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 -

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 ?

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 . ( back )\non december 16 , 1995 at 11 : 57 am , suerd made a confused and shocked pay phone call to 911 about his missing team members ( he said that he had\na really bad feeling about it\n) . the mutilated bodies of two of them ( wheeler and clackin ) were found in the new jersey pine lands , with blood in the snow and the hat of the third individual ( avkast ) . leigh covered the subsequent investigation and trial of suerd beginning in june of 1996 . suerd was accused , charged and tried as a major suspect ( there was blood evidence from all three on his shirt ) . suerd was found guilty ( in mid - july 1996 ) of two counts of first - degree murder , and sentenced to two consecutive life terms . then , in early january 1997 , suerd died in prison of questionable causes .\nthe name of the character played by ren\u00e9e zellweger ,\nelizabeth loftus\nis a reference to the distinguished psychologist of the same name , noted for her studies in clinically created false memories .\nthis\ncited by\ncount includes citations to the following articles in scholar . the ones marked\nflaherty ' s documentary on the struggle for survival of one inuit family opens with a series of intertitles that introduce the\nbarren lands\nand\nsterile\nenvironment of northern canada . against this harsh background , nanook of the north celebrates the nobility of the inuit . as arthur calder -

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 ]"]}

com ( which also happens to be one of my all - time favourites ) , in the smallest ways like the different gangs and high school love . despite\u2026\nwaaaa . . . the cast alone enough to make me watch this movie . . . first lee bo young i saw in werewolf boy n speedy scandal , then kim young kwang in runway cop then lee se young recently in lovely rival + lee jong suk in i can hear your voice . . . daebaaak . . i can ' t wait to watch this movie\nin the classroom , young - sook confronts so - hee on the pack of cigarettes she found in one of so - hee\u2019s pouches . the fact that she smokes even though she has asthma makes young - sook laugh in disbelief . annoyed and angry , so - hee invites young - sook for a talk so they head to the girl\u2019s restroom ( ooh . stuff is gonna go down ) . while so - hee\u2019s all by herself , young - sook\u2019s group of friends ends up following them ( lol ) , but young - sook makes them leave , reassuring them that she can handle so - hee all by herself .\nso i promised one of my readers that i would do a recap on \u2018hot young bloods\u2019 or \u2018hot boiling youth\u2019 starring park bo young and lee jong suk a few months back once i got the time to do it and since i\u2019m on summer vacation and i\u2019m not doing much right now , i thought i would stop being lazy and stop procrastinating and actually fulfill my promise . i had done a review of my thoughts and opinion on this movie , so if you would like you can go read that before reading this recap . i can\u2019t promise you that i understand the movie wholeheartedly because there are still things i\u2019m confused about myself , but i\u2019ll try my best to make this recap fun and understanding . it\u2019s my second time watching this movie , so hopefully i\u2019ll get a better understanding of it though . also , i hope you guys don\u2019t mind if this recap is uninteresting and disorganized . this movie isn\u2019t the most interesting and addicting movie ever , but i wanted to finish it for you guys who have been wanting one so yeah . thank you ~ ~ ~\n2009 ) and the main cast , park bo - young and lee jong - suk in attendance on december 30th , 2013 .\ni can ' t waiiiitttt . . . . . . . . . . . . . bo young & jong suk \u2665\u2665\u2665\ntis true . . there are way too many dramas to watch and review . . i\u2019m even toying with the idea of not reviewing some dramas to make more time for watching drama . and this is why i keep movies for zone - out days , coz i know i\u2019m not planning to review them anyway , so it really doesn\u2019t matter if my brain\u2019s not all switched on . hot young bloods took me by surprise though . i had so many thoughts after the movie that a review really seemed the only way to get them all out ! xd i think that\u2019s possibly similar to what happened with you when you watched the suspect ! many thoughts together = review in the making !\nmr . sloan joined the bloods when he was 12 , but now considers involvement in gangs \u201cself - genocide . \u201d his film , which he produced with antoine fuqua , the director of \u201ctraining day , \u201d sustains the courage of this indictment . it has its premiere tonight on hbo .\nthe two men eventually float to the shore passed out , but choong - gil wakes up first to go search for young - sook . he walks back to the town to look for young - sook while crying hysterically , but it\u2019s too late for she had already left to seoul . he suffers a mental breakdown upon learning this and continue to bawl at the disappearance of young - sook .