaves its sun - dappled world behind and plunges us into night . the mystery may be resolved , but the suspense and uncertainty remain . and so , guiraudie ends his film on a cold , almost cruel note of existential solitude that just might , if you let it , break your heart .\namoedo shows a deft ability to turn a bloodthirsty monster movie on its head , into a slow - burn , character - driven film . the stranger takes its time , building the tension through occasional flashbacks and having the audience sympathize with peter , who grew up not knowing his father . peter , like the audience , is kept largely in the dark about his father\u2019s motives or even what he is\u2026 because he\u2019s certainly not human . what is apparent is the chaos his dad\u2019s return has on the small town , especially a member of the police force and his violence - prone son .\nhere ' s a movie that was along the lines of the matrix , it even released in the same year as the matrix and got incapacitated by the matrix . not a bad film though , did you watch the thirteenth floor ?

the high - point is that long take of the drowning . everything before that piked curiosity . afterwards , it lost me until that tense final scene .\na mysterious stranger is always intriguing , whether famous or not . in \u201cthe stranger , \u201d neasa ni chianain ( \u201cfairytale of kathmandu\u201d ) crafts an evocative portrait of neal macgregor , a jewelry designer who turned his back on the world and ended his days in a stone shack on an inaccessible irish island . curiosity is certainly piqued , yet apart from macgregor\u2019s definitive act of seclusion , ni chianain only intermittently conveys why this troubled man should hold audience attention for nearly 90 minutes . viewers will likely find the story sad and of passing interest ; docu fests , irish showcases and public tv are likely destinations .\namoedo shows a deft ability to turn a bloodthirsty monster movie on its head , into a slow - burn , character - driven film . the stranger takes its time , building the tension through occasional flashbacks and having the audience sympathize with peter , who grew up not knowing his father . peter , like the audience , is kept largely in the dark about his father ' s motives or even what he is . . . because he\u2019s certainly not human . what is apparent is the chaos his dad ' s return has on the small town , especially a member of the police force and his violence - prone son .\nit begins to slag even before it can begin to inject any kind of interesting supernatural aspects . it fails to grab us before it\u2019s too late and the drab story is made even more weak by it\u2019s loose pace , which rises and falls without managing to build up any suspense . there is some darkly rich cinematography from chechu graf and the film certainly is technically competent . nicolas duran delivers some decent acting that allows the stranger to keep its feet on the ground while the other players are busy delivering lines as if they don\u2019t realize what point in the movie they\u2019re at .\nguiraudie , who first drew my attention in 2009 with the supreme\nking of escape\n( a comedy of a gay man discovering he ' s madly in love with a woman ) , is definitely flirting with hitchcock in\nstranger of the lake\n, and some of the cutting is instantly recognizable as an homage . however , the complete lack of musical score ( replaced by chirping birds , water lapping against the shore , and lovers panting in ecstasy ) , makes the film something more than a thriller\u2014at its very best , it ' s a meditation on the nature od friendship and desire , as well as the maddening incongruity of the two .\none of the very best films of 2014 opens in the boston area friday , and you almost didn\u2019t get a chance to see it in a movie theater . why that\u2019s so is an absurdly complicated story \u2014 one that , on its surface , seems to be a struggle between a visionary director and a notoriously heavy - handed studio executive . dig a little deeper , though , and the whole mess may say more about an invisible struggle in the movie industry about which audiences get to see what films when . war of wills or battle for our eyeballs \u2014 either way , the drama surrounding \u201csnowpiercer\u201d is almost as gripping as the one on the screen .\nannounced last year , eli roth ( hostel , cabin fever , the green inferno ) and nicol\u00e1s l\u00f3pez ( aftershock ) produced a new indie horror that premiered at the fantastic fest film festival in austin , texas ."]}

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 .\nfollowing on

malice in a way that seems unintentional . in fact , all the characters spend most of the film cloaked in such serious introspection that the absence of any lightness or nuance begins to feel heavy and dull .\nin early 20th century britain , the cause of female suffrage was usually ignored by the press and dismissed by politicians . to gain support for their right to vote , suffragettes turned away from peaceful protest and embraced militant tactics that grew to include window breaking and arson . their fight for equality , which escalated in violence in 1912 and 1913 , is depicted in the new film suffragette . the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote . here are six real - life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .\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 .\nthe real - life character of emmeline pankhurst , portrayed by meryl streep , appears in suffragette . though pankhurst is seen on screen for just a few minutes , she & apos ; s a symbol of inspiration for many of the film & apos ; s characters \u2014 just as pankhurst inspired suffragettes in real life .\nthe novel ' s 1969 film adaptation saw bond ( george lazenby ) driving off to settle down with tracy ( diana rigg ) , only to have her die in a hail of bullets from foe blofeld ( telly savalas ) , as louis armstrong ' s brutally ironic we have all the time in the world plays .\npenned by robert wade and neal purvis \u2013 the screenwriters on all of craig ' s bond films to date , from casino royale to spectre \u2013 the film is set to open with a newly retired bond in\nwedded bliss\nwith dr madeleine swann ( lea seydoux ) , his love interest at the end of spectre .\nafter a deadly flu epidemic kills most of the world\u2019s population , lucky survivors bide their time in hermetically sealed bunkers located 30 feet underground , where they can interact with select others only by sophisticated video conferencing . things start to go haywire in this stable environment after a combative denizen named orlando is banned from his linked community . residents start disappearing or harming themselves , and odd markers ( such as a rat ) hint that these pods aren\u2019t as closed - off as they seem . however , it isn\u2019t until phoenix and denver ( who , improbably , have fallen for each other ) decide to make a run for it that domain\u2019s true mysteries start to reveal themselves . the subsequent unraveling of their situation only creates more questions of what their reality is . suspense - filled and atmospheric\u2014courtesy of an eerie score and a muted color palette\u2014domain raises questions about how well we can really know other people . as the bunker designer nadine puts it at one point : \u201cnever underestimate humanity\u2019s capacity to be punitive . \u201d \u2014a . z .\nplot : thirty years after the events of the first film , a new blade runner , lapd officer k , unearths a long - buried secret that has the potential to plunge what ' s left of society into chaos . k ' s discovery leads him on a quest to find rick deckard , a former lapd blade runner who has been missing for 30 years .\nstill , the film has its sporadic pleasures , mostly provided by bella , who effectively conveys destiny\u2019s enjoyment of her over - the - top murderous and sexy antics , and michael madsen , as lisa\u2019s supportive stepdad . the veteran actor delivers a nicely low - key performance , but you can\u2019t avoid the feeling that he\u2019s merely cashing a paycheck while waiting for quentin tarantino to write him another great role .\nthe artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor\u2019s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience\u2019s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .\navid s6 - the latest in high - end control surface technology and our most recent acquisition . the studio is configured as a state - of - the - art multi - purpose setup for 5 . 1 surround sound film mixing , music production and mastering , housing some of the best hardware and software that money can buy . this facility is one of the favourites among our senior bachelor of audio students who often spend hours in the studio perfecting their craft .\naround 1900 technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public ; it also had captured a place of its own among the artistic processes . for the study of this standard nothing is more revealing than the nature of the repercussions that these two different manifestations \u2013 the reproduction of works of art and the art of the film \u2013 have had on art in its traditional form .\nas reported by jurassic outpost , nbcuniversal purchased three new web domains on dec . 15 , 2016 . all three domains offer subtle hints at the premise of jurassic world 2 with their names alone : urltoken ( and . org ) , and islanublarrescuemission . com . the former strongly alludes to the presence of some form of \u201cdinosaurs\u2019 rights\u201d group as part of the film , while the latter is a reference to isla nublar , the home of the theme parks depicted in both jurassic world and the original jurassic park .\nan outburst of some kind is missed , then , but chiha\u2019s constraint is appropriate to the metaphysical straitjacket this fiercely intelligent woman feels herself to be in , and to her somewhat mute nephew . a deliberate deceleration of pace is carried over even into the black - hole nightclub we repeatedly revisit , where the broiling sea of dancers is mesmerically slowed - down . the pain of the film\u2019s emotional revelations and disappointments is never absent , however , most clearly expressed in the muted desperation of nadia\u2019s fellow residents at an alpine sanatorium .\nit\u2019s quite forgivable , therefore , to hope for a dalle explosion \u2013 it\u2019s part of her stardom \u2013 but chiha\u2019s tone is set by the slightly melancholy , night - time riverside campfire . expression of emotion is subtle and deliberate , the film\u2019s rhythm an almost narcotized blur . episodes repeat themselves in a steady accretion of character , as pierre and nadia walk around paris a lot . for all the frequent moments of apparent inaction , however , the characters are never doing nothing . both dalle and isa\u00efe sultan amply inhabit these moments when chiha allows them ( not so ) simply to be .\nthe shooting of a film , especially of a sound film , affords a spectacle unimaginable anywhere at any time before this . it presents a process in which it is impossible to assign to a spectator a viewpoint which would exclude from the actual scene such extraneous accessories as camera equipment , lighting machinery , staff assistants , etc . \u2013 unless his eye were on a line parallel with the lens . this circumstance , more than any other , renders superficial and insignificant any possible similarity between a scene in the studio and one on the stage . in the theater one is well aware of the place from which the play cannot immediately be detected as illusionary . there is no such place for the movie scene that is being shot . its illusionary nature is that of the second degree , the result of cutting . that is to say , in the studio the mechanical equipment has penetrated so deeply into reality that its pure aspect freed from the foreign substance of equipment is the result of a special procedure , namely , the shooting by the specially adjusted camera and the mounting of the shot together with other similar ones . the equipment - free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice ; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology .\nthe question remains whether it provides a platform for the analysis of the film . a closer look is needed here . distraction and concentration form polar opposites which may be stated as follows : a man who concentrates before a work of art is absorbed by it . he enters into this work of art the way legend tells of the chinese painter when he viewed his finished painting . in contrast , the distracted mass absorbs the work of art . this is most obvious with regard to buildings . architecture has always represented the prototype of a work of art the reception of which is consummated by a collectivity in a state of distraction . the laws of its reception are most instructive .\nmagician and surgeon compare to painter and cameraman . the painter maintains in his work a natural distance from reality , the cameraman penetrates deeply into its web . there is a tremendous difference between the pictures they obtain . that of the painter is a total one , that of the cameraman consists of multiple fragments which are assembled under a new law . thus , for contemporary man the representation of reality by the film is incomparably more significant than that of the painter , since it offers , precisely because of the thoroughgoing permeation of reality with mechanical equipment , an aspect of reality which is free of all equipment . and that is what one is entitled to ask from a work of art .\none of the foremost tasks of art has always been the creation of a demand which could be fully satisfied only later . the history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard , that is to say , in a new art form . the extravagances and crudities of art which thus appear , particularly in the so - called decadent epochs , actually arise from the nucleus of its richest historical energies . in recent years , such barbarisms were abundant in dadaism . it is only now that its impulse becomes discernible : dadaism attempted to create by pictorial \u2013 and literary \u2013 means the effects which the public today seeks in the film .\nnadia\u2019s relationship with pierre is therefore made obscure and complex . furthermore , she professes a fundamental mistrust of words , and her sometimes - contorted forms of communication are symptomatic of a turning in on oneself , a somewhat frightened self - isolation . pierre meanwhile becomes his own man as it were , taking center stage in his life and in the nightclub , in a sequence that drifts charmingly away from reality . other sequences are piqued by the strange wanderings of background extras , and a dark fairytale notion of being lost in the woods builds as the film\u2019s central metaphor . chiha is unafraid to sink his actors into a soft , dusky murk of underlighting , and the steady understatement builds to a climax of unexpected , sinister cruelty , and literal obscurity . quiet , careful , and rather beguiling .\nwith the different methods of technical reproduction of a work of art , its fitness for exhibition increased to such an extent that the quantitative shift between its two poles turned into a qualitative transformation of its nature . this is comparable to the situation of the work of art in prehistoric times when , by the absolute emphasis on its cult value , it was , first and foremost , an instrument of magic . only later did it come to be recognized as a work of art . in the same way today , by the absolute emphasis on its exhibition value the work of art becomes a creation with entirely new functions , among which the one we are conscious of , the artistic function , later may be recognized as incidental . this much is certain : today photography and the film are the most serviceable exemplifications of this new function .\nit is inherent in the technique of the film as well as that of sports that everybody who witnesses its accomplishments is somewhat of an expert . this is obvious to anyone listening to a group of newspaper boys leaning on their bicycles and discussing the outcome of a bicycle race . it is not for nothing that newspaper publishers arrange races for their delivery boys . these arouse great interest among the participants , for the victor has an opportunity to rise from delivery boy to professional racer . similarly , the newsreel offers everyone the opportunity to rise from passer - by to movie extra . in this way any man might even find himself part of a work of art , as witness vertov\u2019s three songs about lenin or ivens\u2019 borinage . any man today can lay claim to being filmed . this claim can best be elucidated by a comparative look at the historical situation of contemporary literature .\nas a mathematician , the beauty of order guides nadia\u2019s life , and its absence frightens her . but the rigidity she seeks in the world is belied by a personal life that is anything but stable . her persistent drinking , at first limited to evenings , turns out to be destructive alcoholism , which pierre comes to understand , then pity , then revile . her musings begin to sound like drunken rants in the light of her uncontrollable and unattractive addiction , and pierre pushes away , accepting the long ignored attention of his peers and embarking on a surprising , love affair with a man , which he neither trumpets nor conceals . however , his turn of heart from love to contempt for his beloved aunt is quick and exaggerated . it leads to a cruel and unexpected ending , which gives the film its first and last infusion of plot - driven drama , but it doesn\u2019t feel warranted against the monotonous landscape of everything that came before it .\nby close - ups of the things around us , by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects , by exploring common place milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera , the film , on the one hand , extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives ; on the other hand , it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action . our taverns and our metropolitan streets , our offices and furnished rooms , our railroad stations and our factories appeared to have us locked up hopelessly . then came the film and burst this prison - world asunder by the dynamite of the tenth of a second , so that now , in the midst of its far - flung ruins and debris , we calmly and adventurously go traveling . with the close - up , space expands ; with slow motion , movement is extended . the enlargement of a snapshot does not simply render more precise what in any case was visible , though unclear : it reveals entirely new structural formations of the subject . so , too , slow motion not only presents familiar qualities of movement but reveals in them entirely unknown ones \u201cwhich , far from looking like retarded rapid movements , give the effect of singularly gliding , floating , supernatural motions . \u201d evidently a different nature opens itself to the camera than opens to the naked eye \u2013 if only because an unconsciously penetrated space is substituted for a space consciously explored by man . even if one has a general knowledge of the way people walk , one knows nothing of a person\u2019s posture during the fractional second of a stride . the act of reaching for a lighter or a spoon is familiar routine , yet we hardly know what really goes on between hand and metal , not to mention how this fluctuates with our moods . here the camera intervenes with the resources of its lowerings and liftings , its interruptions and isolations , it extensions and accelerations , its enlargements and reductions . the camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses .\npainting simply is in no position to present an object for simultaneous collective experience , as it was possible for architecture at all times , for the epic poem in the past , and for the movie today . although this circumstance in itself should not lead one to conclusions about the social role of painting , it does constitute a serious threat as soon as painting , under special conditions and , as it were , against its nature , is confronted directly by the masses . in the churches and monasteries of the middle ages and at the princely courts up to the end of the eighteenth century , a collective reception of paintings did not occur simultaneously , but by graduated and hierarchized mediation . the change that has come about is an expression of the particular conflict in which painting was implicated by the mechanical reproducibility of paintings . although paintings began to be publicly exhibited in galleries and salons , there was no way for the masses to organize and control themselves in their reception . thus the same public which responds in a progressive manner toward a grotesque film is bound to respond in a reactionary manner to surrealism .\nmechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art . the reactionary attitude toward a picasso painting changes into the progressive reaction toward a chaplin movie . the progressive reaction is characterized by the direct , intimate fusion of visual and emotional enjoyment with the orientation of the expert . such fusion is of great social significance . the greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form , the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public . the conventional is uncritically enjoyed , and the truly new is criticized with aversion . with regard to the screen , the critical and the receptive attitudes of the public coincide . the decisive reason for this is that individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response they are about to produce , and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film . the moment these responses become manifest they control each other . again , the comparison with painting is fruitful . a painting has always had an excellent chance to be viewed by one person or by a few . the simultaneous contemplation of paintings by a large public , such as developed in the nineteenth century , is an early symptom of the crisis of painting , a crisis which was by no means occasioned exclusively by photography but rather in a relatively independent manner by the appeal of art works to the masses .\nwritten & directed by patric chiha produced by charlotte vincent & aurora films

plotted narrative .\ni did not know that the first novel by natasha walter , was seminal non - fiction the new feminism and living dolls . a quiet life is natasha walter ' s first novel that is a beautiful work of fiction . the story is about laura leverett since the disappearance of her husband in 1951 , laura has been living in limbo with her daughter in geneva . people see her as a very charming young lady , but nobody guesses that secret she is carrying . laura is a wife , mother and spy . i find it fascinating to read what\na chronicle of the 1969 bombing at a major national bank in milan and its aftermath .\nwhen we compare ourselves to others , we set ourselves up to add \u201cmore\u201d into our life . more money , more cars , more houses , and more stuff . we fall victim to the old adage of \u201ckeeping up with the joneses\u201d which prevents us from living the life we really want to live .\nyou ' d expect this kind of witty dialogue in a woody allen film about condescending new york intellectuals . but ' a quiet passion ' , about 19th century american poet emily dickinson , is also full of it . clearly , she used her talent not only to write poetry , but also to engage in spirited conversation .\nwe live in a world where busyness is king . we\u2019re so busy glorifying how busy we are , we miss out on experiencing the moments that matter . and while we\u2019re so busy making a living , we forget to make life\u2014which is quite tragic .\nif you are acquainted with emily dickinson ' s work , this film gives an interesting insight into her life and her poetry . if you ' re not , this film is a great introduction to it .\na fantastic book -

dimensional main protagonist - for example we are not given any insight into why she became attracted to communism in the first place - but as it went on , it developed into a picture of what living a double life does to your soul and to every relationship you make . even though we see the characters from the outside only , we can feel the tension at particularly tricky moments , and feel the edginess of the class barriers . it is a\nlaura\u2019s muted existence of evasion and dissimulation , in which she is fatally underestimated as a frivolous flirt by her husband\u2019s friends , was inspired by that of donald maclean\u2019s wife melinda marling , \u201cthe communist in the schiaparelli coat\u201d . walter\u2019s achievement is to bring espionage brilliantly into service as a metaphor for more routine secrets a woman has historically had to conceal , from menstruation to frustration , rage to alienation from the disfiguring role models we are offered . its indelible image \u2013 a woman whose calmly conformist femininity conceals shocking subversion \u2013 leaves us wondering about our own mothers and grandmothers , and what went on beneath the surface of their quiet lives . it also confirms walter as a writer who clearly appreciates the joys and purpose of fiction as distinct from polemic , and makes good use of both .\nwhat ' s the name o . . . : solved . adult fiction , spy novel . a young american woman visits relatives in england . on ship across the ocean she becomes friends with a communist . ends up meeting and falling in love with a man she learns is a spy . spoiler ahead . [ s ]\nthe plot is good but the story sometimes struggles at a slow pace . i personally would have liked a little more action and misadventure . the pace of the book becomes steady in the later part , even slightly picking up in the end . the author\u2019s narrations and descriptions easily bring to life the times of the early 20 th century england . the book does well to start with building the characters and the setting before the murder is introduced . the mystery quotient is maintained throughout though i will refrain myself from calling it a mystery / thriller in the strict sense . the climax too is satisfying and the book leaves the reader with a feeling of content on having read a decent read .\nto unravel the journey that has brought her heroine to this crossroads walter replays her life from the moment the young laura leverett leaves new york for london on the eve of the second world war . with her father an american reprobate and her mother of genteel english stock , she is already keenly aware of inhabiting the margins . the ocean liner taking her to her new life among strangers offers her the microcosm of a world in transit in which she may find her place . in prospect are physical desire for a raffish young journalist and its concomitant shame , and her uneasy longing for the glamour of first class , and the certainty of belonging . she also experiences the first stirrings of political awareness when she encounters a young communist , florence blake , on her way to right the world\u2019s wrongs in europe .\n\u2018a writer of game - changing skill and sensitivity . few novelists can combine serious feminism with romance and adventure and make it work \u2026 a literary page - turner\u2019 the times\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\ni found this novel to be a definite page - turner . the characters were interesting , the action engrossing . there were many things i liked about it : one , the author tells the story without judgment or taking sides ;

great epics to the world . one is the ramayana and the other mahabaratha . the bhagavad gita which is seen as an equivalent to the bible and the koran is part of the great epic mahabaratha . poems in this section have been drawn from the characters and events of this epic .\nthe mahabaratha has countless characters , stories and sub stories , however the main story revolves around two feuding cousins : the kauravas and the pandavas . they are both of royal heritage fighting for the throne . the kauravas stand for all that is evil in men and the five pandava brothers are seen as the righteous . the kauravas cheat the reigning pandavas through a fraudulent game of dice . after many events they finally confront each other in the battle called the kurukshetra war . in the end the pandavas win the battle . it is during the kurukshetra war , that the great song : bhagavad gita is given by the lord .\ndraupadi is another important character in mahabaratha . wife of all the five pandavas , she is the one singled out to be humiliated by the kaurava princes .\nconspiring against the pandavas , the kauravas with the help of their wicked uncle shakuni , challenge the eldest of the pandava prince yudhistra to the game of dice .\ndeceived by the kauravas , yudishtra wagers his kingdom , and looses it . goaded to wager his brothers he proceeds to do so , and looses them as well .\nthe kauravas promise to give everything back to him if he wagers draupadi and wins . in desperation , yudishtra wagers draupadi , but loses her too . the kauravas then set out to humiliate the pandavas through draupadi .\ndragging her from her inner quarters , the eldest of the kaurava princes , duryodhana orders his brother dushasana to strip draupadi off her sari declaring that since even the clothes she wears is theirs now , they are free to do so .\nthe shameful stripping begins and all of draupadi ' s pleas to the elders present in the court hall are of no avail .\nmiraculously , even as her sari is stripped off , more appears constantly covering her . thus she is saved by the great lord .\nthe bhagavad gita ( the song of the celestial one ) is to the hindus what the bible is to the christians .\nthe great war of kurukshetra occurs between cousins kauravas and pandavas who are fighting to inherit a kingdom . while the five pandava brothers are the rightful heirs to the throne , the kauravas , their cousins try many unfair methods to wrest the throne from them .\nfinally , the two groups of cousins , face each other in war . the pandavas have their supporters , while the kauravas , have their grandfather and uncles support them , even though they are unwilling to side against the unrighteous kauravas .\narjuna , the third pandava brother is the most valiant of all brothers . when his chariot faces that of his grandfather , uncles and cousins in the battlefield , righteous arjuna suddenly loses his will to fight . he knows , he will have to have to kill his relatives to win the war .\nglossary : gandiva is the name of his bow . devadatta is the conch he uses for his battle cry .\nhe makes arjuna understand that life is an illusion and he is only an instrument of god .\npondering on why it was that the great truth was given to arjuna , and none of the others in the mahabaratha , it occurred to me that it is because , arjuna , surrenders completely to god .\nhe does not possess great strength like his brother bheema nor does he live a life of complete righteousness like yudhistara . he in fact , disguises himself as a woman during the one year of ajnathavasa ( or living in anonymity ) that is one of the conditions imposed on the pandava brothers by their cousin dhuryodhana .\nearlier in his life , arjuna , wins draupadi as his wife through his skills of archery . he returns home with her and tells his mother , \u201c look what i have brought for you\u201d . his mother , without turning around to see what it is , asks arjuna to share it equally with his brothers . bound by the word of his mother , draupadi becomes the wife of the five pandava brothers .\nshe lives as a wife of each brother for a year and the brothers agree that none of the others can disturb them when they are with her . if any of the brothers does intrude on their privacy , he should go away on a sabbatical for a year .\nit is the great field of kurukshetra , where the two warring cousins are getting ready to face each other in the battlefield . the camps are silent as the warriors retire in anticipation of the war that will begin the next day .\nsitting outside his tent , set a little apart from the royal tents , is karna . all he knows is that he was brought up as a potters son , but anointed a king of small kingdom by the kaurva prince duryodhana , who admired his skill at an archery competition .\nas his life flashes by , he remembers that despite being a potters son , he always had this strong desire to fight and learn weaponry . he remembers the tragic instances when he was cursed twice by his own teachers , when they found that he was not of the warrior clan , and had deceived them in order to learn the skills of archery .\nkarna is by far , one of the most tragic figures in the mahabaratha . at this point in time , he does not know that he is born to kunti , mother of the pandavas . he was abandoned at birth .\nthe story goes that kunti was a young girl when her father asked her to tend to a sage who was residing at the palace . pleased with kunti\u2019s devotion , the sage teaches her a mantra , that when recited with any personality of god , would bring that god to her presence .\nlittle understanding the meaning behind this mantra , kunti looks at the sun and enamored by his beauty , chants the mantra . the sun materializes himself in front of her and says that now that she has invoked him , he is bound by the mantra to give her a son .\nkunti is aghast , since she is not yet married . but , the events take their course and she is blessed with a beautiful son who is born with gold earrings and a gold armor attached to his body .\nunable to keep him because of her unmarried status , she puts him in a basket and floats him in the river . he is found by a childless potter who brings him up as his own son .\nkarna , true to his royal blood , is always interested in archery . however , he accrues many curses in his life , owing to his identity as a potters son . he however , excels in archery is equal or greater than arjuna .\non this day , before the war , kunti is worried for the safety of her five other legitimate sons \u2013 the pandavas . she by now knows the true identity of karna , owing to birth marks that she saw in the archery competition .\ntonight , she approaches karna and reveals that she is his mother and asks him not to kill his brothers in the battlefield . karna , who has taken a vow that he will never break his word , agrees to spare his brothers , knowing full well that this promise may well mean his own death . in this poem , i attempt to capture this scene .\nmany are the great heros who die in the battlefield of kurukshetra . the chakravyuha ( wheel shaped formation ) is an army formation used by the kauravas in the kurukshetra war .\nthe story goes that arjuna was explaining the method of entry into the vyuha to his wife subadhra who was pregnant with abhimanyu . abhimanyu acquires the knowledge of breaking into the vyuha as his father narrates it , while still inside his mother\u2019s womb .\nvaliantly abhimanyu enters the vyuha . the formation closes behind him , preventing the other pandava warriors from following him . abhimanyu goes to the center of the vyuha where he is trapped .\nsurrounded by the elder warriors of the kaurava clan , abhimanyu bravely fights alone . he loses his weapons one by one , and finally in desperation , uses the wheels of his chariot as a shield to fight off the warriors . he is finally killed by the elders of the kauvara army .\nwe too in our daily lives , weave our own vyuhas and often get entrapped in them , not finding a way out . no one can fail to experience the makings of our own karma , good or bad .\nthe great kuru clan that the great epic mahabaratha begins with king santanu . the king meets the divine maiden ganga and she gives birth to devaratha . owing to a broken promise , ganga takes devaratha away and brings him up , but returns him to his father in his youth .\nthe king is very happy to see the now perfect youth \u2013 who has been raised to be his successor . the youth is loved by the citizens , who look forward to his reign . however , once king santanu goes hunting and falls in love with satyavati , a daughter of a fisherman . she refuses to marry the king unless he promises her that her children will become the heirs to this throne . the king returns in dejection to the palace .\nyoung devaratha finds out the cause of his fathers despondency and rides out to meet satyavathi . he promises her that he would give up his right to the kingdom and begs her to marry his father . satyavathi is not satisfied . she says , \u201c i trust you , but what if you get married and have children and your children lay claim to the throne ? \u201d . young devaratha , then takes a terrible oath . he vows never to marry and remain celibate , so that his promise that her children will ascend the throne .\nfor , forever , i swear i will my celibacy maintain ! \u201d , he said .\nanother chapter from the mahabaratha talks about parikshit , the son of abhimanyu and uttara .\nthe kurukshetra war comes to an end , but aswatthama , a warrior from the kaurava army sends bhramastra , the ultimate weapon of destruction instructing it to kill all the pandavas .\nwhen he is told that it is the not a righteous thing to do since the war is already over , ashwathama regrets having sent this terrible weapon .\nhe admits that he does not have any power over it , once it is sent to destruct , but he could amend his instructions to it . by aiming it at abhimanyu\u2019s son , the only remaining heir to the pandava lineage , his desire to annihilate the pandavas will still be fulfilled .\narjuna is punished because he enters the inner chambers of yudhistra and draupadi and is banished for a year .\ninspiration for these poems came from life\u2019s experiences . as i pondered on these situations , i found that the rich indian mythology seemed to have parallels to situations in stories that had hitherto had had only surface value to me .\nas the words flowed , the metaphysical meaning behind the symbols and stories of india became apparent . every one of them unfailingly led to the one answer to all questions - god .\nand so the words flowed , sometimes in the dead of the night , on the way to work , or while riding the bus . literary efforts were not required , all i had to do was put pen to paper and let the outpourings of my mind form themselves into verses . not one of these poems took more than 10 minutes of my time .\ni must admit that most of these poems make better sense when you understand the events or the characters that form the central theme of each poem . to assist western readers who may be unfamiliar with indian mythology , i have included short introductions on these themes .\nin my years in the united states , i have generally moved to more general themes of spirituality , perhaps owing to my exposure to a world that is so different to me . still , everything i write about is concerned with the deeper meaning of life - that i continue to explore and unravel , through the great lessons only life on this earth plane can teach us .\nover the years , the poems have given me much relief and provided meaning to life\u2019s varied situations . it is my sincere hope that in some way , these poems will touch you too .\ndedicated to my husband arthur m . lopez , who fulfilled all my earthly wishes , for his love and kindness and my precious daughter sahana ashok nayak , who has been the greatest joy of my life ! she has been my pole star - a courageous , strong and beautiful person . . . in homage to my guru parmahamsa yogananda , and deepest respect for my father k . m . gajaraj , who taught me the ideals of life and eased me into a spiritual life and my mother vijayalaxmi for her unconditional love .\nmy pen name sadhvi , in sanskrit , it means a female renunciate . in life i have never really been a sadhvi , but in my heart and soul , i have always strived to be one .\nin practical life , i was a journalist in india for the longest time . i am now here in the united states , more by destiny than by choice .\na master\u2019s in mass communication and journalism has helped my writing skills . the poetry however was born with me . i used to compose verses as a child and continued through my teenage years . those were poems of this world . but , it was only later in my life that i turned towards god and life suddenly had more meaning . these poems are the result of that realization .\ncurrently , i live in clovis , a city in california that i had never seen or heard of before i came here . destiny has brought me to this place , as i await the fulfillment of my father\u2019s prophecy that i am here for a purpose . whether it is a personal purpose , or a much larger one , i do not know . i wait in anticipation for that while , i spend my days , experiencing life and doing what i enjoy most - writing .\ncopyright . . . karma ! . simple theme . theme images

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]\nfrom his debut in bharagavinilayam in 1964 , to kuttyedathi in 1971 , this was one of the surprisingly small - but - sturdy roles that came his way before the \u2018commercial demands\u2019 of the mainstream malayalam productions took over and carried him in a different direction . kuttishankaran is the high - caste nimcompoop who has his eyes on kuttyedathi but is also mortally scared to solicit her for sexual favors ( as had been wont in those days from what i have gathered \u2013 you are high - caste , and hence have power and any village girl is for you for the asking ) . there is the memorable scene where kuttishankaran goes a little too far with his \u2018teasing\u2019 kuttyedathi who incidentally is perched atop the mango tree , stealing a bunch , when she comes down , warms up to him , and gives a resounding one on his cheek !\ndear gopalji , when it comes to \u2018quality\u2019 of old films available , i have set my expectations at zero , so that anything above that is an added bonus for me \ud83d\ude42 i am in the process of organising and getting a high -

turvy . the enigmatic young man becomes the bone of contention between the sisters in not - so - expressed words but in moments that make up for them . he turns out out to be one who doesn\u2019t care beyond moments of pleasure , leading to one of the most wonderful moments in the movie between the sisters .\nmeanwhile janu gets \u2018very , very close\u2019 with the new neighbor but keeps it a secret from everyone , including kuttyedathi . the latter , meanwhile chances upon them , but janu is defiant and unrepentant and even berates her for her act . it acts as a catalyst in her scheme of things to \u2018prove herself\u2019 , also realising for the first time that appunni would be the only refuge in her turbulent life . she would do the unthinkable very soon , shocking the village , as she sets herself in the direction of appunni\u2019s hut on the top of the hill . janu , meanwhile is devastated as her paramour advises her to agree to the pending marriage proposal as he wouldn\u2019t be able to marry her for personal reasons . and the evening bears witness to shocking events , culminating with the final act at early dawn . for what transpired , you would have to watch the movie .\ndear bgs , great to hear from a true -

surgery on a drowsy afternoon . a blood bath , horrible pain and a prominent scar are the favorable results of the surgery . the last last entourage that comes in to meet kuttyedathi , on seeing janu wants the proposal to be finalised with her as the bride and returns . the family is thrown in a quandary . you just cannot marry away the younger one with the elder one staying bachelor ! it was just not right .\nif you take the 5 best roles ever portrayed on screen by sp pillai , i would include this with absolute confidence . the thespian dazzles as the sad , forlorn , duty bound by birth and pauper beyond description , it was a very difficult proposition to successfully translate on screen . but sp pillai did a beautiful job . one moment he is the matriarchal power center of the family , getting prospective grooms for kuttyedathi , managing the proceedings , and at the end begs when it time to leave , literally begs for a rupee from his sister to get back to his place ! one of the few instances where sp pillai got an opportunity to show you the fine actor that lay behind that \u2018industrial comedy\u2019 clown - face . there was also this delightful interplay between sp pillai and kuthiravattam pappu ( the meeting of two legends onscreen ) , where the former being swindled once of his cash by the latter , employs the same modus operandi to give it back to him a hundred fold \u2013 the cowdung routine . one of the rare instances where mt\u2019s sense of humor shines through , mischievously .\nshe has a daily reminder to gauge providence\u2019s generosity in feminine beauty , in the form of her younger sister janu ( jayabharathy in a brilliant role ) at home , who takes kuttyedathi for granted in the domestic responsibilities { \u201chey , she knows to do it , so let her do it \u2013 goes janu\u2019s refrain } . her best friend is vasu ( master sathyajith ) , her young cousin who is her number one fan , conscience keeper , lieutenant , friend and brother - in - arms in every unorthodox \u2018mission\u2019 undertaken between them . being the eldest of the two , its kuttyedethi who has to be married off first in the traditional social scheme of things and their maternal uncle , ( sp pillai in a moving , tragi - comic role ) who gets the suitors from across the countryside to the house for the prospective groom to meet her so that a possible alliance could be worked on . but , every one of them end up liking the younger janu who always makes it a point to be \u2018seen\u2019 by them , mostly as a means of re -

like figment of malabar\u2019s folklore about a partly mythic and partly real magician called kummatty . kummatty travels from place to place and entertains children with dancing , singing and performing magic . at one such performance at a village , kummatty starts to mingle with and weave a spell of carefree abandon around the children of the village . he turns a group of children into animals . but one boy , who was changed into a dog , is chased away and misses the moment kummatty changed the children back to their human form . the dog - boy has to wait a year until kummatty returns to the village to get back his human form .\nthe film ' s intense engagement with landscape is such that all its myths and realities , its people and their intrinsic music appear materially sprung from those vast , expansive spaces . there is simply nothing like it .\nincorporating large measures of animism cut with malabar village folk tales and south indian scripture , govindan aravindam has created an alternate world of rural india . kummatty the seer , magician , spell - weaver , bogeyman arrives and camps under a huge tree . in time he becomes attractive to a country village ' s children and soon leads them in dulcet summer days of song and dance through the fields , teaching something akin to a giddy mindfulness of what nature offers both in joy and sorrow . it ' s a fantasy which includes infectious singing ( music by m . g . radhakrishnan and kavalam narayana panicker ) that any culture can understand in its marrow . i ' ve read that govindan aravindam , the bogeyman ' s director and master of malayali film , considered this his favorite of the many titles he created . a malayalam classic .\nparallel cinema , goes deep into pre - industrial folk culture . grown - ups work , children play , a landscape exists , magic happens .\nit ' s only funny until someone gets turned into a dog or it ' s not nice to fool mother nature .\naravindan is an absolute genius . he can devastate you while feeding you sweets .\nwhat a lovely little film this turned out to be ! seeped in the rustic goodness of a malayali village and the charmed music from god ' s own country , this mythical tale was a breath of fresh air . dotted with songs that will have you humming along , the film follows a gang of children and their fate when an old man turns up in their village , and is labelled as kummatty , or the bogeyman .\nthe film stays honest to its setting - somehow managing to weave the peace and simplicity of the village into its characters , into its dialogue , and into its fluid song sequences . the relationship between the young and the old is beautifully captured , and when the film comes a\u2026\nan indian movie which was just as flawless and masterfully directed as ridley scott ' s alien , alfred hitchcock ' s psycho and stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey . from the breathtaking cinematography , to the masterful editing , to the exceptional performances , writing and characterization , every technical aspect of the movie was of top notch quality . the whole story was told through visual storytelling . there wasn ' t a single exposition scene in the movie . nothing was dumbed down for the viewers . hence its especially a must watch for those who hate spoon feeding . govindan aravindam is a true master and kummatty ( the bogeyman ) is his masterpiece .\ni have listened to and liked the malayalam folk song ' karukare karmugil ' earlier . this movie made that song much more memorable .\nkummatty is a children ' s musical in one sense , but a fair assessment would be it is a supernatural story . how such a film can be filled with realistic details of a small town and its people in kerala is aravindan ' s art .\none minor flaw in this beautiful movie , which i found hard to reconcile with the rest of the movie , is that there is no lip sync for the songs of the kids , and that these songs were over prolonged periods of the day .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nchloe patton , megan salmon ferrari , mia boardman , and naomi konickova are bringing the babies and the english accents to the teen mom franchise with a uk version of the show that mtv is referring to as teen mum . get to know the new girls and their babies .\nnaomi has a little girl named kyanna , who she calls kya . this girl became a mother at 17 and she works as a makeup artist . she\u2019s a bit reserved and a proud feminist , who wants to succeed and not fall prey to teen mom statistics . naomi konickova said that when she and her baby daddy raphael poitou revealed to her mother that she was pregnant , her mom took off her shoe and hit them both with it . the show has already aired in the uk and in gearing up for a second season , konickova apparently decided to take a step back from the spotlight , telling mtv uk :\ni wanted to take a break from teen mom uk series two because i really feel like i need to focus on my career and really try to build a future for kyanna \u2026 i would so come back for another series , i\u2019d love to . i\u2019ve got so much of my life to share and you definitely haven\u2019t seen the last of me .\nmegan has a baby named mckenzie and she became a parent at age 17 , along with her baby\u2019s father dylan . this season on the show , the young mum has a lot on her plate and is filled with emotions . when she became pregnant , she became more independent and decided to move into a caravan with her new baby . but , motherhood isn\u2019t the only issue she faces on the show . in a clip from the show , megan asks her ex dylan how he could sleep with her best friend and then ask her to marry her ? in november 2016 , the sun reported that megan was pregnant with her second child and the father is believed to be ex dylan . megan\u2019s mother sonia has weighed in on her daughter\u2019s lifestyle and said that :\nshe\u2019s on benefits , and that is not something i never wanted for her . all this breaks my heart . i wanted better for her .\nmia is a mother -

distributed the green slime grew out of a collaboration between toei and a little - remembered us production company called ram ; that much is generally known . but what isn\u00edt reported as widely is that ram appears to have drawn a substantial proportion of its funding from italy , and if you know what to look for , it isn\u00edt hard to spot that influence on the film . most visibly , the green slime features a notable italian b - movie glamour girl in a major role , but perhaps more importantly , its basic story was devised by ivan reiner , who had earlier contributed to the screenplays of antonio margheriti\u00eds notoriously loopy space station gamma 1 tetralogy ( the wild , wild planet , war of the planets , planet on the prowl , and the snow devils ) . a number of plot points in the green slime will be so familiar to fans of the gamma 1 films that they might be tempted to interpret this movie as being set in the same fictional world . in any case , with reiner doing the plotting and kinji fukasaku in the director\u00eds chair , is it any wonder that the green slime wound up being one of the most deeply bizarre sci - fi films of the 1960\u00eds ?\ngreen slimes are more likely to spawn in place of other enemies when the player is within 200 blocks of the world ' s spawn point . this does not occur in\ndirecting duties were handed to kinji fukasaku , who was in the process of making a name for himself at toei , and had just had a bona - fide hit with the edogawa rampo - inspired black lizard ( 1968 ) whilst moonlighting for shochiku . indeed , a campy sci - fi romp like the green slime may seem a bizarre choice of project for those who are only familiar with fukasaku ' s infamous battle royale ( 2000 ) or his grisly , criminal - centric jitsuroku ( true account ) films that exploded in popularity during the 1970s . nevertheless , his involvement in the green slime ' caused fukasaku considerable embarrassment in later years ' [ 3 ] .\nafter destroying a giant asteroid heading towards earth , a group of scientists unknowingly bring back a strange green substance that soon mutates into a monster .\nlisa is checking her considerably increased patients ( most professional stethoscope work . really . ) when rankin wanders in . he pauses to ask one patient\nhow\u0092s the hand ?\n( hilariously , he responds to the injured guy\u0092s helpless gesture by raising that damn thumb again !\nhey , look what i can do !\n) then tells lisa that the station has been completely quarantined , so that she will not be able to send the badly injured to earth for treatment . rankin and elliott devise a plan to lure the slime guys into a storage room , where they can be confined . the lights are shut off all over the station , and the lights on a\npower beam search car\nused as bait . but the slime guys have ideas of their own , and burst in on lisa\u0092s patients ( who are really having a bad day ! ) . more screaming and bed pushing follows . lisa invokes her\nheroine\u0092s death battle exemption\n, as she is clearly whacked across the head with a tentacle , but not electrocuted . rankin orders all lights doused , gets the attention of one of the slime guys by chucking a large flashlight at it ( he just loves chucking things ) , then uses another one to draw the slime guys after him . this manoeuvre traps him between two slime guys , but duck - roll - somersault gets him out of it . lisa evacuates her patients and shuts an airlock between them and the slime guys . meanwhile , rankin is surrounded by slime guys , but elliott saves him by drawing them to him . the rest of the procedure goes to plan and the slime guys are trapped . but just as rankin is going from square - jaw - serious to smug - bastard - grin , they hear a noise . oops ! guess you forgot about the slime guy in the isolation ward , hey , big shot ?\nrankin and a small team fly out to the asteroid with a bomb and drilling equipment . they succeed in destroying it , but one of the team unknowingly brings back a sample of slimy residue that they encountered on the asteroid surface in abundance . attaching itself surreptitiously to the crew member ' s space suit , the slime survives decontamination and begins to grow , evolving into a green , diminutive , one - eyed teratoid with long , electrified tentacles . they begin to multiply and run amok on the station , creating a power - struggle between rankin and elliott . the former , though retired , still has the instinct to lead , whereas the latter , whilst technically in command , doesn ' t have the mettle to resolve the crisis ( in the eyes of rankin at least ) . so rankin , elliott and benson must ignore their personal tensions and work together in rescuing gamma three from the sentient green slime .\nhi , i have a philips perfectcare aqua steam iron , which is generally very good . however , it has developed green slime in the water reservoir which is coming out on clothes as i iron them . i can ' t find the instruction manual , to find out what to do . does anyone have any ideas on how to sort it out please ?\nin the infirmary , dr lisa is checking her patients ( hey , she must be a doctor \u0096 she\u0092s got a stethoscope ! ) when she hears a strange noise . next thing we know , slime guy\u0092s in the room ! much screaming and rushing around and waving of tentacles ensues . slime guy is shot , and bleeds copiously , before rankin can revoke the original\nshoot to kill\norder ( might have been a good idea to put that over the p . a . , hey , jack ? ) . rankin and elliott use the infirmary\u0092s beds \u0096 metal - framed beds , mind you \u0096 to keep slime guy at a safe distance while everyone else escapes the room . rankin takes off his metal helmet and chucks it at slime guy before doing something almost as irritating as his grin \u0096 a spectacular duck - roll - somersault to get himself out of harm\u0092s way . they trap slime guy in the isolation ward ( heh ! ) , and then halverson points out that the spilled blood is already growing . they lock it in the infirmary . rankin calls for the\nmonitor car\n. the monitor reveals that slime guy is busy healing itself \u0096 an ability that with its replicating blood means that slime guy may be impossible to kill . moreover \u0096 in a scene guaranteed to make any audience go\neeewww ! !\n\u0096 slime guy\u0092s blood has congealed into disgusting boogery stuff and is crawling all over the walls and \u0096 dum , dum , dahh \u0096 into the station\u0092s ducts .

i have got to get that song . . . .\nthe falling green goop was a defining characteristic of nickelodeon from the 80s onward . the first official sliming , as far as i can tell , comes from the first episode of you can ' t do that on television , which originally aired on cjoh - tv in ottawa in 1979 . during a skit where a kid is chained u\u200bp for detention in a dungeon , he ' s told not to pull on his shackles . when he does , a toilet flushes and the signature green slime that has become so ubiquitous with nickelodeon pours down on his head . it ' s a great gag that brought on two decades of slop .\n' tis true . one of broadway ' s better - looking leading men lurks in that hulking fat - suit , slathered down in green slime from dome to toe so that all that remains of james is his smile , teeth , eyes and eyebrows . happily , the first and the last are rather identifiable , if not trademarks , by now , and they give you something to go on .\nthe expedition to blow up flora is a success , but all does not go exactly according to plan . for one thing , the asteroid begins accelerating as it enters earth\u00eds gravity well , meaning that the timetable for the mission has to be stepped up as well , and the astronauts come very close to sharing in the destruction they visit upon the wayward space rock . but of greater importance , there turns out to be life on flora . wherever there is a concavity in the landscape , rankin , elliot , halvorsen , and the others encounter puddles of radiant green slime . the slime evidently consists of billions of microorganisms which possess some rudimentary sensory apparatus , and which somehow feed off of energy sources . for while the astronauts themselves remain unmolested by the slime , it slithers up to coat all of their mechanical and electronic equipment , and none of their devices will function after a few minutes\u00ed exposure to the substance . halvorsen collects a sample of the slime to bring back to gamma 3 , but rankin will have none of that . before he and his men re - embark aboard their ship for the trip home , rankin seizes halvorsen\u00eds sample jar and shatters it on the ground , refusing to countenance the idea of the scientist bringing any of that crud onto his space station . oh , wait\u00f3 it\u00eds elliot \u00eds space station , isn\u00edt it ?\ni constructed my dripper system following the guidelines in the\nmr green\nvideo series . unfortunately i wasn ' t able to find that 8 headed water diverter , but made due with some small air diverters instead .\ni watched this movie when i was about 8 or so . the first time my mother brother and i tried to watch it somebody had made a loop and kept playing\nthe green slime\nover and over for four hours . we finally saw it later and i guess my youth and the fact we waited so long to see it made it a fair movie . by todays standards it is pitiful by the standards of the time it came out it was a b - movie .\nin the end humanity is saved by crashing gamma 3 into earth ' s atmosphere , incinerating the green slime . thank goodness something stopped them besides throwing your laser rifle . the characters often unload at point blank range without effect . soon as they throw the weapon it goes right through the monster ' s eye . even if you don ' t like watching\nspacemen\nwearing white 1960 ' s police motorcycle helmets firing\nlaser guns\nat waddling masses of latex monsters you have to love the title song .\nwas a fun saturday matinee in its day but compared to contemporary films in the same genre , it looks more and more like a parody .\nthe green slime\nare clearly actors in monster suits - some of the goofiest you ' ll ever see - and the dialogue is consistently leaden with such cliched moments as the station ' s doctor ( ted gunther ) trying to save the slime from destruction :\ndon ' t kill it , it ' s a magnificent discovery !\nit also doesn ' t help that the film is burdened with a romantic triangle subplot - gamma iii nurse lisa ( paluzzi ) is torn between former boyfriend jack ( horton ) and current beau vince ( jaeckel ) - that continually brings the action to a grinding halt .\nbesides gangster movies , fukasaku also made science - fiction films of quality , such as gamma dai sango ( the green slime , 1968 ) and fukkatsu no hi ( virus , 1980 ) . he also filmed part of the massively tedious american war film tora ! tora ! tora ! ( 1970 ) , in which he shot the attack on pearl harbor seen from the japanese side \u2013 the most interesting part of the film . his works began to be shown in the us , and he became a hero to quentin tarantino and john woo .\nas you can ' t do that on television grew in popularity , the show became one of the first major purchases of nickelodeon . unsure of who their target audience was , nickelodeon ran syndicated episodes of the canadian show all the time . it was a huge hit that helped define the early days of the channel . as the series progressed , one thing was abundantly clear\u2014kids loved the slime .\ni waited and waited for this movie to come on television after weeks of ads in the 1970 ' s , and it did not disappoint . firstoff , the title is not true . there is no slime in this movie . the aliens have tentacles and are electric . the title infers a blob - like movie . wrong . it sorta reminded me of the space 1999 two - parter\ndragon ' s domain\n. lots of astronauts were tentacled by the\ngreen slime\naliens which had invaded their base . it had a very japanese b - movie feel to it . lots of action , but not very scary . many cheese scenes , but watching it with a light - attitude , it can be fun .\nof course , the green slime is not to be taken seriously and is arguably a camp classic waiting to be re - discovered . everything about the production is wantonly silly , not least the titular alien creatures which squeak and shriek like high - pitched , un - oiled door hinges , hobble about due to their short legs and flay their tentacle - arms wildly , electrocuting crew members unconvincingly . more often than not , they operate in plain sight and are not particularly menacing , especially when you consider that most areas of the space station are brightly lit ; looking flat and non - threatening . with better creature design , a bit more shadow in the sets and a more earnest execution , the green slime could have easily been a noteworthy progenitor to ridley scott ' s brooding sci - fi / horror alien ( 1979 ) . while there are certainly some plot similarities , their respective tones couldn ' t be further apart .\none green planet accepts advertising , sponsorship , affiliate links and other forms of compensation , which may or may not influence the advertising content , topics or articles written on this site . click here for more information .\nafter a perilous mission to a huge asteroid , a crew returns to its space station , unaware a bit of ooze from the asteroid clings to a crewman ' s uniform . the green goop grows - into murderous , tentacled monsters . and as station members fight to live , gunk from the monsters ' wounds turns into more monsters !

( well \u0096 actually , it\u0092s still pretty smug . )\nin its opening reels , the film also prefigures elements of michael bay ' s star - studded , disaster epic armageddon ( 1998 ) , which sees a mixed team of astronauts and deep - sea oil drillers sent to stop a comet that will collide with earth . using advanced drilling equipment , they plan on burying a nuclear weapon that will cause the comet to break away into two pieces that will avoid the planet . the green slime starts with this same basic scenario , except their drilling equipment doesn ' t look particularly advanced \u2013 a flimsy looking moon buggy with a large drill bit attached to a movable arm .\nwhen an asteroid is detected on a collision course with earth , with only hours left to prevent a catastrophe , the retiring head of space station gamma 3 ( see space stations ) , jack rankin ( horton ) , is recruited to lead an expedition to the asteroid to plant explosives there and destroy the asteroid before it strikes earth . while there , an astronaut picks up a piece of strange green slime found on the ground , and when he returns , insufficient decontamination allows the small blob of green slime to begin growing into a small army of one - eyed , tentacled monsters that are soon menacing the crew of the space station by electrocuting people and apparently feeding upon the station ' s energy sources . at first , new station commander vince elliott ( jaeckel ) , also the fianc\u00e9 of rankin ' s ex - girlfriend , dr lisa benson ( paluzzi ) , resents rankin ' s insistence upon destroying the creatures and wishes to preserve them for study ; but soon , everyone recognizes that these virulent monsters must be exterminated before they reach earth . now asserting his authority , rankin orders the evacuation and destruction of the space station , though these plans are complicated by monsters lurking outside the station . when other efforts to kill them prove insufficient , rankin decides to stay behind and fight them , vince chooses to join him , and vince is killed fighting the monsters . but rankin survives , ready to reconcile with benson , while the station falls into earth ' s atmosphere and burns up , destroying the monsters .\ngamma one producers ivan reiner and walter manley ( the man behind the u . s . iterations of the super giant films ) were keen to perpetuate this model by making the green slime as an unofficial fifth entry in the series . however , the only link it has to its italian predecessors is the name of the space station \u2013 changed slightly to gamma three \u2013 which features a similar design to the one seen in margheriti ' s films . a completely new cast was assembled , fronted by american tv star robert horton ( alfred hitchcock presents ( 1956 - 60 ) ) , italian glamour goddess luciana paluzzi ( thunderball ( 1965 ) ) and prolific american supporting actor richard jaeckel ( the dirty dozen ( 1967 ) ) . minor roles were ' comprised of various amateur and semi - professional caucasian actors living in japan ' [ 2 ] .\nthis place was very basic . not a resort . rude staff . a bar but with warm beer and not selling until 7 pm ( not that we are big drinkers but like one cold drink in the afternoon . the pool is filthy , green and slimy ( see photos ) . the tvs have no reception . the staff are rude and unhelpful and they . . .\nno doubt you ' ve encountered this cranky critter before \u2014 in any one of three animated feature films which have been dreamworks goldmines . this is his first outing as a broadway musical - comedy star , and there was a lot of wearing of the green among the first - nighters to make him feel relatively at home in the big city .\n, with papier - mache models of space craft and warty green space monsters that are all too palpably little men in rubberized monkey suits , the whole thing would be laughably naive if caught at a saturday matinee . the laughter stops , though , when one releases that it comes from once - mighty metro .\nconsidering the amount of interaction occurring between japanese studios and u . s . distribution companies over the preceding decade , it was only a matter of time before a fully - fledged co - production was on the cards . space - set science fiction / horror the green slime ( 1968 ) was one of the first of these co - productions ; a joint venture between mgm in the u . s . , who provided the money and script , and toei , who provided the crew and their shooting facilities in tokyo . it was a business model that potentially made a lot of sense : utilising the genre expertise of the japanese to realise a project sympathetic to american sensibilities , without the need to dub or re - edit , or put up anymore with questionable inclusions \u2013 lest we forget the\nwally the walrus\nincident from gorath ( 1962 ) . an all - western cast was also an added bonus , meaning that the film could be better integrated into mainstream circulation with other u . s . releases .\nas a guide as much as tsuburaya ' s work . some sequences are very imaginatively conceived , but others are too ambitious for what money and time allowed . one shot of the green slimes clinging to the hull of the space station looks as if it were done with finger puppets . for the record , the picture ' s visual effects were done by japan special effects movie co . , ltd . ( nippon tokusatsu eiga kabushikigaisha ) , the same people who did\na giant asteroid is heading toward earth so some astronauts disembark from a nearby space station to blow it up . the mission is successful , and they return to the station unknowingly bringing back a gooey green substance that mutates into one - eyed tentacled monsters that feed off electricity . soon the station is crawling with them , and people are being zapped left and right !"]}

karunakaran\u2026who is leading a reclusive life with his wife\u2026kind of aloof - into his own world of unresolved thoughts and memories . most of the time he spends reliving the past especially those which revolved around one of his students from years ago . this girl - vinodini drops in a letter , card once in a while - and always signs as respectfully vinodini\u2026that she was much more than just another student is shown in intermittent flashes into the past\u2026both the sir and the student had a special soft corner for each other , but left it unsaid\u2026\nwhen the movie begins , we find the aged teacher reading the latest last from his student , in which she has \u201ccarelessly\u201d mentioned that she would be visiting the mukambika temple when she was coming on a few days leave in the next few days .\nthe master who is not exactly bubbling with health tells his wife he would like to visit the mukambika temple in the following days . the wife is worried about his ill health and suggests he take with him the young boy in the neighbourhood - also a relative . the master agrees half heartedly . the master and the boy take leave of his wife and proceed to mukambika . here , we see that the master is of a melancholic dispositon , and his relationship with his wife of many years is a bit hollow - in the sense that while they care for eachother , there is really no \u201csoul mate\u201d - thinking alike kind of relationship \u2013 just a very functional , mutually beneficial kind of sharing . the master languishes in his own world - as if stuck to the past , while the wife is a practical , down to earth person . it is not mentioned if their early years where different\u2026she reminds him to take his medicines regularly as he leaves\u2026he is in a hurry to reach the station . .\nthe master arrives at the temple - he prays at the sanctum sanctorium , he is doing his perambulations around the temple - while his eyes are searching for someone in the crowd . the boy dutifully reminds the master to take his medicine - and is only too happy to stay back in the hotel room and eat \u2026\nthe sauparnika lake \u2013 the surroundings are all beautifully picturised - but i am afraid i did not notice the song that was running in the background\u2026the temple precincts , the crowds - distracted me\u2026and i too was eagerly looking out for somebody\u2026almost as eager as the master himself .\non the second day , the master emerges from the temple tank after his bath , he is climbing up the steps\u2026and suddenly he stops - the woman who just passed by\u2026he slowly turns back and she was also just pausing to have a second look - they look at eachother\u2019s eyes\u2026first recognizing the other - both had changed almost beyond recognition - time had caused irreparable ravages on their countenace - first there is disbelief , then there is a unique joy , and finally the shock after having assessed the changes that time had wrought upon the other\u2019s face\u2026we have already seen how different they looked in the flashback clips . life had been obviously harsh to them and perhaps harsher for vinodini .\nvinodini says that while she had mentioned that she would be visiting mukambika , she was hoping that the master would perhaps make a trip too at the same time\u2026she asks him to wait so that they could pray at the temple together . after offering prayers they have breakfast at a nearby hotel . they catch up with incidents of the past - the master notices that vinu is very finance conscious - that her attire is very simple , her slippers were worn out\u2026it haunts him - he remembers she used to belong to a rather well off family . vinu expresses her wish to visit kudajadri - a nearby sacred place which is uphill and difficult to reach - the hotel manager informs them that jeep service was available , but for vinu , the rates were exorbitant . the master offers that he could make arrangements to go there and she could join him . vinu is hesitant at first but agrees later .\nagain in between we are taken into the past through the master\u2019s and vinu\u2019s memories - friends of the master and vinu used to tease them about their obvious affection for eachother\u2026but they do not ever express it to eachother themselves . we get to know how the master gets transferred to another school in another place , how vinu\u2019s father does not approve of the polite , affectionate letters from the master and finally the master stops writing to his student . vinu however sends a few lines , a new year card once in a while which the master treasures and keeps reading time and again .\nthe next day , the master persuades his young companion to stay back at mukambika , and leaves for kudajadri with vinu . during the trip uphill , vinu talks to the master about her difficulties , she was a teacher working in chennai , how it was very difficult for her to make ends meet - she had to send money home to her ailing mother . she also says that she would be entitled to a better pay if she could do a course equivalent to b . a but is unable to do so because of financial constraints .\nthe master asked her why she never got married\u2026she said that there was some \u201cdosham\u201d - flaw in her horoscope and so a suitable alliance never materialized and eventually her father fell ill and died , and the years passed unnoticed in the sheer effort of living a daily life . the master talks about his wife \u201cammutty\u201d , children who were living elsewhere . vinu informs him that she had always updated herself with his news . the master remains silent . they reach kutajadri by dusk , avail lodgings at a small home in the place - run by a priest and his family and provided shelter and food to pilgrims . the driver guides them along the hilly trek , and thus the two pilgrims make the pilgrimage of their life together for a brief snatch of time -\nthe master offers prayers in his name and vinodini\u2019s and she is amazed that he still remembered her birth star . the priest conducts a puja and offers prayers to the deity on their behalf . the hosts have naturally assumed that the two were a couple and the two don\u2019t deny it either . later at dinner time , the hosts relate the story of their hardships and vinu tells the master afterwards that her hardships paled in comparison .\nafter dinner , the two pilgrims sit by the lake nearby . . for some time they share a companionable silence and eventually the master asked vinu why she had rejected his proposal for her hand in marriage many years ago . vinu is taken by surprise and she says she never knew he had ever proposed ! then the master explains that a mutual friend had talked to her father many years ago on his behalf seeking vinu\u2019s hand in marriage . vinu\u2019s father had rejected the proposal outright and the master had naturally assumed that vinu knew about it . a shattered vinu reveals that she never knew about it and she utters vehemently - the only moment when the otherwise softspoken vinu explodes involuntarily in suppressed fury - \u201cdushtan\u201d - meaning - \u201cthe cruel one\u201d incriminating her dead father . it was now the turn of the master to be shocked\u2026it had never occurred to him that she had no inkling about his proposal . after this startling disclosure , followed a stunned , wistful , forlorn silence\u2026vinu is unable to suppress her sobs and the master has no words of comfort to offer .\nthe host soon comes to call them inside to retire for the night . they realize that they have been offered a single room . at first , the two pilgrims are awkward , but eventually they accept the situation , and settle down to sleep on the single mat maintaining a polite distance between them .\nthe next morning , the two piligrims return to their respective homes , but before leaving the master asks vinu if he could help her to secure her b . a degree , that he was willing to sponsor her course fees , but vinu declines\u2026they go their ways\u2026it was a pilgrimage for the two of them not just in the religious sense - they had to make this pilgrimage to bring a closure to the blanks in their past\u2026to come to terms with the \u201cif only\u2019s\u201d and the \u201chad beens\u201d\u2026\nthe master was played by the south indian actor jayaram and vinu was played by actress , director , social activist , suhasini - ( also manirathnam\u2019s wife ) . jayaram was quite good - effectively underplaying the pathos - however his make up was jarring\u2026suhasini was tolerable - i usually do not enjoy watching her mannerisms , the way she moves her hands , her crinkly smile , and a tendency to be carefully \u201cnatural\u201d \u2026however her voice over did not suit her\u2026my opinion only\u2026\ni enjoyed the unspoken silences in the movie\u2026m . t . has this way of making silences speak\u2026he has written another novel _ randaamoozham _ \u2013 meaning the second turn alluding to bheema\u2019s turn in his marital life with draupadi , in this novel , m . t . admits to have taken creative liberty to elaborate on certain blanks in the mahabharatha epic\u2026certain incomplete insinuations -

( shostak , 163 )\nand yet , by this time astronomers had discovered dozens of white dwarf stars . . . and not one had a mass above 1 . 4 solar masses , as far as could be determined . there were a few who felt that this was too eerily in accord with chandrasekhar ' s limit for the whole idea to just be dismissed . as we shall see later , the full story of what happens when a white dwarf is taken beyond 1 . 4 solar masses turns out to be wonderful and complicated , but before we can tell that story we must turn our attention to stellar birth , which we will do in the next section . before moving on , i will note that in 1937 , weary of the hostility to his theories from eddington and other british astronomers , chandrasekhar left cambridge for a faculty position at the university of chicago , where he stayed for the rest of his life . in 1983 he was awarded the nobel prize in physics , primarily for his work on white dwarfs .\nnormally , however , this exclusion rule only applies to electrons that are within the same atom . for\nnormal\nmatter ( like the kind you are made of ) , the electrons are attached to nuclei which are littered across the space within you like so many marbles scattered miles apart . there is plenty of room for the small family of electrons in each atom to have the most favorable \u2013 that is , the lowest energy \u2013 states all to themselves . ( see plate 4 for an illustration . )\nthe uk ' s a & e departments have been described by the college of emergency medicine ( cem ) as facing a crisis . the term was specifically chosen to describe the situation that everyone from the most senior consultant to the most junior nurse is experiencing . last year dr cliff mann , the cem president , wrote in a press release :\na lack of a plan for resolution [ is ] an existential threat to emergency medicine .\nthe ekphrais here carries the weight of undecidabilities up to a point when it excludes finding a solid basis for concrete meaning , definite interpretation .\nover the past four progressively worse winters i came to a tipping point . nothing in the media was reflecting the daily realities of being a doctor on the shop floor . last april , when the cem ' s press release hit the headlines , i took my cue .\nas it has already been emphasized , the central symbols in auster\u2019s poetry hovering above the ontological dilemma of the self , representation , and reality , are the mouth ( voice , eating / fasting , nausea ) and the eyes ( disappearance in seeing ) . there is a primordial match between the two .\nmartin heidegger maintains that the hand is the first tool humans have for connecting with the world . levinas , however , in time and the other , suggests that the world is foremost given to the mouth before it is objectified by sight or hands ; in contrast to heidegger , levinas believes that\nprior to being a system of tools , the world is an ensemble of nourishments\u00ab ( uchiyama , 118 ) . in moon palace the intertwining concepts of the eye and mouth go through a detectable progression from ontological considerations ( binge eating / fasting , nausea ) , through the problems of representation ( verbal mimesis of the visual world to the blind , the repetitive babbling of the automaton ) towards straightforward ethical issues ( a loving kiss to the levinasian alterity ) .\nbefore this paper could zero in on the ekphrasis of blakelock\u2019s moonlight , first it has to deal with the neon glitter of the\nmoon palace\n, a prefigurative sign for the painting , which is the only sight to behold from fogg\u2019s room of confinement . my interrogation into the topic relies on lacanian concepts applied to interpret subjective becoming in an instructing essay written about moon palace by salah el moncef . in his study , el moncef concludes that auster manages to transform the process of metonymic drift into a\nfuzzy\n(\nthe drive that each and every one of auster\u2019s books share is a passionate desire to probe into the uncharted territory of the space of writing , a space of signification that is so close to the perceiver , that it becomes absolutely invisible . to add just another metaphor of this atopian locality , i cite patrick burke , who argues that\nfissure\nis\nso thus , when fogg as a connecting node containing paternal stories pars pro toto faces barber as his direct ancestor , barber collapses into his own mise - en - abyme , that is , into his own grave . the chain reaction of unfolding subjectivities results in a clash , an implosion of a story made possible to be told only by fogg as a mise - en - abyme . from this moment on , fogg is freed from the burden of carrying the weight of making all their stories communicable , and now is able to start his own peregrination into the desert after he realizes that it is not possible to return to the origin of the story . the cave where the stories of three sons and absent fathers started , the cave where the ultimate truth of barber\u2019s / effing\u2019s masterpieces is buried , has disappeared under lake powell forever . the only origin to which fogg can now return to is the origin of all beginnings , the infinite possibilities inherent in every fresh start and every dark end : a continual return to the white space of emptiness , a return to the blank page of death .\nin the chambre de bonne we find that the three personae unite in one aspect only , in the disappearances , the invisibility of their work and their subjectivitites . one only has to bring the cover photo of the invention of solitude into mind to have a grasp on this aporetic situation . once again , it is blanchot who offers insight into invisible subjectivities and masterpieces ( cf . effing\u2019s paintings ) by way of interrogating the moment when orpheus looks back to eurydice .\n\u201cas the population grows , the demand is going to grow , \u201d he says . \u201chopefully , as we look down the road , we can start to see improvements in some of those rehabilitation programs so we\u2019re not just building more prisons and throwing more people into them . whatever the solution ends up being , there is going to be built space required . \u201d\nas opposed to intentional attempts at denominalization , in moon palace there are several instances where imaginary perception of outer realities is made possible by unintentional denominalization . the ekphrasis of blakelock\u2019s moonlight is one obvious example of a mise - en - abyme for such operations , and will be interpreted accordingly . but first let us examine how fogg ends up in front of the painting in the first place . the reason why effing sends fogg to the brooklyn museum to behold the painting is most probably his dissatisfaction with the young scholar\u2019s ability to verbally describe visual objects . yet , at the time of the old man\u2019s agony , it is fogg\u2019s newly found talent to dissolve the endless inventories of realities into an intermittent flux of descriptions that offers him some comfort . here prelapsarian language does not formulate itself in the unity of signifiers and signifieds inherent in names given by adam , but rather in the language games necessary to solve an unsolvable problem , that is , to make the infinite seem finite ( and the other way round ) .\nhunger as some guerilla act of dismembering the body of all systematic beliefs in unity is a topic extensively discussed in readings of paul auster . as opposed to city of glass , in moon palace the art of hunger leads to inevitable failure to disappear . however , passivity is retained ( in intention , not in movement , nor in the intake of nourishments ) as a possibility of breaking the cycle of repetitions . the protagonist , fogg confesses to the representative of military power , how he failed in his fasting .\nlee invests his film with the hot - damn urgency of a man long spoiling to be heard . in his eagerness , lee sometimes muddles his points by getting preachy . but the feeling persists that this is the movie that lee , now thirty - one , had to make . what\u2019s held him back ? the atlanta - born , brooklyn - bred alumnus of new york university\u2019s film school first needed to prove he was bankable . only the box - office success of his first two films earned lee the power to swim in the mainstream , where he could reach the greatest numbers . with do the right thing , lee\u2019s best and boldest film , he exploits that power to the fullest and gives audiences the most vigorous shake - up they\u2019ve had in years .\nmovement he belongs to is associated with transcendentalism and illusionistic pictorial representation arising from a metaphysical interest in the sublime .\ndeleuze\u2019s last published work exemplifies his long -

459 . 69 f\u00b0 , as you prefer . 4 \u2013 heat is simply the random motion of small particles . the more energetic the motion of the individual particles , the higher the temperature of the whole .\nhe hopes for a less intense workload as a consultant , but it appears that is not going to be the case . the report said that 40 % of the consultant workforce were on call one night in every six . the average age of emergency medicine consultants is 43 and the survey showed most plan to retire at 60 .\nthere are recurrent themes causing the crisis : more people are coming to a & e ; a falling number of doctors want to work there because of the pressures involved and the poor work / life balance ; and hospitals are increasingly full \u2013 resulting in bottlenecks that back up into the emergency department .\ncould this collaborative approach translate to the civic arena ? possibly . but with 58 counties in california , heeter doesn\u2019t believe there will be enough money \u2014 or enough firms \u2014 to handle all the demands for jail and courthouse construction .\nbefore starting to work with paul auster\u2019s mise - en - abymes , one must read moon palace once again . and once again the reader will became vertiginous with the elaborate network of references and cross - references , once again he will feel the hunger for more and become nauseated when he gets it . once again \u2212 succumbing to the lure of the lucid and lacunic lunar surface of blakelock\u2019s moonlight \u2013 the beholder must delve into the abyss of overdetermined signifiers . and once again one is bound to have a whale of time in the belly of the leviathan .\nthe so - called cap was put in place to ensure the town didn\u2019t expand beyond its limits and encroach on the national park . it\u2019s also meant to prevent overcrowding , housing and parking shortages and traffic congestion , made worse by growing numbers of tourists each year .\nthe chambre de bonne serves as an empty place for meditation for the\nfuzzy\nsubjectivity , which is always already in the process of being created by the cross references of the four archives . there is an infinite number of ways how the wandering mind can connect these archives , and the more footprints these movements leave around the white surface of the center , the more visible the fuzzy subjectivity becomes in the invisible space of the chambre de bonne . mireille rosello proposes the concept of the fl\u00e2neur to describe the movement of the wandering / signifying body / mind ( eye / mouth ) , a concept which cennect alea ( chance events ) with intertextuality , with absence , and with the\nfuzzy\nconcept of subjectivity .\nis in progress , but not so with effing . in the desert he created his new subjetivity ( from julian barber to thomas effing ) , and no matter to what extent he built irony in his new name ( thomas for being dubious , effing for f * * * ing his life ) , the work is completed and entirely wrapped up in its nominalization . he sends fogg to the brooklyn musem with the following advice :\nsee if you can\u2019t begin to enter the mind of the artist , who painted the landscape before you . imagine that you are blakelock , painting the picture yourself\n(\nthe expression itself is an allusion to a volume of poetry by edmond jab\u00e8s ( the book of questions ) , a study ( the book of the dead ) on which was published by paul auster in his compilation of essays , the art of hunger . here the last sentences read as follows :\nwe encourage all readers to share their views on our articles and blog posts . we are committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion , so we ask you to avoid personal attacks , and please keep your comments relevant and respectful . if you encounter a comment that is abusive , click the\nx\nin the upper right corner of the comment box to report spam or abuse . we are using facebook commenting .\nregardless which is correct , the town is faced with a growing population , and need for somewhere to put them .\nlast year\u2019s state corrections budget included $ 500 million to fund the expansion of county jails ( in addition to the jail expansion funds of $ 1 . 2 billion from years prior . but how that money should be allocated is debatable .\nin the levinasian concept of philosophy the ethics of responsibility comes before its imperative drive to seek truth and knowledge through theoretical interrogations . in the subject\u2019s exposed and irreducible relation to a defining other never to be possessed , according to levinas , humanism has to do away with the notion of a free subject . not arising from free will , the demand of alterity presented as the other precedes any knowledge or affirmation / denial of free will . in other words , the subject has its origins in alterity . thus , alterity as a force of subjectivation is always a priori in its relation to the subject . before coming face to face with the other and its demands , the subject could have any claims for accepting / negating free will , only if it arose from itself . in this case ( a heideggerian concept heavily debated by levinas ) , it would be the ego that determined the other , which would , in turn , constitute the ontological subject based on its freedom , intelligibility ( knowing ) , and representation . levinas attacks such a concept , hence his insistence on the\nprimordial phenomenon of gentleness\n( levinas , 150 ) in the face - to - face encounter with the other , which creates the revelation of alterity . the transcendental other preceding subjectivation is precisely what is described by auster in the following passage relating the revelation of\nlove at first sight\n:\nthe start of a shift and i brace myself as i walk into the waiting area . a huge number of people are already there , waiting to be called . i try to avoid eye contact . it ' s like entering an arena but i feel more like the sacrificial lamb than a gladiator . entering the main area of the emergency department , a scene of chaos . all available space to see patients is occupied . staff shout instructions to each other above the noise . i hear a patient vomiting , another is crying out in pain and an elderly woman ' s voice cuts through , confused and repeating that she wants to go home .\nso do i ,\ni whisper to myself .\nthere are several critical concepts , metaphores that come to mind facing the music of origin and death in such a paradoxical de / territorialized locality . to name but a few , the space of literature , the orphic space , the gaze ( maurice blanchot ) , tuch\u00e9 , the gaze ( jacques lacan ) , punctum ( roland barthes ) , hibridity , the third space ( homi bhabha ) , mirror stage ( as interpreted by paul de man ) and the decisive moment ( henri cartier - bresson ) has to be enlisted here . what these differing concepts embedded in their ideosyncratic contexts have in common is that they connect the idea of an aporetic surface , movement , moment to their selfsame impulse , namely , to the act of perception .\nsalah el moncef\u2019s generalized concept of the sublime is described as a constant oscillation between a symbolic totality ( 1 ) , and its synchronic coexistance with the metonymic drift of fragments ( 2 ) . this aporetic function of the moon inherent in blakelock\u2019s landscape connects the sublime to jacques lacan\u2019s concept of anamorphosis and maurice blanchot\u2019s\norphic space\n. according to lacan and blanchot , this aporetic space is the surface where author as the absent other lacking origin opens up to his counterpart , the one who percieves . lacan in the confirms that\n[ t ] here is something whose absence can always be observed in a picture ( \u2026 ) . this is the central field , where the separating power of the eye is exercised to the maximum in vision\n( the four fundamental concepts of psycho - analysis 108 ) .\nto be able to apprehend the difference and parallelism of these two modes of interpreting the closure inthe novel , this paper must rely on the instructive use of the mise - en - abyme as\nrepresentational gap or error\ndefined by debra shostak and steven weisenburger , and as opposed to the postmodernist understanding of the same iconic device as regressus ad infinitum . my interrogation will aim at unraveling the manifold aspects of the mise - en - abyme inherent in moon palace , such as its genealogical , representational , discoursive , iconic , and semiotic functions . yet , first we must look into the history of the concept .\nthe answer to how climate change will affect hindu - kush - himalaya depends on whom you ask . some will point at expected changes in climate , others will show what it may do to poor people , and some will express their concerns regarding the economies in the region .\nwhereas anamorphosis as a lacuna in the work of art emphasises how drawing the observer into the act of perception depends on a signifying point of overflowing negation in the center , blanchot\u2019s concept underlines how both author and beholder disappear into the fissure of the openness deeply implemented within the core of the work .\nwhat this means is , if you heat or cool electron - degenerate matter , then the nuclei move faster or slower just as they would in a normal gas . but unlike a normal gas , the electrons don ' t care and don ' t follow suit . they are not attached to any particular nucleus any longer and in fact , the only factor that has any effect on them is the struggle to push themselves farther apart and avoid the exclusion rule . that struggle results from the immense compression created by the immense gravity of the white dwarf , and gravity has nothing to do with temperature . thus , the electron gas responds only to changes in the mass of the white dwarf ( i . e . , to changes in its gravity ) , and not to changes in its temperature , which in turn means that a white dwarf does not change in size at all as it is heated or cooled .\nthe mise - en - abyme of the moon viewed from a room associated with fogg\u2019s total failure to intentionally deprive himself of systematic beliefs results in a nominalization of the sublime ( ideological anchoring with the ideal other :\ngod\n) . instead of effective self - realization through a passive opening of the subject to the world ( see the closure of the novel ) , here what we find is fogg\u2019s virtual self - definition ( expressed in terms of seriate otherness ) . fogg\u2019s imaginary selves disseminate through a condensed signifier ( the sign\nmoon palace\n) , that is , through a vertiginous space reflected back to his room ( back to the metonymic associations in his name ) . as maurice blanchot states :\ncomment : we are committed to providing each customer with the highest standard of customer service . all books are picked , packed and dispatched from the united kingdom .\nfor a long time we were like john the baptist , crying into the wilderness and no one was listening ,\nmann said to me , while on shift at musgrove park . the most senior consultant within emergency medicine leads from the front , including a friday shift that runs from 3pm to midnight .\nno one goes into emergency medicine thinking it ' s going to be easy and calm \u2013 that would be bizarre . but if you push the individual with persistently increasing intensity levels they will start to fade .\nfunded by usaid and implemented by the college of law of haramaya university , the peace centers for climate and social resilience ( pccsr ) project seeks to address community vulnerabilities to climate change and improve communities\u2019 capacity for conflict prevention , mitigation and resolution .\na wrestling queen ( mimi lesseos ) turns kickboxer to avenge her brother , slain by the boss of chinatown death bouts .\ntrauma inherently challenges both the possibility of representation ( the mimetic charge , to speak the unspeakable ) and the postmodern premise of nonreferentiality . whether manifested in loss , injury , or abjection , trauma insists on a presence , an\nout there\nthat must be narrated so as to free the subject from repetition . trauma requires history , a story of the body in time ( shostak 152 ) .\n100 ) . terry eagleton expresses his concerns whether derrida\u2019s positioning ethics and politics within a deconstructionalist theoretical framework is answering to ethical and political demands . this statement is strengthened by the derridean claim that no responsibility can be taken without taking that responsibility for something that is bound to prove itself to be ultimate undecidability . before turning to emmanuel levinas for a concept satisfying demands of ethics and politics both , i have to quote one of patricia merivale\u2019s instructive observations once again :\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\npoole acknowledges it\u2019s difficult for town and parks officials to manage conflicting demands in a small town where everyone knows each other and no one wants to be heavy -

monte markham is a director most famous for filming slow motion boobs on tv ' s baywatch i was more than a little shocked to see his name credited as the writer / director of this odd ball , though not entirely un - enjoyable , post apocalyptic romp from 1992 . starring genre favorite michael ironside as a rough and tumble bounty hunter , and ex - canadian super model vanity as his sultry bounty , neon city tries to be a kick ass knock off of a gritty and violent spaghetti western , but ends up being a third rate mad max clone and somewhat of a confusing mess . however , for hardcore pa fans who ' ve developed the stomach for all those mad max and escape from new york knock offs from the likes of enzo g . castellari and joe d ' amato , neon city might be worth tracking down as it is yet another fun sunday afternoon viewing .\nacross the city you will find a lot of people to interact with . some of they share you ideals of unification and peace , some others seek chaos and mayhem . here is a quick peek of them .\nnow , picture yourself in a not so distant cyberpunk / nu - wave future where almost everyone in your city was forced to be part of a gang and dragged into a turf war that have broken the equilibrium of the whole metropolis and his habitants . apparently the only way to restore this balance is to go deep into each one of the gang turfs and defeat their leaders to unify the city and its people once again .\nenjoy the nu - wave / jazz - hop soundtrack filled up with nostalgia , action and drama all wrapped up exclusively in 16 - bit era style instruments (

reno ( vanity ) to prison . when harry discovers that she is a highly sought - after criminal , he has to bring her to the big metropolis of neon city . unfortunately , this means traveling with the muscle - bound bulk ( lyle alzado ) and other misfits through dangerous and uncivilized lands , a situation made more perilous by life - threatening weather and vicious marauders .\nthe protagonist of the game , the unselfish hero . you will play the rol of this rad dude that even with his rough appearance is ready to give everything to unify his city and to bring peace once again to his people .\nneon city is a decent post - apocalyptic take on stagecoach . the world in which it takes place is nicely formed . there are these periodic instances of severe sunlight referred to as\nbrights\nthat leave those exposed to it with severe radiation poisoning . there are mutants , and social politics involved in the treatment of them , and breeding between mutants and non is harshly viewed . the society that exists is devolved back into classic western tropes - - headhunters , fascist law enforcement , theives , and so forth .\nthe secret is the third and final ( in 2016 ) installment of mapping the city . fiamma montezemolo\u2019s exhibition consists of two installations \u2014 \u2018 three ecologies \u2019 and \u2018 neon afterwords \u2019 ( the latter one especially produced for this occasion thanks to the italian cultural institute ) \u2014 which straddle the interstices between art and anthropology , the self and the other . guided by their senses , the secret\u2019s viewers will be invited to forge their own pathway through the installations to seek out meaning , replicating a journey from jorge luis borges\u2019 short story \u201cthe ethnographer . \u201d\nwhen i hear , or think of actor michael ironside . i\u2019m so use to him in a genre film of this ilk playing the hissable bad guy / henchman , in one shape or another , so it was a nice change of pace to see him at the opposite end of the spectrum . his gruff , tough as nails anti - hero performance , ex - ranger turned bounty hunter , makes it worthwhile , as the straight - to - video \u201cneon city\u201d is virtually unspectacular , yet a durable and smoky post apocalyptic low - budget action fare .\nnorfolk\u2019s first official arts district , the neon district , is home to a new wave of passion and creativity in downtown . neon , or new energy of norfolk , draws from the neighborhood\u2019s history with the automobile industry as it moves into a new and vibrant future . long time cultural institutions like the chrysler museum of art and harrison opera house anchor the district while new art venues like glass wheel studio and work | release provide artists a place to make , create and show . whether you are a local or visiting for the first time , the neon district offers a unique cultural experience . within a few short blocks you can see a muralist at work , take in an improv comedy performance at push comedy theater , watch a live glass - working demonstration , shop for unique home goods , get a tattoo or dine out at an eclectic

harry stark is a bounty hunter in the year 2053 , where the world ' s environment has gone to hell after the ozone layer was destroyed in a botched scientific experiment . at the beginning of the movie , we see him capture an escaped prisoner ( played by vanity - her character ' s name according to the credits is\nreno\n, though i don ' t think it ' s actually mentioned once during the movie ) at a remote outpost . he then drags her back to civilization ( at least , what passes for civilization now ) to turn her in and collect the reward . though once he ' s there , he discovers that he now has to hand her over to the authorities in neon city . not only is it several days journey from where stalk is now , it ' s through territory plagued by gun - wielding bandits , as well as pockets of polluted air and lethal sun rays . several subsequent circumstances beyond his control soon find himself and reno aboard a large armored transport vehicle on its way to neon city , along with a variety of other passengers , among them a spoiled socialite , a comedian , a doctor , a woman who apparently knows stark from the past , and an ex - convict that stark put in jail five years earlier . in other words , what we have here is an update of the classic movie stagecoach ; it goes to show that the western isn ' t dead , just evolved into other genres .\nour members the

that we attend . we , and the 501st legion have worked closely over the years with lucasfilm ltd . , at conventions and events in a continued effort to promote our love of star wars by bringing the characters to life for the enjoyment of all .\nis neon city a terrible movie ? no , it certainly isn ' t ; i was never bored while i was watching it , because there was something of interest to look at every few minutes . but while its facade looks good , the interior , while not repugnant , is lacking life . not just with the characters and their interactions , but in other areas . ( the action sequences , for one thing , are mostly generic . ) while it ' s a movie that passes the time adequately enough , it has nothing that will compel a viewer to rush out and find it , or make them want to see it again after watching it . if a picture is worth a thousand words , then i would have cashed in some of this movie ' s good look for a screenplay with more substance .\nnot long after a technological pinnacle , the society experimented a quick economic downhill that ended in the fast accumulation of useless robotics and damaged utopian structures . even when their time on the top was little , the cyborgs learned enough data and intelligence to create their own sub - society and seize the east side of the city . now they just try to survive and encapsulate their kind into their turf .\nfor this project we got inspired by some of our favorite games like link\u2019s awakening , hyper light drifter , mother series , final fight series , fallout 3 and even the dynamics of resident evil to name some . and thanks to this influence and your feedback we will be able to build our own identity and concept which we know it will be appealing to you and get you into invest many hours enjoying this city , its inhabitants and its mechanics .\nthe first thing we defined was the contextual concept , which we decided to fuse the urban aesthetics of new york gangs during the 70 ' s and 80 ' s with science fiction concepts , specifically cyberpunk . after that we were adding more ideas like the use of supernatural abilities , the division of turfs and the identity of their gangs , the correlation of your new skills and their mechanics to unlock areas and to destroy enemies more easily , the relationship of the city and its inhabitants with you and how these connection allow you to unlock new features , and finally add a simple but deep story filled with a charismatic cast , moral drama and good sense of humor .\nin neon city , ironside plays bounty hunter hero harry stark . at least , i assume he ' s supposed to be the hero , since he ' s a really rough and gruff fellow with the hint of a snarl on his lips . since there are meaner guys encountered in this movie , i guess he is the hero , though i think the proper term would be anti - hero . what ever kind of hero he is , it ' s kind of a disappointment to see ironside the way he is here , especially since this kind of role is rare for him . frequently , his character ' s sour disposition makes him almost come across as a bad guy who is masquerading not very well as a good guy . at least , the times when his character talks , which isn ' t as often as you ' d think . and with a number of other characters getting focus in the movie , it ' s kind of odd having a hero who doesn ' t seem to have that much more focus than the supporting characters . the times when he is standing out , it ' s actually hard to get caught up by what he ' s doing ; there ' s something unnatural looking about ironside in this movie . the features on his face don ' t stand out , almost as if the makeup artist didn ' t touch up his face for the camera lens . his hair , except for the ponytail , looks as if it ' s paint on a bald hair . he looks strange .\nalthough canada has turned out its share of cinematic wobblers over the years , they ' ve been low on those post - nuke mad max ripoffs that perpetually glut the direct - to - video market . maybe bob and doug mckenzie ' s uproarious\nmutants of 2051 a . d .\nspoof from strange brew shamed the canadian film industry for years . in any case , the moratorium has ended with . . . read more\nalthough canada has turned out its share of cinematic wobblers over the years , they ' ve been low on those post - nuke mad max ripoffs that perpetually glut the direct - to - video market . maybe bob and doug mckenzie ' s uproarious\nmutants of 2051 a . d .\nspoof from strange brew shamed the canadian\ninstead of a horse - drawn wagon , this stagecoach retread features a turbocharged truck that conveys diverse misfits across the environmentally ravaged wastelands of 2053 , where nomadic bandits , toxic mist , lethal sunbursts and those ever - popular mutants pose constant peril . the characters have to\nwildman ) , now a mail - order bride for some lucky neonian ;

like boy and their journey together begins .\nadam resurrected is , without question , the strangest holocaust themed film i have seen , and likely will see . based on a novel , the film follows adam stein , a magician that acted as a sort of clown / pet for a concentration camp commander . the film finds him in and out of bouts of insanity , followed by manic outbursts of what some considered to be brilliance . what makes adam resurrected so strange is the tone . the film is simply all - over - the map . at times , it seems to be going for surreal and whimsical , other times it goes for serious and profound . none of this is ever achieved , as the film has no real dramatic anchoring . there are scenes that are seemingly inexplicable , dialogue that is both hard to understand and verbose . the tone shifts are so drastic , one can hardly take the film in . it ' s all too manic and kinetic in its approach . schrader simply comes across as earnest , certainly , but helplessly bogged down in the film ' s own supposed cleverness , with no real sense of organic story - telling . the lone bright spot with adam resurrected is jeff goldblum , who has a truly great performance . the problem , however , is that his character is simply awash in a film that is otherwise dramatically adrift , and devoid of focus . 2 / 5 stars\nadam resurrected\nstarts in tel aviv in 1961 where the men in the white suits with butterfly nets come to take adam stein ( jeff goldblum ) away to the seizling institute , a rehab facility for holocaust survivors , after he tries to strangle his landlady ( juliane kohler ) . while some may have doubts about whether or not he can be cured , dr . gross ( derek jacobi ) , the head doctor , disagrees and gina ( ayelet zurer ) , a nurse , thinks he is hot for some odd reason . while there , he remembers being a clown and working with his family in berlin before world war ii , while sensing there is a dog in room 285 . directed by paul schrader ,\nadam resurrected\ntakes an intriguing psychological angle at the holocaust , showing that the suffering did not end simply with the liberation of the camps . adam suffers from a type of survivors ' guilt , being dehumanized in his own way . that realistic approach is undercut by elements of magic realism and mysticism . adam develops odd ailments from which he comes back from the dead , causing at least one fellow patient to think he is the messiah . why not ? they are in the desert , after all . yes , the movie does come full circle but why so sentimental ?\nthis was an extremely intensive novel to read , and probably not a book for the casual reader . there are no spoilers here , but reading this novel is like being in the mind of an insane person from beginning to end . wretching at times , this certainly can be what is there in the minds of people who have suffered physically , but mostly mentally . the crowning achievement of one of israel ' s literary masters , adam resurrected remains one of the most powerful works of holocaust fiction ever written . a former circus clown who was spared the gas chamber so that he might entertain thousands of other jews as they marched to their deaths , adam stein is now the ringleader at an asylum in the negev desert populated solely by holocaust survivors . alternately more brilliant than the doctors and more insane than any of the patients , adam struggles wildly to make sense of a world in which the line between sanity and madness has been irreversibly blurred . with the biting irony of catch -

messiah is a financial genius who ' s irresistible to women , reads minds , can make himself bleed , and is haunted ineffably by demons he can ' t begin to fathom , let alone control . yet goldblum sells this wildly theatrical character through sheer magnetism . the otherworldly nature of his restless , nervous charisma has seldom been put to better use . even when it flies off the rails deep into its third act , resurrected remains strangely hypnotic . though schrader and goldblum have transformed kaniuk ' s book into a film as insane as any of its characters , its source material somehow retains its air of unfilmability . that ' s just one of this film ' s many strange paradoxes .\nultimately , though , adam resurrected is too weird for its own good . the asylum scenes , with the usual gaggle of misfits and miscreants , are over the top and clich\u00e9d , and some of the sequences involving canine behavior\u2014like the nurse barking before sex\u2014are plain ridiculous . there\u2019s also a bit of a problem with goldblum\u2019s german accent , which is occasionally incomprehensible . and the ending is filled with the kind of symbolic touches that are wince - inducing .\nthe dog phobia adam has had since his concentration camp days begins to dissolve and then to change into fatherly concern with his discovery of david ( tudor rapiteanu ) , a wild child sequestered in the hospital . chained to his bed , clutching a sheet with eyeholes through which he peers like a halloween ghost , david believes he is a dog . as adam and david develop a bond , the boy takes his first lurching steps on two feet and begins to make human sounds . he becomes the vehicle for adam\u2019s \u201cresurrection\u201d to sanity .\non paper , paul schrader ' s mind - meltingly odd new film , adam resurrected , sounds disconcertingly like the day the clown cried , the notorious unreleased jerry lewis monstrosity about a clown who leads children into the gas chambers at auschwitz . actually , to give schrader and co - conspirator jeff goldblum full credit for their lunatic ambition , adam may be even crazier than lewis ' comedy - drama ; for all its surreal bad taste , clown probably doesn ' t feature a protagonist with psychic gifts , a burning bush in the israeli desert , and a feral wolf - boy who forms a strong emotional bond with a man who lived extensively in the role of a dog in a concentration camp . yes , resurrected has the potential to be not just awful , but a crime against cinema , taste , and solid judgment . not being offensively terrible consequently counts as one of the film ' s strongest virtues .\nthe story of adam takes you from post ww ii germany to the land of israel in a flash back & present telling tale of one man ' s journey back from the brink of self - destruction . a famous eurpean clown forced to be a dog during the holocaust , living by wit & his commander ' s wims & then having to keep his commander alive after the war ended . adam finds himself returning to institution life , too smart to be cured and too scared to stay in the outside world . adam terrorizes the staff , tantalizes his lover ( the head nurse ) and mesmorizes all the other patients with his charm and wit . adam finally begins to heal as he attempts to heal a young boy who thinks he ' s a dog .\nthe film , part of which is told through a series of flashbacks , follows the story of adam stein ( jeff goldblum ) , a charismatic patient of a fictitious psychiatric asylum for holocaust survivors in israel , in 1961 . adam was a comedian in berlin prior to the second world war , during which he was sent to a concentration camp . adam manages to survive the war only because his pre - war act was recalled by an ss officer ( willem dafoe ) , who takes adam as his\npet ,\ninsisting he act like a dog ( as he did during one of his sketches ) . his humiliation was his ticket to survival , as he was even forced to play the fiddle as his wife and daughter were led to the gas chambers . while he is outwardly charming and witty , adam is tormented by survivor ' s guilt and delusions that he is a dog .

war and war years shot in shimmering black - and - white , the film is engaging enough , even if the two main locations are an insane asylum and concentration camp . plus , goldblum\u2019s performance is truly commanding , the actor\u2019s familiar eccentric style\u2014the staccato speechifying and bony physicality\u2014a perfect match for the brilliant but deranged character .\nthis was an extremely intensive novel to read , and probably not a book for the casual reader . there are no spoilers here , but reading this novel is like being in the mind of an insane person from beginning to end . wretching at times , this certainly can be what is there in the minds of people who have suffered physically , but mostly mentally . the crowning achievement of one of israel ' s literary masters , adam resurrected remains one of the most powerful works of holocaust fiction ever written . a f\n\u201cadam wasn\u2019t a sad , troubled youth , \u201d she said . \u201cwhat he couldn\u2019t get over was that kids weren\u2019t communicating with each other . \u201d so , adopting the connect without technology theme , she envisaged a \u201ckid - driven\u201d program \u201cbringing them to a central point without being self - conscious . it\u2019s not just a bowl of apples , it\u2019s a place . and if adam was there , he\u2019d say : \u2018this is cool . \u2019\u201d\nder jude adam stein ist ein \u00fcberlebender des holocaust - als clown angeheuert , musste er im konzentrationslager den kommandanten klein unterhalten , indem er sich wie ein hund verhalten und auch entsprechend leben musste . einige jahre sp\u00e4ter befindet er sich nun in einer hochmodernen heilanstalt , in der sich auch andere \u00fcberlebende des holocaust befinden , die einen seelischen schaden erlitten haben . das buch beschreibt die geschichte von adam stein , von seinem leben im konzentrationslager bis\nheu\n, a song from adam\u2019s road\u2019s first album demonstrating the awe we feel as believers in christ , is revitalized with new drum and bass parts which add even more drive to the song . also included is a live version of\napples for the taught : darcy hibberd\u2019s worst moment entailed finding 22 - year - old son adam hryhorchuk dead from a recreational drug\u2019s unknown ingredients . his former west point grey academy headmaster , stephen anthony , reportedly recalled adam being \u201cnot the kind of kid you put a plaque about on the wall . he was all about people connecting . \u201d noting that his death had spurred informal student gatherings , anthony suggested that an apple bowl might draw in others .\nthe novel , which won extravagant critical acclaim and earned comparisons to \u201ccatch - 22\u201d and the magical realism of gabriel garc\u00eda m\u00e1rquez , takes the concept of being treated like a dog to its absurdist limits . after adam is scooped up by the nazis , he is forced to accept a faustian arrangement : he lives in comfort at a concentration camp as the pet dog of commandant klein ( willem dafoe ) , a nazi officer who remembers adam\u2019s nightclub animal act .\nchoosing \u201cbetween being grief - stricken and actually doing something , \u201d hibberd launched the adam\u2019s apple foundation ( urltoken ) , recruited a board and sought now - imminent charitable status for a scheme somewhat akin to elementary schools\u2019 buddy benches .\nthe reviews on this one showed promise , but it was just so leisurely and slow . and when a book is downloaded as an audible , it ' s too difficult to skim . so . . . . sorry , adam .\ncutting between a psychiatric institute for survivors in 1960s israel and germany during the war years , adam resurrected follows adam stein ( jeff goldblum ) , a popular music hall clown in 1930s berlin who\u2019s sent to the death camps along with his wife and daughter , but strikes a bargain with the commandant , klein ( willem dafoe ) , to serve as his \u201cpet\u201d in exchange for not being gassed . crawling around on all fours for klein\u2019s amusement or challenging a dog for a piece of meat , stein lives out the war in this state of tortured debasement while his fellow prisoners are marched to their death . years later , a mass of suppressed survivor guilt , he\u2019s sent to the asylum where he passes the time entertaining his fellow inmates , with whom he\u2019s a great favorite , screwing the head nurse , and sneaking slugs of whiskey on the sly .\nhard landing : adam hryhorchuk could have perished at age seven when artist - pilot toni onley offered him and father greg an aerial joyride . onley had already wrecked a plane on the cheakamus glacier . a subsequent stall into the fraser river killed him . struggling to lift him and the hryhorchuks from rain - sodden grass , his plane plunged to earth . when the racket of human cries and tortured metal ended , adam calmly said : \u201cdad , you told me never to use that word . \u201d\nthis complex movie is both serious and comical . the movie\u2019s message is clearly anti - god , however . the filmmakers blame god for the holocaust . in the end , adam is in the desert and a burning bush appears as it did for moses . however , instead of god appearing , the dead commandant klein appears and tries to get adam to commit suicide . throughout the story , god is often compared to the nazis . ultimately , the movie\u2019s humanist , anti - biblical attacks on god are what make it abhorrent .\njeff goldblum ( jurassic park , the fly ) as adam stein delivers one of the most powerful performances of his career in this compelling , unforgettably moving film . tormented in a world war ii concentration death camp by a high - ranking nazi officer ( oscar nominee * willem dafoe , spider - man ) , adam spends the next 15 years tucked away in a remote experimental insane asylum with fellow holocaust victims . clinging to the remains of his sanity , adam uses his amazing magic and comic skills to entertain the residents and develops a relationship with an attractive nurse ( ayelet zurer , angels & demons ) . but only when he reaches out to a mentally scarred young boy does he begin to confront his own pain and guilt and start to heal in this extraordinary testament to the fierce resilience of the human spirit .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken subscribe to classic trailers : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken adam resurrected ( 2008 ) official trailer # 1 -

and - white sequences ) to the 1950s and early \u201960s ( color ) , when adam is the star patient at a psychiatric treatment center for holocaust survivors in the negev desert . in these madhouse scenes adam , much like mcmurphy in \u201cone flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest , \u201d has the run of the place . he swills booze out of the bottle and carries on an affair with the head nurse ( ayelet zurer ) , who is so besotted with him that she eagerly grovels on all fours and barks for attention .\nthe movie drags quite a bit and borders on tedious at times , but jeff goldblum gives a good performance and william dafoe as the villainous klein is very creepy . the story bounces between the current story of adam in the facility with david and flashbacks to his time during and immediately after the war .\nliterature . the english title echoes with redemptive sentiment , but the original title - adam ben kelev ( ' a human son of a dog ' ) - is closer to the novel ' s sense of tormented metamorphosis . the story centres on adam stein , an ex - clown and inmate of an israeli asylum for survivors of the nazi death camps . through a frenzy of carnivalesque language , kaniuk twists stein into a dog and a young boy . the book ' s unstable symbolism extends to the asylum , which is figured as a desert paradise , a prison and , controversially , the state of israel itself .\nadam stein is a holocaust survivor , a former circus clown spared the nazi ' s gas chambers so that he might entertain thousands of other jews as they marched to their deaths . he now finds himself the ringleader of a group of patients at an asylum in israel ' s negev desert populated solely by holocaust survivors .\nthis is a powerful and exceedingly grim work of holocaust literature . the setting is a mental hospital in israel , generously funded by an eccentric american donor , exclusively for holocaust survivors . the central character , adam stein , survived the horror of the prison camps by using his talents as a clown to entertain a german officer . particularly amusing to the officer was stein\u2019s imitation of a dog , an act he would so regularly perform that he essentially became a dog himself . stein is both brilliant and insane , and we spend much of this novel inside his mind , which means i was frequently felt confused or very much adrift . no , i cannot say i \u201cenjoyed\u201d this novel ( \u201cthere is no future to life , life\u2019s an invention that didn\u2019t succeed\u201d [ p232 ] ) , nor even found myself pushed forward rapidly toward tbe conclusion , a conclusion that holds its share of surprises . let\u2019s say that i suffered through \u201cadam resurrected\u201d\u2014happy i read it , happy i\u2019m done - - while all the time feeling admiration for kaniuk\u2019s genius in adding significantly , i think , to a body of literature about the holocaust that has already attracted a very large quantity of literary genius .\nadam sobrevive ao campo de concentra\u00e7\u00e3o , tornando - se o \u201cc\u00e3o\u201d do comandante , divertindo - o , enquanto a mulher e a filha s\u00e3o exterminadas . um livro perturbador , com um humor escur\u00edssimo . uma outra vis\u00e3o do holocausto que nos leva numa viagem tenebrosa . num mundo louco , ser louco \u00e9 a \u00fanica forma poss\u00edvel de nos adaptarmos .\nthis human dog is expected to amuse his owner by doing what david letterman might call stupid human tricks , which distract klein from the gruesome business at hand . spending days on all fours , begging , rolling over and seizing hunks of meat with his teeth from the mouth of the commandant\u2019s german shepherd \u2014 with which he forms an animal bond \u2014 adam is a \u201cgood dog . \u201d when not a pet , adam is forced to play the violin and serenade his fellow prisoners , including his wife and daughter , as they are marched to the gas chambers . the scene in which they pass him on the way to the crematorium is one of the potentially wrenching moments that the film throws away .\nwhile the holocaust is certainly a legitimate topic of inquiry for the committed filmmaker , most contemporary treatments of the nazi camps betray their mission by allowing the viewer to feel altogether too comfortable as they take in the on - screen atrocities . whether through the establishment of a mitigating historical distance , the adoption of standard genre tropes or the repetition of an established catalog of horrors , films like the boy in the striped pajamas and a secret tend to overly familiarize the events of world war ii , allowing the viewer to safely assimilate that conflict\u2019s genocidal horrors . but whatever the flaws of adam resurrected , and despite the fact that no physical violence is perpetrated on screen , paul schrader never allows the viewer to get comfortably situated , relying on an absurdist central conceit and a rapidly shifting array of intellectual and moral concerns\u2014whose superficial treatment unfortunately leads to a certain diffuseness in the work\u2014to continually de - familiarize his subject .\nfinally , though , what do all schrader\u2019s visual grotesqueries achieve ? beyond the obvious power of its evocation of debasement , there\u2019s little in the film that sticks . filling in the movie\u2019s margins with philosophical dialog about god\u2019s absence , thinly sketched characterizations of the other inmates and the requisite religious symbolism , schrader litters his work with marginal detritus that , rather than adding to the film\u2019s moral and intellectual heft , tends to dissipate it instead . at once overstuffed and underimagined , adam resurrected is an intermittently fascinating , often indifferent mess of a picture , a film that has occasional moments of overwhelming power and many more that leave the viewer completely cold . still , with so many films that make 1940s germany look as delightfully quaint as victorian england , it\u2019s refreshing to see a movie that doesn\u2019t betray the memory of the six million through the cheap comforts of historical distancing . if nothing else , the legacy of the holocaust feels very much alive in schrader\u2019s picture .\nthis is the story of adam stein who survives the holocaust , but by acting as a dog and performing music for the commandant . afterwards , he is stricken with survivor ' s guilt and all of the trauma that is attached with the holocaust and is taken to a sanitarium to become cured . this is a dark and chilling book that i would reccommend to anyone that loves history .\nthe torturer\u2019s greatest art , so it is said , is to make his victims go on torturing themselves \u2014 for life , if possible . that certainly seems the fate of adam stein ( jeff goldblum ) , a jewish comedian of genius in prewar berlin , who is unable to save his family when the nazi genocide overtakes them and only survives a concentration camp himself by becoming the literal pet of the camp\u2019s commandant ( willem dafoe ) .\na charismatic jewish circus performer in 1930s berlin , adam survives the holocaust by exploiting his skills as an entertainer . as the film goes on to explore his extreme case of survivor\u2019s guilt after the war , it poses familiar questions about who is sane in an insane world and assumes that simply reiterating those questions will suffice . the film is so flat that it leaves you wondering if mr . kaniuk\u2019s book is ultimately untranslatable to the screen .\nadam resurrected is a captivating , bizarre , and at times extremely real and disturbing film . while i do not want to spoil much about the film , please be warned that this film is not for everyone . the cinematography , editing , and pacing of the film and reflection on the main character adam stein ( played brilliantly by jeff goldblum ) make you feel a little bit disoriented and maybe even a little crazy , which is entirely the point of the movie . some things are shown in the film that might be simply too preposterous or outrageous to believe , but the way the film is shot makes what is happening on screen feel very real . this is the accomplishment of this film : it throws at you such bizarre and preposterous characters and actions , and then takes these actions and grounds them in reality and , most importantly , feeling : you really feel engrossed in the world being presented , and it can sometimes be very disorienting and disturbing to watch . paul schrader ' s direction is spot on , and all the performances are quite good . the pacing and editing is also well - done with beautiful cinematography , although the film has a few editing and pacing quirks here and there where things could have been done better . all in all , though , it ' s an extremely well - made film . jeff goldblum gives a heartbreaking and breathtaking performance , a true crime being committed that he has not been given more recognition for this film . watch this film if you are in any way a fan of jeff goldblum or cinema .\ncostly , too . schools like 2 , 500 - enrolment churchill secondary , with 2 , 500 students , require $ 15 , 000 annually . that\u2019s why the foundation is fundraising to extend 12 vancouver and richmond school locations to 50 in 2016 . a link with the heros hockey - outreach organization should fund a national program . addressing the core issue , hibberd said : \u201cadam thought drugs were safe . but he made a bad choice . \u201d\ni neither speak nor read hewbrew and there must be much lost in translation in this book . this is not a book that i would have ever read if not for fact , while in nyc , went to martha stewart taping and she had actor who played adam stein there . seems that there are many things beyond my understanding and style of writing is difficult to follow so i forced myself to finish this book . the ending made the read worthwhile .\nthe movie\u2019s message is clearly anti - god . the filmmakers have gone out of their way to blame god for the holocaust . a supporting character has adam type out his eulogy because he plans to die soon so he can go to heaven and make god answer to him as to why he caused such evil on earth . the character says the jews were saved from haman ( a reference to the book of esther ) only to be tossed to hitler .\nthis is a powerful and exceedingly grim work of holocaust literature . the setting is a mental hospital in israel , generously funded by an eccentric american donor , exclusively for holocaust survivors . the central character , adam stein , survived the horror of the prison camps by using his talents as a clown to entertain a german officer . particularly amusing to the officer was stein\u2019s imitation of a dog , an act he would so regularly perform that he essentially became a dog himself . stein is both\ni see why they say this remains one of the most powerful holocaust fiction books ever written . the back story of adam , the main character but certainly not the only compelling one , is so tragic and gut - wrenching . imagine what you would do to survive the death camps . i listened to the audio book while exercising , and sometimes it was hard to continue without crying on the treadmill . equally beautiful and terrifying , this book will stay with me . highly recommend .\nadam stein ( jeff goldblum ) was a cabaret and circus star in pre - war berlin , until the nazis shut down his show and shoved him and his family into a series of concentration camps . in 1944 , he\u2019s sent to the stellring camp , where the commandant ( willem dafoe ) , a fan of his act , separates stein from the rest of the prisoners and treats him ( literally ) like a pet dog , forcing him to crawl around on all fours , bark on command and wear a collar .\ni have the right background to read this book . i know the bible more than the average person and i have been exposed to the holocause history more than the average person . that is who i would recommend this book to , those who find themselves in those two categories , there is so much shifting back and forth between reality and fantasy i am lkeft not fully knowing which was which . this was worth reading just for david king of israel and rex also known as adam . probably the kind of book id like or\ncaldera records is proud to present the original score for the motion picture \u201cadam resurrected\u201d from 2008 , directed by paul schrader and starring jeff goldblum , willem dafoe and derek jacobi . goldblum stars as adam stein , a clown who is sent to a concentration camp in wwii . there he meets commandant klein , played by willem dafoe , whose dog stein pretends to be by behaving like an animal . after the war , stein is sent to a mental asylum where he meets a young boy who pretends to be a dog . this encounter brings back old memories for stein which will haunt him forever . the film is based on a novel by yoram kaniuk and was directed by none other than paul schrader , the enfant terrible of the new hollywood and the man behind the scripts for \u201ctaxi driver\u201d and \u201craging bull\u201d . the music was written by gabriel yared who delivered one of his most unusual and daring works and also one of his most satisfying . yared , who won an oscar for his work on \u201cthe english patient\u201d , wrote the score for an orchestra but later abandoned the idea to create a score which wouldn\u2019t make the film into a schmaltzy melodrama . instead , the composer used a solo piano , solo violin , solo guitar and solo cello to come up with the right tone for the film . these instruments are accompanied by electronic textures , bringing back memories of yared\u2019s earliest scores from the 80s which are developed further here . the french - libanese musician melts the sorrowful main theme of the film , beautifully played by bogdan vacarescu , with sometimes harrowing and sensual electronic counterpoints , fusing score and source music and thus delivering one of his most original and complex works which is deeply touching even outside the film . the music was recorded at abbey road in london and is now available for the first time on cd . the 18th cd - release of caldera records features a detailed booklet - text by gergely hubai and elegant artwork by luis miguel rojas . the cd was produced by stephan eicke and john elborg .\ni have the right background to read this book . i know the bible more than the average person and i have been exposed to the holocause history more than the average person . that is who i would recommend this book to , those who find themselves in those two categories , there is so much shifting back and forth between reality and fantasy i am lkeft not fully knowing which was which . this was worth reading just for david king of israel and rex also known as adam . probably the kind of book id like or dislike a lot more on the second read .\nder jude adam stein ist ein \u00fcberlebender des holocaust - als clown angeheuert , musste er im konzentrationslager den kommandanten klein unterhalten , indem er sich wie ein hund verhalten und auch entsprechend leben musste . einige jahre sp\u00e4ter befindet er sich nun in einer hochmodernen heilanstalt , in der sich auch andere \u00fcberlebende des holocaust befinden , die einen seelischen schaden erlitten haben . das buch beschreibt die geschichte von adam stein , von seinem leben im konzentrationslager bis\nheute\n( allerdings nicht chronologisch ) . die gro\u00dfe frage ist dabei : wird er geheilt werden k\u00f6nnen ? die idee an sich fand ich wirklich gut , allerdings ist das buch nicht gerade leicht zu lesen . an manchen stellen erscheint es fast normal , aber dann gibt es teilweise passagen , die zwar gut den\nwahnsinn\nder patienten verdeutlichen , aber doch relativ anstrengend zu lesen sind , durch viele kurze , abgehackte s\u00e4tze , viele gedankenspr\u00fcnge und einem fliessenden \u00fcbergang zwischen realit\u00e4t und fiktion . manche seiten habe ich dann wirklich einfach nur \u00fcberflogen , vom inhalt verpasst man da sowieso nichts weiter . letztendlich ist das buch vom stil sicher gro\u00dfe geschmackssache und wer sich nicht damit anfreunden kann , wird wohl bereits nach einigen seiten das buch weglegen . . ."]}

filmed as the one in william s . hart ' s\ntumbleweeds\n( united artists , 1925 ) and is aided by a much better developed and engrossing story than hart ' s film . unfortunately ,\n3 bad men\nhasn ' t been available over the years as\nthe covered wagon\nand\ntumbleweeds\nhave . nevertheless , it is certainly deserving of some of the notoriety and praise that has been accorded these other films .\n3 bad men\nis truly one of the great epic westerns of the silent era . with this film , director john ford provided a worthy follow - up to his classic\nthe iron horse\n( fox film corp . , 1924 ) . although the film was praised by critics , it failed at the box office and did not recoup its $ 650 , 000 cost . however , dan ford says in his 1979 biography of his grandfather ( pappy : the life of john ford , prentice -

manned to resist . meanwhile , bandits monitor the wagons for weaknesses from afar like coyotes , and the eponymous three men who seek to rob the gold rushers are introduced silhouetted by the sun behind them , casting them in an ominous pall .\nwilliam s . hart may have been the one who popularized the good -

planar compositions , with contrasting movement in the foreground and background of his frames , but the moments that most clearly point to the filmmaker\u2019s future mastery lie in small character interactions . around lee , the three bandits turn into clumsy but avuncular figures , and their concern for the young woman extends to trying to find her a husband in a funny scene where they scour a saloon investigating men\u2019s teeth and physical attributes to find a suitable mate . elsewhere , ford\u2019s favoring of medium and long shots over close - ups magnifies the sexual tension between lee and dan ( george o\u2019brien ) , the handsome cowboy she meets at the start of the film . in perhaps the film\u2019s most arresting scene , he seems to lean in for a kiss , only to grab her head and wipe a smudge of mud off her face , and the shot lasts just long enough to capture a twinge of longing on lee\u2019s expression .\ni didn\u2019t then , and i still don\u2019t see it ; but maybe you do . according to the email , directing duo phil lord and chris miller were on board as producers and potential directors of that movie mash - up ; although , also per the emails , will smith and tommy lee jones would not be involved . there was no script ( back then ) , but , as the emails also revealed , the project was greenlit based on the concept alone . sony execs even sought steven spielberg\u2019s participation ( since he\u2019s the man behind the \u201cmen in black\u201d franchise ) , sending an email to his attorney , stating : \u201cwe didn\u2019t do as well as we had hoped for on the last mib film , but that hasn\u2019t caused us to lose faith in the franchise . in reality , the exact opposite has occurred where we all have an opportunity to take an interim step on the way to hopefully forging ahead again in the pure -

usher collapses completely . characters cannot move and act freely in the house because of its structure , so it assumes a monstrous character of its own\u2014the gothic mastermind that controls the fate of its inhabitants . poe , creates confusion between the living things and inanimate objects by doubling the physical house of usher with the genetic family line of the usher family , which he refers to as the house of usher . poe employs the word \u201chouse\u201d metaphorically , but he also describes a real house . not only does the narrator get trapped inside the mansion , but we learn also that this confinement describes the biological fate of the usher family . the family has no enduring branches , so all genetic transmission has occurred incestuously within the domain of the house . the peasantry confuses the mansion with the family because the physical structure has effectively dictated the genetic patterns of the family .\nmost readers of edgar allan poe\u2019s short

house of usher , a grim mansion surrounded by a tarn , for his fianc\u00e9e madeline usher . madeline ' s brother roderick opposed philip ' s intentions of getting married to madeline and taking her back to boston with him . he told phillip that the usher family is afflicted by a cursed bloodline which made all their ancestors mad , criminals , etc . he did not want the evils to spread through

depict evil . in the case of \u201cthe fall of the house of usher\u201d , for example , it was not evil that caused the mansion to collapse . it was fear and insanity . fear of a long , poisoned direct ancestry that haunts the living descendants each day , and the unhealthy mental mind of a product of that lineage , is what figuratively ended the house of usher , not evil . additionally , the

critical character and essential to the plot of the movie . the foreshadowing in the film was much more predictable than in the short story because it was easier for the viewers to see and feel what was coming next . after viewing the film , readers still felt that the book painted a broader picture because of poe\u2019s use of descriptive detail . throughout the film , there was a strong sense of anticipation and excitement which added to the suspense of the plot .\nstory : falling squarely into the arabesque camp , the fall of the house of usher is a gothic horror parable par excellence .

this time , he muses on the possibility that vegetables and fungi are sentient beings \u2014 that is , that they are conscious and capable of having feelings of their own . he feels that the growth around the house of usher has this peculiar ability to feel and sense matters within the house itself . this otherworldly atmosphere enhances poe ' s already grimly threatening atmosphere .\nthe story and the film both depicted the siblings\u2019 illness the same way . the film also implied that roderick may have viewed philip as a romantic rival , which suggested an incestuous relationship between madeline and roderick . they were not regarded as twins in the film and were not at all similar . in the film , phillip was preoccupied with madeline and fear . in the story , he spent most of his time reading , painting , and listening to roderick\u2019s music . his whole purpose of being there was to cheer roderick up .\nfilm - makers : roger corman ( b1926 ) started his film career as a messenger boy at twentieth century fox in 1948 , before starting to direct his own films in the mid - 1950s . beginning with apache woman ( 1955 ) , corman forged a relationship with independent producers samuel z arkoff and james h nicholson , and turned out huge numbers of cheap\nexploitation\nfilms . for house of usher , the film ' s original , more horror - movie - ish title , corman spent $ 270 , 000 , almost three times his usual budget . he could thus afford to hire vincent price , who had shot to horror movie fame in house of wax ( 1953 ) .\nthree years after her lover , rick usher , and her best friend , maddy usher , had suddenly disappeared from her life without explanation , jill masters receives a phone call with news of . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlike so many of poe ' s stories , the setting here is inside a closed environment . from the time the unnamed narrator enters the house of usher until the end of the story when he flees in terror , the entire story is boxed within the confines of the gloomy rooms on an oppressive autumn day where every object and sound is attenuated to the over - refined and over - developed sensitivities of roderick usher .\nthe narrator tells us that he fled from the chamber and from the entire mansion and , at some distance , he turned to look back in the light of the\nfull , setting and blood - red moon\n( emphasis mine ) and saw the entire house of usher split at the point where there was a zigzag fissure and watched as the entire house sank into the\ndeep and dank tarn\nwhich covered , finally , the\nfragments of the ' house of usher . '\nthere are more varying interpretations of this story than there are of almost any of poe ' s other works . for some of the widely differing interpretations , the reader should consult the volume twentieth - century interpretations of poe ' s\nfall of the house of usher .\none key to the story is , of course , the name of the main character . an usher is someone who lets one in or leads one in . thus , the narrator is ushered into the house by a bizarre - looking servant , and he is then ushered into roderick usher ' s private apartment and into his private thoughts . finally , usher also means doorkeeper , and as they had previously ushered lady madeline prematurely into her tomb , at the end of the story lady madeline stands outside the door waiting to be ushered in ; failing that , she ushers herself in and falls upon her brother .\nwas epstein\u2019s last to court the avant -

( bunuel eventually quit after a quarrel with epstein . )\nafter a long journey , philip arrives at the usher mansion seeking his loved one , madeline . upon arriving , however , he discovers that madeline and her brother roderick usher have been afflicted with a mysterious malady : roderick ' s senses have become painfully acute , while madeline has become catatonic . that evening , roderick tells his guest of an old usher family curse : any time there has been more than one usher child , all of the siblings have gone insane and died horrible deaths . as the days wear on , the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax .\na traveller arrives at the usher mansion to visit his old friend , roderick usher . upon arriving , however , he discovers that roderick and his sister , madeline , have been afflicted with a mysterious malady : roderick ' s senses have become painfully acute , while madeline has become nearly catatonic . that evening , roderick tells his guest of an old usher family curse : any time there has been more than one usher child , all of the siblings have gone insane and died horrible deaths . as the days wear on , the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax .\n( 1926 ) , which was also luis bu\u00f1uel\u2019s first film credit . among his commissioned works , epstein also further explored cinematic impressionism in his films ,\n. he died of a stroke in early april , 1953 , having just turned 56 years old . that same year henri langlois arranged a tribute to him at the cannes film festival .\nby victoria price , arkoff said ,\nroger had an answer . . . ' the house is the monster ! can ' t you see it ? it ' s the house ! ' . . . in the middle of shooting , roger made sure he had covered his bases . he asked vincent price to utter a couple of lines that he had written into the script at the last minute - ' the house lives ! the house breathes ! '\npoe next sets up a sense of the\ndouble\nor the ironic reversal when he has the narrator first see the house of usher as it is reflected in the\nblack and lurid tarn\n( a dark and gruesome , revolting mountain lake ) which surrounds it . the image of the house , you should note , is upside down . at the end of the story , the house of usher will literally fall into this tarn and be swallowed up by it . and even though poe said in his critical theories that he shunned symbolism , he was not above using it if such symbolism contributed to his effect . here , the effect is electric with mystery ; he says twice that the windows of the house are\neyelike\nand that the inside of the house has become a living\nbody\nwhile the outside has become covered with moss and is decaying rapidly . furthermore , the ultimate fall of the house is caused by an almost invisible crack in the structure , but a crack which the narrator notices ; symbolically , this is a key image . also central to this story is that fact that roderick and the lady madeline are twins . this suggests that when he buries her , he will widen the crack , or fissure , between them . this crack , or division , between the living and the dead will be so critical that it will culminate ultimately in the fall of the house of usher .\nafter a long journey , philip arrives at the usher mansion seeking his loved one , madeline . upon arriving , however , he discovers that madeline and her brother roderick usher have been afflicted with a mysterious malady : roderick ' s senses have become painfully acute , while madeline has become catatonic . that evening , roderick tells his guest of an old usher family curse : any time there has been more than one usher child , all of the siblings have gone insane and died horrible deaths . as the days wear on , the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax . written by jean - marc rocher and nina\nbut shooting something like the house , it ' s all a bit more up in the air .\nthis film set the template for the poe - corman - price series with its literate script , corman ' s effective direction , price ' s immersive emoting and brilliant employment of light and color .\nit is possible that poe wanted us to imagine that when usher tries to get rid of that other part of himself , the twin half , he is , in effect , signing his own death warrant . certainly at the end of the story , lady madeline falls upon him in an almost vampire - like sucking position and the two of them are climactically , totally one , finally united in the light of the full moon , by which the narrator is able to see the tumultuous fall of the house of usher .

i do have fond memories of her first\u2013\u2018above suspicion\u2019 . my favorite was \u2018the venetian affair\u2019 ( which was made into a mediocre movie starring robert vaughn ( fresh from his man from uncle gig ) and felecia farr ) . she did several non - spy things in the late \u201940s which are enjoyable\u2013\u2018friends and lovers\u2019 is a charming romance and \u2018rest and be thankful\u2019 is set in the american west .\nto prepare for a fiction class i recently taught , i re - read assignment in brittany which i had read back in the ' 70s . it was , as then , a wonderful read : good , old fashioned espionage . it says a great deal about a book when the major spy organizations in the uk made this book required reading for their agents . macinnes ' husband was in mi6 , and her book was so well done that the government suspected her husband of revealing classified information to helen . he had not ( tom clancy had the same exper\nreview taken from my blog , headsfilmreviews dot com helen macinnes was a remarkable woman . she was a scots presbyterian young lady of glasgow ( my mother ' s stomping grounds ) , degreed in french and german , a librarian , a classic german literature translator , a european traveler , an amateur actress and a wife of an mi6 british intelligence agent . she has a number of espionage thrillers to her name , and her second novel , assignment in brittany , reads as though she had been fully immersed in breton cu\ni like it , though the story is a bit far fetch setting at the time before the battle of britain , the british forces could hardly be in a position tosend commando raid to raid brittany . the story would be more creditable if it was set in 1942 - 43 .\nmacinnes knew spy craft very well , and if you were sharp you picked up some good observational advice . like how one guy was a bit too liberal with the use of cooking oil while everyone else in occupied france is scraping by and using as little as possible . that clue , combined with a few others , show that the cook might be in the pay of the enemy . assignment in brittany was full of practical little observations of that sort , which made it a useful training tool for men heading behind the lines . these are the details that shine .\nfrance may have signed an armistice with germany , but the british are still very interested in any suspicious german activity in the region of brittany . if the nazis are able to set up base along the coast here than things could get very bad for england . the intelligence office needs men to act as eyes , and hearne is the perfect choice . he has long been interested in brittany and its people because of his own cornish descent , and even studied for a year at the unversity in rennes before the war . in appearances he is a doppelganger to corlay , and can mimic the man\u2019s breton accent perfectly .\nduring the war a french officer ( jean - pierre aumont ) is assigned by the british to impersonate a lookalike who is in their custody so that he can go live with his mother ( marvellous margaret wycherly ) in his village in brittany in order to find the hiding place of nazi submarines . typical wartime propaganda marred by the romantic sub - plot as he romances susan peters while tackling nazis in their usual villainous mode . pretty dull .\nfascinating account of an english spy in brittany during wwii . the attention to detail necessary to pull off impersonating a known resident of the town is astounding . could this really happen ? i don ' t know , but it was a page turner .\noh , so retro ! these helen macinnes thrillers were everywhere when i was a teenager \u2014 she might even be comparable to the lee child of the era , which says a lot about cultural changes in the last 50 years . i never read them because they moved pretty slowly and because the proportion of romance to action was low for the teenage me . but assignment in brittany was a laundry - room acquisition and it fit the bill perfectly when i was laid low by a migraine .

- unncessarily , in my view . i am also shortsighted and i am absolutely sure that very little of the information we use to recognise people is visual . many great stories involve some sort of implausible impersonation , of course , so it ' s probably best to leave that to one side and plunge headlong into occupied rural france . the author takes us there by parachute and it ' s an exhilarating descent . i find the way helen macinnes writes to be very congenial . it is without humour , which is a bit dull , but she pays close attention to all the evocative little details that bring a place to life . reading one of her books is quite a sensual experience , which makes it especially frustrating to have to read a foetid old cast - off from a friend . but it ' s ok to read in the bath , especially if you can afford a liberal lacing of pungent lotions or oils . the story becomes more plausible as it develops and i enjoyed it more and more .\nwell -

- costing hundreds of thousands of lives , turning millions into refugees , and helping to give rise to the barbarically cruel islamic state \u2013 i was still shocked by the president\u2019s sudden about - face decision . in the week leading up to the decision not to strike , i had spent most of my waking hours on the phone with members of the media laying out all the reasons the united states should honor its \u201cred line\u201d in syria . i realized there is a difference in shaping talking points and policy , and i wanted to be on the other side of the coin .\nwith the nazi occupation of northern france , the underground resistance is forced to sneak about in the dark . hearne , british soldier whose french is excellent , is sent to spy as part of that resistance , and he finds help in hiding with the beautiful anne . danger abounds . action , adventure , suspense -

filled ending results in significant bloodshed .\ni am on a classic thrillers of the genre kick right now ( escapism ? ) - these early hm books are amazing . the characters and plots and writing all superb - utterly superb - and the pacing and density of the story remind me of how writing decades ago felt more meaty than a lot of similar genre fiction now . there is just no comparison between this and most modern thrillers - this is amazing . but the thing that is always in the back of my head is the view that macinnes , who was there in europe in the\nan engaging period thriller , written at the time it depicts , and so a valuable snapshot of the mood and details of its moment in time as well as a very readable diversion .\nthe dress : rachel wore a strapless lace gown by modern trousseau from jennifer\u2019s bridal in hockessin . she didn ' t have anything old , but her something new was her gown and shoes . she also didn ' t have anything borrowed , but her something blue was a hair clip that had a touch of blue to pick up the color in dan ' s tie .\ncan i send things to myself ahead of time ? no , packages can be sent only after you have checked in . deliveries attempted prior to august 26th will be returned to sender .\nplot : an english military intelligence guy named hearne parachutes into rural brittany in 1941 to spy on german troop movements . he adopts the identity of a wounded dunkirk evacuee , bertrand corlay , who is his physical double . hearne speaks perfect french , etc . etc . and gets a complete briefing so the substitution while suspenseful is not the main motor of the plot . so far , the novel reminded me of a minor but wonderful daphne dumaurier called the scapegoat : english guy drops into rural french setting and discovers that the french guy he\u2019s pretending to be is a real jerk . the spying plot proceeds with slow , methodical detail which i quite relished , but which certainly dated the book as an entertainment . though the biggest shock came when our hero hearne is looking at his double corlay\u2019s bookshelf and says to himself , \u201cbooks are half of the man . \u201d at which point i could not help thinking , \u201cnot anymore , pal . \u201d\ngreat review , jayne ! i have a few macinnes ebooks in the tbr . i was surprised how well rest and be thankful held up , and i\u2019m looking forward to rereading this one .\nyoung oxford university don richard myles and his wife frances are recruited to travel to europe during summer break in order to discover what has happened to a possibly -

war sentiments . we submit that on these undisputed facts of this case , the asserted governmental interest does not justify the regulation . if the executive officials genuinely contend that this diskette poses such a different threat from that created by the dissemination of the book itself , let them prove that contention in a forum where it can be tested , not through judicial reliance on untested assertions of their counsel .\nyou have installed an application that monitors or blocks cookies from being set . you must disable the application while logging in or check with your system administrator .\nit\u2019s your choice whether to provide handouts with your presentation . if you do , make sure they are integrated into your presentation and serve a clear purpose , not just information overload .\nif you\u2019ve already done that , your item hasn\u2019t arrived , or it\u2019s not as described , you can report that to etsy by opening a case .\nyou must select an existing treasury or provide a name for your new treasury .\nvisit the website to volunteer or call 816 . 756 . 1858 , x 561\n- has a chance to lock the doors and or require hot - wiring .\nwhile amusing real - life incidents often translate well directly to the visually - oriented worlds of film and tv , they do not always work equally well on the pages of a book .\nit also tends to reward writers who take the time to learn the ropes . by selecting the contests that meet your current needs , rather than entering blindly or with an all - or - nothing attitude , you can greatly increase the probability that entering will do you good .\nbut all you need do to observe this revival in action is look at the bookshelves in your local shop or channel surf . witches , hauntings , and all things paranormal are back in fashion .\nit\u2019s also true , though , that any contest credential ( or , to a lesser extent , publication credit ) for a short piece or poem tends not to impress millicent the agency screener as much as than winning or publishing a longer piece . in general , the adulation is substantially greater for winners of categories rewarding entire books .\nkass lamb ( on behalf of misterio press ) : we like to start with a \u201ctell us about yourself\u201d question . what two or three things do people need to know in order to understand who you are ?\n, you ( the writer ) wish to leave such choices up to the gm which is a perfectly fine thing to do .\nin most cases , we used \u2018meta : giveoverview\u2019 to code theoretical or historical introductions to dh itself , though any explicit mention of theory was coded ( or also coded ) as \u2018theorizing\u2019 . we found that all dh programs , whether in program descriptions or required courses , included some mention of theory or historical / systematic overview ( see figure 8 ) .\nnot necessarily . if the narrative does not adequately convey what was humorous in that real - life incident , it\u2019s going to fall flat on the page .\nimaging refers to the capture of texts , images , artefacts or spatial formations using optical means of capture . imaging can be made in 2d or 3d , using various means ( light , laser , infrared , ultrasound ) . imaging usually does not lead to the identification of discrete semantic or structural units in the data , such as words or musical notes , which is something datarecognition accomplishes . imaging also includes scanning and digital photography .\nso now i don\u2019t know what to do . i think i could finish the proposal in another month or so \u2014 i have some vacation coming up \u2014 but if he\u2019s lost interest , shouldn\u2019t i be moving on ?\nbelieve it or not , writers often do send quite definite messages about their attitudes at the querying stage . take , for instance , the querier who shrinks the query\u2019s typeface in order to cram more information into a one -

( appellant ' s brief at 6 - 13 ) the appellees do not argue that any of the issues raised here are non - justiciable . we also argued that judge richey erred in raising , sua sponte , an issue of standing in declining to rule on mr . karn ' s facial challenge under the first amendment to the itar regulations . ( appellant ' s br . at 36 - 37 ) again the executive officials do not take issue with our position and do not attempt to defend that aspect of judge richey ' s ruling .\nyou said you enjoy doing research . what\u2019s the oddest or most interesting thing you\u2019ve ever researched ?\non a few words about the virtues of continuity , or , so long , mr . b\nor 15 , or 50 , or whatever length the requesting agent / contest rules / submission guidelines indicated . which , from a professional reader\u2019s perspective , is a pretty insulting assumption : honestly , someone who handles manuscripts for a living or has judged more than a single contest entry would have to be awfully unobservant to think that . no one who asks for 10 pages expects a ten - page scene ; they want to see if you can write . if an agent or contest wants to read an entire chapter or manuscript , it will ask for it point - blank .\ntrust me , that\u2019s not something you want to find out after you\u2019ve already printed out your submission \u2014 or when you are right on top of a deadline . if you\u2019re in doubt about the internal size of a flattened - out box ( as they tend to be at the post office ) , fold it into box shape and try placing a standard sheet of paper flat on the bottom . if it doesn\u2019t lie completely flat , choose a larger box .\n: : : : : : i am interested in this use of the word ' spindle ' . if i understand you correctly , this device is what i would know as a ' spike ' . this side of the atlantic the spike was used not for items pending , but for those which were rejected ; specifically in the world of journalism : editors would impale substandard or otherwise unused copy on the spike - hence a story being ' spiked ' .\ndo bear in mind , though , that for either a query or submission packet , you want to have your pages arrive looking fresh and unbent . double - check that your manuscript will fit comfortably in its container in such a way that the pages are unlikely to wrinkle , crease , or \u2014 perish the thought ! \u2014 tear .\nyour browser does not support cookies . try a different browser if you suspect this .\nrealistically , publishing houses do not acquire books simply because someone went to the trouble to write them . nor , contrary to pervasive speculation amongst aspiring writers , will readers pick up a book simply because somebody happened to write it .\nactually , in this instance , you should send only the first 50 pages even if they do not end in a period . even if the designated last page ends mid - sentence , stop there . when an agent or editor asks for a specific number of pages , send that number of pages \u2014 no more , no less .\nso there\u2019s another tip for those planning to give or conduct video interviews : don\u2019t sit under a large , bug - attracting tree . or add nice , juicy chunks of fruit to your iced tea .\n,\nflyer\n, a\n. pdf\n; or a\n. gif\nis\nfor fees and forms . notarized copies of original forms accepted ( except for expiring or expired passport )\nthe original concept of the mod is more or less the same . there are five mission types :\nthis product is meant for educational purposes only . any resemblance to real persons living or dead is purely\nkass lamb ( on behalf of misterio press ) : we like to start with a somewhat open - ended , \u201ctell us about yourself\u201d question . what two or three things do you feel people need to know in order to understand who you are ?\n\u201ctypically when i study , do research , or write papers , i end up waiting until the last minute . this isn\u2019t really a voluntary practice , i just can\u2019t find the motivation to prioritize long term assignments until the deadline begins closing in . \u201d\neducate the public about greyhounds as pets at adoption events , do home visits , foster , help at fund - raisers and attend quarterly volunteer meetings .\nnaturally , marketability is not the primary orientation of every writing contest that accepts book - length work ( or portions thereof ) , but it weighs heavily in the scoring more often than not . there\u2019s a pretty good reason for that , too : it\u2019s not unusual for the final judges of a contest to be the exact same agents and editors who appear at the attached conference .\noh , you wanted a long answer , too ? here goes : the norm of swift judgments means that it\u2019s not reasonable to expect your work to be evaluated as a whole , at least not at first . if the opening of the manuscript or book proposal does not grab millicent , it\u2019s safe to assume that she will not read on . so if you have limited revision time at your disposal , it\u2019s smart strategy to concentrate on the first 50 pages of your manuscript \u2014 the usual initial request from an agent \u2014 or , in a pinch , the first 5 .\nbecause books are not toasters . we don\u2019t just buy one every few years . they are more like clothes . ( or for some of us , food ! ) we need a sustainable supply .\nand half of you are once again rolling your eyes . \u201ctalk about the improbable made possible ! \u201d you hoot . \u201cthis could not possibly be common in contest entries or submissions to agencies ! \u201d\nyes , even in otherwise well - written entries . and that\u2019s over and above the problems any given entry might encounter by not being written in the contest\u2019s preferred style , voice , or genre .\nthat , too , has serious implications for revision . it\u2019s not at all difficult to picture a new york - based editor furiously scribbling in uncle charles\u2019 margins . \u201cwhich was it \u2014 the best of times or the worst of times ? it could hardly have been both ; it\u2019s the author\u2019s job to show us , not the reader\u2019s job to guess . commit to one or the other ! \u201d\nwork at community recycling centers , help with litter pickup and do other environmental projects and special events .

he thought i was telling him to do the precise opposite of what i actually advised .\nwell , if the book honestly does contain elements that would render it less marketable , and those elements are not so critical to the story arc or nf argument that they did not trigger rejection all by themselves , this writer is probably right : it would be a good agent\u2019s job to advise him how to maximize the book\u2019s marketability . writers do , after all , seek out agents because of the latter\u2019s expertise in selling books to publishing houses , right ?\n; so all you need to do is look at what classes you want , and add up the numbers next to them . then use that number below .\nbut she did not have two years ; she had six months . and grace had , as acquiring editors of nonfiction so often do , asked for a few changes to the book\u2019s proposed running order . as well as some minor tweaks to the voice .\nand having written this blog post , i now feel better . not great , but better .\ni see this as a minor convenience for the gm , not something that adventures desperately need .\nwell - meaning folks sometimes say , \u201cwell , look at what others are dealing with ? they have it much worse . \u201d sure one can usually find those whose life challenges are far worse than one\u2019s own . but comparing one\u2019s own pain to others is not mentally healthy , believe it or not .\nlike , say , diane . i think that grace was doing her a favor , actually : most memoir readers would be more critical than she of a memoir that got bogged down in mundanties . when is it better for a writer to hear a hard truth like that , do you think \u2014 early enough in the publication process that she can do something about it , or after the book comes out , in the online reviews ?\nverbal anecdotes generally feature too little detail or context to be funny when reproduced as is onto the printed page .\n\u2022 the museum needs friendly people age 19 or older who can commit to at least 8 hours per month .\n\u2022 memorial contributions may be made to the cat association of topeka , or to the helping hands humane society .\n, memorials to the st . louis family resource center or st . louis - stuttgart sister cities are requested .\nnor does sentence structure typically make or break an anecdote . summary statements can work just fine . indeed , it\u2019s not unheard - of for every sentence of a perfectly marvelous anecdote to begin with the phrase i was\u2026\ni can change anything i like in a published adventure however it should not be the default position of the author or publisher that i must spend my hobby time filling in the holes they left in the adventure .\nwhich is why it\u2019s vital that you know up front : it\u2019s not all that uncommon for publishers to expect their authors to pay for that copy aunt marge expects you to hand her , signed . yes , you can usually buy them at a substantial discount , but do be aware that any copies you buy that way will not count toward the book\u2019s sales totals .\nmisaligned expectations , i\u2019m afraid : dewey just didn\u2019t understand what his role in their relationship would be , other than writing . because that was what he was prepared to do , he got antsy every time he didn\u2019t have an assignment on his plate ; he didn\u2019t have a constructive outlet for all of that nervous energy . so he focused it on prodding paulette into a job that she already knew perfectly well how to do \u2014 which , in turn , took up enough of her time and energy that she felt , not unreasonably , that his demands were making it harder for her to do that job .\nthe publication contract specified a not unusually short time in which to complete the manuscript : six months .\neveryone loves art ! whether it ' s painting , sculpting , crafting , molding , or even a macaroni and glue combination made by a child , art is a wonderful release for all ages ! at our communities , we are on the lookout for creative individuals who can work with groups of our seniors or youth and teach them a new way to express themselves . why not share that love of writing or sketching or collaging with a excited audience ? with as little as one time a month , you could share a love of art with our appreciative residents !\nwe used to do that with plain old paper clips , randomly across the card . it always got you a phone call from whatever company you sent the card to .\nbut most aspiring writers and contest entrants don\u2019t think of that , do they ?

i\u2019m going to look at the most reoccurring themes and terms . organize the content by those subjects and use that in the presentation . my reasoning behind this , is if this the more popular content among different sources than this must be what is more important . \u201d\ni would also think twice about entering a piece that does not exhibit your best writing within the first couple of pages , regardless of whether it is a short piece or a long one . you\u2019d be amazed at how many entries judges see that consist of perfectly adequate prose , but not writing that jumps off the page .\nwe accept paypal and direct checkout through etsy . we will also accept postal money orders . money orders should be sent right away and received within 7 days of purchase . if not , or if we have not heard from you , we will cancel the sale and the item will be returned to our\nshelves\n.\nclassifications : hhow do various reports and organizations rate or rank the country in terms of iinternet freedom ?

most aspiring writers need to be reminded , i\u2019ve noticed , what is good about their work . or even told what the selling points for their books are .\nwhy especially ? well , what is funny in real life is often not amusing on the page , at least not to someone who was not privy to the actual event . there\u2019s a reason , after all , that \u201cyou had to be there , i guess , \u201d is so commonly uttered by anecdotalists the world over : real - life funny often arises from mishaps , actions out of character , or events whose comic juxtapositions would be entirely lost upon a bystander who is not already intimately familiar with the players and their respective situations .\noh , dear . here comes another bubble . there\u2019s a reason one so seldom hears this platitude falling from the lips of agents and editors at conferences anymore : it\u2019s no longer true . good writing most emphatically does not always find a home \u2014 not at an agency , and certainly not at a publishing house .\na method which aims to relate a number of elements or ideas into a coherent system based on some general principles and capable of explaining relevant phenomena or observations . theorizing relies on techniques such as reasoning , abstract thinking , conceptualizing and defining . a theory may be implemented in the form of a model , or a model may give rise to formulating a theory .\nnot just writing that\u2019s pretty good , or prose that you think might catch an agent\u2019s eye . or the first 20 pages of a novel that starts to sing by page 62 . if the writing you\u2019re planning to submit to a contest doesn\u2019t bring a tear to your eye , cover you in goosebumps , and make you murmur fervent gratitude to the deity of your choice that you were privileged to write it , it does not belong in an entry .\nan excellent question , jen : many , many aspiring writers worry that a simple manila envelope , or even the heavier - duty priority mail envelope favored by the us postal service , will not preserve their precious pages in pristine condition . especially , as is all too common , if those pages are crammed into an envelope or container too small to hold them comfortably , or that smashes the sase into them so hard that it leaves an indelible imprint in the paper .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nthere are many reasons why a cookie could not be set correctly . below are the most common reasons :\nsecond , make a list of the people you give gifts to and which gifts you plan to buy / have bought / have ordered , etc . for each person . no need to stress over whether or not \u2026 read more\nwe characterized students\u2019 journal pacing quality as excellent , good , fair , or poor . excellent pacing described journals with posts spread evenly throughout the project . good pacing described journals with posts occurring every week of the project , but with some posts closely grouped on consecutive days or even on the same day . fair pacing denoted journals with some posts closely grouped on consecutive days or the same days and some multi - day or week - long stretches with no posts . poor pacing referred to journals with posts primarily grouped on just a few consecutive days or the same days and no posts for long stretches of time .\nnot ones who do not already know the author personally , at any rate . and while i hate to raise any doubt in your mind about your aunt marge\u2019s support of your writing aspirations , but don\u2019t count on her being willing to buy your book when it is published . kith and kin have an understandable but nasty habit of expecting the author they love to provide them with free copies .\nsecondly , i do have a lot of other interests , from knitting to designing my dream house to singing in my church choir . when i was younger and fitter , i led a renaissance dance troupe for a couple of years . so i\u2019m a nerd but not a narrow nerd .\ntranslation : \u201cbut it made my friend / significant other / bus driver laugh out loud ! \u201d is not a reliable indicator of whether mehitabel the veteran contest judge or millicent the agency screener will find something funny on the manuscript page .\nout comes the road map again : if there isn\u2019t an arresting image , great twist , or lovely sentence on page 1 , even in a book - length entry , it\u2019s probably not going to end up in the finalist pile .\ntaken together , these two accounts form quite a sad little story , do they not ? huey was lucky enough to find an agent ( and a millicent ) genuinely taken by his book concept \u2014 but he was not ready to take advantage of it . while montrose\u2019s conclusion that huey just hadn\u2019t done enough homework about how nonfiction is sold might not have been entirely correct , it\u2019s hard to argue that the effect of the writer\u2019s not having taken the necessary steps to learn how to write a book proposal amounted to the same thing , in practical terms . yet montrose did , by his lights , do all he could to help , and rather more than most would have done in this situation : being a good memoir agent , realized that proposal - writing is a professional skill , and thus not something even the most gifted memoirist is born knowing , so he provided his potential client with both encouragement and guidelines .\ni hate to break it to you , but either way , an over - sender deliberately disregards a request for a specific number of pages . that\u2019s not only difficult , from the recipient\u2019s perspective ; that\u2019s rude . not only does including the extra pages imply an expectation that the agent , millicent , or contest judge will make time to read them , but also \u2014 you might want to sit down for this one \u2014 a belief that the person requesting that number of pages just didn\u2019t understand that not every manuscript will feature a section or chapter break at the bottom of page 10 .\nso if that protagonist is too passive to ask relevant questions the reader wants to know , or not sufficiently nuanced in his worldview to be able to observe in useful detail , or too unpleasant to be good company for a few hundred pages , the reader may feel slightly cheated . yes , even if the plot is very exciting : would you want to go on a tour of a haunted house with a guide that steered you away from the dark corners , did not seem to know much about the house\u2019s history , or declared every fifteen seconds that anyone who believed in ghosts was an idiot ?\n5 . author bio , if one was requested . an author bio is a one - page ( double - spaced ) or half - page ( single - spaced ) plus photo account of the submitting writer\u2019s professional credentials . typically , when an agent submits a manuscript or book proposal to editors , the author bio is tucked immediately at the end of the manuscript or sample chapter .\nvolunteers ( 15 or older ) guide children through the museum and answer questions . estimated service time is two hours a day .\n; beginning between two and 2 : 30 or whenever you can get there ; there may be signs reserving our tables . this will give you time to order a drink and / or food and settle down with your friends before the great music starts ;\nso , i would say that a complete restored score or a re - recording is among the holiest of my holy grails .\nhe reads the paper\u2019s report and realizes the woman he killed did not fit the description of the classifieds ad .\nwith skin . sanitized for your protection . slightly higher west of the mississippi . employees and their families are not\npull down . call toll free number before digging . driver does not carry cash . some of the trademarks mentioned\nsurprised not to see a post on formatting occupying this space , campers ? you should be : for the past seven years , i have embraced the decline of the old year and the advent of the new as an opportunity to provide the members of the author ! author ! community with a solid explanation of something that new writers are simply expected to know how to do before they even consider approaching an agent . for some reason that defies human understanding , formatting a book manuscript or proposal as the pros do is implicitly regarded as piece of practical know - how the literature fairy bestows on talented writers at birth .\nin your queries and pitches , stick to the information that millicent actually needs in order to decide whether to request pages . as submitting writers are all too prone to forget , publishing is a business , not an art form \u2014 agents and editors acquire books they believe are marketable , not just ones they believe are well - written . and as i have mentioned several hundred times before , they do not \u2014 contrary to the hope of most submitting writers \u2014 read the entire submission before making up their minds on either point ."]}

spech , founder of the african diaspora film festival in new york and one of the judges at the durban film festival . \u201cafrican cinema is not geared toward art and acting . stories are not written for african actors , black actors . \u201d and the limited roles often go to black american or british actors whose faces are more familiar to movie audiences .\nwhat is your favorite memory as an actor ? as soon as i was in l ' enfant d ' en -

mauritian film that drew oscar and palme d\u2019or nominations and won a slew of international awards , including a best actor award for pino at the durban film festival . his acting was captivating , and why not ? the story of the mali desert capital being overtaken by jihadists echoed his own life . he offers a simpler explanation : \u201cthey just told me to act naturally , so i asked myself how john malkovich would do it , \u201d he says .\nbiopics are often sure -

lived flip camera . but it took him a long time to evolve the rigorous style of lady macbeth . \u201cthe first short i made was a scene from a play . i shot it in a field from one angle , because that was where i was used to sitting in a theatre . i thought , why doesn\u2019t this work ? \u201d\nif dope was a sundance darling , me and earl and the dying girl was its shining star , winning the festival ' s grand jury prize as well as its audience award ( read : almost everyone loved this movie ) . even with an outstanding trio of young actors leading this film , the emerging star of the show was undoubtedly mann , who you may recognize from the 2012 comedy project x . thankfully , the 23 year old actor seems to be a bit choosier with his scripts these days .\nthe events of the film fit right into the middle of the star wars timeline , which will get even more complicated with several planned sequels and spinoffs hitting theaters in the coming years . star wars fans measure time in the universe relative to the battle of yavin , the clash that led to the destruction of the first death star in a new hope . events that take place before that battle are called bby ( before the battle of yavin ) , those after aby ( after the battle of yavin ) .\nbut the real star of the show was blue the raptor , whose character arc rivaled and at times out - shined those of howard ' s claire dearing and pratt ' s owen grady . blue ' s personal connection to grady ( her\ntrainer\nat the start of the film ) was put to the test several times , with widely - varying outcomes . by the time the third act came around , her loyalties were unclear , giving what could have been a ludicrous final showdown an interesting twist and honest emotional weight .\nhugh keays - byrne - immortan joe in mad max : fury road : the 67 year old australian proved to be a truly formidable foe for max ( tom hardy ) and furiosa ( charlize theron ) . having played the principal antagonist in two mad max films to date , keays - bryne is unlikely to appear in any potential sequels , but chances are good that the actor will make an appearance in the documentary of george miller ' s canceled justice league film , should the project get the official green - light from warner bros .\nyou ' re young and already have enjoyed a great career . how do you deal with success ? i grew up with cinema and unfortunately didn ' t realize the chance i was given right away . i gained notoriety quite quickly in switzerland and i was awkward at times . i started in movies 11 years ago and i ' ve had the opportunity to be part of wonderful , beautiful movies . i dropped out of school very young and i ' ve never known anything other than film sets . sometimes , it scares me a little .\nwhat film has shaken you the most ? so many . in terms of aesthetics and poetry , i ' m a big fan of jim jarmusch , i really loved permanent vacation . one of my favorite movies is last days by gus van sant , it inspired me for being 17 . in that movie loneliness is perfectly represented , real loneliness , the one before death . the camera stays far from the actors , but you feel part of the movie , as if you were with him , feeling his loneliness . i think that ' s very poetic .\nwhere is all this coming from , you ask ? though vikander has been in the game for the better part of a decade now , she can largely attribute her increased acting profile to a pair of recent performances . her true breakthrough came in ex machina , where she portrayed a highly - advanced artificial intelligence with hidden intentions . the film premiered in april to rave reviews , with vikander ' s performance receiving particular praise . and although the man from u . n . c . l . e . hasn ' t exactly wowed at the box office so far , vikander and her costars gave underrated and entirely respectable efforts .\nthe subject matter wasn ' t for everyone , but there ' s no denying that powley did a wonderful job with her first leading movie role . the directorial debut for marielle heller , the diary of a teenage girl is a smart , incredibly well - handled film about the sexual awakening of a 15 year old girl . powley ( who ' s actually 23 ) brilliantly navigates the choppy waters of adolescence with a brutal sense of unrelenting honesty . the british native more than holds her own performing alongside veteran costars like kristen wiig , christopher meloni , and alexander skarsg\u00e5rd , and should receive her share of attention come awards season .\nis a contemporary coming - of - age movie set against the music of today ' s worlddance , electronic , festival anthems , pop , trap , hip - hop , and , some edm as well . we all worked hard to choose tracks that were not only best for the story but also contributed to a balanced mix of the many different genres that fit under the wide umbrella of dance / electronic music . the art of djing is mixing disparate songs together seamlessly to create an emotional journey that you can dance to and i believe we ' ve done that ! ,\nsays the film ' s director max joseph .\nmost recently , odessa starred in the thriller assassination nation alongside suki waterhouse , hari nef , and abra . the film follows the story of four teen girls whose personal information is leaked by an anonymous hacker , causing them to become the focus of global media attention .\nthat was one of the hardest jobs i\u2019ve ever had to do ,\nshe admits . \u201ci was pushed to my limits . it was such a challenge , but it was also really supportive . we were all there together and we were all kind of going through this new method together . the girls and i became so close and such great friends . \u201d\nin his 2009 encyclopedia of human rights , david p . forsythe says art inspired by war and other degradation is of \u201cimmense importance , \u201d because \u201cit can speak in ways universally understood , often where no other form of speech is possible . \u201d from the poets of ancient greece to picasso\u2019s haunting guernica to the revival of once - repressed cultural traditions in postcolonial africa , generations of artists have proven his point . for pino and many other malians , music , a fundamental aspect of their culture banned by jihadist forces , has been their primary weapon of resistance , carried with them as they fled . their struggle is captured in another newly released film , the documentary they will have to kill us first : malian music in exile .\nwithout a doubt . it was complex in its morals and values , emotionally charged and really far from my way of living and acting . arthur harari , who ' s a great director , took me by the hand . his cinema has nothing to do with the cinema we know . at first sight , you could say he ' s on the same line than pialat , rohmer , or renoir in a very naturalistic way . but he ' s also a real formalist with a true vision . his aesthetic fuels his narrative . his cinema is both personal and popular . while watching , you will first think his message is crystal clear : it ' s a film about revenge . but in it , universal and personal stories coexist .\ndoing what you do takes patience . i always say that i ' m not doing this for fame but because it ' s my passion . if the film is a success that ' s great , if it ' s not , i will continue anyway . i need time to evolve . i ' m going to study at the conservatoire , and after those three years i will be free to play whatever i want . studying at the conservatoire will allow me to play freely . for me , every art has a base . i have been doing classical dance , which for me is the basis of every type of dance . theatre is the same . i need confront myself with the greatest texts , the greatest authors . the conservatoire will allow me to make mistakes , to lose myself , to play different characters .\nalma - sofia miettinen , known professionally as alma , had her first taste of a professional music career at age 16 when she appeared on the seventh season of finnish idols in 2013 . she placed fifth , and went on to record an ep , dye my hair , which she released in 2015 . \u201cit shows a good mixture of what i can do , \u201d says alma , whose neon hair and dark , punky style perfectly accompany her eccentric pop sound . \u201ci wanted to put out all of the tracks i\u2019d done so my fans could see and hear my musical journey . \u201d since then , she\u2019s been traveling and playing shows and recently lent her voice to martin solveig\u2019s song , \u201call stars , \u201d which was released in june . look out for her debut album that\u2019s in the works \u2014 charli xcx is lending her hand to the project , so you know it\u2019ll be a can ' t -

- streets , facades , cafes - - was built as a set outside prague . it ' s one of those movie neighborhoods not crowded with extras . like the street in spike lee ' s\ndo the right thing ,\nit ' s a place where everyone knows one another ; the street ' s a stage , and the neighbors are players on it . they all know about monsieur tsf ( pierre richard ) , nicknamed after a french broadcasting station . he never leaves his room , but the jazz on his radio keeps everyone humming .\nif this sounds like bleak fare , it is . in fact , most of the movie ' s themes are very dark , which should not be surprising given that it begins with that murder confession . still , paris 36 strives , with considerable success , to balance its darkness , not just with humor but also with visual flamboyance : colorful costumes and happily artificial sets . its musical flair is reserved for its specific performance moments : jojo playing his accordion on the street , exuberant group rehearsals , and , of course , shows at the chansonia . during these performances , swirling camera action lightens the mood considerably , but such moments remain contained , never spilling over into the\nreal life\ndrama taking place off stage .\nthe plot , located in a neighbourhood in the 15th arrondissement in paris , conformed primarily by design offices belonging to the automotive industry , is deep and irregular in its shape , and was occupied by an office building that gave on to the street and two workshops that gave on to the interior patio . the scales considered for this project surpass the simple question of the building itself ; this project consistent of 36 apartments situated around a long patio that the inhabitants walk along and that others who live on higher levels , further away can observe . this interval brings structure and order to a number of buildings built on the same lot , which only apparent remain , is the restored hall that stretches out across the patio . \u201d\nbrook ' s 1963 film of lord of the flies is regarded as a classic , but the poor reception in britain of a 1978 stage production of antony and cleopatra , starring alan howard and glenda jackson , heralded a long period of work at the dilapidated former variety venue in paris .\nin a popular suburb of paris in 1936 , the spring election of a left -

collar neighborhood . on new year ' s eve 1935 , he faced a series of endings : a deadline to pay a debt to gangsters , the end of his marriage , and the suicide of dorfeuil ( jean lescot ) , the chansonia ' s owner . at that moment , pigoil recalls , the chansonia was shut down , putting him and his fellow employees out of work .\nset in a suburb of north -

vietnam play us , and finally with a midsummer night ' s dream , starring frances de la tour and ben kingsley . his guiding principle , regarded as startling at the time , was that the stage should be left uncluttered so the imagination could work . his 1968 handbook , the empty space , set out the idea that the audience is central to the atmosphere of a piece . elaborate sets , according to this theory , just divide the actors from the public .\nfriday night ' s performance of mozart ' s the magic flute was the 85 -

of - age comedy adventureland .\nirector greg mottola plays old songs in new keys and strikes dissonant , unsettling notes . his\n\u2014the drive to get laid existing side by side with the dread of the world where that leads . ( the grown - ups were scarily unhinged . )\n, which mottola wrote , is a coming - of - age picture made strange by its setting and the graceful tremulousness of its actors . it\u2019s 1987 , and the protagonist , james ( jesse eisenberg ) , is stuck in a pittsburgh suburb with his parents between college and graduate school , working game booths in a dilapidated amusement park . still a virgin , he falls hard for em lewin ( kristen stewart ) , who\u2019s secretly carrying on with connell ( ryan reynolds ) , the park\u2019s too - cool , married fix - it guy . all the characters are old enough to live on their own but are still in the rooms they had as kids ( the exception , connell , uses his mom\u2019s basement for trysts ) , and they\u2019re chafing miserably at their dependence . adventureland ( the park ) offers little in the way of liberation . the creaky rides with their deafening disco music seem adventure - free .\nadventureland isn\u2019t funereal , though\u2014it\u2019s light on its unhappy feet . eisenberg has been playing arrested heroes for a while , and he\u2019s canny enough never to let you catch him drooping . his face is a fount of uncertainty between a helmet of curly hair and a big adam\u2019s apple ; his skinny frame lists from side to side as if he\u2019s unable to muster the will to show gravity who\u2019s boss ; he has to contort to conceal his erections . what makes james so fascinating ( and dismaying ) is his compulsive blabbing ; there\u2019s nothing too personal he won\u2019t say with the least bit of prodding . or no prodding . it all gushes out\u2014his virginity , his crushes , his heartbreaks . the scenes in which he breathlessly confides in the older connell about his dates with em make you cringe , because his words make connell want em more . ( the advice connell dispenses is meant to sabotage him . ) the only mystery about james is that women find him attractive instead of embarrassing , ostensibly because he\u2019s different from all the inconstant bad boys . mottola is smart to provide a contrasting defeatist geek , joel ( martin starr ) , who cultivates a nihilistic detachment . at least james is in the world , absurdly hopeful , taking chances .\nadventureland isn\u2019t just a boys\u2019 life . many scenes incorporate em\u2019s perspective , and kristen stewart ( late of twilight ) seems more alive than she did opposite the vampire hunk with the tall forehead . she doesn\u2019t over - diagram em\u2019s emotions ; her murk is vivid . it\u2019s too bad mottola writes the adult parts so on - the - nose : it\u2019s one thing for em to describe her stepmother as a \u201cstatus - obsessed witch , \u201d another to have the actress telegraph that description in every line . and it\u2019s a letdown when the movie doesn\u2019t do more with snl \u2019s loony minimalists bill hader and kristen wiig as the park\u2019s owners . ( see wiig in ghost town to appreciate how uproarious a teeny - weeniest of inflections can be . )\nbut adventureland hits home\u2014at least my home . mottola pumps up the soundtrack with music\u2014the replacements , h\u00fcsker d\u00fc\u2014i listen to when i want that old eighties feeling . i actually have a james - like impulse to blab about my identification with the movie\u2019s needy , overintellectualizing hero : i could feel in my bones his self - disgust as he lay on his bed in his parents\u2019 house , alienated from their values and lifestyle yet comfortable , too . ( he doesn\u2019t have to pay rent . ) what makes the movie such an unexpectedly potent little number is that adventureland comes to stand for stagnationland ; the real roller coaster ( i . e . , life ) is just outside the park .\nis set , but for the petit bourgeois mind - set that settles for its bogus comforts .\nby placing your order or playing a video , you agree to our terms of use . sold by amazon digital services llc . additional taxes may apply .\ngood watch . i enjoyed it so that ' s all that matters to me .\ngreat movie , great music , great acting , great photograph , great direction . in few words\nce magnifique\nseveral years ago i had the occasion to watch les choristes and it anointed my soul . i was curious to see also other movies of director christophe barratier , and so i came on . . .\nseveral days after watching this movie , i finally decided that i was not entirely satisfied with what i had watched . i wanted more , and there is a large gap that is missing .\nbeautiful crafted musical during the hard early thirties in which the entire europe was collapsing due the crucial events to come .\nthis sugary musical tells the story of a parisian music hall in 1936 . the place is failing , threatened by a ruthless landlord who makes common cause with fascists and an . . .\nquit fussing and use subtitles . . . go to special features to see how & why this comes to fruitation . . . since see how and where ! ! ! !\nprime members enjoy free two - day shipping and exclusive access to music , movies , tv shows , original audio series , and kindle books .\nto offer you a better experience , this site uses cookies , even from third parties .\nby closing the pop - up , you consent to the use of cookies . for more information consult our"]}

( japanese with english subtitles ) based onthea popular videogame series , this film follows a group of small - town teenagers get trapped in a sadistic amusement park game that turns out to be a death trap run by a demonic clown .\na group of seven random players are chosen to participate in the next ' twilight syndrome ' game created by makino shuzo . this time , it is at an amusement park , known as the twilight zone .\ni have been a fan of the twilight syndrome series of games for a while now and was pretty hyped when i first heard about this . after seeing the trailer i was pretty disappointed , its obviously been shot on a very low budget and fell pretty short of what i had been hoping for . for those that don ' t know , twilight syndrome are a bunch of games where some kids ( usually girls ) get in over their heads with some urban legends and have to solve the mysteries while avoiding getting killed by some ghost or another . two movies were made to coincide with the release of a new ds game and so dead go round and its twin dead cruise both use ds ' s as a plot gimmick . with its rather short run time ( just over an hour ) , dead go round manages to keep a decent pace , have a memorable villain and be kind of charming in the way that low budget horror can only be . yes the special effects are terrible and the acting is so - so but by the end i was entertained and will now buy dead cruise on dvd also ( provided i find it in a bargain bin ) .\ntwilight syndrome receives a notable reference in the kazutaka kodaka game danganronpa 2 : goodbye despair , in which the primary antagonist monokuma develops a fangame of the series entitled twilight syndrome : murder case , which the characters ( and therefore player ) have the opportunity to play . the graphics , gameplay and story all invoke the classic series , and the game is vital in solving a murder mystery within danganronpa 2 . this is referenced again in the danganronpa 3 anime , with the caption\nbeginning of the twilight\nwhen the show begins to go over the events that inspired monokuma ' s fangame .\nthe syndrome series is a series of games developed and published by human entertainment . the first three were written and directed by suda51 :\ni know most japanese horror movies are a bit . . . on the cheap side , so of course this wasn ' t very scary , and there wasn ' t much of a mystery , which is what twilight syndrome ( video game ) series is known for in japan .\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 .\nthese were the first games he wrote after the wrestling games . these three games set the stage for kill the past and are generally considered the very beginning of the series , and characters from them would go on to play minor roles in grasshopper manufacture games .\nreview : who did the marketing for these movies ? does that poster say\nplease buy me\nto anyone ? ! as i mentioned in the review for\ndead cruise ,\nthis is the other half of the promotional\ntwilight syndrome\nmovies , but it ' s much better in terms of story and taking place at an amusement park is a fun setting . in fact , this is a surprisingly good , little film with a few unexpected twists and moments that set it apart from the numerous asian horror films that reuse the same routines . unfortunately , they must have blown the majority of their budget on renting the amusement park and that cruise ship , because the effects here are horrendous ! if you thought dc looked cheap at times , wait until you see virtually every death in this film . on top of that , the running time manages to be shorter than dc - - making this film clock in at barely over an hour when not counting the credits . the ending also leaves something to be desired , but i ' ll get to that later .\nthe first thing you ' ll notice is the creepy carnival music that sounds like it should be in\nhellraiser ;\nthis helps enhance the mood for me over the dullness in dc . we meet a guy who is clearly outlined to be the hero who suddenly finds himself at the appropriately titled\ntwilight park ;\nthis aspect will come to be significant in a cool twist . seven gamers who allegedly scored the highest in the last\ntwilight syndrome\ngame have been invited to a special event held by the game ' s creator ; i have no idea if this is supposed to be the real life maker or not . the seven are mostly your typical geeks with the exception of one wannabe tough guy . the girls of the group are cute , especially the biggest dork , mei , played by moe arai . actually , let me get this out of the way regarding the ladies : one looks like a ' 60s housewife for some odd reason , one mindlessly tells a guy to stop looking up her skirt yet she ' s wearing shorts , and ms . arai looks like she ' s auditioning for\nmen in black .\nas the event is about to begin , one of the dorks is mysteriously called away as we are introduced to the movie ' s antagonist : a mildly creepy clown . they definitely wasted a chance here with the clown , because with the right lighting and angles he could have been downright disturbing . oh well . the clown tells the group that the kid that was called away is out of the game for blabbing about the event on the internet . next , the clown explains that the creator has developed an experimental new way to play games that he wants these kids to try out in the amusement park ; at this point you learn all the extras that had been in the background are gone . . . but were they ever there ? hmm .\nthe group is then tasked to look around the park for balloons to find which ones have a game cartridge in them that plugs into each character ' s nintendo ds ; if you don ' t find one in time you ' re out of the game . at this point , the audience is given a chance to get to know the characters who appear as stereotypical bitches , at first , except hero man and mei ; if you can ' t figure things out on your own , the clown takes the time to skip exposition for us and sum up the characters ' personalities with tacked on cheap shots against them like how one girl wants implants . when the time is almost up , everyone has a cartridge but wannabe tough guy , and , luckily for him , hero man gives him an extra one he found so they all make it to the next round . but the clown informs the group that one of them is not making it to the next round anyway . this is when the film ditches the cliches and takes things up a notch . after preparing an elaborate trap - - a ferris wheel cranking up a metal plank into a harpoon shot - - you think wannabe tough guy is toast , but , instead , the guy set up to appear as the main character gets killed ! i have to give them credit , they had me fooled . they spend about 20 minutes building this guy up , and even though you get the feeling mei will be important , you don ' t suspect she will transition into the real main character . the only downside to this twist is the laughable effect of the guy dying . . . ugh so bad . oh , and the reason hero man died was because the rules of the first task said you can only have one cartridge . scared shitless , everyone takes off running out of the park when they realize they are trapped by a barrier . this is when upskirt girl dies since she unknowingly runs out of the barrier and is electrocuted to death . this should also clue the audience in on what ' s happening since the further the girl runs the more pixelated the background becomes . i should also note that poor upskirt girl is the only person who doesn ' t get a chance to redeem herself .\nthis is probably the point where the plot gets a little sketchy with it suddenly becoming night and a shit ton of clowns emerge seeking out what they claim is an intruder to the game . again , missed opportunity to make these clowns look freaky when the potential was right there . the three hide while brushing up on their archery skills , i suppose , since later they ' re all dead shots with those crossbows . the intruder turns out to be the actual game creator who explains they ' re in the matrix in a manner of speaking . the creator developed this virtual reality for the best gamers , but he somehow lost control with the clowns acting like agent smiths . if you die in the game , you also die in reality so you ' re fucked . the only way to end things is to throw a special game cartridge into a magic vortex overlooking the amusement park . uhh . . . okay . when they go to the escape portal the creator came through , fat geek gets killed pathetically . the creator is attacked by a clown and they try to turn him into an agent . . . i mean , clown , while mei slips through the portal by herself . the makeup effects on the creator , turning into a clown , were pretty good and it makes me wonder why they didn ' t stick to this the whole time . mei finds she is back at home and decides to return to the game in order to save ' 60s girl since now they ' ve become friends . ' 60s girl gets captured by the clowns but mei runs them over with a bumper car . the girls make it to this vortex the creator talked about and throw the cartridge in , thus , releasing them from the amusement park . mei is happy she finally has a friend and wonders where she may be since all she knows is ' 60s girl ' s name . the film ends with a final shot of a vortex - looking thing in the sky . soooo . . . she ' s still in the game ? the real world is the matrix ? a dream within a dream ? donnie darko ? you tell me ?\nyes , this film is corny , but it has a lot of good things going for it . the characters are interesting and toy with your expectations of them , the twist regarding the main guy is fantastic , the use of the amusement park setting was fun and they utilized it properly , the girls are cute , and the story was engaging without ever feeling like a blatant advertisement ( ala\nthe wizard\n) . however , the effects are a serious , if not the primary , detriment to the movie in its entirety ; there are a lot of ways they could have worked around this . the film felt too short considering it had a lot more to offer , i believe , and effort should have been put into expanding the ideas . and , of course , the ending leaves you hanging and the explanations for why everything was happening are questionable . honestly , had they fixed these mistakes , polished up a few ideas , i think this could have easily been in the 7 / 10 territory for the originality and creativity alone . it ' s still a good movie that ' s highly entertaining and should come as a surprise treat , but it ' s hard to ignore the flaws . overall , i think if you watch this along with\ndead cruise\nyou will have the optimal enjoyment from these films as a double feature . but like i said before , if you must choose one , considering the rarity and price issues , get this one .\nthe clown shows up to tell them that the game is to the death , they can ' t leave unless they finish , and that the creator wanted to see how things would go without resets and continues ; this is pretty much the opposite of dc ' s premise . not taking too kindly to this revelation , wannabe tough guy goes berserk and beats the clown to death . . . only problem , there ' s another clown to take his place ! the next task is to stop this man - eating balloon that chases the group around the park . i ' m sure they imagined this to look cool in the script , but it looks so bad and makes baby noises for whatever reason . wannabe tough guy ends up saving mei before he is devoured by the balloon , and mei is told she has to make up for this sacrifice by the ' 60s girl . mei does this feat by luring the balloon at her when it somehow pops on her broken glasses . now down to three people already , the kids are told the next task is to shoot crossbow bolts at balloons while the clown rides on a rail for one lap around the park . they also learn that the game will never end until there ' s only one survivor and even then that person must win whatever is the last challenge they ' re playing . when the clown begins to ride , they realize what became of the guy that was called away as his corpse is on this particular ride . the only character i haven ' t mentioned so far was the token fat geek , who was being the biggest bitch , but he finally redeems himself by helping ' 60s girl , who is injured , by carrying her on his back to chase the clown ' s ride . i really liked that the characters started off like cliches but gained some depth unlike dc . eventually time is almost up and mei tries to be a badass by taking her last shot from the roller coaster . just when you think she will miss , fat geek and ' 60s girl kill the clown so that she will land her shot without interference .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

empty movie theater was a thrill . i felt that i was recreating chuck heston\u2019s big scene from the omega man , where he sits in a theater bitterly watching woodstock as the world goes to hell outside . jack o\u2019connell\u2019s 1968 documentary\u2013 newly revived and updated with some modern reminiscences\u2013details the summer of love in 1967 , without chronology or identification of the participants .\nyoung ladies college of the sacret heart is the exclusive , expensive , private roman catholic convent school , located in salisbury , at which tambu earns one of the few places and scholarships reserved for black african girls . tambu mentions that at sacred heart she can continue study all the way to a level of rhodesian pre -

making for its storyboarding of the script , the first use of title cards , an ellipsis , and a panning shot , and for its cross - cutting editing techniques . one of its stars with multiple roles , gilbert m . anderson ( max aronson ) , later took the name\nbroncho billy\nanderson and became famous as the first western film hero - the genre ' s first cowboy . as in other genres , westerns quickly became character - driven and stars began to be developed .\n12 . i have not seen a copy of the film with this title intact , but it is recorded in a contemporary review by maurice rapf entitled \u201chigh drama in a history restaged , \u201d life magazine , october 27 , 1967 . for the often - retold story of how the film stock was treated in order to achieve the newsreel effect , see irena bignardi , \u201cthe making of the battle of algiers , \u201d cineaste 25 : 2 ( 2000 ) : 14\u201322 , on 19\u201320 .\n, first run features must be congratulated not only for the excellent transfer ( the colors especially , with the richly saturated blacks of the chadors , the brightly colored foods , and the red - tinged imagers , are exactly as i remember them when i saw a pristine 35mm print of the film ) , but for being the first north american company to distribute a film by mehrjui . let\u2019s hope that other companies follow suit , or indeed that first run release one of his many other important works .\nthe experimental method of montage , borrowed from surrealism , was to be the means of production of historical intelligibility . furthermore , the \u2018static\u2019 temporality of the image was understood to connect such an experience of historical meaning , directly , to a radical or \u2018revolutionary\u2019 concept of action , associated with the idea of the present as crisis . the passage above continues :\nangus sampson ' s work spans film , theatre and television . his film credits include : insidious and insidious : chapter two , where the wild things are , legend of the guardians : the owls of ga ' hoole , kokoda and 100 bloody acres , in which angus was nominated for best supporting actor at the aactas . angus produced , co - wrote and directed the feature film the mule , co - starring alongside hugo weaving . his television credits include fargo , spirited , party tricks , paper giants : magazine wars and thank god you\u2019re here .\n57 . the images of the dancing women that close battle recall eug\u00e8ne delacroix\u2019s picturing of marianne in the 1830 painting \u201cliberty leading the people , \u201d as well as the running pina , the female protagonist of rome open city , in her famous death scene in rosselini\u2019s film . plainly , the realistic register of battle is discarded for a traditional symbolism in these closing scenes , even as the resemblance to newsreel is retained in the coarse editing , use of long lens , and grainy film stock . ( pontecorvo himself worried about the breaking of the realistic illusion ; see solinas , gillo pontecorvo\u2019s \u201c the battle of algiers , \u201d 174 . ) but the images also recall sensual orientalist imagery , for example paintings of harem dancers by the italian orientalist painter giulio rosati , and the dancers\u2019 play with flags and veils recalls orientalist portrayals of salom\u00e9 .\n30 . the casbah is heard , though , with chanting and the ululation sounds made by algerian women emerging from it . as many have noticed , the aural dimension of the film carries a powerful charge . the protest sequences , especially those i discuss that take place at climat de france , feature an echoey , \u201cdistressed\u201d sound quality ( as if recorded with rudimentary equipment ) that is of a piece with the high contrast film stock and use of telephoto lenses .\nfred schepisi directed his first feature - length film , the devil ' s playground , in 1976 , winning 6 afi awards including best film . following the success of the chant of jimmie blacksmith , fred directed barbarosa , iceman , plenty and roxanne in the us before returning to australia to co - write and direct evil angels . fred ' s other film credits include : six degrees of separation , the russia house , mr . baseball , iq , fierce creatures , last orders , it runs in the family , the eye of the storm and words & pictures . fred gained an emmy nomination for best director and won a golden globe for the mini - series empire falls .\nthe political consequence of the temporal naturalism underlying the idea of \u2018progress\u2019 is conformism . for benjamin , paradoxically , this applied in particular to the german social democrats ' understanding of communism as an ideal , in the neo - kantian ethical sense of the object of an \u2018endless task\u2019 :\nthe first technology really sought to master nature , whereas the second aims rather at an interplay between nature and humanity . the primary social function of art today is to rehearse that interplay . this applies especially to film .\nsarah snook graduated from nida in 2008 , going on to perform award - winning roles in not suitable for children , sisters of war and predestination , in which she starred alongside ethan hawke . sarah ' s other credits include the tv mini - series the beautiful lie and the secret river , and films these final hours , oddball , holding the man , steve jobs and the dressmaker , which has gone on to become one of the highest grossing films of all time at the australian box office .\nzimweb , online magazine from harare , zimbabwe ( 1998 ) , updated monthly , includes a brief article on zimbabwean women in politics by margaret dongo , and maintains the zimbabwe homepage ( zimweb 1996 ) , with links to information on the country , its population , history ( illustrated ! ) , religion , education , culture , and more . . . . sample zimbabwean proverbs or the elders ' wisdom of the ages .\nthe turin archive\u2019s press release asserted that battle was made \u201cusing actual casbah locations\u201d and scholarship has tended to follow its line , emphasizing the representation of the casbah to the exclusion of other spaces in the film . scholars have eagerly invested in the casbah as the authentic space of indigeneity and resistance , a correspondence encouraged in battle itself as a dichotomy between european city and casbah , expressed in a pan - and - zoom shot six minutes into the film . even guy austin confidently asserts that battle is \u201cset in the casbah of algiers . \u201d 21 this is not wrong , but it is insufficient : battle is not set only in the casbah . indeed , drawings included with the original press release render scenes from the film set neither in the casbah nor in the so - called european city but rather in a new housing project , the climat de france , on the periphery of the city .\nkokkinos has also taught extensively at the australian film , television and radio school and rmit . she conducts ongoing masterclasses for professional actors and lectures in the school of culture and communication at melbourne university .\nthe western was among the first film genres , growing in status alongside the development of hollywood ' s studio production system . there were only a few great silent westerns , although the best ones established some of the archetypes that are part of the genre even today . the earliest westerns ( silent films without the sound of gunfire , horse ' s hoofbeats , and the cattle trail ) are gems of american history . a few of the earliest western - like films were two shorts from thomas edison ' s manufacturing company :\nin 2010 , ana was honoured at the seattle international film festival as an emerging master filmmaker and honoured with a retrospective of her work . she has directed numerous episodes of tv including the secret life of us , massacre at myall creek and seven types of ambiguit y for matchbox pictures .\nthis particular piece of journalism had earned truffaut a solicitor\u2019s letter from the director \u2013 one of the most prominent and successful figures in the french cinema of the day . never a man to grovel or eat his words , truffaut further ridiculed the film in his 1957 short les mistons ( the brats ) . spotting a poster that advertises chiens perdus sans collier , the anarchic and half -

doing , a chase or pursuit , and a final showdown , all in a natural setting . the film ended ( or began ) with a stunning close - up ( the first ! ) of a gunman ( george barnes ) firing directly into the camera - and audience . it was the most commercially successful film of the pre - nickelodeon era .\nthis indigenous american art form focuses on the frontier west that existed in north america . westerns are often set on the american frontier during the last part of the 19th century ( 1865 - 1900 ) following the civil war , in a geographically western ( trans - mississippi ) setting with romantic , sweeping frontier landscapes or rugged rural terrain . however , westerns may extend back to the time of america ' s colonial period or forward to the mid - 20th century , or as far geographically as mexico . a number of westerns use the civil war , the battle of the alamo ( 1836 ) or the mexican revolution ( 1910 ) as a backdrop .\nsince 2011 britta and kay have been working to preserve the legacy of jack o\u2019connell . with the professional help of duart , they have color corrected , digitized , and made dvds of his films . the original materials have found a home with a anthology film archives , thanks to indie collect .\nreportedly o\u2019connell\u2019s film had an original running time of close to four hours . the editing job went from one to another until it was beautifully handled by russell lloyd . al kooper did a musical score for the film but various artistic and financial trouble seems to have arisen and manfred mann came around with lyrics and another score with more relevance to the story line .\nsince the content of each , successive , level of reflection is supplied by the form of its object , the criticism unfolds the germ of immanent criticizability contained in each particular artwork ' s form . this formalism precludes any serious discussion of the artwork ' s specific content .\non effecting a revolutionary advance in the production of works of art and literature . pdf\nwhile writing a thorough history of the jazz singer , rogin argues that jews such as jolson hid their ethnicity behind burnt cork and thus \u201cbecame white . \u201d he also condemns the film for presenting imitations of a black man without any meaningful representation of how black americans lived .\n56 . vincendeau writes that the five -

life child could ever be \u2013 truffaut consolidates the 400 blows as an act of rebellion . it is not just antoine who is a rebel , or truffaut on whose early life the film is based . the film , in its conception and mise en sc\u00e8ne , constituted an all - out rebellion against the established tenets of french cinema .\na final example can be found in the barberousse prison , an edifice located at the top of the hill across from the entrance to the south side of the casbah , pictured in an early scene that telegraphically narrates the politicization of the film\u2019s algerian protagonist , ali la pointe . in this scene , the imprisoned ali peers at the execution of an fln militant through the barred slit in the thick exterior wall of his overcrowded cell . a high - angle shot representing ali\u2019s subjective point of view looks down into the prison courtyard that contains a guillotine . the view then switches to a frontal framing and the camera\u2019s zoom onto the condemned man , followed by a panning shot that continues ali\u2019s prior perspective . an extreme close - up of ali\u2019s gazing eyes is followed by a cut to the guillotine and the activities of its hooded functionaries .\n40 . there are no doors in the exterior walls of the 200 columns\u2014only windows , flights of stairs , and monumental entrances to the courtyard ; there is no individual access to apartments from the outside of the building .\none of the country ' s most sought -

revolutionary function to the latter . ( ba , 128 )\n26 . the film reprises a long - standing policy by the fln to present their struggle at the international level . for an account of how the algerian war of independence was also a war for international opinion waged between the french and the fln , see matthew connelly , \u201crethinking the cold war and decolonization : the grand strategy of the algerian war for independence , \u201d international journal of middle east studies 33 : 2 ( 2001 ) : 221\u201345 . the character of the film\u2019s multiple address has yet to be thoroughly analyzed , though murray smith touches on this theme in \u201c the battle of algiers : colonial struggle and collective allegiance , \u201d in terrorism , media , liberation , ed . j . david slocum ( new brunswick , nj : rutgers university press , 2005 ) , 94\u2013110 .\n43 . homi k . bhabha , the location of culture ( london : routledge , 1994 ) ; jonathan rutherford , \u201cthe third space : interview with homi bhabha , \u201d in identity : community , culture , difference , ed . jonathan rutherford ( london : lawrence and wishart , 1990 ) , 207\u201321 ; edward soja , thirdspace : journeys to los angeles and other real - and - imagined places ( oxford : blackwell , 1996 ) .\nyet for all its many virtues , chiens perdus sans collier commits the one crime the 400 blows does not . sentimentalising its child delinquents and victims , it portrays them as pathetic , almost dickensian figures . it tells the story , not just of one troubled child , but of a number of different children in separate narratives , relating them ( if at all ) through the star presence of jean gabin as a kindly judge \u2013 a consummate figure of benign bourgeois authority . all this , of course , was anathema to truffaut and his cohorts in the nouvelle vague . chiens perdus sans collier is a filmmaking in the third person , albeit of a very high order . the 400 blows is first - person cinema par excellence .\nporter ' s other film in the same year was a non - western , life of an american fireman ( 1903 ) featuring more overlapping action and cross - cut editing , and a last - minute rescue of a mother and child in a burning building . and edison ' s a race for millions ( 1907 ) also featured typical western plot elements - a high - noon shootout , and claim - jumping . in fact , a number of major film studios were making westerns as early as 1907 , and by the end of the first decade of the century , about twenty percent of all of hollywood ' s films were westerns .\nchrista ( u . s . - danish - color ) , cannes , may 15 , 1971 astron ( new york ) release of astron & laterna film ( denmark ) coproduction .\nit is the fragment \u2018central park\u2019 that most clearly reveals the consequences of benjamin ' s reading of baudelaire for his concept of history : the modern completely transforms the possibilities for the experience of history . on the one hand , it de - historicizes experience , wresting it away from the temporal continuities of tradition . on the other hand , a messianic structure\u2014an opening of history to something outside of time\u2014reasserts itself within the still life [ nature mort ] of modernity ' s restless sameness . this is benjamin ' s famous \u2018dialectics at a standstill\u2019 ( tiedemann , 1982 ) . it transforms the historical naturalism of the baroque , analyzed in the origin of the german mourning - play ( section 4 , above ) , in a futural direction . in particular , it involves a prioritization of the interruptive stasis of the image over the continuity of temporal succession . in fact , benjamin maintained : \u201cthe concept of historical time forms an antithesis to the idea of a temporal continuum\u201d ( sw 4 , 407 ) . ]\nbarbarism lurks in the very concept of culture\u2014as the concept of a fund of values which is considered independent not , indeed , of the production process in which these values originated , but of the one in which they survive . in this way they serve the apotheosis of the latter , barbaric as it may be .

of the rails is also really good . it returns the\nsaved from scrap\nkind of plot that was often seen in classic series episodes like escape and well , saved from scrap , and the plot itself had a lot to actually keep me interested in what was happening . the steamwork ' s introduction was a rather good idea to me , as it feels more lively and interesting compared to the repair yard , plus it ' s shown more how a real repair yard / workshop would work , showing the engineers and all the machines used to fix engines , which is especially shown when hiro is fixed in the end .\nand the hankou

which directly addresses the relocation of\nimmovable cultural relics\n- - too often this simply didn ' t happen .\nalbums of music ' from and inspired by the motion picture ' only tangentially

and it ' s easy for kids to understand . it has a good story and likeable characters , though i don ' t know why spencer is given the bad guy role but if it were a diesel then it ' ll be a whole

the only attempt at beauty is in the double sunset . it\u2019s enjoyable on its own terms , but it\u2019s exhausting , too : like taking a pack of kids to the circus . an hour into it , children say that they\u2019re ready to see it again ; that\u2019s because it\u2019s an assemblage of spare parts \u2014 it has no emotional grip . star wars may be the only movie in which the first time around the surprises are reassuring\u2026 . it\u2019s an epic without a dream . but it\u2019s probably the absence of wonder that accounts for the film\u2019s special , huge success . the excitement of those who call it the film of the year goes way past nostalgia to the feeling that now is the time to return to childhood . \u201d\nfilm :\nothello\n( 1965 ) is one of many film adaptations of shakespeare ' s tragedy of the same name . character ' s background : othello is a general in the venetian army . he is also a christian moor , which means he is generally depicted with a dark - complexion . actor ' s background : british actor laurence olivier has no african or arab roots , which is why he wore full - on blackface to portray the jealous moor . that ' s right , he painted his skin several shades darker to play othello .\nbut for just this reason , \u201csaint laurent\u201d may represent a perfect match of filmmaker and subject . ysl\u2019s commitment to elegance was all - consuming , and also represented a kind of transcendental consumerism . his life , or at least this movie\u2019s idea of it , was both sumptuous and empty , hedonistic and sad . he was a creator and , even more , a collector , of attractive people , intense experiences and beautiful things . to visit him in old age , surrounded by servants , memories , occasional hallucinations and abundant objets d\u2019art , is to sit with a pharaoh in a tomb furnished for the afterlife . you\u2019re not sure if you\u2019ve witnessed a tragedy in the guise of a fashion show , or the reverse .\nin a study of over 400 films and television series , the university of southern california found that over half didn\u2019t feature asian speaking characters . usc\u2019s annenberg school found that in 2014 , only 5 percent of characters in film were asian , while nearly 75 percent of characters were white .\nlately , i\u2019ve been trying to stay away from describing movies as \u201clush\u201d or \u201cpainterly , \u201d but if any film ever stood up , climbed onto a table , and demanded that vocabulary , it would be a cure f or wellness . working with his longtime cinematographer bojan bazelli , verbinski has conjured up a film where almost every frame could end up on one perfect shot to be studied and scrutinized . a train barreling toward a mountain tunnel , its windows a perfect symmetrical reflection ; lockhart and hannah talking beside a mirror - like fountain pool ; a slow dolly toward a seemingly empty therapy tub ; even the most banal moments become opportunities for artistry . production designer eve stewart further improves it with her detailed work , which gives the film a world war ii - meets - steampunk vibe full of old - school medical equipment and vast sensory - deprivation chambers .\na supernatural love story set in the south ,\nbeautiful creatures\ntells the tale of two star - crossed lovers : ethan ( alden ehrenreich ) , a young man longing to escape his small town , and lena ( alice englert ) , a mysterious new girl . together , they uncover dark secrets about their respective families , their history and their town .

no one there , not even the artists or those in the bookstore , was reading japanese fairytales or reciting ivan drach . marta ' s unhappiness and confusion are palpable and transmitted to the viewer . mercifully the action returns to the refuge of the sea , the place where social conventions are familiar and understandable , and the place where our characters and the story of their lives belong .\nsetema : disney did an amazing job . there\u2019s many polynesians who are hating on the movie . disney never said they were making a documentary . they made a movie to tie into the poly cultures and the island mythology . great job disney and thank you for doing such an incredible job representing our people with the sights , sounds , colors , music , and message .\npeople outside of disney have finally seen star wars : the force awakens ;

disappear , and the digital market will completely take over . there are a number of advantages to digital marketing . unlike traditional marketing , digital marketing is more affordable . you can reach a larger audience in a shorter time - period . technological advances have resulted in considerable attrition of the customer - base of traditional marketing agencies & departments . people have moved on to tablets , phones , and computers , which are the areas where digital marketers have gained the most ground . the term digital marketing was first used in the 1990s . the digital age took off with the coming of the internet and the development of the web 1 . 0 platform . the web 1 . 0 platform allowed users to find the information they wanted , but did not allow them to share this information over the web . up until then , marketers worldwide were still unsure of the digital platform . they were not sure if their strategies would work since the internet had not yet seen widespread deployment . in 1993 , the first clickable banner went live , after which hotwired purchased a few banner ads for their advertising . this marked the beginning of the transition to the digital era of marketing . because of this gradual shift , the year 1994 saw new technologies enter the digital marketplace . the very same year , yahoo was launched . also known as\njerry ' s guide to the world wide web\nafter its founder jerry yang , yahoo received close to 1 million hits within the first year . this prompted wholesale changes in the digital marketing space , with companies optimizing their websites to pull in higher search engine rankings . 1996 saw the launch of a couple of more search engines and tools like hotbot , looksmart , and alexa . 1998 saw the birth of google . microsoft launched the msn search engine and yahoo brought to the market yahoo web search . two years later , the internet bubble burst and all the smaller search engines were either left behind or wiped out leaving more space for the giants in the business . the digital marketing world saw its first steep surge in 2006 , when search engine traffic was reported to have grown to about 6 . 4 billion in a single month . not one to get left behind , microsoft put msn on the backburner , and launched live search to compete with google and yahoo .\nas far as working in this digital realm with vfx in mind , i see genesis as an excellent instrument for recording the light in a scene , suggests scott e . anderson , visual effects supervisor and president of digital sandbox , a consultant on superman returns . while film interprets a scene , genesis records a more neutral view of the world , leaving the look to our interpretation in di or vfx .\nfilm is not perfect for scene linear workflow , as the negative placed a ' fingerprint ' on the imagery that was carried into the cineon file - regardless of the log encoding aspects of a cineon file . if you come from a digital camera background you might ask ,\nwhat colorspace does film get scanned into ?\nbut that is a deceptively complex question to answer . it is influenced by the toe and the shoulder of the film response curves , it is influenced by the fact that the film is transmissive - layers on layers so there is crosstalk between the colors , it is influenced by the film processing ( think what a cross processing or bleach by - pass does to the image ! ) and of course the actual stock we are talking about : kodak vs fuji . but don ' t forget cineon is designed as a film digital intermediate . it was designed to capture ' film - ness ' in a digital file .\ndigital intermediate also does both these processes , but works at a much higher resolution - at least ' 2k ' . let ' s assume the resolution of film is 2k . in a conventional telecine process , one frame on 35 mm film which is 2048x1556 pixels is converted to 720x576 pixels ( about 1 / 8th the size ) and put on to a tape . if , later this picture , is reverse telecine ' d from tape to film you have a situation where a small 720x576 picture is blown up to 2048x1556 ( eight times the size ) .\nneil sadwelkar is one of india ' s leading post - production technicians . neil is an editor , a consultant on data and workflows for movies and television and an occasional teacher and writer . neil runs a digital data and workflow services company called post blackbox that has worked on movies like bhaag milkha bhaag , shuddh desi romance , dhoom 3 and many others in the last couple of years . he runs an amazingly informative blog on all things digital here .\nwith di , advancements include input as well as output . for instance , panavisions new genesis digital imaging camera the first of its kind boasting film - like quality is currently being used on superman returns and a handful of other features .\ndo you feel you need to step up your digital game to cope with the challenges in your industry ? or do you think you can teach your senior management a trick or two ? reverse mentorship is your solution ! why ? because reverse mentorship is a great way to inject digital dna straight into all the layers of your company . its perfect for closing the gap between the average mindset of your market and the average mindset of your company . often your market is a lot more digitally mature than your leadership and management . lastly , because it is a key enabler for your digital transformation . let\u2019s face it , transforming the people within your organization will be much harder than finding the right technology to make your plans happen .\nin examining these ideas , our underlying conceptual methodology will be informed by computational design thinking , in particular shifts in contemporary design paradigms towards non - standardised architectural production and mass customisation avoiding serial repetition . specifically , the constant evolution of digital fabrication processes - such as 3d printing and robotic fabrication - enables us to work at a pace and resolution unimaginable just a few years ago . however , the manner in which these techniques have traditionally been utilised does not address the fixity of architectural space or the linearity of building process . with this in mind , intermediate 13 will continue to conduct research into systematic yet delicate and complex fabrication methods that can be continuously automated and reproduced to produce different architectural or non - architectural elements .\nwithin this website i will look at the ideas and workflow encapsulating the digital lab , moving away from the chemical alternative . not just because it offers a more flexible approach but mainly because it is in tune with the approach in which most directors cut their teeth , entering the industry .\nreverse mentorship is going from a one - way street to a two - way street . mentoring is nothing new , seniors have been mentoring juniors for ages based on their years of experience , their industry knowledge and business insights . reverse mentorship is about adding a stream in the opposite direction . the junior mentors the senior on what he or she has experience in and gives the senior digital insights that are fundamental to do business in the future . although this new dynamic might feel unnatural for the both of them , it is the key to make your company digital first .\ndefining who\u2019s who can be done through a digital readiness scan . this could be in the form of an interview , survey or by making participants solve tasks . you can use our template here ( just click on file - > download and view the google form in your google drive )\nornamentation in architecture has long been debated in terms of its suitability , its ability to be measured or controlled , or whether it fulfils a structural or a functional role . intermediate 13 aims to challenge these traditional notions of ornament by looking at the way its shape , geometry and spatial qualities are driven by structural principles and by architectural use . what interests us is ornament that is inhabitable , functional and rich in information or , in other words , intelligent ornamentation .\nafter conform , you have your whole film in the form of a timeline at full film resolution - 2k . all through the grading process , it is necessary to ensure the\ndigital negative\nis in sync with the original edit . the conform system can do side by side comparisons and ensure this .\nas part of this system kodak ' s fine engineering team ( and at the time there was none finer ) declared that the full film image could be captured digitally and stored in a 10 bit log file format called cineon . importantly , this was an intermediate format - it was designed as a film bridge . it was not designed for cgi nor any digital final delivery . it was meant to represent the\nprinting density\n, that is , the density that is seen by print film . it is vital to understand that cineon files were assumed to operate as part of a film chain keeping whatever values were originally scanned from your negative to be later reproduced on a film recorder . it was designed to retain the original neg ' s characteristics such as color component crosstalk and gamma .\ncolor and visual presentation are areas where di enjoys key impact . veteran colorist and di pioneer peter doyle , who worked on providing distinct visual identities to the lord of the rings trilogy , the matrix and the latest two harry potter films , acted as supervising digital colorist on tim burtons charlie and the chocolate factory .\nafter locking picture , projects come to stuck on on for one - stop finishing , says gregg . \u201cwe can do everything from digital lab services \u2014 dailies and one - lights \u2014 to a spit - and - polish finish , including audio . \u201d the facility is equipped with assimilate scratch , its \u201cworkhorse\u201d color tool , and davinci resolve .\nfilm recorders take a\ndigital negative\nfrom a hard disk and record it back to a 35 mm film . different technologies are used for this - lasers , lcds , crts . but the common thing is that film recorders are slow . recorders are rather slow - 1 - 4 sec per frame . one day per 2000 ft reel .\nas ever in film production , given a tool kit , people are pushing what is possible here , combining techniques from digital emulation , tradition lab processes with the full complexity of a special effects compositing system , says filmlights chapman . weve certainly seen shots with over a 100 layers in , which still retain the look of a special moment photographed for real .\nthrough a series of 1 : 1 - scale prototypes , the unit will investigate a number of design and fabrication techniques , driven by material behaviour as well as by specific crafting techniques , both digital and analogue . through a focus on geometry and materiality , we will constantly look to pursue unique spatial formations where both internal and external experiences are informed by the specificity of applied processes . this will be achieved by using a number of computational and algorithmic design techniques , each corresponding to a unique material system . it is hoped that the resulting digital simulations will operate in constant feedback with the development of parallel material systems - an integrated model allowing computational techniques to be a fundamental part of the design process rather than merely a representation tool .\nwhen doing di , the film is scanned at 2048x1556 pixels into digital file . one file for each frame . after that point all the systems in the di chain work on these files but they leave them at 2048x1556 . finally after all the action is over the recorder also takes these 2048x1556 files and records them out to film . so the original resolution is preserved .\n' ) ; jquery ( document ) . ready ( function ( $ ) { if ( $ . cookie ( '

smith admits to being skeptical when blackmagic bought davinci and re - engineered the software for the mac leveraging nvidia\u2019s cuda architecture .\nadding to a demanding arena of different media , a hectic vfx content on many films , and the fact that the markets for films after the initial theatrical release of a feature film demand ( or should demand ) stricter control of what the film looks like across the board , then di assists beyond belief in making sure that the film print , the digital projection masters , hd masters and so on are absolutely perfect .\nthe edl made by the edit system - avid or fcp or whatever - system contains numbers which tell the scanning system where the used shots are located . this scanning system then scans the film at\n2k\nand turns each film frame into a digital file - 2048x1556 pixels ( 12 mb per frame , 1000 gb / hour ) . or ' 4k ' meaning 4096x3112 ( 50 mb per frame , 4000 gb / hour ) .\ndps using digital cameras have to be careful about protecting highlights and shadows , he says , although they can use the limits of their cameras to their own advantage . \u201cwith the f3 there was a good chance that the highlights would be blown out . but director bob byington and dp sean price williams built that look into a scene : they backlit it so they\u2019d have a blooming window \u2014 it became a style and was quite effective . \u201d\nthen came web 2 . 0 , where people became more active participants rather than remain passive users . web 2 . 0 allowed users to interact with other users and businesses . labels like \u2018super information highway\u2019 began to be applied to the internet . as a result , information flow volumes \u2013including channels utilized by digital marketers - increased manifold , and by 2004 , internet advertising and marketing in the us alone brought in around $ 2 . 9 billion .\nin the early 90s when discreet ' s flame was first released as the then ' art of the art ' in digital film compositing , many film pipelines used luts to convert 10 bit cineon film scans into 8 bit ' linear ' files . luts were destructive , literally picking the ' right 8 bits ' from a much larger film and converting from cineon printer density ( cpd ) colorspace to sometimes a video colorspace to allow feature film effects to be done .\nthe company has an array of di solutions : quantel pablo for the bulk of 2d work , sgo mistika for most stereo 3d projects and autodesk lustre for the balance . creative post just opened a 400 - seat di theater off premises via its theater d digital sibling . the restored art deco theater in downtown toronto boasts a 50 - foot screen for traditional color grading and reald stereo 3d viewing , a christie 4k projector and dolby 7 . 1 - certified mixing .\nsteve scott is vp / supervising digital colorist at hollywood\u2019s efilm ( www . efilm . com ) , whose di history extends from the first full - length di for we were soldiers in 2001 to today\u2019s stereo 3d dis for a great number of the marvel features as well as the recent star wars : the phantom menace . scott himself did the di for tree of life , which earned a 2012 academy award nomination for best cinematography for its dp , emmanuel lubezki .\nkevin phelan , head of post - production at lip sync post , comments , the u . k . has seen rapid growth in the last three years . other european countries like france , which has a strong history of excellent digital fx for film along with the u . k . and the u . s . , germany , italy , etc . scandinavia has long been represented , particularly by dfl , which was maybe the first to do a complete di via a datacine device .\nthe red digital cinema camera company would recommend you go to a redcolor2 colorspace . this is their own solution and you could say this reflects their - ' individuality ' - their desire to be different and trail brazing , a ' do it differently and better ' approach . it is such a red solution , and they will argue very effectively that they know their cameras best and this is the best solution for their cameras , and it ' s true redcolor2 works really well for red cameras .\nbest in the comedic category was pirates of the caribbean : the curse of the black pearl and it is a prime example of vfx supporting the action of a film , and enhancing the performances through the seamless realism and imaginative fantasy of the digital effects . i doubt theres a single viewer in the world that would come away from that film remembering the pirate ghosts over johnny depps hilarious performance . as an example of vfx carefully tailored to suit both humor and adventure , pirates sets a new standard of excellence .\ndigital capture can be a better candidate for scene linear workflow . that is a workflow that says\nlet ' s work on this file with it referencing the source - real life - imagery and not the output .\nin its purest form scene linear is a linear relationship between light intensity in the scene and a set of rgb values , with no bias or consideration to encoding to some . it is not designed to be an image that is viewed directly . it is defined as a base line linear .\nthe cookie was another important milestone in the digital marketing industry . advertisers had begun to look for other ways to capitalize on the fledgling technology . one such technique was to track common browsing habits and usage patterns of frequent users of the internet so as to tailor promotions and marketing collateral to their tastes . the first cookie was designed to record user - habits . the use of the cookie has changed over the years , and cookies today are coded to offer marketers a variety of ways to collect literal user data .\nsteve chapman , director of filmlight , a u . k . - based specialist in the field , agrees that di is transforming the industry . from a technical standpoint , its very similar to what happened to video post - production in the late 1980s , when suddenly the whole production process went digital , chapman says . from the creative perspective , i would hope its further enabling the director of photography ( dp ) and the director to create beautiful images , without the enormous pressure of having to capture it all completely in camera .\nthose expectations may stem from all that di is able to achieve . doyle notes that a film can now be available for digital cinema or hd even before mechanical prints are made . a director has the opportunity to present the film live , and then receive and apply feedback from the presentation . the director can present the film at its absolute best quality and make changes to it within hours somewhat like a live broadcast . the di can be compared to a big grading room with the right tools , letting the project evolve with a sense of spontaneity .\npreservation of the industry\u2019s cultural assets is something technicolor has been a part of for many decades . as older films , classics and library - titles alike , require restoration to be brought into the digital era , technicolor has maintained a strong presence in restoration services located in our los angeles - based imaging operation . technicolor has restored many celebrated classics . the business recently restored director francis coppola\u2019s under - appreciated masterpiece , the cotton club . and our team is currently working on the restoration of director orson welles unfinished film , the other side of the wind .\ncineon was hugely successful and immensely significant in the development of film effects and film production in general , as shown by its widespread use still today . cineon as a file format is however somewhat limited and in the 90s the dpx file format was developed . it can be thought of as a container within which kodak ' s cineon ( . cin files ) are often found . dpx or digital picture exchange is now the common file format for post - production interchange and visual effects work and is an ansi / smpte standard ( 268m - 2003 ) .\nin a film & video article by jaclynne gentry , the chair of the asc technology committee , curtis clark , asc , was quoted as saying , \u201cif you have a digital camera that\u2019s capable of recording wide dynamic range like film , but you then do a transform that puts it in a limited color - gamut space like rec . 709 , you\u2019re going to clip highlights . \u201d he also added , \u201call the detail that you know is there suddenly doesn\u2019t appear to be there . so how do you maintain the full potential within a workflow all the way to the finished output ? \u201d\nthroughout the nineties the full impact of digital vfx became apparent \u2013 steven spielberg realised the terror of living , breathing dinosaurs in jurassic park . then james cameron conjured \u2018the ship of dreams\u2019 into the consciousness of billions with titanic . it does seem possible . . . if we dream it , we can begin to realise it . the noughties saw vfx truly come of age seamlessly becoming part of the narrative . the teenies seem to have thrust 3d to the forefront becoming a staple part of our cinematic experience . hopefully the imagery will be pushed harder with full 4k and high frame rate technology becoming the standard .\nhollywood di is providing a full package of services for static , in fact . it was conformed on one of the company\u2019s avid media composer 6 systems . \u201cusing avid\u2019s own cool 3d tools you can cut in stereo and quickly see the 3d pacing on the stereo monitor , \u201d says smith . \u201cthen we took static into resolve for color grading and stereo sweetening at the same time as enhancing the 3d vfx shots that were delivered from maya digital systems in india . we were able to do the final geometry finessing and color all on one system at high quality with tremendous cost benefits , especially for indie filmmakers . \u201d\nfilm , unlike a digital sensor , requires the light to pass through other layers of the film to get to the layer recording its particular color . for blue light to be recorded by the blue layer of the actual film it had to pass through a bunch of other layers - including the green and red film layers . this leads to a few key film characteristics , such as crosstalk or the mixing of the rgb values more than say a pure cmos sensor would with individual blue , green and red photo sites . of course , cmos data will then get interpreted ( matrix - ed ) creating its own issues .\nnot surprisingly , at londons moving picture co . ( mpc ) , di was deemed a natural on tim burtons corpse bride , the first stop - motion animated feature to be shot digitally . mpc was already committed to undertaking around 460 vfx shots , when di colorist max horton was consulted as to how the material originating from digital stills would look when graded and shot to film . in the summer of 2004 , we set about using a quantel iq system to grade test sequences , these were then shot back to film on an arri laser film recorder and [ we ] evaluated the results in our cinema , horton explains .\nfor 2014 show that posting on social media is the top online activity in the us . the average american spends 37 minutes a day on social media . 99 % of digital marketers use facebook to market , 97 % use twitter , 70 % use google + , 69 % use pinterest and 59 % use instagram . 70 % of b2c marketers have acquired customers through facebook . 67 % of twitter users are far more likely to buy from brands that they follow on twitter . 83 . 8 % of luxury brands have a presence on pinterest . the top three social networking sites used by marketers are linkedin , twitter , and facebook .\nbut a dpx or openexr file is really just a container . it is the way we interpret the world - the color spaces , gamma and associated mathematical approaches - that has really evolved . when digital domain held a private screening for a group of high level directors to see if they could tell the difference between shots done on an 8 bit ( yes 8 bit ) film pipeline and a full 10 bit log ( 12 bit ) pipeline - when the same shots were projected - only one director picked the difference . if that is the case , why has the industry pushed so hard to move to ever larger and more complex file formats ?\nonce film was only a capture and display media , and all post - production meant digital manipulation , the industry has been in a constant battle to make sure that the director ' s vision was correctly translated to the final screen . the aim was simple : to keep the data and processing time under control , avoid the images drifting in color or degrading in quality and simultaneously push the technology and state of the art of filmmaking to make more and more arresting imagery that would emotionally connect with an audience . from accurate skin tones on the side of the face of your leading lady , to the black levels of a cg robot , to the interacting of effects and non - effects shots , the challenge required some of the best minds of the industry to tackle color management .\nas mentioned above , redcinex supports exporting openexr in aces . this is a very interesting workflow . the red digital cinema camera company has pioneered the use of multisampled hdr film production with their hdrx solution . this solution , combining as it does two exposures , achieves a much larger dynamic range and does so at up to 5k resolution at high frame rates . redcinex allows these two frames to be time aligned with magic motion and the resulting single frame has a vast grading latitude . this file is well suited to a scene linear workflow and while it can be output as an openexr with redcolor2 it can also be exported as an aces file type . anecdotal evidence suggests most red users are not yet adopting this workflow , but it will be interesting to see if it develops as more and more people and post pipeline allow full aces support .\n2003 was certainly a watershed year for films featuring digital visual effects . running the gamut from the lord of the rings : the return of the king , to the ceaseless action of the two matrix sequels , revolutions , viewers have never before seen such variety . in the realm of pure fantasy , one wonders whether we have ever been presented with something so flatly audacious as underworld , with its fashion magazine veneer , almost , but not quite , camouflaged its lack of substantial narrative . yet perhaps an even greater example of what might be considered the over - use of vfx was on display in the matrix sequels , resulting in the now notorious omission of revolutions from oscar consideration . speaking of the growth of vfx in the years since t2 , industrial light & magics visual effects supervisor eric brevig says , there is nothing that we cant create in terms of images . if you can think of it and communicate what you want , it can be created .\na time - honored cinematic truth was again proven in this vfx crowded year : story and character are still the foundation of a successful film , no matter what visual pyrotechnics are brought to it . after having spoken to visual effects supervisors and lead animators at ilm , digital domain , asylum and uncharted territory , one theme was universally agreed upon : vfx cannot be the emphasis of a film story must come first , a directors overall vision must be the controlling factor in a film for it to inspire the fascination that will lead viewers to be awe of the spectacle . its not just a question of less is more ; its about suiting the quantity of vfx to the narrative scope not vice versa . league of extraordinary gentlemen , with its nautilus sub so large as to seem the size of a submergible empire state building , does not have any single scene that can compete on an emotional level with the impact of the resurrection of tinker bell in peter pan , though she is merely a few inches tall .\nyou may be able to gain access using your login credentials for your institution . contact your library if you do not have a username and password .\nif your organization uses openathens , you can log in using your openathens username and password .\nnote : we only request your email address so that the person you are recommending the page to knows that you wanted them to see it , and that it is not junk mail . we do not capture any email address .\nmessage body ( your name ) thought you would like to see the film quarterly web site .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nthe primary goal of this workflow is to edit low - resolution versions of the source video clips in final cut pro but have color be able to color correct the original full - resolution source video clips and output the final movie . this is accomplished by exporting an edit decision list ( edl ) from final cut pro that color uses to match to clip records in a cinema tools database .\nthis is the simplest approach but requires a lot of disk storage space for the large video files that result . this approach is detailed in this section .\nthis approach is a bit more complicated and uses a telecine to provide the offline video for final cut pro to edit . this approach is detailed in the\nfinal cut pro cannot work directly with the dpx image sequences that are typically used in this workflow . you can use color to create quicktime files ( usually based on an apple prores codec ) from the dpx image sequences . using color ensures that the quicktime files have the correct reel number ( the folder name that contains the actual dpx files ) and timecode ( as embedded in the dpx files ) .\nyou can create these downconverted files in color by creating a new project with render file type set to quicktime and export codec set to the codec you want to use . then simply edit all the shots you want to convert into the timeline , add them to the render queue , and click start render . see the color documentation for more information .\na cinema tools database for a di workflow is much simpler than a database for a typical film workflow because there is often no film information to track . you can create the database by simply dragging the folder that contains the original media files to the cinema tools application icon ( it doesn\u2019t matter whether cinema tools is already open or not ) . a dialog appears asking if you want to create a new database . the new database creates a record for each clip found in the folder and its subfolders .\nif you create a cinema tools database by dragging a folder containing many dpx files to the cinema tools application icon , the process can take a long time and it might appear that cinema tools is not responding . be sure to give cinema tools plenty of time to process the clips ."]}

rating and features head - shots , blood - spattering squibs , impaling , stabbing , slashing , and most memorable , to me , garden - shears to the eyes . the fx , themselves , range from the poor , as evident most clearly by the rubber , dead rat , to the pretty convincing , which is thankfully most of the other effects .\nif you have the chance , run out and buy this one . it has alot of appeal and is a must have to fans of the biker -

minute 8mm short film starring bruce campbell and sam rami . director josh becker pitched the idea for the short and collaborated on the story with campbell as they were driving back from finishing filming on the evil dead . josh hoped to copy what rami had done with within the woods and use the short to pitch stryker\u2019s war as a full - length 35mm theatrical feature .\n. the material on this site may not be reproduced , distributed , transmitted , cached or otherwise used , except with the prior written permission of cond\u00e9 nast .\nthis inconsistent but interesting genre hybrid was the directing debut of josh becker , a longtime friend and collaborator of fellow michigan - born filmmaker sam raimi . thou shalt not kill . . . except is likely to interest raimi fans since it shares a lot of the same artistic quirks that defined that director ' s early work : outrageous violence , bizarre camera work , and unexpected moments of slapstick humor . raimi also steps in front of the camera in this film to deliver an unforgettably over - the - top performance as the terminally psychotic cult leader . unfortunately , thou shalt not kill . . . except lacks the kinetic pace and the consistent stylistic invention of raimi ' s work . it also suffers from some indifferent casting ( brian schulz is too young and fresh - faced to be convincing as the grizzled war veteran hero ) and weak dialogue . however , it does benefit from a truly unique rambo meets helter skelter premise . there are also plenty of gritty action scenes for the patient viewer . the battle in the vietnam - set prologue and a brawl between the heroes and a group of surly bikers are pulled off with low - budget gusto . ultimately , thou shalt not kill except is too amateurish and uneven to rate as anything more than a curio , but sam raimi cultists will find it contains enough high points to make it worth a viewing .\nan all new high definition 2k digital restoration from the original negative . the original super 8mm short film , stryker\u2019s war , starring bruce campbell . made in michigan : the making of thou shalt not kill\u2026except . two audio commentaries featuring director josh becker , co -

and - dried as some of us seem to think . the lord said , \u2018thou shalt not kill . \u2019 does that mean that every person who kills will be condemned , no matter the circumstances ? civil law recognizes that there are gradations in this matter\u2014from accidental manslaughter to self - defense to first - degree murder . i feel that the lord also recognizes differences in intent and circumstance . \u201d 6\nthe execution of criminals . \u2013some have held that the killing of man is prohibited altogether . they believe that judges in the civil courts are murderers , who condemn men to death according to the laws . against this st . augustine says that god by this commandment does not take away from himself the right to kill . thus , we read : \u201ci will kill and i will make to live . \u201d [ 5 ] it is , therefore , lawful for a judge to kill according to a mandate from god , since in this god operates , and every law is a command of god : \u201cby me kings reign , and lawgivers decree just things . \u201d [ 6 ] and again : \u201cfor if thou dost that which is evil , fear ; for he beareth not the sword in vain . because he is god\u2019s minister . \u201d [ 7 ] to moses also it was said : \u201cwizards thou shalt not suffer to live . \u201d [ 8 ] and thus that which is lawful to god is lawful for his ministers when they act by his mandate . it is evident that god who is the author of laws , has every right to inflict death on account of sin . for \u201cthe wages of sin is death . \u201d [ 9 ] neither does his minister sin in inflicting that punishment . the sense , therefore , of \u201cthou shalt not kill\u201d is that one shall not kill by one\u2019s own authority . [ 10 ]\nthou shall not kill \u2026except\u201d has met with some delay before its official re - release . in fact there\u2019s quite an interesting story behind it revealing the transfer process and synapse\u2019s dedication to seeing it restored with grain fully in tact . anyone who\u2019s in the editing world knows that it\u2019s no easy task trying to remove the flaws while keeping its film grain as authentic as release . i\u2019m sure movie watchers will appreciate the clean - up restoration .\na homegrown cult movie if there ever was one , thou shalt not kill . . . except originated in 1980 as a super 8 project starring bruce campbell designed to drum up investor interest , first under the title bloodbath and finally as stryker ' s war . by the time it finally became a full - fledged feature ( albeit on a sub - shoestring budget ) , the theatrical market that had driven the evil dead to success was rapidly swerving to home video instead ; as a result , despite positive fanzine coverage , thou shalt played only a handful of theaters before shuffling off to vhs - ville alongside other would - be drive - in staples like combat shock . a shame , really , as it ' s a whole lot of grubby fun , and the tape really didn ' t do it justice at all .\nextras for this release include the original theatrical trailer for the film ( 2 minutes 9 seconds \u2013 anamorphic widescreen ) , alternate \u2018sgt . stryker\u2019s war\u2019 title sequence ( 1 minutes 19 seconds \u2013 anamorphic widescreen ) , deleted \u2018puking\u2019 scene with audio commentary with co - screenwriter / director josh becker ( 45 seconds \u2013 anamorphic widescreen ) , a interview with actor bruce campbell ( 8 minutes 47 seconds \u2013 4 : 3 full frame ) , the original super 8mm \u2018stryker\u2019s war\u2019 short film ( 48 minutes 16 seconds \u2013 1 . 33 : 1 full frame ) , a featurette titled \u2018made in michigan : the making of thou shalt not kill\u2026 except\u2019 ( 31 minutes 56 seconds \u2013 anamorphic widescreen ) , two audio commentaries , the first one with josh becker and bruce campbell and the second one with actor brian schultz and moderator michael felsher . there is a wealth of extra content that has been compiled for this release and every aspect of this film production is covered in great detail . with this release stand out extras being the audio commentary with josh becker and the 8mm short film \u2018stryker\u2019s war\u2019 . overall thou shalt not kill\u2026 except gets a exceptional release from synapse films .\nelder boyd k . packer of the quorum of the twelve has taught : \u201cexcept where the wicked crime of incest or rape was involved , or where competent medical authorities certify that the life of the mother is in jeopardy , or that a severely defective fetus cannot survive birth , abortion is clearly a \u2018thou shalt not . \u2019 even in these very exceptional cases , much sober prayer is required to make the right choice\u201d ( ensign , nov . 1990 , p . 85 ) .\na thief comes to steal , kill , and destroy . but i came to give life\u2014life that is full and good .\nthou shall not kill\u2026 except is made by many of the same team who bought us the evil dead , including bruce campbell who came up with some of the story and producer scott speigel , who also produced this and co - wrote it as well . this is clearly a low - budget movie . but , it doesn\u2019t matter because it\u2019s filled with more enthusiasm than movies with ten times the budget . it\u2019s a complete blast , pun intended , from beginning to end .\nwhat raimi and his pals do better than anything is low budget gore . and while thou shalt doesn\u2019t have anything scary in it , the gore in the cult slaughter at the end is pretty fantastic . people get impaled on all sorts of fun things in this film .\nthou shalt not kill . . . except ( 1985 ) is an exciting and entertaining action flick . the style of the film and the action has the flavour of hong kong action films of the late 1980 ' s . the opening scenes reminded me of the vietnam prologue in the exterminator ( 1980 ) . the four marines behave like the goon squad in william lustig ' s vigilante ( 1981 ) . the final twenty minutes drift into last house on the left territory . sam raimi does a good job at playing the cult leader . it is refreshing in the way it pokes some fun at the vigilante movies .\nand thou shalt not kill\u2026 except is nothing if not entertaining . brian schulz stars as a wounded soldier who returns to the states , where he spends his days drinking with his buddies and trying to build a life with his girlfriend cheryl hausen . then hausen gets kidnapped by a band of local weirdoes , led by a stringy - haired self - proclaimed messiah played by raimi . ( sam\u2019s brother ted plays one of the leader\u2019s creepy , masked henchmen . ) across the board , the performances are either self - consciously stiff or over - the - top , and the minimal plot is mainly an excuse for plenty of scenes of shooting and stabbing , dressed up with colorful vulgarities cribbed from stephen king novels . yet thou shalt not kill is never dull , and as raimi did on his early films , becker shows a real why - the - hell - not spirit as he inserts a dog pov shot for no real reason , or has a background character idly spear a rat with bayonet , or provides a \u201csquish\u201d sound effect when raimi squeezes hausen\u2019s breasts with his bloodied hands . this movie is gleefully trashy and abandons all bounds of good taste , following the spirit of its trailer , which insists , \u201cthere are times when the laws of god and man must be put aside . \u201d\namong the treasures kept in the sacred ark of the covenant during the time of ancient israel were the two stone tablets on which were written the ten commandments . the first four of those deal with our relationship with god , and the fifth with our relationship to our parents . it was traditionally thought that the sixth commandment , \u201cthou shalt not kill\u201d ( ex . 20 : 13 ) , headed the list on the second tablet\u2014a list addressing the lord\u2019s concerns for our relationships with our fellow beings .\nfurther , many of the major moral issues of our day are related to the sixth commandment in one way or another when we take into account the postscript the lord added to it in modern revelation : \u201cthou shalt not \u2026 kill , nor do anything like unto it\u201d ( d & c 59 : 6 ; emphasis added ) . today\u2019s news headlines and broadcasts are full of issues \u201clike unto it\u201d : suicide , abortion , 3 mercy killing , toxic pollution , knowing transmittal of aids , and more .\njosh becker made his first super 8 short when he was just thirteen years old . on his way through high school , he would meet other kids who were shooting super 8 shorts as well , fellow teenage directors named scott spiegel and sam raimi , a guy named bruce campbell who could act pretty well . this bunch churned out short after short over the years . becker ' s interest in film eventually led him to move out to hollywood when he was one month shy of his 18th birthday in the summer of 1976 . he was still living there in july of ' 79 when he came up with the premise for thou shalt not kill . . . except .\nkilling of animals is lawful . \u2013in connection with this commandment there are three errors . some have said that it is not permitted to kill even brute animals . but this is false , because it is not a sin to use that which is subordinate to the power of man . it is in the natural order that plants be the nourishment of animals , certain animals nourish others , and all for the nourishment of man : \u201ceven the green herbs have i delivered them all to you . \u201d [ 2 ] the philosopher says that hunting is like a just war .