\ni really love the movie ! especially the song at the ending hahaha . you guys should watch so young 2 : never gone too\ncan ' t wait for this movie . . . . . . . . . . bo young and lee jong suk . omg\neven though it wasn\u2019t always clear to us as an audience , i love that young sook cared for joong gil through it all .\ntellingly , even though young sook is portrayed as a big gang leader and everything , we don\u2019t actually see her stirring up trouble .\nwhile some viewers might find it cliched that joong gil and young sook only get their happy ending after a time skip , i actually found it a more believable writing choice , than if joong gil had upped and gone to seoul to find young sook right away .\nmeanwhile , gwang - sik and young - sook are hanging out with each other at a bonfire . gwang - sik pushes forth the idea that maybe he and young - sook can start making some progress in their friendship , but she doesn\u2019t seem to like it . he assumes it\u2019s because of another guy who he is willing to hurt so that young - sook will only be his . possessive much ?\ni was expecting kim young kwang to have a more significant role in this movie , but unfortunately he was greatly overshadowed by the two leads , lee jong seok and park bo young . lee jong seok ' s bumbling lover boy character did deliver some laughs , especially when faced with kim young kwang ' s gangster character . but the standout was park bo young - don ' t be fooled by her baby face , she can strike fear in the heart of any man with her punches and vulgarities . quite a transformation from her previous roles .\nrunning turtle director lee yeon - woo is at the helm of a new film which began production earlier this month . blood boiling youth ( literal title ) is a romantic comedy pairing two of korea\u2019s most popular young stars , park bo - young and lee jong - suk .\nbo young is fine . the one that captures my attention is lee jong suk . he was so natural from head to toe : d\nlater on that evening , young - sook ends up joining choong - gil instead of so - hee , causing choong - gil to of course be disappointed . when he reveals that he likes so - hee because she\u2019s beautiful ( implying that he thinks young - sook isn\u2019t ) , she leaves choong - gil at the hotel mad and furious . ( don\u2019t worry young - sook , you\u2019re beautiful to me ! ) .\nthe next day at school , choong - gil\u2019s friend hwang - kyu ( played by park jung min ) is forced to share with young - sook what type of things choong - gil likes and has interest in . she ends up getting choong - gil a pair of new sneakers which he doesn\u2019t approve of and want . when choong - gil confronts young - sook about the shoes , he pretends to act like he doesn\u2019t want it , but when young - sook threatens to take it back , he makes up an excuse to young - sook so that he can keep it . haha . and young - sook knows that choong - gil likes her gift , smirking after he leaves the classroom . hehe .\nthis film is so exciting and i love park bo young and also lee jong suk . . love it to the maxxx . daebakkk ! !\ngang , views young sook as his woman . a new female transfer student from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong gil falls for her instantly , while young sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong gil as gwang shik becomes aware of young sook stepping in between joong gil and the new transfer student .\ngwang - sik ends up fighting choong - gil\u2019s classmate once the train lands as they are known for being enemies . when the fight ends , choong - gil is about to leave but turns around to find young - sook behind him . he explains to young - sook that he didn\u2019t meet her the night before because he doesn\u2019t have any interest in her like that and because he fears gwang - sik who claims young - sook as his . \u201cthis thing between us is not love . it\u2019s a threat , \u201c choong - gil voices , offending young - sook who clenches her fists .\nactor lee jong - suk and actress park bo - young will be acting together in the film\nboiling youth ,\nlotte entertainment said tuesday .\na new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .\nthis is gonna be fuunnnn ! ! ! so excited for this movie . . . park bo young , fighting ! ! ! ! ! ^ ^\na new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .\nyou don\u2019t hear this from mr . sloan , who talks more about his banger brother , who went to prison for life , and died young .\nwhen you\u2019re young and discovering the opposite sex , you tend to fixate on . . things , and also tend to be inordinately amused by those things .\nin fact , that whole fight that she had with so hee was something that so hee started . young sook had merely acted in self - defense .\nyoung sook tries to go between them . but than gwang - sik becomes aware that\nhis woman\nis interested in joong - gil . . .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school\u2019s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook\u2019s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joo . . .