( he\u2019s played , during that period , by darcy bryce . ) in the first , desmond nearly kills hal with a brick during a play - fight ; seized by remorse , he stares fixedly at a poster in the family home that illustrates the ten commandments , and obsesses about the sixth , \u201cthou shalt not kill . \u201d but the decisive primal scene , which crops up piecemeal throughout the film , involves young desmond protecting his mother from tom by pulling a gun on his father ; though he doesn\u2019t pull the trigger , he is definitively horrified by the possibility of causing death and , from that moment on , abjures the use of firearms .\ni make special note of sam raimi , but in fact , everyone in this film did a good job with their characters . the good guys were likeable , the bad guys were vile , and the whole thing totally worked as a\ngo kill their asses\nrevenge story .\nnot flamed , but i had an eastern european boyfriend for awhile who swore up and down that plagiarizing like that in his home country wasn ' t considered cheating .\nbeing a big fan of the evil dead , i got my hopes up for this low budget affair as it features credits for a lot of the evil dead gang , and said film shows that they are all talented individuals . i respect this film on one front because it can ' t have cost much to make ; but on the other hand , it ' s not all that good . the story revolves around the common theme , seen in films such as rolling thunder , of a vietnam veteran getting revenge . this one does it in a bit more of a weird way , however , as the antagonist here is the leader of a satanic cult , and he ' s played by sam raimi ! it ' s safe to say that raimi is a far better director than actor , and even though his performance here is rubbish ; it ' s good because it ' s full of camp , and the fact that we get to see the evil dead director camping it up is the one of the film ' s biggest selling points . the main reason i wasn ' t overly impressed with thou shalt not kill . . . except was because it ' s really uneven ; certain parts of the film are interesting and entertaining , but there are huge gaps where nothing much happens . good is made of it by the ending , however , which features some nice gory scenes and high camp from most of the people involved . overall , this is worth seeing for die hard fans of the evil dead ( like me ) , but i wouldn ' t recommend going into it with your expectations raised too high .\njavascript is not enabled in your browser . enabling javascript in your browser will allow you to experience all the features of our site . learn how to enable javascript on your browser\nalthough i saw this film under the title\nthou shalt not kill except . . . ,\ni feel that it would be just as effective under any name . the film is divided into two segments , the first taking place in vietnam and the second back in the us . the gripping battle sequences of the opening section might lead you to believe that this is just a below - average combat picture . but it ' s when stryker returns to the us that the film really takes off . he returns from the front a changed man , walking with a limp as he rekindles old friendships ( and just maybe a love affair ! ) . but stryker ' s world is shattered all over again when his gal pal gets kidnapped by a murderous gang of drug - addled cretins led by sam raimi . the stage is set for stryker ro reunite his old ' nam unit and go on one last mission - - to wipe out the evil cult leader . the film is exceptionally well - written and nicely shot - - you ' ll believe they ' re actually in vietnam ! and the performances are first - rate , especially by the actors playing love machine and chainman . this is great stuff for fans of the genre , and has become a cult hit in its own right in certain areas . stryker ' s troubling return to ' normalcy ' closely parallels the experience of many vietnam vets whose lives were torn apart by guys just like chainman . well worth checking out , if you can find a copy ."]}

five years after an event people come together to recall it ? what happens when what they recall suddenly comes alive for them ? what happens when that event is the shooting of students on a midwest college campus during the protests of the viet nam war ? nightwalking is an exploration of the memories surrounding one day in may of 1970 when four students were shot to death on a college campus . it is a dramatic chorus of testimonies and the trip back in time for one of the witnesses to his own family . often non - linear , dream - like with a chorale quality , nightwalking brings us the reality of those days as the civil war gripped the country , and the truth that can still never be fully understood of the tragedy that stopped a campus \u00ad and a nation . nightwalking is the journey people must take to relive , remember and release from those times .\nto use a dickensian phrase , nightwalking is a matter of \u201cgoing astray\u201d in the streets of the city after dark . dickens is the great heroic and neurotic nightwalker of the 19th century . in 1860 , in the guise of the uncommercial traveller , he made a crucial distinction between two kinds of walking : one that is \u201cstraight on end to a definite goal at a round pace\u201d ; another that is \u201cobjectless , loitering , and purely vagabond\u201d . if the point of the first kind of walking is to travel from one point to another , the point of the second is that there is no point at all . its purpose is its purposelessness . nightwalking , according to this logic , is pointless . it is uncommercial .\nfriday , that campaign moves from blogging and nightwalking to something a bit less bleary - eyed as officials from the animation guild and its union parent , iatse , hold a lunch - hour meeting friday in culver city to answer questions and attempt to persuade spi employees and other vfx artists to sign the cards , which are a key step in unionizing the workforce .\nin an economy in which time , including nighttime , is money , wandering the streets after dark \u2013 when most people are sleeping in order to prepare themselves for the next day\u2019s labour \u2013 is in symbolic terms subversive . in the aberrant and deviant form celebrated by dickens in the 19th century , and surreptitiously practised by innumerable others before and since , nightwalking is quintessentially objectless , loitering and vagabond .\nnot until 1827 was the ancient legislation against nightwalking finally repealed in england . however , human perception and the law often move at different speeds , and even though it was no longer a criminal offence to stroll or saunter at night , that did not prevent a newly formed police force from detaining anyone who gave cause for suspicion , even if that amounted to little more than looking a bit shifty .\ne dinburgh\u2019s eyes of others magnificent never complain was a recent scottish fiction track of the day , with its amalgamation of kraftwerk and lcd soundsystem providing one of the best electronic tracks of the year . that track has been followed by the release of eyes of others \u2018 new ep nightwalking which takes the band\u2019s sound in a more mellow , less dancey direction but still produces four superb examples of modern synthpop .\nnightwalking\u2019s emphasis on london , and the writers who paced its streets , doesn\u2019t mean an apology to other cities is necessary : london can here stand for all cities , which means beaumont can concentrate \u2013 not exclusively , but mostly \u2013 on the writers who have been shaped by the city , or shaped our understanding of it . it also gives the book solid ground , so to speak , on which to operate .\n\u201cthis is a book pulsing with life , just as the streets do , despite attempts to cut that liminal , semi - illicit life off . the foreword and afterword , by will self , beautifully bracket the book , reinforcing the idea that the city is layered over time , and that each layer is accessible , and can be made vivid in the imagination . why nightwalking has not won a major award is beyond mine . \u201d\nnot all walking at night , then , is nightwalking . but most forms of solitary walking at night are nonetheless tainted , sometimes faintly with dubious moral or social associations . indeed , even apparently purposeful walking in the city at night is not exempt from the assumption that it is suspicious . to be alone in the streets , even if one walks rapidly , determinedly , is to invite the impression that one is on the run , either from oneself or from another .\nwith a running time of three minutes , nightwalking is barely longer than some television commercials yet it manages to do what it sets out to do in the perfect amount of time for the story being told . from the opening shots , one might get the impression that nighwalking is a horror short and indeed director daniel cormack and cinematographer sam osborne make these shots so atmospheric and delightfully creepy that some may be disappointed that the short doesn ' t continue down the horror path . what follows instead is a wickedly funny , darkly comic situation that any one who has ever walked along a dimly lit street at night can relate to . had the short gone on too long , the scenario could have become a bit over - the - top and lost some of its effectiveness . as it is , nightwalking is well worth checking out more than once and a great time - killer for anyone who has a few minutes to spare . 9 / 10\nnightwalking was at times a dense read , but no less enjoyable for that . it blends social and legal history with literary history and commentary in a remarkable way , drawing some fascinating conclusions . i loved the profiles of the various writers , and the way beaumont linked their nocturnal wanderings to their writing , and to the views of the time in which they lived . given its tone , this is probably a book more for readers used to perusing heavier , academic texts than those looking for a light\nbut the writer at the core of beaumont ' s book is dickens , several centuries later , who pounded london ' s streets at night whenever he happened on a tricky patch in one of his novels . in an 1853 piece for household words called\ngoing astray\n, dickens recalled getting lost as a child in london , and roaming late into the night . the experience sparked a lifetime of nightwalking .\ni have gone astray since , many times , and farther afield ,\nhe wrote .\ndespite a cursory acknowledgement towards the beginning that nightwalking isn ' t gender - neutral - beaumont concedes that women who walk at night have long been seen as either prostitutes or potential victims - he then largely dismisses women from his study . welcome exceptions include a precis of the midnight ramble , a fictional account ( anonymous , but probably written by a man ) from 1754 of two gleeful women who explore london by night in disguise . they end up playing a trick on their unfaithful husbands and returning home triumphant .\na woman takes a shortcut and is followed by a stranger . she is scared and is thinking whether she should run or not . out of the blue , she decides to turn around and she sees nothing but a cell phone on the floor . in flashback , we see the stranger embarrassed for the reaction of the woman . he is aware that she believes that he might be a rapist following her , and he decides to call his mother to talk loudly on the phone and calm down the woman . however , something happens and the stranger vanishes .\nnightwalking\nis another short by daniel cormack about the paranoia of persons that live in big cities . the screenplay is witty and concise and the conclusion is ironic and open . the fate of the stranger could have been shown : dead , for a dark end ; or he stands up and dates the woman , for a heartwarming conclusion . or maybe this is a good starting point for a sequel . my vote is seven . title ( brazil ) :\nnightwalking\nthe most surprising revelation of beaumont\u2019s book is how recently we have come to regard nightwalking with anything other than suspicion and alarm . for more than 1 , 000 years it was a crime . as early as the 12th century , the nightwalker appeared in a nervously extended list of the capital\u2019s social evils : \u201cactors , jesters , smooth -

bridge at eight o ' clock in the evening , with leave to roam about as long as i like , and i would come home , as you know , panting to go on . . . i am sadly strange as it is , and can ' t settle .\nnightwalking was at times a dense read , but no less enjoyable for that . it blends social and legal history with literary history and commentary in a remarkable way , drawing some fascinating conclusions . i loved the profiles of the various writers , and the way beaumont linked their nocturnal wanderings to their writing , and to the views of the time in which they lived . given its tone , this is probably a book more for readers used to perusing heavier , academic texts than those looking for a light non - fiction read along the lines of peter ackroyd . however , if you are inclined to give it a try , it more than pays off your time and effort as it is an intriguing study .\nnightwalking is a film of about 2 minutes duration and it has some interesting and universal points to make . i don ' t think that there is anyone who hasn ' t had some trepidation about being in a deserted place and then having said trepidation multiply exponentially when you realize there is someone else on the street and what could that person ' s intentions be ? those vibrations are also felt by the other party and if you are completely innocent one doesn ' t like the idea of someone else thinking you have evil on your mind . no dialog comes from the mouths of the two players . but we do here their thoughts cross - cutting in narration . an interesting bit of psychological probing on film .\nif solitary men on the streets at night have exercised a right to the city denied to solitary women , then they too have often been identified or represented as pariahs . people who walk about at night with no obvious reason to do so , whether male or female , have attracted suspicion , opprobrium and legal recrimination from patriarchs , politicians , priests and others in authority , including the police , for thousands of years . in 1285 , edward i introduced a specific \u201cnightwalker statute\u201d in order to police the movement of plebeian people \u2013 especially migrants , vagrants and prostitutes \u2013 after the 9pm curfew . but long after this statute became impossible to implement , because of the rise of \u201cnightlife\u201d , the authorities continued to construe nightwalking as deviant .\nand he has plenty of writers to draw from . there are nearly 500 pages in the book , with notes , and it bursts with learning . in fact , you get the impression that beaumont has had to leave masses of stuff out , for reasons of space . he stops with dickens , you feel , from exhaustion , but there is no sense of a history that is over , or dead : this is a book pulsing with life , just as the streets do , despite attempts to cut that liminal , semi - illicit life off . the foreword and afterword , by will self , beautifully bracket the book , reinforcing the idea that the city is layered over time , and that each layer is accessible , and can be made vivid in the imagination . why nightwalking has not won a major award is beyond mine .\nan attractive woman walks down the street alone . she is being followed by an attractive man . of course as a woman , i sympathize with her about being followed whether innocent or not of anything . there is not much language between the characters but the tension is built and sent on screen . it ' s quite a chilling experience to walk a two minute movie . i think daniel mccormack and the film company do an excellent job bringing to this small slice of life to the screen . nightwalking is a chilling , realistic tale of what could happen to this woman as well as this man . you ask yourself a hundred questions about what happens next in the film . do they ever get together ? this film despite it ' s shortness is quite entertaining and chilling at the same time . i wished there was more of it .\nyet the urge to walk the streets at night is irrepressible . you can do it , like charles dickens , when you are stuck in composition ; or you may be prompted by insomnia , or curiosity , or perversity \u2013 or lust . \u201clove only is awake . . . love of no heartless order , legal or illegal\u201d was how leigh hunt put it in his \u201cwalks home by night\u201d , which was published in 1828 \u2013 the year after nightwalking became officially legal . \u201cit is a playful , if slightly complacent , allusion to the presence of prostitutes in the streets\u201d , matthew beaumont notes , and indeed the theme of prostitution continues through the book . women walking the streets after dark have long been considered either to be prostitutes , or potential victims of rapists ; this shameful double standard has fuelled much reflection , whether in the statutes of medieval times , or the descriptions of bawds and bawdy houses throughout the years .\ni haven ' t seen very many short urltoken fact , i think this may be the only one i ' ve seen but i liked this one . i could really relate to the man , as i have been in similar situations . i liked the voice over from the two characters . this doesn ' t always work , but i found it effective urltoken gives us a glimpse into the characters . obviously , you won ' t have a lot of character development in 2 . 5 minutes , but like i said , the voice over urltoken also conveys the humorous aspect quite well . i also like the camera urltoken for the ending , i thought it was ok . maybe it could have been expanded a bit , but i think it works the way it is . i think this is a very good short film and also a good introduction to the genre for me . i give nightwalking an 8 / 10\nthe great thing about short films is that they can be like those jokes your coworker tells , but in cinematic form . daniel cormack ' s nightwalking is one of those cinematic jokes that plays on the awkward social dilemma of essentially existing in the same space as each other . a woman walking home feels the presence of a stranger behind her , and getting more and more worried , picks up the pace in order to get away from him , but isn ' t prepared for . meanwhile , a young man walking home finds himself behind a woman , thinking to himself ,\njust great , now she probably thinks i ' m a rapist .\nit could use the slightest of paring down . the first half uses jump cuts and digital editing to build a sort of supernatural thriller style horror , whereas the second half is more straight - forward , as per the characters ' perspectives . i think the guy walking behind the girl is creepy enough without the aural fizzles and video jumps , though . still , nonetheless an entertaining two and a half minutes . - - polarisdib\na young woman is seen walking late at night on an desolated and dark street . her thoughts we hear clearly ; she is terrorized by the man that is walking behind her . what to do ? it ' s apparent there is no other way for her to get to where she is going but straight ahead on the road . yet , she decides to stop and confront the menacing figure . a short while later , we get to see the would - be assailant . he is an ordinary guy that happens to be walking in the same road . he realizes the fears he produces in the woman in front of him . he has a plan to calm her , but unfortunately , things get in his way . daniel cormack , working with ben clover , the screen writer , produced an excellent short that plays with our worst anxieties . how many times have we been in similar situations ? one tends to think the worst , or let our fears play tricks on us .\nnightwalking\nsurprises because of its pace and wit . we look forward to new things coming from mr . cormack , who seems to have a rare eye for finding unusual things in his films .\nan attractive and stylishly dressed young woman and a young man make up the cast in this three - minute film , the thematic basis of which is a common urban fear . the script is clever and at times funny . thoughts of the two characters are conveyed via v . o . ; otherwise , there is no spoken dialogue . the plot takes place entirely at night , presumably in a back alley . sound effects consist of amplified footsteps . and the unobtrusive background music is in sync with the terror motif . at various points we can hear what sounds like a heartbeat , which pulsates with the onset of fear . and the juxtaposition of that emotion with a humorous script creates a sense of irony . the film ' s ending is a bit enigmatic , or open to interpretation , which i like . of the several daniel cormack films i have watched , this is probably my least favorite , mainly because of its brevity . the ultra short runtime conveys the director ' s point efficiently . but i would like to have seen more story . also , in a couple of places , the camera seemed too close - in to the characters ; backing away to show some surroundings might have added to the sense of terror . overall ,\nnightwalking\nis a good film and well worth watching , mostly for its clever script and thematic irony .\nbeing one of the few people who uses the list of reviewers that i do here , the maker of this film invited many of us writers to watch and review his film . on reflection this is a risk because if the thirty people he invited , watch it and think it is a piece of rubbish then that is what his page will reflect ! with this in mind i decided that his confidence in his latest short must be based on something so i should check it out \u0096 which , after about of month of sky then virgin both messing me around with the broadband service , i eventually did tonight . in terms of plot we are in the minds of two people walking alone at night \u0096 the woman worried the man behind her is a rapist , the man worried that the woman will think he is a rapist . in this way it is quite engaging to see the embarrassment come out of nowhere and this part of the film works really well . unfortunately cormack lacks a strong finish and the punch line is too obvious and doesn ' t fit with the more observational comedy of the short before . direction wise it is well done with effective lighting and camera motion with the two walkers and yet again i have no doubt that cormack is good at what he does . ok so make me a tory was weak as dishwater but i ' m not sure that wasn ' t his channel 4 handlers ' fault . nightwalking is not brilliant but for the most part it is quite smart \u0096 a stronger ending is needed though .\nbeing raped is something that ' s always at the back of a woman ' s mind . unless you ' re stuck in an american prison the chances of a man being raped are very remote hence we , the male of the species , don ' t have to worry about rape too much . however we also seem to suffer the fear and paranoia that we ' ll be accused of something we didn ' t do or even a woman thinking of us being a sexual predator . i remember being invited along with several others to watch documentaries in the flat of a renowned epistemological film critic . this was a fairly common event at the time and in order to see the tv better the lights would be turned off . just before the video was turned on the girl sitting beside me decided she ' d sit on the floor to get a better view .\nwhat you sitting down there for ?\ni asked\nscared ah ' m gonna feel you up when the lights go out ?\ncue some embarrassed laughter and many dirty looks . if i recall that was the last time i was invited anywhere nightwalking reflects this paranoia of both sexes . we see a woman walking down a dark , lonely street and there ' s a man walking behind her . the first half of this very economical short by daniel cormack and ben clover shows us the fear of the woman while the second half shows us the paranoia of the man . in many ways it ' s structured like a joke except you won ' t feel like laughing too much when the punchline is revealed\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nsilvia gigliodro 20mins 15 a journey through a gay cruising park in the heart of rome -

speaking regions of the americas , a young woman\u2019s celebration of her fifteenth birthday , which is celebrated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays . the word is also used to refer to the young woman whose 15th birthday is being celebrated ( analogous to the word cumplea\u00f1era for \u201cbirthday girl\u201d ) .\nwhen it comes to your home we know that street appeal can make a big difference in how you feel about your property , and how much it\u2019s worth . and there is something about a lush green lawn that you can\u2019t put a value on . and even if the size of your front yard is modest , that doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t be gorgeous . thought , care , and strategic landscaping can transform even the humblest of front yards into showstoppers .\nto keep your law alive there are three things you have to do : mow it , water it and feed it . mowing the lawn seems easy , right ? you just start the lawn mower , push it all over the lawn and that\u2019s it . true , but if you want a healthier , better looking lawn , there is a lot more to do .\nfirst thing to remember is to mow often enough that you never remove 1 / 3 of the height of the grass . apart from mowing safely , one of the most important aspects of mowing is to get the height of the cut right . if you have a free draining soil and watering equipment , you can get away with cutting the grass really short . in other cases making sure that lawn is the right height is very important . that can be achieved by simply raising the mower height . if you have areas of your lawn that are in the shade most of the time , you need to leave them higher that the other parts . the extra leaf allows your lawn to tolerate lower light level conditions . f\nor cutting away light brush and tall grasses choking up your yard and garden , use a weed wacker ( ba\u0161tenski trimeri . )\nthere are times that you will need to drop the height of the mower much lower . each spring is the perfect time to de - thatch your lawn , and your lawn mower is the perfect tool for the job . drop the mower to the lowest setting and scalp away . make sure you collect all the clippings , and after that fertilize you lawn with a slow release fertilizer . the result after two to three weeks will be a nice lush green turf .\ntrees can look amazing and define your landscape but without the proper care a tree can over time turn from beautiful asset into a costly and dangerous problem . for the proper tree care and the best results you should hire a professional tree service . certified arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees , and trained to provide proper care so your trees and shrubbery preserve their beauty , structure and health . pruning plays an important role in reducing risk of storm damage and danger of falling branches . hiring a professional tree contractor will ensure that all the work is done properly , your trees remain healthy and your neighborhood safe . that includes all kinds of tree cutting , trimming or removal of diseased , broken , or dead branches .\nevery tree can either be an asset to your landscape or a potential risk . sometimes a tree just needs to be cut down , whether it\u2019s old and diseased or it becomes a danger to your home . a professional tree company can handle the tree removal process safely and quickly and make sure not to endanger your property , home or family members .\na stump sticking out from the ground is rarely a pretty sight and it can also present an annoyance or even a safety hazard . stump grinding is the perfect way to remove stumps that remain after the tree removal .\nthere are couples , whose love after the years of marriage and living together still grows strong , in fact , it seems that their bond is stronger and deeper than ever . if you are one of those couples you have probably thought of renewing your vows . and , although the organization of renewing vows party is simpler than the wedding , it also requires time and planning . that is why , we give you couple of tips to successfully organize the renewing your vows .\nbudget : before organizing any event it is essential to make a budget , and the vow renewal is not an exception . when a couple prepares their wedding , you know that you will spend significant sum , so you are more careful with spending . but when you organize a party for renewing vows , it is easy to forget the budget planning , because you think you are not going to spend that much money anyway . well , think again !\nguests : although it\u2019s totally up to you who you want to invite to your vows renewal , we suggest that you invite only your closest family and friends . this ceremony is much more intimate than the wedding , so there is no need to invite your parents\u2019 friends , co - workers , or anyone that is not really close to you and know you well as a couple .\nthe dress : there are brides who don\u2019t have a problem with wearing white again , and that\u2019s perfectly fine . however , remember that vow renewal is not a second wedding . the wedding vow renewal is an intimate ceremony so select an appropriate dress \u2014 one that screams romance . take a look at some designers with simple casual wedding dresses in their collections , as these are perfect for the informal ceremony of renewing your vows .\nthat\u2019s why it is true that cycling is good , we must never forget that it is an endurance sport , so are important training , graduation and attention to some things that can enhance our bike ride experience .\nsue wong is a woman of contrasts . she appears petite , but possesses a grand presence that fills an entire room . her designs are recognizable for power and strength , but there is also a romantic fantasy and poetic lyricism in her work . this collision of polar opposites creates the frisson that fuels sue wong\u2019s designs and has established her signature style . the inspiring sue wong nocturne collection is dream embodied in fashion and design .\nborn into humble circumstances in a remote countryside in southern china , at the age of six , sue moved to the united states with her mother and a year later reunited with sue\u2019s father in los angeles . she was initially interested in arts , but sue would also create her own paper dolls and their entire lavish wardrobe , practicing her interest in fashion design . however , sue started making her own clothes when she was nine years old . in high school she was chosen from over three hundred female classmates to be a member of the may company teen board , and landed the opportunity to work in modeling , assisting in window display and merchandising . later sue opened up a one - of - a - kind boutique shop in bohemian venice , california , and another upscale boutique in west hollywood with a stunning art deco interior . so her signature vintage style was born and solidified . sue took details from vintage garments from the twenties , thirties and forties , extracted the hand - made detailing such as beadwork and embroidery and redesigned an entire new garment , incorporating the detailing of the vintage embellishments into her new design .\ndeciding to become a \u201cblogger\u201d is easy , but what really takes to belong to this category ? regardless of the type of blog you have ( lifestyle , food , fashion\u2026 ) here\u2019s what your true blogger kit should include ."]}

( zane\u2019s costume combined with the skulls of touganda do the trick . ) admittedly , the lines gets blurry . also absent from this list is any consideration of foreign superhero films . that\u2019s not because some are not worthy\u2014especially given the movie quality issue mentioned at the top\u2014it\u2019s just an area we\u2019d rather get better versed in before pouring into this list . next year , perhaps .\nthis father ' s education methods are hilarious and a conservative ' s nightmare . they make for the most funny parts of the film , but there are plenty of thought - provoking scenes too . mortensen deserved his oscar nomination in the lead role , dominating every beautifully shot scene , although all other performances are great too . the result is a quirky comedy drama that clearly wanted to walk in little miss sunshine ' s shoes but ends up a tad too pretentious in its final act . still , very enjoyable and entertaining .\nlist requires the exclusion of arguably good films to select the best 100\u2014for superhero movies ? the pickings get slim after 40 . in fact , the real challenge for this list was choosing amongst the dreck ( some of it beloved dreck ! ) that would fill out the bottom half . it turns out it\u2019s much easier to argue for or against a top 10 film\u2019s exact placement ( and frankly , compelling arguments could be made for almost any of our top 5 as deserving the # 1 position ) , than weighing the relative \u201cmerits\u201d of\npart of the \u201990s pulp movie train that included the phantom and the rocketeer , russell mulcahy\u2019s the shadow is the least of the trio , though that\u2019s really more a function of setting than anything else . alec baldwin \u2019s lamont cranston comes from the well - established \u201ccrime - fighting multi - millionaire\u201d school of do - gooder ( that\u2019s got to be the best school , right ? ) and the shadow\u2019s powers to befuddle minds and be invisible make him the bookish , pasty cousin of the high - flying , nazi - battling rocketeer or the jungle - to - new york - and - back - again phantom . nonetheless , even as the script hobbles the film\u2019s otherwise sleek design , baldwin shows an alec guinness - worthy ability to inhabit strange characters and deliver potentially hokey lines with sincerity and charm . ( seriously , check out his turn as the conductor in 2000\u2019s thomas and the magic railroad \u2014the man kills it . ) but while that may make the film must - see for all his fans , it\u2019s probably not enough to justify anyone else seeing it . \u2014m . b .\njustly escapes the condemnation ben affleck got for his go at daredevil , and the action scenes and cast of villains have some moments , but none sustained enough to replace the feeling on the viewer\u2019s part that even if this film was a box office bomb which landed with a critical thud , it might not have missed by as large a distance as many others on this list . but , hey , a miss is a miss , and much like the man without fear , elektra would just have to wait for netflix for her next iteration .\nsuper deluxe , which launched early last year , is testing different forms of storytelling to engage young viewers . it has sought out unconventional characters to develop scripted programs for television , screwball contests for the internet , political spoofs and other videos , including the over - the - top telenovela , for facebook live , the platform that enables users to share live videos with their friends . the videos have generated eye - popping traffic numbers and high levels of viewer engagement .\nwriter david goyer was clearly in way over his head beyond oswalt\u2019s telling in directing this sequel . so many terrible decisions made it all the way to the celluloid\u2014parker posey\u2019s woefully miscast vampire villainess , the short , trunk - necked dracula with underbite fangs and played more as a wwe heel ( instead of an ancient evil awoken after centuries ) by dominic purcell , and even posey\u2019s little pomeranian dog that\u2019s actually a reaper - thing ? you know , the super vampires from\n( and its sequel , and 2015\u2019s trankian abomination\u2026 ) fails . for whatever reason , the writers , directors and studio decision makers shy away from just allowing one of marvel\u2019s transcendent villains from being himself . thus , while michael chiklis\u2019 thing and chris evans\u2019 human torch ring true , ioan gruffudd\u2019s mister fantastic is serviceable , and jessica alba is , eh , jessica alba , the film\u2019s thunderous whiff on victor von doom leaves viewers new to the material unimpressed and fans of the source material keenly aware of what\u2019s been squandered . but hey , at least the sequel features galactus , right ?\nthomas jane as frank castle\u2014he doesn\u2019t announce that he is the punisher until the movie\u2019s last dud of a moment\u2014looks good in a black tee - shirt and a leather duster . he is the perfectly serviceable punisher , and as the psp , jane\u2019s whole dead - eyed android schtick seems like a reasonable character decision to make for an actor responding to the script before him . so when he stabs a slimy thug through the jaw\u2014when he , inevitably , kills everybody \u2014you feel fine about it . he has well - sculpted muscles . the film\u2019s real treat is john travolta as tampa crime lord howard saint , a damnedly vain man slowly transforming into a bitter gargoyle , and a prime argument for travolta\u2019s late - career purpose as vod cinema\u2019s go - to slick asshole / bad guy . in fact , once the punisher reaches its third act , when all of castle\u2019s \u201cpunishments\u201d start clicking into place , jonathan hensleigh\u2019s film feels like it could , just maybe , have been something great\u2014capped off with a final murder so satisfying it should both shame and captivate you . meanwhile , rebecca romijn listens to some dope - ass n\u00fc - metal and beta version ben foster is here , real sweaty . \u2014d . s .\nif this first incredible hulk stand - alone movie had come along later , in the days of the mcu , it never would have been placed into the hands of ang lee . it\u2019s a truly lofty endeavor , but one that is badly misjudged by its writers and oscar - winning director . the hulk simply isn\u2019t a character that fits or deserves \u201cgreek tragedy , \u201d as lee was quoted in describing the film\u2019s theme . in the end , he\u2019s a dual character\u2014a typically unlikable , whiny scientist , and a raging , smashing automaton , neither of whom lend themselves well to daddy issues and attempts at deep pathos . the film\u2019s interesting aspects tend to revolve around its unique visual style , which lee used to directly reference and allude to the sequential , flowing experience of flipping through comic panels . however , it\u2019s simultaneously let down somewhat by cheap - looking hulk visuals ( even for 2003 ) , and an antagonist in the form of bruce banner\u2019s father as played by nick nolte , who feels like he\u2019s walking through his scenes , improvising every other sentence . this hulk aspired toward grand psychological drama for a character the mcu later proved was much more lovable in a more limited capacity . \u2014j . v .\na neon noir reveling in vulgarity , punisher : war zone may be the nastiest marvel movie the company\u2019s ever put their name behind ( counting deadpool ) , mostly because of ray stevenson , who plays frank castle with enough gnarled dread to make any of film\u2019s levity seem well earned . director lexi alexander of course doesn\u2019t shy away from the franchise\u2019s patented superhuman hyper - violence\u2014witness more than one fully collapsed face within the course of three minutes\u2014and her sense of space in otherwise straightforward action scenes is pretty impeccable . all in all , it\u2019s tasteless , gross , visceral , endlessly surprising and totally without expectation\u2014it is , in other words , the kind of superhero movie \u201cthey\u201d just don\u2019t make anymore . i don\u2019t know whether that\u2019s a good thing or not . \u2014dom sinacola\noddball in the series : the dev team ( led by hiroji kiyotake ) made a deliberate decision to do away with conventional ideas featured in the mario series so that their game could stand on its own legs . examples of their decision - making include the game ' s plot ( which features mario fighting to retake something that belongs to him rather than to save someone else ) , mario having his own kingdom and castle , and the sound effects ( which , in an earlier build , were the same as those featured in super mario world , but were changed mid - development to new sounds so as not to give players the impression that they were playing the\ndowngraded\nversion of a\nreal\nmario game ) ."]}

the - scenes footage from my own private idaho into the 12 - hour film endless idaho which circa andy warhol provides an unprecedented look into the workaday process of making a movie , from location scouting to repeated takes . in a blend of documentary and fiction , interviews with actual hustlers who played secondary characters in my own private idaho are intercut with shots of river phoenix and keanu reeves improvising and refining their performances under the direction of van sant and his crew\u201d . by contrast , my own private river \u201cconsists largely of shots of phoenix\u2019s character woven into a compelling portrait . franco describes being mesmerized by phoenix \u2018s \u2018uninhibited acting\u2019 in this unreleased footage , and his edit captures the gifted actor at his most emotionally expressive and physically dynamic\u201d .\nthe 2015 criterion release of my own private idaho is based on a new 4k digital transfer , and presented in the film\u2019s original 1 . 85 : 1 aspect radio . this release includes a number of extras , most of which were also included in the 2005 release from criterion .\na strong beginning that becomes a bit cryptic towards the end , my own private idaho is a respectable piece of film and is pure van sant . the poetic dialogue in some scenes mixed in with river phoenix ' s narcolepsy brings a story that develops unusual characters and a excellent adventure .\nmy own private idaho finds a home in cinema revolution as one of the first major titles from fine line features , a production / distribution company that was founded in 1990 as the art house division of new line cinema and run by cinema revolution curator ira deutchman from 1990 - 1995 .\nmy own private idaho , van sant\u2019s third feature film , is a landmark of the new queer cinema of the 1990s - a movement which gave voice and expression to lgbtq stories , while also exhibiting distinctly fluid and subversive styles of filmmaking that rejected conventional narrative forms . accordingly , my own private idaho\u2019s story about a group of young male hustlers in portland has an episodic structure , and is visually and tonally experimental . a dense dreaminess implants mike\u2019s narcolepsy within the film\u2019s fabric . this magnifies the sense that mike is adrift without an anchor ; that he experiences the world through an altered reality , where time is fragmented .\nthe shakepearean subtlety and sedation found in \u201cmy own private idaho\u201d is seen loosely , aside from the plot , on the characters\u2019 lines as well . the lyrical and poetic tone of mike , scott , and bob\u2019s words are actually paraphrases of shakespeare\u2019s script from his play , henry iv . compared to the loud , aggressive , and violent depiction of shakespeare\u2019s titus andronicus by julie taymor , there is no doubt that \u201cmy own private idaho\u201d is more tranquil and relaxed . it may also be attributed to the different contents and contexts of the two plays , but it can nevertheless be credited to the two directors\u2019 treatments of the material .\nmy own private idaho is not a genre film , per se , but it is a formula film in the fact that there is a main character ( mike ) who is searching for a long - lost relative . generally formula films are simply reworkings of cookie - cutter stories , but director / screenwriter gus van zant has decided to work a formula story into a product which contains unconventional ideas and characters , and forms of sexuality which are not appealing to the general public . these ingredients make for a very unpredictable film , yet it is a formula film nonetheless . my own private idaho is certainly not typical hollywood fare .\neven as hand2mouth seeks to audio - visually transport its audience to a sepia - toned past , walters insists that\ntime , a fair hustler ,\nisn ' t purely nostalgic - - not about the\nlife on the edge\nportrayed in\nmy own private idaho ,\nnor about the lost city the film portrays .\nriver phoenix died of an overdose just two years after making idaho , leaving behind a powerful legacy of performance which included stand by me , the mosquito coast and an oscar - nominated turn in running on empty . but as the drug - taking , narcoleptic street hustler mike waters in my own private idaho , phoenix delivered the gutsiest performance of his career and was rewarded with an independent spirit award for best male lead .\nmy own private idaho and the living end are very private films . conspicuously addressed to a particular audience and commercially limited by both budget and aesthetics they are not films open to everyone , entries into universal popular culture that could potentially play to random spectators . they are special , personal films that rely on audience identification for much of their impact . though it is impossible to demonstrate a gay - male - heavy demographic break down of the audiences of these two films , and though the star power of phoenix and reeves has no doubt drawn many non - gay male viewers to my own private idaho , the assumption that the two films enjoyed a proportionately large amount of interested gay male viewers on their initial release is , i believe , a reasonable one ( 10 ) .\nmy own private idaho will play in the annex cinema tonight at 7 pm , the penultimate addition to cinema revolution . next week , we will conclude with robert altman\u2019s 1992 black comedy , the player . next , be on the lookout for the release of our annual summer classics film series coming next month . see you at the michigan !\nfrank church wilderness , idaho the largest wilderness in the lower 48 states and my personal favourite . the middle fork section of the salmon river is a legend among rafters .\nbefore good will hunting and finding forrester ; before the ill - advised psycho remake and the experimental gerry ; before the movies about harvey milk and kurt cobain , portland - based indie auteur gus van sant made my own private idaho , an avant - garde drama starring river phoenix as a narcoleptic gay hustler and keanu reeves as his friend and co - worker .\nmy own private idaho is a wistful , delicate hybrid , a movie that does more than it could possibly seem to be doing at once . on the 25th anniversary of its release , it reminds us of the risks hollywood\u2019s periphery used to take , and of the stakes that even a not explicitly political movie often had ascribed to it . van sant grew up in a wild era for cinema , amid an explosion of radical underground movies by the likes of andy warhol , but also on the cusp of new hollywood . his own art is a symptom of both trends , which might explain why a movie like my own private idaho now registers as a strange artifact , off - kilter and unusual but not quite avant - garde . van sant\u2019s approach comes off as natural and lived in , warm rather than academic .\nas a retelling of shakespeare\u2019s \u201chenry v , \u201d now set among street hustlers , \u201cmy own private idaho\u201d was by turns nonchalant and touching , structurally loose but coherent , graced with unexpected lyrical images and narrative hairpins . shakespeare is used in the film to convey the transcendence of time , wishing to convey that mike and scott are figures than can exist anywhere and anytime .\nphoenix\u2019s best performances stand out because of this intimacy . his work in my own private idaho is all heart \u2013 open and unselfconscious , bruised yet tough . he brings us painfully close to mike so we care what happens , where he goes , what will come next . van sant\u2019s film is a testament to the actor\u2019s beauty , vulnerability , and his abundant talent .\non this day in 1991 , my own private idaho , an independent film written and directed by gus van sant and starring keanu reeves and river phoenix , premieres at the new york film festival . the movie told the story of two young male hustlers , one of whom ( phoenix ) is a hapless narcoleptic searching for the mother who abandoned him , and the other of whom ( reeves ) comes from a wealthy family ( the character was inspired , in part , by shakespeare\u2019s prince hal in henry iv ) . the pair meets in portland , oregon , and later travels to idaho and italy . my own private idaho \u2013the title reportedly came from a song by the rock band the b - 52s\u2013was nominated for six independent spirit awards and won for best screenplay , best male lead ( phoenix ) and best film music .\nthe late river phoenix opens gus van sant\u2019s 1991 surrealist drama my own private idaho on an open road in the middle of a stunningly vacant idaho landscape . he is completely alone yet sets the stage by breaking out into soliloquy , as an actor would at the beginning of a stage play . it\u2019s a stylization choice from van sant and a reoccurring theme in the film that explores the lives of street hustlers in the pacific northwest , projected through a shakespearean lens .\nafter getting some attention with his micro - budget debut , mala noche , van sant wanted to make my own private idaho next . but everyone in hollywood told him a story of gay hustlers was too\nniche\nto get any traction . so instead he made drugstore cowboy , about a roving band of junkies who rob pharmacies\u2014a premise with more mainstream appeal , apparently .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthe music selected by van zant for this project consists primarily of old american folk tunes . therefore it is not incidental in nature , rather it provides a continual background\nmood music\neffect . this is totally incongruous to the typical hollywood style , where the story is punctuated by orchestral music . the style of music used in my own private idaho perfectly suits the smooth , unobtrusive editing and chronological narrative structure . my own private idaho has a very slow , leisurely pace . scenes flow at an almost standstill rate , focusing on small details . sometimes this is beneficial , as the dialog seems to be written as though it were a literary masterpiece and not natural speech . the slow pace gives the audience time to contemplate what the characters are speaking of .\nany would - be filmmaker can tell you how nerve - racking it is to meet with potential producers and then wait to hear back about whether they ' re going to make your movie . van sant said he found out his producers had committed to making my own private idaho when other filmmakers told him ,\ncongratulations , they ' re skipping our film to make yours . \u201d\nmy own private idaho , on the other hand , often seems as rootless as poor mike . yet the film has an authentic emotional lyricism . when van sant shows us speeded - up images of clouds rolling past wheat fields , the familiar device transcends cliche , because it\u2019s tied to the way that mike , in his benumbed isolation , experiences his own life \u2014 as a running piece of surrealism . the sheer , expressive beauty of those images haunted me for days . a -\n- the making of my own private idaho , a documentary that runs about 40 minutes and includes editor curtis clayton , directors of photography john campbell and eric alan edwards and production designer david brisbin talking about the film\u2019s development , production and post - production . good stuff , if you enjoy going beyond the principal creatives to find out what other above - the - line people think about filmmak\nmy own private idaho \u2018s mike ( river phoenix ) is always destined to end up in the same place . no matter where he goes , he will always end up on this deserted road in idaho where the film begins . he can go anywhere in the world and he\u2019ll end up back where he started , dealing with his thoughts , his fading memories , and his narcolepsy . this is his existence , almost the entirety of it : go somewhere , meet people , have sex , come back here . my own private idaho is an almost aimless film , there is no traditional narrative and many scenes occur with no real sense or purpose . while there is sometimes the idea of a plot or narrative goal , the film isn\u2019t really about that ; instead , it\u2019s a film about characters and how they live their lives , their circumstances , and the things that haunt them .\nhand2mouth ' s\nmy own private idaho\n- inspired production ,\ntime , a fair hustler ,\nexamines both that civic story and the story of van sant ' s film through a lens of bittersweet nostalgia . the show , which opens friday , july 31 , imagines what might have happened to the film ' s characters in the nearly 25 years since the events of the movie took place . where , it asks , would these derelicts and drifters fit into the tidier portland of today - - if they ' d fit at all ? summoned together in a vaguely judicial setting , the personae of\nmy own private idaho\ngive testimony on what they ' re up to now and how they were connected with mikey and scott ' s story . as they reminisce , memory overwhelms reality .\nmy own private idaho often feels like two films spliced together . indeed , van sant\u2019s main sources for the film were two separate screenplays and a short story , all written by him . during the making of his first feature , mala noche ( 1985 ) , van sant met a street kid who became the inspiration for mike . there is also the influence of shakespeare\u2019s plays , henry iv ( parts 1 and 2 ) and henry v , or more precisely , of orson welles\u2019 chimes at midnight ( 1965 ) . welles\u2019 film is focused on the falstaff character from those plays , reimagined in my own private idaho as bob ( william richert ) \u2013 a mentor to the hustlers , and the man from whom rich kid scott ( reeves ) , like prince hal , must break away to accept his destiny .\ni found my own private idaho to be a very depressing film . river phoenix ' s character never does find his mother ; and to make matters worse , he loses scott to a woman . his narcolepsy is uncontrollable , and this makes him an oddity to most people . without scott , it appears that he has no one to turn to at a time when he seems to need help the most .\nmy own private idaho represents the shotgun marriage of two individual stories that , like mike and scott themselves , don\u2019t really belong together : a road movie about mike\u2019s fruitless search for love and security , and an arch modern retelling of shakespeare , with scott playing a role distinctly abstracted from the gritty day - to - day of his temporary street - hustling brethren . it\u2019s common to hear people talk about my own private idaho as two movies in one\u2014conversations that usually end with a preference for mike\u2019s heartrending tale of unrequited love winning out over keanu reeves doing shakespeare . but the impulse to treat the film like competing anthology hours misses how gracefully van sant incorporates the two stories while making a point of how distant they are from each other . even when they occupy the same space , like the campground the characters improvise in an idaho field , they\u2019re worlds apart , and no amount of yearning on mike\u2019s part can bridge the gap .\nthe relentless deployment of the road movie genre in both films seems far from incidental . my own private idaho and the living end are overt road movies . the road is a central , fleshed - out character in both films . in idaho , a particular road that mike says he \u201cknows\u201d bookends the film and is returned to in a number of scenes . at one point mike ascribes a face to it , and later ponders whether it has an end , or whether it runs all the way around the world .\nidaho to north carolina : wherever you go , i ' ll follow ya .\nby leftleg\ni\u2019m a bisexual man . i realized i was bi earlier this year . i haven\u2019t known who i really am for very long and since i\u2019m young , i still have a lot to learn about myself . the first time i watched my own private idaho was the first time i felt like i wasn\u2019t straight . it kick - started my awakening sexuality , the first step of many in realizing who i truly am . it was the first time i felt sexual desires towards men and for a couple weeks , i thought that i could be gay since i thought like this . then i realized that i was attracted to both women and men and i didn\u2019t have to choose ; i could be attracted to both and that would be okay . i came out to my parents , a lot of my friends , and my girlfriend . this film changed everything about my life , nothing was the same for me after watching .\nmy own private idaho was a landmark film when it was released in the early 1990s and joined other standout movies of the time , including jennie livingston\u2019s documentary on new york\u2019s underground drag shows , paris is burning ( 1990 ) ; todd haynes\u2019 feature poison ( 1991 ) ; derek jarman\u2019s version of christopher marlowe\u2019s edward ii ( 1991 ) ; and gregg araki\u2019s moving road - trip film , the living end ( 1992 ) .\nin his follow - up to drugstore cowboy ( 1989 ) , the gifted writer - director gus van sant has bucked expectations in more ways than one . my own private idaho , which stars phoenix and keanu reeves as street hustlers drifting around the northwest \u2014 one homeless and mostly gay , the other a bisexual rich boy who turns tricks out of boredom and rebellion \u2014 blithely detonates any conventional wisdom about the sorts of roles young hollywood heartthrobs are supposed to be taking on . van sant , though , isn\u2019t just out to shock the mainstream . the viewers who may actually be most taken aback by my own private idaho are those who loved drugstore cowboy and were hoping for a companion piece , a movie that burrows into the desolate street culture of young gay prostitutes with the same outlaw vitality that marked van sant\u2019s comic tale of early - \u201970s portland druggies .\nit\u2019s been 20 years since river phoenix\u2019s death , and gus van sant\u2019s 1991 road movie my own private idaho is still almost unbearably sad to watch . it isn\u2019t just that phoenix\u2019s charisma and promise are on full display , though idaho ranks alongside running on empty and dogfight among his best roles . it\u2019s the way van sant\u2019s script leaves phoenix in a state of constant vulnerability , like a turtle without its shell . at times , his character\u2019s narcolepsy\u2014in which he suddenly , unpredictably falls into a deep sleep\u2014feels like a narrative contrivance , an ongoing deus ex machina calibrated to pivot the story in whatever direction van sant decides to take it . but it\u2019s really more a metaphor for a lonely , loveless drifter who has no defense against a world that can take his money , his heart , and his life . phoenix and his character aren\u2019t one and the same , but they share an openness and sensitivity that\u2019s keenly felt in my own private idaho . they\u2019re prey for a rapacious world .\nmy own private idaho was the result of three projects coming together . the first was a modern adaptation of henry iv called\nhowling at the moon\n, which was about street kids in portland , and was told entirely in william shakespeare an verse . the second was called\nin a blue funk\n, and was about two spanish cousins , living on the streets of las vegas , who decide to go to spain after seeing their last name on a spanish map , and wanting to find out about themselves and their family . the third was actually titled\nmy own private idaho\n, and was about an early version of the mike character as a hustler , who gets picked up by a german auto parts salesman and\nkept\nat his house . gus van sant had trouble finishing the scripts , so he merged them together into the finished form .\nin this essay , i will argue that the films of \u201cnew queer cinema\u201d were generally misread . i will read two films from the period , my own private idaho ( gus van sant , 1991 ) and the living end ( gregg araki , 1992 ) , not as defiant and coherent queer responses against the visceral and cultural traumas of the aids crisis , but as passive pieces of shrapnel from the epidemic , hiv - positive cinema .\nmy own private idaho follows the journey of two street hustlers , mike ( river phoenix ) and scott ( keanu reeves ) . mike has the condition of narcolepsy , something that comes up multiple times in the film , starting in the beginning while standing at a lonely stretch of highway in idaho . later , he gets hired by an older woman , who takes him back to her mansion , where two other hustlers await , including scott , mike\u2019s best friend . right before performing his services for the woman , he experiences another fit of narcolepsy .\n\u201cmy own private idaho\u201d is a personal film , reflecting some of van sant\u2019s own encounters and experiences . michael parker , a homeless street hustler who smokes pot , served as inspiration for the character of mike waters . scott favor , the tale\u2019s other lead , is a rich boy who goes slumming in the underbelly of portland and seattle . as the product of upper - class family , van sant could relate more easily to scott : \u201cscott is , or could be , me , coming from the blue - blood and royalty of portland . \u201d the project became even more personal , when van sant cast himself as the ponytailed bellboy in the idaho hotel .\nwhen i had first watched the film my own private idaho ( 1991 ) , i was unaware of the specific references to shakespeare\u2019s henry iv parts i and ii and henry v . categorized and hyped as a queer - road - western film by the press , the shakespearean element was largely overlooked in favor of the then - shocking reality that beloved teen heartthrob and james - dean - lookalike river phoenix was portraying a gay street hustler type .\nafter the emotional wringer of filming gus van sant\u2019s my own private idaho , \u201ci just did not feel like barreling through someone\u2019s psychosis , \u201d river said . he opted for a low - stress money gig : sneakers . as one actor in the film said of the title , \u201cit sounded like a bad teen comedy about a hapless junior - high basketball team that is saved when they recruit a girl point guard who\u2019s a great shot . \u201d\nthe eldest son of a fugitive family comes of age and wants to live a life of his own .\n- since my own private idaho features homelessness pretty prominently , it only makes sense that leroy ( played either by an actor or by albert ) and director jonathan caouette would sit down to talk about how their own street experiences have influenced their work , i suppose . both have connections to van sant\u2014he produced caouette\u2019s film tarnation and used leroy / albert\u2019s screenplay for his film elephant \u2014 but beyond that , i\u2019m not sure these two deserve more than 50 minutes of special features space for their discussion , especially when you consider that this is another audio - only track .\nthese sound like caricatures , and in some small way they are . but my own private idaho \u2019s enduring accomplishment is that it can see all of these men with sympathy and good humor . it allows them to be idiosyncratic and strange , and practically lynchian in their inability to conform to the usual modes of behavior . as such , they\u2019re a spectacle to be acknowledged and loved , without suggesting that they also need to be forgiven . that\u2019s queerness . and my own private idaho is a masterpiece because that queerness is an ethic , not a subject . it\u2019s an ethos , not a convenience . in 2016 , when the threats to gay life have become subsumed beneath performances of polite politics and the needs of the middle class , it\u2019s helpful to remember a movie like this , full of people like these , who confront us with who they are without giving us a chance to tell them who to be .\nmy own private idaho was a troubled production from the beginning , and was actually a merger of three different projects that gus van sant was working on . he was very intent on adapting shakespeare and retaining the quality of the original language in the film , which new line cinema initially rejected , but which the international market seemed to be quite excited for , allowing for much of the dialogue to maintain the original shakespearean feel . review our gay themed films here\ngetting much less attention not far from the kodak theatre , in beverly hills , was a gallery exhibition called unfinished , where just two days prior to oscar night franco had presided over the rebirth of another fallen star . working with director gus van sant , franco launched a powerful installation of video art , cutting a 100 - minute film full of unseen footage of river phoenix from the dailies of van sant ' s modern day classic my own private idaho .\nalthough river phoenix has distinguished himself as an actor ever since his second film , stand by me , nothing he has ever done before prepares you for his performance in private idaho as the motherless , homeless , loveless piece of human driftwood .\nreally amazing ! river phoenix is just fantastic , and van sant really knows his stuff . i love the cameos made by actual hustlers from the streets of portland , or . it really rings true . my own private idaho was the result of three projects coming together . the first was a modern adaptation of henry iv called howling at the moon , which was about street kids in portland and was told entirely in william shakespearean verse . the second was called in a blue funk , and was about two spanish cousins , living on the streets of las vegas , who decide to go to spain after seeing their last name on a spanish map and wanting to find out about themselves and their family . the third was actually titled my own private idaho and was about an early version of the mike character as a hustler who gets picked up by a german auto parts salesman and\nkept\nat his house . gus van sant had trouble finishing the scripts , so he merged them together into the finished form . it is a must own !\ni\u2019m a huge river phoenix fan ( rip ) , and i also enjoy gus van sant\u2019s work when he\u2019s on his game ( about 75 % of the time ) , so \u201cmy own private idaho\u201d has been one of my favourite films since i was a teenager . mostly , i think that it\u2019s phoenix\u2019s tragic performance that carries this film and allows it to hold up 20 + years after its initial release . he brings such a raw emotion to the character of mikey , and this is definitely one of the films that reminds me of how big of a loss his death was .\nin many ways , gus van sant\u2019s my own private idaho ( 1991 ) is a film about duality , weaving together conflicting stories about love , family and the inescapable lure of home , even when it is a place you can never go back to again . and that duality also lends itself heavily to the sexual identities of the film\u2019s main characters , mike ( river phoenix ) and scott ( keanu reeves ) , two street hustlers with opposite views of their own bisexuality , as well as the fulfillment they receive from their life on the street and where it will ultimately take them .\ngvs : but i was trying not to bring my own personality into it ; i was trying to just get out of the way of the script . i was trying to make something that i thought was in their minds .\nthe episode \u201cour private idaho\u201d takes viewers to coeur d\u2019alene , idaho . once the epicenter of the aryan nations\u2019 white - supremacy movements , coeur d\u2019alene has nearly doubled in population in the last two decades . nearly 90 percent of its new arrivals are white , and although the percentage of nonwhite residents is gradually increasing , it\u2019s still tiny at 5 . 5 percent .\nmusing on a desolate highway in idaho , mikey waters ( river phoenix ) convulses and collapses in a narcoleptic fit . the sky passes overhead in time lapse as he dreams of his mother holding him , comforting him before the titles commence . already , in these first few shots , we are introduced to several tropes that by nearly all accounts should come across as tired clich\u00e9 or , at the very least , wholly unoriginal . but it is a testament to gus van sant that \u201cmy own private idaho\u201d rises above hackneyed tropes , repurposing rote cinematic sequences to breathe new life into the normally trite .\ni ' m fascinated about the class differences between the two men in my own private idaho and think it remains a hot topic , especially when arguments around the marriage equality battle come up . or how people with wealth and privilege urge younger kids to come out , but they can be rejected and end up being homeless or sex workers or doing whatever they have to do to survive . do you think that\u2019s a topic that should be tackled in some way in art or in film ?\nif you\u2019re going to make a movie about queer people , you\u2019re likely going to get a divisive response . does it reinforce negative stereotypes ? does it provide an accurate cross - section of the diverse lgbt community ? how many think pieces will it incite ? in this regular column , we\u2019ll look at depictions of queers in cinema and ask , was it good for the gays ? today we look at gus van sant\u2019s classic entry into the new queer cinema movement , my own private idaho .\nto a portlander watching two decades later , my own private idaho is most striking as a vision of a vanished bohemian city . van sant\u2019s half - condemned landscape of questing rent boys and itinerant prankster - kings is hardly visible beneath today\u2019s downtown , where youthful \u201ccreatives\u201d tap ipads at prohibition - esque cocktail bars and homelessness seems anything but romantic . reeves\u2019s and phoenix\u2019s flannel - clad apparitions might wonder where to cruise for johns , but they could sell their wardrobes at vintage stores for hefty sums .\n\u201cmy own private idaho\u201d won the independent spirit award for best screenplay . the film also gained river phoenix the best actor honor at the venice film festival . quite established for his age , phoenix had already impressed in \u201cstand by me\u201d ( 1986 ) and had also received a supporting actor oscar nomination for \u201crunning on empty\u201d ( 1988 ) , sidney lumet\u2019s political melodrama . van sant\u2019s feature also helped keanu reeves , then best - known for his \u201cbill and ted\u201d movies , to get better screen roles .\nmade for two and a half million dollars ( 7 ) , my own private idaho made around seven million dollars at the u . s . box office , and won several awards at film festivals around the world , mainly for phoenix\u2019s performance , and van sant\u2019s screenplay . it has remained a relatively well - known film , probably due to the subsequent career successes of van sant and reeves , and the enduring pop - mythology of river phoenix , who died of a drug overdose in 1993 .\ngus van zant ' s three feature films are not very similar in directional style ; however they do have a few similar traits . van zant ' s films contain serious stories which appeal to one ' s intellect . at first , my own private idaho seems to be a simple and straightforward story , but as previously mentioned it is quite complex and involved . the subject matter that van zant works with is unique and original , as most directors would not be willing to work on such projects as he . during the height of nancy reagan ' s\njust say no !\ncampaign , van zant completed drugstore cowboy , a film whose primary characters are drug addicts . my own private idaho contains prostitution and shades of homosexuality , and was made during a time when one of the most deadly diseases in the world can be transmitted by sexual contact . for whatever reason , aids simply does not exist in this film , and the omission is so obvious that it must have been intentional .\nvan sant includes large chunks of shakespeare\u2019s henry plays , as filtered through orson wells\u2019 chimes at midnight , in my own private idaho . it certainly breaks the narrative flow to hear street hustlers speaking in a modernized version of blank verse , dropping in some direct quotes ( \u201ci have heard the chimes at midnight\u201d ) and re - enacting scenes straight out of the play / film . the fact that some of the young actors can\u2019t quite handle their lines only adds to the disruptive quality of these sequences .\nwilliam richert was a writer and director who ' d made a night in the life of jimmy reardon , in which phoenix played the title character . for some reason , phoenix became fixated on the idea of richert playing bob pigeon in my own private idaho , even though richert was not an actor . richert was offended by the suggestion , telling phoenix ,\nit ' s a big fat pederast . is this what you think of me ? is this what you think i should be playing ?\nrewatching the film means even more to me as a bi man because of how it portrays sexuality , something that passed me by the first time . i started to notice so much more and i cried a lot . that\u2019s okay though because this film means more to me than i can ever fully describe . we need more films with the sexual representation of my own private idaho so that other queer kids like me can figure out who they really are . it is truly a spectacular piece of work .\nthe film was part of a new wave of gay cinema , and it added to phoenix ' s burgeoning reputation as a sensitive , brooding actor , made all the more tragic by his sudden death two years later . it changed van sant ' s life , too , putting him on the path that would lead to high - profile hits like good will hunting . a quarter - century later , let ' s look back at the making of my own private idaho and see what dreamy treasures await us .\naccording to the u . s . census ( 2010 ) , the population of coeur d\u2019alene is just over 44 , 000 , making it the seventh - largest city in idaho . boise city is idaho\u2019s largest city with over 200 , 000 residents .\nwhile van sant\u2019s breakthrough feature , drugstore cowboy ( released in 1989 ) , did not feature any gay themes , his debut feature , mala noche ( released in 1988 ) , was revolutionary in that it depicted gay characters and relationships in an apolitical way . my own private idaho continued that trend ( as well as drugstore cowboy \u2018s depiction of street culture , trading drug addicts for male hustlers ) and featured river phoenix as a gay male prostitute in portland who falls for his co - worker of sorts , keanu reeves .\nhere\u2019s one thing i can say for sure after rewatching gus van sant\u2019s my own private idaho , 16 years after it first hit the cinemas : it\u2019s nothing like a conventional hollywood film . i saw it when it first came out , in 1991 , but somehow over the years my memory revised it to be an edgy story about two hustlers in the pacific northwest , with a wickedly funny sequence in which porn magazines come to life . that\u2019s not an entirely wrong description , so much as it is incomplete : van sant does tell an edgy story about hustlers , and the porn magazine scene is pretty much as i remembered it , but what my memory erased about this film is how essentially disruptive it is , presenting anything but a conventional narrative in the usual hollywood sense .\ni ' ve been tasting roads all my life . this road will never end . it probably goes all around the world .\nwhen mike is in idaho he has a clear view of mt . hood . not only is the mountain too far away to see ( over 200 miles ) , there is another mountain range lying between idaho and mt . hood , blocking the view .\nthe music ( by bill stafford ) is also a jarring mix , incorporating cowboy ballads like eddy arnold\u2019s \u201cthe cattle call\u201d and bill stafford\u2019s \u201chome on the range\u201d , and crooner rudy vallee\u2019s \u201cdeep night\u201d , alongside more contemporary songs like elton john\u2019s \u201cblue eyes\u201d and madonna\u2019s \u201ccherish\u201d . even the title cards are unconventional in my own private idaho : each is in a different , bright , solid color , behind plain white text , producing as jarring an jarring effect as if an avant - garde novel suddenly morphed into a children\u2019s picture book ."]}

burman ' s music . and frankly , in an age where every upstart is trying to pass himself off as a ' composer ' by remixing panchamda ' s invaluable melodies and mauling them in the process , here is an effort that does r d ' s legacy proud .\nthe sincerity of the endeavour is there to be seen . this is not just another wannabe trying to cash in on another man ' s success . it is the work of a man who has put a great deal of thought in using 14 of the legendary music director ' s best compositions and weaving them into his story .\nthe story is all heart ; the music is its soul . krish ( r madhavan ) and raksha ( namrata shirodkar ) are husband and wife and strugglers looking for their first break as club singers . raksha is picked up by a music company , becomes a star overnight , and krish is thrilled at her success . before long , in a replay of hrishikesh mukherjee ' s\n, his own failure overwhelms her triumph and krish finds it difficult to come to terms with it . the once happy couple starts drifting apart .\nhrithik ( jimmy shergill ) , the spoilt son of a millionaire , has his own problems . he is madly in love with jojo ( hrishita bhatt ) , a level - headed girl from an ordinary family who reciprocates his feelings . she refuses to marry him till he walks out of his rich father ' s shadow and learns how to earn a livelihood .\ndev ' s ( sanjay suri ) situation is even more complicated . he is a widower who falls for his neighbour gauri ( sonali kulkarni ) , while his sister rachna ( bhavna pani ) pines for gauri ' s brother gaurav ( rakesh bapat ) . gaurav has lost his ladylove in a motorcycle accident and has confined himself to a wheelchair and become a recluse ever since . so gauri cannot unite with dev till gaurav overcomes his depression and starts leading a normal life .\nall three men have something to prove to themselves and to the women they love . and their quest for success brings them to a prestigious music competition , which offers each of them the opportunity they are looking for . but only one man can win and so the suspense builds up to a rocking climax .\nthe beauty of the story lies in its telling . it is the manner in which the filmmaker has infused these ordinary stories with passion and poignancy that sets\napart from every other hindi movie . the complexity of krish and raksha ' s relationship is treated with unusual tenderness . equally heart - warming is hrithik ' s wooing of jojo and their playful romance . the other two couples are a few shades paler , largely because their characters haven\u0092t been worked on as meticulously .\nis sprinkled with several stirring moments . the dialogues exude the honesty of everyday life and ensure that the characters on screen connect with their audience .\nperhaps the weakest links in this innovative effort are the performances . bhavna pani and rakesh bapat are totally insipid and should definitely stop trying to act . sanjay suri looks good . obviously , that is not good enough . sonali kulkarni tries so desperately to look good that she forgets her natural talent for acting . hence she neither looks good nor performs with conviction .\nhrishita bhatt is okay and jimmy shergill is a lot better than okay . he executes the rich playboy part with flair .\nmadhavan has the most difficult role in the film and sometimes seems weighed down by it , going over - the - top in a few scenes .\nnamrata shirodkar being the most experienced member of the cast comes up with the best performance . she also carries herself with dignity , unlike the other heroines . perhaps this film will pave the way for better roles coming her way .\nthe real star of the show , however , is r d burman ' s music , ' recreated ' by bablu chakraborty ( isn ' t he the same man who was r d ' s assistant for several years ? ) . most of the songs used in the film are over 30 years old , yet their beauty defies the vagaries of time .\na word of caution here ( because hindi cinema has an irritating knack for producing me - toos ) : while mahadevan has come up trumps with his novel idea of making a retro musical , he might have set a terrible precedent . just like bally sagoo remixed chura liya\nand opened the floodgates for three million r d burman clones , there is a danger that this film might prompt filmmakers and music directors to start pilfering old hits at random .\nremains a one - of - its - kind flick . meanwhile , do check it out .\nastrology | auctions | auto | contests | e - cards | food | health | home & decor | jobs |

film .\nbut there ' s hardly any time to entertain the butterflies in the stomach . maddy , as he ' s more commonly known , settles down to answer\nsomething really beautiful , that much i can tell you . the script is conceptualised as a tribute to the songs of rahul dev burman . all of us have beautiful roles . i ' m paired opposite namrata shirodkar ( who replaces mahima chaudhry ) . i was amazed at how beautifully she performs before the camera . our roles are similar to the ones amitabh and jaya bachchan essayed in\nand called me . simran and i commenced shooting in january and completed the film in april . we then waited for a r rahman ' s music and the film finally hit the road on november 14 .\nwhen a film is a no - show at the bo it has to be salvaged in any way possible

. i consider bhagnani to be the king of the selfmade clan . he ' s so successful and yet so down - to - earth .\nsounds like mani rathnam . how ' s it doing a third film with him ?\nbelieve me my role in this new mani rathnam film is to die for . i play a mature working - class man for the first time . simran is my heroine this time round again . i don ' t want to create the wrong hype by saying too much about it .\ni ' ve done two films with jyothika and two with simran . now , i desperately need a new heroine . do you have anyone in mind ? it isn ' t as though i mind working with either . they ' re both wonderful co - stars . but after bonding intensely with them over two films , it ' s hard to move on to other characters .\nthe k balachander and mani rathnam films that simran and i did , featured us in radically removed roles . they are bound to be highpoints of our careers . now , if we ' re offered anything else together it would be difficult to move ahead .\ntouch wood , it couldn ' t be better . i don ' t know how the new mani rathnam film will fare . but it ' s a dream opportunity for both simran and me .\nthe director shaad , probably wanted an entire change of mood , scenario and flavour in hindi . i think we should all give vivek oberoi a chance . i ' m not saying he ' d do better . but let ' s be fair to him .\nreally ? ! i ' m quite a duffer in these matter . though i ' m good with mani i ' m not very good with money . * laughs *\nto me , the script is the biggest fortune . i wish there were more scriptwriters writing sensible stuff .\ni think i have a long way to go before i ' m seen anywhere near the oscars .\nwas selected . if it had been any other film , it would ' ve been ridiculous . i ' m dying to do a film with aamir .\ni ' m proud of almost everything i ' ve done on the small screen . i particularly liked a one - hour telefilm for zee about a self - styled casanova who comes to terms with his waywardness when he discovers he has a son . that was one of my best works .\ntelevision has an amazing ability to reinvent itself . at one time home viewers freaked out on costume dramas like\ni might have been among the actors in my age - group . but otherwise , i think guys like satish shah , shekhar suman and farookh sheikh earned a lot more . but , the one television product i really like is manoj bajpai .\nwow ! that completes the circle . i ' ve been called the hrithik roshan of television ; the shah rukh khan of the south . now it ' s rajesh khanna . i couldn ' t have asked for more .\nthe dancing . it ' s tortuous ! i ' ve got two left feet . i was uncomfortable doing the beach song in\n. but we can ' t forget the ' b ' and ' c ' centre audiences . if we spend rs 40 million , half that amount comes in from those areas . the unfortunate thing about that beach song , which neither rathnam nor i was comfortable with , was that it brought the audiences into the theatre in droves .\ni never want to overreach . i don ' t care if people say i ' m a bad actor . i know i can manage to act well . but i don ' t ever want them to say stardom has gone to my head . that ' s why i ' m proceeding with extreme caution .\nyes , it ' s a dream come true . the dates are being worked out . and it does look like i will do the film .\nclicks , gurdas maan would be the first singer - turned - leading man to click this year . so far , other singers sonu nigam in\nworks at the box - office , it would also break the jinx on debutant directors , most of whom have failed to make a mark this year .\ntakes a huge risk with cast , theme ( it is about a mentally challenged girl , an aspiring singer - actor and a prostitute ) , other releases of the month also cover that extra mile in wooing and winning the audience .\nsequels are still not an essential part of the hindi cinema ' s output . though they have failed in the past ( nigaahen the sequel to the super - successful snake woman yarn nagina bombed ) . but mahesh manjrekar has dared to piece together a sequel to his gangster epic vaastav\n) , sanjay dutt plays the son of his character from the earlier film .\nfeaturing dutt which has now been rescheduled for december 6 . whether audiences accept a sequel remains a point that will be proven on october 18 when\n, scheduled for october 18 , debutant director anant mahadevan has woven three love stories around the immortal melodies of rahul dev burman . such an experiment has never been undertaken in mainstream hindi cinema before .\nthe film is crucial for its entire cast , especially the tamil superstar r madhavan . this is his second hindi film after the relatively unsuccessful\nin the mood for more experimental state - of - the - art entertainment ? our movies have got it this month in plenty . on october 11 hansal mehta releases his ' sex comedy without sex ' ,\nwith newcomers in the lead .\nit is my take on the teen - comedy\nlaunches former miss world yukta mookhey as leading lady . the film ' s producer and the debutante have been crossing swords in print for many months now . one hopes the title\noctober simmers with variety . from an emotional family film in the first week to a sex comedy in the second week . a gangster flick and a romantic musical woven around r d burman ' s tunes in the third week . and finally a thrilling whodunit in the fourth .\nthe songs have been recreated and rearranged by bablu chakraborty , whose association with pancham da as his music arranger lasted over two decades . they are completely in tune with today ' s sound of music without losing their old world charm . the 14 all - time hits of pancham da were chosen from over 100 songs composed by him .\nfeaturing on the soundtrack of the movie are classic hits like\no haseena zulfonwali ' ' ,\nyaadon ki baraat ' ' ,\nmere samnewali khidki mein ' ' and\ntere bina zindagi se ' ' . prominent singers like shaan , sunidhi chauhan , hari haran , alka yagnik and kumar sanu have lent their voices to this unique album .\nstarring in the movie are r . madhavan , jimmy shergill , sanjay suri , rakesh bapat , hrishitaa bhatt , bhavna pani , sonali kulkarni and namrata shirodhkar . there are special appearances by riya sen , dipannita sharma and mini mathur . however , it is the music that is the usp of the film as every song is a fresh composition recreated to deliver a novel approach to pancham da ' s music . while all songs have been re - recorded , four songs have been done back - to - back .\nentioned below are listed the most recent films that average good openings . the film that performs best in the current week merits listing at the top . bo verdict for these films may differ regardless of the opening .\n, which released a week ago , continues to do good business , as its box office collections remain stable at 60 per cent . even the recent\ncould not displace it from the top spot , as it collected a mere 50 per cent in its opening day . the diwali

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

why not make the other sister ?\nadd other info not listed above ( trivial anecdotes , press quotes , recording anomalies , etc ) .\nthe other sister deftly portrays caring parents struggling to release a child they ' re not confident is capable of stepping into adulthood ( a universal anxiety ) . furthermore , the movie\u2014which includes very few profanities\u2014deserves credit for exalting kindness , unconditional love , patience and the institution of marriage .\nthan any other dna test no one else connects you to as many places in the world or more living relatives around it

christmas wedding i have ever seen , they were absolutely amazing to work with . my twin sister chose lemon drops to assist in the planning and execution of her dream christmas wedding . i recently moved to california when my husband took a job there and therefore as maid of honor it was very difficult for me to assist my sister in the planning with the distance between us . she had so many great ideas but was unsure how to pull it all together for a festive , yet classy christmas wedding . the ceremony sight was just perfect ! the decor was amazing and mel kept the order to make sure that everything went off without a hitch ! when i walked into the reception hall i was blown away ! i cried ! and it wasn ' t even my wedding but it made me so happy to see my sister ' s dream all come together . everything from the head table , to the centerpieces to the cake table was absolutely perfect ! i have honestly never been to a more beautiful wedding ! mel and her husband stayed after the reception to help my mother and i clean up and they were so organized and efficient . i just can ' t say enough about lemon drops . thank you so much for making my sister ' s wedding an absolute dream !\nthe minister at carla ' s wedding changes when they are on the steps of the church .\nthe graduate homage shot : done with daniel interrupting carla ' s sister ' s wedding in order

throughout the movie , are watching the graduate on tv .\nrodin ' s the kiss was originally part of the the gates of hell composition . however , it was removed from this piece as the artist considered it as a state of happiness that did not fit the rest of the piece . when rodin produced this piece individually in 1889 it was immediately popular with critics . as a result of this success the artist received two further commissions for marble copies of the sculpture . one was for carl jacobsen for a museum in copenhagen and the other was for the art collector edward perry warren .

dixon\u2019s new novel , the other sister , i wasn\u2019t sure that i would finish it , much less like it . it\u2019s the story of twins morgan and ali . morgan comes off as whiny , lost in feeling sorry for herself . i\u2019m glad i didn\u2019t give up on this one ; by page 50 , i couldn\u2019t put it down . morgan and ali are fraternal twins , different as two people can be . ali is drop - dead gor\ndespite the sea of bullshit at play in the other sister , and despite the film\u2019s sluggish pacing and bloated running time , i have to admit it pulled my heartstrings now and then , particularly any time hector elizondo\u2019s musician / painter / vietnam vet shows up to be dennis\u2019 unofficial caretaker and best pal . but most of the movie is pretty rough to behold . a sense of genuine embarrassment ( i know i\u2019ve used that word already , but there\u2019s no better way to put it ) kind of ruins any of the fun goofiness one might mine from the movie . having said all that , i do feel like this is one of the best movies from the best year in cinematic history . if only for this :\nalthough rossetti was a frequent contributor to her brother dante ' s pre - raphaelite journal the germ , she achieved immediate and significant recognition as a skilled poet with the 1862 publication of goblin market and other poems . the publication of the volume was hailed as the first literary success of the pre - raphaelites , earned critical and popular acclaim , and paved the way for the publication of rossetti ' s next volume of poetry , the prince ' s progress and other poems ( 1866 ) . rossetti went on to publish religious poetry , devotional prose , and nursery rhymes for children . due to the early success of\ngoblin market ,\nrossetti rarely fell out of favor with critics or her reading public and remains a focal point of critical study of nineteenth - century literary figures .\nyour privacy is important to us . we use industry standard security

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

. so when i saw that dianne dixon had a new novel out , i was excited to read it . i wasn ' t sure what to expect , as it sounded like a cross between a story about sibling relationships and a

himself , to describe as he does the minute torments and incessant tediums of her life , but he must have bribed some governess very largely , either with love or money , to reveal to him the secrets

every great man is a woman who may be as wildly talented and unique as he is . yes , of course , that\u2019s not the way the saying goes . but permit here the morphing of the phrase for the sake of nannerl . never heard of her ? well , what if we told you her last name was mozart ? and that she was the great virtuoso\u2019s older sister . sure , this will allow you to place her firmly into the family tree , but it leaves out the most interesting part . apparently she was just as musically talented as her famous younger sibling .\n\u201ccould it have been me ? could even a little of it have been mine ? \u201d these are the questions that haunt nannerl mozart at the close of the 75 - minute show as she contemplates her famous brother\u2019s career . laid out chronologically , this history lesson as entertainment show snapshots us through the life of the mozart siblings as told from the perspective of his lost - to - obscurity sister . but before the fame , before the questions and even before the virtuoso brother was born , there was nannerl , single child of a salzburg music teacher father and a traditional housewife . it\u2019s this youngster that we meet at the start of milo\u2019s stylized , girl - powerless show .\nbrother and sister live in a unfriendly city . they suffer abject poverty . in the day - to - day existence , they are constantly insulted and humiliated . poor and unhappy , they try to recall the days when they were glad and contended . this takes them to the old house they once lived , in the suburbs . apart from an old man living , the house is deserted . the old man allows them to spend a night there . they went there to feel happy amidst their memories , but the past has something else in store .\ncan hope be found in the most unusual places among the most unlikely characters ? a young women transvestite prostitute , kusum , locked up in her room , gears up for a regular night like any other . just then enters purab , an out of job english literature teacher suffering from tourette syndrome and obsessive compulsive behavior . without a clue of the local language , he spents his meager savings to spend one night with a girl and finds himself stuck with a boy ! both can\u2019t understnd what the other is saying . all hell breaks loose ! will these two people , manage a connection ? perhaps like a flowerbud bursting through a crack in the wall , an unexpected begining will see them through .\nolivia was perplexed by the little sister\u2019s insistence that she had to follow the big sister\u2019s hard - earned career path , but she finally buckled to joan\u2019s intransigence . yet she drew the line at sharing her name in hollywood . \u201ci gave her examples of younger sisters who changed their names and had the best careers , \u201d olivia says . \u201cloretta young and sally blane , for instance . i even offered her an incentive : change your name and you can come to hollywood and live with me and

don\u2019t know how much veracity there is in the idea that two mentally challenged people would glob onto each other like this . maybe it happens all the time . but it nevertheless feels like an amazingly hollywood conceit . danny and carla fall in love largely by default . they sort of get to know each other by trying to figure out the city\u2019s bussing system and watching the graduate over and over again . seriously , bussing and the graduate are prominent enough to be considered subplots . this is especially funny regarding the graduate . they are both very taken by the part where dustin hoffman interrupts katharine ross\u2019 wedding , so much so that danny at one point recreates the scene kind of like in wayne\u2019s world 2 . but when we see them watch the film , they actually turn it off before the happy onscreen couple takes that uncertain bus ride . it seems explicit that garry marshall would prefer we forget that part and its implications so he can suck up all the sweetness for his own film , ignoring the original\u2019s sour coda . diabolical !\nhowever , summer becomes much more interesting for the siblings after dipper inadvertently uncovers a cryptic

and the hero dismisses her ideas . the film also seems to object to\nworking women\n, in a way atypical of minnelli . however , because of the film ' s wavering and vague viewpoints , it is hard to tell what the film is really saying .\ngets inspired by the producer , as do to a lesser degree the director and writer in that film .\notherwise poor musical has some good dance numbers directed by vincente minnelli , as an apprentice starting hollywood film making .\npatricia neal and gary cooper looking at blueprints in publicity portrait for the film ' the fountainhead ' , 1949 .\na group of dogs that take turns playing the role of lassie in a scene from the film . . .\n. the eye - popping visuals of a minnelli film can in fact make them resemble a dream or reverie .\n. that film was a musical ; this is a drama . that film was shot on the backlot of metro in hollywood , this one is shot on location in france . the film seems completely personal for minnelli . yet at the same time , it seems to use different techniques from many earlier minnelli films . the sets look different .\ni lean towards an approach that tries to recognize this film ' s many positive accomplishments - but which does not try to obscure its failings . on the whole , i think the film ' s positives greatly outweigh its negatives .\ntaylor makes his first appearance in the film , when doors are opened , and he is seen in the background .\nis correctly called a\nbiographical film\n, its thorough grounding in a technical subject should be highlighted as well .\nlibby flashes light from a mirror onto theron in the study . this is the best light art in the film .\n. here these are the flames of war , and have a much more sinister meaning than in the earlier film .\nother changes in the play and film reflect the treatment of gayness . the word homosexual could not be used in the movies , nor could gays be shown , according to the production code . the film sticks to these restrictions . i am not trying to defend these censorship rules , which were clearly designed to belittle gay people . but the pro -

minnelli film ,\nthe film is often fascinating in its visual style , however . much of it is highly inventive , in its visual techniques .\nthe film has a series of sympathetic supporting characters , such as the dentist and the actor . these anticipate similar supporting characters in\nlacks any obvious political commentary . the presence in the film of the liberal in real life katherine hepburn and the conservative robert taylor does not align with any political orientation in the film . the washington setting of part of the tale , and the political prominence of taylor ' s character suggests that some political commentary is about to emerge , but it never materializes . the film also resembles somewhat\nis an example of a non - noir film , that thus employs tactics familiar in film noir , such as a narrator . flaubert ' s narration has something of the same effect as a flashback - although it is not strictly speaking a flashback at all .\nother minnelli imagery runs through the film : statues , fancy uniformed soldiers , candelabra , flowers . there is a car wreck , anticipating\nemploys techniques most often used in film noir . it has a narrator , and a flashback structure . there is a dream sequence .\n( 1976 ) is the last film directed by vincente minnelli . he reportedly experienced much interference during its production , from the studio .\nthe word\ngay\nis one of minnelli ' s favorite words . it recurs in film after film , in which a character will state that being gay is the goal towards which they are striving . it is ambiguous : it can mean either joyful or queer .\na group of dogs that take turns playing the role of lassie in a scene from the film ' sun comes up ' , 1949 .\nafter the wedding - film sequence , the dispersing crowd includes a technician who is holding some sort of machine that generates a small flame .\n. it is the first of vincente minnelli ' s non - musical comedies to be shot in color . the film is stylistically remarkable .\nhowever , there are other color schemes in the film , as well . these tend to be subdued . i could find no trace in\nwe see a glass - walled building lit up at night , at the studio , while they are taking out the film cans for the preview . probably it is some sort of sound stage or photographic facility , maybe like the early , greenhouse - like film stage buildings seen in\nare a mixture of minnelli enthusiasts , who regard the film as a highbrow example of cinematic art , and starstruck fans of the rat pack : frank sinatra and dean martin . this gives the film an unusually broad constituency . this delightful film can be enjoyed on both of these levels , and others too . it is a product of an era when filmmakers tried to use their creativity to give audiences pleasure in multiple ways .\nflaubert ( james mason ) serves as narrator . and the main film unrolls as his telling the story of his novel on the witness stand .\n, british actors or scenes of any sort are largely missing in his films . when he did finally make a film with richard burton , in\n. but a few women in each film are in very pales shades of some color , such as a very light blue . the women in\nlater in the film , the hotel switchboard operator gets involved in a second deception . a switchboard will later play a role in the mystery in\nhunting is also ambiguous . partly pure macho fun in a traditional culture - partly destruction rather than creation . the film sees it as both .\nthe contessa is another vincente minnelli character who disappears near a film ' s end , prompting a search by the other characters . the search in\n( 1955 ) is a drama set in a high - toned psychiatric asylum . the film is overwhelmingly grim , and cannot really be recommended to casual viewers looking for light entertainment . still , the visual style and dramatic events are impressive , and the film is a key vincente minnelli work .\n: the sexism of the society the film depicts . this society would be enough to cause anyone intense anxiety in their attempts to cope with it .\n. he reportedly also did the many tall ornamental finials and wands carried by people in the film . they do not resemble much of anything else in film history . the way they can be carried and moved around reminds one a bit of the kinetic art aspects of minnelli ' s other films .\nthe orange in the film is sometimes provided by actual orange clothes : in the finale , there are people with orange shirts moving in the crowd .\nhowever , some passages in the film regard the contessa more sympathetically than madame bovary ever was . emma bovary gets condemned , the contessa gets celebrated .\n( 1945 ) , another serious dramatic film in which katherine hepburn marries a politically prominent man with country estates , and in which mysterious situations abound . cukor ' s film is as political as minnelli ' s is apolitical . the tone of the two films seems similar ; the political content does not .\n( 1945 ) is a non - musical romance film , set in new york city during world war ii . robert walker plays a serviceman with 48 hours leave , who meets secretary judy garland . the film tells of their romance , and little adventures while they explore the city . it is vincente minnelli ' s first non - musical film , and the first set against a fairly\nrealistic\nbackground , as opposed to his richly stylized musical films .\nthis is part of the emerald city section of the film , which is entirely designed in bright green , anticipating minnelli ' s lavish use of color .\n, ordinary people think in terms of high technology communication . when taylor disappears in the middle of the film , tracy conducts the search via telephone . such\n. that film also showed men as obsessed with standards , and doing everything they could to condemn and hurt others that do not live up to them .\nis full of stars that have strong appeal to men , frank sinatra and dean martin , and many of the issues explored in the film are about men ' s lives . the film also mixes serious drama with glamorous settings , photography and clothes , another example of the broad mix of genres and approaches here .\nprincipal cast : ann sothern ( hattie maloney ) , dan dailey ( dick bulliet ) , red skelton ( red ) , marsha hunt ( leila tree ) , virginia o ' brien ( flo foster ) , rags ragland ( rags ) , alan mowbray ( jay jerkins ) , ben blue ( rowdy ) , lena horne ( herself ) , joe yule ( waiter ) .\nwhat would have been defeat at any other studio , however , was just the signal to get back to work at mgm . freed got studio head louis b . mayer to give him another $ 300 , 000 to fix the film . then , while discussing changes with sothern on the set of her next film ,\nthe two actors who play john and lon also look alike . both also look much like john kerr , who starred in minnelli ' s much later film ,\nlon has the relationship with john that esther wants . lon does everything he can to help her . the film shows the two relationships as equivalent and parallel .\nmitchum ' s disappearance is handled differently . his vanishing stretches out over many years of story time , and over much of the run time of the film .\nthe characters repeatedly move down stairs , while minnelli ' s camera follows them . late in the film , the camera also follows taylor partly up the stairs .\nconfetti is thrown indoors , and rice outside , during the wedding . the opening of the film shows the set covered with confetti , making fascinating visual patterns .\nin film and comic books . al is seated next to a spray of lilacs on the table , whose pale purple echoes the deep purple of his sweater .\n. the fog roiling through sulfur bottom is also a version of the colored smoke minnelli loves . in this film too , it is associated only with death .\ntowards the beginning of the film , there is a long sequence showing the hero and heroine falling it love . it recalls a similar and much celebrated sequence in\nthe dance at the barbecue , at the film ' s start , is a traditional dance , in which men dance with other men . such dances also permeated\nin film and comic books . the hero is also booted : something not too common in minnelli , outside of military uniforms , or the fox hunting garb in\nwho is tootie ? what is she like as a person ? what is the film trying to tell us , by including her ? these are not easy questions .\nmany of these locales are places of high dramatic tension . they are also places of public encounters . they do not include any of the film ' s bedrooms .\nis overwhelmingly designed in\nred and green\n, a favorite minnelli combination . at least fifteen locales in the film are in this color pattern . many walls in\n. the film opens with a boom shot , traveling over the astonishing recreation of penn station built for the film . then a moving camera shot on the ground picks up walker , moving through the crowds . the first person walker meets is played by the film ' s producer , the legendary arthur freed . freed was in charge of the freed unit that made the famous mgm musicals of the 1940 ' s and 1950 ' s , including minnelli ' s . freed offers walker a book of matches . it seems symbolically important that freed will open the series of encounters that walker has in the film . he stands at the entrance of this complex studio - created world of\nthe first jewelry lesson ( right after the lunch ) is then in pink , green and gold . this color combination had just been used by minnelli in his previous film\n( 1963 ) is usually described as a comedy . actually , it is often an extremely grim film , about the aftermath of the death of a wife and mother .\n. much of the earlier film revolves around ugly issues of money : finding a well - to - do husband , spending vast sums on an ostentatious wedding . by contrast ,\n? this is a tricky question , and i will argue that the film is ambiguous on this issue . one might note that well - known critics disagree : serge daney thought\n, and also in the telephone call in that film . both of these scenes were associated with romance . many of the overhead shots here also have elements of romance and adventure .\nmitchum is introduced wearing a leather jacket . it too looks as if it might be brown , although it is hard to tell in a black -

turned - mgm star was certainly more well - regarded than the likes of sonny tufts , john lund , don defore , or macdonald carey . that same year , betty hutton replaced a problematic judy garland in mgm\u2019s george sidney - directed film version of irving berlin \u2019s annie get your gun . of note : on broadway , the role of annie oakley had been played by none other than hutton\u2019s panama hattie nemesis , ethel merman . annie get your gun was to be one of mgm\u2019s biggest productions of the year . hutton was even featured on the cover of time magazine ,\nthe wife becomes a missing person . there is some dialogue about this , at the start of the film - but we don ' t actually see a search . this is unlike other minnelli films with disappearing characters - the search is usually extensive , and the climax of the film . the disappearance here , and reconciliation afterwards , are in the rain - as in\nthis film is more\nrealistic\nthan most other films , in recording a major social event that was occurring , but which was taboo to mention . it echoes other such notices in minnelli . minnelli is often ( correctly ) thought of as an aesthete . yet , minnelli is one of the few film makers to record to ugly reality of child labor , in\nthese three sections are not explicitly marked in the movie - i . e . there are no title cards , chapter marks or intermissions separating them . but the film seems strongly structured along these lines . for example , as soon as theron enter the film , we move from a prologue centering on the parents and rafe , to a story strongly centered on theron .\n( 1989 ) , minnelli came up with the basic idea of this number - but did not create the version in the film , and disliked what had been done with his ideas .\nmen in the film often wear blue suits , or red ties ; these contribute towards the color scheme . gray suits are also common ; these are part of the neutral background colors .\nthe italian film producer , is set against a background of a blue striped couch . his blue and grey clothes make a color harmony with this background , a familiar effect in minnelli .\n( 1955 ) , another celebrated film photographed by alton . but while that film noir was in black and white , this ballet sequence is in color - and how ! alton does astonishing things , apparently with colored lights and filters , to make this scene full of non - naturalistic colors and lighting effects . the smoke here also recalls the fiery pirate number in minnelli ' s\nstarted life as a 1953 broadway play , a major hit . the play was extensively reworked for the screen , in part to meet the strict film censorship restrictions of the time . ever since , it has been a clich\u00e9 to suggest that the movie is simply a watered down , bowdlerized version of the play . a comparison of the play and film suggests a drastically different conclusion .\n( 1954 ) , and systematically by such contemporary film makers as pedro almod\u00f3var , danny boyle and gus van sant . minnelli will use this color scheme in other films as well , such as\nthe army trucks , with their thin pillars on their sides , also recall the moving pavilions of that film . and the leaf camouflage on the pillars recalls the garlanding in earlier minnelli films .\nat her screen test , a camera follows the heroine from back stage , while she moves through a corridor full of film lights . this recalls judy garland ' s procession from back stage in\nis it a crime ?\nis a modest musical number . it is a pleasant song , but not as good as the first - rate numbers that remain in the film . its simple staging is also pleasant - but - not - notable . one is glad it survives , and can be seen today . but the filmmakers were perhaps right to cut it from the film .\nthe servicemen throughout the film are also of a certain type . they tend to be good looking , romantic leading men types . like most of the extras in the film , they seem refined and well mannered , in a sophisticated new york mode . few if any are the sort of macho roughnecks one often sees in uniform in hollywood films , such as robert mitchum in edward dmytryk ' s\n. in a _ film _ by , both brad stevens and joe mcelhaney discuss\nrumors\nthat vincente minnelli directed the finale of this thriller . brad stevens says that it resembles the finale of\ncontains a mystery of identity . the heroine has to figure out who her husband ' s first girlfriend was . she does this by piecing together a number of clues , throughout the film . like\nminnelli sometimes places his camera at a slightly bigger angle to a wall of a room . when he does this , oftentimes there is a piece of furniture in the shot that is exactly parallel to the frame of the film . for example , in the brother ' s office , the green chair is in exact alignment with the film frame , while the wall is somewhat at an angle .\nby todd garbarini robert z . leonard \u2019s 1940 film pride and predjudice , which stars lawrence olivier , edmund gwenn , marsha hunt , greer garson , and maureen o\u2019sullivan , will be screened at the the royale laemmle theater in los angeles . based upon the novel by jane austen , the 118 - minute film will be screened on tuesday , december 8th , 2015 at 7 : 00 pm . actress marsha hunt , who played mary bennet in the film , is scheduled to appear in - person to discuss the film and answer audience questions . from the press release : this lush , oscar - winning film from the heyday of mgm is the most entertaining of the many screen adaptations of jane austen \u2019s best - loved novel . laurence olivier plays mr . darcy , greer garson is elizabeth bennet , and they give definitive performances as the archetypal battling lovers who set the model for almost every rom - com of the future . the supporting cast includes edmund gwenn , mary boland , edna may oliver ,\nlater , they eat a green salad , also as in the long , long trailer . the dialogue calls the salad\ngreen\n: unfortunately the film itself is in black - and - white .\nthe number is in red , a gray - that - approaches - blue , and white . this links it to the red - blue - and - white\nby strauss\nearlier in the film .\n. as in that film , these colors are mixed in with neutral backgrounds , such as whites and off - whites , as well as an occasional cool , refreshing green . as discussed in the article on\nthe climax of the film has montand performing a psychic search for the heroine in new york city . this is shown in the song\ncome back to me\n, and gets an ingeniously stylized treatment .\n. a sequence is set in venice . after all the glowing references to venetian art in earlier minnelli films , it is great to see the director at last getting a chance to make a film there .\n) . in these scenes , the costume is modified right on the actress . the costume designer is working in three dimensions , with the costume worn exactly as it will be used in the film to come .\n. the set even has the repeated arched doorways of the previous film . the contrasting colors of green and purple keep showing up throughout the whole ballet , as they did in the early part of the finale of\nthere are brilliant red objects scattered throughout the film . these tend to be small , fiery and highly conspicuous ; they concentrate an extreme of the red - orange part of the color scheme into a small space .\nis a film in which people stand around and talk about their relationships . today , such films , when they are made at all , are aimed at an exclusively female audience :\nchick flicks\n. yet\nthis is the only time vincente minnelli was able to direct his daughter liza minnelli in a film . also , unlike his mgm period where vincente minnelli often directed the same actors repeatedly , most of the cast of\nsays that it depicts an idealized america . in some ways this is certainly true : the peaceful life shown in the film must have seemed intensely nostalgic to war time audiences . but in other ways , the society in\nthere is a queer interpretation : we are seeing expressions of gay or bisexual behavior . cross - dressing will recur in minnelli ' s gay lib film tea and sympathy , as well as the ballet in the bandwagon .\n( 1948 ) also opens with the heroine looking at a series of paintings that tell the back - story of the film , and there is a similar suggestion that one is involved in a world described by painting .\n- although the film goes out of its way to establish that she is not a\nfloozy\n, and that she was good at school . this makes her far more respectable and educated , than the heroine of\nright before the dancing tobins ought to film a new production , his wife tells freddy tobin that she ' s pregnant . so the producer desperately has to seek a replacement and starts a . . . see full summary \u00bb\nis related , but different . it has two people searching for each other , rather than one missing person being looked for by lots of people . and it occurs in the film ' s middle , not the end .\n. two similar long tall window panels are to the right , also like the windows in the house in the earlier film . the repeated men in their red coats also form strong repeated verticals , like the standing soldiers in\ndancing in the dark\nopens with that minnelli favorite , a ride in an open carriage . here it is not in a historical film , but in a modern day setting , new york ' s central park .\nthe white collar husband encounters a lot of working class men throughout the film . these relationships are always polite - but they usually involve the husband paying out cash to the men , for services rendered for the trailer . in\nin minnelli . it also has a moving wheel on top . the huge swinging gates of the mine yard are also kinetic art . later on in the film , the weavers ' looms will also be kinetic art objects .\nthe film was directed by norman z . mcleod , roy del ruth , and starring red skelton , ann sothern , rags ragland among others , with special features by james , warren and nyas berry of the berry brothers .\nthe director is the only character in the film to develop a successful family life , with marriage and children . his dining room has an ellipse - shaped mirror on the wall , like a similar mirror in the dining room in\nsome critics have seen buchanan ' s character to be a satire on vincente minnelli himself , with his various highbrow aspirations in american film . the red smoke that fills buchanan ' s faust sequences seems like a minnelli signature , after\n. the film begins with sung narration , first by an unseen chorus , then joined by an unseen soloist . minnelli films often experiment with different methods of narration . this is one of the most unusual and avant - garde .\nthe kitchen , seen early in the film , also has reddish decor and green food . ( later , during the big revelation between theron and his mother , the kitchen is stripped bare of all but its pinkish wood . )\n, something condemned by that film . if it ' s bad for gigi to learn how to extract presents of jewelry from wealthy men - and i agree that it is - shouldn ' t it be bad for the heroine of\nhas perhaps used them to advantage , somewhat paradoxically . the play had two characters who represented evil adult homosexuals . this has been removed from the movie version . because of this , while the play depicted gayness as evil , the movie does not . by any standards , this is a big step up , morally and politically . the change is particularly striking in the treatment of the coach , an obnoxious villain in both play and film . in the play , he is a repressed gay . the revelation about these yearnings at the play ' s end is treated as a big , guilty secret , showing how evil and rotten he is . all of this has been toned down , perhaps eliminated in the film . the coach in the film seems to be heterosexual . he is still rotten to the core . but the film traces his viciousness to his rigid adherence to macho norms . in the film , these norms are seen as a sick part of mainstream heterosexual culture . the coach is seen as representing heterosexuals at their worst . he is a person who spends much of his time enforcing macho norms , and persecuting anyone who falls outside of them .\nthere are two long take sequences at the party . the first occurs during the musical number\nskip to my lou\n. it starts when esther enters the shot carrying a tray of drinks , and eventually ends much later when john sings\nlost my partner , skip to my lou\n. this sequence is immensely complicated . the camera movements are all coordinated with the dance numbers in the film . the camera sometimes soars over the dancers ' heads . it can move rapidly and forcefully , or make small adjustments . the most intricate dancing in the film takes place here , an ensemble piece that also contains many individual brief numbers for small groups of dancers . i cannot imagine how hard this was to rehearse . it is unclear whether this moving camera sequence in the work of minnelli , or of charles walters , the film ' s choreographer . walters would soon go on to be a director himself . his first film ,\n. startling plot revelations follow immediately after the bildungsroman ends , and theron comes home after his first sexual encounter . the whole focus of the film changes . there are no longer any goals : the story keeps moving in unexpected directions .\n( 1956 ) is a biography of the painter vincent van gogh . the film is an example of vincente minnelli trying to bring high culture to a mass audience . it also shows his love of france , as a center of art .\nthe beat actor ( frank gorshin ) gets spoofed for his casual clothes . but the film seems to respect his talent as an actor . he is also presented as a person with sincere feelings . minnelli will return to a bohemian milieu in\nis also minnelli ' s first film of religion - based fantasy . this is a genre to which minnelli would return throughout his career . many of minnelli ' s realistic , non - fantasy films , will also include the christian imagery prevalent in\n( 1944 ) is a romantic comedy , mainly directed by and credited to alexander hall . hall had to leave to start another film a few weeks before this one finished . vincente minnelli was reportedly brought in to direct the last few weeks of\nis that i wanted to make them more\nvisible\nto viewers . these comments might seem\nobvious\nto anyone who watches the film . but it is clear that many people are ignoring or not seeing this aspect of the movie .\nis full of mirrors , and scenes are often staged in front of them . mirrors are one of the main motifs in film noir , so perhaps these mirrors reflect the genre . they also recall minnelli ' s other films with mirror sequences .\n. the fathers in that film are frighteningly efficient . they take one look at a situation , size it up accurately , and make a non - negotiable demand on their sons to take some macho - driven course of action . the father in\n. this song is a musical version , of the sort of frantic hunt for a missing person that often forms a climax in minnelli . it takes place at night and around water , anticipating the desperate search in minnelli ' s next film ,\ngu\u00e9tary is always dressed to the teeth . throughout the film he is dressed in a series of beautifully tailored double - breasted suits . he is a\ndandy\n, a man who takes great pleasure in being dressed well . the film suggests that this gives great pleasure to everyone around him , too . the dandy has a long tradition in both life and art . he is clearly a figure whom minnelli celebrates . many of minnelli ' s young men are also dandies , such as those in\nthe garage late in the film where the husband discusses alternate routes , is filled with red color harmonies . light orange brick and light pink brick walls , are behind bright red machinery . the husband ' s blue jacket forms the sole contrasting touch .\nboth heroines in the film are in orange clothes on their introduction . martha hyer is in a refined , glamorous evening gown whose color is a soft , restrained orange - pink , while shirley maclaine shows up in a blinding red - orange outfit .\nthe skyscraper building where montand sings\ncome back to me\n, has some sort of polygonal shaped roof . ( it is hard to tell exactly from the view in the film , whether it is a hexagon , an octagon , etc . )\n, though it is less elongated than those in previous minnelli . instead of being elongated , it is close to being a circle . the contessa has a long elliptical mirror on a dressing table , one more used in the bulk of the film .\n( 1956 ) is vincente minnelli ' s look at men who do not fit into gender norms . the hero is a male prep school student who is deeply female like . it shows his ferocious persecution by adult authority figures in the school , his male classmates , and by his own father . the film constitutes a detailed record of the war on gays that was fought from the 1930 ' s through the 1970 ' s in the united states . this war was fought in media silence - the media of the time were not supposed to notice it was going on , or record any of it . so the fact that a film like this was made at the time is fairly amazing , and one wonders how it ever got by film censorship .\nthe black and white ball towards the end of the film is one of minnelli ' s richest scenes . the screen is so overloaded with detail , that even with the stop motion capabilities of today ' s film machines , that it is virtually impossible to take in all the detail . walter plunckett created a huge variety of costumes here , his only contribution to the film . these are rich , sensuous and complex . they have the flattering quality of his finest work . one wonders what it would be like to wear such wonderful clothes in real life . the clothes of both gu\u00e9tary and kelly have a look evoking adventure films , a genre in which plunckett specialized . minnelli had previously included the black and white costumed dance number of\nla traviata\nin\nthere is a beautiful still life of breakfast , at the start of the film . minnelli loves such still lifes of food . many of the plates on the table are geometric . once again in minnelli , the food is soft : grapefruit and poached eggs .\nsandra dee ' s young english girlfriend has a crush on one of the soldiers at buckingham palace . minnelli includes the\nchanging of the guard\nritual in the film . he ties in with the other glamorized men in uniform in minnelli , in films like\nsome of the movements in the boar hunt show first the boar , and later the hero , moving towards the camera . at the film ' s end , the hero disappears by moving away from the camera , in a reverse echo of the earlier hunt ."]}

( that\u2019ll come into play later . ) but first , culverton takes sherlock and john to his hospital\u2019s pediatric ward , taunting sherlock in front of the kids that a smart , rich serial killer couldn\u2019t be stopped : \u201cyou only catch the dumb ones . \u201d well , we\u2019ll see about that\u2026\nsherlock , meanwhile , receives a text \u2014 and john deduces it\u2019s from\u2026 irene adler ! what\u2019s more , that text can only mean one thing : it\u2019s sherlock\u2019s birthday . after teasing sherlock about irene ( \u201cthe posh boy loves the dominatrix ! \u201d ) , he pushes him to open his heart to her : \u201cshe likes you ! and she\u2019s alive ! \u201d sherlock finally agrees to go out with john for some birthday cake\u2026 and even puts on the \u201cdamn\u201d deerstalker cap for good measure .\nit could very well be the last time sherlock pulls any tricks . there\u2019s been a real sense of farewell about series four , not least in this episode\u2019s many fan - pleasing moments . the mention of victor trevor , sherlock remembering greg ' s name and lestrade revisiting his line from the pilot to call sherlock a good man received whoops from the audience at the public screening , as did the appearance of mycroft\u2019s john steed umbrella - sword , an object mark gatiss has publicly coveted for the character for years and at last allowed himself .\nsherlock : \u201cyou\u2019ve got me . what else could you possibly want ? \u201d \u2013 mycroft : \u201cwhat do i want ? the rest of your life to be a living hell ! \u201d\none problem that i noticed is that there is no water in the final scene where they are both about to take the pills . one way to explain this is that the cabbie ' s sponsor moriarty ( who has been described as a ' fan ' of sherlock ) did not want sherlock dead . if neither of them used poison water then neither one would die . presumably , the cabbie would fake his own death , let sherlock think he had chosen right , and then who knows ?\nall in all , this is all just jumbled and turned around and thrown back together . the writing\u2019s not bad , there are a few very funny lines , there is good bits of brilliant deduction going on , and especially sherlock and mycroft are quite sweet together . the thing is , it\u2019s not sherlock holmes . it\u2019s a re - invention of him , but it\u2019s not sherlock holmes . it seems almost pointless \u2018cause they might as well have given the baker street boys other names , too , and made this another thing entirely . then , one might have grinned at the references to sherlock , instead of spending half the time wondering about what the hell\u2019s gone wrong with this one .\njohn\u2019s right : sherlock\u2019s a mess , sporting some ragged stubble\u2026 and on the needle once again . ( we spot a syringe lying nearby . ) but he perks up when a new case comes his way in the form of faith , culverton smith\u2019s daughter . culverton is a famous entrepreneur and beloved in the community , but he has a dark side . we see him dose his closest confidants , faith included , with a memory - wiping drug and confess : \u201ci need to kill someone . \u201d her memory is hazy , so faith turns to sherlock to find out exactly who her father needs to kill .\nsherlock intends to send faith away , saying the case is \u201cway too weird for me , \u201d but stops himself when he deduces faith has a gun in her handbag and intends to take her own life . instead , he takes her out to get some chips and talk . she thinks her father\u2019s confession was followed by one word , which means the person he intends to kill is known on a first - name basis . but later , sherlock pieces it together : culverton actually said , \u201ci need to kill someone\u2026 anyone . \u201d in short , one of britain\u2019s most powerful men is a serial killer .\nthat cuts to a fishing boat in the middle of stormy weather . the two - man crew gets an alert they\u2019re passing by sherrinford prison , but when they go up on the deck they\u2019re greeted by an unscathed sherlock and watson . the famous detective ? they ask . no , sherlock responds , the pirate .\ni just finished watching the movie , gotta say , this says everything i felt ! i was looking for some scrapes of mycroft whump , but after watching the movie , i was rewarded with much more sherlock whump than i had hoped for ! ! ! ! ( oh , i\u2019m an evil one . ) but really , in some scenes , d\u2019arcy looks so much like cumberbatch , and even in one place ( i think it\u2019s towards the end , when they meet again in that dim enclosure , just before he turns around and sees moriarty with the actress , he says \u201cprofessor moriarty\u201d ) sounds like him too ! loved the review , how did you like gatiss\u2019 fangirling in sherlock s3e1 ?\ni loved this . how have i never seen this james d\u2019arcy is amazing as sherlock and vincent d\u2019onofrio as moriarty , spectacular .\nholmes is also something of a publicity hound , an aspect of his personality that turns dr . watson off when first they meet . and if by now you haven\u2019t realized why the howls of protest went up so quickly after this movie was released , you can hardly consider yourself a true believing sherlock holmes fan .\nsibling reveal -

well - soon gift after the moriarty case is solved .\n@ minusseven : it is clearly shown in the episode that the cabbie is skilled at predicting human behavior . i think it is highly unlikely that the writers would portray him as being ' sherlock using his powers for evil ' and would then use a cheap trick to explain his success . it ' s also unlikely that if his victims would choose the correct bottle , he would simply take the poison . if you ' re really looking for a trick : he promises to take whichever bottle is left but just shoots his victims when he would lose .\nthe latest wheeze of writers steven moffat and mark gatiss is that sherlock holmes didn\u2019t just happen , something happened to him . namely , his little sister . like hannibal the cannibal , childhood family trauma made sherlock the man he is today . or rather , the man he was before a study in pink and john watson\u2019s friendship thawed his icy heart .\njohn stops him , though , before he can reach culverton , punching sherlock and screaming at him , \u201cis this a bloody game ? \u201d he has to be pulled away from sherlock , who doesn\u2019t fight back : \u201clet him do what he wants . he\u2019s entitled\u2026 i killed his wife . \u201d to which john says : \u201cyes , you did . \u201d ( ouch . ) sherlock is subdued and placed in a hospital bed , while culverton laughs the whole event off on tv , saying he bears sherlock no ill will : \u201ci might even move him to my favorite room . \u201d\nwatson receives a press clipping through the post , about the death of captain carey in india . its sender , reverend dordona , calls at baker street , and tells holmes and watson of carey ' s last hours , and his account of the death of prince louis napoleon in natal , and of a horseman , seen observing the killing from a kraal above .\nwhen a nazi saboteur jeeringly predicts to the nation new depredations , via their radio ' voice of terror ' , the intellegence inner council summons sherlock holmes ( basil rathbone ) to help in . . . see full summary \u00bb\nall products featured were editorially selected . urltoken may receive a percentage of sales for items purchased from these links . \u00a9 2018 meredith corporation all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . | eu data subject requests\nand waving a gun around the flat , almost blowing poor mrs . hudson\u2019s head off . so mrs . hudson turns to john for help , screaming up to his therapist\u2019s office in a sleek sports car ( what ? she can afford it ) and pleading for him to reconnect with sherlock . when he agrees , he learns that the little old lady actually got sherlock\u2019s gun away from him and forced him into the trunk of her sports car : \u201cyou\u2019re not my first smackhead , sherlock holmes ! \u201d go , mrs . hudson !\ncolin has been reading as long as he can remember , and the works of conan doyle were some of the early works that kept him reading .\nthe lady in question was helen stoner , and it was immediately obvious from her demeanour and appearance , that she was in fear for her life . before presenting her case though , miss stoner makes it clear that she cannot pay holmes for his services at that time . holmes quickly brushes aside this minor detail , and ushers helen stoner to tell her tale .\nthere are though other reasons that keep people away from stoke moran , as grimesby roylott has acquired a collection of exotic pets , including a cheetah and a baboon , which roam the grounds of the house . additionally , roylott also allows a band of gypsies to camp with the grounds of stoke moran .\nthe classic basil rathbone series moved him to the ww ii era , and i rather liked young sherlock holmes fast and loose as it played with it all .\nand so we come to the end of another sherlock season . it always makes for an intoxicating experience , since each hour -

homage opening , an action - movie prison infiltration complete with patrolling henchmen and more ticking clock scenes in close succession than is medically wise . there were laughs too , courtesy of mycroft\u2019s cornish fisherman ( the reveal of which felt very league of gentlemen ) and yet another ( brilliantly entertaining ) surprise appearance by andrew scott . that surely has to be the last time sherlock pulls that trick .\n@ minusseven : i agree 12 % is small odds , but far from being impossible . however each event is a separate ' roll of the dice ' . once he survive he might as well do it again - he has a 50 % chance of wining again . i think the ' win every time ' could be part of the ' script ' he ' s been given from moriarty to entice sherlock .\nthe governor is a little peeved that these guys snuck into his prison undercover , but that\u2019s nothing compared to mycroft\u2019s anger that he somehow compromised his most dangerous prisoner . mycroft directs sherlock to euros\u2019 \u201cprison within a prison , \u201d and soon sherlock finds his sister playing violin in her own specialized cell , like she\u2019s magneto in x2 or something .\nsherlock holmes : the actor\n( 2010 ) included in : sherlock holmes and the ghosts of bly ( donald thomas ) story type : pastiche canonical characters : sherlock holmes ; dr . watson ; stanley hopkins ; inspector bradstreet fictional characters : sasanoff shakespeare company historical figures : ( henry irving ; edward vii ; sir josiah guest ; queen victoria ; prince albert ; thomas edison ; oscar wilde ) other characters : roland gwyn ; stage hands ; actors ; sir henry caradoc price ; (\ncaptain\ncarnaby jenks ; lady myfanwy price ) date : 1879 -

a beautiful , yet intolerable 18 - month - old german shepherd . to his surprise , she turned out to be the love of his life , the ideal companion he had been searching for in vain . originally published in england in 1956 , my dog tulip is now published in the us by the new york review of books , and is the best -

- which opens in los angeles this friday , with other cities to follow - - is a double rarity : an adaptation that wholly and faithfully captures the spirit and mood of the book it ' s based on , and an example of computer animation -

ha . unless you really , really , really like dogs or like the idea of learning how to pimp out your dog when she ' s in heat , i ' d probably stay away from this book . unless you are into dog vulvas , in which case you might enjoy it .\nanyone still questioning the adaptability of traditional animation in the digital age should check out my dog tulip by paul and sandra fierlinger . it ' s not only a marvelous adaptation of author j . r . ackerley ' s account of his bittersweet friendship with an alsatian in england after world war ii , but it ' s also the first paperless hand - drawn animated feature ( using tvpaint ) .\na wonderful animated movie for anyone who ' s ever experienced dog ownership at its most glorious , and most embarrassing .\nmy dog tulip\nis a bittersweet animated film of j . r . ackerley ' s recollections of a dog he owned in the years during and after world war ii when he no longer was a young man . but this is not just any dog . it is an alsatian female , tulip , that he rescues from a working class family that is apparently incapable of caring for it since they never took it for walks , leaving the dog ' s social sklls woefully underdeveloped . so dog and owner have their fair share of kinks to work out in their relationshiip but as time wears on and they get to know each other better , things go much smoother .\nmy dog tulip\nis animated in a rough hand drawn style with occasional interludes that are even cruder looking , like they are directly pulled from ackerley ' s sketch pad . it is almost as if he is writing the film as we are watching it . the only thing that might trouble potential viewers is the scatalogical details of tulip ' s habits which at times definitely feel like too much information . ( also remember that the movie is set in a less civilized time when there were no pooper scooper laws . ) thankfully , this is not played for laughs but used as a way of showing how tulip communicates with her owner , as she makes her feelings clear . some of which actually reminded me of the family dog i had when i was growing up . all of which plays well into what the author is saying about the search for the perfect friend which he finds in a dog . but for me , a dog would not be perfect since they still have to be taken care of and looked after and that ' s not really the basis for any kind of healthy relationship . ( plus , i have killed off plants when i ' ve tried to look after them . ) on the other hand , as a friend put it , dogs may ruin your rug but they will not ruin your life , unlike children .\nackerley ' s memoir of life with his rambunctious alsatian predates marley & me by half - a - century and yet , it does the job of showcasing one human ' s love , devotion , and compassion for a canine so much more effectively . the power in my dog tulip comes not from long , emotional passages about the tender feelings tulip summons in ackerley , nor are they tied to some heart - rending tragedy that besets an entire family ; rather , it is the simple descriptions and eye for fantastic detail that ackerley w\ni always like reading about dogs and dogs ' behavior with other dogs and with humans , but\nmy dog tulip\nis also an elegant piece of writing and an interesting period piece about england , its classes , and its values . the book has offended some reviewers because tulip ' s sex life or lack thereof is a main theme . i would agree that ackerley obsesses about whether his beloved alsatian ( a breed known as german shepherd by most of the world these days ) is sexually content , but the reader should also re\nthere were a small handful of reasons why i was going to read my dog tulip eventually . 1 ) it was one of the first books published by nyrb and in my psychotic , obsessive way \u2013 i found the list of the first 250 books they published , broke them into groups of 20 and am going through each group selecting a few at random . this happened to be the very first i selected because\u2026 2 ) it was recently adapted into an animated movie ( trailer below ) , featuring the voice of christopher plummer and that roger ebert was quite fond of . 3 ) i read ( quite possible on the nyrb page ) but maybe elsewhere that truman capote once said that this was \u201cone of the greatest books ever written by anybody in the world . \u201d hyperbole ? maybe \u2013 but he chose to disregard the whole \u201cbest book about a pet\u201d thing . 4 ) i like dogs . and this is a remarkable book . essentially dealing with one man\u2019s relationship with his rather rambunctious dog during the first few years of having her . and while i expected it to be more encompassing about the relationship with the dog \u2013 my girlfriend soon informed me that it was almost all about mating and the tulip\u2019s\u2026inner\u2026problems . it\u2019s graphic , sure , but it\u2019s written so beautifully and in such a loving way that you can\u2019t help but grow to care about tulip . there is no doubt that this dog was the most important thing in ackerley\u2019s life and while i had read reviews and book group discussion that suggested he might have loved tulip too much \u2013 that didn\u2019t really come to light during my reading . i don\u2019t know what to say really . i wasn\u2019t \u201criveted\u201d \u2013 so i can\u2019t put it among my favorite books ever , but for what it is \u2013 for what it made me feel and the way it put pets into perspective\u2026 there\u2019s really nothing like it . and you should read it .\nhis newest feature , my dog tulip , is adapted from j . r . ackerley\u2019s 1956 memoir of the same name . a writer , poet and memoirist , ackerley ( 1896\u20131967 ) was the literary editor of the listener , a weekly bbc program , and the author of hindoo holiday . he never liked dogs until , in middle age , he adopted queenie , a high - strung , overly barky , wildly possessive german shepherd .\ngiven ackerley ' s apparent celibacy , it becomes the source of some humor when he struggles to find tulip a suitable mate .\nsecond , dutch tulip harvesters screwed up the massive order , resulting in thousands of off - colour bulbs being shipped to canada .\nmore than that , intent on seeing to it that tulip has a full dog ' s life , ackerley also goes into considerable clinical detail about what happens to her when she goes into heat \u2014 as well as the trials and tribulations of finding a suitable male dog to mate her with . it is all written in lapidary prose and gracefully animated , but it does take getting used to .\nthat said , i can report some good news for paul fierlinger\u2019s my dog tulip . the film has been picked up by apparition , a fairly new theatrical distributor out of nyc specializing in independent films for the u . s . market . they take on only about 7 films a year and , based on some of their live action acquistions ( terrence malick\u2019s the tree of hope and jane campion\u2019s bright star ) , have gained a solid reputation .\nthe distinguished british man of letters j . r . ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when , well into middle age , he came into possession of a german shepherd . to his surprise , she turned out to be the love of his life , the \u201cideal friend\u201d he had been searching for in vain for years . my dog tulip is a bittersweet retrospective account of their sixteen - year companionship , as well as a profound and subtle meditation on the strangeness that lies at the heart of all relationships . in vivid and sometimes startling detail , ackerley tells of tulip\u2019s often erratic behavior and very canine tastes , and of his own fumbling but determined efforts to ensure for her an existence of perfect happiness .\nwe are treated to far too much detail about trying to house train tulip and exactly when , where and how she relieves herself .\na heartwarming memoir of writer , j . r . ackerley ' s relationship with tulip , an alsatian bitch he rescued . tulip ' s visits to the vets , urinary and bowel movements are lightheartedly detailed , as is his attempts to find tulip a suitable ' marriage ' partner . but it ' s a moving tribute also to the canine who became a part of his life and his heart .\nms . fierlinger , 55 , who has a fine - arts background , adapted her skills to colorizing her husband\u2019s sketches . \u201ci paint with layers , just as i would with traditional animation , \u201d she said . \u201ci make my own brushes and mix my own colors , just as if it were a paper background . but i do it all on the computer . \u201d\nan amusing , fun account of life with a skittish , freewheeling german shepherd , jr ackerley ' s my dog tulip is a nice read , but i can see why it ' d also turn some readers off . indeed , what this book does best is what some people will hate : it ' s utter frankness . ackerley never minces his words , describing tulip in startling detail : her rambunctious attitude , her fur coat , her bowel movements and her heats . he never once tries to turn her into a human , but never treats her flippantly , either . it ' s a f\nopening on sept . 1 at film forum in the south village , \u201cmy dog tulip\u201d features the voices of christopher plummer as ackerley , the writer and longtime bbc radio host ; lynn redgrave , who died in may , as his nettlesome sister ; and isabella rossellini as a kindly veterinarian . as it happens , nearly everyone involved is a dog lover : the fierlingers have gracie , a mix of shepherd and corgi , and oscar ( whose electronically adjusted voice was used when an aggressive bark was called for ) . mr . plummer said in a telephone interview that he grew up around dogs and \u201cprefers them to a lot of humans , \u201d while ms . rossellini said that , of course , she is \u201ca huge dog person . \u201d\nbark : were you familiar with j . r . ackerley before you started the film ? paul : oh yeah , mostly with the book my dog tulip . once we decided to make the film , i got in touch with peter parker , the british writer who wrote a very extensive biography of j . r . ackerley [ the life of j . r . ackerley , 1989 ] . and then i read everything ackerley ever wrote , including his letters .\nin a quiet weekend without big new releases , holdover family drama a dog ' s purpose staged a surprise upset over wolverine threequel logan .\nas a dog owner there were parts of this book that made me a little emotional . and there was plenty of information that was pretty fascinating . but ackerley ' s description of tulip ' s sex life was a little creepy . he seemed way too interested and descriptive .\nthe chapters describing ackerley\u2019s dog\u2019s poop and his lack of disposing of said poop were the best part of the book . i guess that\u2019s a mixed compliment given my general disregard for the book as a whole , however , i did genuinely find this part interesting mainly b / c of how it was a reflection of the time period and just how different things were in society then . now for the rest of the book : i really really disliked it . how on earth does anyone consider this to be a classic of dog lover literature ? the man not once but twice considers drowning his dog\u2019s newborn puppies in a bucket of water . let me repeat that , the author admits without qualm that the very same puppies he tried so hard to have his dog have are the ones he was seconds away from drowning in a bucket of water . nice guy . then there is the overly detailed description of his dog\u2019s heat and breeding . this man\u2019s fascination with his dog\u2019s nether regions and her sex life were more than a bit unsettling . i can accept that things were different then and getting a dog fixed wasn\u2019t the norm , but i can\u2019t get over his desire to become so involved in his dog\u2019s reproduction . dogs managed to have sex just fine before the invention of vaseline and if you ever get to the point in your life when you consider applying it to your dog , well , seek help , don\u2019t write a book about it .\nit isn ' t clear that tulip much wants to become pregnant , but ackerley is determined that she be impregnated . perhaps she is a surrogate through which he achieves fertility . lord knows they struggle together , j . r . and tulip , through the travails of courtship .\nwhite with red stripes are nothing new in the tulip field . in fact , it was the viceroy and the semper augustus , striped tulips very similar to the canada 150 , that were among the most egregious examples of tulip mania \u2014 the ruinous financial speculation over tulip bulbs that occurred in the 17th century dutch republic . although , those varieties were striped due to a virus , unlike the naturally striped carnaval de rio .\n\u201cshe offered me what i had never found in my life with humans : constant , single - hearted , incorruptible , uncritical devotion , which it is in the nature of dogs to offer . \u201d\nmy dog tulip is populated with some notable people - characters : isabella rossellini is the voice of the kind , no - nonsense vet who helps ackerley to understand and accept some of tulip ' s more bewildering behavior ; lynn redgrave ( who died shortly after the film was completed ) is ackerley ' s bossy sister . but the movie ' s real star has no lines at all , unless you included barks , sighs and the occasional whimper . in the body the fierlingers have given her on film , tulip is alternately a blur of action and joy , an inquisitive being of great intelligence and curiosity , a snoozy , snoring bundle in a chair . occasionally , you might notice her looking into the\ncamera ,\nbut you ' ll have to forgive her , because she ' s not a professional actor and doesn ' t know any better . to call tulip a cartoon is an insult : she is , beyond a doubt , all dog , and she is as real to us within the frames of this movie as ackerley made her on the page .\nackerley is in love with the dogginess of dogs \u2013 impervious to the artificial disgusts which humans call civilisation . for if kitsch is the negation of shit , then there are very few things less kitsch than a dog . which is why , after ackerley ' s examination of liquids and solids , the main subject of my dog tulip is his attempt to offer tulip a sex life . and there ' s a way in which this search for sex is also ackerley ' s , so it ' s possible to see this book as a great fantasia of the unconscious \u2013 but its real truth is more radical . this book is a study in the problem of otherness . this is its deeper critique , of the conventional art of representation \u2013 the fake forsterian categories of flat and round character .\naccording to sandra , painting tulip\nwas hard and then i got into the swing of things , and most of my painting depends on how paul draws it , so i can be loose . with the realistic drawings , i don ' t know how many layers i had to paint her in , but i learned to really enjoy it .\nalibaba pictures rolled out an array of dog - loving promotional initiatives \u2014 both online and offline \u2014 during the lead - up to the movie ' s release . using parent company alibaba ' s big data resources , the studio with its online promotional campaigns targeted pet lovers , female moviegoers and families . alibaba pictures also organized a series of dog adoption activities in shopping malls across china and held a number of screenings open to dog owners and their pets .\nbark : what appealed to you about the way ackerley describes his relationship with this dog ? paul : what was appealing to me was that he didn\u2019t know dogs at all [ before tulip ] . and then i found out , reading his other material , he actually disliked dogs . he was annoyed by them . he was very intolerant of dogs barking in the neighborhood . and then here he got , in tulip , the worst kind of neurotic barker .\nthe healthy china performance of a dog ' s purpose is a boon for amblin . the film has grossed a decent $ 61 . 7 million in north america since its release jan . 27 , but it likely was hurt by a leaked video showing a dog being shoved into a water tank during production .\nout of print for years , tulip , is now back to amaze , amuse , and somewhat dismay those lucky enough to receive her . \u2014 boston globe\ni always like reading about dogs and dogs ' behavior with other dogs and with humans , but\nmy dog tulip\nis also an elegant piece of writing and an interesting period piece about england , its classes , and its values . the book has offended some reviewers because tulip ' s sex life or lack thereof is a main theme . i would agree that ackerley obsesses about whether his beloved alsatian ( a breed known as german shepherd by most of the world these days ) is sexually content , but the reader should also remember that the book was written in the mid - 1900s . dog overpopulation was not an issue as it is today , and concerns about doggie - sex reflected judgments regarding how such activity would affect a dog ' s behavior - - and based on ackerley ' s account , most seemed to think it was right , proper , natural , and good for dogs . ackerley , whose own life merits a biography ( and i have no doubt there are several ) , is a kindhearted man whose way of life reflects a high degree of self - sufficiency , if one can read a bit between the lines . tulip is his muse and is far more of a person to him than anyone else he describes . most dog - owning readers who can get beyond different perspectives associated with when the book was written should be able to identify with ackerley ' s love for tulip and appreciate his occasional struggles with her lack of appreciation for human standards of propriety . every reader should at least acknowledge that his writing provides an exquisite portrait of a dog and of life in england during a bygone era .\nthis is as charming as any other book written about a man\u2019s single - minded pursuit to get his dog laid . this book was in my quarterly literary fiction box from pagehabit , as a companion - book to the friend . it was published in england in 1956 and the u . s . in 1965 , in a distant past before lawmakers realized civilization would be nicer without dog poop on the streets , before bob barker was around to encourage people to spay and neuter their furfriends , and before the internet taught dogs how to have\nthe chapters describing ackerley\u2019s dog\u2019s poop and his lack of disposing of said poop were the best part of the book . i guess that\u2019s a mixed compliment given my general disregard for the book as a whole , however , i did genuinely find this part interesting mainly b / c of how it was a reflection of the time period and just how different things were in society then . now for the rest of the book : i really really disliked it . how on earth does anyone consider this to be a classic of dog lover literatur\npaul fierlinger : i would never venture into a film whose topic i had no personal connection to . i couldn\u2019t possibly make anything useful out of a subject i knew little about in a personal way . there\u2019s a scene in tulip in which ackerley walks over to his bar to have a drink while tulip is having puppies . only much later did i notice that i drew ackerley reaching for the bottle the way i have to in real life with my bad shoulder and i was not aware of animating ackerley like that at the time . sometimes this makes acting my characters difficult for me , for instance when i have to animate women . having never been one , i step into the task gingerly and have to keep asking sandra if she thinks it\u2019s alright , what i\u2019m doing .\nackerley was a famous curmudgeon and his tulip was a kindred spirit .\none of the reasons we made the film is to make it clear to people who are considering having dogs that they should rethink it if they don ' t understand dogs well ,\nproclaims paul fierlinger .\nwe had been successful with dog films [ still life with animated dogs , a room nearby ] before and when tulip became a possibility , i had always had it in the back of my mind as film material . i had to understand ackerly better . once i decided to do it , i had to look more into his past and got acquainted over email with his biographer , peter parker . and we became good friends .\nconsider the following moment in ackerley ' s description of tulip . he takes tulip to a series of vets , with all of whom she is in a manic flurry . she can only be sadly compared , say , to an obedient spaniel he can observe\nstanding quietly on a table with a thermometer sticking out of his bottom , like a cigarette\n. finally , he discovers miss canvey . with miss canvey , tulip is calm . and ackerley \u2013 what else ? \u2013 is distraught :\nwith four million sold , it was marketed by home hardware as a \u201climited edition\u201d red - and - white tulip developed by the netherlands especially for canada\u2019s 150th birthday .\ni have an eighteen - month - old sable border collie mix named yiya , who is the apple of my eye and more dear to me than i ever could have imagined . i mean , how could you not love her ?\nto this story , directed and animated by paul and sandra fierlinger , \u201cmy dog tulip\nbrings sandra ' s watercolors . fierlinger is the sort of watercolorist one would collect . her colors , her line , her ability to saturate or wash , are well - suited to the story . she makes a london in which its black cabs and red buses come alive , and then turns pastoral on putney common . her animated paintings have life and impact . she is an original , but if you know of an artist named david gentleman , you ' ll get the idea .\non the left , what the canada 150 tulip is supposed to look like . right , the orange tulips that came up in ontarian jane antoniak ' s garden instead .\nthe origin of the carnaval de rio becoming the canada 150 tulip lies with ottawa\u2019s national capital commission \u2014 which also happens to be one of canada\u2019s largest consumers of tulips .\nan amusing , fun account of life with a skittish , freewheeling german shepherd , jr ackerley ' s my dog tulip is a nice read , but i can see why it ' d also turn some readers off . indeed , what this book does best is what some people will hate : it ' s utter frankness . ackerley never minces his words , describing tulip in startling detail : her rambunctious attitude , her fur coat , her bowel movements and her heats . he never once tries to turn her into a human , but never treats her flippantly , either . it ' s a full portrait , warts and all . well , sort of . while he never hides how naughty she was , apparently he ' s also got the blinders on , too . in the introduction , it ' s noted that tulip was often so wild his friends stopped inviting him over since he always brought the dog . but then again , ackerley was utterly devoted to her : even when she does something bad , all she has to do is look at him with her and he just about melts . i did , too . a note about context : remember this book is set in the mid - to - late 1940s before judging him for not having tulip fixed or for his ideas on puppies .\nasaf agranat : according to this , maybe the more awkwardness and disabilities one have , the more one ' s animated characters will have particular personality : ) ( sometimes i think that this is what makes , say , robert wyatt ' s ( who ' s in wheelchair ) music , so different from everything else ) . since ' tulip ' is a feature film , it demanded big dedication and much effort over a long period ( i wouldn ' t believe you if you say it didn ' t ) . when i come to a point of choosing what to make my film about , i feel that everything can have tremendous importance ( because it ' s my creation ) , and this kinds of stresses me . do you get like this ? what made you decide to make a film about a relationship between a dog and her owner ?\na great deal of the book is taken up with ackerley ' s attempts to provide tulip with the experience of mating and motherhood . ackerley second guesses his choices constantly - is he doing what he should ? what is a fulfilling life like for a dog ? what are her wants and needs ? tulip , in turn , is equally , in ackerley ' s words , concerned with ackerley ' s well being , and in time , through the discussions of impacted anal glands and estrus , socially awkward pit stops and trips to the vet ,\nmeh . this was presented to me as the be - all , end - all of dog memoirs . what it is , in fact , is one man ' s obsession with his dog ' s elimination and procreative functions . given that it was published in 1956 , in england , there have to be allowances for the fact that the world view of dog ownership has changed , for the better , in the last fifty years . we pick up after them , and we neuter them , thus making them , and ourselves , more agreeable .\nbark : \u2026 and then often not picking up after tulip when she \u201cfouls the footway . \u201d people had different standards in the 1950s , but i\u2019m wondering if it was difficult for you to illustrate irresponsible dog - owner behaviors without commenting on them ? paul : poop - picking laws only began in the late 1970s here , and even later in europe . but [ tulip ] was out on the farm or the woods when she pooped without him picking it up . not on the street . back in the \u201950s and \u201960s in europe responsible dog owners trained their dogs to poop on the street , next to the sidewalks , what was considered the gutter . streets were swept early , every morning , even in communist countries .\ni listened to an audiobook version of this novel on a road trip . everything starts out good and it ' s quite funny and if you love dogs it ' s wonderful . but soon everything really heads to toilet town . over the course of the book ackerley ' s description of tulip becomes downright disturbing . you ' re lulled into a false sense of security that this is the story of a man who loves his dog and of the kind of kooky things that happen to them then - bam ! everything becomes about dog penises and vaginas and"]}

slasher was not only one of the earliest attempts to mimic the texas chain saw massacre , but one of the principal titles in greek exploitation cinema , and certainly the most successful .\ninsanely caustic satire on conservative values masquerading as a sick joke of a horror film , and also a pretty good travelogue .\nisland of death is a true ungodly video nasty coming to you straight from the best euro - exploitation period . this year 2003 , the movie received a complete digital remastering and it finally got released on special edition dvd . the box showed nothing but a red background with the explicit words :\nthe one movie that the censors didn ' t want you to see\nand\nsorry but we can ' t display images of the film on the cover since they ' re too gruesome\n. a bit exaggerated of course , this movie is far from being the goriest or most shocking film i ' ve ever seen . nevertheless it ' s mean - spirited , raw , brutal and pretty disturbing from time to time .\nisland of death\ndoesn ' t take the rules of humanity too strict and it isn ' t exactly what they call\npolitically correct\n. the movie seems to start like a lovely romantic comedy when a young couple arrives on a greek island . they look average but in fact they put other famous cinema couples like bonnie & clyde and mickey & mallory to shame . they brutally slaughter every person they come into contact with ( mostly right after sexual intercourse which give the killings a nasty effect ) and they have a few bizarre fetishes . island of death doesn ' t contain much humor unless you see the irony in many things . for example : the guy kills homosexuals because he thinks it ' s pervert and against the will of god , while he himself has sex with a young goat ! i thought that was pretty ironic , and there are lots of similar\njokes\nto discover in\nisland of death\n. even though there are a lot of horrible scenes , the movie itself is pretty light and not at all difficult too watch . excellent stuff for exploitation fans . the leading actress ( jane ryall ) is a beauty but she never played in movies again .\ni took a lot of shots of violence , but we didn ' t use any of those shots because this movie draws on a style of cinema that uses silence and poetry and it is completely different from a documentary film .\nthey were rebellious , death - obsessed , world - hating goths and disdainful school outcasts in a suburban ontario high school ( in the town of bailey downs , a\nsafe and caring community\n) .\ndirector nico mastorakis became inspired to make this film after viewing the texas chain saw massacre ( 1974 ) . he noticed how much money that film was making and decided to make a film more violent and perverse in order to make even more money . see more \u00bb\nallen myers , the film you are looking for about the airliner crash in the everglades is\nghost of flight 401\n.\na holidaying british couple wreak havoc on a small greek island , murder , mutilation , sexual degradation , abject horror . in their tyranny of terror the couple only stop for sex with anyone or thing on the island man , woman or animal . an inspector from london is out to stop them , but will he be able to stop their spree of madness and will they go unpunished ?\nin the film ' s tense conclusion , the two agents engaged in a fight -

weapon .\nstrong island is not an investigative documentary . ford\u2019s attempts to speak to those involved with the case are rebuffed . questions about official procedure , conduct and extra - judicial influence go unanswered . the film is more an anatomy of an injustice \u2013 one that many african american families will recognise .\nkong : skull island is just good enough - the sharp allusions , the moments of wit and warmth supplied by reilly ' s long - abandoned airman - to make one wish it were better .\n* * * * some spoilers * * * * there ' s nothing in this movie that you haven ' t already seen browsing the net . nothing is shocking about this film . in the film a man sodomizes a goat , there ' s a bulldozer decapitation , and a lesbian ' s face gets burnt off . all of these scenes of\nextreme violence\nare so fake , it makes one wonder why anyone would even want to resurface this piece of trash . i simply cannot believe i spent hard earned money on what certainly has to be the worst film ever made . don ' t let reviews fool you , this film would be a shame for anyone to own . . . except maybe prisons who want to torture inmates . for a real exploitation classic , look to bloodsucking freaks or even the more recent doom generation . island of death sinks to the bottom of the movie toilet and needs to be flushed out of existence .\nisland of death is the video nasty equivalent of the story of bonnie and clyde . this film has an elevated status on the video nasty list as it ' s often seen to be one of the more nasty entries . this is certainly true , as the film features all manner of gory and sadistic sequences , and it really isn ' t hard to see why it got banned . as far as i ' m concerned , island of death is an absolute treat , as the film is a constant stream of highlights and it ' s a great deal of fun seeing our central couple skipping from one murder to the next . it ' s obvious that the film is not meant to be taken completely seriously , as director nico mastorakis implements a pitch black sense of humour into most sequences ; the fact that the central duo are complete and utter hypocrites is perhaps one of the most amusing things about the film . the plot simply follows a young british couple who travel to a small greek island . after a phone call to the man ' s mother , it soon becomes apparent that these aren ' t normal people ; and when they start murdering their way through the island ' s perverted inhabitants in the name of god , this notion is confirmed ! the film is notorious for a few scenes , the one involving a goat being of the most well - known . however , aside from this ; the film features a plethora of gory highlights to delight the exploitation fan , favourites of mine involving a man hanging out of a plane and a rather one - sided swordfight . as you would expect from a video nasty , the acting is rather poor ; with the central duo putting in particularly horrid performances . it really doesn ' t matter , however , as director nico mastorakis makes up for his actor ' s lack of talent by selecting a beautiful lead actress ; and the stunningly clean greek locations , which brilliantly offset the gritty scenes of slaughter . films like this are quite common , as aside from bonnie and clyde , we ' ve also had badlands , natural born killers , true romance and more ; but this is the one that is relentless and really gives the audience the impression that anything can happen . the film boils to down to an excellent climax , which delivers a brutal final twist to the tale as well as serving up comeuppance . . . well , almost . typically for this film , the comeuppance isn ' t dished out in the most immediately obvious way , and overall ; for its imagination , brutality and daring - i don ' t hesitate to recommend this film !\ndo you worship at the altar of ape ? with your kong tickets you can toast the king with your very own mondo - designed glass featuring art by eric powell , and you can get your paws on an eye -

disc dvd set with over 246 hours of special features . it ' s amazing that only $ 15 million was spent on this fantastic 13 out of 10 star film . say goodbye to fame , steven spielberg , david decoteau is the new king of directing . now that i ' m finished talking about how fantastic this movie is , i ' ll tell you why . 1 . you should have known the entire time that the grizzly would win . they can fly , for crying out loud , and they can shoot quills at you . 2 . grizzly rage 3 . it has some of the most brilliant dialogue ever conceived . for example ,\nwhat ' s a bear doing all the way out here . . . ?\n( they ' re in a forest ) . 4 . the only thing more dangerous than an angry mama grizzly is a space grizzly . 5 . it had the best ending of any movie . ever . period . semicolon . exclamation mark . simply put : grizzly rage !\nanyone who grew up during the ' 70s knows that the gone with the wind of grizzly attack flicks is director william girdler ' s masterpiece , grizzly (\n18 feet of gut - crunching terror !\n) , followed closely by werner herzog ' s recent documentary , grizzly man (\nyou ' re the king , mr . brown bear ! you ' re the king ! oh , christ ! it ' s biting my f * cking head !\n) . paws down , you ' ve got to go a long way to top those two , but i was hoping that grizzly rage could , at the very least , provide some minor thrills ( a bear - induced torn - off limb , a nice bear stomp to the head , some nudity besides wes taking off his shirt ) that even a first - year film grad should have been able to wrestle out of grizzly rage ' s premise . i mean , this isn ' t rocket science . it ' s a bear attack movie . show the bear . show some teeth . show some claws . show some people sliced , diced , munched on and stomped ( preferably in that order ) .\nthe story follows 4 high school graduates ( 3 guys and one girl , can you say sausage fest ) who break into a closed down nature preserve . sure its chained up and they ' re breaking and entering , she tries to convince the group but there ' s too much testosterone in the vehicle and they just graduated so they ' re invincible right ? once in they begin driving around like lunatics and wouldn ' t ya know it they hit and kill a grizzly cub triggering the mother ' s grizzly rage .\nhey have you heard about this twilight thing ? apparently it\u2019s all the rage in indie rock these days . as we previously reported thom yorke , death cab for cutie , and bon iver have all penned original songs for the soundtrack to upcoming twilight sequel , new moon . today , another name was added to the list\u2014 under the radar anticipated albums of 2009 cover artist , grizzly bear .\neight young adults are sent to do community service at grizzly park . there , they are hunted by an escaped serial killer along with the animals of the forest .\nbrad pitt visits the foot of the rocky mountains in northern utah , where the seus family celebrates the first birthday of their twins - their adopted grizzly bear cubs .\nalas , such is not to be in grizzly rage . nothing works the way it should in grizzly rage , with poor scripting , poor plotting , poor direction , poor acting , and poor special effects pretty much making up a piss - poor attempt to craft an adequate exploitation piece . the story , such as it is , is remarkably sparse , which could have been to the film ' s benefit , had it been executed with even a modicum of talent or skill . after all , who needs exposition or character development in this kind of film ? just get on with the gnawing and the ripping , and have done with it . but grizzly rage introduces two subplots - a swamp filled with toxic waste and an abandoned shed , decked out with all kinds of bones and killing implements , like something out of the texas chainsaw massacre - that are briefly alluded to ( the swamp scene is literally one shot ) and then totally abandoned or ignored . what ' s up with the swamp ? did it make the bear the way she is ? or was it the cabin ? did the bear hold a grudge against the hunters that used to live there ? we ' ll never know .\ngestudio presents a strategic production . welcome to a day -

fi channel isn ' t scoring high points with me . grizzly rage was rather boring . i don ' t mind four cast members stranded and wandering around with no action for minutes on end , but there has to be some kind of hook for a movie like this to work . piles and piles of gore would have helped . instead the bear tends to just throw people in the air . since a real bear was used ( thank god ) , there are no scenes of it actually attacking people . you see quick cuts of the bear roaring and a comic book like dash of animated blood that streaks across the screen . that would be fine if it wasn ' t the only trick in the director ' s bag . hell , i ' m not gonna write a novel about this movie . watch it at your own risk if you think you can . . . . cough . . . cough . . . bear it .\ni ' ve always liked these kinds of movies where people head out into the countryside and run into a creature that doesn ' t like it ' s territory being invaded . in this particular case 4 funloving kids head out into an area thats off limits and has a locked gate , but that doesn ' t stop these kids who are out looking for adventure and really aren ' t paying attention to the surroundings that they are wildly speeding through and unfortunately a small grizzly cub ( in the movie it ' s a black bear cub ) wanders out into the path of their off road vehicle is hit and killed and thus starts the saga of a grizzly mom full of pent of rage over the loss of her small cub . i liked the movie for the scenery and parts of the story line but this is just 1 in a long line of these kinds of movies made especially to fil\ngrizzly rage\nis presented in an inconsistent 1 . 78 : 1 widescreen anamorphic transfer . i say this because at times the movie looks decent , with the green colors of the woods coming out fine , but sprinkled throughout the film , shots will be obviously filmed with a different camera of far less quality . shots that are within a car or close up along a house or rock formation , for what ever reason , seem to be shot with some sort of hand held camera your dad would use to film your camping vacation . these shots got really annoying , and disrupted what shred of linear story telling the movie had .\nits about four kids who hop into a rover they completely beat the shit out of before breaking down on their way to saranac grotto \u2013 an abandoned , chain link fenced , toxic waste dump . its a barren stretch of woods with , of course , no cell service . while skidding all over the road for no reason , they run over and kill a baby grizzly cub . momma grizzly immediately gets pissed and the froth mouthed , tv - movie caliber chase is on . all the while , back home , i\u2019m sure whatever parent that owned the truck is hoping they die horrible deaths .\ni started to watch grizzly rage ( titled off road in tv guide ) on tv last night but it was so bad i had to turn it off after 30 minutes . the plot was paper thin , the characters unbelievable . four graduates head\noff road\nand kill a bear cub in a restricted area . when the mother bear begins to stalk them , they start doing the dumbest things - ( 1 ) two of them head off in different directions - alone ! - to look for water for their overheated vehicle engine ( 2 ) with one guy already killed by the bear , a second guy goes wacky inside the car and causes the driver to go over an embankment ! it ' s just the type of movie that gives canadian films a bad reputation . . .\nseems to have become the norm over here : we now expect artists to appear fully formed , then spend the rest of their careers struggling to appear as interesting as they did at first . compare this to the fortunes of grizzly bear . they started life in 2004 \u2013 a year britain was falling , at various angles , for razorlight ,\nthis is an awful movie . it\u2019s got no talent , no effects , and a laughable story . the characters are one dimensional and completely unlikable . if you really want to see a bear movie i recommend \u201cgrizzly man\u201d at least that is real . if you want fiction with talent behind it see \u201cthe edge\u201d . this one is just pathetic .\ngrowing up grizzly features pitt as narrator in a year in the life of honey - bump and little bart , orphaned alaskan grizzlies whose mother was killed by a hunter . rescued by a state trooper , the little sister and brother newborn cubs were near starvation , but now they ' re healthy and happy and living a unique life with the seuses .\ngrowing up grizzly follows honey - bump and little bart through their first year , as they grow and discover the wonders of the world around them - their first swim in the river , their first drive into town for ice cream and their first time on a hollywood movie set . it also looks at the seus ' unconventional techniques for training the bears .\nbut that ' s not surprising , because everything is cheated in grizzly rage . we never really see the jeep smack the bear cub ( could have been a good orca : the killer whale - type moment ) , we never see any nudity ( let ' s face it : a must in this kind of film , and kate tood looks up to the job ) , and we never see the bear actually maul or tear into someone . instead , we get these hilariously fake , g - rated blood splatters superimposed ( right out of the elevator scene in earthquake ) over murky , muddy frames that made disney ' s the bears and i look like dario argento by comparison . and when you don ' t have blood , and gore , and gut - crunchin ' , and ripped - off limbs , and stomped - on heads in a bear - attack film , you have nothing .\neven worse is the dialogue from screenwriter arne olsen ( who penned what may be burt reynolds ' worst movie - and that ' s saying something , brother - cop and \u00bd ) . when we first see the four obnoxious characters who are to be the heroes of the film , their clich\u00e9d intros are :\nyo , g !\nwho ' s my boy ?\nand\nlivin ' large !\nwhen i heard that , i immediately scratched down in my notes ,\nwhich member of the poser mobile posse do i want dead first ?\n- and i couldn ' t decide . they all deserved it , right in the neck . the kicker , though , for utter inanity in grizzly rage , has to come during the interminable wait in the jeep , when lauren and wes ponder life ' s mysteries in connection with random , horrific bear attacks . lauren , in a philosophical mood , postulates that the group\nsome songs have caused a degree of controversy . when yet again leaked , a youtube user compared it to coldplay , thus answering at a stroke the question :\nwhat ' s the quickest way to send grizzly bear ' s fans apoplectic with rage ?\nbut he had a point , at least about where the music on shields might conceivably end up . making music that could fill arenas without first checking your brain into said arenas ' cloakroom facilities is clearly very difficult indeed : only grizzly bear ' s old friends radiohead seem able to continually pull in a mass audience without ever appearing to cravenly pander to the lowest common denominator . but yet again and a simple answer genuinely sound as if they could do the same . the arrangements and production are full of strange depths and unexpected touches \u2013 the former builds to a furious , distorted climax , the latter ' s lovely harmonies are trailed by an unsettling , piercing distorted noise \u2013 but at heart these are beautiful , strident , undeniable tunes . so is sun in your eyes , an epic clatter that surges from nothing to a piano ballad to a vast climax , underpinned by blaring , valedictory synths , then back to nothing again . it , too , has a weird time signature and tricky drumming , but it ' s not too much of a stretch to imagine huge crowds punching the air to it .\nhilarity continues in the film ' s direction , or lack there of , to be more accurate . it ' s bad enough that decoteau puts us to sleep in the first half hour with our teen morons ( he can ' t even shoot their jeep mugwhamping with any verve , often recycling the same twenty yard stretch of trail with the car action footage sped up ) , but fatally , he can ' t make the bear attacks worthwhile because we never really see the bear attack anyone ! i mean , what the hell ? you never see the bear in the same frame as any actor , which obviously indicates someone either shot the bear stuff separately , or the actors and trainer were scared to death something tragic might happen . which doesn ' t seem plausible because the bear featured in grizzly rage is about the slowest , sleepiest , most non - threatening bear i ' ve seen since the giggling snuggles\u00ae laundry bear popped out of my load of whites ( where he was promptly returned to the dryer on\nhigh heat\n) .\nwow , that was one of the worst movies i have ever seen . how could they let this movie leave the cutting room floor ? horrible acting . the plot well um there is no plot other than we suck and will all die . no blood , crappy all the way . the bear cub they kill is a black bear and the mom is a grizzly wtf come on sombody on the set say somthing . bad bad bad bad bad bad bad .\nthis is by far the worst movie i have ever seen . . . it is so bad . . . the bear is completely horrendous . . . the acting is worse than an elementary school play . . . i almost vomited at the dialogue . . . . oh my god it was so bad i even called the company who made it and told them how bad it was . . . the only 2 hours of my life i truly regret . . . no one should ever watch this pile of trash . . was this a horror or a real bad comedy . . . what was the story . . . a bear cub gets killed and its mother takes revenge on the teens who killed it . . . . . who wrote that . . . a bunch of monkeys on meth . . . . i and my wife have never and will never see such an empty abismul movie again . . . . time to give the raspberry of the century award to this waste of time . i have no more to say . . . . bring on grizzly rage 2 . . . . not . . . lmao\nit ' s not clear if huge crowds punching the air is what grizzly bear want : they trailed the album with sleeping ute , not the actions of a band desperate to lure in the floating voter . whatever happens , they ' re certainly not having to struggle to appear as interesting as they did on arrival . if anything , they ' re getting more intriguing as they go on : an object lesson in the value of allowing things to progress at their own pace .\nthen tank top starts getting depressed and asking bimbo several times \u201cwhy is this happening to us ? \u201d are you really wondering that dipshit ? i can think of a few reasons . tank top goes to scale a cliff to see if he can get cell phone reception . it\u2019s a no go so he howls in anguish . he gets back to the car and they talk about regrets . before the t - rex from jurassic park , i mean the grizzly topples the jeep .\ngrizzly rage\nstarts out great , as in really bad , but in that beautiful sort of way that is really entertaining to watch . the four kids talk like the most stereotypical students , beginning every sentence with \u201cdude\u201d and ending each sentence with \u201cbro\u201d . they form the \u201crock on\u201d gesture with their hands whenever something cool happens , or whenever they listen to horrible rock music in their car . they wear backwards hats , surfer shorts , and sandals . the sheer ridiculousness of it all grabbed me . sorrowfully , 20 minutes in , the movie let go . when the vicious mama bear makes her appearance , i thought i was going to watch her tear at least two of these kids apart , which would have made their dialogue and teenage - ery in the beginning worth it . however , whenever the bear attacks , the camera cuts to a close up shot to a person in bear chaps sort of rolling over the person being mauled , and a really lame blood splat hits the camera . the thing is , it\u2019s not even real - fake blood , but rather some sort of animation that looks as though it were made in flash .\nthey spin doughnuts in the woods . driving like assholes until they hit a tree and realize they hit and killed a bear cub . by this point they don\u2019t care one bit about doing the right thing so they just leave as mamma grizzly roars a very pissed sound that is less bear like and more the sound of a prehistoric monster . at least this movie helped me not give a hoot in hell about any of these characters . frankly , i want them all to die .\nthis film is about when 4 teens ( wes , shaun , ritch and lauren ) go wild after they graduate from high school , brake into private property , and kill a grizzly cub whose mother goes on rage to kill them . the film includes bad actors , goofs , and the toxic junk shouldn ' t even be in it . i gave it two because i gave it a little credit and at least all the bad actors died ! i wish i could go back in time and never watched this rip - off . i mean , bears don ' t live in that territory , 3 branches will not hold a car , and fake blood splatters isn ' t going to make it better . plus , at least a woman got a contraption in her back for bad acting ! plus , this is the first movie i ' ve seen that before the credits , it says the title again . my rating : d - so don ' t waste your life on this junk like i did , it is also possibly the top ten boringest film i have ever seen ! plus , the dialog is boring and pointless . don ' t watch this boring junk .\ngrizzly ( mutant ? ) mama vs the stupid teens that accidentally killed her cub . i was totally cheering for the bear . there ' s also some sort of lame environmental message tossed in every once in a while that only serves to make you want the bear to kill the kids faster . i actually thought that we were going to have a david decoteau movie where the hot dudes keep their clothes on . . . nope , the pretty dude wears boxers ( * spoiler * ) .\nthere are certainly moments when shields sounds exactly like you might expect something that ' s been agonised over by a bunch of clever american indie musicians for three years to sound : what ' s wrong drifts beautifully along without connecting , its intricate mesh of woodwind , vocal harmonies , jazzy drum patterns and string interludes all good judgment and no gut - punch . but more often , it sounds as if grizzly bear have spent their time away digging out the emotions that sometimes get buried beneath the technical fireworks . speak in rounds builds to a climax that \u2013 to use a phrase not much associated with grizzly bear \u2013 rocks , and furthermore rocks in a viscerally thrilling manner . the opener , sleeping ute , is every bit as knotty as anything on veckatimest , but its odd time signature and synthesiser arpeggios appear to be there for a purpose . the music sounds as if it ' s tossing and turning :\nif i could find peace \u2026 if i could lie still \u2026 but i can ' t help myself .\nin a scene transition that could give whiplash it\u2019s suddenly night . scarf -

( tentacles are squid limbs that often end in teeth and hooks , and are usually significantly longer than squid arms . ) paxton also examined 46 instances where beak , or mouth , size was measured along with mantle length . he found that beak size could help predict mantle length , confirming previous studies . \u201d\nbut i watched the whole thing . unfortunately full of errors regarding diving as my daughter kept commenting on throughout the movie . charlie o ' connell is definitely not the actor his brother is ( not that his brother is a great actor ) . the kraken was not much of a scare . i hated the underwater shots where it was hard to tell the difference between the good and bad guys . the best part of the movie was the jokes we made about it . watch it if nothing else is on but don ' t have any expectations about quality . the tentacles of the kraken are supposedly razor sharp but they only cut some of the time . the ending sucked the big enchilada . you gotta give the folks at scifi some credit , they keep churning out these films so we can relive the whole b -

wide eyes , which help them to absorb as much light as possible to glimpse prey , they also have long feeding tentacles . these tentacles are more than twice their body length , and the squids can shoot out to long distances like a net . this allows these big , comparatively conspicuous squids to sneak up and catch prey . but what do giant squids eat ? although scientists have not witnessed a giant squid feeding , they have cut open the stomachs of squids washed up on beaches to see what they had eaten recently . giant squid mostly eat deep water fishes and other squids\u2014including other giant squids . they also will attack schools of fish from below , quickly ascending into shallower waters to grab a meal before retreating to safer depths away from predators . once prey is caught by the suckers and teeth on the feeding tentacles , the squid will rein it in and bring it towards its beak with its eight arms . the beak breaks the food down into smaller pieces , and the radula , a tongue - like organ covered in teeth , grinds it down further . then the food goes down the esophagus \u2014which travels through the squid ' s brain\u2014to get to the stomach . evidence from a washed ashore squid suggests giant squid will steal the captured meal of another squid , presumably in order to reduce the risk of an attack by a sperm whale in shallow depths . the dead squid ' s two tentacles were ripped from their base and large sucker marks covered the mantle .\nultimate -

utilised and doesn ' t pose much of a threat . the death scenes are very lame , having nothing to them other than people being dragged under water . the dialogue is cheesy , the story is uninteresting and predictable and the characters are stereotypical and have no motivations to them , especially the villains . the acting is very poor as well , the female scientists don ' t act so and jack scaglia is equally unconvincing as a mobster . everybody else is bland . all in all , a really bad film but not quite bad enough to be bottom -

1800s did the leading cephalopod specialist of the day , professor japetus steenstrup of denmark , conclude that the mythical beasts were , in fact , very large squid . with the two long feeding tentacles arranged just right , they could be mistaken for arms sticking out of the mantle . the rest of the sea monk descriptions , however , he ascribed to a combination of astonishment and imagination .\nsquids on the whole make a grim impression on all those who are not accustomed to seeing them more frequently ,\nsteenstrup said .\nthose animals aroused still greater astonishment in earlier times .\nwhen they come out of the other side , they see hundreds of bones littering the sea floor . chunks of decaying flesh float past them . they can\u2019t see more than twenty or thirty feet in front of them .\noctopuses , squid and cuttlefishes have gripped the human imagination for thousands of years . from the kraken to cthluhu ( ku -

heedlessly - in love with england and literature , though all the audience comprehends is a rather peculiar passion for leather bindings , not what ' s in them . the film ' s helene might feel just as passionately about baseball cards and , in the blunt way miss bancroft performs , this would make somewhat more sense .\nmy first book had been published in 1981 , but since then each successive project had failed to get off the ground . now , tied down domestically and cut off from london , i felt myself sinking into oblivion . my only refuge was the wonderful local library , where i came upon 84 charing cross road . i was so moved by it i sent hanff a letter , explaining that i was a fellow writer and asking whether we might meet . before long we fixed a date .\nthe film has nothing to do with easy nostalgia ; it ' s about real , credible people , and as such finally becomes very moving .\nin charing cross road , \u201cfpd\u201d and his staff were deeply moved by this gesture from a woman they had never met , 3 , 500 miles away . at easter she delighted them again , with a parcel containing real eggs \u2013 their first in many years of making do with the powdered variety . and so began a more personal , more affectionate transatlantic relationship . soon hanff was exchanging letters not only with doel , but with his kindly irish wife , nora , as well as the rest of the team at marks & co .\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 had remembered watching this film many years ago with my mum and absolutely loved it as a child . i had often thought about it and was delighted to find the film on amazon . i thought maybe it wouldn ' t be as good as i ' d remembered it however it was ! so clever how they made a film based on a book of letters and anne bancroft completely captures the bright energy of helene hanff and anthony hopkins plays a gentle and charming frank . such a lovely film perfect for a sunday afternoon . also the book is a wonderful read too . such a lovely tale of a correspondence that spanned over 20 years and a friendship based on the love of books even though helene and frank didn ' t get the opportunity to meet . a lovely film that captured me as a child and i ' m happy to say as an adult also .\nto a friend embarking on a trip to london that spring , she wrote : \u201cthe blessed man who sold me all my books died a few months ago . but marks & co is still there . if you happen to pass by 84 charing cross road , kiss it for me ! i owe it so much . \u201d the epistolary book chronicling her relationship with the shop was born out of her deep sense of loss . published in the us in 1970 , it was an instant success . unexpectedly , hanff was catapulted out of obscurity to be feted in the media as a new literary celebrity . fan letters poured in to her tiny apartment on east 72nd street .\na story about love and the love of books , 84 charing cross road features academy award ( r ) winners anne bancroft and anthony hopkins in stellar performances . helen hanff ( bancroft ) , a feisty new york writer , mails a letter to a small london bookshop requesting some rare english classics . frank doel ( hopkins ) , the reserved english bookseller , answers her request , beginning a touching and humorous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades . hanff ' s aloof british demeanor , but their mutual love of books forms a bond that deepens with each passing year . their intimate , richly detailed letters draw us into their lives as helen and frank share theirdreams , hopes , sorrows and joys - and , in doing so , develop a lasting and extraordinary friendship .\nwhat a great film . i saw this by accident on the television one sunday afternoon and was totally absorbed by the storyline . it also appealed to me as an avid lover of books and as someone who has always wanted to own a bookshop . the story is heartwarming and funny . would highly recommend . i haven ' t read the book that this film was based on but it ' s on my list to buy .\na nice sunday afternoon film . nice to see hopkins in something before he became a big star ( when he still tried to act ! ) . no - one does repressed englishman better than him and this character ranks with his remains of the day , shadowlands , howards end and elephant man characters . bancroft is great too . it ' s really a film of two halves . if they ever remake it they they use two directors ; one to shoot the london section and the other to shoot the ny section . would be an interesting experiment .\nlovely , amusing film - really enjoyed it . great actors . bancroft plays an america jewish woman who seeks specialist old books . she writes to the shop in london and the manager is hopkins . over the years they start up regular correspondence . the films shows how their lives - her in america and him and his staff and families in london - develop in the twenty years ; including marriages and deaths etc . she even sends food parcels as extra payment for the books as england is still under rations / coupons just after the war when the film begins . unfortunately the american cannot visit them all during the coronation as she has to pay out for dental work . but when she does come over many years later the shop is closed down and the manager ( hopkins ) is dead . what a sad ending ! ! loved this film .\nthis is such a lovely gentle film , far removed from the noisy and violent themes that seem to dominate today . the true story of writer helene hanff and her search for lovely old books that she just cannot find in america . she discovers a bookshop specialising in exactly what she wants and writes to the shop asking for certain books . this begins a wonderful relationship between the shop manager anthony hopkins and herself ( played beautifully by anne bancroft ) . over the years ( the 50s and 60s ) helene manages to add more and more books to her collection , making her desire to actually come to london and visit the shop and all the staff stronger and stronger . i won ' t say more as i do not wish to spoil the film . this is a must for anyone who just wants to be entertained by a brilliant film , well acted and directed .\nin this film , an american writer answers an advertisement from a rare - book store in london and begins a two - decade romance via correspondence with a man in the overseas department . despite several attempts , they never manage to meet . she finally makes it to london only to find the man long gone .\ni have read the book , and then listened to the audio version with juliette stevenson and kevin wheatley reading as helene hanff and frank . twice . the audio is wonderful and captures the letters and the growing fondness between the 2 so well . as does this film . wonderful ann bancroft and antony hopkins . the audio is still my favourite .\nthe film crosscuts between the letters ( hers to them and theirs to her ) in which hardly anything of importance is revealed . she sends them packages of food , which they receive with weepy gratitude , in return for which they send her gifts that bring on the kind of teary - eyed smiles a mother directs at her son - the - doctor .\nthe film is a seemingly unending series of non - epiphanies . the first comes in 1949 when , standing on madison avenue , thumbing through a copy of her beloved saturday review of literature , helene spots an advertisement for marks & co . , antiquarian booksellers . miss bancroft reacts in the manner of an all - too - sincere actress playing bernadette having her first vision .\nthis helene has very few friends . the film treats the emptiness of her life with the delicacy of an undertaker . it maintains utmost discretion . at one point the camera , in panning across her cluttered apartment , sees the photograph of a naval officer on which the camera lingers for maybe half a second . is he a dead fiance ? a brother ? admiral nimitz ? one shouldn ' t ask .\nthe film is based on a hit london and new york play , which was based on a best - selling book . given the thin and unlikely subject matter , that already is a series of miracles . and yet there are people who are pushovers for this material . i should know . i read the book and i saw the play and now i am reviewing the movie , and i still don ' t think the basic idea is sound .\nadapted from helene hanff ' s bestselling account of her dealings with the staff of a london bookshop , this is an absolute delight . building his film around the letters exchanged between hanff and manager frank doel , director david jones manages to create utterly credible characters , convey something of the beauty of books and make some telling comparisons between the gloomy reserve of postwar britain and the effervescence of cold war america . however , what makes this gentle drama so compelling are the performances of anthony hopkins and anne bancroft , who ingeniously fashion a romance between two people who never met .\nthis is a very entertaining film the pairing of anne bancroft and anthony hopkins is excellent , bancroft is really in top form as the sassy new york writer . hopkins is equally convincing as the reserved british book shop manager and buyer . such an entertaining story , the memory of this , will stay with you for a long time . i have always found anne bancroft to be such a captivating actress , i once sat next to her and her husband mel brooks , on a flight from new york to l . a . they were both very amusing company , and she told me she like working in the theatre to be the most rewarding . a superb actress and such a nice lady as well .\ni will not summarize the plot - - you can read others ' comments for that , or , better yet , see this yourself . classic film buffs who say that there was a golden age of cinema after which all is in decline need to see this one ( although i realize that 1987 probably is long enough ago to qualify as a bygone era for younger imdb users ) . i would not change a thing in this production . every member of the cast delivers the goods , the story is moving and truthful , the characters come to life and you ' re swept up in their lives . when you weary of car chases with explosions , language you can ' t repeat to your mom , clich\u00e9 - ridden distortions of human relationships and humor based on normally - private bodily functions , give yourself a treat and watch this movie . if you think only hobbits can be sweet and kind and show us the good that can reside in common folk , check out the humans in this one . if you . . . never mind , just see it .\nmusical romance concerning a landlord who tells dancers how social aspirations spoiled the success of duettists .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntrue story of a transatlantic business correspondence about used books that developed into a close friendship .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\ntoward the end of the movie , helene hanff says that\nit would have been worth learning old english to read chaucer\n. chaucer did not write in old english , he wrote in middle english .\n: you want a word of advice ? don ' t trust the cab drivers ; they ' ll take you five miles to go three blocks . . . and , uh , don ' t waste your time looking at a street map . nobody can find their way around london -

war austerity to the height of the swinging sixties \u2013 and was full of warmth , humour and humanity . if our notion of the \u201cspecial relationship\u201d between britain and america means anything at all , it is embodied in the pages of hanff\u2019s little book .\nit all began in october 1949 as a straightforward business correspondence . having seen an advert for marks & co , describing them as specialists in out - of - print books , hanff wrote to them with a wish list of titles she\u2019d been unable to acquire in new york . \u201ci am a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books , \u201d she explained . \u201cif you have clean second -

to - mouth existence as a writer of children\u2019s history books , television scripts and magazine articles , and regarded herself essentially as a failed playwright . her first proper book , in 1961 , was underfoot in show business , an account of how she had failed to \u201ccrash the theatre\u201d with her string of unproduced plays .\nthe long - running correspondence with \u201cher bookshop\u201d , and especially with frank doel , gave her a treasured bond with the city she seemed destined never to see . when , in january 1969 , she received a letter from marks & co informing her that doel had died of peritonitis following a ruptured appendix , she was devastated . the bond was lost .\nin britain the book was acquired by andr\u00e9 deutsch and published the following june and that month hanff at long last stepped off a plane at heathrow to enjoy five weeks in the city of her dreams . her only sadness was that marks & co had recently closed down . she made a pilgrimage to the empty , dusty shop and visited the now -

based journalist , the mother of two small sons and married to a city lawyer , but in the mid - eighties we had a two - year sojourn in the us while my husband ran his firm\u2019s new york office . he commuted to manhattan each day while i was stuck in connecticut with the kids . a beautiful place , but boring .\nwe met at rumpelmayer\u2019s , an elegant old caf\u00e9 on central park south . in her gravelly , smoker\u2019s voice she regaled me with anecdotes about new york life , and i relished her acerbic wit and self - deprecating humour .\nshe said she received countless letters from people claiming to be writers and wanting to meet her , who turned out to be amateurs and shams . she now refused to see such people . but she could tell i was a genuine writer , because mine had been a \u201cwriter\u2019s letter\u201d . even this small compliment acted on me like a tonic .\ni was in my mid - thirties , she was nearing 70 , i had a family , she was alone and fiercely independent . i was at a low ebb in my career , she was at the height of hers . yet , opposites though we were , we shared some common threads in our lives .\nwhen i told her about my stagnating career and fear that time was passing me by , she empathised because she had been through the same thing , at exactly the same age . she described how , when she was 34 , she woke up in a sweat one night at the terrifying thought that she still hadn\u2019t had a play on broadway .\nwhen i complained about how remote and unhelpful literary agents were , she snorted in agreement . her own agent , she said , wouldn\u2019t take her calls for years as she wasn\u2019t considered \u201cbig enough\u201d . even after 84 became a bestseller the agent remained elusive .\n\u201cit wasn\u2019t until i got a hollywood deal that she\u2019d finally speak to me . \u201d later , i explained my personal dilemma . like her , i was a passionate urbanite , but i couldn\u2019t come to manhattan much during the week because of my husband\u2019s and sons\u2019 schedules .\n\u201cthere\u2019s no dilemma , \u201d she declared . \u201cjust leave a note for your husband on friday evening , saying \u2018see you monday morning ! \u2019\u201d when her book q\u2019s legacy \u2013 about the influence on her of the literary critic sir arthur quiller - couch \u2013 came out in 1985 , naturally i read it with interest . i was disappointed . still , i arranged to call on her at home one day , so she could sign my copy . her inscription reads : \u201cfor monica porter \u2013 a young fellow writer \u2013 in the hope that she\u2019ll live to write far better books than this one . \u201d\nwe lost touch , eventually . then one day in april 1997 i opened the paper to find her obituary . she\u2019d had diabetes for many years and died as a result of complications a week short of her 80th birthday . sadly , all the fame and accolades bestowed on her over the years had not given her financial security . by her own account she was broke in her final years , and accepted a grant from an author\u2019s charity to help with hospital bills .\neven when she had money , hanff had given it away . sheila wheeler , doel\u2019s daughter , who lives in muswell hill , north london , tells me the writer made sure they received a share of her royalties following frank\u2019s death . \u201cwe saw her as an american fairy godmother when\ni was growing up , \u201d she says . \u201ci pictured her as someone tremendously rich and glamorous , looking like lauren bacall . it was a shock , when i finally met her in 1971 , to see how wrong i had been . \u201d\nin pictures -

me ! nhhnnhnnnhnhnhhhhnnnn . love trace\u2019s uncle albert inspired laugh .\nin regards to mike\u2019s whispered yelling . i always assumed that was a result of his chronic headaches . i can\u2019t imagine someone who suffers the intense pain of those regularly is willing to go full voice yelling .\ni don\u2019t have legit proof ( my only copy is the official dvd ) , but i\u2019m sure the deep 13 / non - spaghetti ball bumpers first showed up in the last episode , not this one . i mean think about it . it\u2019s mike\u2019s first episode . with a new opening theme and doorway sequence , you would assume they would have replaced all the gizmonic bumpers with deep 13 ones in brain , right ? so why aren\u2019t they in the last episode ? well , did anyone ever notice that the earliest rhino dvds actually have less bumpers than the others ? meaning that those specific ones were all most likely cut from the official release ? surely there\u2019s somebody who still has their old tapes ( when these episodes first aired ) who can confirm that brain has these bumpers ? makes me wish shout factory would put out more re - issues ( and more special editions like manos ) , they haven\u2019t done any since this past march .\nthis episode\u2019s great . nice short , mostly good movie with mikey being the highlight ( plus two gut busting moments at the very end ) . lovely song too . a real winner , five stars . season 5 has been on a roll since super dragon ( lost world and hercules were great too , swamp diamonds was average with a great short ) and there\u2019s still plenty of great episodes to come . this is my personal favorite era of the show .\nlike many episodes , this one gets better with repeated viewings . somehow i\u2019d forgotten about mike\u2019s \u201cthe master wants you , but he can\u2019t have you\u201d callback , and burst out laughing while watching this tonight .\nthe invention exchange is one of the best ones , it\u2019s just chaos . forrester getting increasingly aggravated with frank\u2019s baby crying ( \u201ci think someone needs a nap , permanently ! \u201d ) , crow and servo\u2019s purposefully - annoying waiter baiter ( \u201cexcuse me , pardon me , if i could just\u2026 excuse me , pardon me , if i could just\u2026\u201d ) that plays over their chatter and mike scurrying around - classic .\nthough it should be noted that any conversations between mikey and another female character wouldn\u2019t count , since mikey is still technically a male .\nat least peg isn\u2019t as anal as sue from are you ready for marriage .\ni get that these sort of shorts are expected to have a goofus to illustrate how to do something wrong . but even so peg seems needlessly thick .\nwhen i first saw this episode , i was genuinely unsure of mikey\u2019s gender when he was introduced .\nin the first segment , it\u2019s amazing how many of those celebrity romances are no more : almost all of them . i guess that was the point , but i\u2019m still impressed by their accuracy rate .\ni would have been more impressed if they had a high accuracy rating for picking romances that would have lasted .\n\u201cthe lovebirds have arrived . \u201d and they\u2019re leaving their droppings all over the place .\nmeanwhile , back in the cold , bitter , loveless life of her parents .\n\u201cwhere were you , then ? \u201d i vas in austria during the rumble .\ngary , i broke up with you while you were over there getting trashed .\nsome people might not realize that it was basically an offensive maneuver to let him slam me in the wall .\ngood episode . i\u2019ve got to say though , as someone who\u2019s quite susceptible to having songs stuck in my head for days , yipe stripes isn\u2019t one of them . which is odd , since it\u2019s the only song playing through the entire movie . or maybe the song is just so bad that i unconsciously push it out .\n\u201cin this episode they began using something different from the traditional five - second shot of the spinning spaghetti ball when they went to commercial . the bits show closeups of deep 13 . \u201d\nthese new bumpers actually debuted with the previous episode * . i\u2019m not sure if most people realize this , but rhino always cut the non - spaghetti ball bumpers out of their vhs releases , which carried over to when those episodes were re - released on dvd ( up through volume 3 or so ) . shout ! has done a good job for the most part with re - releasing these shows and restoring these bumpers ( and other things ) . you can find the full version of ep . 513 ( and 512 ) together on the bonus disc included in the 25th anniversary set .\n* and they\u2019re with every episode to the end of season 6 , each unique to their respective show . for future reference to those of you who only own the rhino dvds , these episodes don\u2019t got the bumpers either : 515 ( shout\u2019s dvd is the same , unfortunately , but the version on the vimeo streaming site has them all intact ) , 517 , 518 ( this is getting re - released again in september ) , 606 , 607 , 609 , 619 , 622\nthis movie was largely made by , and featured , people who had never made a movie before and would never make a movie again . hence , no cast and crew roundup this week .\na fun episode that\u2019s worth some revisits . come to think of it , i should probably rewatch this one soon .\ni want to think that anyone who was still potentially on the fence about mike after the brain that wouldn\u2019t die became more of a believer after this one . it doesn\u2019t hurt that mikey is one of the most memorable characters featured in an msted movie . the episode in general was great , but the riffing caught on fire when mikey popped up .\ni can see arguments both ways as to whether or not this film ( and its short ) should have been featured for the first mike experiment . on one hand , you have a film that\u2019s not as oppressively grim as the brain that wouldn\u2019t die . there was also the potential for humor with mike trying to leave the theater after the short , only to find that he had an entire film to sit through . on the other hand , there are some great things going on in the host segments , and you would have to lose them in order to establish the mike character and his bond with the \u2018bots . i go back and forth on this .\nseeing the mst3k scrapbook only makes me wish that i could have been at the conventio - con to hear what john humphries had to say for the celebrity guest panel .\neight years later , and i find that i like this episode more than ever . frank in the frankenforcer and dr . forrester going into rage mode cracks me up , as does tom\u2019s hover skirt getting stuck and disrupting the bots\u2019 turf war , and mike as mikey is priceless .\nthe movie is\u2026not that bad . i mean , it\u2019s awful , but it\u2019s not all that bad . i like these little regional indie films , and the fact that they managed to produce something with a storyline plus a beginning , middle and end is impressive . i could probably watch this movie unriffed , if i had to . though i\u2019d rather not .\none more thing . there\u2019s a scene toward the end , with betty and the janitor at the locker . he asks her what she\u2019s looking for , and she says , \u201ci\u2019m trying to find something . or not find it . or something . \u201d i always thought that her delivery was this close to being good \u2013 if only she\u2019d taken some acting lessons !\nthe \u201cit wasn\u2019t me that was murdered\u201d riff cracked me up , and that lady really reminded me of some of the actors i\u2019ve worked with in community theater in the past . this entire movie reeks of community theater , and that made it all the more entertaining to watch . definitely one of my favorite of season 5 .\ni really like the way the movie\u2019s title comes up with the guitar playing . it\u2019s pretty effective . just about the only effective thing in this movie , which is full of moments by turns perplexing and utterly charming .\ngood movie , but for me a great short . for the first one mike did , \u201cis this love ? \u201d was a real winner . i had the shorts 3 vhs and in high school i was in a critical thinking class and at one point we were discussing ways teenagers were seen in the past versus today . well , i talked my teacher into letting me show the short to the class . after a hurried explanation of why there were three weird characters at the bottom of the screen , i just let the thing play and it went over very well . the \u201cwe have a winner ! \u201d riff got a particularly big laugh . i did cut it off right before m & tb started reeling off their own short titles , fearing that might be a bridge too far for the teacher .\nafterward , the short actually led to a good discussion . so , mst3k educates the youth of america ! think about it won\u2019t you , thank you .\nas for the rest of the episode , there were no duds but the \u2018mikey glasses\u2019 skit i think was the first real gem from mike\u2019s era . it\u2019s one that just sticks in the mind , especially crow\u2019s sniveling at the end . jimmeh ? jimmeh ? \u2026\njoel\u2019s very \u2018pc\u2019 attitude was really kind of annoying . the \u2018booing\u2019 whenever a woman was hit was probably the most annoying .\nexactly ! thank you , uranium \u2013 235 . i am glad someone mentioned this . i love this show passionately\u2013it is my favorite tv show all time\u2013but the one negative for me is the pc stuff\u2026in particular the \u2018white male\u2019 bashing ( so very tiresome ) \u2026along with the above - mentioned item .\nhaydn 70 : exactly ! thank you , uranium \u2013 235 . i am glad someone mentioned this . i love this show passionately\u2013it is my favorite tv show all time\u2013but the one negative for me is the pc stuff\u2026in particular the \u2018white male\u2019 bashing ( so very tiresome ) \u2026along with the above - mentioned item .\nthe big riff for me was , \u201ci beat myself up ! \u201d love the short , but the way the original writers created the characters grates on me . i hate that the \u201clesson\u201d is delivered by making one side saintly while the other is completely unreasonable and childish . \u201cno ! i won\u2019t wait a few weeks more and graduate with a degree and a free house from my parents ! i want to get married now ! and no , i won\u2019t even let me folks meet my fiance before we elope ! \u201d\nmy favorite part of this episode is when the mother of the heroine is talking on the phone and the poodle in her arms appears as if he\u2019s looking down towards crow , and crow growls at him .\ntom : maybe this is the start of the counter culture . ( tom usually gets the worst / best puns . ) mike : now is this a teenager who strangles or a person who strangles teenagers ? crow : it wasn\u2019t me who was murdered , was it ?\ni like this episode a lot . mike is starts to get into the flow of things , and the movie wasn\u2019t half - bad either , it had a coherent plot , and while the acting was not very good , these were small town people not professional actors . still , it lends itself great for riffing and i am glad that john humphries ( mikey ) was a good sport and showed up at the first convestio - con . i agree with sampo about yipes stripes , i have had that song in my head since i watched it on the 28th of june , it\u2019s not a half - bad song either , nonsensical yes , but no worse than professionally produced bubblegum music . fave riffs : \u201cnow we\u2019re stuck in lake forest ! \u201d mike \u201ci live the other way , but all right . \u201d servo \u201coh . don\u2019t invoke jupiter . \u201d mike \u201cgo on . git ! \u201d crow"]}

making is quite unique . volver could have gone on for another hour or two : there seemed so much more to say . what a triumph for this great european director who just seems to get better and better .\nvolver marked the first time i was not only wowed by a cruz performance but frankly , even the least bit impressed by one . by the mid - 2000s , i ' d merely been acquainted with her turns in garbage like captain corelli ' s mandolin , gothika and vanilla sky , so i had to question why this seemingly skill - free actress was landing these high - profile roles in the first place . then , i saw volver , followed by elegy , and then i caught up on all about my mother too . and i finally got it . if only cruz could work on all of pedro almodovar ' s pictures !\nspanish director pedro almodovar is becoming one of the darlings of art house cinema . after winning an academy award for his screenplay for talk to her , he followed up that effort with the acclaimed film bad education . now , he ' ll continue to have a presence in north america as sony pictures classics will release his movie volver .\nvolver means to come back , and pedro almodovar ' s love letter to resilient women who transcend secrets , lies and bitter disappointment through ferocious love for their families is a series of variations on a theme of returning : revisiting your roots , mending relationships , reconsidering the past and even coming back from the dead . sultry , outspoken raimunda . . . read more\nith its overwhelming richness , its colour and warmth , pedro almod\u00f3var ' s new movie is set to capture your heart . volver seemed guilelessly wonderful when i first saw it earlier this year in cannes . now it looks even better . the picture ' s ingenuities and contrivances just seem to float out of the screen , like psychedelic moodshapes . i found myself floating right along with them .\nwhat is most unexpected about\nvolver\nis that it ' s not really about murder or the afterlife , but simply incorporates those awkward developments into the problems of daily living . his characters approach their dilemmas not with metaphysics but with common sense . a dead woman turns up as a ghost and is immediately absorbed into her family ' s ongoing problems : so what took her so long ?\nalmod\u00f3var deserves his reputation as a woman\u2019s director . \u201c volver is as manless a movie as i have seen , \u201d wrote reviewer anthony lane . two of the men who have speaking roles disappear . one is murdered , the other goes away . two other men appear even more briefly . one makes googly eyes at raimunda , but nothing comes of that . the other raimunda simply shuts out .\nacclaimed on its presentation at the 2006 cannes film festival , volver reunited director pedro almodovar with two of his leading ladies of years gone by - penelope cruz and carmen maura . reviews suggest the film is a typical effort from the acclaimed spaniard : a high - strung female - centred melodrama with extroverted colour palette , earthy humour , black comedy , some unusual genre crossover ( here a ghost story ) , and a fair bit of self conscious camp . despite exuding a far warmer and cuddlier air than the director \\ ' s divisive bad education , and securing strong box office results for a foreign language film , volver \\ ' s showing at the recent oscars was lean indeed . penelope cruz represented the film alone for best actress , almodovar not even securing a best foreign language film nomination .\nthe action in \u201cvolver\u201d moves back and forth between a workaday neighborhood in madrid and a windswept village in the spanish countryside . really , though , the movie takes place in a familiar , enchanted land \u2014 almod\u00f3varia , you might call it , or maybe pedrostan\u2014 where every room and street corner is saturated with bright color and vivid feeling and where discordant notes of violence , jealousy and fear ultimately resolve in the deeper harmonies of art .\nthe nominees for the european film awards were announced at the seville film festival today , with pedro almodovar \u2018s \u201c volver \u201d from spain and florian henckel von donnersmarck \u2018s \u201c the lives of others \u201d from germany dominating the nominations . each received six nods , including a nomination for best european film of the year . ken loach \u2018s \u201c the wind that shakes the barley , \u201d a co -

as is often the case with this genre of music - that iglesias \\ ' s scores inspire me more after i know how the dramatic demands of the film have influenced the musical choices . having said that , volver works remarkably well as an independent listening experience , and offers fans of film music with a taste for eclectic classical chamber music much to enjoy . for these , and for fans of elegant drama scoring in general , alberto iglesias \\ ' s volver is a must . one of the best film music albums of 2006 . and hopefully there \\ ' s much to look forward to in 2007 from this composer - including savage grace , caotica ana ( julio medem \\ ' s new film ) , her majestic minor , and a non - film music album .\nwas it hard to play a such a borderline character ? as a matter of fact , it was very complicated . in the beginning , i thought she was a very neutral character , but as i had already played women on the verge of a nervous breakdown with pedro , i could give more depth to this character and create a wonderful mother . the rehearsal period was fundamental to enhancing this idyll between director and actress , which we already knew was strong , and which became even stronger after volver . actually , there was one thing that really made me nervous . i have been to many festivals , international premieres and press conferences in my life . however , i have never been as nervous as during the world premiere of volver in pedro ' s hometown , puertollano , in la mancha . it was such a big thrill . la mancha was there to support pedro , it was an amazing display of tenderness .\n\u201cvolver , \u201d full of surprises and reversals , unfolds with breathtaking ease and self - confidence . it is in some ways a smaller , simpler film than either \u201ctalk to her\u201d or \u201cbad education , \u201d choosing to tell its story without flashbacks or intricate parallel plots , but it is no less the work of a master . and it\u2019s a testament to the filmmaker\u2019s generosity of spirit that he effectively hands the movie over to its ensemble of lively and resourceful actresses , and in particular to its star , pen\u00e9lope cruz .\nto relate the details of the narrative \u2014 death , cancer , betrayal , parental abandonment , more death \u2014 would create an impression of dreariness and woe . but nothing could be further from the spirit of \u201cvolver , \u201d which is buoyant without being flip , and consoling without ever becoming maudlin . mr . almod\u00f3var acknowledges misfortune \u2014 and takes it seriously \u2014 from a perspective that is essentially comic . very few filmmakers have managed to smile so convincingly in the face of misery and fatality : jean renoir and billy wilder come immediately to mind , and mr . almod\u00f3var , if he is not yet their equal , surely belongs in their company . \u201cvolver\u201d is often dazzling in its artifice \u2014 jos\u00e9 luis alcaine\u2019s ripe cinematography , alberto iglesias\u2019s suave , heart - tugging score \u2014 but it is never false . it draws you in , invites you to linger and makes you eager to return . it offers something better than realism . the real world , after all , is where we all have to live ; for some of us , though , mr . almod\u00f3var\u2019s world is home .\npedro almod\u00f3var gets back in touch with his feminine side in volver , the spanish helmer ' s most femme fable since 1999 ' s all about my mother . one of that film ' s stars , pen\u00e9lope cruz , here takes centre stage as a domestic drudge caught up in family strife - including the return of her supposedly dead mother ( almod\u00f3var veteran carmen maura ) . despite dwelling on death , there ' s plenty of life in this mix of tears and laughter , although the style ' s subdued compared with the writer / director ' s earlier melodramas .\nvolver\nis spanish for\nto return ,\ni am informed . the film reminds me of fellini ' s\namarcord ,\nalso a fanciful revisit to childhood which translates as\ni remember .\nwhat the directors are doing , i think , is paying tribute to the women who raised them - - their conversations , conspiracies , ambitions , compromises and feeling for romance . ( what fellini does more closely resembles revenge . ) these characters seem to get along so easily that even the introduction of a\ndead\ncharacter can be taken in stride .\nraimunda lives in madrid with her daughter paula and her husband paco , who is always drunk . her sister , sole , is separated and works clandestinely as a hairstylist for women . the two sisters lost their parents in a fire in la mancha , their birth village , years ago . their aunt , paula , still lives in the village and continues to speak about her sister irene , mother of the two sisters , as if she were still alive . when the old aunt dies the situation changes and the past returns ( volver ) in a twist of mystery and suspense .\nis the film going to compete in cannes ? going to cannes doesn ' t depend on me . or it does , but only partially . i was asked to send the film , which i did , and afterwards i asked the girls if they would fancy walking around the croisette , showing off their outfits and it seems that they would . as bad education was the opening film in cannes , maybe this time volver could be the closing film , although that isn\u2019t very interesting . i would like the film to be shown in competition , but i haven\u2019t received an answer so far .\ntheir visiting and loud air - kissing take place in the region of la mancha in \u201cthe village . \u201d ( it is fictitious alcanfor de las infantas , camphor of the princesses\u2014and smell plays a jokey part in this film . ) this is \u201cblack spain , \u201d rural , conservative , backward , superstitious , and church - ridden . but almod\u00f3var has said , \u201c volver destroys all the clich\u00e9s about black spain and offers a spain that is as real as it is the opposite . a spain that is white , spontaneous , funny , intrepid , supportive and fair . \u201d well , sort of .\nfrom two - time academy award ( r ) - winner pedro almod\u00f3var ( 2003 , best original screenplay , talk to her ; 2000 , best foreign language film , all about my mother ) comes volver , a comedic and compassionate tribute to women and their resilience in the face of life ' s most outrageous tribulations . a luminous pen\u00e9lope cruz leads an ensemble of gifted actresses , including carmen maura ( women on the verge of a nervous breakdown ) . raimunda ( cruz ) and her sister sole lost their parents in a tragic fire years ago . . . or did they ? superstitious villagers claim that the girls ' departed mother , irene ( maura ) , has been seen wandering around their aunt paula ' s home . when irene appears to sole , she explains that she has returned to set right her daughters ' troubled lives and reveal shocking secrets that will impact everyone ! raimunda has\nfemale troubles\nof her own , least of which is a corpse in the freezer ! winner of numerous film festival and critics ' awards , volver is a hilarious tale of love , loss and forgiveness . \u00a9 2006 el deseo d . a . , s . l . u . all rights reserved .\nmeanwhile , irene turns up at sole ' s apartment , starts helping her with her hair clients , and get to know her granddaughter paula , but dares not reveal herself to raimunda , from whom she has been estranged for years . before all the women can reconcile , some secrets about the night of the fire , and even further back , will have to be revealed . this 2006 pedro almodovar film features his usual wonderful mix of absurdity , rich emotions , strong women , terrific laughs , and wonderful acting .\nvolver ,\nby the way , is spanish for\nto return .\nsuch troubles ! the blood belongs to her husband , paco ( antonio de la torre ) , who has recently expired in a bright crimson pool on the kitchen floor after taking a carving knife to the belly . his killing is not exactly to be shrugged off \u2014 and he does eventually receive a proper burial of sorts \u2014 but he is not exactly mourned either . men , for raimunda and her circle , tend to be malevolent , irrelevant or simply absent : straying husbands , predators , dead bodies . they cause a fair amount of trouble , but the point of \u201cvolver\u201d is that it\u2019s not about them .\nvolver is a meeting of\nmildred pierce\nand\narsenic and old lace\n, combined with the surrealistic naturalism of my fourth film ,\n\u00bfqu\u00e9 he hecho yo para merecer esto ! !\n(\nwhat have i done to deserve this ?\n) , that is , madrid and its lively working - class neighbourhoods , where the immigrants from the various spanish provinces share dreams , lives and fortune with a multitude of ethnic groups and other races . at the heart of this social framework , three generations of women survive wind , fire and even death , thanks to goodness , audacity and a limitless vitality . they are raimunda ( p\u00e9nelope cruz ) , who is married to an unemployed labourer and has a teenage daughter ( yohana cobo ) ; sole ( lola due\u00f1as ) , her sister , who makes a living as a hairdresser ; and the mother of both ( carmen maura ) , who died in a fire along with her husband . this character appears first to her sister ( chus lampreave ) and then to sole , although the people with whom she has some unresolved matters are raimunda and her neighbour in the village , agustina ( blanca portillo ) . volver is not a surrealistic comedy although it may seem so at times . the living and the dead coexist without any discord , causing situations that are either hilarious or filled with a deep , genuine emotion . it ' s a film about the culture of death in my native la mancha . the people there practice it with an admirable naturalness . the way in which the dead continue to be present in their lives , the richness and humanity of their rites mean that the dead never die . volver destroys all the clich\u00e9s about\nblack\nspain and offers a spain that is as real as it is the opposite . a spain that is white , spontaneous , funny , intrepid , supportive and fair .\nattempting to fuse the classic noir of mildred pierce with the kitchen - sink whimsy of the director ' s own what have i done to deserve this ? , volver ( which means ' to come back ' ) suffers from plot implausibilities and uneven characterisation ( paula ends up a sidelined cipher ) . but the humour and the heartstring - pulling hit the mark , as do most of the cast , not least cruz . sporting a prosthetic posterior , she ' s one hot mama . but never mind the buttocks : it ' s the pitch - perfect blend of pride and vulnerability , spirit and sadness that really makes her performance stand out .\nand they say that actresses disappear after 40 ! mirren ' s two globe wins put her in the front row - - oscar could very well go for a king and queen this year - - though meryl streep ( who also a globe winner , in the musical or comedy division ) also gives a formidable performance . ( admittedly , it ' s a supporting performance , but as with\nthe last king of scotland ,\nthe academy will certainly overlook the picture ' s ostensible lead , anne hathaway . ) kate winslet could make it three british contenders here , and i ' m hoping penelope cruz nabs the fifth spot for\nvolver .\npen\u00e9lope cruz and lola due\u00f1as play raimunda and soledad , two sisters living in madrid whose parents were killed three years earlier in a fire . when soledad returns for a visit to the village where they grew up , she learns that her mother irene has returned as a ghost ; then , when soledad returns to madrid , turns out irene has stowed away and returned with her ( \u2018volver\u2019 means \u2018to return ) . meanwhile , raimunda is dealing with dramas of her own , involving her daughter , an attempted rape , a murder , and a dead body hidden in a freezer . things get more complicated after that , comprende ? si , es una pel\u00edcula de almod\u00f3var .\nfirst off , cruz has never , ever looked more more radiant than she does in volver . the camera is madly in love with her and even though the entire picture has a sumptuous , colorful , painting - like look , cruz brightens up every single moment she ' s on the screen , like a ray of sunshine . it ' s a remarkable turn , though carmen maura , yohana cobo and lola duenas are just as terrific - it ' s unfair , i think , to single out just one performance , even if cruz ' s screen presence is the most enchanting . this is one of almodovar ' s very best films and i could see giving cruz the win in a weaker year .\nfirst thought a ghost , irene returns in the flesh . mother and daughter are finally reunited tearily in the house of the dying agustina . death again . but the last line of the film is , \u201cghosts don\u2019t cry . \u201d in the dvd commentary , almod\u00f3var says . \u201cactually the ghost cries , which means she isn\u2019t a ghost but has condemned herself to live like one . she makes up for what she has done , and that\u2019s very important , \u201d that balancing of the books to achieve a rough justice . irene will mother agustina , atoning . the last shot has red - skirted irene disappearing into agustina\u2019s house . there is a death in the house but also a rebirth , a return , volver .\nvolver is the portrait of a dark , bleak spain , which contrasts your colourful and passionate style . did you want to use franco\u2019s\ndark\nspain to then expose the passion of its people , despite the dictatorship ? i wanted revenge , the kind of revenge that sometimes may take centuries to carry out and that a grandchild , or the nephews of nephews , might still carry on their shoulders . i think this happens everywhere in spain , not only in la mancha . it was important for me to show another , totally different spain , where life goes on , despite the cruel acts that have taken place in the so - called darker spain . la mancha is a region with a great tradition of tragedies .\nin pedro almodovar ' s enchanting , gentle , transgressive\nvolver ,\na deceased matriarch named irene ( carmen maura ) has moved in with her sister paula ( chus lampleave ) , who is growing senile and appreciates some help around the house , especially with the baking . they live , or whatever you ' d call it , in a spanish town where the men die young , and the women spend weekends cheerfully polishing and tending their graves , just as if they were keeping house for them . in exemplary classic style , almodovar uses a right - to - left tracking shot to show this housekeeping carrying us back into the past , and then a subtle , centered zoom to establish the past as part of the present .\nvolver . coming back from buenos aires and do the opposite trip to europe . bonds are tied from now on and for a long time to come . yes , this album is a sequel , the second chapter of a diptych initiated with \u201cpalermo hollywood\u201d a year ago by benjamin biolay , written and composed across two times , as an intense , sentimental and geographical musical chass\u00e9 - crois\u00e9 . along with the neo - cumbia and urban beats comes local rock music , without forgetting the elegance of a high - end french author . 16 tracks incl . 2 exclusive tracks : villa crespo and san mascolo including collaborations with illya kuryaki and the valderramas , mala rodriguez , miss bolivia , borges , sofia wilhemi , ambrosia parsley , dionys mascolo\u2026\nrecording and mixing of the album ( by jose luis crespo and red led ) is superb - communicating each voice in the ensemble . performers - including a few regulars from previous iglesias recordings - acquit themselves finely . the three songs on the album all appear in the film - as is common in almodovar films . ( penelope cruz \\ ' s character apparently sings\nvolver\n, though on album it is performed by estrella morenta ) . none of the songs overly intrude for the listener trying to focus on iglesias \\ ' s score , though the final track\na good thing\n( performed by saint etienne ) belies its name . after such atmospheric scoring , this girl power ballad can \\ ' t help but feel extremely slight .\nvolver , ( in english , coming home or coming back ) , is a gripping melodrama inspired by the trash tv that is a soundtrack to its characters ' lives . pen\u00e9lope cruz is raimunda , a hard - working woman with a teenage daughter , paula ( yohana cobo ) , and a feckless , layabout husband . with her sister sole ( lola due\u00f1as ) she tends to the graves of her parents , and visits her ailing aunt paula ( chus lampreave ) , who is heartrendingly in the final stages of dementia . raimunda ' s family life shatters with one terrible act of violence , and there is a secret about her late mother irene ( carmen maura ) that surfaces when irene returns from beyond the grave to make contact with her astonished daughters .\n\u201cthis is a movie about mothers , \u201d almod\u00f3var says in his commentary . mother - love is almod\u00f3var\u2019s constant theme , not just in this movie . but , as the psychoanalysts tell us , babies not only love mother because she feeds them , but babies also hate her when she doesn\u2019t . ( those furious screams of frustration . ) we as adults , all of us , are ambivalent toward mothers , and mothers are toward us . volver nicely captures that psychological truth in its double - barreled portrayal of mothers ( and daughters ) as both giving life and taking life . and it is so artfully done we scarcely notice that , underneath the satisfying mystery movie , lies a disturbing truth . almod\u00f3var shows once again how subtle and powerful an artist he is .\npedro almod\u00f3var , the benevolent deity of this world , has revealed it \u2014 or , rather , created it \u2014 piece by piece from one film to the next . his two previous movies , \u201ctalk to her\u201d ( 2002 ) and \u201cbad education\u201d ( 2004 ) , explored previously uncharted regions of masculine melodrama , while \u201cvolver , \u201d whose title can be translated as \u201cto return , \u201d revisits the woman - centered territory of \u201call about my mother\u201d ( 1999 ) and \u201cwomen on the verge of a nervous breakdown\u201d ( 1988 ) . drawing on influences ranging from latin american telenovelas to classic hollywood weepies and on an iconography of female endurance that includes anna magnani and joan crawford , mr . almod\u00f3var has made yet another picture that moves beyond camp into a realm of wise , luxuriant humanism .\nso volver is a ghost story . or is it ? as the movie drifts along the periphery of the supernatural , i went into a trance , which almod\u00f3var induces with a master ' s confidence . all the movie ' s secrets are rolled out in a narrative design that is exuberant and elegant . its cinematography and art direction , by jos\u00e9 luis alcaine and salvador parra , give everything an intensity that , like previous almod\u00f3var films , has the feel of a douglas sirk film . almod\u00f3var has something of sirk ' s passionate empathy with women , mixed with a gay sensibility - though the film is unlike sirk ' s in that men are entirely marginal . in its vividness and intense , almost neurotic sensitivity to colour , particularly the colour red , it also looks like a hitchcock thriller .\nthe surprise appearance of carmen maura at the bad education screening during the 2004 cannes film festival led to rumours about a possible reunion between her and almod\u00f3var . fans were delighted to discover the rumours were indeed true . set in pedro almod\u00f3var\u2019s childhood home town of la mancha , volver focuses on two sisters , raimunda ( pen\u00e9lope cruz ) and sole ( lola due\u00f1as ) , attempting to deal with the family secrets surrounding the death of their parents three years earlier . things get complicated for each sister when sole discovers that the ghost of her mother irene ( maura ) has stowed away in the trunk of her car . meanwhile , raimunda and her daughter paula ( yohana cobo ) struggle to cover up the death of paula\u2019s father paco ( antonio de la torre ) , who attempted to molest her .\nthe opening dialogue tells us that women here\u2014in this village\u2014live longer than men . women are strong and noble , while husbands are sexually insatiable lechers who molest their own daughters . there are two of them , hence a pattern of \u201c volver \u2014return . \u201d the women dominate . they don\u2019t need men , who are , with the exception of the filmmaker , the artist , worthless . but women can be artists , too . at the center of this film , as in other almod\u00f3var films , there is a work of art : raimunda sings the title song . ( actually , she lip - syncs to the beautiful singing of flamenco star , estrella morente . ) the song tells of someone returning to a first love after a long time , just what this film is about : first love is mother love .\nalternatively , women can be not sexy but drab and gray and manless like agustina . either way , again and again in this film women provide food and caring . and in the final scene , we see irene nursing and nurturing the dying agustina . women mother , but they also live in the presence of death , as in the opening scene . women give life\u2014young paula\u2014but they also destroy life . they murder\u2014twice in this film . young paula , her mother , and her grandmother all participate in murder . and the deaths strengthen the bonds between the women who , after the men are gone and the secrets revealed , are now densely related as mother , daughter , sister , niece . this double value forms the core of volver as in almod\u00f3var\u2019s splashes of red , sometimes blood , sometimes just a lively color .\npedro almodovar \u2018s \u201c volver \u201d maintained a healthy percentage of its box office in its second weekend , according to a sony pictures classics estimate . the film made an estimated 172 , 340 on 5 screens , for a per screen average of 34 , 468 and an estimated total of 466 , 204 so far .

[ eugene hernandez ]\nvolver marks the sixth collaboration between iglesias and almodovar , and the more melodramatic air of almodovar \\ ' s new film seems to have given the composer room for a lighter touch than their last few efforts . it \\ ' s probably closer in sound to la flor de mi secreto - their first collaboration - more than any of the others .\nlas vecinas\njumps to life with jaunty string rhythms , pizzicati , and a revolving door of elegant solo instrumentation - including guitar , piano and violin . the vibrant\ntitulos\nadds to this engaging blend of voices brass , percussion and string support - the energetic orchestrations giving way to the composer \\ ' s elegant writing for clarinet , and a morose passage for a larger group of strings . there \\ ' s a theme presented here that recurs throughout the score , and sounds a little like gabriel yared \\ ' s unused\nparis and helen\nlove theme from troy , though i say that for sake of comparing it with something rather than suggesting an influence .\na high rating mostly for the way in which this plot manages to turn and return so seamlessly , covering all kinds of ground : abuse , poverty , murder , cancer , familial bonds , lies , secrets , love and more . as always , almodovar ' s characters are very rigid people , set in their ways and keeping their walls up , focused on one thing , and in volver , penelope cruz plays one of the most impenetrable characters i ' ve ever seen on film . she ' s so beautiful and she ' s struggling , so everyone would want to help her , but - without giving away too much of the plot ! - she has a secret that she must do everything to keep . a bit slow in the early going , but the intensity continues to rise until the film ' s conclusion , which if you ' re not careful , will make your head spin . for me it all started to sink in as the credits rolled , and i found myself nodding , slowly coming around , saying\nyes , that was a good ending\neach time i followed another thread to its end . a director whose work i will soon delve into deeply , no question . a very good film .\nalberto iglesias \\ ' s score should also be counted among those unluckily passed over by the arbiters of cinematic taste in los angeles . with a recent induction into the music branch following on the heels of his nomination for his score to the constant gardener , the spanish composer \\ ' s work appears to be highly esteemed by both critics and peers . indeed , volver was cited by hans zimmer , gabriel yared , howard shore and recent oscar winner gustavo santaolalla as a personal favourite among the scores of this year in a recent hollywood reporter\nfilm and tv music\nissue . and rightly so - for over the years iglesias has perfected an approach to scoring based on ( for the most part ) chamber ensembles specific to the ideas of each film . in both concept and composition , he has offered compelling solutions to the musical demands of films by carlos saura ( dispara ) , john malkovitch ( the dancer upstairs - one of the most underrated scores ever ) , and of course the films of his ongoing collaborators julio medem ( la ardilla roja - one of stanley kubrick \\ ' s favourite modern films ; lovers of the arctic circle and sex and lucia ) and almodovar , all of whose films since la flor de mi secreto have been scored by iglesias .\nto what extent is volver a portrait of pedro almod\u00f3var ? i became very fragile when i started doing the film , but it was not the type of fragility that makes you more vulnerable . let ' s say i became softer . there was a more rigid part of my life that , after this film , became a little more relaxed . it was a healthy process , although i don ' t do films to solve my problems . it ' s almost the opposite : i do films so that they can become something revulsive in my life . however , when i started shooting , i never imagined that those characters i knew from when i was a boy would actually appear to me when going back to the places of my childhood . i hardly ever go back to la mancha , but when i do , i feel like a little boy . there , i am not an internationally acclaimed director but the eight or ten year - old kid i was when i left the place , a kid who was very much disturbed by all the chaos there . when i wrote the script , i knew we would shoot in some places from my childhood , but i was hardly imagined that it would become such an emotional journey . this film brings back memories of my mother and father and exposes a fragility that i thought i had overcome . i am grateful for that .\npedro almod\u00f3var these days , spanish helmer pedro almod\u00f3var is one of the most respected filmmakers in the world , an oscar winner whose films have become cannes mainstays and who\u2019s capable of attracting almost any talent that he\u2019d like , despite having never made a film in the english language . but his global reputation is all the more remarkable considering just how challenging his fare can be . his violent , sexual taboo - pushing early work is the most obvious example , but throughout his career his interest in gay issues , sirk - ian melodrama , explicit sex and obsessive behavior has hardly been the kind of thing that usually makes the chattering classes line up around the block . but it\u2019s the quality of his work , the way that his films are weirder , sexier , wittier , more puzzling , more moving and richer than 95 % of the stuff that sees the inside of theaters , that\u2019s made him one of the most beloved filmmakers working . and there\u2019s barely a bad film in his canon , particularly in the extraordinary run of films since 1997\u2019s \u201c live flesh . \u201d and yet none have cracked sight & sound\u2019s list . while our own favorite of his , 2007\u2019s \u201c volver , \u201d is probably too new to judge whether it\u2019ll stand the test of time , some of his most acclaimed films like 1999\u2019s \u201c all about my mother \u201d and especially 2002\u2019s \u201c talk to her \u201d ( which time named among the top 100 movies of all time in 2005 ) , didn\u2019t make the crop either . are his films , like fassbinder , too vulgar , too sexual , and not serious enough for the critical establishment ?

justifiably , blame their employers and their editors , who demanded the usual round of quotes , mini - scoops and interviews . the reporters could argue that they were simply following a narrow interpretation of their professional obligations .\nwhen director alex gibney started working on his lance armstrong documentary in 2009 , the cyclist occupied a very different position in the pop - athletic landscape . but as the film approached completion , allegations against armstrong became a lot more credible , and in 2010 gibney scrapped a bunch of the movie and wound up with a very different film . what was going to be the road back is now the armstrong lie , and here ' s the movie ' s first trailer .\ni certainly was very confident that i would never be caught ,\narmstrong says in a clip . yeah , no kidding .\nstill , the armstrong lie feels more often like a possibility for the director to revive an abandoned passion project and try to turn it into something of a ( cosmetically more appealing ) frankenstein\u2019s monster , using interview and some impressive tour footage from the original film and some newly shot material to make what would finally turn out to be a quite absorbing but never riveting or revelatory overview of armstrong\u2019s career and testy personality .\narmstrong ' s drug use began in the\nmid - 90s\n, he said .\nthe problem with armstrong was the way he aggressively chased down and sued ( or threatened to sue ) people who may have flagged up any alternative to the armstrong - imposed narrative . there was plenty of evidence , but no one dared stand up to la armstrong , the ultimate diva of pro cycling .\nin 2009 alex gibney was hired to make a film about lance armstrong\u2019s comeback to cycling . the project was shelved when the doping scandal erupted , and re - opened after armstrong\u2019s confession .\nthe evidence that armstrong used epo in the 1999 race was overwhelming , the report said , adding , \u201cno other conclusion is even plausible . \u201d\nthe armstrong story is fascinating . that someone could get away with such a huge lie in plain sight is terrifying . it ' s a bit like the jimmy savile mess in the uk in that , to put it simply , people must have known ! and some brave people did know and try to talk about it , but if one thing came out of the armstrong debacle , it ' s the knowledge that telling the truth is one thing ; finding someone to listen to you is quite another .\nstill yet to get a release date in the u . s . , director stephen frears had made no bones admitting that he wasn\u2019t looking to tell lance armstrong\u2019s life story with the program , calling it instead a \u201ccrime story about a man who stole the tour de france seven times . \u201d in the meantime , alex gibney\u2019s 2013 documentary , the armstrong lie , offers an unprecedented look into the cyclist\u2019s fall from grace . originally titled the road back , the project began filming before the 2012 doping investigation and was meant to be a tale of a cycling great returning to the sport he loved . the ensuing scandal changed the plot significantly . the end of the doc even features a sit - down with armstrong done by gibney just hours after he recorded his infamous oprah interview .\nwhen o\u2019reilly , the masseuse , asked armstrong how he would optimize his performance , the report said that he responded , \u201cwhat everybody does . \u201d o\u2019reilly understood this to mean armstrong would use epo , the report said .\n9 . returning to the scene of the crime . the film makes a clear case that armstrong would have gotten away with it all if he hadn\u2019t returned to the tour in 2009 . why armstrong made that decision is film\u2019s most intriguing question .\n6 . don\u2019t ever , ever think about crossing lance . . . armstrong is an expert at discounting anyone who tries to speak out against him ; in many ways , the war against his detractors was worse than the doping itself . the film highlights the guts of longtime friend betsy andreu , the wife of a former armstrong teammate , who was the one of the first people to say armstrong used performance - enhancing drugs .\naccording to the report , armstrong told o\u2019reilly , the masseuse , \u201cnow , emma , you know enough to bring me down . \u201d\nwhile armstrong has long protested his innocence , retroactive testing found epo in six of armstrong\u2019s urine samples from the 1999 race , according to the report . in addition , the report said , five fellow riders on armstrong\u2019s 1999 united states postal service team \u2014 george hincapie , frankie andreu , tyler hamilton , jonathan vaughters and christian vande velde \u2014 provided affidavits testifying to firsthand knowledge that armstrong violated antidoping rules , the report said .\nthe story of disgraced cyclist lance armstrong gets exhaustive and penetrating documentary treatment in alex gibney ' s latest .\narmstrong ' s defence long relied on the fact he had never tested positive - a stance he maintains .\nnormally when i leave the cinema what i want is a pizza . or maybe , if it is a particularly draining comedy involving robert de niro and sylvester stallone , a stiff drink . after watching alex gibney\u2019s brilliant new documentary the armstrong lie , however , i felt in urgent need of something i had never before associated with the movies : a shower . knowing what we know now , watching lance armstrong in all his calculating , self - righteous mendacity up on the big screen is an experience that puts you in urgent search of the soap .\nthe result is a film that neatly counterbalances the reality we now know with the fantasy the rider steadfastly maintained . at the heart of the complex , sophisticated lie armstrong constructed was his own ability to fib to camera . time and again during that 2009 tour he looks into gibney\u2019s lens and tells him he has never , will never and could never embrace performance - enhancing assistance . at the time , gibney says , he believed him : he certainly saw no evidence during that tour to suggest anything else . to watch now , knowing what we do , armstrong\u2019s lying is breathtaking in its scale , its skill , its audacity .\narmstrong also used testosterone , which builds muscle and aids recovery from exertion , during the 1999 tour , the report said . he mixed it with olive oil in a concoction that was taken orally . after one stage , the report said , armstrong squirted the \u201coil\u201d in hamilton\u2019s mouth .\nhe said he would have called his family , mother , sponsors and the lance armstrong foundation ( livestrong ) .\nthe real losers in this game are the clean riders and the writers who contradict the mood of the moment , those who spoke out against doping at the time . there is a market for the truth but it is a very fickle one . we\u2019ve all got some thinking to do about the rise and fall of lance armstrong .\nat this point , however , the armstrong story becomes more uncomfortable : because the editors , of course , were trying to anticipate and satiate the appetites of their readers . in the great journalistic trade - off , the very beginning of the story , the first domino , is the public\u2019s credulous demand for meaningless quotes and soft interviews .\naccording to a doping investigation , armstrong cursed and said , \u201cthat\u2019s not good . \u201d\nan irish sports journalist becomes convinced that lance armstrong ' s performances during the tour de france victories are fueled by banned substances . with this conviction , he starts hunting for evidence that will expose armstrong .\nin 2009 alex gibney was hired to make a film about lance armstrong ' s comeback to cycling . the project was shelved when the doping scandal erupted , and re - opened after armstrong ' s confession . ( c ) sony classics\nlance armstrong , left to right , with frankie andreu , george hincapie and pascal derame after winning the 1999 tour .\neven if you dislike sport , hate celebrity confessions and distrust oprah winfrey , you should follow the story of lance armstrong . it is a morality tale of huge implications . beneath the surface , armstrong\u2019s story is about the power of celebrity and the complicity of the media . it is a depressing tale but a deeply salutary one .\nbecause security was tight , the epo was smuggled to the postal service team by a personal assistant and handyman for armstrong , the report said . he was a motorcycle enthusiast who followed the tour on his motorcycle , and the riders who knew his purpose gave him the nickname motoman .\nand gibney knows what he is talking about . he experienced the armstrong fibbing technique at first hand , witnessed it at close quarters as it poured down his lens . indeed , the lie came close to undermining his entire credibility as a documentary maker . back in 2009 , he had been invited by armstrong to film the inside story of his comeback to the tour de france . after the most fleeting of retirements , the seven -

operation , of the cycling authorities . consider the role of the mainstream media in the great armstrong deception . most cycling journalists knew it was highly unlikely that armstrong could have raced at that level without drugs . not only did the vast majority remain silent , they actively froze out the few writers \u2013 such as david walsh and paul kimmage \u2013 who were brave enough to fight the armstrong conspiracy . cyclists were brutal in cutting down whistle -

the - odds inspirationalism that has generally accompanied its telling . \u201cthis is not a story about doping ; it\u2019s a story about power , \u201d one interviewee shrewdly notes , and \u201c the armstrong lie \u201d zeroes in on the cynical realities of a sport where victory falls to those with the best medical and financial resources , and where the lure of sponsorships , massive publicity and millions of dollars in cancer - fighting research can encourage even the head of the intl . cycling union to look the other way . the film also taps into the warped mentality of a professional sport where everyone of consequence is assumed to be doping under a code of collective silence , making it easy enough for a cheater to convince himself he isn\u2019t gaining an unfair advantage so much as staying competitive .\na quite absorbing but never riveting or revelatory overview of armstrong\u2019s career and testy personality . twitter\na documentary chronicling sports legend lance armstrong ' s improbable rise and ultimate fall from grace .\n3 . alberto contador is a badass . gibney includes captivating footage of armstrong\u2019s feud with teammate alberto contador , who raced alongside the texan in 2009 and didn\u2019t let him win that year\u2019s tour . instead , contador took home the win and armstrong finished third .\nstephen frears ' cautious study of lance armstrong ' s fall from grace doesn ' t crack the cyclist ' s implacable veneer .\nthe latest documentary from oscar winner alex gibney looks at lance armstrong ' s comeback attempt in 2009 and the subsequent discovery of his use of performance -

and - fall narratives in recent years gets exhaustive and penetrating documentary treatment in \u201c the armstrong lie . \u201d focusing primarily on the past four years of lance armstrong \u2019s life \u2014 from his 2009 post - retirement comeback bid to his recent admission that he had used performance - enhancing drugs , despite vehement denials over the course of his extraordinary career \u2014 director alex gibney delivers not just a detailed , full - access account of his subject , in all his defiance , hubris and tentative self - reckoning , but also a layered inquiry into the culture of competitiveness , celebrity , moral relativism and hypocrisy that helped enable and sustain his deception . although unlikely to match the tv audience for armstrong\u2019s revelatory interview with oprah winfrey in january , this authoritative and well - timed sony classics release should easily become one of gibney\u2019s more widely seen efforts .\narmstrong denied usada chief executive travis tygart ' s claims that the united states postal service team ' s doping programme was the leading one of its kind , believing the east german regime to be ' better ' .\na new team director , johan bruyneel , and team doctor , luis garcia del moral , were hired that year for the postal service team . armstrong called the team the bad news bears . he wanted a new team , according to the affidavit by vaughters , his teammate , because the outgoing doctor , pedro celaya , \u201chad not been aggressive enough for armstrong in providing banned products . \u201d\ni suppose earlier in my career there was cortisone and then the epo generation began ,\nsaid armstrong , who won the world road race title aged 21 in 1993 .\nlinks / site map / privacy policy / photo credits / \u00a9 luxstowe vets . website by hudson armstrong\nthat may have been the most famous of his lies , but it was hardly the first . clinton was well known as a liar \u2014 an \u201cunusually good\u201d one , according to bob kerrey , the former senator \u2014 long before he ever reached the white house . as early as 1992 , the question posed by his candidacy , as defined by michael kinsley , was not is he a liar , \u2018\u2018but is he too much of a liar ? \u201d by the end the lies and abuses of power had piled up so high that christopher hitchens was forced to title his scathing account of the clinton presidency no one left to lie to .\na public weigh - in of the riders was to be attended by the news media . a team masseuse found some makeup , and armstrong\u2019s bruise , and the doping that investigators assert caused it , was ultimately concealed .\njust before the 1999 tour de france , a teammate pointed out that lance armstrong had a bruise on his upper arm caused by a syringe .\nthe point of making a drama about armstrong would be , you assume , to do the things non - fiction cannot . but the creative effort of the program appears to have been expended on replicating material that already exists . the director stephen frears has so lovingly recreated the world of the tour , with his sweeping views of bikes swishing past the arc de triomphe and labouring up mont ventoux , that his footage could easily be mistaken for the genuine article .\ngibney became involved when armstrong defiantly decided to have another crack at the tour de france in 2009 , submitting to the fierce anti - doping inspections and achieving a very creditable third place .\nindeed , this is the ultimate point of the film . the cyclist wanted to use gibney to seal his place in sporting legend . by deconstructing his deception , gibney has done just that . after watching the film you realise what the true lance armstrong legacy entails : he has tarnished the relationship between every sports star and their plausibility beyond repair .\ncycle of falsehood \u2026 the tissue of lies surrounding disgraced cyclist lance armstrong did film - maker alex gibney no favours . photograph : olivier hoslet / epa\nasked whether he felt it was possible to win the tour seven times in succession without doping , armstrong said :\nnot in my opinion .\none of gibney\u2019s key questions - - why stage a comeback that would prove fatal and , in the long run , reveal and ruin everything ? - - is never forcefully addressed and there\u2019s no satisfactory , in - depth answer that explains why armstrong chose to use the performance - enhancing drugs and lie about it until very recently , when federal investigations were underway ( they ' ve since been halted ) . the filmmaker does hint at the possibility that armstrong - - who continues to claim he was \u201cclean\u201d during the 2009 tour ( in which he placed third ) and its disastrous 2010 follow - up ( 23rd place ) - - is trying to influence his own narrative even in front of oprah and gibney\u2019s cameras . it can ' t be a good sign if your subject seems to have the last word .\nthe 1999 racing season began , the report said , with an unlikely goal for armstrong , a cancer survivor : to win the tour de france . he would skip many of the buildup races to concentrate on his sport\u2019s major event . and for fuel , the report said , he would rely on banned substances .\nthe tale behind armstrong\u2019s first tour triumph , an achievement that made him an instant celebrity , is laid out in the investigative report in almost novelistic fashion . it involves a man on a motorcycle who delivered drugs to armstrong\u2019s team , an italian doctor who was famous for helping riders dope , a training regimen designed to avoid drug testing , and the active complicity of the team masseuse .\nbecause armstrong did not have medical authorization to use corticosteroids , the report said , a story was fabricated to backdate a prescription for cortisone cream and claim that the medication had been prescribed to treat a saddle sore , the report said .\nthe question of what armstrong isn\u2019t is more easily answered here than that of what , or who , he is . drawn principally from walsh\u2019s book \u201cseven deadly sins : my pursuit of lance armstrong , \u201d hodge\u2019s script largely avoids speculative drama , veering tactfully away from its subject\u2019s personal and domestic lives . armstrong\u2019s former wife , kristin richard , first appears in a snappy meet - cute ; they\u2019re married in the next scene , whereupon she exits the film entirely .\non june 10 , 1999 , less than a month before the tour began , armstrong\u2019s hematocrit level \u2014 the percentage by volume of oxygen - carrying red blood cells in whole blood \u2014 hovered at 41 percent , below the allowable race limit of 50 percent , the report said .\nthe film is a lesson in the perils of getting caught in the middle of a story \u2013 and creating and believing in a\nstory\nin the first place . armstrong was spinning us a simple tale of innocence . gibney was preparing to spin something more complicated . the spokes got tangled up . gibney extricates himself from the wreckage , but only just .\narmstrong ' s decisions were based on a\nruthless desire to win\nand , he said , did not feel wrong to him at the time .\nafter relinquishing the yellow jersey , armstrong reclaimed first place in a time trial , then rode to a dominant mountaintop finish in sestriere , the italian ski village . he was not then known as a great climber , and christophe bassons , a french rider , noted in a newspaper column that the peloton had been \u201cshocked\u201d by armstrong\u2019s ride up to sestriere .\nthe housewives go to cannes but , unsurprisingly , drama follows them across the ocean .\nthe documentary includes footage from larry king live , the daily show and the south park episode\na scause for applause\n.\nthe three riders would \u201cinject quickly and then put the syringes in a bag or coke can and dr . del moral would get the syringe out of the camper as quickly as possible , \u201d the report said .\ni didn ' t invent the culture , but i didn ' t try to stop the culture . the sport is now paying the price because of that .\nthe 1999 tour was supposed to be one of renewal after a doping scandal engulfed the 1998 race . instead , armstrong won his first of his seven tours by using the prohibited blood - boosting agent epo and the steroid hormone testosterone , according to a 200 - page report released wednesday by the united states anti - doping agency .\nalex gibney was obliged to reshape his portrait of lance armstrong in response to the cyclist ' s drug disgrace . he salvaged a watchable film \u2013 but only just\nit is an indictment of so - called expertise . the writers who were supposed to know more about cycling than anyone else in the world were unable to write what they must have known to be the truth . was doping really that obvious , even back then ? yes . even if journalists ignored the persistent rumours and armstrong\u2019s association with dr michele ferrari , a master of doping , simple maths should have been enough . the 1998 tour de france was a drug - fuelled shambles in which the leading team got busted for epic substance abuse . the 1999 tour , the first \u201carmstrong\u201d tour , was billed as the \u201crenewal tour\u201d , a clean season free from doping , a fresh start . yet armstrong was soon clocking speeds that were simply unheard of .\nasked about the 2001 tour of switzerland and reports he paid off the uci to cover up a positive test , armstrong said :\nthat story isn ' t true . there was no positive test . there was no paying off of the lab .\nworking at a businesslike pace , hodge and frears glide through armstrong\u2019s early rise through the ranks of the circuit , identifying the many key players with talking - head - style subtitles . his 1996 testicular cancer diagnosis disrupts proceedings in as transient a fashion as it seemingly did armstrong\u2019s own life , as foster\u2019s already remote take on the character recedes into a brittle , intriguingly self - styled facade : \u201cyou meet yourself along the way , \u201d he says of the cancer battle , though he appears to estrange himself from others in the process . he\u2019s no patsy , though the film does position armstrong as a kind of inhuman test subject \u2014 \u201cno longer confined to physiology\u201d \u2014 for michele ferrari ( played with slithery elan by guillaume canet ) , the italian physician and coach who designed the doping program undertaken by the u . s . postal service team .\nthis documentary follows cyclist lance armstrong from his 2009 comeback effort through his shocking 2012 confession of performance - enhancing drug use .\nhow exactly had gibney imagined his film working out initially ? he may well have thought that , as the armstrong story was effectively over , with no more surprises to come , he was free to make a subtly neutral film , which wouldn ' t need to question armstrong directly about drugs . despite gibney ' s rueful admission that he ' d found himself rooting for armstrong , i wonder if , in his heart of hearts , he might have been counting on armstrong to do heartbreakingly badly , having been forced to race clean ( apparently ) ; secretly hoping that this would tell its own story about the earlier wins , thus making the filmed record a poignant piece of bittersweet natural justice . but of course , armstrong was up to all the old sophisticated tricks in 2009 , and his smugly successful comeback was what finally brought out the whistleblowers .\nindeed , sportsman he may be , but gibney feels armstrong fits neatly into the pattern of his documentary subjects . from enron to assange , what fascinates him is power .\nthis is far from being armstrong ' s movie debut . that came in 2004 , with his cameo in the comedy dodgeball , in which vince vaughn plays an idle gym owner managing a dodgeball team of lovable underdogs . just as vaughn is about to quit on his loyal band , he encounters armstrong , who shames him into staying the course . it is worth remembering just how embedded in us pop culture armstrong had become \u2013 in this case , a comically obvious symbol of honesty and courage . ( gibney doesn ' t mention the dodgeball cameo , but shows satirist jon stewart admitting to being taken in by armstrong ' s lies . )\nusing the winfrey interview to set the stage , gibney pulls back to recount armstrong\u2019s astounding story , from the testicular cancer that left him with a less - than - 50 % chance of survival in 1996 , to the seven consecutive tour de france victories ( 1999 - 2005 ) that cemented his standing as one of the world\u2019s greatest athletes . one of the key ironies here is that armstrong\u2019s secret might never have been publicly exposed had he been content to stay retired : it was his second grab at the spotlight that re - energized his critics and angered the numerous cyclists who had themselves been busted for doping , many of them former teammates who had firsthand knowledge of armstrong\u2019s own use of epo , testosterone , human growth hormone , cortisone and blood transfusions to boost his performance over the years .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\narmstrong\u2019s confession is just the latest and most high - profile in a line of confessions of convenience . tyler hamilton , armstrong\u2019s former team - mate and ex - doper , won last year\u2019s william hill sports book award for his ghosted autobiography . it was a deeply seductive book and hamilton enjoyed a wonderful round of sympathetic interviews for his book tour . it was hard to open a newspaper without reading a quote from hamilton : \u201clance should tell the truth\u201d , \u201cthe truth really will set you free\u201d , \u201ca weight off my shoulders\u201d . the only way to get a better press than promoting lance armstrong before the fall was to dish the dirt on him after his disgrace .\ngibney calls armstrong a master storyteller , a constructor of his own narrative . his was , moreover , a hugely lucrative yarn .\narmstrong took a brown paper bag from marti , held it up and , according to andreu , called it \u201cliquid gold . \u201d\nalex gibney offers a thorough account of lance armstrong\u2019s long brewing scandal \u2013 and the corrosive power of win - at - all - costs ambition . here are his film\u2019s juiciest moments\nfor gibney , the unmasking of armstrong made him instantly a more fascinating subject for a documentary . he is , he reckons , on a par with the australian with whom he spectacularly fell out during filming of his acclaimed documentary we steal secrets : the story of wikileaks .\nthe tale is fascinating , not just for cycling enthusiasts , but connoisseurs of the human condition .\n7 . . . . because you don\u2019t bring a knife to a gun fight . gibney points out that the tour de france presents such an absurd challenge to the human body that the concept of pain reduction , recovery and chemical enhancement is as old as the race itself , dating to the days when riders cured their wounds after each stage at the local bar . in the film , armstrong uses a similar everyone - was - doing - it defense to explain how the doping began \u2013 and why he didn\u2019t stop .\nin the interview with talk - show host winfrey , recorded on monday in his home city of austin , texas , armstrong was asked why he chose to confess his misdemeanours now .\nindeed , gibney ' s film shows that armstrong was part of a much bigger hypocrisy . the use of the banned red blood cell booster epo was not just widespread ; it was almost universal . epo remained undetectable for years , and armstrong , many of his teammates as well as his opponents pumped their blood full of it , and enjoyed the occasional blood transfusion , also banned . the film implies that it would be hard to find anyone who was actually clean in the 1990 - 2005 period . so no one can actually point the finger too much .\nrather , \u201cthe program\u201d frames its narrative as something akin to a criminal chase , with walsh \u2014 an early skeptic regarding armstrong\u2019s winning prowess \u2014 as the dogged investigator and audience proxy , and armstrong as his elusive quarry . on these terms , it makes sense to seal off the latter\u2019s inner life , though imagined emotional access is what might have separated the film from previous reportage on the subject ; for better or worse , we\u2019re left to ponder what , if any , degree of psychological strain or moral conflict the champion felt over his infamously concealed doping habit .\nin 2009 director alex gibney set out to film the road back , a documentary on cyclist lance armstrong ' s comeback year after a four - year retirement from the sport . three years later , on october 2012 , a doping investigation led to his lifetime ban from competition and the stripping of his seven tour de france titles , and the documentary was shelved . on january 14 , 2013 , three hours after his appearance on oprah , armstrong went back to gibney to set the record straight about his career .\nthe golden years , during which the recovered armstrong racked up seven tour titles and attained a - list celebrity status , are briskly covered . editor valerio bonelli\u2019s multiple montages approximate the superficiality of sporting sizzle reels , perhaps reflecting the slick ease with which armstrong\u2019s camp sold the world on a tale that was , for all the man\u2019s natural prowess , a shade too good to be true . ( \u201cgo out there and live the best life story you can , \u201d he says , and it\u2019d be hard to argue that he didn\u2019t . ) \u201cthe program\u201d doesn\u2019t pass judgment on the misdeeds portrayed as explicitly as gibney did in his documentary , even via the character of walsh : as played by a typically disarming if oddly cast o\u2019dowd , the irish journo appears to chase personal vindication as eagerly as he does ethical reform .\nthe film does an effective job of repackaging the armstrong brand in its opening reel . danny cohen\u2019s camera indulges in the impatient , zooming moves and aggressive angles becoming of a brash young athlete ; combined with a hot primary palette , the images recall nothing so seductive and deceptive as an energy - drink commercial . foster gets the sarsaparilla slide of armstrong\u2019s texan accent just right as he\u2019s introduced speaking in ready - made slogans : \u201cmy mom didn\u2019t raise a quitter , \u201d he tells sunday times sportswriter david walsh ( chris o\u2019dowd ) where the film begins , at the time of his first tour de france in 1993 .\narmstrong retired after his 2005 tour win and believed his doping may never have been uncovered had he not made a comeback in 2009 .\n, cycling\u2019s governing board . armstrong says there were \u201chundreds\u201d of conversations with uci officials where he was warned his drug tests were \u201cflying too close to the sun . \u201d the film also implies there was a conspiracy involving uci head hein verbruggen that was designed to protect the famous racer .\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\nanother key figure granted significant screentime here is michele ferrari , the italian sports doctor whose obsession with pushing the human body to and beyond its physical limits led him to devise the most advanced and sophisticated performance - enhancing drugs available , using armstrong as guinea pig and the tour de france as a regular testing ground . one of the most essential aspects of gibney\u2019s film \u2014 and what distinguishes it from the average primetime interview \u2014 is the scientific acuity of his research , explaining how epo increases endurance by stimulating red - blood cell production , an effect that can also be achieved through the more grisly route of a blood transfusion ( which armstrong and ferrari also experimented with ) .\nso why did the press , with a few honourable exceptions , show so little appetite for the truth ? because they craved access to the stars , especially armstrong . they relied on quotes from lance , a few scraps of celebrity gossip to pepper their copy with , perhaps a sit - down with the great man . and armstrong , like a brutal political spin doctor , was utterly ruthless about dividing the world into two camps \u2013 with me or against me , friend or enemy , soft touch or ( in lancespeak ) \u201ctroll\u201d . some of david walsh\u2019s oldest friends in journalism eventually refused to share a car with him because armstrong made a note of who travelled with the \u201ctroll\u201d and cut them off accordingly .\nthe armstrong narrative arc runs absolutely counter to the standard trope of the sports movie . as brilliantly sent up by the comic adam riches in his recent edinburgh festival show coach coach , the convention is for the film\u2019s hero to work himself into a position where redemption is at stake in a climactic moment of sporting jeopardy . score this goal , slam that dunk , hit your home run and all will be resolved , all will be well .\nwhen armstrong failed to mark his return with anything more than third place , however , gibney\u2019s original documentary was quietly forgotten about . given the subsequent revelations about doping , bullying and lying , the tsunami of evidence that led ultimately to the confession armstrong made to oprah winfrey that he used chemical assistance to achieve all seven of his tour wins , that he was the mastermind of systematic drug - cheating in his sport on an industrial scale , gibney shudders when he thinks of the effect a supportive film would have wrought on his credibility .\nasked if it was hard to live up to that image , armstrong said :\nimpossible . the story is so bad and so toxic , a lot of it ' s true .\nthose who eventually testified against armstrong ( and are interviewed here ) include george hincapie , his best friend and regular cycling domestique , and frankie andreu , who along with his wife , betsy , said they overheard armstrong disclose his use of performance - enhancing drugs to cancer doctors in 1996 , a claim he still denies . apart from author dan coyle , who offers withering assessments of armstrong\u2019s legacy , betsy andreu emerges as the film\u2019s most forceful and outspoken presence , leading the charge against the most famous figure in a sport whose reputation and other participants were irreversibly damaged by his actions .\na fine actor ben foster may be , but he\u2019s no helen mirren , and \u201cthe program\u201d doesn\u2019t cede itself to him in the same way ; his armstrong , projecting a surface as glib and hard and wipe - clean as that of the man himself , can be a difficult figure to see even when he\u2019s in the foreground . ( in one moment of metatextual playfulness , a glory - era armstrong is asked to comment on the potential casting of matt damon in his biopic . it\u2019s a sly allusion to just how far the cyclist\u2019s public image has shifted over the years \u2014 damon is hardly an actor called to mind by foster\u2019s wily translucency . )\nthis slightly disjointed aspect of the production makes certain individual scenes and moments stand out , yet they never quite come together . the lack of catharsis allows the viewer enough leeway to judge armstrong for themselves , and that particular aspect of gibney ' s film is much more fascinating than the\narrogant - pillock - dopes - and - lies\nstory .\na further irony awaits . many of those who inflated the armstrong bubble will now capitalise on his confession . as i write this , armstrong is due to appear on us television in an interview with oprah winfrey , in which he would offer a carefully calibrated confession \u2013 just enough to hint at the truth , not so much that he faces ruinous legal challenges and a trial for perjury .\nin may 1999 , emma o\u2019reilly , the team masseuse , made an 18 - hour round - trip drive from nice to spain to deliver a bottle of pills to armstrong that , according to the report , \u201cshe understood to be banned drugs . \u201d\nthe film falls roughly into two halves , with the first hour providing the backstory on armstrong\u2019s career , with talking heads ( armstrong , ex - colleagues such as frankie andreu and george hincapie and bicycling experts ) and archive footage painting a picture of the cyclist as a head - strong and controlling leader who was just as much a fanatic on his bike as he was off it ( \u201ci was a bully , \u201d he would later say to oprah ) . after surviving cancer , he seems to have taken to heart the idea that \u201closing equals death . \u201d\ni think it ' s probably the most honest armstrong has been . a hugely informative and amazingly unbelievable documentary that just astounds me as to how he manage to get away with it for so long .\nif anyone dared question him , the film shows , armstrong retaliated with almost biblical fury . armstrong personally went after anyone who even insinuated that something fishy might have been going on . he was a scary , intimidating , and cold man . his story is not a tragedy in the classical sense . it ' s a cautionary tale with a very simple and obvious message : don ' t be an sob ."]}

class in a small town . i have all my same friends from high school . i\u2019m close with my family . i\u2019m dating a normal girl . so i want to feel people think i\u2019m a man of the people . because i feel that way . \u201d\nconclusion : perry\u2019s had more flops than david schwimmer and matt leblanc , but he\u2019s still the most famous male\nfriend .\nof course , fame without acclaim is usually a recipe for disaster , but in perry\u2019s defense , his performances in all three post - \u201cfriends\u201d series were well - received , even if the shows ultimately tanked . the surest sign of perry\u2019s continued relevance is that studio executives are still willing to bet on him , as with the forthcoming \u201codd couple\u201d reboot . and a hit could always be just around the corner . in the immortal words of chandler bing , could matthew perry be any more hopeful ?\nisn\u2019t it traumatic to relive these experiences on camera ? \u201cit\u2019ll definitely impact on me for the rest of my life for sure , \u201d teller replies . \u201ci\u2019ve dealt with that shit . if i\u2019m in a movie and the guy\u2019s dealing with the death of his buddy when they were overseas at war , or i\u2019m dealing with a guy now who lost 19 of his friends all at once in this firefighter movie , it does give you a certain level of truth that , if you hadn\u2019t gone through it , you would have to imagine what it would be like . but obviously if you went through it , you are closer to it than somebody who hasn\u2019t . \u201d\nsteven allan spielberg is an american filmmaker . spielberg is consistently considered as one of the leading pioneers of the new hollywood era , as well as being viewed as one of the most popular and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema . in a career spanning more than four decades , spielberg ' s films have covered many themes and genres . spielberg ' s early science -

researched and tightly argued book , which marshals quite an impressive amount of sources and deploys an engaging narrative to support a thesis which should be of interest to historians and philosophers of science alike . \u201d\u00ad\u2014miguel de as\u00faa , universidad nacional de san mart\u00edn\n\u201cfrom man to ape is first and foremost a fascinating read and a mine of details about the history of argentina and the development of scientific ( and scientistic ) thinking there , but it is also much more . it tracks the reception of darwinian theory in an area \u2018peripheral\u2019 to western europe , and in so doing gives us in essence a darwinian history of darwinism , demonstrating how the tropes and representations that are the idioms of scientific knowledge were molded to the particular circumstances of argentina and the cultural contingencies of a young society on the receiving end of modern science . it also outlines more broadly and suggestively the relationship of biology to politics in the latin american societies of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries , where nation building was so closely tied up with questions of race , ethnicity , and modernization . \u201d\nupon its publication , the origin of species was critically embraced in europe and north america . but how did darwin\u2019s theories fare in other regions of the world ? adriana novoa and alex levine offer here a history and interpretation of the reception of darwinism in argentina , illuminating the ways culture shapes scientific enterprise . in order to explore how argentina\u2019s particular interests , ambitions , political anxieties , and prejudices shaped scientific research , from man to ape focuses on darwin\u2019s use of analogies . both analogy and metaphor are culturally situated , and by studying scientific activity at europe\u2019s geographical and cultural periphery , novoa and levine show that familiar analogies assume unfamiliar and sometimes startling guises in argentina . the transformation of these analogies in the argentine context led science\u2014as well as the interaction between science , popular culture , and public policy\u2014in surprising directions . in diverging from european models , argentine darwinism reveals a great deal about both darwinism and science in general . novel in its approach and its subject , from man to ape reveals a new way of understanding latin american science and its impact on the scientific communities of europe and north america .\nas an high ranked b -

( arth is also a better movie in every aspect of its execution by a long way , so the comparison is not entirely rigorous . ) in arth , shabana azmi ' s character choose not to return to her husband and her old life , after learning to her surprise that she could provide for herself and live fulfilled and contented without a husband . in yeh nazdeekiyan , shobhana learns these things too , launching a successful music career after she leaves sunil . but she still elects to take him back when he asks her to .\nthat is not an entirely unfeminist ending ; shobhana makes the choice freely , without loss of agency , and there is nothing to suggest her career will not continue once the marriage is repaired . so perhaps yeh nazdeekiyan escapes the reset - button criticism that has been leveled at another self - discovery story , english vinglish , in which sridevi ' s character ' s self - actualization comes to an end upon her cheerful return to an apparently unaltered version of her previous life . the difference there is that while sridevi ' s character learns a lot about herself during the movie , her husband does not ; there is no parallel narrative for him . in yeh nazdeekiyan , to its credit , sunil learns lessons of his own . he starts the movie with an acknowledged roving eye , and ends with a greater understanding of the precious and unique relationship he has with shobhana . ironically , the most feminist aspect of yeh nazdeeekiyan may be wrapped up in this point : the defeat of patriarchal oppression requires not only the awakening of women , but the profound changing of men .\nshabana plays her role with cool and casual professionalism but to little avail . nazdeekiyan remains a cheap imitation of an ' art ' film which is as subtle as a sledge - hammer with the emotional depth of a soft drink commercial .\nyeh nazdeekiyan is a cliche trapped within a cliche , and the worst part is that it makes no effort to escape its predicament . its theme is the hackneyed love triangle ( husband - wife - mistress ) treated with a banality so severe that if there was a law against gross insensitivity , producer - director vinod pande would have been prosecuted . this is a pity because the story is simple and has potential for making a finely textured film about the tensions of love and marriage .\nbut despite shabana ji ' s best efforts at a delicate touch , too much of yeh nazdeekiyan is ham - fisted , like those cringey sex scenes , or marc zuber ' s allegedly charming flirtations which ring stiff and false in both scripting and performance . and too much of it is rambly and simply not well - crafted enough for all its earnest ideas and its one good performance to hold the day . it means well , but makes the worst misstep a movie can make : it is boring .\nwas looking around for a synopsis of yeh nazdeekiyan and stumbled across your blog . thanks for writing this . always fascinated by shabana ' s acting and it was lovely to see her be the strong , silent woman unlike the crying woman aka arth . sad to see marc zuber cast as the sap but then he was stereotyped , handsome bloke though he was . thanks for the plot summary ! though i can ' t quite get over the ecstasy on shabana ' s face when the sappy wimp came crying into her arms ! !\nyeh nazdeekiyan is not a very well known movie , which you can judge even from the fact i failed to look up a single decent sized poster for it . everything else that came up were photos of parveen babi running on the beach in a bikini and a bottle of coca cola in her hand , which i can imagine is the only truly memorable moment . it is one of those movies that just happened to get in my way and since i can never say no to shabana azmi i decided to give it a shot .\nyeh nazdeekiyan is a film which deals with adultery . sunil verma ( marc zuber ) is the head of an advertising agency and is married to shobhana ( shabana ) . sunil , as his profession demands , gets to interact with many beautiful models but he always keeps a professional relationship with them . but the entry of kiran ( parveen ) changes everything . he gets attracted to her and also gets into a physical relationship . his wife comes to know and decides to live separately . sunil is initially happy with kiran but then realises his mistake and eventually returns to his wife shobhana .\ni have watched quite a few rotten movies out of love for shabana azmi . i did not enjoy the dour , crotchety avtaar , which tries to send a message about respecting one ' s elders , and winds up just shaking its fist at kids today , those selfish , unfeeling jerks . nor do i have much nice to say about the amateurish morning raga , which looks as if someone filmed shabana ji giving a master class to a bunch of undertalented young actors . so yeh nazdeekiyan is far from the worst film i have ever watched for the sake of shabana - pyaar - that dubious distinction goes to the truly execrable son of pink panther , with gaja gamini snagging honorable mention - but it is not much better than avtaar or morning raga .\nyeh nazdeekiyan gets legitimate points for boldness - not the superficial boldness of its clutchy , gaspy sex scenes between parveen babi and marc zuber , but the more substantive boldness of a consensual open marriage , an idea that makes many people squirm even today , in east and west alike . and of course shabana azmi is perfect in it , in her familiar avatar of the wronged wife who discovers a self - actualized identity in the shards of a broken marriage . this is the kind of role that aparna sen said she could not give to shabana ji , lest the casting spoil the story - because everyone knows how the arcs of such characters go when played by shabana azmi . but her performance is satisfying to watch all the same , understated , poised yet emotional . it is a comfortable space for both shabana ji and her fans , shabana azmi comfort food .\nbut sunil ' s heart does soon stray toward one of his dalliances , or at least he thinks it does , for a while . the woman is kiran ( parveen babi ) , a sriracha - hot model whom sunil is shooting for one of his commercials . when they meet , kiran ' s friends dare her to make a pass at sunil . but he is cold to her advances , and the snub drives kiran to an obsession with winning his attention . in other words , kiran falls for sunil only because he shows no interest in her at all . this is an ugh - worthy way to write a female character and a romance . i have to acknowledge , though , that it is not entirely unrealistic - this sort of thing does happen . and so i cannot accuse yeh nazdeekiyan of lazy scriptwriting on this score , just unappealing scriptwriting .\nin some fifty shabana azmi movies i ' ve watched , i haven ' t come across anything else as ? demanding as ishk ishk ishk , gaja gamini , or the execrable son of the pink panther . but a career ? that spans over a hundred films has its share of worse\u00adthan\u00adaverage fare . i ' ve tucked in to shabana ? azmi comfort food even in ordinary movies like the plodding yeh nazdeekiyan , where , opposite ? the utterly charmless marc zuber , she plays a type so common in her repertoire : the wronged wife , ? discovering her own agency in the ruins of a broken marriage . i ' ve gritted my teeth through the ? cloying earnestness of films like in custody and morning raga ; the latter is populated with ? ? wooden actors so far outclassed that it feels like shabana azmi giving a master class for a bunch ? ? of amateurs . and , i ' ve enjoyed her youthful turns in fun masala films like amar akbar anthony ? and parvarish .\na high - flying ad executive , marc zuber , who with his compatible wife ( shabana azmi ) , and lovable daughter in boarding school , leads a happy upper - middle class life till he sees through his director ' s eyeglass the lissome body of model parveen babi , during an outdoor shooting session for a commercial . he is suddenly aroused by an animal heat which leads him to make love to babi on the living room floor , then the beach and on subsequent occasions in some other exotic places .\nthe affair blossoms in spite of an abortive attempt by zuber to break the relationship , where babi behaves like a child about to lose her favourite toy . meanwhile , the orgasmic pleasures of the couple are accompanied by the hackneyed symbolisms of thunderstorms and breaking waves .\nshifting scene : the devoted wife continues to wait till midnight for her wayward husband to return . soon she surmises that the look of pained constipation on her husband ' s face is not a medical problem and makes a vain attempt to revive her marriage by taking a holiday to the same place as their courting days .\ninevitably a distraught babi barges in to disrupt things , which eventually leads to zuber ' s confession and a dignified departure by his wife . she shuns his offer for financial support and successfully revives her career as a radio singer , while parveen babi merrily moves in to take her place . zuber continues to wear his pained helpless look till babi also figures out that it is not a medical problem and in fact , he is pining for his shabana azmi . magnanimously she moves out and wife and husband - surprise . surprise - renew their idyllic life together .\nthe supposedly ' modern ' people being portrayed in the film are dealt with in the platitudes of the commercial hindi cinema . perhaps the only modernism is babi ' s unabashed hunger for sex instead of the usual coy tears of women on the indian screen . and the much talked about ' hot scenes ' , however , show more of zuber ' s bare back than babi ' s shapely body .\nthe lack of authenticity is further compounded by the fact that the actors do not seem to be clear about which language they should communicate in . at times they are speaking chaste hindi and sometimes switching to high - flown urdu interspersed with bbc - accented english .\nmarc zuber , the actor from london , has an impressive presence , but his poor hindi diction suppresses the good actor hiding in him which sometimes flashes across when he speaks in english . babi ' s acting repertoire in the film ranges from opening her mouth to show happiness and licking her upper lip suggestively to show ecstasy besides dropping her clothes at appropriate intervals .\nlove , passions , permissiveness can be an exciting mix , but can also be a dangerous potion beyond a point . 2nd film in vinod pande ' s highly acclaimed trilogy about extra -

making full of passion \u2013 which is pretty much the only thing he is missing in his marriage . his libido switches off his brain for a while and what follows is an agonizing watch of him not even try to mend the relationship with his wife , just aimlessly lying in one bed or another ( there were several very much adult scenes ) and feeling sorry for himself . soon after his wife leaves him he finds out that sex is probably not everything , and proves to be an idiot once more when he brushes off every attempt of his lover to make their life happy . parveen\u00b4s character turns from wicked to highly naive , even stupid , but i guess falling in love does that to you .\nshabana is amazing as is her custom , and the only good thing about the movie really , since she doesn\u00b4t sit around crying begging or moping , she faces all and comes out victorious . by her victory i do not mean she gets the guy back in the end ( though yes , she does ) , but because she refuses to be reduced to a weeping wife blackmailing her unfaithful husband to come back with her little child or personal grief . she never succumbs to clever ( and less clever ) tricks to lure him back , as usually is the custom in bollywood films no matter if he cheated once or on every occasion possible . she has dignity . she is more than capable of picking up whatever she has left and start a new life , completely independent , even though heart broken .\nmoral of the film : you are in trouble if these are the words your husband uses to describe you .\noverall the pace of the film was slow and if you do not have a fetish for elderly guy lying without a purpose among sheets -

? she wrote back ,\nirrfan khan .\nshabana azmi was my gateway into indian film , the sine qua non of my decade \u00ad - long obsession .\nwith her poise and beauty , her accomplishments and principals and no\u00ad ? nonsense approach to all ? aspects of her public life , she became my first love and has remained an all ? - ? time favorite . ? and so i have watched a lot of movies for no reason other than that shabana azmi was in them . ? indeed , i ' ve travel ? l ? ed more than 200 miles to catch a shabana azmi film that wasn ' t playing near ? my city - \u00ad twice . the first trip was for reema kagti ' s clever and lovable honeymoon travels pvt . ? ltd . ; the second was loins of punjab presents , a marvelously quirky movie by the late manish ? acharya . each of these was well worth the trip ; they are terrific films in many ways , not just treats ? ? for the obsessive shabana azmi completist .\nother films that i have watched primarily for her have not been quite so rewarding . jazbaa ? deserves the tepid reception it got ; it is a weak and carelessly scripted thriller , with dialogues that ? are often embarrassingly ham\u00adfisted . still , there is pleasure , for a fan like me , in the sheer gravity ? that shabana azmi reliably brings to the screen in any role of a woman scarred and scorned . and ? it is far from the worst i have endured for the sake of my first filmi love .\nthat honour goes to son of the pink panther , a grotesque misfire by the often brilliant blake ? edwards . in this embarrassing miscarriage of edwards ' s pink panther franchise , shabana plays ?\nthe queen\n, the scheming wife of the emir of lugash , the franchise ' s favourite fictional middle ? eastern nation . the film is barely coherent , but near as i can tell the queen engineers a plot to ? kidnap the emir ' s daughter , demanding a pile of cash in ransom and the emir ' s abdication . in his ? place she hopes to elevate her lover , the sinister , mustachioed leader of the lugash military . ? what shabana azmi does in this sad pageant is look fabulous and vastly outclass every other actor ? she interacts with . but even she cannot make the film watchable , with dialogues like these :\nit ' s hard to imagine that another film in shabana azmi ' s impressive filmography could give this ? atrocity a run for its money , but gaja gamini surely does . this work , supposedly an ode to his ? muse by the artist m f husain , is a bizarrely amateurish paean to the objectification of women . ?\nmadhuri ' s character , the titular gaja gamini , incarnates through the ages as a series of mysterious , ? diaphanous women , each of whom resides high on a conceptual pedestal . apparently , husain ' s ? great vision of the timeless power of woman is the limitless ability to sit around while men are ? inspired by them to shape the world with art , science , and culture .\nthe segment with shabana azmi is actually the least cringe ? - ? inducing of the lot . but here , too , a ? few minutes of shabana azmi doing the best she can with abominable material is not enough to ? save gaja gamini ( though madhuri , who so often elevates otherwise terrible movies into the realm ? of watchability , also gives it her best ) . gaja gamini is a lot to endure for love of one actor , with its ? ? embarrassing melange of stupid dialogues , vapid concepts , and stiffly acted ? nonsense .\nas shabana azmi ' s biggest fan , it ' s not just her award\u00ad ? winning , mature performances that interest ? ? me ; i am equally drawn to the rawness of her youth , and the choices she made before her celebrity ? was cemented and before her commitment to social activism crystallised . thinking of those early ? days , it is understandable that a freshly ? - ? minted ftii graduate would not turn down an opportunity ? to share the screen with a massive celebrity like dev anand . but the resulting film , anand ' s vanity ? project ishk ishk ishk \u2014 shabana azmi ' s first mainstream role ? \u2014 i ? s a true test of my love .\nthe 1974 film was a box office disaster , with very good reason . anand was about 50 at the time of ? shooting , and his creaky movements , terrible toupees , and pancaked skin overshadow any traces of ? the charming hero he had been a decade or two before . naturally , though , he attempts a young and ? energetic character , and romances not just a 23 ? - ? year ? - ? old azmi , but a 22 ? - ? year ? \u00adold zeenat aman , ? ? too . this is a lot to stomach . anand is not the first , and far from the last , aging hero to shoehorn ? ? himself into age inappropriate circumstances , but it seems especially egregious here , in a film ? whose most watchable moments are unintentionally comical ones .\nshabana azmi ' s brief role as ? vapid , pouty , and fickle girl does not do nearly as much to redeem the film as some hilarious ? footage of kabir bedi prancing around with an accordion does . ? ?\nbut with stout heart i will make my way through the rest of shabana azmi ' s diverse and ? interesting filmography , because for every one of these , there is an arth , an ankur , a godmother , a ? superbly crafted piece of storytelling in which she owns the screen . whether she is having fun ? playing farcical roles as in matru ki bijlee ki mandola , or harnessing fierce melodrama as in ? jazbaa , i will keep watching , because even after enduring son of the pink panther , you never ? forget your first love .\ndownload the outlook \u200bmagazines app . six magazines , wherever you go ! play store and app store\nmarriage and home are one and the same , and both require an investment of effort to flourish against the buffeting of the world .\nthe message : once mother india has made the difficult decisions and painful sacrifices , those of her children who remain will be squarely on the road to prosperity ."]}

fisted as anything that\u2019s been filmed and manages to undercut pretty much everything that came before it . suddenly the picture becomes obnoxiously didactic and reduces its characters to just toys for its screenwriters . while the sequence is undeniably virtuosic from a technical standpoint , it\u2019s a disaster in every other way . i\u2019ve rarely seen a movie with an ending this bad in my entire life .\nin carancho the hospital is overworked and the doctors are exhausted . not only are the lawyers and their clients corrupt , but of course so are the police officers and doctors ( and it\u2019s implicit that the actual insurance agencies are at least as bad ) . dar\u00edn\u2019s performance in particular helps the film out with its tone of dark realism , presenting a hero who\u2019s interested in doing the right thing but left with a world so bleak that attempting to do so is virtually suicide .\ncarancho has been on my watchlist for years and what a disappointment . yesterday i watched on body and soul , a very different and ever - so - patiently characterised film and a romance of small gestures . seeing this the following day , a film in which the romance that is at the core of the story is so complicated it could be written - in full - on the back of a post - it note . this supremely shallow film made all the more flimsy by the context in which i watched it .\nin the last twenty minutes the film hurtles \u2013 almost like a careening car , if we\u2019re going to get deep here \u2013 towards a swift , dissatisfying conclusion . ultimately , trapero betrays his characters by removing their autonomy and transforming them into objects moved along by currents they can\u2019t control . it may be a comment on the futility of attempting to live for yourself in a world which seeks to drag you down , but the ending to carancho feels less like a piece of social commentary than a sleekly filmed , somewhat empty final flourish designed to shock , in the vein of the most cynical hollywood blockbusters .\nhopeloos vechten tegen de bierkaai , zo valt de \u2018strijd\u2019 van sosa en luj\u00e1n te beschrijven . zie maar eens te overleven in deze door en door verrotte maatschappij . \u2018carancho\u2019 blinkt over de gehele linie uit qua acteerprestaties met garin , die nog altijd geen gehoor wenst te geven aan de lokroep uit hollywood , en gusman als zeer overtuigende hoofdrolspelers . je zou de film kunnen zien als een ode aan de onlangs overleden zuid -

chasing lawyers who fleece personal injuries victims out of their money . they also , we soon learn , set up many of those injuries themselves , and this problem is something of an epidemic in argentina\u2014at least according to the films opening titles , which explain that the country has over 8 , 000 traffic deaths a year . sosa ( ricardo dar\u00edn ) has been working for a personal injury attorney ever since he lost his license , but he\u2019s about to get it back and wants to return to practicing law ethically . before it comes to that , though , he meets luj\u00e1n , a doctor working as a paramedic , and the two fall in love . but sosa knows too much about this insurance fraud scam , and his old boss isn\u2019t above attacking sosa wherever it hurts most to keep him from ratting on the operation .\nthe first plot twist is horrifyingly entertaining . the second plot twist is okay , too . but after the third , fourth and fifth major turns of the story , audiences are desensitized , annoyed and expectant . i knew exactly how the movie was going to end before i watched it , so chances are you will too . \u201ccarancho\u201d is ruined by this desperate attempt to create interest in , ironically , what could have been an emotional and developed film . trapero can\u2019t seem to get enough of cheap shock value . a seemingly complex addition soon becomes submerged by other incoming dramatic elements . for instance , ( minor spoiler alert ) it is revealed that lujan shoots heroin . trapero\u2019s superficial attempt at revealing the troubled nature of lujan\u2019s character adds absolutely nothing to the film . it does not progress the plot but merely makes a mockery of an otherwise emotional film as it raises such an important issue but gives it no attention .\nbrendan connell , jr . appointed chief operating officer of the academy museum of motion pictures\nthe academy\u2019s board of governors awards an oscar\u00ae to alejandro g . i\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s \u201ccarne y arena\u201d virtual reality installation\nthe academy continues residency at the metrograph theater in new york with \u201cthe ballad of gregorio cortez\u201d and tribute to george a . romero\nacademy rescinds sound mixing nomination for greg p . russell on \u201c13 hours : the secret soldiers of benghazi\u201d\njennifer aniston , jason bateman , warren beatty , sofia boutella , matt damon , faye dunaway , michael j . fox , ryan gosling , salma hayek , taraji p . henson , dev patel , seth rogen , octavia spencer , meryl streep and vince vaughn announced as presenters\nhalle berry , jamie dornan , chris evans , gael garc\u00eda bernal , samuel l . jackson , scarlett johansson , dakota johnson , kate mckinnon , shirley maclaine , hailee steinfeld will be presenters on oscars\u00ae stage\njackie chan , anne v . coates , lynn stalmaster and frederick wiseman to receive academy\u2019s 2016 governors awards\noscar winners morgan freeman and john legend added as presenters along with j . j . abrams , sacha baron cohen and henry cavill dave grohl will give a special performance\nkathy baker , o\u2019shea jackson jr . , freida pinto and jimmy smits to perform at academy nicholl fellowships live read\nkristen bell and michael b . jordan to host academy ' s sci -

motion sequence of a car accident and the information that 8 , 000 argentines die on the road each year . they don ' t all have decent accident insurance , and that is where hector sosa ( darin ) comes in . his craggy face , made even tougher wearing a crew cut , reacts to police radio reports of a crash and he speeds off in pursuit to help the survivors land their claims with their insurance companies .\nthe\nfoundation\nhe works for is charitable only to themselves , appropriating the lion ' s share of the claims they handle . the dark , seedy office is right out of the 1940s , like the hard - nosed bruisers who run the joint . it would be interesting to count the number of times sosa gets brutally beaten up in the film , afterwards pretending nothing happened as he wipes the blood from his face .\ncomplications arise when he meets lujan ( gusman ) , an innocent -

down hospital where lujan works , littered with garbage and smeared with blood . she keeps herself on an even keel shooting up in the bathroom ; when sosa finds out she ' s a junkie , he takes it in stride . his heart of gold makes him want to help some of the accident victims , while earning a little money on the side . this leads to a conflict of interest with his employers and to a dramatically over -

the story of love and romance : from adam and eve to tinder and chemsex . compiled by martin chilton\nat first , the couple , whose affair begins instantaneously , seems mismatched . through the course of the film , however , viewers learn that appearances can be deceiving . as sosa\u2019s dreams of a \u201cpeaceful\u201d job and lujan\u2019s self - destruction unravel , the two become inseparable .\nthe unconventional casting is a minor annoyance . gusman , who looks like she just graduated high school , is far too young to play a convincing doctor . as such , darin embodies a creep more than sweet lover , making scenes of affection unbearable to watch\u2014not to mention that the sex scene is unnecessarily long and quite frankly , disgusting ( no offense , darin ) . the fact that sosa is three times lujan\u2019s age is never an issue in the film . trapero should keep in mind that literary and cinematic classics , \u201clolita\u201d being a good example in this case , revolve around one issue and all of its complexity instead of skimming a lot of them . a mature and contemplative audience yearns to delve deeper .\nin its more than 240 years of existence , the united states has seen near -

rounded , intriguing characters , trapero seems to lose his grip on what he is trying to achieve half way through his film . when luj\u00e1n discovers what sosa has been doing , she breaks contact with him . there is then a somewhat clunky jump forward in time and sosa returns to luj\u00e1n , having shaved his head and attempting to set his life back on track by legitimately helping the victims of accidents . the story then follows the two becoming embroiled in a feud with sosa\u2019s ex bosses , requiring both to act in increasingly unrealistic ways in order to push forward the plot .\nthis love story begins the night lujan and sosa meet , on the street . she is fighting to save a car accident victim ' s life . he wants the victim to be his client . together they will try to change the co . . . more\nthis love story begins the night lujan and sosa meet , on the street . she is fighting to save a car accident victim ' s life . he wants the victim to be his client . together they will try to change the course of their lives , but sosa ' s turbulent past will come up against them .\nwe track hollywood ' s upcoming movie releases through all stages of production . more\nan ambulance -

of - factly as \u201cremarkable , \u201d so as to not betray that very achievement , it\u2019s in those more intimate scenes that love is strange may be at its most astounding .\nwe could at least admire the mpaa\u2019s honesty if it admitted that love is strange has been guilty of \u201cexcessive normalising of a loving homosexual relationship with no punishment or prolonged unhappiness for either party\u201d . mainstream cinema has tended to like its gay characters either tormented ( brokeback mountain ) , comical ( the birdcage ) , dead ( milk ) or dying ( philadelphia ) . the couple in love is strange fall into none of those categories . except for an instance of homophobia that forces one of them into unemployment , their sexuality passes without mention . it is only the mpaa that has made it an issue . the bbfc has gone for the slightly softer option of a 15 rating , again because of a few instances of strong language , though this also feels a tad harsh . i don\u2019t recall the air turning blue when i saw love is strange at the berlin film festival back in february .\nnear the end of love is strange , george and ben exit a bar drunk and drunk on affection for each other and walk down the street side by side , but , like the couple from jackson heights , never make physical contact with each other as they stroll . they don\u2019t hold hands .\n\u2018\u2018i wouldn\u2019t have fallen in love with him if he wasn\u2019t capable of consent , \u2019\u2019 she would later say in court . \u2018\u2018i wouldn\u2019t have fallen in love with him if he wasn\u2019t someone interested in reading books and talking about them . he was my best friend . \u2019\u2019\nthe tricky balance struck between the starkness of george and ben\u2019s situation and the emotional richness of their relationship has become a signature of sorts for love is strange \u2019s director ira sachs , who has made a name for himself with unflinching and unflinchingly romantic queer films , particularly the 2012 indie hit keep the lights on .\nthere is a famous saying , attributed to benjamin franklin , that guests are like fish : after three days they begin to stink . ira sachs ' new film , love is strange , underlines the truth in franklin ' s observation . this is a new york - set love story in which accommodation arrangements and rental prices play a very major part . beautifully observed and slow - burning , the film concentrates on aspects of relationships that other romantic dramas routinely ignore .\nyou sure do love your greenery . i respect that you\u2019re very open about advocating the legalization of marijuana . what\u2019s your favorite type of weed ? bubblegum\u2026\nan achingly beautiful chamber piece about an older gay couple whose lives are upended by financial downturn , love is strange is remarkable because of an insistence on not making its headline -

13 . there isn ' t another way to read the mpaa ' s actions . the mpaa doesn ' t want to appear to be\nsoft\non potentially controversial content , though the film itself , a very good one , is about as controversial as cottage cheese .\nthe upcoming episode of the tlc show will also focus on an african - american albino named nathan hurd who makes a living as a comedian . but he remains unlucky with love !\nas an artist , i am keen on gathering the living force within a community for the collective effort of cinema . this film entered people\u2019s lives , as they entered the film in equal measure \u2026 boundaries blur , truth and fiction are intermingled . the introduction of fact does not necessarily make fiction more real , but possibly more strange . ajeeb aashiq / strange love asks viewers to embrace this formal and conceptual hybridism as a strategy meant not so much to dupe , mislead , or mock , but to offer an alternate lens and documenting tactic , one which may address the complex realities of identity , class and the politics of representation . natasha mendonca\nin the end of the first indochina war , an open - minded teenage boy finds himself between the urge to discover love and the ever - present , dominating affection of his mother .\nthis debut feature from indian artist and curator natasha mendonca follows the intersecting lives of suman , a punk , jazz and slam poetry vocalist , and khush , a rickshaw driver in the process of transitioning to a male body . unrequited love , betrayal and friendship underlie a larger narrative of city hustle as suman explores what forms her artistic practice can take outside of the predominantly hetero - patriarchal bollywood industry and khush strives to make a working - class wage . through its intimate gaze , strange love investigates how attitudes toward sex and relationships are shaped by mainstream entertainment and how these longings cut across the class divide .\n\u201che\u2019s made several gay - themed films that are full of a lot of agony and torment , \u201d lithgow says . with love is strange and the relationship between ben and george , he had \u201cliterally set out to do a positive look at his own future . \u201d sachs had recently gotten married himself , lithgow says , and \u201cwanted to project into the future what a long lasting , committed relationship would look like . \u201d\nlove is strange is an intermittently wonderful new film about an ageing manhattan couple who get hitched almost 40 years into their relationship , only for their suddenly straitened circumstances to force them to live apart for the first time . it\u2019s a gentle and perceptive comedy - drama , so it\u2019s rather a shock to find that the us ratings board , the motion picture association of america ( mpaa ) , has given it an r rating .\nthey have decreed that love is strange should have the same rating as saw iii ( \u201cstrong grisly violence and gore , sequences of terror and torture , nudity and language\u201d ) , my bloody valentine ( \u201cgraphic brutal horror violence and grisly images throughout , some strong sexuality , graphic nudity and language\u201d ) , and the new sin city film ( \u201cstrong brutal stylised violence throughout , sexual content , nudity , and brief drug use\u201d ) .\n\u2018\u2018yes , [ d . j . ] wanted to be physically involved with me , and i wanted to be physically involved with him , \u2019\u2019 anna said . but , she continued , \u2018\u2018our relationship is not just about or primarily about the sex part . we love each other very , very , very much , and i wouldn\u2019t have sex with somebody that i didn\u2019t love . \u2019\u2019\nin the week when a judge struck down florida\u2019s ban on same - sex marriage , describing it as \u201cunconstitutional\u201d , the ratings board cannot pretend any longer to be holding a mirror up to society \u2013 unless it is a mirror of the funhouse variety . the mpaa\u2019s behaviour has revealed once again that it considers violence to be hunky - dory and torture tip - top . it is love , the message seems to be , which is strange .\nlove is strange isn ' t intended as a polemical drama . it has the feel of an elliptical and enigmatic short story in which everything is implied rather than spelled out . sachs directs in an unfussy fashion that complements the performances . everything here is about subtext . casual conversations about moviegoing or schoolwork never mean quite what they seem . characters are terrified of saying directly what they feel . it ' s the silences and the pained expressions of their faces which reveal their true emotions .\nperhaps if\nlove is strange\nhad three or four fewer uses of the f - word and variations , it would ' ve received a pg - 13 . as is , though , seeing this gentle , easygoing picture go out with an r \u2014 the same rating as\nsin city : a dame to kill for\nand a hundred other insistently brutal products on the market \u2014 suggests to sachs\nan uncomfortable relationship between the mpaa and the subject of the film . it also seems like sloppy work . you watch the film , it ' s a story about family , about how people love as individuals but also as families , and what we teach our children about our values and beliefs .\nthe\nlove is strange\nr rating is for language . the key offender is the word\nmother - - - - - - ,\nuttered three times in a brief exchange . also there are five\nf ' s\nheard elsewhere . total : eight . for comparison ' s sake , the film content evaluation site urltoken tallied\nover 414 f -

weensy bit of terror and torture ? no grisly images or graphic nudity ? i wonder if the director , ira sachs , feels a bit like the faithful spouse accused erroneously of adultery : if he is going to be pilloried anyway , maybe he should have committed the crime for which he is being punished and thrown in a few chainsaw murders just for the hell of it .\nwhen love is strange begins , george and ben are waking up next to each other , as they have for 39 years . they shower , dress , bicker , chide each other about being late , tell the other where his glasses are , tie the other\u2019s tie , and hurry each other out of their gorgeous new york city apartment , lest they be late . \u201cthe best compliment i received about the movie was that somebody said , \u2018you and john look so fucking married , \u2019\u201d molina laughs . and they do . they look so fucking married .\nstrange love : episodes is conceived , choreographed and directed by nathan trice , written by nathan trice and charles de veaux , music direction by nick jost , vocal coach maritri garrett , cinematography by filmmaker vanja srdic , projection designs by ed stone french , lighting design eddie stockton , photography by judith stuart & ernesto mancebo , and costume design by david shen & keiko voltaire . the cast of multi - talented dancer / singers are : nathan trice , tendayi kuumba , ryoji sasamoto , makiko tamura , tiffany mellard , damani pompey , jaquez a . sims and karina ikezoe .\none of the strengths of this wise and lovely film is that it declines fully to answer these and other questions . the story of george and ben seems to have been plucked from a meadow of narrative possibilities ; an interesting movie could have been made about everybody in this one . \u201clove is strange\u201d is mr . sachs\u2019s fifth feature as a director , and its title would suit almost all of them . the strangeness here may have less to do with the affection that binds the central couple than with the ties of kinship and friendship between them and the rest of the characters .\nin fact , played with all the lived - in heart , soul , affection , and hostility of a couple that\u2019s been together for decades , the story of george ( alfred molina ) and ben ( john lithgow ) could very well be called love is normal .\nin december 2012 , nathan and his company of multi - talented artist completed a six month exploratory residency at freecandy , an intimate sixty - seat warehouse art / performance space located in the clinton - hill / bed - stuy area of brooklyn , ny . freecandy\u2019s graffitied walls , neon painted antique & contemporary furniture and fixtures , and candled decorated bar with concocted drinks became the perfect setting for strange love : episodes . the combination of space and layered content rooted in trice\u2019s episodic structure created an intimate , urban , gritty mood where the audience and performers proximity invoked an immersive voyeurism between one another .\nthat was the moment anna knew she couldn\u2019t keep her feelings to herself . \u2018\u2018i wanted to put my arms around him and say : \u2018you can have that . i love you , \u2019 \u2019\u2019 she later testified . a week later , at his afternoon day program , anna finally told d . j . how she felt . \u2018\u2018i love you , too , \u2019\u2019 he typed . she said she had known that for a long time , and he said he had known it , too . and then he typed , \u2018\u2018so now what ? \u2019\u2019\nso often when a film is made about a gay romance , the characters are young and promiscuous , or young and questioning , or young and in love , or young and trying to find themselves and their place in the world . mostly , though , they are young .\n\u2018\u2018that broke my heart all over again , \u2019\u2019 she said in court . \u2018\u2018i said , \u2018i\u2019m in love with you the whole way . \u2019 then he said , \u2018kiss me , \u2019 and i did . he said , \u2018kiss me again . \u2019 i kissed him again . \u2019\u2019\nif you have seen leo mccarey ' s 1937\nmake way for tomorrow\n( a film orson welles declared\nthe saddest movie i have ever seen\n) then this set - up will sound familiar . in some respects\nlove is strange\ncould be considered an unofficial remake . it has the same bittersweet heart , and the same almost urgent desire or demand that older people be treated with more respect . the couple in\nmake way for tomorrow\nare split up for similar real estate - related reasons , have to bunk with their busy adult children , and find themselves disoriented in a lonely world without their partner .\nin its oblique way , love is strange is exposing homophobic attitudes that persist in a seemingly liberal new york community . for all their seemingly progressive attitudes , elliot and kate can ' t hide their dismay at the idea that their teenage son might be gay . ben and george become homeless partly because of their sexuality . if george had been heterosexual , he would never have lost his job . the irony is obvious . same - sex marriage became legal in new york in 2011 . ben and george are delighted finally to take advantage of what seems to be a new - found tolerance \u2013 but marrying is the cause of all their subsequent problems .\na man who had been said to have the mental capacity of a toddler was now on the conference circuit and taking college classes . at last the world could get to know d . j . and understand his mind . \u2018\u2018he\u2019s an extremely ethical person \u2014 it\u2019s one of the things that impressed me about him , \u2019\u2019 anna said in court . \u2018\u2018you know how you can meet somebody who\u2019s extremely physically attractive , and then when you get to know them , they have such a horrible personality that they don\u2019t really look attractive to you ? it works the same way in reverse . if somebody has an interesting , engaging mind and good heart and a beautiful soul , that is transformative . it shows through , and you love the person . and so you love being close to them , and you love the body that they\u2019re in , because that\u2019s the body that they have . \u2019\u2019\nafter many hours of discussion and several visits to the day program , anna finally convinced d . j . that she meant all that she had been saying . \u2018\u2018o . k . , i believe you really do love me , \u2019\u2019 he typed . \u2018\u2018but are you physically attracted to me ? \u2019\u2019\nlike christian bale\u2019s bruce wayne in \u201cbatman begins , \u201d dr . stephen strange comes by his powers on a pilgrimage to the east . an arrogant , wealthy surgeon whose hands are mangled in a car accident , he seeks healing from the ancient one ( tilda swinton ) , leader of an order of martial - arts students as knowledgeable in string theory as swordsmanship . the initially snarky , tony stark - y strange becomes a believer when a . o . smacks his \u201castral form\u201d out of his physical form , sending him barreling through a trippy , interdimensional rabbit hole whose visuals recall jodie foster\u2019s space journey in \u201ccontact , \u201d improved with up - to - the - minute technology . this is the rare film that earns its 3 - d surcharge .\nfrom the first moments we see them together \u2014 waking , washing and dressing in the manhattan apartment they have shared for decades \u2014 it is clear that ben ( john lithgow ) and george ( alfred molina ) are a walking illustration of the phrase \u201cold married couple . \u201d they know each other so well and have adapted , graciously and sometimes a little fractiously , to each other\u2019s peculiarities . state law , at long last , has caught up with the reality of their relationship : the first scenes in ira sachs\u2019s \u201clove is strange\u201d take place on the morning of george and ben\u2019s marriage , which is solemnized in an alfresco ceremony followed by a relaxed and lively party at home .\nlove is strange is the fifth feature by independent filmmaker ira sachs ( forty shades of blue , keep the lights on ) , who is among the most perceptive and civilized of american directors . his beautifully intuitive script ( written with mauricio zacharias ) is a collection of snapshots . george moves in with his party - hearty downstairs neighbors ( manny perez and cheyenne jackson ) , a gay cop couple dubbed \u201dthe policewomen . \u201d ben , an artist who at 71 realizes that his paintings might never gain the acclaim he\u2019s hoped for , shacks up with his nephew elliot ( darren burrows ) and elliot\u2019s novelist wife ( marisa tomei , essaying another one of her complex brooklyn dames ) .\nthe story is elusive , with unexpected leaps in time comparable to boyhood . but like richard linklater\u2019s masterpiece , love is strange is hardly plotless . the final act is punctuated by a major event , yet sachs is too smart a director to dwell on it . instead he aims away from the obvious and toward a poignant wordless denouement involving ben\u2019s 15 - year - old great - nephew ( the revelatory charlie tahan of 2010\u2019s charlie st . cloud ) . it\u2019s one final nuanced decision in a movie loaded with them . sachs , molina , and lithgow have given adult moviegoers a perfect piece of summer counterprogramming \u2014 a warm , humane , resplendent romance to savor while our days are still long . a\nwith a mischievous , metaphysical flourish , \u201cdoctor strange\u201d administers some much - needed cpr to the flagging superhero genre . it doesn\u2019t reinvent the wheel \u2014 a power - hungry villain ( mads mikkelsen ) tries to unleash hell on earth , blah blah blah \u2014 but it\u2019s a heck of a lot more fun than i\u2019ve had at a marvel movie lately . plus , who could be more perfectly suited to the moniker than benedict cumberbatch , who\u2019s always exuded strangeness ?\nthe xuxa invasion will hit mainstream america with a style and flair that seems light - years from mr . rogers ' neighborhood . xuxa ' s show is as latin american as tango and bossa nova with lots of hugging and kissing and talk about spiritual well - being . xuxa ' s style is to distribute kisses like candy and transmit a real\ni love you\nfeel .\nin syracuse , i met several people who started with f . c . and later learned to type without support , including jamie burke , a young man who once worked with rosemary crossley and now spelled out his words to me with no one touching him . his messages were somewhat cryptic : \u2018\u2018law of fair and just , \u2019\u2019 he wrote , and also , \u2018\u2018i love challenging my correction . \u2019\u2019\nlove is strange\nis not showily directed , and yet there are touches throughout that help ground us in the characters ' inner lives . george coaches a young music student on her\ninterpretation\nof chopin ( chopin ' s music fills the soundtrack ) , and as she tries the piece again , the music intensifies his personal drama , and he ' s so overcome that he has to turn away to hide his tears . joey stands on the landing of an apartment stairwell clutching a skateboard , crying by himself . beyond the window is the green of the courtyard . the camera does not move ; neither does the boy . he just stands there , crying for as long as he feels like crying , then getting himself together and continuing on down the stairs . it ' s a caesura , potent and powerful , unhurried and true . by that point in the story , we need it as badly as joey does .\na perfect summary ! i\u2019d love to know more about these morally unjust decisions of his . what kind of dirt does he get into ? sex ? drugs ? parties ? enquiring minds want to know . all of the above ! there is actually a really good party scene in the film where i go to a rave . i get a little fucked up and end up stuffing my face with food until i puke .\nbefore anna showed up at d . j . \u2019s house that memorial day in 2011 , she warned him that his mother and brother might be upset by their relationship . they might even ban her from seeing him , she said , and as his legal guardians , they had the right to do so . \u2018\u2018they would never do that to me , \u2019\u2019 d . j . typed back . \u2018\u2018they love me too much . \u2019\u2019\n\u201cit\u2019s a story about a relationship and the fact that they\u2019re gay men , in a way , is almost irrelevant , \u201d molina tells me , a sentiment that\u2019s certainly echoed by his co - star . \u201cit\u2019s just a beautiful portrait of love , taking the sexual part out of it , \u201d lithgow says . that matter - of - factness is what makes the film so great\u2014and the circumstances behind its bleak narrative so infuriating and timely .\nanna and her husband married in june 1989 , when she was still a teenager in college and roger was 24 , a tuba player for the detroit symphony orchestra . they had a son six years later and a daughter a few years after that . in 2010 , when anna first began to fall in love with d . j . , she and her family were living in a modest house in west orange , n . j .\n\u201ci remember thinking that , as a straight man , the thought of walking down the street with someone i love and not holding their hand or be able to link arms or feel easy about putting my arm around them \u2014 i can\u2019t even imagine how that feels , \u201d molina says . \u201cso to be able to live with that and still be able to make a relationship work and still have value and meaning is extraordinary to me . \u201d\ngiven the strange tension in the room , i felt it necessary to break the ice and mention to him that i was a big fan and , in fact , a little nervous . he said , \u201cdon\u2019t be\u201d and jumped off the edge of the couch , placing himself on the seat , removing his slippers , and stretching his legs out across the table in front of me\u2014gyrating and rubbing his socked feet mere centimeters from my knees as he glared . after a minute or two of fumbling with my iphone recorder , i finally managed to start the interview .\nlove is strange takes its tempo from the chopin and beethoven piano music that we hear unobtrusively on the soundtrack . there are very few big climactic moments . the most dramatic event in the movie isn ' t even shown on screen . instead , sachs concentrates on the everyday problems that his characters face . when they sell the apartment they can no longer afford , ben and george are forced to live separately while they look for somewhere else . george stays with neighbours while ben moves in with his nephew elliot ( darren burrows ) , elliot ' s kind - hearted novelist wife , kate ( marisa tomei ) , and their teenage son joey ( charlie tahan ) . it seems like the perfect arrangement\u2026 for about three days , until benjamin franklin ' s fish problem begins to apply . ben ' s presence in an already cramped apartment quickly irks his new hosts . he himself is uncomfortable . as he puts it ,\nsometimes , when you live with people , you know them better than you care to .\npoor richard\n( aka ben franklin ) observed in his almanack centuries ago that\nfish and visitors stink after three days .\nthe people in\nlove is strange\nwho take in ben and george experience that upsetting truth . ben crashes with his nephew elliott ( darren e . burrows ) , an busy video producer who is rarely home , and his wife , kate ( marisa tomei ) , a novelist struggling with her next book . they have an awkward teenage son named joey ( charlie tahan ) who only has one friend , a swaggering russian kid named vlad ( eric tabach ) . ben is removed from his familiar environment , his partner and his cherished routines , and starts to deteriorate . george has a little bit more emotional resilience , but he begins to fall apart too , staying with a much - younger gay couple ( cheyenne jackson and manny perez ) who both work for the nypd . george tries to sleep on the couch in a party house atmosphere , with\ngame of thrones\nmarathons and people coming and going .\namerican director ira sachs ' work is clearly a movie made for devotees of reflective film and not mainstream box office . sachs also co - produced and writes this account of disparate relationships . the fabricated arrangement gives way to some admittedly contrived situations manufactured in the interest of extracting a reaction . alfred molina and john lithgow are extraordinarily good as the displaced couple . they lend a gravity to their characters that raise this chronicle to a higher level . despite the narrative ' s handling of the hot button topic of same sex marriage , the real story exploits genuine emotion as it deals with the many - sided personalities in an extended family . this is a subtle production that has universal appeal . whether they ' re singing at a piano to guests at a party or reflecting on what has become of their lives in separate bunk beds , molina and lithgow give nuanced performances . yet the script accomplishes so much more . love is strange is a well written drama that beautifully handles the observational insights of a family tree and the way a simple crisis affects its many branches . urltoken\nbut when george climbs into bed with ben midway through the film and the two characters just hold each other , with all the comfort and feeling of men who have been in love for 40 years , it was a portrayal of a gay relationship that i don\u2019t think i had ever seen before on screen . i can\u2019t think of another example of older , settled gay film characters long into their lives that young gay people could look at and think , \u201cone day i hope that my partner and i will be like that , like them . \u201d\nlater that afternoon , i met a 20 - year - old man named john who had a prominent underbite . john had been assessed as having the mental capacity of a 3 - year - old , but using f . c . he could write poetry . his father handed me some printouts of john\u2019s writing ( \u2018\u2018the place to discover the ember of love is worlds away but so close / in the land of the nonverbal autistic\u2019\u2019 ) , then grabbed john\u2019s finger so we could have a direct exchange . \u2018\u2018know that we are intelligent , \u2019\u2019 john\u2019s finger typed into the keyboard .\nwhat is even more disquieting for each is the revelation that , agonising though the situation is , it can work \u2013 after a fashion . they can get by . their love is real enough , but they can function as individuals , as single people . it is as if they are young again \u2013 messy and troublesome kids living with their parents , meeting up for dates and illicit sex , yet what they are concealing is not their sexuality but the fear of disaster , the fear of ending their days in poverty and failure , with the relationship that they thought was the bedrock of their existence shattered , almost casually .\n\u201cyou look at a couple like that and realize that they\u2019d been together for maybe 40 or 50 years in a society that regards them as second - class citizens , \u201d lithgow says . \u201cand in order for them to stay together , just be with the person they love , they\u2019ve had to more or less live with that and accept it , and be grateful for what they get in return , which is intimacy with each other . \u201d lithgow\u2019s next observation is one that had a shattering effect on both actors : \u201cbut , if they walk down the street with each other , they don\u2019t touch . they don\u2019t hold hands . \u201d\nthey went back and forth on this question . \u2018\u2018he grilled me on how much i really loved him , how committed i was to him , how i felt about my husband , \u2019\u2019 anna wrote in an account of their relationship that she compiled six months later at her lawyer\u2019s request . d . j . wanted to know if she would someday marry him . \u2018\u2018i said : \u2018please , i love you very much , but please don\u2019t ask me that just now . i need time to think through everything . \u2019 he said that he was sorry . he didn\u2019t mean to push that hard . it was childish of him . \u2019\u2019\nwhen she arrived at the house on memorial day in 2011 , anna didn\u2019t know what d . j . planned to do . his brother , wesley , was working in the garden , so she went straight inside to speak with d . j . and his mother , p . they chatted for a while at the dining table about d . j . \u2019s plans for school and for getting his own apartment . then there was a lull in the conversation after wesley came back in , and anna took hold of d . j . \u2019s hand . \u2018\u2018we have something to tell you , \u2019\u2019 they announced at last . \u2018\u2018we\u2019re in love . \u2019\u2019\nall the guests had themselves made a kind of commitment : to redouble their friendship and love for the happy couple . but no one could have imagined how soon they would be expected to redeem this pledge . george is fired from his job by church authorities who disapprove of the gay wedding , though they were happy enough with the deniable hypocrisy of his merely having a roommate . unable to meet their mortgage payments , these two men suffer an unthinkable catastrophe : in what they imagined to be the comfortable evening of their lives , they become homeless refugees , having to split up temporarily and live separately with two sets of friends who , with strained generosity , take them in .\nanna has never wavered in her claim that she and d . j . fell in love and that his messages were his . even after she was indicted , she seemed more concerned about his fate than her own . \u2018\u2018in the spring of 2011 , [ d . j . \u2019s ] access to his means of communication was taken from him , \u2019\u2019 she wrote in a chapter for a recent academic book , which was published while the justice system creaked its way toward trial , \u2018\u2018and he is once again treated as severely intellectually impaired by those who have control over his life . this chapter is dedicated to him , in hope that he will one day regain his voice and his freedom . \u2019\u2019\nlove is strange should have been better than it is . interesting story and premise , but something was left out . don ' t know if scenes were cut out or maybe never even filmed , but it ' s quite disappointing and it could have been so good . acting is above par for the most part , especially marisa tomei . two two lead actors couldn ' t have been better , but they weren ' t given much to work with . fair cinematography and editing and the music score score was a nice touch and fit well with the malina character , him being a music instructor . what doesn ' t ring true is that they had to separate by living in different places . very phone in that respect . the two gay cops were not necessary and their parties they threw were more for college co - eds than grown adults . did not make sense . more annoying was the accent on the nephew . the whole ending centered around him which was ludicrous . a very serious mistake was when the nephew was waiting for ben to come home . he ' s waiting in front of the apartment with nothing but his skateboard in hand . once they get into the apartment and talk for a few minutes , the nephew hands him a large paper painting ! ! how in the hell did the painting get into the apartment as the kid only had his skateboard . didn ' t the writers , director , the camera people , the crew or even the actors question this huge mistake ? ? then again , the boy leaves and the camera stays on him a good couple of minutes as he cries ! ! fair first act and very poor second act and ending .\nbut the family had had enough . what at first struck them as a miracle \u2014 a voice for d . j . , his inner self revealed \u2014 now seemed a fraud . d . j . could not have given his consent to any love affair , they later told the authorities , because he suffers from profound mental disabilities , just as the psychologists had always told them . his \u2018\u2018messages\u2019\u2019 must have been a sham . if anna pretended otherwise , it was only so she could use d . j . as a guinea pig for research , or to further her career , or because , as wesley would later say during the three - week trial for sexual assault that concluded this month in newark , \u2018\u2018she was having some sick , twisted fantasy . \u2019\u2019\nin spite of being set largely in cramped city apartments and having little in the way of obvious dramatic action , the film never feels stilted or stagy . like the music pieces that george so admires , it strikes its own graceful and quietly insistent rhythm . sachs is dealing with pivotal moments in his characters ' lives : love , marriage , illness and enforced separation . it portrays new york in a double - edged fashion . at one stage , we see it from ben ' s point of view as he paints from a rooftop at dusk . it looks quite magical , a city for romance , but if you can ' t find a place with a controlled rent or you ' re a guest outstaying a welcome or your health is failing , it can be a very brutal place indeed ."]}

the movie connects directly with your subconscious , both metaphysically and philosophically . there is no pretense , no artistic flourishes ; everything is stripped down , displaying art at its purest . when \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 released , nobody had ever seen anything like it before . 48 years have passed ; and we are yet to see anything like it since . art is subjective ; so as such there can never be one greatest film . but i don\u2019t have any qualms in proclaiming \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 as the most important film ever made . i don\u2019t think anybody can argue with that !\na monumentally important screenplay . screenwriter must - read : stanley kubrick & arthur c . clarke\u2019s screenplay for 2001 : a space odyssey [ pdf1 , pdf2 ] .

century family . its most famous member , vlad dracula\u2014or vlad the impaler , as he was commonly known\u2014enjoyed a bloody career that rivaled that of his fictional counterpart . the prince of wallachia , vlad was a brilliant and notoriously savage general who impaled his enemies on long spikes . the prince also had a reputation for murdering beggars , forcing women to eat their babies , and nailing the turbans of disrespectful ambassadors to their heads . while stoker\u2019s count dracula is supposed to be a descendant of vlad , and not the prince himself , stoker clearly makes the count resemble his fearsome ancestor . this historical allusion gives dracula a semblance of truth , and , as the author\u2019s note and the coda make clear , stoker wants to suggest that the documents assembled in the novel are real .\nwhere this path carves its own niche is by casting dracula as a direct descendant of adam and eve\u2019s son abel . elsewhere , leonardo van helsing and a pair of attractive young female demon slayers find a roguish thief from the bloodline of cain . with his help , they may be able to defeat the dark forces of dracula by using the lightbringer , the staff that cain used to kill his brother and the only weapon capable of destroying the undead .\n\u201cdracula : the dark prince\u201d would look out of place on a theater big screen . a wise gambler would even wager that the production was likely intended for the small screen at one time . no one is going to mistake the interior settings for an actual romanian castle or anything other than a studio backlot , but the locations themselves are incredibly well dressed . even if the atmosphere is not entirely convincing , the costumes and the set design are not cutting corners . this is the work of a professional and passionate crew . it is simply that the tightness of the fabricated sets never elevates the look too far above that of an extended episode of \u201cxena : warrior princess . \u201d\nthe turks installed vlad ' s brother , radu the handsome , as dracula ' s successor and left wallachia .\n1462 -

( hunyadi died of fever . )\n\u201cthe medieval atmosphere of the hotel in an ancient castle - like building , the rich menu of the restaurant , the large internal court where the guests can have their meals and spend time in the good season . the bathroom made of stones . \u201d\nvampire hunter van helsing ( jon voight ) tries to rescue a woman ( kelly wenham ) from the clutches of dracula ( luke roberts ) .\nthe turks responded by sending a large army into wallachia . at this point , dracula had too many enemies in wallachia and he could muster few troops to fight the turks .\nthere are so many more - over two hundred adaptations or riffs on the myth of which i ' m most upset that i ' ll never have the chance to see the lost 1967 filipino crossover batman fights dracula . still , as much as i and others enjoy the repeat revivals and revisitations to the legend , you can ' t help but wonder if dracula is now overdone .\nthe working title for the new blockbuster helmed by first - time director gary shore was ' dracula : year zero ' , and i ' m excited by that notion or , indeed , ' dracula origins ' or ' dracula begins ' . there ' s a reason that moviemakers keep on constructing film narratives that are origin tale . we ' re obsessed with backstories and there ' s a certain thrill in the beginning of a journey or in the becoming a bit ' special ' .\nuntil the 8th century - - the gepids and the avars ruled transylvania . the bulgars took over romania as part of their empire .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nwe stayed at the suite and loved the design of it . restaurant at the hotel . parking .\nthis is not as bad as expected not great but not bad . there are a lot worse dracula movies out there .\n1447 ( december ) - - vlad ii was assassinated on the orders of john hunyadi , regent of hungary . his eldest son , mercia , was buried alive . after the death of his father , the turks released dracula .\ndracula is entranced by alina when he sees that she resembles his dead wife . van helsing tries convincing lucian to accept his heritage as a descendant of cain . they learn that the lightbringer activates when lucian\u2019s blood makes contact with the staff . dracula becomes angered at his stable of women when they attempt to seduce alina .\nwhile based on the 1992 film of the same name , the game had very little to do with the actual movie . several weapons can be used ; ranging from the basic knife to the advanced shotgun weapon .\n\u201cwe stayed at the suite and loved the design of it . restaurant at the hotel . parking . \u201d\n\ub207 we stayed at the suite and loved the design of it . restaurant at the hotel . parking .\none century later \u2013 female slayers alina and esme accompany a caravan transporting the legendary weapon lightbringer to leonardo van helsing . alina and esme are forced to go on their own when wrath and his soldiers attack the caravan while looking for the lightbringer , said to be the weapon that cain used to kill abel . it has the power to defeat dracula and his undead creatures of the night . several captured humans are brought back to dracula\u2019s castle to be greeted by renfield .\n) 8 - year - old son while they take a vacation . but she soon finds that things are very off with this couple , who are much older than she expected . their real son had recently passed away , so she ' s put in charge of caring for a lifelike porcelain doll that the couple treats as a real child . she enlists the only person she ' s seen in the remote manor ' s town - - a local grocery delivery man - - to help her unravel the dark mystery surrounding the couple .\nin order to defeat dracula , leonardo van helsing must convince a young thief to accept his heritage as a descendent of cain .\nthough an unofficial adaptation , fw murnau ' s nosferatu - starring max schreck as a dracula named count orlok - still terrifies and stands beautifully hideous as a masterpiece of german expressionism and one of the vital originators of horror cinema . likewise , tod browning ' s dracula of 1931 - with the great bela lugosi bidding thee welcome - raised the universal monsters banner and blazed the trail for horror in hollywood .\ni am really shocked at all the bad reviews for this movie . this is by far the best version of dracula i have seen . and i pretty much enjoy them all . granted jon voight wasn ' t the best van helsing and i agree about the cheap cgi . in those days it really was all about god and christianity which is why i think this unexplored version to be the best retelling . it has all the elements for a classic . i liked seeing dracula as a blond . the actor was amazing ! he is everything we would come to expect from dracula . he makes this movie awesome . i love the twists in the plot . in my humble opinion this is every vampire lovers must see movie .\nthe player controls a young lawyer named jonathan harker . harker must free himself from dracula ' s capture , follow him to london , and end his reign of terror .\nthe ottoman empire soldiers destroyed the christian army at the battle of varna . john hunyadi escaped the battle . many , including vlad , blamed hunyadi for the debacle . this started the hostility between john hunyadi and vlad dracul .\nhaving done the whole thing with various van helsings time and time again - the best one being peter cushing , i reckon - it ' s refreshing to reach right back for a sort - of - prequel and spend more time with dracula rather than his more contemporary victims . it ' s not the same - old story and dracula untold has set itself up asits own beast offering the impaler in a different flavour .\nit was a great weekend getaway from the city . it is truly worth visiting , lovely view , amazing terraces from where you can enjoy what romania has to offer . the restaurant staff was extremely polite and the food was excellent ! dracula desert !\nstoker also relies heavily on the conventions of gothic fiction , a genre that was extremely popular in the early nineteenth century . gothic fiction traditionally includes elements such as gloomy castles , sublime landscapes , and innocent maidens threatened by ineffable evil . stoker modernizes this tradition in his novel , however , moving from the conventional setting of dracula\u2019s ruined castle into the bustle of modern england . as stoker portrays the collision of two disparate worlds\u2014the count\u2019s ancient transylvania and the protagonist\u2019s modern london\u2014he lays bare many of the anxieties that characterized his age : the repercussions of scientific advancement , the consequences of abandoning traditional beliefs , and the dangers of female sexuality . to this day , dracula remains a fascinating study of popular attitudes toward sex , religion , and science at the end of the nineteenth century .\ni could go on , but you get the pointy - point ( it ' s another bloody stake to the heart ) . still , in spite of the rich vein of vampire flicks - more than enough to slake the thirst of any bloodsucker fiend - the fact remains that pop cultural works pegged on the dracula legend will always get more instant attention and , most likely , reach audiences and reap the subsequent rewards . only the twilight series and adaptations of anne rice novels really compete with dracula ' s predominance , and all of them have literary roots accounting for their considerable success .\ndracula started eliminating any possible competition for his position as ruler . he also used extremely harsh methods to bring law and order to wallachia .\none hundred years after dracula began his reign of terror , a group of christian knights and two women ( for some reason ) \u2013 alina and esme \u2013 seek to deliver a great weapon to leonardo van helsing , so he can destroy dracula once and for all . but the forces of darkness are on their tail and alina and esme are sent off alone with the weapon , while the knights sacrifice themselves to buy the women time . not far up the road , alina and esme are ambushed by a group of thieves led by a handsome fellow who alina almost instantly falls in love with . unbeknownst to the handsome rogue , he possesses a secret that could spell the end of dracula\u2019s reign .\nas i ' ve already noted , as a dracula feature it has an advantage in that it isn ' t a straight do - over of the stoker story but it ' s still possible that overexposure to the eponymous vampire may have a perishing effect on its reception . a key question for connoisseurs of the count ' s countless ( well , somewhere over two - hundred ) iterations : have all these adaptations and representations diluted dracula ' s power and does he still have the ability to excite , tantalise or terrify anybody anymore ? does dracula still have any bite in the 21st century or have we effectively defanged him and made the gripping mythos into something hackneyed ?\n1000 - - the pechenegs , cumans and uzes controlled the territory of romania .\nimmortal as he is , dracula never dies - in spite of multiple stakings we ' ve got as evidence on film - but he can die at the box office if drac - apathy sets in . the recent cancellation of nbc ' s own tv re - imagining with jonathan rhys - meyers in the lead role may be a sign of that . then again , the popularity of the re - commissioned penny dreadful - which draws upon dracula lore in the mix of its vintage horror lit ensemble mix - suggests otherwise . regardless , those two are small - screen serials and it ' ll be interesting to see how dracula untold fares as it flies into movie theatres .\n1962 ( june 16 / 17 ) - - as part of his guerrilla war , dracula and some of his men attempted to assassinate mehmed .\ngreat place to visit trying to pass the carpathians mountains to moldavia ! the panorama is absolutly stunning ! something to be remembered ! ! hotel - there are minuses but there are a lot of things that compensate . restaurant - great waiters ; recomand the dracula desert !\nwhen guests stay at the property they check out how quiet the room is , how friendly the staff are and more .\nwith lacklustre direction , cheap sets , poor cgi and ropey fight choreography , there\u2019s little visual stimulus to make up for the mediocre cast . the highlight of the film is the part animated prologue which is actually reasonably well done . overall this is not a film that will compare favourably to the dracula canon . it\u2019s hardly the worst , although there have been some so bad they become comically good . dracula - philes may get a kick out of this , though i doubt it . for everyone else it\u2019s not really worth your time .\ndracula has that power to heal wrath ( i mean lich king ) even he repaired the broken armor chest , the thing about this movie is that the makers don ' t know the real good story bout count dracula , vlad the impaler . the castle design ha ha even in games the 3d designs are better . . so much supernatural ( the tv show ) here . . demons , undead etc . but not a story bout vampires . . . my votes - 15 / 10 the best char with hugh jackman - van helsing 2004 and in my opinion if the director was another , someone who has made high rated movies could make this so much better for watchin and excitement . . . but as i can see this director should stay on the path to make some bad horror movies , don ' t give him a chance to make another disaster movie like he has done right now about dracula the blond gay . .\nyes . . the cgi is pretty poor and the stagery ditto , but i like the plot - twists to the usual told story of the evil dracula and the effort of telling a lovestory instead - of a monster with a longing human heart ( beauty and the beast - like ) . and though i ' m not impressed by the general acting performance , luke roberts ( dracula ) is an exception . styling him perfectly like a castlevania character and roberts ' downplayed expressions - and sudden emotional explosions - makes the character very interesting . his almost aristocratic facial features certainly doesn ' t hurt . the fiennes - brothers would have been a good choice too - especially joseph . all in all a decent watch .\nin 2000 , to promote the film ' s premiere , usa network held a sweepstakes contest with a grand prize of $ 5 , 000 to the lucky person who can correctly identify five myths of dracula as depicted in this film .\nvan helsing and the others raid dracula\u2019s castle . van helsing is struck down in a swordfight with wrath . lucian rescues alina . vampire women attack van helsing after dracula confronts him . esme and andros find van helsing . a succubus distracts andros by pretending to be his dead sister demetria . lucian and alina fight their way to the others . van helsing realizes that he will turn into a vampire . he uses his crossbow to tear down the ceiling . the shaft of daylight destroys him and the other vampires .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\n1443 - 1447 - - second reign of vlad ii . he regained the throne with the help of the turks , but was able to get along with the hungarians .\n\ub207 the setting is great , restaurant serves excellent food and the staff are friendly .\n1330 - - basarab i defeated the hungarians under carol robert of anjou at the battle of posada , thereby gaining the independence of wallachia . the house of basarab was founded by basarab i . the ruler of wallachia was a vassal of the king of hungary .\nthis is a different version of dracula , though it is one that is not completely satisfying or even necessary . at least the production value , which is exceptional for a smaller film of this scope , helps keep eyes transfixed on the screen , even when the other elements do not .\nwith supernatural shenanigans going down - enter baba yaga and gypsy magic - and visual effects rendering a vivid picture of an ancient world gripped in warfare and fantastical action , dracula untold is an alluring entity . even more than the promise of charles dance as vampire caligula , however , it ' s the premise that is probably the most powerful draw . dracula untold : what secrets are yet to be shared ? what do we not yet know about a literary legend whose name resonates through the ages ?\ni don ' t believe that that ' s the case and i don ' t fear the very worst , but i ' m aware that others will be eyeing up dracula untold with that kind of attitude . it ' s an understandable attitude , and if this fresh fang feature lacks any vitality , entertainment value or sense of inventiveness critics will savage it . the savaging will be accompanied with an unholy amount of puns and pithy wordplay , and the best of the worst will be\nanother dull dracula do - over ? bloody hell . count me out .\nthe worst of the worst will be\nit sucks .\n1476 ( december ) - - death of vlad iii dracula . some sources say he died in battle with the turks . another say he was assassinated . and still another say he was struck down by one of his own men in the battle .\nthere ' s plenty of scope for that story and i ' d say that dracula deserves this treatment . the beauty of bram stoker ' s magnum opus is in the eerie mystery surrounding its eponymous character - a figure shrouded in mythology only fleshed out by the mixed accounts and experiences of a variety of first - person narrators whose testimonies combine for an epistolary novel . so much is left to the imagination , and that has allowed a multitude of filmmakers and actors ample space to visualise dracula in their own unique fashion .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\n1408 - - king of hungary sigismund founded the order of the dragon , an order of selected nobles . its creed was designed to gain political favor for the church and to protect the hungarian - romanian royal family from the ottoman empire .\nvlad obtains funding from the catholic king of hungary to fight the turks . he pushes the turks back but eventually they return . his failures and a false report of his betrayal of the hungarians causes the king of hungary to throw him in the dungeon . when the king learns that it was a false report and that he needs help again against the turks , he has vlad released .\nthe 16 - bit renditions of the game were straightforward hack and slash games where players had to slash generic enemies in order to get to dracula . there is a time limit that forces players to move quickly around the levels . each chapter of the game starts off with a cover from a book . checkpoints are used to maintain progress in a level after losing a life . each level has a daytime and night time equivalent . a boss appears at the end of each night time level in order to test the playing skills and to reinforce the concepts that were taught in the daytime version of the level .\n1436 - 1442 - - first reign of vlad ii . threatened with invasion , he promised the turkish sultan to be a vassal and turned his two younger sons over to the turks as hostages . dracula was treated harshly , often being whipped , while his younger brother became the sexual property of the sultan ' s son , converted to islam and was accepted at court .\nif you\u2019ve ever felt that there weren\u2019t quite enough cinematic offerings about dracula , then you might be pleased to know the just for good measure we have another adaptation coming straight to netflix . hollywood hasn\u2019t been blessed with originality for years , and in recent times the amount of sequels , remakes , re - imaginings , or rip offs has become almost epidemic . as such this low budget fantasy adventure opts for one of cinemas most overused antagonists , dracula .\ndracula untold is more likely to draw in folk than a film called ' birth of a vampire ' , even though the latter sounds like a bloody exciting night out at the flicks . that ( un ) hallowed name has a hold over popular consciousness and that ' s both down to the literary legacy and the cinematic heritage . it ' s probably fair to state that , in the modern age , the force of the title is mostly due to iconic screenworks that continue to cast shadows and haunt us almost a century after the character ' s first motion picture manifestation .\nthe answer , i suppose , can only be assessed on a case - by - case basis and depends on the filmmakers and - most crucially - the actor portraying the most infamous of all fictional ( ? ) vampires . you can do a hell of a lot with that hoary old monster , and dracula is a great role for inspired creators to get their teeth into .\naccording to the film ' s ending , the spirit of dracul does not stay dead for long .\n1431 - - vlad ii was titled into the order of the dragon by holy roman emperor sigismund .\n1444 - - the king of hungary , ladislaus iii of poland , launched the varna campaign in an effort to drive the turks out of europe . governor - general john hunyadi demanded that vlad ii , as a member of the order of the dragon and a vassal of hungary , join the effort against the turks . when vlad declined , the pope demanded that he send his son mircea ii instead .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 11 / 28 / 2016 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\nby most biblical accounts , abel was considered the good brother while cain was the bad seed , slaying his sibling reportedly out of jealousy or some petty reason . so it is slightly mystifying that dracula is descended from abel while the hero is connected to cain , instead of the other way around . although the movie does make an effort to justify this by saying that god wanted to turn the lightbringer into an instrument of divine retribution to atone for its use as history\u2019s first murder weapon .\nis this a plan spawned from creative desire or simply a push towards mega - profit off the back of famous names ? is this going to harm both the legacy of the 1930s - ' 40s heyday and the literary legend of all the iconic characters involved ? only time will tell and , once again , it depends a great deal on the artists involved and the motivations driving them . coming back to dracula , as a fan of stoker ' s fiend i optimistically hope that moviemakers adapt him with sincere intentions , and not as ' dracsploitation ' .\nwilliam brent bell ( the devil inside ) is directing the project , which has begun production , shooting in victoria , british columbia , and the surrounding community .\n\ub209 there is not enough light blocking so if you need darkness to sleep its not very good . we stayed at the suite and woke up in the midlle of the night because we heard the neighbors shower .\n\ub207 very theatrical and atmospheric , seems to be by far the best hotel in the centre of turda .\nrooms are not large but the beds are the most comfortable we had in our entire stay in romania .\nwe ' ll find out with this new quasi - adaptation as it goes back to before bram stoker ' s novel to showcase vlad the impaler ' s inauspicious metamorphosis into monstrous familiar form . it ' s something we haven ' t seen much on screen , in spite of the sheer quantity of diverse dracula flicks that have been made over the decades .\nnonetheless , no matter how distinct and artistically brilliant each individual new version is , we can ' t escape the fact that this guy ' s constant comebacks are now clich\u00e9 . listen to them . the children of the night ? no that ' s ac / dc ' s back in black on your mental soundtrack as you encounter another dracula screen return .\noff the top of my head , only francis ford coppola ' s take ( official title : bram stoker ' s dracula ) has ventured into that territory and really left a resonant mark . the opening sequence where gary oldman gets swept up in grief - rage , desecrates a crucifix and drinks a lot of blood is probably my favourite moment in coppola ' s lurid , operatic vision of vlad . now , with dracula untold we get a similar fresh re - spin of the vampiric awakening stretched out to feature length with even more action and supernaturalist verve .\nalternatively - in the most extreme , from a perspective that is pushing maximum scepticism - it could be an uninspired cash - in on an existing brand name that adds nothing and means very little either as blockbuster entertainment , as a work of art or as an extension to the massive mythology that surrounds dracula ."]}

s life have appeared as well , including the 1935 film annie oakley ( which is noted for being historically inaccurate ) , the 1950 film adaptation of annie get your gun , starring betty hutton , and a variety of books geared toward both children and adults .\nmany argue that frankenstein ought to be called\nthe monster\nand not\nfrankenstein\n, however this second film ' s title , bride of frankenstein ( 1935 ) settles this debate once and for all : the monster is nicknamed by his creator ' s last name , and is simply known as\nfrankenstein\n, since\nthe bride\nwas created for him , and not for his doctor creator .\nthough the color was never realized , a great film score was . one of she \u2019s greatest realizations is max steiner\u2019s music . it\u2019s a moderne score that is truly haunting . it gives she its mystery and grandeur . it\u2019s one of his best compositions , in fact . the complete recording has been preserved by the aforementioned james d\u2019arc at byu . i have a copy of this wonderful cd , and i can\u2019t recommend it enough . if anyone ever had to be convinced of the importance of film music , i can think of no better example than this .\nthe duo of pretorius and frankenstein can also be interpreted as a gay couple , who are still able to produce offspring , without any participation of women . film critic gary morris sees the whole film as a gay assault on standard sex roles and family values . in his essay\nat the time of its initial release , she lost money\u2013 $ 180 , 000 to be exact . its disappointing box office eliminated any chance of filming haggard\u2019s sequel , ayesha , the return of she . theatre - goers perhaps expected more non - stop thrills . she didn\u2019t make any money until 1948 when it was re - issued on a double bill with the last days of pompeii . modern reviews of she are all over the map , and i\u2019m amused by many of the \u201ccritiques\u201d i read on the imdb . i\u2019m all for democracy , but the user comments empower morons . she is not camp or kitsch . those are terms viewers use to describe what they don\u2019t understand\u2013 films that can\u2019t be appreciated in the era they were made in . some people call she a laughably bad movie or refer to its dated acting , and i\u2019m not even sure what that term \u201cdated\u201d means . if it doesn\u2019t measure up to modern standards it\u2019s somehow less ? it\u2019s nonsense and low - grade film criticism .\ntilda swinton is an oscar - winning british actress known for her arthouse film roles and for acclaimed performances in more mainstream pictures like michael clayton .\nthe screen ; ' she , ' a lavish screen version of h . rider haggard ' s adventure tale , opens at the music hall .\ntwo years later , when the college chose to integrate its graduate schools , johnson and two male students were offered spots . she quickly enrolled , but left to have children . in 1953 , when she was back in the workforce , johnson joined the west area computing section at langley .\nget the girl to check the numbers . . . if she says the numbers are good , i ' m ready to go .\nelizabeth was played by brunette valerie hobson who replaced blonde mae clarke from the original frankenstein ( 1931 ) due to clarke ' s illness at the time . this change of hair color is a bit jarring since bride of frankenstein ( 1935 ) picks up right where the original leaves off .\n' she who must be obeyed ' rules a ' kingdom of the imagination ' called kor , somewhere deep in the himalayas . and a pretty wild place it is too , replete with cave men and a huge pyramid castle decked out with massive art deco interiors . she is played by helen gahagan , who would go on to become the first woman from california elected to congress for the democats . here , though , she ' s a tyrant who rules by fear and arbitrarily puts people to death because she ' grows weary of them ' . her actions are probably the result of psychosis brought on by being immortal rather than a political ideology , but everyone is still on tender hooks as to what she decides to do next . which\u2026\nfilm actress janet leigh , once tony curtis\u2019s wife , is best remembered for her shower scene as marion crane in alfred hitchcock\u2019s classic thriller , psycho .\nshe - adventure . by h . rider haggard . stars : helen gahagan , randolph scott . leo vincey tries to discover the secret of immortality that\nherewith my reconsideration of she , bringing , i hope , a close to my rediscovery ( thanks to your astute reviewers ) of my earlier review .\ni mentioned the various dvd versions of the film that are available through kino and legend films , but nothing could ever beat the thrill of actually owning a film print , and for a number of years i had a 16mm print which contained some scenes deleted from the film when it was re - released . it wasn\u2019t an original print , just a dupe , but i opened one of my programs at the lasalle bank theatre with it . of course , today few people collect film prints anymore , and that\u2019s a shame . anyone can buy a factory - sealed , shrink - wrapped dvd or order one off amazon , but few will understand the joy of simply holding a film strip up to the light and seeing the images , one atop another , unfold a story on a piece of celluloid . films come alive when projected on film onto a big screen , and people have lost contact with that experience . modern media only simulates the theatrical experience . movies weren\u2019t meant to be watched on a phone or computer , and they certainly weren\u2019t meant to be beamed digitally from a satellite into a cineplex , which will be the wave of the future . film stock itself may die in a cold future of digital pixels , but not the films themselves . as long as there are places like our classic film series , movies like she will indeed live on through the millennium .\nthe bfi today launches britain on film , a new project that reveals hidden histories and forgotten stories of people and places from the uk\u2019s key film and tv archives . from today the archives go digital on bfi player , giving everybody in the uk free access to 1 , 000s of film and tv titles featuring where they live , grew up , went to school , holidayed as a child , or any place of interest in britain . by 2017 , thanks to national lottery funding and the support of the esm\u00e9e fairbairn foundation , 10 , 000 film and tv titles from 1895 to the present day will be digitised .\nher increasingly troubled personal life forced leigh to take occasional breaks from work throughout the 1940s , but she continued to take on many high - profile roles , both on the stage and screen . none could match the critical or commercial success she had won for playing scarlett o & apos ;

she was a key member of max reinhardt\u2019s theatre company ; she was the lover of the german expressionist playwright ernst toller ; bertolt brecht wrote the caucasian chalk circle for her . she is frequently mentioned in the diaries of the writer ana\u00efs nin , who was fascinated by her ;

visually , this film is truly beautiful . did your background give you an edge on documenting this region ?\nvalli : i think it\u2019s very important that the film entertains you . but i think it has to be more . there are so many films that you come out of and you\u2019re just saying , \u201coh , wow , what did i see ? \u201d you forget what you see . you are entertained or kind of bombarded with the music , with incredible images and with special effects . you come out of it and it\u2019s like if you ate something , yet you are still hungry . it doesn\u2019t fill you . i think making a film is a huge amount of energy and money and time . and i think a film has to be entertaining first , but it has to be much more than that too . i like a film to make me think , to make me learn things which i don\u2019t know and to make me feel . a film is a way to communicate emotion . it\u2019s not only information , but emotion also . i\u2019m an old - fashioned kind of guy that way .\nit took a little while , but funding came through to continue our film project . in the fall of 2012 , we found ourselves trekking a high - altitude himalayan trail in nepal . i had a camera in one hand and a tripod in the other , and i stopped often to film and soak it all in . i had dreamed of visiting the himalayas of nepal since i was a child .\nvalli : you are the first one who made me think about this . i never thought about the parallel between the two . i guess it does come full circle . we went to shoot this film without any ending . we had eight different endings and we didn\u2019t know which one it was going to be when we started to shoot the film . and it was the 9th different ending that came to our mind , and it came to us so naturally . there was no other possible ending to this film , then this one \u2014 the one that we shot . the eight other endings were fake .\nvalli : it is exactly the same . when you see the snowstorm , it is a real snowstorm . it was in front of the camera and behind the camera . for nine months , we were on the trail of the real caravan . what you see on the screen is what we also experienced as filmmakers . this film is an adventure film , but at the same time it is a document . this is the only film made on tibetan culture . i\u2019m not talking about scorsese \u2018s \u201c kundun , \u201d or jean - jacques annaud \u2018s \u201c seven years in tibet , \u201d about a westerner discovering tibet .\nshot with solar power by himalayan monk ngawang sodpa , the film features united nations mdg honoree the gyalwang drukpa , and indian actor and environmental advocate , aamir khan . the film is executive produced by michelle yeoh ( crouching tiger hidden dragon , james bond : tomorrow never dies ) , narrated by daryl hannah ( kill bill , bladerunner ) , and it is the debut feature documentary from director wendy j . n . lee .\n( c ) 1999 kino international | urltoken | filmed over seven months in the forbidden dolpo region of nepal , himalaya tells the story of a generational struggle for the leadership of a tiny mountain village between its proud old chief and a headstrong young caravanner . the balance of power shifts uneasily as they make their annual salt trek across the himalayas . a visually striking and spiritually captivating portrait of life in one of the world ' s most extraordinary places , himalaya is both intense drama and a gorgeous tapestry of the fast disappearing traditions of tibetan life .\nthis film may not be everyone ' s cup of tea but it is served in a gorgeous and delicate teacup . the story is simple , perhaps too simple . but it is drawn against the magnificent background of nepal . even bad photography would be good in that part of the world but the camera work in himalaya is superb , sensitive and sweeping , richly textured and impressively framed . the most amazing aspect of this rare film is that none of the performers are actors ! they play themselves flawlessly . the faces , frequently in harsh close up , are noble and full of character . hollywood never could duplicate one silver haired old woman who is a living work of art . the children are beautiful and lack any self consciousness whatsoever in front of the camera . utterly amazing ! it ' s a movie for film freaks and those who appreciate fine photography . but somehow the world is a slightly better place because it was made !\nauthor doug prose films on the flanks of a volcano in central mongolia during one of the six scientific expeditions featured in \u201cthe himalaya connection , \u201d which explores the indo - australian - eurasian plate collision . the documentary will air on pbs later this year . credit : diane lamacchia .\nthere is no doubt that mr . valli and his screenwriter , olivier dazat , were motivated by a deep respect for the people of the dolpo . their reverence , and their desire to protect and record a way of life no doubt threatened by the encroachments of modernity , may have prevented them from probing the society too deeply . ' ' himalaya ' ' is a work of polite ethnography , a coffee - table book of a film that invites us to behold an exotic world from a comfortable and complacent distance .\nwhile in nepal on our 2012 trip , we also filmed with bishal upreti , a prominent nepali geologist at tribhuvan university . bishal is a kind person deeply in love with the himalaya . in a film interview , he detailed the range\u2019s many superlatives : earth\u2019s highest peaks ; earth\u2019s largest block of uplifted terrain , when combined with the tibetan plateau ; the creator of the indian monsoon ; and the source of freshwater for almost half the people alive today . midway through our interview , he suddenly interrupted himself with a wave of his hand and asked if he could quickly say something nongeologic . bishal looked up at the mountains , smiled , and said , \u201cwhen you are in the himalaya , and when you go to those serene places below those snow peaks , it is the dream of a lifetime . it\u2019s so wonderful to be there ; unless you are there , you will never realize what you are missing ! \u201d i was amazed . even nepalis , most of whom do not live in the shadow of the great peaks , dream of going to them . our documentary begins with bishal\u2019s thoughts and dreams of the himalaya .\nmountainfilm ' s sponsors choose to partner with us for more than just return on investment considerations ; they strongly believe in mountainfilm ' s mission to use the power of film , art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world .\n( indiewire / 06 . 22 . 01 ) \u2014 in many ways , eric valli has been researching his feature film debut , \u201c himalaya , \u201d for almost twenty years . an acclaimed photographer , whose work has been published in national geographic , the new york times magazine , smithsonian and life , valli has created a universal tale of love , life , betrayal and death \u2014 set against the unforgiving nature of the northeastern dolpo region in nepal . valli has lived in the dolpo region for nearly two decades , and valli\u2019s two best friends were the inspiration for the film\u2019s main characters , tinle and norbou . valli has also written numerous books about his adopted country . and in 1992 , he was awarded the gurka dakshin baho from the king of nepal , in honor of valli\u2019s body of work about nepal .\nthe dvd manages to enhance an already extraordinary film with many extras . it includes audio commentary by dirctor eric valli , a 26 -

australian plate below the eurasian plate . no one knows where the end of the plate is , but it\u2019s somewhere under tibet . tibet\u2019s geology is rooted in the ongoing plate collision and rise of the himalayas , and it is subject to damaging earthquakes . this seemed like a fantastic opportunity to enhance our documentary\u2019s story both scientifically and aesthetically . the film trip went forward in october 2016 , wrapping up just as season -

honored tradition . a challenge ensues , between a rebellious young villager and the elder . what follows is a struggle against nature , pride and ego .\nhimalaya\ntells the story of a village , which since time immemorial , has engaged in a winter trek to bring salt to its people and send out goods to be traded . the journeys are conducted by yak caravans . for many years the old chief , tinle , led the treks , but he retired in favor of his son . now his son is dead , his body brought back to the village by karma , who wants to take his place at the head of the caravans .\nless than a year later , we were back in the region for an unrelated ( or so we thought ) film trip to bangladesh , where we met up with a group of geologists and students from bangladeshi and american universities . when landing in dhaka , one descends to a billiard - table flat landscape , a plain of sediments eroded from the himalaya range by mighty rivers like the ganges and brahmaputra . it\u2019s not a place where a geologist would expect to find major earthquake faults . but history documents two megaquakes here in the last 500 years . when we visited in 2013 , geologists had yet to put a rock hammer to a major fault in bangladesh ; they still haven\u2019t . while some smaller faults crop out at the surface , most , including all the most important ones , are blind , buried deep under himalayan muds . the hunt was turning to the deployment of seismometers , gps antennae and drill rigs .\ngrain . despite tinle\u2019s edict , karma sets out to follow the path on his own ; when tinle\u2019s younger son norbu ( karma tensing nyama lama ) declines his father\u2019s request to lead the journey , the aging leader takes it upon himself to lead the yaks across the mountains , with tinle and karma meeting along the way . himalaya : l\u2019enfance d\u2019un chef was shot on location in the himalayas , with a tibetan cast and french camera crew , resulting in some dazzling footage of the rugged , unspoiled beauty of the mountain ranges .\nhimalaya -

- as in\na time for drunken horses\n( 2000 ) , about the kurdish people of iran , who use mule caravans to transport contraband truck tires into iraq . we suspect that the story of\nhimalaya\nre - creates a time that has now ended , but no : such caravans still exist , and were the subject of\nthe saltmen of tibet ,\na 1997 documentary by ulrike koch .\neric valli : sure , working as a photographer for 18 years now has been great teaching for me . people say , \u201ceric , we see so many of your pictures in the film ; we see your style . \u201d sure , but it\u2019s my first feature film . i had a big meeting with the two directors of photography ( eric guichard and jean - paul meurisse ) and we looked at all of my pictures . and we said that for certain scenes i wanted certain light , and for this other scene i want certain framing , very often similar to my pictures . but it wasn\u2019t my work to be behind the camera ; it was to be director . i had total trust with the two d . o . p . s , who did a fantastic job . so i let them be free , very often sticking an eye in the viewfinder , but mainly focusing on the biggest challenge of this film , which was acting . because these people not only have never seen a movie camera in their life , but most of these people have never even seen a film in their life . what was acting for them ? i speak their language . i had spent two years with them before , so i knew these people and i built up a fantastic relationship with them . but i was asking them to do things that they had never thought about . it\u2019s within their tibetan tradition to make a testimony of their history . when an important person dies in their community , you write a biography . so , somehow they understood the process of it . we weren\u2019t using a pen on paper anymore . we were using a camera , a tape recorder and a crew . but it was the same thing \u2014 we were making a testimony of their own life \u2014 and this they understood very well . but they didn\u2019t understand what was acting .\nace kvale , a photographer who has captured extreme environments and rich cultures around the world , first met dr . geoff tabin \u2014 co - founder of the himalayan cataract project \u2014 on assignment for outside magazine . what grew from that encounter was a lasting friendship and a photo project that has spanned years . kvale has been documenting the work of tabin , whose nonprofit aims to eradicate blindness by setting up eye surgery clinics in sub - saharan africa and the himalaya , for more than a decade . the result , kvale says , represents some of the most important work of his life .\nmr . moti lal nepali , a dalit activist from nepal , will give a talk about the socio - political status of dalits in nepal . a short film , yash kumar\u2019s bato muniko phool \u2013 the prologue ( flowers under the path \u2013 the prologue ) , will be screened , revealing the daily struggles of dalits in nepali villages today . dr . drona rasali will explain nepaldalitinfo network\u2019s role in fostering awareness of dalit issues in nepal . talk starts 4 : 30 .\nin the aftermath of the quake , we obtained additional financial support to incorporate the lessons learned from the gorkha earthquake into outreach materials to accompany our documentary project . in 2016 , we returned to nepal to film the conditions on the ground a year after the quake struck . among numerous scenes , we shot footage of thickets of steel rebar poking from new construction sites all over kathmandu valley , as well as the tilingatar higher secondary school , which survived thanks to being retrofitted before the earthquake .\nkeith ladzinski is an adventure photographer and filmmaker whose work has taken him to remote reaches of all seven continents \u2014 from the forests of south africa to the beaches of iceland . along with contributing to such magazines as outside , discover and men\u2019s journal , he is the co - founder of 3 strings productions in boulder , colorado . he was recently assigned to document the effects of climate change in national parks for national geographic and has a film , poumaka , premiering in this year\u2019s festival .\nin a remote village in the himalayas , the wheat crop isn ' t sufficient to feed the people ; salt has to be transported across the mountains and sold in order to survive . on the latest expedition , the old chief ' s son has died ; tinle , the chief , refuses to accept karma , the obvious choice for leader , instead insisting his small grandson , pasang , be the new village headman \u2013 this leads to a conflict during the next , dangerous , trek across the mountains . the story of himalaya is a timeless on . french director eric valli tells it like a legend , and it ' s one he knows well \u2013 a travel - writer and short filmmaker , he obviously loves this remote part of the world and the people who live here . it ' s a simple but quite affecting saga \u2013 the film ' s main pleasures lie in the way it looks . this is definitely a big screen experiences \u2013 the images of this mountainous landscape are always impressive , especially in one notable scene \u2013 evoking the wages of fear \u2013 in which the villagers , taking a short cut on a crumbling narrow track high above an azure blue lake , find themselves in considerable danger . the mostly non - professional actors give totally convincing performances .\nset in the mountains of tibet near nepal , this film begins with mountaineer karma ( gurgon kyap ) returning from a long journey with bad news : the son of tinle ( thilen lhondup ) , the village leader , died in the midst of the trek , leaving behind a wife , pema ( lhapka tsamchoe ) , and a son , pasang ( karma wangiel ) . tinle cannot forgive karma for the death of his son , and he banishes him from an upcoming voyage , in which a yak caravan will bring a load of salt across the mountains to be exchanged for\nthe hotel himalaya is on a quiet side street , yet centrally located in frankfurt . both the trade fair and to the railway station , it takes just a few minutes . also the city center can be reached quickly from here . you can reach us with regional and long distance services , as well as by tram and subway ( s - bahn and u - bahn ) from the station \u201chauptbahnhof\u201d . even the remote bus terminal is located directly at the main station ( south side ) . from the main train station by bus number 37 go on to stop \u201chafenstra\u00dfe\u201d . from there you can reach the hotel on foot after about 150m . for our guests arriving by car , on - site parking is available for a fee .\nthere are many more amazing geologic surprises centered on the mighty himalayas beyond what i\u2019ve shared here and that we are very excited to present in our film . we are also thrilled to feature some of the geoscientists who have been working to better understand the nature of the powerful tectonic collision of plates lying below a large portion of earth\u2019s human population . the scientists\u2019 determined efforts are not only uncovering some of earth\u2019s wondrous inner workings in this region , but are also illuminating the extreme dangers these processes pose , so that as few people as possible are injured or killed in the next massive earthquake .\nmuch of the film is simply pictorial , as karma and tinle make rival journeys , and tinle ominously squints at the clear sky and foresees snow . there is one passage of pure suspense , as part of a narrow mountain path slips away , and the yaks and their masters have to traverse a dangerous stretch ; we are reminded of similar situations involving trucks in\nthe wages of fear\nand\nsorcerer .\nthe actors are not experienced and sometimes simply seem to be playing men very much like themselves , but we are not much concerned with subtle drama here . the real movie takes place in our minds , as we think about these people who share the planet with us right now , and yet lead unimaginably different lives . would it be a trial or a blessing to be a member of a community like this ? that would depend , i imagine , on whether your view of the world has expanded to encompass more than villages and salt journeys . there must be something deeply satisfying about knowing your place in an ancient social structure and fitting into it seamlessly . so i thought as i watched this film , although it did not make me want to lead a yak caravan .\nin the caste - based social structure of nepal , at least one - seventh of the population , so - called \u201cdalits\u201d , have experienced discrimination , marginalization , and oppression for centuries . mr . moti lal nepali , a dalit activist from nepal , will give a talk about the socio - political status of dalits in nepal . a short film , yash kumar\u2019s bato muniko phool \u2013 the prologue ( flowers under the path \u2013 the prologue ) , will be screened , revealing the daily struggles of dalits in nepali villages today . dr . drona rasali will explain nepaldalitinfo network\u2019s role in fostering awareness of dalit issues in nepal .\nvalli : oh , it\u2019s a great love story ! why such a woman ? why such a man ? it\u2019s always difficult to explain . i started to travel when i was very young and i got hooked to this life , to this life of a nomad ; and learning so much , being very curious and learning so many ways of life . i was in search in our differences . and now i\u2019ve made this film , which is about our similarities . i spent a lot of time in afghanistan , the middle east , india and then i discovered nepal and i fell in love . basically that\u2019s it ; it was very simple .\nthis conundrum has given rise to several scientific questions . what is the origin of the stress in the crust that is capable of setting off megaquakes here ? and what geologic forces lifted mongolia high above \u201cnormal\u201d midcontinent elevations ? some theories credited the collision of the indo - australian and eurasian tectonic plates as both the source of the stress and the uplift , even though it is 2 , 000 kilometers to the south , farther than the distance from kansas to new york . as we filmed across mongolia over several weeks , diane and i thought it would be great to film that far - off collision , if we could only obtain the needed funding .\nlater in the interview , bishal expressed acute concern for the people of nepal . he and his colleagues had accumulated data that led them to predict that the next big himalayan earthquake could rupture the main himalaya thrust fault in central nepal at any time . bishal has long been educating the people of nepal about earthquake hazards through the media and public lectures , and he has urged officials to act on behalf of public safety . these were brave actions , as people are often loath to hear or heed such warnings about dangers from natural and uncontrollable forces . thankfully , the efforts bore some fruit . the majority of buildings in nepal were not strong enough to withstand strong earthquake shaking until bishal and his colleagues convinced officials to enact new building codes , which helped keep some new buildings standing , and the people inside them alive , during the gorkha quake .\nvalli : the two main characters are my two best friends , both from the monastery . my one friend is a great artist and lama . and even though i speak their language , i know how to load their yaks , i have spent three years of my life out there , i am still an outsider . and when i saw this great artist , i just thought , hey , this is a way for me to make an insider testimony . and i asked him and his father , \u201cwould you like to travel with me ? and instead of painting gods and demons , would you paint your people ? \u201d so he left his monastery for the first time and he came with me and he discovered life . and when i met thinlen almost 18 or 20 years ago , he is exactly as the character tinle is : he\u2019s the chief of his village , he\u2019s a very charismatic guy . in real life thinlen\u2019s brother was murdered in a feud with another family , but in the film , it was his brother who falls from the cliff . so it is based on real , epic events ; real characters . and i think that\u2019s what gives a lot of power to this film . because these people \u2014 norbou is a real lama , thinlen is a real chief and karma is a real cowboy . every single thing these people do is real . i didn\u2019t have to teach them . it came out ; they sweated it out .\nvalli : there are some great lessons , like when tinle asks his son , \u201cwhy did you come with me ? \u201d he says , \u201cone day my teacher ( lama ) told me , \u201cwhenever there are two trails open in front of you , always choose the hardest one ; the one which will squeeze the best out of you . \u201d this sentence was told to me about 12 or 13 years ago , and when it was told to me by this old man in a cave , i just thought , what is the meaning of life if you don\u2019t give it your best ? what is the meaning of life if you don\u2019t realize your dreams ; if you don\u2019t try ? it\u2019s a film about power , courage and tolerance .\nproducer diane lamacchia and i were traveling with karl and his group of scientists , students and local support crews to shoot footage of the expedition as it traversed remote central mongolia on a quest to better understand this land\u2019s many geologic mysteries . the funding we had at the time from the national science foundation covered filming and production for a short video about the research project . we had no idea that this trip , taken in 2011 , would be the first of six to asia to shoot footage for what would become a full - length television documentary , \u201cthe himalaya connection , \u201d to begin airing on pbs in north america later this year . nor did we imagine then that the documentary\u2019s story would center on the great himalayan mountains \u2014 a geologic feature that offers daily benefits to 45 percent of the world\u2019s people \u2014 and on the earth scientists who , through their research , are working to protect many thousands of those people from the region\u2019s natural hazards . what follows are a few highlights of our long production journey , and some of the things we learned along the way .\nwhile in the region , we also took a short flight , skimming past mount everest , to film in neighboring bhutan . like nepal , bhutan\u2019s entire length straddles the main himalayan thrust fault . that stretch of the fault has not produced a large earthquake since the 1500s , leaving a very worrisome seismic gap . building codes calling for a measure of earthquake resistance were enacted in the late 1990s in the capital , thimphu , and new buildings going up looked to be solidly built in the beautiful city . but what about beyond thimphu ? most houses in the country are constructed in the traditional rammed - earth style , in which outer walls are made of soils pounded and packed by hand between wooden forms . the houses are big , typically three stories . engineers are concerned that these structures offer little defense against horizontal ground shaking . will upgraded building methods , codes and retrofitting take hold in bhutan before their thrust fault slips again ?\nit was during this himalayan trip , in 2012 , that diane and i began talking about creating , in addition to the short film , a television documentary centered on this extraordinary mountain range . in this expanded documentary , mongolia\u2019s uplifted terrain and earthquakes would feature as far - flung artifacts of the tremendous geologic powerhouse created by the collision of the indian and asian plates . but , as usual , we faced the hurdle of raising funds to turn the vision into reality . it was like gazing up at the steep , hand - laid stone steps we encountered on the first day of our himalayan trek \u2014 more than 3 , 000 of them . it\u2019d take time , but we were confident we could get up the steps eventually with a lot of effort . we felt the same way with acquiring the significant level of funding needed for our envisioned television documentary , although it would take a lot more time than a steep climb through the mountains .\nthis is the third film about mountain climbing i ' ve seen in little under a year . first a documentary called meru , then the imax exclusive release called everest . now the koreans tackle the subject . interesting enough , story wise i feel the himalayas is a mix of both movies . the best korean mountaineer goes up a mountain to find the remains of his student who froze to death . based on true events the story focus on mountaineer , hong - gil um , a family man who loves to climb mountains . the movie has a lot to it as we go over hong - gil um preparing for mountain climbing , training others for it , and what happens after it ' s all over . the himalayas tries to be a tear jerker . it does have it ' s moments , but overall it tries hard and gets nothing . it ' s effective in making you not want to go up the mountain . the harsh weather was oh too real , and the visuals sometimes due what the story itself is unable . the movie is just ok , no where near outstanding .\ni\u2019d ridden on a breaking tectonic plate before . on oct . 17 , 1989 , i was editing a film at the u . s . geological survey in palo alto , calif . , when the floor turned to jell - o . rock - sample cabinets stacked to the ceiling flew open , shooting dislodged samples at me . gneiss marked with catalog numbers piled up and blocked my escape through the door , so i just stood there , clutching the editing machines as they tried to dance off the table , and watched the window bow in and out as if made of rubber . miraculously , the glass held , but when i finally got a chance to evacuate , i had to dash light - footed over the chards of many shattered panes in the rest of the building . before the magnitude - 7 . 1 loma prieta earthquake , i thought temblors were exciting and interesting . i had experienced many earthquakes of magnitude 2 and 3 , and a few of magnitude 4 . ever since loma prieta , however , i dread them . and i can relate to the lingering fear that nepalis now carry with them since the magnitude - 7 . 8 gorkha earthquake struck on april 25 , 2015 .\nwith our trip to nepal and bhutan a success , we were in great shape regarding our story and footage needs . diane plunged into scripting and editing , and we worked with a sense of urgency to assemble our final product and get the story out . that\u2019s when the study by some of our film\u2019s \u201ccharacters , \u201d mike steckler , humayun akhter , leonardo seeber and others , was published in nature geoscience in mid - 2016 . what they found was incredible , and not great news for the roughly 140 million people in the region who were sitting on , or within 100 kilometers of , a buried and locked megathrust fault capable of generating a megaquake , perhaps very soon \u2014 or perhaps not for hundreds of years . so important was this discovery that we decided to give it center stage in our documentary , although it meant a great deal of rewriting and re - editing . meanwhile , the publication jolted the media in the region . news pieces with diverse interpretations of the paper\u2019s conclusions appeared . for instance , a television news story in the state of assam , in northeast india , reported that the researchers predicted that a huge earthquake was going to strike on a specific day , july 17 , just six days after the nature geoscience article was published . this caused widespread fear . people could not sleep for days , and many packed their bags for an emergency . in another example , a newspaper piece in india reported that the megaquake could result in the deaths of tens of millions of people . as filmmakers , we wanted to produce a video right away to help the scientists tell the correct story . our solution was to quickly produce a short video , \u201cgiant earthquakes in bangladesh and india ? , \u201d and give it to the scientists , who immediately began screening it in india and bangladesh . it has been translated into bengali and mizo , and can be viewed on youtube at : urltoken ."]}

by - film guide to the franchise so far\n\u2022 this was the most expensive film in the series so far . the train heist sequence alone cost $ 25 million to make , and involved buying a stretch of railway in mexico and an actual train to blow up .\nthe fate of the furious is the first film in a new trilogy . it is known . franchise star vin diesel and long - time writer chris morgan have been trotting out that exact verbiage in interviews over the last few weeks , making it clear that the events of fate will pay off in the ninth and tenth films . so now that we\u2019ve all had a chance to see the movie ( at least judging by those box office returns ) , let\u2019s take a look at the end of fate and what it sets up for the furious films to come .\nbest action sequence ( s ) : there are so many to choose from here , but the heist chase which sees dom and brian drag a huge bank vault along the streets of rio is as joyful as it is nonsensical .\ndom actually bests hobbs ( johnson ) in a fight in fast five , letty beats ufc champion ronda rousey in 7 , and they both know how to handle all the guns in the world by 8 . dom is so hard , that cipher decides he ' s the only man in the world that can handle stealing a nuclear football from the russians in broad daylight , jack bauer - style . there must be something in the los angeles water .\nletty tells him she needs some air and goes out . she is found by dom and a race . the two race , and letty , intrigued by dominic , tells him to follow her . they meet up , and dom tells her that he knows\neverything\nabout her . he begins explaining the scars she has on her and how she got them . he also gives her the famous cross necklace . she grows emotional and leaves .\nmirren : one of the strong themes in the fast and the furious [ movies ] has always been family , that family is important . i think that\u2019s one of the reasons they\u2019re popular films , because that is the one element that everybody all over the world can identify with simply , easily , and directly , so it\u2019s great to see this other level being brought in with the different generations of the family , the fact that family actually goes on through many generations over long periods of time . i thought that that was a nice thing to introduce into the storyline .\nso where in that timeline did they get married ? based on some of those flashbacks\u2014and the timing of it all\u2014it would have to have been during los bandoleros . in other words , they got married between the first and fourth films .\nuncle claude comes to the ardmore beach hotel to see tommy and his wife . at the hotel , with his two granddaughters ruth and sally , uncle claude meets a wise talking employee named letty . . . see full summary \u00bb\nanother quip , uttered by letty , speaking of tommy : \u201che\u2019s not very much to look at , judge , but he does lend atmosphere in the home ! he lends more sphere than atmos , but i like him . \u201d\n\u201ci just don\u2019t do that ; i\u2019m not that girl , you know what i mean ? they\u2019ll probably have to kill letty . again , \u201d she laughed . \u201cthey\u2019d have to kill her again cos she\u2019s no nanny . sorry \u2026\nfun fact : the setting of fast five is foreshadowed in the beginning of fast & furious when letty tells dom , \u201ci hear rio is good this time of year , \u201d while the pair ponder where to escape to next .\nloftin rigged the truck with a dead clutch so the 18 - wheeler could drive without anyone behind the wheel . spielberg filmed the crash with seven cameras from multiple angles to be able to use some editing tricks to stretch out the scene .\nletty was also a capable fighter . she easily punched a security guard to the floor when they tried to stop dominic from attacking tran and also overwlemed several security guards at a party . she also held her own against trained fighter kara ; they were so evenly matched that their fight ended in a draw when they crashed over a balcony and smashed through a table , both too dazed to keep fighting . she did struggle against riley during their fight in the subway , letty being overwelmed , barely preventing the women from handcuffing her to a pole and narrowly escaped an arm lock imposed on her . she did manage to tackle her down a flight of steps though , recovering fast enough to escape as riley was disorientated .\nbut as each movie has gone on they , along with the likes of roman ( tyrese gibson ) , tej ( ludacris ) and han , have become so adept at fist fights and weapons training that they might as well be james bond .\nnathalie emmanuel : the thing i like about ramsey is that she\u2019s an extremely talented hacker and she\u2019s very intelligent and a problem solver . there\u2019s a stigma about women in [ technological ] types of industries or in those types of jobs and i think that it\u2019s really cool that ramsey is so good at what she does . in a way , that character breaks certain stereotypes and also how you might perceive somebody who is into that kind of thing might look or how they might dress or how they might be as a person . i think that she is a normal girl who just so happens to be quite skilled at computers , hacking , coding , and all of that fun stuff . i think that\u2019s a really cool thing that she represents within the franchise , and i also like that she\u2019s sort of independent of this family that\u2019s been established for so long . she\u2019s come in purely on her own merit and her own specific skillset and it\u2019s useful to this group and what they do . as much as she\u2019s become a part of the group , she\u2019s come in independently and i quite enjoy that .\nelsa pataky : it\u2019s beautiful and really sad because i\u2019m a mom too and it\u2019s so difficult to see that story , how it started and how it ends . i think any mom in the world would sacrifice her life for the life of her son . it\u2019s such a big love , and it\u2019s so intense , all the scenes that she has with dom . she\u2019s a police officer , so knows the power of this woman that charlize plays , how dangerous the situation is . she\u2019s suffering and thinking about that helped me a lot with the scene because it breaks my heart . she knew something would happen to [ their son ] if [ dom ] wouldn\u2019t do whatever [ cipher ] wanted . that\u2019s what she focused on \u2014 just save our son .\nletty , dominic and his new crew hijack a truck in the dominican republic narrowly escaping . after dom leaves her she goes to fbi agent brian o - connor to clear dom ' s name in order for him to return home . brian consequently puts letty undercover with arturo braga as a driver running drugs over the us - mexico border . however , after the job is complete she realizes that the leader of the team , fenix calderon , intends to murder the drivers : she escapes in her car .\nin furious 7 , when letty regains her memory , we get a flash of the couple\u2019s wedding day , and we see how they wrapped the necklace around their hands when they said their vows . suddenly , it all makes sense . well , most of it .\ndirector f . gary gray has said the movie\u2019s opening sequence \u2014 in which dom and letty\u2019s cuban honeymoon is interrupted by a drag race through the streets of havana \u2014 wouldn\u2019t have happened without former president barack obama \u201csoftening the relations\u201d between the us and its southern neighbour .\nafter the reveal , some fans are probably left wondering when dom and letty tied the knot . considering the twisted timeline of the fast and furious series , any confusion is certainly understandable . so here\u2019s how the movies break down chronologically , in terms of story : the fast and the furious , 2 fast 2 furious , los bandoleros ( vin diesel\u2019s short film ) , fast & furious , fast five , fast & furious 6 , the fast and the furious : tokyo drift , and then furious 7 ( or rather , furious seven ) .\nwith filmmaker edgar wright , spielberg explained , \u201c [ producer ] george eckstein told me after the network saw it , \u2018well , we\u2019re going back to the desert , they want to push the truck off the cliff again and blow it up again . ' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i\u2019d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that\u2019s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , \u2018if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i\u2019m not going to do it . ' george fought for me , and for himself because he agreed with me . \u201d\n\u201che was a real fucking dude with a big - ass heart . like , fuck talking about doing shit for people , i\u2019m going to go out there and start a charity . hands first . i love that boy so much . we weren\u2019t thinking about anything else , man . \u201d\nthe movie debuted on november 13 , 1971 as abc\u2019s movie of the week , and proved to be so successful that spielberg was given the opportunity to shoot additional footage ( the school bus scene and the railroad crossing scene ) to be able to release it in theaters at feature length .\ndirector rob cohen modeled the film\u2019s third act chases through the los angeles hills on similar san francisco - set scenes in the 1968 car - chase classic bullitt , starring steve mcqueen . cohen loved the movie so much that he cast actor paul walker because he thought he resembled bullitt \u2019s lead actor .\nleticia\nletty\nortiz is the wife of dominic toretto , sister in - law to mia toretto , and the stepmother of brian marcos . a protagonist in the fast and the furious franchise , letty ortiz is the childhood sweetheart of dominic toretto , turned street racer , mechanic and thief . when she volunteered to go undercover to expose arturo braga for the fbi , she was nearly killed and suffered from temporary amnesia as a result . she was later reunited with her family when luke hobbs of the diplomatic security service recruited the likes of dominic toretto and his crew to stop owen shaw .\n\u2022 after the opening sequence , han says he\u2019s planning to go to tokyo \u2013 a reference to his fiery destiny as revealed in tokyo drift . he doesn\u2019t go yet , and keeps promising to go to tokyo for the next two instalments . he finally does so at the end of fast & furious 6 .\nafter all , nothing is sadder than a film franchise that should have ended several installments ago . just ask \u201cdie hard , \u201d \u201clethal weapon , \u201d \u201cthe expendables , \u201d or even \u201cindiana jones . \u201d it would be so sad to see an arthritic dom slide behind the wheel of the latest muscle car .\nletty became involved in street racing in her teens . when she was fifteen years old , she participated in a street race against dominic which resulted in both of their cars crashing . she managed to pull dominic from the wreck of his car , almost losing her arm in the process . [ 3 ]\nah , the classic\ndamn , we shouldn ' t have killed that character off\nproblem . after vin and the guys realised they wanted michelle rodriguez back in the team after letty died in fast & furious , they had to come up with a way of bringing her back from the dead .\nagainst the odds and studio convention , 2001\u2019s the fast and the furious went on to spawn six more supercharged sequels , making stars of its actors . and long before paul walker\u2019s tragic death in 2013 , that cast had become a family both onscreen and off , attracting a loyal and emotionally invested fan following around a hollywood anomaly : the multicultural blockbuster film franchise . now more than ever , rodriguez feels the responsibility of repping the streets from inside the party .\nmia : letty grew up just down the street . she was into cars since she was like ten years old . dom always had her attention . then she turned sixteen . . . brian : and she had dom ' s attention . mia : yeah , it ' s funny how that works out .\nnaturally a success like this needed a sequel . so what if vin diesel wasn\u2019t available ? 2 fast 2 furious arrived in 2003 and introduced roman pearce ( played by tyrese gibson ) . tej ( aka ludacris ) is also in the film along with eva mendes . really , those are the most important plot points right there .\nfor years now , fans have watched dom risk his life to hold onto letty\u2019s cross necklace . but why ? just because it reminds him of her ? well , now we know : it\u2019s because they\u2019re married , and have been for some time ! as for the necklace , we learned that it\u2019s their version of wedding rings .\nend credit sequence : han\u2019s death from tokyo drift is caused by jason statham\u2019s character , deckard shaw , the brother of luke evans ' furious 6 villain , owen shaw ( who previously mentioned his brother in the scene where he confronts dom after his street race with letty ) , which leads directly into the plot of furious 7 .\nthe performances from the entire cast are great , particularly the central foursome of letty , grace , tom , and harry . at times very exaggerated , the performances work because they suit the film\u2019s outrageous mood . and though exaggerated , the performances are still very natural in the sense that the characters seem real and the dialogue isn\u2019t stiffly delivered .\nnow , if you still haven\u2019t watched los bandoleros , it\u2019s the short film that vin diesel wrote and directed in order to explain what dom had been up to after leaving brian\u2014and the country\u2014in the first film . in it , dom and letty reunite in the dominican republic , which is where we find them at the start of fast & furious .\nso ahead of the debut of furious 7 , take a look back at all the fun facts surrounding the making of the movie , including who originally wanted out of the first film , the actor who asked for a role in the franchise after it became a big hit , and the easter egg that connects the worlds of fast & furious and herbie .\nthe harrowing sequence was originally supposed to be the ending of fast five , and got so far into the production process of that movie that is was storyboarded and pre - visualized before being scrapped for budgetary reasons . the leftover storyboards and pre - viz were simply grafted on to furious 6 and updated to account for new characters and the new movie\u2019s plot .\nthe premise has high potential for hilarity and it fully lives up to that potential , which has been pretty rare in my viewing of comedies from any era . so often films in this genre seem promising , only to fall flat due to bad casting or a poor script . ( still , when done right , it is one of my favorite genres . )\nthe logistics of the vault heist were so difficult that , like the train sequence , the scene was almost scrapped entirely . to portray a large vault being dragged by diesel and walker\u2019s characters on - screen , six separate vaults were built to accommodate certain shots that were needed , including a full - size vault and a lightweight vault that could be easily towed .\ndear universal , vin diesel , & family , a plea . after eight films and $ 4 . 4 billion and counting , it\u2019s time for the \u201cfast and the furious\u201d series to eye the exit ramp . i\u2019m not saying you have to send dom toretto into the great garage in the sky without giving him and letty and hobbs and the [ \u2026 ]\nit was also the first time in eight years that diesel , walker , and jordana brewster had appeared on - screen together as their characters since the first film . though michelle rodriguez returned as letty ortiz , diesel is the only original cast member she shares screen time with , because her character ( allegedly ) dies off - screen after the opening sequence .\nluke hobbs is sitting at his desk at the dss offices when u . s . customs agent , monica fuentes , presents him with a file on a heist committed in berlin . attached to the file is a photograph of letty [ note 5 ] suggesting that not only is she alive but she is involved in large - scale criminal activity . [ 4 ]\nwhen dominic discovers vince has associated himself with hernan reyes after attempting to steal the device in the gt40 . dominic accuses vince of betrayal , but vince defends his character , and makes a point to say that dominic ' s failure to listen to him about brian o ' conner resulted in the loss of their home , family and the death of letty . [ 4 ]\nwho could have ever thought that the fast and the furious , a 2001 film about illegal street racing and michelle rodriguez\u2019s lack of facial expressions , would grow into such a mega success ? this is a series that has gone from being need for speed : underground the movie to kill bill but with cars and now involves charlize theron with a submarine in wintery landscapes . how in the world did we get this far ? more importantly , what various plot twists should you be aware before watching the fate of the furious , the eighth film in the long - running saga ?\nhowever , she is chased by calderon who manages to flip her car leaving her injured in the wreckage . as calderon approaches intending to shoot her , he instead shoots and blows up the car after letty crawled out of it . the explosion throws her into the underbrush , and calderon leaves her for dead . brian was left to assume that she had died as did dominic and mia .\nin order to have the real actors behind the wheel of cars going upwards of 80 to 100 miles per hour , a special rig was built by second unit director and stunt coordinator mic rodgers that the filmmakers dubbed the \u201cmic rig . \u201d it consisted of a high - powered truck with a long chassis in the back on which the bodies of the custom cars in the movie could be interchanged . a stunt driver drove the high - speed truck while the actors were behind the wheel of the dummy car in back , which made it look like they were really driving at dangerous speeds .\nthe film also has some visual interest . some of letty\u2019s costumes have really odd details to them \u2014 an asymmetrical hat , a jacket adorned by an enormous bow that\u2019s half her size . ( see the video below for a look at that outfit . ) in the beauty parlor scenes , though they are few , the old hair / makeup / spa contraptions are fun to see as well .\n\u201cthey\u2019re not going to bring your mum in unless there\u2019s something down the line . there\u2019s so much opportunity for what we can understand about where the shaw family is really from , what they\u2019re really capable of . . . i don\u2019t want to spoil what they\u2019ve got coming , but they\u2019ve got some really good stuff coming . that would include helen and , obviously . . . i\u2019m not gonna say anything ! \u201d\nso , how come everyone in tokyo drift is using flip phones and other gadgets that are nearly 10 years old ? the last time we checked , tokyo is pretty ahead of the curve with this kind of stuff . plus , how come sean ( lucas black ) has aged about 9 years in between scenes after dom shows up ? there ' s some weird timey - wimey voodoo at work here , clearly .\nrodriguez sat out the second and third films , she says , after diesel opted out . but when the studio and filmmakers floated the idea of bringing the gang back together as the franchise was rebirthed under director justin lin , letty ortiz gave fans two of their biggest surprises\u2014a shocking offscreen demise in 2009\u2019s fast & furious , and a cathartic return from the dead in the closing moments of 2011\u2019s fast five .\nchronologically , the film segues into the fast and the furious from 2009 . letty is dead ( like , totes , for real ) , having worked with a drug dealer named braga and paid with her life . dom is determined to find her killer and brian is somehow working for the fbi ( and falling for dom\u2019s sister mia ) again . in the midst of all this , a convoluted plan is cooked up to have dom and brian serve as braga\u2019s drivers . lo and behold , however , letty was working undercover with brian . following some unnecessary twists and turns , braga is finally apprehended . though brian tries to gain clemency for dom , the latter is sentenced to jail for 25 years . psych ! brian and mia in fact free dom because this franchise just has to keep going . next stop : rio !\nso , a little retconning was needed by the time fast & furious 6 rolled around . it turns out she was alive all this time ! not only is this a silly plot twist ( if this happened in real life it would have at least made the news ) , but she just magically got back her memories for no apparent reason at the end of furious 7 . why ? don ' t worry about it .\nafter the lobotomy rage hit american shores , dr . walter freeman took to traveling the country in his\nlobotomobile\n\u009d ( no , really ) , performing the technique on everyone from catatonic schizophrenics to disaffected housewives . his road - ready procedure involved inserting a small ice pick into the brain through the eye socket and wiggling it around a bit . while some doctors thought he ' d found a way to save hopeless cases from the horrors of life - long institutionalization , others noted that freeman didn ' t bother with sterile techniques , had no surgical training whatsoever , and tended to be a bit imprecise when describing his patients ' recovery .\noriginally the tank sequence was supposed to take place in the streets of london , and the production planned to re - create 12 city blocks on a soundstage to shoot what they needed ( london city officials wouldn\u2019t grant the production access to city roads because the olympics were happening at the same time they shot the movie , so most of the street scenes were shot in glasgow , scotland as a stand - in for the uk capital ) .\ntommy\u2019s uncle claude ( claude gillingwater ) , a millionaire , comes to town for a visit . he and his granddaughters , flapper girls ruth ( marion byron ) and sally ( helen foster ) , are staying at the posh beach hotel where letty\u2019s salon is . not knowing who claude or the girls are , she tries to sell them salon services . claude takes an instant dislike to her , not realizing she\u2019s married to tommy .\nwhen she arrives back to shaw ' s lair , he questions her to see if she remembers dom at all , to which she says she doesn ' t . later , she meets up with dom ' s team again , when going to investigate a phone call made by the man who made special vehicles for them . a shoot out ensues , in which her team mate , ivory , is killed by gisele . letty tries to escape through the subways , but is followed by riley . the two fight each other , and letty tackles riley down the stairs , and finally escapes on a subway train . she heads back to shaw , and tells him that ivory was killed , but his lack of caring frustrates her . shaw then comes to her and tells her that he has a soft spot for her because she is a blank page who remembers nothing .\nshaw is captured , and they all go back to the military base . when the guy in charge attempts to arrest letty too for working with shaw , dom steps forward and says ,\nshe ' s always been one of us\n. brian then goes up to her to apologize , feeling that everything is his fault , to which she tells him that no one makes her do something she doesn ' t want to do .\n\u201cthe reason dom went to jail in the original film is he did some violence against someone who hurt his family . deckard\u2019s story is not too far away from that . the reason he comes after our guys ( in f7 ) is because he has a similar code \u2014 he looks after family . so . . . that felt like you might be able to turn him , in a way that you could start understanding what his motivations were . \u201d\n\u201ci was really worried that it would be a cover - up , that it wouldn\u2019t be a legacy , that it would be a machine thing\u2014\u2018what\u2019s next , what\u2019s next ? \u2019\u201d said rodriguez . \u201cman , [ universal ] surprised me with their respect . they were human . they had heart . and they really gave a shit . everybody involved , down to catering . they all put so much heart into it and i\u2019m proud . i think he would be . \u201d\nthe coma - therapy trend began in 1927 . viennese physician manfred sakel accidentally gave one of his diabetic patients an insulin overdose , and it sent her into a coma . but what could have been a major medical faux pas turned into a triumph . the woman , a drug addict , woke up and declared her morphine craving gone . later , sakel ( who really isn ' t earning our trust here ) made the same mistake with another patient\u2014who also woke up claiming to be cured . before long , sakel was intentionally testing the therapy with other patients and reporting a 90 percent recovery rate , particularly among schizophrenics . strangely , however , sakel ' s treatment successes remain a mystery .\nlike her husband dominic , letty is an extremely skilled race car driver . she was able to outrace a contestant at a race with relative ease and was recruited to be a part of braga ' s drug cartel , which required driving prowess to cross the border at high speed . she was even a match for dominic , narrowly losing to him in their one on one race in london , despite having held the lead for the majority of the race .\nnow the fast and the furious : tokyo drift , released in 2006 , comes into play . it\u2019s mostly about some brat who can\u2019t drift learning to do so thanks to han\u2019s teachings . han is assassinated in the film , a race is had and the brat rules tokyo or something . in the end of fast and furious 6 however , we learn that it was deckard shaw , owen shaw\u2019s brother played by \u201care they seriously trying to make this cast manlier\u201d jason statham .\nthose women include michelle rodriguez ( letty ) , jordana brewster ( mia ) , nathalie emmanuel ( ramsey ) , elsa pataky ( elena ) , nathalie kelley ( neela ) , and helen mirren ( magdalene ) , who spoke with ew about their characters , how those roles evolved over the years , the state of women in action films today , why representation in the genre matters , and how the fast films ( and hollywood ) can improve on that representation .\nsomehow , dom was able to make contact with magdalene ( who presumably just happened to be in new york at the time ) , despite being under the watchful eye of cipher and her goons . he was then able to somehow give her the god ' s eye device so that she and deckard could find where owen was being locked up . and they were able to come up with the whole plan in the five - minute window dom had before cipher knew something was up .\n\u201cit\u2019s been 14 years since i\u2019ve been the lead in a movie , since i\u2019ve carried a movie on my own , \u201d she said . \u201ci\u2019ve just been so shocked by life in the last two years . i\u2019m going to open up . i\u2019ve kind of made myself a carcass of safety and i\u2019ve protected myself against playing the \u2018girlfriend\u2019 or \u2018the girl who gets raped and then gets empowered , \u2019 \u2018the girl who gets empowered and then dies\u2019\u2026 they\u2019re always taking the power away from the women . \u201d\nafter the shocking reveal that dom\u2019s a dad , the even - more - shocking disposal of dom\u2019s baby mamma elena by that heartless villain cipher ( boo , hiss , charlize theron ! ) , and the more - ridiculous - than - shocking rescue of the baby by that ex - villain deckard shaw ( hoorah , the stath ! ) , the fate of the furious ends up all happy families with dom introducing the new kid to his girl letty and the rest of the fast family .\nthe verdict : with a title that falls firmly under so - bad - it ' s - good , it ' s disappointing that the rest of the film doesn ' t follow suit . 2 fast is paper - thin and full of highly questionable racial and gender stereotypes , and the while the original film is hardly shakespeare , we could forgive the film its flaws if the race sequences were any good . they\u2019re not , though \u2013 they\u2019re overly cartoony , and it\u2019s almost impossible to tell what\u2019s going on .\nthe movie was shot primarily on location in tokyo , which doesn\u2019t grant filming permits . so for many shots , including the ones of lead actor lucas black wandering around highly populated areas like shibuya crossing , the director and a minimal crew just shot black amongst real pedestrians until the police shut the production down . to make sure lin wouldn\u2019t get into trouble or thrown in jail and have the production halted , he had the production manager trick the police by telling them that he was the director and not lin ."]}

off of charlie ' s angels . most agreed that this film only exemplified , in an affirming way , the ceaseless and desperate ambition of a local cinema to emulate the globally successful hollywood cinema .\nstereotypical and predictable with a shockingly unexpected amount of raunch . what bothered me is it was so random and so crudely done . i almost didn ' t finish but had come so far . anyway , aside from the icky part , it was way too long to the point where it became agonizing . especially the inclusion of the cheyenne plot twist and the video footage . ewww ! this could have been a few pages to reveal what a horrible person one particular character was . but no , it was chapter after tortuous chapter . what started out interesting and fresh ended up eye -

sound in mandarin , meaning the mandarin version reduces the dubbing to the bad guys and the occasional scene where karen mok speaks cantonese . however , any scene between mok and the other two female leads was shot sync - sound in mandarin , as mok is fluent in both mandarin and cantonese . as such , the ratio of sync - sound to dubbing is comparatively high on the mandarin release , and the acting from shu qi and vicki zhao improves considerably . the film is still incredibly silly , but the better performances makes enjoying the film much easier .\ni stayed in this hotel last month and was disappointed me , first of all the guy was working at front dest so terribel and rude , mean , and xtra dull . he did not even know guest service and attitude to customer . place was run down and room was not clean at all . never go back there .\nto solve the death of the business man , hong yat hong , an unconventional woman cop ( karen mok ) and her partner are given the case . she is bright with deadly martial arts skills : the perfect foil for lynn and sue . the three become acutely involved in a not -

developed and easily relatable . as intriguing as the political indiscretions made this book , for me it was really about amanda\u2019s entrepreneurial drive and her determination to become someone outside of the trailer park . while life offers opportunities randomly and sporadically , it\u2019s really about what you make of those opportunities and how you create your own windows when no others open for you . for this and other book reviews , please visit : urltoken\ndear luismac , on behalf of the management and staff of carton house i would like to thank you for taking the time to review our hotel and share your experience with others . i am delighted to see that you had an enjoyable stay with us and i have passed your kind comments onto the team . the ambience of the old house really does make the stay that bit extra special and we always receive such positive feedback on how unique it is . i would welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspect of your meal experience which you feel we could improve on so please feel free to contact me about this . i look forward to welcoming you back to carton house in the future when you are sure of a warm welcome . kind regards , brian bowler deputy general manager\ntoronto , canada we stayed at this hotel from june 28 to july 1 , 2007 . we are a family of four , with teenage children . i booked it based on the reviews on tripadvisor . i was not disappointed . we had a quad room which was cozy and clean . bathroom was new and clean . we had breakfast in our room every morning at whatever time we requested it . breakfast was cappuccino , toast and croissants , truly italian style , which is all to be expected when in italy . it was away from the crowds of venice , but within walking distance to all the main attractions . it is close to the train and bus station and if you follow the hotels directions , finding it is not a problem . we found this hotel to be charming and in venetian style . the price was great in comparison to the other hotels closer to the main attractions . we truly enjoyed our stay and the staff was very friendly and pleasant . i would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone that is wanting to experience venice\na story with promise that succumbs to the temptations of too many dramatic twists in the final act . the trite\nhandsome leading man with unbelievable wealth , snobby mother\nwas bothersome - he never felt like an actual character , more a vehicle for our heroine ' s wishes and aspirations . the bombshell revelation in the final act , followed by a painful and confusing side trip to kiwah island , and another bizarre revelation after that - totally took the wind out of the story ' s sails . the cheyenne / coco character did not make sense . i could go on and on , but will simply say - skip this one so as to not be frustrated by a story that includes unnecessary drama , but likely had great potential before all the bells and whistles ( and ornaments and accessories ) were added .\ndear anthonymcnamee , thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on tripadvisor . i am delighted to see that you had an enjoyable experience during your stay with us and i have passed your kind comments on to the team here in the hotel . my apologies for the absence of the starter at your tee time on sunday morning and i hope it did not cause too much of a delay for you . i am glad that you enjoyed the standards of the golf courses so much , they really are in great condition at the moment as always which really makes for an enjoyable game . i do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to carton house in the near future and if i can ever be of any assistance please feel free to contact me . kind regards , brian bowler deputy general manager\nsaugatuck and douglas are tourist destinations , so it ' s not surprising that there are many nice b & b ' s around the area . but for those who don ' t want to spend $ 150 - $ 250 a night on a room , there are alternatives like the best western . it ' s really not bad - the desk staff was pleasant enough , the continental breakfast was varied and perfectly okay . the pool ( although small ) is open until 11 : 00pm which is nice . still , there was something that always made it seem a bit stale - the smell in the carpets , the lack of amenities , the rough towels , the bare bones quality of many items in the room . if you can get a good price and are looking for a hotel with a pool i would recommend it - otherwise look for something else .\nwe just got back from a great week in sands beach resort . the staff were very friendly and when needed they help you immediately . our apartment was very basic . the second bed was in a cupboard and our daughter thought is was cool to have a bed hidden away . . the sofa was broken and very uncomfortable so we didn ' t use it . the nice thing is , is that every appartment block has it ' s own pool and that is really ideal . the resort also provides toys for te pool which was very convenient . we seemed to have the less nicest pool , as we settled for a smaller appartment . pools are not heated , so the water was quite cold . with the sun there it ' s very cooling , but without the sun it ' s defenitely too cold . the playground is very nice . there ' s also a playground rght outside the resort and that one was even better . kids don ' t have to get bored ! apparently there ' s a possibilty to rent a buggy . we only found out our last day , but if we knew this before we would defenitely have done that . sands beach is not in the centre of things and with small children the walk to the spanish square is too far . we didn ' t book any meals , but we did go once for a breakfast buffet and dinner buffet . the breakfast was great , but i was a bit disappointed with the dinner . choice was ok , but not very tasty . we went out in the town and there are plenty of good restaurants . the mini disco in the evening was fantastic for the kids , just a little bit late for a 4 year old . most of the time she was too tired to participate . i would defenitely go here again , but i would book a different apartement .\ni ' ve loved emma and nicola since i was a teen reading the nanny diaries . what i love about them is their characters . women that mean so well and strive for it only to get lost along the way paired with a guy that ' s just as lost in his own way but fights until the end for them . he fights for the hea . amanda and pax made a great pair . but the relationship between amanda and lindsey is what made this story for me . as amanda tried to be more than her trailer park childhood lindsey became her savior . as their relationship grew then changed it was a journey amanda needed . not always pleasant and way too overwhelming but needed . pax was a great balance for amanda . when reading emma and nicola i always feel bad for the leading man . he always gets the short end of the stick in the relationship . like he deserves more than the hot mess he fell for but in the end they get their hea and they ' re trials are what makes them better . some of the transitions were choppy and timeline cloudy but it was classic emma and nicola and i loved it .\nmclaughlin & kraus finally give us something worthy of a follow - up to the nanny diaries . unlike citizen girl or dedication , the protagonist here - - amanda - - is a reasonably believable , sympathetic , mostly three - dimensional character , rather than a caricature . unfortunately , the same can ' t necessarily be said of her love interest , the trust - fund kid with a heart of gold , willing to risk disinheritance and his mother ' s wrath for the sake of an unlikely romance with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks . but that ' s okay , because the real story here isn ' t the romance , it ' s amanda ' s climb up the ladder behind the curtain of a charismatic politician . the demands and the perks of the job are equally incredible , which makes this a fun read , and keeps amanda ' s character - - and the fact that she stays in her position despite some truly crazy developments - - believable . 8 / 10 would read the sequel ( except i don ' t think the story actually lends itself to a sequel , so hopefully they don ' t try to force one ) . i received a copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review .\ndear bochaus , i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on tripadvisor . i am sorry to see that you were not completely satisfied with your recent stay with us . i have passed your comments on to the team here in the hotel to ensure that we pick up on any areas where we can improve on our service and product offering . we usually receive really positive feedback on our golf courses particularly this time of year when the greens and fairways are in excellent condition . please feel free to contact me to let me know if there are any parts in particular of both courses you feel were not up to standard and i will ensure that our golf course superintendant receives the feedback so that he and our team of green keepers can make the necessary improvements . we are really looking forward to hosting the irish open again next june and will ensure that our golf courses will be in excellent condition as always . i do hope that we will have the opportunity of welcoming you back to carton house in the future where you are sure of a warm welcome . please feel free to contact me directly should you wish to make a booking and i would be delighted to look after the details for you . kind regards , brian bowler deputy general manager\na fairy tale comes to life in this thoroughly original , new disney classic . drawing inspiration from its classic heritage , disney creates an inspired story unlike any you ' ve experienced before . filled with excitement , fun , and incredible music from the legendary alan menken , enchanted is the ultimate fish -

hopes of those onboard in respect to being rescued were again raised on learning that the county class cruiser , h . m . s . london would be coming to amethysts rescue . on the morning of 21 st april 1949 the date set for the invasion and invading forces of the c . c . p in crossing the yangtze in force on the upper reaches of the yangtze at points that were above and below where the amethyst was aground h . m . s . london accompanied by h . m . s . black swan , were ordered up river to rescue the amethyst .\nnote : this is a companion page to our story of simon , of hms amethyst who was awarded the dickin medal for gallantry under enemy fire in 1949 . you should read the main story for the account of the yangtze incident itself and how simon came to receive his ' animal vc ' .\nthis telegram was to prevent an international incident as cold war tensions were high and it removed any official mention of the concord\u2019s involvement in the yangtze incident .\nin may of 1949 h . m . s . consort was the last royal navy ship to be stationed at nanking she relieved h . m . c . s . crescent , our listening post\u2019s stationed there for the purpose of transmissions , from that station came learning of american war equipment being landed from ships at formosa , the connotations of a nationalist second front with u . s . a . involvement or support .\nmuch has been written about that termed the yangtze incident of 1949 . within the house of commons there exists columns of hansard papers relative to the incident .\nbecause of earl\u2019s book and subsequent film yangtze incident that , in reality was about one ship the amethyst this has distorted the nation\u2019s view of the incident and royal navy history . on the web , there is a royal navy profile site ; in the history section there is no mention of the yangtze incident or the ships involved .\non the 21 st april 1949 h . m . s . london , a county class cruiser a ship with a seventeen feet draught , in the company of h . m . s . black swan was ordered up the yangtze to attempt the rescue of amethyst as stated previously they got to within twenty miles of amethyst , before having to retire . both of those ships were ordered into a war zone on a date known to be the invasion date of chinas civil war .\nin producing the photographs of h . m . s . consort this allows an insight to some extent of what it must have been like to have been on board h . m . s . consort during one hundred minutes of the ships life span of ten years on the far east station , one hundred minutes from the time of receiving the signal from the amethyst , in the first instance ( under heavy fire . am aground . large number of casualties ) .\nthe letter was acknowledged by dr lewis moonie , m . p . , of the m . o

while on a legitimate , peaceful mission on the yangtse river , the amethyst is fired upon by chinese forces , with great loss of life , and comes to a standstill in a mudbank . for some weeks she remains there , unable to move for fear of destruction , while the navy negotiates with the chinese colonel ping , who wants the british government to claim that the amethyst illegally opened fire first . finally , the amethyst makes a break for freedom , under cover of darkness , hoping to be able to escape the shelling from the communist forces that line the river for many miles in both directions .\nsurgeon lieutenant john michael alderton , m . b . , b . s . , royal navy .\nfor gallantry , skill and determination while in command of hms amethyst in the planning and execution of her daring passage down the yangtse river when she escaped from chinese military forces .\nin conformity with the decision to remain at nanking , his majesty ' s ships had been relieving one another at that port at regular intervals for some months past . on this occasion the object of the passage of h . m . s .\namethyst\nwas to relieve h . m . s .\nconsort\nat nanking . opposing chinese forces had been massed along the banks of the yangtse for a considerable time and there were repeated rumours for some weeks that the communists were about to cross the river . h . m . s .\nconsort\nwas already overdue for relief , but this relief was postponed in view of a communist ultimatum which was due to expire on april 12 and which might have been followed by the crossing of the yangtse . on april 12 his majesty ' s ambassador learned that the ultimatum had been extended to april 15 . the relief had therefore still to be postponed . only on april 18 was it learned that the final expiry of the ultimatum might lead to the crossing of the yangtse by the communist forces on april 21 . the necessity for relieving h . m . s .\nconsort\nas early as possible remained . she was running short of supplies after a long stay at nanking and in any case a frigate was considered more suitable than a destroyer to be stationed at that port .\ni will at this point briefly summarise the losses and damage which resulted . the casualties were : h . m . s .\nlondon ,\n13 killed , 15 wounded ; h . m . s .\nconsort ,\n10 killed , 4 seriously wounded , h . m . s .\namethyst ,\n19 killed , 27 wounded ; h . m . s .\nblack swan ,\n7 wounded . in addition , 12 ratings are still missing . of the damage to the ships , the\nlondon\nsuffered the most severely , having been holed repeatedly in her hull and upper works . the damage to the\nconsort\nand the\nblack swan\nwas less serious .\nlondon\nand the\nblack swan\nhave already completed their emergency repairs . the\namethyst\nsuffered severe damage but was repaired by the efforts of her own crew to be capable of a speed of seventeen knots .\nstory [ based on the book by lawrence earl and an idea by associate producer franklin gollings ] is of the amethyst , which , battered though not beaten , broke the chinese communist blockade and rejoined the british fleet . the amethyst is shown sailing up the yangtse , headed for nanking on a lawful mission delivering supplies to the british [ \u2026 ]\nsignals were sent to the admiralty and the shoalhaven was stood down and h . m . s . amethyst was thereafter selected to take the shoalhaven\u2019s place , and recalled from sea to do so . in the book , yangtze incident by lawrence earl , there is a reference to h . m . s . amethyst beginning her journey up the yangtze river at 9 a . m . , on the 20 th april 1949 and doing so with full clearance from the then government of china . that statement is then followed by a further statement to the effect \u201c even to - day it is not clear why the amethyst was fired upon . then you have the question by the author , \u201cwas the \u201cfirst salvo\u201d a deliberate , sneering affront to britain and the royal navy ? \u201d\nh . m . s . consort in reaching amethyst made three valiant efforts to take amethyst in tow . to this day the overall valour and seamanship that went into those three efforts has never been fully recognised . as a result of the damage and casualties that was inflicted upon h . m . s . consort , she had to retire from the action . ten of her ships company were dead and a great many wounded for some of the wounded their naval careers ended . that night 20 th april 1949 h . m . s . consort tied up alongside of h . m . s . london , while the some of the wounded were being transferred on to the london for medical attention engineers from the london were assisting in repairs to the consort that would provide passage to shanghai . when it became known that the london and black swan were going to attempt rescuing the amethyst , almost to a man consorts ships company those not wounded were volunteering to take part in the rescue their request were refused as it was necessary to get the ship to shanghai .\nwhen the yangtze incident occurred on the 20 th of april 1949 involving h . m . s . amethyst and your ship consort , shock waves reached and rocked london , then on the 23 rd of april a transmission from shanghai , at a time when arrangement\u2019s were being put in place for the ceremonial burial there , the significance of what was found on board h . m . s . consort that day sent shock waves through out the admiralty and the diplomatic core in london , an un - exploded shell was found on top of h . m . s . consorts number one boiler , great care had to be taken in removing the shell , on inspection it was found to be of u . s . a . origin and unstable . the shell had penetrated the ships hull and came to land on top of the number one boiler , had it exploded in coming into contact with the boiler that would have resulted in consort sinking with a broken back , on deliberation of the location where that shell was found and up until the time of it being found h . m . s . consort was the equivalent of a mine primed and ready to explode . to my astonishment , and this lives and remains with me to this day , in the damage report for h . m . s . consort prepared for the admiralty and sent to london the reported finding of the shell on the number one boiler was omitted . \u201d\nopening credits prologue : the story of h . m . s . amethyst is true and this dramatic reconstruction of it was shot with all possible accuracy in and aboard amethyst herself . the producers ' apologies are due , however , to the officers and ships ' companies , the chinese interpreter and many others whose parts in the original action have not been portrayed . these omissions have been dictated solely by the limitations of screen time . to the admiralty , the war office and the air ministry , to commanders - in - chief , officers and ratings of h . m . ships and other naval establishments who have contributed so much to the making of this film , the producers tender their sincere thanks .\nthe story of the so - called yangtse incident and the saga of hms amethyst has been told and retold in the press and over the radio of the world , but i shall attempt to give a more personal account as it affected my wife and myself ; and it affected us very closely , for bill skinner , the late commanding officer and his wife , monica , were very dear friends of ours , and of course we knew the other officers .\nconsort was ordered to the rescue of amethyst , h . m . s . consort stationed at nanking was stationed there as guard ship to the british embassy and nationals out there , there were no other warships at nanking therefore by ordering consort to the assistance of amethyst the british embassy , ambassador his staff and british nationals were left unprotected .\nthe first photo is the deceptive version of the yangtze incident the propaganda version helping to delude and hide the truth , the second photo exposes the elusion created by the film in matters appertaining to the yangtze incident .\ndont know if its been published on here before ? anorak news \u00bb rip jack french d . s . m : remembering hms amethyst not too long ago rip .\nwith consort