\nhey there jedd ! i am not entirely sure , but i suspect that the girl at the factory was so hee , played by lee se young . \ud83d\ude42\nwe then find young - sook approaching another group of girls from another school as if they\u2019re going to get ready to beat one another up anytime soon . the leaders of each group come to the front of their own groups to confront each other and so you have young - sook marching towards the front and the leader from the other group standing in the front as well . soon they\u2019re face to face with each other but are distracted by the bicycle couple who are still riding away on the bicycle . annoyed , young - sook criticizes the male student\u2019s face which angers the leader from the other group who then throws a punch at young - sook\u2019s face as a consequence for her harsh comment . but young - sook isn\u2019t the leader of her crew for nothing for she attacks the girl back and knocks her out cold just like that ( there goes my park bo young ! keke ) . the two groups end up fighting one another and war breaks out .\nmr . sloan begins with a myth : that gangs like the bloods and the crips started in 1972 , when they formed in response to a dispute over a leather jacket . that\u2019s rubbish . the film shows that gang animosity in los angeles dates to the 1940s and \u201950s , when the police had set up an extortion racket on central avenue to bilk the black music clubs .\nyoung - sook escapes to her village and recalls memories of the past between her and choong - gil . they were childhood friends and classmates when they were younger so that\u2019s how they know each other . young - sook remembers the one time when choong - gil gave her his compass so that she wouldn\u2019t get in trouble for not having hers . he ends up getting in trouble for not having his compass later on at school that day , but he remains strong and reassures young - sook that he is fine .\ni absolutely love this movie and the fights were very good ! also jun soo jin looked super sexy and looked like a real bad girl i would love to see her in action movies . * spoiler * i loved the fact that joong gil ( lee jong suk ) could never really stand up to gwang sik ( young - kwang ) even when he wanted to fight him because of so hee ( se - young ) he tried but was still a wimp about it and did nothing but when it came to young sook ( park bo young ) he was able to actually fight without fear . i think that part is very meaningful because it showed how much she really meant to him .\na radio dj / entertainer in his 30s suddenly learns he may be a grandfather , thanks to a young girl who has a baby son and claims to be his daughter .\nall the students exiting off the train walks past the three friends , including the girl teacher that choong - gil landed on as well as young - sook and her sidekick .\nboth joong gil and young sook needed to sort out their inner turmoil and figure out who they were as people , before they were ready to come together as a couple .\neven when joong gil was chasing every other girl around , i believe that young sook knew \u2013 or at least , wanted to believe \u2013 that he was made of better stuff .\nthanks azure , i\u2019m glad you enjoyed the movie , and this review ! \ud83d\ude42 i really enjoy lee jong suk and park bo young as well . they\u2019re both such talented actors .\n\u201caegyo is how i live this world , \u201d he continued with his killing smile , making the audience laugh . \u201cmaybe it\u2019s because i started my model career when i was young . \u201d\noh . em . gee . . . . this movie was daebak hilarious ! . . . . seriously . . . and the music was just divine . . . ljs , what a talent . . . . he was exceptionally funny , boom ! ! . . . i watched this today ( hot young bloods ) because of my new found admiration for kyk , whom i thought did well here too , lovin the sleek - oily - hair - look . . . ( the flares , omg the flared pants . . . waaat ! ) . i have always been enthralled by ljs in many of his roles , hes just super cute and a great actor . cant believe this was done 3years ago . . . such amazing talents and look where they are now . . . congratulations guys , you all did well and i look forward to seeing so much more , kahmsamnida . . . actually this movie is one of my favorites now too , amazing absolutely , thank you so much , fighting ! ! !\nso - hee confirms with choong - gil whether what she heard about young - sook liking choong - gil is true or not to which he responds , \u201cdon\u2019t say something so scary like that . \u201d lol . he adds that someone just made it up and that it holds no truth . ugh , really choong - gil ? ! you\u2019re just going to ignore young - sook like that ? tsk tsk tsk . meanwhile , young - sook finally lets her feelings out as she cries over the sight of choong - gil and so - hee together back at the restaurant .\nbefore the time skip , joong gil is a big hot mess of a character , with a lot of baggage to sort through . after the time skip , when we come back to him , he\u2019s clearly a more settled , mature version of himself . there\u2019s groundedness and resolve in his eyes . he has set his heart on what he wants to do , and it\u2019s gratifying to see him go for it .\nthe movie begins by following two high students riding on a bicycle . they continue to ride through the fields with the male student continually looking back at the female student in concern , but smiling when he finds her happy and content . the ride comes to an abrupt stop though when the couple notices young - sook ( park bo young ) , the bad - ass and frightening leader that harbors a crush on our male student . young - sook also notices the couple and grows annoyed at the sight of her crush with another woman , but she goes on to mind her own business .\neveryone is surprised and taken aback , but the one person that is probably the most infuriated at this point is young - sook who watches all of this unfold right in front of her eyes .\nafter eating at the hotel with her friends , young - sook returns home only to find visitors / customers there ( she sleeps at her restaurant ) . she waits for a while until they leave and then enters her house . young - sook cooks a small meal for a frequent customer even though it\u2019s late at night without saying a single word to him then leaves afterwards to enter her bedroom .\nif you would like to read my other thoughts on this movie , i wrote a \u2018what mary thinks\u2019 edition on this movie a few months ago so you can read that here . but all in all , although \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 did provide me with laughter , smiles , and tears , i honestly admit that i wouldn\u2019t want to watch it a third time around . i think watching it two times is good enough for me .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school\u2019s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook\u2019s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee\u2019s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nthe actress park plays \u2018young - sook ' , the school ' s top girl gangster , and the actor lee plays \u2018joong - gil ' , the school ' s legendary casanova at hongseong agricultural high school .\nin her bedroom , young - sook studies a small but cherished geometry compass that she\u2019s kept to this day . she caresses it while she holds it , reminded of all the memories that the compass encompasses .\nmr . sloan now says this was a \u201cghetto folktale , \u201d but it fractured the movement . the crips and the bloods , the gangs that formed in the 1970s , are seen by mr . sloan as the bastard children of the political organizations of the \u201960s . \u201cout of the ashes of the black panther party came the gangs , \u201d he says . the crips had a sketchy plan for social reform and inventive forms of pageantry ; they also had a constitution .\ni\u2019m not sure how others feel about our second leads , but i really disliked them . so - hee was pretty two - faced which was evident in the bathroom scene where she was fighting young - sook . young - sook didn\u2019t strip so - hee\u2019s clothes off ; so - hee took off her own clothes so that she could prepare to fight young - sook . then when choong - gil came inside the restroom , so - hee pretended to act like she was all innocent and faultless and like she was getting beatened up by young - sook when she herself was the person who initiated the fight . like seriously ? ! i mean young - sook isn\u2019t all that good either , but at least she doesn\u2019t pretend to act all cute and innocent and stays tough and bossy throughout the whole movie , displaying a consistent image and role . as for gwang - sik , he was just waaayyyy too obsessive over young - sook and way too possessive . it\u2019s funny how he didn\u2019t realize that young - sook never liked him until the end of the movie . he was too blind and delusional to realize that young - sook never cared for him . and plus , the majority of the scenes that we saw him in was of him either fighting or beating choong - gil up . the movie didn\u2019t really offer to introduce their background stories either which is why they seem hateful to me . we don\u2019t really know much about our second leads other than that so - hee moved to the countryside because of her health and that gwang - sik claimed young - sook who was never his to begin with . if the movie had given some background information on our second leads and the obstacles or problems they faced to become the tough and rugged person they are , maybe i would pity them a little , but because the movie didn\u2019t , i just ended the movie feeling bitter and hateful towards them , lol .\ni love this movies . . i love park boyoung the most one . . haha . . i love all the scene that boyoung unnie act . . all the gang scene . . haha . . its too live and natural acting i ever see . . all over it , i really love and i hope that bo young will have a character like this again . . haha lol ! park bo young fighting ! !\nthis is my second comment , i don ' t know why the first one didn ' t comes out . it looks funny movie , i wish blood boiling youth will be a memorable movie in early 2014 . yeeee . . . . ! ! ! lee jong suk , kim young kwang , long legs man collaboration . so sad kim young kwang will not going to promote this movie with others due his military duty .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school ' s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook ' s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee ' s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nhis two friends does relay to young - sook though that choong - gil\u2019s in danger because of gwang - sik so she goes to rescue him . choong - gil is able to leave gwang - sik with just a few injuries on his face because of young - sook who stops and threatens gwang - sik . she meets up with choong - gil f a few minutes later and they walk together back home , but choong - gil doesn\u2019t want young - sook\u2019s help or for her to be around him . he walks ahead of her to avoid her presence , but stops when she pulls out the compass asking him if he remembers it .