( yes , i ' ve given the story away , but the film is based on a historical event and much of the\u2026\nwell that particular photograph depicts a scene from the yangtze incident film ; it depicts and portrays the young gunnery officer , the then lieutenant hett , standing in front of the single barrelled boffer , manned and in the stood too position , behind the rating to the right and rear of the gun you can see the top part of the ships funnel , so what this tells you is that you are looking at a photograph of h . m . s . amethyst port side on .\nreturning to the yangtze incident and in particular to clement attlee\u2019s , statement for a moment . in that statement there is no mention of who gave the order that sent the amethyst on its journey up the yangtze .\nto day in this present time questions are being asked as to the legality of committing british service personnel to war in iraq , this at a time when the very large question mark hangs over the yangtze incident . this short story will provide an insight into the truth of the yangtze incident , that fifty - three years of british government deceit and deception has covered up .\nh . m . s . consort , a \u201cc\u201d class destroyer built on the river clyde , and belonging to the british royal navy , was guard ship to and for the british embassy at nanking on the yangtze river she had been there for some time and her relief was long over due and her stores were depleted . the relief ship was h . m . a . s . shoalhaven , which was at shanghai and should have relieved the consort on 16 th april 1949 the relief did not take place . the shoalhaven was stood down . you are not told that in the book or film about the yangtze incident .\nalso within my knowledge was the fact that in march of 1999 h . m . s . boxer visited china and during that visit admiral sir michael boyce in the company of a chinese admiral laid a wreath on the waters of the yangtze in memory those who died in the yangtze incident . a very noble gesture , but on learning of the gesture , in my mine i questioned it because only those killed on board the amethyst were committed to the waters of the yangtze and it was people from the amethyst who provided the news supportive of the defamatory allegations that the graves of those buried in hung joa\nmuch has already been written concerning h . m . s . amethyst and her detention by the communists ' people ' s liberation army in the yangtse kiang , not only in the press but in official documents ; a detailed account would now be redundant . political considerations debar certain details and , in addition , publication of other matter might be prejudicial to the safety of certain people still in communist - occupied china . it is intended to attempt , in the following paragraphs , to try and elaborate on some of the less publicized points and bring out certain salutary lessons learnt . there will , therefore , be no co - ordinated and co - related\nstory\nin the strict sense .\nthe necessary equipment and expertise for repairing h . m . s . consort had to be shipped out from britain to singapore , as the damage inflicted upon the ship was to such an extent , the ship would never have made the journey to britain for the necessary repairs required .\ni can relate to three instances that occurred on board h . m . s . consort where valour occurred that was well above and beyond the call of duty , but by the fact that selection for awards was via the hat those three recommendations were not pulled from the hat .\nwhen h . m . s .\namethyst\nwas fired upon by communist forces , his majesty ' s ambassador instructed his majesty ' s consular officer in charge at peking to communicate to the highest competent chinese communist authority , by whatever means possible , a message informing them of this and seeking the issue of immediate instructions by them to their military commanders along the yangtse to desist from such firing . a subsequent message emphasised the urgent need of medical attention of the casualties and reiterated the request for instructions to prevent further firing upon these ships of the royal navy engaged in peaceful and humanitarian tasks . the local communist authorities , however , refused to accept the consul ' s letters .\nby the very fact that i have mentioned h . m . a . s . shoalhaven , this will have some in high office cringing , good , as it may well be constructive to the present day government and to the admiralty whilst being destructive to the deceit and deception that has been allowed to exist for the past fifty odd years relative to the yangtze incident .\nthus early on tuesday , april 19 , the frigate h . m . s .\namethyst\n( lieutenant - commander skinner ) sailed from shanghai for nanking , wearing the white ensign and the union jack and with the union jack painted on her hull . when\namethyst\nreached a point on the yangtse river some sixty miles from nanking , at about nine o ' clock , chinese time , in the morning of the 20th , she came under heavy fire from batteries on the north bank , suffered considerable damage and casualties and eventually grounded on rose island\nthis is a short book relating to an incident that occurred on the yangtze river of china , 20 th , 21 st april 1949 where four royal navy ships were by order sent on suicide missions . on these ships h . m . s . amethyst , consort , london and black swan , servicemen serving on board three of the ships were killed , on all four of the ships servicemen were wounded , this happened at a time when great britain was at peace , but it was an incident that took us to the brink of a third world war .\nthe signature of the commander in chief on that documents dated 22 nd december 1945 some eight months from the time of the incident was indeed an order . it\u2019s an order of the day that ties him into the deceit and deception of what went on and into the yangtze incident , and that is established by the terms within the second paragraph of his order of the day in relating to amethyst , and the action taken by consort .\ni have briefly related to the fact that consort while along side of h . m . s . london received some assistance in repairing damage that was inflicted during her attempts at rescuing the amethyst , repairs that were essential in order to provide safe passage to shanghai , also mentioned is the fact that some from consort\u2019s ships company who had been wounded were transferred to the london for medical attention . lets now pick up the story from there and in so doing i am doing so with a vengeance for several reasons that will become clear .\nstory [ based on the book by lawrence earl and an idea by associate producer franklin gollings ] is of the amethyst , which , battered though not beaten , broke the chinese communist blockade and rejoined the british fleet . the amethyst is shown sailing up the yangtse , headed for nanking on a lawful mission delivering supplies to the british embassy . suddenly , without warning , the red shore batteries open fire and the frigate , after a heavy engagement , is grounded in the mud .\non page 32 of earl\u2019s book yangtze incident , he introduces lieutenant - commander j . s . kearns , into that book in the fashion \u201cone of several involved in the relaying of that first message from amethyst to the ambassador was the embassy\u2019s assistant naval attach\u00e9 , john simon kearns . his rank was that of lieutenant commander . at the time he had no idea how vitally important the amethyst affair would become to him . \u201d\nsince , april of 1949 the incident has taken on the term yangtze incident , helped along by a book publication and film by that title , the film production , yangtze incident has been described as an epic production , and every so often television viewers are subjected to a re - run , of that alleged epic film .\nbelow is a photograph taken of h . m . s . amethyst when she arrived at hong kong after the ships escape from the yangtze river , in this photograph it can be seen that the ship was shot up and the scars are visible . this photograph shows the starboard side of the ship and i have encircled the boffer gun sponson area in the centre of the photograph . to the left of the photo you can see the ships - funnel .\nwe ' re grateful to elaine fowler for telling us about this cast - iron doorstop that she came across . although it isn ' t a great likeness of simon , the base clearly says ' hero of h . m . s . amethyst ' . we know nothing about it , except that elaine says it ' s ' quite large and very , very heavy ' , so we think perhaps it was produced at the time of simon ' s return to england in 1949 , after the yangtze incident . does anyone know anything about this remarkable object ?\ni have just read the true story of hms concord by william leitch rn ( hms consort ) and the true story it played in escorting hms amethyst . my father served on hms concord at the time of the incident , he was a radar operator . his name was r . c . r catt jx760425 . what i have just read is the story he told me time and time over again . although didn ' t know about the ships log . when the yangtze incident film was on tv he always watched it but got so cross every time at the end , as he always said that ' s not what happened they have got it wrong . do you think they may posthumously award a medal to the sailors that were aboard the concord ? if so i would like to accept it on his behalf . christine giles\nwhen that happened the amethyst was selected and ordered to take the shoal havens place as we now know , we also now know according to attlee , and his statement made to the house of commons , that at the time of the incident on the yangtze river , h . m . s . amethyst was going about her lawful occasion . that being the case , by what we also know now , from december of 1948 all british war ships making passage on the yangtze would during passage be stood too , in readiness to respond to artillery fire from communist forces on the north of the river .\nin the disturbed conditions which have prevailed in recent months , warships of various powers have been at shanghai and nanking so that in the event of a breakdown of law and order as the result of hostilities they would be able to assist in the evacuation of their nationals . when the chinese government decided to move to canton , it is true that a warning was issued about warships in the yangtse . nevertheless it is a fact that since that time the movements of our warships in the yangtse have taken place with the full knowledge and consent of the national government of china . i want to make the point , therefore , that , when the incident took place to which i am about to refer , h . m . s .\namethyst\nwas proceeding on her lawful occasions , and that there was no other properly constituted authority to whom his majesty ' s government were under an obligation to notify her movements even had they been in a position to do so .\nh . m . s . consort is seen here coming into shanghai . wounded rating being assisted from the ship , and the dead being carried past a guard of sailors and u . s marines . this was at a time when the ship was the equivalent of an un - exploded mine with an un - exploded shell of u . s . a . origin lying on top of the number one boiler . ( picture on next page . )\nearl\u2019s book yangtze incident at page fourteen . quote * even to - day it is not clear why amethyst was fired upon . was the first salvo a deliberate , sneering affront to britain and the royal navy ?\nthere is no explanation as to why the soviet union exempted from the decision to remain at nanking there is no mention of the fact there were consultations between the british and australian powers represented there in nanking that brought about the decision to have the australian war ship h . m . a . s . shoalhaven stood down from the duty of relieving h . m . s . consort . in having the shoal haven stood down the australian powers were exempting them from the lunacy of sending a war ship into the internal and territorial waters of a nation involved in civil war and in particular into what amounted to be the war zone without having taken the necessary and required precautions for safe passage .\nthis is a short introduction to the hms amethyst incident in the yangtse river when she was fired on by communist forces with heavy losses to herself and those ships that attempted to rescue her . the london gazette lists the honours awarded but did not include an official despatch . in its place the proceedings of the house of commons as recorded in hansard have been quoted . these cover events in some detail until around the arrival of commander kerans to take over command . his own account - from\nthe naval review\n- continues the story until her escape and rejoining the fleet .\n( now separated and will go our devious way ) , when h . m . s . consort was ordered to the rescue of the amethyst the british embassy there was without direct communication with london , england . h . m . s . consort was in fact the listening post between london and the embassy at nanking . lieutenant commander kearns was the embassy\u2019s naval attach\u00e9 and through him went all incoming and outgoing signals . kearns was in fact by his position london\u2019s spy , monitoring the day to day situation as it was , it fell to him keep london informed of all events including that of others involved in the cold war that existed between britain the u . s . a . and the soviet union . what was the u . s . a . and the soviet union up to that was the real importance of having a ship stationed at nanking the ship was not spying it was being used as a tool its ears the communication system .\nit was at this time that i learned that robin cook , m . p . was due to hold a constituent\u2019s surgery at broxburn , west lothian . mr cook , at that time was the british foreign secretary ; it was time to bend his ear on the matter of the yangtze incident and the graves from that incident . \u201csomeone with high profile as well as high office . \u201d\nwhen h . m . s . consort , at nanking , picked up that flash signal the response was immediate . the british embassy at nanking was informed the british ambassador sir ralph stevenson stationed at nanking immediately sent dispatches to the c . c . p . headquarters requesting an immediate cease - fire .\nsince the time of that incident and up until the present time in this year 2003 there has never been a judicial or public enquiry into the overall yangtze incident in order to ascertain the legalities or illegalities of that incident . fifty - four years on and into the present , the government of today is attempting to avoid a judicial or public inquiry into the legalities of the right or wrongs of having gone to war in iraq .\nphotograph of british sloop hms black swan . during the yangtze incident , the ship fell back after unsuccessfully trying to rescue hms amethyst , suffering casualties of 46 killed and 64 injured and severe hull damage .\nchief petty officer henry william robinson , g . m . , d / jx 133428 , hms consort .\nh . m . s . amethyst , did not begin her journey up the yangtze river on the 20 th april 1949 the amethyst begun her journey on the 19 th of april 1949 and in beginning her journey on that date she did not have clearance or consent from the nationalist government in china , clearance or consent came from the nationalist after the amethyst had begun her journey on the 19 th of april 1949 . the amethyst on reaching kiang yin , on the 19 th april 1949 was ordered by signal from a nationalist gun boat , to drop anchor and darken ship , as the nationalists had forbidden the movements of ships on the yangtze after dark .\nwithout a doubt many other cases of bravery and devotion will be revealed when all the facts are known . but we already have ample evidence that the conduct of the whole ship ' s company of h . m . s .\namethyst\nwas beyond all praise , though a considerable proportion were young sailors under fire for the first time . we have had reports of seamen and marines remaining at their task for up to twenty - four hours , though badly wounded , and of men declining to have their wounds treated until cases they considered more urgent had been dealt with . i have heard too that in h . m . s .\nlondon\nand\nblack swan ,\nwhen there was a possibility of volunteers being flown to\namethyst ,\nthere was almost acrimonious rivalry for selection to take on this heroic task .\nin 1991 in scarbourgh i met up with ex - servicemen from the 8 th destroyer flotilla and squadron association , far east 1945 - 59 the ships represented there were h . m . s . cossack , constance , consort , contest , cockade , comus , comet , concord and charity .\nif there was any initial misunderstanding as to the nationality of h . m . s .\namethyst .\nthis would have been speedily resolved had the authorities in peking acted on his majesty ' s ambassador ' s message . moreover , had the communist authorities objected in the past to the movement of british ships on the yangtse , it was always open to them to raise these through our consular authorities in north china . it is the fact that for reasons best known to themselves the communists have failed to notify any foreign authority present in areas which they have occupied of the channels through which contact can be maintained , and that they have rejected all communications made to them . in these circumstances , his majesty ' s government can only reserve their position .\nreply 1 sept . 4 , 2008 the name\ntanner\ndoes not appear on our crew list for the yangtze incident . in all probabilities he was a wartime member of the crew . you could check his service records , m . o . d . site . best wishes , charlie chivers rn amethyst association\nwhat must have been the thoughts of the p . l . a , as one thing is certain they had not been notified of amethyst\u2019s intention or movement ?\nbandmaster frederick george harwood , r . m . b . x . 368 , royal marines . hms london .\nthe concord was soon met by the hms cossack and the cossack\u2019s captain boarded the ship . he ordered the concord to patrol northern china and removed the ship\u2019s log book \u2013 taking with him any evidence of the concord\u2019s involvement .\nh . m . s . amethyst , at dawn on the morning of 20 th april weighed anchor and began making her way up river , about an hour into her journey because of fog and treacherous currents , at the insistence of the chinese pilot the amethyst , dropped anchor . the amethyst was completely enshrouded in fog neither the north or south bank of the river was visible to the naked eye so this can well be a situation of vice versa between the ship and shore . radar would have played a part in this situation so far as the amethyst was concerned , as radar would have pointed out the shorelines of both banks of the river as well as the movement of the large flat bottomed vessels ploughing their trade on the river , those vessels would appear as mere blips on the radar screen .\nnevertheless , it is a fact that since that time the movement of our war ships in the yangtze have taken place with the full knowledge and consent of the national government of china . i want to make the point therefore that when the incident took place to which i am about to refer , hms amethyst was proceeding on her lawful occasions and that there was no other properly constituted authority to whom his majesty\u2019s government were under an obligation to notify her movements even had they been in a position to do so . \u201d unquote . the part played by h . m . s . consort is also covered in the public statement .\nthe sea cadet corps unit of welwyn garden city and hatfield in england is called ts amethyst and has close links to the famous ship of that name ; in fact , lt cdr stewart hett , formerly of the ship , is their unit president . in summer 2006 the unit moved into new accommodation and then set about enhancing their associations with amethyst and her story . this initiative included proposed visits by cadets to all the amethyst - related sites in the uk .\nall this time , consort had been coming down river from nanking and somewhere around 2 p . m . appeared in sight of amethyst , saying she would make an attempt to tow them off .\nhere an analysis to the above paragraph is necessary and will arm the readers with knowledge and insight into matters concerning the yangtze incident .\nwhen lieutenant commander kearns brought the ship h . m . s . amethyst out of the yangtze river he brought back the evidence of the wrongful acts and omissions of those responsible for sending the ship on a suicide mission in the first instance a ship that did not have the capacity for defensive action , such as responding to being fired upon , a war ship with no teeth and encircled on the photograph is the irrefutable photographic evidence of that fact , her orlikin or boffor guns were not on - board .\nif the hopes of rescue by those on board amethyst were dashed then those same hopes of rescuing the amethyst for those of consorts ships company were also dashed and heartfelt considering the cost of what went into that rescue attempt .\n\u201cby the time of amethysts escape from the yangtze , shanghai was under the control of the c . c . p . and the peoples liberation army , during amethysts escape no ratings on board were killed . however on the 24 th april 1949 one of the wounded from amethyst on 20 th april who died from his wounds , was among those who reached shanghai having travelled overland from where the ship was grounded in the first instance and amethysts captain , who died from his wounds , was at the behest of his family committed to the sea from h . m . s . consort , while on route to hong kong from shanghai\u201d . i also pointed out that it should be the government\u2019s property services agency who should be dealing with the matter graves regardless of that agency\u2019s comment that had also been published , ( \u201ci\u2019m afraid we cannot find the file\u201d ) a typical comment in most matters relating to the yangtze incident .\non a peaceful mission , hms amethyst was unexpectedly atacked by the chinese people ' s liberation army on the north bank of the yangtse river . with rescue attempts blocked by the chinese communist army , for many weeks the situation remained in deadlock , until finally , lieutenant - commander john s . kerans realised he must make a dangerous decision - trust their captors to release them , or run the gauntlet of communist batteries down 140 miles of hostile territory .\nwhile waiting on a reply to that letter i decided to take other steps to have matters concerning the yangtze incident resolved , one way was to draw attention to the farce concerning the graves , so i made up a placard with the prime ministers letter as a centrepiece surrounded by photographs that told the story concerning the graves and the duplicity attached .\nreference has been made here to the book \u201chostage on the yangtze written by the author malcolm murfett . i . s . b . n 0870212893\u201d the story took shape in the first instance as a thesis of naval event the yangtze incident , due to the amount of research to produce the theses a book came to life and it provides an insight into the yangtze incident , that in this country britain , government departments would prefer to keep under lock and key and in my opinion that is why , malcolm murfett in his book concludes , with the question , \u201cwhy\u201d .\nwhen h . m . s . consort arrived at shanghai , dr wedderburn treated eight - one of consorts ships company for wounds . who is dr wedderburn ? dr wedderburn , was a doctor who in the company who in the company of a pilot in a sunderland flying boat flew over the yangtze and witnessed consorts approach and efforts in attempting to rescue the amethyst , in witnessing such dr wedderburn , later wrote it down in explicit detail as both he and the pilot at the time both were of the opinion it was beyond belief it may well be that dr wedderburn , read earl\u2019s book and in so doing was prompted into his writing of the book \u201clotus garden\u201d i have personally read the eye witness account of what both the doctor and pilot witnessed . from what can only be described as a bird\u2019s eye view of the action taken by h . m . s . consort , her approach at speed , her devastating fire power that knocked out the p . l . a . battery\u2019s during her three attempts to take amethyst in tow , the hits she was taking while putting in such an effort but what they were witnessing with unbelief was that there was no one to be seen on the upper decks of the amethyst .\nsimon\u2019s resting place at the pdsa animal cemetery in ilford . his gravestone reads : \u2018throughout the yangtze incident , his behaviour was of the highest order . \u2019 author : acabashi cc by -

'\n- waiting for godot is not an absurdist play samuel beckett ' s stage plays are gray both in color and in subject matter . likewise , the answer to the question of whether or not beckett ' s work is absurdist also belongs to that realm of gray in which beckett often works . the absurdist label becomes problematic when applied to beckett because his dramatic works tend to overflow the boundaries which scholars attempt to assign . when discussing beckett , the critic inevitably becomes entangled in contradiction . . . . [ tags : waiting for godot essays ]\ntime presents a slew of problems in waiting for godot . the very title of the play reveals its central action : waiting . the two main characters are forced to whittle away their days while anticipating the arrival of a man who never comes . because they have nothing to do in the meantime , time is a dreaded barrier , a test of their ability to endure . because they repeat the same actions every day , time is cyclical . that every character seems to have a faulty memory further complicates matters ; time loses meaning when the actions of one day have no relevance or certainty on the next .\npozzo and lucky eventually leave , and estragon wants to leave as well , but vladimir tells him they need to stay and wait for godot . a\nbeckett ' s life was changed by the success of godot - the international impact of the play helped him to win the nobel prize for literature .\nsir tom stoppard , who first saw it in bristol in the late 1950s , says :\nthe play is a universal metaphor precisely because it wasn ' t designed as being a metaphor for anything in particular . the true subject matter of waiting for godot is that it ' s about two tramps waiting for somebody . it ' s not the case that the true subject matter is in the metaphor . plays which are designed to be a metaphor for particular correlatives have , i imagine , a very short lifespan . and then of course , there ' s the writing and the humour .\nultimately , waiting for godot is a very positive play , which talks about the resilience of human beings . the tree was central to my staging ; when it started to sprout leaves in act two , that sent a powerful message to oppressed people - it suggested new life and resolution , an image of hope against all the desolation . every night , the show received standing ovations . its impact was monumental : waiting for godot provided a powerful metaphor of our struggle which allowed me to get past the censor and speak to my people .\nic\nvladimir wonders what he and estragon should do , and estragon says they should continue to wait . while waiting , estragon suggests they hang themselves on the tree . the two disagree over who should hang himself first , though , and vladimir concludes that they should just wait for godot . estragon asks what vladimir asked godot for and vladimir says that he made a vague sort of prayer . estragon is hungry , and vladimir offers him a carrot . all he can find in his pockets , though , are turnips . finally , he finds a carrot and gives it to estragon . estragon asks if they are\ntied\nto godot and vladimir says that they are . the two are interrupted by a loud scream off - stage .\nhidden in mist somewhere there is an island , and on that island there is a castle , and in that castle there is a great room lit by a little lamp . and in that room people are waiting . waiting for what ? they don\u2019t know ! they\u2019re waiting for someone to open the door , waiting for their lamp to go out , waiting for fear and death . they talk . yes , they speak words that shatter the silence of the moment . and then they listen again , leaving their sentences unfinished , their gesture uncomplicated . they are listening . they are waiting . will she come perhaps , or won\u2019t she ? yes , she will come ; she always comes . but it is late , and she will not come perhaps until tomorrow . the people collected under that little lamp in that great room have , nevertheless , begun to smile ; they still have hope . then there is a knock - a \u2018knock\u2019 and that is all there is : and it is life complete , all of life .\nand the play has acquired a remarkable record for being performed in very different international settings . no disaster or civil strife is complete without its own godot .\nwhile it may be helpful to examine the roots of beckett\u2019s work , it is also necessary to mention that a new category was invented by critics of the fifties and sixties to house waiting for godot . this category , theater of the absurd , was used to describe the new kind of theater that beckett represented . while martin esslin defined it as \u201cstriving to express its sense of the senselessness of the human condition and the inadequacy of the rational approach by the open abandonment of rational devices and discursive thought , \u201d other critics had their own interpretations . they characterized it as having absurd dialogue , characters and situations . it included the work of dramatists as diverse as jean genet , harold pinter , edward albee and eugene ionesco .\nthis story characterizes some of the critics , as well as some of the interpretations of waiting for godot . it has been seen as existentialist ( depicting man as lost as insecure in a world without god ) ; marxist ( representing man turning away from his capitalist society , and embracing socialism and communism as alternatives to political alienation ) ; freudian ( vladimir represents the \u2018ego\u2019 , estragon represents the \u2018id\u2019 ) ; and christian ( the play as a parable illustrating man\u2019s need for salvation ) . yet , while these theories have some validity , they are all open to debate . they reflect a complex culture but limit understanding of the play . \u201cthe great success of waiting for godot , \u201d beckett said , \u201chad arisen from a misunderstanding : critic and public alike were busy interpreting in allegorical or symbolic terms a play which strove at all costs to avoid definition . \u201d\ntrue to his word , he attempted to eliminate his characters . while waiting for godot had five actors , endgame ( 1958 ) had only four . one character was dying , and two others were consigned to ashcans . the stage poem , \u201cplay\u201d ( 1964 ) , was down to three performers , all stashed away in funereal urns . happy days ( 1961 ) had a woman buried to her waist and then her head in sand . her husband remained invisible until he crawled out of his hole to say hello .\ni am a big fan of ibsen\u2019s \u201ca doll\u2019s house\u201d and i thought no play could ever surpass it . the play \u201cengame\u201d was alright but quite dull and at times pointlessly depressing but \u201cwaiting for godot\u201d is , in one word ; amazing !

still waiting for godot .\nthe nothingness is interrupted by the arrival of the boy , who reports to vladimir that godot isn\u2019t coming today , but will be there tomorrow . yippee ! except not , since vladimir\u2019s comments suggest that the boy has said this before . estragon and vladimir talk about suicide some more and then resolve to leave the stage , since it\u2019s nightfall and they no longer have to wait for godot . of course , having resolved to leave , neither man moves , and the curtain closes on act i . the curtain opens for act ii , which you will soon see is remarkably like act i . the men still sit around waiting for godot and try to fill the idle hours in the meantime . lucky and pozzo show up , only this time lucky has gone mute and pozzo is blind . they putz around the stage for a while , and pozzo declares that , having lost his eyes , he now has no sense of time . lucky declares nothing , because he\u2019s mute . vladimir gets rather poetic in the meantime , wondering if maybe he\u2019s sleeping , agreeing with pozzo\u2019s claim that life is fleeting , and concluding that habit is the great deadener of life . pozzo and lucky leave again , just in time for the boy to show up and tell vladimir that godot isn\u2019t coming today , but will be there tomorrow .\nkatherine m . wilson disagrees with g . s . fraser in 1956 , and writes that waiting for godot conveys modern life in its full horror so that , \u201c\u2018the audience , finding it unendurable , may be forced to remedy it\u2019\u201d ( graver 16 ) . wilson suggests that fraser\u2019s analysis leads the audience to blame all our misery on god and fate , excusing us of the responsibility to do anything about it . taking existentialist views , wilson feels the need to begin analysis of the play with the human individual . by focusing on the person instead of religion and mystery , the audience members may understand the purpose of the art and become inspired to initiate the change that beckett desires . wilson sees the moral of the play as a question : \u201cif this is what waiting for godot is like , must we wait for him ? \u201d\njust like the day before , a boy enters with a message from godot , that he will not come this day but will certainly come the next . vladimir asks the boy what godot does and the boy says godot does nothing . vladimir asks the boy to tell godot that he saw vladimir . the boy leaves . estragon wants to go far away , but vladimir says they can ' t go far , as they have to come back here tomorrow and wait for godot . estragon suggests they hang themselves on the tree using his belt , but when they test the belt ' s strength by pulling on either end , it breaks . vladimir and estragon prepare to leave for the night . they say they are going to leave , but neither moves .\nnice , i\u2019ll watch through it tonight . i\u2019ve always been tempted to write a sequel titled \u201cthe arrival of godot\u201d \ud83d\ude00\ni put waiting for godot on the same level as the greek plays : it asks questions of theatre that are extremely difficult to resolve . i chose only to use women in my 1991 production for avignon because i was convinced that female actresses introduce a range of acting possibilities that is broader than for men . when putting on waiting for godot , you are very limited in your possibilities , because beckett specified how it should be played . so using just female actresses was an enormous step . perhaps , because the actor is a woman , there is an anomaly that is consistent with beckett , a writer who is completely unexpected and unpredictable . the beckett estate said i didn ' t have the right to do it , so then it became a question of principle . for me , no writer can impose his view on a production . so i launched a case to put the production on in avignon and it was the first time in the history of the french theatre that a director has had his production upheld by the law .\nlandmark productions of the play in the past half century have touched a nerve , or been designed as a catalyst for change , in troubled societies all over the world . an all - black godot in south africa implied a wait for the end of apartheid . productions in california ' s san quentin prison and in new orleans after hurricane katrina captured a restless present and yearning for renewal .\nthe play was boycotted by the press , but the audience was full and no one walked out or complained ; there was lots of applause . i believe that i was truer to beckett than lots of other directors . i wanted to try to recapture the atmosphere of when waiting for godot was first put on . there was a real shock , an intellectual shock to the public .\nally carnwath\nafter pozzo and lucky leave , a boy enters and tells vladimir that he is a messenger from godot . he tells vladimir that godot will not be coming tonight , but that he will surely come tomorrow . vladimir asks him some questions about godot and the boy departs . after his departure , vladimir and estragon decide to leave , but they do not move as the curtain falls .\nalthough very existentialist in its characterizations , waiting for godot is primarily about hope . the play revolves around vladimir and estragon and their pitiful wait for hope to arrive . at various times during the play , hope is constructed as a form of salvation , in the personages of pozzo and lucky , or even as death . the subject of the play quickly becomes an example of how to pass the time in a situation which offers no hope . thus the theme of the play is set by the beginning :\nmandell recalled that some of his fellow actors were reluctant to put their energy into such an avant - garde play for an audience of thieves and murderers .\nit ' s said that ' godot ' was written for 20 , 000 intellectuals who ' d get it ,\nhe said .\nsome thought ( prisoners would ) be the last to get it , that it was too esoteric for them to understand .\nonce , as he was casting hickey for eugene o ' neill ' s\nthe iceman cometh\n- a character who murders his wife - one inmate pleaded for the role on the basis that he ' d committed the same crime .\ni couldn ' t let him do it ,\nmandell reasoned .\nit wasn ' t a problem for him , but it was for me .\nalan mandell is an original cast member of the play ,\nlooking for godot\nwhich was performed in 1957 at san quentin state prison in san rafael , calif . , mandel visits the prison on friday dec . 19 , 2008 .\nbefore attempting to make any sense out of waiting for godot , it is necessary to put some things into perspective . when beckett wrote this play ( from october 1948 to january 1949 ) , he was already more than forty years old . half of his life had passed . he considered himself a novelist who wrote godot # 1 \u201cas a form of relaxation , to get away from the awful prose i was writing at the time . \u201d it was like a game to him , a momentary release from the real work of constructing fiction . it was not the vehicle he would have chosen to make him famous .\nmandell returned to the state prison on the san francisco bay near san rafael to view a screening of the documentary\nthe impossible itself ,\na retelling of a nov . 19 , 1957 , performance of\nwaiting for godot\nput on in the prison by mandell and a handful of fellow actors from the san francisco actors workshop . the one - night show directed by herbert blau was so well received by the audience of 1 , 400 inmates that it inspired a group of prisoners to start the still - active san quentin drama workshop , which mandell directed for six years .\nalan mandel , ( left ) is an original cast member of the play ,\nlooking for godot\nwhich was performed in 1957 at san quentin state prison in san rafael , calif . mandel with actors in the san quentin drama workshop . . . more\n\u201coff we go again , \u201d says estragon , with no more enthusiasm than vladimir , who will later say the same . you know how they feel . a masterpiece written straight out of the starting blocks , roundly rejected and soon hailed as a modern classic , samuel beckett\u2019s waiting for godot is now nothing like its famous no - show \u2013 it turns up quite frequently . you would have hoped that this recent deregulation in the beckett industry , which flooded the world\u2019s theatres with productions , has allowed for infinite revealing and rewarding variations . you would have been disappointed . nothing to be done .\nwhen estragon asks , for the billionth time , why they are waiting , to be told , for the billionth time , the answer , he replies , \u201cah yes\u201d , as though it were a fresh realisation . this is the tragicomedy you recognise gnawing at your life , at your world : the deadening and sustaining routines , the dance between despair and happiness , the cold hard promise of oblivion . you shouldn\u2019t laugh . but you will .\nyou should receive instructions for resetting your password . when you have reset your password , you can sign in .\nestragon leaves the stage for a moment and then returns and says that\nthey\nare coming . he and vladimir hold lookouts at either end of the stage . after insulting each other , they make up and embrace . pozzo and lucky enter . pozzo is now blind , following closely behind lucky . lucky stops when he sees vladimir and estragon , and pozzo bumps into him . they both fall to the ground and pozzo cannot get up . vladimir and estragon consider trying to get something out of pozzo for helping him up . pozzo cries out for help and offers money in return for any assistance . vladimir decides to help pozzo up but falls over himself in the process . estragon tries to help vladimir up , but falls down in the process . none of the characters are able to get up for a while , but estragon suddenly suggests that he and vladimir try to stand up and they are able to get up easily .\nthe inspiration for godot may be found in the work of the late nineteenth - century symbolist playwrights . a description of symbolist drama , written by remy de gourmont in 1895 , ( which was also referred to as \u201cstatic drama\u201d ) , seems to have some relevance :\nin 1975 , samuel beckett directed the german production , warten auf godot , at the schiller theater . for this occasion , \u201cto give form to the confusion , \u201d he divided the play into eleven sections . these divisions served as a guide to the play\u2019s structure ."]}

- as usual , shirley has several family members and friends fighting for custody of her , and the film ' s ending has cooper stoically battling a gunshot wound without bothering to seek medical attention . the film does present a fairly simple moral dilemma and then test the characters ' reactions to the challenge , and shirley overwhelms everyone in her path with near toxic levels of cuteness , as she giggles and dances her victims into submission . but shirley is not in every scene , which helps to keep the radiation levels in check , and the story itself is both interesting and original .\na loafer and a manicurist , both planning to marry money , meet and form an uneasy alliance .\nthis is the third of jarmusch\u2019s fictional films in which he concocts a fantasy realm in which he , the image -

rediscoveries that have taken place in europe and in the united states since the late 50 ' s , when his films first began to be shown outside japan . a number of new york venues have been crucial to ozu ' s growing prestige : the museum of modern art , various revival houses ( notably the old new yorker theater , now gone ) , the japan society and film forum . movie theaters of one sort or another , not home video , have kept ozu alive in this city , and continue to keep him alive . although a handful of his films are available on video , all of them date from after world war ii and give a limited perspective on his emotional range , his world of character types and , especially , his sly humor , in literary as well as visual terms .

the - scenes work goes into bringing this music \u2013 much of which had been lost to history \u2013 back to life . there are familiar tunes among the complex arrangements that he and his orchestra play , to be sure , but the music sounds fresher and sharper than it ever does on old records or in movies . whether you\u2019re a film fan or not , you will find something about the irrepressible energy of these tunes that lifts the spirits .\ncarole has always been one of my favorite actresses and this movie has helped me realize that a lot of my love and appreciation for her work comes from her voice . i think gary ' s infamous stilted delivery really made me pay attention to the ups and downs in her tone . one moment she could be a sharp wisecracker ; the next , a warm and enchanting lover . she truly made it all look so effortless .\nshe sees the films of akira kurosawa , kenji mizoguchi , shohei imamura and nagisa oshima as very different from ozu ' s .\nit ' s like comparing emily dickinson and whitman , both americans ,\nshe said .\nozu is a supreme artist because he gives you all the pleasures of formal or abstract art and evokes profound emotions and sympathies . does that make him universal ? no . that makes him accessible .\nsound poll , orson welles\u2019s debut film has been convincingly ousted by alfred hitchcock\u2019s 45th feature vertigo \u2013 and by a whopping 34 votes , compared with the mere five that separated them a decade ago . so what does it mean ? given that kane actually clocked over three times as many votes this year as it did last time , it hasn\u2019t exactly been snubbed by the vastly larger number of voters taking part in this new poll , which has spread its net far wider than any of its six predecessors .\nalthough penny is the catalyst that makes jerry want to change and be a better man , he doesn ' t really do it for her . it is toni that he really loves , but bringing penny into their lives lets him see toni ' s pain and vulnerability for the first time . it is for her , and not for penny , that he agrees to stop\nchasing trains\nand go get a job . these are two broken , desperate people , lonely even when they ' re together and unable to commit to each other in any traditional way yet each physically incapable of living without the other . a handful of catch phrases and inside jokes make the characterization of these two beautifully three dimensional , and create , almost in the background , a genuinely touching love story .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\njerry is still without employment and is soon back to his old ways . he sells a phony goldmine to some sucker , felix , and then hops a ship with penny to europe . the only problem is that felix is likewise aboard .\ni ' m not about to rush out and complete my\nlittle darling\ncollection , but it was a pleasant surprise to find i could watch one of temple ' s movies all the way through without wanting to throw up in my mouth . shirley is far more sickeningly sweet than i ' d like , but she was also a very capable actress even as a very young girl , which is itself certainly worthy of respect . as a whole , the film was sincere and unpredictable , a worthwhile showcase for the exceptional talent of all three leads . shirley comes on a little strong for many people , including myself , but if you ' re willing to look past this ,\nit ' s interesting to see cooper play a total cock of a man though he doesn ' t fully convince of it until after his supposed redemption . in short it is a pretty great though very small messing with his image . it threatens to become alfie with cooper being as charming as usual and the film giving him excessive allowances early on . much less messy is temple who really proves her star , and greene ' s criticism , with a shockingly adult performance that frankly outclasses everyone else while still playing up that idea of naive child . which leaves poor carole lombard who has a truly nothing role the she treats as such . a nagging stick could do just as well .\na swindler and his girlfriend take in his young daughter , who has been living with the family of his deceased wife .\na dissolute rich society boy marries a worldly nightclub singer , and she begins to have a wholly unexpected effect on him .\nthe movie\u2019s protagonist , played with spectacular attention to detail and what feels like a genuine sense of affinity by adam driver , is named paterson , and he drives a new jersey transit bus around the new jersey city of paterson , where he also lives . paterson , new jersey was once an industrial center of the united states\u2014a storied manufacturer of silks and textiles\u2014that fell into a kind of ruin by the time this film reviewer moved there , to live , in 1978 . it has undergone several not -

- no respectable victorian lady would have - - let alone the particulars of the scene ( which , by the way , nothing happened , but it almost could have been something had jane been slightly weaker ) . their chemistry in this version of jane eyre was probably the most modern i ' ve seen in an adaptation of jane eyre .\ncharlotte bronte ' s jane eyre -

about scenes was when rochester tries to convince jane to stay with him after their aborted wedding . they sit on a bed together ; just after rochester insists that they can live together chastely like brother and sister , they lie back on the bed and begin kissing . some viewers were shocked by the steamy scene and how it strayed dramatically from the novel . however , others argued that passion is a major underlying theme in jane eyre and that showing jane and rochester expressing their desires was natural ( \u201cjane eyre 2006\u201d ) . personally , i side with the purists and argue that bront\u00eb\u2019s intent was to have jane not give in to her desires . i will concede though that the scene makes jane\u2019s painful separation from rochester very poignant and believable .\nhaley : the wilson / stephens miniseries stays closer to the novel because it has the time to follow the plot . there is one dreadful \u201cspecial effects\u201d scene when the tree is struck by lightning that is just embarrassing .\njane eyre * * * 1 / 2 ( out of four ) pbs , sunday and jan . 28 , 9 et / pt ( times may vary )\nafter a harsh childhood , orphan jane eyre is hired by edward rochester , the brooding lord of a mysterious manor house , to care for his young daughter .\nsaturday , november 24 , 2007 12 : 07 pm by m . in bront\u00ebites , jane eyre , movies -

dvd - tv , theatre , wuthering heights no comments\nmost recently , there\u2019s the 2011 film with mia wasikowska and michael fassbender which brought a gothic horror style to the story ; before that the unforgettable 2006 version with toby stephens and ruth wilson . then there are the two \u201990s adaptations , one of which showcased anna paquin as a young jane .\nthis would explain why the other versions of jane eyre had jane wearing black , but i wonder why this one had jane wearing grey instead of black if the jane in the book found that her grey dress was too fancy to be worn on any occasion . could it be a emphasis on her passionate nature ? maybe . but it was different from the original novel .\ni love every jane eyre hub you write ! i think the first jane eyre version i saw was the 1944 version and i love it to this day . fontaine and welles gave the characters interesting dimensions that i haven ' t seen in most other versions . then the 1983 miniseries is by far the most faithful . i do like timothy dalton but i guess my interpretation of rochester was never melodramatic . in the scene after jane faints and she wants to leave thornfield , i felt that dalton made rochester into a whimpering baby . it is still a good adaption though . then 1996 is alright and i ' ve loved the 2006 version every time i watch it . thank you also for mentioning the musical . i was amazed how brilliantly the lyricist used phrases from the novel as well as their thesaurus to make each character ' s song suit them . great job !\nbrimming with sly jokes and literary allusions , the eyre affair offers a new twist on bront\u00eb\u2019s and other classic authors\u2019 works . it was my first exposure to jane eyre , and it made me interested in reading the novel , not knowing exactly what the \u201ctrue\u201d ending was .\nthis might just be the most perfect jane eyre wedding gown ( other than being the wrong period ) : it\u2019s pretty , yet plain , well suited to her character .\ndespu\u00e9s de ver el otro d\u00eda una edici\u00f3n en japon\u00e9s de jane eyre , hoy toca acercanos un poco m\u00e1s hacia espa\u00f1a para ver esta llamativa y caracter\u00edstica edici\u00f3 . . .\nwhen one poster on imdb wondered how paquin\u2019s passionate jane grew into gainsbourg\u2019s \u201cbland and wooden\u201d adult version , \u201cjrice - 11\u201d argued passionately in gainsbourg\u2019s defense : jane\u2019s \u201cstrength of purpose was her desire to live , her beauty was wanting to live correctly as well as stay alive . jane [ eyre ] wanted little out of life but to do her duty as she saw it , and ms g . [ gainsbourg ] portrays that well , yet allows us to see that jane has a warmth , a passion beneath that exterior\u201d ( \u201cjane eyre 1996\u201d ) .\nagreed . the 2011 was a close , but no cigar , version ( not terrible , just not quite as good as it could have been ) , while the 2006 hewed closer to the novel with the acting and the costumes .\noverseer - 3 .\nworst version ever made .\nrev . of jane eyre ( 1934 ) . internet movie database . 12 may 2003 . 1 dec . 2008 .\n5 : 03 pm by m . in art - exhibitions , bront\u00ebites , jane eyre , movies - dvd - tv , theatre , wide sargasso sea , wuthering heights no comments\npopular novels have also taken jane eyre to new levels . in 1966 , jean rhys published wide sargasso sea , a prequel of sorts to jane eyre . the novel features bertha mason as the protagonist and her meeting and marrying rochester . it has also been adapted to film . poster \u201cyaweh yireh\u201d jokingly refers to the age difference between rochester and jane when she describes her reaction to watching wide sargasso sea : \u201che kept telling bertha how much he loved her , and i kept thinking , ' no , you don ' t . back in england there ' s a little baby who you ' re going to find true love with in fifteen years ! ' \u201d ( \u201cjane eyre 2006\u201d ) . the story explores why bertha went mad , and it was well - received by critics and readers ( \u201cnotes on novels : wide sargasso sea\u201d ) .\n' next production will be\njane eyre\nby charlotte bronte , adapted for the stage by charles vance . directed by betty macgregor , this version of the classic nineteenth century story has been adapted to focus on the love between jane and rochester .\nwith : ruth wilson ( jane eyre ) , toby stephens ( edward rochester ) , claudia coulter ( bertha ) , francesca annis ( lady ingram ) , christina cole ( blanche ) , tara fitzgerald ( mrs . reed ) , pam ferris ( grace poole ) , andrew buchan ( st . john rivers ) and georgie henley ( young jane eyre ) .\ni\u2019ll be accompanied by eleanor , my bestie , college / post - college housemate , and fellow lover of a good 8 hour bbc miniseries in the guise of miniseries mondays . to introduce you to ellie , i should briefly explain our friendship . it might help to tell you that when ellie and i were first acquainted , we went to eat italian food together and by the time we were halfway done with our baked ziti we were singing fiddler on the roof songs . in public . probably loud . had we been introduced as young children , we would never have adapted to conversing with people who hadn\u2019t memorized all of seven brides for seven brothers . anyhow , eleanor and i will occasionally drop in with our two cents on our favorite or most loathed miniseries / period films . we won\u2019t stick completely to miniseries , we\u2019ll throw a few literary film adaptions in for good measure . and , we want to hear your thoughts , too ! so , chime in in the combox .\nalso , biedroneczka sends along a list she found of bbc productions of jane eyre from a site connected to the bbc archives . this is the list ( programmes denote episodes ) :\nfirstly , there ' s another news blip about the bbc ' s new version of jane eyre with ruth wilson and toby stephens . apparently they bought some of their props from matlock\neven though i am a janeite i have to admit i really enjoyed the latest version of jane eyre ( a two - part series starting on the abc on sunday at 8 . 30pm ) . it was gripping , powerful and intense . ruth wilson won a bafta nomination as the doe - eyed jane eyre while toby stephens smoulders as the complex mr rochester .\ntimothy dalton is best known as james bond , and some fans complain that he is too handsome for the role ( although , maybe \u201ccomplain\u201d is the wrong word ) . \u201cmartisco\u201d believes that dalton \u201cgives a very dynamic performance and has tons of charisma and passion . \u201d the poster \u201cmamascara\u201d adds : \u201ci love when he calls her janet , just as in the book . that never happened in the 2006 [ version ] . and the woman who plays jane is small and elf - like , as in the book . dalton overflows with passion for jane\u201d ( \u201cjane eyre 1983\u201d ) .\nkayla notes that only a few of bronte\u2019s contemporaries understood how radical jane eyre was . conservative elizabeth rigby did and accordingly hated the novel , calling it unfeminine , unchristian , and chartist ( which is to say , communist ) . kayla believes that rigby , a successful journalist , feared that jane eyre would expose her own unfeminine ambitions and perhaps her own repressed anger .\ni really like what she says about the film getting jane ' s age right . jane ' s youth really does come through in the film .\njback - 5 . \u201cat least they got pilot right ! \u201d rev . of jane eyre ( 1997 ) . internet movie database . 9 jan . 2008 . 1 dec . 2008 .\nwhether it ' s pride and prejudice , jane eyre , bridget jones ' s diary or any old mills and boon novel , the grist that feeds the fantasy mill is the same .\ncaption : actor richard leech as mr rochester and actress ann bell in the title roll [ sic ] of jane eyre being serialised by the bbc at the television centre , shepherds bush .\nit is worthwhile to bring up jane eyre \u2019s impact in other forms of media besides film . jane eyre has a long history on the stage , and in 2000 , it had its broadway debut as a musical . jane eyre the musical features twenty songs , the music and lyrics by paul gordon and the book by john caird . marla schaffel and james barbour star in the original broadway cast ( \u201cthe musical\u201d ) . the lyrics faithfully maintain a lot of the original text from the novel , and some of the songs give a special voice to the characters .\nthat said , in modern day it\u2019s easy to overlook the 1983 bbc miniseries when you have toby stephens or michael fassbender to choose from . even i didn\u2019t bother to watch it for a while . but i have since atoned for the error of my ways .\nfrom sweeping shots of the english countryside through all seasons to intimate scenes in the recesses of the manor house , this adaptation of jane eyre shows off a richness american tv projects rarely attempt .\nbest jane eyre adaptation i ' ve seen ! actors portrayed the characters extremely well , close to the book with few changes , stunning scenery ( thornfield is absolutely gorgeous ) and . . .\nkayla also leans on jody bower\u2019s argument that jane eyre has an \u201caletis\u201d or \u201cwandering heroine\u201d plot . this is in contrast with male quest plots , which have more clearly defined forward - trajectories .\nsunday , november 25 , 2007 12 : 17 pm by m . in books , bront\u00ebites , jane eyre , movies - dvd - tv , references , the tenant of wildfell hall no comments\nalso tonight , abc airs the first part ( episodes 1 and 2 ) of last year ' s big bbc costume drama , i . e . jane eyre . several newspapers publish alerts :\nthe 1983 miniseries was the first adaptation i saw , so i have a particular fondness for it . almost five and a half hours long , it is probably the most faithful version that exists , preserving bront\u00eb\u2019s original text in most of the dialogue . jane\u2019s experiences before and after her time at thornfield , which are usually the ones severely condensed in adaptations , remain almost in full . thus , viewers see the child jane\u2019s meetings with the apothecary and mr . brocklehurst , the servant bessie visiting jane at lowood school , and jane\u2019s wanderings on the moors before reaching moor house .\ni haven ' t seen the charlton heston version and i ' ve seen only short clips of the 1934 one . i also enjoy the 1973 and zefferelli versions although my favorite has to be 2011 , followed closely by 2006 . thanks for reading and commenting !\ni read the book as an adolescent , re - read it as an adult and gathered the adaptations ( 1996 , 2006 and 2011 ) during time . but it ' s like a thirst that can ' t be over , i need to see more .\nthe 2006 four - part miniseries brought a lot of buzz and excitement to eyreaholics . here was a masterpiece theatre production with lush sets and scenery , richly detailed costumes , and a slightly modern flavor to the classic story . the series opened with young jane , played by georgie henley [ lucy pevensie in the chronicles of narnia ] , walking alone through a vast desert . the film then shows jane hidden in her window seat , engrossed in a book so much that she seems to enter different worlds . this was a memorable and creative way to start off the new adaptation , suggesting to the audience that there may be some surprises and changes along the way . additionally , the viewer becomes privy to jane\u2019s inner world , much like it is in the novel .\nwell , that about wraps it up ! if i haven\u2019t convinced you yet to watch the 1983 adaptation , let me point out i think timothy dalton is every bit as good as toby stephens from the 2006 miniseries ( which i never thought i\u2019d say ) , and perhaps even a little bit closer to the character in the book . while toby plays off the sarcasm with great skill ( with no two actors having matched the chemistry between him and ruth wilson ) , dalton understands how to capture the true essence of a byronic .\nthis mini - series is a critically acclaimed adaptation of bronte ' s jane eyre . it was nominated for several awards in 2007 - 2008 , including bafta tv awards , awards from the broadcasting press guild , satellite awards , primetime emmy awards , and a golden globe award . in 2007 , the mini - series won a bafta tv award and three primetime emmy awards for outstanding art direction , outstanding costumes , and outstanding hairstyling for a miniseries or a movie ."]}

or - so to escape the heat of the day . the breakfast food quality was good , including a great eggstation , but they need to improve their western breakfast selection . the lunch and dinner food in the restaurant was also excellent , receiving high praise from my wife ( who is thai ) . our boy also enjoyed feeding the fish with his grandad in the adjacent well - stocked feature pond ( 10 baht a bag from the bar ) . staff , right across the board , were friendly and helpful at all times . we would not hesitate to return to this resort the next time we ' re in kanchanaburi .\n1 . we thought a\nsuite\nmeant two separate rooms . it doesn ' t . you walk into one room , there ' s a short hallway with bathroom on one side , then the room with the queen bed . 2 . a / c in the room w / bunkbeds was broken . if it had been any hotter during our stay , my daughter ' s asthma would have been an issue . 3 . weight limit on the bunkbeds was 150 lbs . had to put mattress on the floor . 4 . wifi in room was almost non -

looking young skylarks lurking among the corn when their parents had a third brood , but they should be able to flit away \u2014 or if necessary run away , which they are good at doing \u2014 and escape the combines . the greater threat to them comes from a shortage of drinking water , especially if streams run dry .\ncustomer service was lacking . we were not able to check into our room until 6pm ( check in time was 3pm ) . limited staff to assist with many disgruntled customers . they were \u201cunable to reach housekeeping\u201d to assess if rooms were ready . bellman didn\u2019t open the door at all for my handicapped mother ( even as the automatic open shut on her ) . no assistance with luggage . our compensation was a bottle of water . i asked to speak with a manager , there wasn\u2019t one available until the next morning , and the i apparently missed them by 15 minutes the next day . i asked for a call to discuss my dissatisfaction - and as of yet , i haven\u2019t received a call . while this is a good location , there are many other places you can spend $ 400 + on a room and be treated like royalty . we will not be customers again to do lack of customer service .\ni ' ve never been this sad to leave a place , but my entire family and i became quite attached to the place in our all - too - short , 4 day stay . our room was large and clean . it ' s a bit quirky that the hotel key gets docked in order to keep on the ac and lights on in the room , but i assume it ' s for energy saving . regardless , the room never got too warm when we were out and about . the bed was firmer than i was used to , but honestly , we were so exhausted from our sightseeing activities that it didn ' t matter much . we used their travel service to book a van for both a trip to erawan and to the airport . it was large and immaculately clean . the pool was well stocked with chaise lounges and a few feet from the bar , where we could get generously sized cocktails . the included breakfast had a diverse selection of eastern and western options . their dinners were incredible - some of the best thai food i ' ve had , but also several western options are included - which was helpful for my nut and shellfish allergic daughter . dining by the river kwai at sunset isn ' t something i ' ll soon forget . all of these good things aside , the thing that makes this place stand out the most is its staff . i ' ve never encountered kinder , more helpful people anywhere . everyone is warm and friendly and truly seems like they want to help you , not just because they are being paid to . on our last night , my husband hurt his back and had to go to the local er . the gentleman who drives their motorcycle taxi took us in his personal vehicle and stayed with us the entire time , providing much needed compassion and humor . he is a gem ! the next day , everyone was asking how my husband was feeling . this place has set a new bar for me in terms of hospitality and the warmth of staff .\nthe hotel is located right at times square , you couldn ' t be closer . it take half a minute to walk to the famous red stairs and feel like you ' re standing in the center of nyc . the staff was friendly , even though they would never greet you , ask or say anything when you enter or leave the building , seemed a bit like they didn ' t notice anyone . the elevators are a bit of a pain , as they are really slow and stop too often ; sometimes it takes you four to five minutes to get to your apartment . the rooms were clean , even though not in a perfect shape ( they could for sure invest a few extra dollars ) . the main problem was the noise at night and in the early morning . the windows are super thin and do not at all prevent noise from entering . it was really loud . i was able to fall asleep quite quickly , but my girlfriend had a hard time . the hotel is awesome for one until three nights , but if you are planning on staying any longer , you should either consider bringing oropax or book another hotel if street noise annoys you badly .\nthis site uses cookies . by using this site you are agreeing to our privacy and cookie policy .\nraintree pictures ' homerun -

based movie industry . the film is a notch above the average fare turned out by lahore - based film makers , however there are too many distractions and below - par attributes of the film that attenuate what was potentially a strong plot . the story revolves around a hotel - heiress ( our director , reema , in the title role ) who gets married to an ordinary joe ( muamar rana ) , the subsequent affair of the husband and a murder which transforms the movie from what is seemingly a sappy love story to a pseudo - thriller that is interrupted by many song and dance sequences , useless comedy and some very surreal characters ( nadeem as\nuncle romeo\nbeing one of them ) . the story line is strong , but it ' s in the screen writing department that the film suffers the most . there was absolutely no need for constant interruptions by the asinine comic acts , and the kind of characters shaped by the script writers call their own sanity and intelligence in question . nadeem as uncle romeo ? ! ? ! give me a break ! everyone hams to the hilt - - it seems that the lahore film industry feels that unless that characters go totally over the top , their message won ' t register with the audience . veena malik is very , very annoying . the songs come as distractions and do not take the plot forward , even though amjad bobby ' s score is decent . camera work is shoddy , and typical lahore - film industry style , the zoom lens is overused and is there in probably 70 % of the frames of the movie . speaks volumes about the lazy dops that reema khan employed . there is a twist in the movie that catches you by surprise and is the only redeeming quality of the film , along with the decent wardrobe choice and overall lack of tackiness that ' s generally associated with lahore made movies . for that , and the pleasant wardrobe and some eye candy thrown throughout the film , it gets a 5 from me . that too because it is a debut effort from a lady not exactly known for her refinement or sophistication .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na married couple lives happily in singapore but than someone try to come between them .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\n3 of 3 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\n, masterfully crafted with its brilliant print , excellent songs and above all , unlollywood approach .\nthan before and decided to stay home , watching dvds and cable tv until a talented reema ` khan\u2019 decided to call the shots . with more than 150 films since her debut\nand excelled in most of the departments which was unexpected since her film featured a younger moammar rana as her husband , newcomers simran and babrak as the second lead and the undisputed queen of overacting , veena malik , as the vamp . but the presence of veterans nadeem and irfan khoosat in very important roles ensures that the film does better than\nis about a married pakistani couple settled in kuala lumpur , malaysia , until deception breaks their bond of trust . reema and moammar star as bella and peeru . reema\u2019s character , in a fit of envious rage , apparently shoots dead her philandering husband\u2019s secretary , beena ( veena ) after finding them in a comprising situation ( a pre - interval steamy seduction number ) . enters nadeem as uncle romeo , friend of bella\u2019s father seth surkhaab ( afzaal ahmed ) to help her get back on her feet and avenge herself .\nsurprisingly , in this era of advanced ballistics and forensics , no one bothered to check whether the bullets fired were from bella\u2019s gun or not . did they match the shooting weapon ? was the angle from which they were supposed to have been shot the correct one ? it didn\u2019t happen mostly because it was just a film ( and a pakistani one at that ) and secondly it was for a gullible audience who still believe that one can shoot a plane from the ground with a rifle . in the film , it seems that nearly all the main characters have a license to kill .\nin the post - interval slot , the story moves at a faster pace as the audience finds out that not all is what it seems to be . the dialogues and the direction are top notch with no loopholes except the afore - mentioned ones . there is an alka yagnik song at the climax and before the grand finale which makes you leave the cinema in a happy mood , something only a handful of pakistani films have managed to do in the past decade .\nthe story and dialogues are by khalil ur rahman qamar who has proved himself as a good dialogue writer in recent times . some of his dialogues meant nothing at the start of the film but proved to be crucially important after the interval . but he failed in one department \u2013 the names of the characters weren\u2019t a well - thought out affair . where do you get names like peeru and bella in our society ?\nwas nadeem named romeo when he was born or was it a title he earned after his wife ` lisa\u2019 ditched him for a ` john clark\u2019 ? irfan khoosat as boota singh while afzaal ahmed as reema\u2019s deceased father , surkhaab seemed too surreal . veena malik\u2019s beena while newcomers simran kauchak and babrak shah are sara and zadeyaar , respectively .\nreema does an admirable job but she must face the fact that she isn\u2019t getting any younger . nadeem\nwas given an all - important role to prove that he still has the ingredients to carry a film on his shoulders and excels , as always . he had just one scene before the interval but after that , he was his usual brilliant self . his wearing a cap reminded one of his earlier movies , especially\nwhere his beautiful smile and handsome cap combined to dazzle many a women in the 1970s . moammar has gained a lot of confidence as an actor and he dances quite brilliantly . the same can be said of newcomer babrak shah who can also dance and act quite well . he impresses in\n, his second film , but fewer scenes ensure that he remains second lead .\nthe surprise package of the film is the import from uk , simran kauchak , the tall , lanky model - turned - actress who resembles sushmita sen and acts quite well . irfan khoosat bagged a quality role after a long time and excelled in making the audience both laugh and cry by uttering his strategically placed dialogue \u201ci love you\u201d throughout the film .\nis ample proof of this . meaning to say \u201csir\u201d in an alluring manner while addressing moammar rana in the film , she only ends up making people laugh . thankfully , moammar , simran and nadeem saheb are there to save the day . the \u201chuppy burday\u201d , \u201cwadding cermony\u201d and \u201cwhat a coincident\u201d uttered by producer , director and female lead , reema , aside , one must give credit to her for she didn\u2019t commit the mistakes people like syed noor always do . her brilliance as a director can be judged from the fact that malaysian - born nasir hassan , who played a police chief , spoke english rather than urdu because had he done that , the audience would have erupted in laughter .\nthe late amjad bobby was undoubtedly one of the best musicians of pakistan\u2019s film industry and this movie provides proof of that . he not only brought back udit narayan to sing in the film for the first time since\nin 2001 , but helped abhijeet bhattacharya make an entry into lollywood . shriya ghoshal , who did well in imran malik\u2019s\n, is back and so is alka yagnik after a one - film stint earlier in lollywood . all singers excel in the songs with udit cornering all by rendering the title track brilliantly .\nis not only better than the usual fare being produced in pakistan but it is an attempt in the right direction for lollywood . reema stands out for choosing malaysia and singapore as locations and using them meaningfully , unlike her contemporaries who waste producers\u2019 money by going to turkey , philippines and europe .\nthe wardrobe is provided by amir adnan and beegee and makeup , a tad bit overdone , by saima\u2019s in karachi and new look , lahore . the choreography , editing and background score , all done by bollywood big names such as the famous saroj khan , akiv ali and solinder sodhi , are at par with international standards , just like the cinematography of waqar bukhari .\nto suffer , was done at lakdawala\u2019s studios in mumbai\u2019s sound city while the spotless processing and printing was done at cine color lab , bangkok , thus helping in first strengthening and later making reema\u2019s claim of an \u201cinternational standard film\u201d a reality .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nhello zafar ji , you can email the information on mathurjayshree @ urltoken she is mr . karan dewan ' s daughter and lives in mumbai\nthanks for sharing such a valuable information gathered at one place . do you have film\nbaadil starring habib and deeba\nthe system -

mehwish - urwa trio .\ni didn\u2019t seem to agree with the start of the trailer \u2013 humayun saeed\u2019s voice over could have been replaced with a powerful scene ; i am sure the film has many . the \u2018when desi meets vilayati\u2019 seems to be a tribute to when harry met sally and could also have been either modified or removed . we don\u2019t get to see much of waseem abbas in the trailer who is appearing in a film after a long time . does the trailer give too much of the story ; i don\u2019t think so because when its nadeem baig as director , things are likely to go into the right direction , than in the wrong .\nit wouldn\u2019t be incorrect to say that pnj is the kind of film our producers and directors must invest in , as they are not depressing but a happy - go - lucky trip with the best people in the business . the culture is all pakistani and so are the dialogues , which is something we were missing here . the screenplay promises to be something huge because when you mix excellent dialogues and performances , a blockbuster is born and this blockbuster is known as punjab nahi jaungi .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nyeh dil aap ka huwa film was made in 2002 . this film was directed by javed sheikh and written by sherry malik , star cast -

sanam saeed starrer may have a similar ring to salman khan\u2019s bajrangi bhaijaan but a complete viewing of bachaana \u2019s trailer would tell otherwise .\nlaughing off comparisons with the indian film , director nasir khan joked that the only similarity audiences are bound to find between the two movies are that , \u201cin bajrangi bhaijaan , they helped return a little girl to pakistan . in bachaana , we\u2019re returning a fully grown girl to india , \u201d he said at the trailer launch of the film .\nhaving earmarked a release date for february 26 , the movie is all set to be the second major release of the calendar year . with the romantic - comedy having been in the works for quite some time , khan shared his excitement at the film finally seeing the light of day . \u201ci have been working on this for the past three years . visualising it in my head first , and then planning for it on paper before moving onto its production . so right now i have only one wish \u2013 that audiences finally see the movie , \u201d he remarked .\nbachaana is one of the few films from the new wave of pakistani cinema that has been shot in a foreign location . elaborating upon why the production team chose mauritius as the background setting , khan explained that , \u201cwe could have also gone to bangkok but when we visited mauritius we fell in love with the place . and if audiences get to make a trip to mauritius for just rs400 , what\u2019s so bad about it ? \u201d\nwhile the scenic locations may add to the visual setting , khan remarked that it offers more than just beauty . \u201cthe location plays an important part . mauritius is a small country with a small population . at night it gets really quiet over there and the sort of problems and situations they get into are complemented by the nature of the place . \u201d\nboasting of some of pakistani television\u2019s most renowned faces such as mohib mirza , sanam saeed and adeel hashmi , the director remarked that audiences will get to see the cast in completely new avatars \u2013 one that they were not accustomed to .\nhashmi joked how he had initially decided against doing the film but when he heard they were filming in mauritius , he was instantly on board . on a serious note , the actor shared that more than anything else , he was keen on contributing towards the revival of pakistani cinema .\nknown more for her stint on television with serials like zindagi gulzar hai , sanam saeed termed her role in the movie as a far cry from the intense and message - oriented characters that she plays on the small screen .\n\u201cit\u2019s really fun to see myself and mohib in a different avatar . not so serious , not so angry , not crying ; just really being silly and laughing , \u201d stated the movie\u2019s female lead .\nproduced by rizwan saeed , bachaana is expected to have a runtime of less than two hours . \u201cin a two and a half hour long film , the viewers are constantly checking their cell phones . to keep the audience engaged , it was important to have a tight film , \u201d the director explained .\nbachaana chronicles the journey of an indian girl , aalia ( sanam saeed ) , who encounters a series of unfortunate events and is forced to place her faith in a man she hardly knows . that man , vicky ( mohib mirza ) , is a pakistani taxi driver in mauritius .\nthe soundtrack for the film has been composed by ali sher , symt and pasad saste with indian singer benny dayal also singing a track .\nlike life & style on facebook , follow @ etlifeandstyle on twitter for the latest in fashion , gossip and entertainment .\ni wish them all the very best for this movie . sanam is a great actress and i\u2019m sure she must\u2019ve done a great job there !\nthis material may not be published , broadcast , rewritten , redistributed or derived from .\ni find bollywood movies to be similar to magic shows -

black rubber costume and the fact that not only did the joker kill batman\u2019s parents but that , unlike any other portrayal of the character , batman in this film is totally willing to kill , the characters and the story in this film ultimately remain true to the spirit of the darker comics .\n, paving the way for the dc animated universe , and has influenced hollywood ' s modern marketing and development techniques of the superhero film genre .\nhere ' s some trivia you may not have heard about this iconic film .\nbatman : i want you to do me a favor . i want you to tell all your friends about me . nic : what are you ? batman : i ' m batman .\na site dedicated to the 1989 batman film and its sequel batman returns ! here you ' ll find loads of content related to the movies : old magazine articles , video segments , vintage newspaper clippings , and a large focus on movie merchandise ( especially the kenner toy lines ) . all the views and opinions expressed on this site are mine and should not be viewed as being shared by any of the companies and parties responsible for the film . have a question or want to possibly share something with the site ? send me an e -

in these investors that the film was returning to batman\u2019s true heritage , with the west tv show being addressed as merely a footnote in the overall history . in fact , this film would be the vaccination of the adam west batman -

standing formula and do something that the male ones haven ' t accomplished : expand the female base . and at this point , there ' s no reason to suspect wonder woman can ' t . after all , not all female superhero movies have to go the way of such bombs as catwoman ( or elektra or aeon flux ) , just as not all male superhero movies go the way of green lantern . and if it all goes according to plan , jenkins is more than ready to return to the character for a contemporary - set wonder woman sequel ( she and gadot are contractually committed to a second film ) . not that jenkins wants to limit herself just to tentpoles . she ' s also hoping to squeeze in a limited tv series based on something her husband wrote \u2014 maybe starring chris pine , who plays lyle waggoner ' s old role , steve trevor , in wonder woman \u2014 before returning ( fingers crossed ) to paradise island for another go .\ni loved the story line here , and i think a lot of us probably fantasize about doing what sean ( caleb steinmeyer ) does in this film . it ' s a tale of vigilante justice that really works for the most part . my big issue with the film which almost took me out of it was the acting . i felt caleb steinmeyer was good , but the rest of the cast was just mediocre to bad in my opinion . overall though the good in this film outweighed the bad for me and i had a good time with it .\npeck has hardly had time to celebrate the film\u2019s critical reception , however . since paz de la jolla , he\u2019s moved up to soloist and taken over as resident choreographer for city ballet .\nthe 14th edition of the festival will showcase more than 200 films from 53 countries , including the world premieres of documentaries \u201ckinshasa symphony\u201d by claus wischmann and martin baer ( germany / congo ) , jennifer stoddart\u2019s \u201cone thousand pictures : rfk\u2019s last journey\u201d ( u . s . / united kingdom ) and victoria mills\u2019 globe -

act punch with considerable flair , it does so by shrinking brooklyn to postage - stamp size where a cold - case murder can get swiftly solved since everyone is near at hand and implausible coincidences and twists abound . morrissey also indulges in occasional quirky editing , quick , abrupt cuts that cause a viewer to wonder about the reality of certain scenes \u2014 are they taking place for real or are they taking place in sean\u2019s mind ?\nwhen filming movies , you never film them in sequence . so to go in and out of scenes of my life in a jumbled -

ing for \u2013 as every major male superhero got trotted out in big - screen prequels and sequels galore \u2013 and one with a history that extended far beyond the mere symbolism of a female superhero . after being cast , gadot turned to the warner bros . archives to read the original comics , and she soon learned that wonder woman was the brainchild of william marston , a psychologist who not only helped invent the lie detector and lived in a polyamorous household with his wife ( whom he\u2019d met in middle school ) , his girlfriend ( who\u2019d been his student ) and their four children ( two per woman ) , but who also believed that women were not only equal to men , but probably superior . \u201cfrankly , wonder woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should , i believe , rule the world , \u201d he is noted as saying in jill lepore\u2019s the secret history of wonder woman . and as lepore points out , \u201cin the first story , wonder woman comes to the united states to fight for women\u2019s rights , because this is the last bastion of possibility of equal rights for women . \u201d\nwhen lee , a former st joseph ' s institution student , first revealed that this part of his school life would be incorporated into the film , he received backlash for\ngiving the school a bad name\n.\ndean demetri martin , a former fixture of \u201cthe daily show , \u201d directed , wrote and stars in this film , playing an illustrator who , after his mother\u2019s death , works through a complicated relationship with his father ( kevin kline ) . from last year\u2019s tribeca film festival , mike hale wrote in the new york times that mr . martin \u201cdelivers a winning combination of winsomeness and rue . \u201d gillian jacobs and mary steenburgen also star .\nhiring jenkins , 45 \u2014 who had come close to directing a superhero movie before , the 2013 thor sequel , but ended up backing out \u2014 was obviously a big gamble for warner bros . , a studio that has been having creative if not necessarily financial issues with its superhero franchise films ever since the dark knight trilogy . but her taking the helm of wonder woman is also a big deal for pretty much every female director in hollywood with tentpole ambitions . if wonder woman is a hit , then doors that have been kept shut for decades could potentially swing open ( they are already , at least a crack , with gina prince - bythewood just getting hired to direct sony ' s spider - man spinoff silver & black ) . if , on the other hand , wonder woman turns out to be another catwoman , the superhero universe could remain a boys club for eons to come .\nother cast members include television actress constance song as lee ' s mother and chen yixi , son of veteran actors edmund chen and xiang yun , as one of the members in lee ' s old band , the wonder boys . the role of lee ' s father has not been cast yet .\nyou see i just dont understand the world . films of quality such as this barely get known yet we are spun the same old junk at the cinema . rent it , buy it -

. this belief is identical to standard witchcraft . the only significant difference is that the witch has to very carefully bring the demon into this dimension , because the demon is going to materialize cursing , spitting , and fighting , whereas jesus is pictured as coming into our realm in a loving manner . in fact , the witch has to carefully prepare a 9 - foot circle on the ground or the floor , and the witch must be very careful not to step outside the circle , nor allow any of the members of the coven to do so . if anyone steps outside the circle , they step outside their protection and will suffer instant death at the hands of the demon . the only reason the catholic priest does not have to stay inside a circle , and does not have to have members of the congregation inside the same circle is that the catholic practice of witchcraft is symbolic whereas the witch\u2019s practice is very real . the host \u2014 the round wafer supposedly turns into the actual body of jesus christ , according to the catholic doctrine of transubstantiation . of course , we know this cannot ever really happen , because the bible expressly forbids the eating of human flesh ! however , this mystical catholic doctrine was declared by pope honorius in 1220 a . d . this round circle of bread bears the three letters i . h . s . contrary to what catholics say this means , i . h . s .

wrenching testimonies about the rape , torture and murder of children as recently as 2010 by catholic leaders , european royal family members and other global elites . murder sites of the ninth circle satanic child sacrifice cult were said to be in the catacombs of catholic cathedrals including the vatican and on private estates , military establishments and groves in belgium , holland , spain , australia , france , england and the us .\nwild -

- is it the one that ' s on the supposed good side , or the supposed bad guy willing to help and answer your questions ? the ninth circle is a fantastical , unique , odd , dark ride through the pages of a journal kept by a man who doesn ' t remember who he is but slowly begins to unravel the puzzle of his life as he learns to become himself from scratch . i enjoyed every moment of it , even the melancholy end that kept me wanting more . . .\nthe iclcj court received a collection of jesuit archival records about a child sacrificial cult known as the knights of darkness . in 1933 the knights were established by the catholic jesuits and nazi waffen s . s . division . the records showed ratzinger was identified as a member of the knights while working as an s . s . chaplain\u2019s assistant at the ravensbruck concentration camp in germany . the records also stated that ratzinger participated in child sacrificial rites using kidnapped children from the camps or political prisoners .\nwhat can i say more . . that similar rituals has been going on long time ago in the ancient traditions of the nations . . resurrection ancient pagan , new spiritual awakening , . . along with the knowledge what scientific prove the universe have conciousness unfortunately , not matched by the resurrection of the christians spirituality . . we know the early days of christian developing when they really live in the spirit , but where can i see now ?\nin the city of budapest a man wakes up in a kitchen , his face stuck to the floor with dried blood . he has no idea of who he is , only that he apparently fell and hit his head while putting up shelves and that on a nearby table there is a box filled with a large amount of cash . according to papers he finds in the apartment his name is gabriel antaeus but other than that he knows nothing about himself or how he came to be there . the ninth circle begins with a setup that would do justice to any traditional suspense thriller but very quickly becomes something else . using a journal to orient himself , gabriel begins to document his days and the search for his identity and as he does so he describes a man capable of seemingly contradictory extremes : at once feeling sickened by the death of an insect and having to restrain himself from joyously killing other people . as time goes on and he struggles to re - create his life from small clues he finds it becomes apparent that there is something else going on - something larger than one man with amnesia - and as the pieces of information slowly come together the suspense builds slowly but surely . like gabriel , the reader is sure that something is wrong - very wrong - and , like gabriel , may come to some wrong conclusions about what it might be . it ' s difficult to discuss this novel without giving away plot points , however small , that readers may prefer to find out for themselves . it ' s also a novel that starts out as one thing and ends as something else entirely , morphing so slowly along the way that the moment of transformation is impossible to pinpoint . if you enjoy suspense thrillers as well as fantasy novels , i recommend giving the ninth circle a try . i will certainly be keeping my eyes open for other books by this author .\nthe dance hall is a performing arts organization housed in the historic former grange hall in downtown kittery , maine . the mission of the dance hall is to engage the seacoast community by promoting , advancing and sponsoring artistic endeavors , creative work and education in dance , music and performing arts .\nb : to facilitate an active and open dialog among members concerning the growth of the leather community for all persons .\nafter nearly five years off the air , a resurrection of the show was hardly expected . but never say never .\nwe the people : bill and hillary clinton fly commercial twice in one weekend and the former president is . . .\nthe latest sandals -

all of it colored with gabriel\u2019s suspicion so i no longer knew which definition i could trust . skillfully written , subtly twisted and darkly wonderful . an unforgettable read , i highly recommend . \u201can apology for the devil ; it must be remembered that we have heard only one side of the case ; god has written all the books . \u201d p 119 \u2018what rubbish ! \u2019 i protested . \u2018good and evil are opposites . \u2019 \u2018no , not really , \u2019 stephomi said mildly . \u2018hot and cold are opposites , but haven\u2019t you ever touched something so scalding that for a moment you think it\u2019s freezing ? when you get to extremes , the brain confuses the two , can\u2019t process them properly , mixes them up . or perhaps it\u2019s just that they\u2019re really not all that different to begin with . \u2019 p 122 \u2018well . . . sometimes it\u2019s possible to catch glimpses of angles and demons in places of the in between . graveyards \u2013because they are places that belong to both the living and the dead . churches \u2013places of the both the mortal and the divine . the moments before sunrise and sunset where the earth belongs to both night and day . mirrors that reflect reality the wrong way round and dreams that allow both the possible and impossible all at once . . . p 123\nthe film was also released in more than 30 countries , including the u . s . , the soviet union , france , italy , great britain , germany , israel , argentina , australia , and japan .\nthe ninth circle begins with a man waking up in a room he\u2019s never seen before , a large amount of money on a table and his head stuck to the floor by a copious amount of dried blood . he has no idea of who he is , barely able to remember his name , until it comes to him , he is gabriel . \u201cgabriel antaeus , \u201d he mutters , the name strange and unfamiliar in his mouth . clueless about what he is doing there , all he knows is that he is in budapest , which he recognises as a place he knows . he hides out in the room for several days , trying to figure out what has happened to him . then ventures out one night and sees a woman he seems to recognise , she is terrified at the sight of him , but he follows her , chasing through the dark streets , convinced he knows her somehow . she is set upon by thieves and he wades in , astonished to find he has superhuman strength , but when he has vanquished the thieves she has disappeared in the melee . the novel then takes the form of his journal by which he tries to puzzle through the mystery of his existence . he writes down what happens to him from this somewhat puzzling beginning . angels , devils , and an ambiguous assistant , stephomi , appear before him as he roams budapest and for a while he seems on the cusp of reality and illusion . but his neighbour , casey , is real , and gradually he is drawn to her and her dilemma . she is pregnant and dismisses his suggestion that she try to find the father of the child . he doesn\u2019t exist . yes , it is to be a virgin birth . from here on , is where i got lost somewhat . there are a variety of strange experiences , culminating in the death of casey as she gives birth to twins , two girls , one of which is the antichrist . and if you like the ideas , if the thought of a battle in the sky involving angels and demons , devils and homonuclii move you , all i can say is good luck , and good night .\na man comes round on the floor of a shabby flat in the middle of budapest . his head is glued to the floorboards with his own blood . there ' s a fortune in cash on the kitchen table . and he has no idea where , or who , he is .\nat its start this book is captivating ; the writing is quick yet descriptively beautiful , and though it seems to drag on a little towards the middle , the question of this man ' s identity always remains in the reader ' s mind . however , towards the end , the book takes a downwards turn and becomes a little too clich\u00e9 for my tastes : i continued with this on the hope and premise that it didn ' t seem very generically angel -

you\u2019re freedom of speech rights are not going to protect you from criminal and civil punishments for screaming \u201cfire ! \u201d and there wasn\u2019t one . freedom of speech extends only so far as one does not harm or impinge upon the rights of others in the exercising of it . well , the same can be said about the interview as a propaganda film whose plot explicitly involves the murder of a living national leader ( regardless of whether or not the u . s . is friendly or unfriendly with that national leader ) and that country ( or its allies ) threaten to attack moviegoers because of this film\u2019s blatant underlying message of \u201cdeath to its national leader\u201d . the movie studio has a moral and civil responsibility not to release the film to protect moviegoers that trumps freedom of speech .\ncharlie and tonya were arrested , driven to separate police stations and taken into interrogation rooms . state police officer scott wade , who had been home enjoying a night off , was called in to question tonya . she told him that she and charlie had been driving around that night when he asked her to stop and let him out of the car . she did , she told wade , and then a few minutes later she swung back to pick him up . she didn\u2019t know he\u2019d gone to light the fire , she said . she didn\u2019t know anything about the arsons .\nshe and charlie had driven 20 miles to the wal -

story house , stuffing an old shirt underneath , and using a cigarette lighter to ignite the blaze .\nfrom the temp agency , amalgamated has ordered the exact number of humans it should take to fill this week\u2019s orders if we work at top capacity . lots of retailers use temporary help in peak season , and online ones are no exception . but lots of warehousing and distribution centers like this also use temps year - round . the bureau of labor statistics found that more than 15 percent of pickers , packers , movers , and unloaders are temps . they make $ 3 less an hour on average than permanent workers . and they can be \u201ctemporary\u201d for years . there are so many temps in this warehouse that the staffing agency has its own office here . industry consultants describe the temp - staffing business as \u201cvery , very busy . \u201d \u201con fire . \u201d maximizing profits means making sure no employee has a slow day , means having only as many employees as are necessary to get the job done , the number of which can be determined and ordered from a huge pool of on - demand labor literally by the day . often , temp workers have to call in before shifts to see if they\u2019ll get work . sometimes , they\u2019re paid piece rate , according to the number of units they fill or unload or move . always , they can be let go in an instant , and replaced just as quickly .\nthe board approved foster + partners\u2019 design in 2012 . just as apple\u2019s consumer products are obsessively prototyped , its new headquarters would be no different . there would be working models of various sections of the ring scattered around the area : a mocked - up stretch of a tunnel in one of the hp buildings before it was demolished ; an actual working caf\u00e9 near infinite loop that served as a scaled - down replica of the apple park version . \u201cwe viewed the construction process as a manufacturing project and wanted to do as much outside of here as possible . then you begin to put together legos , \u201d says cook , who built his reputation as a master of supply chain efficiency .\nthe meetings often lasted for five or six hours , consuming a significant amount of time in the last two years of jobs\u2019 life . he could be scary when he swooped down on a detail he demanded . at one point , behling recalls , jobs discussed the walls he had in mind for the offices : \u201che knew exactly what timber he wanted , but not just \u2018i like oak\u2019 or \u2018i like maple . \u2019 he knew it had to be quarter - \u00adcut . it had to be cut in the winter , ideally in january , to have the least amount of sap and sugar content . we were all sitting there , architects with gray hair , going , \u2018holy shit ! \u2019\u201d\nthere are people who make the goals . one of the trainers does . she works here all year , not just during christmas . \u201ci hated picking for the first month , \u201d she told me sympathetically the other day . \u201cthen you just get used to it . \u201d she\u2019s one of many hardcore workers here , a labor pool studded with dedicated and solid employees . one of the permanent employees has tried to encourage me by explaining that he always makes his goals , and sometimes makes 120 percent of them . when i ask him if that isn\u2019t totally exhausting , he says , \u201coh yeah . you\u2019re gonna be crying for your mommy when today\u2019s over . \u201d when i ask him if there\u2019s any sort of incentive for his overperformance , if he\u2019s rewarded in any way , he says occasionally amalgamated enters him in drawings for company gift cards . for $ 15 or $ 20 . he shrugs when he admits the size of the bonus . \u201cthese days you need it . \u201d anyway , he says , he thinks it\u2019s important to have a good attitude and try to do a good job . even some of the employees who are total failures are still trying really hard . \u201ci heard you\u2019re doing good , \u201d one of the ladies in my training group says to me . her eyebrows are heavy with stress . i am still hitting less than 60 percent of my target . still , that\u2019s better than she\u2019s doing . \u201ccongratulations , \u201d she says , and smiles sadly .\nat wal - mart , she said , charlie wanted to buy a package of steak - umms . she told him no . they were trying to stay on a budget . he acted petulant . they left , and in the car , he asked if she wanted to stop at another wal - mart down in onley . she said fine , thinking maybe he\u2019d decided on something else to buy her sons . in the second wal - mart , she went to the underwear section . he followed her there , just like he used to follow her into her clothing shop , or from room to room after they first started dating . now , it bothered her . she asked him , \u201cdo you have to be up in my ass while i\u2019m looking at underwear ? \u201d\nduring my tour , when we pass through an aboveground parking garage , ive quivers with enthusiasm as he describes what we\u2019re seeing . he points out how smooth the edges are on the concrete beams and how carefully molded the curves are at the rectangular building\u2019s corners , like perfectly formed round - rects on a dialog box . further\u00admore , infrastructure like water pipes and electrical conduits is hidden in the beams , so the whole thing doesn\u2019t look like a basement . \u201cit\u2019s not that we\u2019re using expensive concrete , \u201d ive says , defining what he calls the transformative nature of this parking garage . \u201cit\u2019s the care and development of a design idea and then being resolute\u2014no , we\u2019re not going to just do the easy , least - path - of - resistance sort of standardized form work . \u201d\n\u201cjust look around in here if you wanna see how bad it is out there , \u201d one of the associates at the temp office said to me , unprompted , when i got hired . it\u2019s the first time anyone has ever tried to comfort me because i got a job , because he knew , and everyone in this industry that\u2019s growing wildfire fast knows , and accepts , that its model by design is mean . he offered me the same kind of solidarity the workers inside the warehouse try to provide each other at every break : why are you here ? what happened that you have to let people treat you like this ? \u201cwe\u2019re all in the same boat , \u201d he said , after shaking my hand to welcome me aboard . \u201cit\u2019s a really big boat . \u201d\nsoon , we move on to practical training . like all workplaces with automated and heavy machinery , this one contains plenty of ways to get hurt , and they are enumerated . there are transition points in the warehouse floor where the footing is uneven , and people trip and sprain ankles . give forklifts that are raised up several stories to access products a wide berth : \u201cif a pallet falls on you , you won\u2019t be working with us anymore . \u201d watch your fingers around the conveyor belts that run waist - high throughout the entire facility . people lose fingers . or parts of fingers . and about once a year , they tell us , someone in an amalgamated warehouse gets caught by the hair , and when a conveyor belt catches you by the hair , it doesn\u2019t just take your hair with it . it rips out a piece of scalp as well .\napple will ultimately plant almost 9 , 000 trees . muffly was told that the landscape should be futureproof and that he should choose drought - tolerant varieties so his mini forest and meadows could survive a climate crisis . ( as part of its ecological efforts to prevent such a crisis , apple claims , its buildings will run solely on sustainable energy , most of it from solar arrays on the roofs . ) jobs\u2019 aims were not just aesthetic . he did his best thinking during walks and was especially inspired by ambling in nature , so he envisioned how apple workers would do that too . \u201ccan you imagine doing your work in a national park ? \u201d says tim cook , who succeeded jobs as ceo in 2011 . \u201cwhen i really need to think about something i\u2019m struggling with , i get out in nature . we can do that now ! it won\u2019t feel like silicon valley at all . \u201d\njobs hated air - conditioning and especially loathed fans . ( he vigilantly tried to keep them out of his computers . ) but he also didn\u2019t want people opening windows , so he insisted on natural ventilation , a building that breathes just like the people who work inside it . \u201cthe flaps and the opening mechanism , \u201d behling explains , \u201call have to relate to sensors that measure where the wind is coming from and how the air goes through it . \u201d unlike sealed buildings in which the temperature is rigidly controlled , the ring circulates outside air . the concrete in the floor and ceiling is embedded with tubes of water and is supposed to lock in a temperature between 68 and 77 degrees , so that the heating or cooling system will kick in only on very hot or cold days . ( in theory some workers can use thermostats to adjust the temperature in a given pod , but only by a couple of degrees . )\nthe computers screening us for suitability to pack boxes or paste labels belong to a temporary - staffing agency . the stuff we order from big online retailers lives in large warehouses , owned and operated either by the retailers themselves or by third - party logistics contractors , a . k . a . 3pls . these companies often fulfill orders for more than one retailer out of a single warehouse . america\u2019s largest 3pl , exel , has 86 million square feet of warehouse in north america ; it\u2019s a subsidiary of deutsche post dhl , which is cute because deutsche post is the german post office , which was privatized in the 1990s and bought dhl in 2002 , becoming one of the world\u2019s biggest corporate employers . the $ 31 billion \u201cvalue - added warehousing and distribution\u201d sector of 3pls is just a fraction of what large 3pls\u2019 parent companies pull in . ups\u2019s logistics division , for example , pulls in more than a half a billion , but it feeds billions of dollars of business to ups inc ."]}

the film was later remade into telugu as vamsa vruksham , starring anil kapoor\nthe film is about the teacher who miserably fails in blending his daily educative chores on society interfering philosophically in guiding a tough lad . although vishnuvardhan ' s character cannot be called a cobra ( having venom ) but he is too tough a guy who doesn ' t listen to anybody but has an obvious anger towards the age old caste system and inefficiency of urban society in holding up culture which makes his first love a prostitute under a corrupt husband . at the climax the deaths of chamayya and ramachari are also portrayed magnificently on a hill . the movie ends with chamayya master falling to his death from the hill when ramachari pushes him in a fit of rage when his master tells\nif you want to marry her , you have to witness my death before it\n. he will not have any motive to kill his master , but it shows his respect for his master since he doesn ' t want to hear about his master ' s death . ramachari , shocked by this incident asks margaret to join him in a bid to accompany his beloved teacher in death , to which she happily agrees .\nvishnuvardhan , balakrishna , p .

anand ( vishnuvardhan ) who unknown to him has been kidnapped and raised by venkatappa naika ( balakrishna ) to exact revenge on his father . in the final scenes , anand gets hold of kumar ' s mother and asks him to not interfere or that he will set fire to the forest . but kumar shoots anand , fatally injuring him in the chest . venkatappa then comes in climax and reveals that anand is kumar ' s

veeraswamy , g . k . venkatesh\nbhootayya is a ruthless zamindar of a small village , who used to mercilessly occupy the land of the villagers to whom he had lent money , when they fail to repay their debts . he was very shrewd and talked the villagers into building a dam across the river in the outskirts of the village , which was prone to floods . he gets hold of the fertile land on the banks of the river and builds a house for his son ayyu . the villagers remain wary of ayyu , and the most rebellious among them was gulla . he is very outspoken and tries to restrict ayyu from being mean and merciless towards the villagers like bhootayya . gulla\u2019s father had way back given a surety to bhootayya for somebody else\u2019s debt and was unable to repay the money . ayyu promptly goes with his men to confiscate gulla ' s house . in an ensuing argument , gulla smacks ayyu . ayyu takes it serious and files a police complaint against gulla , who is then arrested by the police . unable to bear the consequences , gulla\u2019s father dies . thus , begins a prolonged enmity between gulla and ayyu and both swear to kill each other . gulla also hires a lawyer to teach ayyu a lesson and starts spending all his property on the court case . when gulla swears to kill ayyu , gulla\u2019s wife goes to ayyu to warn him and also ask him to forgive her husband . but , ayyu behaves ruthlessly

midnight , and set his house on fire . ayyu , who is a changed person now , simply states this as an accident when the district police come to investigate the case . this incident begins to make an impact on the villagers to change their perceptions about ayyu .\nwith his house burned down , ayyu goes with his family to live in the house by the river . one day ayyu goes to the town , leaving behind his family . the village is into floods and ayyu\u2019s house is in danger . ayyu\u2019s wife and kids try to come out of the house as the dam collapses and the water enters the house drowning it completely . gulla takes a raft and single - handedly sets out to rescue ayyu\u2019s family . with much difficulty , he saves ayyu\u2019s family and brings them to the safety . ayyu reaches the village and is shocked to see the plight of the village . but he is relieved to see that gulla has rescued them .\nayyu hugs gulla and they end their years of hatred and enmity . the villagers help

directional relationship between depression and blood sugar problems i . e . stress / depression causes low bdnf levels which increases the chances of developing high blood sugar / diabetes type ii and having high blood sugar / type ii diabetes causes low bdnf levels which increase the chances of developing depression .\nbouts of low blood sugar can trigger the release of the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol which can trigger an anxiety attack .\ndue to the high fan demand for more blood content , especially after monolith stopped working on the series , many add - on projects have sprung up . the goal of most of these has been to replicate or expand on the original blood experience .\nspikes in blood sugar can cause surges in serotonin and dopamine levels , the subsequent bout of low blood sugar can cause a sudden withdrawal of these neurotransmitters and starve the brain of energy triggering bouts of intense symptoms which can last for hours or days .\nvinegar syndrome has detailed its upcoming blu -

chain amino acids or bcaa\u2019s . in another chapter i discuss how we can use bcaa\u2019s to inhibit tyrosine metabolism and deplete excessive levels of dopamine to curtail a bipolar manic episode .\nthe combination of a mental health problem and high blood sugar can become a real downward health spiral , therefore if you have a mental health problem and high blood sugar you should aggressively treat both conditions and reverse the situation including doing everything you can to increase bdnf levels .\nanother consequence of having chronically high blood sugar is that the excess glucose in the blood increases the production of what are called advanced glycation end products ( age ) . i talk about the harmful effects of age and how to reduce their formation in more detail on my website\nblood and its expansions were made available for purchase from the digital distribution service urltoken under the one unit : whole blood name on april 10 , 2010 . this was followed by a release on valve software ' s steam service on july 14 , 2014 alongside blood ii : the chosen and its the nightmare levels expansion . atari also began selling the games directly through its own website at around the same time .\nmost of the extras on this blu - ray are for blood mania with the commentary by robert vincent o\u2019neill ( director ) , leslie simms ( actress ) and vicki peters ( actress ) reminiscing about the production . there is an 8 - minute video interview and introduction to that film with director robert vincent o\u2019neill , plus a 14 -

- first a dot , then a red dot , then a photo of blood , etc . - - until the phobics are looking directly at blood without fainting . the exposure technique is used for treatment of other fears like , say , arachnophobia , but the tensing specifically counter - acts the drop in blood pressure caused by blood phobia and similar disorders . it ' s proven to be a surprisingly quick and effective treatment for the phobia .\nfor sega , sonic mania is the best bet for a comeback with this being its 25th anniversary , the hands -

scrolling , 2d glory . the transition from 2d to 3d has never been easy , and the reception of mania and forces seems to prove this . the consensus among fans and critics is that sonic in 3d is less dynamic and player - friendly while classic sonic is fun and thrilling in a 3d - dominated game world .\nat that moment , sherman appears to have chewed through mac\u2019s wristband , with dee , mac , and a gaggle of kids hitting the pool as the cloud of blood turns the water red . unaware of charlie and frank\u2019s scam , dee hears that the blood came from someone with aids and begins to have a meltdown .\nand when blood sugar levels fall either too low or just too quickly the first part of the body to suffer is the brain and consequently our mental function .\nthere\u2019s extensive research in mainstream medicine into the low blood sugar that diabetics accidentally induce by a injecting themselves with too much insulin , but there is hardly any research into the bouts of low blood sugar that non - diabetic people can experience within 4 hours of eating due to an excessive production of insulin from their own pancreas .\nit has even been suggested that a blood test for elevated levels of amino acids including bcaa\u2019s could be used as an early diagnostic test for diabetes [ xiv ] .\ngamingonlinux reviewer hamish paul wilson decided in a 2015 retrospective that blood was easily the best of the three major build engine games , stating that blood was\none of the most underrated shooters of the whole decade . blood arguably built more on the legacy of duke nukem 3d than shadow warrior did , taking its gameplay to sophisticated new heights and offering its referential overtones with an even greater degree of refinement .\nin a 2017 video review of zblood prominent youtuber gggmanlives agreed , commenting that out of the major build engine games blood always\nedged itself out as [ his ] favourite of the three\n. player attack described blood in a 2011 article as\nthe best of the build engine games after duke nukem 3d , with its combination of scary atmosphere , great level design and challenging gameplay putting it above the rest .\nwith those words , iizuka seems to understand old - school fans ' desire to return to the original side - scrolling sonic . sonic mania manages to build on the 1990 ' s games while revising , remixing and adding to an already sturdy foundation .\nfirstly do you remember from the discussion above when the pancreas makes insulin to transport excess sugar out of the blood it also transport bcaa\u2019s out of the blood and this facilitates more tryptophan to enter the brain and increase serotonin production . what happens in insulin resistance is the cells of the body become resistant or immune to insulin , with the result that not only does insulin no longer effectively sweep glucose out of the blood but it also no longer effectively sweep bcaa\u2019s out of the blood so tryptophan\u2019s entry into the brain is diminished . several studies have confirmed that bcaa levels are elevated in people with insulin resistance [ xi ] [ xii ] , and rates of depression are increased [ xiii ] .\nwith the overwhelming success of the duke nukem 3d shareware release and anticipation already building for 3d realms ' upcoming shadow warrior , we have some understandably high expectations to live up to . at this point , we are confident that blood will surpass those expectations by leaps and bounds , just as it has already surpassed our own .\n- -

shot introductory sequence inserted before they are actually introduced in the theatrical version . there is also a new scene of carpenter driving a body to the beach and burying it . point of terror loses nudity and some gore but the only differences are a ten minute flashback to carpenter ' s youth as a shoeshine boy ( also shot some time after the theatrical release ) and a nightmare recap inserted at the end .\nresearch has shown that in some people\u2019s brains at least a rise in blood sugar significantly increases dopamine activity , this could produce a destabilising effect in people with bipolar syndrome , addiction and some types of atypical or treatment resistant depression . this is because imbalances in the neurotransmitter dopamine seem to be at the heart of bipolar syndrome and addiction . during bouts of mania dopamine activity becomes excessive it\u2019s similar to a cocaine high which research has shown involves heightened activity in the dopamine pathways of the brain ; in the bipolar depression phase which often follows a bout of mania dopamine activity becomes diminished [ iii ] in a similar way to the come - down experienced after taking cocaine , it appears as that the dopaminergic pathways become overworked and burnt out during the mania ( or cocaine high ) resulting in a crash from hyperactivity to depression . as mentioned previously during bouts of hypoglycaemia in the brain is starved of fuel and i believe this makes it even harder for depleted dopaminergic pathways to recover .\npeter carpenter stars as dr . craig cooper . and though carpenter is a lot more obscure and not inherently more interesting than the females of the cast , carpenter died only a year after blood mania was released , under what was vaguely referred to as \u201cmysterious circumstances\u201d of a brain hemorrhage in malibu , ca in 1971 . he seems a prime mover of this film , co - writer and producer as well as lead . wonder what happened to him .\nthat\u2019s really the bottom line with sonic mania for me so far : this is for all intents and purposes the sonic 4 we\u2019ve wanted for the past 20 + years . this is it . it might not be perfect , but neither are the originals . and if you didn\u2019t like those original games then sonic mania likely won\u2019t change your mind . but for fans of classic sonic who have yearned for more , your moment has finally arrived . plus sonic mania seems like a pretty big game too , and i have no doubt there are many secrets waiting to be revealed over the coming weeks , months , years , and maybe even decades . it\u2019s already dumped all sorts of awesome nods and easter eggs to the entire previous sonic games library , and i\u2019m only a couple of hours in so far .\ni liked blood mania - it was a sleazy , fun cheapjack drive - in\nthriller\n. i miss crown international - style movies and hate today ' s big budget cg effect bullshit . the gorehouse greats set is fuckin fantastic since it costs less than $ 5 online for 12 ( ! ) movies . check out millcreeks 12 packs cult terror cinema and savage cinema for more crown drive - in hijinks ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nthe premise of this chapter is that in people with mental health problems including depression , anxiety , addiction and bipolar syndrome fluctuations in blood sugar can exacerbate and trigger intense bouts of worse symptoms .\ni used to have reactive hypoglycaemia in my 20\u2019s and when i stabilised my blood sugar during my nutritional medicine training i noticed it had a tremendous stabilising effects on my bipolar syndrome , diminishing the volatility and frequency of my highs and lows . this experience is what lead me to fully appreciate the importance of blood sugar levels on mental health and develop my clinical methods in this area .\nin my practice i\u2019ve never seen imbalances in blood sugar be the sole cause of depression , bipolar syndrome , anxiety or adhd , what i have seen however is practically everyone i treat with mental health problems experience enormous improvements in their condition when they take their blood sugar seriously and balance the supply of fuel to their brain with diet and natural remedies . i would even go so far as to say that imbalances in blood sugar can have such a profound effect on neurotransmitter levels and therefore mental health that they can prevent full recovery and may even prevent treatments from working from the outset .\nheavily padded and badly acted by almost everybody , blood mania really drags , even at only 80 minutes . also , as others have noted , only about five minutes are the sort of horror that is suggested by the title and the poster . however , the poster ' s emphasis on large naked breasts does accurately represent at least the first half of the movie . also , i thought the twist ending was fun , and i found the night gallery - style final shots effective .\nwhile sonic mania builds on nostalgia , sonic forces borrow from the past while pushing modern sonic fans into the franchise ' s future . the game comes off as a direct descendant of generations and colors as it tries to correct the errors of sonic lost world and the sonic boom series .\nfunky , psychedelic sex soap opera isn\u2019t as bad as i\u2019d read ; it\u2019s not so much \u201cblood\u201d as it is \u201cmania\u201d , and there\u2019s plenty of plot twists and diversions to keep you engaged . carpenter isn\u2019t the best actor , but he\u2019s charismatic and has the charm to pull it off , as his character digs his grave ever deeper with each carnal lapse , while de aragon , peters and wilson are three impressive specimens in spite of their apparent amateurish acting ( de aragon does improve as the film progresses , her \u2018mania\u2019 is at times quite chilling ) . leslie simms is sometimes amusing as an ugly duckling nurse and alex rocco gets a few frivolous moments as an estate lawyer . you\u2019d also have to appreciate the minor yet absorbing role played by dalya as peters\u2019 loyal lesbian minder .\nstupid statement dance mix : type\nthere will be blood\nin the you tube search box , it is guaranteed at least half of the results are\ni drink your milkshake !\nvideos .\nsure , abc flirted with some western themes in blood & oil , but deadwood is the gold standard . there is even talk of a deadwood movie so pour yourself some whiskey and catch up now .\nthe feel - good neurotransmitter serotonin is unique in that unlike other neurotransmitters the level of serotonin production in the brain is directly linked to changes in the levels of amino acids and sugar in our blood .\nseriously guys , this is a really cool way to tie the two main sonic titles coming up and i think it was brilliant advertising on sega ' s part , and then these people are like ,\nno , now sonic mania doesn ' t stand on it ' s own .\nin blood sugar which causes a rapid decline in serotonin and dopamine levels , the last thing you need when you\u2019re suffering from a mental health problem and in some people their blood sugar levels don\u2019t just drop back down to normal but they continue to fall , overshoot and go too low causing a condition of low blood sugar called hypoglycaemia . we all look at hypoglycaemia in a lot more detail later , but briefly getting frequent bouts of hypoglycaemia is very bad condition for someone with mental health problems to have because when the brain is depleted of glucose it immediately impedes the brains ability to maintain adequate neurotransmitter activity including :\nwhatever the connection between high blood sugar and mental health problems , whether it\u2019s diminished tryptophan\u2019s entry into the brain , reduced bdnf levels , increased age levels or a sign of underlying chronic inflammation in holistic functional medicine we apply an integrated whole - body treatment approach and try to restore health to the whole body , not just individual systems for functions . treatment would include the combining a diet , lifestyle , exercise and supplement regime that reduces elevated blood sugar , increases insulin sensitivity , increases available tryptophan to make serotonin , increases bdnf production and decreases age formation ; i\u2019ll go into the specifics in chapter xxx treating blood sugar .\ni don\u2019t know , to be honest . i don\u2019t identify as being in \u201cmonster movies . \u201d i\u2019m flattered that people notice me as a horror movie actor . : : laughs : : i attended monster mania a few years ago , and a few people came to my table and said \u201cwait , you were in \u201cchud . \u201d those fans are rabid . i love them ! the worst part of being in a horror movie is the blood . . it\u2019s sticky , and it gets in your hair !\nas he slides down yelling \u201cit burns , \u201d a slight smoke effect can be seen traveling down the slide . frank lands at the bottom , his battered back forming a pool of blood in the water .\n, \u201d their madcap , tex avery - influenced live - action cartoon . beyl points out that while they couldn\u2019t be more different , the similarities between \u201cblood simple\u201d and \u201craising arizona\u201d are there , as they share\ngraphic violence is one of the central features of blood . enemies can be blown to pieces , with streams of blood and chunks of flesh raining down . zombie heads can be shot off and then kicked around like soccer balls , spewing fountains of blood from the neck . if enemies are set on fire , they burst into flames and run around flailing their limbs . innocents ( non - combatants ) appear in several levels and can be killed without compunction . each of these instances comes accompanied with screams of terror and pain , making sound an integral part of the violent atmosphere . the levels are designed in the same spirit , with locations such as torture chambers , funeral homes , scientific laboratories , and hellish temples . each location features walls splattered with blood , dismembered corpses , bodies in metal drums , and other grotesque situations .\nthis technological heritage has placed blood as being one of the\nbig four\nbuild engine games alongside duke nukem 3d , shadow warrior , and redneck rampage , although the latter is sometimes dropped leaving it as simply being the\nbig three\n, with blood always being included . ion maiden , released in 2018 , is intended as a new entry into the collection , building upon the former games ' legacy .\nthere were two commercial level pack compilations released for blood in the fashion of wizardworks software ' s d ! zone for doom . neither of these level packs appear to have ever been sanctioned by monolith productions .\nblood mania is actually a worse film than point of terror ! , but has the same appeal but even a higher preponderance of nudity / sex exploitation . . . with the title being more of a selling technique than delivery . i get the appeal here . . . i do - i suggest though that the market for these lower - end 70 ' s efforts is small - hence the 3 , 000 unit limitation . those keen are aware of what they are in for . to each his own .\nthe immediate dysfunction in brain performance caused by a bout of low blood sugar may trigger a bout of symptoms but it does not cause any lasting damage to the brain , high blood sugar on the other hand diminishes euro protective bdnf levels and increased neuro damaging age levels which can lead to long term degeneration of key parts of the brain associated with mood causing depression and bipolar syndrome and probably also contribute to anxiety states as well .\nmermaid man and barnacle boy iv\n- an interview with sam henderson on spongebuddy mania claimed there was a scene involving the bikini bottomites destroying furniture inside spongebob ' s head . it ' s likely cut either so that children would not be encouraged to do this or that it was a subtle adult innuendo .\n, during bipolar mania episodes you can use it any time to deplete dopamine activity . if one of the things you do when you\u2019re hyper is manically exercise then bcaa\u2019s could potentially be the perfect remedy as not only will they deplete your excess dopamine but they\u2019ll assist muscle growth and therefore tone your body to boot .\nindividual mappers such as martin and jason brentnall , david wikstr\u00f6m , austin adams and vili nystr\u00f6m have also developed notable portfolios . meanwhile , the alone in the dark series of mods has focused on expanding the technical scope of the game , with features such as a custom voxel pack and the weapons mod , among others . curator bme has put out a complete collection of blood maps called bme ' s blood map pack each year from 2013 onward , following from his re - scripted releases of many classic add - ons . more selective sets such as the best of blood . freeminded . de ( 2011 ) and the blood chronicles ( 2004 , 2014 ) volumes have also been compiled . since 2017 , these fan campaigns can now be played outside the original dos executable via bloodgdx , leading to an increased interest shown through let ' s play and video walkthrough series on youtube .\nblood ( sometimes informally called blood : spill some or blood 3d ) is a pc first person shooter computer game released for ms - dos on may 31 , 1997 . it was developed by monolith productions and distributed by gt interactive . the game became well - known for its copious amounts of violence and numerous stylistic and cultural references to literary and cinematic horror works . it was also the first build engine game to feature voxels and simulated room - over - room , which were both also later seen in shadow warrior . the game falls in the first - person shooter category and has an arsenal of curious weapons , numerous enemies , and liberal amounts of gore .\nindeed , every time i started to write down crap dialogue examples , one of the three female leads took her shirt off . this strategy has fallen away in recent years ; for instance , did the fright night remake really need to have a multi - fuck dialogue injection to get the\nr\n? you had imogen poots right there the whole time . but blood mania didn ' t waste its treasures , no sir . i lost track of the number of nude scenes , and yet it managed to keep the excuses fairly reasonable .\nthe version of the build engine used in blood makes use of voxels for smaller object like weapons , ammo , power - ups , and decorations , such as the tombstones in the first level of\ne1m1 : cradle to grave\n. like many other games of the period blood also shipped with a number of build engine tools on the retail disk including mapedit and artedit , which helped encourage the creation of fan made modifications and custom level sets .\nwhen you understand that surges in blood sugar / insulin directly increase the production of serotonin in the brain only to have it subsequently crash and that hypoglycaemia starves the brain of the energy it needs to function properly , and that consuming sugary foods can cause fluctuations in dopamine levels you can appreciate why stabilising blood sugar is one of the fundamentals you should get right to improve brain health to successfully treat mental health problems including depression , bipolar syndrome and anxiety .\nas for other extras , blood mania features a new audio commentary with o ' neill and simms , this time joined by peters and minus a moderator ; several new stories trickle through here including lots of recollections about the main house location , the joys of dancing in las vegas , and much more . there ' s a fair amount of dead air here though so be prepared to have your remote handy . o ' neill also appears for a quick video intro and an 8 - minute video interview about how he went from theater into filmmaking and\nschooled myself\nwhile shooting this film and learned how to shoot and cut scenes together . also included are a 14 - minute video interview with simms about her entire acting career ( including her teaching and her friendship with student carpenter including a sweet story about having to pay her taxes ) , very psychedelic theatrical trailers and tv spots for both films , and promotional galleries for both films ( 3 mins . and 1 min . respectively ) including a tons of saucy nude shots from blood mania , in case the movie itself didn ' t deliver enough already .\nblood & oil is a lot like the 1980s classic . from the rural setting , the family drama to the villainous tycoons , the homage was clear . check out the original and find out for yourself if this stacks up .\nblood was noted for its challenging , but realistic level design , as well as the abundance of enemies and weapons . modern 3 - d , fully - textured models require more computing power load , so the sprite - based game play of blood allowed large numbers of enemies and objects on the screen at once . also , due to the limited artificial intelligence on display , hostiles had to appear in large numbers to pose a significant challenge to the player .\ndeliberately driving your blood sugar up as a way to elevate and restore serotonin levels is not only an ineffective treatment for depression or anxiety but it\u2019s the last thing you want to do for your physical health ; in the body it could lead to reactive hypoglycaemia , insulin resistance and type ii diabetes , in fact new research shows that elevated blood sugar levels damage the brain and actually increases the risk of developing depression in the long run [ i ] [ ii ] . in my opinion the manufacturers of high gi foods like soda drinks that rapidly dump glucose into the blood should be obliged to obliged to put a health warning on their products the same way that tobacco manufacturers have to .\nthe first part in this series \u2014 entitled \u201cmurder & mania\u201d \u2014 dives into the coen brothers\u2019 beginnings , in which two siblings from minnesota made their first two , tonally different features in the american southwest . we start with their debut \u201c blood simple , \u201d and its influences ranging from billy wilder ( the opening narration of \u201c love in the afternoon \u201d ) to sam raimi ( the sped - up , low - angle tracking shot ) . it also dives into how the film greatly influenced the coen\u2019s oscar - winning thriller \u201c no country for old men . \u201d\ni ' m . . . actually pretty surprised at the reaction to everyone in this thread . when i first saw the leaks for the ending of sanic mania i thought people wouldn ' t react to it well due to the current reception of sanic forces . well , at least people like one of sega ' s crazy moves !\nin addition to protecting the brain bdnf is also needed by the body to maintain healthy insulin and blood sugar control so low levels of bdnf induced by chronic stress / depression increases the risk of developing insulin resistance and type ii diabetes .\nour son needed to come in and test out the mattress we had selected . it turns out it was the right brand but the wrong size . he needed a bigger bed because he ' s so tall . daniel and eric both helped us that day . our son is very very happy with his new bed . thank you mattress mania .\nafter the source code to many other games had been released by their respective owners , an intense fan campaign called for the release of the source code to blood . this failed , but due to the cult - like fan support and lack of support from the right holders of blood , it has been the subject of many fan games , media , and recreations . the fan project transfusion attempted to recreate blood on the darkplaces engine , while bloodcm does similar atop of eduke32 and is at present the most complete ; the former is multiplayer only , the latter single - player only . other games like zblood and the flesh game expand on the game ' s storyline and scope , while hypertension is attempting to create something of a spiritual successor . a large collection of blood fan art and fan fiction has also been produced by the community . several attempts have been made at creating a source port via reverse engineering , the furthest developed and publicly released being bloodgdx .\nmore like crud mania if you ask me , yuck yuck . this movie totally blows and delivers nothing even close to the alleged \u201cshocking climax\u201d that is advertised on this here poster . in fact , the little netflix envelope claimed the movie was going to be \u201cgory\u201d but i think the guy writing it meant to say \u201cboring\u201d because , blah blah , etc\u2026\nthe whole thing impresses one as a sexual aberration ,\none writer raged .\nthe blood mania appears as a terrible deformation of sexual perversity . this applies all the more because not only elektra , but all the women are sexually tainted .\none cartoonist went so far as to accuse strauss and his librettist , the austrian writer hugo von hofmannsthal , of the violation of classicism . hofmannsthal - who had reworked his own\nfree adaptation\nof sophocles ' electra to form the libretto - was depicted holding the greek dramatist down while strauss battered him to death with a cymbal stick .\nthe neurotransmitters and function properly . based on the observations i\u2019ve made of my patients and the workings of my own brain it appears that a rapid rise then fall in blood sugar levels can trigger bout of depression , anxiety , ocd and adhd ."]}

\u201d \u201cno , no , no , april 2014 . \u201d they said , \u201cgood luck , my friend . \u201d and they ended up being right .\nearly in the film watney takes an inventory of his food supply . he counts off packages of sweet and sour chicken and adds them to the list in his notebook . however sweet and sour chicken already appears in the list as the second item down from the ' dinner ' heading .\nyou\u2019re totally right on that one , but that\u2019s the true power of george miller . he knows that he\u2019s asking so much from the people that work on his film , but he has this amazing way to re - energize the project . and that\u2019s a magic that you have or you don\u2019t have\u2014and he has it . so he gets together with everybody and he has this really inspirational talk , and then once we leave that meeting , like 15 months into the film , you\u2019re ready to revamp and revise all these things about the movie in order to make it better .\noh , this film is a classic . the effects might seem crude by today\u2019s standards but this was revolutionary when it came out , and in that sense it\u2019s still impressive especially when you consider what other filmmakers were doing at the time ( the lumi\u00e8re bros . , for example ) .\nthe next big release of the year is akshay kumar \u2019s housefull 3 , which releases in theatres during the lucrative \u2018post - ipl\u2019 weekend \u2013 which has previously seen super - successful films like new year , ready , yeh jawaani hai deewani , rowdy rathore , holiday and tanu weds manu returns . the makers of the film are going to launch a massive promotional campaign for the film , starting with the trailer launch that will be held across 100 towns and cities in the country . read more the post housefull 3 logo out , massive launch planned for the trailer appeared first on .\nin the movie , the rocket used for launching supply probe to mars for astronaut mark watney is an atlas v ( 500 series ) , which exploded shortly after what appeared to be a successful launch . in reality , atlas v rockets have never failed as of the making of the movie . one launch may be considered a partial failure because the payload was not delivered to the correct orbit , but the customer declared it a success anyway .\ndon ' t know why i keep saying this but , hopefully , this will be a short review . damn good film here , probably not as deep as it was intended to be but a very good film about a child ' s optimism in the face of being told that , because of his being a twin , he brings bad luck upon his family . unfortunately for ahlo , the boy , it seems like he does bring his family bad luck everywhere they go . that ' s more him being an inquisitive and resourceful child and , of course , not that he actually brings them bad luck . during one particularly crazy moment , another one of ahlo ' s mischievous deeds , forces the family , and his two new friends , to move away . during their trek , they pass through war - torn laotian villages as uncle purple recounts his days as a soldier and the effects the war has had on laotian citizens as a result . the film expertly melds various subjects like this without really sacrificing the film ' s heart . in fact , it ' s very much part of it . i like that the film can very much be enjoyed by art - house audiences , looking for a good story , and a mainstream audience through its crowd - pleasing ending . this isn ' t always a good balance to find , but this film definitely makes it work . the acting is definitely very good , particularly from the kids . . . it feels completely natural and organic . thep phongam , as uncle purple , is the highlight of the film . an entertaining and memorable character , but his back - story is definitely the most interesting of all the characters . this is a guy that ' s trying , through his obsession with james brown , to hold on to his youth and he sees a bit of himself in ahlo , as he hasn ' t been corrupted by the world like he was when he was ahlo ' s age . it ' s not exactly subtle storytelling , but i think it works . the film tells a very good story . it ' s a story that ' s been told many times before , but it doesn ' t make it any less effective . it ' s not the definition of a must - see , but i would certainly give it an enthusiastic recommendation .\nnova scotia independent production fund c / o nova scotia business incorporated linda wood sr . account manager , film & television 1800 argyle street , suite 701 p . o box 2374 halifax , nova scotia b3j 3e4 tel : ( 902 ) 424 - 7181 email : filmapplication @ urltoken website : urltoken\nlos angeles . . . gorgeous girls , golden sunshine , and money !\nand so this modern day morality tale set in the city of angels begins . good performances carry the film through its sometimes uneven pace , but the fun really kicks in when the malibu villa comes into play ."]}

( rating bulletin 2138 , 9 / 15 / 2010 )\nit ' s a bit of a madhouse in terms of dvd and blu - ray releases this week : urltoken has more than 400 listed . that said , a lot of them are catalogue titles that would barely warrant a mention during a slow week . the most intriguing first run release is\n, but while i think it ' s worth picking up , it ' s appeal is limited enough that it is not worthy of the pick of the week honors . fortunately , one of the catalogue titles is clearly pick of the week material . in fact ,\nis one of the most anticipated releases in the history of blu - ray .\nwas shot in 2008 and was shown at a few film festivals before its limited release in 2010 . it opened in way more theaters than most limited releases do , but in the end it might have been too many , as it came perilously close to missing the mendoza line . now that it ' s out on dvd and blu - ray , will it find a more receptive audience ?\nit ' s actually a rather busy week for dvd / blu - ray releases , at least for the summertime , with four first run releases coming out . granted , those four films averaged just 21 % positive reviews , so it is certainly a matter of quantity over quality . unfortunately , the quantity of first run releases appears to have scared away quality alternatives and there are not a lot of top notch releases . there are a few that are with picking up , some of which are for limited audiences , but as far as pick of the week contenders go , there are none . however ,\n, which makes it the obviously choice for the target film in this week ' s box office prediction contest . in order to win , one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for\n. entries must be received by 10 a . m . , pacific time on friday to be eligible , so don ' t delay !\nagain , there was only one film that reached the $ 10 , 000 mark on the per theater chart .\nopened with an average of $ 10 , 318 in two theaters . however ,\n, topped the per theater chart over the weekend with an impressive average of $ 36 , 720 in six theaters . it expands wide on friday , so this fast start was important . the overall box office leader ,\n, was well back in second place with an average of $ 16 , 343 , but that ' s amazing for this type of movie and this time of year .\nopened with an average of $ 10 , 003 in two theaters , which is literally one ticket away from missing the $ 10 , 000 mark .\nis set to record the biggest october weekend ever , according to paramount ' s sunday estimate . with $ 50 million over the weekend , the movie will also set a new mark for a factually - based movie , beating the record held by its predecessor in the series ,\n. although the debate on 3d ' s long - term future continues , this is a movie that seems to be perfectly suited to the medium . expect to see talk of jackass 4d very soon . we don ' t even dare to speculate what the 4th d will entail .\nit looks like we are getting closer and closer to awards season with two oscar potential films coming out this week . at least there are two films that look like they were made to win oscars . i ' m not sure either has what it takes . other limited releases include two films opening in several hundred theaters , both of which could struggle . there should be at least a couple to find some measure of mainstream success , but i ' m unwilling to bet which films those will be . more . . .\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 .\n\u00a9 1997 -

crate foam layer for the bottom of the case , while the pick & pluck and other egg - crate foam layers can be used either in the lid or for creating 2 layers of foam separation inside of the case . the pick & pluck foam layer can be left solid to create a foam barrier or can be plucked to fit around your projector and accessories .\nobviously not intended specifically to fit my projector like it was advertised to be . had to pluck pieces of from to fit projector and accessories as it is one solid piece of foam that allow customization . this is no big the reason for the 3 stars is that the foam layer on the bottom is too thick and will not allow case to close with projector inside without excessive force which cant be good for the projector . i had to use a pocket knife and carefully slice the bottom layer in half so it was half as thick then the case closed with a little force but that force is minimal and will only hold the projector better . quality isn ' t fantastic but is quite acceptable . it will protect the projector and that ' s all i ask . update : moved to 5 stars due to the fact that the case accually is a higher quality than earlier thought . . . i banged it around a bit and it handled quite well . also see comments and that is another reason for bumping up a star .\ndoes not fit the viewsonic pdj5155 projector as shown . the fit is too tight , making it extremely difficult to close . not sure if such a tight fit does any damage to the projector , but did not want to take any chances . sent an email to the manufacturer and did not receive a response . problem is that i could not find another case to fit . i decided to remove the egg crate foam on the top and insert a couple layers of bubble wrap . now it fits perfectly . another reviewer referenced two sets of installation instructions . my case did not include a second set of installation instructions . while the case will work now , not happy with the advertising and response from the manufacturer .\nthis case is exactly what i needed . i read through some of the other comments before i purchased it and was weary about whether or not the projector listed would fit and i haven ' t had a problem with it . it ' s definitely a very tight fit when you ' re closing the case , but it just assures me that the projector will not be moving around at all when i ' m carrying it around . would definitely recommend this to anyone using the projector listed .\narrived sooner than promised , and is a perfect fit for my viewsonic pjd5155 projector . a few minutes of plucking the\npluck and chuck\npre cut foam and the projector , cords and remote all found a protected and specified place to call home . the egg crate foam in the top gently but firmly presses down on top of the projector whenever you close the case , providing security and protection all around . i would definitely buy this again shouldt the need arise .\nworks great for all my extra vape stuff . i have it setup to hold all my box mods , atomizers , coils , charger and other accessories . highly recommended at a great price . the box also has a cutout to add a lock if you want .\ni am using this case with an epson vs345 projector . there is enough room for the projector and accessories including cables . with this case , it is just grab - and - go . no need to worry about leaving critical components back at the house when making presentations . study construction leads me to believe it will last the life of the projector .\ni highly recommend getting this case for the matching viewsonic projector . we have extra cords that fit in along with the projector . i love the hard case for when my teens want to take it places . super smart buy for our usage .\nnice case . . . should hold up to shock quite well and fits everything inside nicely .\nlove this case ! fully customizable with the foam cut into little cubes . great protection of my projector and big enough to also hold the associated cables .\nit is very plastic and looks much less attractive than in the picture . we decided to return and just buy good leather case for slightly more .\nthe left locking clamp , continues to separate from the pin that it swivels on . only a matter of time before it won ' t reattach .\nprime members enjoy free two -

office . joy had played the double role of a chinese spy and an indian officer in the film . as another crop of actors \u2014 dharmendra , jeetendra and rajesh khanna \u2014 gradually made their presence felt , his career went into a tailspin and lurched from one b - grade flop to another .\njoy , who is also related to kajol and rani mukerji , was most comfortable in breezy romantic comedies though he worked in family dramas ( bahu beti ) and spy thrillers ( humsaya , inspector ) too . his career reached its high point when shagird ( 1967 ) , with saira bano in the female lead , roared at the cash counters . songs such as dil vil pyaar vyar ( binaca geet mala\u2019s no 1 song of the year ) and woh hain zara khafa khafa sold records by thousands .\nthe spy had been around for over a decade since samadhi ( 1950 ) where a british agent spied on indian national army operatives but it was the arrival of james bond along with the two wars the country fought in the 1960s that made them stand out . the implausibility of an indian and chinese resembling each other notwithstanding , humsaya ' s plot pulled all the stops to make it a rewarding watch . the spy thrillers and the horror films of the 1960s might be thematically different from the regular films of that period but they , too , were blessed with good music that helped them become popular .\ncinematic spies run the risk of being flashy like bond 303 ( 1985 ) , gunmaster g - 9 in suraksha ( 1979 ) and wardat ( 1981 ) but there have been films like sharmilee ( 1971 ) and sharara ( 1981 ) where the spy was the girl the hero loved . ironically the women have all had interesting roles to play in earlier spy thrillers like humsaya , aankhen and yakeen as compared to agent vinod . agent vinod is an example of how the people who make films imagine their audience . they think that we think a spy needs to be good looking , fast talking , one - liner dropping dude who seems to spend more time trimming his beard than anything else . spy for hindi cinema is a character who can only be imagined in well - cut suits like agent vinod or like sunny ajay chakraborty / arun sharma / major batra / wahid deol in hero -

but shyam overpowers him , and instead tao mistakenly kills lin . shyam dons lin ' s guise and returns home to delhi - where he hopes to clear his name . this is where he will face many challenges when leena will even refuse to speak with him , the community in general will shun him , and the arrival of sin , along with a peace delegation , will complicate matters even more - as she . . .\nonly in bollywood you can getaway with identical people from different countries . basically the story involves around joy mukerjee ' s two characters . one is chinese and the other indian playing the espionage game . the story seems to be ok but the acting and characters are so wooden and you sit through three hours hoping that it will improve . alas it does not . the chinese character even has plastic surgery to look like the indian , but it still was not convincing . mala sinha who plays the wife the chinese character is good and compassionate as for sharmila tagore who was the love interest of the indian character is less convincing . it ' s fine bollywood churning out more movies than the world but 80 % of them are pointless .\n2 of 5 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\ncheck out the indian movies with the highest ratings from imdb users , as well as the movies that are trending in real time .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nwhere would bollywood be if not for the all - too - frequent occurrence of completely unrelated people looking exactly alike ? it ' s certainly a situation we can all relate to . after all , who hasn ' t come face to face with their doppelganger on at least one occasion , and more likely two or three ? wait . what ' s that you say ? it ' s not frequent at all ? in fact , it pretty much never happens ? ha ! next you ' ll be telling me that women don ' t like being stalked , when in reality they take to it like catnip ( if they were cats , i mean ) .\nbegins with one of those disclaimers that assures us that any resemblance to any\nliving personalities or existing parties\nis purely coincidental . from watching\nand countless other bollywood patriotic films , i ' ve learned that what that really means is that the shit is on , and that , as soon as that disclaimer fades from the screen , we ' re going to be seeing some real life person , group , or country - - most likely pakistan or china - - having their name thoroughly dragged through the mud .\nand , sure enough , no sooner have those words receded from view than we are whisked via relief map to peking , china , where madan puri , sporting offensive - if - it - weren ' t - so - ridiculous yellow face , is playing some kind of devilish top level chinese government functionary . in furtherance of some dastardly plan to undermine india , madan - - who ' s character , i believe , is named professor tao kai sheng - - puts out a call to lin , a young chinese military officer who , in response , is forced to cut short his leave . bidding a reluctant farewell to his young sweetheart ( played by mala sinha , doing her best impression of a gift shop china doll ) , lin reports for duty , only to learn that he is to undergo plastic surgery in order to impersonate a young indian air force officer by the name of shyam . this surgery , however , will ultimately be less traumatic than one might expect , because shyam and lin are both played by joy mukherjee ( who also produced and directed ) , and so will only involve lin having the putty removed from his eyelids .\nfor reasons that are mostly too complex and unsubtitled to go into , shyam , having somehow been duped into placing his fate within prof sheng ' s hands , is holed up in an isolated cabin somewhere in the himalayas . it seems that back in india , sheng , working behind the scenes , was able to frame shyam for a murder he didn ' t commit , and as a result the lad was not only court martialed and stripped of his rank , but also alienated from the affections of his sweetheart , rena ( sharmila tagore ) . in this lowly and dispirited state , shyam , now freed from prison , is putty in the professor ' s hands .\nthat is , until sheng and lin show up at shyam ' s cabin and shyam inadvertently overhears the details of their dastardly chinese plan , after which he manages to , without sheng ' s knowledge , bring about lin ' s death and switch places with him . thus shyam is now impersonating lin impersonating him . under this guise , he returns to india and tells all to his military superiors , after which his rank is reinstated , his conviction overturned , and his warm place in rena ' s heart restored . nonetheless , his superiors order him to continue his ruse in order to uncover the full extent of the dastardly chinese ' s dastardly chinese plot .\nall goes more or less swimmingly until professor sheng shows up in india as part of a\ndancing delegation\nwith lin ' s sweetie , the delegation ' s star dancer , in tow . of course , like sheng , she also thinks that shyam is lin impersonating shyam , and so comes to him on the sly expecting all of the benefits . thus does shyam ' s charade , not to mention his love life , become even more complicated , as rena , like lin ' s sweetheart , is unaware of the double role he ' s playing , which means that he must keep up appearances with the both of them while leaving neither of them the wiser about his relationship with the other . spicy !\nof course , while professor sheng ' s dancing delegation is disguised under a cloak of peaceful diplomacy , it is in reality a festering web of virulent chinese lies , intended only to facilitate his and his minions ' trespass into india ' s brave but vulnerable heart . in hope of getting to and exposing the operation ' s real mr . big - - an especially circumspect soul who appears to his underlings both in a hood and silhouetted behind a screen - - shyam must hit the road with the delegation , acting as their personal pilot , and race against the clock to complete his mission before the spies are able to do any irreparable chinese damage .\nleaves no orientalist clich\u00e9 unturned . boiled down to its essence , it would consist of nothing more than the serial sounding of gongs , the deferential shuffling of petal - like chinese maidens , and sleeves creeping up to surreptitiously reveal previously unseen dragon tattoos as madan puri arches one brow and narrows his eyes in an attempt to convey inscrutability . thankfully , all of this nonsense imbues the film with a level of entertainment that is far out of proportion to what the meat and potatoes of its story might otherwise provide , as , by all appearances , its a fairly rote hitchcock - aspirant espionage thriller .\nof course ,\nby all appearances\nis an important qualifier in this case , because , armed only with a typically breathless and garbled song booklet plot synopsis and exactly zero understanding of hindi , appearances were all i had to go by . thus any judgment of\ni might make would be based on an incomplete understanding . still , the degree to which it seems to conform to countless other nationalistic bollywood potboilers that i ' ve seen gives me the sneaking suspicion that , were i to have a complete understanding of its dialogue , it probably wouldn ' t have added that many additional layers of meaning to the movie as i experienced it .\nthat would prompt me to give it a re - viewing were it to come out in an english subtitled version ( especially if it were released on a dvd free of the sound distortion that plagues the priya vcd release , which sadly renders o . p . nayyar ' s song score impossible to assess ) . primary among those is the performance of mala sinha , who , over the course of the film , goes from china doll to full - blown tragic figure . it ' s a performance that threatens to crumple under its own bigness , but you sure can ' t accuse the woman of holding back . the fact that her agonized and quite lengthy third act monologue nearly brought me to tears myself , despite the fact that i didn ' t have the least clue what she was saying , is a real testament to the emotional power she brings to the role .\nwraps up with a sequence that would make sunny deol proud , in which joy mukherjee flies a helicopter over the himalayas and , armed only with a machinegun and some hand grenades , single - handedly defeats an invading chinese horde . such a display of patriotism should serve as a humbling lesson to those us who gave ourselves a big pat on the back for merely dragging our sorry asses off the couch to go and vote back in november . this is true love of country , people ! and joy didn ' t even need paris hilton to tell him it was cool .\nso , if the costumes are fictitious , people are running around naked ? how un - hindi of them ! i ' ve somehow been able to avoid films with evil chinese stereotypes from india up to now and am only informed about the evils of that neighboring country . i should probably fill that hole in my knowledge of evilness . it ' s a little bit disappointing for me as a german that there aren ' t many nazi evildoers to find in bollywood . always a good target .\ni love bollywood ' s anti - china films . this sounds a bit like aankhen ( or maybe it ' s just the mala sinha thing ) . . . but i will wait for a better quality ( subtitled ) version : - )\nps mard also had that disclaimer , which i found completely hilarious ( and unnecessary ) .\nit ' s a little bit disappointing for me as a german that there aren ' t many nazi evildoers to find in bollywood . allow me to introduce you to a little film called hitler , starring mithun chakraborty . and todd , that last screencap - - for some reason , all i can imagine it saying is ,\ni don ' t need the gun , john ! i don ' t need the gun !\nyeah , i ' ll say it . racist bollywood movies are awesome . damn those chinese , with their intelligence , sophistication and discipline ! really , could there be any more loathsome a combination of qualities ? ( not that india was alone in this , of course - - see , for instance , battle beneath the earth . ) and , memsaab , regarding mard , those costumes were indeed about as fictitious as they come . i haven ' t yet seen hitler . i ' m counting on keith to fill me in . i ' m hoping that it ' s basically the same story as valkyrie but with mithun and lots of crappy miniatures . house , it is indeed shocking that they never got around to putting bob christo in an ss uniform . such a missed opportunity .\nfamous monsters # 270 : special lucha issue with articles by me , dan madigan , keith j . rainville & august ragone\ni do not sell , trade or otherwise provide copies of the films that i review on this site , so please don ' t ask . -

( the film includes surely one of the best scenes of a bathroom being flooded in movie history . )\nanother striking aspect of the film is the dedication that appears at the end . the inscription is in memory of director david mackenzie \u2019s parents , who died within four months of each other in perthshire , scotland during the making of the film .\nmary : just as when a person dies and water leaves it , so does the tea ceremony end when the water is gone . this is emphasized in the novel and is a simple but powerful way of looking at water . this question is two - fold . one is out of curiosity : have you had experience in hosting or attending a tea ceremony , and do its attendees respect the power of the water ? second , is the tea ceremony a metaphor for life , for everything that holds water ? when the water ends , our life\u2019s ceremony is also over .\nno title yet , another haunting memory is the one ghost telling the others that he just needs some help digging under the tail of the plane because he just knows that his dog tags are there . i thought the title was or included\n17 days\nsome memory of my dad and i discussing how they didn ' t have water for that period of time . probably wrong on that memory .\nyou can find memory of water at amazon . the book was first published in 2012 in finland ; emmi was compared to ursula k . le guin and margaret atwood . the novel was published in english in june 2014 .\nmary : the book\u2019s title , memory of water , is a double entendre . i think as a reader , i first realized that in this future dystopian world , remembering the importance of water is key to respecting it as a life - force that we must protect and conserve today . then , at one point , your beautiful prose illustrates that water has its own memory . throughout the book , you hauntingly show that water is in all we are , all we ingest , all that is life , in everything else that is alive , too , even in the stones . every place water is , or has been , it \u201cremembers\u201d its history . i loved this idea , and wonder if you could talk a little bit about it .\ni want to thank emmi for this wonderful interview . my first pleasure was reading her book , memory of water . the novel takes place in the future after climate change has ravished economies and ecologies , and made fresh water scarce . when reading , you just want to drink a glass of cold water and revel in it as if it is the last great thing you will ingest . one could never take water for granted again after reading this novel . the main character , noria , is a young woman learning the traditional , sacred tea master art from her father . yet , water is rationed and scarce in her future world . her family has a secret spring of water , and , as tea masters , she and her father act as the water\u2019s guards , even though what they are doing is a crime according to their future world\u2019s government , a crime strongly disciplined by the military .\nas the title indicates , memory is at the center of this play . the water metaphor \u2014 which strikes me as more vaguely poetic than illuminating \u2014 arises from teresa ' s practice : homeopathic cures involve remedies diluted in water to the point that no molecule of the original remains , on the theory that the water still retains a kind of ghost or aftershadow of these substances . in the same way , the spirit of vi \u2014 who turns out to be a very lively ghost indeed \u2014 lingers in the psyches of her daughters . there are many other references to memory in the script : mary ' s thoughts about her amnesiac patient , the confusion vi suffered as alzheimer ' s took control of her brain , the fact that the sisters can ' t agree on the straightforward facts of a single childhood memory \u2014 at least not until the very end of the play . it ' s not that they interpret shared experiences differently ; they can ' t even remember which one of them actually had the experience .\ntoward the end of matias bize\u2019s \u201cthe memory of water , \u201d an attractive couple unable to cope with the death of their child take to the woods to talk things over . next to the sylvan chaos of \u201cantichrist , \u201d these two telenovela - pretty parents have it easy : there are no smashed genitals or talking foxes here to get in [ \u2026 ]\nafter wowing venice film festival press this morning with his cold war - set fairy tale , guillermo del toro unveiled the shape of water in its official competition screening tonight . the reception inside the sala grande was rapturous and one of the most emotional festival debuts in recent memory . a lengthy standing ovation ended only when del toro and his cast finally left the theater .\none of the songs on the hell or high water soundtrack is gillian welch \u2019s \u201c i\u2019m not afraid to die . \u201d that was most likely true of mackenzie\u2019s dad . rip .\nthree sisters converge for their mother\u2019s funeral in \u201cthe memory of water , \u201d a first play from shelagh stephenson that evokes numerous memories , not all of them helpful . this is the sort of play you feel you\u2019ve seen before , and the truth is that you have \u2014 on tv . though the tonier comparisons might be to [ \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 .\nshape of water is a romantic fantasy that stars sally hawkins , doug jones , michael stuhlbarg , michael shannon , octavia spencer and richard jenkins .\nemmi : one of the central themes of memory of water is continuity : of tradition , of culture , of history , of knowledge , of the relationship between humans and their environment . the story explores the impact of disrupting these continuities . the society portrayed has lost part of its history and therefore does not know how to build a better future . meanwhile , the continuity of the tea masters\u2019 tradition has become a double - edged sword , which both maintains vital resources and monopolizes them . i chose water as the central element of the story because of its continuous nature : it is always changing , but never disappears . it can revive or destroy , and it is something much older and more powerful than humans . i felt it was a potent metaphor for many things , and in the course of the writing process i began to think of it as a living being , one of the main characters of the book .\nplot : a big screen re - enactment of the making of tommy wiseau ' s cult film the room deemed ' the worst movie of all time . '\nthe play one of britain ' s hottest new playwrights has come forth with the memory of water , a play about three sisters who return home after the death of their mother . throughout the play , the sisters struggle over who remembers which events more clearly , only to find that individual memories and experiences can become fuzzy , and that family stories , many times re - told , become free game to be re - shaped and detailed until the story develops so far that it surpasses the memory . playwright shelagh stephenson states that when she started writing the the memory of water , it was set at a family birthday party . during the development process , stephenson lost her mother , and the play took a dramatic turn , shifting from one family event to another . yet the age old tradition of recollecting family stories , bound by love , laughter , anger , and tears is still the center of this bittersweet , life affirming comedy .\nstephenson used to be an actress , and she is accordingly generous , giving each performer a big scene or two . but few could counter the staginess of mother - as - apparition , a projection of the haunted mary , who gets the majority of the play\u2019s musings on memory . ( stephenson\u2019s metaphoric equation , inspired by a british tv documentary about the properties of water , makes vi the \u201cwater\u201d whose presence cannot be altered or diluted , no matter how much her children try to filter out her memory . ) gwynne , a first - rate actress , must also work through several second - act revelations that overload the play ; her talk of \u201ca half - imagined childhood\u201d poignantly evokes the resonant drama that elsewhere remains half - written .\ntwilight zone series 2 . episode 6a . king nine will not return . drove me mad for nearly 30yrs trying to find this . i had the memory of it but not the title . i thought it was a film too .\nwe\u2019re so sucked in by the storytelling that we don\u2019t even realise how outlandish the concept behind the shape of water really is . it goes without saying that audiences will struggle to keep a dry eye when it gets to the film\u2019s heart - tugging final reel .\nin a play like his own superb \u201cdead funny , \u201d director terry johnson made comedy and cruelty flip sides of the same bitter coin , and \u201cmemory of water\u201d clearly wants to strike a comparable delicate balance . but for every stiff encounter johnson stages another \u2014 the coffin - carrying , for one \u2014 that is disconcertingly broad . was the intention to jettison the cliches of the memory play , atmosphere and wistfulness included ? the result is a play top - heavy with metaphor and spare on feeling ; in the juggling act between the serious and the comic , it\u2019s the laugh track that has won .\nthree sisters converge for their mother\u2019s funeral in \u201cthe memory of water , \u201d a first play from shelagh stephenson that evokes numerous memories , not all of them helpful . this is the sort of play you feel you\u2019ve seen before , and the truth is that you have \u2014 on tv . though the tonier comparisons might be to catherine hayes ( \u201cskirmishes\u201d ) , edward albee or even chekhov , the abiding feel is of a wearyingly bitchy sitcom .\nthanks for all the information that has appeared here . i have also been trying to retrieve a copy of the film , and if memory serves , the title was\nsoul survivor\n, not\nsole survivor\n. this would also make more sense in light of the survival of the souls but not the actual flesh and blood crew members .\nat times , the shape of water teeters on the brink of extreme kitsch . it\u2019s the kind of fantastical story that you\u2019d expect to be told in graphic novel or animated form , not in a live action film . del toro , though , is such a flamboyant and resourceful director that he makes the movie work . watery metaphors abound .\nsoul survivor is not the film . i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70 ' s and was disappointed that it wasn ' t the film i remembered . the film as i remember was in black and white , my parents only had colour tv\u0092s , and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead . no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .\nallen myers , the film you are looking for about the airliner crash in the everglades is\nghost of flight 401\n.\nevery week , i look at the tv film listings in the hope of finding this film , trying to remember its name , every week the same nagging disappointment that i can never find it .\ni have a video of this film . it is indeed sole survivor starring shatner and basehart .\nhistory the memory of water first opened at the hampstead theatre in north london in july of 1996 , and went on to a successful run in london ' s west end from 1998 - 1999 . in 2000 , it won the laurence olivier award for best new comedy . the london cast was as follows : mary - samantha bond ; vi - julie legrand ; teresa - alison steadman ; catherine - julia sawalha ; mike - patrick dury ; frank - mark lambert . it opened in new york at the manhattan theatre club in 1998 . the cast was as follows : mary - j . smith cameron ; vi - robin moseley ; teresa - suzanne bertish ; catherine - seana kofoed ; mike - david hunt ; frank - peter mcrobbie . lewis gilbert , best known for his direction of alfie , as well as three james bond films , is slated to direct the upcoming film version of the memory of water .\nthree sisters converge for their mother ' s funeral in\nthe memory of water ,\na first play from shelagh stephenson that evokes numerous memories , not all of them helpful . this is the sort of play you feel you ' ve seen before , and the truth is that you have - - on tv . though the tonier comparisons might be to catherine hayes (\nskirmishes\n) , edward albee or even chekhov , the abiding feel is of a wearyingly bitchy sitcom .\nthe playwright like the three sisters in the memory of water , ms . stephenson hails from the north country . she was born in tyneside , england and studied drama at manchester university , where she spent time studying acting before focusing on writing full - time . ms . stephenson has written five original plays for bbc radio , including darling peidi , the anatomical venus , and five kinds of silence , which won the writer ' s guild award for best original drama . one of ms . stephenson ' s other plays , an experiment with an air pump , which played last year at the dallas theater center , was a joint winner of the 1997 peggy ramsay award . ms . stephenson went on to have her radio play , five kinds of silence , produced on the stage to rave reviews in london during the summer of 2000 . her newest play , ancient lights , opened november 29 , 2000 at the hampstead theatre , which also premiered the memory of water in 1996 .\nemmi : i have attended a japanese tea ceremony , and my impression was that every detail is given a lot of thought and attention , water included . the idea that the purity of water is particularly important for tea - making is something i first encountered when reading about the history of tea in china . so it is not my own idea , but i adopted it for the book and amplified it , because it seemed appropriate for a water - deprived future . and yes , the tea ceremony does become a metaphor for life , and possibly also for different belief systems : if the form is kept immaculate but the essence lost and carved hollow , any belief system or ritual intended as meaningful will run as empty as a vessel without water . this is reflected in noria\u2019s conflict with the corrupt tea master who judges her graduation ceremony .\nemmi : i could definitely see memory of water as a film . in fact , as a teenager my dream was to be a filmmaker , and i think my interest in cinema has crucially influenced my writing . if i get stuck , i often imagine the scenes as a film i\u2019m watching . my theatre background has taught me a lot about story structures , dramatic tension and character motivation , but the cinematic approach owes everything to my long - abandoned filmmaking dreams ! i would love to see what shape the story would take in the hands of a skilled screenwriter and director .\nok all , definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years . the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie . the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film . the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor . the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71 , and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead , thus changing the entire aspect of the film . love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about ' 82 , hope this helps paul\nthe film the original question is trying to find is , indeed ,\nsole survivor\n, a 1971 tv movie that i have on tape and just watched again tonight ; it ' s the only film of its kind . it ' s one of the best of the tv movies , and one of the earliest . please contact me if you ' re looking for a copy of it .\nyou can\u2019t help but gargle in admiration at the extraordinary visual flamboyance of the shape of water . writer - director guillermo del toro may have taken his inspiration from creature from the black lagoon but this is no low budget sci - fi pastiche . it\u2019s a film with the grace and formal ambition of one of those vincente minnelli musicals in which the camera never stops moving . this is a monster movie but it plays like a beauty and the beast - style romance .\nsole survivor\ni ' ve been looking for it as well . based on the recovery of lady be good as mentioned above . the two tv movies are so similar they tend to blend in my memory as well .\nthe name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .\nthe biggest surprise of this film awards season is arguably hell or high water , a modern - day western shot in new mexico by a scottish filmmaker . at tonight\u2019s critics\u2019 choice awards , the movie is nominated for best picture , director , screenplay , acting ensemble and supporting actor ( jeff bridges , ben foster ) .\nif anyone says its the film ' sole survivor ' again i ' ll either shoot myself or kill the wife ! its not the film ' sole survivor ' ! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white . the search goes on : = (\ni remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years . i don ' t believe it to be sole survivor , the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie . the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert , all the crew appeared to have survived the crash , trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue , when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage , and then one by one disappear ; a bit like the film really . i would to see it again though .\ntoward the end of matias bize \u2019s \u201c the memory of water , \u201d an attractive couple unable to cope with the death of their child take to the woods to talk things over . next to the sylvan chaos of \u201cantichrist , \u201d these two telenovela - pretty parents have it easy : there are no smashed genitals or talking foxes here to get in the way of a reconciliation , just the enormous guilt of what both parties could have done to prevent the drowning of their 4 - year - old son . bize has a gift for making audiences identify with such emotionally trying situations , though his oh - so - polite fifth feature errs on the side of good taste , and it\u2019s a bit of a yawn by comparison \u2014 not only to holy terror lars von trier , but to bize\u2019s previous work as well .\nthe location map attached to the call sheet of\nthe first duty\n.\nit could be a film called lost horizon . it was made in 1973 .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthis rings a bell with me . i ' m pretty sure it was an episode of the twilight zone , though , not a film as such . if memory serves it may even have been directed by steven spielberg . the crew of us airmen had crashed their ww2 plane when a bomb got stuck in the bomb bay . they could not die properly until their remains had been found but their ghosts were accessible though some sort of time portal . the last scene was of the final guy being discovered beneath the wrecked tail plane .\nthis sounds a bit similar to a robert powell film of 20 years ago , based on james herbert ' s book\nthe survivor\n.\nhow curious to find i am only one member of a sect who was profoundly touched by seeing this film as a child in the 70s .\ni sent this very enquiry to\nempire\nfilm magazine last year and they confirmed that the film is indeed sole survivior , a tv movie made in the early 1970 ' s and starring , amongst others , william shatner . unfortunately the film is not available on video . . . . . . . if anyone knows of a way to obtain a copy i ' d love to have one . it ' s a great film .\ni recall the scene with richard bassheart driving drunk off into the desert and the crew disappearing as described that they wanted all of them to be found , that in trying to solve the mystery of the missing crew they find the personal effects of each on the plane including a harmonica . that the searchers couldn ' t understand why the crew thought they were over water until they figured out the moonlight and clouds that the sand looked like water . and that bassheart was the navigator that bailed out on them and that the crew haunted , i swear it was a 70 ' s tv movie , it may have been color , as others have said i don ' t recall the title or having seen it again . it led me to the book about the real crash of the lady be good and its facts . it might have been mentioned in the opening or closing credits .\nthe film in question isn ' t\nthe survivor\n( the film of the james herbert book ) . the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash ( i think totally unharmed ) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up . the twist is that he didn ' t survive . he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .\ni agree with the men not knowing that they are dead and remember the film as . so g in b & w ; for most of it and only being in colour at the end when the rescuers arrive and i think john wayne ' s son was in it . i so have been trying to find out the name of this film for years\nthe title refers to homeopathy \u2013 the way water\nremembers\nhealing properties . stephenson suggests our brains work similarly , saving what they need to keep us going . any self - centricity \u2013 and these sisters have plenty \u2013 is rooted in vulnerability .\nspanish - language stars elena anaya and benjamin vicu\u00f1a play a couple in mourning in the latest film from chilean director matias bize ( ' the life of fish ' ) .\nwow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .\ni remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .\nit sounds very like a book by james herbert called survivor ( or the survivor ) - not sure if they ever made a film of it though .\nthere seems to be a number of variants . i recalled a black and white version and the actors having the ' perfect english ' reminiscent of the old war films - i recall the crew sitting under a sheet under the wing of the plane and talking about not being able to leave the dessert . . . maybe its the 1968 one mentioned by the film buff in spain\nwhatever the name of this film is , one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site , with one of them remarking that it ' hangs in the air just like a bird ' or something like that . suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .\nsorry , dino , but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast . ( see\nurltoken\nweb site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t\nsole survivor\n.\nsorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .\ni too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !\nflight of the phoenix has been offered by a number of people during my quest . . . but , of course hollywood is about to release a new desecration - erm , version of that classic .\nemmi : i did not . i remember specifically trying to find contemporary novels about climate change when i was writing memory of water , and not finding many \u2013 i think ice people by maggie gee , solar by ian mcewan and the carbon diaries by saci lloyd were among the few i came across that dealt directly with the imagined impact of climate change . i would have been overjoyed to come across a website like yours at the time . i think the resources and awareness have made big leaps in the past few years , and today the list would be much bigger . i think i only first heard of climate fiction in 2013 , when my book had already been out in finland for well over a year . the term piqued my interest immediately , and i think it\u2019s a great way of describing certain types of speculative fiction .\nthis is a story about social integration . when vietnamese father and son go to the river ebro in spain they reminisce about their roots in vietnam . it is a precious time and the first time they have discussed this together . through the age - old artistic tradition of water puppet theatre , their story unfolds as the father wants to remember and the son wants to forget\nhow frustrating ! i was hoping by the time i had got to the end of the discussion that the film would have been found . i told my daughter that she must watch ' flight of the pheonix ' as i thought that it was this film , and i was so disappointed that it was the wrong film . i remember that they crashed because they thought the heat from the dessert sand was the sea , and they were trying to crash into the sea . and i remember the twist at the end being so good as i didn ' t have a clue that they were really all dead until the army came to clear the wreckage and they were invisible ghosts ! i would love to see this film again . . . has been a long time .\ni too remember a film ' sole surviver ' about a man that lost his wife and daughter in a plane accident . when he tries to investigate he is pursued by some black op federal agents . the main agent was played by billy zane . the plot was of mind control and child experiments in a secret lab where people ' s minds were remotely controlled . the pilot of the commercial aircraft purposely crashed the plane because of his mind being controlled by one of the kids . in the end the man rescues a young girl , his own daughter ' s age , who was the ' sole surviver ' of the crash . the film was a two - part tv film never reproduced for dvd or vcr . i have tried to obtain copies to no avail . if anyone does get a lead on this film and how to obtain copies , please let me now . it is an incredible film , not to be confused with ' soul survivor ' .\ni also remember this movie from a long time ago , and like everyone can not remember the name or anyone who starred in it . . . there is parts of sole survivor on you tube for anyone wanting to watch it for 10 minutes , it may jog someones memory ' s of whether this is the mystery movie that spookily stuck in all our minds .\ni too am haunted by the memory of this film . and i agree , the title was catch 22 . it must have been in the late 1960 ' s on tv . i remember their spirits disappearing traumatically one at a time as their bodies were discovered . and the poor soul that is left behind by himself for eternity . . . that ' s what ' s so haunting about it . my question is this : how is it possible , this day and age , for a film that was so unique and admired to simply vanish with no trace ?\nemmi : yes , i am now writing my second novel . it is not related to memory of water in any way , but is a standalone set in an entirely different fictional universe . it could probably be best described as a mystery story with elements of urban fantasy , alternative history and new weird ( or perhaps finnish weird ) . it takes place on an island that is slowly drowning due to floods and where dreaming is forbidden . like noria , the main character is a young woman carrying secrets . hers have more to do with identity , but environmental concerns are present , too .\ni have just watched ' sole survivor ' on google videos and after only a few minutes realised it was crap and definitely not the film i remember . the film that was so good we were all moved by , began with the plane flying over what they think is the sea but is the rolling sands of the desert . they think they can jump out with a lifeboat . they do not know they are dead right to the end of the film , which is what makes it so good and definitely not like the weak ' sole survivor ' plot . i think it is ' flight of the ? ' because i was surprised when i discovered it wasn ' t ' flight of the phoenix ' as an adult . please stop telling those of us who have seen this amazing film , that it is sole survivor . it definitely isn ' t ! ! ! !\nin \u201c the memory of water , \u201d a beautiful woman\u2019s eyes well with tears as she fusses with the pool cover behind the house where she , a spanish translator named amanda ( elena anaya , the plastic - surgery patient in pedro almodovar\u2019s \u201cthe skin i live in\u201d ) , and her architect husband , javier ( chilean tv star benjamin vicuna ) , were happiest . now she can hardly stand to look at javier , whose features remind her of their dead son , pedro . it\u2019s not immediately stated , but one can infer that the swimming pool played some role in their current predicament \u2014 if not from the opening scene , then from the look architect javier gives a bit later while helping a pair of family friends plan their dream home ( when the couple mentions a pool , he tenses up ) .\nmary : though i found the entire novel fascinating and gorgeously written , there were several very powerful scenes that i just kept going back to read . these scenes emphasized memory , secrets , reflection , imagination . one was noria imagining what snow must have been like . regarding reflection , early in the book there was a scene wherein noria was looking at a dry riverbed . she imagined past - times when the river flowed with water . she imagined in that past - time a woman standing at the river\u2019s edge , able to see her reflection in the water . noria wondered if the woman would go home and change even one thing about her life\u2013which i thought maybe eluded to us , reflecting on ourselves , our future , and mitigating climate change and environmental problems . the illustration was perfect . do you have some thoughts about this particular scene and what you were portraying ?\ni just watched ' sole survivor ' on youtube and whilst this is similar to the movie i remember - it is not it . this seems to be a re - make of the original - whatever that was . the music is not correct - it was a weird tune that was whistled if my memory serves me right . this was 30 years ago ! there were also no us troops carrying bodies with american flags draped over them at the end . i would have remembered this . please let me know if anyone unearths the original movie - which was probably from the 50 ' s going by my memory of the actors . there was a plane that flew overhead though but they could not get their attention .\nalso known as the memory of water , director lewis gilbert ' s low - key drama ( based on a play by shelagh stephenson ) centers on three sisters who return home following their mother ' s death , and the memories that bind them . desperate to discover who remembers which events with the most clarity , sisters theresa ( julie walters ) , mary ( joanne whalley ) and catherine ( victoria hamilton ) soon discover that the real truth about their family lies much deeper than any one person can recall . as the sisters memories slowly surface , it soon becomes apparent that no one version of any tale provides a definitive answer to their questions regarding their past . ~ jason buchanan , rovi\nwell , ive just watched ' sole survivor ' on dvd . its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator . in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start , and that its been seventeen years since the crash . the film i remember has the whole crew ( no survivors ) believing that they are still alive . it doesn ' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out ( no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash ) and the helicopter crew cant see the ( dead ) crewmen . there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film , long after the plane wreck has been found , and not the initial discovery .\ni remember seeing a movie late one night many years ago where the crew of a ww2 american bomber are hanging around the wreck of their aircraft in the desert . every time they try to leave they always end up back at the wreck . i seem to remember too that they were very fastidious about where they left their equipment . i must have asked a hundred people if they remember the film , but no luck . this has been the only place where people have described the story the way i remember it . the film sounds like\nsole survivor\n1969 tv movie staring william shatner which used the wreck of a b25 - j mitchell bomber . i hope this is the same film your thinking of . is it available on video anywhere ?\ntwo years ago , venice days attendees voted bize\u2019s 2011 relationship drama \u201cthe life of fish\u201d their favorite film of the decade , and though that movie won a goya and was selected by chile to compete in the academy awards , it has never been released in the united states . like \u201clife , \u201d \u201cmemory\u201d also premiered in venice days , and though bize\u2019s characters would be the first to admit that life\u2019s not fair , it\u2019s a shame american audiences have never been in the position to sample this talented director\u2019s work \u2014 which is characterized by subtlety and care , rather than brazen tearjerker tactics , even though all of his films are \u201cabout crying\u201d ( the title of his third feature ) in one way or another .\nplot : the film follows winston churchill ' s early days as prime minister while hitler closes in on britain during world war ii .\noh how disappointing , i was hoping there would be an answer for me here . i too remember watching this film as a child in the 1970 ' s an have been trying to find it for years . i ' ve seen sole survivor and flight of the phoenix . it is most certainly neither of these . the film i ' m looking for was black & white and the airmen did not know they were dead . that ' s the big twist at the end . i ' m fairly sure it was a feature film too , not an episode of twilight zone . it was shown on a weekend afternoon . i hope someone can get to the bottom of this one !\ni remember with clarity , a boy 9 or 8 roasting some bird eggs on a hot rock and eating for survival after a plane crash and gets to be a survivor in the film . but can ' t remember film name . can anybody ?\nthis page has just answered a quest i have had for over a decade - i ' ve asked all sorts , including those who title themselves film afficiondos its weird to see that so many other people have been trying to find the title of this film as well - a bit like our own episode of the twilight zone . i can rest easy now . thanks again .\nhi everyone . i watched the flight of the phoenix recently all the way to the end hoping it was the film i remembered - waiting for the twist ! course it didn ' t happen . the description of sole / soul survivor just don ' t seem to fit in with the fact no - one was alive and the twist definitely came right at the end . i just wish i could see it again . . .\nthe set design by takis suggests snowfall and salt flats \u2013 both memories of water in their own way . nikolai foster ' s production scuffs some of the play ' s subtleties . scant family resemblance and what could be a 20 - year age gap make it hard to believe that mary jo randle ' s stern teresa and amanda ryanas the rudderless catherine shared overlapping childhoods . when they put on vi ' s dresses , each looking like a different quality street , foster trades the eeriness of triple vision for a cheap visual gag . it ' s a mark of the strength of stephenson ' s writing that it survives any such dilution .\nnot looking good - reply to query to the american film institute : thank you for your interest in afi . we are sorry to report that we have been unable to identify the film you described . to continue your quest , you might wish to contact the following organizations with your question : library of congress motion picture and television reading room : urltoken academy of motion picture arts and sciences margaret herrick library : urltoken the reference librarians at these organizations may be able to direct you to the film you seek . we wish you success in your search . best , the afi staff\nsole survivor is indeed the film in question , although you might not recognise it from its description in most databases . they tend to emphasise the come - uppance of the now senior aviator who was responsible for the crash , rather than the more interesting supernatural aspect that everyone actually remembers the film for . any similarity to the twilight zone episode is probably down to the fact rod serling also wrote sole survivor . it ' s likely that he drew inspiration from the discovery of the crashed wwii us bomber ' lady be good ' in the libyan desert during the late ' 50 ' s .\nthe movie i ' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze . then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .\nmary : speaking of reflection , it can be shattered in not only water but in mirrors of history that aren\u2019t truthful . noria and her friend sanja , when searching through a midden grave , uncover old - world recordings , which hint of a truth stronger than ones given by the novel\u2019s military and superpower china\u2013which , like many governments even today , edit history to \u201ccorrect the course\u201d that has taken many wrong turns that lead to dystopian or dysfunctional societies . even the pod books mentioned in your novel are easily revised . the old recordings speak of an expedition in which explorers from another time find lots of fresh water in the \u201clost lands\u201d , a place that is still a mystery to noria and sanja . i think part of the problem with climate change is that we have already revised our history and are , in parts of the world , in denial that climate change exists or that it will hurt future generations . only if we allow ourselves to see the truth will we potentially do better for our descendents . to allow this truth , perhaps it will take some exploring , reflection ?\nthank you one and all ! i ' ve been trying to remember the name of this film for 20 years ! have now checked ' sole survivor ' on imdb and it is the right title . excellent !\nit ' s called sole survivor . . i remembered it as a kid . you can watch the film in its entirety at urltoken urltoken\nmary : your book is slow and persistent . every detail you shape has meaning . you incorporate rocks and winds and insects and all matter of life into the plot , the movement of the story . the narrator , noria , is keen and observant and caring and strong , a great heroine for a young adult audience but meaningful and inspirational to people of all ages . she is observant of the shape of time , water , and memories . she feels that imprints of the past are strong currents around her . i guess this isn\u2019t a real question , but my own observations that your writing excellently portrays memories , secrets , and imprints . can you talk a little about deciding on how these factors carve your novel ?\ni disagree that it was\nsole survivor\n. that was a different story where a survivor of a crash became a highranking officer who had wrongly claimed that his plane had gone down in the mediterranean . the film ( definitely not a twilight zone story ) was set in the desert and consisted of the dead crew of the crashed aircraft not knowing they were dead until their colleagues suddenly began disappearing as their bodies were found . the final\nsurvivor\nwas almost left alone by the plane until his body was found and his ghost released . i still don ' t know the name of the film and would love to know it .\nthis film is not sole survivor . it was a black and white film . the crew did not know they were dead . it was only when each of them was discovered that it dawned on them and they disappeared . unfortunately there appear to be 3 films that have the same sort of plot . . . . . does anyone else remember this one ? ? ? ? ? ?"]}

down that the press and hollywood insiders will not receive any episodes in advance \u2014 either on dvd or via online screening \u2014 circumventing industry convention . \u201cwe\u2019re not sending out press copies this year , anywhere in the world , \u201d hbo programming president michael lombardo told ew . \u201cthere will be no copies for review . \u201d\nultimately , it ' s these fist - pumping moments that won out for me . it ' s absurd to compare game of thrones to the artistry of a sopranos or a wire by this point , but it ' s unparalleled in terms of thrill and i will miss it very much when it ' s gone ( in just seven episodes ' time ) .\nit also features some game balancing and tweaks . for example , the warning that pops up when enemy units are within range of bombardment by one of your cities will now block you from accidentally advancing the turn without attacking . there are also some adjustments to the cost of certain buildings as well as to specific civilizations . you can see the full patch notes below .\narya stark in braavos - two more chapters after she goes blind at the end of the fourth novel . another arya chapter from the upcoming sixth novel was released as a preview before season 5 : the second half of it involved arya killing a lannister guard on her kill list who came to braavos , and this was already adapted in season 5 ; the first half of the chapter involved a lengthy scene at a stage play in braavos , and screenshots confirm this will appear in season 6 .\nthough martin has released about half a dozen preview chapters from the sixth novel , it isn ' t clear how much of a basis they can be for any material in the tv series , due to existing differences between the book series and the adaptation . also , until the book is released , there is no way of analyzing the adaptation process fully ( e . g . , if the actions of one character in season 6 are actually a condensation of the actions of two different characters in the sixth novel ) .\non march 27 2015 , author george r . r . martin said he would again not write a script for season 6 , as he wished to concentrate on finishing the winds of winter as soon as possible . [ 50 ] on june 4 , miguel sapochnik indicated he was already preparing to direct next season . [ 51 ] jeremy podeswa made similar statements in june 12 . [ 52 ] on june 19 , the showrunners confirmed that april ferry would be the new costume designer for season 6 , replacing michele clapton , who decided to leave after five seasons . [ 53 ] on june 22 , newcomer jack bender announced he would direct two episodes for season six . [ 54 ] the full list of directors and which episodes they would oversee was released in entertainment weekly on june 25 . there are five directors , each doing two back to back episodes , as in season 5 . jack bender and daniel sackheim are working on the tv series for the first time , while the other three directors previously worked on the series in season 5 ; none worked on the first four seasons . [ 55 ]\nsimply , season 7 is too short . it doesn\u2019t give itself room to breathe , and certain plotlines feel woefully underdeveloped as a result . scripts are clipped and mangled , and there\u2019s a frustration that too many characters loved by fans have been summarily dismissed without a proper goodbye , or any real continued development of their narratives . it\u2019s a huge shame , because the stuff that actually does happen is so damn good , and you can suspend disbelief for some of the less realistic events ( all of episode 6 , then ) because it\u2019s massively entertaining tv .\ncivilization vi is a worthy sequel for the franchise . firaxis has crafted the best vanilla version in the franchise ' s history , with a host of leaders , a great soundtrack , some keen art direction , and new features like the city expansion . there ' s not much missing this time around and i look forward to seeing what firaxis adds to an already amazing game .\n- - mike williams [ full review ]\ni don\u2019t know how he did it , but elmore leonard often succeeded in writing clever dialogue that sounded authentic . \u201cgame 6\u201d sometimes succeeds on the clever part , but rarely on the authentic part . for me , it doesn\u2019t succeed on the clever part enough to reach base safely . sometimes , the dialogue doesn\u2019t seem clever , but just opaque . most of the time , it seems stagy . also , the story seems overwhelmed by random encounters , some of which are too convenient . overall , i was occasionally amused , but never found any of the characters believable enough to care very much . why don\u2019t the female cabbie and her son sound like real people ? why does nicky suddenly decide to shoot steven ? why does lillian track nicky down at the bar ? why does nicky start singing a song about wally backman flying to right , when he just watched him fly to left ? if steven doesn\u2019t want to be noticed , why does he wear a disguise that guarantees he will be noticed ? rated r partly because of a titillating cheating scene and some profanity\nif mcshane is meribald , he will be interacting with an outlaw band menacing the countryside in season 6 just as the septon does in a feast for crows . the casting call described the show version of the outlaws as \u201ca group of renegades who have turned on the land that they swore to protect . they\u2019re now extorting the poor and vulnerable . \u201d hbo has cast stage actor ricky champ as an outlaw named flynn . to get a sense of the trouble these guys might cause , take a look at flynn\u2019s not - too - cuddly headshot . champ will likely also be joined by icelandic actor j\u00f3hannes haukur j\u00f3hannesson .\nalthough several plotlines of this season are ahead of the point the novels reached , large parts of it are based on the fourth and fifth novels\na feast for crows\nand\na dance with dragons\n; it also consists of a few scenes based on the first and third novels\na game of thrones\nand\na storm of swords\n, and scenes based on sample chapters of the upcoming sixth novel\nthe winds of winter\n.\nnonetheless , season 6 will mostly draw upon the as - yet - unpublished sixth novel , the winds of winter - certainly for jon snow and daenerys targaryen ' s storylines , as the final chapters of the fifth novel were the cliffhangers of jon being stabbed by his own officers and daenerys being surrounded by the dothraki khalasar . george r . r . martin did give the tv producers an outline of events that will happen in the final two unpublished novels - though at the same time , they don ' t have access to hundreds of pages of source material anymore ( for pulling specific lines of dialogue , etc . )"]}

the torture scene . when i saw it , everyone was squirming , and one critic later admitted they had considered leaving altogether during it .\nfor both of them , their awayday affair seems to have been an expensive , but ultimately worthwhile , excursion . carl has rediscovered his rightful place with his family , while sally has used him as a first - class ticket out of an unhappy engagement .\nkristy : i realized maybe thirty seconds before mother says lukas is dead what the deal was . and i let out a low groan , because i was so filled with dread and also so stunned i hadn\u2019t realized it sooner . but the film masks it beautifully with the tone - it feels like a dark fairy tale , so you take a lot of its style for granted . even the original title offers a clue : ich seh ich seh translates to \u201ci see i see . \u201d\n' s director , kevin mclaughlin always strives to have a great soundtrack in anything he produces . in this case , he ' s been very lucky to have some of his favorite music artists contribute to the film ' s soundtrack .\nfrom the opening scene , when dani finds mark strung out on heroin in an abandoned cinema , viewers know they\u2019re in for the chronicle of a downward spiral . tension with the skinheads forms a key element , especially since dani has the hots for a girl nicknamed starlet ( ruby o . fee ) , who turns out to be the main squeeze of their chief antagonist . alcohol , drugs and a general feeling of semi - lawless stagnation permeates everything and acts like a straightjacket , preventing any of the pals from moving forward .\ncrushed dreams and loss of stability following the collapse of the berlin wall are the main themes of andreas dresen\u2019s disappointing \u201cas we were dreaming , \u201d a hard - edged drama about a group of friends coming of age just as the cold war ends . stuffed to the gills with fights , strobe lights and anarchic energy , the well - played pic feels like a late arrival in a long line of movies from throughout the former eastern bloc covering similar ground . dresen certainly knows his east german grunge , yet the unnecessary voiceover , frequent flashbacks and stereotyped female characters play like a film from at least 10 years ago . sales outside german territories may be a battle .\nrunning around without direction , he enters an office building , and while it ' s not pierce & pierce , the security guard on duty still calls out to him with recognition - - referring to bateman as\nmr . smith .\npresumably not to leave witnesses , the protagonist shoots and kills the guard , and does the same to a janitor on his way out through a revolving door . he then finds his way to pierce & pierce - - which is in a literally identical building - - and makes his way up to his office .\nkristy : our sympathies are with elias and lukas for the first 2 / 3 of the film . but in this scene , your alliance begins to switch . you\u2019re forced to see them in a new light , not as victims but as villains .\nthese filmmakers are not na\u00efve . as one of them explains in an interview about the making of the film , included on the dvd , israel and lebanon were at war during the shooting of this movie . challenges aboundand they are very real . and in the film nasira and rochel have to maneuver their budding friendship through the obstacles of family members\u2019 skepticism and even opposition to their muslim - jewish friendship . but even so , real friendships are also possible , and alliances to protect religious freedom can cross unexpected lines .\nour interpretation of american psycho ' s finale is far from the only opinion floating around out there , and from our stance you can probably piece together what the principal alternate theory is : patrick bateman actually killed everybody , including paul allen . in order to believe this , you kind of just have to go with the flow when it comes to the aforementioned fantasy and delusion featured in the movie ' s third act - but there is an argument to be made . how ? the key is in the film ' s deep , deep satire .\none thing i think is a failure on my part is people keep coming out of the film thinking that it ' s all a dream , and i never intended that . all i wanted was to be ambiguous in the way that the book was . i think it ' s a failure of mine in the final scene because i just got the emphasis wrong . i should have left it more open ended . it makes it look like it was all in his head , and as far as i ' m concerned , it ' s not .\npaul schoenberger is a long -

smith\u2019s sally is sadly no lobber of self under trains . even the valiant colman fails to raise a flicker of interest , so often is she wheeled out to fill the wifely stereotype .\nover 700 international guests , including more than 400 film industry professionals , flocked to montreal over the course of this year\u2019s massive three - week festival and its fronti\u00e8res international co - production market . the festival team is delighted to have welcomed over 70 international journalists , including esteemed representatives of the hollywood reporter , variety , screen daily , indiewire , le monde , entertainment weekly , vanity fair exclaim . ca , and more .\nafter much cruelty and mounting suspicion , the twins tie \u201cmother\u201d ( as she\u2019s credited in the film ) to her bed and being an unholy inquisition demanding to know where their real mother is . things turn to torture . they superglue her mouth shut to keep her quiet . when it comes time to feed her , elias uses manicure scissors to cut through the hardened glue , and accidentally clips her lip resulting in spurts of blood .\nfamily members are largely nonexistent or , if included , typecast in the \u201chard - working single mom who\u2019s never around\u201d vein . starlet\u2019s motivations are a mystery , her role largely limited to that of a fantasy figure who teases and disillusions in equal measure . a bizarre scene in which dani eludes attackers by seeking refuge in the apartment of a woman who turns out to be a horny housewife presumably is meant to express the repressed longings of the average leipziger of the era , but it\u2019s simply ridiculous .\ncelebrating is 21st edition , fantasia enjoyed an excellent attendance at its 2017 edition . for the eight consecutive year , the festival succeeded in attracting more than 100 , 000 spectators ( 17 % of which was tourist clientele ) . the attendees were able to enjoy 155 feature films , over 260 short films , 4 outdoor screenings , 20 free screenings , 1 special cin\u00e9 - concert , 12 virtual reality films through our partnership with samsung , and numerous special events . more than 60 of our screenings were sold out .\non the blu - ray / dvd commentary , guinevere turner also explains that the reality of the film certainly does become progressively heightened over the course of the story , but rather than suggesting that patrick bateman isn ' t actually killing anybody , it ' s merely meant to signify the point of view that we are looking through . essentially , what we ' re seeing is mostly real , but there are some superficial detail changes . she explains ( via imdb ) ,\nemily marshall wanted to be a singer - songwriter , but instead of following her dream , she wants to settle and gets married . emily and her husband have two children and she teaches music at a high schoo . her daughter is fourteen and her son is only ten years old , when she finds out she has breast cancer . her life changes completely when she is faced with this life - threatening disease . they will look at life differently and with the help of new friends she learns to chase her old dreams .\nit was while being interviewed by charlie rose a few years back that harron addressed divisive opinions about the end of american psycho , and she explained that it was never her intention to try and get audiences to rethink the death and murder that had occurred throughout the film . instead , the problem was that she feels she was unable to match the uncertainty in the ending of the original novel , and didn ' t make the movie ' s point clear enough . she explained ,\napologize\nwas used in the german film keinohrhasen ( 2007 ) and on cold case .

[ 17 ]\nhandsome , nice , fit , loving , hot , successful , baby - crazy stud does nothing for perky young blonde . instead , she longs for a boring , angry , paunchy , ageing , failed exec with a barratt home , dishwasher obsession and badger beard , whose very droning voice is enough to have one bodging out one\u2019s eyes . and \u2013 behold ! \u2013 old jowl features is even better at sex , exhibited in the worst , sub - joy of sex intercourse ever seen on british screens : all awed , round mouths , hands clenching on pillows , and did i mention the beard ?\nrebecca : and when i interviewed the directors * adjusts monocle * , they said it was meant to be intentionally ambiguous . like , i asked \u201csooo\u2026 did i miss something ? which is it ? , \u201d because i thought i was so traumatized i might have missed some clue , and they were very clear that that was not a question they intended to answer . the question is , is that a cop - out ? i don\u2019t think so , but i know a lot of people scoff and eye - roll at the \u201cambiguous ending\u201d conceit , which can , after all , be a bit overused\nas demonstrated by the fact that patrick bateman is constantly misrecognized by other characters throughout the film , the protagonist of american psycho is painted as little more than a face in a yuppie - filled crowd . his intense desperation to fit in has actually rendered him invisible , with his job , his valentino suits and his oliver peoples glasses serving as his camouflage . he ' s so invisible that he can go on a murderous rampage through downtown new york and walk away with nobody noticing . and , again , his high status prevents anyone from believing his rather outrageous story of death and mayhem .\nin what can arguably be seen as the biggest twist related to american psycho ' s ending , writer / director mary harron and co - writer guinevere turner have actually gone on record saying that - - in retrospect - - they don ' t love how the film ' s ending came together . this is because they feel that the finale is actually too ambiguous , and they don ' t love the fact that people walk away from the story wondering if it ' s all just a dream . they want to make it very clear : patrick bateman is most definitely a serial killer .\nlike just about everyone else in the film , harold begins by confusing bateman for somebody else , and is fully convinced that the message he was left was just a prank - with the punchline being the idea of a dork like patrick bateman being a serial killer . the crazy lead character tries to explain that his confession was real , but the lawyer refutes his claims about paul allen as an impossibility - - saying that he just saw allen a few days before in london . bateman is left reeling from this revelation , questioning everything he believes that he has done , and processing his deep inner pain .\nrebecca : oof . and you know what gets me . this movie will be such a good rewatch . because there\u2019s this tiny little scene , early on , part of the montage where you see the boys having this happy , glorious summer before their mom comes home , where elias is laying on a raft on the lake , and he\u2019s a little bit scared and calling for lukas , whom he can\u2019t see . and you think \u201coh , lukas is gonna pull a jaws and turn his float over . \u201d but , in retrospect\u2026 nope . that\u2019s how lukas died . ( not that exact scene , because the timing doesn\u2019t work out , but lukas totally drowned in that lake . )\nfeatures numerous witnesses with 50 - year - old memories never before recorded , there were many gaps in the visuals needed to tell this story . to the rescue : gary giacomarra , the illustrator who created the re - enactment drawings featured throughout the film . gary attended rutgers university and queens college , majoring in criminal justice and art . his plans to become an artist were sidetracked by a 20 - year stint in the new york police department . upon retirement , he returned to his love of art , and resumed his studies at the art students league of new york . the week that changed the world is his first major art assignment .\nreally , this conclusion can be drawn just by taking all of the evidence the film presents at face value . there ' s not only harold ' s claim about having just seen paul allen in london , and the murder - free apartment , but there is also the investigation headed up by detective donald kimball ( willem dafoe ) . for a good portion of the movie it looks like bateman is just on the verge of getting caught for allen ' s murder , but then kimball drops the case after finding that the protagonist has an alibi . how did this happen ? because bateman never killed allen , and instead just imagined the whole thing .\nthe movie acknowledges the uphill battle women face in male - dominated workplaces\u2014in this case , law enforcement\u2014but it handles the matter in throwaway lines , an admirable choice . neither mullins nor ashburn are complainers , and they know by heart the compromises they face , and they know that it will be doubly hard for them to move ahead because of their sex . but they don ' t dwell on it . they ' re too busy . when they do finally bond , it doesn ' t come in the usual package of relationship advice , personal revelations , or a makeover scene , although all of these tropes are acknowledged and then tweaked , turned inside out .\nthe heat\nturns female - buddy picture conventions on their ear . good .\nwhat starts to happen as the movie progresses is that what you ' re seeing is what ' s going on in his head . so when he shoots a car and it explodes , even he for a second is like\nhuh ?\nbecause even he is starting to believe that his perception of reality cannot be right . as he goes more crazy , what you actually see becomes more distorted and harder to figure out , but it ' s meant to be that he is really killing all these people , it ' s just that he ' s probably not as nicely dressed , it probably didn ' t go as smoothly as he is perceiving it to go , the hookers probably weren ' t as hot etc etc etc it ' s just bateman ' s fantasy world .\nonly altman\u2019s eclectic catalog of films traces the changing contours of the industry itself . after a long stint directing television , industrial films , and a low - budget juvenile delinquency picture in the \u201850s and \u201860s , altman finished the surreal psychodrama that cold day in the park , the same year easy rider came out . cold day concerns frances ( sandy dennis ) , an isolated single woman living in vancouver who takes a mute young boy ( michael burns ) in off the streets and over time becomes sexually obsessed with him . trapped in a social circle of doters and dowagers , frances is shaped by their stodgy customs ; she can hardly connect with the boy other than to pepper him with questions he can\u2019t or won\u2019t answer , and engage in lengthy , despairing monologues about the dead end her life has become .\nthere ' s a scene in\nthe heat\nin which two people , fbi agent sarah ashburn ( sandra bullock ) and boston police detective shannon mullins ( melissa mccarthy ) , struggle with one another to be the first to open a door . it has already been established that mullins resents the snooty interference of an fbi outsider into her case . we also know that ashburn has problems getting along with , well , anyone . ashburn and mullins are forced to work together to bring down a boston drug kingpin , or something like that \u2014 it doesn ' t matter \u2014 and for the majority of the film they bicker over whose case it is , whose interrogation style to follow , who knows more about the background intel .\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 ?

politicizing the reality of the crisis \u201cin favour of a kafkaesque melodrama in which the actors are struggling helplessly in the absolute mystery of their oppression . \u201d\nthe film\u2019s politically sensitive subject matter made it difficult to finance . despite initial encouragement from the national film board \u2019s director of production pierre gauvreau , the nfb rejected the project in may 1971 . the canadian film development corporation ( cfdc , now telefilm canada ) also turned it down before approving a fourth draft of the screenplay in 1973 and agreeing to finance part of the film\u2019s $ 250 , 000 budget . at the time of the film\u2019s release , brault stated that he did not set out to make a film about the october crisis per se , but rather \u201ca film about humiliation . \u201d\nthe marshalls find half a diary from a former human resident of the land of the lost that might hold the key to returning to the real world .\nthe film ' s claustrophobic , cyclical , bleak mood surrounding the heroic quest of the detective struck a responsive chord after the scandalous watergate era of the early 1970s . the film ' s two puzzling mysteries and tragedies - family - related and water - related - are beautifully interwoven together . the water - rights scandal at the heart of the film expresses how ecological rape of the land has occurred in outrageous land - development schemes that redirect the water ' s flow . it reminds viewers that the days of abundant natural resources ( and life - giving water that turns a forbidden wilderness into a plentiful garden ) are past -

boat captain , did his whole part as a send - up and wrecked a lot of the tension of the film because , in our version of the script , the german was more - or - less the central character . we didn\u2019t want the usual burroughs 1916 ranting hun , so we made him the philosophical core of the film . we gave him speeches and everything , we made him a \u2018sensitive kraut\u2019 but mcenery played the whole thing for laughs . they had to re - dub all his dialogue with anton diffring . most of the action in the film came from our script up until two - thirds through . they improved on the beginning by making cuts \u2013 we made as many as we could because most of the book is all in that bloody submarine with them taking turns in taking it over . \u201d\nunrealized projects have been a source of some discussion lately , particularly through hans ulrich obrist\u2019s book / exhibition unbuilt roads . given the spatial and economic limitations faced by many artists , the relevance of the proposal as an artistic medium could continue to expand , and the examples present in \u201cends of the earth\u201d feel especially compelling . for me , it was great to see the original works and documentation in this exhibition , but inclusions like the superstudio collages , which envision a massive , gridded superstructure covering the earth\u2019s surface , communicated more about the expectations and desires of that era . the diagrams and texts for the unrealized projects in \u201cends of the earth\u201d best demonstrate the possibility and excitement present at the birth of land art , revealing the utopian spirit and boundlessness of this era . the brashness of these projects , unswayed by their own impossibility , provides a model for the exhibition itself , which succeeds in presenting a definitive survey of land art , despite spatial and proximate limitation .\nas world war two comes to an end , a group of german pows , boys rather than men , are captured by the danish army and forced to engage in a deadly task - to defuse and clear land mines from the danish coastline . with little or no training , the boys soon discover that the war is far from over . inspired by real events ,\non february 28 , 2006 , members of the iroquois confederacy blockaded a highway near caledonia , ontario to prevent a housing development on land that falls within their traditional territories . the ensuing confrontation made national headlines for months . less well - known is the crucial role of the clan mothers of the community who set the rules for conduct . when the community ' s chiefs ask people to abandon the barricades , it is the clan mothers who overrule them , leading a cultural reawakening in their traditionally matriarchal community .\nwriter robert towne ' s screenplay was partially based on a true los angeles scandal in the early part of the 20th century ( the story of the nefarious 1908 owens valley ' rape ' and scandalous san fernando valley land - grab by speculators ) . the film ' s character , hollis mulwray , was loosely derived from la ' s real - life water engineer william mulholland ( the general manager of la ' s bureau of water works and supply ) , who orchestrated the purchase of water rights and the piping of water from the high sierras into los angeles by an aqueduct that flowed through the now - valuable san fernando valley north of la . the name of the character hollis mulwray was a clever anagram for\nmulholland\n. the evil character of noah cross was a reference to the biblical noah ( and the torrential flood that devastated mankind ) .\nbefore gittes can speak to hollis mulwray , he is sarcastically told that he is\nwelcome to try .\nthe commissioner has unexpectedly and mysteriously drowned in the middle of la ' s summer drought . his body is dragged up , in their view , from the remote , empty , fresh - water reservoir outside los angeles . the victim of an apparent accidental drowning according to escobar , the fall knocked him unconscious and his body was washed down the entire length of the run - off channel . mulwray is missing his glasses and one shoe , and his bow - tie is crooked . [ or was he the victim of profit - seeking , land - hungry opportunists whom he opposed , who are buying up thousands of acres of artificially - created drought land ? ]\nin 1976 , a young woman in krakow is making her diploma film , looking behind the scenes at the life of a 1950s bricklayer , birkut , who was briefly a proletariat hero , at how that heroism was . . . see full summary \u00bb\na private detective , jake gittes , hired to investigate an adultery case , stumbles on the plot of a murder involving incest and the privatization of water through state and municipal corruption , land use and real estate . if he doesn ' t drop the case at once he faces threats of legal action , but he pursues it anyway , slowly uncovering a vast conspiracy .\nan extremely complex film noir full of mystery and intelligent twists that keep us always guessing and trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle , while its brilliant script is only matched by polanski ' s excellent direction and jack nicholson ' s nuanced performance .\nthe investigation of a routine story by a detective uncovers secrets under many layers , facades , red herrings , and networks of corruption , conspiracy and deception . the film contains numerous plot reversals and twists ( many of which regard the private eye ' s client and her family ) , fistfights and some violence , and many changes of scene . as the hero unravels the complicated , elusive facts , he flippantly and self - confidently offers pat explanations for the deeply - flowing corruption he unearths , and then finds he must continually revise his inaccurate pronouncements after uncovering further evidence . his efforts to separate good from evil - to save the good and punish the evil - ultimately fail in the metaphoric ( and then real ) world of chinatown by the film ' s climax . [ the film ' s title , according to towne , referred to a ' state of mind ' rather than an actual geographic place . ]\nmr jonny first arrives to the wild west to present the art of the cinematograph .\nthe original valley grab was the owne river valley scandal of 1908 , mirrored in the 1930s by towne . in the preface to his oscar - winning screenplay , he recalls : \u201cmy wife , julie , returned to the hotel one afternoon with two quilts and a public library copy of carey mcwilliams\u2019 southern california country , an island on the land - - and with it the crime that formed the basis of chinatown . \u201d mcwilliams , for decades the editor of the nation , presented towne not only with information about the original land and water grab , but also evoked the old los angeles , a city born in a desert where no city logically should be found . the screenplay explains , \u201ceither you bring the water to l . a . or you bring l . a . to the water . \u201d john a . alonzo \u2019s cinematography , which got one of the movie\u2019s 11 oscar nominations , evokes the l . a . you can glimpse in the backgrounds of old movies , where the sun beats down on streets that are too wide , and buildings seem more defiant than proud . ( notice the shot where the bright sun falls on the fedoras of gittes and two cops , casting their eyes into shadows like black masks . )\nafter the capitulation of nazi germany , the british liberation forces offered the danish government the opportunity to enlist german pows to defuse mines along the length of the danish western coastline .\n\u201cchinatown\u201d was seen as a neo - noir when it was released - - an update on an old genre . now years have passed and film history blurs a little , and it seems to settle easily beside the original noirs . that is a compliment .\nthe film marked french - born polish director roman polanski ' s return to hollywood five years after the gruesome 1969 manson murders that took the life of his actress wife sharon tate . polanski opted to use a bleak ending rather than the more hopeful finale in the original screenplay , presumably because of his life ' s tragedies . only a few years later , in 1978 , he would be indicted and convicted with the 1977 statutory rape ( and drugging ) of a 13 year - old girl ( later identified as samantha geimer ) while at the home of star / actor jack nicholson ( absent at the time ) , and had to flee to europe as a fugitive . this was polanski ' s last film made on location in the us .\n` ` daughters of pharmacist kim ' ' also inspired film and tv adaptations . this family drama is about a pharmacist and his four very different daughters , slightly reminiscent of louisa may alcott ' s ` ` little women . ' '\nyet the bogart character is never merely cold . his detachment masks romanticism , which is why he\u2019s able to idealize bad women . his characters have more education and sensitivity than they need for their line of work . he wrote the rules ; later actors were able to slip into the role of noir detective like pulling on a comfortable sweater . but great actors don\u2019t follow rules , they illustrate them . jack nicholson \u2019s character j . j . gittes , who is in every scene of \u201cchinatown\u201d ( 1974 ) , takes the bogart line and gentles it down . he plays a nice , sad man .\nmalte grunert was born in 1967 in berlin . after attending law school at the fu in berlin , he started out in the film industry producing documentaries , before moving into tv drama working for various companies including bavaria film and clt ufa . from 2006 until 2009 , grunert was head of the feature division at studio hamburg and went on to found amusement park film in 2009 . he has produced and co - produced 11 feature films to date , among them perfect sense , directed by david mackenzie and starring ewan mcgregor and eva green . he also executive produced mackenzie ' s\nrock ' n roll romantic comedy\ntonight you ' re mine , filmed entirely on site at the t in the park festival . most recently grunert produced a most wanted man , based on john le carr\u00e9 ' s novel and directed by anton corbijn , starring the late philip seymour hoffman , willem dafoe and rachel mcadams . he also co - produced mike leigh ' s mr . turner , which premiered in competition at the 2014 cannes film festival . his next project is the british / german co - production remainder , video artist omer fast ' s debut based on a novel by tom mccarthy , starring tom sturridge .\nlike most noir stories , \u201cchinatown\u201d ends in a flurry of revelation . all is explained , relationships are redefined , and justice is done - - or not . towne writes of \u201cmy eventual conflict with roman and enduring disappointment over the literal and ghoulishly bleak climax\u201d of the movie . certainly the wrong people are alive ( and dead ) at the end of the film , but i am not sure polanski was wrong . he made the movie just five years after his wife , sharon tate , was one of the victims of the manson gang , and can be excused for tilting toward despair . if the film had been made 10 years later , the studio might have insisted on an upbeat ending , but it was produced during that brief window when robert evans oversaw a series of paramount\u2019s best films , including \u201c the godfather . \u201d\nsimone b\u00e4r founded the\ncastingstudio\nin 1990 . her extensive database and great talent for spotting ingenues has made her a much sought after casting agent for german and international productions . b\u00e4r was in charge of the german casting of the monuments men , the book thief , the grand budapest hotel , the reader and a most wanted man among others as well as michael haneke ' s the white ribbon and christian petzold ' s phoenix . in 2002 simone b\u00e4r received the german film award for casting .\njake arranges a final showdown with cross at the mulwray mansion , showing him evidence of both the land grab and the murder . mulvihill , who accompanied cross , holds a gun to jake\u2019s head and forces him to lead them to chinatown and the girl . cross finds the pair on the verge of escaping and pleads with evelyn to hand katherine over to him . instead , evelyn pulls a gun on cross , shooting him in the arm before attempting to flee with katherine in their car . the police , ignoring jake\u2019s claims that cross is the true criminal , fire on the car and end up killing evelyn . cross then takes katherine away , and lieutenant escobar orders the stunned jake to go home .\njake tells evelyn mulwray what he has learned about this scheme , and the two discover that cross and his associates at the albacore club , a private association of the wealthy and powerful , are hiding the scheme by purchasing the land in the name of the residents of a local rest home of which they are benefactors . returning to the mulwray home , jake and evelyn wind up in bed together . while lying there , , evelyn receives a phone call and leaves the house suddenly . jake secretly trails her to an unfamiliar house , where the young blond woman he saw earlier with hollis is lying on a bed , apparently restrained . jake confronts evelyn about the woman , and evelyn says that she is her sister .\n\u201ci try to be as professional as possible in whatever i do , but i knew it would be silly to get too serious about a film like this . anyway , before jim and i started , as i wanted to do the best i could for the film , i asked amicus , \u2018what\u2019s the budget ? what can you afford to do ? \u2019 because if we knew what they could afford we could write the script accordingly . and they said , \u2018oh , don\u2019t worry about that\u2019 . and they kept saying that , so in the end we just had to write the script in the dark as far as the budget was concerned and , as a result , about five hundred bleeding dinosaurs came down to one glove puppet . but working on that film was in no way as traumatic as the final programme experience had been because i had no personal involvement with it , none at all . i insisted at the beginning that we do one script , one version , and that would be it , and that was the way we did it . we delivered the script and we got the money\u2026after some time . i think they finally paid us in monthly installments . \u201d\nless impressive was the pterodactyl used in the sequence in which a caveman is snatched up and carried away . \u201cthat we weren\u2019t very pleased with . it worked all right in the film though . we built a full - sized model which was suspended from a crane , for the shot where it swoops down and picks him up , and for the shot showing it flying off with the man in its mouth , we used a smaller model . the man was a model in that shot too , and he contained a mechanism that moved his arms and legs . \u201d possibly the best effects in the film involve the german submarine , which was a model over twenty feet in length . \u201cthere were four of us working on that . we built the sub and filmed it in the largest tank at the studio . it moved on an underwater track and we were underwater ourselves a lot of the time shooting it . we lived like fish for about six weeks filming that thing ! \u201d\nas the title gives away , the dominant inspiration was lewis carroll ' s ' alice ' s adventures in wonderland ' ( 1865 ) , and its sequel ' through the looking - glass ' ( 1872 ) . these were inspired choices , thanks not only to the audience ' s likely familiarity with the text ( even if they hadn ' t read either book , a high - profile feature film adaptation was released over 1972 ' s christmas season ) , but also the number of relevant metaphors that could be extracted from the material .\nafter an inventively surreal first half , the film turns into an animated slideshow illustrating the regulations ' practical impact , from the basic requirement that all labels need to have a description , a list of ingredients and a contact address , to more detailed explanations and exemptions ( some staples like butter and cheese are regulated separately ) . other highlighted issues include a ban on depicting ingredients not included in the product and the importance of verifiability in making claims about a specific food .\nthis crime is eventually revealed as an attempt to buy up the san fernando valley cheaply by diverting water so that its orange growers go broke . then that water and more water , obtained through bribery and corruption , will turn the valley green and create wealth . the valley has long been seen as a key to california fortunes : i remember joel mccrea telling me that on his first day as a movie actor , will rogers offered two words of advice : \u201cbuy land . \u201d mccrea bought in the valley and died a rich man , but he was in the second wave of speculation .\nsmaller columns are headed :\nj . j . gittes hired by suspicious spouse ,\nand\nchief ' s use of funds for el macondo love nest being investigated .\nthe newspaper is being read by gittes seated in a barber ' s chair during a beautifying haircut . the barber barney ( george justin ) makes an off - hand reference to jake ' s near - star status in the center of the film industry :\nthis animated film was sponsored by the ministry of agriculture , fisheries and food , and was intended to explain to housewives , consumer groups and older schoolchildren the impact of the labelling of food regulations 1970 , which came into force on 1 january 1973 . this extended the provisions of the food and drugs act 1955 , which required food to be wholesome , fit to eat , and\nof the nature , quality and substance demanded\n, and the food hygiene ( general ) regulations act 1968 , which made more specific requirements about hygiene standards in food manufacture .\ni wasn ' t sure what to expect from this film . fellow fans of steven spielberg advised me to see\nsugarland express ,\nso i bought the dvd . i ' m glad i did it as it is one of spielberg ' s best . he should have made films more along the lines of\nduel ,\njaws\nand the above film . being based upon a true story is a feather in the films cap . the two main characters - played by goldie hawn and william atherton - are very sympathetic in spite of their circumstances . she is planning to find their baby boy so they can be re - united . he is a convict serving a light sentence . they both help his breaking out of jail and after taking a police officer hostage , they lead the police of texas on a state wide chase . the wife and her convict husband race against time so they can find their son . this has thoughtful moments and it isn ' t a hard - hitting film . there is some violence but it ' s fairly mild and minimal . the pace is good and the tension is sustained throughout . ben johnson does well as one of the senior police officers who leads the dragnet . he is a tough man but he isn ' t totally lacking in compassion . the direction is some of the best from steven spielberg .\naccording to historian thomas tram pedersen , the exact number of the losses will never be known due to the chaos of the first months of peace . there are discrepancies between the danish and german records .\nalthough the film audience and jake ' s operatives are aware of the woman ( by the camera ' s angle ) , jake is the last to learn of her presence . he turns and meets the client behind him -

[ this is the first instance in the film of seeing ' evidence , ' ' proof ' or facts in a case that can easily be misunderstood or misread . he voyeuristically flips through the pictures - creating a peep - show effect . ] curly is so upset that he throws the pictures into the air and grabs the venetian blinds . the self - assured , unperturbed jake understands his agonized pain and commiserates with him , but cooly and detachedly cautions him to stop gnawing on the newly - installed fixtures :\nsinbad and the vizier of marabia , followed by evil magician koura , seek the three golden tablets that can gain them access to the ancient temple of the oracle of all knowledge .\nat one of their largest meeting houses [ in ruatoki ] plans for establishing a pine forest are discussed : the affairs of the future dealt with in the manner of the past .\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 .\ngittes drives up the long , expansive driveway to the mulwray mansion , tended by at least four asian servants - all from chinatown itself : an oriental butler ( james hong ) who shuts the front door on gittes , a chauffeur polishing evelyn ' s car in the driveway , an asian housemaid ( beulah quo ) , and an asian gardener ( jerry fujikawa ) . in the rear of the palatial house is a fish pond and fountain - a strange anomaly in the midst of a drought . the gardener mumbles as he removes a clump of dead vegetation :\nbad for glass .\n[ because he pronounces his r ' s like l ' s , he has really mumbled :\nbad for the grass ,\nreferring to the destructive effects of the salt water in the pool on garden plant growth . ] something shiny in the bottom of the goldfish pool attracts gittes ' eye , but he is not able to fish out the glinting object when mrs . mulwray approaches .

grossing independent film with $ 612 million in worldwide ticket sales . in the years that followed , gibson made several comments that went public , made him seem anti - semitic and racist . they made him persona non grata at major studios and agencies , the same ones that work with others who\u2019ve committed felonies and done things far more serious than gibson , who essentially used his tongue as a lethal weapon . as a journalist who vilified gibson in the new york times and entertainment weekly until my coverage allowed me to get to know him , i want to make the case here that it is time for those hollywood agencies and studios to end their quiet blacklisting of mel gibson . once hollywood\u2019s biggest movie star whose film braveheart won five oscars and whose collective box office totals $ 3 . 6 billion , gibson hasn\u2019t been directly employed by a studio since passion of the christ was released in 2004 .\nierre dumaine is the leader of a resistance movement in an unnamed police state . he is preparing an insurrection when he is shot dead by an informer . at the exact instant that pierre dies , \u00e8ve charlier is poisoned by her husband andr\u00e9 charlier , the chief of police , so that he can marry her sister . pierre and \u00e8ve meet in the afterlife , where they are condemned to roam the world they knew as ghosts , unable to change anything they see . when they begin to fall in love , they are offered the chance to return to life for one day . if , in that time , they can prove that they are committed to one another they will be allowed to remain and live a full life . unfortunately , once pierre is back in the land of the living he cannot prevent himself from intervening to save his resistance friends , and \u00e8ve feels equally bound to warn her sister of her husband ' s wicked intentions . . .\nmembers of the cast were to have major roles in four of the greatest plays of postwar theatre : police chief lee j cobb ( willy loman in death of a salesman ) , minor cop karl malden ( mitch in a streetcar named desire ) , cynical reporter sam levene ( nathan detroit in guys and dolls ) , and wrongly accused suspect arthur kennedy ( john proctor in the crucible ) . a decade later , lee j cobb and ed begley , who plays the most corrupt of the local politicians , were to play jurors in 12 angry men , a film for which boomerang ! clearly prepared the way .\ni\u2019ve discussed the holocaust with gibson and whether his views differed from those of his father . just as he refused to condemn his father in that tv interview with diane sawyer , gibson refused to discuss his dad with me . similar to what he told sawyer , gibson told me that he believed that 6 million jews were murdered in the holocaust . \u201cdo i believe that there were concentration camps where defenseless and innocent jews died cruelly under the nazi regime ? of course i do ; absolutely , \u201d he told sawyer . \u201cit was an atrocity of monumental proportion . \u201d in our conversations , i took that a step further . why , i asked him \u201cdid you say those things about the jews starting all the wars ? where did those unkind things come from ? \u201d gibson thought for a moment , then answered that he\u2019d been terribly hurt by the very personal criticism of him from the jewish community over the passion of the christ . he said that while he\u2019d been criticized for films before , this was personal and cruel . he said that when he drinks , he can be a mean drunk and \u201cstuff comes out in a distorted manner\u2026\u201d his own faith led him to make his version of christ\u2019s story , and he found himself being attacked for making a film that might get jews killed , and that he was insensitive that his depiction of jews as christ\u2019s killer could inflame religious tensions . he was called names by numerous jewish leaders and a few people literally spat on him . \u201cthe criticism was still eating at me , \u201d he told me . \u201cthis was a different kind of hammering . a very personal attack . \u201d\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 .\neb ; ucla * ; mertz usc -

known novel . anyone familiar with sartre ' s work will know that he was of the view that we\nhave free will , and that this is the central curse of human existence . in\n( 1943 ) , director jean delannoy was the natural choice to bring jean - paul sartre ' s dark parable about free will to the big screen . delannoy may not have been an auteur in the nouvelle vague sense of the term ( indeed this is what made him such an easy target for the young turks on the\n( 1945 ) . pagliero was presumably chosen on account of his unpolished , working class persona , making him an effective contrast with his co - star , the supremely elegant micheline presle , who is just as well - cast for the role of a society heiress . the chalk - and - cheese pairing of pagliero and presle works extraordinarily well - the evident class - separation of their characters accentuates the animalistic nature of their mutual attraction whilst providing the dramatic tension that gradually undermines their relationship .\noffers many delights , but moreno ' s presence is the icing on the cake , an example of directorial free will at its most reckless and inspired .\nthe gibson i\u2019ve come to know isn\u2019t a man who\u2019ll shout from the rooftops that he\u2019s not anti - semitic , or hold a press conference to tell media those audiotapes were released as part of a shakedown , and that he never assaulted the mother of his infant daughter . he won\u2019t explain to people that he first got himself into a career spiral because he\u2019s a long struggling alcoholic who fell off the wagon and spewed hateful anti - semitic remarks to an arresting officer who was jewish . he won\u2019t tell you that he\u2019s still got a lot to offer hollywood as a filmmaker .\nthe fact that he won\u2019t jump to his own defense is part of his problem , but also part of why i have grown to respect him . that is why on the occasion of this 10th anniversary of\nfor those who are skeptical , i understand . for the longest time , i disliked gibson and thought he was a holocaust - denier , homophobic , misogynistic , racist drunk . i wrote as much in articles for ew and the ny times . and whenever i wrote about him , i would get irate calls from his representatives saying i didn\u2019t know him .\nthen something happened that i never expected . i came to rethink my harsh assessment after i got to know the man . it started when i interviewed him in 2006 for an ew cover . i could see that he was smart , expressing sincere empathy for the people he\u2019d hurt . i had to admit to myself that i was impressed that he hadn\u2019t shied away from answering my tough questions .\nwe next spoke when he was working on a script about vikings with his braveheart writer randall wallace . after that , we spoke occasionally on the phone and met for lunch at his icon production offices to discuss get the gringo . our conversations were mostly about business , but would carry over to movies or books we liked , trips we\u2019d taken . i liked how his mind worked . like the movies he directs , the stories he told were incredibly visual . he never asked me for anything or tried to play me , and i\u2019ve interviewed enough movie stars to know when they are working you . gibson was unafraid to disagree with and challenge me . our conversations broadened to family , our relationships , religion .\nit developed into something that felt like friendship , which doesn\u2019t often happen with investigative journalists and the subjects they cover . odder still was that it happened with a man disdained by my colleagues , friends and my family , who , like me , are observant jews . at this point , gibson\u2019s career had gone all kinds of wrong , starting with that 2006 dui arrest , when he told that cop that \u201cthe jews are responsible for all the wars in the world . \u201d four years later , he sounded positively unhinged and racist in surreptitious recordings of an angry phone exchange between gibson and ex - girlfriend oksana grigorieva \u2014 the mother of his infant daughter . the whole world heard him shout abusively at her and make racist remarks .\nit was after the latter episode that my relationship with gibson truly changed . it\u2019s very difficult to get to know anyone in a journalistic context \u2014 one rarely gets any real insight into the person you\u2019re interviewing . in gibson\u2019s case , this was particularly true . he wasn\u2019t the kind of person to open up a vein and publicly plead for forgiveness as some do . but a conversation that came months after that changed our relationship .\ni was on vacation with my family when gibson called me . during his breakup with grigorieva , he\u2019d gone through a terrible emotional breakdown and struggled to get healthy , gain joint custody of his infant daughter and deal with the fallout from the publication of those awful tapes . he was in a very bad place and we talked for some time about how difficult it was for him to deal with the pain he\u2019d inflicted on his family \u2014 his ex - wife robyn and his seven children , his infant daughter . he got so upset talking about that period in his life that he ended our call abruptly . he\u2019d shared some very deep , personal feelings with me and was in so much pain , that i was honestly worried about him . it wasn\u2019t the type of conversation that one has with an interview subjects . i decided we were friends now and that i could no longer write objectively about him .\nsince then , i\u2019ve gotten to know gibson extremely well . i thought it would be difficult for him to have a friend in the media , but he has been surprisingly honest and trusting . as a lawyer - turned - reporter , i have no problem asking tough questions , even of friends . gibson never wavered or equivocated when i confronted him , whether the subject was his drinking , his politics , his religion or his relationships with women . it soon became clear that my early journalistic assessment of him wasn\u2019t right .\nthis crystallized when we met each other\u2019s families . it was hard to blame his family for being skeptical of a journalist , but the issues with my own family were more challenging . gibson asked to meet them at my son\u2019s bar mitzvah celebration . imagine the scene : a room filled with jews . in walks the person who , in their minds , might be the most notorious anti - semite in america . gibson attended alone and i can only imagine what was going through his head when he walked into the party .\nbefore the evening was over , he was chatting with many of my relatives , who saw a funny , kind , charming guy and not the demon they\u2019d read about . gutsier still , he attended our yom kippur break fast dinner . anyone who has attended such a gathering knows there is nothing more imposing than making friends in a room full of jews who haven\u2019t eaten in 24 hours .\nit might sound na\u00efve after 20 years writing about celebrities , but my friendship with gibson made me reconsider other celebrities whose public images became tarnished by the media\u2019s rush to judge and marginalize the rich and famous . whether it\u2019s gibson , tom cruise or alec baldwin , the descent from media darling to pariah can happen quickly after they do something dumb . i was part of that pack of journalists paid to pounce , so i know . i consider myself intelligent , someone who makes up her own mind , but just like readers do , i have accepted some reports at face value . the press said that based on gibson\u2019s statements , he was a homophobe , a misogynist , a bully , an ant - semite , so he must be . what he was , i discovered , was an alcoholic whose first outburst was captured after he fell off the wagon . what the later release of audiotapes showed was a man with a frightening temper , capable of saying whatever will most offend the target of his anger .\nbased on my exchanges with gibson and my own reporting on his transgressions , i\u2019ve stopped doubting him . he worked in hollywood for 30 years without a single report he was anti - semitic . before that drunken evening in july 2006 , he worked all the time with producers , directors , actors and crew who happened to be jewish , without incident . but , even if i accept the comments from those who believe his drunken remarks tapped into some deep - seated anti - semitism back then , the gibson i know now is clearly a different man , one who has worked on his sobriety since that awful night in malibu .\ngibson would later tell me that he was grateful the officer pulled him off the road that night because he might have killed someone else or himself . he felt so badly for verbally attacking la county sheriff\u2019s deputy james mee that night that he later asked him out for coffee to personally apologize . like many things he does , gibson never publicized that .\ni am not nominating gibson as an altar boy . it takes a certain kind of person to make movies with the intensity of braveheart , the passion of the christ , and apocalypto . as i\u2019ve seen with other temperamental stars , there is a wildness in his blue eyes , an electricity that is part of what has made him a big movie star and a great director . one has only to interview the man to see that there\u2019s something a little different in how he sees the world . he\u2019s intense and rash , and he struggles with alcoholism . despite the australian bravado , and the crude humor , he is actually quite sensitive to criticism , even if he doesn\u2019t publicly challenge or deflect it .\nafter eszterhas traveled to gibson\u2019s costa rica estate to discuss a draft he\u2019d written , things got ugly . i\u2019ve heard from sources at warner bros that eszterhas turned in a shoddy script that was rejected . gibson was upset , the writer\u2019s son taped the outburst and eszterhas leaked a nine - page memo to a website happy to take his side . eszterhas said he did all this for reasons that ranged from persuading gibson to get help to protecting the jews and gibson\u2019s estranged girlfriend from his violent rage . was it possibly a convenient smokescreen to obscure taking a studio paycheck and not putting in the work , or maybe something more , since the writer turned the episode into a windfall when he used the controversy to get an e - book deal ?\ngibson will never win in some quarters , but his penchant for not hitting back makes him the dictionary definition of a good punching bag . i\u2019ve observed hypocrisy in several examples where gibson was vilified . for instance , when agent ari emanuel wrote a column for the huffington post urging hollywood to shun gibson , the actor\u2019s longtime agent , ed limato , told me that emanuel tried to poach gibson as a client as recently as when the passion of the christ was released . \u201cfor some people in my business to publicly try to destroy mel gibson because of this incident the other night i find very hypocritical , \u201d limato told me , \u201csince i know ari and a few others , who even after the passion of the christ have been calling mr . gibson and trying to entice him to their agency as a client weekly . \u201d\nwhile talent including director roman polanski ( drugged and sodomized a minor , and fled ) , mike tyson ( rape conviction ) , chris brown ( beat up ex - girlfriend rihanna ) , t . i . ( weapons charge ) , and many others are repped by major agencies , no agency has touched gibson since emanuel discharged him as a wme client after those tapes surfaced and he used the \u201cn\u201d word . gibson has been shunned not for doing anything criminal ; his greatest offenses amount to use of harsh language .\ni\u2019ve spoken to numerous colleagues who forgave gibson for his anti - semitic remarks ( that list includes dean devlin , mike medavoy and richard donner ) and they are quick to remind you who gibson helped along the way . start with robert downey jr , who at one point was broke and an insurance risk on films . gibson put up the insurance bond himself to secure downey to star in the singing detective , which gibson\u2019s icon produced . it was a performance that ignited the actor\u2019s resurgence . i know that he also helped britney spears when she hit bottom , and that he tried to save whitney houston from the drug abuse that ultimately killed her . not everybody is that generous : when gibson himself needed a break that came when warner bros hired him for a showy role in the hangover part ii , he was abruptly dropped when cast complained to director todd phillips . mind you , these same actors happily worked with tyson despite his felony conviction for rape .\ni don\u2019t bring all this up to excuse anything gibson has done wrong , but sometimes it\u2019s worth a closer look . take the notorious audiotapes released during his row with ex - girlfriend grigorieva . from my own investigation of the incident , i am persuaded gibson did not beat her or give her a black eye . i base this on interviews with her lawyer and the deputy district attorney who handled the case . gibson admitted to \u201ctapping\u201d grigorieva on the head during an argument in which she shook their infant daughter . this was at a time when gibson was going through an emotional breakdown , and grigorieva capitalized on that by secretly taping their calls in an effort to shake money out of him .\non march 11 , 2011 , gibson was charged with misdemeanor battery and pleaded no contest , without admitting guilt . i covered the case for newsweek ( before gibson and i crossed the friendship line ) . the l . a . district attorney\u2019s office determined that gibson was responsible for misdemeanor assault but that there was also evidence of extortion by grigorieva . \u201cthere is no question there was admissible evidence of extortion , \u201d former deputy district attorney john lynch said at the time . \u201cthe problem , however , was whether the d . a . could get a jury to convict . \u201d lynch added , \u201cas a practical matter , you have to choose between the two cases . in the one case of domestic abuse , the victim could potentially be a defendant in the other case of extortion . if we\u2019d filed an extortion charge against ms . grigorieva and tried to call her as a witness in the domestic abuse case , no defense attorney on the planet would allow her to answer questions . \u201d\nalthough the police initially contemplated charging gibson with a felony , they declined . as one investigator with knowledge of the case told me at the time , \u201cthey had enormous problems with the credibility of the complaining witness [ grigorieva ] . \u201d this statement was also confirmed by sources within the district attorney\u2019s office .\ni\u2019ve since learned from gibson about his personal spiral that occurred between his 2006 dui arrest and the breakup with grigorieva . the day after the dui , gibson\u2019s wife asked him to leave the family home . gibson was suddenly single and alone for the first time in 30 years , cut off from his seven children and wife as he struggled to stop drinking . he was depressed and lonely , his career in shambles as he apologized to anyone who\u2019d listen . alone in a new house , he tried to stay off the sauce . it was then that he met grigorieva , a russian pianist who\u2019d dated composer david foster after being married to actor timothy dalton .\nthe relationship got rocky when gibson asked her to sign a co - habitation agreement . shortly after , according to published emails , grigorieva began arguing with gibson about whether he would provide for her if they split . this intensified after the birth of their daughter in october 2009 , when she began taping the recordings that she allegedly leaked to the press despite a judge\u2019s order . those recordings revealed a man in personal turmoil . while they contain racist and misogynistic statements , there is also evidence that the comments she made to provoke those statements were conveniently edited out . no matter . you can\u2019t make any of what he said ok , and gibson paid a price much higher than whatever monies grigorieva walked away with . whatever good will gibson had in hollywood evaporated .\ni\u2019ve asked him why he didn\u2019t defend himself when the tapes surfaced . why didn\u2019t he challenge the assertion he was crazy ? he shrugged his shoulders and said his comments just seem to make things worse . so he continues to say nothing .\nhollywood has long been a town famous for loving a good comeback story . in gibson\u2019s case , i believe that a few powerful people have gone out of their way to prevent that .\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 .\nblack heritage films with all -

we know the hard work they put in and we wish isa every success in building on an amazing launch . \u2019\n\u201cwhen you look at the history of film , there have been to date two great revolutions \u2014 sound and colour , \u201d jeffrey katzenberg exclaimed in the new yorker . \u201cthis will be the third great revolution . . . the day after jim cameron\u2019s movie comes out , it\u2019s a new world . \u201d another hollywood analyst told the magazine : \u201c the industry is looking for its citizen kane , its definitive work of 3 - d , and avatar may be that film . \u201d\nlee daniels , the film ' s director , read push when it was first published and slept with the book under his pillow for three months . for years , sapphire refused to sell him the film rights .\nit felt like a movie might box her [ precious ] in and i wanted her to be free ,\nshe says . it was only after she saw the oscar - winning monster ' s ball , which was produced by daniels , that she changed her mind .\n\u201cand so i thought maybe by squarely acknowledging that moment of death and the immediate moment after , \u201d he said , \u201cit might be a way for a film to be made that could ultimately , sort of counterintuitively , affirm human life . \u201d\nalready confirmed is the resurrection of villainous col miles quaritch ( stephen lang ) , killed spectacularly in the original avatar .\nhis character will evolve into really unexpected places across the arc of our new three - film saga ,\ncameron has said .\nafter montreal and a basketful of awards in japan \u2014 including another best - film prize from the japanese academy \u2014 the oscar was \u201cthe icing on the cake , \u201d mr . takita said . and it was a flavor he could get used to .\nbut because\ndangerous man\nsees the era through ellsberg ' s eyes , and we hear the disgust in his voice as he describes his younger , gung - ho self , the film becomes a fascinating and clear - eyed self - portrait .\nthis movie is rated pg ( for some peril and action ) . it is the second pixar film to receive a pg rating , the first being the incredibles and the third being brave . however , in the united kingdom , up was rated u .\ngeorge and a . j . is released alongside the itunes version of the film . while not released with the blu -

winning play continues to it\u2019s stunning conclusion . first performed in san francisco in 1991 and later adapted into a hbo miniseries starring al pacino and meryl streep , in 2017 it will be directed by olivier and tony award winning director marianne elliott . there will be an encore screening of part ii on thursday august 10th \u2013 more info here .\nharmonium a prizewinner at cannes , koji fukada\u2019s film captures the ripple effects on one family after the father ( kanji furutachi ) invites an acquaintance ( tadanobu asano ) , a recent ex - convict , to work with him in the garage next to his home .\n\u201cfilm and video production are shining examples of how cultural industries \u2013 as vehicles of identity , values and meanings \u2013 can open the door to dialogue and understanding between peoples , but also to economic growth and development . this conviction underpins the unesco convention on cultural diversity\u201d said ko\u00efchiro matsuura , the director - general of unesco . \u201cand this new data on film and video production provides yet more proof of the need to rethink the place of culture on the international political agenda . \u201d overall , the survey yielded data from 101 countries .\nthe crowning glory of this film though lies with christoph waltz whom no fault or error can be found . he manages to create a real tension in the audience whilst remaining quite \u201ctheatrical\u201d ( couldn\u2019t think of a better word ) . he definitely deserved his prize at cannes\ncarl fredricksen as a boy wanted to explore south america and find the forbidden paradise falls . about 64 years later he gets to begin his journey along with a boy scout named russell with help from 500 balloons . on their journey they discover many new friends including a talking dog and carl and russel figure out that someone evil plans . carl soon realises that this evildoer is his childhood idol . will they be able to defeat him and will they find paradise falls ?\ncreation was developed by bbc films and the uk film council , and stars bettany ' s real - life wife jennifer connelly as darwin ' s deeply religious wife , emma . it is based on the book , annie ' s box , by darwin ' s great - great - grandson , randal keynes , and portrays the naturalist as a family man tormented by the death in 1851 of annie , his favourite child . she is played in the film by 10 - year - old newcomer martha west , the daughter of the wire star dominic west .\nin its opening weekend , up made $ 68 . 1 million , the number 1 movie for the weekend . this is the third best opening for a pixar film , only behind finding nemo and the incredibles . according to box office mojo , up has made approximately $ 293 million domestically and over $ 350 million internationally for a worldwide total of over $ 643 million . this makes up the third highest grossing film for pixar , only behind finding nemo at $ 864 . 6 million and toy story 3 at over $ 1 , 000 , 000 , 000\nthe film\u2019s teaser trailers have constituted major news events in their own right ; the minutiae of its plot has been poured ever endlessly . with just a few weeks to go , the fan community \u2013 a not insignificant chunk of the cinema - attending public \u2013 can hardly contain itself .\nthe sheer quantity of people that the man and boy encounter is absurd . if the majority of people worldwide are deceased , then the americas , where the film is set , would be nearly depopulated . they should have not encountered many , if any , people simply because the survivors would either be in isolated town or cities or they would be holed in remote rural areas . since the two largely avoid the former and the size of the latter precludes easy visitation , they shouldn ' t have run into anyone for most , if not all , of the film .\nlemon this year\u2019s designated sundance squirm comedy stars brett gelman ( who wrote the script with his wife , the film\u2019s director , janicza bravo ) as a 40 - year - old drama teacher who alienates everyone around him . judy greer , michael cera and gillian jacobs endure his disagreeable behavior .\nwild ill at ease with civilized life , ania ( lilith stangenberg ) forges what becomes an increasingly close and physical bond with a wolf . if festival reviews are any indication , the film is poised somewhere between a tall tale and a provocative social commentary . nicolette krebitz wrote and directed .\nonce the film was finished , another long wait ensued : 13 months passed before a distributor could be found . but the delay was a godsend , both men said . mr . takita conjectured that the worsening economic climate primed audiences for the film . \u201cis money the most important thing in life ? \u201d he said . \u201cwhat is the most important thing in life ? people certainly are in search of some kind of comfort , of safe haven , and whether they find that in music or in books or in films , it\u2019s pretty clear that people are looking for something . \u201d\nmoscow never sleeps an irish filmmaker , johnny o\u2019reilly , pays tribute to his adopted city of moscow with this ensemble film . the trailer at least paints a much sunnier view of the city than russian imports usually do . aleksey serebryakov ( the protagonist of \u201cleviathan\u201d ) is in the large cast .\nwar machine working from \u201cthe operators : the wild and terrifying inside story of america\u2019s war in afghanistan , \u201d a nonfiction book by the journalist michael hastings ( who wrote the rolling stone article about stanley mcchrystal ) , the director david mich\u00f4d ( \u201canimal kingdom\u201d ) charts the changing fortunes of a united states general ( brad pitt ) with a dash of strangelove - ian mockery . other notable cast members include topher grace , anthony michael hall , tilda swinton , ben kingsley and lakeith stanfield ( \u201cget out\u201d ) .\nunsurprisingly , given its uncompromising subject matter , daniels struggled to get the film off the ground .\nall the studios said no ,\nhe says .\nthey didn ' t want to make a film about a 350lb black girl who is abused .\neventually daniels raised $ 8m from private investors . through sheer force of personality , he persuaded his friend mariah carey to appear in a minor role as an overworked welfare officer , her face denuded of make - up and almost unrecognisable . singer lenny kravitz also appears as a maternity nurse who helps to deliver precious ' s baby .\na stunning documentary of the man who helped launch and then bring an end to the vietnam war . not to mention bringing down nixon and his clutch of horrible henchmen . a true american hero , daniel ellsberg is someone everyone should know about . you watch films like this in the hopes of preventing history from repeating itself . sadly , it already has repeated itself in the form of bushco , his gang of immoral entrepreneurs , and the lies that led america into iraq . and so it goes . . .\nthe woman who left ten years ago , the filipino director lav diaz was a forbidding figure , even among extreme cinephiles . at film festivals they would ask one another in hushed tones whether they really planned to see his nine - hour \u201cdeath in the land of encantos . \u201d lately , mr . diaz seems to have widened his appeal , earning acclaim for his dostoyevsky - inspired \u201cnorte , the end of history\u201d and for this new drama , which won the golden lion at the venice film festival in 2016 . at nearly four hours , it is also one of mr . diaz\u2019s shortest films .\nawakening the zodiac shane west and leslie bibb play a couple who find a 40 - year - old film reel that they believe was shot by the zodiac killer in california . they try to sleuth him out . this displeases the zodiac killer , who is probably a member of aarp by now .\nsevered ways\nis an almost entirely wordless long - form video set to metal and goth music . it tries to imagine what it must have been like to be a norseman exploring north america in 1000 ad . writer / director tony stone ( who also plays the lead role ) appears to know a lot more about music than filmmaking , screenwriting or acting . mostly what you get is interminably long scenes depicting such things as the building of a house . there are also many endless sequences depicting our two norse heroes walking through the wilderness . one thing the film does do is evoke a mood . you really do feel like it ' s 1000 ad and you ' re in a forest . the film does get more interesting as it goes , with our noresemen encountering two christian monks and then a couple of natives . but as soon as something interesting starts to happen in these storylines , stone reverts to another panoramic nature sequence . he seems to be allergic to thought . it ' s too bad , because i get the sense that he ' s got some interesting ideas somewhere underneath all that hair .\nthe survivalist a standout at the 2015 tribeca film festival , stephen fingleton\u2019s debut feature is a terse portrait of life in a postapocalyptic wood . martin mccann is the title character , who lives alone and fends off all comers until two women ( mia goth and olwen fou\u00e9r\u00e9 ) turn up at his doorstep .\nin the 11th century , vikings , indians , and irish monks collide on the shores of north america in a historical epic adventure of exploration , personal glory , and religious dominance . abandoned by a western exploration party and stranded in the new world , two lone vikings wade through a grand primeval landscape , struggling for survival while still in the grip of their norse ways . an impressive diy epic ,\nsevered ways\nfeatures a frosty black - metal soundtrack , including burzum , morbid angel , judas priest and dimmu borgir .\nafterimage the polish director andrzej wajda , who died at 90 in october , grappled one last time with his country\u2019s history in his final film , a portrait of the painter wladyslaw strzeminski ( boguslaw linda ) , who pushed back against the postwar communist regime\u2019s mandates for art and sacrificed his career as a result .\ndaniel ellsberg released confidential pentagon documents that led to a shift in the public ' s opinion about the vietnam war . this is most interesting question this film presents : when one chooses to fight injustice , is it best to do so from inside the ranks of an unjust body , or should one buck the system completely , going outside the organization ? many people i ' ve encountered throughout my life have made the first argument , that one does more good inside an organization , attempting to change its operations from the inside out . ellsberg takes the opposite point because he admits that being a part of the military - industrial complex caused him alter his conception of justice so that he wasn ' t changing the organization but the organization was changing him . i find that fascinating . the rest of the film chronicles the fallout from ellsberg releasing the pentagon papers and the ensuing legal battles . ellsberg is the film ' s narrator , so we don ' t get to see much about his character except for cherry picked interviews that re - affirm ellsberg ' s conception of himself . i would have preferred a most objective take on the subject . overall , the thematic element is intriguing to me , and the film is a strong chronicle of a tumultuous time .\nunlocked in an espionage thriller from michael apted , noomi rapace plays a c . i . a . agent who is on the run and working to stop a terrorist attack in london . orlando bloom , michael douglas , toni collette and john malkovich are also in the film , but who knows whose side they\u2019re on ?\nthe pic opens with the publication of the papers and the resultant media storm , fbi manhunt and branding of ellsberg by henry kissinger as \u201cthe most dangerous man in america . \u201d the story then backtracks to follow the sequence of key events in ellsberg\u2019s life : the deaths of his mother and sister ( when his father fell asleep at the wheel ) ; his seminal doctoral thesis on decision theory ; his 1954 - 57 stint in the marines ( \u201cthe happiest time of my life\u201d ) ; and finally his position in the defense department under robert mcnamara .\nspider - man : homecoming no , tobey maguire isn\u2019t in this one , and neither is andrew garfield . \u201cspider - man : homecoming\u201d is a reboot of the series , starring tom holland \u2014 who played the role in \u201ccaptain america : civil war\u201d \u2014 as a young peter parker . marisa tomei plays aunt may , and robert downey jr . is iron man . sony caught flak for its hiring of a relative rookie , jon watts ( \u201ccop car\u201d ) , to direct , with critics saying that such opportunities are rarely accorded to women with comparable r\u00e9sum\u00e9s .\nmanifesto those who can\u2019t get enough of cate blanchett will find her here playing 13 roles . the words the characters recite are drawn from more than 50 manifestoes \u2014 most of them artistic declarations from the 20th century . the film was shown in installation form at the park avenue armory in december and january before heading to sundance .\nin transit a founding figure of the direct - cinema movement , albert maysles died in 2015 , shortly before this film\u2019s premiere . his last feature observes the passengers on amtrak\u2019s empire builder route , which connects chicago and the pacific northwest . mr . maysles directed with lynn true , nelson walker , ben wu and david usui .\na family man a cutthroat headhunter ( gerard butler ) who\u2019s competing with a colleague ( alison brie ) for a promotion finds his ambitions threatened when his son receives a cancer diagnosis . not to be confused with the brett ratner film \u201cthe family man , \u201d this drama also stars gretchen mol , willem dafoe and alfred molina .\nvincent - n - roxxy in an update of old noir themes , \u201cvincent - n - roxxy\u201d casts emile hirsch and zo\u00eb kravitz as a couple whom circumstances bring together and send on the lam . romance follows to some degree , but word from last year\u2019s tribeca film festival suggests that violence dominates . zoey deutch co - stars .\ni don\u2019t mean this to sound flippant , i really don\u2019t , and i know it\u2019s nothing to do with your fine article , but i\u2019d love it if reviewers would tell if something is a shaky camera film or not when they review or comment on a film . i love movies . new and old . but i shut off when i watch something handheld , because it doesn\u2019t allow me to focus on the beauty of the image . it\u2019s like i\u2019m watching a wall and it makes me bored very quickly . i can\u2019t be the only person like this , though i rarely hear criticism on this point . anyway , that\u2019s my wish . \ud83d\ude42 thanks for listening ."]}

( photo by michelle v lim photography )\nbut of course , it is a bond film . and it stars sean connery , who had vowed to \u2018never again\u2019 play agent 007 following the 1971 release of the tepidly received diamonds are forever . mcclory , however , cunningly had included connery as a consultant from the project\u2019s beginnings , and was eventually able to lure connery into the starring role .\ngiacomo campiotti , who recently helmed the english - lingo miniseries \u201cdoctor zhivago\u201d with keira knightley , shows he knows how to climb emotional heights in \u201cnever again like before . \u201d a gripping coming - of - ager about four boys and two girls who\u2019ve just graduated from high school , this italian - language mountain drama , with a cast of unknowns , sports a wholesomeness and uplifting [ \u2026 ]\nshipped quick . . . packaged great . . . just as described . . . thanks ! ! !\ngiacomo campiotti , who recently helmed the english - lingo miniseries\ndoctor zhivago\nwith keira knightley , shows he knows how to climb emotional heights in\nnever again like before .\na gripping coming - of - ager about four boys and two girls who ' ve just graduated from high school , this italian - language mountain drama sports a wholesomeness geared more to family auds than the jaded young .\nmcclory was successful in a subsequent copyright claim , and received two key items : production credit on the eon film adaptation of thunderball , as well as the right to produce a different film of the story once ten years had elapsed .\nfamily background of each is rapidly sketched , with noteworthy actors in supporting roles as parents . story then plunges deeper into their characters as they all end up taking a train to the dolomites , where they pitch camp in a remote cabin .\nit is the story of a group of eighteen year olds whose vacation in the wilderness will provide the chance for them to grow , as individuals and as a group , their teacher on life are the mountains . after high school graduation , all of them , including a sensitive and foolhardy handicapped boy , will leave for a trekking adventure in the mountains . here , in the middle of this beautiful but also harsh and rugged nature , is where the boys will begin taking responsibility for themselves as well as for others , they will start making decisions and not bend in front of the difficulties they will encounter . it will be the mountains that will make them change and help them grow : when they return to the city , they will not be the same as before .\nthe key player was producer kevin mcclory , who developed the plot for what was to become thunderball with fleming as well as writer jack whittingham . the story was abandoned , but then novelized by fleming , with no credit given to mcclory or whittingham .\ni never thought that schools like lsu and alabama would integrate ,\nhe can admit , aware that great performances by black athletes competing at those schools played a big part in their integration . yet , amidst the upheavals of the ' 60s , he also knew that doing his job wasn ' t just about coaching football . he learned to harness that anger at the criticism hurled his way from more militant quarters :\ni wasn ' t going to go out and hurt somebody or let one of my own get hurt to disprove that i was an uncle tom .\nrobinson proved his talents year in and year out , winning not just games and championships , but respect and admiration . he also helped change the face of his game in college and beyond , sending more than 200 players to the nfl , including super bowl mvp doug williams . the candor of never before , never again is as refreshing as it is revealing ; the story itself is pure inspiration . - - jeff silverman\nendorsed by espn betting journalist , david purdum . rudnitsky lost $ 10 , 000 betting like a fan . . . before learning the secrets of how to win like a pro .\nit should be said that kershner and \u201cindiana jones\u201d d . p . douglas slocombe share the most stylish vision the character had seen to date . the plot , which plays awfully close to the outline for \u201cthunderball , \u201d may be familiar ( but then , isn\u2019t that true of every bond movie ? ) , but \u201cnever\u201d serves up a great cast , including kim basinger as the most beautiful bond girl of all time , domino ; klaus maria brandauer as largo , whose villainy is matched only by his insecure jealousy ; and max von sydow making a brief appearance as blofeld , complete with trademark white cat .\ngiacomo campiotti , who recently helmed the english - lingo miniseries \u201cdoctor zhivago\u201d with keira knightley , shows he knows how to climb emotional heights in \u201cnever again like before . \u201d a gripping coming - of - ager about four boys and two girls who\u2019ve just graduated from high school , this italian - language mountain drama , with a cast of unknowns , sports a wholesomeness and uplifting message geared more to family auds than the jaded young . though overlooked on local release in mid - november , it has an unusual depth that could work better offshore , certainly for fests and tv .\nthat said , connery is , as always , endlessly charming ; the villainous one two - punch of max von sydow and klaus maria brandauer ( as spectre agents blofeld and maximillian largo , respectively ) is fabulously sinister with just the right touch of camp ; and kim basinger\u2019s character is compelling and gorgeous , if a bit underdeveloped .\nthe entire scenario may have been preposterous , but screenwriter lorenzo semple jr . ( credited alongside dick clement and ian la frenais ) chose to ground the character in reality . long before christopher nolan made the decision to treat batman \u201crealistically\u201d on the \u201cdark knight\u201d pictures , semple wrote bond as a scarred and aging action hero coping with the physical wear and tear that a career of saving the world entails .\nit also provides a fascinating alternative to the eon bond films , which at the time were in the heart of the roger moore era . perhaps it\u2019s connery\u2019s swagger , but never say never again is very much a 60s film that happens to take place in 1983 . at times , the cinematography produces a lush , classic connery - era aesthetic . at other times , the combination of underwhelming 80s vehicles , dated hairstyles , and stilted dialogue is more reminiscent of contemporary tv shows the a - team and magnum , p . i . than 007 classics like goldfinger or , yes , thunderball .\nneither of these words fully capture how great eddie robinson is . . . as a coach , father , or american . he is such a great role model for everyone .\nbut , like nearly everything in both hollywood and the fictional world of 007 , it\u2019s really about money . eon turned james bond into the most successful franchise of all time , and mcclory wanted a piece of it . after \u201cdiamonds are forever , \u201d sean connery publicly swore he would \u201cnever again\u201d play bond , but behind the scenes , he was evidently saying , \u201d if you pay me enough . \u201d\nfoliage\nis a duet comprised of multiple improvised scores . each score was derived from physical responses to anxiety ; uneven breath , shaking , and muscle tension . the dancers navigate these scores with deep attention to each other as well as the space they are dancing in .\nfoliage\nis an evolution of nicole\u2019s previous work ,\nbadgrass\n.\nof course , mcclory had it easy , effectively copying the eon formula in nearly all significant respects . minor details , like maurice binder\u2019s trademark gun - barrel / sexy - silhouette opening sequences or the fact that q is referred to as \u201calgernon\u201d during gadget - outfitting sessions , \u201cnever\u201d did without , but the format otherwise stuck relatively close to the model established over 13 previous eon outings .\na true story of a young girl who was sold as a sex slave . the book is a rare look inside the world of sex trafficking and into the soul of the abused .\n\u201cif you wanted someone to look up to , to be inspired by , you never had to look past that team . if you were someone like me , a weed who couldn\u2019t run out of sight without getting a wheeze and who was never going to achieve anything on a football field , supporting saints was the stuff that dreams were made of . we had it all over kids from other districts , because we had the saints .\nsomething not altogether different had happened once before with the rights to \u201ccasino royale , \u201d but when the producers of that film failed to convince connery , they spun the project off into the precarious realm of satire \u2013 tricky , considering how closely the 007 character treads the line of self - spoofery already . but mcclory got connery , and audiences in turn got a very rare treat indeed : a chance to see what a non - eon 007 movie might look like , as directed by \u201cthe empire strikes back\u2019s\u201d irwin kershner .\nnever again is a romantic comedy about falling in love despite your better judgment . an exterminator and jazz pianist in the noble model of gary cooper and other ' 40 ' s screen legends , christopher is having a sexual identity crisis . he hasn ' t been able to perform with the young women he ' s been dating , and is looking for sexual inspiration . grace , an administrator for mentors of new york , sends her final child off to college and then realizes that she hasn ' t tended to her own needs in a very long time . when christopher meets grace at a gay bar , her best friends admonish her that it ' s not a good idea to start a heterosexual relationship with a man you meet in a gay bar . through human insecurities and foibles , and the refreshing reminder that the boomer generation is still very much sexually viable , christopher and grace defy the odds of it never happening again . in a real , meaningful and adult fashion , they fall in love .\ni finished this book nine years ago , but i can still recall how well put together this book was . reading this book made you want to go to a grambling football game as well as meet eddie robinson and his wife . i finished this book sixth months after robinson passed away . so it was a forgone conclusion that no matter how much i wanted to meet him after reading this book , it was not going to happen . there will never be another eddie robinson at grambling in my lifetime or many other lifetimes . he was super old school but he was able to adapt and put with every generation he coached at grambling . rest in peace mr . eddie robinson ( 1919 - 2007 ) .\ntech work is unobtrusive and always in service of the story . duccio cimatti\u2019s camera lets the scenery take center stage in crisp bright colors , which turn dark and menacing as the drama develops . editing concisely packs in a great deal .\nwe build a world . we have a place to start and no other requirements . the performance will express our continued improvisational experimentation . it will explore the relationships that can be instinctively created between light , movement , set , and sound . the work invites viewer and performer to engage in a unique , performance - specific experience that will never happen in quite the same way again . it invites us to eliminate the tight grip of expectation and replace it with freedom , risk , and communication . see you on the other side . . . ( photo by sam polcer )\nbut the most important bit of casting , of course , was connery , and \u201cnever\u201d drives home what a superior bond he was . though 52 at the time of filming , he was almost three years younger than roger moore and appeared tougher than he had in any of the previous adventures .\nconnery had already come back once before for \u201cdiamonds , \u201d and his salary on that film \u2013 \u00a31 . 25 million plus a share of the profits that brought his total to an estimated $ 6 million \u2013 made him the highest paid actor of his time\u2026 until mcclory and his team came calling to make an off - canon bond movie based on the idea fleming had borrowed to make \u201cthunderball\u201d ( reportedly offering $ 5 million and points ) .\n\u201cas it happened , the bloke who got chook had also been taunting pop all game , calling him an old man because of his baldness . so pop shook the cobwebs out of chook\u2019s head and they came up with a plan to get square . \u2018listen to me , \u2019 clay said . \u2018what i want you to do is run up too fast on this bastard , leave a nice big gap that he won\u2019t be able to resist running into , and when he does , i\u2019ll be waiting for him . \u2019 chook left the gap , the bloke fell for the trick and poppa cleaned him up something shocking , as only poppa could do . as the fellow was carried off on a stretcher , pop grinned at him and said , \u2018not bad for an old man , eh ? \u2019 chook said he would have killed for brian clay after that . quite literally , killed for him . those men had a phenomenal ability to stick together . \u201d\nin\ntruss\n, performer emily climer exposes the extremes of acting as both the director and the one being directed in an improvised dance . by heightening attention to these two states , she attempts to offer a glimpse into the simultaneous agency and vulnerability of the improvising body . ( photo by maria baranova - suzuki )\nas evidenced in his warm feature debut \u201clike two crocodiles , \u201d campiotti has absorbed a canny blend of american and euro filmmaking styles . here the human drama is set amid picture - perfect italian scenery and carefully built to white - knuckle tension . after an emotional pay - off , the story eases back to a thoughtful conclusion .\no be a member of the red - and - white legion in the golden years was a special thing . as one such fan , this writer can report that we counted on our team to win every time they played , and rarely were we disappointed . while it is true we never enjoyed the elation experienced by followers of an underdog side that flukes a victory against expectations , not one of us would have swapped places with fans of another team . and if we were subjected to vitriolic abuse when we travelled to away games at cumberland oval or belmore oval or pratten park , because rival fans despised us for being the tallest of poppies , well , that was a price we gladly paid .\nthe st george district was a diverse one , with locales ranging from salubrious suburbs such as blakehurst , kyle bay and gymea to working - class tempe , allawah and kogarah ; the fans came from many walks of life . among those who attended saints\u2019 fixtures at kogarah , the scg or other clubs\u2019 suburban ovals were tv star chuck faulkner , labor senator doug mcclelland , future liberal prime minister john howard , and the shaven - headed neo - nazi ross \u2018the skull\u2019 may . in 1964 , graham richardson , who became one of australian politics\u2019 most powerful men , was a skinny , asthmatic kogarah kid . \u201cif you grew up in kogarah in the 50s and 60s , you followed st george , \u201d the man known as richo remembers .\ngasnier , running gloriously , crossed for three of them . for one man in a striped shirt near me , the excitement \u2014 or , if he was a newtown fan , the embarrassment \u2014 was all too much and he slumped from his seat . the attention of a st john ambulance zambuck , sitting on his wooden box of medical supplies on the sideline , had to be attracted and he revived the fallen fan . the moment the full - time whistle blew , as was my and my mates\u2019 kogarah custom , we invaded the field , heading first to try to grab one of the four black - and - white striped cardboard corner posts , then , thwarted as usual by faster kids , we swamped our heroes , autograph books and biros extended .\nan interactive - performance - experiment writes a love letter to an insta - tweet - chat and patrick ferreri / indecisiveproductions bring you their latest work ,\nqualified context\n. combining text and movement with audience subversion and more surprises than anyone intended , you sing , laugh , dance , and re - learn a thing or two as they hide from reality in plain sight .

\u201d we\u2019d heckle at the vanquished souths fans , even though , it must be confessed , we wisely withheld our retorts until we could hurl them from the safety of our departing trains .\nfor home games at kogarah , we were on much surer ground . one match in 1964 , when we downed newtown 33\u20139 , remains vividly in my memory . it epitomises , for me , the cock - a - hoop , carnival atmosphere that suffused jubilee oval in the winning years . a day at jubilee was very different from one at the sydney cricket ground , saints\u2019 home away from home . you dressed up to go to the cricket ground , and were tense and nervous because , being the match of the day , the opposition would be strong and the chances of defeat greater .\nat aptly named jubilee oval , our opponents were the lowlier teams and we looked forward to , and usually got , cricket scores against them . accordingly , we dressed casually , in happy - go - lucky jeans , bright shirts and pullovers , or football guernseys , the dragons\u2019 or our school\u2019s . on our heads would be the ubiquitous red - and - white beanie with the pompom on top . this day , against newtown , a cool , clear july day , st george , and gasnier in particular , took the bluebags apart . there was no need for grinding forward play . the ball went to the backs from the opening blast of col pearce\u2019s whistle .\n\u201cmay i have your autograph , mr provan \u2026 mr gasnier \u2026 mr clay , \u201d we\u2019d politely shout . unlike some modern stars who ignore or abuse young fans , or , even worse , feign a hand injury to avoid giving autographs , i remember the dragons of my youth remaining on the field until the last child\u2019s book was signed .\nanother bonus of following st george in those years was that we had the chance to see and meet rugby league\u2019s finest around our district . in those days , because of residential qualification rules , players had to reside in the area they represented . they lived there , shopped there , relaxed there , worked there . so it was a regular treat to cross paths with john raper in a local shop , norm provan at your school speech night or in his furniture store at rockdale , reg gasnier playing golf at beverley park , brian clay at the traffic lights in his truck , or , if your stove broke down , bill wilson of st george ranges might be despatched to repair it . if you attended carlton south primary school , you would be taught by exciting saints back johnny stathers .\nthe st george stars were part of their community . my fellow supporters all , like me , kept an autograph book and scrapbooks where our heroes\u2019 signatures would appear not once but many times . and among us , local sightings of saints men would be noted .\nian walsh became immediately aware of the responsibility he carried being a st george player : \u201cwe had to keep giving our very best . we knew we had the whole district behind us , counting on us , and that was very special . you could feel the support there and that was a wonderful feeling . i could sense it at the games , just walking around the district , in any pub in the area . the people were proud of us . \u201d\n\u201cbill mcwilliam was the golf pro at beverley park golf club , down behind the leagues club , and every grand final day , at 5am , he\u2019d load his ute with big st george signs and take half - a - dozen of us kids out to the cricket ground and we\u2019d decorate the noble stand . after we\u2019d finished hanging the banners , the groundsmen would come to throw us out , but we\u2019d hide in the toilets , anywhere , until they\u2019d gone , then take our place in the front row of the grandstand in time to watch all three grades .\n\u201ci learned plenty about life from st george . i learned how to win . they strained so hard to come out on top . raper was the best example , but langlands is another . they would put in an extra effort when they were completely buggered at the end of a game , when the other side were dropping . saints had the heart to keep picking themselves up . they hated to lose . it was foreign and awful to them . you saw how angry they were on the rare occasions when they were beaten . another thing i learned from them that i\u2019ve tried to practise all my life is loyalty . chook raper told me how once in a game against newtown he was flattened by a bigger opponent and pop clay came over and said , \u2018come on , get up ! you can\u2019t let these blokes see you hurt . get up , and get up now ! \u2019 chook genuinely couldn\u2019t . he was next to unconscious , but pop pulled him to his feet .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nstory of two men who paddled and portaged from montreal to the bering sea , across canada and alaska , following the historic fur trade route .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nexplore popular sci - fi movies and tv shows available to stream with prime video .\nfour boys and two girls who have just graduated from high school vacation together in the heart - stopping dolomite mountains . on a dramatic climbing expedition up a mystic peak , they . . . see more \u00bb\nfour boys and two girls who have just graduated from high school vacation together in the heart - stopping dolomite mountains . on a dramatic climbing expedition up a mystic peak , they encounter a tragedy that will change each of them forever . written by anonymous\noriginally , this song was meant to be sung by johnny mathis during the fantasy montage , but after he recorded it , jim henson decided it would be funnier if miss piggy sang it herself .\njohnny mathis did eventually sing it in the 1979 special the muppets go hollywood , and miss piggy planned on singing it in episode 418 of the muppet show with rowlf on the piano , but she sabotaged the performance to sing with christopher reeve . the extended version of the muppet movie shown in the uk featured a different instrumental track from the original version .\ntelevision specials : hey cinderella !

layer flexible packaging film wherein one of the layers has a substantially lower percentage of elongation than a second layer of the film and wherein the layer with the lower elongation carries a line of severance that was formed therein prior to the two layers being joined together . particularly effective results are obtained when the layer of highest elongation has a percentage of elongation no less than about twice that of the layer having the line of severance ; for the purposes of this invention , percentage of elongation is that measured in the direction perpendicular to the line of severence and may be either the machine or cross direction of the materials depending upon the orientation of the line of severance relative to the material . the line of severance includes cut lines extending through the one layer so that there is a very thin separation between the two portions of the layer on opposite sides of the line of severance to produce a thin unsupported section of the second layer that ruptures under specified conditions of use . the novel fihns thusly formed can be converted into containers that , after being filled with a commodity , may be opened by exerting force on the commodity so that the commodity can exert pressure on the thin section of container wall underlying the line of severance so as to cause rupture thereof to form an opening for the escape of the commodity packaged in the container . while this invention has been described with reference to several specific embodiments for the purpose of illustration , it is to be understood that it is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the exemplary embodiments , as well as other embodiments , which do not constitute a departure from the scope and spirit of this invention .\na 17 -

up roll . at this point , a web of extruded polyethylene , approximately 2 % mils thick , was also led between the nip of the chill roll and the back - up roll and joined to the coated web of polyethylene terephthalate . the web of polyethylene was extruded from a suitable extruder , cooled to a film -

how do studies of particular films relate to more theoretical studies of the medium as such ? and what about philosophy in film , a popular mode of philosophic thinking about film ? is there a unified model that can be employed to characterize this newly vitalized domain of philosophic inquiry ?\nbut even though the film didn\u2019t knock my proverbial socks off in a horror - related way , it\u2019s actually not bad . . . as long as you\u2019re not expecting to be scared . spike is a thoughtful , well - acted reprisal of the beauty and the beast legend , but with a modern and weird twist to it .\nlee pace and catinca untaru in one of the swashbuckling scenes in \u0093the fall , \u0094 a film with two parallel stories .\nfreeland , cynthia a . , and thomas e . wartenberg , 1995 . philosophy and film , new york : routledge .\nkrakauer , siegfried , 1960 . theory of film : the redemption of physical reality , new york : oxford university press .\nlitch , mary , and amy d . karofsky , philosophy through film , 3rd edition , abingdon , uk : routledge .\nlivingston , paisley , 2009 . cinema , philosophy , bergman : on film as philosophy , oxford : oxford university press .\nufc primetime : georges st . pierre vs bj penn ( spike ) television series that followed bj penn and georges st . pierre as they trained for their fight against each other . jan 2009 on big island .\nmallett and henderson are represented by paul bresnick literary agency , llc , new york , and for film by united talent agency .\nallen , richard , and murray smith ( eds . ) , 1997 . film theory and philosophy , oxford : clarendon press .\ncarel , havi , and greg tuck , 2011 . new takes in film - philosophy , basingstoke , uk : palgrave macmillan .\ncurrie , gregory , 1995 . image and mind : film , philosophy , and cognitive science , cambridge : cambridge university press .\n\u201cwe started implementing a corrective action plan in september that will ensure more accurate reporting of the growing and diverse film industry in our state , \u201d says illinois film office spokeswoman jacquelyn reineke . \u201cthe diversity standard we employ sets illinois\u2019 film program apart from the rest of the country , and we continue to look for new ways to reach out and utilize the talents of minority vendors . \u201d\nillinois has doled out more than $ 330 million in tax credits to 1 , 410 productions that spent more than $ 1 . 1 billion in the state since 2008 , state records show . the largest credit \u2014 $ 11 . 5 million \u2014 went to the company that produced the sci - fi film \u201cdivergent . \u201d the smallest \u2014 $ 4 , 817 \u2014 went to northfield\u2019s towers productions for a tv pilot called \u201cearth uncensored . \u201d\nspike lee will co - write and direct\ntime traveler ,\na feature adaptation of a memoir by ronald mallett , one of the nation ' s first african - americans to earn a ph . d in theoretical physics .\nyou specifically wanted the film to hurt koch , right ?

de - sac sees him returning to the ideas of the landscape delicately addressed in the former of the two films ; where characters are put under huge psychological strain through being stuck in each other\u2019s company . whereas knife in the water had a more definitive human hand in the desertion from society , cul -

than - death fate .\npolanski usually wrote his own screenplays or at least collaborated on them . that was the case on his second film in england , cul - de - sac , another story about people trapped in doomed relationships . his next effort , the fearless vampire killers , or pardon me but your teeth are in my neck , was a comic vampire film with dark overtones . it failed to make much of an impact .\nthe brainchild of roman polanski and longtime collaborator gerard brach ( the tenant , the fearless vampire killers , tess , frantic ) cul - de - sac represents the specific cinematic aesthetics , sensibilities , and humor of the pair . \u201cwhen we were writing this script , we simply wanted to create a movie that would reflect our taste in cinema , \u201d said polanski to biographer , denis meikle , stressing a point difficult to contest . similar in tone to many of polanski\u2019s short films , cul -

de - sac\nis probably the most ' polanski - ish ' film the director has made . every sensibility of the famed auteur is on display here . from the genre bending , to the mental games of imposition , to the stylish cinematography , to the loopy performances .\ncul - de - sac\nalso delights in being non - comformative and always hiding it ' s true intentions . after all , this is more of an abstract art film than a piece of narrative cinema ( maybe the most peculiar and obscure film he ' s made ) . what the film means seems to be a question polanski is not concerned with . he once said\nit ' s just a film . . .\n. if that ' s the case , why does it feel so decided and precise ? like everything we are meant to see is specially chosen ? polanski seems to suggest that his film is without a specific intent , which is odd . if that is what he really meant , then why did he fight for so long to get it made ? curious , indeed . whether\ncul - de - sac\nis utterly worthless , or , like i believe , tantalizingly alive inside it ' s mental threesome unreality , there is no denying it ' s a one of a kind motion picture .\ni had heard very little praise surrounding polanski ' s cul - de - sac . given the amount of discourse generated around his most lauded films ( and his personal life ) this film was something of a discovery for me . this is a harrowing film . the brutal environment of an isolated castle and the depravity that goes on inside between our\nheroes\n( a married couple and a gangster on the run ) makes this film feel much longer than it ' s nearly two - hour run time .\nroman polanski remains a fascinating filmmaker to this day . alongside andrej wajda and jerzy skolimowski , polanski came to the fore in the late 1950s in poland . the bfi in london are screening all of polanski\u2019s films during january and february 2013 and throughout january , essays on separate films will be released here on flickering myth in the hope that you too can join us in reflecting on polanski\u2019s diverse and ever -

- all put awhirl with polanski ' s deadly , dark , internal logic . cul - de - sac also shows the influence of the theater of the absurd on polanski ' s work . gags , repetitions of nonsensical phrases , silly musical motifs , and unexplained plot devices that seem drawn either camp horror films , a body that doesn ' t seem to want to get buried . . . if this is a thriller , as it sometimes called , then , while the spirit of hitchcock is here , so is that of ionesco and beckett .\nthe following film notes were prepared for the new york state writers institute by kevin jack hagopian , senior lecturer in media studies at pennsylvania state university : it is the aftermath of a crime gone wrong . a car drones slowly along a road on some forgotten moor . sand and water slide by endlessly . two low - rent criminals are escaping from a caper gone horribly wrong . they ' ve both been shot . one of them , albert , is dying , and the other , richard , is trying to shake off his bullet wound . richard leaves the car , stumbling off in search of - - what ? cul - de - sac was roman polanski ' s third feature film , following knife in the water and repulsion , like all his early work , caused consternation for its carefree attitude toward plot and the mayhem it seemed to glory in . both repulsion and cul - de - sac were refused screenings at the cannes film festival , but regardless , the word was out by 1966 that polanski was one of cinema ' s most articulate and quizzical new voices .\n, chosen by fipresci as the best film of the year and awarded at the berlin film festival for best directing .\nif audiences can be kept away from [ polanski\u2019s ] very original work , we should all stop babbling about the future of young film - makers . there is no future , and there is no audience\u2026 if films like masculine feminine , cul - de - sac , and fahrenheit 451 can be driven off the screen by two or three daily reviewers , perhaps by no more than one , where is the market for so - called personal , poetic cinema ? ( 8 )\nhi richard that ' s quite an introduction to polanski ! most of the people i know find both\ncul - de - sac\nand\nrepulsion\nto be interesting , but tough going ( i think that ' s polite for\nboring\n) . me , i think they are among his best efforts . i only got to see polanski ' s short films when i purchased the criterion collection dvd for\nrepulsion\nand found it interesting how ( at least in two men & a wardrobe , mammals , and the fat and the lean ) polanski ' s fascination / obsession with samuel beckett and theater of the absurd brings him to the recurring motiffs of oddball couplings , barren landscapes , and , as you noted , ambiguous narratives . if you ever get around to wanting to see this film again , the remastered\ncul - de - sac\nis really gorgeous .\nit ' s important to place cul - de - sac in time and place in polanski ' s career . after the success of his polish film knife in the water , roman goes to england and is in the middle of a three - film run in three years . in 1965 , he did the surprisingly incredible suspense film repulsion and after this film he ' ll go on to do the wonderfully campy take on the hammer horror film the fearless vampire killers . in between he films a script that he wrote with gerard brach . it ' s hard for me to know how to classify the film since it seems to fall within multiple genres - it ' s arty , it ' s certainly a black comedy , but it seems to ultimately sit within the confines of a suspense plot .\nyet even the briefest peep at\nbitter moon ,\nmr . polanski ' s 13th movie , made it clear that the 57 - year - old polish - born director is once again using psychological tension in extremis as raw material . it is a subject he knows from his own turbulent life , and one that has served him well in his most acclaimed films , from\nknife in the water\n( 1962 ) and\nrepulsion\n( 1965 ) to\ncul - de - sac\n( 1966 ) and\nchinatown\n( 1974 ) .\ndialogue on film : roman polanski ,\nin american film ( washington , d . c . ) , august 1974 .\n( 1966 ) continued to explore his characteristic motifs : mania and omnipresent fear ; imprisonment and 3 - character conflict . his hollywood debut in 1968 was\nwhen originally picked - up for american distribution by filmways , cul - de - sac carried the advertising tagline , \u201csometimes there\u2019s nothing left to do but laugh ! \u201d , which really is an apt warning for anyone venturing to watch this vicious comedic gem . polanski\u2019s comedy is of the \u201cgnashing of the teeth\u201d variety and derives most of its devilish humour from the physical and psychological abuse that the characters inflict on one another . most of the time the recipient of this abuse is george , played by donald pleasence in a repugnantly brilliant performance . whether he is being forced to cross - dress or being buried alive alongside a corpse , george offers little resistance and keeps returning for an additional helping . his desperate need for love and acceptance from his victimisers , dickie and teresa , has trapped him in an emotional cul - de - sac from which he cannot escape .\nan odd mix of the plays of samuel beckett and harold pinter and such hard - edged humphrey bogart hostage thrillers as the petrified forest ( archie mayo , 1936 ) , key largo ( john huston , 1948 ) , and the desperate hours ( william wyler , 1955 ) , cul - de - sac is best described by polanski scholar ivan butler who declared the film to be the \u201cgrimmest of comedies , most hilarious of tragedies\u201d ( 4 ) . the film harks back to polanski\u2019s award - winning short film two men and a wardrobe ( 1958 ) , in that it paints a portrait of a sadistic world where the destitute , feeble , and maladjusted members of society are victimised by the masses for their perceived weaknesses and inability to conform . however , whereas the two chaplin - esque vagabonds of two men and a wardrobe are able to return with their bulky wardrobe dresser to the waters from which they emerged , the characters of cul - de - sac cannot seek refuge because they are hopelessly immersed in a desolate wasteland that t . s . eliot could have called home .\nentretien avec roman polanski ,\nwith a . de baecque and t . jousse , in cahiers du cin\u00e9ma , may 1992 .\ntudo \u00e9 t\u00e3o ins\u00f3lito nesta primeira incurs\u00e3o de roman polanski pelo terreno da com\u00e9dia que n\u00e3o d\u00e1 para cobrar l\u00f3gica de fatos e dos personagens . o diretor parece imbu\u00eddo do esp\u00edrito livre que tomava o cinema europeu na \u00e9poca e n\u00e3o explica muita coisa , deixando ainda mais nonsense o encontro entre dois g\u00e2ngsters em fuga e um casal que mora num pal\u00e1cio \u00e0 beira -

set tension gave cul - de - sac its constant jolts of electricity , and it remains polanski ' s most unclassifiable and unpredictable film , especially when the castle is invaded by george ' s friends in place of the expected katelbach and richard has to pretend to be a surly manservant to avoid provoking suspicion . at the time , absurdist black comedy reigned supreme in the theatre , with beckett , harold pinter and eugene ionesco well established and joe orton recently emerged , but few british film - makers had even tried to pull off anything similar before polanski showed them the way .\ndickie and albie , gangsters wounded during a botched \u201cjob\u201d of an undisclosed nature , take refuge at the secluded retreat of retired businessman george , and his much younger wife , teresa . seeking nothing but a place to hide while awaiting rescue by the mysterious , mr . katelbach , the fugitive pair hold the newlyweds hostage , setting off a bizarre chain of power struggles , game - playing , and revelatory disclosures which ultimately lead each character to their personal cul - de - sac .\ncul - de - sac ( 1966 ) had echoes of waiting for godot , but was more directly influenced by harold pinter , not only in the casting of donald pleasence , who had triumphed in pinter ' s the caretaker a few years previously , but also in the portrayal of sexual humiliation and in the relationship of the two gangsters . however , the depiction of a married couple ' s sexual tensions that erupt into violence when an outsider intrudes on their world was a favourite theme developed in the polanski - brach screenplays , one which the polish director had already dealt with in his first feature , a knife in the water ( 1962 ) .\nyeah i keep hearing that about sand pebbles so i think i\u2019m gonna skip it . i tend to be a completist but life\u2019s too short and i want to move onto 1967 already . i however want to give alfie a chance . it looks fresher than the other 4 bp nominees and i\u2019m a caine fan , so i wouldn\u2019t like to pass it . i think i\u2019m watching that , resnais\u2019 \u201cthe war is over\u201d and polanski\u2019s \u201ccul -

century castle that serves as the fortress / prison in cul - de - sac . situated high atop a craggy hill on the british peninsula of holy island , a major plot point has it that the access road to the castle is obliterated twice daily by high tides ( a similar device that was used to good effect in the 2012 daniel radcliffe thriller , the woman in black ) .\ndokumentation : polanski und skolimowski : das absurde im film , zurich , 1985 .\nfilm historian and theoretician , the author of multi -

de - sac is roman polanski\u2019s most existential film . its bored alienated characters dread the impending doom they seem to bring onto themselves . polanski\u2019s previous film repulsion was more or less as bleak and hopeless , but it was received far more positively by audiences and critics , probably because they knew what to make of it . repulsion greatly transcended the horror tale polanski was paid to deliver while still being recognizable enough as a genre entry to be accepted by a wide audience . cul - de - sac is arguably polanski\u2019s most challenging movie because it\u2019s such an odd mix of comedy , drama , thriller , suspense , and horror . its primary tactic seems to be draining the signature elements of each genre , and thus the film is generally inert as everything slowly boils beneath the surface . it\u2019s closest to black comedy , but most of the potential the laughs , come from the characters refusing to address the situation and generally hoping it will simply correct itself even though they obviously know it\u2019ll never happen . the audience is not only never instructed whether to join the fun or recoil , chuckle or be repulsed , but polanski seems to dare us to laugh at shootings , a burial , and all sorts of humiliations so we\u2019ll see ourselves for the self - satisfying hypocrites we are . regardless of the style of film he\u2019s making , to roman polanski life is always a cruel comedy .\nit has been 30 years since i first saw this film , yet it still rates as one of my all time favourites . forget about special effects and daredevil stunts - you won ' t see either of those in cul - de - sac . it ' s a strange film which highlights the devastating effect that unexpected events can have on human relationships . at first glance it ' s a black comedy , but running throughout the film are dark menacing undercurrents which maintain the attention of the audience . all of the leading acters are good , but donald pleasance , as the bumbling , insecure host to his unwelcome guests is outstanding . in my opinion his best performance ever . polanski ' s quirky direction has never been bettered , and the exterior photography is spectacular . brilliant .\nlandscape of a mind : interview with roman polanski ,\nwith michel delahaye and jean -

sac\u2019 ( 1966 ) , \u2018dance of the vampires\u2019 ( 1967 ) , \u2018rosemary\u2019s baby\u2019 ( 1968 ) , \u2018macbeth\u2019 ( 1971 ) , \u2018chinatown\u2019 ( 1974 ) , \u2018the tenant\u2019 ( 1976 ) , \u2018pirates\u2019 ( 1986 ) , \u2018bitter moon\u2019 ( 1992 ) , \u2018the ninth gate\u2019 ( 1999 ) . the greatest actors such as catherine deneuve , jacqueline bisset , mia farrow , jack nicholson , harrison ford , ben kingsley , emmanuelle seigner , johnny depp , jodie foster , kate wintslet and christoph waltz have played in his films . master of pastiche and black humour , sophisticated narration ; in an original way he talks about cruelty , sex and insanity . for the film pianist\u2019 ( 2002 ) awarded the palme d\u201dor in cannes and oscar for best direction .\none of the biggest thrills to be had in watching cul - de - sac is to once again see a motion picture that demands attentiveness . the economics of filmmaking today ( to be profitable , movies have to appeal to as broad a demographic as possible ) has resulted in an uptrend in cinematic obviousness . movies today can\u2019t afford to be misunderstood . everything is spelled - out , underlined , and explained with such pedantic literalness , a kind of passive , dull - wittedness has replaced active engagement on the part of the moviegoing experience .\npolanski identifies with self - loathing george , but this isn\u2019t the usual tale of him hulking up , reasserting his masculinity , and overcome the odds by defeating the big bully . some of that may be involved , but the focus is on the world colluding to drive george insane . he seems to act more like a normal man once his ulcer - ridden stomach is forced to allow some moonshine to eat away at it . but that only exemplifies the bizarre humor of cul - de - sac , a film where the main character is so far gone a drug has the reverse effect , bringing him back \u201cinside the box\u201d .\nmccarty , john , the modern horror film , secaucus , new jersey , 1990 .\n( 1933\u2013 ) polish director and actor . he established his reputation with the short film\nmccarty , john , the modern horror film , secaucus , new jersey , 1990 .\nat the same time , brach and polanski wrote the script for when katelbach comes ( later retitled cul - de - sac ) , for which they were unable to get financial backing until three years later , after the international success of repulsion ( 1965 ) . the first of four films polanski shot in england , repulsion was a psychological drama of the mental breakdown of a young woman ( catherine deneuve ) culminating in murder . according to brach , her problem derived from her fear of sexuality or sexual disgust , a strong element in the brach - polanski films .\nreturning to the alienating landscapes and seascapes that endowed knife in the water with a paradoxically exposed claustrophobia , cul - de - sac features perhaps roman polanski\u2019s most immaculately realized black - and - white palette . he and gilbert taylor create a surreal world of flickering grayscale , the nuance of which is marvelously enhanced by criterion\u2019s 1080p transfer . the beach scenes probably fair the best due to the aforementioned flatness of the harsh lights atop the pitch black of the distance ; the planate film grain seems to coruscate with desperation . the uncompressed audio is mixed smartly , with the creepily beach - house farfisa organ music always seeming one or two volume knobs twists too loud .\ntired , wounded , and lost . cul - de - sac showcases suffocating claustrophobia and the deterioration of the human mentality . as the characters are further forced to challenge and confront one another , the greater the toll on their sanity , relationship dynamics , and the potential for fatality . the film plays itself out with a loose structure , creating an air of unpredictability and suspense without having to necessarily endure through contrived roads to achieve synonymous results . polanski captures a vibe that recalls the visual cues of michelangelo antonioni\u2019s l\u2019avventura and blends it with the punishing cruelty that is similar to some of godard\u2019s films . though i found some of its pacing to be stretched and certain\u2026\nwhen researching knife in the water , it was clear that his exploration into social issues was a rare theme he tackled in his debut , but i do believe that cul - de - sac manages to touch upon some basic assumptions between the elitist , ignorant upper - class against the rough , hyper - masculine working class . dickie manages to mock george tremendously to teresa\u2019s amusement and , only in the final moments does george manage to re - affirm himself and protect his wife . of course , it\u2019s too late then , and the guilt , shame and anger at his own initial inaction combined with the self - destructing nature of his flawed attempt at protection ( destroying the only way of escape ; giving dickie an opportunity to use the tommy - gun ) leads to only further upset . knife in the water ended somewhat ambiguously as characters continued their life with no clear change \u2013 whilst cul - de - sac finishes as george , akin to gollum in the hobbit , perched atop of the rock , crying out about his own fate . he has lost the love he adored \u2013 not through the actions of others \u2013 but through his own inaction .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nthomson , david , a biographical dictionary of film , alfred a . knopf , 1994 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 3 march , 1993 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 27 october , 2000 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 6 december , 2001 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 5 october , 2006 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 6 june , 2008 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 9 december , 2011 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 11th october , 2013 .\ngranted the degree of the lodz film school doctor honoris causa on 8th june , 2017 .\ns success , polanski enjoyed a reputation as one of the most interesting contemporary film directors .\ndirector and screenwriter . in the years 1946 - 49 , studied at cracow film arts academy ; also finished the film foundation course ( 1946 ) . the fiction film \u2018the village mill\u2019 ( 1951 ) was his debut . the author of many distinguished literary adaptations : \u2018mother joan of the angels\u2019 based on jaros\u0142aw iwaszkiewicz\u2019 short story ( 1960 ; palme d\u2019argent at iff in cannes ) , \u2018pharoah\u2019 based on boles\u0142aw prus\u2019 novel ( 1965 ) , \u2018the inn\u2019 based on julian stryjkowski\u2019s novel ( 1982 ) . as a film director he was fascinated by juxtaposing outbursts of mass hysteria with rationalism . this motif is present in almost all of his film . he was a consummate draughtsman of the complexity of human nature . since 1955 , head of the \u2018kadr\u2019 film studio . one of the co - founders and the first chairman of the polish film - makers society ( 1966 - 78 ) , in the 80s \u2013 lecturer at the lodz film school .\nwith new releases from the criterion collection , the ones i look forward to the most aren ' t always the major works or world cinema or the important independent releases . the most intriguing are usually the lesser - known works of well - respected directors . when i go down my list of directors that are masters of the craft ( meaning that they have control of all aspects from script to acting to filming ) - one name that will always appear is roman polanski . the man has given us classics in multiple decades : rosemary ' s baby in the ' 60s , chinatown in the ' 70s and the pianist in the ' 00s . the most recent criterion collection release is his 1966 film , cul - de - sac . i was excited to see this on the release lists because it ' s on of the few polanski films i had never seen - barely even knew about it .\npolanski followed this with the dark psycho - sexual film bitter moon ( 1992 ) , followed by a film of the acclaimed play death and the maiden ( 1994 ) starring sigourney weaver .\nfounded in 1999 , senses of cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional , high quality film - related content on the internet .\nsarris , andrew , the st . james film directors encyclopedia , visible ink press , 1998 .\nin a direct parallel with the ghost ( titled the ghost writer on its us release ) , the family are isolated , cut off from the outside world as the phone line is disconnected . the marshy landscape and surrounding water combined with an upper - class elitism of the married couple , again connect with the pierce brosnan / ewan mcgregor thriller . unlike the ghost , though both films have an interest in the role of a powerful female , cul - de - sac has a clear comedic edge \u2013 mocking the childish weakness of donald pleasance against the \u201clan - dan gangster\u201d of lionel stander , who carries a certain alan sugar - like charm .\ncul - de - sac is polanski at his best early form , running up to the film that capped the first half of his career , 1968 ' s rosemary ' s baby . polanski was a survivor of the holocaust , and for him , mortal violence has been a fact of his life , not its exception ; from his youth , he has been an unwilling voyeur of some of humanity ' s most unthinkable acts . barbara learning has said that for polanski , the subject of violence is an obsession , as it certainly was for other directors of his generation . but not the doing of violence , rather , the watching of violence . polanski ' s sensibility in cul - de - sac is that of a child who has stumbled upon very adult goings - on , and is watching them through a keyhole , unknown to the preoccupied grown - ups . the child doesn ' t exactly understand what he sees , but he watches with analytical interest , each strange act receiving the same careful attention . the horrific events of august , 1969 , in which polanski ' s pregnant wife , actress sharon tate , and three others were killed in an orgy of violence by charles manson and his followers , did not slake polanski\u2019s fascination with violence observed . rather , it seemed to confirm that his destiny was to be simultaneously a victim and a chronicler of the evil that men do .\nthe film is an interesting peek inside the mind of polanski . he ' s working through themes that we will see from him for decades to come . he loves to isolate characters in order to explore deeper emotions . in the pianist , that isolation becomes a fight for survival . here it ' s an artificial isolation that only lasts while the tide is in . it ' s beautifully shot in b & w , which is interesting because the one thing i take from his later films like fearless vampire killers is the vivid colors and complete control of the color pallette . the film is ultimately not as satisfying as i would have hoped . the gangster plot is mere window dressing . and the marriage and infidelity plot doesn ' t seem to be the ultimate cause of the resolution of the story . maybe that ' s really why the film has such an evocative title - cul - de - sac - is it all just a fancy name for a dead end ?\ngiven his rape charge and also the vicious slaying of his pregnant wife sharon tate by members of charles manson\u2019s \u201cfamily\u201d in 1969 , polanski has caused great dissension between film scholars , who are divided on whether or not the director\u2019s dark films should be judged independently from his personal life . these events are so indelible in the public\u2019s consciousness that it is hard to remember a time when polanski\u2019s name was not associated with such sordid events . however , even before these tragedies , polanski was not a universally loved figure in cinema . unlike the cuddly , family - friendly hitchcock , who every week on his television program alfred hitchcock presents \u201cbrought murder back into the home , where it belongs\u201d ( 2 ) , polanski was seen as a sadist , who , in the opinion of rosemary\u2019s baby \u2018s star john cassavetes , was someone \u201cobsessed by the bloody and gruesome , behaving like some kid in a candy store\u201d ( 3 ) . never was this notion more evident than in the reaction to polanski\u2019s 1966 black comedy cul - de - sac .\ni shall be returning the italian blu - ray version of cul - de - sac . yes , it ' s sharper than my standard dvd copy ( anchor bay ) but several scenes in the film are strangely significantly darker in blu - ray . one of the interior scenes changes from light to dark and back again within a minute . the night scenes on the beach are particularly murky on blu - ray but , again , perfectly clear on my standard dvd . in addition , the blu - ray offers only stereo sound in english while the standard version offers 5 . 1 . what a pity - this has been one of my favourite films since i first saw it in the 1960 ' s . perhaps the french blu - rversion listed by amazon won ' t have these odd fluctuations ?\nthe blu - ray ediiton has a flawless high - definition transfer . i can ' t imagine the film looked this good even in 1966 . there is a 2003 documentary on the making of the film and also a television interview with polanski from 1967 . in both cases , i found that there was more attention paid in the interviews to the process of the film than to the deeper meanings of the themes . the booklet essay by david thompson sheds some light but leaves me feeling like i read an excerpt from what should be a much longer book .\nroman oratory ,\nan interview with andrea r . vaucher , in american film , april 1991 .\non 7 october , 2016 , janusz gajos was granted doctor honoris causa degree of the lodz film school .\nit ' s still odd to review a film with that cast and not comment on him at all .\ncaos calmo ( a . k . a . quiet chaos ( film ) ) as steiner ( 2007 )\nmaybe i should also give a try to godard\u2019s \u201cmade in usa\u201d and passolini\u2019s \u201chawks and sparrows , but i feel like i\u2019d never finish the year and it\u2019s not like i\u2019m closing the door to anything from 1966 or something , i\u2019ll eventually watch them .\ninterview , in the film director as superstar , by joseph gelmis , garden city , new york , 1970 .\nseveral examples will illustrate this . the story of the three characters in the film knife in the water , elegant , though full of tension resulting from frequent turns of action and changes in atmosphere is also a bitter and ironic story about the shallowness of dreams , about a career which , on one hand , determines certain social roles , but also deprives the individual of his freedom . in the film cul - de - sac the system of values which the main characters embody is totally discredited thus it becomes a grotesque fable about violence and psychological captivation . the films repulsion and the tenant made in the thriller genre , are at the same time shocking studies of human loneliness . rosemary\u2019s baby is not only a film with satanic themes , but also a penetrating analysis of the state of consciousness and the emotions accompanying a woman expecting a baby . bitter moon , a film saturated with eroticism or even erotic perversion is a parable full of sad afterthoughts about the destructive force of passion in which there is no room for love , tenderness or sense of attachment , which provide the premises for a long relationship between a woman and a man . even chinatown , which in a congenial manner fulfills the requirements of a literary or \u201cfilm noir\u201d crime story , contains elements of an antique drama ruled by the forces of fate .\npolanski ' s french - language adaptation of the award - winning play venus in fur , stars his wife emmanuelle seigner and mathieu amalric . polanski worked with the play ' s author , david ives , on the screenplay . the film was shot from december 2012 to february 2013 in french and is polanski ' s first non - english language feature film in forty years . the film premiered in competition at the 2013 cannes film festival on 25 may 2013 .\nfilm and theatre director , screenwriter and art director . studied fine art and then film direction at the lodz film school . oscar as life achievement award winner ( 2000 ) . co -

a folk tale about a woman who falls in love with a ghost\nmithun , koel and jeet celebrate the film & apos ; s success at a city hotel . picture by aranya sen\nit takes two to tango in tollywood , in today & apos ; s times , at least . the box - office jinx kept tripping tinsel town for the past six months till two leading men teamed up to vault it on july 29 . now , with house - full shows and deafening catcalls , the film industry is finally breathing easy .\nriding high on the combined box - office might of mithun chakraborty and jeet , action thriller juddha has grossed more than rs 2 . 5 crore .\ndirected by ravi kinnagi , with debasree roy and koel mullick also in the lead , the film recorded an unprecedented initial of rs 1 . 2 crore in the first week .\nfootfall at the theatres & apos ; juddha was released at mitra , bharati and prachi in the city & apos ; this august has come as a shot in the arm for an industry reeling under a spate of flops and average scorers from the start of 2005 .\nin the first week , juddha ran to 90 per cent occupancy at mitra , while prachi and bharati recorded 100 per cent collections . such high initials have smashed all previous records in tollywood , claims shrikant mohta of shree venkatesh films , which has produced juddha with a budget of around rs 2 - crore ( including print and publicity ) . & apos ; all the theatres where the film is running have reported profits . we have had 95 per cent overall collections . we didn & apos ; t expect anything like this , as it & apos ; s an action film , & apos ; mohta says .\nwhile a bengali film is normally released with a maximum of 30 prints , venkatesh released juddha with 41 prints across the state . the ticket rates had also been raised by more than 50 per cent , which added to the profits , explains mohta . the new rates at bharati , for instance , are rs 20 for rear and rs 25 for balcony stalls .\n& apos ; juddha is a superhit . we have had house - full night shows over the weekends , which is rare these days , & apos ; confirms mitra owner dipen majumdar , adding that it could well turn out to be the top grosser of the past three - four years .\nfrom the venkatesh stable , juddha is the second action film to have rolled out after pratibad , starring prosenjit and wife arpita , in 2001 . in between , there have been quite a few of this genre under other banners , with prosenjit or mithun at the helm .\nbut juddha is again one of those inexplicable instances of the box - office performance being just right though the plot is almost all wrong . supercop mithun rounds up para rowdy jeet but discovers the good soul hidden within . and just when friendship begins to bind the two men , a corrupt mla kills mihun & apos ; s wife debasree to settle a score . framed for the murder , mithun turns fugitive , while jeet slips into cop gear to stop his mentor . and then , the cat - and - mouse chase that bollywood has long slammed its brakes on .\nso , what has juddha going for it & apos ; the mithun - jeet combo , a sizzling item number , a fast pace , a slick look & apos ; one leading man couldn & apos ; t agree more . & apos ; the most important factor i think is me and mithun da coming together for the first time . that apart , juddha is above the normal bengali film in terms of stylisation , pace , content , looks and promotion , & apos ; sums up jeet .\n& apos ; with jeet and mithun carrying equal weight , this is the first of its kind multi - starrer in tollywood . and the audience wants to see who scores over whom , & apos ; stresses mohta .\nthe racy remix version of the popular folk song saadher lao , to which gladrags supermodel contestant konkona bakshi shakes her hips in a skimpy outfit , has also done its bit to boost footfall .\n& apos ; we expect juddha to run till the pujas and we will leave a gap before releasing our next , shubha drishti , & apos ; adds mohta .\nif juddha is aimed squarely at the masses , shubha drishti , a rajshri - venkatesh co - production , will spring a step forward to pull in those hooked to parallel films , when it releases in the kali puja week .\nkichu asha khoje bhasa ( hd

her for the truth , promising he will help her no matter what . chandni doesn ' t reply to him which angers him .\nneel soon catches her reading love letters by akash . neel is rudely shattered and drags her back home . at first he is extremely furious because chandni hasn ' t said the truth . since his wife is in love with another man , he shows ultimate love and wisdom by taking chandni to italy , in search of akash , to the initial dislike , but eventual approval of his own parents .\nchandni and neel arrive in italy , but always come up against dead ends , searching for akash . during their search , they face many problems and dilemmas and slowly chandni gets to see what neel really is like . she sees neel selflessly devoting himself to caring for her during her stay in hospital after a gunshot . eventually they get news about akash through his mother , and neel dutifully arranges for their encounter on the night of akash ' s debut concert . his job done , neel bids goodbye to chandni and walks away , a heartbroken man .\nrahul ( jeet ) , the son of a wealthy but traditional industrialist , returned home to his father after completing his academic career in foreign lands . when the father tries to persuade him in his marriage he puts up a fantastic condition - that he will marry the girl of his father\u2019s choice and will live as married couple for one year only , after which , if either of the two seems to feel distant from the other , the marriage will be called off . surprisingly , the traditional father agrees and chooses pallavi ( koel mallick ) , his pa as the most appropriate bride .\nnow pallavi\u2019s family consisted of her widowed mother , an elder sister deprived of her husband , a younger brother not at all competent for any job , and the youngest sister getting pregnant with the boyfriend trying to avoid responsibilities . so pallavi , just to save her family , accepted the contract much against her wishes and thus began a curious way of life with both of the wedlocked couple leading an unreal lifestyle .\nthough both shared the same bed , but rahul seemed to be oddly insensitive to pallavi\u2019s emotions . thus it was not strange that he never cared to celebrate pallavi\u2019s birthday and his scathing remarks while appreciating pallavi\u2019s cooking hurt her feelings and duty seemed the only virtue that kept rahul any closer to his wife . but the artificiality of the story is vividly brought to fore when rahul , after quickly recovering from a comatose condition , chiefly due to pallavi\u2019s sincerest nursing , doesn\u2019t hesitate to declare that the next day is the end of their contract term when he will be willingly divorcing pallavi . well at this point if the audience thought that the story is nearing a tragic completion , it is only the intermission that is declared .\nin the second half we see that the table turns as rahul suddenly feels sympathetic to pallavi and all his passions overwhelms him so much that he rushes to his in - laws\u2019 house and requests pallavi\u2019s return . but no says the director , and the story goes on with pallavi now rejecting all the ardent proposals of rahul , be it him buying all the shares of pallavi\u2019s new struggling organization just to secure for himself the position of pallavi\u2019s boss . surprises seem to be on store for the audience with pallavi conceiving a child ( just imagine that rahul was in comatose for a pretty long time and the day he recovered , the couple separated ) and now rahul , in sympathy arranges for an ac bus for her and shifts her office to the ground floor . now the only thing that remains is revelation and pallavi invites and insults rahul in one of the most improbable of settings with rahul sophisticatedly defending his views .\nfinally after all these , the two again reunites in hospital bed after the severely injured rahul takes pallavi to the maternity ward ( it is clearly indicated in the picture that pallavi was less than seven months pregnant though she suffers serious labour pains and again when the baby was delivered no sign of immaturity is ever observed ) and they celebrate the simultaneous delivery of the child and rahul\u2019s recovery from his critical condition . thus family ties are again restored and the happy ending is guaranteed .\nthe film covers a span of a few days \u2014 beginning before independence day and reaching its climax on d - day itself . anikit ( jeet ) , a talented singer and a simpleton , lands himself in trouble when a stranger takes shelter in his house along with her child . what follows , is a series of lies by anikit and room - mate kobi ( biswanath ) , only to cover up the incident . the actors , who stand out are biswanath , who tries to do an ustad zakir hussain act , in search of his muse , papiya adhikari as the neighbourhood boudi , biswajit chakraborty as mama sen and mimi dutta as hiya ' s ( varsha ) intelligent sister ."]}

8 festival , there was a question : \u201c some say with the coming of video to india , super - 8 has no chance . do you agree ? \u201d to which film society activist subhendu dasgupta had replied \u201c ours is a country of poor people . video will not be able to reach them . also the chance of s - 8 basically depends on the objectives and strength of the organisations who will use this medium . \u201d indeed , super 8 could hold ground for quite sometime , because of some initial disadvantages of vhs . the cameras were not as portal , editing was entirely different and so editors or technicians who were used to films could not automatically migrate at least technologically ! hardware was immensely expensive , vhs projectors were almost unthinkable and colour televisions were rare and small - screen , making public screening a major problem . but still super - 8 was fighting a loosing battle , and the manufacturers well understood it . as vhs started to replace super 8 as the main motion picture format internationally , the cost of cartridges , and other hardware started to rise . the major markets in europe and america was quickly adapting to vhs while in third world , the cost of vhs equipments was a serious impediment . even as costs rose , some tried to carry on with super 8 and the most of the people and organisations attached to the super - 8 movement could not cope . debasis moitra remembered how during the final phases of production of hool , the super 8 cartridge price rose to almost 5 - 6 times its usual price ."]}

very funny ! i hadn ' t heard of tash ma tash before that , but i think it ' s refreshing . as coolred said , being able to make fun of yourself is probably the best way to get positive change ( both on an individual level and on a national level ) . i also agree with arianna that the reasons behind the legalisation of polygamy during the advent of islam , no longer apply and therefore should be banned . actually , i agree with every word of arianna ' s post . regarding the south park death threat controversy -

tempered . there should always be impeccable customer service especially when you ' re selling quality pieces . especially if you want returning customers . the customers are the ones funding the company business . remember that . i also had a bad piercing experience with them and it was to the piercer ' s misjudgment . i had my double helix pierced with one of their guy ' piercers . instead of using a long back post so that my two fresh piercings would have room to swell up and heal , it was pierced with two short back posts meant for\nhealed\npiercings . i even clarified twice .\nare you sure these posts would give my ears enough room to breathe ?\nthe answer was , yes . the consequences played out for the next week . my right ear swelled up and was throbbing so badly , i couldn ' t sleep through the night . i had to go back to tash and their other piercer had to swap out the two short posts to two long posts ! they even asked ,\nwho pierced this ?\nthe swap out of the posts was the most painful experience ! as for the healing process , it is still healing . it has been approximately 4 months since i had pierced it . would i pierce my ears here again ? no .\nit ' s not easy to endure the relentless stream of misfortune and suffering that afflicts meili and her family wherever they go . the desperate world of migrant workers , many of whom are also on the run from family planning officers , is filled with tragic encounters that cumulatively read like a catalogue of every scandal to afflict modern - day china . toxic industrial waste that has turned the famous yangtze as\nred as oolong tea\n; chemically produced fake milk powder ; watermelons injected with growth hormones ; mouldy rice milled with wax and resold as new ; corrupt party officials ; the ill treatment of the mentally ill \u2013 these horrors fill the pages of the novel , snuffing out any traces of optimism , such as kongzi ' s furtive efforts to grow seasonal herbs and meili ' s fleeting yet tender encounter with a man in search of his drowned mother ' s corpse . it is as though ma is forcing the reader to experience the same harshness faced by migrant workers ; but at the same time , meili ' s unfading innocence and faith in humanity make us long for a conventional happy ending , even if we suspect there isn ' t going to be one .\ni had such a fun experience at maria tash ! first of all i want to say how cool this place is ! ! it ' s a high end piercing parlor so you can literally get new piercings done with gold , diamonds and all the good stuff : ) anyways - i came in spur of the moment for a conch piercing . i was immediately greeted by a friendly guy behind the counter who spent lots of time with me helping me make the perfect earring decision ! i wish i could remember his name but he was super friendly and patient ! ! the piercer was equally awesome - she put a dot on my ear where she suggested the piercing should go - i asked if she could do it a little higher - i asked her why she wanted to put it lower - she explained that the earring would sit better lower but that i could get it pierced whenever felt better for me - i went with her suggestion and i ' m so happy that i did ! what was even better was the fact that even though the needle hurt initially - i had zero pain after the piercing - it ' s crazy !\ni ' ve been wanting to get another piercing for a few years now and finally got around to doing it only because i found maria tash . i ' ve only ever had piercings with a gun and was afraid of getting one with a needle ( afraid of them in general ) , so i felt intimidated to go to a tattoo place and get it done . i found more comfort in going to a piercing - only place and this was it . immediately got attended to once i walked in the door , but then the sales associate got distracted and started helping someone else . this happened twice before someone finally helped me and rang me up . knocked off the one star for this reason , and also just for the jewelry being ridiculously overpriced . my earring was thoroughly sterilized and the final sales associate was very helpful through the process . i then went upstairs to wait for my turn . the piercer sterilized the room from the next person before i came in , changed his gloves , and got me settled . we worked to get the right spot on my ear , and i was then given the marker to keep - even more reassurance re : how clean everything is . the needle wasn ' t as scary as i expected and i loved the way my piercing looked . would highly recommend coming here for a very clean , instructive experience , but would recommend earring shopping elsewhere and bringing it with you instead .\ntwo of the attackers were also killed and another injured , the saudi press agency reports .\npaulinho vs kevin de bruyne \u2014 the brilliant belgian has yet to hit top form in russia . if he can find space then brazil\u2019s dogged defense could be in for a long night . paulinho has been one of the south americans\u2019 best players so far and it will be his task to shut down any belgium attack early .\n\u2018baligh okaz\u2019 is an attempt to touch on the souq\u2019s identity as a forum to spread eloquence and pride . it represents argumentative skills as a means of communication that contributes to attracting youthful minds .\n\u00a9 2018 saudi research & publishing company , all rights reserved and subject to terms of use agreement .\nisrael fears syrian president bashar assad could allow iran and hezbollah to move forces into the area , giving them a foothold near its border .\nsaudi arabia ' s prince marriage , most expensive wedding ever . . no one can beat them in royalty\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 .\nexplore popular sci -

servants were codified and sufficiently benign not to provoke reprisals on return to the real world order .\nfor all its courage remains sufficiently benign not to be completely censored or forced off the air . the use of humour is one protection , as is the device of a fiction within a fiction , in this episode on\nmultiple husbands\n. furthermore showing polyandry is at one remove from addressing polygyny as a saudi problem , rather than tackling the problem head on . there is controversy but no direct hits so to speak .\nothers are welcome to comment as well , including sharing their experiences of carnivals or the role of satire in effecting social change , or stimulating critical thinking .\n* a special thank you to saudi jawa for emailing me the link to the free download . downloading takes time ( if you are using the free option , but it is worthwhile even if you don ' t understand arabic -

( and vice versa . ) : - ) thanks for sharing !\nmarriage in islam is a leagally and socially binding contract between to a man and woman , generally in contracts it is very common and lawful even in the most ( modern ) communities that the stronger partner is allowed to dictate his terms and whether someone accept it or not man is and will always be the dectating element in any human society . unfortunately just like animals . as it is well known any contract can be terminated , simply when a partner is no more intersted or just feel that he want to walk out . yes in modern societies many women are able to support themselves so if they do not like to share their hasbands they can islamically get divorce ( terminate the contract from their side ) so not need to raise hell about it , there is always exit . and those who can not support themself can survive it . but i would like to add that in islam even though polygamy is only ( jaaiz ) something like allowed not as a way of life and it is restricted to certain cases , unfortunately some people especially of tribal backgrouds practice it to compete with each other and to boast manhood and size of families . banning polygamy is out of question , what is permitted by allah should not be banned by man believe me it will soon come in handy after world iii , and they will say we should allow and left the ban . instead they should be progressive and allow plyandry and let us see what muslim women will call who pritice it .\nmajed , slavery was permitted by allah . i don ' t think you ' ll find many muslims who ' ll say it was wrong to ban it .\nshafiq , thank you for reading my comments , i know my english is weak but i hope people understand what i mean to say . but , what polygamy has to do with slavery after all that is said about marriage contract ? and of course i am totally against slavery , unfortunately it is still practised in its original form in some places and in many different forms in many other palces and people are making fortunes out of it . so it cant acutally be banned , it is like stop possessing your own slave but you can always hire other people ` s slaves . i hope you will go through this link i feel that it can talk for me . urltoken\nfinally watched it and even though i don ' t understand arabic it was very easy to follow . this is why i like soaps in other languages btw . it was very good and i will have my husband watch it so he can translate the talk after the show for me .\ni am a canadian academic of italian origin with qualifications in medicine , psychiatry , literature , and philosophy , and interested in the cross -

the \u201cshine\u201d in the movie is not the same as the \u2018shine\u2019 in the novel . as i noted before stanley kubrick created a film that\u2019s symmetrical . the red calumet can appears behind dick hallorann\u2019s head at precisely : 27 minutes from the beginning of the film and the same cans appear behind jack\u2019s head precisely : 27 minutes from the end of the film .\nthe 2 words \u201cnotgnivots\u201d and \u201credrum\u201d are both precisely positioned reflections eventually seen from opposite sides of wendy\u2019s mirror , equidistant ( : 35 minutes ) from the center of the movie . stanley kubrick shows us with precision that he has indeed edited the time codes to come out the way he wished and that he has indeed inverted stephen king\u2019s novel . this must have been the most difficult cinematic feat for stanley kubrick to accomplish . it was a lot of work to set up similar scenes at equidistant spots in this film . there are several other occurrences that are time symmetrical in \u201cthe shining\u201d and i\u2019ll mention them again at appropriate times in this article . the red calumet can appears behind dick hallorann\u2019s head as danny \u201cshines\u201d to him in the storeroom : 27 minutes from the beginning of the film . the same cans appear behind jack\u2019s head at precisely : 27 minutes from the end of the film as he \u201cshines\u201d and talks to grady . the visions of the bloody elevators are an omen of death . when danny sees his vision of the bloody elevators it\u2019s : 11 minutes into the film and wendy sees dick hallorann\u2019s dead body at precisely : 11 minutes from the end of the film . wendy has the exact same vision of the bloody elevators : 08 minutes from the end of the film and at precisely : 08 minutes into the film mr . ullman tells jack about the grady murder suicide . at : 59 minutes into the film jack has a dream about killing his family and at : 59 minutes from the end of the film we first see grady who tells jack to kill his family . jack looks into the hedge maze miniature at : 40 minutes into the film and wendy looks into \u201call work and no play makes jack a dull boy\u201d at : 40 minutes from the end . wendy uses the radio at : 49 minutes into the film and jack destroys the radio : 49 minutes from the end . jack throws the ball : 37 minutes into the film and wendy holds the bat : 37 minutes from the end . 1 : 09 minutes into the film wendy tells jack about the woman and at : 1 : 09 minutes from the end of the film the woman touches jack . : 13 minutes from the end of the film wendy has a vision of the 2 gentlemen in the room and at : 13 minutes from the begining of the film danny talks to the pediatrician .\nstanley kubrick inverts all this and as i mentioned before danny never sees the word \u201credrum\u201d . don\u2019t forget what tony tells us in the film\u2019s dialogue ,\nstanley kubrick subtly does something else that helps explain much of the movie . in the film jack speaks 2 of the ghost\u2019s lines from the novel ;\njust thought of some oldies , the screaming skull is a 1950\u2019s b & w film that i was impressed with , though i can\u2019t completely recall the story right now . and then there is an amicus film the skull , which i remember to be rather good , lee and cushing star in it .\nnow the reason i\u2019ve brought all this up is because it has everything to do with the title of this section ; whether or not the overlook is haunted . it ' s so important because it proves who has the ability to \u201cshine\u201d in the movie . like dick hallorann said ,\na sharp and well paced horror film with heavy overtones of grief , anguish , and horrors of the real world that we sometimes unfortunately can never conquer .\n1 : 42 minutes into the film . the first time wendy discovers what ' s in jack\u2019s novel ( exactly : 24 seconds from when we first see\nbeautifully shot with a great score , the perfume of the lady in black is a dreamy , unsettling film where nothing is ever as it seems . the wonderfully named mimsy farmer plays sylvia , a scientist haunted by melancholy and hallucinations . she\u2019s never quite recovered from her mother\u2019s suicide , and when she goes to a party where talk turns to witchcraft and human sacrifice , her sanity starts to unravel . but are her problems really all in her head , or is there something else going on ? the film doesn\u2019t reveal its secrets until the very end , when all that creepiness pays off spectacularly .\nhave you seen the unseeable ? it\u2019s about a thai woman who goes out trying to find the father of her unborn child , and ends up at his other lover\u2019s house which is very very haunted . it probably doesn\u2019t make the top 13 but something about it has stuck with me .\nit may take a little time for you to digest all this . even though i don ' t , you may still believe with all your heart that the overlook hotel is haunted . well there may be a glimmer of hope you can hold onto . in the dialogue stanley kubrick infers that there\u2019s something else that may be haunted . i didn\u2019t mention this in the section about \u201cthings that move\u201d but one of the biggest and most obvious continuity errors in \u201cthe shining\u201d is their breath . there are scenes taking place in sub zero temperatures but you can\u2019t see their breath , the\nspooked , the guests start recounting their own stories of the uncanny , each more unnerving than the last . well , except for the one about the golfers , but that one\u2019s just there for light relief before the film hits you with the scariest ventriloquist\u2019s dummy ever committed to film . just excellent , all round .\nhi , patrik . you\u2019re very welcome . i checked netflix for haunted ( 1995 ) but they don\u2019t have it yet . i\u2019ll keep an eye out for a cable listing or a dvd in the bargain bin . thanks for the the heads - up \u2026 it sounds like a great cast .\n\u2013 by the time i saw this film ( on dvd , in september 2012 ) i\u2019d all but given up on contemporary horror and taken refuge in older movies . after watching the orphanage , i gushed about it here . this is the film that made me realize that great horror is still being created , it\u2019s just that you might have to look a little harder and further afield for it than you did in the past . ( this film is in spanish . )\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nunfriended\ntries some truly radical techniques , but the triteness of the film ' s story itself prevents it from ascending to the pantheon of cinema greatness .\nthe north carolina film study has\nthe largest return on investment that i have seen in an impact study on film credits ,\nclouse said after reviewing the handfield study . previously , a 2010 louisiana study showed the biggest such impact , estimating a $ 1 invested to $ 5 . 37 in economic activity return .\nah ! another good catch by a reader . i\u2019d forgotten about this film . yes , it\u2019s quite good and i\u2019ll add it to the list . thanks !\none of the best ghost film list i\u2019ve seen . you basically covered everything worth covering . i wish you would watch \u2018whistle and i\u2019ll come to you\u2019 . it\u2019s a ghost film if there ever was one . you can buy it on amazon under the incorrect title of \u2018whistle and i\u2019ll come for you\u2019 . highly recommended .\nat exactly one quarter into the film , : 35 minutes , we see jack\u2019s reflection in wendy\u2019s bedroom mirror and the word \u201cstovington\u201d is inverted on his shirt .\n( page 6 , chapter 1 ) when you read the novel the guy in the film looks nothing like him . here\u2019s stephen king\u2019s two descriptions of derwent ,\nbut there\u2019s something else ! stanley kubrick adds one more brilliant little touch at the end of \u201cthe shining\u201d that must be mentioned . you hear it every time you view the film but i bet you\u2019ve never \u2018really\u2019 heard it . the final words spoken in the film ; something borrowed from \u201cthe exorcist\u201d and we never would have known about it if a poster hadn\u2019t mentioned this to me . lightningscream suggested that i , \u201cshould watch the film in reverse . kinda\u2019 like reverse speech . \u201d\nthe killer toy resonates so profoundly because of the cognitive dissonance involved in the idea of a child ' s cuddly toy going rogue , according to film experts .\nhaunted forest is clearly a rip - off of recent east asian horror films like ringu or kairo . the long - haired , vengeful female ghost is typical for most east asian horror films and is taken from ancient folklore and legends . rarely do you see it in western films , unless it ' s a remake . clearly haunted forest wanted to the milk the popularity of j - horror , but its influence here is too obvious and trivial . the lack of originality keeps the ghost from being truly scary and most viewers will simply roll their eyes since they ' ve seen it all before .\ni saw vhs was mentioned ; the last clip in that is a neat haunted house bit , but if you want a very cool ghost story , skip the first movie and go right for the first clip in vhs2 . the rest of the movie is great fun too and gets quite insane .\nthen it becomes frightening clear that stanley kubrick has hidden 2 of the most incredibly chilling words i\u2019ve ever heard in a film . hearing them has totally changed the end of the film for me . the anguish and despair cuts right through and the more you listen to it the more disturbing it becomes ( click here ) .\ni\u2019m a little surprised to see one of the creepiest haunted movies in recent years not included here \u2013 \u2018session 9\u2019 ( 2001 ) . so much whacked out actual stuff was happening on the set ( shot at the abandoned danvers state hospital ) that the spooked out performance of the cast wasn\u2019t just acting\u2026 .\nit looks like a film that could help out what ' s initially been thought of as a very mixed august slate of releases ,\nrobbins told afp .\nfor example , there ' s a scene where satinka ' s body is pulled from the sacred tree . wait , this sounds familiar . oh yeah , there was a similar scene in ringu where sadako ' s body is pulled from the well . of course , in haunted forest it ' s less cathartic .\n3 ) the shot of jack entering room 237 has a specific time code that places it exactly half way between the beginning and the end of the story . i ' ll discuss it later in this section and also in the section ,\nis the overlook haunted or does it\nshine\n?\n.\nto ray van horn , i wish i could have stumble upon your little infanous critic of this film , but nevertheless , im gonna state some corrections nearly a decade late . my one and only statement would be that your commentaries and assumptions are all based on your lack of knowledge of the film and the cultural environment it was made in . it is however understandable since your approach of such work is limited to the very systematic exposure you\u2019ve had with similar film ( s ) . yours truly , le baantiti\nhas a cameo in this movie . john cusack stars in this film which is based on a stephen king short story . you\u2019d think i\u2019d adore it , but it\u2019s a little too special effects - heavy for my taste . i love reality bending in books , but it\u2019s hard to portray it well on film . there is much to know\nand you must see this independent film i just rented called \u201cdeadly presence\u201d\u2026 . . if you like your ghost stories understated , creepy , claustrophobic , try to see it\u2026 .\n1 : 24 minutes into the film . the party scene when jack meets delbert grady for the first time ( the entire scene lasts exactly 9 : 21 minutes ) .\nstanley kubrick makes sure that we never see danny inside room 237 and this is the main reason i know he never enters the room in the film . i showed before\nthe colors yellow and red are another important part in the understanding \u201cthe shining\u201d . i ' ve included pictures below to show how stanley kubrick uses them in this film .\ndick hallorann\u2019s character is a true hero ; he never lies or deceives anyone in the film yet what he says in the dialogue is not believed ( click here ) .\n, dr . vannacutt is performing a vivisection on a patient while a nurse films him . in the previous film , there was a second nurse who was assisting him .\ni wonder if this critic ever amounted to anything ? and who does he think he is anyway , insulting the way a moviemaker chose to alter his source novel ? especially when , he ' s obviously clueless about exactly how well hidden and brilliantly stanley kubrick did this alteration * . stephen king\u2019s novel has gone down in history as one of the greatest american horror stories ever but with all due respect , if it wasn\u2019t for stanley kubrick\u2019s \u201cshining\u201d i believe only serious readers would know of stephen king\u2019s story or the overlook hotel . if you don\u2019t agree i\u2019d challenge you to sit down with a couple of beers and watch his miniseries , originally aired on abc , before you post a comment on this blog . if we only had that miniseries and didn\u2019t have stanley kubrick\u2019s film it might have been the end for \u201cthe shining\u201d , as there wouldn\u2019t be very much to discuss . it\u2019s the mystery in this masterpiece that keeps people coming back for more . stanley kubrick has turned the overlook into the most famous haunted hotel in history \u2013 and in his film it isn\u2019t even haunted at all . this is the real beauty of this film , the brilliant deception .\nthe imitation horror film has zero originality , zilch creativity , and not a single unique bone in its body . unlike the remakes that attempt to bring something new and updated to a film , or the gore hounds that try to push boundaries , the imitation is just a copy of a copy ; like a red - headed twin nobody wants .\ndel toro\u2019s visual flair is in full effect here , and every frame of this film ( even the scary ones ) are stunningly beautiful to look at . it\u2019s a treat .\n2 : 12 minutes into the film . wendy ' s vision of the old bloodied gentleman saying , \u201cgreat party , isn\u2019t it\u201d ( exactly : 12 seconds in duration ) .\nif you look closely in the film he ' s not a guest at all , he ' s the ma\u00eetre d ' jack meets as he first walks into the party .\ninteresting reading , i think it ' s fun when you can pick out some movies and really break it down to it ' s smallest part . ( i use to do that when im seriously bored ) . maybe it sounds a bit conspiracy over your theories , but it ' s fun to read anyway . i can share you with a very strange thing that happend to me . my best friend collin died on the hospital , the 12th october , 2007 , 18 : 30pm in cancer . it was a rainy day , so bad it only can be . i was born , the 12th october , 20 : 07pm . the week before i was traveling with a ferry over to the mainland . i had the ticket number 1830 . my starsign is cancer . he was in the hospital room 450 when he died . the day before , i recived a receipt that had 450 12 2007 1830 on it ' s bar - code . just to mention it , my father and mother names are actually jack and wendy . . . my name is ofc not danny , my name is moon . and i can ' t shine : )\nthe amityville horror is the haunted house story . if you were only ever going to watch one haunted house movie , it should be this one , because this is the archetypal story : a family moves into a house where horrible murders happened , and then bad things happen to them . it manages a lot of things later imitators didn\u2019t , though , which is that it makes the lutzes\u2019 decision to buy the house make sense , and also builds the horror slowly , so that they almost don\u2019t notice when the things going wrong in the house switch from annoying niggles to outright horror . if you\u2019ve moved house in recent memory , this one\u2019ll hit you where it hurts .\nit\u2019s chilling , this . the way director mike flanagan plays with reality , building unbearable uncertainty through camera angles and false memories , makes this film both incredibly scary and impossibly sad .\nhow come nobody mentioned \u201cthe haunting of the seacliff inn\u201d ? maybe it\u2019s a tv film , no idea . comes close to the changeling , mood - wise . i love it .\n\u201cit stood vacant until the end of world war ii , when it was purchased and completely renovated by horace derwent , millionaire inventor , pilot , film producer , and entrepreneur .\nannabelle just has such a rich history ,\n36 - year - old swedish director david sandberg told reporters at a preview screening at the los angeles film festival this week .\nin the interview mr . ullman tells jack about the grady murders and i get the feeling he would also be proud and mention it if his hotel were haunted too . after all he was quite truthful with jack and did mention several horrible murders that happened there . wendy would have loved to hear that . the place is haunted . neither mr . ullman nor dick hallorann mentions \u201cghosts\u201d because it isn ' t until jack arrives that the hotel becomes \u201chaunted\u201d and if that ' s an incorrect assumption on my part ; prove it . both dick hallorann and mr . ullman have been there for years and neither says a thing about \u201cghosts\u201d . dick hallorann is one of the true heroes of american literature , he risks his life for wendy and danny and in the film he gives his life for wendy and danny . he\u2019s a classic hero in every sense . yet some believe that he somehow knew something more , and didn\u2019t want to tell danny the whole story . he doesn\u2019t want to scare young danny so he tells him nothing about the crazy woman in one of the rooms who\u2019s going to try to kill him . think about it for a minute , this is an utterly ridiculous and unfounded assumption . like i showed before with the nicknames , he only tells danny what he knows . but how can this be so ? how can he not know about room 237 ? he lives in what everyone believes to be a haunted hotel and he also has a supernatural ability that would enable him to see it\u2019s previous guests running around ?\nchiefly a one - woman show ( if you only count characters with flesh ) , the film\u2019s achievement depends greatly on rueda\u2019s successful portrayal of laura . rueda , who received heavy accolades for her role in the 2004 oscar - winner for best foreign film \u201cthe sea inside , \u201d once again carries through with force , and powerfully depicts laura\u2019s internal battles and emotional decay .\ndirector ja bayona makes every shot count ; the movie is visually beautiful as well as fantastically sinister . it ' s a bona fide horror film but the ending might make you cry .\nthan at exactly three quarters through the film , 1 : 45 minutes : 35 minutes from the end , tony sees another inverted word , \u201credrum\u201d for the first time in a vision .\ni mentioned this in a previous section and you may be wondering how i\u2019m so sure that danny doesn\u2019t go into room 237 in the film . in the dialogue wendy tells jack this ,\nand stanley kubrick kept them in our sight throughout the entire film by showing artwork in the overlook and the indian on the calumet cans behind jack and dick hallorann\u2019s heads in the storeroom .\ninspired by a reoccuring nightmare director david robert mitchell had in his youth , it follows is a clever , freaky take on the slasher movie , featuring , well , a sexually transmitted ghost . maika monroe plays a young woman haunted by a shape shifting spectre after a sexual encounter who slowly but relentless trails her everywhere - the film plays with the audience expertly , making us guess whether background characters could really be the monster . ultra modern and highly effective , this one will leave you jumping at shadows long after the credits roll .\nhenchman ' s question about costs and benefits was at the heart of many legislative debates this summer as industry proponents battled to save the existing program . they pointed to a study by robert handfield , a professor of supply chain management at north carolina state university . the research , which was sponsored by the motion picture association of america and north carolina ' s regional film commissions , concluded that for every $ 1 spent in film and television credits the\nthe film and television industry generated $ 1 . 52 of tax revenue and $ 9 . 10 of direct spending .\nin other words , the study concludes the film and television credits spur so much economic activity that the taxes on that additional work repays the state in full for its investment .\nand he would have thrown a freudian sized tantrum trying to analyze jack\u2019s daydream in the film . stanley kubrick placed all the clues right there in that one single picture . freud who ? he mocked him and his \u201ctheory\u201d , and it\u2019s clear he showed the genius of freud the same respect he showed the genius of stephen king ; and that ' s absolutely none at all . it appears there\u2019s only room for one genius in stanley kubrick\u2019s world and that\u2019s him . hmmm\u2026 . . veddy interesting ! he brilliantly reversed everything of importance that he read in preparation for making this masterpiece . as i mentioned earlier he even shows us a mirror image of , \u201chansel and gretel\u201d . it\u2019s obvious right from the start what he ' s done to the novel as he reversed the color of jack\u2019s vw that brought them to the overlook from red to yellow and then reversed the color of the snowmobile from yellow to red . he used stephen king for the basic story , a few characters , and the overlook ( the most famous haunted hotel in history that wasn ' t haunted at all in the film ) , and he used freud for a very clever and much loftier deception . he was baiting some of his film clique , and he used dr . sigmund\u2019s star power to dupe them .\nstill , by all accounts , iowa ' s film and television industry is modest compared to north carolina ' s . and boosters for the industry say they hope the state chooses another direction .\ni didn\u2019t read through all the comments here but maybe somebody mentioned lets scare jessica to death ? this 1971 thriller has a couple of good jolts and effective scenes . its a film about vampires and ghosts . the original , made for tv , 1989 the woman in black deserves mention , particularly to fans of the haunting , the innocents and the others . a classic and unforgettable film\n. this sentence is so important and stanley kubrick utilizes it twice in his film . in the novel the manager lures jack into the basement where he decides to write a novel about the overlook\n, and one of them has the power to \u201cshine\u201d the images he\u2019s seen from the hotel\u2019s past directly into the other\u2019s minds . but no one is there except the torrance family and their invisible doubles . it\u2019s brilliant how stanley kubrick gave each cast member an ability that makes it appear to the audience that the overlook is haunted , when it actually isn\u2019t .\npeople are in 2 camps when it comes to who or what is controlling things in \u201cthe shining\u201d . at this point i\u2019ve mentioned it several times and it should be no secret that i believe stanley kubrick\u2019s overlook is not haunted ( and i believe he ' s the only director that could pull something like this off without anyone suspecting ) . this idea came to me after reading stephen king\u2019s novel and my belief is not a theory as the dialogue taken from the film and the alterations he made to the novel are exact and can ' t be ignored ,\nsome interesting things occur randomly in life ( click here ) but so many precise time codes occurring in a film in the scenes where characters are filmed in mirrors didn ' t happen by chance .\nthis is how i knew jack was \u201cshining\u201d images into the other\u2019s minds . stanley kubrick puts it in the dialogue . look closely at what danny says just before the first vision in the film ;\nand came up with a unique and ingenious way of hiding this in his film by using what appear to be common continuity errors to mask what he was doing . remember stephen king tells us ,\nan early example of the found footage genre , the blair witch project has been aped and parodied by everyone and their grandma , but there\u2019s something unsettling about it that hasn\u2019t quite gone away . most of the film is improvised ; the actors are really filming the scenes themselves , working from a loose outline of the plot , but without prior knowledge of what half the scares were going to be . that ambiguous ending lets you make up whatever explanation you like for the events of the film , which means whatever the scariest thing you can think of is , that\u2019s what the film is about ."]}

semitism . for example it connects to : the german information center for the study of racism ; manifestations of antisemitism around the world , a report by the israeli government ; and\nthe protocols of the elders of zion ,\nthe notorious anti - semitic forgery , with articles and analysis .\nafter the infamous 9 / 11 attacks of 2001 , there came a virulent resurgence of antisemitism reemerging in america convinced that the jews were responsible for the terrorism . feeding this is the repeatedly debunked book libel , protocols of the elders of zion and its disguised adaptations . director marc levin goes on a journey to interview the promoters of this kind of hate in all its forms .\nultimately , it seems clear that russian tsarist secret police in france put together these strands and others to create the first version of the protocols . a russian forger , mathieu golovinski , apparently had a prominent hand in the creation , a recent finding that is heavily emphasized by eisner . golovinski may have been responsible for adding the venue of the protocols - - a jewish graveyard where the elders of zion are described as holding their conspiratorial meetings .\nlevin\u2019s filmmaking journey takes place against an increasingly volatile backdrop : u . s . troops march on iraq , arab television stations broadcast a dramatization of \u201cthe protocols of the elders of zion , \u201d malaysian prime minister mahathir claims the jews rule the world by proxy , mel gibson releases \u201cthe passion of the christ\u201d and violence reignites between the palestinians and the israelis .\nthe only civilized response to this display of abject ignorance , hatred and bigotry is one of anguished despair , but levin ' s film enlightens as much as it enrages .\nat the same time i certainly felt some solidarity with the purported goals of the million more march , especially after the katrina disaster . i have spent a good part of the last two decades making films about the war at home , the drug war , the gang wars , the prison wars , the race war\u2026 . so i was curious to see for myself what mr . shabazz had to say and how he would react to my film , \u201cprotocols of zion . \u201d\nin the last few days we have seen a new wave of talk of conspiracy , jews , zionists , and israel . first the president of iran publicly exhorts his followers , saying that israel , \u201cmust be wiped off the map . \u201d that same evening iranian tv runs a special documentary on \u201cthe protocols of the elders of zion\u201d claiming it reveals the true zionist plot for world domination .\nthe same week , iran ' s president was refusing to back down from his call to fellow muslims to\nwipe israel off the map .\nmeanwhile in egypt , tv viewers had just spent ramadan enjoying a new drama series based on\nthe protocols of the elders of zion ,\nthe notorious anti - semitic hoax .\nlevin ' s film is most effective as it objectively documents the history of international anti - semitism , but loses ground whenever it reverts back to anecdotal coverage of the subject .\nmarc levin ' s documentary film is not directly centered on the protocols , but it keeps circling back to what is undeniably one of the most important documents in the long history of anti - semitism . the film begins at the site of the world trade center destroyed on sept . 11 , 2001 , where black street activists are angrily telling passersby that jews were secretly warned away from the buildings . ( this false theory , including the assertion that 4 , 000 jews would have died had they not been warned , is immensely popular both abroad and , in america , among many black extremists . ) levin , who with his father is an on - air presence in the film , follows the threads of that conspiracy theory and others that inevitably lead back to the protocols . in fact , some of the most compelling footage - - clips that are scattered throughout the film - - comes from\nknight without a horse ,\na lurid , 30 - part series based on the protocols that was aired on egyptian television in 2002 .\nno matter how well levin had made this film , there will still be those who will accept the protocols and other bogus documents as fact . still , it ' s reassuring to know that somebody has the courage to challenge the lies and to examine why they ' ve been so s\nas for the abundant evidence that the \u201cthe protocols of the elders of zion\u201d is not only a fraud but a plagiarized forgery i suggest the doubters simply consult the historic record . as far back as 1921 , philip graves of the london times revealed the protocols to be a fraud , showing it to be based on a french satire aimed at napoleon iii . the 1864 book by maurice joly ' s was\nles dialogues aux enfers\nor \u201cthe dialogue in hell between montesquieu and machiavelli , \u201d in a series of side - by - side extracts printed in the times , graves demonstrated that the forgers took long portions of the original text and simply replaced\nfrance\nwith\nzion\nand\nthe emperor\nwith\nwe the jews .\npropelled by the racist tract , which has revived for a new generation that is looking for someone to blame , levin takes to the streets in protocols of zion , engaging in a free - for - all dialogue with arab - americans , black nationalists , christian evangelicals , aryan skinheads , kabbalist rabbis , holocaust deniers and survivors , and parading peaceniks .\nthe associated press ' s initial report on the trailer \u2013 an amateurish , practically unwatchable production called the innocence of muslims \u2013 identified a mysterious character ,\nsam bacile\n, as its producer . bacile told the associated press that he was a jewish israeli real estate developer living in california . he said that he raised $ 5m for the production of the film from\n100 jewish donors\n, an unusual claim echoing protocols of the elders of zion - style fantasies . unfortunately , the extensive history of israeli and ultra - zionist funding and promotion of islamophobic propaganda in the united states provided bacile ' s remarkable statement with the ring of truth .\nin a work completed in the last month of his life , cartoonist will eisner , famed as\nthe father of graphic novels ,\nattempts to untangle the extremely complex story of the protocols . initially published in russia in the first few years of the 20th century , the protocols ( of which there are a great many versions ) is a fictitious account of a jewish plot to conquer the world . it claims to quote secret speeches given by an anonymous jewish leader at 24 meetings of the so - called elders of zion . the basic idea is that the jews , using masonic lodges , the power of gold , subversion of public opinion and morals , and the ideologies of both capitalism and communism , are engaged in a centuries - old plot to destroy christianity .\nbut it\u2019s not a picture of the umbrella man on the grassy knoll or the cartoon - like general from the pentagon calling someone at the cia who calls the cops in dallas . or the protocols with 12 elders of zion in a graveyard or cave somewhere deliberating , \u201cmonday we start the bank run , tuesday the depression , wednesday the assassination , thursday the coup and friday the war . . . \u201d\nlast night we had a preview screening at lincoln center with a panel moderated by richard pena , the director of the film society of lincoln center . the panelists were alan brinkley , professor of american history at columbia university , stuart klawans , film critic for the nation , and martin peretz , editor in chief of the new republic . i joined the panel and quickly realized it was something of a critical gang bang \u2013 one after another came the litany of criticism and complaints \u2013 no intellectual rigor \u2013 scattershot \u2013 too personal and in your face \u2013 but then martin peretz went for the jugular intimating that the film was not good for jews .\ni give this dvd . . - 1 star . . no information about the protocals of zion . its all about alan levin . he isnt going to say its all true is he ? . . crapp dvd . .\nnow come two american jews who are not scholars , but artists , men who apparently each felt they had to react to the noxious poison . in highly individual ways , each man uses his craft to take on the myth that has fueled anti - semitism more than any other for 100 years - - the protocols of the elders of zion , a book purporting to be a verbatim record of jewish leaders plotting to take over the world .\nthe majority of revolutions , coups d ' etat , and wars which have occurred in the world [ in the past ] , those that are occurring , and those that will occur , are almost entirely the handiwork of the jews . they [ the jews ] turned to [ these methods ] in order to implement the injunctions of the fabricated torah , the talmud , and the ' protocols [ of the elders of zion ' ] , all of which command the destruction of all non - jews in order to achieve their goal - namely , world domination .\ndocumentary in which political filmmaker marc levin examines the rise of anti - semitism in the usa following the terrorist attacks of 11 september 2001 . the belief that jewish people were somehow responsible for 9 / 11 has its roots in the infamous publication ' protocols of the elders of zion ' , a century - old russian forgery that some people claimed to be the jews ' master plan to rule the world . levin sets out to understand why this racist tract has been revived , and to challenge one of the most persistent , insidious conspiracy theories of all time .\na powerful , must - see documentary that shines a new light on an old tragedy .\n- - indiewire\na valuable and frightening survey of contemporary anti - semitism .\n- - new york post\nghoulishly funny and smartly sobering .\n- - newsday\na compelling case that authenticates our greatest fears .\n- - san francisco examiner\n\u0091protocols of zion\u0092 makes its case expertly and powerfully .\n- - the new york times\nthe story eisner tells , which ends with the seemingly irrepressible protocols resurfacing repeatedly in the contemporary world , is byzantine in its complexity and occasionally makes educated guesses about matters that cannot be known . it can be a fascinating tale , but it more than once suffers from the blizzard of exhaustive and confusing detail that eisner felt compelled to include . one example is the 17 pages of side - by - side comparisons of the texts of the protocols and joly ' s book .\nprotocols ultimately lacks the focus and the scope to have much effect beyond causing us to shake our heads in dismay at the usual suspects : ignorance and those who would exploit it .\nin 1935 there was actually a trial in switzerland where two swiss nazis were charged with circulating the protocols . they claimed they were real . the judge ruled against them and said :\nabraham foxman , national director of the anti - defamation league , speaks to reporters at adl ' s office in new york after he saw the mel gibson ' s film\nthe passion of the christ\nfor the second time , feb . 25 , 2004 . he said he was still worried about reactions to the film when it comes out in places like argentina and europe , where there ' s been less debate about its content .\nanother guest chimed in \u201cyou couldn\u2019t have asked for more . your film just got one of the most vicious anti - semites to rethink one of his most inflammatory accusations . this is a significant retreat and you guys should be all over it . \u201d\nnear the dawn of the 20th century , underlings of czar nicholas ii created a book called the protocols of the elders of zion , which purported to be the outline of a master plan created by powerful jews determined to rule the world . first published in 1903 , the essay was a hoax ( and was revealed as such for the first time in 1921 by the london times ) , but that hasn ' t prevented it from having a long and troubling life as a widely distributed cornerstone of anti - semitic hate literature ; it ' s still in print around the world , and was adapted for egyptian television in the new millennium . when filmmaker marc levin was confronted with another widely disseminated bit of anti - jewish propaganda ( the false assertion that no jews died in the world trade center attacks of september 11 , 2001 ) , he developed a new curiosity about the protocols and other\nfactual\nsources of anti - semitic hatred , and set out to find out more about anti - jewish propaganda . the result was protocols of zion , a documentary which offers a surprising ( and surprisingly witty ) look at figures from the hate movement in america in elsewhere , ranging from leader of the neo - nazi national alliance ( who also sells aryan wear footwear ) to an anti - semitic media analyst who announces that rupert murdoch is actually a jew . the film also examines henry ford ' s well - documented hatred of jews , anti - semitism among radical african - americans , and the memories of levin ' s father , a self - described\nall - american jew .\nthe next day in washington , d . c . vice president dick cheney\u2019s chief of staff , lewis \u201cscooter\u201d libby , is indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice in the cia leak case . shortly after , the web is full of new postings claiming libby was the leader of the real \u201celders of zion , \u201d the jewish neo - con conspiracy that controls us foreign policy .\ni didn ' t really give it much thought until he called me a few days later and gave me some of the names he was in touch with . he told me malik shabazz was interested in seeing the film .\nin 1929 even henri ford , who popularized the protocols in the united states , was forced to admit they were not real and he apologized for publishing them in his newspaper , the dearborn independent .\n\u201cthe question - and - answer session was more contentious , with the\nquestions\nrunning more toward rambling rants . one questioner went on at great length about how jews are not the only semites and how arabs and africans are excluded by the term\nantisemitism\n; another was incensed by the presence of kahanist extremists in the film , and a third , a member of the nation of islam smelling a new conspiracy in hbo ' s promotion of the film , demanded to know how much the cable channel had paid for\nprotocols .\nimages of a\njerry springer\n- esque chair - throwing brawl may have danced through some onlookers ' minds , but cooler heads prevailed . and the forces of peace , triumphant for the day , then moved on to the coffee and cake . \u201d\ni bought this video for my local high school video library , to introduce the students to the fraud of the\nprotocols\n. i assumed from the title it would expose\nthe protocols\nfor being the forgery and fraud that it is , and this video just does not do that . it was disjointed , and confusing , jumping from just a tiny bit of protocol history , to 9 - 11 , to mel gibson ' s\npassion of the christ\n, to the israel / palestine conflict , to anti - semitic hate groups , to a scene with prisoners . some scenes had me curious if this was pro or anti\nprotocls\n. it just does not make the connection of the\nprotocols\nto modern day anti - judaism . it would have been much better to stay with its title , the history of the protocols , and the fact that it has been proven more than once as a forgery and a fraud .\nit ' s probably useful for the world to know the extreme lengths to which bigotry is willing to travel ; protocols may not be the best - made documentary , but it definitely fills in those blanks .\nthat the assault was pre - planned , allegedly by of one of the jihadist groups that emerged since the nato - led overthrow of libya ' s gaddafi regime . so even though the deadly scene in benghazi may not have resulted directly from the angry reaction to the islamophobic video , the violence has helped realize the apocalyptic visions of the film ' s backers .\nthat ' s the rumor i heard only days after 9 - 11 and it was really the inciting incident for the film . i was ready to take up shabazz ' s dare and set the record straight : hundreds of jews died on 9 - 11 !\neisner ' s graphic novel attempts to tell the story of how the protocols was actually written , a story that is largely known but to which certain new revelations have recently been added . in 1921 , a british journalist established that the protocols was largely plagiarized from an 1864 political satire by maurice joly aimed at french dictator napoleon iii from a liberal point of view . joly ' s book , dialogue in hell between machiavelli and montesquieu , never mentioned jews at all . joly himself also plagiarized from popular fiction of his day to enliven his own book .\ni read the book and watched the dvd by marc levin ( called protocols of zion ) . i thought both were worth my time . the dvd provides clear evidence of what some in our world believe and shows the passions that are yoked to those convictions . there are people who will immediately discount and reject levin ' s presentation , but , taken at face value , it clearly presents a collection of straight forward experiences and , honestly , saddens me . we are a deeply torn humanity . as a researcher , protocols was a book i needed to go through . while presenting itself as\njewish ,\ni ' m amazed by the similarities i find , in outlook and method , with any number of anti - democratic totalitarian systems , with american progressivism , statist secular socialism , and even with islamic political fundamentalism . one could replace many jewish references with some other entity and recognize historic examples of what the protocols convey , likely because the book presents the workings of evil . evil finds its home in the human heart , in the human condition . thus , no single people group escapes its touch and the protocols can apply to many throughout history . assume it was not of jewish authorship and origination . the author would need to be intimate with the workings of evil him or her self to create the work . we meet ourselves . i realize the book ' s fame is anchored to some islamic promotion , yet the concept of\nfreedom\nfound on pages 51 , 65 , and 97 ( in my copy ) , for example , is a similar concept , a similar view of freedom , as that found in islam ( freedom according to shariah , harmony , and as outlined by islamic thinkers like seyyid qutb ) . so , before one throws stones , one should examine his or her own system and see how protocols speaks to it . not everyone needs to read the protocols , and those who do should , perhaps , labor to see its wider implications .\nwith another us election approaching , and the egyptian government suddenly under the control of the muslim brotherhood , klein and sadek joined nakoula in preparing what would be their greatest propaganda stunt to date : the innocence of muslims . as soon as the film appeared on youtube , sadek promoted it on his website , transforming the obscure clip into a viral source of outrage in the middle east . and like clockwork , on september 11 , crowds of muslim protesters stormed the walls of the us embassy in cairo , demanding retribution for the insult to the prophet muhammad . the demonstrations ricocheted into libya , where the deadly attack that may have been only peripherally related to the film occurred .\nthrough these q & as ; , have you noticed that people in the audience have preconceived ideas that they stick to or does the film actually change the way they think about these issues ? my line now is ,\nit ' s not about conversion ; it ' s conversation .\nfirst of all , most people who see the movie have never heard of\nthe protocols of zion .\nunlike a lot of people i spoke to , they ' re not experts in the field of hatred . so they ' ve never even heard of the thing . some had heard the rumors post - 9 / 11 , but it ' s an eye - opener . i guess the biggest thing is some people leave saying ,\noh my god , this is frightening and depressing .\nand others say ,\ni ' ve actually been inspired . i want to get involved . i want to know what i can do .\ni think those are the biggest divergent reactions .\naccording to an actor in the film , the all - volunteer cast was deceived into believing they were acting in a benign biblical epic about\nhow things were 2 , 000 years ago\n. the script was titled desert warrior , and its contents made no mention of muhammad \u2013 his name was dubbed into the film during post - production . on the set , a gray - haired egyptian man who identified himself only as\nsam\n( nakoula ) chatted aimlessly in arabic with a group of friends while posing as the director . a casting notice for desert warrior listed the film ' s real director as\nalan roberts\n. this could likewise be a pseudonym , although there is a veteran hollywood hand responsible for such masterpieces as the happy hooker goes hollywood and the sexpert who goes by the same name .\nit comes from all directions and now with this blog we enter the wild world of the web . hopefully , i can give you some sense of what the journey is like over the next few months . the film opens on oct . 21 in new york and la and then rolls out across the us and canada .\nproduced and promoted by a strange collection of rightwing christian evangelicals and exiled egyptian copts , the trailer was created with the intention of both destabilizing post - mubarak egypt and roiling the us presidential election . as a consultant for the film named steve klein said :\nwe went into this knowing this was probably going to happen .\nmuch of this documentary , however , is anything but amusing . the film takes as its symbolic subject\nthe protocols of the elders of zion ,\na document first distributed a century ago , purporting to reveal a secret jewish plan to rule the world . ( it was exposed as a forgery in the 1920 ' s , but you can buy it in paperback on amazon . com . ) as a parallel , mr . levin addresses a more recent example of anti - semitic propaganda : the widespread assertion that no jews died in the sept . 11 world trade center attack because they had been warned to stay home that day . in the united states , mr . levin talks to sidewalk preachers and opinionated young people who use coined words like jewmerica . he interviews the creator of the web site jew watch and the publisher of the arab voice . he shows scenes from anti - semitic mini - series broadcast in egypt . he throws in a 2003 speech by the former prime minister of malaysia in which he stated that\njews rule the world by proxy .\nuncomfortable just because it brings attention to the existence of\nthe protocols\n? exactly . my kids had never heard of the book . most of my friends hadn ' t . i think there are some people who say it ' s better not to even mention this thing . better to just bury it or burn it , and i obviously feel differently .\n\u201cok . , so far we\u2019re talking . and the protocols pamphlet ? \u201ci have no idea , \u201d said mr . shabazz , \u201cwhether it is true or false . \u201d eric toure muhammad , executive director of the black african holocaust council , also voiced his suspicions , \u201ci have no proof , \u201d he said , \u201cthat it\u2019s a fabrication . i\u2019m not here to say that i believe in it . however , it is uncanny how so many similarities in terms of what we see in the world today fit those protocols . \u201d o . k . , less constructive .\nafterwards david d ' arcy of npr moderated a panel discussion with rabbi abraham cooper , ( simon wiesenthal center ) david van biema , ( time magazine editor of religious affairs ) , and mehdi elieffi , ( arab american community leader ) and then there was a spirited but civil and thoughtful q & a . ; mr . shabazz raised questions about who the real semites were and the treatment of the palestinians . mr . muhammad asked about hbo ' s involvement in the production and my attempts to interview minister farrakahn . he also felt that the film did not necessarily disprove the protocols . the exchanges were intense , heartfelt and respectful .\nthe protocols was obviously a very personal project for levin , his chance to get at the eternal question : why always the jews ? it was inspired by a single conversation the filmmaker had with an arab cabdriver who was convinced that israel was behind the 9 - 11 attacks . how did the cab driver know this ? because he had read it in the book\nthe protocols of the elders of zion .\nthe century - old book purports to be the minutes of a secret meeting of jewish leaders in which they lay out their plans for world domination . in fact , it ' s a fraud ; most of the book was plagiarized from earlier works of fiction . mainstream western society declared it out - of - bounds over 80 years ago . yet as levin documents the book remains remarkably popular both on the fringes of american society and throughout the arab and muslim worlds . levin tries to get to the bottom of this by interviewing neo - nazis , palestinians , radical black activists , conspiracy theorists , christian evangelical leaders and various jews . the most fascinating and disturbing bits are clips from arab tv shows which dramatize the protocols as if they were historical fact . he never quite gets to the bottom of it - - he ' s not exactly the most probing of interviewers - - but the results are never less than fascinating . he deserves enormous credit for his bravery in talking to many of these people as well as his willingness to explore the\ndon ' t go there\nareas of jewish conspiracy myths . watch it with some friends then go to a coffee shop and have a good discussion .\none of the most interesting ones i did last week in chicago . as part of their film festival , they have an outreach program , 500 inner city kids from the top public high schools in chicago . that was wild , to see people really get involved and asking themselves tough questions and struggling with their stereotypes . it ' s been fascinating .\nthen one of the other men he came with , eric ture muhammad , approached and shook my hand and said ,\ni came up all the way from alabama with mixed emotions . but the moment i saw that picture of che guevera in your father ' s home my heart opened . the father son story in the film spoke to me and reminded me of my relationship with my father , stokley carmichael .\n( one of the original black panthers of the sixties who popularized the slogan , \u201cblack power . \u201d )\n\u201ci hope that one day there will come a time when no one will any longer comprehend how in the year 1935 almost a dozen fully sensible and reasonable men could for fourteen days torment their brains before a court of berne over the authenticity or lack of authenticity of these so - called protocols . . . that , for all the harm they have already caused and may yet cause , are nothing but ridiculous nonsense . \u201d\nexcuse me marty , i wanted to do a gonzo film without talking heads , experts , academics , and pundits like you . if it bothers you , well it bothers me that you didn\u2019t bother to check out my body of work with street gangs , mobsters , cia operators , anti abortion terrorists , prisoners , drug dealers , religious zealots , and extremists of all stripes . then you might have had a better understanding of my approach .\nso what really was the impetus for making this film now ? the inciting incident was an encounter with a new york city taxi driver who was an egyptian immigrant who believed in\nthe protocols\nand told me about the rumor about no jews dying on 9 / 11 . then i saw the two television series that were being shown [ during the islamic holiday ] ramadan , first the egyptian one and then the diaspora , the syrian / lebanese one , which you see clips from in the film . i read that tens of millions of muslims were watching this 40 nights in a row and not looking at it as just a miniseries but as actual history \u2013 a 40 hour miniseries ; it was unbelievable . i was like ,\ntens of millions of people are watching this stuff , and they think it ' s history . exactly who are we hiding this book from ? ourselves .\nand that ' s kind of where it started . i said , alright , i ' m going to jump into the middle , and take it to the streets just to find out , just to start to see what ' s happening . obviously with the iraq invasion and [ the release of ] the passion of the christ , the intifada in israel , just the whole world situation kind of escalated as i started making it , and it kind of just grew .\nm father was the last thing we added to the film . it was some of the earliest stuff i shot , and i really shot it more just to get grounded and really to have for my children and my sisters and their families , to capture my father when he ' s still on the top of his game . but it wasn ' t in the first cut . when we showed that cut , the reaction from the small group of people we screened it to , they were numb . it was just an overdose of hate . they said ,\nyou need some other emotions in this film .\nso that weekend my editor ken eluto came in and played around with some of the footage of my father that we had shot . when i came in on monday , he said take a look at this , and it was surprising . i see what people are saying : the love of family , and father and son , a whole other feeling\nyou ' ve been doing events like the one at lincoln center tonight ) around the country for a few weeks . what kind of reaction have you been receiving ? it ' s sensational . in terms of the q & a ; , it ' s so interesting . this is a film that obviously leaves people wanting to ask questions and discuss these things which is really the purpose . you need to talk about it .\nhow did you first hear of\nthe protocols\n? i read\nthe protocols\nback in the ' 70s . i was just curious about history and conspiracies . i grew - up in the ' 60s so the kennedy assassination and other conspiracies interested me . when somebody said to me ,\nhey do you want to read the mother of all conspiracies ?\nand i said ,\nwhat ' s that ?\nthe jewish conspiracy . check this out .\nand i read it like it was an artifact of an age long gone . it read like a superhero comic , a kind of byzantine comic book . and if anyone had told me in the mid - 70s that this thing was going to come back and be in any way relevant or referred to in the 21st century , i would have thought they were out of their minds .\nmaybe we can show the film in baghdad , marty , to the anti - american islamic extremists and street people we\u2019ve empowered . if only you neo - cons had listened to the wisdom of the street instead of the slick hustlers who took our tax dollars and promised a quick and easy victory . now look at the mess we ' re in and ask yourself ,\nwho is really giving us jews a bad name ?\nthe leader of the jdo did show up at the screening the next evening at the jewish historical society . surprisingly , he said he liked the film . but when he went into his harangue about why i shouldn\u2019t meet with jew haters like shabazz , the audience quickly tired of the bombast and asked him to ask a question and sit down . he was harmless , more buffoon than brown shirt . he huffed and he puffed and he blew himself down .\nwell , and the ironic thing is that someone who believes in\nthe protocols\nmight say that the fact that the jewish community doesn ' t want this discussed is because maybe marc levin doesn ' t know that there really is a conspiracy and the community is trying to keep it quiet . i agree . that is another side of the coin . it ' s not totally surprising though . i understand that the jewish establishment is powerful and makes a lot of films . there are plenty of other people to do the history of anti - semitism or the true deconstruction of\nthe protocols\n\u2013 the actual history of the document \u2013 or to do a study on religious hate and talk to professors and scientists . there are a lot of people who can make those films , and they are being made , and i think that ' s good . i ' m all for it . but there aren ' t a lot of people who are equipped to have this kind of dialogue that i was prepared for because of my experience . so i thought it was a strength to be a maverick and i still do . and not an institutional representative because i ' m just here as a filmmaker .\nwhat was your process like making this film . was it the same as on your previous documentaries ? you obviously couldn ' t have everything planned out because you don ' t know what people are going to say to you ; the movie is sort of a diary of your investigation . so did you just have the idea and then let it flow wherever it took you ? and since you obviously spent a couple years shooting , how did you know when you were done ? i would say that this is the most free - flowing of my films . each film is a little different , but certainly because i was doing it myself , and it was independent , this is in many ways the most jazz - like and organic film i ' ve made . but there was , you know , an outline which was basically start with the rumor that had hit the streets [ that no jews died on 9 / 11 ] ; talk to the people who were promoting it , believing it , proselytizing it , spreading the book and tying it to 9 / 11 ; and somehow factor in some of the back story \u2013 it ' s hard to understand any of this unless you do understand the deicide charge that for 2000 years jews were seen as christ killers , so the passion worked into that ; acknowledge that the middle east conflict has only inflamed all sides ; and somehow finish up on the third anniversary of 9 / 11 with the names of hundreds of jews that were killed .\ni don\u2019t know what kind of evidence they are looking for . when we were shooting the film we went to the medical examiners office to find out how many jews died on 9 - 11 . we were told that the ny medical examiner does not identify deceased by their religion . but as the lead investigator shiya ribowski passionately pointed out , \u201chundreds of jews died on 9 - 11 . i know i identified their remains . i worked with their families and attended their funerals . \u201d\ni was under no illusion that he was going to have a conversion experience . he wasn ' t invited to be on the panel . he and his associates were simply invited to see the film and then join in the question and answer session after the panel discussion . my simple hope was that because the million more march was 3 weeks away , this might be an opportune moment to modify the tone of some of the exchanges between the more militant african american community and the jews .\nwhen we started organizing this event , i was asked to invite people who were in the film . there is a scene we shot in trenton state prison with a group of inmates . some of them were members of the nation of islam . obviously they were not able to come , although we are trying to arrange a screening in this maximum security prison . they work with a community activist , emmanuel avraham , who runs the life skills program , which helps ex - cons and gang members re - enter society . they asked him if they could invite some members of the nationalist movement to the screening . he relayed the request and i said ok .\na documentary about the rise of anti - semitism in the usa after the terrorist attacks of september 11 , 2001 .\ncbsn : on assignment\nep . 2 : guns of chicago ; enemy of the state ; muslims love me\nwhile you state the case and present evidence that\nthe protocols\nis a forgery and jews did die on 9 / 11 , the majority of what you see and hear in the film is , in fact , people who believe the rumors and the likelihood of this jewish conspiracy . do you worry that maybe people will miss what is actually your point ? for me , it is always most powerful when people reveal themselves . you don ' t have an expert telling you ,\nthis is why nazis do this .\nyou see and you judge for yourself . so in terms of the personal journey of the film , i wanted to look into their eyes . i want to try to figure out where is this coming from . i ' ve heard this 100 times , but let me try to get a little deeper . and also , i want to arm myself . intelligence \u2013 think about it , in terms of our greatest failure in this so - called war on terror : we have no idea what these people think . we have no idea how to get inside their heads . that ' s the biggest failure there is . and so the most frustrating thing for me about this process has been the ongoing problem with so many in the jewish community who basically feel ,\nlet ' s not talk about it . why the hell do you let any of these people talk . it ' s best just left buried and undiscussed .\nand in that sense they don ' t even want people to see the movie ."]}

multiple third - party notifications of copyright infringement .\nover the years tamil cinema has produced some independent movies with zero star power and the limited budget that created trends . although they are far and few , the impact they have created in the world of tamil cinema is beyond imagination . the 21st movie , oru thalai raagam , is one such and created a trend that shaped our 80s cinema .\noru thalai raagam is a story of unrequited love between two young college students who hide their love for each other due to different reasons . raja ( shankar panikkar ) falls in love with his classmate subhadra ( roopa ) at first sight . an introvert , raja fears that conservative subhadra would reject him . subhadra shows cold shoulders even when raja tries to talk to her . although subhadra secretly loves raja , she fails to express her feelings due to her family constraints . although their friends try to bring them together , the unspoken love treads to an emotional and heartbreaking end . the movie also had vaagai chandrasekhar as one of the cynical friends of raja and usha ( later became usha rajendar ) as a friend who helps subhadra . thiyagu and ravinder did significant roles in the movie .\nt . rajendar wrote the movie . he also wrote the songs and composed the music . the duo of robert - rajasekar ( who later became successful directors ) wielded the camera , and the direction is credited to em ibrahim , who also produced the movie . but it\u2019s widely believed that t . rajendar ghost - directed the film and he has claimed that in different forums . it is said that he had a fallout with the producer at the last moment and he was left uncredited . there are rumours that robert \u2013 rajasekhar could have directed the movie . it\u2019s still a mystery , officially .\n1 . the movie was the first movie to deal the love story of ordinary people . an introvert hero and an extremely conservative heroine were new to tamil cinema . this grounded approach to the story related well to the audience . in fact , the hero and the heroine never speak to each other in the whole movie ( no . i am not kidding )\n2 . the wonderfully written screenplay and the brilliant portrayals by the lead actors made it more enjoyable . vaagai chandrasekhar\u2019s role was critically acclaimed and established him as one of the leading character artists of the future .\n3 . sweet , soulful lyrics and music from t rajendar . the lyrics used was more simple and had a conversational tone . the music was a runaway hit and helped a lot to the success of the movie . songs like vasamilla malarithu , idhu kuzhandhai paadum thaalatu , en kadhai mudiyum neramithu and naan oru raasi illa raja are still remembered and revered .\n1 . the trend it created . you can\u2019t count the number of one side love stories and the college love stories that spawned because of this movie . the movie was a cult hit among the college - going youth of those days . ask your dads and uncles ; they will have a story to tell you about this movie .\n2 . the film gave the confidence to many independent movie directors to try out their storytelling abilities . there were hits and misses , but it did prolong the wave of new age cinema making in tamil cinema that was started by directors like bharathiraja\n3 . oru thalai raagam was the first real campus movie that became a massive hit among the youth .\n1 . t rajendar , robert and rajasekhar were products of adyar film institute .\n2 . the movie ran for more than 365 days in alankar theatre ( now defunct ) in chennai . can you imagine an indie film running for such long in the current situation ?\n4 . shankar panniker became a star in malayalam , and the movie was dubbed in malayalam to cash in on his popularity . roopa acted in a few critically acclaimed films like echil iravugal , but she has been added to the \u201cmissing\u201d list .\n5 . t rajendar became one of the most successful directors of that era . he writes , acts and even does the art direction for his movies . his songs are popular due to the simple rhyming lyric and extravagant sets . mythili ennai kadhali ( the first tamil movie i watched ) , uyirullavarai usha , oru thayin sabatham , rayil payanangalil , samsara sangeetham were his most successful and popular movies . although lately , he has become a subject of mockery in social media circles , the legacy he created is unbeatable . if you are a tamil movie buff , it\u2019s advisable to have a look at the movies he produced .\n6 . the college scenes in the film were not shot at the arts college in poondi near thanjavur as popularly believed . the scenes were shot at avc college , mayiladuthurai\n7 . there is still dispute about who directed the movie . it\u2019s an intriguing mystery about one of the cult movies of tamil cinema .\n8 . t rajendar\u2019s original title for the movie was \u201cthadai podum megangal\u201d but changed it due to producer\u2019s request .\n9 . shankar directed a movie titled \u201cmanal nagaram\u201d but the movie didn\u2019t do well . the audio release function became a reunion of sorts for oru thalai raagam crew .\nthanks for the comment prashanth . most of the people undermine the impact of this movie in tamil cinema .\nnice blog . i thought tr\u2019s future wife ( usha ) portrayed a lot of subtlety in her thozhi role . the scene where she visits shankar at his house and has tea with him was outstanding . too bad she doesnt seem to have acted much elsewhere .\never green movie oru thalai raagam .

born luchador fernando os\u00e9s in the films el cerebro del mal and hombres infernales hardly registered when they were released in 1958 . it wasn\u2019t until a few years later , in 1961 , that el santo burst onto the mexican film scene with santo contra los zombis , a film directed by benito alazraki that set the stage for glut of pulpy wrestling films that would dominate mexican screens for nearly two decades .\nin machete , during the invasion of sartana ' s apartment , one of the mooks wears a luchador mask .\nlucha libre , indeed , became so popular , that mexico\u2019s comparatively small filmmaking industry was quick to pick up luchadors as film heroes . the first feature film to star a luchador was the obscure 1952 film hurac\u00e1n ram\u00edrez , a mild success in its day . despite the obscurity and dubious artistic merit of the film , it launched a trend . a subgenre was born . soon all manner of luchadors began appearing in films , and real - life kings of the ring began to make the transition to film . some film scholars have numbered luchador films at about 150 , but it\u2019s more likely that there are hundreds more low - budget mexican wrestling films that are lost to history .\ni recall seeing luchador films on the spanish - language tv stations as a child . these were films unlike any i had seen before . they resembled low - budget american monster films in many ways ( they often had monsters or vampires in them ) , but had a strange kind of earnest energy to them that i couldn\u2019t describe . there was an efficiency to the storytelling that american filmmakers rarely captured . these were films that existed solely to lionize an already - popular folk hero , playing himself , and extend his myth into a supernatural place where he would defeat all his opponents in the ring , best any supernatural monster that beset him , and still have time to wear nice suits , drive nice cars , and pick up beautiful mexican women . they were shamelessly self - aggrandizing , always very cheap ( none of the luchador films had big budgets ) , and often hopelessly convoluted . but they had something many exploitation movies of the america lacked : they had a myth .\nworld wonder ring stardom ' s mask fiesta turns everyone who is not already a masked luchador one for the night .\nluchador films enjoyed a cult audience in america thanks to a film producer named k . gordon murray ( 1922 - 1979 ) , a well - known exporter of fantasy b - movies and an exploitation luminary . any semi - serious student of trash cinema ought to know the name of k . gordon murray . murray would travel to other countries , find some of the little - known fairy tale films , and redub them into english for american audiences . he\u2019s often cited as one of the kings of the early 1950s \u201ckiddie matinees , \u201d back in the day when children\u2019s features were shown in local american cinemas before the more grown - up fare later in the evening . films like santa claus ( 1959 ) , the robot vs . the aztec mummy ( 1957 ) , and the golden goose ( 1969 ) are well known to a generation of trash - film lovers thanks to murray . some of his films , in turn , became featured on mystery science theater 3000 , and the generational trash torch was passed . murray was the one who carried the luchador films to the u . s . , sometimes ( bafflingly ) redubbing el santo\u2019s name as \u201csampson . \u201d the kids who grew up looking through the back corners of uhf stations would find luchador movies sandwiched in between lesser - known japanese kaiju films . nothing can be more striking that discovering these movies at just the right age .\npadre fray tormenta has inspired films and wrestled all over the world , but he never sought out fame ; all he wanted was to support the orphans of his parish .\nwhile following a familiar formula of el santo vs . some supernatural enemy menacing humanity , santo contra las mujeres vampiro brought significantly higher production values and gave the luchador an elaborate mythology that places this amongst his greatest films . when the evil leader of a vampire coven kidnaps a professor\u2019s daughter to bring his bride back to life , el santo is sent in to take on an army of luchador slaves and get her back home safe .\nbane is partly luchador -

rock band the justice force 5 is a vampire luchador . well , not really , but that ' s his gimmick .\ncheesy , fun , trashy , cheap , sporty , and tapping into the unfettered myth of a local people , luchador films are unique in the annals of cinema . if you want a regular old superhero story , go ahead and watch the dark knight again . if you want a truly epic hero , watch el santo at work . he is more important than batman .\nthe mascot of koodo mobile is an incredible shrinking luchador named el tabador , named such because the company allows you to have a tab instead of a contract .\n, one of the vandenreich members is sternritter\ns\n, mask de masculine , a luchador . he manages to invert the character archetype and play it straight\nas well as santo being a kind of saintly , moral guide , in this film he also takes it upon himself to become an orphaned young boy\u2019s guardian or father figure . while many of the stories are fantastic , some can involve a historical or mythic figure and a familiar place . for example , santo en \u201cel tesoro de moctezuma\u201d ( santo in \u201cthe treasure of moctezuma\u201d , 1967 ) , santo contra los cazadores de cabezas ( santo versus the headhunters , 1969 ) , las momias de guanajuato ( the mummies of guanajuato , 1970 ) , and the various films which invoke el d\u00eda de los muertes ( the day of the dead ) , such as santo en \u201clos profanadores de tumbas\u201d ( santo in \u201cthe grave robbers\u201d , 1965 ) , and santo y blue demon en el mundo de los muertos ( santo and the blue demon in the world of the dead , 1969 ) . yet , none of these films deal with thematic elements of the wrestling genre . they are not interested in the struggles , brutality or raise and fall of santo , or any other luchador . even through in these films santo wrestles both in and outside the ring , there is only ever minor discussion of the fact that he is a luchad or . the audience brings to the films a prior understanding of santo , so there is no need for the films to establish his status . what we find is the direct transference of lucha libre matches into these hybrid films .\nthe true luchador wears , on his head , a mask . on his body , a sequined unitard . on his feet . . . disco boots !\nin lobster johnson : the iron prometheus , it ' s mentioned that , in the 50 ' s , mexican director eduardo fernandez created somewhere between nine and twelve low -

based moves , but not all . then in\nthere ' s an entire luchador genre in mexico where the hero is a real luchador playing himself . the most popular series ( 52 films ! ) starred el santo , el enmascarado de plata ( saint , the silver - masked man ) . in these , el santo has to rescue his love interest du jour from some fantastic threat , such as zombies , vampires , or mad scientists . while the movies are pretty crude , many mexicans from the time , to current college students to even a few children still consider these movies an important part of mexico ' s film history and actually pretty entertaining .\n7 . elsewhere i have discussed the ritual elements of cinema , specifically in the western . see gabrielle murray , this wounded cinema , this wounded life : violence and utopia in the films of sam peckinpah ( connecticut : praeger , 2004 ) .\nin the amazing spider man , peter gets the initial idea for the spider -

run as nwa world welterweight champion , defeating santo for the title in 1953 , and holding it until 1958 . the demon - santo rivalry never truly died ; they weren ' t friends in real life , though the two starred in nine luchador films together ( demon starred in 25 films altogether from 1964 - 1977 ) . throughout the 1960s , he had a heated rivalry with el rayo de jalisco . the rivalry would span into the late 1980s , defeating him in a mask vs . mask match in 1988 .\nan episode of the middleman featured a gang of luchadores obsessed with killing the middleman ' s martial arts trainer and mentor , sensei ping ( who also , incidentally , wore the mask of a luchador ) .\nspeaking of the macho man , he also voices the superhuman luchador\nwrass - lor\nin an episode of dial m for monkey . the plot :\nfight me or i destroy the earth !\nfrom there it took several decades before guzm\u00e1n\u2019s career took off , and he wrestled under a number of monikers \u2013 including el hombre rojo and el demonio negro \u2013 before settling on the saintly title that would define his career . but beyond his beloved persona inside the ring , el santo solidified his status as mexico\u2019s quintessential masked luchador through a whole network of pop culture spinoffs , including a comic book series and , most notably , the 52 wrestling - themed films that cemented his legend on the silver screen .\nthe legendary blue demon , alejandro munoz moreno who made his debut a few years after el santo in march 1948 , also retired years after el santo , in 1989 . also making a massive impact in the history of mexico , the blue demon with his legendary blue mask had his first encounter with el santo in 1952 . blue demon who held the championship until 1958 defeated the famous el santo , who was the nwa world welterweight champion in 1952 and 1953 . the two famous wrestlers remained rivals although they also featured in mexican films together . in 1961 blue demon appeared in one of his first ever mexican films , an overall of 25 films , nine of which he costarred with his rival el santo . the producer of most of el santo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s movies was ready to cultivate yet another wrestler cum movie star with blue demon who also continued his wrestling career until his retirement .\nthe movie was part of a tide of luchador films that swept mexico from the 1950s through the 1970s . the country ' s most iconic wrestlers , el santo and blue demon , gained their greatest fame as movie stars fighting zombies , aliens , and vampires . el se\u00f1or tormenta was a minor wrestling film . it did feature a couple of big names , black shadow and cavernario galindo ( he dressed as a caveman ) , but only in supporting parts . what makes the movie special is that it came true .\noh the varieties of lucha libre are endless . there are luchadors who dress as cats . there are dwarf luchador divisions . there are female luchador divisions . each lucha match is usually a rudo ( the bad guy ) vs . a t\u00e9cnico ( the good guy ) . the luchadors would invent entire personae for themselves , giving themselves mysterious histories and elaborate in - ring personalities . this is another tradition that has passed into american pro - wrestling .\nin kenichi : the mightiest disciple , a villainous luchador shows up to be trashed by kenichi ' s masters a few times . later the manga introduces the much more dangerous smiling fist diego carlos and his student rachel stanley .\none popular legend about fray tormenta is that he received specific permission from the vatican to be a luchador . this he denies . but in other interviews , he has mentioned that he received the blessing of pope john paul ii .\nnew leaf introduces a villager actually named\nlucha\n. he ' s a bird with a face that ' s stylized to look like a lucha mask . another villager with a luchador theme is stinky , a jock cat .\nthe films were made quickly and cheaply , and while a modern audience is more likely to be reminded of adam west - era batman , they were successful enough to open the floodgates for mexico\u2019s luchadoras ( wrestling women ) as well as various imitators . here are the 10 pictures you need to check out .\njaime reyes , the third blue beetle , wears an armor with a faceplate that just happens to look like a luchador mask to go with his mexican heritage . done intentionally and explained as the mask being modeled after its creators ' faces .\nthere is no attempt in these films to create an aesthetic integration between the wrestling and other generic elements . although in real life santo lost some of his wrestling matches , in the films he might lose a bout but he ultimately always wins . the films literally intercut large sections of recorded and sometimes staged footage of often complete lucha libre matches . generally there are at least two sections of lucha libre that can run from seven to fifteen minutes in any of the el santo films , which run between eighty to ninety - five minutes . so the wrestling matches can take approximately between fifteen to thirty minutes of the reel time . sometimes a match will open a film , sometimes conclude it , or a story will be interrupted to allow santoto fight . although the film santo contra la invasion de los marcianos integrates the fantasy story and the wrestling , ultimately concluding with santo fighting a martian in the ring ; there is rarely any attempt to introduce the wrestling matches or integrate them into the story other than a casual comment from santo that he needs to retire or leave as he has a fight . the real - live footage is in particularly sharp contrast to the general b grade fantasy and crime aesthetic . it inverts the way the lucha libre arena functions , in which we go from the everyday into a frenzied , circus atmosphere . in the films , the wrestling footage works against the fantasy aesthetic to generate something \u201creal\u201d\u2014a kind of social realist or documentary feel that acts as a point of direct contact with the ritual performance of lucha libre . furthermore , while the action is sometimes heightened by the introduction of the re - enactment of close - ups of certain stunts that the single roving camera used at the lucha libre has missed , the audience is often in the background . the distancing of the audience is then compensated for by cut - aways to both real and studio audiences . so the films attempt to literally reanimate the experience of lucha libre .\ni should point out that el santo\u2019s movies , as well as the vast bulk of lucha movies , were hardly professional . they were badly lit , the sound was rarely properly audible , the stories would meander , and the dialogue ( dubbed or not ) would contain some of the weirdest mutilations of english ( or spanish ) this side of an ed wood movie . by all conventional professional accounts , these were bad films . like all b - movies , the lucha films were often produced quickly and on the cheap . studios would release several in the span of a year . like slasher films today , studios saw lucha films as a quick buck , as people would see them even if they weren\u2019t expensively made . i wouldn\u2019t have it any other way . a slick , big - budget version of an el santo movie would only serve to erode its charm . there is a certain joy in the earnestness of a badly made film . el santo was so , well , saintly , that his heroic purity would only be amplified by the film\u2019s cheapness . there was something about el santo \u2013 some \u201cit\u201d quality \u2013 that left him untainted , no matter how much canonical double - backing and confusion he had applied to him . he was like superman , but with the benefit of being a real athlete .\njohnny\nthe mayor\nbledsoe , the mayor of hill valley on the bizarre the oblongs , wore a luchador mask ( and a business suit ) , although he acted more like an american wrestler\u2014\nmacho man\nrandy savage , specifically .\non a sunday evening in compton , california , a crowd slowly enters an old dance hall . tonight it will house a very different type of dancing -

team partner .\nhe is our lucha libre priest . for me it ' s an honor , considering his age , to have wrestled alongside him .\nthe masked luchador is a particularly popular character in modern surf music . there are several bands that wear mexican wrestling masks and adopt mexican - sounding names as part of their stage shows , or even write songs about lucha films and luchadores ( the song los campiones del justicio by the ghastly ones ) . it is believed that the american surf band los straitjackets is responsible for this , as they adopted the masks early in their career and subsequently made the genre popular through mexico because of this , spanning bands like sr . bikini or the blue demons , all adopting the masks and hiding identity . there ' s even a french surf band adopting the masks , called the bikini men .\nstrangely enough , the mexican wrestling masks have been also adopted by several goregrind and grindcore bands , most notably gut from germany . even more strange , the porno - grind bands seem to have an affinity for the masked luchador : gut of course , but check guys like ultimo mondo cannibale or spasm .\nin 1952 , a publisher named jose cruz started a comic book featuring santo\u2019s adventures fighting crimes and monsters , while also continuing to wrestle . the comic books portrayed santo as a superhero although until then he had performed as a rudo in the ring . but with the creation of the comic book and his increasing popularity , it was decided that he should undergo a gradual change and eventually become a t\u00e9cnico ( cotter 2005 , 22 ) . considered one of the most famous superhero comic books in mexico , it ran continuously for 35 years . 3 santo\u2019s status as a luchador and therefore a \u201cpopular hero , \u201d along with the comic books , further developed his hero status with mexican audiences . although initially declining film offers , the success of the comic books encouraged him to appear in films . he first appeared in cerebro del mal ( brain of evil ) in 1958 ; however , it was in 1961 that producer alberto lopez hired him to star as \u201cel santo\u201d in the classic santo contra los zombies ( santo versus the zombies ) . between 1958 and 1982 , santo starred in fifty - two mexican films as \u201cel santo\u201d .\nwhat could have been example : hideo kojima ' s first draft for the war - based game he was told to design was a game called lost warld , starring a masked luchadora ( a female luchador ) . tragically , the game got canned , and now all we have is this boring snake guy instead .\nthe finest of all lucha films is widely held to be the 1962 classic santo contra mujeres vampiro , as it was one of the first santo film to give him a sort of background as a crimefighter , and regular battler of evil monsters . lucha films place their heroes somewhere between the real and the fanciful . they seem to be making part - documentaries about their subjects , despite the presence of vampire women and cheesy special effects . no other fantasy film has that quality . i\u2019ve heard some argue that comic book superheroes of today are as important to us as greek heroes like odysseus were to the ancient greeks . this is not entirely accurate . the luchadors are perhaps a bit more of an appropriate analogy . odysseus was a half - real hero who was aided by gods . el santo , one could argue , fits that mold perfectly .\nhistorically , many of the luchadors have often worn a saintly mantle due to their involvement in charity work , social justice , and politics . super barrio , champion of the rights of mexico\u2019s poor , went into politics and joined the leftist prd ( partido de la revoluc\u00edon democr\u00e1tica , all party of the democratic revolution ) . a crowd favorite , mr niebla is known outside the ring for his charitable work with disabled children . in mexico , the sport has also inspired a subculture of political activists who advocate their causes dressed in lucha libre garb . there is super ecologist , fighter for environmental causes ; and super gay and super animal , masked crusaders for gay and animal rights . as a t\u00e9cnico santo brings to the el santo films this same heroic , saintly aura . he is a fighter for good , a masked figure the audience instantly recognizes . he is familiar because he is one of them but somehow he is also different : an invincible , powerful , authority figure . the audience\u2019s champion , he conquers evil and enables justice to be carried out . yet the el santo films do more than just transfer the personae of santo to the screen , by intercutting real and staged footage of wrestling matchesthe films attempt to literally reproduce for the audience the ritual functions of lucha libre .\nel santo\u2019s films were full of action and supernatural intrigue , but they walked a fine comedic line that gave them a campy , surrealist touch . the excessive twists and turns of this particular film , in which a bumbling security guard disguises himself as el santo to take on a criminal gang that has kidnapped a scientist and his daughter , take a nosedive into the absurd when el santo and said security guard must fight off the security guard\u2019s evil clone .\nlala ' s dad in school rumble is a luchador . tenma is a bit of a lucha libre fan , and both she and karen don her mask on occasion , confounding lala who can ' t believe the disparity in her power ( as karen is the only girl who has defeated lala , while tenma cannot fight at all ) .\nmasked heroes were popular in the 1930s , the decade that saw the introduction of the lone ranger , the green hornet and batman . in mexico , crowds flocked to see masked combatants wrestle each other into submission , with each luchador giving such a theatrical performance that audiences knew who was the tecnico ( good guy ) and who was the rudo ( villain ) .\nlas luchadoras were a female tag team ( lorena vel\u00e1zquez and gringa actress elizabeth campbell ) who starred in six films , some of which made it into the english - language market ( e . g . , wrestling women vs . the aztec mummy ) . the stars were actresses , not professional wrestlers . lady luchadoras did exist at the time , but few had movie - star good looks and most wouldn ' t be recognized by the mexican comision de box y lucha libre until the 1980s .\nlucha films are really effing weird . the wrestlers , playing themselves , would often be recast as well - dressed ladies\u2019 men ( but never lotharios ) who would jet set around town , attending classy parties , and blessing the community with their presence . they never removed their masks . they were perfect , peerless heroes , capable of being wealthy , but still helping the little people . they would never fight for the wrong reason . they would wrestle with honor . then , to get the story going , they would be given an antagonist whom they would eventually have to fight . the antagonist in luchador films , though , was very rarely just another wrestler . it was usually a famous monster of some kind . in his film career , el santo fought dracula , a mummy , a banshee , a werewolf , frankenstein\u2019s monster , and sexy vampire women . in one notable film , el santo teamed up with the very popular blue demon to fight a monster mash of several beasties . the 1969 film santo y blue demon contra los monstruos featured a sci - fi lab that simultaneously brainwashed a mummy , frankenstein\u2019s monster ( sporting a bandito mustache ) , a wolf man , and some sort of lizard dwarf creature with an exposed brain . the film looks as if someone cracked open my ten - year - old brain , and let every unfettered pop culture fantasy free .\nin santo , el enmascarado de plata \u00e1lvaron a . fern\u00e1ndez reyes notes that within the immense cultural productions of modern mexico , the ritual and myths that revolve around the heroic figure of santo , are peculiarly diverse , embodying the creation of new traditions and the recuperation of old ones . santo is a \u201creal\u201d flesh and blood figure , the silver - masked wrestler ; he is the fictional wrestling star of crime , horror and fantasy films , a \u201csaint\u201d who battles bad guys , vampires and mummies , and for his predominately mexican audience , santo is a also a magical \u201csuperhero\u201d ( fern\u00e1ndez reyes 2004 ) . 1 to understand santo\u2019s immense popular appeal , we need to explore his different manifestations of wrestler , saint and superhero . in turn , this will enable us to investigate the generic hybridity of the films , whereby a noirish crime or a campy vampire tale will be interrupted to allow santo to engage in wrestling matches , with little attempt within the narrative , or in the film\u2019s aesthetic sensibility to integrate the matches .\npadre sergio fell by the wayside as more and more of his parishioners began to call him padre tormenta , or simply el fray . if his identity as a luchador was ever secret ( accounts conflict ) , the secret was not kept long . with his wrestling earnings , he was able to buy an actual building to house some of the boys , known affectionately as his cachorros , or cubs .\none of the sample characters in the martial arts supplement for gurps is\ndel duque\n, a heroic crimefighter in a luchador -

end superhero range ) .\nel santo made 52 lucha films in his vast and varied career , spanning from 1958 to 1982 . el santo retired in 1982 , in that he removed his mask on national television . this was the only time he was seen to remove his mask in public . he had a heart attack in 1984 , and died at the age of 66 . his legacy lives on in the cultural consciousness of the mexican world , and in the form of other wrestlers with names like el hijo del santo ( the son of the saint ) .\nthe sacred heart faith in after the end a crusader kings ii mod counts el santo among its patron deities . followers of el santo can become luchadores themselves , and face each other in wrestling matches - unlike in el santo ' s day , they fight for real . the sacred heart also has a holy order of luchador knights , la orden de la mascara ( the order of the mask ) .\nhomework for the week : they aren\u2019t widely available on home video or on downloading services , but see if you can track down any lucha films . if you live near the mexican border , find a flyer for a real - life lucha libre match , and try to attend . take part in mexico\u2019s grand tradition . consider the place fantasy heroes play in your life . how \u201creal\u201d are they in your mind ? how much cognitive space do they take up ? how does your view of your movie hero match with the world\u2019s perception of them ?\nyet if you are a fan , this period is considered the era of the \u2018golden age\u2019 of mexican b grade movies . much can be said about these films in relation to the way they display facets of the anxieties , repressions and fears of a particular social and cultural milieu . the main characters are nearly always played by actors who look european , and santo\u2019s string of girlfriends are often blondes . mestizos and indigenous people generally play peones , other worldly creatures , or enact tales from their own pre - hispanic history . there are occurrences of anti - semitism and racial stereotypes such as the dopey , easily frightened professor in santo en \u201c la venganza de la momia \u201d ( santo and \u201cthe vengeance of the mummy\u201d , 1970 ) ; or eric , the treasure - hungry , evil coward , who comes to an unfortunate end in santo y blue demon contra dracula y el hombre lobo ( santo and blue demon versus dracula and the wolf man , 1972 ) . yet the above film is interesting in that the wolf man , in human form , is played by a blonde - haired , blue - eyed pretty boy . there is also a reoccurring theme of both the celebration and fear of science , modernity and new technology . however , what becomes fascinating about these santo films is the way in which santo functions as a kind of cipher for both the ritual functions of lucha libre and ancient and modern myths . in fact , these films embody what nelson hippolyte ortega calls a \u201cstriking example of a very strong latin american cultural trait : the concomitant use of the old and the new , sometimes at the same time\u201d ( ortega 1998 , 80 ) .\nthis depression - era drama made headlines for being not only one of the best reviewed films of 2005 , but one of the least well attended . after four weeks of release the film had taken around us $ 50 million , which even during the box - office slump of the time was a disappointment , especially considering the good buzz . amc theatres hoped to keep the film and started a unique offer of a money - back guarantee . ticket buyers who did not like the film were promised that their money would be refunded , no questions asked .\n, the generic luchador . the twist is that he ' s canadian . while he ' s billed as being from tijuana , and speaks very little english when in character , what makes it funnier is that even if you don ' t know anything about the man under the mask , you can tell at first glance that he ' s really a white guy ; he ' s kind of pale , and he also sports a red goatee .\nel santo needs very little introduction around these parts . more than a beloved athlete or an iconic actor , the diminutive masked luchador truly deserves to be called a legend of mexican popular culture . over his 48 - year career , rodolfo guzm\u00e1n huerta truly lived the part of the wrestler - super hero he played on screen and in the arenas night after night , and his shining silver alter - ego has been woven into the fabric of mexican folklore .\ndespite the mask and attitude , japanese wrestler rainbow mika from street fighter alpha is a subversion . her and her fighting style are actually based off puroesu , a type of women ' s pro wrestling that originated in japan . she ' s often mistaken as a straight example of a masked luchador thanks to puroesu being relatively unknown outside of japan , and the fact that el fuerte happens to be a huge fan of hers doesn ' t help matters .\na chance meeting with mexican wrestler rolando vera got him interested in lucha libre wrestling . under the training of vera , he began wrestling without a mask in march 1948 . later in the year , he would return to mexico and adopt the persona of the blue demon . demon would form a tag team with fellow luchador the black shadow and became los hermanos shadow ( the shadow brothers ) . the partnership lasted until 1952 , when black shadow lost his mask to el santo .\nhomestar runner : strong bad ' s look is based on this , although the mask is apparently his actual face . he actually wrestles in a few toons , although he makes it clear in one of them that\nbeing an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves .\nfurthermore , in the same toon he goes through a variety of gimmicks none of which are the straight masked luchador gimmick \u2014 the final one even involves facepaint over his\nmask\n!\nthe stock characterization for a luchador is a kindly gentle giant who loves kids . this is from the story of fray tormenta ( friar storm ) , a catholic priest who started wrestling to earn money for his orphanage . villainous luchadores are pretty rare . outside mexico , though , where luchadores attract considerably less reverence , they ' re much more common - big burly dudes with concealed faces are scary , after all , and it ' s a good way to give your malevolent masked man some exotic flair .\na big influence in the evolution of the shocker mooks in the original kamen rider : initially the henchmen were guys in berets with creepy facepaint . in episode 14 , shocker brings in their top agent from mexico , a cactus - themed luchador - esque monster named sabetregon . he had his own personal minions , who dressed in black tights and wore lucha masks with a cactus on them . apparently , someone liked the look , because afterwards , the main shocker forces began wearing similar costumes , only with a skeleton motif replacing the cactus one .\nit ' s also not uncommon for non - luchadores to pretend to be one as a trick . if a heel does it , like when kurt angle became\nel gran luchador\nduring his feud with eddie guerrero , it ' s a sign of them being a devious wang , whereas if it ' s a face that pulls it off , like when kaz hayashi became\nel gringo\nfor a night , it ' s usually so they can get their hands on a cowardly heel who has been ducking them in straight - up fights .\nmost of the luchadors you see in lucha films were , you see , real - life wrestling champs outside of the film . known only by their specialty wrestling names , and never , ever seen without their masks , luchadors became local folk heroes of a sort . they would fight for their honor , and for the honor of their fans . despite the cartoony appeal they possess these days , luchadors were superhuman bastions of their communities . we know the names and histories of some of the more popular luchadors today , but mentioning the name of rodolfo guzm\u00e1n huerta will only elicit blank looks from most people . but watch their faces fly into expressions of ecstasy as you mention the hallowed named of el santo , the single biggest superstar in all lucha history .\ndiscover more esma animation movies by subscribing : urltoken d\u00e9couvrez encore plus de films d\u2019animation de l ' esma en vous abonnant : urltoken au mexique , deux grand -

ecole sup\u00e9rieure des m\u00e9tiers artistiques\nbetween the schlock scary premise and the occasional lapses into satisfying surrealism ( gotta love the killer robot which appears to be built out of old steam table parts ) , mil mascaras : resurrection rivals any super hero movie made in the mainstream . it provides enough fun to satisfy a schoolyard full of genre geeks , while never once looking down on or mocking its famed figurehead . anyone who knows the luchadore films understands that these are examples of pure hero worship , idolatry without a lick of irony or self - imposed satire . throw in a few flying drop kicks and you ' ve got yourself a franchise . besides , the audience believes in these men and they are not afraid to show their adoration . that ' s why mil mascaras : resurrection often feels like a religious experience . our lead is the messiah of the squared circle , a man beloved for his ability in the ring , and ethos outside of it . and his followers love every barrel - chested moment .\nin fact , the lack of legitimate violence ( there are a couple of minor gore effects ) and the constant recounting of mil ' s moralistic code makes a movie like resurrection appear greater than its goofball parts . after all , you wouldn ' t expect a narrative that features a ranting pile of bandages to offer up sound personal principles . and yet that ' s the key to the entire category ' s endearing timelessness . these films are really aimed at kids , lobbing life lessons over their head while keeping them on the straight and narrow . someone like mil mascaras offers up the valuable tutorials on such important issues as fair play , education , clean living , and the benefits of an unlimited sparkly wardrobe . sure , this could seem like reaching , especially when many of the old school storylines seemed to regress into good guy / bad being dullness . thanks to the careful consideration of ulhmann and his collaborators , mil mascaras : resurrection reestablishes the real legacy of the luchadore .\nbunny kisaragi from welcome to the el - paracio specifically evokes this image , being el - paracio ' s resident babyface and extremely popular with the neighborhood kids . the mask is actually an important part of her backstory , as she was driven to suicide for yet - unspecified reasons , only to be interrupted by ouka , who put a luchador mask on her head and convinced her to\nstart over from a clean slate\n, resulting in bunny refusing to acknowledge her former identity . as a result she practically never takes off her mask , even in the bath ( the one time she did , tadasuke saw her stepping out of the shower , making him the only person other than ouka who ' s seen her real face ) .\nmasked luchadors did not actually start in mexico , believe it or not , though no one is sure exactly where that was for certain ; the first man on record to wrestle professionally with a mask was the french\nmasked wrestler\nand the first to bring it into the country of mexico was known as\nthe masked marvel\n, and his secret identity gimmick had been going on long enough in the usa already for him to be a legacy character . still ,\nmaravilla enmascarada\ncaught on in mexico like nowhere else before , so emll booker salvador lutteroth tried to duplicate this success with el santo . in the end , maravilla ' s success wasn ' t duplicated but dwarfed , as el santo became mexico ' s most famous luchador .\nhe made his international debut in los angeles at the olympic auditorium in 1968 against american greats such as black gordman , john tolos , ernie ladd , and goliath . at the wwf , which is now called wwe he performed several times through the years until he won his title mexican wwa world heavyweight championship at the age of 49 . that was during the 1991 fight and this title he holds until today . in 1966 , mil mascaras starred in his first luchador film of which he completed 19 altogether while remaining a wrestler . the very same producer who turned el santo and blue demon into movie superstars took serious notice of this famous wrestler . el santo left the producer due to a contractual dispute , blue diamond was injured , and this was the opportunity for luis enrique vergara to transform yet another newcomer . a true mexican icon who made an impression on the world , mil mascaras took part in a tokyo event in december 2013 , with team mate don caras and won the tokyo world tag team championship .\ncast : mil mascaras , jeffrey uhlmann , willard e . pugh , gary ambrosia , richard lynch , marco lanzagorta\nthey stand as titans , not just in their area of expertise , but in the hearts of their fellow faithful countrymen . foreigners scoff at such devotion , chalking it up to a lack of cultural sophistication and an allegiance to outdated tradition . but when you look around the world , you see them everywhere . japan has its kaiju , while india enjoys those bigger than life bollywood gods . yet no one can top mexico and its worship of all things wrestling . under the lucha libre label , a number of unstoppable heroes have managed to become media superstars - and none are bigger than the man mountain himself , mil mascaras . returning to movies after years in semi - retirement , the suplex sensation reminds us that , no matter how comical they appear to the outside world , masked marvels like el santo , blue demon , and himself stand as wonderful symbols of universal morays - and amazing movie entertainment like his latest offering , resurrection ."]}

generation gap\u2014he\u2019s 28 , she\u2019s 34\u2014and a personality gap . michael is a tight - tailed new englander , crisp as a mclntosh apple . brenda is a rabelaisian from brooklyn , ripe as a pomegranate with a throaty , 3 a . m . voice straight off the e train . she had been pushed into marriage once before ( to director martin fried ) and gave up after three years . not so long ago brenda observed , \u201cwhen you\u2019re married , you try harder . who needs that kind of pressure ? \u201d\nbut brenda\u2019s sicilian - born mom has lately made a tearful confession to michael that \u201ci want to see my daughter marry before i die . \u201d and brenda says that michael\u2019s mother , english - born actress diana douglas , is hardly less subtle : \u201cshe\u2019s knitting a blanket for a baby we don\u2019t have . \u201d\nof course , it never looked as if michael would make it into show biz either . his parents divorced when he was 6 , and his mother raised him in connecticut and at high - toned schools like choate . his father was relieved that he seemed headed for law at the university of california at santa barbara , and told michael he was \u201cterrible\u201d in his student acting debut in as you like it . but in a later production kirk reversed himself , declaring the kid \u201cvery good , \u201d and michael went on into a few off - broadway plays and ephemeral movies before his abc series came along .\nbrenda is yin to michael\u2019s yang . her father , a lawyer , moved the family from brooklyn to dallas and opened the big d\u2019s first gourmet restaurant , mario\u2019s . brenda , in the only miscasting of her life , was packed off to finishing school\u2014and she was promptly tossed out . she waited on tables in a new york coffeehouse and modeled bathing suits for maidenform before becoming second banana to lauren bacall in cactus flower . after a score of plays and movies , brenda is still on the cusp of stardom , seemingly condemned to give her best performances in turkeys . she was nominated for tonys\u2014and lost\u2014three times but did win an emmy this spring in cbs\u2019s blandly feminist comedy special , the shape of things . she has done other one - shots ( including playing ethel rosenberg in abc\u2019s the trial of julius and ethel rosenberg ) but considers a series anathema .\nmichael himself is leary about the weekly regimen\u2014both professionally and personally . what he really seeks is to direct and produce movies\u2014a sensible solution for someone who does not want to be remembered as son of spartacus . most of michael\u2019s moonlight hours the past few years have been spent in co - producing a film version of kesey\u2019s one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest , starring jack nicholson . \u201cthe exciting thing about making films today is that everything is up lor grabs , \u201d he explains . \u201cand you had better grab . \u201d\nthe other problem about tv series for douglas is the crimp in his relationship with vaccaro . during the eight - month shooting season , michael is on san francisco location up to 18 hours a day , six days a week , and brenda is on an air - shuttle yo - yo from los angeles every weekend between her commitments ( the latest of which was the adaptation of jacqueline susann\u2019s once is not enough , also featuring , ironically , kirk douglas ) . this summer , with his crescendoing clout on streets , michael finagled an extra week together with brenda by casting her in the series as a guest star . she played a gun - toting mob hit - woman , in an episode which will air september 19th .\nthe permanent ( though still rented , not owned ) douglas - vaccaro home is a glittering los angeles aerie atop benedict canyon , which they share with a belgian sheepdog , a persian cat and now and then with even her ex - boyfriend . what will drive them to marriage is the children michael\u2019s mother is speculatively knitting for . kids out of wedlock are unthinkable to both . \u201ci\u2019m not condemning those people who do it , \u201d says michael . \u201cbut it seems simpler ail the way around to get married . \u201d brenda concurs but would never give up her profession completely . \u201cas simone de beauvoir said , \u201d says vaccaro , with uncommon seriousness , \u201d \u2018a woman\u2019s freedom always begins with her own money . \u2019 \u201d\nall products featured were editorially selected . urltoken may receive a percentage of sales for items purchased from these links . \u00a9 2018 meredith corporation all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . | eu data subject requests\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njerry , not a member of the ' protest generation ' but is instead , an ' all american boy , ' is drafted into the army , just as things begin to go well for him . his decision to flee to canada . . . see full summary \u00bb\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na disillusioned man can ' t decide whether to join the army or to become a hippie .\nafter the death of a relative , a professor goes to the funeral and gets himself a job there working with power lines . he soon finds his entire life changing before his eyes .\ntwo young children , who , rather than part with an old pet lion who was once a circus performer , go on a perilous mountain trek to stay with a recluse friend .\namerican marathon runner michael andropolis sets his heart on representing his country at the olympic games . meanwhile his marriage has fallen apart and his children have no respect for him . . . see full summary \u00bb\na successful but stressed mathematics professor ( clayburgh ) goes to her father ' s wedding and falls in love with her father ' s bride ' s son ( douglas ) , a prematurely retired pro baseball player . . . see full summary \u00bb\na woman begins receiving ominous phone calls from a relative who died 15 years prior . with each phone call , a family member dies . will she be the next in line ?\ndisgusted with criminals escaping the judicial system via technicalities , an idealistic young judge investigates an alternative method for punishing the guilty .\njerry , not a member of the ' protest generation ' but is instead , an ' all american boy , ' is drafted into the army , just as things begin to go well for him . his decision to flee to canada sparks off conflict with his parents , ending in the film ' s conclusion -

was this just a thing that happens here ?\nwhile i knew it would be challenging and not you\u2019re average post - christmas festivity routine , there\u2019s nothing that could have quite prepared me for the emotional ( and gastric ) rollercoaster that was the golden rock retreat in amed , bali .

! \u201d with an excitable smile ( anticipating stories of my newfound serenity and rejuvenated internal cleanliness ) so that they might consider doing a detox retreat for themselves\u2026 i just look at them squarely and ask them to sit down , and listen .\ni\u2019d done my own juice cleanses over the years , i\u2019d drank enough herbal teacups to sink titanic , i\u2019d popped sustained - release antioxidant capsules aplenty\u2026 but i\u2019d never decided to stop everything else completely ( work , routine , play , training , travel ) to purely take a break to focus on my insides \u2013 both guts and mind . it sounds odd to pay someone something \u2018for nothing\u2019 ( no solid food during the retreat ) but without the retreat structure there\u2019s no way i could have personally done something to the effect of this \u2013 both physically ( with the well - timed liquid supplements and physical treatments that make up any given detox retreat day ) and mentally , with the \u2018switch - off\u2019 of the mobile phone due to no reception for calls or internet\u2026 except for one sneaky motorbike ride up the mountain half - way through the detox - week \u2026 to spend $ 100 in data - roaming for god - knows what level of social - media satisfaction . i think 4 days - in ( without solid food ) i was just seeking sustenance from some sort of feed\u2026 newsfeed would do nom nom nom . i felt dirty for a few hours afterwards go figure .\ni attended the peppers masterclass food experience retreat . i was also a getaway for me , and i found it to be wonderfully relaxing . the cooking class side of things was fantastic too , the group picked up great tips and enjoyed superb food at every meal , including the one we prepared ! i hope they do another one , and promote it well as it was great value for money .\nfinally , with no answers , i backed the car from its space and began inching down the long dirt driveway . on our left we could see angry guy digging roughly with a shovel in the house\u2019s expansive front garden ; the director of the retreat , a man whom we had seen only once so far , and who had firmly ignored our efforts to say hello , was looking on from the porch .\n\u2013 a time that is otherwise spent consuming as much food and alcohol with as many friends and family as possible . basically , it was a double - sided - strategy to help avoid the annual smashing i\u2019ve given myself each december ( for the last decade and a half ) , as the month leading into the retreat would require preparation to make the most out of it ( so i had no alcohol for the month of december ; and no red - meat , refined sugar or dairy for the final week ) . it was good having a \u2018story\u2019 of the upcoming detox retreat , to help navigate through many christmas party and end - of - year lunches that pressed for a smashing . if people think they can twist your arm they might try , but if you\u2019re firm and resolute - and have a simple story of a detox retreat coming up that you\u2019ve invested in , sailing through a big party period can be a breeze . i remember dancing ( totally sober ) at our work christmas party and someone coming up to me and saying , \u201cgees you\u2019re really getting into it how much have you had to drink ? \u201d\u2026 i was just like \u201cahhhh\u2026 . time to go home\u201d\u2026 and i moonwalked straight out of there in one of the great phantom maneuvers .\nthe detox was hard . it was harder than i thought . it was something i would only recommend to someone who felt \u2018ready\u2019 and keen to push themselves to the limit for the betterment of their insides . day three i felt like i could give up and go get some salty lamb chops\u2026 but being committed to a retreat program meant that simply wasn\u2019t an option . once i broke through the day three haze , i could see this was going to be an incredible experience as a whole .\nretreat hell , author christopher nuttall ' s eighth book in the empire ' s corps series , trends back to marine jasmine yamane . she ' s given command of a military force tasked with backing up the teetering government on an industrially rich but economically threatened planet called thule . little does she know that the rebels are backed by weapons from rival wolfbane , which is trying to defeat the still susceptible commonwealth and bolster its own status after the fall of earth and the empire . yamane does well against the rebels , while questioning if she should be fighting on their side instead of the weak government supported by the wealthy business owners , who don ' t allow votes to people without jobs . this means most people can ' t vote because the economy went into a tailspin after the fall of the empire , and before that its slow decline . nuttall tells the story through his characters , who are quite well developed by this point . the action continues to push the reader along , and nuttall gets his points about economics and its influence on politics in the meantime . it ' s fun stuff . i had to read three of these in a row , which is no small time commitment .\nperhaps coming to olive in such a roundabout manner , i . e . , a warner release whose rights ( if i get this right ) first transferred to republic then m\u00e9lange then viacom then paramount and now sublicensed to olive , the film elements are in okay but not great shape . clouding matters further is director joseph h . lewis frequent use of dissolves and late - in - the - game optical printing ( because he didn ' t shoot enough coverage ? ) and the use of scratched - to - hell military stock footage . nevertheless , overall the image is pretty good and its flaws don ' t take the viewer out of the film .\n: after following those steps outlined above , i drank the lemon and oil and then an hour later\u2026 omfg . an hour later ( and each hour after that ) some stuff ( from hell ) was eliminated from my body . after not eating solids for 5 days i was feeling relatively clean anyway\u2026 . so to see the likes of this gunk coming out ( from my gallbladder and liver ) was equal parts gross and sensationally cleansing . who even knew that stuff was in there ? it was nothing short of gross to see it come out \u2013 but in this instance , i would 100 % rather this stuff out than in . the liver - cleanse was the single most extreme and awesome part of the whole experience .\nwe drove away from the retreat house that morning with a relief so overwhelming it turned into deranged giddiness . had we actually survived ? were we ever in danger ? marianne and i are writers , after all , which in our case makes us as imaginative and fanciful and prone to elaborate storymaking as your average third grader , and we do egg each other on . still , it sure seemed like something strange had been going on during our visit . the profanity , the weird behavior of pretty much everyone we met , the creepy late - night footsteps , the general tension of the house overall , the corpse garden .\n\u201che\u2019s been doing that for half an hour , \u201d she explained in a whisper . she had gone downstairs at one point and even then , he didn\u2019t let up . angry guy was bashing pots around a kitchen like a sugar - addled toddler with a prodigal gift for muttered profanities . it turned out he was just making dinner as loudly as possible , because eventually the smell of cooking food drifted up from the kitchen to where marianne and i sat upstairs . i wondered , who was angry guy\u2019s noisy cooking supposed to punish ? i realized we hadn\u2019t seen desdemona all day . we had only caught a glimpse of the retreat\u2019s director once , as we left that morning .\nwe live relatively locally , but had never heard of this place . we have stayed at other peppers resorts , so that , and the september special persuaded us to give this place a try . we were not disappointed ! excellent welcoming , yet professional staff , fantastic location , clean , comfortable accomodation , and last but not least fantastic food ! ! i personally loved the lack of mobile reception . . . . it can ' t be a retreat if your phone is going off and people can contact you easily ! i would highly reccomend the restaurant , and don ' t forget to go down to the creek and hang out ( literally ) in the hammocks , so peaceful and relaxing - i wish we could have stayed longer . . if i had to complain i would say : the bed wasn ' t amazing - but i love a solid mattress , and i am seven months pregnant , so that could be personal preference / whinge ! the spa and pool could do with an upgrade but were still nice , the only downside was that the gas storage area hidden behind the spa which let out a whiff of gas now and again . and the morning we were there it was continental breakfast only . . . . . . which was a bit of a let down . all in all , a really nice , peaceful retreat . i would go again in a heartbeat : )\ni will be purposely vague on details because i am not writing this as an indictment of the retreat space in question . and i don\u2019t want to hurt their business if it\u2019s doing well . it\u2019s possible our visit was an anomaly . according to many people on the internet , most visitors to this location have a wonderful experience there , and none have publicly described the bizarre scenario we found ourselves in . ( or at the least , they haven\u2019t done so and survived . perhaps even now , as i write this , a dark - haired demon girl is cracking her knuckles behind my laptop screen , readying herself to lunge onto my desk and disappoint me to death . let\u2019s watch and see . )\npart of me wonders if i should give that place a second chance ; the reviews online are consistently positive , so much so that i continue to suspect that we passed through some kind of portal into the silent hill version of the retreat space \u2014 one that , instead of being peaceful and filled with inspiration , is populated by perverse twisted horror versions of all the good things former visitors had described . if nothing else , i got a story out of it , even if it wasn\u2019t the story i expected or wanted . sometimes life gives you lemons . and sometimes life gives you fuckshits , and you\u2019re like , \u201cwhat , i can\u2019t even make lemonade out of these things . also please don\u2019t kill me in the dead of night . \u201d\nneither of us felt safe discussing this subject further inside the house , so we gathered our stuff to leave for the day and we put on our contraband shoes and went to the car , where we began formulating scenarios that would explain the blonde woman\u2019s sudden absence . had she only planned to stay one night ? that seemed unlikely , as these kinds of retreat spaces typically host residents for a few days at least , and usually a week or more . had she fled in terror ? given that i\u2019d considered doing the same on the night of the fuckshits , it was possible . had she met with some terrible fate ? did that doll in the hallway kill her ? was it angry guy , in his mr . hyde persona ? of course , marianne and i hadn\u2019t technically been attacked , but i reasoned that maybe that was only because either of us would prove very bulky to carry downstairs while unconscious or dead .\ni ' ve been coming to byron bay for a few years for my own personal holidays and wanted to check this place out before committing to a stay , so this is what folks in the business call a\nsite inspection\n. the first thing anyone will notice is that it ' s way out of town in the back blocks of byron bay near bangalow - both great spots in themselves - but not really close enough to be convenient . this factor could work both ways in your vacation planning making it great for a couples retreat but not so much for a family holiday . the cabins are individually self - contained and standalone , so you won ' t be bothered by your neighbour ' s hob - nailed boots . they ' re roomy but not lavish , comfortable , clean and neat without being luxurious . the restaurant ' wilson\u2019s by the creek ' has a considerable reputation and head chef , adam hall , is a bit of a local ' rock star ' among chefs . his gourmet and culinary weekends have quite a following , so this may be a good excuse to get out there . of course you can come out and dine without staying , but due to licensing , the restaurant is only open to non - resident guests fri - sat - sun . at the time of my visit , there was some ground clearing going on to remove non - native species and the new onsite manager ( paul ) had just moved in . there were some adverse comments about the previous manager who i never met , so this . . .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\njoseph h . lewis , a director of b movies during hollywood ' s golden era whose work received great critical acclaim after his retirement , has died .\nlewis died aug . 30 at st . john ' s hospital in santa monica , said his friend , dr . gail reingold . lewis was believed to be 93 , although some reference books list his birthday as april 6 , 1900 .\nin movies like\nthe big combo ,\nterror in a texas town ,\nmy name is julia ross\nand\ngun crazy ,\nlewis transcended the limits of the b movie franchise , making fast -

muslim violence that followed the demolition of the babri masjid , though , hardline members of his networks like mushtaq abdul razzak \u2018tiger ' memon are believed to have demanded retaliation .\nbesides creating characters like the angry young man , basanti , gabbar singh and mogambo , salim - javed bought credibility to a profession that had previously been relegated to the background .\ntwo of my films - - salim langde pe mat ro and ; bagh bahadur - - won national awards and i played the lead in both . but still . . .\nimage : pavan malhotra couldn ' t believe that he , and not ashutosh gowariker , was playing the title role in salim langde pe mat ro . the film also stars tom alter .\nlike in salim langde pe mat ro , the character scratches his crotch . i didn ' t do it for the camera . it would be noticed only if someone had to notice .\nhe has delivered top - notch performances in films like salim langde pe mat ro , black friday and jab we met and we still remember him fondly from his earliest television serial , nukkad .\nsalim and salman share a heart - warming relationship . salim khan has time and again backed his son and slammed the haters of salman with his on - the - face attitude . he dotes on his eldest son and is evidently concerned about him . salman too has been quite vocal about his relationship with his father . he has often said how his father is an inspiration to him .\nthere ' s a reason behind salim ' s cocky walking style - - he wants people to notice him . the mamu in bhendi bazaar or sikandar in my name is anthony gonsalves are different .\ni went to subhash ghai ' s office for work and gave him a video cassette of salim langde pe mat ro . he saw the first 10 minutes and returned it to me without saying anything .\ni also asked everyone connected to that place if they had ever met him ( tiger memon , the mastermind of the 1993 bombay bomb blasts whom pavan malhotra played ) . one person said he had met him for 10 minutes and had noticed that whenever he spoke to someone , he would lean towards that person .\nsalim - javed singularly changed the way hindi cinema looked at writers . salim khan\u2019s filmography might have had no additions for the last 17 years but when your writing credits include the likes of zanjeer ( 1972 ) , sholay ( 1975 ) , deewar ( 1975 ) , trishul ( 1978 ) and don ( 1978 ) amongst others , you really don\u2019t have anything left to prove . a keen follower of hollywood films , it was khan who thought of the plots and the story while akhtar concentrated on the detailing . more than the films themselves it\u2019s their contribution to the craft of screenwriting that separates salim - javed from others .\nsalim khan has a lot more to reveal about his equation with salman on this week\u2019s episode of the show . it will be interesting to know some hidden secrets about chulbul pandey of bollywood from his father .\na positive move by ptr management in line with many complaints against the mr . sajimon salim . the person and his company has been declared as black listed by ptr . details available on their official website . follow the link :\ntoday , when his former writing partner is championing the cause of present day writers by helping usher in a new copyright law that would give them rightful ownership over their work , one can\u2019t help thinking of salim khan , the original crusader for the writer .\none half of the cult duo \u2018salim - javed\u2019 who spun blockbusters like deewaar , sholay , don , trishul , and many more says , \u201cif a movie fails , it is my fault . if it is a hit , it is salman\u2019s efforts ! \u201d\nkhan diligently watches his son\u2019s films and habitually stops to discuss them at salman\u2019s ground floor apartment in the same building before coming up to his own apartment . a few years ago when he saw kyon ki\u2026 he didn\u2019t bother talking about it and when salman came up to enquire about the film salim simply told him that it was a bad film . when salman said that everyone else seemed to think otherwise , salim , the original dabangg told him he\u2019d be mad to expect yes men and fans to tell him the truth ever .\nsaeed was doing a reading session with makarand deshpande , ashutosh gowariker , me and a few others . i shaved off my moustache thinking that i would get to play the character abdul , which was eventually done by ashutosh . i wasn ' t even thinking about salim .\nhave you ever wondered why veteran scriptwriter salim khan , the sciptwriter behind some of 70s and 80s biggest hits alongwith javed akhtar \u2014 never wrote scripts for his son salman khan ? if yes , then the father of dabangg actor , salman khan has let the cat out of the bag for you .\nthe star might have given salim - javed their official break as a team but it was their script that gave khanna his first colossal hit in the form of haathi mere saathi ( 1971 ) . he muses that khanna could never come to terms with the reality that his glory days were long gone .\none day , when i went to saeed ' s office , he asked me if i was working out . i said i was not into that . so he said ,\nyou better start gyming because you are going to play karim .\n( the character was initially called karim , not salim ) .\ni did feel bad that even after doing hero roles , i never got a lead role . i don ' t know if i ' m good looking even though this industry made me feel i ' m handsome . i had no make - up for salim langde pe mat ro ; i only dyed my moustache black .\nby contrast the mere mention of salim - javed makes people rattle off the classic lines such as \u2018 mere paas maa hai \u2019 , \u2018 kitne aadmi the ? \u2019 , \u2018 tumhara naam kya hai basanti\u2019 , \u2018 don ka intezaar to gyarah mulkon ki police kar rahi hai\u2019 , or \u2018yeh police station hai , tumhare baap ka ghar nahin . \u2019\nwhile struggling with small acting jobs he met javed akhtar , the son of poet jan nissar akhtar , on the sets of sarhadi lootera ( 1966 ) . akhtar was the director sm sagar\u2019s clapper boy who had ambled his way to become the film\u2019s dialogue writer . once salim grasped that his \u201cart of imagination\u201d was much better than his \u201cart of projection\u201d he called it curtains on his acting career .\nalthough he grew up in a family of police officers , salim khan dreamt of being a cricketer . but when he realised that he\u2019d never be as good as his idols he headed to bombay . he trained as a pilot , but his dreams ended up reaching for the stars . the smart - looking young man tried his luck in front of the camera but destiny beckoned him to the other side .\nthere were hindi films with great lines long before salim khan and javed akhtar happened . one might never forget mughal - e - azam ( 1960 ) and its immortal lines like \u201c hum apne bete ke dhadakte hue dil ke liye hindustan ki taqdeer nahin badal sakte\u201d but very few remember the men who wrote them . the names of writers aman , wajahat mirza and ehsan rizvi don\u2019t mean as much to the fans of mughal - e - azam .\nbefore the trip one of us dropped out due to personal reason . before the start of trip we approached saji for cancellation and return of money for that person . saji agreed over the email . just before the start of trip , saji emailed us that tiger trail is not possible due to some reason and he has arranged for the jungle camp and trekking in gavi and said that differential money ( less than what it should have been ) will be paid back . later we clarified that differential money and saji agreed and confirmed the same via email . we followed up with him over phone , whatsapp and email . thus far we have not received the single penny but false commitments .\ntigers don\u2019t talk about hunting but if they ever did , i imagine it would be like listening to salim khan talk about films . like a predator he effortlessly picks the right words and every single one is there for a reason . his sentences play like some of his iconic lines \u2014 they create the right silence . at 77 you might think that the man , who transformed the hindi film landscape with his sharp writing , might have lost some of his edge but that couldn\u2019t be more further from the truth .\nin a candid conversation on zee classic\u2019s \u2018my life my story , \u2019 salim khan revealed why he doesn\u2019t write scripts for his superstar son , salman khan . the ace writer said , \u201cit\u2019s not that i haven\u2019t written films for salman . i had written a film for him , pathar ke phool , which did reasonably well too . even today , when i pitch a script , people always have a question that if it is good then why is salman not acting . but i wanted to get out of that vicious circle . \u201d\nalthough they split in the early 1980s and have rarely met in decades , akhtar hasn\u2019t forgotten or undermined khan\u2019s contribution to their success . it was khan who decided that the writers\u2019 names should adorn the posters . he believed that if five songs could get the lyricist a credit on the poster then why not those who wrote the whole damn thing ? the two hired a painter and set him off to stencil \u2018written by salim - javed\u2019 on zanjeer \u2019s posters on the night before the release of the film . khan reminisces that the poor artist was drunk and ended up painting their names all over the posters , and at places even on the faces of the actors , but the message was conveyed .\nenter missing singer names as comma separated value . you can add as many number of singer name in the given field\nto access special sections for urltoken user , request you to signin / signup using this form . if you are an existing user , pls . login with your credentials or if you a new user , pls . register .\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 -

based organised crime empire and pakistan ' s jihadists : men driven by the belief that the sacrifice of life in god ' s name will unlock the gates of a very different kind of paradise .\nlast week ' s arrest of mumbai residents abdul latif sheikh and riyaz ali for plotting terror attacks on mumbai has once again focussed attention on these linkages . bashir khan , a dawood lieutenant wanted for his role in planning the 1993 serial bombings in mumbai , is alleged to have recruited the two men and supervised their operations .\ndriven by their common pursuit of power and legitimacy , enabled by decades of communal violence , and orchestrated by pakistan ' s feared inter - services intelligence directorate , the alliance enabled the emergence of a jihadist movement drawn from india ' s cities \u2014 and continues to do so .\ndawood ' s alliance with the isi began as a desperate effort to protect his empire . estimate suggests that until 1991 dawood ' s organised crime networks smuggled almost 200 tonnes of gold into india each year . however , the liberalisation of gold imports in 1992 led to the collapse of this enterprise .\npakistani narcotics traffickers yusuf godhrawala and taufiq jallianwala are believed to have carried overtures from the isi in 1992 , offering dawood a share in their trade in return for funnelling weapons into india .\nhundreds of kilograms of military - grade explosives , along with assault rifles and grenades provided by the isi , were landed off the maharashtra coast in early 1993 . bashir khan played a key role in the operation \u2014 as well as the serial bombings which followed .\nin the years that followed , dawood ' s alliance with jihadists in pakistan flowered . in october 2003 , the united states treasury department determined that the crime syndicate ' s \u201csmuggling routes from south asia , the middle east and africa are shared with osama bin - laden and his terrorist network . \u201d dawood ibrahim had also \u201cfinancially supported islamic militant groups working against india , such as [ the ] lashkar - e - taiba . \u201d\nlast year , the ustd sanctioned al - qaeda linked lashkar - e - taiba commander arif kasmani for multiple operations , \u201cincluding the july 2006 train bombing in mumbai , and the february 2007 samjota [ samjhauta ] express bombing in panipat . \u201d the treasury added that qasmani utilised \u201cmoney that he received from dawood ibrahim , an indian crime figure and terrorist supporter , to facilitate the july 2006 train bombing in mumbai . \u201d\ninside india , two separate organised crime networks operating under dawood ibrahim ' s patronage began working to lay the foundations for the multiple lashkar - linked indian jihadist networks , now known as the indian mujahideen .\nearly in 2002 , dawood - affiliated gangster asif raza khan was killed in a shootout with the gujarat police . his brother , amir raza khan , swore revenge . in the wake of the 2002 pogrom in gujarat , khan tied up with indian mujahideen commander riyaz shahbandri to send dozens of volunteers from maharashtra and gujarat to jihadist training camps in bangladesh and pakistan .\nshahbandri ' s politics was deeply influenced by his brother iqbal bhatkal , a neo - conservative preacher , and shafiq ahmad , a relative who went on to head the students islamic movement of india ' s chapter in mumbai . khan , by contrast , had no religious inclinations . both jihadists and the underworld cooperated in the common cause of winning legitimacy among the riot - hit community .\nkarachi - based ganglord rasool khan \u2018party ' \u2014 another long - standing dawood vassal \u2014 played a similar role , working with hyderabad - based cleric maulana mohammad naseeruddin and ahmedabad seminary chief maulana sufiyan patangia . more than a dozen men from hyderabad and ahmedabad were eventually flown to lashkar - e - taiba , jaish - e - mohammad and harkat ul - jihad - e - islami training camps in pakistan \u2014 routed through karachi , where rasool khan and patangia are now hiding out .\ndawood ibrahim ' s organised crime networks continue to provide both finance and logistics assistance to jihadists . in a report released earlier this month , the brussels -

pookum tharunum from madarasapattinam ! ! ! no body will make selection like this . is this all a joke . i always thought filmfare was just and not like othere , i am just wrong . haricharan deserves the award fo his singing in thulli thulli from paiyya . it is a better son than ada da mazhai da from paiyya and actor dhanush being nominated for singing ! ! ! ! why ? isn\u2019t the national award enough ? so we just encourage actors to sing wothout sruthi ? do u peolpe know anything about music ?\nthe tamil language for playback singing has very wrong nominees . who did this ? very bad and

where is sooriya in telugu hero nominees . he done extremely well in rakthacharithra , then no nominees for ram gopal varma . then in tamil play back singer in female the most fav song 4 everybody manni paya is nt nominated 4m vtv . whose tat fantastic juries nominated wrong nominations\nno surprise at all\u2026filmfare awards are especially organised for low grade artists or bollywood fame personas who neither performed exstraordinarily nor efforlessly . muisc nominees are always horrible . jury panel is always careless . they don\u2019t recognise or they dont have caliber to select nominees on merit base . where is sadhana sargam who earlier won 2 awards in tamil and telugu in 2007 . she didnt win again in spite of her supremly sweet renditions . her song from \u201cbana kathadi\u201d is so sweet . . \u201den nenjil\u201d\u2026again in telugu in \u201csambo siva sambo\u201d for the melliflous rendition \u201ckannupapellao prema\u201d\u2026 . .\ni completely agreed with pavitra and thiruvenkadam\u2026dont b upset\u2026 . best artists always gets sucess\u2026 .\nc the music directors , only 3 peoples are nominated ! i would say thaty they should had d . imman & vijay antony in the list . b\u2019cuz d . imman gave his extraordinary music in mynaa & kacheri aarambam . vijay antony gave uthamaputhiran , angadi theru . who is this funny juries making wrong decisions !\ni\u2019m really happy . in kannada really tuft competitions in all cotagories . all the best to all candidates\nwhat is this ? this selection is very bad in female singar deportment . i think andrea is best in goa ( ithuvarai ) and yuvan is the best in 2011 and always .\neven i am really shocked in the female singer category of tamil\u2026\u2026where is mannipayya which got recently almost all the awards\u2026 . . such a sweet rendition by shreya ghoshal which no one else can do\u2026\u2026 . she really deserves the award\u2026her other nomination also deserves\u2026also what about thulli thulli from paiyya\u2026haricharan deserves\u2026\u2026\u2026 . one thing is to be noted\u2026 . shreya is the only singer to get most nominations here\u2026hope she wins also\u2026 : ) and definitely wrong decisions for tamil singing category\u2026 . where is mannipaya ? ? ? ? its really bizarre\u2026\u2026\u2026 . . : ? (\ni am happy with malayalam female singer nominations . shreya ghoshal has won 5 awards in kerala this year . i think she will get it . also in tamil songs mannippaya should be included . she has won 3 awards so far in tamil . i have only doubt with her song in kannada\n@ jijo dont worry kannada also hopefully she will win since she has 2 nominations both of which are hit urltoken is really peppy and the other one is highly melodious \u2026 . hopefully she should win\u2026 . . if there is no politics\u2026 . hope u get that\u2026and really sad that there is no mannippaya\u2026\u2026\u2026 . : (\nim also shocked 2 c d nomines of telugu best actor award . where is prabhas\u2019 name ? sad\nreally shocked by these nominations in telugu all male actor nominees are top heroes which is unfair . but another good thing is that in best music nominees sekhar chandra is included . but watching tamil nominees really shocked thuli thuli song not included guys what has happened to the selection jury\nshreya ghoshal got 2 awards ( un prerai sollum podhe ( tamil ) , kizhakku pookkum ( malayalm ) ) . . . . . .\n100 % politics in south filmfare . not even single award for simha movie ( telugu blockbluster movie of the year 2010 ) not fair\ndear urltoken viewers , if you have anything like shooting spot pictures , your own celebrity wallpapers or movie posters , and any interesting tamil cinema news and gossips etc . , kindly send us to\nwith subject ' entertainment -

it is nothing but a fabulous commercial sequence . there are many scenes like this that showcase the bondage .\nsudeep looks very good on the screen from his earlier films . with a highly talented director he has , surrendered himself and given excellent performance .\naindrita ray has super screen presence , lovely looks and dancing ability is another treat from this film . vijayalskhmi singh in the emotional role , sharan in the comedy render good support .\nnanna urltoken top of all . thangaliyalli thelihodhe . and ayyoyyo ishta . are well tuned by director s narayan .\nr giri is fabulous in his camera work . the angles he has worked for heightening the scenes is what makes the audience to go again and watch this film .\nsye -

[ \u21a9 ]\nin the case of wallace , it is better to call his conception of sincerity paradoxical and dialectical all at once . this is a possibility trilling himself permitted to the artist in one of the most memorable passages in\nthat makes the notion suspect to the new anti - social temperament . trilling , drawing most directly on the critique of sincerity as bad faith found in the work of jean - paul sartre , puts the problem as follows :\nthe buddhafield was full of them . allen never says how he was first invited to live on a new age commune somewhere on the outskirts of california , but it\u2019s immediately clear why the place appealed to him . founded on basic principles of clean living , paid work , and hours of voluntary pro bono service for fellow devotees ( and local quadriplegics ) , this unthreatening idyll was designed to seduce the dreamy and dispossessed . as one of the film\u2019s talking heads remembers thinking at the time : \u201cif this was a cult , at least it was a really good cult . \u201d\nof course , gaddis and trilling were far from alone among intellectuals and writers of their time in drawing attention to the cultural importance of sincerity and authenticity in the postwar united states . the questions that gaddis was probing in\nthe dialectic of sincerity is an important topic in its own right , but it is also significant in offering a window onto broader cultural themes . the concern with sincerity that differently shapes both trilling ' s and wallace ' s work points to an overriding concern in both writers with the fragmentation of american social and institutional life in the last third of the twentieth century\nin employing literature as the primary ground for his historical exploration of sincerity , trilling ' s study was likewise part of a stream of similar work in this period on both sides of the atlantic . beginning around 1963 , critics including patricia ball , donald davie , david perkins , henri peyre , herbert read , and patricia meyer spacks wrote on the connection between sincerity and literary aesthetics ; following the publication of\nan intellectual and off - beat comedy set in new york , the films main character , joseph , starts a\ncult of sincerity\nto confront the perceived unhappiness , cynicism , and boredom of his generation . he wants to find something to believe in , something simple enough to put on a t - shirt . reminiscent of don quixote , joseph sets off to find the most genuine thing you could ever say to someone .\nat the end of \u201cemotional technologies , \u201d an essay about s & m that shifts between first - person and third - person narratives of her own life , kraus calls it \u201cna\u00efve\u201d to assume that \u201cspeaking in the first person necessarily connotes any kind of truth , sincerity . \u201d kraus questions the sincerity of the first - person\u2014the flip - side of her search for authentic feeling inside performance . s & m is performative , but kraus finds sincerity in it ; first - person _ feels _ more sincere but is no less a show .\nthis film really made me think and i ' m sure it will change my life for the better . at least i hope so . although i am not usually a fan of contemporary movies because so few of them are worthwhile ,\ncult\nis an exception . and , don ' t be turned off by the inclusion of the word\ncult\nin the title . this is in no way a wierd or creepy film . it makes serious points in a very entertaining way . it is worth your time . g - cool\nthe first wave of\nsincerity studies\nin the 1960s and 1970s focused on wordsworth and recognized him , against an eighteenth - century background , as the first poet to cultivate sincerity as a poetic value . a recent , second wave , which is much more likely to adopt byron as its model , interprets sincerity as a code or convention , thereby historicizing romanticism as a movement defined by its materialistically determined construction of its own values . 24\nin a review - essay that serves as an important addendum to sincerity and authenticity , peter berger places trilling ' s ideas in a wider sociological context , and in doing so comments directly on the institutional meaning of the shift to authenticity :\nthe transition from sincerity to authenticity is the ideational correlate of the modernization of institutions . the progressive sharpening of the tension between self and society implied by the transition points directly to a progressive crisis in the institutions of modernity .\npeter l . berger ,\n' sincerity ' and ' authenticity ' in modern society ,\nthe public interest 31 ( 1973 ) : 81 - 90 ( 84 - 85 ) . this helps us to see why wallace ' s reconstruction of sincerity is simultaneously a renewal of institutional life , and why one depends upon the other .

[\nconstitutes , at least in some significant moments , a more sophisticated attempt to merge the conventions of realism with some of the complex concerns with sincerity articulated in wallace ' s fiction . in order to show this , i will focus on a five -

and - desist order .\nthis is one of the central questions framed throughout the writing of david foster wallace , a major late - century inheritor of this postmodern age of irony and theory . wallace , who attended amherst college and the university of arizona in the early - to - mid 1980s , a period when theory was at its zenith of influence in the us academy , argued as early as his first published essay for the relevance of continental philosophy and literary theory\nsociety requires of us that we present ourselves as being sincere , and the most efficacious way of satisfying this demand is to see to it that we really are sincere , that we actually are what we want our community to know we are . in short , we play the role of being ourselves , we sincerely act the part of the sincere person , with the result that a judgement may be passed upon our sincerity that it is not authentic . ( sa 10 - 11 )\nsincerity became for wallace , as it had been for trilling , one name for a new , or renewed , literary and cultural practice . and while wallace never mentions trilling ' s name in his published work , his awareness of\nin the recognitions , this is , essentially , esm\u00e9 ' s judgment on otto ' s declaration of love : he may indeed be as sincere as he says he is , but his sincerity is not authentic , and is no replacement for the honesty with oneself that authenticity names . authenticity suggests , in trilling ' s summary ,\na more strenuous moral experience than ' sincerity ' does , a more exigent conception of the self and of what being true to it consists in , a wider reference to the universe and man ' s place in it , and a less acceptant and genial view of the social circumstances of life\n( sa 11 ) . and gaddis ' s novel could not be less genial in its treatment of mid - century american society and those who inhabit it , making constant analogies between forgeries in the art world and the forgery of the self that is everywhere prevalent in the world of social relations as gaddis sees it .\nthat he viewed as being under threat by the authenticity - obsessed radical movements of the 1960s .\ncond\u00e9 nast . all rights reserved . use of and / or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our\nleslie jamison is the author of \u201c the gin closet , \u201d \u201c the empathy exams , \u201d and \u201c the recovering : intoxication and its aftermath . \u201d\nall these novelists found the roots of their critique in kafka , and that critique was taken up independently in the work of althusser and foucault , before going on to characterize large swathes of literary theory , most notably the new historicism . but the negative representation of the institution across this body of work has recently received a corrective , with a significant strand of contemporary thinking acknowledging the power of interpellation by institutions while attempting to give a more balanced and even positive account of institutional life . perhaps the most prominent example of this trend in american literary studies is mark mcgurl ' s\nno longer was it possible to confront the self head - on in the old ways , without recognition of the way this confrontation is mediated not only by language and genre , but also by institution and community . this downplaying of individualism in favor of community and institutionality makes it far from irrelevant , then , that wallace ' s art does not produce a religio - anarchist politics in line with dostoevsky ' s . wallace associated anarchism with the ironic attitude of the postmodernist generation , and instead defended a form of democratic liberalism in line with his commitment to a new and complex form of sincerity .\nwas published in 1972 , the coherent public sphere that the concept of sincerity invokes and undergirds was under attack not only from the radical movements trilling inveighs against , but also from the bureaucratic and corporate culture that sociologists such as david riesman and c . wright mills describe in their work . what mills termed\na sacrifice of selfhood on a personality market\nwas already revealing itself , in the postwar context , as a great threat not only to liberalism but to the very structure of american democracy .\nwell , how does any cult happen ? power is power , and it always works the same way . the tools may change , but the process of twisting vulnerabilities into blind devotion is always the same . a figures tells his disciples that they are not simple creatures , and then he heels them into being his dogs . there\u2019s no doubt that this was a soul - scorching experience for those who survived it , but on screen it plays like cults - by - numbers ( an impression that\u2019s cemented by the film\u2019s linear progression and chintzy score ) .\nsee in particular the closing chapter of sincerity and authenticity ,\nthe authentic unconscious .\nfor an important recent defense of trilling ' s liberal approach to literature against reflex radical positions , see amanda anderson ,\nthe liberal aesthetic ,\nin theory after ' theory , ' ed . jane elliott and derek attridge ( london : routledge , 2011 ) , 249 - 61 . [ \u21a9 ]\nthis is not to say that for trilling the self is necessarily whole : he takes freud ' s conception of the unconscious very seriously as a challenge to the notion that the authentic self is autonomous and undivided . but one only has to compare the version of freud presented by trilling , wherein the truth of the self is primarily psychological , with the revisionist versions presented by lacan or derrida , who emphasize the role of language , to see the distance between trilling and theory . [ \u21a9 ]\nand the words\ni love you\nspoken during passionate lovemaking represent the apotheosis of this appeal to the responsive other . hence the\nsense of peril\nthat\nedges\nmadeleine ' s hoarse voice . but leonard ' s response demonstrates that there is another kind of peril at stake here , one that cuts deeper by questioning whether madeleine can mean what she says at all , and whether the simplicity that madeleine assumes lies at the heart of sincerity in fact dissimulates a more basic complexity . rather than respond in kind , leonard stays silent and reaches for the book madeleine has in her bag . it is\nbut what makes infinite jest the novel it is , rather than simply a representational drama of contemporary ideas about sincerity , is that the reader is made to participate in this process too . the first recounting of aa meetings in the text is prefigured by an opening five - page section in the narrator ' s own voice , which begins as follows :\nif , by the virtue of charity or the circumstances of desperation , you ever chance to spend a little time around a substance - recovery halfway facility like enfield ma ' s state - funded ennet house , you will acquire many exotic new facts\n( ij 200 ) . among these facts are the following :\n( new york : columbia university press , 1957 ) , and joseph frank ' s series of biographies on dostoevsky , passim . on the first title page of his copy of\non the inside of the second flyleaf in dostoevsky : the miraculous years , 1865 - 1871 , the fourth volume of joseph frank ' s biography of the russian writer ( princeton , nj : princeton university press , 1995 ) , wallace writes :\nsincerity & authenticity / or ' authenticity & sincerity ' / lionel trilling .\nthe reference comes in a list marked\nclassic dost\n( presumably classic criticism on dostoevsky ) , alongside references to fellow new york intellectuals irving howe and philip rahv . of these figures , only rahv is mentioned in the main text of frank ' s book , which suggests either that wallace had already read the works he names by trilling , howe and rahv , or that his research for his village voice review of the frank biographies ( a review reprinted as\njoseph frank ' s dostoevsky\nin david foster wallace , consider the lobster [ london : abacus , 2005 ] , 255 - 74 ) led him to these names and texts . for more on wallace ' s relationship to dostoevsky , see section v below . [ \u21a9 ]\nas we shall see , however , by the mid - 1970s the landscape had changed . theory had arrived in the us academy , and literary scholars began making themselves busy deconstructing the humanist conceptions of the self and literary expression that underlay the work of virtually all the mid - century critics , sociologists and writers i have just named .\nmight be apt for describing the era of dostoevsky or the european romantics , these terms had become thorny and problematic for those born in the postmodern age .\nalongside a wish to reconstitute social and communal bonds in the wake of that fragmentation .\nindeed , the novelization of these wordsworthian sentiments means that they are protected by an ironic ( and byronic ) awareness of their fictional status . their potential triteness is thus simultaneously embraced and held at a distance . at the heart of a work of seemingly avant - garde fiction thus sits an unillusioned acknowledgement of formula , alongside a barely repressed hope or belief that such formula need not entirely negate the expression of something genuine and real . 34 this makes infinite jest truly a novel for our times . how else , for example , can we imagine squaring our weary cynicism regarding the mediated quality of political sound bite culture with our yearning for something sincere to be expressed by our leaders nonetheless ? how else can we negotiate between our knowledge that all mediated performance is artificial and our need to judge and make decisions regardless ? wallace ' s novel employs complexity and impurity in the service of his text ' s sincerity , paradoxically mobilizing the contaminations of the fictional to access the true .\nby the late - century american writer david foster wallace . in what follows , i present trilling and wallace as exemplifying two moments in what i call the dialectic of sincerity ; i argue that by tracking the historical movement from one writer to the other we can observe a shift in the cultural meaning of this concept . while i take as my premise that trilling and wallace can be understood to share a tradition , the tradition of american literary and intellectual history , it is not a negligible fact that one was primarily a critic and the other a novelist . partly for this reason , i place at the center of my argument not wallace ' s widely read manifesto essay of 1993 ,\ne unibus pluram : television and u . s . fiction ,\nbut his 1996 novel\nthe pilot episode of amazon ' s the marvelous mrs . maisel is now on youtube by chris compendio december 20 , 2017\nthe present essay was substantially completed while i was a postdoctoral fellow at harvard university . i would like to acknowledge the feedback offered by members of the harvard american literature colloquium , and the ideas and enthusiasm of the students in my seminar on david foster wallace and his generation . i am also grateful for postdoctoral funding received from the irish research council , and for the ransom center fellowship i received to undertake work at the wallace archives at the university of texas - austin .\n( new york : new york review of books editions , 2008 ) , x , xi . this\nliberation\nof taste from politics is something trilling himself recognized in the same footnote of\nby 1993 , when he published the highly influential\ne unibus pluram ,\nwallace had homed in on irony as the central problem of the age . now he argued that the political edge that irony had retained for an earlier set of american writers\nparataxis is a strange literary form , born at the beginning of the middle ages \u2026 flashing back and sideways , holding back the outcome of events , these tellers fracture old familiar and heroic tales into contradictory , multiple perspectives . it becomes impossible to move the story forward without returning to the past , and so the past both predicates the future and withholds it .\n,\nshe reads the following words :\nthe figure refers not to the declaration of love , to the avowal , but to the repeated utterance of the love cry . [ . . . ] once the first avowal has been made , ' i love you ' has no meaning whatever . . .\n( mp 67 ) . this is a theory of language entirely other to the one that undergirds madeleine ' s ( and trilling ' s ) understanding of sincerity , and it implies that language can betray the self rather than enable its expression . language , in other words , is\nnot a tool but an environment ,\nan environment within which , as wittgenstein puts it in a line wallace quotes in interview ,\ni don ' t know my way about .\n13 ( 1993 ) : 127 - 50 ( 148 ) . much has already been written on wallace ' s relationship to irony , but critics have tended to follow certain gestures wallace makes in\ne unibus pluram\nand in the interview with mccaffery which suggest that a writer can choose whether to make language a tool of irony or a tool of sincerity , as if the difference involved were simply one of intent . for instance , marshall boswell argues that in wallace ' s fiction ,\nhip irony is itself ironized in such a way that the opposite of hip irony\nspeaks and acts entirely through the vehicle of human beings , if there is a god .\nin one of the earliest and most thorough criticisms of the aa model as the ideal solution to addiction in infinite jest , mary holland offers an exemplum of this institutional critique in her psychoanalytic emphasis on the trope of narcissism . narcissism is made institutional in the aa program because the addict is asked\nblindly to submit his or her will to the universal experience of the program . when the program asks its members to ' identify ' with each other , it is requiring them to empathize with this standard story that each member tells , with their own story , with themselves . in this way , the aa and na programs ultimately ask not that members reach out to empathize with strangers but that they recognize their own place in this infinitely repeating sameness , the recursivity of addiction .\nholland ,\n' the art ' s heart ' s purpose , '\n233 . on holland ' s account , it is not so much that the self is prevented from locating an outside to the institution , but that the institution supports the notion that there is no outside to the self . as will be clear from my reading in this section , i view holland ' s emphasis on narcissism as serving to reinforce critically , via psychoanalysis , the very norms of expressive subjectivity that infinite jest questions in its revised account of what constitutes sincerity . [ \u21a9 ]\nwhen kept separate , these two styles of irony each allow space for the notion of an expressive subject , whether a socratic subject who questions accepted conventions or a romantic subject that raises itself creatively above the finite everyday . when threaded together in the work of derrida and others , however , these styles of irony would seem to make a prior expressive subjectivity impossible . anxiety over the political dimensions of this position on language and subjectivity spurred critics of derrida ' s work in the 1980s and encouraged derrida himself to foreground questions of ethics and politics in his later texts .\ntommy wiseau insists that he \u201dreally doesn\u2019t know\u201d how the film fared at the box office on its initial release . however , one industry source states that the combined gross from the two - week run at two theaters \u2014 the laemmle fallbrook and fairfax \u2014 was just $ 1 , 900 . michael rousselet , a young screenwriter who seems to be patient zero of the film\u2019s cult , says he first caught the movie at an \u201dabsolutely empty\u201d theater . \u201dit was like our own private mystery science theater , \u201d he says . \u201di was calling friends during the end and saying , \u2018you have to come to this movie . \u2019 we saw it four times in three days , and on the last day i had over 100 people there . \u201d soon , screenings of the room were thick with both laughter and cutlery . \u201dthe spoon thing probably started during the fourth screening with my friends , \u201d says rousselet . \u201di was like , why is there a spoon in the picture frame ? every time it came up , i\u2019d scream \u2018spoon ! \u2019 so we brought spoons . \u201d\nan image in a government briefing book helped a state department official see \u201cthe forest for the trees\u201d in the west bank\u2014and then was shared with the president .\nfor an analysis of the marathe - steeply conversational strand of the novel in which this larger political shift is debated most directly , see adam kelly ,\ndevelopment through dialogue : david foster wallace and the novel of ideas ,\nstudies in the novel 44 . 3 ( 2012 ) : 267 - 83 . [ \u21a9 ]\nthat wallace ' s new sincerity works in paradoxical , complex , and even contradictory ways can be said to increase rather than diminish his importance for our time . writing of trilling , louis menand notes that\nhis characteristic sentences turn in on themselves ; they can sometimes seem self - negating ,\nbut that\n[ t ] he cast of the mind that produced these sentences is not paradoxical ; it is dialectical .\nneither of these assumptions about selfhood and language would emerge unscathed from the age of theory ' s hegemony , nor could irony continue to be conceived in older , stable forms . in her astute study of the theory and history of irony , claire colebrook suggests that\n[ i ] rony may well be tied up with the long history of western subjectivism : the idea that behind language , actions , difference and communication there is a ground or subject\nthis brings us back full circle , of course , to trilling . the final claim of the present article is that the politics that emerge from wallace ' s fiction might be said to embody a sophisticated dialectical reimagining of trilling ' s brand of liberalism , what anthony hutchison has referred to as trilling ' s commitment to\nideas in modulation .\nstupid . just badly done . the ideas are good but every part of the execution made it worthless . hope someone takes the idea and completely rewrites the script with nuanced characters and hires some real actors otherwise it\u2019s great\nhas been a source of debate in scholarship on his work , but most critics generally agree with blackmur ' s description of the politics as\nnon - social ,\nthose of a man\nwhose way of dealing with life rested on the fundamental belief that a true rebirth , a great conversion , can come only after a great sin .\nr . p . blackmur ,\nin the birdcage : notes on the possessed of dostoevsky ,\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 .\nbuy or rent on amazon urltoken . the tale of a new york hipster who sets out on a quest to create the most sincere t - shirt ever and in the process , jumpstart the lackluster generation to which he belongs . urltoken\nwiseau followed up the room with 2004\u2019s homeless in america , a loose but rather moving documentary about the plight of los angeles street dwellers . \u201di wanted to show people that this exists , \u201d he says , with such sincerity that you want to hug him . \u201dbecause i myself did not know . my god ! \u201d wiseau is currently \u201dvery , very busy\u201d working on a number of future projects , including a sitcom called the neighbors , the pilot for which he has already shot . and his fame among comedians has started to pay dividends . wiseau recently filmed a sketch for the next season of tim and eric awesome show , great job ! \u201dhe kind of took over the set , \u201d recalls star wareheim . \u201dhe would yell , \u2018rolling ! sound ! speed ! action ! \u2019 you could tell he had this feeling that he was a master of cinema . \u201d\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 .\nmany histories of the rise ( and fall ) of theory are now available . exemplary instances are nicholas birns , theory after theory : an intellectual history of literary theory from 1950 to the early 21st century ( new york : broadview press , 2010 ) ; and fran\u00e7ois cusset , french theory : how foucault , derrida , deleuze , & co . transformed the intellectual life of the united states , trans . jeff fort ( minneapolis : university of minnesota press , 2008 ) .

year - old daughter enjoyed it too . however , i found the main premise - that a 6 - year - old boy who isn ' t yet reading ought to be pressurized into doing so - quite troubling . the reality is that children have a very wide natural time range for learning to read , even wider than they have for learning to walk or talk . some children learn at 3 , some at 12 or 13 . the late readers catch up very quickly with early ones , and are none the worse for it . yet everyone in the film , including the parents , is worried about the boy not yet reading fluently . he ' s still so little ! i loved the references to imagination in the story , and i think it should have focused wholly on that instead .\nthe other actors are pretty much trapped in the overheated burlesque mode . michael f . toomey and dana harrison , both inventive comics in previous s & co roles , can do little more than mug and yell as ma and pa otis . alexandra lincoln and alyssa hughlett play the otis teenagers , one an annoying show - off , the other a quiet girl who sympathizes with the poor ghost , but neither of them are permitted any character dimension either .\ni viewed this film with my 9 - yr old daughter as part of the 2012 dc filmfest . we both loved it for its heartwarming story and the outstanding animation . originally made in french , the version which we saw is entirely in english with no subtitles . through the generosity of aunt eleanor , nat is introduced to many of the characters of classic literature , such as alice ( of wonderland ) , the white rabbit , pinocchio , red riding hood , snow white , sleeping beauty , peter pan , and the little match girl . his vivid imagination makes up for being very slow to learn how to read , about which his older sister teases him without mercy . the setting on the beach allows the adventurers to encounter some creatures who add to the suspense as time is running out to save the day . we highly recommend this to be seen with your family .\nopening on french theatres on december 16 , this animated feature film ( entitled kerity , la maison des contes in french ) tells the magical story about a b oy who inherits a large book collection and who experiences the adventure of his life when the fairy -

sufficient adult until she ran out of her house in the middle of the night , convinced that someone was trying\nto put a bullet in [ her ] head .\nin effect , sonia was re - enacting the traumatic events of her lost childhood . separated from her family , she was deprived of 5 years of adolescence , as she fled from the nazis during the second world war . during that time , we know that her mother and most of her extended family were killed in mass executions . we also know that she was starving , frostbitten , constantly endangered and , as one psychiatrist described it ,\na jungle child .\nwhat she witnessed and how she survived , we may never know . she refuses to discuss her past . prisoner of her past is a documentary film that tells the story of sonia and her son , chicago tribune . . .\nwhat helps the children most is telling their stories , sharing their experiences , learning that others have gone through similar passages of pain . this is something that sonia never had the chance to do and was never even encouraged to explore . she has always felt deeply alone living with her past , truly a perpetual prisoner of that past who , tragically , can never be set free .\nuntil february 15 , 2001 , howard reich\u2019s mother , sonia , had managed to keep almost everything about her experience of the holocaust from her son . that night , she packed some clothes and fled her house in skokie , illinois , convinced that someone was trying to kill her . this was the first indication that she was suffering from late - onset post traumatic stress disorder , a little - known condition that can emerge decades after the initial trauma . for howard , it was also the opening of a window onto his mother\u2019s past . in prisoner of her past , howard reich has written a moving memoir about growing up as the child of holocaust survivors and finding refuge from silence and fear in the world of jazz . it is only when sonia\u2019s memories overwhelm her and howard begins to piece together her story that he comes to understand how his parents\u2019 lives shaped his own . the paperback edition includes an epilogue by the author that relates developments since the publication of the cloth edition .\nprisoner of her past tells the haunting story of a secret childhood trauma resurfacing , sixty years later , to unravel the life of holocaust survivor sonia reich . the film follows her son , chicago tribune jazz critic howard reich , as he journeys across the united states and eastern europe to uncover why his mother believes the world is conspiring to kill her . along the way , he finds a family he never knew he had . howard also finds psychiatrists in new orleans helping traumatized children who survived hurricane katrina , so they will not re -

known illness : late - onset post traumatic stress disorder .\na psychiatrist , whom howard consults about this , tells him that his mother was\non guard duty ,\nprotecting her family . the bad people were still out there after them . one time , sonia was discovered walking down the street late at night in their hometown of skokie , a predominantly jewish suburb of chicago . she was carrying her clothes in two brown shopping bags , escaping from the evil men who still wanted to put a bullet in her head . the psychiatrist says that sonia is reliving her past :\nthe holocaust has begun again .\nbut perhaps in her mind it never stopped .\nthe haunting story of a secret childhood trauma resurfacing , sixty years later , to unravel the life of holocaust survivor sonia reich . her son , chicago tribune jazz critic howard reich , tries to uncover why his mother thinks the world is out to kill her .\nwhile howard and leon are visiting a jewish cemetery in warsaw , leon decides that he wants to visit sonia in america because he thinks that seeing him might help her . in a scene that is almost otherworldly , sonia refuses to recognize leon when he walks into her room at the nursing home . howard shows her an old picture of her and leon sitting with her grandfather , but she refuses to look . she doesn ' t want to speak to leon , refers to him as a stranger butting in on her private conversation with her son . she won ' t even look at leon , but pays excessively close attention to her can of diet coke . later , outside in the corridor of the nursing home , leon says ,\ni am crushed .\nhe can ' t help feeling so , even though he and howard had earlier discussed sonia ' s possible negative reaction to his visit .\nhoward reich has been an award - winning chicago tribune arts critic and writer since 1983 . he is also a correspondent for downbeat magazine . in addition to covering jazz , blues , gospel , and world music for the tribune , he has authored several investigative reports that have been featured on abc\u2019s nightline and various national public radio programs . he is the author of three other books : the first and final nightmare of sonia reich : a son\u2019s memoir ( 2006 ) ; jelly\u2019s blues : the life , music , and redemption of jelly roll morton ( 2003 ) , written with william gaines ; and van cliburn ( 1993 ) . he most recently wrote , produced , and narrated a documentary film about his mother\u2019s unspoken holocaust childhood , prisoner of her past . reich graduated from northwestern university\u2019s school of music .\nhoward ' s mother , sonia , a holocaust survivor , is living in a nursing home in illinois and is having unusual trouble dealing with her life . she can ' t escape her past , yet it ' s impossible for her to confront it . she lives in a state of almost constant paranoia . it turns out that she is suffering from what is termed\nlate onset post traumatic stress disorder\nstemming from her horrible experiences as a child , running and hiding from the nazis and their collaborators . she still fears that\nthey ' re going to give me a bullet in the head .\nit is heartbreaking to see sonia , who otherwise appears to be a healthy and intelligent woman , so completely immersed in her delusions .\nhoward decides that he must find out more about his mother ' s past , to try to better understand her mental pain . so he takes a trip to eastern europe , to visit the places where his mother and other members of his family struggled to survive . he and a few others - - including sonia ' s polish cousin leon , also a survivor - - visit the small town of dubno in the ukraine where , at ten years old , sonia ' s parents sent her out of her home into the world outside because it was the best chance she had to stay alive . she hid and fled from the evil ones for years . it is hard to imagine how traumatic that must have been .\nafter sixty years , sonia\u2019s childhood trauma returns as delusion . her son , a journalist , pursues her hidden story . the film follows chicago tribune jazz critic howard reich as he journeys across the united states and eastern europe to uncover why his mother believes that the world is conspiring to kill her . along the way , he finds a family he never knew he had\u2026\nis now available for streaming and download worldwide via itunes , amazon , google play and vhx . the film tells the haunting story of a secret childhood trauma resurfacing , sixty years later , to unravel the life of holocaust survivor sonia reich . her son , chicago tribune arts critic howard reich journeys across the united states and eastern europe to uncover why his mother believes the world is conspiring to kill her .\nhoward notes a striking difference between sonia and leon . unlike sonia , leon is able to confront his past and even retain a few positive memories from his experiences . howard says ,\nleon is not afraid to look at his past . my mother can ' t go there . she is fighting that past , and he is accepting it .\nthe reason for this is that leon was helped in his plight by a czech family .\nleon actually had a childhood . my mother had years of flight and terror . she never had an opportunity to learn how to trust , and leon did .\nlater , leon very movingly pays tribute to the father of that family who saved his life and also , he knows now , kept him from falling into a spiritual well of hopeless paranoia .\nhoward and leon talk to many of the local ukrainians . one elderly woman takes them out to a field where she witnessed as a little girl the slaughter of hundreds of jews - - not by the nazis , but by other ukrainians . she shudders at the memory of it . howard asks her ,\nhow do you know they were ukranians ?\nshe looks stunned for a moment and then says ,\nbecause they were speaking ukrainian .\nsince sonia , like many other survivors , has always been reluctant to talk about the terrible times she has lived through , some of her past behavior witnessed by howard and his sister when they were growing up is only now beginning to make sense . they relate many instances that , at the time , did not strike them as particularly abnormal . for instance , howard recalls waking up in the middle of the night and seeing his mother sitting on the floor in their living room , alert , staring out the front window at the street .\nsonia reich was barely nine when she witnessed the execution of 12 , 000 jews in easternmost poland . she was among 100 odd people who escaped . sixty years on , the childhood trauma has returned to haunt her . now settled in us , sonia is perennially terrified that the world is out to kill her . her son , howard , now undertakes an arduous journey across us and eastern europe to find out why her mother feels this way . along the way he meets his family that he never knew existed . a brilliant film by gordon quinn , kartemquin films , on the little known medical problem : late -

\u00adinterest ; a new wealthy elite propagating wrongheaded ayn randian notions that free markets are always good and government always bad ; and a republican party using a strategy of attacking and weakening government as a way to win more power for itself .\nthen there is the excessive nostalgia for the heyday of trade unionism . while hacker and pierson acknowledge the negative role played by teachers unions in blocking education reforms that might have kept america higher in those international performance rankings , that fact gets barely one sentence . and as for wall street , they are too one - sided the other way . though wall street deserves much blame for the crash of 2008 and the subsequent great recession , the financial sector is not all a giant rip - off . many of its innovations over the past 50 years have been adopted around the world because they can yield significant economic benefits .\nso why did america turn against government ? with their previous book , \u00ad\u201cwinner - take - all politics , \u201d hacker and pierson won rave reviews for explaining why inequality has risen faster in america than in any other rich country and how a strategy started by conservative foundations and rich libertarians to limit and weaken government paid off spectacularly . this new book rehashes enough of that analysis to give readers not amnesia but d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu . it also contains grim new evidence , especially about the growing lobbying and legal influence of the business roundtable and united states chamber of commerce . hacker and pierson argue that \u201cno private organization in the history of american politics has assembled anything comparable in scope or capacity to today\u2019s chamber of commerce . \u201d\nnever having read this author before she does have a storyline that will call you to it . as i opened it up i was in for the duration right away because it will catch you , then throw you a whopper having you reading making faces as you see what direction it will go . sam and makenzie are the kidnappers in this story meaning they kidnap you . as things progress you will want to less and less leave it to do something else because it will have you trapped . you also become like a spectator at times rooting for love to win in this one . this is a bit different so you will not have to worry on predictable anything . you will also be glad you ventured in by the end .\na second chance at love comes in different forms . amnesia , temporary or permanent , is a rarely used medium for it , which is a shame . when written right , the love story that was becomes brand new for the characters and reader . it ' s an exploration of memories , a struggle of remembering , and the discovery of a new beginning . sam and makenzie ' s story probably mirrors a real life couple somewhere . not the amnesia and accident part but the\nwhat\nthat drove makenzie to pull away . i loved that the dual pov put me in each of their shoes . i loved being in their heads , loved that pull of whatever emotion they were feeling at the moment . this novella took me by surprise . not just because of how much story is packed into so few pages but because of the pace . yup , the pace . most short stories move quickly , a wham - bam - thank - you - ma ' am kind of a thing . this story was surprisingly slow but was so full . the mystery of what happened between sam and makenzie was given just as much page space as the heaviness of fear and uncertainty that dogged their post - accident footsteps . a beautiful gem of a story that is worth more than the words of this review , i hope you consider reading it . the reality and gravity of it is only eclipsed by the love and forgiveness at the end . complimentary copy received from publisher\nplease melissa shirley tell me there will be more ! i need to know what happens now . i loved this short but sweet love story , second chance with a twist . it had me teary eyed the entire book , and finally tears . it alternates between the two characters , which i liked so i was getting both of their perspectives of the moment . i could feel the tension and hurt as well as the love the entire time . after a car accident kenzie can\u2019t remember who she was , her husband or other aspects of her past . she knows she loves him she\u2019s drawn to him , loves everything about him . so as far as she knows their life was perfect before . sam knows differently . he\u2019s so sweet , caring , and the connection between them is so strong , the author made sure i felt it . it\u2019s sad at times reading his thoughts and fears , the uncertainty of \u201cthem\u201d when or if her memory returns . even though it\u2019s short , there\u2019s a lot of story in here . it\u2019s a difficult position for both of them to be in knowing vs . not knowing the truth and living with the fear of the truth coming out . i know for me i went back and forth on whether i wanted to know . what do you do with that information once you learn it ? can you even have a future without knowing ? can you fix the past , heal your heart and build a new future ? for me it was a relatable story . sometimes it\u2019s easier to just run from the pain than be honest with yourself and face your imperfections , especially with this topic . thank you for a great emotional and hopeful story . i am looking forward to reading more by this author , fingers crossed it\u2019ll be more of sam and kenzie\u2019s story .\n4 . 5 please melissa shirley tell me there will be more ! i need to know what happens now . i loved this short but sweet love story , second chance with a twist . it had me teary eyed the entire book , and finally tears . it alternates between the two characters , which i liked so i was getting both of their perspectives of the moment . i could feel the tension and hurt as well as the love the entire time . after a car accident kenzie can\u2019t remember who she was , her husband or other aspects of her past . she knows she loves him she\u2019s drawn to him , loves everything about him . so as far as she knows their life was perfect before . sam knows differently . he\u2019s so sweet , caring , and the connection between them is so strong , the author made sure i felt it . it\u2019s sad at times reading his thoughts and fears , the uncertainty of \u201cthem\u201d when or if her memory returns . even though it\u2019s short , there\u2019s a lot of story in here . it\u2019s a difficult position for both of them to be in knowing vs . not knowing the truth and living with the fear of the truth coming out . i know for me i went back and forth on whether i wanted to know . what do you do with that information once you learn it ? can you even have a future without knowing ? can you fix the past , heal your heart and build a new future ? for me it was a relatable story . sometimes it\u2019s easier to just run from the pain than be honest with yourself and face your imperfections , especially with this topic . thank you for a great emotional and hopeful story . i am looking forward to reading more by this author , fingers crossed it\u2019ll be more of sam and kenzie\u2019s story . a book lover\u2019s emporium\nceija stojka , a roma ( gypsy ) holocaust survivor , writer and self -

director of rare sensitivity and accomplishment . the late bharathan and he had such an impact on malayalam movies that their films never needed the prop of a star for marketing .\ninnale ( yesterday ) was a very beautiful padmarajan film made in the 1980s , starring shobhana , jayaram and suresh gopi . even today , keralites fondly remember the film and its unusual end .\nafter nearly two decades , the film will be remade in tamil and telugu with malayali actress navya nair donning shobhana ' s role .\nthis is the second role immortalised by shobhana in malayalam being remade in tamil ; the first being manichitrathazhu ( chandramukhi in tamil ) .\njoining the ranks of successful malayalam films to be remade in tamil is kasturiman . the film , directed by lohitadas , had meera jasmine and kunchako boban in the lead . it ' s the story of a gutsy young girl who worked as a housemaid while studying in college . later , she works to help her lover realise his dream of becoming an ias officer .\nreaders may recall the fight meera jasmine had with her family recently . her family accused lohitadas of forcing meera to pump her money into producing his films , something both the director and the actress denied . now , the news is that the tamil version of kasturiman is being produced by meera herself !\nshe plays the same role , while prasanna of five star and azhakiya theeye

tearjerker , ente veedu appuvinteyum had families filling the theatres , and was a blockbuster .\nnow , the film has been remade into tamil as kannadi pookal , with parthipan and kaveri as the parents while kalidas ' s role will be played by another malayali boy , ashwin . like kalidas , he will probably be the scene stealer when the film is released this week .\nan unusual award has come kamal

lohitha dass himself , the entire movie revolves around meera jasmine and her sacrifices .\nwith unpredictable sequence of events and crisp dialogues by jaya mohan , the movie is certainly an offbeat entertainer worth a watch .\nmeera jasmine walks away with all honors . meera steals the show playing a bubbly youth in the first part and a totally different portrayal towards the end . prasanna playing her lover , who shares her grief , has given a restrained performance .\nthe movie begins with arun kumar ( prasanna ) taking up charge as a collector in one of the districts in tamil nadu . his father pazhaniappan , once a rich film producer , urges him to marry the daughter of a rich money - lender for the money that he had borrowed from him .\nnow the entire story unfolds in a flashback . arun kumar and umashankari ( meera jasmine ) are students of a college and are at loggerheads with each other .\nboth mistake the other of coming from a rich family . after a sequence of events , they come to know the truth and eventually fall in love .\narun kumar ' s father borrows money from several men and is unable to pay . he then attempts suicide . umashankari steps in and helps arun ' s family .\narun comes to know that she hails from a poor family where her sister ' s hubby is crazy after her . he promises to marry her and rescues her from all trouble . meanwhile , umashankari borrows money to support arun in taking up ias . when he eventually becomes an ias officer , he reaches umashankari ' s house to take her with him . he is shocked to see umashankari , unable to put up with her sister husband ' s troubles , eventually hacks him to death in a fit of rage . she gets arrested and is imprisoned for nine years and arun kumar is posted in the same district . he then decides to wait for her .\nmeera jasmine has utilised the opportunity well to give a matured performance . looks fresh and charming on screen , she has yet again proved that she is not a glamdoll but an actress who can really perform .\nprasanna ' s role is simple and he provides the right foil to meera ' s author - backed role . prasanna again shows that he is a skillful actor .\nilayaraja as usual comes up with melodious tunes that fits the story . the film does not have technical polish . but is also technically not wanting .\nlohitha dass deserves all credit for giving a movie which is certainly different from run - of - the - mill stuff . the film may be slow for certain sections of the audience . but when you are telling a sensitive story , you have to show patience and perseverance .\nn oted scriptwriter and filmmaker from kerala , lohitadas was recently in chennai to give the final touches to his first tamil film , kasturiman . it was first made in malayalam , with the same title , starring kunchacko boban and meera jasmine . and yes , it was a huge hit . the tamil version has meera jasmine in the female lead once again , but the hero is prasanna of five star and azhagiya theeyae .\nlohitadas was the director who introduced meera jasmine to cinema with soothradharan . he was in the news once again after being held responsible for an open fight between jasmine and her family . the accusation by her family was that lohitadas was using meera ' s money to produce kasturiman , something the director vehemently denies .\ni have been in the industry for nearly 20 years . do you think i don ' t have the money to produce a film ? for the last time , i am producing this film , not meera .\nhe also brushed aside gossip from the malayalam , tamil and telugu papers about an alleged affair he had with meera , said to be another reason for the fight . lohitadas is blunt again , and does the kind of plain speaking he did in an earlier interview with rediff in 1997 . excerpts from a conversation :\ni have had offers to make films in tamil before , but i was busy with malayalam cinema . i also felt that if i didn ' t know the language and culture well , i wouldn ' t be able to make a film in that language . later , i realised there was no difference between human emotions ; they are universal . the story of kasturiman is universal .\nwhy did you choose this particular story ? there are several films that are more successful than kasturiman . is it because meera jasmine is a known name in tamil cinema ?\nnot at all . if i were to re - create other films , i would need a very strong hero to portray those characters . take the case of films like bharatam , kireedam , kamaladalam ( all with mohanlal in the lead role ) . without a strong hero like say , mohanlal , these films would not be successful .\nso , i thought i would make a film in tamil with a new hero . i thought of films that would fit into that category , which is how i decided upon kasturiman . i had initially thought of making a film with vikram , but the problem with me is i can ' t narrate a story to any hero . i can only write a script . in malayalam , i need not narrate a story to any actor . they know what i am capable of .\nin almost all your films , your protagonists are pawns in the hands of fate and society . in your last interview , you told me how your characters were dragged into certain situations by society . but kasturiman is different . did you make this film keeping in mind how the audience has changed ?\ni can ' t change just because the taste of the audience has changed . i will be the same till death . yes , with the way the world changes , we also change slightly in our viewpoint . but i am still the same lohitadas .\ni didn ' t say you have changed . for example , youngsters of the late 80s or early 90s could identify with the characters played by mohanlal in bharatam or kireedam , but today ' s youngsters have changed .\ni agree that today ' s youngsters have changed . i have not written many love stories before . i believe love is only a small element when you look at life from a larger perspective . in all my films , there was love , but it was not the dominant feeling . for a change , kasturiman is basically a love story , yet there is something more to it than love . the fact is , i don ' t know what the audience wants . so , i tell a story i believe in . if everybody knew what the audience wants , all the films would have been successful .\nmany say the reason malayalam films are not as successful as tamil films in kerala is because most malayalam filmmakers still live in the past , without understanding the changing attitudes of youngsters . do you agree ?\nno , i do not . all the stories we create are based on what was left behind by vyasa . not a single storyteller has said anything that vyasa has not . all the stories we tell are about human emotions and human beings . is there any difference in the way human beings behave ? no , they are still the same .\ni was bored when i wrote the same script again with some changes , but , while directing , it was a new experience . the location was new , the artistes were new and the language was different . it was like making a new film .\nmeera jasmine did the same role in malayalam as well . could she add any new dimension to the role now ?\nyes , she did add something new in some situations . when she did the malayalam version , she didn ' t know the character so deeply . when she did the role first , there was spontaneity in her acting . now , she knows what comes next .\ni just wanted a girl who looked like my innocent shivani for the film . meera looked the part . there was nothing more than that in choosing her .\nno . when she began acting , she was a young , innocent girl who didn ' t know how to walk , talk or face the camera . she was like a puzzled schoolgirl .\ni will tell you something , i get attached to all the people who work with me . while shooting for soothradharan , i found that meera had a lot of memories about her childhood . i knew anybody with memories would come up in life . when i introduced manju warrier too , i felt the same thing . she wasn ' t excellent in her first few films either but , with each film , she learnt more and blossomed .\nyou were accused of being the cause behind the rift between meera jasmine and her family . how did you handle the accusation ?\nas long as my conscience does not prick me , as long as my wife and kids understand me , i am not scared of anyone or anything . all who have accused me are people who think there is only one relationship between a man and a woman . i was very hurt , and it affected my creativity , hence the long gap between my films .\nit was reported that this film was produced by meera jasmine , which is why her parents were angry with her .\ndo you think i , who have been in this industry for two decades , do not have the money to produce a film ? do i have to take money from a girl who came in only a couple of years ago ? when i came here ( chennai ) , a journalist from a tamil magazine asked me , what are your feelings towards meera jasmine ? i said , love . ( laughs ) love does not mean lust . i love my mother . i also love my children .\ntrack - ennai ketkkum 00 : 00 track - ketkalaiyo 05 : 39 track - nethu varaikkum 10 : 20 track - oru porkalam 15 : 27 track -

similar structure - similar music . if your into films in any way you ' ll appreciate the that the final cut of this movie was made on a very small budget , but gives the feel of a much bigger movie . there is a believably tense atmosphere throughout the movie which is further drove into your being by the excellent music ( very similar to crash ) . the running time is short - but leaves you feeling as though you ' ve seen a lot more . the film is a character based one and is driven along by some pretty good acting . but the film is really too short for any of the leads to really stretch there acting skills . the main guy is actually the oldest brother from\nmalcolm in the middle\nand after watching this i hope he gets more work in the future . a very good film overall -

destructive neighbor , ultimately pushing her to confront her own pain . snapshot bio : after growing up in seven different countries while her father worked for unicef , tchaiko and her family landed in new york where she graduated from columbia university with a degree in african american studies . she has produced several short form projects : his / herstory with franklin leonard ( the black list ) , which premiered at the toronto film festival ; america\u2019s shadows\u2026hiv risk in black and latino youth , which received a ford foundation grant ; and her music videos which were featured on rsa films\u2019 black dog . inspired by her own journey with an eating disorder and self - harm , she made the short film solace . the feature script for solace was a semi - finalist at the 2012 sundance writers lab .\neach of the polyurethane dispersions of examples i - vii was drawn down on mylar \u00ae made of polyethylene terepthalate at approximately 8 wet mils and through - dried at ambient temperature . the mylar \u00ae and polyurethane were then dried for three minutes at 300\u00b0f in an oven . after drying , a 24 - hour delay passed to allow the polyurethane to equilibrate at ambient temperature . the mylar \u00ae was then cut into 1 inch wide strips . the dried polyurethane film was removed from the mylar \u00ae and its thickness was measured .\n( c ) a water - solubilizing compound having water - solubilizing groups to form an isocyanate prepolymer , having a nco to oh ratio of about 1 . 3 / 1 to about 4 . 0 / 1 , which is neutralized by reaction with a tertiary amine , dispersed in water , and chain extended by reaction with an amine , said polyurethane dispersion , when in the form of a film , having elastic properties comparable to rubber , a tensile strength greater than about 3500 psi , a 100 % modulus below 450 psi , a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi , and a percentage elongation greater than about 700 % at 72 \u252c\u2591 f .\nthe most common allergic response is type iv , a type of contact dermatitis caused by not only the protein in natural rubber latex , but by the additives which improve its properties . these additives include sulfur and sulfur based chemicals and accelerators , mercaptobenzothiazoles , thiurams , carbamates , and phenylene diamines . the type i is the most serious , and possibly fatal , allergic response . because of these past problems associated with the manufacture and use of rubber , polyurethane materials have been substituted for rubber in some applications . polyurethanes are advantageous because they can be biocompatible , can be fo\u03c0ned into films with high water vapor transmission , are cooler to wear , and are oil resistant and do not swell in the presence of body oils . use of these prior art polyurethane materials , though , has been problematic for several reasons . for example , many of these materials must be extruded , the . rmofo . rmed or solubilized in an organic solvent to be shaped for use . further , many of these prior art polyurethane materials are synthesized using a solvent , which can be detrimental if the resultant polyurethane material is used in applications necessitating a solvent - free polyurethane , i . e . , protective devices such as condoms , gloves , and catheters . thus , both safety and environmental considerations have necessitated a search for a waterborne , water - soluble , solvent - free polyurethane .\na prepolymer diluent may be used to render the viscosity of the copolymer dispersion low enough to process the product . the preferred prepolymer diluent is n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) , because it does not contain reactive groups , which will interfere with the reaction . it is preferred that a minimal amount of the n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) be used , preferably in a range of 0 - 10 % n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) by weight of the polyurethane dispersion . the maximum amount of n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) used is preferably 10 . 0 % by weight of the resultant waterborne polyurethane dispersion . however , the copolymer dispersion is preferably prepared in the absence of a diluent . in this case , the prepolymer should be made in a way that will minimize its resultant viscosity . in neat ( no solvent ) and solution polymers , viscosity is largely determined by the molecular weight of the polymer . to minimize the molecular weight of a finished prepolymer , an nco / oh ratio of 2 / 1 should be used . in this way the diol portions are essentially endcapped by the diisocyanate species , leaving an isocyanate terminal prepolymer of relatively low viscosity . as the nco / oh ratio of a prepolymer is reduced , the resultant viscosity increases dramatically . it is recognized that cosolvent free materials can be made at below 2 / 1 nco / oh ratios , but they become more difficult to process , pump , stir , etc . also , . higher temperatures will be needed to work with such a prepolymer .\n\u201ctribe\u201d directed and produced by jordan bryon tribe is about lgbt arabs risking their lives to be themselves in muslim - majority jordan . we follow the young bedouin trans - woman fleeing her tribe before they discover her secret transition ; the iraqi refugee murder - witness whose tribe are hunting him ; and the australian filmmaker determined to help without understanding the price of freedom in the middle east . these are some of tribe\u2019s threads - a powerful new film that weaves together the hidden beauty and tragedy of queer lives in jordan . snapshot bio : emerging documentary filmmaker and activist jordan bryon has worked on human rights films in australia , uganda , india , jordan , and afghanistan . head miles saw jordan enter a medium - security men\u2019s prison alone and follow the prisoners on their journey to redemption through creative expression . jordan embeds in hidden communities and builds deep relationships with people , allowing her camera to capture their rawest moments and present the tenderness , courage , and beauty that exist in struggle .\nas the nco / oh ratio of a prepolymer is increased above 2 / 1 , the molecular weight will be limited as with the 2 / 1 ratio , but the excess diisocyanate will function as a diluent , further reducing viscosity . while this is a desired effect , raising the nco / oh ratio above 2 / 1 can also have negative effects . when isocyanate content of a polyurethane is increased , the hardness , or modulus of the polyurethane , along with the yield point , is increased . this is undesirable for producing a\nrubbery\npolymer . also , when excess diisocyanate ( obtained from using an nco / oh ratio much greater than 2 / 1 ) is introduced into a dispersion , and this dispersion is then extended with a primary ( or secondary ) amine , high molecular weight polyureas may be formed . these materials are not soluble , but by controlling the ratio in the range of 1 . 8 to 2 . 3 the results will be satisfactory . if an excess of isocyanate is used the result may be gels or grittiness in a cast film , and sediment in the dispersion . this can lead to weakened films , which have a poor appearance . for these reasons , an nco / oh ratio of about 1 . 8 / 1 to 2 . 3 / 1 are desirable , and ratios of about 1 . 9 / 1 to 2j / 1 are most desirable .\n. another important factor in keeping prepolymer viscosity low is in the selection of raw materials , and the amounts in which they are used . the prefe\u03b9\u03c4ed isocyanates for this invention are isophorone diisocyanate and 2 , 2 , 4 and / or 2 , 4 , 4 , trimethyl hexamethylene diisocyanate , due to their positive effects ( high strength , low modulus , low prepolymer viscosity ) on processing and film properties . to further reduce prepolymer viscosity , a polyether polyol may be substituted in whole or in part for a polyester polyol . the preferred polyether polyol is acclaim 3201 , due to its low viscosity when reacted into a prepolymer , and due to its low monol content vs . conventional polyethers . the acid content of the water - solubilizing compound is yet another consideration for producing a low viscosity prepolymer . higher acid numbers will lead to higher viscosity , but there is also a minimum amount of acid needed to render a given polyurethane backbone dispersable . the preferred carboxyl containing diol in this invention is dimethylol propionic acid . the prefeired range of carboxyl containing diol or water - solubilizing compound is from about 2 wt . % to about 4 wt . % of the total prepolymer . the amount used will approach 2 wt . % as the backbone becomes more hydrophilic , as with higher concentrations of polyether diol . as the backbone becomes more hydrophobic , as with polyester based systems , the acid content needed for dispersion will approach 3 - 4 wt . % .\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 .\na biological act of terror has been unleashed upon los angeles , and as the denizens of the west coast metropolis are bombarded with news stories documenting the contamination of the city ' s water supply , turmoil grips the panic -

based celluloid world she planned to jump over to the position of a director . but it was not to be . she could not surmount the stumbling blocks placed on her path . her directional dreams were not be realized . now she has turned her eyes to the small screen . soon she would be vying for honors with television actresses like banupriya , radhika and monika .\npresently , she is playing the main character in the t . v serial , ' soolam ' . she is not giving importance to roles shedding tears , but she has decided to give priority to roles having scope for majestic and confident traits .\nsuva ! ensure your position and carve a niche for yourself in these roles at least .\nwith the release of the audio cassette of ' star ' , the tamil film world expects that the masses would become crazy for the songs because the music has been scored by a . r . rahman .\ntoday the songs of ' citizen ' have swayed over the psyche of the covers of film music , so to say . the song , ' i like you ' has captivated the attention of many like ' vasegara ' . today , ' i like you ' is here , there and everywhere from the famous t . v channel ' s to the tea - shops in the street corners .\nbut it has been copied from the ' i feel lonely ' of the famous english music director shasha . eventhough deva is a master at copying tunes , none can beat him at making the songs a super - hit .\nwhen you have ramba in the cast list of a film , the producers can rest assured of the triumph of glamour in their film . her thighs alone can do the trick . she easily scores as a glamour queen .\n' maams ' , the film in which she is acting alongside prabhu was about to be kept in abeyance because of financial stringency . but ramba has stepped in to resource the film by dragging out the mire of pecuniary hardship . she has given the clarion call :\nwait , wait . do not panic . hereafter , i shall take care of the film !\nthe alarm is over now .\nwhat has made ramba turn into a producer ? why this sudden desire ? maybe , she is following the foots steps of jyothika , ramya krishnan and meena . when all these established actresses themselves are making their own films , will ramba who is standing on the edge of the cine field lag behind ? is it a quest of survival . . . or is it a comeback bid ?\nfailure is not new to t . rajendar . push him into the deep sea and he will emerge safe soon out of the shallow waters , unhurt .\nhe released his film ' sonnaldhan kadhala ' immediately after his failure in the polls . the film cannot be termed a super hit . but the statistics of the commercial circles say that it is one of his successful films . no doubt , the profit is there .\nt . r has been grooming his son silambarasan from his childhood days , by training him to blossom into a full - fledged hero in due course . the two dance numbers rendered by silambarasan in ' sonnaldhan kadhala ' have received rave reviews from all the film - goers . the son has brought laurels to his father . he has made him proud . silambarasan has arrived for certain . t . rajendhar has decided to introduce his son as the hero in his next film , ' kadhal azhivathillai ' .\nhe is on the look out for the right pair for his son . his table is now replete with the photographs of many models of mumbai .\nshortly , you can see shakeela of south india ( ! ) on either b . b . c or star t . v ( ! ! )\nan entertainment company , ' xy t . v ' of england is going to make a documentary film with the title ,\nin the subject of the films which have degenerated the virtues of indian society\n, they are going to show the clippings of shakeela as proof of the the degeneration of the society . for this , xy t . v is gathering the details about shakeela through a team of investigators . after finishing with its through research ' xy t . v ' would be selling the clippings to b . b . c or star t . v .\nby the quirk of fate , despite all this fame , shakeela could not ensure a firm place for her in tamil films . what attraction mumtaj has , more than shakeela , one wonders ! !\nthose who are in the race for the title are shyam of ' 12b ' , srikanth of ' rojakoottam ' and richard of ' kadhal virus ' .\nas srikanth is sharing the screen with bhoomika , richard is featured alongside sridevi vijayakumar and shyam with simran and jyothika .\nshyam is a lucky lad . he has hit a jackpot in his very first film . the director is very famous . nothing is to be said about the heroines ( simran , jyothika ) . the subject is about the youth . the talk of kodambakkam today is that shyam would be the ' snehithan ' and ' vaseegara ' in the near future for our womenfolk .\nmadhavan has become the favorite actor of manirathnam ( formerly it was arvind samy ! ) . he has now been booked to act in the next venture of madras talkies . the name of the film is ' pepsi ' .\nsusi ganesan of ' virumbukiren ' has been signed to direct ' pepsi ' . ' virumbukiren ' is a long drag . it is tattering for the past two years to find its way . susi ganesan is in low spirits as the film is groping in the dark . now that he is going to make a film for his alma mater he can heave a sign of relief .\ni have been pleading with people to recognize my acting skills and also i have requested them to give me ample chances to prove my mettle . now i have got the required break . until now i was branded as a glamour queen . from here onwards , i will earn titles like ' action storm ' and ' acting star ' . i can surely do so .\ndirector\nsethu\nbala is a hard worker . he will work his way to the finish and see the talk undertaken fulfilled . therefore i like him very much .\nsathyaraj is going to reel out another film like ' ennamma kannu ' . the name of the movie is ' sound party ' .\nnow murali has been booked to act in the role originally allotted to karthik in the film , ' alli thantha vaanam ' .\nit is mumtaj who is acting in more films than others in the current season ? she has a dozen films to her credit .\nin ' narasimma ' , vijayakanth would be fighting against four stunt masters instead of the usual stuntmen .\np . suseela had left the tamil film world in the lurch by announcing that she won ' t sing again . now she is going to act some scenes in the film ' manadhai thirudi vittaai ' .\nonce the ajay - malavika pair was creating a sensation by acting together . now the pair has parted . at present , they are acting separately in tamil films .\nr . b . chowdhry is going to give a new lease of life to the movie , ' kamarasu ' which was shelved some two years back .\nhe story of simran is getting curiouser and , to quote alice , curiouser .\n( costarring ajith ) . and word was out that she was tamil nadu cinema ' s new queen bee .\nthen came the buzz about her romantic liaison with ace choreographer raju sundaram . simran , while acknowledging the relationship , indicated that wedding bells were not imminent - - but the industry buzz was that she was cutting down on her assignments .\nseemingly , without tripping over the svelte star . and her assignments seem to be getting more and more high profile with every passing day .\nin this film , jeeva , in fact , pulls off a casting coup , getting tn ' s two top heroines jyotika and simran back together in one frame .\n- - the 100th directorial venture of k balachander , doyen of tamil film directors . this one , incidentally , will see her sharing screen space with , among others , her very own raju sundaram .\nthe film , incidentally , has madhavan playing the father of two kids . and , again , mani ratnam , with an eye to scoring talking points , has cast malavika , daughter of ace carnatic singer sudha raghunathan and keerthana , daughter of matinee star parthiban and his wife , the erstwhile actress sita , in the two child roles .\nit ' s simran ' s entry into the cast , though , that ' s got the industry buzzing .\nit ' s simran , though , who ' s gone and landed the project -

- and lo , the truth tumbles out , that the child is actually the product of a brief liason between choudhury and madhavan , during their college days .\nchoudhury takes great pains to point out that she is the one who didn ' t want to get married , and that she is happy as a single mom - - but simran , feeling betrayed , walks out on the marriage and demands a divorce .\nthe story and more importantly , the characterisation , stumbles badly at this point .\nshe is wearing , on her way out the door , is one he had given her , she rips it off and flings that in her hubby ' s face as well .\nwhich would have been fine enough in a way . yet shortly thereafter , simran finds herself in financial trouble and accepts her by - then - ex husband ' s offer of funds .\nmeanwhile , the story moves on . to stage dancer lawrence raghavender , who likes simran . and to the nurse , sneha , who likes madhavan .\nsimran , after her initial eruption , finds all the old love returning , but for some reason never reveals it .\nsimran pushes madhavan into marrying the nurse , madhavan reciprocates by taking it on himself to get the dancer ' s parents to accept a divorcee as their daughter - in - law .\nfrom here on , the movie descends into uncontrolled chaos , against the backdrop of a double - wedding .\nit all ends with madhavan and simran being reunited , and assorted people learning assorted lessons .\nalas , by then , you get to a point where you care two hoots .\nbeing just one example of many ) . here , however , kb fails to convince .\nyou get the feeling while watching that kb , now into his 70s , is keen to prove that he can make contemporary cinema , about characters who are modern in their mindset and attitudes .\n) , his best friends would probably wish that he reverted to a more mature brand of film - making .\nwhen reviewing his ouevre , one needs to remember that kb started off as a stage director . in his early black and white movies , that influence showed . films such as\nbut for a while now , kb has been focussing on the small screen . in fact ,\nthe small screen influence shows here , with the screenplay having an episodic feel to it as opposed to the smooth narrative you expect in a feature film .\nthe small screen feel is underlined inadvertently by the fact that kb packs the cast with artistes who are regulars in his various recent serials .\nwhat a pity , considering the film has a lot of things going for it .\nbut good music , in this case , fails to give the movie legs at the box office .\nit is apparent that he has inherited the loose - limbed dancing style of prabhu deva . and some influences of his mentor show in his acting as well , as he turns in a competent performance .\nfor most of the part , madhavan looks bored . the accomplished simran on other hand contorts her face . that ' s kb for you .\nthe director for some reason likes to have his female stars make faces in close - up .\nkamal hassan , who owes his celluloid introduction to kb , steals the show in brief cameo where his gift for comedy is used to very good effect .\nstar comedian vivek ( another kb discovery ) bags a few laugh lines , but never really brings the house down .\nas an aside , while this film was on the floors , lyricist vaalee was being roped in to play a role which he did , in a small cameo .\nat the end of it all , you get the feeling that the director failed to keep control of his storyline .\nwhich is very sad , considering the director was known to be a control freak , and his trademark was a gift for intense , gripping storytelling .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\ncast : madhavan , simran , vivek , sneha , manivannan language : tamil banner : kavithalayaa director : k . balachander producer : pushpa kandasamy camera : venkatesh story : k . balachander screenplay : k . balachander dialogue : k . balachander lyrics : vairamuthu , vaali music : a . r . rahman year : 2001\nin the film madhavan and simran come as doctors . it is a love triangle with madhavan and simran ' s love messed up by the entry of sneha with whom madhavan has an affair . the film has music by a . r . rehman with lyrics by vaali and vairamuthu . cinematography is by a . venkatesh and raghunath reddy . k . balachander apart from directing the film also pens its story and screenplay , while the dialogue is written by gopu -

we are completely satisfied with antares - not only were they wonderful musicians but were also lovely people . thank you so much antares for making our wedding so beautiful ! - emily and steven 05 / 01 / 16\nthe antares musicians were amazing . they played every song we selected and sounded amazing . they made our ceremony and cocktail hour even better . it was definitely worth it and one of our favorite memories from the wedding .\nin the end , though , it\u2019s a bit trite . antares stumbles so badly in its first story that it\u2019s difficult to ascertain when it regains its footing . that\u2019s likely because the film never fully recovers , and what comes through clearly , a meticulously shot examination of sex and social status , never feels particularly urgent . when the final shots light up the screen , they are closer to vacuous than revelatory .\npart two of the film is called \u201cclaire . \u201d justine has now become so depressed that she can not even walk to the bath under her own power , or perform the simplest activities .\nthe antares musicians were a delight to word with and truly professional . it made for a very smooth flow to the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour . i would definitely refer them to other clients . anne berman special event & wedding consultant\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 .\nantares did a great job providing our ceremony and cocktail hour music . they are really talented and have an awesome music selection . they are also really organized and made planning the ceremony / cocktail hour music portion of our wedding a breeze . they provided us with a detailed questionnaire which we completed . from there antares had all of the information they needed . they prepared a cue sheet which they shared with us , and on the wedding day everything went off without a hitch .\nthe film is a rich feast visually . kirstin dunst won the award at cannes for best actress , and charlotte gainsbourg is every bit as good . although the subject matter of melancholia is certainly unusual , the film itself is probably the most traditional lars von trier has ever done . he has said that , \u201d a film should be like a stone in your shoe . \u201d i , however , did not feel the slightest rub in my shoes . the film\u2019s stylistic accessibility gives it a universality , and promotes a sympathetic identification with the characters , that is not always the case in von trier\u2019s oeuvre . melancholia has a deeper continuing resonance , for me , than any of his other films . it totally absorbs you and compels rumination about the deepest questions in life . parts of the film that von trier considered a parody of superficial , upper middle - class life , actually , ( as in the way ingmar bergman often used the same milieu , ) open up many touchstones with everyone\u2019s emotional experiences . families are families in the end , and how they deal with the messy stuff of life , offers much that compels and preoccupies us all . melancholia is a film that washes over you and through you and leaves you deeply moved and thrilled . the experience of it is more like viewing and inhabiting a piece of art , than merely watching a movie .\nwith all the raw , animalistic rutting that opens\nantares\n( followed by fits of jealousy , betrayal , bigotry , screaming , lying , cursing , attempted suicide , vehicular mayhem , and physical and emotional bullying ) , there is something eerily calm about this strangely compelling film . perhaps\ncalm\nis not so much the word as\ndeadpan .\nit is the tension , in fact , between matter - of - fact presentation and volcanic emotional content that creates its perverse appeal .\na string trio from antares played for our ceremony and cocktail hour , and they were wonderful . tammy was our point person before the wedding , and she was incredibly responsive and helpful with picking out our processional and recessional music , and she was also really communicative with our day of coordinator about cueing the ceremony . it\u2019s very clear that antares musicians have a ton of experience with weddings . i didn\u2019t get to hear much of the pre ceremony or cocktail hour music , but i received so many compliments about the fun music they played . we asked them to play more contemporary music , and our guests loved hearing instrumental versions of many songs , especially the game of thrones theme song ! i highly recommend antares \u2013 they\u2019re incredibly professional and experienced , and of course , their music was top notch .\nthis is from the film movement club , a club that puts out a film every month to its members and i have yet to see a bad one . this movie is from austria , and what we have is moments in the life of 3 women who live in an apartment complex , one women a nurse cheating on her husband , one women who is lying to her boyfriend that she is pregnant . and the other women trying to get rid of her husband . all three stores intersect with each other . i found it enjoyable . and if you get the chance for a quiet night alone , this is a good film . 4 1 / 2 stars put it in the collection .\nu7 centre - go bowling !

( also in toronto film festival - - contemporary world cinema . ) running time : 120 min .\nthe first section of the film is entitled \u201cjustine , \u201d after the kirsten dunst character , and chronicles her wedding at the opulent , castle home of her sister , claire , played by charlotte gainsbourg , and her wealthy husband , john , played by keiffer sutherland .\nthe antares musicians completely delivered on our wedding day . they performed both at the ceremony and during the cocktail hour . several of our guests ( and our photographer ) noted that it was the best music they ' d heard at a wedding . in the weeks leading up to the big day , their coordinator ( jill ) was highly organized and communicative , making sure we understood our options for the playlist and giving informed suggestions where we needed help . if you ' re looking for a string quartet , especially one that can play the beatles and beach boys with the same skill as classical tunes , antares is a great choice .\nthe film presents the only danger melancholia poses to earth is by direct collision . however , even a flyby could potentially be disastrous . it might\nslingshot\nthe earth out of orbit , and the tidal forces could also wreak havoc , depending on melancholia ' s mass .\ni had the same fear going in , and my reaction was just like yours , as well . it\u2019s amazing that someone can do a movie about the end of the world and have it not be depressing . it\u2019s part of what makes melancholia such a unique and original film .\nfan disservice : given what her character ' s going through and also the tone of the film , kirsten dunst ' s nude scenes are not supposed to be sexy . you have to give credit for kirsten going further than she ' s ever been in her career , though .\nwe hired the antares musician ' s 3 piece flute and strings trio for our september 12th wedding . my family originally wanted us to hire a band for the reception which can be very costly , so our happy medium was live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour . my husband and i were very pleased with the quality of service and professionalism we received from start to finish . my emails and phone calls were always returned in a timely matter , and the music that was played throughout was absolutely beautiful . we received many compliments from guests afterwards . i would definitely recommend the antares musicians to future brides looking to incorporate live music into their wedding day .\ni appreciate your comment about the plot spoiling . i thought long and hard about it , and even disagreed with my in house editor - my wife - about it . it felt natural in trying to express my reactions to the film , but i\u2019m having second thoughts\u2026 i might revise .\nscreening some of the most highly anticipated films of the season , along with special programs and series focusing on directors and avant - garde work , the 49th new york film festival starts on september 30 and runs to october 16 . take a look at the schedule and purchase tickets here .\nantares did such an amazing job at my wedding . they played all of our musical selections beautifully , we got tons of compliments all night . jill was a pleasure to work with and answered all of my questions in a timely manner . if i had to plan my wedding over again they would still be one of the fist vendors i booked !\nwe used the antares musicians for our ceremony and they were an amazing addition to our wedding . they provided beautiful music and were so easy to work with ! they are responsive , detail oriented and professional . we couldn ' t have asked for anything more ! ( side note : guests could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed the music )\nviennese director goetz spielmann , who helmed the impressively noirish \u201cthe stranger\u201d ( 2000 ) , brings the same coolly analytical gaze to more complex , subtly interlocking material in \u201cantares . \u201d centered on the love lives of three different women in an anonymous housing project , and fanning out into a group portrait of sexual and emotional follies , cleverly constructed script [ \u2026 ]\nthe antares trio created a perfect musical performance for our wedding and the reception and dinner that followed the ceremony . accomplished professionals and highly talented performers , these musicians provided the elegance of classical pieces to underscore the formal commitment of bride and groom to each other and then provided a robust repertoire of show tunes and popular music to animate the revelry after the ceremony .\nthe film begins with this gorgeous , slow motion , cinematic ballet of cosmic death , choreographed to wagner\u2019s tristan and isolde . as viewed from outer space , this cosmic dance of death is almost sensual , and certainly as lyrical as anything in kubrick\u2019s \u201c2001 . \u201d it\u2019s both a prelude to the main body of the film , and a documentation of the end . before the first character comes on screen , we have already seen their eventual fate . that first introduction of characters is similarly done in an expressionistic , slow motion scene that visually weaves the fate of the main character to the planet\u2019s own inevtiable attraction to a gravitational field bigger than its own .\nwe couldn ' t have been happier with antares musicians . we initially booked them for our ceremony for our black - tie wedding . they not only learned our favorite songs for our processional and recessional , they played our cocktail hour as well with very little notice ! very professional , fantastic song selections , we were just thrilled . added fantastic atmosphere and made our ceremony unforgettable .\ni have never seen a film that left such a long lasting impression on all my senses as melancholia . and , in spite of my trepidation that it was going to be an immensely depressing movie , somehow it\u2019s not . as you pointed out , so much more than a movie \u2013 a real lasting work of true art .\neither way , what saves antares is precisely who is connected . our characters range from store clerks to realtors to nurses who don\u2019t have to think twice before looking for another apartment , and whether they are austrian or yugoslavian , they can be both sexually frustrated or unfaithful . furthermore , these characters tend to look a great deal alike\u2014the women are very blonde , and the men are neither tall , clean - shaven and combed or scraggly with facial hair\u2014and it\u2019s an effective way of literalizing their commonalities . regardless of social status , antares \u2019 cast are grappling with the same issues and playing roles , however small , in the lives of each other . spielmann may not do any more than say we are all connected , but he makes sure to be inclusive about it .\nbut spielmann\u2019s other emphatic mark , his fascination with sexual betrayal and satisfaction , actually bogs down the film\u2019s inclusive nature . eva\u2019s story is largely without plot and spends much of its time with extremely graphic sex scenes , a decision which paradoxically disconnects eva from the following two stories . after emphatically declaring that the film will be no frills when it comes to portrayal of sex , it doesn\u2019t take long to backpedal , and the unintended elephant in the room is what makes sex between these two so special ? is it supposed to be more honest or is it supposed to be more disturbing ? why ? certainly , or at least hopefully , it is not because of class .\nas unceremoniously as he arrived , tomasz departs , precipitating a not entirely unexpected change in eva ' s relationship with her family . spielmann ' s film , at this point , picks up its second thread , one concerning a grocery clerk named sonja ( susanne wuest ) and her philandering , immigrant husband , marco ( dennis cubic ) . while the director has spoken of how\nantares\nis about\npeople trying to break out of their loneliness ,\nhere that effort manifests itself in sonja ' s pretending to be pregnant to hang onto her man . it ' s not enough , of course - - how could it be ? - - but what turns out to be enough , in the end , may surprise you .\nnot even bothering with the accent : everyone in the film uses their natural accent , so it ' s not clear where the film takes place . claire and justine are sisters with british parents , but dunst as justine uses her american accent . she works for a swedish man who has a nephew with an american accent . the resort ' s butler is danish and the wedding has a german planner . claire is married to an american man and their child has an american accent , while gainsbourg as claire herself doesn ' t hide the fact that she ' s of mixed anglo - french origin , speaking in a bit of a ( hardly discernible ) french accent every now and then .\nit captures the tragic - romantic - depressive mood that permeates the movie . in fact , the idea for the film was generated by a therapist\u2019s suggestion to von trier , ( who famously suffers from depression and anxiety disorders , ) that depressed people often remain calm in highly stressful situations . it doesn\u2019t get more stressful than the literal end of the world .\nthe antares musicians were absolutely my favorite aspect of my wedding . the string trio was perfect and were such an elegant touch for our big day . from performing all you need is love at the end of our ceremony to playing fun songs like sweet caroline and the game of thrones theme song during cocktail hour , everything was just perfect . i ' m still hearing compliments about the music from friends and family .\ng\u00f6tz spielmann ( b . 1961 , wels ) grew up in vienna , studying screenwriting and directing there . his films include erwin and julia ( 1990 ) , the neighbor ( 1991 ) , this na\u00efve desire ( 1993 ) , fear of the idyll ( 1994 ) , the stranger ( 1999 ) , daybreak ( 2001 ) and antares ( 2004 ) . he has also recently written and directed for the stage .\nshe comes to the castle to live with claire , john , and leo . gradually with claire\u2019s nursing she becomes better . the focus now shifts to what was thought previously to be the star , antares , and is now revealed as a huge planet on a rogue orbit through the galaxy , called melancholia , because of it\u2019s blue color . as it becomes clearly visible on its own , everyone flock\u2019s to john\u2019s telescope .\nthe second part of melancholia belongs to claire ( charlotte gainsbourg ) . justine has come to live with claire and john following her wedding , and she has disintegrated so precipitously that she needs help undressing and bathing . claire is worried . john is too , but he is more taken up by a celestial event that seems to be happening , an event that justine had already noticed on her own . she had glanced up at the dawn sky and saw that a star is suddenly missing from scorpio . antares , the brightest star in the constellation , is no longer there . apparently , a planet is now blocking antares , a planet no one had heard of before . it is named melancholia , and the scientists predict that its trajectory may very well end up interfering with the earth , although it may well miss the earth , too . no one is sure what will happen .\nabove , the couple arriving two hours late for their wedding party , and , above , right , pausing to stare at a strange celestial object , with claire and john , the evening\u2019s hosts . while everyone else seems transfixed , claire stares away , tensely and with , as it turns out , appropriately ominous , premonition . john , an amateur astronomer , explains that the object is the star antares , hidden by the sun , and harmless .\nthe musician at my church dropped the ball and i had to book ceremony musicians less than a month before my wedding , so understandably i was a little frantic . after sending around tons of inquiries , jill responded within a few hours , we had a phone call that evening , and i booked the antares musicians within a few days . we had a trio - violin , flute , and cello - and jill helped me pick the music , as well .\nthis was truly a great investment . i hadn ' t seen musicians play at any other wedding i ' ve been to , but i am beyond happy that my husband and i chose to have them at our wedding . they were absolutely perfect and also a phenomenal value . so many aspects of planning a wedding seem overpriced , but the antares musicians were not only reasonably priced , but they were worth so much more and were a perfect fit for our wedding .\nwhen i began the wedding planning process , i had never thought about having musicians at my wedding . the antares musicians appeared on a recommended vendor list from our venue , so my husband and i decided to check out their website . we were instantly delighted listening to their clips , as there was not only classical music but more contemporary songs as well , like from the beatles . we decided to go for it and hired them to perform our reception and cocktail hour .\nthe antares musicians played for our wedding ceremony and a 1 - hour cocktail reception . they were outstanding ! ! ! the live music added something special to our wedding . they added a personal touch to the ceremony that wouldn ' t have been present with a dj . the musicians were wonderful and accommodated our special requests for a couple of tunes that we both liked . we highly recommend these musicians - - - - - our ceremony was beautiful and we loved the music .\nthis 2 - kilometre long route starts from ko\u015bciuszko square and leads to the foot of kamienna g\u00f3ra . you can continue walking along the beach to the cliff in red\u0142owo , the pier in or\u0142owo or even as far as the neighbouring resort of sopot . gdynia is also associated with the polish film festival , becoming a polish cannes each year in spring . the audience can attend festival shows and meetings with visiting movie stars .\nif you\u2019re lars von trier , the world ends in total destruction , as it both implodes and explodes , in the opening sequence of his new film , melancholia . the earth\u2019s atmosphere is ripped away by the gravitational pull of a wandering , giant blue planet , named melancholia , which literally consumes the earth , as it draws our planet in to the point of implosion / explosion , and burns it up . point , fire .\nin a way , the bang ( which is , at the same time , a whimper ) that closes this episode brings the film full circle , tying up its disparate elements - - fear , anger , sadness , hurt , lust , jealousy - - in a single , if not especially tidy bundle . it may not offer any profound insights into human misery except this one : we all , at one point or another , are touched by it .\nthe film is divided into two halves , titled\njustine\nand\nclaire .\nit appears that the two sisters exchange personalities , but to no great effect . maybe the approach of an overwhelming event has dissolved the membranes of personalities . notice how jack , the ad man , continues to place importance on his ad slogan . and how gaby lashes out at the very notion of a wedding or a party . there is displacement here that is frightening .\nsliding scale of idealism versus cynicism : pretty much breaks the scale on the cynicism side . it doesn ' t really matter that the world is going to end and possibly all life in the universe will be extinguished ; life is so shitty and devoid of meaning that it ' s a good , perhaps even beautiful thing . sort of justified , in that the whole scenario is a metaphor for depression , except that the director is pretty much romanticizing it with this film .\nviennese director goetz spielmann , who helmed the impressively noirish \u201cthe stranger\u201d ( 2000 ) , brings the same coolly analytical gaze to more complex , subtly interlocking material in \u201cantares . \u201d centered on the love lives of three different women in an anonymous housing project , and fanning out into a group portrait of sexual and emotional follies , cleverly constructed script overstays its welcome in an unnecessary coda but for most of the going is involving drama , with fine performances from the ensemble cast . strong fest item could secure some european arthouse exposure , followed by specialized tube sales .\nthe grittiness of the special effects portraying the approach of melancholia adds to the dazzling look of the film , and to a sense of intensifying horror and doom . the sound drops out of the picture in the second half , and the air is filled with a barely concealed dull roar , the roar of the planet ' s approach . it ' s very eerie . claire weeps for the inevitable destruction of the planet earth , weeping for herself , for her son , for the end of everything .\nthe final chapter spins off sonja and marco ' s dysfunctional relationship into the sick dynamic between the woman marco has been having an affair with ( martina zinner ) and her real estate agent ex - husband , alex ( andreas kiendl ) , a package of damaged goods if ever there was one . angry with the world ( immigrants , his ex , his clients , himself ) , he ' s a walking time bomb , or , to pick up the metaphor suggested by the film ' s title , a star destined to explode as a supernova .\nmelancholia is a 2011 speculative fiction film written and directed by lars von trier . it mainly focuses on the relationship between the two sisters justine and claire , played by kirsten dunst and charlotte gainsbourg . the movie is divided into two parts , the first about justine ' s wedding , the second about the upcoming fly - by of the rogue planet melancholia that ' s drifting through the solar system . the focus lies on how the characters relate to the events surrounding them , from the mundane event of a wedding to the possibility of a planetary collision .\nin any film involving the destruction of the globe , we know that , if it is not to be saved , there must be a\nmoney shot\ndepicting the actual cataclysm . i doubt any could do better than von trier does here . there are no tidal waves . no animals fleeing through burning forests . no skyscrapers falling . none of that easy stuff . no , there is simply a character standing on a hill and staring straight at the impending doom , as von trier shows it happening in what logically must be slow motion , with a fearsome preliminary merging of planetary atmospheres .\nthe opening of lars von trier ' s melancholia is magnificent , reminiscent of a high - concept couture spread in vogue italia , with excruciating slo - mo and a parade of surrealistic tableaux , all to the bombastic accompaniment of wagner ' s\ntristan and isolde .\nthere is an intensifying burn as the film builds to its apocalyptic second half , a powerful and dreamy statement of the inevitability of disintegration and destruction , as seen through the deadened - by - sorrow eyes of kirsten dunst as justine , whose wedding sparks a cloud of despair in her so deep that she cannot be reached .\nthis is the first time we see justine ( kirsten dunst . ) she seems to both strain against and also be pulled toward an invisble force , just like the earth is , in the heavens above . the first part of the movie is the story of justine\u2019s wedding . her mental illness , more than just normal depression is on display early , and in fact the wedding night ends with the marriage and justine\u2019s career in tatters . this beautiful image , left , is part of an early montage that reflects a sense of the morbid fairy tale that is about to unfold . the film\u2019s visual style is \u201d a clash between what is romantic and grand and stylized , and then some form of reality , \u201d according to von trier . yet the melding of styles of kubrick\u2019s sensual , fluid , visual imagery and bergman\u2019s intense , elegiac , naturalistic acting ( enhanced by a lot of hand held camera shots ) blend quite effectively throughout the film . the mood and composition of the shot above is certainly a reference to the well known pre - raphaelite masterpiece by john millais , called , ophelia , below . it was painted in 1852 , and is an illustration of the death of ophelia from shakespeare\u2019s hamlet .\nworking with the antares musicians was such a breeze ! the value for the service they provided was phenomenal . i wish i had an excuse to have another event because i would hire them again in a heartbeat ! jill was very responsive through email and offered suggestions when i did not know the best course of action . tammy , shane , and the third violinist ( i can ' t remember his name ! ! ) were so friendly and kind . my wedding guests commented on how lovely they sounded , and how classy they made the wedding feel . i cannot thank them all enough for their professionalism , talent , and the skill they brought to our wedding day . thank you ! ! !\nconstructed as three interlocking stories featuring the residents of an austrian apartment complex -

lifes making each other ' s lives miserable . neither the characters nor the stories are particularly interesting . of course everything comes together in a predictable finish .\nas justine has improved , claire has become increasingly agitated and fearful that the world is coming to an end . she has started obsessively doing internet research and finds data that shows melancholia is on a collision course with the earth , and that john\u2019s analysis is wrong . at first , the collision theory is portrayed as a kook conspiracy notion , but eventually , is proven to be true . the characters reactions to this reality and their varying levels of acceptance of it , takes up the last third of the film . john pretends it\u2019s not true . claire\u2019s agitation and fear keep mounting for herself and her child , while justine becomes almost calmly philosophical and accepting , even as the climate changes and strange precipitation falls from the sky\ndunst , whose persona on film has often been effervescent and humorous , is a revelation in melancholia . her depression is tangible , seen in the dark shadows in her eyes , the flatness of her affect . she portrays a woman in the grip of something she cannot even name . in one scene , she goes into john ' s study , where there are art books on display along the shelves . the pages are all open to colorful abstract paintings , cheerful blocks of reds and blues . in the grip of melancholia , she flips through all of the books , looking for paintings that more accurately reflect her mindset , dark disturbing images of death and torture . dunst goes very deep in melancholia , and her performance is mysterious , compelling , and emotional . it is her best work yet .\nif i were choosing a director to make a film about the end of the world , von trier the gloomy dane might be my first choice . the only other name that comes to mind is werner herzog ' s . both understand that at such a time silly little romantic subplots take on a vast irrelevance . doctor johnson told boswell :\ndepend upon it , sir , when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight , it concentrates his mind wonderfully .\nin the cast of von trier ' s characters , impending doom seems to have created a mental state of dazed detachment . they continue to act as if their personal concerns have the slightest relevance . von trier has never made a more realistic domestic drama , depicting a family that is dysfunctional not in crazy ways but in ways showing a defiant streak of intelligent individualism .\na devastating car accident forces a nurse , a supermarket checkout girl , and a high - strung real - estate agent to come to terms with their true longings and needs while searching for love and human contact in austrian filmmaker g\u00f6tz spielmann ' s stark and sexual drama . though their lives couldn ' t be more different , it only takes one act of sudden and unexpected tragedy to bring three lost souls into contact and forever alter the course of their lives . over the next three days , each of these previously unconnected individuals will learn not only the value of time , but the true motivations that drive them and the effects that their actions can have even on those they might have never considered . lives that intersect at critical moments , skillfully woven into a film about the obsessions of love , the search for closeness , and the hope for happiness . about fear , loneliness , and courage .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

they have better pacing than the veteran duo , and this film is great . not as slapstickish as others , and the only slow part is the beach scene . i love the ending fishing segment before the stooges are almost blown out of the water . memorable scene : the hilarious fishing segment . rating : 3 1 / 2 starsbeatlemoe\nfilmed in 1960 and in color , the three stooges scrapbook was originally shot as a television pilot . . . it did not sell . all was not lost however , as the film was distributed to theaters in september of 1963 as\nalmost no violence takes place on screen , but there are times when \u201cin the valley of elah\u201d feels almost like a horror film . its steady crescendo of suspense builds toward the revelation \u2014 and vanquishing \u2014 of some unspeakable , monstrous evil .\nbehind - the - scenes 16mm home movie footage , in color , exists . the silent film materials were discovered in 2007 and feature the stooges , jules white and the actresses who portray the stooges girlfriends on set at the columbia ranch .\nin my capsule review of the movie , i liken it to goethe\u2019s novel \u201c elective affinities , \u201d from 1809 , in which the marriage of a high - bourgeois couple is threatened by the arrival in the household of the husband\u2019s best friend and the wife\u2019s young prot\u00e9g\u00e9e . goethe called his novel theoretical , and \u201cdrinking buddies\u201d is , too , and swanberg works out his moral idea in a surprising way .\nthe characters in \u201cdrinking buddies\u201d are hardly characters , in the way that they\u2019re conceived in the era of highly - detailed , hyper - motivated tv dramas . they\u2019ve got names , they\u2019ve got occupations . they have almost no backstory and almost no psychology\u2014but the performances , which are improvised in dialogue and gesture , render the characters both intensely , physically , tonally specific and give the characters a spotlit intensity of inner life .\nclassic curly calamities ! the whole film is great , but nothing can beat the boy ' s opening mayhem as\ntroubleshooters from the phone company\n. extra kudos to bud and lorna . darn , i can ' t think of a signature !\nviewed from one angle \u2014 straight on , from the ground level of its busy plot \u2014 \u201cin the valley of elah\u201d might be mistaken for a tidy crime procedural . a retired military police officer named hank deerfield ( played by tommy lee jones with his usual brisk , gruff economy ) learns that his son mike ( jonathan tucker ) , an army specialist recently returned from iraq , has gone awol from his base in new mexico .\ncalahan was seduced by the notion of giving the film the feeling of a perfect october day in france . \u201cwhen we went to paris , it was sunny , but the light was so silvery and diffused and everything felt very soft and warm and inviting . that was the kind of overall quality i wanted for the movie , \u201d she says . \u201cthe film isn\u2019t lit with a lot of heavy colored light and heavy colored shadows in the usual way because i really wanted to celebrate the local color . \u201d\nsome of waggoner\u2019s favorite costumes are those of august gusteau himself , who was once a very robust man but has become a ghostly sprite . \u201cwe designed the clothes first for the living version of gusteau , then shrank them down to size for the sprite you see in the film , \u201d waggoner explains . \u201cbut we also wanted his clothing to be very sophisticated and highly tailored . there\u2019s really no precedent for designing clothing for some of the body styles we have in the film , so that made it very interesting . \u201d\nin a money - saving move , norman maurer devised a storyline which allowed the reuse of much of the footage from the first half of the pilot , and printed it in black & white for the feature film the three stooges in orbit ( 1962 ) .\ncurly : i ' m getting sick and tired of making chips for you guys . i gotta get busy for my radio contest .

like natures and wonderfully familiar dilemmas \u2013 from family squabbles to job headaches to standing up for friends \u2014 are the result of a collaborative artistic effort that starts with a stellar voice cast and continues with the film\u2019s cutting - edge animation , filled with a layered artistry that makes both the film\u2019s animal and the human characters stand out creatively in the cg world .\nthe presence of an adult is interesting and i really liked that the duo teamed up here . of course that ending where the mischievous baby winks to the audience is the highlight and the film does have its moments , but given its premise , it should have been much better executed .\ngreat short . all three are at the top of their game . so many of the standard stooge gags were first seen here which makes me think that the stooges should have gotten writing credits more often than they did . arthur houseman almost steals the film , though , as the timekeeper .\nthe misunderstanding implicit in all these statements is that the priority of the day is your time , your enjoyment , your feelings , your creative fulfillment or your education . instead , know this : every day on a job in film is an opportunity to prove that you deserve to come back tomorrow , nothing else . instead of asking yourself if you are having fun , ask yourself if you\u2019ve done everything you can to help the film succeed . instead of asking yourself if something is worth your time , think about why it might be important to others . if you make yourself valuable , you will begin to be valued .\na film set is a uniquely judgmental place . everyone is relying on each other , so everyone is constantly evaluating whom they can rely on . it\u2019s not enough to do the job , or even to do the job right . you have to do it right and look like a pro while you\u2019re doing it .\nre - review : the worst curly short . over half of this episode is reused footage . even though the\nwe put all the yeast in bit\nis good , the rest of the film just drifts , especially the\nso long mr . chumps\nfootage . overall , a very lousy short .\ni thought this was a rather dull , uninvolving film . there was too much focus on one couple and not enough on the other . it ' s no surprise that the distributor has essentially buried it - two cinemas in dublin giving it a single late show only . that ' s usually not a good sign .\njust as a film set is broken up into departments with specific responsibilities , departments are broken up into individuals with even more specific responsibilities . your department head has a million things to be concerned with , and their mind must be clear for high - level strategizing and communication . you are there to eliminate their concerns .\namidst the perils and pratfalls , the film also traverses through universal themes : the bonds of friendship and loyalty ; the battle against family expectations and finding your own independence in spite of them ; and most of all , the importance of being true to who you are , even if you\u2019re not quite what anyone expects .\nanother key theme in the film is that of colette , which giacchino explains \u201csurrounds the whole cooking process . \u201d he continues : \u201cyou hear it for the first time when colette is teaching linguini what to do in the kitchen and what he needs to know to be a great chef . then , it kind of changes throughout the film , depending on what\u2019s going on . when linguini has to come up with an off - menu dish and remy starts improvising , that same theme is used in a much more improvisational way , the same way that remy is just going off the cuff and making up the recipe as he goes . the themes and the music constantly change with the story . \u201d skinner\u2019s theme also shifts with his mercurial moods \u2013 starting out with a hipsterstyle french jazz theme that grows increasingly frenetic and orchestral as he loses control of the kitchen . \u201cthe theme starts out cool and suave and ends up a little insane , just like the character does in the film , \u201d laughs giacchino .\n\u201cdrinking buddies\u201d is a brilliant sleight - of - hand , which i mean in a positive way . most of the classic hollywood movies that we love\u2014whichever they may be\u2014are works of magnificent trickery , from the use of studio sets to the painted backdrops of cityscapes to the use of rear - screen projections and miniatures . though swanberg\u2019s methods are resolutely naturalistic\u2014he films actors on location , in places where any viewer could theoretically go\u2014he projects the micro - crises of daily life with a big - time hollywood grandeur . it\u2019s the second movie currently in release\u2014the other is david lowery\u2019s \u201c\nthe rats of ratatouille might have an engaging realism , even humanism , to them , but they are also very much a part of a fairy tale \u2013 which becomes especially clear in the scenes in which remy controls linguini like his own chef marionette . for the filmmakers , the entire success of the film hung on getting the audience to believe in this fantastical and funny notion . \u201cthe animators worked it out so just the slightest tug of linguini\u2019s hair creates a movement of his hand , \u201d says brad lewis . \u201cit\u2019s just so funny . this film has so much old school buster keaton physical humor , it has you laughing your pants off without a single word being uttered . \u201d\nthe original working title was three duds in the suds and was originally intended to be a two - reel version of laurel and hardy ' s feature , pardon us ( 1930 ) . the original script contains many gags used in the laurel and hardy film , including a reworking of the scene in prison school that appears in pardon us .\nindeed , with its fast - and - furious comic pacing , its madcap antics and its painterly beauty , ratatouille features some of the most sophisticated visuals yet seen in a cg animated film , once again nudging the technical bar for animated filmmaking skyward . among the film\u2019s many unique qualities is its locale \u2014 an ornately magical imagining of paris . then there is the food . not just any food , but the most delicious , scrumptious , artistically presented gourmet meals imaginable . all of which takes audiences into a realm of sublime visual delights previously unexplored in cg animation and helping to create an utterly authentic world in which audiences might even believe that a rat could be a chef in the kitchen .\nit\u2019s unlikely that a veteran m . p . , whose service covered at least some of the vietnam years , would entertain the illusion that all fighting men are boy scouts . but it is clear that hank has both a general fondness for soldiers and a father\u2019s assumption that he knows his own son . that may be part of why the grisly nature of mike\u2019s fate , and the possibility that some of his buddies were responsible for it , disturbs him so much . something , he suspects , has gone terribly wrong with the institutions and the men he has always loved and trusted .\nin 1958 , screen gems used a slightly edited version of this short as the pilot film to help sell the stooge comedies into television syndication . many stations did not return the print ( which had a specially made title sequence ) and it remained in the rotation of shorts for many years . . . turning up on wtbs as late as 1984 .\nbird ultimately hopes the film will take audiences on a journey that keeps them constantly off guard , yet rooting for remy to achieve the seemingly impossible and save not only himself but his new friends at gusteau\u2019s restaurant . sums up bird : \u201cwhen you can get audiences to believe in something that might seem inherently unbelievable , that\u2019s the real magic of movies . \u201d\nfor this sensitive underlying plot , some television stations pulled the film from their rotation . listen for emmett lynn to mumble the word\nbastard\nuring the scene where the stooges trade their car to the farmer for his run - down farm . it ' s the last thing he says ( under his breath ) as he attempts to start the car .\nthe dining room at gusteau\u2019s was equally important to the film\u2019s whimsical look . it was inspired by an amalgam of several famous parisian restaurants , including guy savoy , taillevent , la tour d\u2019argent and le train bleu , the beloved belle epoque dining spot in the gare de lyon railway station , as renowned for its grand , eclectic d\u00e9cor as for its classical cuisine .\nwhen it came to finding the right music to fuel the manic action and subtle emotion of ratatouille , brad bird returned to the composer who had done such a bang - up job with \u201cthe incredibles\u201d : michael giacchino , who conjured up a brassy , jazzy , percussive score that is as fun , fast - paced and french - themed as the film itself .\na hilarious short and the dogs were delightful ! i always found it interesting that for all of the stooges ' roughhouse antics , no gags were ever written in about the dogs getting hurt . i wonder how we got from there to movies like\nthere ' s something about mary\nwhere a dog in a bodycast is the main attraction to the film ?\nthe collaborative spirit between brad bird and giacchino is part of what spurred the two on to define a fresh sound for the film . \u201cthese two guys are basically able to read each other\u2019s minds , \u201d observes producer brad lewis . \u201cbrad speaks in a visual language and michael speaks in a musical language , but somehow they find a way to intertwine them perfectly in the film . sometimes the music is subtle , sometimes it\u2019s very broad and comic and michael has this great way of creating the right mood to go along with each moment in the story . he can get really grand and emotional , he can get really small and light , and he can get a little bit goofy , all of which we needed in this movie . \u201d\nto his great credit , mr . haggis tries to coax an answer out of his story rather than imposing one on it from the start , as he did in \u201ccrash . \u201d that film , which owes its best - picture oscar to the dedication of its cast and the obviousness of its themes , turned racial intolerance into fodder for a self - righteous , schematic allegory .\nwith so many original characters and situations , ratatouille constantly inspired the filmmakers to push the technology to new limits . notes the film\u2019s supervising technical director michael fong : \u201cthere were so many technical challenges to tackle on this film , starting with lots and lots of furry characters , as well as very complex human characters , intense water scenes with rapids and the recreation of the beloved city of paris . along the way , we significantly changed the way we shaded models , the way we light the scenes and the way we do cloth . we took technology from our previous films and found ways to make it even better . and all of this contributes to a really different , original look that audiences will experience along with all the fun of the story of ratatouille . \u201d\nthe parents go out and leave jeanie to look after the baby , but she is irresponsible and it is up to tom and jerry to do the task themselves . the plot is typical and the babysitter is such a clich\u00e9d female character . the problem here is that the film is just not funny and it is never particularly exciting . we\u2019ve seen this before and nothing here is memorable .\nback home , the entire team got into the act with a series of cooking classes , in which computer artists more used to clicking and tapping instead learned to slice and dice like the pros \u2014 gaining essential insight into tiny but vital details about how chefs hold a knife , chop an onion , stir a soup and interact with others in a wildly busy kitchen . the cooking classes provided lots of creative fodder \u2013 and even had some interesting side effects . \u201cit kind of ruined me , \u201d laughs supervising animator mark walsh . \u201ci used to be a top ramen , tuna - outof - the - can man and suddenly i realized how much more fun it is to make something really good ! \u201d\nswanberg ' s opening scenes set the tone for this un - rom - com rom - com , using a handheld camera under harsh fluorescent lighting ; it ' s as if to doll it up , to shoot his actors in flattering light , would be disingenuous . while avoiding conventions , swanberg aims for familiarity : he knows that half the battle here is the audience recognising that they have been in a friendship that veered towards something else , enjoying its flirty nature and having fun ignoring it . that ' s drinking buddies ' charm , and it ' s this that will hit home more than anything else . plus the ad - lib approach from wilde and johnson works a treat .\n\u201cdrinking buddies\u201d is a movie of sublime paradox : a quartet of actors\u2014jake johnson , anna kendrick , ron livingston , and olivia wilde ( who co - executive - produced ) \u2014play characters living in very ordinary circumstances , and they improvise their dialogue within situations that developed spontaneously in the course of the shoot . yet swanberg\u2019s ideas\u2014and he has always been a director of ideas\u2014are so strong and clear that the actors realize them as if within the orienting pull of a magnetic field . i\u2019d argue that the only reason swanberg\u2019s earlier work hasn\u2019t been recognized for its abstraction is that the intimate scale of the performances focusses attention on their personal element , and this movie is even more abstract in its conception than his prior work .\nyet the technological achievements of the film are always in service to spinning an even more enveloping and laughter - filled tale that celebrates the challenges of being true to friends , family and the search to find real happiness in life . notes john lasseter : \u201cthese characters are so charming and so emotionally believable that the audience isn\u2019t likely to even realize they are seeing new technology . you\u2019re just too caught up in their story . \u201d\nnaturally , jessup started with an inspirational journey , along with director of photography / lighting sharon calahan , to france . \u201cwe were looking mainly at color , shapes and surfaces , \u201d jessup explains of their whirlwind trip . \u201cit really inspired us to use a very different kind of a palette than ever before . we realized that much of paris has this kind of classical , stone quality that is then filled in with little accents of color . we\u2019d see a woman walk by in a red coat and she would just sparkle against the gray background \u2013 and we wanted to get that in the film . that\u2019s why the palette is more muted than any other pixar film . it was a little scary , because usually animated films are so outrageously colorful we were using colors more as accents , but i think the restraint of color can also make it much more powerful . \u201d\nthat space becomes the scene of all kinds of comic mayhem when remy enters it , which also challenged the film\u2019s directors of photography . although remy loves to cook , a human kitchen is filled with dangers he has to avoid , from falling into pots to paddling through a sink filled with dishwater , which leads to much of the film\u2019s physical comedy . says robert anderson , director of photography / camera : \u201ca lot of times , the cameras are hustling just like the kitchen is hustling . in some scenes you\u2019ve got remy cooking in his own world and the camera will start out graceful and flowing with the music as he prepares this amazing meal . and then suddenly , remy will be discovered in the kitchen and now the camera\u2019s chasing after him , as people are throwing things at him and he\u2019s almost getting run over and thrown into an oven . the camera is always right there with him . \u201d\nthe process started in paris , where the filmmakers\u2019 \u201cresearch\u201d consisted of eating their way from one famous restaurant to the next , sampling the mouth - watering delights and peeking behind - the - scenes at the most creative kitchens in the world . \u201cthere was some concern that we might die of eating too much good food in too short a time , \u201d laughs bird . \u201cbut we really learned a lot that adds to the fun of the film . \u201d\nthe only clues he has are some jpegs his son e - mailed to him , the memory of a desperate late - night phone call from the war zone and some smeary , scrambled video recovered from mike\u2019s cellphone . these hectic , unfocused clips stand in jarring , pointed contrast to the neatly composed frames and carefully paced shots that make up most of mr . haggis\u2019s film , and they pose an agonizing challenge : how do you extract meaning from such chaos ?\nit ' s hard to believe that only their second columbia short is considered a classic today . but i guess that just goes to show how extraordinary the boys were . i like that larry also plays a significant role in this film , too . he ' s not the star of the short , but watching him run in fast motion looking for anything playing\npop goes the weasel\ncracks me up everytime .\ni lost my ba - lance !\ndisney\u2022pixar presents ratatouille , directed by brad bird , the film is produced by brad lewis and executive produced by john lasseter and andrew stanton . bringing to life a wide - ranging roster of memorable characters is a voice cast that includes popular stand - up comedian patton oswalt , golden globe\u00ae award - winner brian dennehy , emmy\u00ae award winner brad garrett , comic star and emmy\u00ae nominee janeane garofalo , academy award\u00ae nominee ian holm and the legendary 8 - time academy award\u00ae nominee peter o\u2019toole .\nfrom academy award\u00ae - winning director brad bird and the amazing storytellers at pixar animation studios comes ratatouille , the most original comedy of the summer about one of the most unlikely friendship\u2019s imaginable . the film\u2019s protagonist is a rat named remy who dares to dream the impossible dream of becoming a gourmet chef in a five - star french restaurant . together with a down - and - out garbage boy named linguini , the pair carves their own imaginative path to becoming the greatest chef in paris .\nalthough many of the film\u2019s locations are fanciful , jessup faithfully recreated several legendary landmarks , most notably the pont alexandre iii , the beautiful arched , lamp - lined bridge that spans the seine , where linguini and remy first form their reluctant partnership . \u201cthat\u2019s really a low point emotionally for linguini and remy so brad wanted it to play out against the dramatic scenery by the seine with the soaring notre dame cathedral in the background , \u201d explains jessup . \u201cwe tried to recreate it very authentically . \u201d\nan extraordinary current of pain runs through joe swanberg\u2019s new romantic comedy , \u201cdrinking buddies , \u201d a deep melancholy that turns out to be the driving force of the action , which is the sustenance of the life of a couple\u2014and the incommensurable gap between a member of a couple and a single person . there\u2019s a stern morality at work in the movie , which begins with the irrepressible flirtation of two seemingly kindred souls\u2014luke ( jake johnson ) , who runs a chicago craft brewery , and kate ( olivia wilde ) , the marketing director . they and their respective partners , jill ( anna kendrick ) , a schoolteacher , and chris ( ron livingston ) , a music producer , will soon learn that playtime is over , that couplehood is a vast but unstable edifice that can be shaken and even shattered\u2014or , for that matter , defended valiantly by a single action .\nyet , for waggoner who is as much an artist as a programmer , the real fun came in putting everything together into a dramatic big picture . \u201cthe primary challenge for me was really nailing the look , because brad likes things to appear both realistic and caricatured at the same time . so it was never just a case of scientifically studying the way different cloth moves and then entering in the numbers . instead , it was an overall subtle process of fitting every detail into the film\u2019s overall aesthetic , \u201d she says .\neventually , keller would also voice the role of a restaurant patron in the film , but first he served as a dynamic guide into the world of culinary adventure for lewis . \u201cbrad wanted to see what a real kitchen looks like and feels like , the energy , the dynamic , how people work together and move around the kitchen \u2013 \u201cthe dance\u201d as we call it in our restaurant\u201d explains keller . \u201cbrad and his team also took a lot of video at the french laundry so they could study it and turn reality into animation . \u201d\nso on the one hand , we have some of our talented in - house artists doing voices and on the other we have acting legends such as brian dennehy , ian holm and peter o\u2019toole \u2013 yet they each bring something really specific and special to their roles . we also were lucky to cast patton oswalt , janeane garofalo and brad garrett , who are all gifted stand - up comedians . i think they give the film a special comic edge . in every case , the voice performers provided the animators with a creative turbo charge . \u201d\nin weaving together the film\u2019s many styles and tones , giacchino made a musical separation between the human and rodent worlds . \u201cthere\u2019s certain instrumentation that i used a lot in the rat world , including a giant thumb piano that\u2019s layered into the orchestration , and a lot of pizzicato strings , \u201d he says . \u201cbrad really loved the sound of the pizzicato strings for the rats , but again , there was no hard and fast rule . what was right for one scene with the rats might not be right for the next , so it is always changing . \u201d\nbird was especially excited about injecting the film with wild twists and turns from nail - biting suspense to no - holds - barred comedy , from navigating the whitewater rapids of paris\u2019s famously intricate sewers to the high - pressure hustle of a restaurant serving dinner with a critic in the house . \u201cpart of the joy of ratatouille is simply that it is so unpredictable , \u201d bird notes . \u201cif we\u2019ve done our job right , when you think it\u2019s going left it goes right , and vice versa , hopefully all in a way that\u2019s not only humorous but from the heart . \u201d\nas for the theme that emerges between linguini and remy , giacchino says : \u201cthe buddy theme only really happens when they are working together . the prime example of it is when remy first learns how to control linguini \u2013 that\u2019s the embodiment of their theme . then , it progresses into a very big , kind of heroic action cue at the end of the film when all the rats band together and linguini\u2019s on his roller skates . it\u2019s almost like a british world war ii theme because their friendship has evolved to the point where they\u2019re going to get this done together . \u201d\nas in an episode of \u201claw & order , \u201d suspicion veers one way and then another as new information comes to light . was it drug dealers ? gang members ? soldiers from the young man\u2019s own squad ? was mike himself guilty of terrible things ? paul haggis , the writer and director , obeys the rules of the whodunit genre by providing answers to some of the basic , literal questions at the center of the film . and considered strictly as a crime drama , \u201cin the valley of elah\u201d is a bit pedestrian , with a few too many set pieces , extraneous subplots and predictable turns .\nbruce bennett appears as two different characters in the film . first as a truck driver at the beginning and later as the rock pile prison guard . during the rock pile scene , larry is placing rocks on curly ' s head and moe swings down a sledge - hammer to bust the rocks . at one point , as larry places a rock on curly ' s head , it appears that an ad - lib by curly (\nhey ! . . . that ' s a real one . . . i ' m no fool ! ! !\n) causes both moe and larry to break character and smile\ncopyright disclaimer : under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 , allowance is made for \u00abfair use\u00bb for purposes such as criticism , comment , news reporting , teaching , scholarship , and research . fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing . non -

looking cg animation because clothing , by nature , isn\u2019t static and the laws of physics \u2013 from gravity to friction \u2013 are subtly operating on it all the time . it was pixar that first opened up new possibilities for cloth with the life - like rumpled t - shirt in \u201cmonsters inc . \u201d and then made amazing breakthroughs with the array of credible , retro - futuristic clothing styles presented in \u201cthe incredibles . \u201d\nproducer brad lewis believes that brad bird was the perfect man to take on this mission of pushing the boundaries of animated comedy in the name of innovative storytelling \u2013 in part because of his remy - like refusal to believe anything is impossible . \u201cbrad bird is as intense and passionate as remy is in the film , \u201d lewis muses . \u201ci\u2019ve never seen someone so locked into what\u2019s going to make a story work creatively and emotionally . he\u2019s got these skills of perception where he always hones right in on what\u2019s going to make things a little more natural , or a little more funny or a little more true . and he\u2019s a genius with physical comedy . \u201d\nwarch worked throughout the film to assure the kind of authenticity that even the snobbiest gourmand would appreciate . this was especially true in gusteau\u2019s kitchen . \u201cthe idea was always to create something that was stylized and fun but also true to a real french kitchen , \u201d he says . \u201cwe needed to have the right french copper pots , the right french knives , the correct sense of the workflow with the chefs always in perpetual motion \u2013 right down to the way the food is plated with the different types of sauces and the architectural presentation . we wanted anybody who has been behind the scenes of a great kitchen to say \u2018wow , they really got it\u2019 ! \u201d\nthe enchantment of ratatouille begins with the charm of the characters , developed by bird and jan pinkava , who first invented the film\u2019s premise , and whose characters join the pixar pantheon with real and relatable inner lives . at the center of the tale\u2019s emotional appeal are remy\u2019s many different relationships \u2013 including those with the affectionate but flummoxed father who doesn\u2019t understand the road he has chosen ; with the ghost of the legendary french chef he has idolized all his life , despite their different species ; and especially with linguini , with whom he forms an unusual symbiotic friendship based at first on their mutual desperation but which turns into something truly life - altering for both of them .\nthe new scenes actually have production values , so some of the time is taken up with reused footage . while that would normally knock any film down a couple notches , some of this short ' s dialogue has become part of the american lexicon with\nwe all put the yeast in !\nand\ngoiter !\nsurviving to this day . the goiter bit was used before but this is the one everyone remembers . the over - yeasted beer was done by keaton in the silent days but this is the one everyone remembers . and the bucket of sand is my favorite vernon dent scene ever . only the stooges could take a\nnothing\nshort and make it seem worthwhile .\nin some of the film\u2019s most uproarious scenes , linguini lets remy literally control his own attempts at cooking . explains bird : \u201clinguini is somebody who doesn\u2019t like to attract attention and thanks to remy he gets a huge amount of it . he\u2019s a great example of someone who thinks they aren\u2019t anything special , but when the going gets tough , they find it within themselves to be amazing and do the right thing . \u201d character supervisor brian green admits he had another contemporary movie character in the back of his mind when it came to linguini \u2013 \u201ci thought of him a little bit like napoleon dynamite ; he\u2019s appealing , he\u2019s funny and somehow you can\u2019t help but root for him , \u201d he says .\nwatching their new pets lead their daily lives also gave green and his team plenty of fun ideas and opened up new areas of exploration . \u201cone of the things that became very important to the film is that we began to realize how squishy rats are . a rat can do all kind of amazing things with its body \u2013 they go through tiny holes you would think impossible or shrink into a little tiny ball because their rib cages are so small and flexible \u2013 and that was something that we knew would be a lot of fun inside the story . but first , we had to create special technology to simulate that and try to capture it in a way that was realistic , \u201d green explains ."]}

class academic resource . given the highly fragile state of the original documents , access requires digitization , so we would not propose eliminating that component . regarding approaches to analysis and digitization : we benefit from new tools and lessons learned from the previous phases of the nuremberg trials to achieve greater efficiencies in each subsequent stage .\nthe law library will contribute staff time , technical infrastructure , and full costs of outsourced digitization , including : paul deschner ( web developer and implementer of the nuremberg website and backend processes ) , steve chapman ( manager , digital strategy for collections ) , and ed moloy ( curator of manuscripts ) will manage the technical and workflow sides of the project and digitization logistics , as well as supervise project staff . the law library will fund 100 % of the outsourced costs to digitize all of trial 3 ( evidentiary materials and trial transcript ) . harvard\u2019s imaging services estimate for this collection amounts to $ 49 , 350 .\nwhile the story ' s resolution involves how the plot literally ends , it also focuses on how the characters respond to its overall events . twentieth century novelist james joyce believed that the short story should end with an epiphany , a new level of insight the character gains from the action . sometimes the story ' s resolution is explicitly clear , while other times , as in the end of\na good man is hard to find ,\nit isn ' t . some readers believe the grandmother ' s dying words genuinely change the misfit , while others believe they have only a temporary effect on him . as you analyze the ending , consider what epiphany the main character reaches and how it relates to his final actions in the story .\nin plot structure , exposition is the initial situation of the characters when the story begins . short stories often begin in medias res , a latin phrase meaning\nin the middle of things ,\nintroducing the main conflict immediately without much backstory . for example , the exposition in flannery o ' connor ' s\na good man is hard to find\nreveals that the family in the story is going on a trip to georgia and that the grandmother opposes the decision to go because a serial killer , the misfit , is on the loose where they ' ll be traveling , forming the core of the story ' s conflict . as you analyze the plot , look closely at the beginning and determine what events and potential difficulties the characters are facing as the story opens .\nyou ' re good .

! !\nhis shishya sri vijaydasaru ( brighu muni avataara ) started the dasa parmapare ( giving ankitas ) .\ni just remembered some things i was taught about this song . please accept my humble contribuitions .\nsimple songs like this have been filled with tremendous shastra and meanings by the dasaru\u2019s . any mistakes are solely mine !\nhejjaya mele hhejjeyanikkuta \u2013 there is a lot of shastra in this : the literal translation is \u201ckeeping one foot on another come forward\u201d or a more sane translation would appear to be \u201ccome to me putting steps\u201d but why has dasa sreshsta purandara dasaru chosen this style of expression ; no word of his is futile . to understand this , we need to understand the circumstance of composing the song . since purandara dasaru is an aproksha gynani , the lord showed him visions of his leelas from time to time . sri purandara dasaru would immidiately burst out with devotion and compose a song . the vision for this song is , puttu sri krishna or a child sri krishna is running around the house . her mother yashoda is chasing him around . yashoda has a special amsha of mahalaxmi else no one can touch sri krishna . dasaru sees this vision and he notices one thing .\nyashoda places her feet or hejje ( footstep ) only where sri krishna\u2019s hejje ( footprint ) is present . dasaru immediately connects it with shastra that sri hari and sri mahalaxmi are nitya aviyogi , they don\u2019t have even a moment of separation . sri mahalaxmi will come only where her husband sri hari is honoured and respected . sri mahalaxmi is the ultimate wife . she blesses and bestows grace to people only when they worship / respect her husband sri krishna .\nto view this in another angle ; sri mahalaxmi is the abhimani devata for all the shastras , vedas , puranas , itihasa etc . ( vidya laxmi ) . the entire shastras follow the footsteps of sri krishna .\ndasaru sees sri krishna running towards him and sees sri mahalaxmi in yashoda running towards him and composes this song .\nmajjigeyolagina benneyante \u2013 like butter appearing from buttermilk * buttermilk or yogurt drink , is churned with a churning rod repeatedly to form butter . # 1 ) this reference is to the

enamoured of its characters , scarfies treats its posse of amateur criminals with both celebration and cynicism . it evokes the feeling of that time in life when everything is new , a decaying flat is an adventure to be embraced , and decisions sometimes get made before being thought through .\nin scarfies , five dunedin students find themselves in a free squat , and a dark place , after taking a criminal captive in their basement . the debut feature from robert sarkies starts as a comic tribute to otago student days , then turns into a psychological thriller . outside of the two warriors movies , scarfies was the most successful kiwi release of the 90s on home turf . it went on to scoop best film , director and screenplay awards at the 2000 nz film and tv awards . this excerpt sees the scarfies torn between dealing with the crim and a footy match at carisbrook .\ninternationally the reception was more mixed . scarfies screened in the world cinema section at sundance and american industry magazine variety praised the tight brothers sarkies ' script and the movie ' s\nenergy , humour and sustained tension\n.\nthanks partly to a clever marketing campaign making effective use of an old holden , and the otago rugby team ' s blue and gold colours , scarfies ran for six months in local cinemas , becoming a big hit on its home turf . scarfies ranks behind the twin behemoths of once were warriors and its sequel , what becomes of the broken hearted , as the third most successful kiwi film made in the 90s . at the nz film and tv awards in 2000 , it won most of the major awards , including best film , director , screenplay , and supporting actor ( willa o ' neill ) . the dominion called scarfies\na bona fide kiwi classic\n, while herald writer russell baillie found it \u2018the most outlandishly entertaining new zealand film in years\n.\nscarfies centred around the lives of a group of dunedin students living in the then - grotty building through a cold winter . they move into the seemingly abandoned house with free electricity at the beginning of the academic year , but soon discover a gigantic marijuana plantation in the basement .\nfive otago university students ( ' scarfies ' ) decide to squat in an empty house . they discover a locked room that holds a hidden treasure - a large quantity of marijuana . what happens when the cash - strapped students decide to become amateur druglords for the week ? and what exactly should they do about the owner of the crop ?\nits shift from opening fizziness to black comedy exuding menace , paranoia and contemplations of murder makes scarfies quite a ride - though its occasional detour into slapstick does loosen the tightly wound tension , and makes for a couple of flat patches later in the piece . but that may be also due to so much of the action being necessarily house bound .\nscarfies is a typical new zealand comedy , filled with bad acting , sex , weed and swearing . i don ' t even know who thought it was a good idea to ruin the reputation of new zealand with this film , the plot is ridiculously stupid and antisocial . the only redemption of the film is the nice filming and editing techniques .\nscarfies evokes kiwi student days , aided by pitch - perfect use of a classic soundtrack from record label flying nun ( including the clean - who make a brief live appearance - the chills , straitjacket fits , and headless chickens ) . at the same time the realism of the details - the cold , grotty flat , the documentary - like shots of orientation shenanigans , a cast dressed in handknitted jumpers instead of designer labels - all help ground us in the story , as things begin to spin out of control . the small tally of kiwi films that have been aimed at young people includes a number that were weakened by uneven acting ; but the largely youthful cast of scarfies do fine work .\nsome films defy categorisation , and refuse to sit snuggly in their box . sometimes the combination of too many flavours spoils the meal , and you end up with an unconvincing , inedible gloop . but in the right hands , the result can be something gloriously original and right : a sweetie , a little miss sunshine , a braindead . . . or a scarfies .\nthe film also offers us a warning of how in stressful times , morality can start to slide according to the dictates of the group . scarfies is a journey into darkness where most of the perpetrators aren ' t monsters or fantasy heroes , but the people living in the next door flat . and you know what ' s most worrying : most of them seem perfectly nice .\nscarfies is a great many things - sometimes funny , sometimes joyful and nostalgic , more often dark and unpredictable . ultimately , despite the crowd - pleasing sitcom surfaces , what you have here is a psychological drama , lightened with some comedy and romance . it ' s a film whose dramatic centre is one house , in the centre of which a man is tied to a chair . the man is clearly dodgy . but does that justify having his lips glued together ?\nscarfies began from a desire by dunedin - raised robert sarkies to make a film that captured the essence of being a student in dunedin - including the city ' s music and love of rugby - and combine it with a comic thriller . it was also a chance for a team of enthusiastic dunedin filmmakers to prove that they could pull off their first feature . that the first movie shot entirely in the city so energetically manages to tick all these boxes , without collapsing under the strain , is a miracle in itself .\nsome international reviewers remarked on its resemblance to a certain danny boyle thriller set in an edinburgh flat ( shallow grave , a breakout hit about three middle class flatmates dealing with a dead body , released in 1995 ) . but most noted its verve , and scarfies sold well overseas . hopes of mainstream box office success appear to have been curtailed by lack of familiarity with the film ' s dunedin context , and a title that outside of new zealand - as sarkies put it -\nno - one can understand\n. indeed in the us it was retitled crime 101 .\nin scarfies , a group of college students think they ' ve stumbled into some fast money only to discover there are some dangerous strings attached . reliable scott ( neill rea ) , practical emma ( willa o ' neill ) , naive graham ( charlie bleakley ) , charming but sneaky alex ( taika cohen ) and alex ' s embittered ex - girlfriend nicole ( ashleigh seagar ) are all students at new zealand ' s otago university ; otago students are nicknamed\nscarfies\nfor the scarves that were once part of the student uniform . the five are looking for a cheap place to live and seem to have found one when they discover a large , abandoned house suitable for squatting , complete with electricity . but the real bounty is in the basement , which is hiding a large , lush garden of marijuana . the five quickly harvest the herb and sell it for a quick $ 50 , 000 ( far less than it was actually worth ) , but they ' ve soon managed to spend their new found wealth just in time for the man who planted the pot to arrive , ready to kill whoever made off with his cash crop . the five trap the intruder in the basement , but when it becomes obvious they need to formulate a long term solution , the tensions start to get the better of them . ~ mark deming , rovi\nscarfies is a good movie , with intense situations and even well thought out responses by the characters to said intense situations . unfortunately the whole thing collapses with a 10 - minute farcical ending that begs to be redone . also , i ' ve read people comment that the kids were complex . wow . did we see the same movie ? let ' s see : the a $ $ hole guy / bad boy ; the rich girl who falls for the bad boy ; the sensitive guy ; the weirdo kid who wants to get in the rich girl ' s pants ; and the sensitive girl . gee , how complex . nothing too great . good , decent movie , but a really , really stupid ending that cheats . a better ending would have offered us something dark , something bloody . instead we get an ending that\nmakes everything all right\n. i thought only hollywood did crap like this . apparently not .\non the go and no time to finish that story right now ? your news is the place for you to save content to read later from any device . register with us and content you save will appear here so you can access them to read later .\nwhether you\u2019re looking to buy or rent , urltoken has everything you need to find your dream home .\nmine ' s graham from gore . so innocent , so naive , so thwarted in his crush on his flatmate nicole . so handy with electrical bits and pieces .\nit ' s a skill which comes in handy when he and his dunedin household , all newly arrived at otago uni , find the previous tenant of their mansion squat has left something of value behind in the basement . actually it ' s something of\nstreet value\nand enough of it to make quite a dent in their collective student loans if they flog it off .\nthat ' s until one day , just as they ' re heading off to carisbrook for the big game , the previous occupant returns to find his crop already harvested and gone to market -

o - rama have voted to sell the property to altoona - based bt management llc , which plans to lease the property to sheetz inc . to build a convenience store on the nearly 4 - acre property .\nrama has co - authored 4 book chapters , and over 40 technical papers and has over a dozen issued patents ( with 20 + patents still pending ) . she is the recipient of 3 best paper awards in the areas of ai and operations .\ndefinitely longer than the first book ,\nrama ii\nis also much more character - centric and person driven than the first one . this installment is all about reminiscing over some lost childhood or getting entangled in relationships with unlikely people , in highly unlikely places . i still love the idea of a ship that resembles\nrama\n, an enclosed ecosystem so very different but so alike to our own earth , where stages of evolutionary development are burned over the course of hours , instead of millions\nthe only failure mode that rama enters automatically is when the wireless control signal from the ground is lost . naturally , in this case , the vehicle is not under a human pilot\u2019s control anymore , and the control system must act on its own .\nthe bowl - a - rama was a local hang - out for the students of rydell , and the most - frequented hang - out for t - birds and pink ladies . it was the setting of score tonight and who ' s that guy ? .\nwhat a pile of crap ! gentry lee took over what was an amazing hardcore science fiction novel in rama and turned it into some crappy drama , with novice style intrigue , a bunch of ridiculous characters that having you going from indifferent to totally hating them . this is a afternoon soap opera with the background of space . i loved rama , i loved the ideas brought up by arthur clarke , and i was so excited to learn more about the ramans and their ship that the second encounter should have brought , i\nthe first book in the series , rendezvous with rama , was a good read and i was excited about this sequel . no no no . the first was focused on exploration and discovery and the characters were imperfect but hard - working , decent people . rama ii is poorly written , bogged down by inane machinations by cliched and unlikeable characters , and worst of all , reduces the fascinating mysteries of the first book to an increasingly ridiculous premise . like with the three new star wars movies , i wish i could cl\nlast week , attorneys for brothers john and mark gehris , who are among the minority owners in bowl - o - rama , filed a motion requesting a preliminary injunction on the sale and for the business to be placed in receivership while an appeal is decided .\nah , now i remember this book . contrary to what i said in my review of rendezvous with rama i now recall that four years ago i actually read the first three books in this quadrilogy , not just the first two . this book is frightfully dull but not quite bad enough to warrant quitting the series . one of the good things about this book ' s predecessor is how quickly it gets into the action . the cosmonauts are inside rama within about ten pages . here we get a hundred pages of inept character development b\nin case of a data communication loss ( detected by the tcp / ip protocol via the loss of acknowledges ) , the telemetry datapackets are stored in a buffer and sent off - line as soon as the data link is re - established . moreover , each datapacket is assigned a unique number and a time stamp , to allow one to check the received data consistency . telemetry is not critical and can be also downloaded off - line , after landing .\na mysterious giant cylinder is found in space , falling inwards on a trajectory which will take it through the solar system . it is dubbed \u201crama\u201d . an expedition is sent to probe it\u2019s contents . along with 2001 , rendezvous with rama is the defining work of arthur c . clarke . the book is full of his trademark sense of wonder , and clarke manages to convey awe at alien things like few others can . the first book is a solo effort . clarke then teamed up with gentry lee to write a sequel trilogy . the whole s\nduring the 1980s , carol rama returned to figurative modes of working \u0096 perhaps inspired by a sudden recognition of her early work by the curator lea vergine in 1980 . she also began to identify with the figure of the \u0091mad cow\u0092 \u0096 referencing the mad cow epidemic that was sweeping across europe at that time - and developed an animalist ethic : a kind of expanded feminism that looked beyond the centrality of humans . in doing so , rama\u0092s work can be seen to transcend species , gender and sexuality , and affirm a community of all living things .\nmy working theory is that by 1989 , when rama ii was published , anything with arthur c . clarke ' s name on it was considered above editing . though clarke , being creator of the series and the more prominent name , gets top billing , lee is said to be the main perpetrator of this work , a follow - up to clarke ' s award - winning 1972 rendezvous with rama . both novels deal with expeditions to mysterious alien spacecraft , fifty - kilometer - long spinning cylinders containing an entire world with plains , a sea , ci\n{\nsource\n: 3 ,\nsource _ id\n:\n8653428\n,\nobject _ type\n:\nplaylist\n,\nchanneltype\n:\nplaylist\n,\nid\n:\n8653428\n,\nstatus\n:\n0\n,\ntitle\n:\nrama rama re\n,\ntrackcount\n: 6 ,\ntrack _ ids\n:\n20629339 , 20629311 , 20629336 , 20629355 , 20629309 , 20629348\n,\nobjtype\n: 3 ,\nshare _ url\n:\n\\ / playlist \\ / bharadwajmr -

safe ability and early warnings issued by the control system via the on - line telemetry were invaluable during flight tests , and prevented potential vehicle loss many times . once , a failing actuator battery almost led to a crash , had it not been for the early warning issued by the control system . rama discovered an unusually high voltage drop on the actuator battery ( acb ) , which did not show up on earth , because the actuators were not subjected to the load , induced by the aerodynamic forces . this triggered a warning , issued to the human pilot . the vehicle was immediately landed and the suspected battery actually failed only two minutes after . this case led to the decision to re -

jokes throughout the film . however , did you notice this particular star wars reference ? the supporting character of doctor nefario , voiced by russell brand , has appeared in all of the despicable me films , but while the character had a significant part in the fist two installments , his appearance here is fairly quiet . sometime since the last movie nefario has apparently frozen himself in carbonite , in a similar position to han solo at the end of star wars : the empire strikes back . check him out in the upper left corner of the image below .\nhalf the fun of disney\u2019s zootopia \u2014 the animation studio\u2019s record -

con who is trying to make a clean break & avoid going to jail for life if he gets another strike , i . e . 3 strikes . he doesn ' t try too hard to stay out of trouble as it seems to find him at every turn & with the so - called friends he has , they will surely help him back to jail quickly . a few cameo appearances by famous actors such as monique , hilarious as usual , george wallace & antonio fargas . overall the movie is a riot & the out -

man : homecoming set for release . the next chapter in the marvel cinematic universe is almost guaranteed to put up huge numbers , however , it ' s the international box office that has made the despicable me franchise what it is , so expect those numbers to keep climbing .\n. year - to - date is a little less useful , as 2016 is only 3 days old , but it is 27 % higher than 2015 was after the first weekend . this is even more impressive , as 2015 had an extra day before the weekend .\nyeah , universal has despicable me 3 in two weeks , but pixar / disney and illumination have always done well side - by - side . again , the movie will sell loads of merchandise . more valuable for the franchise , and for pixar itself , is the swell of initially relatively positive reviews . much of the consternation over the deluge of pixar sequels , both recent past and near future , is the fear that they will be closer in quality to cars 2 than toy story 3 . while no one is arguing that cars 3 reaches all - time classic levels , its high quality offers hope for the likes of the incredibles 2 and toy story 4 as well as hope that the company that redefined top - tier animated entertainment in a computer - animated age still has the potential to surprise .\nthat may not be accurate or fair , but what this means is that i would argue that positive reviews are more valuable for cars 3 than big box office . truth be told , cars 3 is probably going to do well here and abroad . the prior two films were popular with kids and frankly , they play fine for those wanting a kid - friendly babysitter or for those who don ' t demand that every pixar film be a scorching dark knight of the every - dying soul - type experience . captain underpants didn ' t really perform to regular dreamworks animation standards , so there is a lull in the animation marketplace since the boss baby ( also dwa ) was 2 . 5 months ago .\n\u2019s opening friday . the studio expects the film to earn in the mid - to high - $ 90 million range , which puts it on pace for approximately $ 200 million . if the film doesn\u2019t get to $ 200 million over the weekend , then it will be more front - loaded than we anticipated and more front - loaded than the\nfranchise . however , they reportedly had to reshoot 70 % of the movie , which lifted the price to $ 250 million . the box office needed to break even during the film\u2019s initial push into the home market rose from about $ 500 million to $ 650 million . and with an initial international debut of $ 65 . 0 million in 54 markets , this film is just not going to get there . the unending talk of behind - the - scenes trouble seems to have hurt the film\u2019s box office chances and even its\n\u2019s $ 132 million debut . in spite of these awesome stats , there\u2019s about as much negative press for the film as positive , and some of it not entirely fair .\nthe record for biggest international opening weekend . the film added $ 56 . 8 million on friday , which is an amazing number , but it is behind the $ 60 million\na young african -

be risks like ratatouille , inside out and up to be less risky . but beyond metaphor and parable , it is a mostly solid character drama , one that lays off the car puns , pop - culture references and frantic action that marred ( in varying degrees ) the first two films .\ncould help it break records over the weekend . it has already broken some box office records , becoming the first film to reach $ 100 million in advance ticket sales . the other wide releases are\nkanchana 2 is the third film in the horror -

be gatekeepers don\u2019t offer opportunities to those disenfranchised demographics . even if the film\u2019s finale tries to have its cake and eat it too , it works as a rebuttal to the standard underdog sports story , just as the end of monsters university worked as a rebuttal to the whole \u201cif you want something badly enough , you can succeed beyond your wildest dreams\u201d tropes so prevalent in kids flicks .\none of the earliest elements of the original script for the empire strikes back was an appearance of darth vader\u2019s lair , known as bast castle . concept artist ralph mcquarrie had illustrated the structure , which was later incorporated into other stories in rebels . a more imposing version of the castle is a minor location in rogue one . director krennic stops by to brag about his work on the death star to vader .\nthink back to attack of clones where obi wan and anakin chase padme ' s would be assassin to the bar . after obi wan strikes with his light saber a white haired man is shown . this is none other than anthony daniels , that actor who plays c3po . oh my ! ahmed best is in the scene too but best not to mention that too loudly in case the jar jar haters are listening\nin the french dub , misty ' s staryu makes no sound when it is released from its pok\u00e9 ball . in all other versions of the film , staryu ' s voice can be heard twice .\nfor the lowly protagonist , david mann , spielberg hand -

\u201d he questions laughingly . \u201cdo these look old to you ? \u201d he refers to his muscles which he clearly enjoys flexing . it\u2019s part of the game which stallone loves to play . whether he is promoting a film about which he is passionate or one that he admits isn\u2019t\u2019 perfect , stallone knows how to play the room . he does so with a charming perfection .\ndifferent perhaps the mentality that kept stallone at the top of his game for two decades , through the successes of both the rocky and rambo franchises , and the failures of the likes of rhinestone , stop , or my mom will shoot , and even last year\u2019s multi - million dollar fiasco , driven . yet somehow stallone manages to rise through it all and his next film could be another cop land . but on d - tox , stallone knew what he was getting into and was eager to embrace a fresh genre . yet the actor defends the film\u2019s international release , arguing that \u201camericans have a different perception of films , as opposed to europeans and australians , who are a little bit broader based in their tastes . \u201d\nthe internet user acknowledges the characteristics and limitations of the internet . urltoken has no control over on the nature and characteristics of any data transferred via its server center . the internet user acknowledges that the data circulating on the internet is not protected especially against possible diversions . the presence of the herbal d - tox logo does not necessarily guarantee validity . the communication of any information considered sensitive or confidential by the user is done at own risk . the user acknowledges that the data circulating on the internet can be regulated in terms of use or be protected by a property right . the internet user is solely responsible for the use of data , questions and transfers on internet . the internet user acknowledges that urltoken has no control over the content accessible on the internet .\nto understand how ana - d - tox works , you have to first understand how exactly colouring products damage your hair . similar to a tree that has a bark as an outer covering , the cuticle is the outer covering for our hair shaft . in order for colour to penetrate through the cuticle , it has to be lifted up . all hair colouring products include some chemical or the other that lift up the cuticle to deposit colour into the cortex ( inner layer of a strand of hair ) . but the problem here , is that is once you\u2019ve disturbed the cuticle , the damage has already begun , because the cuticle is not meant to be lifted up . and the longer the colour is penetrating into your open cuticle and hair shaft , the longer the chemical has to attack and wreak havoc on your open cuticle and hair shaft by weakening and damaging them .\nyet even using that argument , a stallone film that takes some 2 years to hit cinemas , is a rarity , and the actor has no real answer . \u201ci think they were just taken aback and didn\u2019t quite know how to perceive it and i think it was done they were just extremely nervous about the whole thing . \u201d stallone\u2019s jack molloy in d - tox is an fbi agent with a drinking problem , that ensued following the brutal murder of his fianc\u00e9 at the hands of a deranged serial killer who targets cops , and molloy in particular . now a drunk , he joins nine other troubled law enforcement officers at an isolated detox clinic in the wilds of wyoming . but the therapeutic sanctuary becomes a nightmarish hellhole when a major snowstorm cuts off the clinic from the outside world and enables a killer on the inside to get busy . he may be molloy\u2019s initial nemesis .\nput sylvester stallone in a bad friday the 13th rip - off and the result is d - tox , another cynically exploitative return to the well of stalk - and - slash clich\u00e9s that director jim gillespie previously trawled dry in i know what you did last summer . after failing to catch the vicious serial killer responsible for the death of his girlfriend , homicide detective jake malloy ( stallone ) goes on an alcoholic bender and ends up in a detox programme for cops at a remote , snowbound facility in wyoming . and , surprise , surprise , that ' s where the sadistic assassin is masquerading as one of the betty ford - style boozehounds . derivative , nasty and just plain stupid ( for starters , no one in their right mind would ever agree to be incarcerated in this mini - alcatraz ) , this incompetent and obnoxious dud doesn ' t even have unintentional laughs to keep boredom at bay .\n7 . koppaka , v . , thompson , d . c . , chen , y . , ellermann , m . , nicolaou , k . c . , juvonen , r . o . , . . . & vasiliou , v .

it has no security whatsoever ( what if an officer snapped ? ) , it\u2019s in the middle of nowhere , it ' s run by kris kristofferson ( you\u2019re asking for trouble there ! ) and it looks like a depressive left over set from\nalien 3\n. is this the kind of environment that will help cheer up suicidal , alcoholic , violent cops ?

' and yeah ive read sharon stone is a massive bitch . who th fuck does she ethink she is . she only got famous for the beaver shot any way ! !\nin rockys ii , iii , and iv , there ' s no defense . also , every punch is a haymaker . the hagler / hearns fight was like that , ' cept it only lasted two rounds . that ' s one of the reasons the sequels never approached your oscar winning ' 76 film . apollo / rocky i was a somewhat plausible , slightly exaggerated fight . also , how do you compare the original rocky to scorsese ' s raging bull ? i think the latter movie is a masterpiece .\nthis is a select group of assholes he is convincing to go to his movie . i guess as fan pr or something it is worth the investment and god bless him , i am enjoying it . i hope rocky balboa is a big fucking hit because i really really want to see rambo iv .\nit is solid gold when we get the true and juicy stories , unexpurgated . more more more !\nmakes the action slow and not rocky - esque enough . a rocky game should play more like mike tyson ' s punch out ! ! series . in fact , a crossover nintendo punch - out ! ! game featuring rocky against all his opponents would be cool .\n' cause it ' s giving me nose bleeds . the images he conjures up is simply priceless . ranking paulie ahead of apollo ,\ncan you get sick of it on someone else ' s film ?\nif it gets on my pants you ' re gonna know about it\n. . . that ' s just too f ' ing awesome .\nthe fox nfl pregame show was all over rocky today . they opened with scenes mixed with football , it was all good . i really am looking forward to the movie and hope it does well . i mean damn , mel punked this weekend , when the chips were down . this q / a is awesome and props to harry and sly . . . . . thanks !\nand this is the most enjoyable thing you guys have ever done . mr stallone , you ' ve performed a miracle , i ' ve never seen such universal praise from talkbackers before . true class mate , keep em coming .\nthis just keeps getting better and better - - i ' m actually sad that we ' re over half way through . sly , i have a question for you : is there a reason for working with so many young directors ? did the material ' s worth outweigh reservations about the lack of experience for the director , or were you more interested in stretching yourself out to work with up and coming talent ? and i have to say thanks : tango and cash was the first 15 rated film my dad and i ever went to in a theater , cobra was the first 18 rated home movie i ever saw ( on betamax , no less ) and demolition man was a great experience to go and see with all my friends my first year in college . thanks for many years of fun times and great memories .\nand if he does he shouldn ' t avenge the black one because it ' ll turn out that it was all a set up , you see . he and girl cricket and the frog just want rambo cricket to lead them to the money .\ni soon lost all hope for future filmmaking with the onset of the 2000s yet the second half of this decade is making me have faith again , making me believe . . . i wonder if this can compare with the untouchable first - half 80s for blockbuster film ?\nhe was a pit - fighter who surived them all and eventually his owner knew he couldn ' t keep this warrior any more so he set him free . . . man that scene really made me feel heartfelt . do it for rambo circket the barbarian\ni meant ' rambo ' not rocky . also throw the demolition man in there as well .\nstallone : father of wwe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\nhogan in rocky iii . few months later , saavy vince mcmahon makes him wwf champion . gone were the bland days of bob backlund . wrestling became a big ticket item . it needed one more thing , however . - - wrestlemania ! hogan , mr . t , jimmy snuka v . s . whoever in the main event . boxing was no longer pay - per - view king . pro wrasslin ' as we now know it , is a side - effect of the second rocky sequel . after rocky , you campaigned for the lead in superman : the movie . did richard donner talk to you about the role ? during assassins , was there any reminiscing about that time ?\nthe brutal honesty is terrific . you might say he ' s not pulling any punches . ha ! oh jeez .\npersonally , i think this is alittle demeaning for him . the brutal honesty is not refreshing . it ' s inappropriate , especially coming from someone of his stature . it sounds petty , and unneccessary . tarnishes him somewhat in my eyes . i ' ll always love rocky , though .\nmost sub films or films like that are all about miscomunication with a sub or an over the top captian with an ichy trigger finger and how the navy or whoever goes about to stop it with the hero saving the day at the last minute . not what actualy happens when a sub lets it ' s nuke fly and how they deal with the aftermath . i would deffintly see it . although this seems like a wierd place to put what you said and i read with an uncertain feeling that your in a dream world . but how can i know\ndon ' t read it then . most of us here , even non sly fans are enjoying this and can ' t wait for the next one . god i wish we could edit these things . i always notice my horrible spelling and grammer after i post . you would think 4 years of college and a year of grad school would fix that problem . but noooooo . . . . i just got dumber .\ndid no one else catch that ? i ' m sure he meant\nlife long fan\nand language barriers facilitated the error , but still . that ' s a hilarious typo / freudian slip .\nhow can you love rocky and think that talking to fans is beneath stallone . you must be some kind of shallow dick ? ! but that wasn ' t an insult to stallone , that was an insult to all of us . not that it matters , cause you gotta be one immature person . why would you even say something like that ? what was the purpose ? to just be an asshole ?\nlol professionalism and good ' ol common sense in the entertainment industry ? hehe . good one yack .\nmoto , screw the naysayers and do whatever it takes . yeah the industry is rife with assholes but on occasion opportunity does present itself . solicit away , my friend . best of luck .\njesus , don ' t leave us in the dark . keep us updated about rambo cricket ! !\nnot the worst idea i ' ve ever seen - - didn ' t van damme pretend to kick an exec in the throat during a lunch to get a break ? hell , if you managed to get anyone ' s interest , well done .\nwill we ever see the uncut version of the film ? the fight between snipes and sly at the end is cut to shreds , as phoenix evidently gets electrocuted at some point and there are a bunch of bad edits . did the budget run dry at the end of the film , because the explosion at the cryoprison is bad sfx . nigel hawthorne made it clear before he died that he took the role because he wanted to prove he could act in front of a camera - - his comments made it sound like he felt he was slumming , did you get that impression during shooting ? and , in a q & a with kevin smith moment , how the hell did you get a young sandra bullock in the movie and not get her to really flash her boobs ? ! ? : - )\ngood luck moto . p . s . since when has aicn been a cauldron of negativity for the film industry ? that line really made me laugh . . .\nthere ' s not much to update on rambo cricket . i already gave up on him lol . i ' ve tried to hit him like a golf ball with a straw to the frog . one of the last times i tried to get him eaten i actually hit him right in front of the frog ' s face . his front legs were actually on the frog . see , the thing with pacman frogs is that a lot of their senses seem based on movement . like , they will wait for the bug to start walking right before eating them . so the second rambo frog moved , he was lunch . . . but he didn ' t move ! ! he just posed there leaning on the frog , motionless . i left and came back , and they were still at that standoff . so i went to bed , and in the morning the frog was in a different spot , so i figured it was over finally . the day after that i came back with a new batch of crickets , look into the tank , and there ' s rambo cricket running into cover ! wtf ? ? i give up . he is too strong . he cannot be defeated ."]}

the likeness is unmistakable , yet difficult to define . in the broadest of generalizations , it might be this : if the american film is strongest in action , and if the european is strongest in character , then the japanese film is richest in mood or atmosphere , in presenting characters in their own surroundings . the relationship between man and his surroundings is the continual theme of the japanese film , one which quite accurately reflects the oneness with nature that is both the triumph and the escape of the japanese people .\nxxi is seen in many of the themes of the japanese film , but of its technique there are few traces ; in fact , overcoming the influence of the shimpa was one of the japanese film ' s earliest triumphs . even shingeki , the modern theater ( one quite analogous to that of america or europe ) , has offered almost nothing to the japanese film style . in the same way , television - a medium which has had an enormous and not always beneficial influence on the american film - has contributed as yet little to japanese cinematic form . at most one might say ( and it is , admittedly , saying much ) that the influence of japanese drama on japanese film is interior . that is , the kind of mind which created the noh and the kabuki remains the mind which creates the japanese film . one might then think that the films of other countries have been a decisive influence , a common enough occurrence in france or america , countries which have eclectic cinematic traditions . and on one level there is some foreign influence . the japanese\naction\npicture , particularly the gangster film , is much influenced by the american , as indeed are all the world ' s gang films . yet on the higher level , as represented by the best directors , there is almost none at all . or , perhaps better , there is none visible . in the history of each director there has been some . that we no longer see it in the most experienced directors leads us directly to a basic assumption in the definition of japanese film style : the japanese are unable to handle anything without sooner or later nationalizing it - or , perhaps better put , the peculiar japanese genius is that of assimilation and incorporation . any influence\n214 , ' by akira kurosawvva , ~ ~ os i . . . kixata zushi , mi iasakdaro sbinoda . tatsuyai ~ n ~ akaai , shimaui n ' wa - . . shita on film , 1970 , directed by\n244 appendix harakiri ( seppuku ) , 1962 , 135 mmn . kwaidan ( kaidan ) , 1965 , il6o mim . sh wr kazuo kuroki akira kurosawa silence has no wings ( tobenai chimoku ) , 1l967 , iog min . the men who tread on the tiger ' s tail ( tora no 0 o fumu otokotachi ) , - 1945 , 6o min . drunken angel ( yoidore tenshi ) , 1948 , 1 - 02 mi . stray dog ( nora inu ) , 1 . 949 , 122 mi . scandal ( shubun ) , 1 . 950 , 10 5 minl . rashomon , 1950 , 84 minl . the idiot ( hakuchi ) , . 1951 , the i66 min . version . ikiru , 1952 , 140 mmn . seven samurai ( shichinin no samurai ) , 1 - 954 , 141 . min . version . i live in fear ( record of a living being ) ( ikimono no kiroku ) , 1955 , 1l05 min . un ab ab ab sii ja ny ab ab ab\nappendix japanese films circulated in 16 mm in the united states guide to abbreviations : ab audio film center and brandon films , inc . , affiliated with crowell , collier and macmillan , inc . , 34 macquesten parkway , south , mount vernon , n . y . 10550 ca cavalcade pictures , inc . , 959 north fairfax avenue , hollywood , calif . 90046 co contemporary films , affiliated with mcgraw - hill , inc . , 330 west 42 street , new york , n . y . 10036 cv cinema ventures , 133 west 14 street , new york , n . y . 1oo12 fi film images , a division of radim films , inc . , 17 west 60 street , new york , n . y . 10023 gr grove press , inc . , film division , 53 east 11 street , new york , n . y . 10003\n140 japanese cinema as such , seem to demand . the form , rather , is organic ; it is that demanded by the characters rather than the plot . open - ended sequences , visual non - sequiturs , and lapses of continuity , all carefully judged , create the air of believability so characteristic of this film . though far different from such early films about children as those of ozu and shimizu , it joins them through its honest realism and its bitter perception . equally perceptive were ceremony ( gisaku , 1971 ) , and , in particular , the man who left his will on film ( tokyo senso sengo hiwa , 1970 ) , an elaborately selfreferential film about a student making a movie . he kills himself at the end of the picture , and the film he was making becomes the film we have been seeing . using a completely amateur cast , oshima succeeded brilliantly in creating a visual counterpart for the world which an acutely sensitive youth must feel and fear . in these later and mature films the excesses of youth , its revolts , its retreats , are captured with a compassion quite missing from the earlier work . at the same time , however , one must add that the individuality of oshima , of kobayashi , and of masumura is a bit like that of imai , and is different from that , say , of ozu or kurosawa , in that stylistic unity is imposed not by the director but by the subject matter he chooses . another example would be yasuke chiba , whose personal style was based entirely in the shomin - geki genre seen in the films of shimazu , of ozu , or gosho . downtown ( shitamachi , 1957 ) was an excellent short film about a poor working woman - beautifully played by isuzu ya\n1896 - 1945 41 use for chronology and so dispensed with it . rather , we see one image ( the sister in her room concerned for her brother ' s safety ) cut directly into another ( his sister much younger , during their childhood ) , the link being neither logical nor causal but emotional . later , the linkage becomes even more subjective . pain becomes a visible hallucination when the water he is drinking turns to steam ; the cat , attracted by his open , bloody wounds , becomes something evil , a black , creeping form . again and again in this film the cut is determined not by its slight plot , not by the several convolutions of the story line , but because one scene suggests another or because one object suggests another : the round shape of a hat , the round shape of a teacup - an early example of what eisenstein called analytical montage . the construction is largely made of such parallels and it is just in such a manner that many japanese pictures are made , from the understated parallels of an ozu picture to the hidden parallels in a kurosawa film . it is also indicative of japanese film that though this picture was a period film - it was set late in the eighteenth century - kinugasa treated it as though it were contemporary . that is , he put his audience into the mind of a living person , the hero of the picture . this is so rare in western historical pictures that those who do so - dreyer in the passion of joan of arc , for example , completed a year before this film - are considered exceptional . in japan this is not the only method of making a period film , but it is certainly a common one . one of the reasons is that japan is a young moder\n1896 - 1945 5 the first japanese pictures , however , contained not only 1904 street scenes and geisha dances but also the most celebrated stage actors of the day in action on the stage . in the west , the stage was still refusing to be compromised by the low - class novelty but in japan the stage interested itself in the movies to the extent that at least several dramatic troupes commissioned early cameramen to film portions of their plays so that these could serve as advertisements at those theaters specializing in motion pictures . somewhat later the situation was to be reversed . in america the movies became socially acceptable only by the innovation of filmed theater with its\nfamous players\n; in france by the stagy film dart . in japan the actors were to show less enthusiasm , realizing that movies are the natural enemy of the stage , and fearing that if they appeared in film no one would come to see them in the flesh . initially , however , the west was given time to develop at least the rudiments of film grammar and vocabulary before the stage took over ; in japan the influence of stage upon screen was from the first complete . since no two art forms are further apart , the effect upon the infant japanese cinema could have been disastrous . the first japanese films , as stagy as any film dart , were burdened with all the accouterments of the japanese stage . the continual front - center shot and the idea that actors must be seen full - length were limitations shared with other countries , but in japan alone was there an\n6 japanese cinema insistence upon female impersonators and , the major obstacle to cinematic technique , the benshi . the benshi was a narrator - commentator - explainer who accompanied most film showings until well into the era of sound , narrating a story which was at least occasionally of his own construction , commenting upon the apparent , and explaining the obvious . his popularity was extreme and was based upon that very quality which had made films so instantly popular : japanese enthusiasm for selfimprovement . then as now the japanese were unfailingly curious and , at the same time , unfailingly disturbed lest they not understand everything . this audience created the benshi , gave him his enormous prestige , and paid him his not inconsiderable rewards . although the benshi was not unique - america had its lantern - slide and travel - film commentators ; france , its movie compare - he long outstayed his welcome and prevented the japanese film from early attaining that reliance upon purely pictorial means which is the true strength of the motion picture . but he effectively filled a basic need , the need for complete instruction . his effect upon the japanese film is almost impossible to overestimate , and certain aspects of even the latest movies can be traced back to the benshi and to the need which he satisfied . though japanese films can be the most subtle in the world , the most understated , the most evocative , a commentator will frequently reiterate a point already presented visually . a scene will often appear , unnecessary in the context of the film , which explains what went before . those japanese critics who called rashomon\n1946 - 1971 233 manism , his dostoevsky - like compassion , remains his final and his strongest statement . in seven samurai , however , compassion is not sentimentality . it has been tempered with action ; theory has become practice . violent physical action , things done , things accomplished , things completed , things irrevocable : these are what this film is made of . the end result of all this action ( and there has rarely been so violent an\naction film\nas seven samurai ) is the distillation of a single bittersweet and almost unpalatable truth , but one the emotional acceptance of which is impossible to avoid . the story is simple . a small village , completely defenseless , is harassed by bandits . they ask the aid of a group of masterless samurai , men as homeless , as outside society as the robbers they are asked to fight . they agree , and the body of the film shows their defense , during which a number of them die . the villagers are grateful , but it is spring planting season . they are busy , they have things to do . the remaining samurai leave the town they have defended , the only home they know . they stop in front of the grave of those they left behind , then they move on . the film is an impassioned call for cooperation among men and , at the same time , suggests why this has always been and will always be impossible . like la grande illusion - which it resembles in no other way - seven samurai demonstrates the essential sympathy binding men together , and shows how war perverts it . but , more , the kurosawa film goes on to demonstrate that peace too\n1946 - 1971 197 believe . if they lack anything , it is immediacy ; just as the films of imai and kobayashi , oshima and masumura , lack that interest in character delineation , in the intricate interplay of character with environment , which is so much of film style , since this is just what is sacrificed through exclusive interest in social issues . these two qualities - an interest in film aesthetics as a medium of emotional communication and an equal interest in social issues which are larger than the single man - are reconciled in the work of akira kurosawa , a film director whom the last twenty - five years has revealed as so thoroughly whole and in that sense so completely great that one can compare him only to yasujiro ozuhis utter opposite , the director most antithetical , and yet one with whom , oddly , he shares more than any other . like ozu , he is a master stylist . he adds to a given theme , or plot , or incident , all of the circumstances calculated to produce the entire effect that the theme or the plot or the incident ought to produce . he creates an entire world , along with all the laws which govern it . he shows character by presenting what motivates that character . and he suggests the environment , the context , of every action . one of the effects of this is that kurosawa ' s world is a private one , one that is uniquely his own . one minute of an ozu or a kurosawa film is enough to let you know whose it is . at the same time the work of kurosawa represents a departure from the tradition of the japanese film . he has always refused to make the expected kind of picture . he has consistently confused critics and , sometimes , au\ni80 japanese cinema complications whether he truly understands them or not . the reason is that shinoda is not interested in the intricacies of history . they are useful only in establishing various kinds of action necessary for the disclosure of his main concern . this is the shapes or patterns of men ' s lives . and this interest accounts both for his cursory treatment of history and for the structure of the film itself . in the first reel we believe we are being introduced to the heroes and that they are talking about the villains . by the time the second reel is over , however , we have heard enough to know that the first men might be villains and that the\nvillains\nmay well be heroic . as the film progresses , we are led to question the ethical motives of everyone in the film . the screenplay , which shinoda helped write , as he does for all his films , uses the methods of orson welles ' s citizen kane or , perhaps better , francesco rosi ' s salvatore giuliano . the film loops back again and again into the main character ' s life , never solving any of the problems , nor resolving any of the differences . as a consequence , the character ( played by tetsuro tamba ) becomes more and more alive throughout the course of the film . in this sense , a very complicated plot becomes simple as the director makes one live through it . shinoda ' s shogunate japan - seen here in double suicide , in sarutobi , in buraikan , and in silence - is a world in itself . again one thinks of mizoguchi , because there has been no other director since him who could create the feeling of historical locale as well . in assassination shinoda creates a real world ( much of which is shot\n1946 - 1971 227 corner of the picture frame ; and all of this incessant and meaningless motion confuses and fatigues the eye . ikiru presents the same disordered environment , but intensifies it . the film is long and varied ; it winds and unwinds ; it shifts from mood to mood , from present to past , from silence to a deafening roar - all in the most unabashed and absorbing fashion . one can compare it only to citizen kane , a film japan did not see until its 1961 television showings , in which , for much the same reason , the resources of the camera are strained to the limit : the marvelous\nnight town\nsequences in which camera motion is consummately used to suggest the teeming city ; the scenes in the office , so hushed and underplayed that they all but shout for attention ; the final funeral sequence ( the last third of the film ) where the life of the dead official is reviewed over and over again , each repetition getting a bit nearer the truth . in all of kurosawa ' s best films the style fits the story so closely that the resulting emotional experience is literally unforgettable . this is seen even in his debut film , sanshiro sugata , and in its 1945 sequel , where the judo story was reflected in athletic cutting , and in the bounce and pace of the tempo . it is seen fully matured in two of the director ' s very finest pictures : rashomon and seven samurai . the former is extremely well known , probably the most famous japanese film ever made . its theme , like that of ikiru , is basically existential : a man is what he does , not what he intends nor what he believes ; truth is just as relative as anything else and reality is a matter of in\n1946 - 1971 79 analysis is followed without comment by a master stroke : the very next scene , late at night , finds her drunk , coming into his room and flinging herself at him . in their separate ways both the geisha and the young heroine of wild geese overcome tradition and toyoda ' s occasional animosity toward the traditionally japanese is , unlike that of naruse , only rarely stated . one of his fullest statements , however , is found in one of his finest films : grass whistle ( mugibue , 1955 ) . it is the story of three adolescents , the girl still a child , the boys just growing into that long and difficult period which is prelude to manhood . they are good children , if a bit wild , and - like all children - they manage to live entirely outside the traditional society represented by their parents . but they are not immune to it . their tragedy is not merely the coming of adulthood and the consequent loss of the candor of childhood , more specifically it is their subscribing to attitudes and beliefs , properly traditional in themselves , which have no relevance to their own problems . one of the boys dies . his friend had loved him , and the girl had loved him ; and , in the honest manner of children , both boy and girl also love each other . in the final sequence of the film they go to the grave of their friend and the boy attempts to tell her what he feels . already old enough to distrust her emotions , she almost hysterically subscribes to whatever ideas of morality she has already absorbed from the grown - ups . it becomes evil to think of herself in the presence of the dead - rather , she must remain faithful to a memory which is already\ndrama japanese cinema film style and national character donald richie it is common knowledge that japan has produced one of the most extraordinary national cinemas in the history of film . this book , written by the internationally - recognized expert on the subject , makes japanese movies accessible to western audiences as never before . it is , first of all , a succinct history of japanese film , from the beginning through 1970 . it is also , however , an exploration of japanese culture - and the japanese mind . the author relates the films to the other art forms , and the traditions and attitudes of the japanese people . he is thus able to refute the occasional western objections that japanese movies are sentimental , or boring , or full of cliches . the book discusses not only the well - known classics of such directors as kurosawa and mizoguchi , but also the popular\nentertainment\nfilms as well . it establishes the historical basis for the important post - war films that first brought japanese cinema to the attention of the world . above all , this book explores the unique vision of the japanese film - makers , the vision\nwhich is the aesthetic of japan - and which has created some of the most beautiful and truthful films ever made .\nthis volume is complete with numerous stills from the films , an appendix with information about 16 mm . distribution in the united states , and an index . cover design by sydney butchkes cover photograph , double suicide , courtesy of toho motion picture company , ltd . , tokyo a doubleday anchor original isbn : 0 - 385 - 09441 - 8\n48 japanese cinema in any event there was , in japan , an early public acceptance of the realistic historical film , an agreement from the man in the balcony that his problems were much like those of the samurai on the screen . consequently , japanese directors retained a freedom to make pertinent , living historical films , something which was often denied like - minded directors - and dreyer is the most obvious example - in the west . not that the japanese do not make historical distinctions . indeed , in common use , the distinctions are indelible . the period film is always thought of as an isolated genre and it is indicative of japan ' s attitude toward itself that it should make such a rigid division between the jidai - geki , the period drama , and the gendai - geki , the film about contemporary life . yet this dichotomy exists only because of the traditional japanese fondness for , and dependence upon , intellectual categorization . the continuum of history flows serenely over all barriers and the japanese , in life as in films , quite accepts a living past . he no more questions this than he questions that , after a hard day ' s work , he comes home , takes off his business suit and gets comfortable in a kimono . this , naturally , implies a double standard . there is no more truly logical connection between kimono and business suit than there is between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries . the japanese is necessarily of two minds - mutually incompatible to western eyes - about his world . this pattern is reflected over and over in the japanese film . it becomes a theme of the greatest importance to\n232 japanese cinema samurai ( shichinin no samurai , 1954 ) - originally shown abroad , before the american remake ( 1961 ) , as the magnificent seven - kurosawa ' s best film and one which , were it necessary to make the choice , i should call the finest japanese film ever made . in a way , it is the summation of everything which is most japanese about the japanese film . it is concerned with the present , though its story is laid in the past . it criticizes contemporary values but insists that they are , after all , human values . it faithfully and honestly creates the context of japanese life , man and his surroundings . at the same time it is concerned with timeless values and universal attitudes . it uses a controlled realism as vehicle and presents a surface of superlative physical beauty which serves to accentuate the beauty beneath . in many ways seven samurai is both the opposite and the continuation of rashomon . the earlier film represents the limitations of the intellect : four stories , each completely intellectualized , all mutually incompatible , and all , in their way ,\ntrue .\nseven samurai on the other hand steps beyond intellectualization . it says that only those acts which spring from emotion are valid acts ; that action thus motivated is itself truth . this truth is one which remains , though universally applicable , particularly japanese . it is one which is shared with zen and with the haiku , as well as the films of ozu and kurosawa - the emotions comprehend where the intellect falters . the basic dichotomy is one recognized and insisted upon in japan just as much as in the west , and kurosawa ' s hu\n1946 - 1971 99 ( fuefukigawa , 1960 ) - kinoshita ' s last important picture before his retiring into television - a chronicle film about five generations in the lives of a poor farming family during the sixteenth century . again , the film had a rich theatricality about it , emphasized by a use of color which purposely imitated the very early forms of japanese woodblock prints . in addition kinoshita , particularly in the battle scenes , used still photographs which both halted and held the action . though this technique might be described as an innovation , one should also notice its extreme similarity to the kami - shibai , the old paper - slide theater which the boys and girls of japan still love . the theme of the film would appear antitraditional . the final scene , the true climax of this beautifully made and often compelling film , shows the last remaining member of the family picking up the banner of the ruling family , for which he and his ancestors have traditionally fought , as it floats by on the river , then , with a superb gesture of rejection , throwing it back into the river . what has also become apparent , however , is that kinoshita is only rejecting the worst . the rest of traditional life he keeps and approves . perhaps no more war for tyrannical ruling families but , at the same time , when every new son rides off into the world we are made to feel that mother and father are somehow slighted and that , after all , the family is the most important thing . the attitude of a director such as imai would be , perhaps , that mother is wrong , that it is more important for a young son to realize himself . with this interpretation one\n224 japanese cinema desire is both timeless and international in its appeal and it is this quality which kurosawa both preserved and amplified . kurosawa saw in the picture a continuation of a major theme :\ni keep saying the same thing in different ways : if i look at the pictures i ' ve made , i think they say , ' why is it that human beings aren ' t happy ? ' both ikiru and record of a living being are such pictures - the throne of blood on the other hand shows why they must be unhappy .\nthe reasons are the most elemental rules of the human comedy - kurosawa and shakespeare both agree on just what they are . so , in this film kurosawa continued his thesis that power invariably corrupts . since the story was a legend and the theme timeless , however , he discarded the extreme realism of other historical films , and created a film style which so completely suited the plot that form and content became visually one . using only a handful of components - drifting fog and smoke , rainy forests , the shining surface of armor , the sheen of natural wood , the translucence of cloudy skies , the dead white of human skin - kurosawa , with his cameraman , azakazu nakai , created a film with a definite texture . it was as though you could feel it with the hand . more , it was a nearly perfect fusion of film and sound - and one studded with examples of the director ' s talent . just a few were : a marvelous scene - not in shakespeare - where hundreds of birds , disturbed by the destruction of their forest , fly into the banquet hall and circle around the distraught hero ; the sequence where\n1946 - 1971 103 highest attainment a woman can reach is not in becoming a wife , as in , say , an american film , but in becoming a mother . that this rather monstrous mother as seen in japanese films does not often exist in real life means little . she exists on film and is there because audiences have willed her there . the most notable haha is yuko mochizuki , a fine actress who now finds herself mother most of the time . she - and this particular type of mother role - is seen at her best in such atypical films as kinoshita ' s a japanese tragedy and imai ' s rice ( kome , 1957 ) . in both films she commits suicide , the common lot of japanese film mothers . though mother still reigns , a contender has appeared in the tsuma - mono , or wife picture . this is a postwar development and reflects a very real change of japanese attitude . of course wives were featured in prewar films but seldom did these pictures focus on them as individuals unless they also happened to be mothers . in such cases the fact that mother is also a wife was irrelevant . to speak of a mother in a haha - mono is to speak of a person who occupies a definite place in the family . in the tsuma - mono , on the other hand , it is a concern for the wife as an individual which animates the film . her problems are personally hers and though she may represent young or old wives everywhere , the emphasis is upon her as an individual . not that her problems in japanese films are too varied . usually this motion - picture wife is concerned with her attempt to defend or discover her own individuality . very\n102 japanese cinema structure . another favorite complication is that father is more childish than any of the children . the tragic father is always tragic because he is no longer a father and the films of ozu are , even on this popular level , the perfect example . mother , on the other hand , is almost always sympathetic . she is also so prevalent that an entire genre , the haha - mono , or mother film , has been created just for her . in the usual haha - mono there is no escape for mother . she must sacrifice and suffer . it is all a part of her life . if she has any happiness , it is only in the hope that her husband may reform . there is very slight chance of this , however ; it is not even socially desirable in a totally male - oriented society . then there are also problems with the children , who often turn out ungrateful for mother ' s loving care . in a foreign film , when a child runs away , the mother often feels that she has some connection with her child ' s departure and that perhaps he will be happier away from home . it seldom occurs to the japanese mother in the ordinary haha - mono , however , that her child ' s happiness is at stake . she feels totally betrayed and the only remedy is a complete reconciliation in which all the old relationships are restored . thus , the foreign film mother finds happiness through adjustment ; the japanese entertainment film mother almost never realizes that any adjustment , other than her child ' s , is required . mother ' s attitude may be unreasonable but , as has been pointed out many times before , she has a vested interest to protect . in japanese films the\n1946 - 1971 229 incited them into the duel which killed her husband . all stories are equally plausible , all are probably true - this is what the original script intended to convey , and here it ended . it was kurosawa himself who added the epilogue . he has said that the film was otherwise too short and so it probably was . at the same time , however , the addition is so typical of the director that one cannot well imagine the film without it . after the various stories the cry of an infant is heard . the three find an abandoned baby and the servant steals some of its clothing just as the woodcutter had stolen , we find , the woman ' s dagger . the priest remonstrates , thinking the woodcutter intends to strip the infant , but he merely picks it up , saying that though he has six others at home , one more will not matter . the priest , moved , says :\nyou have , i think , restored my faith in humanity .\nthis addition is completely typical of the director . it is compassion which , in a way , rights all wrongs ; amid a chaos of relative values it is the only absolute . it is also typical of kurosawa that he should have chosen for the film the particular style that he did . of it , he says :\ni wanted to return to the simple pictorial values of the silent picture - it is an attempt to bring back the lost beauty of the film .\ncertainly , so far as pictorial beauty goes , this is a ravishing motion picture . even mizoguchi rarely equaled the beauty of the opening scenes , with lord and wife wandering through the forest . the shots of sunlight filtering through foliage may have been inspired by similar scenes in the films of\n58 japanese cinema verted . realism might be used for propagandistic purposes but , at the same time , it remained the principal ingredient of the national film style . the concern for environment , for atmosphere , so much a part of japanese cinema , though heavily criticized during the war for its\nlack of optimism ,\nremained a part of the film just as it has for centuries remained a part of the character . though an unbiased view was directly opposed to the aims of the militarists , the japanese ability to see the present in the past was by this time so strongly a part of japanese motion picture style that even the most jingoistic of wartime period films were elevated by it . all of these qualities managed to exist throughout the war and , in the years following , as though after a period of incubation , flowered in so luxurious a manner that foreign critics called it a cinematic renaissance . it was not that . rather , it was the logical outcome of what had gone before . the golden age of the japanese cinema had come .\n1896 - 1945 13 raquin , ernst lubitsch , erich von stroheim , and g . w . pabst , attempted to create entire worlds , with details so telling that the feeling of actuality became almost palpable . these directors presented characters along with the forces which motived them . their eye for action was so acute that the result was psychological revelation . the early films which helped form japanese film style had an intimacy and a concern for detail which made them unusual . murata and mizoguchi were not merely telling stories . rather , they were creating a world which faithfully reflected and sometimes illuminated the reality of japanese life . murata called his style\nsymbolic photographicism ,\nby which he meant a kind of realism in which all the characters were lifelike but whose actions and personalities had symbolic and occasionally , as in souls on the road , almost allegorical meanings . mizoguchi ' s aims were the same though his methods were different . always interested in pictorial beauty , having studied to be a painter , he excelled in the creation of atmosphere , that almost palpable feeling of reality which is the special quality of the well - made film . just as murata wanted his characters to be real but also larger than life , so mizoguchi , and those many more traditionally minded directors who followed him , wanted a world that was more realistic than life . the creation of such a place is naturally one of the privileges of any film director . we approach the films of von stroheim , of lubitsch , of josef von sternberg , of max ophuls , for example , as creations of the directors ' own worlds , which obey their own inner laws and which\n98 japanese cinema sorrows that they are , at the end of the film , able to remember . in a picture as late as the scent of incense ( koge , 1964 ) , a three - hour chronicle film , we see that traditional japan - reactionary and insular - has a way of warping lives , but that this is somehow beautiful because it enables people to live nobly if ( or because ) unhappily . even more explicit was the ballad of narayama ( narayamabushi - ko , 1958 ) , about a small community in the northern mountains whose custom it was to expose the aged to the elements so that there would be more food for the young . the barbarity of the custom , one absolutely unauthenticated it should be added , did not move kinoshita ( indeed , he made very decorative use of it ) nearly so much as did the spectacle of the son who , the perfect japanese chonan , weeping and struggling , was forced to deposit his mother on top of narayama . tradition , in this case , naturally , did not consist of the fictitious abandoning of the aged , but rather the traditional respect with which youngsters regard their elders in japan , a tradition all the more conspicuous because of its ostensible absence from this film . technically the ballad of narayama reflected kinoshita ' s later preoccupation with the traditional . though using both color and widescreen , the director relied heavily on stage effects - even choosing to frame the story in devices taken from the kabuki , that most traditional of japanese theatrical forms . at times this thoroughly conservative motion picture even appeared to be filmed theater . the same was somewhat true of the river fuefuki\n236 japanese cinema nique ( including extensive use of telephoto lenses for intimacy , shooting even the most violent of sword fights in this manner ) to content , with superb results . the story , which concerns rival gangs in a small town at the end of the edo period , is composed of the very stuff of the ordinary period film . toshiro mifune is the masterless samurai , amused and contemptuous , who sets everything right . but kurosawa , like yamanaka before him , infused this common material with new life , returning to even the most notorious cliches their original value . cliches , film or otherwise , are clich6s only because they happen to be true , and in yojimbo kurosawa ' s validating of material which the common japanese cinema had deprived of all life was particularly striking . to take but one example : one of the staple cliches of the period film is a falling fighter ' s crying oka ( from okaasan , meaning mother ) as he dies . nowadays it is used in a most perfunctory manner , and kurosawa , seeing it as a challenge , deliberately revitalized it . first in a short scene with a mother and her small son , where it was used with all of the human emotion it retains in ordinary japanese speech ; next in a very funny scene where a weak young man , released by the rival gang , rushes to his mother , and barely gets it out of his mouth before she viciously slaps him ; and finally in a fighting scene where a dying gang member gives back to it all the horror and despair and longing for life which rightfully belongs to it . the very fact that the material is so ordinary makes\n12 japanese cinema japanese audiences just how enlightening and entertaining motion pictures could be . intolerance had been seen in 1919 but it was only after the earthquake , and the resultant shortage of japanese films , that foreign pictures were imported in any number . within a year such important films as the marriage circle , the covered wagon , and the birth of a nation had all been seen . the audiences now took much more readily to the experiments of kaeriyama , osanai , murata , and mizoguchi , which had helped form the basis of common japanese cinematic style . like all true cinematic styles it was based upon realism , upon the fact that the camera cannot help but reflect reality , the style consisting in part of realizing and utilizing rather than attempting to disguise this fact . a film like souls on the road is just as realistic as , say , henry king ' s torable david , made in the same year , and is much more realistic than such stagy 1921 spectacles as fritz lang ' s destiny or d . w . griffith ' s atypical orphans of the storm . realism , however , though it must be the basis of the style , is seldom more than that . the apparently actual must be made meaningful by both a selection and an interpretation . the way in which this has been done constitutes the aesthetic history of the film . some directors , like griffith or sergei eisenstein , created the feeling of reality through cutting , through the structure , or the form of the film they were creating . others , like e . a . dupont and dziga vertov , called attention to the camera itself . still others , such as charles chaplin in a woman of paris , jacques feyder in therese\n1946 - 1971 71 dying , and that he regarded this as a tragedy . it is typical of ozu ' s world that in it only the very young and the very inexperienced ever attempt to escape from the limitations of this traditional world . ozu ' s successes are his fathers and the mothers in such films as floating weeds and late autumn , and their success lies precisely in their accepting these limitations as their own . as in that line from robert frost , they\nfind salvation in surrender .\nthe traditional japanese view is limiting , for better or for worse . and the majority of japanese film directors treating these values - and almost every japanese director has , they are such a part of japanese life - are agreed that the limitation is for the worse , though the dismissal is not always as abrupt as that of a kurosawa or an imai . both mikio naruse and shiro toyoda reflect traditional problems but are not content , as is ozu , to reflect . they seem to imply that it is good that tradition dies or , at least , they show it as something from which their characters attempt to escape and cannot . naruse has said :\nmy films deal exclusively with the home . so do most japanese films . it is in this fact that we find a major fault of japanese pictures - the home is simply too narrow a place in which to set everything . . . only if japanese films can succeed in breaking beyond the limits of the family will they have truly universal meaning .\nthus , in a naruse film , the family is usually held together by bonds so strong that no single member can break them . and , unlike in an ozu film , they all want"]}

'\nhearing this , o bharata , the son of kunti , king yudhishthira the just , along with his brothers , then asked markandeya saying , ' it hath been heard by us that both vaka and dalvya are of great souls and endowed with immortality and that those rishis , held in universal reverence , are the friends of the chief of the gods . o holy one , i desire to listen lo the ( history of the ) meeting of vaka and indra that is full of both joy and woe . narrate thou that history unto us succinctly . '\nvaka answered , ' if without having to associate with a wicked friend , a man cooks scanty vegetables in his own house at the eight or the twelfth part of the day , there can be nothing happier than that . 1 he in whose case the day is not counted is not called voracious . and , o maghavan , happiness is even his own whose scanty vegetables are cooked . earned by his own efforts , without having to depend upon any one , he that eateth even fruits and vegetables in his own house is entitled to respect . he that eateth in another ' s house the food given to him in contempt , even if that food be rich and sweet , doth what is despicable . this , therefore , is the opinion of the wise that fie on the food of that mean wretch who like a dog or a rakshasa eateth at another ' s house . if after treating guests and servants and offering food to the manes a good brahmana eateth what remains , there can be nothing happier than that . there is nothing sweeter or more sacred , o thou of a hundred sacrifices , than that food which such a person takes after serving the guest with the first portion thereof . each mouthful ( of rice ) that the brahmana eats after having served the guest , produces merit equal to what attaches to the gift of a thousand kine . and whatever sins such a one may have committed in his youth are all washed away of a certainty . the water in the hands of the brahmana that hath been fed and honoured with a pecuniary gift ( after the feeding is over ) when touched with water ( sprinkled by him that feeds ) , instantly purges off all the sins of the latter ! '\nspeaking of these and various other things with vaka , the chief of the gods went away to heaven . '\n2\n399 : 1 they , therefore , that lead deathless lives can enjoy this bliss from day to day for ever .\n399 : 2 it is difficult to understand how all that vaka says can be an answer to indra ' s question . the chief of the gods enquires : what are the joys of those that lead deathless lives ? vaka breaks away unto a confused rigmarole about the merits of independence and the religious merit of entertaining guests and servants . all the printed editions have the passage as rendered here .\nmarkandeya continued , ' o lord of men , the beautiful siva endowed with great virtues and an unspotted character was the wife of angiras ( one of the seven rishis ) . that excellent lady ( swaha ) at first assuming the disguise of siva , sought the presence of agni unto whom she said , ' o agni , i am tortured with love for thee . do thou think it fit to woo me . and if thou dost not accede to my request , know that i shall commit self - destruction . i am siva the wife of angiras . i have come here according to the advice of the wives of the other rishis , who have sent me here after due deliberation . '\nswaha replied , ' thou art always a favourite with us , but we are afraid of thee . now having read thy mind by well - known signs , they have sent to thy presence . i have come here to gratify my desire . be thou quick , o agni , to encompass the object of thy desire , my sisters - in - law are awaiting me . i must return soon . '\nmarkandeya continued , ' then agni , filled with great joy and delight , married swaha in the guise of siva , and that lady joyfully cohabiting with him , held the semen virile in her hands . and then she thought within herself that those who would observe her in that disguise in the forest , would cast an unmerited slur upon the conduct of those brahmana ladies in connection with agni . therefore , to prevent this , she should assume the disguise of a bird , and in that state she should more easily get out of the forest .\nmarkandeya continued , ' then assuming the disguise of a winged creature , she went out of the forest and reached the white mountain begirt with clumps of heath and other plants and trees , and guarded by strange seven - headed serpents with poison in their very looks , and abounding with rakshasas , male and female pisachas , terrible spirits , and various kinds of birds and animals . that excellent lady quickly ascending a peak of those mountains , threw that semen into a golden lake . and then assuming successively\nthe other mountains . and the earth was greatly afflicted and bereft of her ornaments on all sides . and in this distress , she went over to skanda and once more shone with all her might . and the mountains too bowed down to skanda and came back and stuck into the earth . and all creatures then celebrated the worship of skanda on the fifth day of the lunar month .\nand while the lady of handsome eyes was still engaged in waiting upon her lord , she beheld that brahmana waiting for alms and beholding him , she remembered that she had asked him to wait . and remembering all this , she felt abashed . and then that chaste woman possessed of great fame , took something for alms and went out , o thou foremost of the bharatas , for giving it unto that brahmana . and when she came before him , the brahmana said , ' o best of women , o blessed one , i am surprised at thy conduct ! having requested me to wait saying , ' stay ' thou didst not dismiss me ! '\nmarkandeya continued , ' o lord of men beholding that brahmana filled with wrath and blazing with his energy , that chaste woman began to conciliate him and said , ' o learned one , it behoveth thee to forgive me . my husband is my supreme god . he came hungry and tired and was being served and waited upon by me . ' hearing this , the brahmana said , ' with thee brahmanas are not worthy of superior regard . exaltest thou thy husband above them ? leading a domestic life , dost thou disregard brahmanas ? indra himself boweth down unto them , what shall i say of men on earth . proud woman , dost thou not know it , hast thou never heard it , that the\ndependeth on sruti . but , o foremost of regenerate ones , virtue as exposed in sruti appears to be of various kinds . it is , therefore , too subtle of comprehension . thou , o holy one , art cognisant of virtue , pure , and devoted to the study of the vedas . i think , however , o holy one , that thou dost not know what virtue in reality is . repairing to the city of mithila , enquire thou of a virtuous fowler there , if indeed , o regenerate one , thou art not really acquainted with what constitutes the highest virtue . there liveth in mithila a fowler who is truthful and devoted to the service of his parents and who hath senses under complete control . even he will discourse to thee on virtue . blessed be thou , o best of regenerate ones , if thou likest , repair thither . o faultless one , it behoveth thee to forgive me , if what i have said be unpalatable , for they that are desirous of acquiring virtue are incapable of injuring women ! '\nat these words of the chaste woman , the brahmana replied , saying , ' i am gratified with thee . blessed be thou ; my anger hath subsided , o beautiful one ! the reproofs uttered by thee will be of the highest advantage to me . blessed be thou , i shall now go and accomplish what is so conducive , o handsome one , to my benefit !

production partners for she\u2019s lost control , and helped me finish the film for the berlin international film festival . they\u2019re an amazing sound facility that anyone in new york with a great project should check out .\nanja marquardt\u2019s debut feature , she\u2019s lost control , covers thematic and emotional terrain similar to the sessions , ben lewin\u2019s 2012 drama about the complex relationship between a man with intimacy issues and the sex surrogate who tries to help him . but whereas lewin approached the knotty subject matter with a light touch and a hearty but never - vulgar sense of humor , marquardt\u2019s film takes a more clinical approach as it turns the focus mostly on the surrogate herself .\nwe couldn ' t do this without you , and to show our appreciation , we have lined up some great gifts in return for your generosity . all of our rewards are designed to give you a window into the world of she ' s lost control , so they ' re connected either to the film itself or the people working on it .\nhow will we use these funds ? every dollar we raise in this campaign will go directly into making she ' s lost control . with the funds we ' re already raised , it means that : if we reach our goal of $ 50 , 000 , we can go into production !\n( she\u2019s lost control world premiered at the 2014 berlinale . it also screened at the 2014 sxsw film festival , and will have its new york premiere at new directors / new films 2014 , the first screening which is on saturday march 29th . visit the film\u2019s facebook page for more information . note : susanna locascio worked on the film as 2nd ad but rather than being a conflict of interest , we felt this would contribute to a more illuminating conversation here , which , after reading said conversation , we feel strongly that you will agree . )\n\u201cit was interesting especially to see how different groups of people reacted to the film . at berlin [ international film festival 2014 ] where the film premiered , it was an older audience , and people had very different feelings about the subject matter than in south korea at a film festival with a much younger demographic , \u201d she said .\nit ' s no coincidence that as stewart has come into her power as a critically acclaimed indie star , she ' s also turned to directing , reaching inward for artistic inspiration . her first short film , a 17 -

nov 9 ) winning the golden alexander .\nonce it becomes evident where she\u2019s lost control is headed , the film becomes vastly less interesting\u2014marquardt hasn\u2019t thought of a unique take on this predictable scenario , she\u2019s merely done an expert job of disguising it . still , the first half does function as a impressive showcase for her formal chops , as well as for bloom\u2019s gorgeously empathetic performance . the actor doles out clues to ronah\u2019s psyche in the most naturalistic way imaginable , while marquardt keeps her moving around so briskly that it\u2019s hard to draw simplistic conclusions ; they make a superb team , and the movie feels , for a while , as if it could go practically anywhere . menchaca , by contrast , never succeeds in making johnny more than a sullen cipher at the mercy of an increasingly threadbare script . a climactic moment of violence , likewise , seems obligatory , not inevitable . what she\u2019s lost control really loses is steam , because it\u2019s never particularly invested in its outcome , or even in forward motion . when the mystery\u2019s gone , so is the inspiration .\nas its title implies , \u201cshe\u2019s lost control\u201d tracks the gradual breakdown of its heroine ( brooke bloom ) , a grad student working as a sexual surrogate in new york . a hundred eighty degrees away from the sentimentality of the similarly themed \u201cthe sessions , \u201d anja marquardt\u2019s debut feature favors cold , clinical compositions , often showing characters from behind ; this [ \u2026 ]\nby virtue of its premise , \u201cshe\u2019s lost control\u201d calls to mind certain obvious precedents , but maintains a unique tone . it\u2019s almost too easy to recognize that the quasi - romance at the center of marquardt\u2019s story contains elements of \u201cthe sessions\u201d without the excessive sentimentalism , while its vision of professional sexuality suggests \u201cthe girlfriend experience\u201d minus the sleaze factor . but marquardt aims more precisely for a character study in which the themes quietly percolate through her subject\u2019s disposition .\nboundaries are meant to be broken in \u201cshe\u2019s lost control , \u201d the remarkably sure - footed debut from writer - director anja marquardt . centering on a psychology grad student ( brooke bloom ) working as a sex surrogate in new york , the film appropriately opens with the eradication of the fourth wall : \u201ci know you pay me for my time , but you can\u2019t control how i feel , \u201d ronah ( bloom ) says , her big eyes gazing directly into the camera . by the time we circle back to the conversation in full , it\u2019s revealed that she\u2019s addressing johnny ( marc menchaca ) , a particularly guarded and volatile client who threatens to tip the balance of ronah\u2019s personal and professional life .\nmarquardt said she was looking for a way to write about this experience when she came across this particular field of therapy .\nwriter - director anja marquardt \u2019s austerely elegant first feature is a chilly psychological stroll through the minefield of other people\u2019s emotional damage , with a title that doubles as a plot spoiler as to where the protagonist is headed \u2013 even if the film , by contrast , remains tightly wound . while it\u2019s acted with naturalistic intensity by a committed cast , she\u2019s lost control will be too glacial and distancing for most tastes . but the story of a behavioral psychologist specializing in sexual surrogacy provides insight into intriguing characters for whom professional intimacy supplants personal relationships .\nshe\u2019s lost control raises a lot of genuinely thought - provoking questions , and marquardt\u2019s austere style allows us to draw our own conclusions from what she presents on screen . that makes it even more of a shame that marquardt doesn\u2019t entirely trust her own material and feels the need to puff up her film with relatively artificial conflict that generally comes off as sops to screenwriting conventions . it\u2019s not enough , for instance , that ronah seems emotionally isolated from her family ; marquardt also needs to have her mother disappear , leaving her brother in a perpetually panicked state . and then there\u2019s that washing machine in her apartment , which leads to a payoff in the form of a conveniently timed lawsuit that adds insult to injury for the sake of by - the - book third - act conflict . turns out , it\u2019s not only ronah who eventually loses control of her emotions , but the film itself that loses control of the most interesting and provocative threads of its vision .\nthe sxsw narrative directors eligible for this year\u2019s prize are sarah - violet bliss for fort tilden , kat candler for hellion , leigh janiak for honeymoon , leah meyerhoff for i believe in unicorns , jen mcgowan for kelly & cal , gillian robespierre for obvious child , anja marquardt for she\u2019s lost control , liz tuccillo for take care , and jocelyn towne for we will never have paris .\nthe title does give things away just a little , but the film is subtly unsettling and shot to reflect a rather bleak new york life . it is at heart a rather cold and perhaps inaccessible film , but there is much to admire in marquardt\u2019s control and precision as well as a well sustained lead performance by lead actress brooke bloom . after premiering in berlin the film screened at sxsw .\nmarquardt leaves too much intentional ambiguity for her film to fall victim to predictability .\nefa , the rotterdam film festival and french srf directors guild step up campaign .\nin a world of increasing layers between people , intimacy is perhaps the most elusive ingredient of human interaction . a person can either take the plunge and emotionally connect with their os or , in the case of she\u2019s lost control , psychotherapists can refer patients to sex surrogates . engaging in that line of work , nyc - based ronah puts to use her considerable psych - studies experience , as well as her natural solicitous warmth , to engage in close but professional relationships . until , that is , she meets johnny , and her already fraying control dissolves the thin line between professional and personal intimacy . first - time feature director anja marquardt , however , never loses control , delivering a stylish , deeply unnerving , and profound film on an intangible modern issue .\nat its simplest , she\u2019s lost control is a tale of girl meets boy ( where \u201cboy\u201d is the lead\u2019s latest client , johnny , played by marc menchaca ) , and at its potential worst , just another attempt to probe the line between sex and self though the figure of the sex worker . while some of these tropes remain , marquardt leaves too much intentional ambiguity for her film to fall victim to predictability . beginning with the protagonist speaking directly to the camera ( \u201cyes , you pay me for my time [ \u2026 ] but you can\u2019t control how i feel\u201d ) , marquardt uses this unconventional open to coyly lay out her film\u2019s themes while still , as the unsettling climax proves , playing the final hand close to her chest .\nmarquardt demonstrates a sure hand and deft control over the film ' s icy tone . desaturated cinematography lends to the effect , and the result is a disquieting and chilling rumination on modern sex , love and relationships that leaves the audience with no easy answers .\nwhen sophie calle\u2019s lover dumped her by email , she turned life into art . fisun g\u00fcner on a woman who\nbritish pop singer petula clark talks about some of the lessons she ' s learned from working in show business .\nmaking a first feature -

driven society . ultimately , she ' s lost control is a story about compassion and reaching out to other human beings . i am very excited to be making my first feature film . and i ' m very excited to share it with you . it ' s difficult for me to step out in the open and to ask for funding in this manner , but i feel this is a timely and relevant story . i hope that you will be part of it .\n. . . and the many other expenses so that everyone can do their job ! the list is ( seemingly ) endless ! because our overall production budget is very small and we ' re determined to make she ' s lost control for the least amount possible , please know : every dollar counts . as we ' re moving forward , we ' ll share regular updates with you . and when the film is completed and it ' s time for the official festival premiere , you will be the first to know !\nthe ministry of magic threatened to expel harry , thinking he had done the magic himself .

at one point , a man calls her hateful , and the camera inches down to show us that he\u2019s wearing a priest\u2019s collar . but the way a movie like \u201cthe last word\u201d works , this is all our cue to see that , deep down , harriet is nurturing a heart of gold .\nshe says that the sessions , a film about sexual surrogacy that came out 2012 , actually helped in introducing the concept of surrogate - partner therapy to the world .\nshe stopped and looked back . for a moment harry had the strangest feeling that she wanted to say something to him : she gave him an odd , tremulous look and seemed to teeter on the edge of speech\ncome swim\npremiered in january at the sundance film festival , where stewart was amused by the journalists who attempted to sleuth out which of her famous exes the film was about .\nin its engrossing first act , \u201cshe\u2019s lost control\u201d proceeds with a straightforward depiction of ronah\u2019s process through glimpses of her interactions with various clients as well as her monotonous employer . while he provides the intellectual framework for her endeavors , it\u2019s the physical strategies she applies to each session that initially create the impression of a productive endeavor : as she convinces one man to explore an isolated part of her body , gaze into her eyes for several seconds at a time , or gently coaxes another to remove his shirt , ronah maintains a clinical disposition that gives these initial scenes the aura of a documentary . then she meets johnny ( marc menchaca ) , an anxiety - riddled , alcoholic doctor whose restrained demeanor echoes her own , and things get complicated .\n. that is , if the film maker can raise $ 50 , 000 from fan donations .\n, the film has raised $ 11 , 633 so far . in order to make a contribution\nto marquardt , ronah was the manifestation of the most extreme end of professional intimacy . \u201cof course you could say she\u2019s a sex worker , which she is , but it\u2019s not the same thing as having sex for money because the transaction isn\u2019t the same . \u201d\nnext for stewart is a lizzie borden biopic she shot opposite chloe sevigny as the infamous hatchet woman , and a jt leroy film in which she ' ll play savannah knoop , the woman who posed publicly as the literary sensation later revealed to be a hoax .\nas its title implies , \u201cshe\u2019s lost control\u201d tracks the gradual breakdown of its heroine ( brooke bloom ) , a grad student working as a sexual surrogate in new york . a hundred eighty degrees away from the sentimentality of the similarly themed \u201cthe sessions , \u201d anja marquardt\u2019s debut feature favors cold , clinical compositions , often showing characters from behind ;

to - day activities of ronah ( brooke bloom ) , a young woman who tells anyone who asks what she does that she\u2019s working on her master\u2019s degree in behavioral psychology . which is true , but it gradually becomes clear that she also has some sort of sideline involving therapy , talking exclusively with men . marquardt structures the movie in brief , uninflected snippets of conversation and activity , placing equal emphasis ( or lack thereof ) on everything we see : a scene in which ronah asks a man to swab his mouth and sign a contract is followed by a scene in which she deals with a leak in her shower , or just a shot of her walking briskly down a new york street . gradually , the nature of her profession becomes clear , and she begins to take a special interest in her newest patient , johnny ( marc menchaca ) , who flinches whenever he\u2019s touched , and regards ronah with a daunting mixture of hostility and hope . before long , she\u2019s spying on him at the hospital where he works as an anesthesiologist , and wincing when he shows affection to a female colleague . other aspects of her personal life start spiraling downward as well .\nzachary galler \u2019s camera frequently trails the actors from behind , finding odd framing angles that are both intimate and detached . textured sound , nick carew ' s fluid editing and economic use of simon taufique \u2019s pensive music also contribute to give the small -

the ` remakers ' got too comfortable following the copypaste - foreign - shoot formula , and the audience started looking elsewhere for entertainment .\nthen came a day , not so far in the past , when birsa dasgupta ' s action - thriller , one , hit the theatres . the very fact that the makers didn ' t pay heed to market signals in the excitement of achieving a casting coup of sorts - by getting prosenjit chatterjee to play the baddie - sealed the fate of this remake of the 2015 tamil blockbuster , thani oruvan . despite being sold hard , the film is hardly finding any takers .\nand that ' s nothing surprising for those who study the film market . eastern india motion pictures association ( eimpa ) chairman krishna daga told us that no remake has been a hit in tollywood in the last two years . \u201csouth hits are often aired with subtitles on tv , so there ' s nothing new a remake can offer to the bengali audience . i guess that also applies to one . it was extensively promoted and has a good subject . but it ' s still not working well at the box office , \u201c he said .\nfilm distributor and hall owner arijit dutta agrees . \u201cin the past 3 - 4 years , no remake has worked . the reason , i believe , is the lack of originality . one needs to change dialogues , characters and the overall packaging to suit the local market . take bhooter bhabishyat for example . a fantastic bengali film , but the hindi remake , gang of ghosts , didn ' t work at the box office . audiences are being served too much of the same thing and that ' s what is going against the filmmakers , \u201c dutta said .\nwhatever may lie in their future , we ' ve listed seven mistakes they should have learnt from in the past year . one is slowly proving that they haven ' t .\nreleased : july the telugu film , don seenu , was one of the biggest hits of 2010 . but its bengali remake , badshah the don , was sloppy at best . the script was so bad that even jeet ' s honeyblond locks , nusraat faria ' s flamboyant yet mindless antics and picturesque locales of the uk couldn ' t keep the film afloat at the\nreleased : february the indobangladesh joint venture starring om , nusraat faria and riya sen was a remake of the 2009 telugu movie , maska , which was a high grosser at he box office . but the combined hotness of the bombshells from both sides of the border couldn ' t do the film any good . it barely ran for a week\nreleased : october the film follows prithviraj ( om ) and paro ( subhasree ganguly ) on a whirlwind love - hate relationship where , in the end , they realise their true feelings for each other . prem ki bujhini is a remake of the 2011 hit telegu movie , 100 % love , starring naga chaitanya and tamanna . the original was declared a blockbuster and is said to be the best film of naga chaitanya , quite a star down south . the remake was so inspired that even the trailers looked the same !\nharipada bandwala , which starred nusrat and ankush , was the remake of the 2014 punjabi comedy film , disco singh , which itself was loosely based on the 2009 bollywood film , do knot disturb . and it doesn ' t stop there . do knot disturb was a remake of the 2006 french film , the valet . kill us already , will you ?\nreleased : february milana was the first kannada movie to be remade in two non - hindi languages - bengali and odia . the responsibility , thus , was huge on ravi kinagi . but the only thing new about the bengali remake , ki kore toke bolbo , was the lead pair - mimi and ankush . no wonder the even the fresh pair couldn ' t attract lovebirds to theatres though the film released on valentine ' s day\nreleased : july this srabanti and bangladeshi actor shakib khan - starrer was a remake of the 2009 tamil action - comedy , aadhavan . though the film ran successfully in bangladesh , thanks to shakib ' s immense popularity , it failed to set cash registers rolling in bengal\ncopyright and trade mark notice \u00a9 owned by or licensed to times of india epaper . site best viewed in 1024 * 786 resolution\nabout us | advertise with us | terms of use | privacy policy copyright \u00a9 2010 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . site best viewed in 1024 * 786 resolution\nkannada movie mila . . .\nthis video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by zee entertainment enterprises ltd .\nnew odia romantic song # tu thile . . # asima panda and kumar bapi # sabuja music presents\nodia full movie someth . . .\nthis video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by odisha television limited .\nthe theme music is\ngod speed\nby pistol jazz , licensed under creative commons .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nthe story of an imaginary word that managed to sneak past our editors and enter the dictionary .\ntake this quiz and discover 12 words for things you didn ' t know had words .\nas an exclusive offer to members of the city of knowledge , microsoft opens their doors to \u2018tech talks\u2019 on february 1st and february 2nd .\nhow do dormant cyber pathogens spread ? do hackers really wear hoodies while they hack ? and how hard is to become a genuine , bona fide evil cyber hacker anyway ? these and many more burning cyber security questions will be tackled in a non -

estate dealings where he was virtually never held to account . now , lies upon lies ( more than 1 , 000 in seven months ) have piled up , rendering his utterances automatically suspect , at least for the more than 60 percent of voters who keep telling pollsters he is not honest . his lies now entail adverse political consequences and legal peril , both of which increase by the day .\nthen we are reminded that trump does not think and act like normal humans . he grins and mugs his way through a do - over visit to texas to visit victims of harvey . soon things take a bizarre self - congratulatory tone . \u201cit\u2019s been very nice . it\u2019s been a wonderful thing . as tough as this was , it\u2019s been a wonderful thing , \u201d trump said . \u201ci think even for the country to watch and for the world to watch . it\u2019s been beautiful . \u201d the word he was looking for , perhaps , is \u201cheart - breaking . \u201d\nin the midst of a tragedy \u2014 in which the media behaved in exemplary fashion \u2014 he finds it necessary to denigrate reporters . ( \u201cthink of it , almost 11 , 000 people by going into winds that the media would not go into , \u201d trump said . \u201cthey will not go into those winds , unless it\u2019s a really good story . \u201d ) the language of empathy is foreign to him . his unhinged narcissism deprives him of the ability to convey warmth or genuine emotion . ( he is either furious or gleeful , the former when he feels victimized and the latter when he feels vindicated . ) he remains the most tone - deaf modern president .\nand most worrisome , we see in his reaction to north korea\u2019s possible hydrogen bomb test his inability to maintain for more than one scripted remark a serious , sober tone that inspires confidence among our allies . the post reports :\nin a pair of tweets issued sunday morning , trump wrote : \u201cnorth korea has conducted a major nuclear test . \u2026 north korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to china , which is trying to help but with little success . \u201d\ntrump also delivered an admonishment of sorts to south korea , saying that \u201cappeasement with north korea will not work\u201d and suggesting that more severe steps must be taken to influence kim\u2019s regime .\nin addition to threatening to pull out of a trade deal with south korea ( now of all times ? ) , trump seems unable to show solidarity with friends or avoid feeding the cycle of warnings and threats . his over - the - top public rhetoric does not intimidate kim jong un ; it appears to provoke him . making empty , vague threats only diminishes america\u2019s credibility and leads our allies to fret as to whether he\u2019s so unstable and undisciplined that it will lead to a confrontation that does not stop with angry words .\none is left , still , agog at trump\u2019s dishonesty , narcissism and inability to project the calmness and discipline we expect from a president . those who thought he\u2019d grow in office or who perpetually think he\u2019s \u201cpivoting\u201d or \u201cbecoming presidential\u201d have engaged in dangerous delusion . one wonders how long we can muddle on with a president this unsuitable without provoking a constitutional or international calamity .\na look at the second half , so far , of the president ?

aged man who one night catches the body of a woman while fishing . as he was trying to untangle her from the fishing line , he finds himself becoming more entangled in the process . he faints and wakes up in the outfit the woman was wearing . the film\u2019s viewpoint then switches to that of the woman and the movie becomes a traditional korean tale of life and death .\nnot many films that clock in at 33 minutes generate the press coverage and hype that surrounds night fishing ( paranmanjang ) , a surprisingly polished work shot by oldboy director park chan -

wook , the man behind such acclaimed works as sympathy for mr . vengeance and oldboy , teamed up with his brother chan - kyong in an attempt to create a frightening , fantastical film using only an iphone 4 . the finished product , night fishing , was first screened for a handful of reporters back in january , before going on to win the award for best short film at the berlin international film festival in february . it arrived in america not long after at south by southwest . this past weekend , it made a splash in new york city as part of this year\u2019s creators project film sidebar .\nso here are a few of pictures from our recently wrapped short film \u201cthe fishing club\u201d . this was a passion project for us and was only possible with the help and support of everyone who worked on it . many thanks to the cast and crew who spent late nights making the short film come to life .\n15 . kesey refused to see the film ( but may have by accident ) .\none night only , saturday , february 16 , at 6 : 00 pm . tickets are $ 15 at the door or $ 10 in advance .\ngiven the economics at play , this represents yet another profound step forward , towards a world where amateurs with a minuscule budget can shoot ( and distribute ) like professionals . here is a compilation of night fishing highlights , which spotlights many of the key camera techniques and visual aesthetics i have written about :\na fantasy film , the iphone short\u2019s english title is night fishing . it follows fisherman by a river when he encounters a female shaman and goes from this life to the next . ( its original title is paranmanjang , which translates roughly to \u201ccheckered\u201d as in \u201ca checkered past\u201d . ) the film stars actor oh kwang - rok , who played one of the avenging parents in park chan - wook\u2019s sympathy for lady vengeance , and lee jung hyun , an actress and pop singer .\nabout 300 curious onlookers packed into brooklyn\u2019s powerhouse arena bookstore to watch night fishing . and from the first sequence , it becomes clear that the parks viewed this project as the chance to push the iphone camera to its limits . a finished portion of the film is already up on youtube ( though there appears to be a slight decline in resolution , versus what i saw projected in brooklyn ) :\nthe behind - the - scenes for night fishing is fascinating even if i can\u2019t understand a word spoken ( it\u2019s in korean without subtitles ) . we get glimpses of the actual filming locations of the movie , the intricate storyboard , and all the different lenses used on the iphone 4 during filming . it\u2019s mind - bending how much preparation goes into making a short film with a small camera .\nparanmanjang , which means\na life full of ups and downs\nin korean , is about a man transcending his current and former lives . he catches a woman while fishing in a river in the middle of the night . they both end up entangled in the line and he thinks she is dead .\nfishing naked is a film about four young adults being bad in the woods . they pull bigfoot hoaxes , scare tourists , disrespect their elders , hook up and smoke dope . it is told from the small . . . see full summary \u00bb\nonce a thriving fishing cove , the beautiful porthgwarra sits at the heart of st aubyn estates and boasts a peaceful existence with its days surrounded by wildflowers and birdlife .\nsummary : take the fact that night fishing was made using the iphone4 and completely set it aside , for even if you took all the best elements from park chan - wook ' s previous films , wrapped them up within a gripping narrative and added the beyond exemplary cast performances seen here , you still wouldn ' t come even close to creating a film as astounding as this , regardless of what technology was used .\neven though it was filmed using the iphone , night fishing has the same image resolution as any other feature films shot with standard industry cameras . park chan - wook , a hitchcock devotee , originally approached this film with a for fun attitude . \u201cnew technology always offers wonders and useful features . testing them is part of the amusement , \u201d he said . but then he discovered how exciting the ride turned out to be .\nnight fishing takes an unexpected turn from that horror film set - up into ghostly spirituality , as park and brother / co - director park chan - kyong explore korean death rituals and employ actress lee jung hyun in a dual performance as both the ghostly corpse and a living shaman tasked with contacting the world of the dead . lee , a pop idol in asia , mesmerizes in the role , embodying multiple souls in quick succession .\nthe film strikes a more sober and difficult tone than many of park\u2019s genre - influenced films .\nthe short running time will obviously limit the work\u2019s distribution options , nonetheless finecut will be angling for interested buyers at the upcoming efm . the film will also screen in berlin\u2019s short film competition .\na haunting ghost story from the director of stoker and oldboy . a man gets tangled in his fishing line and an eerie mystery when he catches more than he bargained for .\nbe sure to ask for request the special fly fishing show\u00ae rates ! for special rates rooms must be booked by december 19 , 2018 , or before the hotel sells out .\nnight fishing ( the literal translation of the korean title being \u201cups and downs\u201d ) begins with a fairly off - the - wall ( complete ) music track by contemporary korean band ' uhuhboo project ' , and while the predominant featuring of what is essentially a music video may , at first glance , seem somewhat out of place in a cinematic narrative work , its appearance instantly allows an early referencing of the idea that events and situations in night fishing ( including the film itself ) are often far from what they initially appear to be - subsequently also shown to be the case in the appearance of the seemingly dead body ; the music that we assume is simply the radio playing random songs ; as well as in gi - suk ' s place in the overall scheme of things ; and even in the reality behind his fishing by the lake . not only that , but this avant - garde musical piece ( when considered alongside the music of a shamanic ritual that takes place in the latter stages of the film ) also serves as a contrast between contemporary and traditional korea as a whole , just as the ritual itself bridges the gap between the old and the new , the living and the dead , and though it isn ' t apparent until much later in proceedings , the relevance of the lyrics of both the major musical elements in night fishing having references to love , life and death bring those worlds ever closer from the very outset of the film - long before we are consciously aware that that is the case .\nfans of park chan - wook probably remember that the master korean filmmaker shot a short film entirely on an iphone 4 a few years back ( that is , two iphones ago ) . the short , \u201c night fishing \u201d aka \u201c paramanjang , \u201d was made with some help from his brother , park chan - kyong and was released theatrically in south korea back in january of 2011 , hitting the festival circuit shortly after . for those who haven\u2019t had a chance to catch the film can rejoice as the short is available on youtube in its entirety .\nsouth korean film - maker park chan - wook is wielding a new cinematic tool : the iphone .\nthe camera floats ethereally through the world of night fishing like a disembodied specter , the picture alternately grainy and clear , with a compactness and freedom you can feel . close - ups on oh ' s face are captured with stunning clarity so clear and sharp that it ' s difficult to imagine park and his crew were merely using an iphone to capture the scene .\nwhen harmony korine ' s short film umshini wam screened alongside the latest from korean filmmaker park chan - wook ( oldboy , sympathy for mr . vengeance , thirst ) at sxsw , both efforts had an unproven element to unveil . for korine , the wild cards were his stars , the south african hip - hop act die antwoord . but for park , it was something even more groundbreaking : he filmed the mystical , spiritual ghost story night fishing entirely using the iphone 4 .\nin typical daylight fishing , anglers are accustomed to seeing what they\u2019re doing and watching the line or the lure , but this is seldom possible at night . you can use black lights that make it easy to watch fluorescent lines , but although this was a popular monofilament line several decades ago , few anglers use this type of line , today . for the most part , intuition and a feel for your tackle become more important at night than during the day . this makes it advantageous to use a sensitive rod and line , and to forgo using ultralight tackle .\nby now , you\u2019ve probably heard all the buzz about the first feature film made entirely on an iphone 4 .\nof course , it did cost $ 130 , 000 , much of which park credited to paying his crew of 80 and buying food . any old smartphone video won ' t look this good without proper cinematography , lighting , and a mind for tweaking the in - phone camera for optimal use . but night fishing proves that it can be done , and well . could 3d iphone filmmaking be next ?\nsmartphone technologies are increasingly playing a major part in film production , distribution and reception . this month sees the launch of what is being billed as the \u201c world\u2019s first selfie movie \u201d . and next a series is to air on instagram . last year , tangerine became the first film shot on an iphone to feature at the sundance film festival .\nis a weekend program devoted to women - centered discussions , presentations , learning opportunities and networking . the showcase is free with your entry to the fly fishing show and will feature a diverse schedule of presentations .\nwe will be shooting from may 30th \u2013 june 4 at various locations throughout oahu . the fishing club will be directed by david rosen with dana hankins and claire tong as executive producers and darrin kaneshiro as producer\npark ' s story jumps around with little warning and explanation , leaving the viewer to piece together what ' s happening on their own . for a few sxswers in attendance that was asking too much , but those with patience and the fortitude to follow the events onscreen , night fishing can be a transcendent experience - - even more so if you ' re also conscious of how park is using his camera .\nthe second stop , rodanthe pier , was the scene of the party the villagers threw themselves after the storm passed . the scene was shot with about 400 extras and most of the principal cast . the wind speed on the night of the filming was between 25 and 30 miles per hour , and filming lasted until 4 a . m . it was a night that won\u2019t soon be forgotten by locals .\nfilmed with an appropriately cold naturalism , night fishing ( paranmanjang ) is evidence that cell phone movies can transcend their gimmicky trappings . the 33 - minute narrative short , shot entirely on the iphone 4 and financed by korean iphone provider kt for $ 130k , is a hauntingly evocative tale alighting on a fisherman ( oh kwang - rok ) who treks deep into the wilderness for a weekend trip , unaware of a coming storm . he catches a woman ' s drowned body in and , in a comically tense sequence of events , panics and becomes entangled in fishing line with the corpse . and then things get really strange .\na criminally underrated gem of \u201970s cinema , night moves stars gene hackman as a retired football player - turned - private investigator who is hired by an aging starlet to track down her wayward daughter . naturally , this seemingly simple assignment leads our hero down a convoluted path littered with illicit relationships and rampant corruption . released a year after francis ford coppola\u2019s much celebrated the conversation , night moves very much serves as that film\u2019s spiritual sibling\u2014a complex , somewhat opaque treatise on american cynicism in a post - watergate world . \u2014 m . r .\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 ,\nnight fishing centres around a fisherman ( park regular oh gwang - rok ) who reels in a fish that transforms into a young woman once touching land ( actor / pop star lee jung - hyun , in a great performance ) . she begins talking to him of his long - lost daughter , and it only gradually becomes apparent that she is a shaman acting as a medium between the land of the living and the dead .\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 -

grade cinematic experience . in fact , we cannot be far away from the first full - length iphone studio feature .\ncast : oh kwang - rok ( as gi - suk ) gives an accomplished and note - worthy performance in night fishing , easily equalling those of his previous films , but lee jeong - hyeon ' s portrayal of the seemingly dead girl / shaman is so utterly astonishing that she , time and again , puts him firmly in the shade . both an actress and a korean pop singer ( better known for the latter ) , lee jeong - hyeon ' s casting in night fishing simply couldn ' t be bettered - single - handedly raising the level of proceedings at every single turn . she ( seemingly almost effortlessly ) owns every frame of every scene in which she appears , regularly succeeding in utterly changing the overall feeling of proceedings with just a glance , a move of her head or a sung musical note . all of the above comes even before i even properly mention her utterly haunting vocals during the shamanic ritual itself - in short , her singing and accompanying acting performance simply cannot fail to stay with viewers long after the film credits roll . i could use any and every superlative i could possibly think of ( and virtually already have ) to try to convey just how jaw - droppingly mesmerizing she is to watch in night fishing , but in doing so i still wouldn ' t have gone anywhere near far enough , and , at the end of the day , the only way to truly appreciate what she brings to the film is to see her performance for yourself . incredible ! the rest of the main cast play largely supporting roles , but each performs admirably throughout .\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 .\nobviously , your vision is better on nights with moonlight than it is on dark or overcast nights , although there is some debate over whether bright nights are better for fishing than dark nights . keeping the use of external - source lights to a minimum is a good idea for some types of fishing , though it is unnecessary for others . it is also well known that locations prone to receiving light ( docks , piers , bridges , etc . ) may attract small fish and thus larger predators , although this is more likely the case in saltwater than in freshwater . even if you have great intuition and a natural feel for your tackle , a small headlamp is a proper accessory for night fishing , since it frees both hands and issues only a small amount of light . better ones are those with red and / or green color options , which are not as alarming to fish if you happen to turn toward the water .\nkorean auteur park chan - wook has co - directed a 30 - minute film with his brother park chan - kyong which korea telecom ( kt ) says will be the first short film in the world shot entirely on apple\u2019s iphone 4 to be screened in theatres .\nin both quality of filmmaking and cynicism of spirit . this film not only announced hanson as a filmmaker well beyond his previous work (\nwe all know the iphone single - handedly changed the way people shoot photos , but surprisingly , it\u2019s also beginning to impact the world of professional filmmaking . apple\u2019s flagship smartphone recently made headlines at the 2015 sundance film festival for the critically praised feature -

( 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\u201cfrom hunting for a film location , shooting auditions , to doing a documentary on the filming process , everything was shot with the iphone 4 , \u201d said mr . park . \u201cwe went through all the same film - making processes except that the camera was small . \u201d\nthe short is a whimsical tale of life and death , about a man who goes fishing into the night and winds up catching the body of a woman with his hook , entangling himself with her in the process and she comes alive . the film then abruptly changes to a funeral ritual where the woman is a shaman priestess , and the fisherman speaks through her to his relatives , asking for forgiveness . it\u2019s all delightfully weird stuff and , all things considered , the iphone experiment worked out fairly well , adding a demented look to an already strange and moving tale . what do you think ? check it out below .

wook , the man behind the south korean iteration of oldboy , this 33 - minute film featured a \u201cbig\u201d budget of $ 130 , 000 despite utilizing an iphone 4 for filming purposes . however , it should also go without saying a hefty chunk of the budget went into working some post - production magic , which allowed the filmmakers to drastically spruce up the film\u2019s visual qualities . the fantasy - horror flick features k - pop star lee jung - hyun as a man who encounters more than just sturgeon during what\u2019s intended to be a mellow fishing trip .\none thing to look for in the fishing scene : a very subtle anjelica huston cameo . huston , who was dating nicholson during production , has a nonspeaking role as one of the spectators on the dock as mcmurphy and his fellow patients steer the stolen boat back to shore .\npark , director of oldboy , lady vengeance and thirst , said his new fantasy - horror film paranmanjang was shot entirely on apple ' s ubiquitous smartphone .\nalthough you might be tempted to organize a last - minute fishing trip to an unknown destination , don ' t . instead , take the time to familiarize yourself with the place that you\u2019re fishing while it ' s still daylight . make a note of the obstacles that might get in your way , maybe even sketch out a map . it ' s much easier to fish a place that you know well than one that is unfamiliar to you . when casting , it\u2019s also best to slow down and work an area well rather than try to hustle all over .\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 -

kyong . the younger park is a visual artist whose anyang , paradise city has been selected to the upcoming rotterdam film festival\u2019s bright future section for first - and second - time directors .\nkt plans to release the film jan 27 on about 10 screens in south korea . tickets will be made available in a kt lottery draw . the leading south korean telecommunications company put up $ 133 , 000 ( kw150m ) for the film , which was shot entirely with the iphone 4 using extra lenses and otherwise regular filmmaking equipment .\nas seen during the creators project screening , the one major drawback to the iphone shoot appears to be a slight degradation in image quality . that is to be expected , and there are indeed a couple of issues to be found with depth of vision , and crispness of image . but here\u2019s the caveat to that observation : with something like night fishing , where stylized framing and points of view are par for the type of surreal story being told , i stopped noticing the blurred edges almost immediately . i was far more captivated by the editing rhythm , the camera movements and the supernatural juxtapositions .\nnot since 1934 ' s it happened one night swept the oscars had a film walked away with awards for best picture , best director , best actor , best actress , and best screenplay . one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest took home the lot , with nicholson and fletcher winning the top acting awards . the feat would not be matched again for another 16 years , with silence of the lambs becoming the next ( and last to date ) movie to earn the distinction .\nthe director is park chan - wook , one of south korea\u2019s most commercially successful young filmmakers . a few of his well - known movies are sympathy for mr . vengeance , oldboy ( which won the grand prix award at the 2004 cannes film festival ) , and thirst ( which won the jury prize at the 2009 cannes film festival ) .\nthe film begins on 5 september 2006 near the kajaki dam in helmand province . one of the men of 3 para is addressing two afghan boys who have just nearly killed him while indulging in the adorable childhood pastime of grenade - fishing . \u201ci\u2019m here trying to bring peace and love to your fucking stone - age country , \u201d he explains . \u201cdon\u2019t pick a fight with an armed midget , \u201d his buddy warns him . the unspoken question behind the film is set up : what are british soldiers doing in afghanistan , anyway ? some critics have felt this film lacks engagement with the local population or the wider scope of the war , but surely that\u2019s exactly the point : these soldiers are just ordinary blokes ( they\u2019re all blokes ) , a long way from home , doing an incredibly dangerous job without much sense of why .\nfly fishers international ( ffi ) hosts the fly fishing show learning center with fly tying , casting instruction and other fly fishing information and is free to show attendees . fly tying focuses on young attendees , but all ages are welcome . tying sessions begin every 30 minutes during periods of high demand ; \u201cwhen you get there\u201d during periods of lighter attendance . there are usually three casting classes per day taught by ffi certified casting instructors , 11am , 1 and 3pm . sign - up for each casting class at the ffi booth . these classes are limited to 10 students and are about 1 hour long . fly rods provided .\nthe launch of the ipad in april 2010 opened up further possibilities for cinematic - style storytelling . the silver goat ( 2012 ) was the first feature film to be created exclusively for the ipad , the first to be released as an app in the uk and several other countries , and the first in the world to have an ipad - only premiere . this took place on a london route master bus which traversed many of the film\u2019s locations throughout the city while the audience members watched the film on their individual ipads .\nplays with noir tropes more than he plays to them , deflating film noir\u2019s inherent machismo by revealing the chief heavies of his cast as scrabbling cowards . depending on your mood ,\nwhen producers were shopping the picture to studios , 20th century fox was interested , but with a catch . fox would distribute the film , but only if the filmmakers would agree to rewrite the ending ; the studio wanted mcmurphy to live . producers saul zaentz and michael douglas wisely considered this a deal breaker , and united artists eventually distributed the film .\nprior to reinventing filmic language with their playful genre experiments , the members of france\u2019s new wave movement got their start as film critics . in fact , it was through their writings and discussions that the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d was first christened as a means of describing a certain breed of brooding postwar films . it\u2019s not surprising then that louis malle\u2014though not an official new wave member\u2014would settle on a film noir - influenced project as his first feature film . acting both as an homage to noir as well as a subversion of its structure , elevator to the gallows stars jeanne moreau and maurice ronet as a pair of criminals whose plan to kill moreau\u2019s husband quickly falls apart when the ronet character gets stuck in an elevator . this already absurd concept becomes all the more confounding when paired with the film\u2019s unorthodox , experimental editing and somber , miles davis - performed jazz score . \u2014 m . r .\nshocked , the man trips up on his fishing rods , and gets tangled together with the woman by the fishing lines . he struggles to untangle himself free , but the more he tries , the more he gets tangled . suddenly , the woman ' s arm wraps around the man ' s neck . the man screams and faints . later , the woman , now wearing the man ' s clothes , wakes up the man , who is now wearing her white funeral dress . the man completely confused . to make matters worse , the woman starts to cry in a little girl ' s voice , calling him\ndaddy\n. . .\nlee sits up in the guest bedroom , thinking . we flashback to six years earlier , when patrick , joe , and lee returned home to find elsie passed out on the couch after drinking all night \u0096 with no pants or underwear on . lee has to usher the 8 - year - old patrick upstairs .\nnicholas ray\u2019s first picture boasts perhaps the dumbest wronged protagonist in film noir\u2019s history . what kind of nitwit plots to clear his name in a wrongful conviction by committing a crime ? sure , fine , maybe knocking over a bank is less heinous than killing a man , but farley granger\u2019s doomed hero , bowie , doesn\u2019t really connect the dots and realize that robbery is still a jailable offense . the intellectual merits of bowie\u2019s bright idea are irrelevant , though : they live by night cares deeply about the inescapable grasp of the law and the people who wind up caught in it . some of them are genuinely scummy people , like bowie\u2019s fellow fugitives , one - eye and t - dub . some of them are victims of the system , who lack the means to prove their uprightness . they live by night is a superlative example of an atypical noir domain\u2014the film takes place largely on the road instead of in the city\u2014but most of all , it\u2019s a heartbreaking stunner about the decay of human innocence . \u2014 a . c .\nis the coolest melville film of them all ; odds are , it\u2019ll land upright , because that\u2019s an impossible distinction to make . melville films pulse with ineffable cool . in the case of\nas with all filmmaking cameras , using just the iphone by itself wasn\u2019t quite enough to create a complete film . rather , the crew relied on extra equipment to beef up the film quality , including a prototype anamorphic lens adapter from moondog labs , the filmic pro video app , and a steadicam . the film crew also received a healthy dose of help on the audio front , utilizing an sd 664 production mixer , boom mics , and even a lavalier during the filmmaking process . baker specifically pointed to the anamorphic lens as the essential part of tangerine\u2019s production , though . \u201cto tell you the truth , i wouldn\u2019t have even made the movie without it , \u201d baker told the verge , further emphasizing how it \u201celevated\u201d the film to a more \u201ccinematic level . \u201d\nrage ( 2009 ) was the first feature film to be designed for mobile phone viewing , and one which embedded the mobile phone symbiotically into the processes of production , distribution and consumption . although the film itself was shot using a conventional video camera held by the director , it clearly considers the mobile phone in its creation : each of the protagonists addresses a fictional camera operator who is filming each of their private exchanges using his mobile phone . rage was distributed simultaneously as a theatrical release and as a downloadable film via babelgum ( for free ) to be watched on a mobile phone .\nthere remains no incontrovertible proof of kabuo\u2019s innocence until ishmael chambers stumbles across a logbook from a local lighthouse on the evening of the second day of the trial . the logbook , kept by a radioman\u2019s assistant who is no longer stationed on san piedro , records that a large freighter got lost in dense fog off the island on the night of september\nfarther down highway 12 , enjoy a dinner at captain\u2019s table or diamond shoals restaurants located in the heart of buxton village , and as you decide where to stay for the night , check around with locals to see if the band coyote is playing music anywhere nearby . they appeared in nights in rodanthe and regularly perform on hatteras and ocracoke islands .\nuh had a great game last night beating colorado in their season opener . our new spot for straub debuted in the game . the spot is about scott harding , uh\u2019s all - american punter from last year . scott is an amazing talent . he not only punted , but he was also their punt returner and one of their leading receivers .\nnow we flashback to seven years earlier , like in the first scene of the film . lee is on the boat with an 8 - year - old patrick . he teases him about a shark that is going to eat him but patrick is unfazed , a tough massachusetts kid . he gets a bite on his fishing pole and begins to reel it in . we cut to the present . lee rushes up to manchester to inform patrick about his father . he drives through the town and has a flashback \u0096 of seven years earlier , returning home to his wife , randi ( michelle williams ) who is sick in bed . he says hello to his seven - year - old daughter , playfully teases his five - year - old daughter , and picks up his eight - month - old son . he then kisses randi despite her being bedridden . he tells her about his day , fishing with patrick .\nthen there\u2019s the film app ( 2013 ) , for which audiences were required to download the accompanying app \u2013 iris - prior to entering the cinema and then encouraged to interact with it in the auditorium . a horror film in which an app takes over the main protagonists ( and the audiences phones ) \u2013 alludes to the consequences of our new reliance on smartphone devices and its subversion of our privacy .\n, alex proyas\u2019 1998 magnum opus serves up a cerebral sci - fi extravaganza as filtered through the visual tropes of film noir and german expressionism . the result is a staggering achievement in imagination that , like\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 .\nhollywood is really out of ideas which is proven by this movie . gone fishin is a classic 90s movie how could they remake it with dwayne johnson ! first dwayne remakes jumanji , another classic 90s movie , and now he remakes gone fishin ! ? if you haven ' t seen the original gone fishing do yourself a favour and watch it , not this remake trash !\nis a masterpiece . funny to think that american critics looked down their noses at the film at the time of its release . maybe they took offense at the inescapable scent of welles\u2019 passion for rita hayworth , his wife at the time and his ex shortly after production wrapped . he captures her in close - up with a hungry , enraptured eye , the most coherent image in a film that\u2019s built on logical incoherence ."]}

so welcome one from\u2026\nmy anticipation of this film is either based on my changing tastes or ever - lowering standards , depending on your interpretation . see , i never really cared for the old women in prison ( or wip ) films . they all had pretty much identical plots - good girl is either wrongfully sentenced to prison or consciously infiltrates prison to expose injustice . once there , she is victimized by the guards and inmates alike . there was no real pressure to juggle the plot at all . it pretty much served to show some extended shower scenes and some sapphic action , both of which i like , not to mention rape and torture , which i don ' t . sure , there are some guilty pleasures in the bunch , and most of them were released by roger corman ' s new world pictures in the 1970s . the linda blair flicks\na fine collection of cinema ' s underbelly , from trashy horror and grindhouse pictures to creature features , nudie cuties , sexploitation . . . and a few\u2026\ni was told that this film was not porn but a light r rating or whatever so i did buy a copy so i could watch it for myself .\ntoby\u2019s television work includes lone star , temple grandin , friday night lights , kings of the evening , comanche moon , prison break , serving sara , a face to kill for , walker , texas ranger , two mothers for zachary , dead man\u2019s walk . toby can also be seen in the films : eye of god , painted hero , space marines , and pure country .\nrhonda shear does a fine job in the role of jackpot , and she serves as one of the producers as well . shear had a cult favorite cable show in the early 1990s ,\nyou know , i don\u2019t know how the hell films like this get made , and released . i mean , wow ! what the hell did i just watch . i really thought it took no talent to make a bad film , but to make a film like this takes talent . the writers of this film have one hell of a warped sense of humor . i honestly don\u2019t know what to say , it\u2019s not that i was bored watching this film it\u2019s just that i was in shock by what i was watching . i mean i seriously thought i was going to watch a straight up soft -

the world is not as welcoming of exploitation cinema . and the simple reason why is that the mainstream is far more sadistic than most of what we saw before . sex and violence , even graphic sex and violence has infiltrated just about every facet of television . and it ' s all in such a more money -

georges clouzot\u2019s film , le corbeau ( 1943 ) \u2014which another reviewer has called a \u201cdistant cousin\u201d to the white ribbon \u2014and which makes me think of shirley jackson yet again ; this time , her short story , the possibility of evil ( 1965 ) . i categorized the white ribbon as a \u201cpoison - in - the - well\u201d piece . others may or may not find this categorization convincing , but there can be no debate that le corbeau is a poison - in - the - pen piece .\nle corbeau is the story of a town sent into a state of turmoil and soon trapped in a web of deceit and lies by character assassination . corbeau means one who writes poison pen letters or crow . technically raven is grand corbeau ( big crow ) , but the film always translates le corbeau as the raven so we ' ll run with it . one reason the writing by chavance ' s and clouzot ( clouzot came up as a screenwriter and reworked all the scripts that weren ' t his own ) works so well is that it only starts out attacking the different person , the new physician in town dr . remy germain ( pierre fresnay ) . remy is also an easy target for the raven ' s letters because he is wealthier than perhaps anyone in town , and he ' s somewhat effete , detached , supercilious , and possibly surreptitious . the raven ' s letters expose germain as a lecher and abortionist who has blamed marie corbin ( helena manson ) for stealing morphine that he himself took , and makes a practice of screwing his patients .\nle corbeau has been both attacked as anti - french propaganda and praised as the authentic voice of french cinema , but what is certainly true is that it captured the foul dog - eat - dog french wartime mood of denunciation that swept the country . unsurprisingly , it is hardly one of clouzot ' s most popular films , particularly in france , where patriots have condemned it bitterly .\nthe dictation , supervised by vorzet , although inconclusive , has thrown some suspicion on denise . shortly after , germain catches her writing him a corbeau letter to announce that she bears his child , and immediately accuses her of having written the others . but in the film ' s most moving scene ( and its only use of close - ups ) , denise tells germain to look into her tearful eyes to witness the truth that she is not le corbeau . germain cannot refuse the truth ; he and denise decide to keep their child - and we assume they will marry and leave st . - robin together .\ncertainly the sourest film about the french during the second world war was made during it - and by a frenchman , henri - georges clouzot , who was employed by a nazi production company . le corbeau ( 1943 ) depictes a small town torn apart by poison - pen letters . in this town , a purported microcosm for france under occupation , everybody has a shameful secret - and a motive for denouncing their neighbours .\nif you ' re looking for a reason to believe the worst about our species , clouzot is the director to watch . his bleak worldview and paranoid claustrophobic atmosphere were influential on the american film noirs that would become low budget staples a few years after le corbeau was released . hitchcock ' s films were lighter and more playful than clouzot ' s to the point where hitch can be seen as a cheerful cherub in comparison .\nwe have stayed at le corbeau before and chose to return for our overnight stop on the way to the alps . the proprietress is a lovely charming lady who was so helpful to me as i had inadvertently booked the wrong date ! apart from that , the hotel is an old building which is being tastefully refurbished and the food is just wonderful . everything is spotlessly clean and i have no hesitation in recommending this hotel .\n\u201cwe have stayed at le corbeau before and chose to return for our overnight stop on the way to the alps . the proprietress is a lovely charming lady who was so helpful to me as i had inadvertently booked the wrong date ! apart from that , the hotel is an old building which is being tastefully refurbished and the food is just wonderful . everything is spotlessly clean and i have no hesitation in recommending this hotel . \u201d\n\ub207 we have stayed at le corbeau before and chose to return for our overnight stop on the way to the alps . the proprietress is a lovely charming lady who was so helpful to me as i had inadvertently booked the wrong date ! apart from that , the hotel is an old building which is being tastefully refurbished and the food is just wonderful . everything is spotlessly clean and i have no hesitation in recommending this hotel .\neven today , those who praise le corbeau as clouzot ' s masterpiece speak of its darkness and cynicism , its jaundiced denial of moral certainty . yet my impression is quite different . i see it as a film about trust and love , on the one hand , and the harsh but real necessity of moral judgment on the other . no film more forcefully denounces mob persecution and scapegoating , not to speak of the notorious occupation practice of informing on one ' s neighbors through anonymous letters . although anything but a political propaganda piece , le corbeau is an affirmation of humanistic values antithetical to those of the german occupiers and their vichy collaborators . and in its affirmation of these values , it accepts the necessity , obvious in wartime but rarely faced so honestly , of violent extralegal means , means whose obvious interpretation in 1943 - yet no one to my knowledge has ever suggested it - is as an apology for violent acts of resistance .\nbut le corbeau ain\u2019t just any old film . this taut , tightly wound 91 - minute feature is a despairing and morally complex look at the things that damaged people living in a dangerous time will do . that it is a thinly - veiled examination of the many difficulties of living in vichy france is the common wisdom today , though that allegorical aspect of the film seems to have initially slipped past the folks at continental - film who okayed the movie and the censors who allowed its release . so there\u2019s some interesting meta - criticism going on w / r / t the film in that folks wonder about the morality of taking money from the nazis while making a final product that is essentially anti - nazi . \u2019tis a real head scratcher , that one . but in the end , for any film of this sort to succeed , it must work at both literal and allegorical levels , and le corbeau most certainly does that .\ni think that my review proves yours . the conditions under which it was made and the circumstance in which it was originally screened\u2014this is indeed the key to fully appreciating le corbeau . while i continue to feel that the film is not endogenously profound , the exogenous factors you observe have taken my sorry ass to school with respect to the clandestine communications it portrays . i absorbed from the film a general philosophic\u2014and therefore , not especially deep\u2014investigation about people in general passing information and disinformation .\nboth the left ( resistance ) and the right ( vichy ) agreed in finding le corbeau demoralizing and\nanti - french\n: unfounded rumors were spread that the film was shown throughout germany as a demonstration of the decadence of french society . on the contrary , the germans understandably disliked the film for its theme of anonymous letters ; ironically , it was only because it was produced by a german company that it ever got past the censors . as a result , despite its immediate box - office success , le corbeau was pulled from the movie theaters only three weeks after its release ; it has led a checkered career ever since . despite its masterful direction and acting , its powerful characterizations , and the extraordinary density of its social commentary , le corbeau has never achieved the revered status of such films as renoir ' s la grande illusion or carn\u00e9 ' s les enfants du paradis . nor has clouzot ever received his due as the creator of some of the most distinctive and powerful films ever made . the filmmakers and theoreticians of the nouvelle vague treated renoir and cocteau with reverence and carn\u00e9 with respect , and reserved a special admiration for alfred hitchcock , the subject of a book - length study by eric rohmer , longtime editor - in - chief of cahiers du cin\u00e9ma ; clouzot , although sometimes ( in my opinion , mistakenly ) called the\nfrench hitchcock\nfor his suspense films , was considered at best a skillful hack . the eclipse of his reputation is due in large measure to the enormous influence of the nouvelle vague / cahiers du cinema on the french intelligentsia .\ndenise ( ginette leclerc ) , the supposedly obvious \u201cfemme fatale\u201d of le corbeau , condemns the film\u2019s supposed hero , dr germain , in the following terms : \u201cyou may be right doctor . but i feel sorry for you . you are what is saddest and strangest\u2026 a bourgeois . \u201d later influenced by another poison pen letter , germain fears that he may be the father of a \u201cdegenerate child\u201d . but a close - up of denise not only undermines his contamination by nazi - vichy racial values but also his misreading of a supposed \u201cslut\u201d .\nhenri georges - clouzot ' s le corbeau is a masterwork of suspense . it toys and twists the audience ' s perception until we are unsure of which way is right . what clouzot does best , however , is taking the viewer ' s expectations and throwing them straight out the window . the traditional tropes and narratives are tossed aside in exchange for a fresher , more intuitive process . the film presents certain evidences as fact , and then proceeds to fly in your face , taking us on an unexpected roller coaster of deception and intrigue .\nan important secondary element in le corbeau is the pervasive undercurrent of sexual tension , visible in laura ' s frustration with her aging husband , marie corbin ' s spinsterish bitterness , denise ' s promiscuity , and most interestingly of all , in the sexual awakening of pubescent fourteen - year - old rolande , denise ' s niece , whom one of the letters accuses germain of seeking to make his mistress . in the pivotal scene with the swinging lamp , vorzet even claims that germain would sleep with rolande if she seduced him . but if this suggestion of sexual disorder reflects the paranoid world of the corbeau , in rolande ' s last appearance on screen we see her smiling as she uses her nascent feminine wisdom to reassure denise that germain will not leave town without her . in the same way as human truth and justice put an end to the social crisis fomented by the letters , the lovers ' mature relationship takes over the sexual terrain from rolande ' s adolescent longings , as well as from denise ' s aimless licentiousness and from laura ' s illicit desire for germain that created the corbeau in the first place .\nthis absence of technique is also the reason his films like le corbeau and les diaboliques succeed so well as mysteries . the problem with so many mysteries is they work under the misconception that the entire purpose of the film is solving the puzzle . this seems to result in the plot becoming nothing more than a series of clues and red herrings , the score becoming a fire alarm to alert us that one of the aforementioned is about to happen , and in the worst entries some pretentious technique being employed that gives away the answer once we pick up on the trick . these all lead to the intelligent viewer being able to solve the mystery , and the end simply reassuring them of their brilliance . while the focus of two doctors in le corbeau becomes getting to the bottom of the mystery , the focus of the viewer is more toward why the town as a whole has eaten this all up and become so out of control . that clouzot is not overly concerned with the outcome greatly enhances the impact of his highly detailed character study , illustrating that anyone could be behind the poison pen letters because the entire population is rotten .\nnot to take this too seriously though . le corbeau may be far from trite , but it is just as far from profound . the cynicism coming off of the thing is mostly for show . it\u2019s an exercise in style that draws heavily on american noir . there is some wonderful cinematography that achieves this feeling within a provincial french town , which is cool in its own right . one that especially stood out for me is the nurse / nun wearing a flowing black habit and veil , running away from vigilantes in broad daylight against white - washed walls of old stone . \u201cthe raven\u201d indeed .\nthe film\u2019s visual style and characterisation are crucial towards understanding that ambiguity may not be a convenient cloak behind which director and screenwriter chose to hide but essential to depicting the complex nature of existence within an occupied country and how this may affect its inhabitants . ehrlich notes that despite the fact that le corbeau was the most controversial film of this time its style resembled the dominant contemporary trend : \u201cthe film\u2019s atmosphere , its sense of self - enclosure and isolation from the world are typical of the \u2018isolationist\u2019 tendency of the french school . \u201d ( 9 ) yet , this enclosure may be part of the film\u2019s critical interrogation .\nmeanwhile , the film satisfies another noir requirement : a dark sense of humor delivered by way of hard - boiled dialogue . for all the suspense and unwholesome interactions , i found myself laughing along the way , and i do believe le corbeau should be appreciated as a form of satire . to call it a \u201cdistant cousin\u201d to haneke\u2019s the white ribbon , well , the distance is very , very great , my own middle - man references to shirley jackson notwithstanding . i\u2019ll not pursue this further except to say that haneke appears to have adopted kubrick\u2019s title as the intellectual ice man of cinema\u2026minus the sense of humor .\na particularly unsparing look at humanity and our ability to turn on each other , le corbeau has been dirtied by history from the day it exited the womb . made by the german funded continental films , henri - georges clouzot was banned from making films until 1947 ( lifted from its initial lifelong stamp ) . it was seen as anti - french at the time it was made , it is now seen in a more anti - nazi light and more broadly an anti - people light . the misanthropy is locked and loaded even though room is made for people to find each other and for the guilty to go punished .\ncontext is key to fully appreciate the greatness of henri - georges clouzot\u2019s le corbeau . shot in the first year of the nazi occupation under the watchful eye of german - controlled vichy france , and by logical extension , the film industry , through continental - films ( who understood the value of movies as propaganda better than they ? ) , clouzot\u2019s film had to walk quite a tightrope in order to escape the censors\u2019 scissors . not only that , it had to withstand the attacks of french patriots who viewed clouzot\u2019s willingness to work with the german controlled film institute as proof that he was in the first rank of collaborators : a man who had sold his soul to the devil just so he could continue to make movies .\nfinally , it comes out that the first letter was written by laura herself in an effort to seduce germain ; the others , she claims , were dictated to her by her husband . insisting that laura is insane , vorzet gets germain to sign internment papers , and laura is carted off to a mental hospital in another scene reminiscent of a gestapo abduction . but when germain , on denise ' s suggestion , returns to vorzet ' s house to discover the truth , he finds vorzet dead at his desk , bleeding onto a final , unfinished corbeau letter ; the hospital suicide ' s mother , whom we see leaving the house in the final sequence , has cut his throat with her son ' s razor . laura was right ; vorzet was the corbeau .\nle corbeau is based on a real incident , in which the southern town of tulle was subjected between 1917 and 1922 to a series of over 1000 anonymous letters , including pornographic drawings , signed l ' oeil du tigre ; the scandalous revelations of these letters provoked several suicides . after a lengthy dictation organized by a lyon police doctor and graphologist , the handwriting was discovered to be that of one ang\u00e8le laval , an amorously frustrated former civil servant ; arrested and tried in 1922 , she was given a suspended sentence and lived on for another fifty years . a screenplay inspired by l ' affaire ang\u00e8le , originally entitled l ' oeil du serpent , was written by louis chavance over the period from 1932 to 1937 , then reworked with clouzot in the course of production in 1943 .\nthough not clouzot ' s most accomplished film visually , le corbeau has one exceptional sequence where the suspected raven , marie corbin , flees a mob of angry townspeople . with each edit , the camera alternates between two perspectives . when she ' s running from it , it seems to be watching her , chasing her . when she ' s running toward it her face is always obscured , in opposition to the high contrast black and white of the rest of the film , which has the look and feel of a film noir except most of it takes place in broad daylight . finally , the noise of the mob becomes overwhelming and we get a close up of her running terrified . the camera isn ' t level during the running scenes , it is , well , rather twisted .\nthe reception in france for the sorrow and the pity contrasts markedly with that accorded to a recent french wartime memoir , michael quint ' s strange gardens . this was a french literary triumph of 2000 , hailed by le monde as\na jewel that warms the soul\n. in britain , the book was less well received : critic boyd tonkin called it\nan anodyne crowd - pleaser\n.\nthere is such a thing as objective symbolism . the matching of the still lamp with the moving lamp reflects not only the passage of time but the transition from a world of relativism associated with vorzet to a world of moral certitude exemplified by the mother . germain seems to side with vorzet , and in his subsequent remarks about the corbeau and even about the priority of the mother ' s life over the child ' s he takes a more measured position than previously . but when the film ends with germain opening the window curtain to show the mother ' s departure down the crooked street as vorzet ' s blood stains the last letter of the corbeau , we can hardly assert that the film itself is on vorzet ' s side , or even germain ' s . on the contrary , it shows us that the scourge of the corbeau could be lifted only by the mother ' s brutal act , and that more delicate souls like germain in fact depend upon such acts to maintain society ' s moral order . if we situate the film within the ethical context defined by the german occupation of france , then just as vorzet ' s ambivalence relativizes the guilt of collaboration , the mother ' s act cannot but recall the deeds of the resistance .\nwhat ' s scary about the film is it not only becomes difficult not to believe the poison letters , it becomes hard to place all that much blame on the raven . every character has their selfish and dishonest antics . denise fakes illness then when that doesn ' t work makes herself sick in order to get time alone with dr . germain . rolande extorts money from adults under the premise of getting her out of a jam , and constantly spies on dr . germain . after denise distracts dr . germain from his escape of watching the\ninnocent\nchildren play , a letter germain received from le corbeau blows off the windowsill into the playground . a little girl standing against a tree as punishment claims to not have seen it only to pull it out of her pocket as soon as he gives up his search , and begin to read it with a big grin on her face .\nnote : contents data are machine generated based on pre -

and in the mother ' s razor .\nas you have pointed out , shirley jackson\u2019s possibility of evil , published over two decades after the release of le corbeau , has much in common with clouzot\u2019s film . both are built around the same premise : an anonymous citizen is writing poisonous letters attacking the townspeople\u2019s misdeeds , in the hope that it will lead them to correct the error of their ways . instead , in both story and film it creates a climate of paranoia and dis - ease that spreads like a virus , infecting everyone in it path . at first , the townspeople try to ferret out the epistle - writer , but soon grow frustrated with that , and instead turn their paranoid concerns to the most prominent victim of these insidious attacks , dr . germain . complicating our reaction to these events , as the persistent victim of many of these smears , germain is not a particularly appealing hero . he is cool and aloof , detached and even a little arrogant . and the charges made against him may have merit : germain just might be guilty . and we just might cheer his fall .\ntruffaut , tavernier and malle also probed wartime dilemmas with honorable fearlessness . truffaut ' s the last metro ( 1980 ) questioned the value of artistic endeavour during the war . this was not just a matter of truffaut encouraging us to think about the compromises made by such french artists as charles trenet ,\nle fou chantant\n, who entertained wehrmacht officers at the folies and the gaiet\u00e9 parisienne . rather , truffaut ' s film encouraged us to reflect on the suggestion that by continuing to stage plays and concerts in paris , french artists may have contributed to making occupied paris seem normal to its citizens - and that to do so was perhaps morally contemptible .\nthe suspense in clouzot ' s films is generally generated from the relative absence of contrived or filmic qualities . while hitchcock would provide the audience with information the characters themselves didn ' t possess - for instance the gas spill in the birds - to get the audience chirping instructions at them , clouzot simply created a corrosive atmosphere where you knew the humans would get themselves into much trouble . the thing is , you didn ' t know which wrong action or miscalculation would lead to their demise , so there was no relief . certainly that was the case in his most successful suspense , le salaire de la peur ( the wages of fear ) where the main characters could be blown up at the slightest bump because their job was transporting a truckload of nitroglycerine .\nbut the critics inevitably pass over the contrasting scene that follows . vorzet departs , leaving germain in the room . as the lamp continues to swing , clouzot signals the passage of time by dissolving in a superimposed image of the lamp having come to rest . we tilt down to see germain in the morning , asleep with his head on the teacher ' s desk , having clearly spent the night in the classroom . he is awakened by the arrival of the suicide ' s mother , who tells him she is now working as a cleaning - lady at the school , ominously shows him her son ' s razor , and informs him that she has a good idea of the identity of the corbeau but is waiting to be absolutely sure before taking action . germain expresses shock , but she is unmoved .\nthe best - known scene in the film , which provides the key to its overall message , is also the most misunderstood . vorzet confronts germain in a schoolroom at night . germain affirms his moral reprobation for the corbeau and declares his certitude in knowing right from wrong . vorzet , accusing germain of being just as contaminated by the letters as the rest of st . - robin , counters with a little demonstration . the two doctors stand in front of a globe ; the room is lit by a single naked bulb hanging from the ceiling . vorzet pushes the light fixture so that it swings back and forth , casting its moving shadow on the globe ( on which europe is visible ) as he claims that the boundary between good and evil is similarly unstable . when germain tries to grab the bulb to stop its swinging , he burns his fingers , whereupon vorzet announces that his demonstration is conclusive : moral truth cannot be grasped by mere mortals .\nour situation as clouzot ' s spectators is judiciously balanced . with respect to the satiric elements of the film - the mutual blackmail of the chief doctor and the bursar , the hypocritical storekeeper who abandons germain for another doctor because of the letters , the postmaster taking for himself a corbeau letter addressed to his wife - we stand back ironically . but as regards the plot ' s driving enigma - discovering the author of the letters - we are put in the same position as the other characters , particularly germain , and are induced to jump to the same conclusions , suspecting first marie corbin , then denise , never vorzet . rather than being terrorized along with the victim , as in a film noir , or repelled by the mob , as in lang ' s fury or duvivier ' s postwar panique , we become part of the persecuting crowd . yet there is no final lynching to pin on us . like the good doctor , we learn that those we suspected were innocent . the guilty party , whom we presumably have not suspected , is indeed punished , but not by\nus\n; the mother , half -

( leah sottile )\nfor the first time in several years , artfest has managed to break the iron grip that art on the green had on the no . 1 spot of the best arts festival category .\ndavid brum , who oversees artfest in his role as the special programs and volunteer services coordinator at the northwest museum of arts and culture , is reluctant to attribute that coup to any one factor . although the festival ' s purpose is the same as it was when it was started 27 years ago \u2014 to showcase diverse northwest artists , engage the local community and raise funds for the mac \u2014 a lot has changed , too .\nsix years ago , the maximum amount of artists we could jury into the show was around 80 , because of space limitations ,\nsays brum . that ultimately led to artfest moving from the mac campus to nearby coeur d ' alene park in browne ' s addition .\nbecause we ' re in the park , we ' re able to make it more of a festival setting . we had over 140 artists participate last year .\nthe three - day event has also steadily increased its cachet with regional artists working in every medium under the sun : jewelry , wood , metal , glass , ceramics , watercolors , and more . around 230 artists have already applied for the limited \u2014 and often very lucrative \u2014 spots among the live music , beer gardens and food stalls of artfest 2012 .\naccordingly , the number of visitors has grown , though brum stresses it ' s hard to get concrete figures from the festival ' s open , free , and un - ticketed admission .\nwe have about 30 , 000 people a year on average coming to this event ,\nhe says .\nit ' s evolved into something i think the community respects and wants to be a part of . a lot of people put it on their calendar to come here year after year .\nthose increases in space , artist participation and public attendance aside , brum surmises that the most effective change came when artfest shifted its layout from a\nrectangular box\nwith rows of aisles to a\nserpentine oval shape\nthat was easier to navigate . first implemented in 2010 , the new layout was\nperfected\nlast year . and the response may have been encouraging enough to account for artfest ' s surge in the polls .\nchanging the look has really freshened it up . it improved traffic flow and it feels more festival - like ,\nbrum says .\nwe got a lot of positive comments about that .\n( e . j . iannelli )\nreally , mark and marcy few could probably think of a million things to do with their time . but instead , over the past decade , the gonzaga hoops coach and his wife have raised $ 5 . 4 million for their charity , coaches vs . cancer . each year , the fews shepherd hundreds of thousands \u2014 last year , over $ 600 , 000 \u2014 and donate it all toward children ' s cancer research . it makes you wonder : if all coaches had the fews ' philanthropic mentality , maybe we could win the fight against cancer just a little bit faster .

( lauren miller )\nrent might easily have been voted into its top slot as a gesture of goodwill . after all , it was a bold move just to entertain the thought of staging this award - winning musical with homosexual and hiv - positive characters at a community theater in rural idaho .\nbut solidarity and goodwill will only carry you so far . to attempt to explain the popularity of lake city playhouse ' s production of rent as a wider public reaction to an outspoken minority would be missing the point . whatever complementary forces might have been at work , rent was a compelling and deserving production in its own right .\nsome people may point to the controversy ,\nsays george green , artistic director at the lake city playhouse ,\nbut we were selling tickets way before we started having some of those minor issues .\ni think people came and saw what was on the stage and how talented those performers were , and word of mouth just grew . we had people buy season tickets because of what they saw \u2014 not the content , but the production value .\ndirected and co - choreographed by local theatrical mainstay troy nickerson , rent successfully translated the broadway - sized rock operetta to the smaller stage of the lake city playhouse . it was a technical feat that was pulled off with the help of choreographer jillian wylie and a group of musicians under the direction of zack baker .\nthere ' s so much involved with putting a band right there in the middle of the stage , with performers singing and dancing around them 100 percent of the time ,\nsays green .\nto balance that in our space was very , very challenging .\nand then you had voices like robby french and todd kehne and christina coty , and gosh , keyonna knight as mimi . so many people will always remember that performance . i mean , for a girl of her age to have that caliber of talent and bring it every night at that level was just stellar .\ndespite adding extra shows , the theater ended up turning patrons away . that likely left far more people disappointed about missing the chance to see rent than those who disapproved of it being staged in the first place .

everyone . we are all gatherers .\nfamily gathering\noffers a two - level ranch style cabin with wifi internet . as you enter your smoky mountain cabin the indoor hot tub is located on your left and the game room , with full - size pool table , is off to the right . you pass through the roomy dining hall with 4 tables into the living area where another dining table , spacious kitchen , and living room are located . the huge wood burning stone fireplace is the centerpiece of this space made for entertainment .\nto describe this gathering , it may be best to begin before we were born , before what the bible calls \u201cthe beginning\u201d ( genesis 1 : 1 ) . at that time , we lived with heavenly father as his spirit children . this is true of every person who has ever lived on earth .\nfrom that day to this , interest in exploring one\u2019s family history has grown exponentially . at ever - increasing rates , people seem drawn to their ancestry with more than just casual curiosity . genealogical libraries , associations , and technologies have emerged around the world to support this interest . the internet\u2019s power to enhance communications has enabled families to work together to do family history research with a speed and thoroughness never before possible .\ngeneral conference has always been a time of gathering for the latter - day saints . we have long since outgrown the ability to gather physically in one place , but the lord has provided ways for the blessings of general conference to reach out to you no matter where you are . while it is impressive to see the gathering of saints in this large conference center , we who stand at this pulpit always have in our mind\u2019s eye the millions of people who are gathered with us around the world to watch and listen to the conference . many of you are gathered with your families ; some may be gathered with friends or fellow church members .\na family reunion is much more inclusive of a wider range of relatives , say , all descendants of a specific couple , usually 3 or more generations back . there can be hundreds of people at such a reunion .\nfor example , as you follow the promptings to learn about your family history , you may discover that a distant relative shares some of your facial features or your interest in books or your talent for singing . this could be very interesting and even insightful . but if your work stops there , you will sense that something is missing . this is because to gather and unite god\u2019s family requires more than just warm feelings . it requires sacred covenants made in connection with priesthood ordinances .\nthere are 7 bedrooms with their own televisions and comfortable accommodations , providing enough space to sleep a small army . to your left , a master bedroom with king - size bed , in - room jacuzzi tub , and private bath . to your right , 2 bedrooms with queen - size beds with a shared bathroom offer additional sleeping space . stepping to the lower level , your\nfamily gathering\ncabin in pigeon forge tn offers a kitchenette for additional snack opportunities . off to your left are three bedrooms , 2 offer comfortable queen - size beds and the other a full - size bed . back down the hall , an open room with 8 sets of bunk beds that all the kids are sure to love .\njason upton is a singer / songwriter

a life fully lived in relationship with god , family and friends . click here for more information .\na fashion designer returns home to help her father and brother run the family farm , which has been forced to switch from cattle to sheep in difficult financial circumstances . she adopts a collie from an animal shelter , which shows such ability that she decides to enter it in a sheep - herding competition . drama , starring natasha henstridge and harry hamlin .\nkimberly and alberto rivera carry a passion to release the presence of god through worship and have a desire to see his church saturated with the atmosphere and sound of heaven . their heart and anointing is awakening the family of god throughout the nations as people experience the fullness of worship immersed in the presence of the loving father . click here for more information .\nbut you and i know , because of the truths restored through the prophet joseph smith , that god\u2019s plan is much more loving and just than that . our heavenly father is anxious to gather and bless all of his family . while he knows that not all of them will choose to be gathered , his plan gives each of his children the opportunity to accept or reject his invitation . and families are at the heart of this plan .\nin addition , many youth have discovered that giving of their time to do family history research and temple work has deepened their testimony of the plan of salvation . it has increased the influence of the spirit in their lives and decreased the influence of the adversary . it has helped them feel closer to their families and closer to the lord jesus christ . they have learned that this work saves not just the dead ; it saves all of us ( see d & c 128 : 18 ) .\njust a few weeks ago , i was working on my family history with a consultant by my side and another helper on the phone . on the computer screen before me was a problem beyond my mortal power to solve . i saw two names , sent to me by the wonders of technology , of people who might be waiting for a temple ordinance . but the trouble was that the names were different , but there was a reason to believe they might be the same person . my task was to determine what was true .\nyou see , the names \u201cbrother\u201d and \u201csister\u201d are not just friendly greetings or terms of endearment for us . they are an expression of an eternal truth : god is the literal father of all mankind ; we are each part of his eternal family . because he loves us with the love of a perfect father , he wants us to progress and advance and become like him . he ordained a plan by which we would come to earth , in families , and have experiences that would prepare us to return to him and live as he lives .\nwell , he was partially right . computers would be an important part of the future of family history work\u2014just not the computers he was selling . an inspired leader of the church chose not to buy his computers . the church was to wait for technology that at that time had not yet even been imagined . but i have learned in the many years since that even the best technology can never be a substitute for revelation from heaven , like the kind that church leader received . this is a spiritual work , and the lord directs it through his holy spirit .\nof course , all of us have many pressing and important responsibilities that need our attention and time . all of us find parts of what the lord expects us to do beyond our abilities . fortunately , the lord provides a way for each of us to gain confidence and satisfaction in all our service , including family history service . we gain strength to do what he asks through our faith that the savior gives no commandment \u201csave he shall prepare a way for [ us ] that [ we ] may accomplish the thing which he commandeth\u201d ( 1 nephi 3 : 7 ) .\nleif hetland is founder and president of global mission awareness . he ministers globally bringing an impartation of god\u2019s love , healing , and apostolic authority through a paradigm of kingdom family . a forerunner in modern - day missions , leif has brought the gospel into the most spiritually dark areas of the world . over one million souls have been saved through his ministry . he has written numerous books , including his best - sellers seeing through heaven\u2019s eyes and healing the orphan spirit . leif and his wife jennifer reside just outside atlanta , ga where they continue to touch countless lives through their ministry .\nin this contrived and predictable melodrama , natasha henstridge plays a new york fashion designer who ends up neck - deep in clich\u00e9s when she returns to her family farm for her mother ' s funeral . naturally , father / daughter conflict immediately erupts , exacerbated by the usual\nbusiness is struggling\nsubplot . however , the antagonism here is taken to laughable levels after henstridge ' s character adopts an allegedly useless herding - dog to help with the sheep . you don ' t need to have been watching to guess what follows , as the appropriately named lucky proves the solution to the clan ' s problems - both financial and emotional - and even gets to show off some ridiculous , lassie - style heroism . the problem is that everything ' s all so convenient , with superficial sentimentality replacing genuine emotion .\nthis is the work of our generation , what the apostle paul called \u201cthe dispensation of the fulness of times , \u201d when he said god would \u201cgather together in one all things in christ , both which are in heaven , and which are on earth ; even in him\u201d ( ephesians 1 : 10 ) . this is made possible through the atoning work of god\u2019s beloved son , jesus christ . because of him , our family members , \u201cwho sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of christ . for he is our peace , who hath made both one , and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us\u201d ( ephesians 2 : 13\u201314 ) . you have felt this , as i have , when you have experienced an increase of love as you looked at the picture of an ancestor . you have felt it in the temple when the name on a card seemed like more than a name , and you couldn\u2019t help but sense that this person was aware of you and felt your love .\nsound - les fresholtz , dick alexander , vern

wants his children home again , in families and in glory .\nmy dear brothers and sisters , i rejoice at the opportunity to be with you at the beginning of this session of general conference . i welcome you most warmly .\nwherever you are and however you are hearing my voice , please know that even though you are not with us in person , we feel that you are with us in spirit . we hope all of you will feel one with us\u2014that you will feel the spiritual power that comes whenever a body of believers gathers in the name of jesus christ .\nthe central element of this plan was the promise that jesus christ would offer himself as a sacrifice , to rescue us from sin and death . our task in that plan is to accept the savior\u2019s sacrifice by obeying the laws and ordinances of the gospel . you and i accepted this plan . in fact , we rejoiced in it , even though it would mean that we would leave the presence of our father and forget what we had experienced there with him .\nbut we were not sent here completely in the dark . each of us was given a portion of god\u2019s light , called the \u201clight of christ , \u201d to help us distinguish between good and evil , right and wrong . this is why even those who live with little or no knowledge of the father\u2019s plan can still sense , in their hearts , that certain actions are just and moral while others are not .\nour sense of right and wrong seems especially keen when we are raising our children . innate in almost every parent is the desire to teach his or her children moral virtues . this is part of the miracle of heavenly father\u2019s plan . he wants his children to come to earth , following the eternal pattern of families that exists in heaven . families are the basic organizational unit of the eternal realms , and so he intends for them also to be the basic unit on earth . though earthly families are far from perfect , they give god\u2019s children the best chance to be welcomed to the world with the only love on earth that comes close to what we felt in heaven\u2014parental love . families are also the best way to preserve and pass on moral virtues and true principles that are most likely to lead us back to god\u2019s presence .\nonly a very small minority of god\u2019s children obtain during this life a complete understanding of god\u2019s plan , along with access to the priesthood ordinances and covenants that make the savior\u2019s atoning power fully operative in our lives . even those with the best of parents may live faithfully according to the light they have but never hear about jesus christ and his atonement or be invited to be baptized in his name . this has been true for countless millions of our brothers and sisters throughout the world\u2019s history .\nsome may consider this unfair . they may even take it as evidence that there is no plan , no specific requirements for salvation\u2014feeling that a just , loving god would not create a plan that is available to such a small proportion of his children . others might conclude that god must have determined in advance which of his children he would save and made the gospel available to them , while those who never heard the gospel simply were not \u201cchosen . \u201d\ncenturies ago , the prophet malachi said that in a coming day , god would send elijah to \u201cturn the heart of the fathers to the children , and the heart of the children to their fathers\u201d ( malachi 4 : 6 ) .\nthis prophecy was so important the savior quoted it when he visited the americas after his resurrection ( see 3 nephi 25 : 5\u20136 ) . and when the angel moroni visited the prophet joseph smith , he too quoted the prophecy about elijah and hearts , fathers , and children ( see joseph smith\u2014history 1 : 36\u201339 ) .\ntoday is april 1 . two days from now , april 3 , marks 181 years from the day when malachi\u2019s prophecy was fulfilled . on that day , elijah did come , and he gave to joseph smith the priesthood power to seal families eternally ( see d & c 110 : 13\u201316 ) .\nwhy is all of this happening ? for lack of a better term , we call it the \u201cspirit of elijah . \u201d we could also equally call it \u201cfulfillment of prophecy . \u201d i bear testimony that elijah did come . the hearts of the children\u2014of you and me\u2014have turned to our fathers , our ancestors . the affection you feel for your ancestors is part of the fulfillment of that prophecy . it is deeply seated in your sense of who you are . but it has to do with more than just inherited dna .\nmany of your ancestors did not receive those ordinances . but in the providence of god , you did . and god knew that you would feel drawn to your ancestors in love and that you would have the technology necessary to identify them . he also knew that you would live in a time when access to holy temples , where the ordinances can be performed , would be greater than ever in history . and he knew that he could trust you to accomplish this work in behalf of your ancestors .\ni know this is true from experience . many years ago , as a university student , i met a man who worked for one of the largest computer companies in the world . this was in the early days of computing , and it just so happened that his company had sent him to sell computers to the church of jesus christ of latter - day saints .\nas far as i could tell , this salesman had no religious faith . yet he said with wonder and exasperation , \u201cin this church they were doing what they called \u2018genealogy , \u2019 searching for names of people who are dead , trying to identify their ancestors . people , mostly women , were running around between filing cabinets , searching through little cards for information . \u201d if i remember right , he said the ladies were wearing tennis shoes so they could run a little faster . the man went on , \u201cas i saw the magnitude of what they were trying to do , i realized that i had discovered the reason for the invention of computers . \u201d\ni asked my consultants to tell me . they said , \u201cno , you must choose . \u201d and they were completely sure i would discover the truth . the computer , with all its power and information , had left me the blessing of staring at those names on a screen , evaluating the available information , seeking other research , praying silently , and discovering what was true . as i prayed , i knew with surety what to do\u2014just as i have in other situations when i needed to rely on heaven\u2019s help to solve a problem .\nin recent years , the youth of the church have responded to the spirit of elijah in an inspiring way . many now hold their own limited - use temple recommend and use it often . temple baptistries are busier than ever ; some temples have even had to adjust their schedules to accommodate the increase in the number of young people attending the temple .\nit used to be a rare but welcome exception for youth to bring the names of their own ancestors to the temple . now this is the norm , and very often it is the young people themselves who found those ancestors .\ntrump watched the final round of

of - the - art digital effects , or films that rely on ingenuity and makeshift solutions rather than money . perhaps the next time you feel like complaining about the quality of the latest blockbusters , you might try tracking down a small independent film instead . not every low budget film will be as terrific as cheap thrills , but it ' s here that the real leaps of imagination are made \u2013 often out of necessity \u2013 and you will see and hear things you have never seen or heard before .\nfunding a film is difficult at the best of times , especially in the uk , where decades of confusion about the role of the film industry has left it in a bit of mess , to put it mildly . which makes it a reason for celebration when new talent does emerge , especially with a film like kidulthood .\nglobal creatures , a company founded by a wealthy australian , is breaking into theater with high -

observed . another directorial debut ( proving that low - budget films remain the best way to cut your filmmaking teeth ) , jared hess\u2019s film speaks to the outsider in us all , with jon heder as the ultimate loner napoleon dynamite , who spends his time drawing ligers .\nthe vast majority of films are not financed by big hollywood studios . in fact , many of them aren\u2019t american , and must rely on the more modest resources of national film associations . such is the case with new zealand comedy eagle vs shark . the script was developed at a sundance workshop and then sold , leading to the new zealand film commission putting up the budget for it .\n7 . budget reality check : be sure everyone on the team is aware of the budget . are they willing to double up at the motel ? can they afford to work for less ? nothing is more uncomfortable than a crew member who didn ' t factor in the time and fee adequately . it only takes one person to cast a pall on the film because they didn ' t realize the impact on their time commitment and the finances .\n\u2013 ultra -

crafted film and one that appears slapped together without thought to the balance of a scene .\nbelow is a list of fifteen things we did to help us get our movie made . certainly , there are many more , but i feel that these principles are absolutely essential to making a successful micro - budget film : 1 . get off your ass and make a movie .\nshapiro : that seems like it would be true of any genre , and yet we only seem to see these low - cost breakout hits in horror . why do you think that is rather than , i don ' t know , drama or romantic comedy or other things ?\nthe man from earth ( 2007 ) \u2013 imdb listing production budget : $ 200k \u2013 source this indie has some familiar faces gathered at a country house as they discuss a thought experiment \u201cwhat if a man from the upper paleolithic survived until the present day ? \u201d it\u2019s a common technique for getting around having a high budget of showing things to just have people sitting around talking about things . so is it really a sci fi film if nothing really ever happens ?\n- the script is often written after the resource assessment . but whenever it is written or modified , it must be possible to make the scripted movie with the resources available . shooting digitally rather than on film usually reduces the budget thus reducing the risk of running out of money during production .\n50 % of your film is the audio . if you have poor audio , your film\u2019s production value will be lowered immensely . in fact , many would argue that good audio is more important than good visuals to the average viewer .\nwon\nbest human document\nat the 1956 cannes film festival , establishing satyajit ray as a major international filmmaker .\nafter financing for hunger was turned down by the irish film board , the film was instead co -

work that scene so it takes place in a coffee shop , or a park , or a restaurant , or anywhere else that you may have access to . kevin smith\u2019s low - budget legend clerks is a perfect example of utilizing the locations that you have . he worked at a convenience store and wrote the story around that store as that\u2019s what he had access to . that\u2019s exactly what you should do , too .\njames bond\u2019s golden anniversary moment in the spotlight hasn\u2019t ended yet . the twenty - third film in the spy series , skyfall , is still counting the cash , bringing home a total of $ 669 million so far ( with a budget of $ 200 million ) . website pajiba recently surveyed 007\u2019s place amongst the most expensive movies of all time , and the titles aren\u2019t entirely surprising , but the numbers are indeed outrageous . the comprehensive list got us thinking about the opposite end of the spectrum : low - budget films that became unexpected hits . success is subjective , and we\u2019ve measured each movie by its cult likability and by the numbers ( not adjusted for inflation ) . click through for more movies made on the cheap that became big , and tell us your favorites .\nfrustration and impatience are essential traits if you want to make a feature film with no money . combine this frustration with an important realization : unless your last name is \u201ccoppola , \u201d your short film received major attention at sundance , or you have many rich uncles you\u2019re not going to be make a feature film for more than $ 100 , 000 . you\u2019re going to have to work for it . and even after that work , it\u2019s unrealistic for you to make something with a significant budget . 2 . stop worrying about writing something marketable .\nthe 13 - year - old lead actor turgoose had never acted before this film , in fact he had been banned from his school play for bad behaviour , and demanded \u00a35 to turn up for the film\u2019s auditions . this convinced director shane meadows he was perfect for the role . the film was dedicated to turgoose\u2019s mother , sharon , who died of cancer on 29 december 2005 ; while she never saw the film , she saw a short preview . the cast attended her funeral ."]}

it\u2019s commendable effort . not trying , and presenting women as a male artist and sticking to old formulas that everyone accepts but that are total crap , is misogyny . the film can be looked at as a film for men , who are encouraged to learn this lesson : if you go into women\u2019s world , you implicitly give up all the pragmatism you cherish , because your skills are from the other half . his experiences in the film are beautiful renderings of absorption into women\u2019s world , which we men cannot understand , and the couple\u2019s ridiculousness as explained by the authors of this article demonstrates men\u2019s world failing as soon as it hits women\u2019s , all our psychological edifice be damned . so , are psychology , reality and morality still misogynistic\u2026 ?\njust finished watching the movie and resorted ahead to some sites where i could find explanations and seen this . i have never encountered a movie that had so many interpretations like this one . i must say , i\u2019m still not convinced and i\u2019m still baffled with the whole construction of the film . i can\u2019t see the purpose of implicating so many symbolisms that most of the audience would leave them resorting to their own understanding . like most of you have said , antichrist is a movie about religion ( of any sort ) and as a catholic , i beg to differ . as biased as it would seem , i don\u2019t like incorporating this movie with the bible and its contents . tier must have just tried to animate everything what\u2019s on his head and produced antichrist as the outcome . i didn\u2019t see any rulings in the film that might have established some sort of a religious backbone that probably led the characters\u2019 developing behaviours . there were elements in the film though that would support the most likable theory of this very mind - boggling film but as i said , they were just elements in the story ( like the xray photo that was just left right there ) and nothing more . i think the film was just trying to show the imbalances between couples , and how negligence and disregarded detainments could lead to greater destruction and insanity . it\u2019s obvious that the two just lost it .\n9 has received mixed to positive reviews from critics , with its visuals being the most highly praised aspect . based on 112 reviews collected by rotten tomatoes , the film has an overall\nrotten\napproval rating of 56 % from critics , with the top critics ranking it slightly lower , giving it a\nrotten\nrating of 50 % and the film having an average score of 6 / 10 . the rating from the rt community has been slightly higher , with a rating of 73 % . on metacritic , it currently holds a score of 60 out of 100 mixed or average reviews . the general sentiment by critics is that the film is\nlong on imaginative design but less substantial in narrative .\nvariety s todd mccarthy says\nin the end , the picture ' s impact derives mostly from its design and assured execution .\nin the commentary for 9 , a comment was made about a prequel leading up to the events of 9 . it was also stated in the commentary that the rain drops had microscopic organisms that would eventually evolve and be shown in a sequel . it is unknown if these were serious comments . currently no plans for a sequel have been made , but possibilities have been mentioned via the film ' s dvd commentary . shane acker has also mentioned the possibility of a sequel being made because of the lack of darker animated films , claiming that everything is g and pg rated anymore with little to no dark elements . he has said that he will continue to make darker animated films , either doing so with a sequel to 9 plus original ideas for future films . before the theatrical release of the film , director shane acker , producer tim burton and music composed by danny elfman stated he was open for a sequel . he also stated that there may be more sequels than just a second film , and also video games based on the film . in an interview released on moviesonline , he brought up the possibility of the sequel being titled 10 .\nat one point , chief bogo references\nlet it go\nfrom frozen . this was not only an obvious reference to the aforementioned film , but also a nod to frozen ' s co - director jennifer lee , who served as a co - writer for zootopia .

i need the guys i ' ve worked with before .\nso it made sense to the producers to hire me , and my name was starting to spread a bit at that point too , because of the golden globe nomination for girl with a pearl earring . so that is how i got involved . [ play\ngriet ' s theme\nfrom girl with a pearl earring mp3 ]\n\u201ci listen with my eyes and i look with my ears , \u201d says alexandre desplat .\neverything goes through his eyes and through his emotions , his hidden emotions ,\ndesplat , 50 , said from his home in paris , during a short holiday break between the seemingly endless stream of film music commissions he ' s been balancing since his career breakthrough in 2003 with his score to\ngirl with a pearl earring .\nhe ' s landed four oscar nominations in the last five years , the latest coming for his music used in\nthe king ' s speech .\nyou wouldn ' t think a movie could look like a vermeer painting , but girl with a pearl earring is filmed with an amazing range of luminous glows that evoke the dutch artist ' s masterworks . of course , it helps that much of the movie focuses on scarlett johansson ( lost in translation , ghost world ) , whose creamy skin and full lips have a luminosity of their own . johansson plays griet , a maid in the household of johannes vermeer ( colin firth ) , who finds herself in a web of jealousy , artistic inspiration , and social machinations . though the pace is slow , girl with a pearl earring genuinely conveys some sense of an artist ' s process , as well as offering many chaste yet sensual moments between firth and johansson . also featuring essie davis as vermeer ' s bitter wife and tom wilkinson ( in the bedroom ) as a wealthy patron with eyes for griet . - - bret fetzer\nthis film , then , is about art and exploitation and how a young woman attempts to resist a system designed to make her hopelessly vulnerable . griet is a protestant in a catholic household . the artist ' s permanently pregnant wife and her cruel children despise and resent the pretty newcomer . the lecherous merchant van ruijven lusts after griet and , in lieu of realising his desires , he agrees to have a painting made of her to leer over in his private gallery . this turns out to be girl with a pearl earring .\nthe trouble with hollywood film scores these days is that so many sound as if you have heard them before . that\u2019s less the fault of composers than of directors , who commonly prescore their films with temporary music during editing , then frequently expect the final score to emulate that \u201ctemp track . \u201d so originality , when it occurs , can be startling , as when american audiences first heard the enchanting waltzes of \u201cgirl with a pearl earring\u201d in 2003 , or the fairy - tale flutes and surging orchestral drama of \u201cbirth\u201d in 2004 .\nmeaningful name : griet is the dutch from of ' margaret , ' which is greek for pearl .\nat the start of ' ' girl with a pearl earring , ' ' griet ( scarlett johansson ) is shown peeling an onion , an image as metaphor rarely seen outside first - semester filmmaking classes . the determination visible in such an effort communicates importance writ large . and the film , adapted by olivia hetreed from tracy chevalier ' s novel , does have a great subject : the story surrounding an artwork shrouded in mystery and a project that ruins a woman ' s reputation yet ensures her a place in history .\nwhen girl with a pearl earring was first published in august 1999 , it received a few good reviews but little attention . chevalier ' s first novel , the virgin blue , had not even been , as she puts it ,\na modest success\n. she was just another youngish female novelist , born in america and living in london with her british husband . when her second book sold 5 , 000 copies in hardback , she was delighted .\nin girl with a pearl earring , both the novel and the film , vermeer invites griet to look into a camera obscura set up in his studio . shocked by how the image in the camera intensifies the scene that the artist has arranged to paint , griet , in the novel , thinks of the image on glass as\na painting that was not a painting .\nthe same could be said of 5 scenes within the film : arranged by a set designer and then captured by a movie camera , they are paintings that are not paintings , viewed on the surface of the screen . significantly , in the film vermeer describes the camera obscura image as\na picture made of light .\n, and stars scarlett johansson as vermeer\u2019s housemaid - turned - model , griet . i spoke with webber at september 2003\u2019s san sebastian film festival , where the film was in the official competition .\nwith great portraits it is usually the painter , not the painted , who is remembered : even emperors , kings and popes take second place when titian , rubens or vel\u00e1zquez portray them . yet a few unidentified models , leonardo ' s mona lisa or goya ' s maja among them , have become icons . and now , thanks to a best - selling novel and a new movie , vermeer ' s ' ' girl with a pearl earring ' ' may be joining them .\nthe gorgeously filmed girl with a pearl earring is a commentary on artistic imperatives , the creative process , and the way we look at things . and power , money , and sex . the movie superbly captures the shadows and lights of vermeer ' s delft . johannson ' s face is as complex and haunting as the portrait of the anonymous girl she portrays . she is a marvel of delicate expression . when at last she removes her headdress and we see her hair it is almost unbearably intimate and erotic .\nmusically , griet ' s theme seems a perfect match for the character of the girl , played by scarlett johansson .\nthe boy , oskar , becomes obsessed with finding the lock the key will open , a theme that french composer alexandre desplat strongly connected with in crafting the music for daldry ' s film .\nthe subject of one of johannes vermeer ' s most enduring portraits becomes the focus of this biographical period piece from director peter webber . girl with a pearl earring is told from the point of view of griet ( scarlett johansson ) , a teenaged girl who leaves her family ' s care in the country to become a servant for the vermeer household in the comparatively bustling , canal - laden burgh of delft . when she arrives , she finds herself at the low end of the servant totem pole , until she ' s allowed to clean\nthe master ' s\npainting quarters . there , she catches the eye of the taciturn , reclusive vermeer ( colin firth ) , and over a period of time , he begins to craft her portrait . of course , this does little to further his relationship with his jealous , pregnant wife , catharina ( essie davis ) , or with his most vocal benefactor , van ruijven ( tom wilkinson ) , who often dictates what portraits vermeer should paint . meanwhile , griet navigates a sweet , tentative relationship with a peasant boy her age ( cillian murphy ) . girl with a pearl earring had its north american premiere at the 2003 toronto film festival .\nalthough the artist johannes vermeer has never been held in higher esteem , his personality remains shadowy . his most celebrated paintings capture a moment of suspension , of activity hanging in the balance . tracy chevalier ' s 1999 novel responds to this sense of withheld immediacy by imagining a relationship with a servant girl that might unlock the mysterious atmosphere of the 1665 portrait girl with a pearl earring . chevalier ' s success rests on deploying period detail against the slow build of sexual tension , despite unremarkable characterisation and narrative . peter webber ' s debut feature replicates these features , but even if its central relationship is unconvincing , he crafts a compelling film about the work that surrounds art ' s stilled life ."]}

bottom and started digging : (\npeople were shaking their heads in disbelief when he danced with one of the\nsex bombs\n( was it jayamalini or anuradha ? ) in naam iruvar namakku iruvar .\nthen came mudhal maritathai in 1985 . the first few weeks the theatres were empty . then by word of mouth the movie became popular and sivaji ' s career had a rebirth .\nhow can people forget thirpu , kalthoon , raktapaasam , kannan vanthan ? for that matter even rishimoolam was a third rate movie . ilayaraja music saved deepam . msv was too good in annan oru koil and andaman kadali . there was another\niru methaigal\nsivaji and prabhu . they could have named it as iru pannigal : - ) . was he the same guy who did parasakti , manohara , kattabomman , navaratri , andha naal , thooku thooki and many more such ? nevertheless , tamil films will be grateful to this wonderful actor of 50s and 60s . even thevar magan he did great .\ndharmaraja - - i don ' t know what is antisocial in this movie .\ngeneral chakravarthy - - i don ' t know what is antisocial in this movie . again its a family subject\nabout other movies , i have not seen them and so can ' t comment . if you look at the ratio of good versus bad ones from sivaji he probably enjoyes the best percentages in the industry anytime .\neven , in the midst of some crap movies like l . d . rajakannu he did not fail to deliver good ones like kalthoon , deepam , thrisulam , rishimoolam and a few others .\nhe is unparalled in tamil movie industry . people who are not even 50 % talented as sivaji claim that they are heir to him ( kamalahasan assumes so ) . acting has to be inborn and not improvised .\nacting has to be instantaneous , inborn and not improvised . sivaji showed how he can perform for all characters by even underplaying ( mudhal mariyathai ) dependending on the director ' s expectations . the only comparison i can draw is illayaraja who delivers instantaneously as the situation demands without having to depend on samples and stuff\noisg - here you go . a better tfm connection for you . maybe this ir - arr reference can be tfmpage ' s very own godwin ' s law .\nmy comparison was between sivaji and ir only . i don ' t know why you assumed arr ( may be he uses samples ) . what i meant is unlike modern mds who need to listen to many songs , refer to samples etc , improvise for many days , ir comes to the studio without any preconceptions and composes on the spot for the situation described .\nsivaji and ir has similar talents w . r . t . delivering as the situation warrants without any or much home work . the same cannot be said of any other artists in the industry\navan oru sarithiram ' s review in a famous tamil daily had a single line .\navan oru daridiram\n: )\nfrom : yvs mani ( @ 164 . 100 . 11 . 114 ) on : thu jul 10 01 : 22 : 16 edt 2003\ni think i need to clarify on\nanti - social\n- i feel all these movies are crimes against tf fans and sivaji fans in particular unleashed by d yoganand , kvijyan & co . in some movies sivaji s\nanyonam\nwith krv reached\naniyayam\nstage like general chakravarthy .\nsangili - it should have been banned under npt as it created a\nchain\nreaction - - bringing in prabhu to tamil films .\nbut a thought on these films make to think about the other side of sivaji - deiva magan , gnana oli , rangoon radha , vkb , karnan . sivaji is like ganges . . . . at times you see dead bodies floating and almost dirty at the fag end . . . . but ganges from gangotri to till bay of bengal .\nany disc cannot be complete with ir / arr here . ir needs to do lot of explaining as well for his rajastan , kattapanjayatu , poovarasan etc . arr for his vandicholai chinrasu , pudhiya mannargal .\nif this discussion leads to the greater works of sivaji , i would be pleased .\nwhat with all the trouble with our server i got left out of all the rani padmini sparring . the only rani padmini that i know of ( and saravanan & oisg perhaps ) kicked the bucket under tragic circumstances the wanton victim of some mcp ! but that is neither here nor there .\nignore prev post i do not know what is happening here . my post in sotd has been duplicated here . my great post has bit the dust . the summary was i agree viswaroopam , chiranjeevi & mohana punnagai were great duds but the pilots & generals should be exonerated .\nbut one movie which i shudder even today is ironically not so much for sivaji ' s performance but that of his co - star who had out laughed , out cried and out shouted the n . t . name the movie & the star for a year ' s subscription of\nvengayam ' s vetti pecchu - viraivil ethir paarungal !\ndharmam enge came in 1972 , after three successful movies raaja , gna oli and pattikaadaa pattanamaa .\nactually the story is good , the screen play was poor ( a c thirulogachander ) .\nnormally , in a mannar - makkal film , the hero would fight till the end against the ' sarvaadhikaari ' and capture the power in the end .\nin dharmam enge , capturing power ends in the intervel itself . after that , the king ( hero ) appoints some people in key posts and does not give posts to one of his friends ( muthuramam ) on the basis that he is not capable of ruling . this makes muthuraman revolts against the king and finally the king overcomes that too .\na good story in those days , but screen play was very poor . has a good song - tms & ps - palliyaraikkul vandha pulli mayile ( msv )\ni can expect a similar thread on kamal too , what with his pairing with young , nubile girls as old as his daughters .\n' msv migavum than nalam atravar . illaiyendraal , thannudaiya sondha padathirkku ippadi isai amaippaara ? '\nthe joke was that in those days sivaji developed permanent rosy cheeks . know why ? because as he was biking around in his purple and mauve coats , the collars ( which were half as big as elephant ears in those bell bottom days , if you know what i mean ) kept flapping his cheek with the wind .\ntwo things about those trousers he wore , god bless his designer . since he was wearing them at almost chest level ( in a sad attempt at paunch - control ) , it was said that the comparison of him with marlon brando in the local press was getting close . our man was the\nmaarla pant ' o\n.\nthe other joke was - what would sivaji do when his chest itched ? simple , pull his zipper down . it was also rumoured that he had a second secret zippper much below this one for his ablutions . look , this is getting worse . . i don ' t know what ' s getting over me , my daughters are looking at me as though i ' ve gone insane . .\nanyway , after a lousy day at work , the very mention of epics such as ldr and yy has be going nuts . anyone from chennai game for a retrospective of sgs anti - social movies only , you have an over - eager sponsor . . .\nsections : home - tfm magazine - forum - wiki - pow - opod - lyrics - pictures - music notes - forums : current topics - ilayaraja albums - a . r . rahman albums - tfm oldies - fun & games ilaiyaraja : releases - news - share music - ar rahman : releases - news - aotw - tweets - discussions : msv - ysr - gvp - song requests - song stats - raga of songs - copying - tweets database : main - singers - music director ' s - lyricists fun : pp - ekb - relay - satires - quiz\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nchange of protocol at gh brings down death rate from 8 . 3 % to 5 . 6 %\nt . n . to soon launch networked ct , mri machines in govt . hospitals\nicici management reshuffle - ns kannan as the md and ceo of icici prudential , sandeep bakshi . . .\nthere was a time , really , when ulaga nayagan kamal haasan attracted crowds for his movies .\nwe still remember going to clearview cinemas ( now anil ambani\u2019s movie city ) on oak tree road , edison ( nj ) to watch vettaiyaadu villaiyaadu in august 2006 .\nthose days , ulaga nayagan\u2019s stock was high and much to our dismay we couldn\u2019t get tickets for the friday show ( aug 25 , 2006 ) .\nso we returned on august 26 , saturday . we came early and found ourselves a slot at the head of the queue .\nbut in a few minutes , the crowds started to gather and soon the line extended almost as far back as mughal indian restaurant at the other end ( see photo below ) .\nand you richly deserve your miserable fate for all the garbage you\u2019ve shoveled our way over the last four years .\nthe infinitely vice wise si wrote the following \u2018rajinikanth\u2019 post three years back , in august 2008 , as if in anticipation of your comment today \u2013 why do tamils burn themselves ? .\n2 . you write : news in ht today . \u201crana\u201d will be rajinikanth\u2019s last movie\u2026 .\nas vadivelu rightly said about rana a few weeks back : ranavavadhu\u2026 ganavavadhu\u2026 . maybe , the prescient vadivelu knew something about rajinikanth we all didn\u2019t then . \ud83d\ude09\nperhaps , he\u2019s trying hard to gain the status of a mass hero by acting in shitty movies .\nbut , nayagan and anbe sivam would work for me anyday . you can\u2019t just rule him out after watching these two gems . i would boldly recommend these two films to an american .\nnayagan and anbe sivam were all right , by indian standards or lack thereof .\n@ gk : \u201cperhaps , he\u2019s trying hard to gain the status of a mass hero by acting in shitty movies . \u201d\nthere is no \u201ctrying hard to gain the status\u201d aspect of this narcissistic charade he\u2019s been carrying on for over 2 decades . according to a poster here called , \u201cfilmlover\u201d ( refer to si\u2019s review of manmadhan ambu sometime around dec , 2010 / jan , 2011 ) , kamal once thought that tamil audiences that appreciate jurassic park and titanic , would definitely appreciate hey raam . if that statement were indeed true , then i clearly see a man who has bought his cult of personality and is so blinded by it to the extent that he thinks rank entertainers like jurassic park and titanic are in the same category as a hey raam and also thinks his production values are as good as hollywood\u2019s . either way , he\u2019s deluded and horribly wrong , and that has a lot to do with the blinders he has willingly put on for a while now .\nboth are inspired from godfather ( even though nayagan was based on real - life varadharajan mudaliar ) and planes , trains , and automobiles , respectively . however i\u2019d disagree with si and say nayagan was much more than \u201call right . \u201d\nyou write : i clearly see a man who has bought his cult of personality and is so blinded by it to the extent that he thinks rank entertainers like jurassic park and titanic are in the same category as a hey raam and also thinks his production values are as good as hollywood\u2019s .\n@ si : \u201cproduction values and kamal haasan ? god , look at the makeup in dasavathram . uggghhly\u201d\nso what ? dasavatharam was ass - car worthy and that kamal winning the ass - car is an honor ( or \u2018kaanar\u2019 , as they say in tn ) for the ass - car , instead of the other way around\u2026 . as the average kamal fan - boy would say .\nunless there\u2019s a miracle , it looks like the end of the innings for both kamal haasan and rajinikanth \u2013 hit - wicket ( kamal haasan ) and hurt - retired ( rajinikanth ) .\nmarks the end of an era in tamil films in many respects . the last big stars from the 70s and 80s . the last big stars to strike a pan - tamil nadu appeal ( now it\u2019s all vijay fans , ajith fans , simbhu fans , kombhu fans\u2026 ) . the last big stars to deliver several memorable movies .\ni think si has to first define the yardstick to judge the talent of an actor . at times , it lashes out those buffoons who are crowd pullers like vijay for delivering unpalatable masala scraps and at times , it lashes out an actor of someone like kamal\u2019s calibre for occasionally ( or i would say rarely ) delivering scraps like dasavatharam , ma etc .\nwhen kamal makes an anbe sivam , mahanadhi or guna , nobody cares to go to theatre ; would rather watch it in pirated dvds and pseudo hail it as cult classics . eventually , these films fail miserably at the box office much to the agony of producers ( most of those experimental films were produced by himself \u2013 that\u2019s another sad story ! ) enna ulagamada ithu !\nwhy not si ask these so called crowd pullers like rajni , vijay etc to produce those cult classics ? in fact when rajni was asked this question in one of his interviews , he said \u201d why should i ? to think of a story line for me is not my job . its the job of story writers and directors . i am a hero ( masala ) \u201d he was trying to justify he would continue to deliver masala scraps like kuselan , robo etc and be a part of scrap cinemas / crowd pullers rather than sensible cinema . indians are fond of icon bashing rather than constructive criticisms . obviously , the indian crowd would turn the blame game to someone who at least attempts to make a meaningful / sensible cinema . now si also joins the party of icon bashing and try to kill the instinct of those who attempt to take such initiatives . in fact , si should ask this question to itself .\ncoming back to si\u2019s question of \u201cwhy kamal is not a crowd puller ? \u201d i think si knows the answer .\nobviously , indian cinema is not a fair level playing field like hollywood , where an actor does not have to be a star to attract crowds . there is no distinction between crowd pullers & sensible cinema . you can still be a will smith / marlon brando doing sensible cinema and set box office on fire . the question holds good not only for kamal but also other actors / si\u2019s favourites ( naseeruddin , irfan , manoj bajpai , pankaj kapur etc\u2026cant remember their experimental films , if at all any ? ) . my point is why kamal alone be blamed .\nyou wont find an answer . until then , be prepared to watch height of inanities like dabang winning a national award !\n1 . by involving himself with shoddy productions like dasavatharam , vettaiyaadu villaiyaadu , unnaipol oruvan , manmadhan ambu , kamal haasan has proved that he doesn\u2019t care a fig for the paying audience . he\u2019s merely looking out for himself .\nmovies can broadly be of two kinds , the arty / avant - garde / indies and the commercial / masala , with the latter category frequently featuring big stars . both have a place in the world . what we find offensive in a film is if it\u2019s a crude piece of garbage that\u2019s not in the least entertaining or , worse , if it\u2019s stolen like a lot of indian films often are .\n2 . naseeruddin shah was a delight to watch in a wednesday . kamal haasan made a jackass of himself with his affected mannerisms and phony accent in unnaipol oruvan .\n3 . we agree with you that for the most part , the indian audience is not encouraging of non - trashy films . and that is a tragedy .\n4 . btw , we\u2019ve dedicated the above post to you with a note below the headline . we wanted to do it before we published it but it slipped our mind earlier . \ud83d\ude09\nhe may have been \u201ctailunted\u201d at some point in his career , but the man\u2019s efforts on the screen have been found more than wanting for a good while now .\n1 ) have you ever looked at an art of self indulgent artist ? they go deep , very deep and the art forms an experimental study to find answers to their doubts . a self indulgent artist is a person who perceives art as a medium to explore his ( and only his ) perceptions of reality . if you want one , watch lars von trier\u2019s anti christ . that is self indulgence and classy indulgence at that . kamal is not but there are very few movies where he was absolutely self indulgent , for example : mahanadhi , guna and anbe sivam . ( who ever said that it is a remake of planes , trains and automobiles , they live in a universe where casablanca is equated to gone with the wind because both movies are about love , black and white and set in the backdrop of a war )\n2 ) kamal was trying to become a whore like rajani , where rajani would stoop to that level of playing \u201chey hey super star \u201d at the intro of his movies . only thing is that rajani was an absolute whore and did not care for his feelings and all he thought that he was giving pleasure to people just like a whore does . he did not care about the artistic merits of his subject ( the movie ) or anything , all he did say was \u201d i like to give pleasure to my fans\u201d . he murdered his artistic pursuits to give pleasure to fans . i remember chiranjeevi ( who could have been a fantastic actor ever produced by telugu cinema , better than s . v . ranga rao ) feeling sorry for himself that he did not dare to act in movies like rudraveena later . . but rajani has no shame .\nkamal is a confused lot . he does not know whether he is creating movies for himself or for the people . he tries to create movies for the people but fails miserably ending up with a crappy piece in the end , because he did not leave his brain completely to the public service .\n3 ) kamal is the one who wanted to study gandhi and created hey ram out of it , that is self indulgence in thoughts .\nwhen self indulgence is coupled with aritistic integrity you get movies like hey ram , even though the indians did not get tickets to the movie as the movie was not entertaining . when ever kamal was truly self indulgent he produced master pieces . only when he tried to produce movies so that public could enjoy he failed miserably .\nit\u2019s the lack of self indulgence in thoughts that kamal is in the worst phase of his acting life . all he now wants is acceptance , acceptance from the public , shouting slogans of \u201culaga nayagan\u201d from the public but he doesn\u2019t know and probably can\u2019t make a movie like that .\ninteresting points , particularly the notion that self - indulgence is the driving force behind great cinema .\nthe same could be said of writers ( henry miller ) , painters ( picasso ) and sculptors ( henry moore ) too .\ni believe that in india there is a lack of ticket buying audience for artistic cinema . \u201chey ram\u201d to a large extent and \u201canbe sivam\u201d to a smaller extent belong in that category . kamal made these good movies with budgets disproportionate to the market worthiness and released it with insufficient publicity . i am probably over - simplifying it but in summary he made some poor choices with his movies despite lot of goodness .\nyou write : i believe that in india there is a lack of ticket buying audience for artistic cinema .\nindian movie business is currently in a great flux for a variety of reasons ( greater exposure to good foreign movies thanks to h1b / l visas and the internet resulting in higher expectations in some quarters , rising prosperity among the hitherto poor giving them access to movies , higher production costs , the urge to make movies for the global diaspora and more ) .\non the one - hand , you have the run of the mill crowd churning out the same stuff while on the other end of the spectrum you have directors like anurg kashyap , who make movies like dev d that we are inclined to believe are not flops ( business - wise ) .\nin these uncertain times , even established stars like akshay kumar struggle to deliver a hit . his crappy singh is king was a hit but the equally distasteful de dana dan , blue , thank you , tees mar khan and chandni chowk to china kissed the dust . go figure .\nin our not - so - humble opinion , this flux , which could last more than a decade , may signal the exit of more than a few indian film - makers .\ni should have been more specific . i had only the tamil film industry in mind . bollywood has been more progressive .\n@ naveen : \u201ci should have been more specific . i had only the tamil film industry in mind . bollywood has been more progressive\u201d\nno . all the hindi multiplex movies depict ( leaving a few out ) highly urbanized indian society or higher middle class indian society . ( this may be because most of the film makers are from that part of indian society ) . where as in tamil , i see a lot of experiments going on . i don\u2019t expect movies like azhagar sami kudirai in hindi . tamil movies actually explore deep down philosophical questions in movies too . ( for example , naan kadavul )\nyou write : all the hindi multiplex movies depict ( leaving a few out ) highly urbanized indian society or higher middle class indian society .\nso many prominent hindi films are set in the u . s . , uk or australia .\npatiala house , we are family , kurbaan , blue , my name is khan , kabhi alvida naa kehna , singh is king , salaam namaste , kabhi khushi kabhie gham and ta ra rum pum .\n\u201c1 ) have you ever looked at an art of self indulgent artist ? they go deep , very deep and the art forms an experimental study to find answers to their doubts . a self indulgent artist is a person who perceives art as a medium to explore his ( and only his ) perceptions of reality . if you want one , watch lars von trier\u2019s anti christ . that is self indulgence and classy indulgence at that . kamal is not but there are very few movies where he was absolutely self indulgent , for example : mahanadhi , guna and anbe sivam .

indulgence and bad self - indulgence ( ever seen \u201cbrown bunny\u201d ? ) , or a difference between the way kamal and von trier approach their films in terms of self - indulgence , i\u2019d suggest rethinking your rebuttal .\n\u201c2 ) kamal was trying to become a whore like rajani , where rajani would stoop to that level of playing \u201chey hey super star \u201d at the intro of his movies . only thing is that rajani was an absolute whore and did not care for his feelings and all he thought that he was giving pleasure to people just like a whore does . he did not care about the artistic merits of his subject ( the movie ) or anything , all he did say was \u201d i like to give pleasure to my fans\u201d . he murdered his artistic pursuits to give pleasure to fans . i remember chiranjeevi ( who could have been a fantastic actor ever produced by telugu cinema , better than s . v . ranga rao ) feeling sorry for himself that he did not dare to act in movies like rudraveena later . . but rajani has no shame . \u201d\ni don\u2019t think his whoring out has anything to do with my argument . he whored out a lot\u2026kalaignan , shoora samharam , singaravelan , etc . etc . are all \u201cwhore movies . \u201d even anthony hopkins has his stock of \u201cwhore movies . \u201d ever seen \u201cbad company\u201d \u201cmi -

beat film , succeeds because the producer and director gives much of the meat to the child and his family and relegates himself to a secondary , maybe even a tertiary role .\na hey raam fails because its producer / director / writer feels the need to shove himself in front of our faces , without allowing other characters to develop .\n\u201cit\u2019s the lack of self indulgence in thoughts that kamal is in the worst phase of his acting life . all he now wants is acceptance , acceptance from the public , shouting slogans of \u201culaga nayagan\u201d from the public but he doesn\u2019t know and probably can\u2019t make a movie like that . \u201d\nhis self - indulgence is exactly why his movies suck donkey d ! ck and they\u2019ve done so for well over a decade and change .\nif dasavatharam , vv , anbe sivam aren\u2019t examples of self - indulgence , i don\u2019t know what is .\n1 . from the perspective of the artiste , there\u2019s only one self - indulgence , a fierce commitment and adherence to his art as per his own lights ignoring all other considerations ( seemingly , an impossibility in large settings ) .\nnone of that good self - indulgence or bad self - indulgence , which are ex post facto views of critics on the end product rather than on the process .\nmore often than not , what critics consider bad self - indulgence is actually the subset of quality ( such as character development and other production values ) .\nwe\u2019d go as far as to say that self - indulgence in an artiste is not correlated to the ultimate success or failure of the project .\nraj kapoor\u2019s unwavering commitment to mera naam joker is an apt illustration of artistic self - indulgence that did not pan out commercially . the movie almost sank raj kapoor and only the stupendous success of his following movie bobby pulled him out of the financial pits that mera naam joker had cast him into .\nto argue that taare zameen par , despite being an off - beat film , succeeds because the producer and director gives much of the meat to the child and his family and relegates himself to a secondary , maybe even a tertiary role ignores the theme of the film that focused on the initial trauma of a dyslexic kid and his subsequent flowering under the aegis of a sensitive teacher . the script demanded the limelight to be cast on the kid first and foremost and only secondarily on the teacher .\nit\u2019d have looked bizarre for director aamir khan to have thrust himself into the film any more than he did .\nyou seem to be embracing the artistic notion of \u2018self - indulgence\u2019 literally in this instance .\n\u2014 no , there is no good self indulgence and bad self indulgence . i have seen brown bunny and i completely ( yes ) liked it . it is an example of self indulgence so much to persuade beautiful chloe to suck gallos di * * . \ud83d\ude42\nhey ram ? which character you want to develop more ? it was 3 hour movie , the journey of archeologist to gandhi killer wanna be was clearly shown . the movie was from saket ram\u2019s perspective . except for a slow screen play the movie had everything in it .\nin short , all his films were pathetic and flop because he is looking for public acceptance and nothing else . i\u2019d wish him to be make movies which gives him a kick irrespective of a public liking it or not .\nbut then the south indian market had to be huge . damn lazy and cowardly south indian ancestors , why didn\u2019t you colonize other parts of the world and forcibly made tamil an official language in those parts ? it would have solved many issues . the market would have been great , piracy should not mattered , artists would have load lots of money for a single movie ( this will avoid an artist to make 8 movies per year ) . it\u2019s all our south indian ancestors fault . \ud83d\ude42\nall that i tried to substantiate in the above note is that he is better of the worst indian lot ( read : upto the goddamn indian standards ) . that needn\u2019t hide the fact that his recent ventures like dasa , ma etc are absolute garbage . he is not even worthy to perform a light boy role in hollywood production system .\nyou write : i being an \u201cardent fan of him\u201d is too strong a word .\nkamal is the most complete actor indian cinema has ever seen . he is the best method actor available to indian film industry till date . for those who say kamal is good only in crying , his successful comedy movies chachi420 , panchantantram , pushpak , appu raja , mmkr , vasool raja etc is the reply to you all . even the so called great actor \u2013 sivaji ( his senior ) and today\u2019s contemporaries like vikram and surya didn\u2019t even try their hands on comedy . they are simply incomparable bachhas when compared to the caliber of kamal\u2019s commercial / humour quotient . can you imagine rajni and any of the above actors capable of delivering crazy mohan\u2019s dialogues with such comic timing and elegance as kamal did in the above said movies ?\nso , correct your opinion about kamal . he is not only good in crying but also will entertain you in comedy , dance as well . he is an wholesome entertainer . and those who compare naseeruddin , anupam kher , om puri etc with the calibre of kamal , can anyone of them romance with today\u2019s heroines singing duets running around trees without looking awkward ? can they be crowd pullers with their star power ? they are jut character actors . they cannot play lead role / hero . see his personality today even at the age of 55 !\nand after all the encomiums you\u2019ve heaped on kamal haasan ( he can cry , he can laugh , he can run around trees , all truly great feats , of course ) you dare to say that you are not an ardent way of kamal .\nthat\u2019 s probably becoz indian cinema has set such low standards in acting that when you find some thing like kamal\u2019s performance , you associate that to be oscar - worthy . my point is why he should alone be blamed when he is not even enjoying the luxury / status of box - office kings like rajni , vijay , ajith etc who does not even know the a , b , c\u2019s of acting . does he deserve a fourth / fifth ranking in gollywood box office inspite of giving some memorable performances like sadma , nayagan etc ? ( read indian standards ) .\ni don\u2019t claim his entertainment / humour quotient is as good as johnny\u2019s but he is neither that bad too .\n@ prasath . j : \u201che is not even worthy to perform a light boy role in hollywood production system . \u201d\nyes , in the same generalization as an indian or persons with indian blood or not even worthy to be a maid or a butt cleaner to an average american .\nyes , they are entertainers , as are \u2018sathi leelavathi\u2019 , singaravelan , kadhalaa kadhalaa , etc . , but save for pushpak ( which , thankfully , was a silent movie ) , we weren\u2019t spared of his histrionics in any of those offerings . he just finds it necessary to contort , bawl , laugh , or even fart in a manner that is best described as ott .\n@ prasath , via si : \u201ckamal is the most complete actor indian cinema has ever seen . he is the best method actor available to indian film industry till date . \u201d\nthe man wouldn\u2019t know method - acting if it slapped him across his face . case in point - both his characters in thevar magan and mmkr are supposedly london - educated entrepreneurs , who speak in a ( horrible ) american accents . the less i speak about his character in \u201cunnapol oruvan\u201d vis - a - vis method - acting , the better and in \u201cvarumayin niram sivappu , \u201d the man looks pretty well - fed for someone deep in poverty and hunger ."]}

style plots had dominated indian television soaps . instead of following this trend , balaji conducted research and tv shows and viewers . balaji ' s research showed that the reach of fiction - based shows was about 60 % and that they appealed to women across regions and languages . . .\nthe idea was to create a small but radical brand for the banner she launched lsd with : alt entertainment . \u201cjust as with tv , we broke the clutter by introducing something that nobody had seen before . i wanted to introduce alt with a small film with a large concept . the production should scream , i thought . \u201d dibakar banerjee , the director of the film , had her convinced the first time he narrated the story to her . \u201cthe dog -

by turning the above mess into a discourse with its own kind of necessity , wasting nothing . bazin might not have been the source of the film ' s opening quote , but as the socratic inquisitor into what cinema was , he should have been . the broken rhythms of the storytelling in contempt and the frequent slippages between stars and characters , characters and caricatures , films and ideas about films , incidents and ideas about incidents all point to innovative ways of thinking , as godard enters the material from different angles to tease out its hidden meanings . and if these meanings take the form of a cubist mosaic rather than a linear narrative or argument , that ' s because stories and essays take us only part of the way in perceiving the modern world and its contradictions .\n\u201cfinding out i was bipolar was like figuring out the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle , \u201d explained good over the phone from his vancouver home base . \u201conce i knew what the problem was , the doctors prescribed the right medication and i eventually got things back under control . \u201d\ncreated in the early 1930\u2019s by dali himself , the \u201cparanoid - critical\u201d method is a surrealist method used to help an artist tap into their subconscious through systematic irrational thought and a self - induced paranoid state . by inducing this paranoid state one can forego one\u2019s previous notions , concepts , and understanding of the world and reality in order to view the world in new , different and more unique ways . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] after his self - induced paranoid state , dali would then paint what he had witnessed , creating what he referred to as , \u201chand painted dream photographs . \u201d [ 3 ] . dali used his \u201cparanoid critical\u201d method to relate objects that were otherwise unrelated . he did this through the use of optical illusions and juxtaposing images . while using these techniques , it was very important to dali to maintain his artistic integrity by painting realistically , dali said , \u201cmy whole ambition in the pictorial domain is to materialize the images of my concrete irrationality with the most imperialist fury of precision . . . \u201d [ 1 ] . dali believed that when people viewed his work , there was a subjective understanding of his work as the subconscious has a symbolic universal language . simply viewing his work would evoke the mind of the viewer to experience unconscious acts .\nduring the 1995 - 1996 television season , sinatra was offered the role of vic fontaine on star trek : deep space nine . despite being a fan of the show and finding the role interesting , he turned it down , declaring that he only wanted to play an alien .

[ 14 ]\nin countless other ways godard calls attention to his technique , thereby preventing us from simply following the story as story : he moves the camera back and forth between the quarreling paul and camille , periodically cuts to seemingly unmotivated flashbacks , fantasies , and even a flash - forward ( most of which account for the three minutes deleted in the original american release ) , and even adds a blue or red filter in the middle of takes .\nin 1989 , sinatra sang\nwedding vows in vegas\non the acclaimed was ( not was ) album , what up , dog ? , later performing the song with the band on late night with david letterman .\ngood is joined on the record by vocalist holly mcnarland who plays a predominant role on tracks like \u201ccloudbursting\u201d , \u201ckid down the well\u201d and \u201ccold water\u201d . \u201c\u00ec realized i needed a female vocalist and when i came to toronto i discovered holly was hanging around and was available , \u201c explained good . ` holly and i go back about 20 years , our vocals are totally in sync together and it just worked out . she not only came in to the sessions with her parts nailed down but she also had multiple , constructive ideas about the arrangements . after we finished the sessions , she suggested we should start our own band . \u201d\nin hong kong , the ambassador returning to america meets the russian countess , a refugee without a passport , who decides to hide in his cabin .\nan almost madcap comic pace battles with thundercloud - building drama . . . the social commentary can be earnest and bald , with the mythic overtones seemingly contrived to tumble o ' leary into the class gap on his arse .\nthe band\u2019s initial three albums may have hit gold and platinum sales targets and collected three juno awards in the process but an internal personality clash between good and genn split the band in 2001 right after the release of \u201cthe audio of being\u201d . \u201ci placated david a lot on publishing issues that maybe he didn\u2019t deserve , \u201d noted good . \u201cthis caused contention with other members and in the end we were four people who really didn\u2019t get along . \u201d\ni just bought this muscle massager . it works great . five minutes using this stick feels better than many hour long massages that i ' ve received . i do kickboxing and am a black belt in martial arts . i know a thing or two about sore muscles . this massager hits the sore places and is easy to manipulate so that you can use it by yourself or with a partner . definitely worth the money .\nsal mineo played a struggling singer bobby george in honolulu , hawaii . he gets kidnapped one night . his father is a wealthy hotel owner in new york city . bobby ' s kid napping gets coverage and publicity . bobby and his kidnappers are in on the kidnapping to get publicity for his career . when it goes too far , bobby is trapped by his greedy kidnappers who turn on him . the episode like all in this series was well crafted for the viewers . sal munro gives a worthy performance here .\nsinatra was kidnapped , at the age of 19 , on december 8 , 1963 at harrah ' s lake tahoe ( room 417 ) .

artist for visual effects , contributing to many marvel blockbusters ( ant - man , guardians of the galaxy , captain america , and many more ) along with films that resonated deep in him such as prisoners ( denis villeneuve ) , true grit and serious man ( coen brothers ) . over the past few years , his work gradually shifted from illustration and 3d to photography and film making . in directing his own projects , zimmermann finds a medium that allows for collaborative work while giving him a wide range of tools to experiment with - his experience as a photographer and as an illustrator have a direct impact on his cinematography and his understanding and practice of the digital tools allow him to tackle any subject . his main inspiration leans toward independent cinema ( with a real love for the 70 ' s ) . with a few music videos behind him ( including the 15 min long time washes everything away for dirty beaches ) , and documentaries ( gamma wray , a solitary mann ) freshly wrapped up , loic zimmermann is already in pre - production with a few new projects .\nshe made her acting debut with the 2005 telugu film super , which garnered her a filmfare best supporting actress \u2013 telugu nomination . the following year , she starred in s . s . rajamouli ' s vikramarkudu , which went to become a major commercial success . her further releases lakshyam and souryam , and chintakayala ravi were also box office successes . in 2009 , shetty played dual roles in the dark fantasy arundhati , which garnered her critical acclaim and several awards , including her first filmfare award for best actress \u2013 telugu , nandi award , cinemaa award for best actress . the following year , shetty ' s portrayal of a prostitute in the acclaimed drama vedam won her a second consecutive best actress award from filmfare and cinemaa award . following the success of a series of films , she established herself as one of the leading actresses of telugu cinema .\nthere\u2019s plenty to roll your eyes about in jithan 2 . surya\u2019s dad , whose death is almost a parody , tells him as he\u2019s dying that his dream is to buy a house . you\u2019re dying a sudden death , and you say that ? everybody , i repeat , everybody , talks to the audience in asides . there isn\u2019t much by way of logic either . in one scene , characters drink during the night , but are subsequently shown dancing in the day . the ghost , a woman ( srushti dange ) , suddenly , for no reason , warms up to surya . when surya gets unhinged mentally , it is cured when a tennis ball hits him squarely on the head . but i suppose all this can be forgiven in a film whose ghost is so bored in the bungalow that it is shown dancing alone to a song in taal . i wish i were making this up , but i\u2019m not . rahman apparently is so good now that he can make even grief -

familiar movie about a common man taking on a powerful rowdy .\nthiru ( nandha ) leads a happy life with his mother ( seetha ) , sister and grandmother . a misunderstanding during election time leads to thiru bashing up the brother of the city ' s all - powerful\n, varma ( biju menon ) . an enraged varma is ready to kill thiru but the politician ( ilavarasu ) who is planning to win the election with varma ' s help , asks him to wait until the elections are done , to have his revenge . so varma agrees to wait and lets thiru know in no uncertain terms that his days are numbered . but when the time comes , thiru finally decides to fight back .\ninitially has a protagonist who runs away from trouble instead of going around looking for it . nandha ' s backing down when the bad guys want to sticks posters on the walls , is a nice move that makes him a down - to - earth - and hence , more believable - hero . but it doesn ' t last long . once he is pushed a little more , he turns into a regular hero with a cinematic fight sequence where he single - handedly takes on a number of goons . this turnaround is a little disappointing and gives us an idea about exactly where the movie is going .\nin a movie like this , where a common man decides to go up against someone more powerful than him , the hero does need to undergo some troubles to earn our sympathy and get us on his side . the director of\nhas understood this but doesn ' t know where to stop and overdoes it . as biju menon ' s men keep torturing nandha and his family , the troubles the family undergoes cross the line from earning our sympathy to feeling gratuitous . since its very clear that nandha will clash with varma at some point , the troubles that varma ' s goons put him through is essentially buildup and it feels needlessly stretched and tests our patience .\nthere are a few attempts ( like his visit to biju menon to ask for his forgiveness for beating up his brother and his agreeing to run away ) to once again make nandha a believable hero . but since we know nandha can ' t be pushed too much and knows to fight , these attempts don ' t work as well as before . but the director does succeed in creating a sense of dread as the deadline ( in a very literal sense ! ) nears for biju menon to kill nandha .\nthe movie gets some much - needed energy as nandha decides to go after biju menon . but nandha is unable to bring to the table , what is needed to successfully carry off the role of the angry young man . his challenge to biju menon , which should have been a rousing scene that energizes the viewer , is delivered weakly ( even seetha ' s inspiring speech to him before this scene is more energetic and has more impact ) and is far from being the strong shot of adrenaline that the movie needs after the downbeat happenings so far . his plans show some thought rather than relying on simply brawn but most of them are simply too convenient and hence , fail to excite us .\nnandha is able to fight convincingly but his body language and voice let him down . he lacks the screen presence and charisma to carry the viewer along in scenes where he clashes with biju menon . hardeep singh is barely on screen for enough time for the viewer to even get an opinion about her . and she manages to participate in a vulgar romance in that time too ! biju menon tries hard but isn ' t able to convey the terror that would be instilled by a rowdy of his nature . vivek , seen after a long time , has a couple of funny routines while ilavarasu has a few funny lines inspite of being a bad guy .\ntamil full movie | thamizhan | full hd movie | ft . vijay , priyanka chopra\ntamil super hit movie | kodambakkam [ hd ] | romantic comedy movie | ft . nandha , diya\nour historic importance ' s in 7am arivu show in vijaytv by surya and gopi . wmv\nrekka -

small hillocks surrounding nagarbhavi make it look like a well .\njayanagar : jayanagar literally means\nvictory city\n. one school of thought is that the name symbolizes the maharaja of mysore\u2019s first name\njayachamaraja\n. the foundation of jayanagar was laid in 1948 . it was one of the first planned neighbourhoods in bangalore and at the time , the largest in asia .\nulsoor : this area is close to mg road in bengaluru . it is the place where first british military station was set up . there used to be a jackfruit orchard near the ulsoor lake , and the kannada name for jackfruit being \u2018halasina hannu\u2019 , the area came to be known as halasuru . during the british rule , the name was anglicised to ' ulsoor ' .\nmajestic : this area acquired its name from a nearby popular cinema theatre by the same name . the majestic bus station , which is the major bus terminal is bengaluru is located on the site of the dharmambudhi lake , which dried up in the early 20th century .\nmalleswaram : this popular residential area in bengaluru derives its name from the famous kadu malleswara temple , which is located in the same area . it was developed as a planned suburb after the great plague of 1898 . which caused many people to move out of the city center . malleswaram is now almost the city centre .\nyelahanka : the city of yelahanka had been in existence prior to 12th century . the region was called ' ilaipakka naadu ' during the rule of cholas . later , during hoysala rein , the city came to be known as ' elavanka ' and gradually shifted to ' yelahanka '\nvidyaranyapura : vidyaranyapura is a colony that was formed in the late 1970s . it was formerly owned by a rich landlord , who still owns a large mango garden called dinshaw estate . legends suggest that it may have been a battlefield . the township is named after the great kannada poet , saint and priest , vidyaranya .\nkodigehalli : kodigehalli is so called because it was a gift from the king to a resident of that area , who fed him . in kannada , kodige means gift .\nthis government guest house is situated on palace road , near manikyavelu mansion , which houses the national gallery of modern arts . the latter bears the name of manikyavelu mudaliar , who bought it from the mysore royal family . as to the origin of the former\u2019s name , two competing theories exist . one , that it was given the name by ali asker , and that the name is a corruption of the farsi \u201cbala beravi\u201d , or \u201cmay you rise higher\u201d . a more likely explanation , however , is that the name is a tribute to mark cubbon\u2019s origins in the isle of man , where even today a few roads by the same name exist . in manx gaelic , the word means \u201cfarm on the river bank\u201d .\nseshadri iyer , who served as diwan of mysore in the late 1880s and early 1900s , was part of a number of interrelated developments , all of which shaped the city we now know as bangalore . he promoted the shivanasamudra hydroelectric project , which brought general electric to the region . the kolar gold fields began to be powered in 1902 , and in 1905 , bangalore , by virtue of proximity , became the first city in india to receive electric supply . iyer also convinced krishnaraja wodeyar iv to donate land to establish a scientific institute in the city \u2013 the offer of land and an electric supply gave bangalore the edge over bombay , because of which jamsetji tata chose the city to set up the iisc in 1909 . during his time , iyer also had to combat an outbreak of the bubonic plague epidemic in 1898 . as part of measures to prevent the spread of the disease , he established the localities of basavanagudi and malleswaram . this process was less than equitable , and saw protests by members of the upper classes and castes when attempts were made to include the poor and lower castes .\nph benson was a british surgeon who also served as superintendent of the central jail . gh cooke was a collector and president of the municipal commission during the 1920s . d\u2019costa layout , within cooke town , is named after the gentleman who laid it out , a carlos d\u2019costa , who was known to be a skilled town planner .\nthe question of renaming of maciver town as shantala nagar was moot ; neither are used today to refer to the locality that contains the city\u2019s best known ( and most expensive ) neighbourhoods , including mg road , lavelle road and vittal mallya road . the former name honoured lj maciver , collector and president of the municipal commission of the civil and military station between 1934 and 1937 . maciver also served as president of the bangalore club in 1935 - 36 .\nthe area , the circle and the road are all named after a gentleman named richmond ( we couldn\u2019t trace his first name ) , a barrister for the british government who was based in madras . the area was officially renamed mirza ismail nagar , after the diwan of mysore from 1926 to 1941 , who was also ali asker\u2019s grandson . ismail was a man ahead of his time . in 1946 , thanks to his efforts , his plan for the retrocession of land in the city which had been occupied by the british was approved . however , after independence , the land fell under the authority of the newly formed mysore state , which then merged with the union of india .\none of india\u2019s earliest test pilots , suranjan das was part of the team that tested the first aircraft designed by the hal , the ht - 2 , which was launched in 1951 . ( it was a training plane intended for the air force , and was used for almost 40 years . it was also the first aircraft to be exported . ) das also travelled around the world testing aircraft and advising the indian government on which models to purchase . he was killed in 1970 , during a test flight , following which the road connecting the main complex of hal ( now on old airport road ) to its engine division ( on old madras road ) was renamed in his honour . das\u2019s wife , veronica loveless , died on december 28 last year .\nin 1803 , the british east india company defeated the maratha confederacy in the battle of assaye , now in maharashtra . in the battle , the british were assisted by indian infantry regiments , of which one survives today \u2013 the madras engineers group ( it has gone through several changes in name over the centuries ) . the regiment was awarded an honour for the achievement , but after independence , the assaye honour , along with a few others , was declared \u201crepugnant\u201d by the indian government , since it celebrated the victory of a colonial power over an indian resistance . thus the assaye honour can no longer be displayed on flags and uniforms , nor can the victory be celebrated . the memory of the battle , however , lives on in a winding strip of road adjoining wheeler road ( which probably got its name from general john wheeler cleveland , an officer of the british army , after whom cleveland town is also named ) near the meg base .\nthe fact that an anglo - indian settlement founded in 1882 would be called whitefield might reek of political incorrectness today . but in fact the name was not a territorial assertion at all \u2013 the settlement was founded by an anglo - indian gentleman named des white , president of the anglo - indian association of madras , who had somewhat utopian visions for its future as a farming village without divided property ownership . whatever the merits of the idea , he must have pitched it well , since krishnaraja wodeyar iv granted him close to 4 , 000 acres of land to realise it .\none of seshadri iyer\u2019s projects as diwan of mysore was to provide the region with a steady supply of water ( until 1894 , people relied on local tanks and lakes ) . he conceived of a project he called the chamarajendra water works , intended to draw water to the city from the hessaraghatta lake , situated on the arkavathi river . the project , which continued to supply water to the city for almost three decades , was executed by the then chief engineer of mysore , mc hutchins .\nbefore it became a covered market , the area on which russell market now stands was a dry lake bed , which was often used for an open air market . the market is now named after tb russell , an officer of the indian civil services , who proposed the project . it was designed by wh murphy ( after whom murphy town is named ) and opened in 1927 , in a ceremony which cost r269 . 80 to put together .\n\u2013 this knotty junction , as well as the hudson memorial church nearby , built in 1904 , are named after the missionary joshua hudson .\n\u2013 kt bhashyam , who has two circles in the city named after him , was a businessman who was involved in attempts to organise mill workers in the 1920s .\n\u2013 mudaliar was a small - time vegetable trader from tamil nadu whose businesses grew rapidly . he later became a key figure in the construction of the attara kacheri .\n\u2013 mekhri was a civic - minded businessman who levelled the road from hebbal to the city . he was also a freedom fighter who spent time in jail with the likes of c rajagopalachari .\nthe establishment of the cantonment in the city would result in vast sections of the city acquiring english names . many of these have been officially changed back to local names over the years , but to little avail \u2013 most of the old british names in the city have remained in use .\nnames with the word \u201cchamaraj\u201d or \u201ckrishnaraj\u201d in it are a tribute to the wodeyar kings . although the dynasty ( and the names ) existed many centuries earlier , names like chamarajpet , krishnarajapuram and jayachamarajendra road are in honour of the last kings of the dynasty , who ruled between 1799 and 1950 .\nthe chieftain of yelahanka now lends his name to a road , a locality and a bus terminus . the origin of the names of all the pete areas ( balepet , nagarthpet , chikpet ) date to this era , and refer to the fort that kempegowda built .\nnames that end with \u201csandra\u201d and \u201cmangala\u201d probably belong to this period . \u201csandra\u201d could refer to the \u201csamudras\u201d or water tanks of the chola period . \u201cmangala\u201d is probably derived from the \u201cchaturvedi mangalams\u201d , the name for an administrative unit during this period .\nlearn how your dna influences your facial features , taste , smell and other traits .\ni am sure many of you have wondered at least once why city ' s main bus stand is called as\nmajestic\nby everyone though it is not the official name .\nthe bus station was initially called\nmajestic bus station\nor\nmajestic\nbecause of a popular cinema theatre of the same name nearby . it was later changed to\nmalleshwara ( called malleshwaram in english - i honestly don ' t know why the extra ' m ' in the end ) got its name , because of\nkaadu malleshwara\ntemple , which is believed to be the oldest temple in bangalore .\nbasavanagudi has a similar story . the area got its name because of the bull temple there .\ninfact , many areas / localities in bangalore are named to honor some of the major contributors to india .\nhalli is kannada word for village you may see a lot of places ending with halli in bangalore and karnataka ( bommanahalli , marathahalli , hoskerahalli etc ) hosa means new in kannada and you can get to see places with that ( hosa road , hosangadi etc ) kere means lake in kannada so places which have some lake around tend to get kere with name ( tavarakere , arekere , arsikere ) also one can see kempegowda being used in front of majestic bus stand ' s name and airport ' s names , for a moment many . think that it will be some politician of region but he was the great warrior in mysore kings armada who established bangalore . some interesting place facts are few abbreviated places of bangalore , such as jp nagar btm and hsr layouts ! ! actually btm stands . f or byrasandra tavarekere and madivala layout where as hsr means hosur sarjapur road layout and jp nagar is respect to jayaprakash narayanan the loknayak ! !\nvyhaali is the kannada word for a horse . kaaval means to guard . during the time when bangalore was ruled by kings , there were a lot of stables in this area near malleshwaram . as stables are the places where horses are guarded , this place came to be known as vyhaali - kaaval . the name later got modified to vyalikaval .\nmadiwala in kannada means a washerman . years when bangalore ended in jayanagar , this area was full of washermen and hence the area got the same name . btm layout actually stands for bommanahalli madiwala tavarekere , the three villages at the outskirts of bangalore at one point in time . b does not stand for byrasandra or bannerghatta .\nthe area around thimmaiah road , between queen ' s road and kamaraj road , is called black pally . the shivaji nagar bus stand and surrounding areas was a big lake over 150 years ago . this used to attract a lot of water birds , which , usually , are white . the town bordering the lake , therefore , was named after these birds . it was called bili hakki halli , which when transliterated is white birds village ( surely no pun intended ) . bili hakki halli was clearly not going to roll on a british tongue . therefore it was\nimprovised\n( corrupted ? ) to black pally . the name , though , is no longer used . it only exists on a government school board in that place , as far as i can remember .\njayanagar 4th\nt\nblock . has anyone ever wondered why this additional t for the area ? before renaming the area as jayanagar to make it sound urban , its name was\nthayappanahalli\n. hence to respect the locals and honor the original name the area was renamed to\njayanagar 4th - t block\n.\ndodda ( big ) isn ' t a telugu word . the word for big in telugu is pedda . also , just because the word kundi also means an ass in kannada ( which might seem distasteful to some , lol ) it doesn ' t mean it won ' t have other meanings . etymologically speaking , kundi / gundi are both words which mean a ditch . so doddanekundi literally means a big ditch where one trapped elephants . pedda nakka vacchindi seems far fetched .\nas for domlur , the word\ndommalu\nmeans noise / commotion / crowd in kannada . according to the kannada sahitya parishat dictionary . it could be the mosquito one too . but that seems like a forced attempt to establish a cosmopolitan nature to a locality which only recently got engulfed into the larger city of bangalore .\nhegganahalli : this name came up just because there were more hegganas ( voles ) in here . when i was small , i was afraid going outside in evening and night just because of them . there were atleast 7 to 8 of them next to my home itself .\nsunkadakatte : my grandpa used to say that this was like a tollgate which was next to lake and in kannada sunka means tax and katte means lake .\nfew people know that btm layout actually an abbreviation of byrasandra , tavarekere and madiwala layout .\nchik - pete : the small street . chikka means small . dodda - pete : the big street . dodda means big / large .\nyou might ' ve heard of\nmalgudi days\n. the\nmal\nof malgudi days was taken from malleshwaram and the\ngudi\nwas taken from basavanagudi . : )\nhe led one of the most important administrations in india ' s modern history , overseeing a major economic transformation and several incidents affecting national security .\nlaunched india ' s free market reforms that brought the nearly bankrupt nation back from the edge .\nof modern india for his ability to steer tough economic and political legislation through the parliament at a time when he headed a minority government .\nrao ' s term as prime minister proved an eventful one in india ' s history . besides marking a paradigm shift from the socialist based nehruvian style of economy to a market driven one , his years as prime minister also saw the emergence of the bjp , a major right wing party , as an alternative to rao ' s congress , which had been governing india for most of its post - independence history . rao ' s term also oversaw the destruction of the babri mosque in ayodhya which triggered one of the worst hindu muslim riots in the country since its independence .\npolitical isolation , due to his association with corruption charges , marked rao ' s later life . before his death in 2004 , rao had been acquitted on all charges . he died after a heart attack in new delhi , his remains cremated in hyderabad . [ 7 ]\np . v . ranga rao , rao ' s father , belonged to a wealthy telugu brahmin family from a village called vangara ( pedda ) in the karimnagar district of andhra pradesh , india . [ 8 ]\nrao studied at the osmania university and at the universities of mumbai and nagpur where he obtained bachelor ' s and master ' s degrees in law . [ 9 ] a polyglot , he could speak 13 languages including urdu , marathi , kannada , hindi , telugu and english with a fluency akin to a native speaker . [ 10 ] his mother tongue had been telugu . as well as seven indian languages , he spoke english , french , arabic , spanish and persian . [ 11 ] along with his cousin pamulaparthi sadasiva rao , rao edited a telugu weekly magazine called kakatiya patrika from 1948 to 1955 .\na freedom fighter , rao had been active during the indian independence movement and joined full time politics after independence as a member of the indian national congress . rao served brief stints in the cabinet ( 1962 - 1971 ) and as chief minister of the state of andhra pradesh ( 1971 - 1973 ) .\nwhen the indian national congress split in 1969 , rao remained loyal to prime minister indira gandhi and stayed so during the emergency period ( 1975 - 1977 ) . he rose to national prominence in 1972 by handling several diverse portfolios , most significantly home , defence and foreign affairs ( 1980 - 1984 ) , in the cabinets of both indira gandhi and rajiv gandhi . speculation ran high that he had been considered for the post of india ' s president along with zail singh in 1982 . [ 12 ]\nrao came close to retiring from politics in 1991 , the assassination of the congress president rajiv gandhi prompting him to make a comeback . [ 13 ] as the congress had received the largest number of seats in the 1991 elections , he had the opportunity to head the minority government as prime minister . he had been the first person outside the nehru - gandhi family to serve as prime minister for five continuous years , the first to hail from south india and so the first from the state of andhra pradesh . [ 14 ] since rao ran uncontested the general elections , he now participated in a bye - election to join the parliament . he won election from nandyal with a victory margin of a record 5 lakh votes , the guinness book of world records recording his win . [ 15 ] [ 16 ] his cabinet included sharad pawar , himself a strong contender for the pm ' s job , as defence minister . he also broke convention by appointing an economist , manmohan singh as his finance minister . ( earlier only politicians had occupied that post . )\nmost indians consider rao ' s major achievement the liberalization of the indian economy , launching of india ' s emergence as a great power . his reforms had been adopted to avert impending international default in 1991 . [ 17 ] the reforms progressed furthest in the areas of opening up to foreign investment , reforming capital markets , deregulating domestic business , and reforming the trade regime . rao set the goals to reduce the fiscal deficit , privatize the public sector , and increase investment in infrastructure . he led trade reform and changes in the regulation of foreign direct investment to open india to foreign trade while stabilizing external loans . rao ' s finance minister , manmohan singh , a trained economist , played a central role in implementing those reforms .\nmajor reforms in india ' s capital markets led to an influx of foreign portfolio investment . the major economic policies adopted by rao include :\nabolishing in 1992 the controller of capital issues which decided the prices and number of shares that firms could issue . [ 18 ] [ 19 ]\nintroducing the sebi act of 1992 and the security laws ( amendment ) which gave sebi the legal authority to register and regulate all security market intermediaries . [ 20 ]\nopening in 1992 of india ' s equity markets to investment by foreign institutional investors and permitting indian firms to raise capital on international markets by issuing global depository receipts ( gdrs ) . [ 21 ]\nstarting in 1994 of the national stock exchange as a computer - based trading system which served as an instrument to leverage reform of india ' s other stock exchanges . the nse emerged as india ' s largest exchange by 1996 . [ 22 ]\nreducing tariffs from an average of 85 percent to 25 percent , and rolling back quantitative controls . ( the rupee became convertible on trade account . ) [ 23 ]\nencouraging foreign direct investment by increasing the maximum shares of foreign capital in joint ventures from 40 to 51 percent with 100 percent foreign equity permitted in priority sectors . [ 24 ]\nstreamlining procedures for fdi approvals , and in at least thirty five industries , automatically approving projects within the limits for foreign participation . [ 25 ]\nthe impact of those reforms led to the total foreign investment ( including foreign direct investment , portfolio investment , and investment raised on international capital markets ) in india growing from a minuscule us $ 132 million in 1991 - 92 to $ 5 . 3 billion in 1995 - 96 . [ 26 ]\nrao began industrial policy reforms with the manufacturing sector . he slashed industrial licensing , leaving only eighteen industries subject to licensing . industrial regulation rationalized . [ 27 ]\nrao energized the national nuclear security and ballistic missiles program , which ultimately resulted in the 1998 pokhran nuclear tests . some have speculated that the tests had been planned in 1995 , during rao ' s term in office . [ 28 ] he increased military spending , and set the indian army on course to fight the emerging threat of terrorism and insurgencies , as well as pakistan and china ' s nuclear potentials . during his term , terrorism in the indian state of punjab finally ended . [ 29 ] scenarios of plane hijackings , which occurred during rao ' s time ended without the government conceding the terrorists ' demands . [ 30 ] he directed negotiations to secure the release of doraiswamy , an indian oil executive , from kashmiri terrorists who kidnapped him , [ 31 ] and liviu radu , a romanian diplomat posted in new delhi in october 1991 , kidnapped by sikh terrorists . [ 32 ] rao also handled the indian response to the occupation of the hazratbal holy shrine in jammu and kashmir by pakistan - sponsored terrorists in october 1993 . [ 33 ] he brought the occupation to an end without damage to the shrine . similarly , he dealt with the kidnapping of some foreign tourists by a terrorist group called al faran in kashmir in 1995 effectively . although he failed to secure the release of the hostages , his policies ensured that the terrorists demands went unmet , and that the international community , even pakistan , condemned the action .

range pollutant transport because pollutants distributed to higher altitudes usually encounter stronger winds that provide rapid transport to distant locations . atmospheric stability , controlled by how temperature varies with height , determines whether vertical transport will be slow or rapid . after emission , pollutants may undergo chemical transformation , be subjected to depletion processes such as particle scavenging and dry or wet deposition , or mix into the atmosphere to become a component of the background concentration . this appendix provides a general description of the atmosphere and a synopsis of air circulation and weather patterns that influence the distribution of air pollutants .\n[ 1 ] international air transport association ( iata ) , fact sheet : world industry statistics , www . iata . org .\nthe busyness of modern airspace poses significant challenges for air traffic controllers . but help could be on the horizon \u2013 from space .\nas stated earlier , united has a system of fare codes , and the fare code for upgrades for most customers is r . however , for those in global services , upgrades clear into the pn fare code . this means that global services have much better chances of upgrading than everyone else , though pn is not always available \u2014 particularly for flights with high demand .\nair travel has substantially increased since the creation of the eu ' s single aviation market 25 years ago . the number of daily flights has increased from less than 10 , 000 in 1992 to around 23 , 000 in 2016 . in addition passengers now have access to more destinations . today there are around 7 , 400 routes compared to less than 2 , 700 in 1992 .\nmeilinger ' s research team developed software for climate -

level air flows toward the west along the north ( cold side ) of the surface warm frontal position . during part of this route , the wcb is overhead . as cold air approaches the center of the cyclone the air begins to ascend into the middle troposphere while making a clockwise loop , eventually reversing direction and combining with the wcb in the upper troposphere . the role of the cold conveyor belt in transporting pollutants aloft has received relatively little attention .\nsome 100 , 000 flights take off and land every day across the world . if you\u2019re struggling to visualize this incredible volume of daily air traffic , this animated map might help put it into perspective .\nthe jet streams are important distributors of air pollutants for two reasons . they create major areas of air exchange between the troposphere and stratosphere . and the strong winds of the jet stream can rapidly transport pollutants . for example , if one assumes an average wind speed of 35 m s \u2013 1 ( ~ 70 kt ) at 40\u00b0 latitude , an eastward -

section of mean potential temperature ( k ) from 30\u00b0 n to the north pole . note that the isentropes slope upward toward the pole . air parcels move along isentropic surfaces when no heat energy is added or subtracted .\nit often is important to determine the source of air pollution at a specific location or where pollution from a given source will be located in the future . the basic concept is simple if one has an accurate four - dimensional ( x , y , z , t ) representation of temperature and wind . one simply uses the data to advect air parcels backward or forward over increments of time . accurately applying this concept is very difficult because of the myriad types and scales of processes that affect transport .\neuropean air connectivity in international air transport is equally dependent on foreign and eu airlines . when flying to or from the eu , all air carriers are granted the same rights . this may not always be the case for eu airlines when operating outside of the eu . in the absence of international rules , eu airlines may be subject to practices affecting competition . in the long run this could also affect the eu ' s connectivity , impacting the union ' s competitiveness and limiting the choices of travellers . the commission is therefore proposing a new tool to ensure that eu airlines can compete on the basis of equal opportunities and connectivity can be safeguarded . it will allow the eu to take appropriate action , should certain practices put the eu\u2019s connectivity at risk .\nover the course of two weeks , the international civil aviation organization ( icao ) will be struggling with a big question : how can aviation ' s co2 emissions be reduced - even as air travel continues to grow worldwide ? ( 26 . 09 . 2016 )\nan important characteristic of free tropospheric air movement is that air parcels experiencing no exchange of heat energy conserve their potential temperature and thus move along surfaces of constant potential temperature ( isentropic surfaces ) . exceptions are regions of cloud cover where radiative processes and water vapor phase changes can be major sources or sinks of heat . in addition , air parcels in the surface boundary layer undergo temperature changes due to exchanges of radiation with earth\u2019s surface . isentropic surfaces slope upward toward the north , with isentropic values increasing vertically ( figure b . 2 ) . as a result poleward moving air conserving its potential temperature tends to ascend , while equatorward - moving air tends to sink . this concept has applications for pollution transport into the arctic ( stohl et al . , 2006 ; law and stohl , 2007 ) . specifically , pollution - laden parcels beginning at low altitudes and heading north that conserve their potential temperature will ascend to the middle troposphere . conversely , for low - level parcels to remain near the surface during northward excursions , they either must be very cold initially or undergo considerable loss of heat due to passing over ice - covered surfaces , especially during the long polar winter seasons . northern eurasia is sufficiently cold that its pollutants can be transported quasi - horizontally to the arctic , making it a major source of arctic pollution during winter .\nanother priority is to enhance the efficiency of european skies by reducing its fragmentation , which is responsible for eur 3 billion of extra costs a year and 50 million tonnes of co 2 , and by minimising air traffic disruption . today the commission is therefore inviting member states and aviation stakeholders to consider a number of good practices to ensure air service continuity in the event of industrial action . these practices do not question the fundamental right to strike , but rather aim to improve service continuity and minimise disruption to the european network for airlines and passengers . between 2005 and 2016 , more than 243 , 000 flights were cancelled due to industrial action in air traffic management , affecting around 27 million passengers . the good practices put forward by the commission draw on a number of existing practices across the eu member states .\nretired air vice - marshal thomas a . lawrence , leader of the 1927 - 28 aerial survey expedition to ungava bay and the hudson strait reminisces on the early days of canadian aviation ( in general ) and the challenges of flying under arctic conditions ( in particular ) .\nthe arctic lower troposphere is isolated from the rest of the atmosphere by its very cold air , i . e . , the arctic front . however , the front is not zonally symmetric , and can extend to 40\u00b0n over eurasia during january . thus , northern eurasia is the major source of arctic pollution during winter . air from further south can be transported to the arctic , but only in the middle and upper troposphere . during summer , the transport is from the north atlantic ocean , across the high arctic , and toward the north pacific .\nthe kinematic method utilizes the three dimensional wind components at an initial location to advect air parcels over an interval of time . once at the new location and time the wind components at that location and time are used to advect the parcel . the process continues for the desired time period . as with isentropic trajectories the wind data are from numerical meteorological models whose grid spacing typically varies from ~ 50 to 150 km for global data , down to a few km for regional models . the models typically contain approximately 50 levels in the vertical , often with closer spacing near the surface and near tropopause level . an example of 10 - day backward trajectories is shown in figure b . 9 .\nsince the deregulation of us airlines in 1978 , the pressure on governments to reduce their involvement in the economics of airline competition has spread to most of the rest of the world . the us experience with airline deregulation is perceived to be a success by other countries , as the overall benefits to the vast majority of air travelers have been clearly demonstrated . while us domestic air travel grew at rates significantly greater than prior to deregulation , average real fares declined since deregulation and today remain at less than half of 1978 levels [ 2 ] . several successful new entrant and low - fare airlines had a great impact both on airline pricing practices and on the public\u2019s expectations of low - priced air travel . and , despite worries at the time of deregulation that competitive cost pressures might lead to reduced maintenance standards , there is no statistical evidence that airline safety deteriorated .\nthe recent growth of low - fare air travel options combined with a reduced willingness on the part of business travelers to pay the higher air fares charged by network carriers played a major role in contributing to the poor financial performance of traditional network airlines , both in the us and in many other countries . in the us , low - fare airlines ( also known as low cost carriers or \u201clccs\u201d ) exhibited slow but steady growth since deregulation , but low - fare carriers accounted for less than 7 % of us domestic air passengers in 1991 . as shown in figure 3 , lccs grew more rapidly in the us since the mid - 1990s , to the point that they carried 25 % of all us domestic traffic as a group in 2005 [ 4 ] . the largest low - fare airlines in the us industry include southwest , jetblue , airtran , and frontier .\nas the pbl collapses with the onset of evening , pollutants that were transported aloft by turbulence remain , forming a residual layer ( stull , 1988 ) that is decoupled from the surface and thereby experiences stronger wind speeds than air within the pbl ( angevine et al . 1996 ) . most turbulence in the free troposphere ( above the pbl ) is produced by an optimum combination of temperature lapse rate and the degree to which the prevailing winds vary with height ( wind shear ) . although the forcing mechanisms differ , the effect is the same\u2014turbulence in the free atmosphere thoroughly mixes the air .\nglobal flow patterns in the middle and upper troposphere ( figure b . 5 ) are simpler than those near the surface . prominent features are easterly flow in the deep tropics , clockwise flow around the semipermanent high - pressure regions in the subtropics , and circumpolar cyclonic flow . the prevailing westerlies , which contain north to south undulations cover a major portion of the northern hemisphere . the westerlies are stronger during winter than summer .\nstability that suppresses vertical motion . layers containing temperature inversions ( a negative lapse rate ) are very stable , greatly inhibiting vertical transport and promoting the accumulation of pollutants . inversions in the troposphere can occur when the surface is colder than the overlying air and in subsiding air , which occurs in regions of high pressure . the stratosphere is a permanently stable region , with a near zero lapse rate between 11 and 20 km and increasingly negative ( stable ) rates above . as a result of this stability pollutants injected into the stratosphere tend to remain there for much longer periods than in the troposphere .\nweisel cp , zhang j , turpin bj , et al . boston , ma : health effects institute ; 2005 . relationships of indoor , outdoor , and personal air ( riopa ) . part i . collection methods and descriptive analyses . research report no . 1041 -

mixed layer is characterized by vertically uniform concentrations of pollutants , water vapor , and potential temperature . the depth of the mixed layer is denoted the planetary boundary layer ( pbl ) .\nthe dry air intrusion ( di ) of a middle - latitude cyclone originates in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere ( figure b . 6 ) . it is located on the poleward side of the cyclone and descends into the middle to lower troposphere . the di is characterized by subsidence and often by regions of much lower tropopause height ( tropopause folds ) that are related to the jet stream aloft . thus , the di can transport upper tropospheric or stratospheric air into the middle or lower troposphere . some authors have described a cold , dry post - cold - frontal airstream in the middle to lower troposphere beneath the di and behind the surface cold front ( cooper et al . , 2001 ) .\nin terms of aircraft productivity , the legacy carriers also made big gains , stemming in large part from the shift of larger and longer - range aircraft to international routes . domestically , they tried to replicate the productivity strategies of lccs , by eliminating fixed connecting banks at many hubs and moving to \u201ccontinuous\u201d or \u201crolling\u201d banks that shortened aircraft ground times . still , despite all of their efforts to improve aircraft productivity , the legacy carriers have not been able to match the utilization rates ( block hours per day of aircraft operation ) that lccs have been achieving ( figure 6 ) . for example , southwest and jet blue continue to hold a clear advantage in this measure of productivity [ 5 ]\nthis next film tackles a vastly more sombre topic : the deeds of canadian pilots who served in the air force bomber command in britain during wwii . told they would be targeting factories and military targets , the airmen were actually ordered to drop their payloads on civilians in an attempt to annihilate the enemy . sensitive souls be warned : viewer discretion is advised .\nfigure b . 8 cross section perpendicular to a squall line ( adapted from houze et al . , 1989 ) . large hollow arrows identify the ascending front to rear inflow ( left ) and core updraft transporting air to the cloud top and forward anvil ( right ) . black arrows represent the rear inflow jet supporting the cold pool generation directly below the core updraft .\nin summary , deep convection is a very efficient transporter of boundary layer air to the free troposphere ( dickerson et al . , 1987 ; park et al . , 2001 ) . cotton et al . ( 1995 ) estimated an annual flux of 4 . 95 \u00d7 10 1 9 kg of boundary layer air by cloud systems ( including extratropical cyclones ) , which represents a venting of the entire boundary layer about 90 times a year . calculations for the central united states suggest that nearly 50 percent of boundary layer co is transported to the free troposphere by deep convection during summer ( thompson et al . , 1994 ) , while a typical middle latitude squall line was found to transport of 9 . 9 \u00d7 10 3 tons of co out of\non a global scale and especially in the united states , the airline industry has been in a financial crisis for much of this new century . the problems that began with the economic downturn at the beginning of 2001 reached almost catastrophic proportions after the terror attacks of september 11 , 2001 . in the united states alone , the industry posted cumulative net losses of over $ 40 billion from 2001 to 2005 , and only in 2006 was it able to return to the black with a total net profit of just over $ 3 billion [ 2 ] .\nalso , global services members can guarantee upgrades at time of booking if the pn fare code is available at that time . finally , complimentary upgrades also book into the pn fare code at 120 hours before the flight ; one non - gs companion on the same reservation is eligible for upgrade into pn as well . the exception is waitlisting , which puts gs members at the top of the waitlist and clear as soon as pn availability opens up , though our own zach honig wrote about a recent \u201csurprise and delight\u201d program that has been implemented for elites recently .\nmountain and valley circulations also are diurnally varying mesoscale thermal circulations . in this case the horizontal temperature gradient is due to altitude differences . during the day , the mountains act as an elevated heat source , causing air and its pollutants to rise up the side of the sloping terrain . under summertime fair weather conditions three times the volume of the valley can be lofted into the free troposphere each day ( henne et al . , 2004 ) . if conditions are favorable , the ascent can lead to thunderstorm development along the mountain tops . at higher altitudes away from the mountains the air sinks into the surrounding valleys . at night the horizontal temperature gradient reverses , producing downslope flow into the nearby valley that is assisted by gravity . this can lead to an accumulation of pollutants in the valley .\ndoha ' s brand - new hamad international airport , which cost over $ 15 billion to build , was quiet on friday afternoon when i set out to return home . but the line at the oman air counters moved slowly . staff there said most catching flights were those trying to go to dubai . typically , business travelers and those working in the region routinely shuttle between cities with relative ease .\nin the us airline industry , approximately 100 certificated passenger airlines operate over 11 million flight departures per year , and carry over one - third of the world\u2019s total air traffic \u2013 us airlines enplaned 745 million passengers in 2006 . us airlines reported over $ 160 billion in total revenues , with approximately 545 , 000 employees and over 8 , 000 aircraft operating 31 , 000 flights per day [ 2 ] . the economic impacts of the airline industry range from its direct effects on airline employment , company profitability and net worth to the less direct but very important effects on the aircraft manufacturing industry , airports , and tourism industries , not to mention the economic impact on virtually every other industry that the ability to travel by air generates . commercial aviation contributes 8 percent of the us gross domestic product , according to recent estimates [ 3 ] .\noptions on other airlines had me traveling over 10 hours . that was too much . but i got lucky when a last - minute cancellation got me on an oman air flight to muscat , the capital of the sultanate . that flight and another to dubai cost 1 , 805 dirhams ( $ 490 ) . it still was a lot , but i was happy to get a ticket . the airline has since increased the frequency of its flights to doha .\nlow - pressure areas are important regions of strong horizontal and vertical pollution transport . locations of cyclone initiation ( cyclogenesis ) and their subsequent storm tracks are important in determining the routes of long - range pollution transport . once a cyclone begins to form it is \u201csteered\u201d by upper tropospheric flow patterns , generally toward the east . important areas of cyclogenesis are located over eastern asia and the western pacific ocean , as well as the east coast of north america . cyclones forming in these areas are important mechanisms for transporting pollutants from the east coasts of both asia and north america ( merrill and moody , 1996 ; cooper et al . , 2002a , b ; stohl et al . , 2002 ) . another preferred region of cyclogenesis is downwind of major mountain ranges such as the rocky mountains or the alps . it is noteworthy that europe and western asia are not major regions of cyclone formation or transit .\nwithout mountain and valley circulations mountain ranges could block the horizontal transport of pollutants . if the daytime upslope flow is sufficiently strong , the polluted air can rise up and over the mountains and be transported away from its source by the stronger winds aloft . mexico city is a prime example of where terrain - induced circulations strongly affect pollution concentrations ( fast et al . , 2007 ; lei et al . , 2007 ; de foy et al . , 2008 ) .\nboundary layer turbulence appears to be the major source of vertical transport in parts of asia . dickerson et al . ( 2007 ) found that the warm - sector pbl air ahead of a cold front was highly polluted while in the free troposphere , concentrations of trace gases and aerosols were less but still well above background . they concluded that dry convection appears to dominate vertical transport , with warm conveyor belts first coming into play as the cyclonic systems move off the coast .\nsynoptic circulation features have sizes of ~ 1 , 000 - 2 , 000 km and lifetimes of several days to a week . transient middle - latitude cyclones ( lows ) and anticyclones ( highs ) are prime examples of these circulations . anticyclones generally are regions of tranquil weather with sinking air that leads to relatively cloud - free skies and stable conditions that suppress mixing and tend to trap pollutants . their light winds also reduce horizontal transport . anticyclones with little forward motion allow these stagnating conditions to persist over days or even weeks .\nmore generally , the long - range intercontinental transport of pollutants can be considered a two - step process . first , the pollutants must be transported vertically out of the boundary layer where winds are relatively light and into the free troposphere where winds are stronger , especially near the jet stream . once in the free troposphere the pollutants are transported quasi - horizontally by larger wind systems such as the prevailing westerlies . the strength of the winds determines how rapidly the transport will occur , and there can be considerable mixing with stratospheric air above the troposphere .\nthe airline industry is in the midst of a dramatic restructuring that involves even more fundamental changes than those experienced following its deregulation in 1978 . yet , nearly three decades after deregulation \u2013 and after multiple cycles of financial successes and failures \u2013 the industry remains fragile . competitive pressure from low - cost carriers , the loss of consumer confidence in the air transportation system\u2019s reliability and operating performance , and the transparency of pricing facilitated by the internet and online travel distribution channels have all contributed to a precipitous decline in average fares and a significant impact on airline revenues ."]}

occupied france until its liberation by allied forces \u2013 we follow adele and see the part she plays in the war . from undercover tours of enemy munitions factories to dodging check - in points on bicycle \u2013 there certainly aren\u2019t a lot of dull moments ! then , when things start to go wrong , adele has to ferret out the existence and identity of an unlikely double agent . seriously , i loved seeing adele\u2019s growth throughout violins of autumn . she has to deal with a lot of confusion and growing pains along with the constant pulse of danger . seeing how the war was changing her while at the same time seeing her struggle not to let it ? definitely made the pages keep turning . i found so many passages very elegantly written : \u201cregular life . it still goes on around me . while a kind man was working up the nerve to ask me on a date , i was working up the nerve to kill him with my bare hands . \u201d if you\u2019re a fan of historical fiction , violins of autumn by amy mcauley is definitely a book you\u2019ll want to pick up !\nall logos , trademarks and content in this site are property of their respective owner , the comments and reviews of their posters .\n3 , 5 sterne . band 2 bleibt leider ein wenig hinter dem auftakt zur\u00fcck . . . ich hatte eigentlich erwartet , dass es direkt mit violet weitergeht . wie geht es ihr nach dem ende ? mich bei autumn einzufinden hat aber nicht lange gedauert , sie ist sympathisch und die geschichte ist spannend . auch fallon wurde mir nach und nach sympathischer ( ebenso wie es bei kaspar der fall war ) . aber ich hatte das gef\u00fchl , dass die geschichte sich sehr ver\u00e4ndert , auch in ihrer erz\u00e4hlweise , als autumn und violett aufeinand\nit would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment . this sweltering summer of the negro ' s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality . nineteen sixty - three is not an end , but a beginning . and those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual . there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights . the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges .\n( centerinvest , noting this posture and other signs of the absence of financial transparency , lists shares of izhmash , the publicly traded stock related to izhavto , as an unequivocal\nsell .\n)\nminister of public works and procurement judy foote addresses members of the defence and security industries at the cansec 2016 expo thursday in ottawa .\nthe film\u2019s anticipated international and domestic success hinges on the depiction of a troubled turning point of turkey in 1955 through a strong cast and technical personnel ; the portrayal of the 1950s ( 1955 ) istanbul -

year old autumn , is a sage , a magic user and a noble woman , a sagean duchess of england , who goes to a normal school and struggles with her rising power as a seer and her depression due to the loss of her grandmother . no one in her school knows who she really is until prince fallon enrolls in the same school to keep and eye on her , and they start falling in love . straight away i struggled to like autumn . she did not feel like a well developed character , she was disjointed , jumpy , scattered , neurotic . it seemed that i was supposed to admire her but she confused the hell out of me . her relationship with fallon was even worse . they were meant to feel for each other but i wasn ' t seeing it . no spark , zilch , nada . at last there was the whole threat of extermino suspiciously similar to harry potter ' s death eaters and a pretty messy concept of heroines saving the world . from what ? extermino with their conflicting goals ? people like violet ' s father ? i wasn ' t seeing the picture . i perked up a little when kaspar and violet showed up , but the joy didn ' t last . they were described through autumn ' s eyes , her perception , and looked pathetic . she was very judgemental , our girl . so , perhaps , abigail gibbs rushed this book through publication , perhaps she felt like she needed a back story and lacked enthusiasm to write it , but whatever the reason , autumn rose failed to keep me as enthralled as the previous book . i reserve my judgement until book three , hoping it will rekindle my enthusiasm for the series .\n2 . 5 stars this was all over the place , i don ' t know what happened but i don ' t think she must have been very enthusiastic about it or was just rushing to finish it . the ' romance ' ( if you can call it that ) between her and fallon was basically non - existent , it was stilted and awkward and there was no character building . i didn ' t like autumn , i felt that her ' depression ' was not realistic , it seemed like it was just thrown in there just for the sake of it . also , violet and kaspar ? autumn was very judge\nrinse with a tincture of myrrh . the astringent effects can help with inflammation and myrrh offers the added benefit of killing bacteria . simmer 1 teaspoon of powdered myrrh in 200ml of water for 30 minutes . strain and let cool . rinse with a teaspoon of the solution in a small glass of water 5 to 6 times a day . alternatively try 10 drops of tea -

blog * * * by your side by kasie west publisher : harperteen publication date : january 31 , 2017 rating : 4 stars source : arc sent by the publisher summary ( from goodreads ) : in this irresistible story , kasie west explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect . witty and romantic , this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of stephanie perkins and morgan matson . when autumn collins finds herself accidentall\nrelease date : january 31 , 2017 ehh i feel like 2 . 5 stars is pretty generous . i love kasie west ' s other books , but this one was pretty . . . empty ? like the characters were all shallow and the plot was pretty basic . autumn and dax are locked in a library over a long weekend ( but could have been literally anywhere because they didn ' t care about the books . they watched tv and ate candy bars ) . the first 40 % of the book is them establishing that autumn is rich & has lots of friends , while dax is a cliche loner bad boy with a rep he doesn ' t deserve because he ' s in foster care and went to juvie for good reasons etc . autumn has an anxiety disorder , but it seems like it ' s mostly thrown in as a prop . . . and it ' s pretty much her entire personality . autumn ' s friends are the worst . but that ' s never really addressed , so that ' s just how they all are . none of them get much of a character . they ' re just the people who forgot about her in the library and left for a bonfire , where the guy autumn has a crush on got in a car accident . so the remaining portion of the story is how autumn is torn between the guy she likes who ' s in a coma and the unsociable dax ( because they apparently bonded with in the library ) . she tells dax that they can ' t kiss and he just has to be a happy distraction for her anxiety . idk where the plot even is but there ' s very little emotion anywhere . the story is super short and everything seems to be more of a plot device than anything that actually matters . it still has the light , fluffy tone of kasie west ' s other books and i liked the potential i saw in it for a bit , but by 70 % i was done trying to care much . in the end this feels more like a character study than a full story . but even that doesn ' t exactly work because the characters were all flat . so the main thing this book has going for it is the solid writing and lighthearted tone . i ' d still recommend checking it out if you like this author ! ! thank you to the publisher for sending me an arc\ni really really like kasie west ' s writing . it ' s easy and quick to read , but doesn ' t feel just like fluff / brain candy . there ' s a depth and theme / lesson to her stories , which i appreciate . dax and autumn have a strong chemistry , and i enjoyed how dax helped autumn accept herself . i wish the ending wasn ' t as rushed . the whole book is building up to the romance , which is good , i liked the tension that resulted . it kept me reading . however , i felt everything just wrapped up in a few pages and i just\nthis is one the best stories on the second world war that is more light hearted than others . some of the world war books are very depression and graphic but this was only slightly so . this is an amzing book to read , especially in autumn and i feel it really captures the emotions of the world war and of france . this is set in france , both in the country side and paris . the characters mostly speak french which is translated , but there are french phrases scattered in there which i love . the whole am\nto clarify something : this is not a bookish romance . i know a lot of people got excited by the\ntrapped in the library\nteaser , but that setting is pretty irrelevant to the rest of the story . there ' s no indication the main character , autumn , even reads . dax , the cute , mysterious boy stuck in the library with her , does read . . . his own books . he brought his own books to the library . this book is about what you ' d expect from a kasie west book . it ' s a super clean ya contemporary romance with a happy ending . i have to say the\nbad boy who is only bad for righteous reasons\nis one of my least favorite tropes ever . but i wound up liking righteously - bad - boy dax quite a bit , and he was a much better character than the collective mess that were autumn ' s friends . you see , autumn ' s friends are the reason she spends an entire weekend locked in an under - heated library with barely enough food to eat and no tampons ( no , that didn ' t come up in the book , but , i mean , i ' m just sayin ' ) , because they drive off and leave her there . but don ' t worry ; they don ' t spend a nanosecond feeling guilty about it . the only one of her friends who seemed like a decent human being was jeff , her almost - boyfriend who spends most of the book in a coma . when autumn rejects him , he handles the situation with absolute class . i don ' t think this is west ' s best work , but it ' s an enjoyable , clean cut ya contemporary . i received a copy of this book to review courtesy of the publisher and edelweiss .\n* received in exchange for an honest review * * thank you , harper collins * i was so excited to start this book - i absolutely loved dinner with a vampire so was really looking forward to seeing how this story would develop . what i didn ' t expect was for the book to showcase the same events of book one but from autumn rose ' s point of view . i was a little hesitant at first but there is no repetition in the book ; it ' s all new and fresh and i loved this book even more than the first one ! autumn is a much more likeable character and i truly cared about what happened to her and and the royal family . even though this book doesn ' t lead to much progression with regards to the story , it is definitely a great read - truly captivating . i loved learning about the sagean community in this book . it was even more fascinating than the world of vampires in the last . i got so immersed in this community and was eager to learn how the events developed from autumn ' s point of view . it was a very emotional read and filled with so many * feels * moments . it was difficult to see autumn attempting to recover from her grandmother ' s death and coming to terms with her role as guardian at her school . she is responsible for ensuring that the students are safe from the extermino . autumn harbours a few secrets which are slowly revealed as the novel progresses . i really loved reading from her point of view ; everything seemed so much fresher and made for a much nicer read compared to that of violet ' s . it was definitely interesting to see the events unfolding which led to the revelation of violet lee in dinner with a vampire . i love that it has been written like this , but i hope that next bit progresses the story a little more . gibbs ' writing has developed immensely in this book with the world building being much cleaner and the language is more mature . the world that she creates is so captivating , i really couldn ' t put this book down . one of my most anticipated reads of 2014 and it definitely didn ' t disappoint . abigail gibbs is definitely a very talented lady and i ' m looking forward to reading more from her - bring on book three !\n3 , 5 sterne . band 2 bleibt leider ein wenig hinter dem auftakt zur\u00fcck . . . ich hatte eigentlich erwartet , dass es direkt mit violet weitergeht . wie geht es ihr nach dem ende ? mich bei autumn einzufinden hat aber nicht lange gedauert , sie ist sympathisch und die geschichte ist spannend . auch fallon wurde mir nach und nach sympathischer ( ebenso wie es bei kaspar der fall war ) . aber ich hatte das gef\u00fchl , dass die geschichte sich sehr ver\u00e4ndert , auch in ihrer erz\u00e4hlweise , als autumn und violett aufeinandertreffen und das hat mir nicht so sonderlich gefallen . alles in allem ein toller band zwei , der lust auf mehr macht .\ndo you suffer from any of the following conditions . please tick box for any conditions . if none , please tick ' none of the above ' box .\nfivescore years ago , a great american , in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation . this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice . it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity .\non the financial side world rugby has a conservative goal to make a financial surplus of around \u00a390m from the 2019 tournament , down from the record breaking \u00a3150m of 2015 , but a figure which takes into account the novel nature of the venture .\ni am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations . some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells . some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality . you have been the veterans of creative suffering . continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive . go back to mississippi , go back to alabama , go back to south carolina , go back to georgia , go back to louisiana , go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities , knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed . let us not wallow in the valley of despair .\n4 . 5 star review on the blog when i finished the dark heroine : dinner with a vampire about a year ago , it was left me speechless at the beginning and at the end ! since twilight i usually refrained from any books dealing with vampires . it was the cover and the fact that this author began this story at such a young age that captured my attention . violet lee and kaspar varn left me wondering so much . the story continues , however with a twist . violet and kaspar are no longer the center of the story , autumn and fallon are . i assumed the story would pick up right where it left off . i was wrong . i stayed away from early author interviews and blog posts , because i like the element of surprise . surprised i was , to find that autumn rose was the beginning of a new saga that would soon cross paths with violet lee . to my disappointment violet and kaspar are no where in sight until the very end . it\u2019s all about autumn rose . autumn is a sage . bound to guard the humans of the present day from the extermino . she tries very hard to appear to be your average student , in an everyday high school . deep down however , she isn\u2019t . she\u2019s royalty , she\u2019s a protector , a guardian with a mission . she is determined to save and protect those that she is destined to save . along the way she speaks to her grandmother who has died . she looks to her spirit and voice for direction in stressful times . wishing for answers to bring two worlds together . when i was 75 % finished with autumn rose i knew it would be a 4 tree review . however , the ending was a review changer for me . ms . gibbs truly hooked her readers in book 1 with violet\u2019s distressed story and final revelation . she did the same with autumn rose . she provided the reader with so much back story that it gave us a closer look of the settings and missions being presented . i hope my wait for book 3 will not be as long . it is truly exciting to see female protagonists grow and grow within a series . there are several minor characters that know have a story waiting to flow from the pen to paper . this series will continue to go far in so many ways . lastly , there are many questions left unanswered . for me , that is what makes amazing writing !"]}

someone who shares our thoughts and dreams .\na great film from one of my favorite directors gets a stellar blu - ray release from criterion . i hadn\u2019t seen the double life of veronique in nearly a decade . but it\u2019s whimsical mystery and sensuality holds more weight as ever . irene jacob\u2019s dual performance hints at the way a surrealist world overlaps with the mysteries of real life , and the result is a beautiful , incomplete poem . you can find my review for the disc at slant .\nwhile the audience is aware of the connections between veronique and veronika , veronique is not . she unknowingly grieves for veronika\u2019s death , but doesn\u2019t know what this grief means . the film therefore introduces a character to make veronique more aware of her surroundings : through the puppeteer , alexandre . veronique becomes aware of him at one of his performances , becoming entranced by the performance and by him . the texture of his face in a mirror , and the music surrounding the performance enthrall her . the scene offers little explanation of why there is romantic interest , but veronique\u2019s intense focus on him and his performance links her character very emotionally to him in a way that the audience is made to understand .\na woman struggles to find a way to live her life after the death of her husband and child .\nwhere the tumultuous history of a world war meets everyday life , and private lives \u2013 a . . .\nkrzysztof kieslowski ' s\ndouble life of veronique\nexemplifies a very distinctive kind of contemporary european film . intellectually well bred , it bewitches the eye . it introduces a lovely new actress named irene jacob and , in a series of alternately haunting and opaque sequences , examines a metaphysical equation whose symbolism and practical application would seem to be of no urgency whatsoever .\nkrzysztof kieslowski ' s\nthe double life of veronique\nis a sensitive and awe inspiring experience . kieslowski is exploring the basic idea of the counterpart theory in metaphysics . if you can grasp that theory and understand the long standing ' double ' troupes ( they range from dostoyevsky ' s famous story ' the double ' to as recently as\nanother earth\n) you will begin to unlock the film . on the surface irene jacob is terrific and the cinematography is incredible ( all those colors ! ) .\nthe double life of veronique\nis a wonderful and complex experience that is immensely rewarding to committed viewers but beware that the film will be extremely confounding if merely ' watched . ' also , many people think the film is not ' meant to be figured out . ' i wholeheartedly disagree . i think the film fits it ' s pieces together quite well - but again , it goes back to counterpart theory . urltoken\nveronique is equally entrhalled by alexandre fabbri\u2019s puppet show and falls in love with him . everything about him reminds her of her dead sister weronika \u2013 who\u2019s presence in her life she can only sense vaguely .\nwhen krzysztof kie\u015blowski\u2019s the double life of v\u00e9ronique was first screened at cannes , in 1991 , the critical reception was rapturous . georgia brown declared in the village voice , \u201canything i say about [ the film ] is merely a labored minuet dance\u2026\nhistory may have sidelined the double life of v\u00e9ronique , but that is not to say the film has not lasted . in its teasing , fragmentary nature , it may well outlast the three colors trilogy , with its somber attempt at a definitive encapsulation of the human predicament at the end of the european twentieth century . the double life of v\u00e9ronique retains the kind of mystery that subsists when the search for meaning and shape is undertaken with the seriousness and pleasure of game playing . it is the sense of pervasive trompe l\u2019oeil , of the conjurer\u2019s\u2014rather than the puppeteer\u2019s\u2014art , that makes the film endure as a spellbinding experience , as well as a perplexing one .\ndon ' t think i could sit through la double vie these days without the accompanying sultry tones of annete insdorf ' s commentary .\nas the double life of veronique turns more incandescent and disjointed , it becomes clear kie\u015blowski isn\u2019t interesting in the specific machinations of narrative or the idea of forward momentum , but of hypnotic stasis in a glowing temporal space . while alive , weronicka slowly becomes aware of her potential through the same type of shared resonance veronique feels so strongly later in the film . yet this feeling doesn\u2019t come to fruition until there\u2019s a form of metaphysical closure , either through death or discovery . late in the film , when veronique realizes she captured her double in a photograph while visiting poland , her eyes well up as if she\u2019s seen a long lost friend for the first time . even when this realization comes , kie\u015blowski plays down the dramatic or even romantic expectations , instead dwelling in the haunting knowledge that maybe , someone else occupies the same mental space you do .\nfeatures weronika / veronique and the events take place from the main character\u2019s point of view . this technique has been used in other great movies such as\nthe double life of veronique is a slight , lyrical fable that benefits enormously from the charm of its star , cannes award - winner irene jacob . the film introduces us to two women , both played by jacob . polish veronika leaves her provincial home town and family for the city of krakow , where she is offered a place to study singing at a prestigious music school ; . . . read more\nsecond off is the father\u2019s expression . something is wrong \u2013 terribly wrong . if veronique had an identical twin in poland \u2013 then who is veronique\u2019s father ? one must take into account that the film includes a scene where weronika\u2019s aunt hints at a medical condition that runs in the family \u2013 which could explain that veronique has been adopted . but who is the biological mother ? one could go on forever and perhaps the whole idea about a family relation is wrong and that the ending scene of the double life of veronique is simply very \u201cdeep . \u201d but then again \u2013 kieslowski denied that there were any metaphors in his movies and he has been quoted saying : \u201cfor me a bottle of milk is simply a bottle of milk ; when it spills , it means milk\u2019s been spilled . \u201d\neach of us is matched somewhere in the world , by our exact double - someone who shares our thoughts and dreams . see more \u00bb\nin the double life of v\u00e9ronique , the camera has the same probing , investigative insistence as in kieslowski\u2019s documentaries detailing a day in a polish hospital , or the experiences of workers and management at a factory , but now set free from the constraints the director placed upon himself in his documentary work .\nfirst - person essays , features , interviews and q & as ; about life today .\nit could easily be claimed that the finest kieslowski\u2019s accomplishment is \u201cthree colors : blue\u201d , which is breathtaking and won him the best film award at venice film festival , or \u201cthree colors : red\u201d , which received oscar nominations in three categories , but here , the reasons will be presented why \u201cthe double life of veronique\u201d is not only his best film , but a perfect film .\nso far removed from political realities is double life that the only hint of the social chaos raging in poland serves as the backdrop for a chance meeting between weronika and v\u00e9ronique ( both played by ir\u00e8ne jacob ) in the streets of warsaw . v\u00e9ronique , happily taking pictures of a political demonstration from inside a tour bus , doesn\u2019t even notice weronika standing mystified at the sight of her spiritual double , and the tightness of the framing and dramatic cutting between the two women as the bus drives away reduces the surrounding tumult to atmosphere .\nisn\u2019t that it just relates back to its own superficiality , but that it makes its self - reference deep within the story . at the end , when alexandre tells veronique he has written a book seemingly about her life called ,\nveronika lives in poland . veronique lives in paris . they don ' t know each other . veronika gets a place in a music school , works hard , but collapses and dies on her first performance . at this point , veronique ' s life seems to take a turn and she decides not to be a singer .\ntwo women . . . complete strangers , but strangely linked to each other . . . renowned director krzysztof kieslowski ( three colors : red , white and blue ) confirmed his reputation as one of cinema ' s visionary filmmakers with this beautifully poetic , elegantly mysterious film that ponders the nature of intuition and the metaphysical connections between people . irene jacob lights up the screen as both weronika , a deeply spiritual polish soprano , and her double , veronique , a more earthy french music teacher . each senses the other and is affected by each other ' s experiences , though they have no idea of the other ' s existence . aided by a haunting operatic score , the double life of veronique is a mesmerizing masterpiece of filmmaking .\nparticles of light and flickers of shadow dance across the frame in krzysztof kie\u015blowski\u2019s luminary art film the double life of veronique , constructing a fluttering opera of duality and d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu seemingly suspended in motion . through the parallel characters of polish singer weronika and french music teacher veronique ( both played by irene jacob ) , women who live in separate cities but somehow feel each other\u2019s presence , kie\u015blowski envisions a modern world where the combination of touch and fate can reconcile life\u2019s incomprehensible mysteries . not surprisingly , artistic mediums such as puppetry , song , and music formulate the shifting boundaries of this world , heightening the smallest moments through this feeling of unseen overlap . when their paths occasionally do cross in dizzying fits of circumstance , the women inherently gain access to a special form of self - evaluation that grows more ambiguous and personal as the film progresses .\nthe only time they are physically near is when veronique takes a picture of weronika while she is riding on a bus . this scene shows the imaginary character of their relationship , which is transformed into art . weronika dies , but veronique feels love toward her . the connection is broken , but it lives on .\nfirst off \u2013 the palm on the tree is a mirror of the opening image of weronika and veronique as children . weronika\u2019s mother shows her daughter the starry sky above them and veronique\u2019s mother shows her daughter the veins on a leaf . interestingly \u2013 weronika later on looks through a transparent ball and sees the world from the same perspective . on the whole the two girls represent the heavenly and the earthly .\nnew life experience is in the air today , a perception that explodes the form of the linear narrative and renders life as a multiform flow . up to the domain of the \u201chard\u201d sciences ( quantum physics and its multiple - reality interpretation ; neo - darwinism ) , we seem to be haunted by the chanciness of life and the alternate versions of reality . to quote stephen jay gould\u2019s blunt formulation , which uses precisely the cinema metaphor : \u201cwind back the film of life and play it again . the history of evolution will be totally different . \u201d either life is experienced as a series of multiple parallel destinies that interact and are crucially affected by meaningless contingent encounters , the points at which one series intersects with and intervenes in another ( see robert altman\u2019s\neventually the government loosened its grip , and kieslowski ' s last four films were french co - productions . but his impulse to dodge the censors stuck around , as did his knack for subversion . after all , the decalogue is based on one of history ' s most famous sets of laws ; the three colors films each explore one of the founding virtues of the french republic ( liberty , equality , and fraternity ) ; and the double life of veronique seems to be at least partly about the struggles between eastern and western europe after the fall of the iron curtain .\nveronique is a beautiful young french woman who aspires to be a renowned singer ; weronika lives in poland , has a similar career goal and looks identical to veronique , though the two are not related . the film follows both women as they contend with the ups and downs of their individual lives , with veronique embarking on an unusual romance with alexandre fabbri , a puppeteer who may be able to help her with her existential issues .\nveronique is a beautiful young french woman who aspires to be a renowned singer ; weronika lives in poland , has a similar career goal and looks identical to veronique , though the two are not related . the film follows both women as they content with the ups and downs of their individual lives , with veronique embarking on an unusual romance with alexandre fabbri , a puppeteer who may be able to help her with her existential issues .\nurltoken the double life of veronique : ir\u00e8ne jacob , wladyslaw kowalski , halina gryglaszewska , kalina jedrusik , aleksander bardini , jerzy gudejko , janusz sterninski , philippe volter , sandrine dumas , louis ducreux , claude duneton , lorraine evanoff , slawomir idziak , krzysztof kieslowski , jacques witta , bernard -

which is not always the best critical response a film - maker could wish for . his films are sparing with their humour and their moral gravity is of the sort that brooks no argument . kieslowski favours the large themes . his acclaimed series of television films , the decalogue ( 1988 ) , illustrated the ten commandments his last feature , the double life of veronique , addressed life , death and the elusive nature of identity . his new trilogy , three colours ( blue is released today with white and red to follow ) , takes on the values of liberty , equality and fraternity .\nwith the double life of v\u00e9ronique , kieslowski seems to have found the ideal hybrid cinematic form . freed from the limitations of documentary and the preoccupations of communist poland , he made a film that not only witnesses \u201cpeople\u2019s innermost thoughts and emotions\u201d without flinching , but also represents that drive to connect as fundamentally human , yet achingly difficult to achieve .\nthis film presents a tour - de - force performance form irene jacob in the lead double role of weronika / veronique . i ' m a huge fan of kieslowski but i struggled with this one - it ' s difficult to get your head around it . nevertheless it presents interesting things to reflect on .\nin a career with no shortage of grand cinematic works \u2014 the \u201cthree colors\u201d trilogy , \u201c the double life of veronique \u201d \u2014 there are few who would argue that krzysztof kieslowski \u2018s \u201c the decalogue \u201d isn\u2019t his crowning achievement . and while it is currently available in a decent dvd box set from facets , a release from the criterion collection has [ \u2026 ] the post revisit a masterpiece with the international trailer for krzysztof kieslowski \u2019s newly restored \u2018 the decalogue \u2019 appeared first on the playlist .\non paper , the story of the double life of veronique is fairly simple . in poland , a young woman named weronika ( ir\u00e8ne jacob ) lives with a great passion for life : she embraces her lover antek ( jerzy gudejko ) with the same ardency she brings to the experience of being caught in a rainstorm , or experiencing a shower of dust motes falling from a decrepit ceiling . she also embraces her music fervently , dropping antek cold and moving to krakow when she gets an opportunity to perform . but her heart is weak , and the intensity of her singing strains it . even so , she continues to perform\u2014and dies of a heart attack in the middle of a performance .\noddly enough for a film renowned for its otherworldly beauty , the double life of v\u00e9ronique derives much of its vitality from skills kieslowski honed making documentaries , his chief occupation for the first decade and a half of his career . the criterion collection edition includes three of kieslowski\u2019s short documentaries , and a 2005 featurette by luc lagier on the director\u2019s work from 1966 to 1988 explicates his documentary style , including his penchant for looking \u201cbehind the gloss of communist propaganda\u201d . that will to unveil secrets informs kieslowski\u2019s fictional films as well . in one of a series of interviews made during the filming of the double life of v\u00e9ronique , he explains that he turned away from documentary film when he realized that pushing the format to record \u201cpeople\u2019s innermost thoughts and emotions\u201d was too invasive .\nin addition to the features mentioned above , disc extras include interviews with jacob , cinematographer slawomir idziak , and composer zbigniew preisner . the companion booklet contains production facts , an essay by jonathan romney placing the double life of v\u00e9ronique in the context of kieslowski\u2019s work and ' 90s film , and excerpts from the 1993 book kieslowski on kieslowski .\nalthough no end and various decalogues involved female protagonists , double life also showcases kieslowski\u2019s late emphasis on actresses in more progressive feminist terms . at least one commentator , alicja helman , groups the female protagonists of kieslowski\u2019s late films ( sans white ) in a positive light :\nwitek runs after a train . three variations follow on how such a seemingly banal incident could influence the rest of witek ' s life .\n( 1981 ) , three possible outcomes of a banal incident lead a man\u2019s life in three entirely separate directions . in the otherwise seemingly naturalistic\nshohei imamura\u2019s uncompromising vision of this mortal coil , in which the hero\u2019s ageing mother uses her last year to improve life in their village .\nthe double life of v\u00e9ronique is a question of identity , of how much our\ni\nbelongs to other people . of how much of\nthem\nresides in us . are we puppets of a loving caretaker , playing our parts for his celestial audience ? or are we the music -

( the criterion collection blu - ray , with features and extras identical to the 2006 criterion dvd release , includes the alternate american ending . )\neven before its 1991 release , krzysztof kieslowski\u2019s enigmatic the double life of v\u00e9ronique had taken on many more guises than the dual existence of the title . as he grappled with how suggestive or explicit to make the film , kieslowski produced 21 different cuts , all based on an uncanny , and deceptively simple , premise\u2014two young women , one living in poland ( veronika ) and one in france ( v\u00e9ronique ) , share a striking resemblance , and though they never meet , each feels the other\u2019s influence . until producers balked at the prohibitive cost , kieslowski even considered scuttling the effort to settle on a single , definitive cut , in favor of releasing multiple versions of the double life of v\u00e9ronique , one for each of the 17 theaters of its initial paris run .\nkrzysztof kieslowski ' s\nthe double life of veronique\nhas a fragile , opiated atmosphere that hovers somewhere between eroticism and melancholy . it ' s a hushed , moody puzzle of a film with the haunted , unresolved air of a ghost story by henry james , or one of borges ' poetic labyrinths . you feel as if you ' re only half - seeing it , as you might see the image of solar eclipse in smoked glass , or as if your sense of time had been disrupted and the whole thing had flashed before your eyes in the instant between heartbeats .\nfans of the decalogue tend to be so reverent that it is hard not to wonder whether there isn ' t less to these dramas than meets the eye . visually prosaic , the series had enough elusive symbolism and gravitas of pacing to make it more resonant than its anecdotal nature seemed to allow for . the double life of veronique , on the other hand , was extremely stylised , slawomir idziak ' s baroque photography bringing an eerie depth to an already elliptical story ( idziak achieves similar wonders in blue ) .\nbut the double life\u2026 stands on its own as a gorgeous piece of work , as something that is worth experiencing and fall in love with and hope it will slide into your dreams at night . the joy of life , or should i say joie de vivre , visible in the film , especially in the polish version of jacob\u2019s character , is intoxicating without it ever becoming sentimental . perhaps because the film refuses to say anything out loud and mostly just whisper its ideas and narratives , it avoids the risk of sentimentality .\nsometimes i play a game in my life , which consists of returning to an exact place and time and duplicating an exact action .\nin the 2002 sight & sound poll to determine the greatest films of all time , dekalog and a short film about killing received votes from 4 critics and 3 directors , including ebert , new yorker critic david denby , and director mira nair .

[ 17 ]\nwhen i first began my exploration into foreign cinema in high school , i had known of the importance of this film and of the director on films i knew well , like amelie . curious to delve deeper into whimsical french cinema , i watched the double life of veronique expecting it to resonate with me and become one of my favorite films . unfortunately , i was bored throughout my viewing and couldn ' t quite comprehend why it was so impactful when nothing seemed to happen . i found the pacing too slow , the narrative too convoluted to a point of disengagement , the characters too self - absorbed and unrelatable .\nleading up to the emptiness of their magical connection isn\u2019t the only reason kieslowski plays with refraction . the whole film reminds viewers throughout of the connection between weronika and veronique\u2014and reminds them again once it\u2019s severed . when the story focuses on weronika , living her life , she appears doubled in shot after shot , as she stands near mirrors , or reflective surfaces . very occasionally in double life , a character will actually look directly into a mirror and see themselves ( as opposed to the multiple shots where they examine a mirror at an angle , and see someone else ) but mostly , weronika is shadowed by reflections she doesn\u2019t even notice :\ni can not for the life of me think of a way to talk about or summarise my thoughts on this film . so i won ' t . just watch it .\nthe floodgates open to the world of the metaphysical when alexandre discovers a picture of veronika in veronique\u2019s collection of photographs . first he assumes it is her , but veronique attests to the fact it isn\u2019t - yet she can\u2019t help but become overwhelmed by the possibilities of what this connection could mean . the purpose of alexandre finally becomes clear . as kieslowski explains , \u201calexandre\u2019s made veronique aware that something else exists , that the other veronika did exist . he\u2019s the one who noticed , and perhaps he understood what she couldn\u2019t understand herself . \u201d the rest of the story shows how alexandre weaves veronique\u2019s life into his art , but his initial purpose in the plot is that he is the one who begins to make her think with all her senses . his function is also made clear by the scene in which the two finally meet in a caf\u00e9 , accomplished by him sending her a cassette of the surrounding noises of the area and hoping she is able to use the clues in the recording to track him down . it is a scene with little to do with narrative , but rather makes obvious what kind of levels the film is focusing on . in one way ,\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nthe double life of veronique is a wildly original and great effort from director krzysztof kieslowski . the main idea to this film is that two women , one in france and one in poland , who don ' t know each other are aware of one another ' s existence and essential the same person . or something like that . this story ' s main concept really isn ' t too difficult , it ' s just played out strange . it is fairly original and well done though .\nkieslowski never really brings his story to any resolution , and that ' s as it should be .\nthe double life of veronique\nis a mesmerizing poetic work composed in an eerie minor key . its effect on the viewer is subtle but very real . the film takes us completely into its world , and in doing so , it leaves us with the impression that our own world , once we return to it , is far richer and portentous than we had imagined .\nsometimes , these images are significant because they rhyme with later images : weronika twisting her fingers in the strings of a fringed blanket during sex mirrors the way she twines them through the lace of her music case when she sings , drawing a connective line that shows how powerfully her music affects her physically . when alexandre sends veronique that shoelace , she connects it with her own music - case lace , similar to weronika\u2019s , without realizing why\u2014and it\u2019s one more suggestion that he knows something profound about the central mystery of her life . the major disappointment of the film , both for veronique and the audience , is that he doesn\u2019t\u2014his interest in her is mundane and selfish , and he doesn\u2019t know any more about the mysteries of her life than she does .\nthat said ; i do believe the cinematography of the double life\u2026 has been copied quite strongly , just not as extensively . the main example of \u2018copying\u2019 is probably amelie ( 2001 ) , which uses not only the same color palette , but a similarly surrealistic way of framing ( though it pushes the surrealism even further and more to the front ) and even kind of look - alike main actress ( and they\u2019re both mostly french ) with kind of similar personalities .\nhave i made\nthe double life of veronique\nsound as if nothing much happens ? the movie has a hypnotic effect . we are drawn into the character , not kept at arm ' s length with a plot . both women are good and true and do nothing shameful . there is a shot of jacob , who pauses for a moment and lifts her head to the sun , and we know what she is experiencing : here i am , my life around me , my hopes high , my trust confident , standing stock still , the sun on my face , living in this moment . it is a holy moment .\nbesides storyline , the plot devotes its attention to themes of love , companionship and solitude . veronique quits singing ( breaks with teacher ) . veronika goes to krakow to visit her aging aunt , leaving behind her lover . both veronique and veronika have tender , loving relations with their fathers and have lost their mothers . when we first meet veronique she is making love to a man who , minutes later , she does not allow to stay . the subplot involves a lie about intimacy . a character turns the pursuit of intimacy into a game . there are co - incidences between characters who never meet . a hotel room is oddly furnished with two single beds pushed together . the story has veronique , in several different senses , looking at herself . and finally : most central of all , there is the mystical link between ( french ) veronique and ( polish ) veronika .\nthis is more or less the introduction to the main body of the film , which is set in france and in which the french veronique appears tolearn instinctively from the mistakes ( if that ' s what they are ) of her polish sister - in - spirit .\nhowever familiar the music sounded i could not make sense of it . but then i noticed the name \u201cvan den budenmayer\u201d and in a scene later on \u2013 veronique talked of a recently discovered dutch composer who lived two centuries ago .\nbut when she dies , and the action switches to veronique , the reflections stop for a while . veronique tells her lover that she feels alone in the world , and she doesn\u2019t know why\u2014she\u2019s grieving for something , and doesn\u2019t know who . she feels weronika\u2019s absence , without ever having seen or known her , and the film communicates that absence by temporarily dropping the theme of doubles and reflections .\nbut by constantly pulling away from head - on views , from simple framing and straightforward visuals , he encourages the audience to examine every frame , and to study how he\u2019s telling his story . so much of double life is in the juxtapositions : weronika shouting out of a window , offering help to a heavily laden old woman in the street , may not be significant , but the moment takes on weight when veronique sees a similar old woman , and has a moment of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu . it\u2019s hard to know how to interpret a shot of a woman glowering when weronika is awarded the prize at a competition\u2014is she a second - place competitor ? a stymied judge who disapproves of the decision ? if weronika and veronique are god\u2019s avatars on earth , bringing glorious music to the world , is the angry woman an antonio salieri - like figure representing the other side ? or something else entirely ? ( on a commentary track on criterion\u2019s double life release , film scholar and kieslowski - book author annette insdorf suggests she\u2019s a \u201charbinger of the angel of death\u201d\u2014a rather dramatic interpretation , but one kieslowski does nothing to encourage or refute . ) when she recurs in paris\u2014initially seeming flabbergasted at seeing veronique , then lingering and glowering in a caf\u00e9 to watch her\u2014is the moment significant ? viewers can decide for themselves , since kieslowski doesn\u2019t say .\nanother thread : the film is full of artists and artisans . in addition to the singers , musicians , and the puppeteer , veronika\u2019s father paints and v\u00e9ronique\u2019s father works with wood . the double life of v\u00e9ronique foregrounds the ubiquity of interpretation , artistic or otherwise . instances of mediated reality fill the film : a cathedral seen through a train window is distorted by imperfections in the glass ; a clear rubber ball that v\u00e9ronique holds up to the light inverts and gives a fish - eye perspective to scenes . the world may just be too volatile to experience first - hand , the fate of veronika seems to suggest . perhaps v\u00e9ronique will avoid a similar demise , because she witnessed her double after the fact , and via the mechanical reproduction of photography .\nit ' s almost believable . after all , the polish filmmaker ' s most famous movies don ' t have obviously political plots . the double life of veronique , the three colors trilogy ( blue , white , and red ) , and the decalogue \u2014 a series of hour - long films that aired on polish tv in 1988 , with each episode corresponding to one of the ten commandments \u2014 are more about the concerns of ordinary citizens , like sex , family , and money , than political intrigue . ( a restored edition of the decalogue was released in theaters across the us this month , culminating in a five - disc criterion release on september 27 . )\nveronique believes , initially , that her new , increasingly powerful instincts are pointing her in the direction of romance with puppeteer alexandre , whom she meets when he performs at her school . certainly , such an arc is enforced when she keeps receiving mysterious packages \u2013 an old shoelace , and empty cigar box , and finally a tape filled with seemingly random sounds \u2013 which lead her to meet alexandre again . we must remember , however , that wonder is not a straight , sequential path with a set destination \u2013 \u201cexplanation runs toward the totality , but there absolutely ends\u201d ( hepburn 140 ) . as such , the actual meeting with alexandre functions as a deflation , rather than an affirmation . alexandre sent the packages , manufacturing scenarios of wonder and mystery to play an experimental game with veronique , one he is using as research for a new story . this understandably upsets veronique , and while the two briefly reconcile and confess love to one another , veronique\u2019s ecstasy collapses once again when alexandre creates a new marionette story about veronique and her double ."]}

i wonder how they ' re going to walk in those .\nhow i live now stands as something all too rare : a movie about young people that young people may love \u2014 but not one that lies to them , and not one built for them alone .\nand with that , i will go back to merely \u201clike\u201d or \u201cdislike\u201d with response to films , because i am now feeling quite pretentious and annoying .\nhow i live now centres on what happens to a group of young people when civilization begins to crumble . but it ' s also a poignant love story , a compelling , against -

films i had . . .\nhow i live now definitely has elements of an adventure story , but it deals more with the thoughts and feelings of its characters . it is a very engaging book and makes you think differently about what war and death do to the people who are surrounded by them .\nsadly , the quiet nights of barn - fornication are not to last . the war reaches the children and how i live now is split in half . green is traded for red and brown . english troops show up and separate the family . girls to a far - off suburb and boys to a training camp . but before they are cruelly ripped from each others teenaged arms , edmond and daisy make a promise to escape their bonds and meet back at the farm with their family . and how i live now morphs into a survivalist feature .\nwatched it some time ago , then when i could not find it anywhere i could stream from i purchased the dvd . i enjoyed it . some of the cast stand out from the others , and those are the ones who are ( becoming ) a -

mediocre version of a best - selling ya title that is loved by many when his work on the last king of scotland ( another book - to - film project ) was excellent .\nthe programme for & nbsp ; eiff youth hub 2017 is now live . taking place from 23 -

and - mix is exceptionally overpriced and you can afford to arrive at the cinema a good 30 minutes later than the advertised starting time and still endure a few trailers . therefore , i\u2019ve never felt remotely entitled to make a valid judgement on the style , quality or script of film any further than \u201ci liked it\u201d . until now .\nhow sad that this eagerly - awaited film about an extraordinary genius has already managed to upset quite so many of those very people .\ni didn ' t know what to think when i came into watching this film . i certainly wasn ' t expecting what i got . i like how they focused on the characters and really fleshed them out . it was a very real story but maybe it should have been more focused . it was both a coming of age romance story and a post - apocalyptic survival drama . it felt like it was trying to do too much . either way , it was still enjoyable .\nand our bet is that it\u2019s \u201c how i live now , \u201d the latest feature effort from kevin macdonald . while saoirse ronan was rumored for darren aronofsky \u2018s \u201c noah , \u201d it\u2019s likely there was a bit of conflict with \u201chow i live now , \u201d which is now going in front of cameras . an adaptation of meg rosoff \u2018s award - winning 2004 young adult novel ( the author posted this image to her blog ) , ronan will play daisy , a new yorker staying with english cousins when world war iii breaks out . as the country becomes occupied , she falls for her cousin , edmond , and has to protect her younger cousin piper from the invading troops .\n' we know where you live ' : angry protesters confront mitch . . .\nmy pick : the farthest as a life -

v + s ) between iia and iib , and thus of ii c between ( iia ) c and ( iib ) c . hence this division affects the character and the quantitative relations of production to their very roots , and is an essential determining factor of its general structure .\nwith candidates placing company culture and a strong work life balance high on the list of necessities when searching for a job and the ball

.\nrich was one of the first to investigate in depth the meaning of the slogan at the heart of the feminist movement , \u201cthe personal is political\u201d ( 1993 : xi - xii ) .\nthe direct reflux of the money - capital advanced in variable capital , which takes place only in the case of the capitalist department iia which produces necessities of life , is but an expression , modified by special conditions , of the previously mentioned general law that money advanced to the circulation by producers of commodities returns to them in the normal course of commodity circulation . from this it incidentally follows that if any money - capitalist at all stands behind the producer of commodities and advances to the industrial capitalist money - capital ( in the strictest meaning of the word , i . e . , capital - value in the form of money ) , the real point of reflux for this money is the pocket of this money - capitalist . thus the mass of the circulating money belongs to that department of money - capital which is organised and concentrated in the form of banks , etc . , although the money circulates more or less through all hands . the way in which this department advances its capital necessitates the continual final reflux to it in the form of money , although this is once again brought about by the reconversion of the industrial capital into money - capital .\nkudos to

of view of the simple circulation of commodities , the circulation of money more rapid \u2014 even less money would be ample to circulate the exchanged commodity - values ; the amount is always determined \u2014 if the number of successive exchanges is given \u2014 by the sum of the prices , or the sum of values , of the circulating commodities . it is immaterial in what proportion this sum of values consists of surplus - value on the one hand , and of capital - value on the other .\nfinely wrought drama \u201cthe necessities of life\u201d was inspired by a tuberculosis epidemic that

lump - in - throat moments . likely fest kudos should spur offshore tube sales and hopefully some arthouse placements .\nthe mode of production is the unity of the productive forces and the relations of production . production begins with the development of its determinative aspect \u2013 the productive forces \u2013 which , once they have reached a certain level , come into conflict with the relations of production within which they have been developing . this leads to an inevitable change in the relations of production , since in the obsolete form they cease to be indispensable condition of the production process . in its turn , the change in the relations of production , which means the substitution of the new economic basis for the old one , leads to more less rapid change in the entire society . therefore , the change in the mode of production comes about not through peoples volition , but by virtue of the correspondence between the productive relations to the character and level of development of the productive forces . due to this , the development of society takes the form of the natural historical change of socio - economic formations . conflict between the productive forces and the relations of production is the economic basis of social revolution .\nthe value of the total annual product created with the aid of this capital in each of the two departments consists of one portion which represents the constant capital c consumed in the process of production and only transferred to the product in accordance with its value , and of another portion added by the entire labour of the year . this latter portion is divided in turn into the replacement of the advanced variable capital v and the excess over and above it , which forms the surplus - value s . and just as the value of every individual commodity , that of the entire annual product of each department consists of c + v + s .\nas far as the first category is concerned it is obvious that the variable capital advanced in the production of the commodities belonging in it must flow back in money - form directly to that portion of the capitalist class ii ( i . e . , the capitalists iia ) who have produced these necessities of life . they sell them to their own labourers to the amount of the variable capital paid to them in wages . this reflux is direct so far as this entire sub - division a of capitalist class i is concerned , no matter how numerous the transactions may be between the capitalists of the various pertinent branches of industry , by means of which the returning variable capital is distributed pro rata . these are processes of circulation , whose means of circulation are supplied directly by the money expended by the labourers . it is different , however , with sub - division iib . the entire portion of the value produced in this sub - division , iib ( v + s ) , exists in the bodily form of articles of luxury , i . e . , articles which the labouring class can buy no more than it can buy commodity - value i existing in the form of means of production , notwithstanding the fact that both the articles of luxury and the means of production are the products of these labourers .\ni have always taken some foolish pride in the humble nature of my upbringing . for many of us , it\u2019s part of being an american : reveling in how poor we

tiff\u2019s top 10 films of 2008 and came close to an oscar nomination for best foreign - language film .\n2 ) that in the case of annual product which is reproduced in the form of articles of consumption , the variable capital v advanced in the form of money can be realised by its recipients , inasmuch as they are labourers producing luxuries , only in that portion of the necessities of life which embodies for their capitalist producers prima facie their surplus - value ; hence that v , laid out in the production of luxuries , is equal in value to a corresponding portion of s produced in the form of necessities of life , and hence must be smaller than the whole of this s , namely ( iia ) s , and that the variable capital advanced by the capitalist producers of luxuries returns to them in the form of money only by means of the realisation of that v in this portion of s . this phenomenon is quite analogous to the realisation of i ( v + s ) in ii c , except that in the second case ( iib ) v realizes itself in a part of ( iia ) s of the same value . these proportions remain qualitatively determinant in every distribution of the total annual product , since it actually enters into the process of the annual reproduction brought about by circulation . i ( v + s ) can be realised only in ii c , just as ii c can only be renewed in function as a component part of productive capital by means of this realisation ; in the same way , ( iib ) v can be realised only in a portion of ( iia ) s and ( iib ) v can only thus be reconverted into the form of money - capital . it goes without saying that this applies only to the extent that it all is really a result of the process of reproduction itself , i . e . , to the extent that the capitalists of iib , for instance , do not obtain money - capital for v on credit from others . quantitatively however the exchanges of the various portions of the annual product can take place in the proportions indicated above only so long as the scale and value - relations in production remain stationary and so long as these strict relations are not altered by foreign commerce .\neach person born into this world has

crafted , and respect its characters . these are not the only requirements for a good movie , of course\u2014acting and cinematography are tremendously important , too\u2014but plot is complicated enough of a subject for one blog post .\n\u201c revenge of the sith has some almost decent things . yoda is good value as ever , though his character is never allowed to breathe in the airless galaxy lucas creates , and there is a good sequence at the end showing the \u201cbirth\u201d of darth vader while princess amidala is delivered of her twins . it has what the rest of the film so conspicuously lacks : a spark of real dramatic life . but it comes far too late and it is over immediately . how depressing to compare any of this with the fun and gusto of harrison ford , carrie fisher and mark hamill in the first movie . as for the elephantine trilogy as a whole , it was all too clearly a product of george lucas\u2019s overweening production giant industrial light and magic . no magic , little light , but an awful lot of heavy industry . \u201d\nlike o ' hehir , i ' ve come to this conclusion after two weeks of preparation for the 50th new york film festival\u2014a time in which i ' ve seen a great many films , from antonio mendez esparza ' s quietly powerful here and there to cristian mungiu ' s riveting yet low - key beyond the hills to christian petzold ' s modest character drama barbara . but i have to confess that i ' ve seen nothing at the nyff that resonated as deeply or engaged me as thoroughly as looper \u2014yes , a bruce willis action movie , but one with an ingeniously worked - out plot , surprisingly deep emotions , and a thing or two to say about the uncertainty of inevitability . moreover , it ' s a lot of fun , which is a quality that doesn ' t have to exist separately from cinematic brilliance . it would be easy to presume otherwise ; too many film writers turn up a collective nose at films aimed at reaching and cheering a mass audience , as though truly great cinema must be met ( at least ) halfway .\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\nthe\nbirth of the beatles\n( us version ) movie is especially good image quality , i would rate it ( 9 . 5 ) for image qualit . . . read more\nand that\u2019s all in the first 10 minutes of the movie . we\u2019re just getting warmed up\u2014much like the dancers in this film , i would say , but these people don\u2019t need to warm up so much as make sure they\u2019re not going into debt on what is undoubtedly a massive budget for cocaine . \u201cdance like no one\u2019s watching\u201d takes on new meaning in this movie , which features people dancing not only as though no one was watching , but also as if they\u2019ve never seen dancing in their lives , and were instructed to make it up from scratch . and make it up they do , from the initial audition scene starring a cast of hundreds and an outdoor stage perfect for doing every type of dance imaginable , especially once the competition begins . ( apparently dance tv needs ballet , in the eyes of some . ) it\u2019s difficult to say how this tryout was organized , but it\u2019s executed with the smooth precision of a mass lemming suicide .\ni ' d love it if you followed me on twitter and facebook and subscribed to my channel on youtube . also feel free to subscribe to my posts by email . thanks for reading .\nproduced on an estimated budget of $ 113 million , the film arrived on may 19 , 2005 with an opening day haul of $ 50 , 013 , 859 from an estimated 9 , 400 screens at 3 , 661 locations , for what was then the biggest single days take in movie history . a colossal north american first weekend gross of $ 108 , 435 , 841 on 3 , 663 screens followed , with a final domestic tally of $ 380 , 270 , 577 and a mammoth $ 848 , 754 , 768 worldwide . wowing fans of the saga , it brought the prequel trilogy home in bombastic fashion , showing the tragic events which led to the creation of darth vader , the fall of the jedi , and the formation of the galactic empire . the circle was now complete , but how did the film fare when it came to the critical opinions of the wider film press ?\nas soon as her daughter gets kidnapped , however , the film loses that sense of playfulness and goes into serious action - thriller mode , which would have been fine if it did not also keep trying to be more than that .\nbut separating the art from the artist is a lot easier when the artist in question seems to be pushing themselves and trying new things . whatever you think of casey affleck\u2019s oscar win for manchester by the sea , he gave a stunning performance in that film . by contrast , even depp seems bored by jack sparrow in this movie ( except , amusingly , when he shares the screen with paul mccartney for a couple of minutes ) , which only led me to wonder why his career seems to have surged in the wake of heard\u2019s accusations . ( this movie was already in production at the time heard made her accusations . )\nin a lot of ways , this rushed first entry felt like a really great setup for a better , more in - depth movie to follow . i hope they make a sequel or two .\nrevenge of the sith isn\u2019t just a great star wars movie , it\u2019s a flat out great film . yes it\u2019s technically proficient and yes it\u2019s visually beautiful . those things are a given . what hasn\u2019t been is how solidly the film is constructed . revenge of the sith is a powerful , big budget experience . yet it is the way that it fits so wonderfully into the existing star wars mythos that best sells it , the way it nestles so nicely into 1977\u2019s episode iv : a new hope that makes it special . the real beauty is that you could easily toss out the previous two awkward attempts , watch only this in sequence with the original films , and come out completely satisfied . attack of the clones and the phantom menace are best forgotten . lucas\u2019s real miscalculation was in not making this movie right from the start . he tried to stretch the story when all we needed was vader\u2019s rise in its purest form . star wars fans have finally been rewarded for their patience . george has made another masterpiece . \u201d\nif that sounds like fun : congratulations , you\u2019re the moviegoer hollywood can\u2019t afford to believe in . making science fiction without rayguns generally demands a big budget and generally promises no easy thrills . people barely want to see science fiction movies as it is . fantasy has always been more popular at the box office \u2014 especially depending on which bucket you toss star wars into . ( it has spaceships , but also swordfights ; it has rayguns , but also wizards . )\nthank you for my copy of\nlet no man write my epitaph .\nit ' s my 2nd all - time favorite movie and i couldn ' t find it on . . . read more\n? is it the only moment of comedy relief in the entire film ? no one knows , but what it does do is take the viewer outside the action at every sighting . it is impossible to remain enthralled when this idiocy is on screen . as my very non - violent wife remarked after the film , \u201cevery time i saw that stupid fucking guitar guy on screen i wanted to punch the director in the head . \u201d and she has a ph . d . in english .\nwhen albert gets lost , wren , abetted by the nerdy roosevelt ( thomas mann ) and peng ( osric chau ) , ventures deep into the night to find him , and wren and albert\u2019s peregrinations take them to a chicken takeout , a nightclub , the party , a cemetery and the home of a bilious metalhead ( johnny knoxville ) . character accessories include firecrackers , toilet paper and for wren\u2019s \u201cwizard of oz\u201d costume , glittering ruby - red converse high - tops . movie merits include a good cast , a tidy script and jokes just provocative enough .\n\u201ci still remember the first time i really became aware of george lucas . we swarmed to anything that had his name on it , ate up every ewok adventure or star wars christmas special because we knew george lucas had created it . we didn\u2019t just love star wars , we loved the mythos of george lucas , a man who somehow seemed magical .\nthe smartest thing i\u2019ve ever heard about the series was from a friend , who was trying to defend dead man\u2019s chest , the very first sequel from 2006 , after i found it not just disappointing but actively irritating . that film was , he said , a series of looney tunes shorts about the character jack sparrow , as though he were bugs bunny transplanted into our reality , made to look like johnny depp , but subjected to the same old slapstick shit . the movie didn\u2019t have a plot because it didn\u2019t need one \u2014 it was an excuse to see depp run around and do goofy things ."]}

- a missing pinky being one - - noguchi loves his job , arguing that being a mobster at least makes life interesting . this chance meeting strikes a chord with the postman . while playing hooky from work , he starts to read his charges ' letters . one written by a dying lass with cancer named sayoko ( keiko tohyama ) staying at a local hospital piques his interest . he sets out to visit her the following day and immediately falls in love . in the same ward , he also meets another cancer patient named joe ( keisuke horibe ) - - a pathologically honest hitman who sawaki takes an immediate shine to . meanwhile the police are hot on the trail of noguchi and start to believe that sawaki is a part of his drug courier biz as well . after they find noguchi ' s disembodied finger in the postman ' s apartment , they think he ' s a bloodthirsty loon ball as well . soon -

bit sociopath , during his post - prison spree in miami . while his rampage starts with an accidental ( and ridiculously improbable ) death , the killer immediately settles down to make some money and find a bonnie to his clyde . the detective , hoke mosely , is a colourful character , but doesn ' t get much pagetime . willeford seems far too fascinated by the brutal violence of his villain . there ' s nothing wrong with miami blues , but it wasn ' t a good fit for me . i don ' t enjoy books that are told from the serial killer ' s perspective . my type of noir always has a\ntarnished knight ,\nand hoke doesn ' t quite fit the mold for me . a lot of the book focused on the villain ' s attempt to abuse and shape a young woman into his helpmate , and no matter how questionable her own motives , i didn ' t enjoy reading about the violence against her . i also was simply unable to get past the first death in the story : a young man who dies of shock after his finger is broken . sure , maybe it ' s possible , but it ' s just so darned improbable , not to mention ridiculous .\nthere\u2019s a right old rumpus down at the harp surgery ! the doc has taken delivery of his new hohner rocket and he\u2019s been putting it through its paces . the verdict ? it\u2019s everything hohner claims it to be \u2013 comfortable , responsive and loud . if you\u2019re considering investing in a rocket , we say go for it , you\u2019ll love it ! it\u2019s great for blues , rock and pretty much every contemporary style . and just to get us in the mood , here\u2019s some pocket rocket from the fab t -

con and the cop having dinner together or junior going to\nwork\nat the mall . some of what takes place is the gallows humor of the police station but it ' s do funny you almost forget the one - man crime wave junior is . an absolutely breathtaking work .\nvishnu ( mohan babu ) is a postman in hyderabad . he is the caring guy around and everybody loves him , naturally . he has a maternal uncle called ramkoti ( kota ) , who occupied vishnu ' s ancestral house after the death of vishnu ' s parents . vishnu stays in a pathetic structure that is built on the top of ramakoti ' s house . ramakoti has a beautiful daughter called sirisha ( raasi ) . sirisha adulates vishnu and wants in marry him . postman is rather a curious guy . he would be boozing every night . and reading the letters of others and accordingly deliver them in such a way that it will help the receiver . whenever sirisha expresses her wish to marry him , vishnu gives an elusive reply that he has a dream girl and he will marry her . one fine morning vishnu brings a beautiful girl to his house . she is archana ( soundarya ) . he introduces archana to everybody and reveals that she is his fiancee . ramakoti wants vishnu to marry his daughter . after a bit of research he comes to know that archana is just released from a jail . when confronted vishnu admits that archana was jailed . * interval * vishnu elaborates his relationship with archana . archana is an inmate of an orphan house , whom he meets when he go there to deliver a packet . impressed with her inner beauty vishnu meets her more often and understands her well . when he goes to deliver archana another packet , it blows up in the orphan house . since archana is the receiver of the packet bomb , she is arrested for the offense . vishnu takes care of her by meeting her regularly in the jail . after a few visits he gets a letter from archana that she is suffering with blood cancer . after knowing the fact vishnu takes a bail for archana on the grounds of her health and takes her to his house . after the flashback is over , the envying family of ramkoti turns sympathetic to her . sirisha wants vishnu to marry archana . upon the instance from ramakoti ' s family archana and vishnu agree to get married . then the story leads to the most heart touching climax . you must watch this film on the bigger screen to find out what is there in store for you in the climax .\nalthough michael radford directed this small , touching film about a shy mail carrier looking for love , the guiding spirit seems to have been writer / actor massimo troisi , who died shortly after shooting was completed . troisi plays a simple , middle - aged man who lives on a small island in the mediterranean also inhabited by noted chilean poet pablo neruda . upon learning that the poet receives a number of letters from women , and is said to have a way with them , he decides to solicit the help of the great man for advice on winning the woman maria grazia cucinotta he loves . the film is as much about the romance of language as of lovers , and as much about the postman ' s gentle seduction of the initially distant poet as it is about his courtship of the woman . troisi shines in his final role , his gauntly lyrical presence lingering in the memory long after the film ends . the great philippe noiret , the eternal everyman of french films , might have seemed a strange choice for the role of neruda , but he is as brilliant as ever . a small film it may be , but its poetry is winning .\nmiami blues is a bacon - decked , cheese - drenched , all - beef burger with a side of crisp , greasy , cayenne - peppered fries and a combo - size ( xtra - large ) plastic cup full of more whiskey than cola . in other words it ' s an off - beat , breezy crime novel that i swallowed more than chewed over the course of one evening of reading and drinking alone . one star is a burp , the next a congratulatory pat on my tummy , then a satisfied knick at my teeth with a toothpick , and the fourth the pleasant surprise of a few patches of cheese stuck to the empty burger wrapper , which i enthusiastically pried free with tongue and tooth . a charming psychopath and his ditzy babe , casually corrupt and begrudgingly decent cops ; meandering conversations built upon cool , punchy dialogue ; a few unexpected scenes of brutal violence ; gallows humor and false teeth : what more is there for me to say in this review ? for dessert : vinegar pie .\nthis film is a soft and sensitive one . but muppalaneni siva never missed any beat of commercialism in this film . it has got all the ingredients one expect from a good film . there is a treat for the telugu language lovers in this film . not everyone is fortunate or interested enough to read jandhyala papaiah sastry ' s ' pushpa vilapam ' . soundarya ' s role is this film epitomizes the ' pushpam ' ( flower ) . mohan babu would be singing timely ' pushpavilapam padyalu ' and explaining the gist of them . dialogues in this film needs a special commendation . there is not even a single ' double entendre ' dialogue by mohan babu in this film . all the dialogues by dr . mohan babu gives an aural kick to the telugu ear . there are few scenes that demonstrate the delicacy at which muppalani handled them . all of them can only seen and feel on the big screen . they cannot be written about . comedy track by ms narayana , brahmanandam and ali keeps its pace with the story narration and thickens the main plot by the interval time . we have to wait and see if the predictions by cine pundits turn true . that is . . . alludu garu . . . pedda rayudu . . . . postman !\nthis book by charles willeford ( along with the friends of eddie coyle by george v . higgins ) is the basis of the great crime fiction of elmore leonard . he was heavily influenced by these two authors and it shows . this is not to say that leonard copied the style \u2013 instead he has improved upon the approach to writing that these authors have themselves mastered . in miami blues , the reader spends just as much time with the bad guy as the good guy ( maybe even more time . . ) and he seems like a real person , not just a criminal to be arrested by the police . we spend time with this antagonist , freddy the psychopathic ex - con , and learn about his motivations , his likes , dislikes , worries , etc . you\u2019ll see the roots of leonard when you read this book . the \u201cgood guy\u201d cop hoke a unique denture - wearing guy who is sympathetic yet slightly stand - offish . you don\u2019t learn to love him but you like him as well as feel bad for him . he\u2019s not overly macho and therefore he seems all the more real for that . some of the language and references are dated and there some racist / homophobic / sexist language that may turn off some readers . however , that language is put there to show the attitudes of people you\u2019d meet everyday . it\u2019s a frank and honest portrayal of real people . the plot relies on a far - fetched coincidence but it\u2019s not too distracting . there\u2019s some pretty brutal scenes in here , too , so fans of violent crime fiction will love it . even though the roots of elmore leonard lie in the fiction of willeford and higgins , i think leonard has improved upon that style , tightening up the writing and making it more laid - back ( and more fast - paced , if that makes sense ) . there is also some humor in miami blues , some of it quite funny ( the \u201ccrisco\u201d part is pretty hilarious ) . so , if you like good crime fiction that isn\u2019t a \u201cwhodunit\u201d , read this book . if you like elmore leonard , read this book . and for tarantino fans , qt has also name - dropped willeford as an influence so if that gets you excited , read this book .\ncharles willeford ' s hoke moseley series starts off with a bang , it ' s a strange and twisted and outrageously funny at times bang too . his protagonist is a strange beast of a detective with all kinds of odd quirks and is a supporting character to the newly released criminal who spends the entire novel compulsively lying and cheating and making some of the craziest decisions you might expect to find in an elmore leonard criminal farce . willeford packs out the cast with some wonderfully drawn characters who feel completely authentic to the time and place ( whether they are or not i will obviously never know having not lived in miami in the early 80s ) and despite the existential nature of the two leads the supporting cast are used to great comic effect . my personal favourite being the jaded college tutor who abuses his pathetic students to their face and readily admits to preparing for his lectures in a nearby bar . with miami blues i have discovered has a unique voice in the noir field , different even to willeford ' s earlier pulp novels , from the first page he had me grinning and despite some lag in pacing towards the middle this is clearly the work of an author with a lifetime of experience under his belt .\nng entertainment llc is a company that services the world through live music and dance . we are very humbled to staff and have some of the industry\u2019s premier vocalists , musicians , and dancers working with the new groove brand . ng entertainment ( nge ) has performed with several grammy award winning recording artists like shekinah glory ministries , lisa mcclendon , vicki winans and many more . we have also opened for and performed with many artists such as jazz legend george benson , sinbad ( comedian ) , and recording artist teresa griffin , to name a few . our company is built on character , integrity , professionalism and quality . when you book nge , you can rest assured that we will handle all entertainment needs while freeing you to direct your attention to the other aspects of your event . nge soars while playing a broad range of music . whether it ' s a public or private event , nge can be heard playing most genres of music , including , but certainly not limited to , gospel , rhythm & blues , gatsby , jazz , rock and pop . our consultants will collaborate with you to create the ideal playlist that will have your guests out of their seats dancing or simply enjoying the ambiance . if you are in need of any type of interpretative dance , praise dance or mimes for your wedding or other celebratory events , nge can fulfill those needs as well . thank you in advance for your business and support . we look forward to serving you in the very near future . raymond love ng entertainment llc president\nwith miami blues , veteran crime fiction writer charles willeford introduces miami homicide detective hoke moseley who has to rank as one of the most unique and interesting fictional homicide cops ever to work a case . he ' s middle - aged , divorced , poverty - stricken ( because of the divorce ) and living in a crappy hotel room . he ' s not particularly attractive and has little luck with women . ( did i mention that he wears dentures which he seems to be losing all too often ? ) still , for all that , he ' s a very sympathetic character and you can ' t help rooting for the guy . as the book opens , an ex - con named junior frenger arrives at miami international . junior is a psychopath with big ambitions and as he ' s walking through the airport , he accidentally kills a hare krishna who has annoyed him . junior steals some luggage , checks into a hotel and makes a date with a hooker . the hooker turns out to be a fairly spacey community college student named suzie waggoner who immediately falls for junior ' s line of b . s . and moves in with him . hoke moseley is assigned the murder case and manages to track down suzie and junior whom he suspects of the crime . proving it will be another matter altogether , and the dynamics among the three principal characters are very interesting and entertaining . this is an off - beat crime novel with moments both serious and hilariously funny , and fans of crime fiction who haven ' t yet discovered willeford might want to search out this book . fortunately , the entire hoke moseley series has recently been released in brand - new editions which are easy to find . as a final note , an excellent movie was made from this novel , starring alec baldwin as junior and jennifer jason leigh as suzie . fred ward plays hoke and is perfectly cast in the role . this is one of those rare cases when the movie really does do justice to the book .\nmiami blues ( 1984 ) is charles whitteford\u2019s first novel in the hoke moseley series . hoke is no hero ; he\u2019s just a bloke doing his job and good at it , and who knows how to navigate the political side of a career in the police . ( the book was made into a movie that received a rotten tomatoes score of 2 , just above the basement ; that flop was due to the movie makers , not to charles whitteford . ) we begin with marty waggoner , a hare krishna ( remember them ? ) begging at the miami airport baggage claim . freddy \u201cjunior\u201d frenger , an ex - con and a petty crook , prone to violence , is also at the claims area to steal baggage , wallets , and whatever comes to hand ; junior lives on the kindness ( credit cards ) of strangers . marty hits junior up for a donation and junior , who intensely dislikes the cult ( as did many people at that time ) breaks marty\u2019s finger when it is poked in his face . marty over - reacts by dying on the spot ; apparently , a broken finger can induce severe shock . marty\u2019s sister , susan , with whom marty lives , is a diminutive over - skinny twenty - year old who looks like a teeny - bopper . she is a student at dade county community college who turns tricks on the side , and she is not about to become class valedictorian . hoke meets susan when he goes to give her the bad news about marty . there he also meets junior , whom susan has just met at the college ; he is now susan\u2019s boyfriend in a \u201cplatonic marriage . \u201d coincidence ? hoke has his doubts . meanwhile , hoke is investigating an apparently unrelated murder . the husband , child , and maid of a columbian woman are found dead , along with two columbian thugs , in her condominium ; the woman was not at home , having gone to the airport . coincidence ? the appeal in willeford\u2019s writing is not in the crimes that occur , or in the process of solving them . it is in willeford\u2019s description of the life of a cop : the daily grind , the politics involved , the strategies used to protect oneself from harm by bad guys and from office politics\u2014 - the latter seems the most dangerous . 3\u00bd stars .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later ."]}

scale production service with a variety of offerings for consumers and businesses , and millions of users worldwide , including bing translator and the microsoft translator hub customization service , as well as the upcoming skype translator product .\narulkumaran ( vikram ) is a goldsmith who is highly independent and cannot stand injustice . when his father ( vinu chakavarthy ) wrongly accuses him of theft , arul leaves the family profession to join a mill as a worker . gajapathy ( pasupathy ) is the local mla whose only obsession is to acquire property by using muscle power with the blessings of his elder brother senapathy ( kollam thulasi ) a political kingmaker .\na slow transformation in the way health care works is finally gaining traction . so far , it has gone largely unnoticed by the media or the public because it hasn\u2019t been the result of government edict or executive order . but as suren arul , a consultant paediatric surgeon at birmingham children\u2019s hospital put it to me : \u201cwe are undergoing a quiet revolution and martin bromiley will , one day , be recognised as the man who showed us the way . \u201d\ni brought my brother mr . shunmuga nainar to annai arul hospital with no pulse , i am not exaggerating but i am saying about something that truly happened . he had no pulse , his heart stopped functioning . the effort and speed of the emergency team along with the medical experts dr . dejan and dr . varun was stupendous . since the emergency unit was fully equipped they were able to revive my brother and today he is alive in our midst .\ni brought my mother from korattur to annai arul hospital for admission through my cousin joanna as my mother had high sugar level ( 550 ) with severe abdomen pain . i thought i had almost lost her as her condition never improved but became worse . i took her to a reputed hospital where she was in emergency without even a blood test done and i had a pay a huge amount for that . i was in a hopeless situation ; it was at that moment i was recommended to annai arul hospital and trust me we were at right hands . from emergency to ward every doctor who attended were so good , they clearly explained my mother\u2019s condition , everything was transparent . we are completely satisfied with the service provided . i thank the team of doctors\u2019 especially dr . joseph , dr . varun and dr . deepak . nurses and other care provider ( canteen & house -

ordination between doctors\u2019 is simply superb .\ndirector hari has teamed up once again with actor vikram after their big hit in saamy . arul , starring vikram and directed by hari is action - packed entertainer . the director , known for his passion to churn out action movies , seems to taken cue from his earlier movies ( thamizh and saamy ) and has eventually rolled out a revenge drama . the movie revolves around vikram , who play the role of a factory worker . jyothika spots a refreshing look and does her role with aplomb . vadivelu ' s comedy fails to evoke laughter .\ni am very satisfied with the treatment which i received here . all the nurses took good care of me with a smile on their face and they were gentle . they encouraged me well . i\u2019m a miracle to this hospital as i had five percent of living stage during the surgery . dr . magesh , dr . ramesh and all the other doctors made me to live as a miracle . even i was stubborn during the treatment , they had always encouraged me for my betterment . i will always recommend \u201cannai arul hospital\u201d for the best service . thank you team .\nbefore coming to india we checked the internet about all the hospitals and preferred annai arul hospital because we wanted individualized care . we are very happy and satisfied with the care as it was exactly the way how we expected . surgeons and consultants visited us every day and took good care of my father . i am very pleased with the staffs who provide food for us those boys were always smiling and seem to be pleased to do their job . whenever we were in need of anything coordinators addressed our need on time . we are quite satisfied and happy about the service provided .\ni was brought to the hospital like a baggage of waste and today my health has improved because of dr . jayaprakash . nurses took good care without any hesitation . the intension of this hospital is not to earn money but to do service to the people and i have personally experienced this service . as per the name annai arul i received the same kind of unconditional care equivalent to my mothers love from the medical director dr . joseph to house keeping professionals . hope and care showed to me by dr . jayaprakash and dr . joseph is so good and i feel happy and satisfied .\ni definitely have to mention about all the staffs of annai arul hospital they are simply awesome . i didn\u2019t get the feel that they were working here but they did everything as if they belong here . they took so much care and took good care of my brother and ensured he is taking proper intake . the professional understanding and bonding from sir / ma\u2019am , developed a relationship between us as anna and akka and this created a great bonding between us and that made a great difference . this new relationship made me feel like home away from home . overall we are happy and very satisfied to have received a very good care ! ! ! ! ! !\nmy mother s . mythily was treated at annai arul hospital and as prayed by me , dr . joseph has done the act of saviour in my mom\u2019s life . i am very much thankful to the doctor and to his dedicated team of doctors and staffs . your hospital will soon gain momentum because of your entire team\u2019s contribution . my mom fondly observed that the staffs were so nice and very affectionate with her , which gives her confidence , mental strength , etc , to overcome the pain and agony undergone by her . kudos to one and all in your hospital and my best wishes to all your future endeavours . . . . . thank you so much doctor . . .\nas james reason showed , mistakes arise out of coincidence . suren arul , the consultant paediatrician in birmingham , told me that \u201cwhen mistakes happen , it\u2019s almost never one person\u2019s fault . it\u2019s usually a whole series of things , some of them tiny . \u201d bromiley asks hospital boards to consider their procurement of marker pens , used to mark the part of the body about to be operated on ( best practice is for the surgeon to make the mark and to sign it with his initials ) . \u201ci tell them , \u2018i understand your need to cut budgets . but do you realise that because you didn\u2019t buy those marker pens you\u2019ve just trebled your likelihood of having a wrong - site surgery case ? \u2019\nthe microsoft mt system has a rich history . the first version , initially developed by arul between 1999 and 2000 was based on shallow semantic predicate - argument structures known as logical forms that were produced by nlpwin parser . this lf - based mt system aligned source and target language at the lf level , and learned lf - based tree transforms from a large corpus of parallel data derived from microsoft software documentation . this system was eventually used to translate the entire microsoft knowledge base , consisting of 150k + articles into multiple languages ( spanish , french , german and japanese ) and the kb was published in these languages as raw unedited mt . much to the surprise of skeptics , this proved wildly popular , and user surveys indicated that the mt content was just as useful for solving user problems as human translations .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n* setting channel preference will take you directly to the respective channel when you come in next time .\nsupported browsers : internet explorer : version 7 . 0 and above , chrome , firefox and safari . best viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution and above .\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 -

developed a set of parallel processing extensions to c + + known as cool . i retain a keen interest in parallel programming and large scale distributed systems , which are , not surprisingly , very useful in training mt systems at web - scale . early versions of our mt system were trained on a home - brew distributed processing engine i co - developed , though today we use off - the - shelf infrastructure such as cosmos , mpi , dryad - linq and hadoop .\nour experience with the lf - system led to a number of specific lessons learned , the most important of which were ( 1 ) it proved very difficult to incorporate a strong target language model directly in the search process when searching over semantic structures ( 2 ) the pipelined structure of enabled errors to compound .\nthese learnings led directly to our treelet translation developed jointly with chris quirk and colin cherry . we simplified our representation from lf to dependency trees . since the trees retained all words , we were able to eliminate the need for a generation module , which enabled the search to operate directly over words , which in turn enabled the incorporation of a target language model directly in the search . the first version of this system , published in 2004 , searched over all possible tree rotations , scored by a discriminative reordering model . this was the first syntactic mt system to show bleu gains ( 2 bleu points ! ) over phrasal smt .\nin 2007 we replaced the discriminative reordering model with an order template model estimated directly from the data , which speeded up decoding dramatically and improved generality . the unlexicalized templates generalized well and were unified at runtime with the lexicalized treelets . in 2008 we extended the templates to handle insertion and deletion of function words , in order to handle syntactic phenomena that are realized lexically in one language but not the other .\nin 2007 we launched the windows live translator ( now bing translator ) , a live web service providing free translations on the web , and my personal focus shifted away from basic research and towards delivering our research innovations to users . today the bing translator and microsoft translator family of products is used by millions of users and businesses and provides billions of translations daily . the system is still based on the treelet mt approach described above , though there have been many improvements and innovations over the years .\nthe microsoft translator product team integrates research and product development in a single team , covering everything from mt modeling and algorithms to data gathering and delivery of the live web service . this eliminates the traditional \u201ctech transfer\u201d from research to product , and enables the team to get research breakthroughs into customer hands without delay .\na big focus of the team today is the skype translator project . in this project we set ourselves an ambitious goal \u2013 to enable successful open - domain conversations between skype users in different parts of the world , speaking different languages . as one might imagine , putting together two error - prone technologies such as speech recognition and machine translation raises some unique challenges .\ni have a strong interest in using syntactic and semantic information to address problems in machine understanding of language . prior to my work in machine translation , i worked on mindnet , a knowledge graph built automatically from text data , including dictionary definitions and example sentences , encarta articles etc , and the application of mindnet to questions answering and information retrieval tasks . i have also worked using semantic representations for summarization and recognizing textual entailment .\nspecial fields : historic recordings and performance styles , late 19th and early 20th century performance practice .\nstudies with louis nagel and marc silverman . historical performance studies with edward parmentier , ken cooper , and will crutchfield . chamber music studies with anton nel , michael tree , and daniel avshalamov .\nsolo , chamber , and concerto performances throughout u . s . , canada , england , hungary . solo and ensemble performances on harpsichord .\n11th march , 2015 is the last date to apply for mbbs , bds . click here to apply now !\n\u00a92018 manipal academy of higher education , manipal . edu , madhav nagar , manipal -

play . analysis of the gamers\u2019 posts reveals that there were two aspects to this . however , one aspect of this was formulated from a discourse of frustrated ergodic pleasure articulating an experiential divide between game and film , while the other aspect was not .\nfor barker and brooks , triangulating their findings across three distinct areas allowed them to make observations on what electing to watch a film like judge dredd means in a social and cultural context . this paper now seeks to triangulate its findings on the gamers\u2019 posts , with the research in part two on the status of the franchise and the film makers .\ngamer 113 altered their view of the film after a second viewing . this gamer paid some considerable attention to the question of game to film adaptation :\nthe critical positions identified did orient the reviews in different ways . the research found that each dominant critical position had separate sets of critical concerns . for example , for resident evil fans , being like the game , the quality of game to film adaptations , and the choice of director for the film were the key critical discourses . the film critics were especially concerned with generic identification , the choice of director , the quality of game to film adaptation , and undertaking what i have termed holistic film criticism . the horror film fans main critical discourse centred on the \u2018scariness\u2019 of the film . these findings are now presented in more detail .\n( the 32 buffalo were shot near my great grandmother ' s former homestead , a place the columnist called\nthe middle of a lot of central colorado nothingness ,\nwhich must make denver the center of everythingness . )\ndespite a brief moment of unity across party lines this week , after the mass shooting in which a republican congressman was critically wounded , the media wars surrounding coverage of president donald trump have been getting louder by the day .\ndirector marc levin highlights the recent effects of hyper -

play and film spectatorship were articulated in a number of ways across the sample . these differences centred on several issues : the frustration of ergodic pleasures , the lack of involvement and empathy with the characters in the film compared to those in the games , spatial - temporal features found in the game but not present \u2013 or indeed possible \u2013 in the film adaptation , and the breaking and bending of game rules . the discourses surrounding the frustration of ergodic pleasures are now discussed in more detail .\nbut how were these ergodic expressions articulated ? what were they saying about watching the film and playing the game and the divide that might exist between the two experiences ? their responses indicated four areas in which their talk was concentrated : 1 . investigation of the landscape and narrative progress , 2 . character apathy , 3 . game rules , 4 . physical pleasures .\nlike the gamers who posted from the dominant resident evil fan position , the film critics also had a concern with game to film adaptations . gamer 4 was sceptical about the quality of the film prior to seeing it because \u2018i expected another videogame adapted to the big screen to score what money it could and the end result would be crap\u2019 ( gamer 4 25 november 2002 ) . gamer 31 was concerned about the game to film genre and had been monitoring the development of the production prior to the film\u2019s release :\nbut how did the games\u2019 players respond to this prequel and its game - like features ? were the game - like features enough to overcome any sense of loss or lack of interactivity , or did they , as heiland suggests , respond to the film as an interactive game rather than a non - interactive film ? and if the latter is the case , what would such a response look like ? this paper seeks to explore if there was a palpable sense of a divide between game and film . the following section outlines the methodology utilised in the research .\nthe thematic analysis of the gamers\u2019 posts also revealed that they were also expressing their views about things beyond the text . i think one of the most important points that barker and brooks seek to make is that watching a film is about much more than the film itself . it is about expectation , preparation , and what comes after the viewing experience , how the film viewer makes sense of what they have seen within wider social and cultural contexts . the gamers in my research demonstrated this , too . two of the most consistent discourses across the sample were a concern with the \u2018nascent genre\u2019 of game - to - film adaptation , and the \u2018debate\u2019 about the choice of directors for the project . both discourses required the gamers to go beyond the film , in their critical assessments .\nthematically these gamers were most concerned with \u2018scares\u2019 and the techniques for achieving them . they showed little interest in the game to film discourse so prevalent in the posts of the resident evil fans and the film critics .\nthe biggest issue for those taking up a dominant horror fan position was whether the film provided enough scares . here the horror film fans drew on dual expectations : the scares they had experienced through playing the games and the scares they anticipated from a product they perceived to be a horror film . interestingly , these gamers did not express the same degree of generic confusion expressed by the film critics . these gamers fully anticipated resident evil to be a scary horror film , just as the games were scary survival horror games .\nin the games , zombies , you learn , are best killed with a couple of shots to the head . however , gamer 54 took great exception to the bending of the rules in the film : \u2018the action was boring and stupid there was on real battle with the zombies and in it they just kept shooting them in the chest magazine after magazine in the chest\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 54 3 january 2004 ) .\ngamer 43\u2019s review was interesting . this gamer was surprised by the film because as a game to film adaptation , it was an average film rather than the bad film they were expecting . the film was deemed to be above average for a game to film adaptation . but this gamer and film critic was most interested in replay value : \u2018overall , resident evil is way above average as far as video game to silver screen goes , however the movie itself only provides enough entertainment to cover you watching it maybe 2 or 3 times , after that the movie becomes kinda boring\u2019 . this replay value was observed time and again in the sample and we shall return to this at the end of this study .\nthe post screening q & a included director marc levin , as well as some of the kids featured in the film .\nas observed by rehak , videogames remediate cinema in that they draw on the tendencies and characteristics of their predecessors . in this regard resident evil the game is no different . but it seems that the film did not remediate the videogame effectively for the gamers . many misidentified the film\u2019s genre as action rather than horror . furthermore for the horror film fans , the film failed as horror because of the lack of scares expected in a horror film . but it did not only fail as horror in this respect because the film also failed as a remediation of the survival horror videogame . this failure , as we have seen , can be found in the lack of empathy for the film\u2019s characters , the lack of the pleasures of ergodic activity associated with game - play , and with the lack of the videogame\u2019s distinctive feel .\ngamer 96 also blames the lack of romero\u2019s input on the film . they state : \u2018god , there is no way to convey the terribleness of paul anderson\u2019s crimes\u2026rent a romero film instead . to think romero could have directed this film brings a tear to my eye\u2019 ( gamer 96 19 january 2003 ) .\nin their application of baxandall\u2019s approach , barker and brooks focus their inquiries on judge dredd across three sites : audiences , production and publicity , the film . this research acknowledges the value in this multi - site approach and as a consequence , i also seek to understand the film adaptation of resident evil within the context of the game\u2019s universe , but also within the context of resident evil as a franchise . the aim here then is to contextualise the gamers\u2019 responses to the adaptation in terms of the film - makers aims and within the ongoing metamorphosis and extension of the resident evil universe ( for fans ) , or franchise ( for capcom ) .\npinedo , isabelle , \u2018recreational terror : postmodern elements of the contemporary horror film\u2019 , in the journal of film and video , vol . 44 , no 1 -

site message board ( imdb ) . in this context , the second most prevalent critical position taken up by the gamers analysed in the sample is the film critic position . of the 118 posts sampled , twenty one gamers expressed their dominant critical views from the film critic position . when combined with those taking up this position in a secondary capacity , some sixty gamers occupy a film critic position . given that the subject of their reviews is a film adaptation of a game and the platform for their views the imdb , it is no surprise that the most prevalent type of critical position is the combination of resident evil fans and film critics ( thirty one posts ) .\nthe findings demonstrated that almost a quarter ( 27 gamers ) of the sample expressed either ergodic pleasures or ergodic frustrations in viewing the film . of these , 18 gamers had occupied the dominant critical position of the resident evil fans , whereas five were primarily film critics , two were videogame fans , and the horror and zombie film fans each had one gamer , respectively .\npat buchanan will tell you it ' s been building for almost 50 years :\nthat sort of really began in earnest in november of 1969 when nixon , after he gave his famous great ' silent majority ' speech , was attacked by the networks immediately .\ngamer 15 took a gamble on the film in spite of being disappointed by game to film adaptations in the past : \u2018only got it because of the videogame series . i knew i was taking a chance because usually video games made into movies really suck\u2019 ( gamer 15 25 february 2003 ) . gamer 49 also decided to give the film a try because they had played the games but had low expectations because of previous game to film adaptations . they write :\ntable 1 demonstrates how the majority of gamers adopted more than one critical position in their critical reviews of the film . by far the most prevalent dominant position is the resident evil fan position \u2013 seventy one of the 118 gamers . across the whole sample , being a resident evil fan is clearly an important critical position for fans to emphasise . if the 118 posts , eighty five gamers expressed the resident evil fan critical position when dominant and secondary positions are combined .\ngiven the pre - existence of this universe , anderson\u2019s approach was to make this first resident evil film a prequel . the action takes place a month before the first game and seeks to provide a history for the franchise . the problem for anderson was to satisfy fans by incorporating enough from the game world but providing something fresh for fans and non - gamer film audiences . in this respect , the film has come under intense criticism for its deviation from the parameters of the orginary game . however , anderson defended his decision by explaining that the film seeks to also bridge a gap between the film and the first and second games . as anderson argues :\nthe bicycle film festival hits minneapolis july 8 - 12 , with cycling related films and events at different locations during the week .\nsometimes , [ anderson ] uses a long shot , usually from above , that shows protagonist and audience surrogate milla jovovich walking across the screen , and the impression it leaves deliberately recalls the exploration sequences of a videogame . the audience will probably be reaching for their control pad during these scenes since the camera angles and shot durations , as well as the placement of scare scenes , have been ripped directly from the resident evil game . this feeling that the film more closely resembles an interactive game than a non - interactive film ( heilman 09 . 04 . 02 urltoken ) .\ngamer 50 sought to place the film within the canon of game to film adaptations by claiming it to be \u2018one of the better\u2019 video game to film adaptations . but it is clear this gamer does not expect much . they write : this movie is no great movie but it is a worthy video game movie\u2019 ( gamer 50 1 november 2003 ) . gamer 72 articulates the same opinion : \u2018ok , video games to films ? not very good admitted . super mario bros attests to that\u2019 ( gamer 72 27 january 2004 ) . for gamer 76 , the problem with game to film adaptations is the ratings system which they suggest is responsible for turning r rated games into pg13 films for children . in a lengthy discussion of this topic , gamer 76 argues :\nsome gamers viewed it as a science fiction film , like gamer 68 who opens their review by labelling the film for the potential reader : anyone who likes sci - fi thrillers that at the end make you want to stop crime the kick ass way , this is a movie for you\u2019 ( gamer 68 5 november 2004 ) . another gamer claims the film is \u2018billed as action / thriller / science fiction / horror film and proceeds to detail the portions of the film where the perceived different genres dominate ( gamer 101 21 august 2004 ) . this generic confusion can also be seen in gamer 115\u2019s post . they argue :\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 .\ngames\u2019 visual devices used in the film were noted by one gamer . gamer 93 likened the camera work to shots from the game . they state :\nsimon isaacs is leading the charge to the playground . with his website fatherly , he wants to change how fathers across the country approach parenting . and he ' s not alone : the largest group of new dads in this country are now millennials . tony dokoupil reports on the changing role of fatherhood and how modern dads differ from fathers of previous generations .\nthe final discourse of frustrated ergodic pleasure identified in this research was the discourse of physical pleasures . barker and brooks noted that physical pleasures \u2013 being done to by a film - formed a prominent vocabulary of involvement and pleasure for their interviewees . these physical aspects were observed in my sample . the horror film fans , for example , were primarily concerned with the generation and quality of \u2018scares\u2019 in the film .\ndecades later , brother and sister elihu and soween are growing up learning the ways of their new , tightly controlled society . as they begin to glimpse the cracks in the system , elihu falls for the daughter of two radical mothers , risking fatal disease and threatening to ignite a bloody revolution . the divide is a searing vision of a future defined by brutal repression , forbidden love and seething insurrection .\ngamer 20 articulated clearly and concisely the activity required of the resident evil game - player and found that the film attempted to work for the spectator in the same way . they state :\naside of this visual continuity , another ergodic aspect involves the differences between the way the film and the games established the rules of combat . for example , the viewer only has to see the bullet - time and slow motion kung fu of the matrix ( 1999 ) once to establish that these seemingly fantastical manoeuvres are within the rules of the film that the audience are tutored to accept .\ni cannot believe powderfinger never got huge in the us . i am a middle age ( 47 ) classic rock fan . . . and powderfinger is , in my estimation , on par or better than u2 , pearl jam . . . any of the all time great bands . . . . silverchair is pretty good too .\nthe discourse concerning anderson\u2019s game fan / player credentials can be encapsulated in this statement : the film is so unlike the game that anderson could not have played the game and is masquerading as a fan in order to convince resident evil\u2019s fan community to accept his prequel and to watch his film .\nthose reading the film from a dominant position of the resident evil fan were more unified , if not wholly so , in their disappointment in the lack of characters from the games . gamer 23 is fairly balanced in their review of the film but notes that the film does have its \u2018downfall\u2019 in the lack of characters from the game . gamer 60 expressed disappointment at the lack of characters from the games and a sense of bafflement as to why such fundamental game features were missing from the adaptation . they state :\nfor this gamer , then , only by playing the games previously can you re - experience this play through the film . feel in this respect adds a new dimension to the sensation of \u2018losing oneself in a film\u2019 . feel is a more tactile proposition in games than in films .\nin january 2005 i finally watched the first film adaptation of the popular game franchise , resident evil . i was not sure what to expect , or what i should be expecting . the divide between watching a film and playing the game seemed like a void and i had no idea how to cross it . after viewing i still had no idea and turned to the imdb resident evil message board to see what others had made of it . and i found similar confusion , but also significant disagreement . i also found , however , that the respondents seemed to have agreed on what they should be disagreeing about . i found this fascinating and so this research project was born .\ngamer 105 cut right to the chase : \u2018the problem with resident evil is that it is basically an action movie masquerading as a horror movie\u2019 ( gamer 105 7 july 2003 ) . a belief that horror has been sacrificed for action was observed several times in the sampled posts and was a constant discourse \u2013 mostly for film critics , but it was observed across all dominant positions . i suggest that expectations drawn from playing resident evil \u2013 a survival horror game \u2013 fuelled these criticisms .\nthe film itself isn\u2019t particularly faithful to the game , but i don\u2019t think it could be really . the game involved you exploring a mansion alone , fighting off beasties and solving puzzles . good idea for a game . bad idea for a film\u2019 ( gamer 28 14 april 2003 ) .\nfor producer bernd eichinger , some scenes in the film are \u2018very close to shots in the game\u2019 ( eichinger 2002 ) , although capcom executive and head of production , yoshiki okamoto sees the relationship between the game and the film in a different way . for okamoto the cinematic elements of the game make it an exciting possibility for adaptation into film . he states : \u2018we\u2019ve been told that the game contains movie elements and we hoped that the game would become a movie as soon as possible\u2019 ( okamoto 2002 ) . the camerawork has been interpreted by critics as resembling some of the angles in the game . heilman ( 2002 ) for example , states in his review of the film :\nthis paper is concerned with how those who had played resident evil \u2013 from here described as gamers \u2013 and who had written about the film had responded to it . however , to provide a fuller analysis , it seemed necessary to contextualise what they were saying with the film maker\u2019s intentions and within the context of the resident evil franchise . as a consequence , this paper asks : how did gamers respond to the adaptation of resident evil in film ? in addressing this question , the paper raises further questions : how far did the film\u2019s makers seek to adapt elements of the game and did the film maker\u2019s adaptations meet the expectations of the gamers ? what does it mean to post on the imdb resident evil message board ? what discourses can be identified in the gamers\u2019 writing and how do they connect with the wider social world ?\na century from now england is hit by a deadly contagion . society is decimated as contact between men and women becomes fatal . under the dictates of an elusive preacher , an unthinkable solution is enforced . separated by the divide , the adult survivors are segregated by gender with men wearing white as a mark of their purity and women \u2013 still infected \u2013 clothed in black as a sign of their sin .\nthe range of responses to the choice of director for the project stem not from anderson\u2019s skills in the direction of the film . rather , the discourses articulated demonstrate the knowledge fans brought with them to their viewing of resident evil .\nfor some gamers , paul anderson and game to film adaptation go hand in hand . for gamer 88 the fact that paul anderson , director of the mortal kombat game to film adaptation , had been given the go - ahead as the director of resident evil almost reduced them to tears . this gamer states :\nthree issues around the choice of director emerged from the analysis of the posts by dominant resident evil fans . the first discourse around direction centres on anderson as a director of previously poor films and his work on mortal kombat was especially panned by this group of gamers . anderson is seen as a game to film specialist and as we have seen in the previous section , that is not something that would impress most resident evil fans . gamer 81 is something of a rarity in that anderson\u2019s game to film work is appreciated : \u2018paul w s anderson has made another great video game movie\u2026the best videogame based movie since the original mortal kombat \u2019 ( gamer 81 4 september 2003 ) .\nmany of those gamers who adopted the dominant resident evil fan position in their posts admitted that they had low expectation of the film because of previous game to film adaptations . this critical position was the most often taken up dominant position . however , the resident evil fans were perhaps the most divided on the success of the film and this can be seen in analysis of their expectations . to clarify this point , i have compiled a table of expectations ( see table 2 below ) .\nfor gamer 116 a sense of generic confusion did undermine the film\u2019s success : \u2018to think of this film as being a horror movie is a gross miscarriage of justice . this is more an action - adventure movie than anything and has nothing to do with horror at all\u2019 ( gamer 116 ) . this gamer made every effort to feel scared by the film , but failed : i tried to feel scared throughout the movie , but there was nothing to make me feel scared\u2019 ( ibid ) . gamer 25 expressed the same frustrations in relation to genre expectations and scares : \u2018you call this a horror film more like action film there was little gore not even scary\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 25 3 march 2003 ) .\nthese gamers\u2019 discussions focussed most closely on the game / film comparison but they were weighted heavily in favour of the originary text and tended to end with an overall verdict on the worthiness of the adaptation . a number of key discourses emerged . these were a concern with how far the film was like or not like the game , how far an adaptation of the game in film should reflect the game , the perceived poor quality of previous films adapted from games and in relation to this last point , the instatement of anderson as the director rather than romero .\nthe fans did not express a consistent view of the adaptation\u2019s storyline . responses on this issue tended to be divided between two positions : resident evil purists who rejected the film\u2019s attempt to historicise and contextualise the resident evil story and who resisted , ignored or misread the film\u2019s prequel intentions , and those resident evil fans who believed that a game replica in film would not work . in terms of the former , gamers 60 , 6 and 41 comments are typical . the language used to describe the story included words like \u2018warped\u2019 , \u2018twisted\u2019 , and \u2018distorted\u2019 . gamer 60 disliked the film\u2019s story and suggested that the reason for their negative view of the story relates to their expectations drawn from the game . gamer 60 states :\nas we have seen , game - to - film adaptations do not offer instant pleasures for these gamers because of the connection the films have to their favourite games . they have to negotiate and overcome expectations of yet another poor game - to - film adaptation . so , it is perhaps unsurprising that some of the gamers responded to anderson as the director of choice in this way . anderson directed mortal kombat , one of the first game - to - film adaptations and in a sense he represents a kind of poster - child for the nascent genre . this status carries with it all the associations and ( low ) expectations of game - to - film adaptation . in this way , this discourse places anderson on the most hated lists of many a gamer as a representative of all that is bad with game - to - film adaptations . this means that this discourse is actually an extension of the game - to - film discourse discussed above .\nfor starters , there is no - one in the film who is actually from the game\u2026milla jovovich ruins it too . the entire film focussed around her and what involvement she has with umbrella . i can tell you that \u2013 none ! she is the main character and yet is not in any of the games\u2019 ( gamer 67 22 november 2004 ) .\ntwo of the horror film fans linked the choice of director to the scares they anticipated . gamer 42 argued : \u2018i feel this movie would have been more horrific if mr romero had written the screenplay and directed the film\u2019 ( gamer 42 8 may 2003 ) . gamer 69 on the other hand liked the scares anderson achieved in the adaptation of mortal kombat and was satisfied with the scares in resident evil : \u2018just like with mortal kombat from the computer game , paul anderson has once again succeeded in creating an amazingly horrifying yet interesting film\u2019 ( gamer 69 31 october 2004 ) .\nin the first part of this paper , i established a set of similarities and differences between games and films . this was done for two reasons . firstly , i wanted to understand more fully the differences between games and films . and secondly , i wanted to begin to map any potential experiential divide i might encounter in the gamers\u2019 posts . it was revealed in the findings that almost a quarter of gamers commented on the game - play experience and the differences between game - play and spectatorship .\nthe\u2019 manson score\u2019 is then commended and then gamer 2 ponders the relation between the ending and the resident evil games , pointing out that they could probably do with \u2018a trivia site\u2019 to help them fill in the gaps in their knowledge of the resident evil universe . gamer 2 ends in characteristic film critic style , by pondering also whether they would recommend this film to others :\nas suggested , this physical dimension also alludes to what the game is doing to them . mostly , the game brings shocks , scares , and jumps , and the film was measured by gamer 7 in this respect : \u2018both the game and the movie are edge of the seat fright fests that will definitely get your heart racing\u2019 ( gamer 7 9 december 2002 ) . similarly gamer 27 measures the film\u2019s success through \u2018jumps\u2019 but found it wanting : \u2018i was expecting a spooky mansion with plenty of jumps and chilling special effects . whilst playing the videogame i jumped hundreds of times and i jumped no times during this film\u2019 ( gamer 27 23 april 2003 ) . for gamer 58 the film and the game physically captured them in different ways . for them the film \u2018\u2026doesn\u2019t make you jump from your chair , instead it glues you to it\u2019 ( gamer 58 13 november 2003 ) .\nthe discourse surrounding the romero / anderson story is also interesting in the context of barker and brooks\u2019 findings . the authors argue that conflicts and stresses surround films and these can have an impact on audience expectations and indeed , on their decisions as to whether to view the film or not ( ibid : 232 ) . i think this argument is borne out very well in the case of my research and the gamers\u2019 views on the sacking of romero from the film and his replacement with anderson . this decision was rarely viewed as anything other than a mistake by the gamers sampled . for them , the promise of realising the intertextual relations between the game , the film and romero\u2019s status as author of the living dead films was hard to resist and the disappointment expressed by these gamers when they learned that he had been fired was palpable . the discourse articulated here , then , is best described in this statement : the film partly failed as film and as adaptation because romero was the natural choice of director and he was fired .\nit was clear from the analysis that the gamers took up a number of different positions in their critical appraisals of the film . by critical position , i mean the specific critical angle the posts were coming from . were they more concerned with how the film compared to the game , or did their critical reviews centre on reviewing the film itself ? furthermore , the gamers typically adopted more than one critical position . however , in the vast majority of these had a preferred or dominant position that could be determined from the analysis of their critical views . the critical positions identified in the research were : resident evil fans , film critics , horror film fans , zombie film fans and videogames fans . it is important to note that a distinction has been drawn between resident evil fans and videogame fans because not all of the videogames fans were also fans of the game . they were , primarily , fans of the form ( videogames ) rather than the content ( the game ) or in some cases , other types of content ( other videogames ) and those articulating from this critical position made this clear in their posts . table 1 below shows the different types of critical positions observed in the analysis .\nthe often overlooked fact that as a re gamer , you usually have at least in part a lot of information in the world around you . you know things you couldn\u2019t otherwise know . for example , how things work , maps , where things are , etc . this movie does a great job of keeping the viewer informed in this manner , without going so far as to ruin the surprises\u2019 ( gamer 20 10 february 2003 ) .\nin addition to these game - like features , the film also sought to emulate the investigative mode of the game . this is done through the use of labyrinths . as set designer , richard bridgland explained : \u2018when you play the game you never know what is going to be around that corridor\u2019 ( bridgland 2002 ) . one of the stars , michelle rodriguez reiterates this . her take on the narrative flow of the film mirrors that of the game . she says : \u2018you have to solve things at every turn you take\u2019 ( rodriguez 2002 ) . bridgland makes clear the intentions of the film makers in tackling the adaptation . he states :\nthis study has attempted to understand gamers\u2019 responses to the film adaptation of resident evil in great detail , getting close to their reviews . critical positions were identified as were key discourses in their posts . but this is not enough to ensure the utility and validity of this pursuit . the findings must now be connected to social and cultural spheres . here i reiterate that my intentions are similar to barker and brooks , who state that they \u2018want to be able to understand\u2026how people\u2019s responses to films like dredd can be studied as social phenomena\u2019 ( barker and brooks 1998 : 115 ) .\nthis film had two possible directions . it could have been a gore fest zombie film , or a psychological deep thriller\u2026unfortunately , paul w s anderson seemingly has trouble with this concept and opted to follow both . he ends up with one of the messiest films i\u2019ve ever witnessed ( gamer 115 4 january 2005 ) .\npoint - of - view is used in largely the same way in survival horror games as are used in film . as king and krzywinska state : \u2018predetermined framing of this kind acts like that of a film , to some extent , directing the attention of the player and creating visual diversity through shifts of perspective , although at the expense of player freedom\u2019 ( 2002 : 13 ) .\nin a sense , this discourse teaches gamers to expect to be disappointed when they view a videogame adaptation in film , but keeps them interested \u2013 and viewing \u2013 with a promise that the adaptations will eventually improve . for gamers , this offers a kind of promise of deferred pleasure . for the film and games industries , this means a steady supply of hopeful punters . the veracity of this statement can be seen perhaps in my sample . a quick count reveals that 26 of the 118 gamers sampled were looking out for the sequel \u2013 11 of whom disliked the first adaptation . only two gamers said that the film was so bad they would avoid the sequel at all costs . around a quarter of the gamers had also seen the film more than twice \u2013 some of these to their \u201cdisgust\u201d and \u201csurprise\u201d .\nto sum up here then , i have argued that several discourses have been identified through the course of this research that in my view provide interesting insights into the ways gamers responded to the film adaptation of resident evil . some of these discourses relate to the filmic plain ( game to film adaptations , choice of director ) , some to industrial and cultural practices ( game to film adaptations , low brow games , and some to the specific pleasures of the game ( being like the game ) and game - play ( frustrated ergodic pleasures ) . in my conclusion , i attempt to draw the research together \u2013 audience , film and franchise \u2013 in order to assess how far an understanding of all three facilitates a better understanding of the social and cultural significance of media adaptations and their audiences .\nnot all thought that the feel had been successfully recreated in the film . gamer 46 attempted to speak for disappointed resident evil fans and lamented the elements missing in the film that made the game so unique and special . they state : \u2018we wanted to endless scares , suspense , a creepy environment . we deeply wished to see the dark atmosphere present in the game , but we get nothing of this\u2019 ( gamer 46 27 july 2003 ) .\nfew of these gamers had anything positive to say about game to film adaptations . it was noted , however , that some of the gamers thought that anderson\u2019s resident evil was the best attempt yet .\nlittlerock is actually about families , born into and stumbled across in the middle of nowhere . it begins with the quintessential american disconnect \u2014 an automotive breakdown in the midst of a road trip . japanese tourists \u2014 brother and sister \u2014 on a genealogical pilgrimage to the manzanar world war ii japanese - american internment camp find themselves stranded in a motel full of hopped - up trailer trash . shit ensues : bike rides , shotgun beers , drug deals and one of the most exquisitely etched love triangles ever not written .\nas krzywinska noted , investigation and exploration are rewarded in game - play . some spoke of this in their reviews . for example , gamer 12 attempted to explain why the film disappointed them . for this gamer , the film did not reflect the game\u2019s premise of \u2018\u2026a lone character in a genuinely spooky mansion never knowing what unspeakable horror was round the next corner\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 12 21 december 2002 ) .\nfor the gamers who articulated this discourse , clearly , anderson had failed . game avatars do not require in - depth characterisation as players bring themselves to the avatar . film characters do require more depth of characterisation , their motivations need to be established and they need to be situated in relation to other characters . the archetypes in the film adaptation were neither fish nor fowl and for some this rendered them useless .\nthis part of the paper has sought to underline some of the key similarities and differences between games and films identified in literature drawn from games studies and films studies . as noted earlier , the film - makers also sought to play with the differences and similarities between the game and film versions of resident evil and the game - like aspects were picked up on by a number of critics . but how did gamers respond to the adaptation ? can issues relating to the differences between game - play and film viewing be found in the gamers\u2019 responses ? in broader terms , this paper seeks to contribute to an understanding of how contemporary users of media products negotiate their inter - medial experiences .\nmy own exposure to the small form collective came through artist and filmmaker lee lynch , whose work i have followed ( disclosure : and occasionally collaborated on , in a celebrity cameo capacity ) for a few years . while he was still a student at calarts , lynch gave me a copy of his student feature transposition of the great vessels ( a fictionalized account of the auteur ' s literal conception \u2014 greeeat ! ) , which i shelved alongside other student videos i ' d accumulated over the years ; pretty low in the rotation .\na large number of barker and brooks\u2019 respondents were fans of judge dredd and readers of 2000ad . in their vip entitled \u201cdredd\u2019s deserts\u201d , the viewers\u2019 patterns of talk revolved around the discussion of \u2018what judge dredd was really like , and what he deserves\u2019 ( ibid ) . this vip articulated \u2018a language of insiders\u2019 knowing appreciation\u2019 ( ibid ) . i anticipate patterns similar to this will emerge from my research . resident evil fans , like dredd fans are in a sense stake holders , and curators of knowledge . how would they respond to the film makers\u2019 attempts to assign the film as a prequel ? will they accept this new history of the resident evil universe ? and if they are concerned with the film being \u2018like the game\u2019 , what does that actually mean , since games and film offer similar but also different pleasures ?\nthe discourses surrounding the choice of director are complex and also reveal how work is done by viewers prior to the viewing of a film . as we saw in the findings , criticisms relating to the choice of director were found with some regularity and consistency in the posts of the those expressing the dominant critical position of the resident evil fans , but they were also evidenced in other critical positions with less frequency . the three specific discourses relating to the choice of director revolved around anderson as specialist in the already denigrated game to film \u2018genre\u2019 , anderson\u2019s credentials as a fan / player of the games , and the romero sacking .\nthe videogame fans were not the only ones for whom the differences between game - play and film spectatorship mattered . in this section , the sample is taken as a whole i . e . irrespective of critical position in order to examine the ergodic aspects they felt did or not deliver a game - like experience . did gamers articulate a sense of loss or lack from game to film ? were viewers / gamers of resident evil frustrated spectators ?\ncoyotes lope across our land all the time . two days ago three does trotted single file along a ridge about 60 yards from the house , as i turned to watch them , i saw a single coyote in pursuit , followed by a straggling pup . the survival parade dipped down into the wash , then back up the other side of a trail that connects to one of our regular mountain bike and hiking trails . a minute later , the deer had switched back my way and were headed around my sister ' s house , the coyote still about 20 yards back , the pup nowhere to be seen .\nit is clear from the posts that measuring the likeness to the game was a consistent preoccupation for those assessing the film from the dominant position of the resident evil fan . in the main , anderson seems to have correctly identified the monsters that the fans would like to see brought to life . but the main areas of contention for these gamers centred on the non - adherence to the resident evil story , the lack of characters from the game , and interestingly , the concept of feel .\nanderson also sought to bring the sets from the game to life by building replicas : \u2018 . . . you\u2019ll recognize pieces of hardware and sets from the game . we rebuilt some of the sets from the game . like in resident evil 2 , there\u2019s a big train . we built that train\u2019 ( ibid ) . in addition , anderson ensured that plot elements from the games were included in the film and various characters from the games were referenced . as anderson states : \u2018there are story points and references to characters . it really operates within the world of the video game\u2019 ( ibid ) . the film departed from the game world in a bid to bring what anderson described as \u2018added value\u2019 for fans . for example , while having favourite monsters from the game world in the film , the director added a new monster . he states :\nthe gamers posting on imdb\u2019s resident evil message board had a point in posting : to varying degrees they are all recording and publishing their views on the film for themselves and others they anticipate are like - minded . there is no reply facility so gamers do not talk to each other about the film . are they as solitary and \u2018sad\u2019 as the fanboy tag suggests ? do they show awareness of talking to others , as gamers , as fans of resident evil and / or film reviewers or are they locked in their own private , obsessive worlds ? what , ultimately , does their participation on this site mean ?"]}

( dies happy )\nthe city\u2019s good looks have provided the backdrop to some of the world\u2019s most popular movies and blockbuster franchises ; there is a high concentration of glitzy hotels and seductive restaurants , making it a firm favourite with movie stars ; and the city is home to the world\u2019s oldest film festival , taking place from 28 august to 7 september this year as part of the venice biennale . on top of all this , there is the venetians\u2019 near obsessive love affair with hollywood .\nlove it ! ! ! ! passionate kiss ep . both r awesome : ) : ) : ) : )\ni loved this little story - - it takes a couple of twists and turns that makes the ending ironic and unobvious . the year the story was written ( 1894 ) is included , and this adds interest to the content of the story . the fact that louise recognizes her oppression from the male - dominated society of the time is interesting to me . for some reason ( i don\u2019t know why ) i haven\u2019t read much work in which a woman of the time period speaks of feeling that a long life with her husband is undesirable . but when she realizes her husband is dead , louise\u2019s view of a long life changes from dread to hope .\nthere are other significant differences in the film adaptation of the story . in addition to echoing proulx\u2019s use of place and nature to enhance the story , the film also used music very effectively as an enhancement . a beautiful , simple score by gustavo santaolalla features a lone guitar , with long silences in the melody , a perfect complement to the themes of the story . the filmmakers did not choose to try to re - create proulx\u2019s device of book - ending the beginning and ending of the story with descriptions of ennis\u2019 reminiscences of jack . also , the character of ennis\u2019 oldest daughter , alma , jr . , is developed much more in the film version than the book , and she is portrayed as a counterpoint to ennis . quiet like her father , \u201cjunior , \u201d as ennis calls her , also has a difficult time expressing herself . however , the message seems to be that despite their similarities , she is promised a happy and fulfilled life of love with her new husband , in stark contrast to her lonely , homosexual father .\n? ? when miss bose ' s husband starts looking into her past . the fact that the affair is renewed as a result of the husband ' s groundless suspicions is an irony that is not to be taken lightly in a film that is completely without intentional humor .\ni first saw a paperback version of eliade ' s bengal nights in 1995 . i recognized eliade ' s name from texts assigned in a survey course on world religions that i had taken as a university freshman , and i also recognized the title because i was aware that a french film with that same title had been made in 1987 - 88 , in calcutta . seeing that the book was about a\npassionate love affair\nbetween a western man and an indian woman , i purchased the book .\nas with most of antonioni ' s films , the movement of the eyes tells the truth of the subtext , revealing the vacuity of words . paola and guido only make eye contact when in conflict and avert it when telling love words . the story is compelling and has a centrifugal effect on the viewer while the characters by contrast set us into a centripetal spinning away from it . brilliant photography and very poor sound .\na great combination of actress , actor , writer , director and music director . the story is not my type , i dont like any stories about affair but i like classic music . at the first i wasnt sure if i can finish this drama but yoo in ha and kim hee ae performance made me cant stop watching this drama . well it is of course not a drama for teenager who love a lovely dovely drama . full of realistic , a dark stories of someone life . sometimes life is not as lovely as we hope . i can understand why hye won love the talanted sun jae and i can understand why sun jae fall in love with the charismatic hye won . anyway , i give a thumb up for the music director . he / she can make this drama beautiful and dark with the music . i really enjoy all the music . and also for the director , must be hard to make this drama , with his kind of story , to be more accaptable , but he did awesome . \uc218\uace0\ud588\uc5b4\uc694 . \ub4dc\ub77c\ub9c8\ub294 \ub108\ubb34 \uc774\uc058\ub2e4 . \uc74c\ub9c9 \ub3c4 \ub108\ubb34 \uc544\ub984\ub2f5\ub2e4 .\ni ' ve been coming to this page like 15 times since 2014 . . . just wondering should i watch it or not . to be honest , i ' m not a fan of a noona - doengseng love story , especially if it ' s 20 years apart ( just reading the synopsis already made my mood down )\nopening credits are on pages of a book , through which a female hand is paging .\nthe story and much of mr . antonioni ' s treatment of it recall the kind glossy soapopera movie that was immensely popular in europe a quarter of a century ago , before europeans discovered the edifying joys of television drama . it ' s about the impossible love of a poor auto salesman ( massimo girotti ) and his former sweetheart ( lucia bose ) , who has married a rich milan textile manufacturer and moved bag and baggage into the upper classes , where she ' s lonely but very happy to be overdressed .\non reading the story this time around i see a much more positive side to the story . i probably also see it a little more objectively now . there are many signs of life in the story that represent a re - birth of this young woman . prior to her husband ' s death she dreaded each day and was \u201cpressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body . \u201d now that he is dead she sees the potential for life ( her life ) with phrases like \u201cnew spring life , breath of rain , and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves . \u201d most of the story deals with her quick accepance of her husband ' s death and her quick acceptance of the new possibilities for her own life and soul . the title of the story would seem to reinforce this idea of quick acceptance . it indicates that her important transition took place within one short hour . normally people take months to fully come to terms with the death of a family member . mrs . mallard , however , is quick to put it all into perspective .\nwow ! ! ! what a way to end the week with episode 6 . great show . i love the subtleties and the attention to detail .\ni am going to watch the drama , coz i am a fan of ah in yoo , i love his acting prowess . i ' m going to wathc it next week .\nromantic love takes many forms in wuthering heights : the grand passion of heathcliff and catherine , the insipid sentimental languishing of lockwood , the coupleism of hindley and frances , the tame indulgence of edgar , the romantic infatuation of isabella , the puppy love of cathy and linton , and the flirtatious sexual attraction of cathy and hareton . these lovers , with the possible exception of hareton and cathy , are ultimately self - centered and ignore the needs , feelings , and claims of others ; what matters is the lovers ' own feelings and needs .\nwho was l . frank baum and where did his story come from ? in celebration of his birth , we explore the imagination of the author who created the beloved children ' s book series .\nthe trouble with the film is not that their problems are mini . to paraphrase claude chabrol , there are no small problems , only small films . in a better movie we might he able to take seriously miss bose ' s inability to cast aside her life of luxury , and mr . girotti ' s inability to see her for the bore she is . but \u201cstory of a love affair\u201d is tacky . it seems to share miss bose ' s fascination for high society , which , as shown in the movie , means playing bridge all afternoon and throwing fur coats floors .\nah , venice . its film festival can only mean one thing : love . and food . and frocks . and photo opportunities on a gondola . oh , and films . but this year ' s fest , so far at least , looks to be all about the love\ninterestingly , this device of menacing weather to frame these scenes was not used in the film . however , nature and place do play crucial roles in the cinematography . for marketing purposes , the film\u2019s tagline is \u201clove is a force of nature . \u201d this suggestion that that ennis\u2019 and jack\u2019s love was a force of nature over which they had no control might be one meaning of the use of nature as symbol in this story . but , neither proulx nor the film\u2019s director of photography , rodrigo prieto , uses nature to represent this message solely . rather prieto\u2019s photography captures the magnificence of the natural setting , while successfully echoing proulx\u2019s use of the outdoor environment to suggest both natural beauty as well as the feeling of remoteness , isolation and loneliness of the american western terrain .\na wealthy industrialist becomes curious about his trophy wife paola\u2019s past and hires a private investigator . the detective discovers that she had fallen desperately in love with the handsome guido as a young girl , and may have participated in a crime to win his hand\u2026\ninstead of chilling and enjoying the movie , emma kindly decided to live tweet . bad news for emma ' s thumbs , good news for love actually fans .\nawww . . . young man really is in love , they both do . real love holds no boundaries . . . true love knows no reason , no boundaries , no distance , it just flows when it ' s there . . . nobody shall cease . . . no inhibitions . open ended story but both showed compassion most likely they ' ll wait and decide to stay together . . . who knows ? as what lee sun jae said she ' s his home and even though they ended up breaking up , at least they gave it a try . love is more painful when you lost it as dyland park says , in angel eyes : - )\na touching drama about love , age gap , poignancy of life , rich and poor how they live their life and values and also an examination of the life on how have one lived done pretty well that focuses more on naturalness and substance with a touch of candy but not too much .\njust out of curiosity . . . does anyone have any ideas about what the title of the story suggests ? what about the idea that louise may have died of guilt ? maybe she thought her husband was actually a ghost . she did scream when she saw him .\non set and reported dedication to the role hasn\u2019t really amounted to much on screen . his chemical romance with harley quinn is an intriguingly toxic love affair , a morally questionable relationship that we certainly don\u2019t see often in a superhero blockbuster . more joker and harley , and less \u2026 everybody else would have resulted in something far more interesting than the zombie shoot - \u2019em - up we were left with .\nthis story is both humorous and is valuable in a historical perspective . it is first a commentary on the feelings that a woman trapped into marriage during this time period may have experienced . marriage may have seemed to be an interminable \u201ctrap\u201d and the only \u201chonorable\u201d way out for a woman may have been through death of her husband . this story is ironic in that the narrator ' s death is attributed to being overcome with great joy , when in fact she died of a combination of shock and disapointment . i liked this story , and i think that despite the time that the story was written , it is very easy to relate to . it also presents the way death can encourage many different feelings at once . the narrator admits that she will probably miss her husband , but she can also see the years of freedom stretching into the future .\nclifford collins calls their love a life - force relationship , a principle that is not conditioned by anything but itself . it is a principle because the relationship is of an ideal nature ; it does not exist in life , though as in many statements of an ideal this principle has implications of a profound living significance . catherine ' s conventional feelings for edgar linton and his superficial appeal contrast with her profound love for heathcliff , which is\nan acceptance of identity below the level of consciousness .\ntheir relationship expresses\nthe impersonal essence of personal existence ,\nan essence which collins calls the\nlove as addiction . is what catherine and heathcliff call love and generations of readers have accepted as ideal love really an addiction ? stanton peele argues that romantic or passion love is in itself an addiction . what exactly does he mean by addiction ? an addiction exists when a person ' s attachment to a sensation , an object , or another person is such as to lessen his appreciation of and ability to deal with other things in his environment , or in himself , so that he has become increasingly dependent on that experience as his only source of gratification . individuals who lack direction and commitment , who are emotionally unstable , or who are isolated and have few interests are especially vulnerable to addictions . an addictive love wants to break down the boundaries of identity and merge with the lover into one identity . lacking inner resources , love addicts look outside themselves for meaning and purpose , usually in people similar to themselves . even if the initial pleasure and sense of fulfillment or satisfaction does not last , the love - addict is driven by need and clings desperately to the relationship and the lover . catherine , for example , calls her relationship\na source of little visible delight , but necessary .\nthe loss of the lover , whether through rejection or death , causes the addict withdrawal symptoms , often extreme ones like illness , not eating , and faintness . the addict wants possession of the lover regardless of the consequences to the loved one ; a healthy love , on the other hand , is capable of putting the needs of the beloved first .\na couple ' s big dreams give way to a life full of unexpected sadness and unexpected joy .\ni pour a few fingers into a flimsy plastic cup . bits of grain float to the top .\ni did not expect a story that would give a semi history lesson . i was a 23 year old woman who remembers the whole liz taylor epic . i would only recommend this book to people who like to read glorified history stories .\nthis drama always makes me on my toes . . . so afraid to watch them together worried for them to get caught . i hate and love the love affair , feel sorry sometimes love has to be that way and life can be so cruel . i just in episode 9 when i wrote this , and the character great and daring acting kept me from one to another ; the moment i want to quit here comes another heart thump plot line . i wish they can live together as a couple but in reality especially in asian country finally the woman will back to his family life and the boy will find his another true love , the husband will not grant the divorce just to keep his ego while he actually never cares anything about the wife well being\nthe tragedy of this story is that not only do ennis and jack lose each other , but they also lose themselves , and are unable to clearly articulate their love or live satisfactory lives . they are lost in memory , fantasy , fear and the constraints of their society . \u201cit\u2019s because of you that i\u2019m like this \u2013 nothing , nobody , \u201d cries ennis toward the end of the story . and , jack longs to be freed of his feelings , pleading , \u201ci wish i knew how to quit you , \u201d trying to deny the depth of his affection for ennis , as mendelsohn points out in his essay .\nif you like danielle steele , you ' ll love this . set in ireland , carmel believes she was abandoned at birth but a facebook message reveals her past .\nthe unsurpassed beauty of antonioni ' s visual art lifts this fairly average story and it ' s people into the exalted realm of the senses . each scene is so tastefully done , and one can see the slight differences in each segment , yet the film works seamlessly , a beautiful piece of work by one of the all time masters of film .\nthe pair , who had earlier parted full of guilt when they did nothing to prevent the accidental death of mr . girotti ' s fiancee , are reunited , first in fear , then in love ,"]}

( mephisto ) directs and dame kiri te kanawa ' s singing voice adorns this comedy of life , love , art and happiness - pursued not in that order but all at once . romantic comedy at its finest , meeting venus is destined for curtain calls !\ni imagine that if grand opera were really like this , there would not be any of it . on the other hand , productions and whole seasons are lost because of labor disputes , and the realism of\nmeeting venus\nbegins to shade over into the satire of\nthis is spinal tap\nin the sequence where the right union man cannot be found to press the button to raise the curtain .\nalthough\nmeeting venus\nwhich opens today at the fine arts and takes it title from the character in\ntannhauser ,\nis steeped in the refined atmosphere of grand opera , its conception of artistic ferment recalls other backstage films about other realms , like francois truffaut ' s\nday for night\nand bob fosse ' s\nall that jazz .\nthe characters ' various romances , rivalries and insecurities are skillfully coaxed toward a creative triumph , while the film maker also takes time to savor the human comedy at hand . istvan szabo , the director of\nmephisto\nand\ncolonel redl ,\nmay not match truffaut ' s subtle wit or fosse ' s galvanizing energy , but he has a wry , bemused outlook that keeps\nmeeting venus\non track . and this film ' s heightened political outlook gives it an added dimension .\nany film which bills itself , as indeed this one does , as being about \u0093life , love , music and the chaotic pursuit of happiness ! \u0094 deserves to be given the widest possible berth in the interest of preserving good taste alone . that particular option being closed to this reviewer , it is an enormous relief to report that meeting venus is actually really rather an entertaining , if somewhat low - key melodrama and a good deal less saccharine than its aforementioned blurb would suggest .\nbehind the scenes in the elegant world of grand opera , there is at least as much scheming , flirting and back - stabbing as there is anywhere else . that is the message of\nmeeting venus ,\na thoroughly enjoyable backstage drama that also functions as a political parable , since the opera company under consideration is a hotbed of prickly national stereotypes .\nthis is the opera europa ,\none member of the film ' s large international cast explains .\nhere you can be misunderstood in six different languages .\nthere is also a seventh : the language of love .\nthe version of tannh\u00e4user that can be heard in the movie is performed by kiri te kanawa as elisabeth , ren\u00e9 kollo as tannh\u00e4user , h\u00e5kan hageg\u00e5rd as wolfram von eschenbach and waltraud meier as venus with the london philharmonia orchestra conducted by marek janowski . the composer david bedford provided extra orchestrations and music for the film .\nmeeting venus\nhas musical credits that are at least as critical as its dramatic ones , since much of the film ' s appeal lies in the musical backdrop for its story . most notable are kiri te kanawa , whose voice is heard as karin anderson ' s , and the philharmonia orchestra of london , which provides accompaniment . in this film ' s opening scenes , actors playing orchestra members are seen scratching their backs with bows and flying paper airplanes , which contributes to the air of casualness that is gradually banished as the production takes shape . by the time of the film ' s stirring ending , it ' s clear that each of these incidents , no matter how small , has played a role in shaping an opening night ' s triumph .\nwhen this movie was released in german movie theaters i was very compelled . glenn close as the famous swedish soprano and niels arestrup ( i never caught any movies with him after\nmeeting venus\nand wonder what he ' s doing now ?

inspiring production such as the one that closes this film .\ni ordered this movie because it was the first one my boyfriend and i saw together when we first went dating , so it has sentimental value for me . i remembered the movie to be special , with dry humor yet entertaining and so romantic , that i wanted it to be part of my treasured dvd collection . apart from that glenn close is amazing in her role ! i recommend it especially for the opera fans .\nhaving seen this movie and raving about it years ago ( rented from blockbuster ) . i was surprised when attempting to purchase , it was unavailable . but i kept checking up on amazon and was thrilled when weeks later it was for sale . everyone expects drama from opera but an adult comedy , with the supreme glenn close the most glorious music of wagner ( in bits and pieces so even the most operaphobic could tolerate ) and dame kiri te kanawa , surprisingly handling the music with flair ( she is not known as a wagnerian ) combine into a delightful human comedy for music - lovers , film - lovers and glenn close - lovers .\nfor classical music fans this film is an absolute delight , but even if you are not into opera you will love it . it is a great and complicated love story between a diva and a conductor . the film is also a wonderfully drawn vignette of the cultural clashes and ego - battles that accompany the birth of a great opera production . when i first read about the movie i had trouble seeing glenn close in the role of an opera diva , but she does a marvelous job , and her lip - synching to the absolutely divine soundtrack of kiri te kanawa is really pretty good . her counterpart nils arestrup does a wonderful job as well , playing the introvert , yet passionate conductor , for whom the whole paris opera experience is alien and strange in more than one way . the soundbites from wagner ' s tannhaeuser are well - picked and enchanting . some people may find the overall storyline predictable , but that does not take away from the overall very high quality of this movie\none of my favorite movies of all time ! ok , so i ' m an opera singer and know each and every one of the types portrayed here , including the long - suffering conductor who is a dead ringer in every way to the first conductor i worked with professionally . but even if you aren ' t you ' ll love it too . and it ' s topical , too ! a may 2013 production of tannh\u00e4user in d\u00fcsseldorf was just almost cancelled for its nazi themes , though there ' s just the one such ballet scene in the film .\ni wanted to see a film with classical music and the world of musicians as a main theme and got what i wanted . well -

famous swedish diva , makes a perfect centerpiece for the film ' s romantic intrigues , which constantly threaten to upstage the production of wagner ' s\ntannhauser\nthat is in the works . as karin anderson , she makes a spectacularly nonchalant grand entrance by arriving late at the paris opera house where rehearsals have begun and by offering genteelly effusive greetings to everyone except the conductor , zoltan szanto ( niels arestrup ) , who gets a dirty look .\nevery bit the prima donna , karin is feeling spiteful over remarks she thinks zoltan made regarding her age , sexual preference and general operatic talent . zoltan , for his part , is almost too busy to notice , because he is being slyly pursued by most of the young women in the company and because he has a wife and daughter back home in budapest .\ndear edith , everything moves so slowly here , apparently due to democracy ,\nhe writes in one of his many letters home , letters that grow less and less candid as events in paris begin to set off sparks .\ni cannot mix up my work with my private life ,\nzoltan eventually declares during an afternoon tryst in karin ' s hotel room . and both of them burst into giggles at that .\nis it my face that irritates them or just the stale smell of eastern europe ?\nzoltan wonders , as his passport is too closely examined by french officials in the film ' s plain , almost pedestrian opening scenes . in this way , mr . szabo ' s characters constantly combine personal and political attributes , even when - - especially when - - they are reduced to the level of calling one another names . resorting to crude national stereotypes takes on the quality of caricature , as do various arguments about the fate of european communism , arguments that inevitably go nowhere . from the company director with a socialist past to the short , stocky tannhauser , who is accused of\ngerman aggressiveness\nby a colleague , those in the film wear their national or political identity on their sleeves .\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 .\nthere are also more than enough eccentricities to go around , from the huge , amorous , spaghetti - loving diva who is karin ' s co - star to the debonair , balding office assistant whose exact sex is a mystery . mr . szabo allows the film ' s many individual characters to emerge sharply , and he has assembled a remarkably well - rounded international cast . among the more conspicuous players are erland josephson as the gentlemanly company director ; maria de madeiros , who starred in\nhenry and june\nand flashes zoltan her most cryptic and inviting smile , and the arresting dutch actress johanna ter steege , who starred in\nthe vanishing ,\nas a singer who fights zoltan ' s favoritism toward the utterly magnetic karin .\nms . close ' s serene , ladylike bearing is not an asset in every role , but this time it works wonderfully well , especially when combined with the avid seductiveness she brings to the character . mr . arestrup , at first stern and a little drab , proves to be an equally fine choice , since he moves so easily into a conductor ' s courtly , dedicated manner , one that easily explains his popularity with women in the company . dorottya udvaros , a hungarian actress , has some powerful moments with mr . arestrup as zoltan ' s proud , angry wife , who discovers her husband ' s affair and reacts with exceptional fury .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\nwith the headline : review / film ; real -

over serving as a commentary on unfolding events back at the orchestra pit .\nas opening night looms closer , moreover , szanto finds himself increasingly besieged by mutinous musicians , predatory leading ladies and more bureaucratic red - tape than he can possibly hope to unravel . to cap it all , he embarks on an ill - judged liaison with anderson \u0097 although close , her haircut straight out of coronation street and a wardrobe apparently tailored from potato sacks , makes an unlikely object of desire \u0097 and the scene is set for a showdown of truly wagnerian proportions .\nindeed , peppering his script with political in - jokes ( \u0093everything moves so slowly here , something to do with democracy\u0094 ) and references ( \u0093just because the american thinks he can bomb libya or invade panama he thinks he can push us around . \u0094 ) , szabo uses the petty in - fighting of his cast not only to poke a well - meaning finger at creative folk in general but also as a metaphor for what was actually happening in europe . in many ways , it illustrates the contradictions inherent in the term united europe and explains to some extent why \u0097 with this very honourable exception , rescued from columbia pictures by the ten - exiting david puttnam \u0097 the european film co - production has never really taken off .\nszabo , reknowned for his ability to merge the personal with the political and for his excellent handling of actors , pulls it off again here with characteristic wit and sensitivity .\nauto suggestions are available once you type at least 3 letters . use up arrow ( for mozilla firefox browser alt + up arrow ) and down arrow ( for mozilla firefox browser alt + down arrow ) to review and enter to select .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nlimited -

a film by owen land paris , france : kunsthalle bern & paraguay press , 2011 unknown $ 25 . 00\nfinally , the french new wave , as the european modern cinema , is focused on the technique as style itself . a french new wave film - maker is first of all an author who shows in its film his own eye on the world . on the other hand the film as the object of knowledge challenges the usual transitivity on which all the other cinema was based ,\nundoing its cornerstones : space and time continuity , narrative and grammatical logics , the self - evidence of the represented worlds .\nin this way the film - maker passes\nthe essay attitude , thinking \u2013 in a novelist way \u2013 on his own way to do essays .\nthe auteurs of this era owe their popularity to the support they received with their youthful audience . most of these directors were born in the 1930s and grew up in paris , relating to how their viewers might be experiencing life . they were considered the first film generation to have a\nfilm education\n, knowledge of and references to film history . with high concentration in fashion , urban professional life , and all - night parties , the life of france ' s youth was being exquisitely captured .\nusing light - weight portable equipment , hand - held cameras and requiring little or no set up time , the new wave way of film - making presented a documentary style . the films exhibited direct sounds on film stock that required less light . filming techniques included fragmented , freeze - frames , discontinuous editing , and long takes . the combination of objective realism , subjective realism , and authorial commentary created a narrative ambiguity in the sense that questions that arise in a film are not answered in the end .\nthe last scene of the film shows edouard being back at the dive , continuing to work there under the false name of charlie , as he continues to play piano for the townspeople .\nmichel ciment champions queen kelly ( a popular choice ) , sternberg and bunuel . the ideal erotic film , he says , would stand at an equal distance between stroheim , sternberg and bunuel .\nhe later told a reporter that he wanted to shock the audience that had loved the 400 blows by making a film that would\nplease the real film nuts and them alone .\nhe previously had several ideas for films about children , but was afraid of repeating himself in his second film . he told a reporter ,\ni refused to be a prisoner of my own first success . i discarded temptation to renew that success by choosing a great subject . i turned my back on what everyone waited for and i took my pleasure as my only rule of conduct .\nin addition to hosting the american premiere of what may be the best new film of 2018 from anywhere , this year\u2019s open roads at the film society of lincoln center pays tribute to four key figures of the past . roberto de paolis\u2019s film pure hearts ( about which , more below ) is , at the very least , a sign of hope that the italian cinema that gave rise to the beloved the taviani brothers ( paolo and the recently deceased vittorio ) , maverick director marco ferreri , and the elegant but largely underappreciated actress valentina cortese\u2014not to mention the formidable masters who preceded them\u2014still lives .\nthe film ' s script changed constantly during shooting . truffaut said that\nin shoot the piano player i wanted to break with the linear narrative and make a film where all the scenes would please me . i shot without any criteria .\ntruffaut ' s stylized and self - reflexive melodrama employs the hallmarks of french new wave cinema : extended voice - overs , out - of - sequence shots , and sudden jump cuts . the film ' s cinematography by raoul coutard was often grainy and kinetic , reflecting the emotional state of the characters , such as the scene in which charlie hesitates before ringing a doorbell .\nif you have been following the twists and turns of the film\u2019s rapid mood swings up to this point , you\u2019ll have no trouble following things straight through to the film\u2019s extraordinary finale\u2014a shootout at a mountain cabin right out of high sierra . but that humphrey bogart classic did not feature gunmen who behaved like the keystone kops . and it did not sport a visual delicacy suggestive of the finest work of d . w . griffith .\nthis is my number one film for the june by ingmar bergman . the film\u2019s theme mainly revolves around characters\u2019 common reaction against \u201cgod\u2019s silence\u201d . it contemplates of the existence of god , and a priest\u2019s lack of faith in god , and his inner conflicts about it . the movie is based on really strong dialogues and it is mainly criticized for its lack of action . however i do believe that this movie is a must see .\nthis movie is about a twisted relationship of a couple that involve in bdsm . most people are very cruel towards this movie . comments i read online consisted of the film\u2019s weakness to propose a proper theme , and dialogues . i do not agree with comments because the beauty of this movie was its pure imagery by telling its message with minimal dialogues . by seemingly reversing the master and slave relationship the film perfectly explores the human relationships . although the main concern of the film is the unwilling approach of one of the couples towards bdsm , it can be applied to every kind of relationship . love is being willingly abused and to abuse each other .\ntruffaut had wanted to make it as a big budget studio film , but was unable to get sufficient funds and the film was made on the streets instead . truffaut filled the film with homages to such american b movie directors like nicholas ray and sam fuller . ( both of the directors have always been a personal favorite of his and jean - luc godard ) during the shooting truffaut realized that he didn ' t like gangsters and tried to make their character more and more comical . pierre braunberger initially didn ' t like boby lapointe ' s songs and said that he couldn ' t understand what lapointe was saying which than inspired truffaut to add subtitles with a bouncing ball .\njonathan dawson recently retired as associate professor in film , media and cultural studies at griffith university ( queensland ) and is now honorary research associate at the university of tasmania . he has written and directed scores of films , television series and documentaries . he is also a major contributor to ian aitken\u2019s the encyclopaedia of documentary film , including the essay on australian documentary cinema . sadly , in the intervening years since writing this piece , the author has passed away .\nand finally the 400 blows which not only is one of the greatest films in the world but the one that revolutionized the french new wave . truffaut was always known as a very compassionate man , who had such a passion and love for films that while even directing found time to write about other films and directors , which his personal favorite was alfred hitchcock , where he wrote a classic book - length , film - by - film interview with the man and the two actually became very good friends . starting out as a critic truffaut decided to want to make films of his own after seeing orson welles noir classic touch of evil at the expo 58 which then inspired him to make his feature film d\u00e9but in 1959 with the 400 blows .\nsome of the most prominent pioneers among the group , including fran\u00e7ois truffaut , jean - luc godard , \u00e9ric rohmer , claude chabrol , and jacques rivette , began as critics for the famous film magazine cahiers du cin\u00e9ma . cahiers co - founder and theorist andr\u00e9 bazin was a prominent source of influence for the movement . by means of criticism and editorialization , they laid the groundwork for a set of concepts , revolutionary at the time , which the american film critic andrew sarris called the ' auteur theory . '\nfilming took place from november 30 , 1959 until january 22 , 1960 with some re - shoots for two weeks in march . locations included a caf\u00e9 called a la bonne franquette on the rue mussard in levallois , le sappey - en - chartreuse , around grenoble and throughout paris . the film ' budget was 890 , 062 . 95 francs , whereas the 400 blows had been a tense shoot for truffaut , his second film was a happy experience for the cast and crew after truffaut ' s first success .\nthe ' auteur theory ' holds that the director is the\nauthor\nof his movies , with a personal signature visible from film to film . they praised movies by jean renoir and jean vigo , and made then - radical cases for the artistic distinction and greatness of hollywood studio directors such as orson welles , john ford , howard hawks , alfred hitchcock and nicholas ray . the beginning of the new wave was to some extent an exercise by the cahiers writers in applying this philosophy to the world by directing movies themselves .\nit started off as a funny , very meta parody of thrillers . i liked it . but as it went along , the film - within - a - film stuff sort of disappeared , and just became a thriller . that would have been fine , except that it wasn ' t a particularly good thriller . everything was over - complex and contrived , and the protagonist wasn ' t worth rooting for - - all of which was fine when it was being played for laughs . but it felt pointless when it became serious .\ntaking us to the heart of existential anguish , shoot the piano player is never grim . it may show us the dark underside of city life , but it is somehow quite unsordid . daring to make us laugh at people in decidedly unfunny circumstances , the film manages to catch that laughter in mid - air and overlay it with a sense of sadness\u2014without killing the joke . the story may be simple , then characters easy to comprehend , but an atmosphere of mystery\u2014about people , their lives , their sense of self\u2014remains , making shoot the piano player a film of enduring fascination .\nalbert remy had appeared in the 400 blows and truffaut wanted to show the actor ' s comedic side after his uncomic performance in the previous film . truffaut also cast actor and novelist daniel boulanger and theatrical actor claude mansard as the two gangsters in the film . serge davri was a music hall performer who had for years recited poems while breaking dishes over his head . truffaut considered him crazy , but funny , and cast him as plyne . truffaut rounded out the cast with catherine lutz in the role of mammy and lutz had never acted before and worked at a local movie theater .\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\nmany of the french new wave films were produced on tight budgets ; often shot in a friend ' s apartment or yard , using the director ' s friends as the cast and crew . directors were also forced to improvise with equipment ( for example , using a shopping cart for tracking shots ) . the cost of film was also a major concern ; thus , efforts to save film turned into stylistic innovations . for example , in jean - luc godard ' s breathless , after being told the film was too long and he must cut it down to one hour and a half he decided ( on the suggestion of jean - pierre melville ) to remove several scenes from the feature using jump cuts , as they were filmed in one long take . parts that did not work were simply cut from the middle of the take , a practical decision and also a purposeful stylistic one .\nalexandre astruc ' s manifesto ,\nthe birth of a new avant - garde : the camera - stylo\n, published in l ` ecran , on 30 march 1948 outlined some of the ideas that were later expanded upon by fran\u00e7ois truffaut and the cahiers du cin\u00e9ma . it argues that\ncinema was in the process of becoming a new mean of expression on the same level as painting and the novel : a form in which an artist can express his thoughts , however abstract they may be , or translate his obsessions exactly as he does in the contemporary essay or novel . this is why i would like to call this new age of cinema the age of the ' camera - stylo .\nthe ship of lost men , directed by the great maurice tourneur , is a great film , listed by alfred hitchcock as one of his top ten . dietrich is very effective in it , apart from some unfortunate costume choices . dietrich also acted for henrik galeen , arthur robison and alexander korda .\nfran\u00e7ois truffaut has made some of the greatest films of all time . he did a film which was a love letter about the inner workings of the movie industry titled , day for night which ironically stars truffaut as a film director . the last metro tells a story about an actress married to a jewish theater owner who she must keep hidden from the nazis while doing both of their jobs . a personal favorite of mine is jules and jim which tells the tragic romance between two best friends who have been in love with the same woman over the years and the effect she has on both their lives .\nraymond durgnat is fascinating , as you\u2019d expect . lots of top choices for erotic film , including but not limited to bride of frankenstein , 42nd street , pickpocket , king kong , haxan and artists and models . polymorphous perversity ! but i have to admit , shirley maclaine looks cute as bat lady .\nat the opening of the startling and funny seven psychopaths the camera pans across the hills above los angeles , taking in the iconic sign that has loomed over the city since 1923 , first as hollywoodland and more recently simply hollywood . very soon we realise that this film is not merely set in la , it ' s about hollywood as a place , an industry , a creator and shaper of dreams and narratives , a distorter and destroyer of lives . to complete a circle the film ends with a comic variation on the final lines of john ford ' s the searchers about returning home after the completion of a journey .\ntruffaut significantly changes charlie ' s personality in the film because originally , goodis ' edward webster lynn ( who truffaut adapts as charlie ) is pictured as a relatively strong , self - confident guy who has chosen his solitude whereas truffaut\u2019s charlie kohler has found his isolation inevitably ; he was always shy , withdrawn , reclusive .\ntruffaut first read david goodis ' s novel in the mid - 1950s while shooting les mistons when his wife madeleine morgenstern read it and recommended it to him . he immediately loved the book ' s dialogue and poetic tone and showed it to producer pierre braunberger , who bought the rights . truffaut later met goodis in new york city , where the novelist gave truffaut a vintage viewfinder from his brief experience as a 2nd unit director on a u . s . film . truffaut said he made the film in reaction to the success of the 400 blows , which he considered to be very french and he wanted to show his influence from american films .\none thing\u2019s for sure\u2014it seems far less bewildering half a century later , at least to french viewers . \u201cis the film more comic than tragic ? \u201d a journalist asked truffaut , following the film\u2019s disappointing to disastrous reception by the critics and the public ( not to mention the censors ) . \u201cit\u2019s both , \u201d he answered . \u201cwith piano player , i wanted to make women cry and men laugh . \u201d a flippant answer to a typically single - minded journalist\u2019s question , but the sureness of the response is matched by the sureness of the execution of the film itself . there is nothing tentative or unachieved in what is , after all , the sophomore effort of a young director . \u201chow sure is truffaut\u2019s command of cinematic language ! \u201d joseph mcbride once wrote of fahrenheit 451 ; and the same could be said of the director\u2019s abilities with actors , narrative , and the balance of endlessly shifting moods\u2014in this case , antic comedy , ruminative reserve , romantic longing , and tenebrous regret .\nin which gleeson and colin farrell play irish hitmen waiting for their psychopathic british boss to dictate their next assignment . now mcdonagh has moved to the states , where his hero , colin farrell , is marty , an incipient alcoholic irish playwright working on a hollywood film , and the number of psychopaths involved has exponentially advanced to seven .\ncahiers du cin\u00e9ma writers critiqued the classic\ntradition of quality\nstyle of french cinema . bazin and henri langlois , founder and curator of the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise , were the dual godfather figures of the movement . these men of cinema valued the expression of the director ' s personal vision in both the film ' s style and script .\namong the films referenced in shoot the piano player are hollywood b movies from the 1940s , the techniques of using an iris from silent films , charlie being named after charlie chaplin and having four brothers ( and one named chico ) being a reference to the marx brothers , and the film ' s structure and flashbacks being similar to the structure of citizen kane .\nthe french new wave featured unprecedented methods of expression , such as long tracking shots ( like the famous traffic jam sequence in godard ' s 1967 film week end ) . also , these movies featured existential themes , such as stressing the individual and the acceptance of the absurdity of human existence . filled with irony and sarcasm , the films also tend to reference other films .\nthe french new wave was popular roughly between 1958 and 1964 , although new wave work existed as late as 1973 . the socio - economic forces at play shortly after world war ii strongly influenced the movement . politically and financially drained , france tended to fall back on the old popular pre - war traditions . one such tradition was straight narrative cinema , specifically classical french film .\nfrom now on the two parallel worlds of the film itself , its characters and authors , and a different or parallel narrative space interweave and collide as the filmmakers constantly change their minds , rewrite on the run , and generally put trintignant / elias through a surreal hall of narrative mirrors as the plot is chopped and changed . prostitutes , phony cops , characters and tiny details , all change as the \u201ccreative\u201d process runs wild .\nthe movement has its roots in rebellion against the reliance on past forms ( often adapted from traditional novelistic structures ) , criticizing in particular the way these forms could force the audience to submit to a dictatorial plot - line . they were especially against the french\ncinema of quality\n, the type of high - minded , literary period films held in esteem at french film festivals , often regarded as ' untouchable ' by criticism .\nshoot the piano player was originally a novel titled down there by david goodis . the film shares the novel ' s bleak plot about a man hiding from his shattered life by doing the only thing he knows how to do , while remaining unable to escape the past . however , truffaut ' s work resolves itself into both a tribute to the american genre of literary and cinematic noir and a meditation on the relationship between art and commercialism .\nthe new novel as a form attracted writers from samuel beckett to nathalie sarraute and marguerite duras and some , like duras , also went on to make movies . maybe a sense that the tired classical realist novel needed a shot in the arm is what drove these writers to formal experimentation in the first place , but few failed to recognise that the feature film was an even more ideal medium to play around with \u2013 and its audience was larger and more forgiving .\ntruffaut began writing the script with marcel moussy , who had co - written the 400 blows . moussey said that he didn ' t understand the book and attempted to establish clear social roots for the characters . truffaut disagreed , wanting to keep the film loose and abstract ; moussey left after a few weeks and truffaut wrote the script himself . one problem truffaut had was that he considered the goodis novel to be too chaste and he decided to make the characters less heroic .\nthe transforming power of french artistic thought , which for so long had seemed the cultural centre of the universe and certainly of the avant - garde , meant that both the nouveau roman ( new novel ) and the nouvelle vague ( french new wave film ) seemed to arrive within an instant of each other . in fact the nouveau roman first emerged in the 1950s and amongst its key practitioners was a novelist who only later became a screenwriter and director : alain robbe - grillet .\nin bernhardt ' s film , adapted from a novel by max brod , uno henning , the impossibly handsome and tender leading man of asquith ' s a cottage on dartmoor , plays a young man marrying the boss ' s daughter . oddly , the movie spends a considerable amount of time and effort to establish the family business and henning ' s crusty father - in - law : time spent solely , it seems , to make the prospect of his return to this life seem unappealing .\nthe book ' s main character charlie is also much stronger in the book and truffaut called it a sterling hayden type and truffaut decided to go the opposite direction and make the protagonist weaker and the female characters strong . truffaut was also influenced by french writer jacques audiberti while writing the film , such as in his treatment of the character plyne . truffaut also used some scenes from other goodis novels , such as the early scene where chico bumps into a lamp - post and has a conversation with a stranger .\nnow the film changes tracks from being a locomotive movie ( always an exciting thing ) to being a hotel movie ( even better ! ) . it ' s new year . kortner and dietrich are registered as dr . and mrs . karoff . henning announces himself and starts trying to muscle in on dietrich . he ' s in the throes of a grand passion , but doesn ' t realise that the story he ' s gatecrashed only wants him as a helpless witness to the last act of a tragedy .\ni love the \u201c ( or actor ) \u201d and \u201c ( or actress ) \u201d which are positioned with a hilarious assumption that most of the respondents will be straight men . in film criticism , has this ever been true ? at any rate , they at least allow for exceptions , but they want to make it very clear , via parenthesis , that they are exceptions . at any rate , the only women quoted are france roche ( respected screenwriter , still with us at 91 ) and critic grace winter .\nso why did dietrich trash her earlier work ? the history seems to show an actress on the rise , catching plum roles in major films with major directors , with the blue angel as a logical next step in her irresistible rise . portraying that film as a last - moment rescue from oblivion is consistent with dietrich ' s odd tendency to ascribe everything good in her work to sternberg , her svengali , a tendency we can plainly see but cannot so easily explain . and maybe that version of events just made a better story .\nit is a film directed and written by paul thomas anderson . larry \u2013doc - sportello ( joaquin phoenix ) who is a private detective explores the disappearance of his girlfriend however shasta fay hepworth ( katherine waterston ) he finds himself in such a strange environment that is led by drugs and \u201chippie\u201d lifestyle . it was such a strange movie that i had to rewind it so many times to make sure i am not misunderstanding it . however , my conclusion is that movie\u2019s purpose was to give an uncanny and ambiguous atmosphere to the audience .\ni would like to see someone produce a spoiler on this garbage ( and , incidentally , probably all that robbe - grillet filmed - i just picked this one as a representative of all ) . this is bs - artistry pure . unfortunately there is money in art and in film , if you can get away with it . you need some beautiful women to take there cloths off , of course , and a good cinematographer helps a lot as well . the pictures are well lit and what you see of the women isn ' t bad - but that ' s it . no original thought here , in fact no thought whatsoever . that ' s why bs - artists are bs - artists - they basically have nothing to say about anything . there heads are a black hole from which nothing of value can escape . robbe - grillet and others of his ilk give film a bad name . trintignant could be good - he proved that in other films . here , however , he was taken in by a con - man , which is the essence of a bs - artist .\nnew wave critics and directors studied the work of western classics and applied new avant garde stylistic direction . the low - budget approach helped filmmakers get at the essential art form and find what was , to them , a much more comfortable and contemporary form of production . charlie chaplin , alfred hitchcock , orson welles , howard hawks , john ford , and many other forward - thinking film directors were held up in admiration while standard hollywood films bound by traditional narrative flow were strongly criticized . french new wave were also influenced by italian neorealism and classical hollywood cinema .\ntruffaut later stated that\nin spite of the burlesque idea to certain scenes , it ' s never a parody ( because i detest parody , except when it begin to rival the beauty of what it is parodying ) . for me its something very precise that i would call a respectful pastiche of the hollywood b films from which i learned so much .\nthis was also truffaut ' s first film to include a murder , which would often become a plot point in many of his films and was influenced by truffaut ' s admiration of director alfred hitchcock .\nalthough never a formally organized movement , the new wave filmmakers were linked by their self - conscious rejection of the literary period pieces being made in france and written by novelists , their spirit of youthful iconoclasm , the desire to shoot more current social issues on location , and their intention of experimenting with the film form .\nnew wave\nis an example of european art cinema . many also engaged in their work with the social and political upheavals of the era , making their radical experiments with editing , visual style and narrative part of a general break with the conservative paradigm .\nwe take it for granted \u2014or should , at least\u2014that access to the motion picture apparatus at the highest levels of authority indicates a certain advantage of birthright . if feature fiction filmmakers\u2019 publicity doesn\u2019t make a point of mentioning that they didn\u2019t grow up more than comfortable , it\u2019s a pretty safe bet that they did . hollywood nepotism and garden - variety privilege march through top - ranked film schools every year , and then there\u2019s the case of count don luchino visconti count di modrone . there aren\u2019t many defectors from the ruling class coming from this high in the ranks ; as such , their\nwhile henning and kortner throw themselves about , fizzing with controlled intensity , dietrich hardly ever seems to move at all : she ' s just there , while the men orbit around her . henning is a near - forgotten hero of silent film , impossibly beautiful , and possessed of a poetic , tortured essence . kortner seems to have as many different modes as he made movies , bouncing from expressionist contortion to sly drollery , naturalism or pantomime villainy . here he seems quite\nreal\nand modern , despite the suit and the monocle . he ' s more weak than menacing , more angst - ridden than evil .\n7 ) at one point , roman polanski wanted to adapt the porno comics of milo manara as an animated feature . this strikes me as the worst combination possible , but manara\u2019s comics might be a suitable source . the lousy jean - louis richard film of click is quite good , even though it\u2019s totally lousy , if you know what i mean . unfortunately , manara is a deeply sexist idiot , and there\u2019s a nastiness to his work i\u2019d prefer to avoid \u2014 plus his real talent is his drawing , so why adapt him to another medium ? his adaptation of unfilmed fellini scenarios was a better way for him to engage with cinema .\nif there is a single , overriding theme in tony zierra\u2019s filmworker ( 2017 ) , it is that the life of leon vitali , the subject of this documentary , has been more or less divided between the twenty - odd years before he met stanley kubrick and the nearly fifty years since . every talking head in the film , including vitali\u2019s , testifies to this fact , so much so that it makes us question the reality of every aspect of the man\u2019s life that is not related to kubrick . late in the doc , for example , we hear vitali\u2019s children voicing not very happy memories about their father\u2019s psychological ( when not physical )\n\u201cyes , she poisoned a whole town , but . . . , \u201d a friend texts me after watching the recently released netflix documentary series wild wild country ( 2018 ) , and it is a popular response to ma anand sheela , the true heroine of the show . the six - episode film presents an extraordinary amount of footage from the four years of rajneeshpuram , a sixty - three - thousand - acre ranch in wasco county , oregon , established in 1981 . the five thousand people who lived at rajneeshpuram wanted to be with their bhagwan ( the hindi word for \u201cgod\u201d ) , rajneesh , who is better known by the name osho . the rajneeshees flipped\nclassic french cinema adhered to the principles of strong narrative , creating what godard described as an oppressive and deterministic aesthetic of plot . in contrast , new wave filmmakers made no attempts to suspend the viewer ' s disbelief ; in fact , they took steps to constantly remind the viewer that a film is just a sequence of moving images , no matter how clever the use of light and shadow . the result is a set of oddly disjointed scenes without attempt at unity ; or an actor whose character changes from one scene to the next ; or sets in which onlookers accidentally make their way onto camera along with extras , who in fact were hired to do just the same .\nwhen francois truffaut\u2019s first feature t he 400 blows made its debut in 1959 , critics the world over hailed its low - key semidocumentary style in telling its tale of a troubled , melancholy youth . you can imagine then the confusion these same critics felt the next year when confronted with the french filmmaker\u2019s next work , shoot the piano player . a wild mixture of gangster thriller , slapstick comedy , and bittersweet romance , shoot the piano player was one of the signal works of the french \u201cnew wave , \u201d but it took a while for some critics and audiences to get used to a film that flew in the face of traditional dramatic expectations so broadly and mixed genre elements so freely .\nfarrell ' s marty has a problem . he has a title for a film he must write \u2013 seven psychopaths \u2013 but no plot to go with it . this is not uncommon in hollywood : rebel without a cause and sex and the single girl were based on books acquired for their catchy titles for which gifted writers ( in the case of sex and the single girl joseph heller , author of catch - 22 ) were engaged to confect screenplays . so he must meet some genuine psychopaths , ie people who behave aggressively and commit violent acts with no sense of guilt or remorse , a description that might fit a large proportion of people in southern california at large and the movie business in particular .\nthe staff , obliging and suave , loan henning evening dress so he can attend the celebrations . as the countdown to midnight looms , dietrich agrees to run away with him at the party ' s height . meanwhile , we learn the secret part of the story , or some of it ( we never learn much ) : karoff has killed dietrich ' s real husband , and she ' s gone along with him . now she wants to put some distance between herself and the homicide . henning , naive and trusting , seems a better bet than the desperate karoff . despite these revelations , both dietrich and kortner maintain sympathy . both are simply doing what they must . kortner ' s karoff is clearly a doomed man , hopelessly obsessed with dietrich , who ' s living up to the film ' s title .\nthis sense of action seen from a slightly off - kilter angle continues in the next scene as we learn of the identity of the running figure\u2014he\u2019s the brother to the film\u2019s hero charlie kohler ( charles aznavour ) . now we\u2019re in the bar where this small , timid man plies his trade\u2014a rowdy place filled with characters out of a mack sennett slapstick two - reeler ( chapters 2 and 3 ) . the mood changes again to romance when charlie discovers lena ( marie dubois ) , the brassy barmaid who loved him from afar ( chapter 4 ) . it goes back again to comedy when the gunmen pursuing charlie\u2019s brother put the squeeze on charlie and lena ( chapter 6 ) . then the mystery melodrama takes over ( chapters 7 and 8 ) when a flashback reveals the truth about charlie and the circumstances that brought him to his withdrawn state .\ntruffaut said that it was a single image from goodis\u2019s novel\u2014the car silently approaching the house in the snow , where saroyan\u2019s crazy brothers are holed up\u2014that sparked him to make the film , and truffaut and cinematographer raoul coutard do indeed give the image a very special kind of quaintly miniaturized beauty . but i have a feeling that it was the image of aznavour himself in the lead , complemented by the heartbreakingly beautiful claudine huz\u00e9 ( truffaut gave her the stage name marie dubois ) as the devoted and doomed l\u00e9na , that turned all the lights green for him . in aznavour , he saw a countenance that recalled saint francis . but it\u2019s a sure bet that he also saw what his friends recognized right away\u2014a face and a charmingly reserved manner that recalled his own . somehow , the mixture of shyness and confidence in the figure of the forlorn piano player provides us with a perfect mirror for truffaut himself , whose films are so rich , vibrant , and eminently enjoyable that one is continually caught off guard by the realization of their complexity , their bravery , and their emotional depths .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n( 1974 ) , starring anic\u00e9e alvina , olga georges -

and in the following scene by the camera assuming tansy\u2019s physical space looking out subjectively at norman and a male friend observing her . in this latter sequence tansy\u2019s semi - comatose state is suggested by the camera\u2019s smeared edges , an effect reminiscent again of vampyr \u2018s gauze - effect .\nsince its inception in 1997 . totaro received his phd in film & television from the university of warwick ( uk ) , is a part - time professor in film studies at concordia university ( montreal , canada ) and a longstanding member of\nfollowing this scene , and faster than you can say ouiji board , norman\u2019s comfortable world begins to crumble . the spiral of bad luck begins when a female student accuses him of rape and her jealous boyfriend accosts him in a series of increasingly violent confrontations . while his life turns into a living nightmare , tansy decides that her only recourse to saving her husband is a sacrificial suicide . up until this moment the only possible reason the film offers as cause of norman\u2019s bad luck is a trip mentioned to jamaica , where they encountered a witchdoctor who resurrected a dead girl ( in contrast to tansy , the skeptic norman holds out for a natural explanation for the girl\u2019s resurrection . ) . the plot finally reveals that tansy was in fact saving norman from another witch , his gimpy - legged female colleague flora , played to evil perfection by margaret johnston ( the film\u2019s best female performance ) . with this narrative knowledge , we now understand in hindsight the wary glances shared by tansy and flora during the dinner scene , as well as the scene\u2019s coy dialogue ( \u201cjinx\u201d \u201cdark horse\u201d , etc . ) , and can read the scene as two witches staking each other out .\nwhile there ' s much to admire , the film also falls victim to the pitfalls that plague many found footage movies .\nactually , almost everyone has a singular name \u2013 guy some , tansy bestigui \u2013 but this is a convention of detective fiction . there are at least half a dozen potential suspects , and we can\u2019t afford to get them mixed up .\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 .\nhepworth picture plays production ;

the muddled message which remains , by accident or design , is perhaps the best way to summarise this fantastic film .\n, in which a group of antiheroes band together over the course of one film to do good things despite being bad people over a soundtrack of hits . unlike james gunn\u2019s crowdpleaser , ayer\u2019s film feels more like a first assembly reel than a finished product , and a first assembly that requires extensive edits and reshoots at that .\nif you can look past the poor acting this low budget film has some interesting ideas but as you can see by the poster this is pulling on the more famous film london is falling . the plot is a mix of taken / firestarter / random zombie plot and you get an idea of what your in store for .\ncecil hepworth was a major british filmmaker of the early days . only a few of his feature films have survived . tansy is a straightforward story of a country lass ( alma taylor ) who is taken in at a sheep farm where she becomes the romantic target of two brothers . neither brother seems to realize the other ' s attraction for tansy . nor do they realize the secret she has . set against the beautiful sussex downs , hepworth ' s simple style may seem flat even to seasoned silent film buffs , but his art is in telling a story and not in fancy camera angles and editing techniques . indeed , his camera never moves . each scene is set up and the actors go through their paces . next set up . but hepworth captures an england of long ago , ancient farming techniques , and simple lifestyles that even in 1921 must have seemed quaint . in some ways , hepworth was a british version of d . w . griffith , but he seems to have lacked griffith ' s energy and innovation . alma taylor , a major star of her day , is quite good as tansy and was hepworth ' s most frequent leading lady . gerald ames is good as clem . hugh clifton and james carew are the feuding brothers . and rolph leslie is tansy ' s pathetic grandfather . worth looking for to see cecil hepworth ' s work , the beautiful countryside , and alma taylor .\ntom burke plays cormoran strike , the private detective , in strike : the cuckoo\u2019s calling . photograph : colin hutton / bbc / bronte film & tv / colin hutton\nboomerang may be a historically white character in the comics , but so is deadshot . in my experience , the film is greatly improved by imagining miranda tapsell in the role .\nprovided to youtube by sony music entertainment tansy ( from the film\nno , my darling daughter\n) \u00b7 al hirt honey in the horn and our man in new orleans \u2117 originally released 1962 . all rights reserved by rca records , a division of sony music entertainment released on : 1999 - 01 - 05 producer : steve sholes producer : chet atkins / \u537b\u7279\u4e9e\u91d1\u65af recording engineer : bill porter composer , lyricist : norrie paramor mastering engineer : jim malloy associated performer : chorus associated performer : orchestra auto - generated by youtube .\ntristin hall is currently a junior at columbia college majoring in musical theatre and minoring in stage combat . credits include : the nerd ( tansy ) , crimes of the heart ( meg ) at matchbook theatre , carrie and francine ( carrie ) at haven theatre . at columbia : bridal dance ( deb ) , love and information ( ensemble ) .\ndespite being sold as a team of wacky crooks going on laugh - a - minute hijinks , the film takes itself very seriously ; it\u2019s quite a while into the film before there is even an attempt at a laugh , and many of the jokes fall flat . this feeling is compounded by the fact that there are gags in the trailers that aren\u2019t in the movie , which would have gone unnoticed if the comedy that made the cut wasn\u2019t so thin on the ground . part of the problem is the pacing of ayer\u2019s own screenplay\u2014after a slow start , the film struggles to find its feet and even when it\u2019s racing through action sequences , it still seems to drag . this affects the entire narrative , not just the jokes , and contributes further to the feeling that the film is a rough first draft ; the first third of the film constantly rehashes itself , introducing characters many times in different contexts without adding anything new .\nin the film\u2019s opening classroom scene norman writes the words \u201ci do not believe\u201d on the board as an antidote to any form of non - rational thinking . being a devout man of science and reason , norman does not take kindly to his wife\u2019s dabbling in the black arts . since norman sees himself as self - made man , the implication that tansy\u2019s black magic has secured his success is a major service blow to his ego . as we would suspect from such a character , norman does not heed her cautionary explanation and forces her to burn all her paraphernalia .\nan hour and half of life gone forever . crap acting . . . sums the whole film up . felt like an attempt to rip off\nstranger things\nwith\njurassic park\n.\nif you ' re relatively easily scared or are in a theater full of people who are , the film might be good for a few screams . but only if you ' re the patient sort .\nstruggling to decide on just how much to shit on this film , i relented and doubled my rating , in an attempt to be nice . just because people can gather the resources to make a film doesn ' t mean that they should be allowed to . this is dire . a few decent minor touches help to stop it from becoming completely unbearable , but it ' s a bloody close call .\nin many ways directors tansy michaud and adam carboni\u2019s cinematic presence is similar to hi - way drive - in\u2019s owner roger babcock\u2019s presence . they each have a seemingly meditative approach and presence where the viewer can sense the amount of intuitive focus they have for their craft . in some ways this can be attributed to the great respect they seem to have for one another resulting from the trusting relationship developed over the course of the film\u2019s development . the directors tell us \u201cthere was a series of weekends where we wanted to bond with roger and sharon , not interview or press them . after that , our new - found friendship allowed us truer emotion and openness in the interviews and footage that followed . \u201d that intimacy and respect developed during the making of this film certainly translated to the final product .\ni was entertained by the story for the most part but about halfway through the whole tone of the film changes . it starts out with more drama / action and then turns into a over the top zombie / action film . overall it ' s okay for what it is and its free on amazon prime so if you have a membership all it will cost you is time . 2 / 5 stars .\nwhat sets this film appart from other found footage movies is the fact that it tries to be a documentary at times , adding more credibility to what we see on screen . [ full review in spanish ]\nmy curiosity about a film entitled burn , witch , burn has been peaked ever since purchasing an original one - sheet of the film in the mid - 1970\u2019s . with the film still unavailable on video , i had written off the likelihood of every seeing the film . however , thanks to mitch davis , regular fantasia festival programmer and recent addition to the cinema du parc programming team , my wait ended on october 8th . and i was not at all disappointed . in fact , davis is not far off when he refers to it in the program notes as a \u201cmasterpiece . \u201d burn witch burn ( original british title being night of the eagle ) is an extremely interesting entry in the supernatural horror sub - genre with strong characterisation , effective black & white cinematography ( reg wyer ) and set - pieces that rank with the best of hammer and universal .\nbut during my discussion with kelly one thing he said stuck with me . while i praised mad max : fury road for not presenting women as victims , he said the film did exactly that . according to kelly while the abuse was off - screen it still triggered everything that came after , meaning the women in fury road were still victims . so the film is merely a retread of how hollywood always deals with these issues .\nthe murky aesthetic that dc seems to have settled on as their house style is in full effect here , a step away from the film\u2019s bright marketing campaign . those who are tired of the \u2018destruction in darkness\u2019 playbook of\nthe frothy experiences of a vain little flapper . her father induces an actor friend to become a gentlemanly cave man and the film becomes another variation of the ' taming of the shrew ' . . . see full summary \u00bb\nin a book adaptation of the film , instead of trying to eat the gump first , the nome king eats mombi and her cage , and dorothy ' s wish to restore the emerald city brings her back to life .\nreturn to oz is a 1985 fantasy adventure film by walt disney pictures . it was produced by paul maslansky , directed by walter murch from a screenplay by murch and gill dennis . star wars veteran gary kurtz was executive producer .\nand believe it is a new action film classic , with director george miller wrapping a smart mix of plot , world - building and character development into an edge - of - your - seat thrill ride . equally as important ,\nthe film\u2019s final scenes are full of clever and ironic touches . for the most part director hayers maintains a subtle approach to the depiction of horror . the single exception being the stone eagle atop the school fa\u00e7ade that , through flora\u2019s witchery , animates itself and sweeps down toward an unsuspecting norman . though hayers includes far too many ominous cutaways to the stone eagle throughout the film , the scenes with the eagle still remain effective . hayers reverts to a restraint approach by keeping the eagle mostly offscreen . in one particularly ironic moment norman is backed up against his classroom chalkboard by the eagle , his jacket erasing the word \u201cnot\u201d from the board phrase \u201ci do not believe . \u201d even the scene of norman chased by the oversized eagle through the school corridors , achieved through cutting and miniatures , holds up well . as a note , according to the film\u2019s production history the stone eagle , like the demon in night of the demon , was not in the original script and only added to bolster commercial potential . the film does resolve itself in an all too pat manner . flora , who has been using a tape recorded incantation , voodoo dolls , and the power of suggestion to sabotage norman\u2019s career / life , is fittingly crushed to death by the stone eagle she reanimated to try and kill norman . meanwhile tansy is resurrected to resume her marriage with norman .\ntaylor is a success story , with a successful career , a beautiful and charming wife ( janet blair ) and two homes , although it\u2019s wife tansy , in the main , who seems to use their seaside cottage . he\u2019s also in the frame for promotion within the university , despite a few problems rumbling along in his life \u2013 a female student who seems to be skating dangerously close to an inappropriate interest in him , her envious ( and academically weak ) boyfriend and perhaps most insidiously of all , other women in his life \u2013 colleagues and the wives of colleagues \u2013 who are bastions of passive - aggressive carping and bitter jealousy regarding him , though with characteristic 60s swagger , taylor brushes this off , perhaps too readily . tansy is less convinced , regarding one of the wives in particular as a \u2018middle - aged medusa\u2019 , but it seems that she has her secrets , too .\none of the few big - budget action movies in which none of the women in the movie are treated as victims . in the long run i believe this will make the film an influential one in changing how hollywood does business .\nthe film bears some slight similarities to prince caspian : beyond taking place in a magical world with talking animals and unique ways to get there , the main villain is a king ( whereas the main villain of the first film is a witch ) who conquers the land while the main character ( s ) is gone , and unsure as to whether they will return . also , princess ozma and prince caspian are both the rightful rulers who must be restored to the throne .\nafter a dreary friday night playing bridge with a selection of oblivious males and watchful females , tansy begins to act strangely . after their guests leave , tansy becomes frantic , looking for something which she claims is a shopping list . eventually , she finds what she\u2019s looking for : an effigy , like a voodoo doll , woven into the fringes of a standard lamp . taylor , a little baffled by her panic , continues to get ready for bed , but at around the same time he finds something very strange in one of the bedroom drawers \u2013 a dead spider in a ceramic pot . she demurs , saying it\u2019s just a souvenir from their time living in jamaica , but within a short space of time the taylors\u2019 quaint , domestic cottage is suddenly turning up a whole host of curios , charms and spells ; it\u2019s like looking again at a photograph and suddenly noticing a host of new details that you missed on the first glance . taylor , the thinker , is decidedly unimpressed . the final straw comes with his discovery of a range of phials of graveyard dirt : he insists that the whole lot gets consigned to the fire , despite tansy\u2019s by now desperate pleadings that dark forces are poised to destroy him without her protections . true enough , almost the moment that the flames consume the charms ( including , accidentally , a locket portrait of himself ) taylor\u2019s extraordinary luck begins to fail . blind chance , or something more ?\nseveral elements of the second oz book , the marvelous land of oz were worked into the film ' s plot . jack pumpkinhead , the gump , the powder of life , and the scarecrow being king are from land . mombi is also from it . she was reassigned to princess langwidere ' s roles , but retained some of her land ones as well . for instance , she keeps ozma captive . in the original book , she is tip ' s ( ozma transformed into a boy ) evil witch guardian . and she also owns powder of life which is later stolen by the protagonist . also in the film , the people in the emerald city are turned to stone . though the nome king does this in the film , it could be a reference to how old mombi planned to do so to tip .\nthe disney studio regime changed twice during the making of the film . by the time it was ready for audiences , michael eisner and jeffrey katzenberg were in charge of the company . kurtz later complained that their new regime abandoned the film , neglecting to promote it effectively , since it was not one of their projects .

swapping princess , tik - tok , the nome king , the ornament room , and ozma are all culled from the book .\nif women are harmful sleeper agents , then consider also the impact of the taylors\u2019 tenure in jamaica , where \u2013 we are told \u2013 tansy first picked up her magical habit from fraternising with the locals . you don\u2019t have too look too far for anxiety about the effects of a more \u2018primitive\u2019 belief system on a more developed one , and that could easily form the basis of a completely different article , but i will say this : the impact of this jamaican magic is of note within night of the eagle because , as tansy says , \u201cit seemed to work\u201d . it\u2019s not simply harmful because it\u2019s other \u2013 it\u2019s simply harmful . as we have seen in svetlana\u2019s feature on american folk horror , haitian supernatural practices have become interwoven with american folk beliefs : this is another example of the terrific impact of racial and cultural others on a western cultural landscape . in the 1960s , ideas of horror seemed to have to adjust to this ever - changing landscape , poised to degrade at any time and sweep modernity away . even wives were weaponising ; even beliefs were vulnerable and permeable .\nanother key issue with the film is its startlingly reductive approach to its female characters . right off bat , the three female metahumans of the film\u2014harley , enchantress and katana\u2014all wear significantly less clothes than their male counterparts . 3 this is particularly notable in harley\u2019s case as , in a moment of fan service , she is shown holding her original costume ( a full body black and red leotard ) and instead opting for a ripped shirt and short shorts . the camera is almost as incessant in its objectification of her as the narrative is in only justifying these female characters\u2019 action through their male partners . harley is constantly framed as the literal property of the joker , the words emblazoned on the back of her jacket , while enchantress is rick flagg\u2019s only weakness and katana lives to avenge the death of her husband . the representation of harley is by far the most problematic ; a relative newcomer to dc lore , she is a character who has historically been defined by her abusive relationship with the joker . 4 the film\u2019s attitude to this relationship is as inconsistent as its overall narrative , initially depicting harley as a lovesick doctor , then torture victim , before settling firmly on a \u201cit\u2019s not abuse because she wants it\u201d line . both the film and its marketing have made use of \u201cyou don\u2019t own me\u201d as a sort of anthem for harley , but as the film goes on , it becomes depressingly clear that the reason she can\u2019t be owned is because she is already someone else\u2019s property .\nit feels like the writer had so many ideas he wanted to get in to this he just put them wherever he could , this means the film really doesn ' t make any sense and there are that many ideas that none are fully realised so they are ultimately wasted . the acting is dire but to be fair the cast are friends of the writer / director . i do think this is terrible but hopefully as tge first feature length , lessons will be learned and sam fountayne can hone hus skills in . for this film though i ' m afraid i have to say avoid at all cost\nmichaud and carboni\u2019s cinematic choices makes the film feel quite unique compared to other documentaries of its kind . while the cinematography is quite simple , it is very craftily executed and cleverly selected , paying great detail to the entire experience of going to the drive - in . most noteworthy are the various radios receiving roger\u2019s welcoming voice .\nhenry singer\u2019s film diana : seven days ( bbc1 , sunday ) looked back 20 years at the week preceding the funeral of princess diana . princes william and harry were among those speaking about their memories of that sad and strangely febrile interval , along with tony blair , alastair campbell and some key members of the royal household .\nanderson , primarily a model , has had small roles in films and shows such as your highness , black mirror and the riot club . she has an upcoming role opposite ed skrein and emily ratajkowski in in darkness . she also starred in a short film directed by steve mcqueen of shame and twelve years a slave fame .\nthe plot for return to oz is loosely based on l . frank baum ' s second and third novels of the fourteen books in the original oz series : the marvelous land of oz ( 1904 ) and ozma of oz ( 1907 ) , both written by baum to serve as sequels to the wonderful wizard of oz ( 1900 ) . the film was thought by many to be a musical sequel to the classic 1939 film , but has no musical numbers and bears little resemblence to judy garlands ' oz other than having the more popular ruby slippers appear in the story instead of the original silver shoes , which pop culture is less familiar with . the film was deliberately intended to approach the land of oz and all of its characters and inhabitants in a much more faithful , darker and surreal tone just as baum envisioned . the imagery , scenery and set / costume design stayed very close to the original book illustrations by john r . neill and w . w . denslow .\nprobably most recognisable as the evil freddie hamid in tom hiddleston drama the night manager , avery has also cropped up in tv projects including doctor who , 24 , borderline and the upcoming troy : fall of a city . in the word of film he\u2019s appeared in starred up , the inbetweeners movie and kill your friends among other roles .\nbut at the heart of many of the film\u2019s issues is the simple fact that it has misunderstood the suicide squad . what was once a collection of dc\u2019s biggest baddies banded together by the iron fist of amanda waller to do the dirty work that no one official can be tied to instead becomes a group of talented metahumans recruited to assist tactical forces in a \u201cterrorist situation\u201d . the film treats them as superheroes waiting to happen instead of villains who can be blamed for their actions without it being traced back to the government . as a result , the plot falls into stale \u201csave the world\u201d territory instead of the grey morality and covert operations that the squad were formed for\u2014the narrative mirrors\nduring its release in 1985 it was praised for it ' s special effects and was even nominated for an award . but overall it was still considered a controversial flop and big box office failure . return to oz was unfairly panned by 80 % of critics who gave it disastrous reviews , simply because it didn ' t resemble the 1939 film . many labeled it as\ntoo scary and intense and grim for children\n. after the picture was shown at radio city music hall , the majority of mainstream media sadly forgot about it ,\nputting it out of their heads\nas one journalist wrote in a review years later . the film was only appealing for those to whom the film spoke to , being mostly die - hard oz fans who had read all fourteen of baum ' s sequel oz books and admirers of the fantasy films of the 80 ' s such as labyrinth , legend and the dark crystal , all of which had jim henson ' s puppetry that was also used in return to oz\n.\nlike some movies , a few minor clips were cut from the film when it was shown on tv , presumably to save time . though most of these are minor ( such as shortening the scene where the nomes appear , and a bit of dialogue between dorothy and mombi in the castle ) two semi - critical points are cut out :\npeter wyngarde , better known to uk viewers as the modish television spy jason king , plays norman , a young , up and coming professor at a small , provincial college . norman seems to have it all . a loving , caring wife ( janet blair ) , great looks and body ( which he flaunts at every turn with skin tight shirts and pants ) , a sharp mind , popular with students , and the envy of colleagues . all this ( and more ) seems to be the reason behind his mercurial rise to ( imminent ) position of department chair . however , rather than the proverbial skeleton , norman has a witch in his closet , the witch being his wife tansy .\namy johnson is honored to be working on falling and thrilled to be making her debut with interrobang theatre . she received her mfa from the university of nebraska , lincoln . her most recent stage work was in twin set with the side project , where she is a proud associate member . acting credits with various chicago companies include : historical perspectives for children , the ex - pats , steep theatre , victory gardens , and others . she is looking forward to the upcoming independent film release of the year that changed us , in which she has a supporting role . film clips , history , and new projects can be seen at urltoken . thank you jim for the opportunity , and many thanks to my family for their patience and support .\nhis photography of the english countryside was part of his search for purely pictorial beauty :\nalways i have striven for beauty , for pictorial meaning and effect . . . much of my success , i am sure , is in the aesthetic pleasure conveyed , but not recognised , by the beauty of the scene and generally mistaken for some unknown other quality in the film .\nterry gavin ( warnock waldgrave ) \u2013 terry\u2019s credits include macbeth ( king duncan ) , doubt ( father flynn ) , angels in america : millennium approaches and perestroika ( roy cohn ) , who\u2019s afraid of virginia woolf ( nick ) , and death of a salesman ( biff ) . in addition , he has appeared in the film bill wilson and recently completed filming house arrest .\ndespite its unsuccessful theatrical run , this oz adaptation has grown a huge fanbase over the decades , has received immense praise for its dark beauty and overall faithfulness to baum ' s original source material , and has now become a true and official\ncult classic\nwith fans all across the world , from america to japan , even having its own website and countless internet blogs dedicated to the film .\nwhere it differs , perhaps , is in the way taylor has to come to accept that strange things are happening ; once he has done this , he can escape , although things cannot be the same again . a man of few words , we are never told how he feels , but we\u2019re in the same position as him , by the end . we don\u2019t know if the eagle falls by chance or intent . we don\u2019t know if tansy survives by chance or through magical protections . the world is a more uncertain place by the end of night of the eagle . in this respect , norman taylor is more of a rosemary woodhouse than a sergeant howie \u2013 he encounters a cult , and his rationalism gets modified by the encounter . the taylors survive . but at what cost ?\njohnson , who has acted under the surname gallacher , had a notable role as a flirtatious waitress in harry potter and the half - blood prince . she had a twelve episode run on eastenders in 2010 and appeared in top boy . her film credits include my brother the devil , powder room and how to talk to girls at parties . she has been cast in the highly anticipated sci - fi sequel blade runner 2049 .\nlike rosemary\u2019s baby would do six years later , burn , witch , burn effectively brings the supernatural into a contemporary modern setting . like romero\u2019s classic contemporary witchcraft tale jack\u2019s wife , the film presents a witch version of stepford wives , with the implication that the town\u2019s wives are all part of an underground coven unknown to all the husbands . one can even go further and offer an intriguing feminist reading , where all the pompous men are actually puppets in the hands of their scheming , more powerful wives . in either case , as a proto - feminist horror parable , or a subtle , intelligent occult horror film , burn , witch , burn is a gem that merits both a theatrical and video revival . thanks to the cinema du parc\u2019s decision to include retrospective films as part of their programming , i no longer stare at my one - sheet with curious wonderment .\ndisorganized and disabled from military service in afghanistan , private investigator cormoran strike is visited by an old friend , john bristow , who believes his adopted sister , model lula landry , a declared suicide , was murdered . his basis is cctv footage of a man in the area where lula was found . an interview with a very young inspector , eric wardle , puts lula ' s boyfriend evan duffield in the clear , sending cormoran and temporary secretary robin in pursuit of would - be suitor , rapper deeby macc , and fellow flat dweller tansy bestigui , who alerted the police to lula ' s death . also in the frame is lula ' s greedy friend rochelle , now fallen on hard times . john ' s uncle , solicitor tony landry , steps in to divert cormoran and undermine his investigation but then cormoran discovers another body .\nenjoy your intermission is a touching portrait documentary of hi - way drive - in theater , a drive - in theater 2 hours outside of new york city whose owners carry a distinct and inspiring passion and dedication to their trade . this film dives much deeper than simply being a portrait of a drive - in theater , but also addresses the changing economic , technological , and experiential climate of cinema itself and its impact on the movie going experience .\nnow contrast that to fury road , where you can ' t remove the issue without the plot falling apart . add in the amazing way fury road handled the issue \u2014 in a manner game of thrones could only dream of doing \u2014 and i hope people can see the difference between a film making commentary on a serious issue which is central to its overall plot , and a tv series simply using sexual assault as an insulting way to shock viewers and motivate the characters .\nwill vinton created the nome king . special effects were overseen by zoran perisic , as director of the model and process unit and visual effects consultant . the coronation scene at the film ' s end includes oz characters that do not appear elsewhere in it : the braided man , button - bright , cap ' n bill holding the magic flower , the frogman , glinda , some munchkins , notta bit more , the patchwork girl , polychrome , the shaggy man , and even tommy kwikstep .\nby way of explanation , let ' s compare fury road with game of thrones , which is continually criticized for how it depicts issues of sexual assault and victimization . i believe this is a valid comparison because game of thrones is one of the iconic tv series of our time . just as i hope fury road might influence hollywood for the better , game of thrones is already influencing hollywood for the worse , with tons of rip - offs of the hbo series continually appearing on tv and in film .\nthis interest in film as a primarily pictorial art perhaps worked at the expense of his films ' dramatic or narrative interest , but at least his lack of theatrical background ensured that his films were not stagey and over - literary . he disliked stage plays as his raw material and preferred to write his own stories : he liked to work in the open air and if he had to work indoors always tried to use daylight . unusually for the time , his actors and actresses wore little or no make - up .\nunquestionably , cold war era paranoia holds hands with magic in night of the eagle , from the moment it\u2019s invoked in the first scene of the film until the very last scenes . it\u2019s signposted once , but it lingers in the film throughout . the idea of people who look like us and act like us , but harbour destructive secrets and want to overthrow us by any means is something integral to so many films of the era . however , this also shows parity with the beliefs of the past , when it was witchcraft which threatened to do the same thing . at this time too , the irony is that the very real fear of the four - minute warning was very likely to have made people drift away from the rationalism which had made such a thing possible , even likely . the early 60s were already seeing a steady resurgence of interest in new - old religions , magic and paganism . this is the difficult impasse which seems to form the backbone of night of the eagle : the dark side of rationalism led people to look to the past , but the practices of the past they resurrected brought additional paranoia and the threat of harm . these things cast their shadows over the film , whether overtly or covertly . night of the eagle also excels , via its script , at reminding us just how long our relationship with magic has been . it\u2019s thoroughly interwoven with our language , and it\u2019s there in the dialogue : ideas are \u2018bewitching\u2019 , people act as \u2018good luck charms\u2019 , people laughingly suggest people \u2018sell their soul to the devil\u2019 for a good outcome . the script is simply able to add the phrase \u2018we can press a button\u2019 , and we know now what that signifies , too .\nthe film was shot in england , on london sound stages plus some exteriors on salisbury plain . freddy francis , the project ' s original cinematographer , left after four weeks , unable to agree with director murch ; francis was replaced by david watkin . the result was the francis shot the kansas material , while watkin shot oz . the shoot fell behind schedule , and rumors held that disney executive richard berger wanted to fire murch . murch ' s friends in the business , francis ford coppola , george lucas , and steven spielberg , visited the set to provide encouragement .\nwill find nothing new here , and critics of marvel\u2019s faceless armies will find a literal army of faceless , mindless grunts . there are a few standout design decisions\u2014enchantress ( cara delevigne ) and her cosmic cape is one of the closest cinematic equivalents to a comic book panel in recent memory\u2014but these are few and far between . the film tries to buy cultural cache from its soundtrack\u2014queen , the white stripes , lil wayne and eminem all feature\u2014but the songs play hollow , tacked on as an afterthought rather than truly integrated in sequences , while steven price\u2019s score is almost pavlovian , playing heroic cues at typically heroic moments and leaving little room for ambiguity .\nsuicide squad introduces a number of iconic ( and less iconic ) characters to the dc line - up ; by far the best is davis\u2019 amanda waller , whose straight , unapologetically ruthless and self - serving nature acts both as an accurate translation of the character and a refreshing alternative to the cartoonish squad members . deadshot is functional if underdeveloped , as is joel kinnaman\u2019s rick flagg ; the defacto group leaders , they both feel more like the main character of a video game than a film . diablo ( jay hernandez ) is billed as the pacifist heart of the crew , unwilling to let his anger take over , yet when his powers are actually unleashed they\u2019re underwhelming , a combination of lacklustre cgi and low energy performance . jared leto\u2019s heavily hyped joker attempts to move as far away from heath ledger as possible , ending up as a jumbled parody of the character rather than a serious attempt . presented as more of a gangster than agent of chaos , the joker is a recurring plot disruption and leto bites off more scenery than he can chew . jai courtney seems to be the only actor who was told the film was a comedy , and although his bogan captain boomerang is one of the most consistently enjoyable team members to cut away to , the fact that a white australian plays a character so inherently appropriative of indigenous culture begs the question of why they didn\u2019t consider casting an indigenous actor in the role in the first place . 2\nthis is exemplified in the introduction of deadshot ( will smith ) and harley quinn ( margot robbie ) ; we meet them first as brutalised prisoners in a louisiana black site , then meet them again in a montage of the proposed members of the squad , then are introduced a third time when amanda waller ( viola davis ) first approaches them to join the team . there\u2019s no consistency in these introductions either , with characters like captain boomerang ( jai courtney ) , who is half introduced in an early montage but seemingly forgotten until he shows up as part of the team more than half an hour later , and katana ( karen fukuhara ) , who literally jumps onto the chopper at the last second . 1 waller pitches the very idea of the suicide squad twice in two concurrent scenes\u2014once in a fancy restaurant , once in a military briefing\u2014with the second scenario a far more nuanced and engaging presentation of the same information . this all contributes to the feeling that the film is merely a collection of scenes shot with no clear direction in mind , an aim of saving it all in the edit . this uncertainty is embedded in the plot ; the film seems uncertain as to whether the audience should be clued in to the scheme of its super powered villain or be kept in the dark with the squad , and settles for something in between , where scenes that play like significant reveals for the squad have actually already played for the viewers , and yet they still don\u2019t quite make sense . the plot itself is borderline incomprehensible as a result , even with frequent dialogue reminders of what is happening .\n\u201ci do not believe\u201d are the first words both spoken and seen in night of the eagle . these words are the crux of a lecture being given by professor norman taylor ( peter wyngarde ) , a rational man who is deeply cynical about the new wave of magical thinking already diffusing through society by the 1960s . however , by this point in time , the supremacy of science and rationalism was already fraught with problems ; as taylor acknowledges , magic may have let the genie out of the lamp , but science was by then poised to unleash nuclear warfare . it\u2019s the first acknowledgement of a broader malaise which filters through in the film : although it\u2019s a microcosm , real - life concerns , such as professionalism and promotion , collide with the prospect of older , supernatural forces , and the end result is great anxiety and risk for all concerned ."]}

, goes smoothly . unknown to her and her family , roja\u2019s sister is in love with the son of her paternal aunt .\nwhen rishi wishes to speak to roja\u2019s sister alone , she gathers enough courage to convey this and politely asks him to reject her in front of her parents , to which he obliges . to everyone\u2019s surprise rishi requests roja ' s hand in marriage instead . being unaware of her sister ' s love affair , roja is not willing to accept rishi ' s proposal as she believes that he is the best match for her sister but she marries rishi , and the couple go to live in madras while her sister marries her cousin .\ninitially roja does not like what rishi did , but when she learns of her sister ' s love affair and consequent rejection of rishi , she apologizes and starts seeing him in a new light . love blossoms , and life is blissful for the couple for a short while . meanwhile , due to the illness of his boss , rishi is assigned to an army communications center in baramulla . the couple find themselves in a beautiful yet alien land . roja ' s world turns upside down when rishi is abducted by terrorists whose agenda is to separate kashmir from india and free their leader , wasim khan , from judicial custody .\nfaced with the daunting task of rescuing her husband , roja runs from pillar to post , pleading with politicians and the military for help . further complicating matters is the communication gap : she can ' t speak their language , and they can ' t speak hers . meanwhile rishi , held captive by a group of terrorists led by liaqat ( pankaj kapur ) , an associate to wasim khan , tries to reason with the terrorists , about their misdirected motive for the liberation of kashmir . liaqat\u2019s sister shows a little compassion towards him . initially , when roja\u2019s efforts fail , the indian government denies any negotiations with the terrorists for the release of rishi in the media .\nthe angered terrorists burn an indian flag . rishi risks his life to put out the fire and shows the terrorist how much the country means to him , a regular citizen . when liaqat\u2019s younger brother , who with few other youths from his village sent across the border to pakistan for training , is shot by the pakistan army , liaqat\u2019s strong belief is shaken , but he still manages to convince himself of the cause . consequently , roja\u2019s efforts to apprise the politicians of her suffering and pain are successful as a minister pities her and offers to help .\nmuch to the chagrin of colonel rayappa , the government decides to release wasim khan in exchange for rishi . rishi , not wanting to be used as a pawn to release a dangerous terrorist , gets help from the sympathetic liaqat\u2019s sister and escapes \u2014 with liaqat and his men chasing him . colonel rayappa , roja and other army officers get to the hostage exchange spot with wasim khan , but liaqat does not show up . this leads roja to think that rishi is dead . the army locks wasim khan up in the prison .\nrishi has managed to get close to the exchange spot on his own after evading the terrorists . during his escape , rishi kills two terrorists . liaqat catches up with him and holds him at gun point . rishi reasons with liaqat further and convinces him that his war is immoral . liaqat lets rishi go and he goes to the exchange spot . liaqat escapes from the indian army .

fashioned film work and the latest technology joined forces to save a movie that would otherwise have been lost .\noh , this film is a classic . the effects might seem crude by today\u2019s standards but this was revolutionary when it came out , and in that sense it\u2019s still impressive especially when you consider what other filmmakers were doing at the time ( the lumi\u00e8re bros . , for example ) .\nin summary , everyone except surprise fbi plant mr . green ( michael mckean ) , actually posing as a homosexual state department employee , had murdered someone that night . but then he exclaimed when the film was concluding that he had also killed master blackmailer mr . boddy , in the hall with a revolver :\na trip to the moon is an iconic silent film and probably the single most famous motion picture of the decade of the 1900s . it is also a window into a simpler age when it seemed that anything was possible in the movies . all i can say is that you really should see it for yourself .\nthe main avenue for the domestic distribution of nfb films was its non - theatrical \u201ccircuits\u201d system , which the bureau had also used . the circuits system distributed films via rural , industrial and union contacts , and eventually resulted in the creation of film libraries , which would become the centre of the nfb\u2019s postwar distribution system .\nthat was a good survey of the movie and its importance , fritzi . i think one of the first things that got me excited about searching on the web was finding a page on the trip to the moon operetta and the attraction at coney island\u2019s luna park . i didn\u2019t remember encountering them in film history books .\nthis was hollywood\u2019s first big film about the catholic abuse crisis , yet it gave us no more than a glimpse of the perpetrators . given that the latter have cost the us church $ 3 billion and unpicked some of the oldest fabric of american society , you\u2019d hope for at least one convincing portrayal of an abuser priest .\nin recent years , hollywood majors have flouted the 1988 policy , increasingly distributing small , independent films . trade organizations , such as the non - profit canadian association of film distributors and exporters ( cafde , established in 1991 ) , have called for renewed government attention to the distribution sector to combat the increasing encroachment of us outfits , urging more forceful application of the 1988 policy . part of this push includes lobbying governments to expand the definition of distribution to include new digital platforms , and working to see better funding strategies for prints and advertising ( key expenses in film distribution ) that would encourage reinvestment in the marketing \u2014 and production \u2014 of canadian feature films .\nin september 1918 , the federal government created the first national film production unit in the world , the exhibits and publicity bureau , to produce films promoting canadian trade and industry . the canadian government motion picture bureau ( the organization\u2019s name after 1 april 1923 ) produced short informational films , such as the series seeing canada , and distributed them across canada and abroad . in the 1920s , the bureau had the largest film production studio in canada . bureau productions were distributed across the commonwealth , to european nations like france and belgium , the united states , japan and china . its success in distribution was found in non - theatrical screenings , though some of its films were shown in theatres .\nthis triple - ended murder - mystery spoof set in the mid - 1950s in a remote new england mansion was a comic adaptation of the popular parker bros . board game . it was revealed in the third ending (\nthis is what really happened\n) , the most complex and believable of the multiple endings to the film , that :\nin the 1980s , several legislative initiatives emerged in an attempt to combat us monopolies in the hopes of keeping canadian - generated distribution and exhibition profits in the country . in 1983 , the province of quebec \u2014 which has its own effectively self - contained film industry , with a built - in , receptive audience \u2014 moved to challenge american control with the passage of the qu\u00e9bec cinema act . the act stipulated that distributors not already operating in qu\u00e9bec before december 1982 must have their primary location in the province in order to receive a distributor\u2019s licence . moreover , all distributors doing business in qu\u00e9bec were required to reinvest a minimum of 10 per cent of revenues back into qu\u00e9bec - made film productions .\nthe household disintegrates in the first minutes of the film . a fifth priest called father garcia ( marcelo alonso ) arrives , pursued by a drifter called sandokan ( roberto far\u00edas ) who stands outside the house and shouts details \u2014 more explicit than you can imagine , unless you have a truly filthy mind \u2014 of the sex acts this priest performed on him .\ndespite encouragement from such prominent hollywood figures as director d . w . griffith , who told a toronto audience that canada \u201cshould have [ its ] own films and exchange them with those of other countries , \u201d the federal government did little to boost , or even safeguard , the nation\u2019s nascent feature film industry . in fact , canadian companies structured themselves after the highly successful , vertically integrated american industrial model , whereby production studios also owned distributors and exhibitors . for example , in the early 1900s , the allen amusement corporation used their film exchange to obtain exclusive rights to films from path\u00e9 , independent motion pictures and later paramount pictures . as a result , by 1920 , the allen theatres chain was the largest in canada .\nstudying the voluminous files stored at the united states army document center , radmann finds his worst fears substantiated . he is encouraged in his investigations by fritz bauer , a real - life prosecutor wonderfully played by gert voss , who died in 2014 and to whom the film is dedicated . bauer wears an expression of wide - eyed , infinitely sad knowledge of evil .\nthe proposals encountered stiff opposition from the mpaa , and generated intense lobbying in both ottawa and washington . when the film products importation bill ( bill 109 ) was tabled in june 1988 , the original proposals had been weakened considerably and , during the free trade negotiations that followed , the federal government apparently agreed to abandon those as well . the bill was subsequently shelved .\nthe film opened with a significant prologue . it began with the story about a blind clockmaker named mr . gateau ( meaning cake ) who , after he lost his son in the great war ( in 1918 ) , created a train station clock that went backward in time . it was a symbolic gesture - an attempt to turn back time . the clockmaker explained , apologetically :\nthis film follows the aftermath of the oka crisis , which brought indigenous rights into sharp focus . after the barricades came down , the royal commission on aboriginal peoples was created , and travelled to more than 100 communities and heard from more than 1 , 000 representatives . for two - and - a - half years , teams of indigenous filmmakers followed the commission on its journey .\nnote : unless otherwise stated , the cited essays can be found in the anthology fantastic voyages of the cinematic imagination : georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019s trip to the moon . the book comes very highly recommended as a serious and scholarly dissection of this famous film , though it does occasionally become bogged down in its own jargon and does that kill - the - magic thing i have been talking about .\nwhen\nmonty\narrived at the right address for best buddy floyd , the scene of floyd ' s murder , he revealed his obvious guilt .\nmonty\nfled from police onto the street and was shot dead by finlay from a second story window , as the film concluded . finlay concluded :\nhe was dead for a long time . he just didn ' t know it .\nthis short documentary by celebrated filmmaker alanis obomsawin is a portrait of eugene\ngene boy\n( pronounced genie boy ) benedict , from odanak indian reserve ( near montreal , quebec ) . at 17 , he enlisted in the us marines and was sent to the frontlines of the vietnam war . this film is the account of his 2 years of service and his long journey back to odanak afterwards .\nthere were some classic set - pieces - the electrocution murder of a maintenance man - informant who was about to tell dr . wheeler about the conspiracy , her climb up a hospital ' s ladder ( shedding her shoes and pantyhose ) to follow the path of a tube that carried carbon monoxide from the hospital ' s basement to operating room # 8 , her tour visit to the jefferson institute where long - term comatose vegetative patients were taken from the hospital and suspended in a naked state by wires from the ceiling - and the pursuit - chase after her by security guards ending with her escape atop a emr vehicle , her stalking in the hospital ' s amphitheatre and an anatomy classroom by a hired assailant - and their confrontation in a morgue freezer filled with cadavers , and the concluding scene of dr . wheeler being unnecessarily operated on for appendicitis by dr . harris himself , who wished to silence her forever .\nin short order , canadian box office revenues were incorporated as part of the \u201cdomestic\u201d profits of the american film distributors . foreign companies overwhelmed the canadian distribution and exhibition sector as the major hollywood studios acquired direct or indirect control of the country\u2019s two largest theatrical chains : famous players and odeon theatres ( now merged under the name cineplex entertainment ) . this ensured a steady flow of hollywood films into canadian theatres .\nalso , further examination of the tale shows us that the story may not be as simple as we think . film historian matthew solomon points out that m\u00e9li\u00e8s 1890s political cartoons mocked militant nationalism and bullying colonialism . the whimsical path of destruction wrought by barbenfouillis and his associates suddenly takes on disturbing real - world implications . it\u2019s reasonable to conclude that m\u00e9li\u00e8s was not celebrating the violent expedition to the moon ; he was satirizing it .\ni enjoyed hearing the thoughts of the band members , which were included as an extra on the dvd / blu - ray release . air respected the film enormously but they did not want to be stuck in another time . they stated that they had no wish to be forgers , that is , replicating the sounds of 1902 exactly . rather , they wanted to include nods to the old days but make the score modern .\nthe film told about a moonlighting , kinky la street - walking , pill - popping prostitute named china blue ( kathleen turner ) who wore a platinum wig but by day worked as a prim but workaholic fashion designer named joanna crane . in a grungy downtown area filled with xxx adult stores , bars , live nude and peep shows , she wore a platinum wig and light blue silky dress and frequented the paradise isle hotel for tricks .\nit was weber who won him a contract at paramount and advised him to change his name to gardner , on the ground that goldberg was \u201ctoo jewish\u201d . gardner appeared opposite ruby keeler in shipmates forever ( 1935 ) , while in assassin of youth ( 1937 ) he played a reporter writing a story on the influence of marijuana on the youth of the day ; the film flopped at the time but has since become a cult classic .\ndirector david fincher ' s romantic fantasy was based upon f . scott fitzgerald ' s 1922 short story ( adapted for the screen by eric roth , with some modifications ) . its basic plot was about the title character , benjamin button ( portrayed by brad pitt ) , who was born old and grew younger as he aged in reverse ( both physically and mentally ) . its unusual premise was reflected in the film ' s many taglines :\nthen , about halfway through the film , he switched sides and thursby was recruited to work as a counter - intelligence double - agent for sunways . he was briefed by its head of security frank callaway ( timothy webber ) . sunways ' goal was to have thursby feed digicorp false and corrupted data to sabotage their operations . he wasn ' t aware that both companies were ruthless corporations that planned to eliminate him after he had completed his espionage operation .\nthe sleeper film opened inside an immense , b / w cube - shaped room , with vault - like doors situated in the center of its six square surfaces . each door led to another similar interlocking cubed room , although in different colors ( blue , red , amber , green , etc . ) . some of the maze - connected rooms were booby - trapped and triggered with motion - detectors , heat and sound sensors , and many destructive devices :\na film , also called a movie , motion picture or photoplay , is a series of still images which , when shown on a screen , creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon . this optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession . a film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera ; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques ; by means of cgi and computer animation ; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects . the word\ncinema\n, short for cinematography , is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself . the contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas , stories , perceptions , feelings , beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations .\nmovies had been in color since almost the beginning . in the case of m\u00e9li\u00e8s , certain films were meticulously colored by hand . a trip to the moon was one of these films . ( m\u00e9li\u00e8s painted his sets in black and white , assuring that they would film well on the primitive nitrate . ) when interest in this magician of early cinema was rekindled , the copies of a trip to the moon were battered , damaged , incomplete and in black and white .\ndaisy uttered her own last words :\ngood night , benjamin\n- with a symbolic hummingbird at her window . as she died , hurricane katrina struck the hospital and flooded the city of new orleans , including a warehouse where a reverse - running clock built for the train station ( at the time of benjamin ' s birth ) had been stored and was still functioning . benjamin ' s voice - over concluded the film , commenting on the diversity of human life :\nin 1946 , the motion picture export association of america ( mpeaa , now mpaa ) was established to promote hollywood productions in foreign markets . although the original vertical combines of the majors were broken up in 1948 under us antitrust legislation , the basic operating principle continued . most of hollywood\u2019s production is still controlled , and generally financed , by the major studios . the consecutive patterns of vertical integration and distributor - controlled production have continued to seriously impact the sustainability of the canadian film industry .\ni subscribe to the belief that music is as important as the images on the screen . so when a score is said to \u201cdraw attention to itself , \u201d that is not a bad thing in my book . a great many iconic sound film scores ( lawrence of arabia ; star wars ; alexander nevsky ; the good , the bad and the ugly ; yojimbo ; the elephant man ) do draw attention to themselves but they also support and harmonize with the images on the screen .\nstaff photo by charles boothe : many descendants of the late jack and howard bondurant attended the premiere showing of \u201clawless\u201d at the eagle cinema in rocky mount wednesday night . they gathered for a party at the cinema before seeing the film . sitting at the table in the foreground are , from left , carol bondurant ( wife of g . t . bondurant ) , jack bondurant\u2019s daughters , emmie lee gagni and betty lou mitchell , mitchell\u2019s husband howard , and jack bondurant\u2019s son , g . t . bondurant .\nyou can take any piece of wwii footage showing someone holding something to the side of their head talking , and claim it is a time traveling cell phone user ,\nmikkelson said .\nfilm clips aren ' t of sufficient resolution to see what the people are carrying . it could be anything from a handkerchief to a hearing aid , or who knows what . and this video is silent , so you can ' t even tell if the person is engaged in a two - way conversation .\nthe talkie revolution hit in the late 1920s and silent films were seen as relics . some were scavenged for footage to be glued into sound films . some were destroyed . some simply rotted away . around the time that al jolsen was declaring that we ain\u2019t seen nothing yet , interested parties in france were trying to track down and preserve the early history of film . in the case of m\u00e9li\u00e8s , after the collapse of his studio , he destroyed his own body of work , burning hundreds of his own films .\nthe earnest post - holocaust drama \u201c labyrinth of lies \u201d can be viewed as a sequel of sorts to \u201c judgment at nuremberg , \u201d the much - decorated 1961 stanley kramer film about the nuremberg trials of the 1940s , in which top - ranking nazis were tried for crimes against humanity . the trials are still imprinted in many people\u2019s minds as the ultimate moment of reckoning , after which a horrific chapter of history was more or less closed and the world moved on . of course , it wasn\u2019t as simple as that .\nin 1924 , the motion picture exhibitors and distributors of canada ( mpedc ) was created as an instrument to protect american film industry interests . known as the cooper organization , after its president , john alexander cooper , the organization took its direction ( and funding ) from the motion picture producers and distributors of america ( mppda ) . the cooper organization ensured that us industry practices were introduced , and cemented , in canada , particularly discriminatory methods ( such as requiring cash in advance ) aimed at curbing the success of independent exhibitors ."]}

( the episode\u2019s opening dialogue of a 911 call in spanish reporting a death , and the images of a body floating in a river , will make more sense as the season progresses . )\nkatrina , which tells the story of america\u2019s response to the devastating 2005 storm , was picked up first as a followup of the hugely successful the people v . o . j . simpson : american crime story , from the same team of murphy , nina jacobson and brad simpson . it was originally slated to film this spring and debut later this year , with the third installment , versace , filming almost simultaneously but airing in 2018 .\nremaking shows for american audiences , sometimes to great success , is nothing new\u2014 all in the family was a remake . and the practice is certainly not limited to crime drama . showtime ' s water - cooler thriller homeland , for instance , is an adaptation of the israeli series hatufim , and of course there ' s the undeniable mega - success of the office . but when it comes to the very of - the - moment crime genre in particular , there ' s little evidence to support continuing the borrowing trend . the killing and the bridge are certainly not failures , but they ' re not exactly successes either . nbc had a definitive flop when it tried to recreate the helen mirren - starring british series prime suspect with a high - profile american version ( whose only real similarity to the original was the title ) starring maria bello . it was a solid show , but the viewers never came , as they haven ' t really come for these recent cable imports . and yet networks keep carting the blueprints for these series across the ocean , despite there being only meager signs that audiences are hungry for them .\nthe bizarre events depicted in \u201camerican crime\u201d came to light after the indianapolis police , on oct . 26 , 1965 , responded to a call involving a death at 3850 east new york street . they arrived to find a houseful of children and a haggard , disheveled woman who claimed the young woman \u2014 a boarder at her home \u2014 had staggered inside and died after having been beaten by a group of boys . after examining the body , officers suspected otherwise .\ndocufiction may seem an odd fit for mr . murphy , known for carving the exquisite gargoyles of \u201camerican horror story\u201d and \u201cscream queens . \u201d but mr . murphy , a former journalist , has a reporter\u2019s impulse to document the way we live and a moralist\u2019s zeal about society\u2019s obsession with fame and appearance . ( his \u201cnip / tuck\u201d used plastic surgery to examine self - loathing ; \u201cglee\u201d began with rachel berry\u2019s declaration that \u201cbeing anonymous is worse than being poor . \u201d )\nit\u2019s a reflection of the show\u2019s philosophy that the seemingly happily married white couple whose murder and assault kicks off the series remains largely mysterious and unknown : matt and gwen would be on the front page of the paper , but they are of the least interest to american crime \u2019s writers . instead matt\u2019s death acts as a kind of dragnet , grabbing up a number of disparate characters that the show follows even as the immediate ramifications of the murder fade from their lives .\nwhat it lacks in fun , it makes up for in intelligence , complexity , and boldness . it ' s a network show about heavy , difficult , uncomfortable topics , and it expects , quite simply , an audience . it deserves one , too .\nour findings in regard to education , employment , and poverty were unexpected because of their departure from those of the dast , as well as previous studies conducted among american indians . in her study of homicide among american indians , bachman 4 found that both social disorganization and economic deprivation contributed to high levels of lethal violence in reservation communities . this same set of associations has been noted in regard to other problems among american indians , such as suicide 32\u2013 34 and alcohol abuse . 31 hence , we anticipated that , in this study , impoverishment and lower levels of education and employment would be linked to greater trauma exposure . that they were not is puzzling and deserves further consideration .\nin the anthology series\u2019 second season , ridley reveals to variety exclusively , the show\u2019s central crime will revolve around a high school boy who accuses several players on a championship basketball team at a private school of sexually assaulting him \u2014 and taking photos and posting them online .\namerican crime , the impressive and somber new drama series written by john ridley , the screenwriter of 12 years a slave , begins with a dreaded phone call . robbery - homicide officers in modesto , california , wake russ skokie ( timothy hutton ) in the middle of the night and tell him he needs to fly there immediately to identify what they believe to be the remains of his son , matt , who appears to be the victim of a home invasion . russ arrives that morning , gazes on his son\u2019s corpse , learns matt\u2019s wife , gwen , is in a coma , seemingly the victim of sexual assault , and asks to use the restroom , where he sobs loudly , like a wounded animal . it\u2019s a blunt , immersive introduction to american crime \u2019s tough emotional palate . the series is one of the first network dramas in a cable mode that that does not feel seriously reduced , stupefied , or broadened by its network address , and that means the viewing can be very tough going .\nour study represented the first systematic assessment of the prevalence of trauma exposure in american indian communities , specifically tribal members living on or near several large us reservations . data were collected as part of the american indian service utilization , psychiatric epidemiology , risk and protective factors project ( hereafter \u201cthe project\u201d ) , the largest , most comprehensive study of its kind . our goals were to ( 1 ) describe the nature and frequency of trauma in these 2 american indian communities , ( 2 ) examine the demographic correlates of trauma , and ( 3 ) place these findings in a larger context via a comparison with the results of the national comorbidity survey ( ncs ) , a large psychiatric epidemiological survey of the us population .\n\u201cwe could not be more excited to welcome regina back for a third season of \u2018american crime , ' \u201d creator john ridley said in a statement , obtained by variety . \u201cshe is among the talent who have quickly become intimately associated with the program . as with the first two seasons , her many fans can expect a total transformation as she plays one of the complicated individuals caught up in a story that deals with labor issues , economic divides and individual rights in this season\u2019s setting of north carolina . \u201d\nthe reasons for such differences may reside in the argument that aggressive acts become more serious and more often result in injury when assailants have been drinking than when they are sober . analyses of 1992\u20131993 national crime victimization survey data 29 have revealed that alcohol escalates the likelihood of physical assault and injury during interpersonal conflict . an equally provocative possibility follows from the thesis that cultural norms that legitimize fighting among group members who drink heavily contribute to higher levels of violence . 30 both observations are important in light of the widespread presence of alcohol in many american indian communities , the associated consumption patterns , and the violent consequences that often ensue . 31 analyses are under way with project data that will allow us to examine the potential association between trauma exposure\u2014specifically assaultive violence\u2014and alcohol use , abuse , and dependence .\nyet according to the hollywood reporter , series director anthony hemingway admitted \u201cthat just kind of got stalled . we\u2019re all standing by waiting to find out what\u2019s happening . nothing has really been done . we haven\u2019t started prep on it at all . \u201d when asked if the second season would be happening at all , hemingway , who directed half of the episodes of the previous season\u2019s american crime story : the people v . o . j . simpson , shrugged . \u201cwho knows ? it\u2019s all up to ryan murphy . \u201d\nat base , the show is about exposing systems of false choices : shae shuttles from an abusive family to a pimp , then to a state - imposed christian shelter and to webcam porn , but each option is a trap . on the farm , getting a promotion means tricking recruits into debt , then beating them into productivity . but what really makes \u201camerican crime\u201d pay off is its own stark system : even as we get helplessly attached to certain characters , their stories end , often violently , and the show coolly moves on . the series never buys into the comforting fantasy that exceptional people can escape bad odds through decency or grit just because we\u2019re watching . instead , it tucks their unhappy endings in where they belong , at the middle of another story , as part of a bigger picture .\namerican indians live in pervasively adverse social and physical environments that place them at higher risk than many other americans of exposure to traumatic experiences . 1 , 2 rates of violent victimization of american indians are more than twice as high as the national average . 3\u2013 6 they also suffer motor vehicle mortalities at a rate 2 to 3 times that among whites . 7 deaths due to hypothermia , drowning , falls , poisoning , and burns are considerably more common among american indians than among other groups . 8 however , the available evidence provides little insight into individual experiences of trauma or variations across communities . understanding such factors is critical to calculating risks of psychiatric disorder and other health consequences and to planning for their prevention as well as treatment .\nremaking broadchurch for an american audience seems , at first glance , not so logical . broadchurch , \u2014 which , with its male / female detective pairing and single - case - over - a - season structure , is earning inevitable comparisons to the killing \u2014 is a certified hit in the uk , but there ' s no guarantee it will translate , or be translated well . ( though , of course , the original series is already in english . ) with the original now available in america , a remake feels a bit redundant . and it ' s probably on the wrong network ; the british version has a polished sheen that would work much better on a cable network than on sloppy , occasionally sleazy fox . at the very least , the british series creator is on board for the american version , and fox is , for the moment , calling its adaptation an\nevent series ,\nmeaning it ' s a limited run and can thus tell its story more neatly and efficiently . ( though we all know that networks can change their minds about that . )\ni honestly hope that it doesn ' t deliver a verbal message . it was not my desire to try to get into people ' s living rooms or on their ipads and proselytize to them on a weekly basis . i believe that at its best , entertainment is an apparatus for delivering feelings . i don ' t know that i personally can reach people on an intellectual level . i believe and hope the writing is good , but it ' s not about preaching to people ; it ' s about having an emotion and people getting pulled along and not even knowing how they arrived there . it ' s not a procedural ; it ' s not about the next piece of dna evidence \u2014 it ' s about people dealing with a situation they never asked for , they don ' t want to be a part of and will not resolve itself in a week , in a month and sometimes even a year ."]}

readings of the turn of the screw , for example . instead , the film plays it annoyingly straight . there\u2019s no measure of self - awareness or camp in emily\u2019s screams as ameerah tries to suffocate her with a pillow ; no modern lens of awareness that turns onto a problematic text and examines it .\nashraf shishir is an independent motion pictures and film professional , script writer , poet , story writer , human rights activists from bangladesh . published 5 books . birthdate : 01 . 02 . 1983 , education : masters in international human rights law . filmography : worked as script writer and director , the cart ( gaariwala ) ( a children film which is awarded a grant from the govt . of bangladesh , 2014 ) the cage bird ( docu , 13mins 50sec , 2012 ) .\nbank lending and asset -

american actors and actresses on screen , but merely increasing their quantity is not enough . asian - americans should be not be cast in distasteful caricatures of their ethnic identities . roles should instead showcase the full spectrum of diversity and complexity in asian - american populations . if the public does not see asians in mainstream roles that are not defined by cultural stereotypes , the stereotypes will go unchallenged .\nthe theme of the recession \u2013 and getting through it \u2013 is a strong theme in the film itself , in which a traumatised former soldier , who has begun a new life in the city as a bank clerk , is made redundant \u2026 and discovers his fiance is having an affair with his boss . determined to exact revenge , he suffers a nervous breakdown and films himself killing his co - workers , before being shot down by armed police officers in a final blaze of glory .\nthere are some allowances to be made here for the flawed perceptions of the era . it is not the making of a lady \u2019s fault that it is built on two very different books that are ostensibly about the same character . but it is the film\u2019s fault for not attempting to knit together these stories better\u2014and itv\u2019s fault in choosing to adapt the novels so faithfully . everything else aside , it\u2019s perplexing that any television producer would read these two novels and think , \u201cyes ! perfect for modern television ! \u201d\non one hand , itv\u2019s dedication its flawed source material is admirable\u2014no one watching the first 10 minutes of the film , which consist mostly of emily taking notes for a rich lady , would guess that the story would end with a trio of either magical or malaria - crazed interlopers trying to force her to abort her child . the making of a lady is based on the making of a marchioness and its sequel , the methods of lady walderhurst , both the works of frances hodgson burnett , celebrated author of a little princess and the secret garden .\ncameron says that because everyone involved in the film is entitled to a percentage of any profits , he has had very little need to pay cash upfront for anything .\nso far , only one or two people have raised the question of money ,\nhe says .\nyou don ' t need money to do great things \u2013 you need resources and great faith .\nthrough favours and goodwill , cameron and his team have managed to obtain locations for filming as well as sound , lighting and other equipment without having to pay a bean .\nto give credit where credit is due , the first half of the making of a lady actually shapes up to be a very nice , if subtle , film . lydia wilson as emily makes for a nuanced heroine , whose expressive eyes make up for the lack of intelligent lines she\u2019s given . and the production includes the requisite sweeping shots of the english countryside and fantastic costuming , which help to break up the sentimental monotony . emily and her husband learn to love each other ( and to have chaste victorian sex ) , and the house begins to feel a little more like a home .\ncameron isn ' t the only example of an enterprising mind who views the recession as a springboard , rather than an obstacle . when the company paul logan worked for , national screen services , shut up shop , he used his redundancy payment to buy the assets from his former employer and with a couple of old colleagues started logan ' s run , printing and distributing posters , publicity and point of sale merchandise in the uk to cinemas and film studios .\ni used half my redundancy package to strike a deal for two digital printers , an apple mac and some other office equipment ,\nhe recounts .\nthe film tells the story of emily fox -

for - tv adaptation is a bizarrely disjointed costume drama that starts out as a slow - burning love affair and ends up vilifying hindus as practitioners of black magic .\na mere 40 minutes later , an elderly indian woman in a sari attempts to abort emily\u2019s pregnancy with several glasses of cinnamon milk .\nbut the second half , which bubbles up out of nowhere , jerks the sweet love story towards gothic melodrama . the story is suddenly weighed down by what is intended to be creeping oriental horror : emily\u2019s husband is sent to india to put down an uprising , and while he\u2019s gone , his charismatic cousin osbourn ( james d\u2019arcy ) and osbourn\u2019s indian wife show up and try to wrest the estate from emily\u2019s hands .\nin and of itself , that\u2019s nothing new : bad guys will be bad guys . but the flavor of the suspense gradually takes on a quality that treats india and everything from it like a toxic infection . osbourn can\u2019t be trusted because he spent time in india , found an indian wife , and contacted malaria , which makes him suffer fits of insanity . and after emily gets pregnant , the osbourns turn their attention to aborting that pregnancy\u2014which feels like nothing less than a heavy - handed allegory for cultural purity .\nbut osbourn\u2019s wife isn\u2019t the only indian in the house . partway into her stay , she sends for her ayah , and a broader caricature of \u201cmagical exotic woman\u201d could not be possible . ameerah is a pastiche of \u201cwitch\u201d stereotypes\u2014elderly , dressed in exotic clothes , muttering in strange languages , and endowed with arcane knowledge . as osbourn frightens away servants with his fits of madness , ameerah gradually takes over the house\u2014serving indian food at supper , providing emily tonics for her pregnancy that make her more and more ill , and spying on lady walderhurst whenever convenient . it culminates in the pillow - suffocating moment , which is all the more hilarious because surely a strong english young woman could knock over an old lady , even while pregnant ? but the melodramatic terror of the other here is too strong for logic to penetrate .\nif it were current , the making of a lady would fall into that a / f range that ryan murphy\u2019s american horror story is always flirting with : the archetypes in use are powerful , but the thematic outcome is rarely better than muddled . but the making of a lady is an artifact of the ( very flawed ) past . it\u2019s intriguing to see england\u2019s colonial power addressed in one of these costume dramas , but at the same time , there is no effort spared to make it clear that the true malady here is the toxicity of the foreign\u2014whether that\u2019s with the ayah\u2019s brooding stares , osbourn\u2019s illness , or lord walderhurst\u2019s absence .\nwritten by : kate brooke , frances hodgson burnett debuts : sunday at 10 p . m . eastern on pbs format : made -

( in his later career , especially once he had resettled in hollywood , lang would regularly be accused of creating films lacking in character motivation and psychological depth . ) die spinnen opens with an enigmatic scene of an old man fleeing an inca warrior , before then rapidly introducing its socialite antagonists . the antagonists smash wine glasses and the battle begins . unlike in conventional narrative filmmaking , lang abruptly introduces scenes without the benefit of incremental exposition . the effect of this technique is disorientating , giving the impression that a fragment of the film may be missing . it is almost as if the storytelling cannot keep pace with the rapidly developing drama .\nkatherine , a tourist in modern - day england , stumbles into a hole while wandering around stonehenge , where she encounters king arthur and his knights . camelot is in chaos . the wine cellar is empty , hundreds of vikings are expected for dinner , and the romans have abandoned england . even worse , the countryside is overrun with dragons and brigands , and the ever present fog just will not lift . with katherine ' s assistance , merlin and his beloved niniane restore order to the kingdom by challenging morgan le fay and her ally , mordred , arthur ' s illegitimate son . donner ' s film , which was shelved by the studio for several years before being dumped for television release , is one of the silliest films ever made about the arthurian legend . everything about the film - - acting , dialog , settings , costumes - - is simply dreadful .\nthe young tristana finds herself in the care of the much older don lope , but tristana is in love with the much younger horacio . unwilling to make a commitment to horacio , she returns instead to the care of don lope . when she loses a leg because of cancer , she marries don lope , but remains in love with horacio . from the novel by benito p\u00e9rez gald\u00f3s , bu\u00f1uel ' s film has a complicated political subtext about power and gender . in addition , it represents a contemporary revision of the tristan legend , one of several which see tristan as a woman .\n- -

and - all look at the filmmakers\u2019 process that fails to get past its most troublesome wart . herein lies the problem for me as your humble reviewer , for the filmmakers have asked that we not discuss the major revelation in \u201calmost there ,\na revelation that colored my viewing experience to an irreconcilable degree . so i ' ll have to tap -

1950s with direct cinema , cinema v\u00e9rit\u00e9 , and the british free cinema movements . when the film was finally released in 1980 , however , the prints\u2014reportedly 16mm reductions from the 35mm original\u2014were so poor that the los angeles times reviewer could describe \u201clighting as flat and nasty as the inside of a phone booth . \u201d the soundtrack was also garbled , and thus the film\u2019s most innovative and affecting side\u2014its live dialogue\u2014was frustratingly incomprehensible . it\u2019s only now that the soundtrack restoration fully conveys these moving interviews , with men who often initially can only mumble or whisper their stories .\nthere\u2019s a compelling strain of documentary film that lifts the lid on outsider artists who work in the shadows . 1994\u2019s crumb , about r . crumb , who certainly had some measure of success before terry zwigoff\u2019s film , set the mold . a decade later , in the realms of the unreal ( pov 2005 ) took the form to a higher level by animating the work of artist henry darger . the devil and daniel johnston , about a manic depressive musician followed a year later and , more recently , among others , there\u2019s been marwencol and art and craft ( pov 2015 ) .\nalmost there\nexists on the other end of the doc spectrum . the filmmakers , on camera and often self - consciously , argue with anton , bring him to tears , confront his exasperating qualities and then keep on filming . at one point , fed up with anton ' s wheedling demands , we hear rybicky say that it was time for he and wickenden to recede .\nwe stepped back to film what would happen ,\nhe says ,\nand hoped for the best .\nat such moments it ' s hard not to look at anton ' s chroniclers as genial stumblebums .\nthe show is a success . we see anton playfully interacting with visitors and reuniting with some of his old neighbors . the film is half - over , and uplift is already in the air . then \u201calmost there\u201d lowers the boom on us . here\u2019s where i must tread lightly . one of intuit\u2019s visitors is olga briseno , the editor of the times of northwest indiana . fascinated by the rapport anton has with the people who knew him , she figures he\u2019s a local celebrity . so she digs into her archives to find stories on peter anton . what she finds is so unpleasant it stuns the filmmakers .\nthere ' s not a documentary filmmaker alive ( or dead ) who didn ' t face a moral dilemma , or a hundred of them , in the course of their field work . a camera changes everything . even the most observantly self - effacing of directors , such as frederick wiseman , affects the social experiment of whatever he ' s filming simply by being there , watching , filming .\nlet there be light was huston\u2019s third and final war documentary , after report from the aleutians ( 1943 ; viewable through the internet archive at this link ) and the harrowing combat film battle of san pietro ( 1945 ; featured in the nfpf\u2019s first treasures dvd anthology ) . john huston narrated the first two himself , but called upon his father , the actor walter huston , for let there be light . the noir touches at the opening of this documentary may look out of place , but it\u2019s worth remembering that hollywood\u2019s film noirs often center on the traumas of veterans returning home . huston\u2019s second film after the war , key largo , with bogart as the returning veteran , worked with the pattern .\nin the film , draco ' s reluctance to go with the death eaters is much more obvious .\nthere was a petal , floating on the surface , which gradually sank and turned into a fish just as it reached the bottom . the fish was named francis . slughorn discovered that the fish disappeared the day lily evans died . in the book , however , there is no mention of the present ; harry brings up the topic of his parents ' death after hagrid mentions them just before falling asleep .\nfilm showing the bayshore amusement park in its heyday , preserved by the maryland historical society with nfpf support .\naragog ' s size appears smaller than described and shown in both the books and the second film adaptation .\nwhen ron is brought to slughorn ' s office , slughorn mistakenly refers to him as\nwemby\nin the film . in the book , slughorn calls him\nralph\n. also in the book , slughorn later tells harry that he has had every bottle tested by a house elf since ron ' s incident , mistakenly referring to ron as\nrupert ,\nlikely a reference to the actor who plays ron in the film series , rupert grint . there is no mention of any precautionary measures taken by slughorn in the film .\nmuch of the first chapter has been omitted . this includes cornelius fudge discussing the murders , hurricanes , and bridge collapses that have been going on to the muggle prime minister , as well as the former ' s resignation as minister of magic , and rufus scrimgeour introducing himself to the latter . however , there is still a minor reference in the daily prophet at the beginning of the film that mentions there is a new minister for magic . the film instead begins with bellatrix ' s final line (\ni killed sirius black !\n) from the previous film echoing as harry is seen standing in front of a mob of reporters , with their cameras flashing , when dumbledore begins to lead harry away . the scene then cuts to the bridge attack .\nafter harry is told to take professor slughorn ' s potions class , he and ron immediately head there in the film . in the book , the potions class is later in the day , with harry , hermione , and ron doing other things , including a defence against the dark arts class , before heading to potions .\nthe duel is longer and more intense in the film . in the book , malfoy turns around and attacks , and harry almost immediately uses sectumsempra after the two of them cast about two spells each at each other . in the film , harry and malfoy shoot several spells at each other , hide behind stalls and shoot spells at each other underneath the stalls , run around the stalls while shooting spells at each other and finally harry uses sectumsempra on draco when he sees him standing on the other side of the bathroom , directly after coming out from under cover .\nabout the restoration the soundtrack of let there be light was restored by chace audio by deluxe . chace ' s services were donated through the nfpf grant program and awarded to the national archives and records administration in 2006 .\non january 2nd , 2009 , websites reported that the film had been rated\npg\nby the mpaa , for scary images , some violence , language and mild sensuality . this is the first and only time since the third film that a harry potter film has been rated pg , although in britain it is a 12a .\nbill weasley does not appear in the film , much less get bitten by fenrir greyback as he does in the book . however , in the next film , he is shown bearing scars from being attacked by greyback . this creates a plot hole in the next film since it is unknown where , how and when the scarring happened .\nin the 1980s , critics and academics were quick to condescend to what struck many as let there be light \u2019s sadly old - fashioned documentary form . but such critiques may have dated more rapidly than huston\u2019s film . in that decade , authenticity in documentary was still judged by resemblance to the gritty , handheld look of cinema v\u00e9rit\u00e9 . now that more elegant interview styles have returned to documentary\u2014most inventively those from errol morris\u2014huston\u2019s work can be judged by broader standards . the hollywood gloss of let there be light honors the service of psychologically wounded soldiers of world war ii by giving their life stories all the careful attention of a studio production . has a u . s . government film ever conveyed more emotion ? john huston\u2019s own verdict , looking back over his career , was that let there be light was \u201cthe most hopeful and optimistic and even joyous thing i ever had a hand in . \u201d \u2014scott simmon , uc davis\nfactory 25 and the production company kartemquin will premiere the film theatrically on december 4 in nyc and december 11 in la . the film will be available to stream on fandor starting december 5 , followed by a full vod release .\npansy parkinson sits beside blaise and across from draco in the film , rather than beside draco , stroking his hair . very little of her as well as her relationship with draco is seen in the film series as a whole .\nharry potter and the half -

[ 7 ] the film was chosen to be screened at the royal film performance on november 17 , 2008 , but due to the date of release being pushed back , it was not shown . on january 2 , 2009 , the film received a pg rating in the usa . on july 7 , 2009 , at the world film premiere of harry potter and the half - blood prince in london , the cast and crew all wore white ribbons in memory and tribute of 18 - year - old british actor and co - star robert knox . knox , who played marcus belby in the film , was stabbed to death on may 24 , 2008 .\nin the book horace slughorn was said to have a big silver moustache like a walrus and was supposed to be quite large , both are changed for the film . in the film , he does not have a moustache , and is only slightly chubby . additionally , slughorn is portrayed as a soft - spoken , senile man in the film .\nsince the slug club meets later in the film , harry goes right to spy on draco when leaving his compartment .\nin the 1950s , when he resembled a wannabe dave garroway or steve allen , anton ran the calumet region talent club , a showcase for local fledgling tap - dancers , fire - eaters , what have you . his dreams of show business glory never came true . at one point anton sings a bit of\ni ' m always chasing rainbows ,\na theme picked up by composer joshua abrams ' original score . by the end of\nalmost there ,\na kartemquin films project , the rainbows have changed but for anton , now in his mid - 80s , they ' ve become attainable .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news !

( the movie takes the value of outsider art as a given , which might be a stumbling block for viewers who don\u2019t . ) mr . rybicky and mr . wickenden find out this artist has a huge stash of wide - ranging material in a crumbling , hazardous house in east chicago , ind . for a while , the movie feels like an episode of \u201c hoarders \u201d inflected with a hipster aesthetic .\nopens : friday and continues through thurs . dec . 17 at gene siskel film center , 164 n . state st . ; urltoken .\noulsnam , alex ( 2007 - 11 - 22 ) .\npotter film role for ashley\n, kentish express , p . 22 .\nfor many , peter anton\u2019s house embodies an end - of - life nightmare : the utility companies long ago shut off the heat and electricity , the floorboards are rotting , and the detritus of a chaotic life is precariously stacked to the ceiling . but for the filmmakers dan rybicky and aaron wickenden , anton\u2019s home is a treasure trove , a startling collection of unseen and fascinating paintings , drawings , and notebooks , not to mention anton himself , a character worthy of his own reality tv show . though aging , infirm , cranky , and solitary , anton also is funny and utterly resilient . the film\u2019s remarkable journey follows a gifted artist through startling twists and turns . by its quietly satisfying ending , almost there has provided enough human drama for a season of soap operas , plus insights into mental illness , aging in america , and the redemptive power of art .\nin the film , harry , hermione , and ron are not seen back at the burrow after spying on draco . instead , they are next seen on the train , and it is here that they discuss what draco may have been doing at borkin and burkes in the film .\nwith the film\u2019s picture restoration , its visual qualities too are more evident . indeed , it is crafted and lit like a polished hollywood feature\u2014unsurprisingly , with stanley cortez as lead cinematographer , fresh from shooting evocatively dark domestic interiors for the magnificent ambersons and since you went away . although let there be light takes its title from the king james bible ( genesis 1 : 3 ) , that title also suggests the visual representation of the film\u2019s narrative arc : away from shadowy , noir - inflected shots of gangplanks and hospital corridors and toward sunlit baseball diamonds and grassy fields .\nharry potter and the half - blood prince won the 2007 urltoken award for film you\ncan ' t wait for .\n[ 83 ]\nfurthermore , the role of bellatrix lestrange has been greatly expanded in the film . in the book , she does not fight in the battle of the astronomy tower or witness dumbledore ' s death . upon witnessing it in the film , she reacts by destroying everything with sadistic glee and delight .\njohn huston\u2019s discussion of let there be light comes primarily from his autobiography , an open book ( new york : alfred a . knopf , 1980 ) , and interviews in gerald pratley\u2019s the cinema of john huston ( cranbury , n . j : a . s . barnes , 1977 ) .\nanton\u2019s tour of his decades of artwork inspires the documentarians to look into exhibiting several pieces at the intuit center . intuit specializes in \u201coutsider art ,\na sub - genre that focuses on art done by those outside the cultural mainstream . \u201c most of the people whose art we exhibit are dead , \u201d says cleo wilson , intuit\u2019s executive director . so she\u2019s excited to present a living artist like peter anton , who\u2019s still around to speak for his work . the exhibit will serve as the next chapter in the life of a man who once ran a talent group whose young entertainers put on over 1 , 000 shows over a 20 - year period . we meet several of these children in \u201calmost there ,\nsome of whom are in the paintings intuit exhibits .\nas the filmmakers work through their messy , messed - up place in the life story they ' re capturing , the film gathers a head of steam .\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 the film , harry is never mentioned to have inherited grimmauld place or kreacher after sirius black ' s death , as he did in the book .\nin the book , harry arrives at the burrow around 1 : 00 a . m . , after ron and hermione have gone to bed , and they don ' t see him until the next morning . in the film , it is unclear exactly when he arrives there ( although obviously before so late ) . while it is dark when harry arrives , ron , hermione , and ginny are all still awake and go to welcome harry when he enters the burrow .\nthough the inferi in the book climb out of the lake and attempt to drag harry back in with them , they actually pull him underwater in the film .\nin the novel , it says that a bright green light hit dumbledore ( avada kedavra ) , while in the film , its more of a cyan colour .\nthere is much less conversation between draco and snape . snape only mentions to draco that he has made an unbreakable vow , then draco emphasised that he doesn ' t need protection . harry eavesdrops on the conversation , like in the book , but rather than using his invisibility cloak , he just hides around a corner .\nin the film , at breakfast before the first quidditch match , luna lovegood , not hermione , notices harry faking to slip felix felicis into ron ' s drink .\nthe film omits the details that fenrir greyback is a werewolf , and also the part of lupin mentioning that greyback was the one who turned him into a werewolf .\nfor many , peter anton ' s house embodies an end - of - life nightmare : the utility companies long ago shut off the heat and electricity , the floorboards are rotting , and the detritus of a chaotic life is precariously stacked to the ceiling . but for the filmmakers , anton ' s home contains a startling collection of unseen and fascinating paintings , drawings and illustrated manuscripts ; not to mention anton himself , a funny and utterly resilient character . determined to form a coherent future out of a fractured past , they set out together to host an exhibition of the old artworks at america ' s leading\noutsider art\nmuseum . the film ' s self reflective odyssey follows a gifted artist over years of startling twists and turns that compel him to face a dark chapter from his past and the filmmakers to face their motivations . almost there is about what it means to grow old in america , how this process can be complicated by mental illness , and how the whole bizarre panoply of life can be redeemed by art .\nhowever , the goal of let there be light \u2014to educate viewers about psychological wounds\u2014failed with its initial audience : the army brass who watched it and then forbade its release . the film itself had tried to prevent such a response by including one doctor\u2019s warning to a group - therapy session : \u201cundoubtedly there will be people on the outside who won\u2019t have any understanding of the condition , who may think of it as being a rather shameful condition . that\u2019s why we\u2019re having an educational program , trying to educate the public into understanding . \u201d huston handcarried a print to washington in february 1946 and got the impression that release was greenlighted for later that month . but an army public relations group convinced the war department to issue an order in march 1946 restricting screenings to a handful of army hospitals and a few overseas military venues . as huston remembered ,\nwe hope you will enjoy the following film . please consider making a donation so that we can continue preserving films and presenting them on our web site . thank you !\nthe discussion between harry and hermione inside the hogwarts library is included . romilda vane was introduced but she does not speak . madam pince is not present in the film .\nharry , slughorn , and hagrid sing a song while drinking after mourning aragog . in the film , this scene is shortened , and only the final verse is heard .\nin the book , dumbledore drinks about three cups of the potion before falling prey to its effects . in the film , he starts reacting after his first drink . in the book , the potion eventually causes him to faint , but in the film , while suffering badly from the potion , he manages to remain concious the entire time .\nin the book , dumbledore is left in a considerably weakened state after drinking the potion , which continues up to his death . this is less evident in the film .\ndumbledore ' s speech in the book explicitly states that lord voldemort is once again at large , and advises everyone to be careful and report any suspicious acts . in the film , however , he is more subtle , explaining that there was once a boy who attended the school , appearing to be a student like any other . the name voldemort is not spoken , instead dumbledore says this boy was named tom riddle , but is currently known around the world by another name . he goes on to state that , while at any moment there are dark forces attempting to enter the castle ,\n. . . in the end , their greatest weapon is you . . .\ndumbledore says that is something to think about , and , as in the book , he concludes with a rather cheerful\nnow off to bed , pip pip !\nrybicky and wickenden travel to anton\u2019s home in east chicago , indiana to see more of his work . \u201c east chicago is the type of place you\u2019d drive pass , but never into , \u201d we\u2019re told . images of east chicago\u2019s poverty accompany this narration , but fail to prepare us for the state of anton\u2019s house . anton\u2019s rationale for staying is understandable despite the filmmakers\u2019 concern for his safety : he is very big on the notion of \u201chome\u201d , and this building has defined it for over 50 years . additionally , he has a small group of friends who look in on him , and they ' ve remained with him through extremely tough times . we meet some of these people as \u201calmost there\u201d progresses , and we also learn why they stay by anton\u2019s side despite his irascible , sometimes confrontational personality . we also gradually start to see parallels between the lives of the filmmakers and anton .\nmrs cole taking dumbledore into her room to talk about tom riddle is omitted . but the former and latter are seen walking up the stairs and on tom ' s floor where she tells dumbledore that in all the years tom was in the orphanage he never once had a family visitor and that there had been nasty incidents with the other children .\nin the film , the spell lumos maxima is shown again , this time as a glowing ball of light that could be thrown rather than a more powerful version of lumos .\nyates and heyman have noted that some of the events of harry potter and the deathly hallows may influence the script of the film , [ 12 ] and that there will not be as many memories in the film as in the book . yates noted :\nwe ' re making a decision right now to compress those a wee bit , but we ' ve still got some really cool ones .\n[ 13 ] . steve kloves , who wrote the first four films , returned for the sixth adaptation . [ 14 ] rowling has read kloves ' script and crossed out a passage in which dumbledore recalls a past female love , penning in the margin\ndumbledore is gay .\n[ 15 ]\nbefore david yates was officially chosen to direct the film , many others had been offered the job , and previous directors had expressed an interest in returning . alfonso cuar\u00f3n , the director of the third film , stated he\nwould love to have the opportunity\nto return . [ 8 ] goblet of fire director mike newell declined a spot to direct the fifth film , and was not approached for this one either . [ 9 ] terry gilliam was rowling ' s personal choice to direct philosopher ' s stone . however , when asked whether he would consider directing a later film , gilliam said ,\nwarner bros . had their chance the first time around , and they blew it .\n[ 10 ]\nyates has retained composer nicholas hooper , costume designer jany temime , visual effects supervisor tim burke , creature and make - up effects designer nick dudman , and special effects supervisor john richardson from the fifth film . [ 4 ] since february 2007 , stuart craig , the production designer of the first five films as well , has been designing sets , including the cave , and the astronomy tower , where the climax of the film takes place . [ 11 ] academy award nominated bruno delbonnel is the film ' s cinematographer . [ 4 ]\nneither harper nor malfoy are seen playing on slytherin ' s team in the film , though since only part of the match was shown , they could have simply been off camera .\nthe film doesn ' t show harry being admitted to the hospital wing , due to the absence of the quidditch match and mclaggen having knocked him off his broom with the bludger .\nin the film , draco shows dumbledore that he has been branded with the dark mark , whereas in the book this is only an assumption by harry , with no solid proof .\nthis is the only film in the series ( except deathly hallows part 2 ) that shows us events from the previous book ( the first scene at the ministry of magic ) .\nthere has been an additional scene in the film which has no book equivalent . the burrow is attacked by death eaters during the christmas holidays . bellatrix lestrange and fenrir greyback are the only death eaters shown . greyback flies and lands in a ball of flame and casts a ring of fire around the burrow ( possibly fiendfyre , as the flames are quite large and take the form of a serpent ) . lestrange lands in black smoke and taunts harry , chanting\ni killed sirius black ! i killed sirius black !\nharry takes off after her in rage . ginny takes off after him , trying to stop him . lupin , tonks , and arthur weasley follow them into the grassy marsh . while the five are lost in the field , looking for the death eaters , the death eaters take off and set the burrow aflame , burning it presumably to the ground , before leaving . there is no further mention in the film of how the home is restored or what happened to it afterwards . the burrow was supposed to be protected against the death eaters , and they simply set fire to it with no effort . by the time harry returns to it in the film adaptation harry potter and the deathly hallows : part 1 , the burrow had already been rebuilt .\nin the film , ron mutters hermione ' s name while unconscious at the hospital wing with harry , hermione , lavender , ginny , dumbledore , mcgonagall , pomfrey , slughorn , and snape present , and lavender runs off in tears . this is how ron and lavender break up in the film , and is the first time lavender ' s name is mentioned in full .\nin the book , snape reacts with livid emotion when harry calls him a coward . however in the film , although harry hurls this same insult at snape , he does not react .\nhelen mccrory who plays the role of narcissa malfoy in this film , was originally chosen to play bellatrix lestrange in the fifth film , harry potter and the order of the phoenix . but she had to back out of the role due to her sudden pregnancy , so she ended up getting this role instead , while helena bonham carter was cast as bellatrix in her place .\ncarroll , larry ( 2006 - 10 - 16 ) . terry gilliam on depp , ' potter ' and the film he panhandled to promote . mtv . retrieved on 2006 october 16 .\nin the book , harry , ron , and hermione are the only gryffindor students to take slughorn ' s n . e . w . t . potions class . in the film , many other students are present in slughorn ' s class as well , including dean thomas , seamus finnigan , neville longbottom , padma patil , lavender brown , romilda vane , and katie bell , despite romilda and katie not even being in the same year as harry and the others . in the film , crabbe and goyle are in the class as well , despite the book specifically stating that they were not . pansy parkinson also appears , although in the novel there was one unspecified slytherin student in the class with draco malfoy , blaise zabini , and theodore nott .\nthe slytherin end of the hogwarts express is split into two sides , not compartments as had been seen in previous films . it looks like booths with a table in between them . there is no door to close as had been in previous films . the compartments where harry , ron , and hermione sit are similar to what was in previous films , with the sliding doors .\nin the book , harry asks why they went to budleigh babberton , and dumbledore tells him that they are short on staff so they want to convince slughorn to return . in the film , harry does not ask , and when asked if he was curious as to why they went there , harry says that after all the years at hogwarts , he no longer bothers to question what they do anymore . dumbledore does not tell him anything about slughorn or them being short on staff , only telling him to draw his wand , and they proceed to enter the house .\nthe way harry is found is different in the film . in the book , tonks finds harry , stating that she did not see him leave the train and , knowing harry has his cloak , decided to double check the train . in the film , it is luna lovegood who finds harry with her spectrespecs , stating that she can see wrackspurts all over him .

gillespie deftly weaves together the facts of the film\u2019s production and reception to reveal how the establishment , simply because race was involved , sidelined through mislabeling a film that demanded to be seen as a work of art in its own right .\ngillespie : yes , lott\u2019s work is valuable but he ultimately does cap the possibilities . chameleon street taught me a lesson about black film historiography . i first saw it in 1990 at the national black arts festival in atlanta not long after its grand jury prize victory at the sundance film festival . there was a buzz surrounding the film programming that year , a palpable sense that work being screened was a showcase of what was literally an avant - garde , or advanced guard , of an upcoming crop of black films . of course that upcoming crop would be the \u201cblack film explosion\u201d of 1991 , the beginning of a \u201cnew black cinema . \u201d\nornadoes have scant respect for reputations . in steven quale ' s idiotic disaster movie , they come lolloping across the midwest , one after another , scattering meteorologists and meatheads , teenage sweethearts and documentary film - makers alike . the weather is flipping jumbo jets like ninepins , spinning school buses like tops . the one thing it can ' t ruffle , apparently , is richard armitage ' s foursquare teacher , who toils through the elements to save his son from a flooded industrial park . all around , meanwhile , the film ' s bullish special effects are wreaking havoc with the narrative .\nburns film center : polish film series sponsored by martin scorsese [ faculty mentor ] desc : arranged to take my fss 203 ( 16 students ) class ( fall 2014 ) to a special showing at the burns : the illumination ( 1972 ) on sept . 29 . planning started in august when i prepared syllabus for class .\nassembled in a minute and dismantled in even less time , this jumbo film changing tent is easily put away in its own bag . the tent and bag take up no room at all a very important consideration when you live in a motorhome . i no longer have to worry about putting my films into the developing tank or placing sheet film in cut film holders . i often use the tent in full sunlight without the least problem . and everyone knows how violent the australian sun can be ! the other advantage of the tent , and even more important , is the fact of having a mini environment devoid of dust : no more dust on the frames nor on my films . this could seem like a small detail but it has changed my life .\ntoday , the film is one of the most acclaimed animated movies of all time , often called the best in the medium . it is also known for being john lasseter ' s favorite movie , and it is among one of walt disney ' s favorites . it is also a favorite of film historian / critic leonard maltin .\ngillespie explicates his chosen case studies through key themes that apply , in varying degrees , to each chapter : the possibilities of black film as speculative and ambivalent ; the transformation of race onscreen ( but not only onscreen ) from constitutive and cultural fiction to social fact ; and the need for spectators to perform for themselves the active labors of decoding the overdetermined visual signs of film blackness . finally , and perhaps most importantly , he asks his readers to consider , \u201cwhat if black film is art and not the visual transcription of the black lifeworld ? \u201d ( 157 ) . gillespie rightly demands that black film be considered as both art and discourse ( 14 ) .\nin the end , it was when i read mikhail bakhtin that i really began to write all this out . i\u2019ve always believed in the film beyond the respectability promise of positive and negative images . the film\u2019s deadly in its cheekiness . it baits you to revile it . but i believe that the real affective force of the film lies in its function as a visual historiography of american popular culture with an attention to the visualizing mechanisms of antiblackness and white pleasure . it can never be unwatched .\n' bahubali 2 ' crossed the 800 crore mark on thursday , 6 may , even as the film had varying total estimates , according to local box office trackers .\nthis film shares some plot elements with godzilla : the series , an animated series produced as a sequel to the 1998 film . these similarities include godzilla ' s lone offspring imprinting on nick and defending humanity from other monsters , as well as the presence of monster island , a location carried over from the late showa series godzilla films .\nchapter 2 on chameleon street ( wendell b . harris , jr . , 1989 ) is exceptional in its blend of american film cultural and industrial critique , as gillespie works to demonstrate the limits to phenotyping film blackness . chameleon street is a social satire based on the story of the real - life character william douglass street , who impersonated everyone from athletes to doctors to lawyers to journalists , charming and conning hundreds while also making a living\u2014and upending some lives in the process . the film\u2019s grand jury prize at sundance in 1990 marked the dawn of the \u201cnew black cinema , \u201d but it seems to be one of the few films of this era that , despite festival success , did not fair as well with critics or audiences who were evidently not ready for the film\u2019s implicit critique of what gillespie calls the \u201c black of black film\u201d ( 73 ) .\ntoday , jumbo is counted among the great circus films such as the greatest show on earth , trapeze , carnival story and circus world . charles walters directed the picture with joe pasternak and martin melcher producing . doris day was nominated as \u201cbest actress in a musical or comedy\u201d at the hollywood foreign press awards but lost to rosalind russell for gypsy . she did , however , walk away with the evening\u2019s coveted world\u2019s most popular film actress accolade again .\njumbo , who is currently starring in common at the national theatre , said the last television job she had before she went to america was itv detective show vera , which she \u201cloved\u201d , but in all the seasons she had been the only person of colour on the set .\nstory : jumbo , the king\u2019s warrior elephant , wants to take it easy after the recently won war . but little does he know it\u2019s only the battle that\u2019s won . . . not the war . movie review : jumbo is back . unfortunately not with a bang . after having lost his father . . . and his mother . . . after waging an epic war against his arch enemy bhaktavar ( remember the prequel ? ) , this warrior elephant is all out to enjoy the little pleasures of life . tweens , watch him with his little antics . but then life in the jungle ( and destiny ) has something else in store for him . sometimes it\u2019s fighting little battles \u2014 there are some action scenes and dhamaka here too \u2014 and sometimes it\u2019s about taking bigger risks . what\u2019s that ? a life - changing decision that could mean do or die for the elephant family . what does jumbo choose ? before you guess that you wonder why the animation in this sequel is not an inch smarter . as for the voice over of jumbo ( akshay kumar ) and his mommy ( dimple kapadia ) something seems to be amiss .\nshe continued : \u201cif there was work here , i would be working here . i would like nothing more than to be working in film and on television in this country .\na british actress who stars in hit us tv show the good wife has criticised the uk ' s film and tv industry for ' pulling the plug ' on black actors .\nit was the first walt disney animated feature to be set in america , and the first movie for sterling holloway ( the stork ) and verna felton ( the elephant matriarch / mrs . jumbo ) . both would become regulars in disney animated films for the next thirty - five years .\none of the things that those critical of casablanca cite as evidence for their position is the \u201cschlocky romanticism\u201d ( to quote pauline kael ) that permeates the film . and yes , despite its war - torn setting and the intrigue surrounding the plot , it is most decidedly a romance , first and foremost . but the film transcends the typical trappings of romance .\nin this well - paced film , waggoner does an admirable job of allowing his subjects to tell their stories and explain their positions , without much filmmaker editorializing . oberti oberto , an italian architect , has , for the last 24 years , pursued his dream of building what he calls the \u201c jumbo glacier resort \u201d in the valley . oberto argues that his development will create jobs and that it will become the vehicle through which the masses can access this pristine wilderness .\nthe film takes place in a circus setting in florida , possibly in present - day 1941 , and starts with a formation of storks delivering newborn babies to various circus animals . mrs . jumbo ' s baby is delivered to her belatedly by an exhausted stork , and the baby elephant is well received by the other elephants - until the size of his ears are revealed after he sneezes . the elephant , nicknamed\ndumbo\nis teased by the sarcastic female elephants . the mother ignores them , however , until mrs . jumbo is imprisoned as a\nmad elephant\nafter trying to defend her son from a crowd of antagonizing boys . a mouse named timothy befriends dumbo , and crafts a plan to make the sorrowful little elephant a star in the circus .\nthis dreadfully boring film ends with the hope of a sequel . it ' s time to introduce the makers to john lennon .

off the good fight , spoke at an evidence session for the labour party\u2019s inquiry into diversity in the arts about the failures of broadcasters to recognise the value of black and working class actors .\nnoble ( dean jaggar ) is successful in his efforts and the wonder circus is shut down with all of its assets , including it\u2019s star attraction , the incredible elephant , jumbo , confiscated . heartbroken and defeated , kitty , her father and his fianc\u00e9e , lulu , decide to rebuild the business from the ground level starting with two sticks and a blanket which is equivalent to dancing for pennies on a street corner . they receive an unexpected visit from sam who miraculously produces jumbo and together , the four performers , with renewed confidence and ambition , roll up their sleeves and embark on a new journey .\ndumbo won the 1941 academy award for original music score , awarded to musical directors frank churchill & oliver wallace . churchill and lyricist ned washington were nominated for the 1941 academy award for best song for baby mine , the song that plays during dumbo ' s visit to his mother ' s cell . the film also won best animation design at the 1947 cannes film festival .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star -

goers . the proof of this is box office collections showing the evil clown pennywise in the film it is not the only one to make the audience sit at the edge of their seats .\nironically yet effectively , in chapter 3 , \u201cvoices inside ( everything is everything ) , \u201d gillespie advances his argument for a bodiless film blackness through an in - depth examination of classical noir , the genre that he notes is best characterized by \u201cits consistency as a racialized mode of white masculinities in crisis\u201d ( 84 ) . let\u2019s face it , every ethnicity , gender , and race is a foil to white male hetero - normative narrative authority in classic noir . and yet , gillespie is able to upend the pessimism , fatalism , and deviance inherent in the genre when he posits the noir film deep cover against what he calls the incomplete thesis of james naremore\u2019s seminal study of film noir , more than night , which \u201cneglects that the history of the idea [ of noir ] is very much about the crossing of manufactured borders , gender trouble , and racial ambiguity\u201d ( 86 ) . for gillespie , deep cover , like chameleon street , provides a different conceptual frame through which to think through the potentialities of black film and film blackness , as well as blackness and film . he questions repeatedly whether the medium of film should even be considered a window or mirror to blackness , while recognizing that the noir vernacular to which deep cover gives voice exists alongside the power and privilege of classical noir that sees only black , never blackness .\ndirector vikram bhatt , who has made films like raaz , 1920 and haunted - 3d , in an interview had suggested to those trying their hand at horror films that these movies should be\nhigh on the believable factor\nminus the\nmumbo jumbo\nto boost the growth of this genre in india .\nalthough plans for godzilla 2 had been abandoned back in 1999 while sony ' s rights to the franchise expired in 2003 , it had become rumored as late as 2007 that sony was resuming work on a sequel to 1998 ' s godzilla . this speculation stemmed in part from stock footage of godzilla from the 1998 film appearing in a then - recent doritos commercial as well as multiple fan - made trailers for a godzilla 2 appearing online . in 2007 , the german film website cinetech even reported that sony was planning to release a sequel to the 1998 film in summer 2009 . sony eventually confirmed that it no longer held the rights to produce a godzilla film , and that it had no plans to reacquire the rights to the franchise from toho in the conceivable future . [ 1 ]\nappearing at a screening of the film in london this weekend , jones made it clear that a second warcraft film would follow up on the breadcrumbs laid down by the first one , following the life of orc moses - figure thrall , who\u2019s raised as a slave by humans despite his orcish heritage . \u201cso to me the idea over the course of three films would be for thrall to fulfill that vision of durotan to create a new homeland for the orcs , \u201d jones said , referencing one of the protagonists of the first film . \u201cso in [ the sequel ] it would be the adolescent years of that baby , and anyone who does know their warcraft stories would know it\u2019s very much a spartacus story that goes on with that character . \u201d he also added that \u201cfamily\u201d is the would - be trilogy\u2019s most important factor , and admitted that \u201cthe rest of it is mumbo jumbo names and shit . \u201d\nfilm trade analysts are saying that the revival of the horror genre could be attributed to well - made hollywood horror films . another reason could be due to lack of quality content from bollywood movies .\ninasmuch as the spectacular richard rodgers and lorenz hart broadway musical jumbo was written in 1935 , this 1962 film version can ' t help but seem a little quaint . still , the film features the original production ' s star jimmy durante , energetically recreating his stage role as circus owner pop wonder ; it is durante ' s bravura performance that saves the film from dullness . threatened with foreclosure , pop wonder and his pretty daughter kitty ( doris day ) put their fates in the hands of go - getter sam rawlins ( stephen boyd ) . what they don ' t know is that sam is the son of pop ' s biggest rival ( dean jagger ) , and he ' s been sent to undermine the wonder circus . it goes without saying that sam turns the tables on his dad , thereby saving the day and winning kitty ' s hand . martha raye shows up as lulu , a fortune teller who can ' t figure out what ' s going to happen next ( funny , we can ) . and of course there ' s jumbo the elephant , who figures into the film ' s funniest scene ( as well as one of jimmy durante ' s most celebrated punchlines ) . old mgm musical hands charles walters and busby berkeley share directing chores , but somehow the film hasn ' t the panache of their earlier work . happily , most of the rodgers - hart songs are retained , including\nmy romance\nand\nthe most beautiful girl in the world\n- not to mention a few rodgers - hart tunes borrowed from other show , e . g .\nthis can ' t be love\n. ~ hal erickson , rovi\nmumbai , oct 21 : the bollywood \u2018kinng\u2019 akshay kumar is overwhelming his producers with his ever - so - mounting prices . the actor who has recently undertaken a project of percept pictures , an animation flick \u2018jumbo\u2019 has charged the producers a whopping sum of rs 9 crores . looks like akki is headed for the lion\u2019s share this time !\ndumbo was completed and delivered to disney ' s distributor , rko radio pictures , in fall 1941 . rko balked at the fact that the film only ran 64 minutes , and demanded that walt disney either :\nafter its october 31 release , dumbo proved to be a financial success . the simple film only cost $ 813 , 000 to produce , half the cost of snow white and less than a third of the cost of pinocchio . dumbo eventually grossed $ 1 . 3 million during its original release ; it and snow white were the only two pre - 1943 disney features to turn a profit ( barrier , 318 ) . the united states entered world war ii in december 1941 , reducing the box office draw of the film , which was nevertheless the most financially successful disney film of the 1940s , thanks to a 1949 rerelease .\nsony originally wanted to produce a trilogy of films when they acquired the rights to the godzilla franchise in 1992 . after a failed attempt at making a godzilla film in 1994 , tristar pictures brought in the independence day team of roland emmerich as a director and dean devlin as a producer , who wrote the script of what ended up being the 1998 film godzilla , and were still intending on making it into a trilogy .\naccording to great india films , the us distributor of\nbahubali 2\n, the film minted $ 12 . 6 million as of wednesday , officially surpassing life - time earnings of $ 12 . 3 million of ' dangal ' . producer karan johar made the news official when he took to twitter to announce that ' bahubali : the conclusion ' has become the first indian film to gross rs 1 , 000 crore internationally .\njimmy durante was born james francis durante on 10 february 1893 in new york . his first wife jeanne died in 1943 . rather like his pop wonder role in \u201cjumbo\u201d he married his second wife , marjorie little after a 16 - year courtship when she was 39 and he was 67 . he died in january 1980 in santa monica , california .\nthe slump that is felt in the indian film industry is also being felt in hollywood as north american ticket sales are down by 6 percent this year so far as compared to last year , as per box office mojo .\ngrant cramer , who was 27 years old in 1988 , will be returning as the original film ' s protagonist mike tobacco in the film and will be 51 years old when he enters the production phase of the film . grant cramer claims that he is not the main character again , instead there will be 2 new younger leads , who are circus performers who are stranded in the mountain town of kismet the new klowns invade when their car breaks down who mike tobacco will teach through his experience with the 1988 killer klowns massacre . these 2 new young leads will have to save the world from the returning killer klowns while they are being blamed for what is happening .\nthe film ' s simplicity and charm have made it the favorite disney film of many people , including film and animation historian leonard maltin . of particular note is the pink elephants on parade sequence , which depicts dumbo and timothy ' s drunken hallucinations . the sequence was the first venture into surrealism for a narrative disney film , taking its cue from the experimental fantasia . the sequence essentially breaks all of the\nrules\nthat the disney animators had lived by for creating realistic animation over the previous decade : pink , polka - dot , and plaid elephants dance , sing , and morph into an number of various objects . the design of the sequence is highly stylized , and many of the artists who worked on it were the younger artists at the studio who joined the picket line in may 1941 and eventually would become the nucleus of united productions of america , the most influential animation studio of the 1950s .\nthe book is about being discursively minded in engaging the idea of black film . the book accounts for some of my ambivalences , pleasures , and politics about black cinephilia as film blackness became the term that best represented how i wanted to think and write about the idea of black film . the first step was grounding the project in a suspension of any insistence on social fact or truth or identitarian claims about cinema . i don\u2019t care for thinking about cinema and spectatorship in the teachable - moment terms of holding hands with strangers in the dark while humming \u201ckumbaya . \u201d i want to be disrupted , challenged , and engaged . i particularly don\u2019t want to be patronized by how a film can be said to embody the black lifeworld . besides , if i had to choose an art to do that kind of impossible wish - fulfillment work of embodying or \u201ctruly\u201d reflecting black folks , it sure as hell wouldn\u2019t be cinema ."]}

hander , or , if you wanted a grand love story with a chorus , captain corelli ' s mandolin might do the trick . but , if there ' s one film director whose work defies the lyric stage point - blank , it must surely be david lynch . there seems to be no purchase in his world of cold uncanny menace and weird obsessions for the warmth of the singing voice .\nspecial\nis one way of describing it - obscure and confusing might be another . even lynch ' s greatest fans have some trouble understanding its labyrinthine complexities . the film ' s first half is set in the strangely claustrophobic confines of an apartment , home to jazz musician fred madison and his wife ren\u00e9e . their passionless life is invaded by a sinister presence that delivers , unseen , intimate videos of their life to the couple ' s front door .\none of these shows the increasingly jealous fred murdering ren\u00e9e . but did he do it , or did he fantasise about doing it ? and , when fred mysteriously vanishes from the prison cell on death row , is the young garage - hand pete who appears in his place a genuine double , or merely fred ' s fantasy of the young virile man he ' d like to be ?\nthese ambiguities are precisely what fascinated neuwirth . if any composer could possibly create a music - theatre version of lynch ' s world , it would be this tiny , delicate but frighteningly intense austrian composer .\nneuwirth is one of a new generation of talented austrian composers who seem determined to bury the idea of viennese music as nostalgic and ironic . her pieces are not musical statements in the normal sense . they ' re more like vast bottomless soundscapes that summon up the unease and disorientation of modern life with uncomfortable vividness .\nso it ' s not surprising that lynch ' s film seemed a gift .\ni love the way it plays with time ,\nshe says ,\nand the way you cannot tell what is reality and what is fantasy . this fits in with my view of music - theatre , because i don ' t want to represent things in a naturalistic way . i wanted to create an endless loop of time , with little phrases that recur again and again .\nwhat did lynch himself think of her idea ?\noh , he was so supportive to me , and he ' s so open to all kinds of music .\nwhat neuwirth came up with is a vast soundscape in which the sound of 26 players and 11 singers and singing actors is mingled with video images and a synthesized soundtrack . snatches of kurt weill and magic moments and monteverdi add a further strangeness to the mix .\ni wanted to blur the boundaries , so that you don ' t know which sounds are real and which are coming from the speakers all round the auditorium ,\nsays neuwirth .\nit creates the effect of immersion in a kind of aural phantasmagoria .\ndiane paulus , the new - york based director of this production , admits the task of finding a theatrical analogue for lynch ' s quintessentially cinematic vision has been a challenge .\ni knew i had to do something different ,\nshe says ,\nand i knew we couldn ' t recreate all these different locations . so what i ' ve created with the designer philip bussmann is an installation , something that can transform into many different spaces by stimulating the audience ' s own powers of visualisation . that ' s the whole beauty of theatre : you have this live situation where the audience completes the work .\nthese screens might show an action in close - up ,\nsays bussmann ,\nor they can be pete ' s garage , or the apartment . so , in effect , the audience can make their own cut or edit by going from the screen to the live action .\nthe result will certainly be powerfully discomforting and disorientating . but why should we want to submit to something that ' s apparently so negative ?\nfor neuwirth , the bleakness of the work is a testament to its truth .\nit ' s about the tragic way our individual personalities can be destroyed by our own past . when fred is on death row he wants to forget , and for a moment he thinks he ' s escaped . but in the end his obsessions drown out reality . i think this is becoming a bigger and bigger danger for us as our lives become more complicated .\npaulus takes a more hopeful view .\ni don ' t feel that the energy of the piece is negative . in fact , it feels very compassionate . we can connect with fred , because his plight could happen to any of us . and isn ' t that why we come to the theatre , to experience some kind of catharsis or illumination ?\nin pictures - the story of love and romance : from adam and eve to tinder and chemsex . compiled by martin chilton\nin fact , neuwirth ' s text sticks closely to the original screenplay , making just a couple of significant alterations , and delivers most of it as speech : there is no singing at all in the first third of the 90 - minute piece . the baffling tale , involving what is known psychologically as psychogenic or dissociative fugue , unfolds as a sequence of disconnected scenes . jazz musician fred madison is sentenced to death for the murder of his wife , and while on death row he is transformed into garage mechanic pete dayton , who has his own problems with the underworld . whether the two men are one and the same , or just unwittingly connected , is never made clear .\nthe score involves live digital transformations for the ensemble and voices ; the resulting sounds are projected around the auditorium . it includes quotations - from kurt weill and a monteverdi madrigal - but otherwise the fine detail gets homogenised by the electronics , an aural emulsion that is generally just a neutral background to the speech and song .\neno ' s production is highly accomplished . the cast are outstanding , with mark bonnar as fred , quirijn de lang as his alter ego pete , the remarkable vocal gymnast david moss as the gangster mr eddy , countertenor christopher robson as the thuggish enforcer known as the mystery man , and val\u00e9rie maccarthy as renee and alice , the girlfriends of fred and pete respectively .\nif lynch ' s compelling storytelling survives its transformation , it is debatable whether that is because of neuwirth ' s score or in spite of it . but the show is worth seeing : this is contemporary european music theatre of a kind rarely staged in britain . for that , at least , eno ' s enterprise is very welcome .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved ."]}