\nyoung - sook can\u2019t stand to stay in the warehouse any longer so she walks back home . while on her walk home , she meets gwang - sik who questions her on where she\u2019s going and whether or not she met up with choong - gil . young - sook answers that yes , they met up and actually did something together too which pisses gwang - sik off even more . she walks away unaffected by his anger though .\ni definitely enjoyed the more serious , dramatic , and emotional scenes in this movie , with most of them revolving around the childhood memories and the past . it was only then that we were able to get a better understanding of our characters . the young - sook that was an elementary kid was not the same young - sook that was in high school . the same can be applied to choong - gil and their relationship which was not the same when they were in elementary school and when they were in high school . a lot of things changed between choong - gil and young - sook and i wished the film could have shown us on how they drifted apart instead of forcing us to watch choong - gil flirt and play around with girls ( which i understand is his main feature and characteristic , but it got really boring and tiring ) . i enjoyed watching young young - sook and choong - gil interact with each other as friends , because it proves that they were close at one point , but what i think the film should have done was show us how they became distant .\nbut the movie felt slightly directionless - probably due to a combination of the writing and the directing . the character and relationship development were half - hearted , especially between lee jong seok and park bo young ' s characters .\nthe principal meets up with so - hee\u2019s father and young - sook\u2019s mother so that they can talk about the fight and reach a consensus , but they themselves end up arguing . fed up and exhausted , young - sook runs out of the office to get her belongings in her classroom and walks out of the school campus . while she walks out , choong - gil watches her from inside his classroom and ponders over her attitude plus behavior .\nlater on that night , young - sook dresses up really nicely ( she\u2019s wearing a dress ! how cute ! ) and checks her make - up in the mirror while waiting at choong - gil\u2019s \u2018base . \u2019 young - sook grows happy at the sound of footsteps but becomes disappointed when it\u2019s not the person that she wants . it turns out that choong - gil had an emergency so he sent his friend instead to go to the base to relay the message . disappointed , she walks towards the door but is interrupted by choong - gil\u2019s friend who has other plans instead . he places his hand on young - sook\u2019s behind and puts on a creepy smile which infuriates young - sook and causes her to beat choong - gil\u2019s friend up pretty bad . ( yeah dude , you\u2019re messing with the wrong person . but it\u2019s okay choong - gil\u2019s friend ! i would have you anytime ! ) .\nhis efforts to capture so - hee\u2019s heart goes to waste though for young - sook always ends up ruining his plans and stealing the gifts he got for so - hee . lol . just acknowledge and accept young - sook\u2019s feelings already choong - gil ! haha . when he finds so - hee feeding some rabbits that she seems to like , he ends up getting her those rabbits without her knowing who got it for her and why , but she accepts it regardless . meanwhile , young - sook notices the sneakers that she originally bought for choong - gil being worn by gwang - sik and grows angry because she didn\u2019t buy it for gwang - sik in the first place .\nhere is a little quick summary for you guys before i go ahead and start on the recap . it\u2019s a version of my own summary for the movie since i\u2019ve watched it before . hehe . so i apologize if it sounds really funny and weird . \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 takes place in the early 1980\u2032s and showcases the lives of our four main characters : young - sook ( played by park bo young ) , joong - chil ( played by lee jong suk ) , so - hee ( played by lee se young ) , and gwang - sik ( played by kim young - kwang ) . to put it into simpler terms , the movie revolves around a love square . gwang - sik likes young - sook who likes joong - chil who likes so - hee . young - sook is the jjang or iljin of her high school . she\u2019s basically like the bad - ass leader that most of the girls obey out of fear . she\u2019s tough , bad - ass , and can drop kick a guy twice her height . yeah , i would be scared of her too . joong - chil is this really witty guy who uses his own method to capture the fluttering hearts of girls . he\u2019s suave and smooth when it comes to girls , but not so much when it comes to fighting as many times in this movie , he always comes home with a bruised face . so - hee is that new student who transferred from seoul that many of the guys spazz over , including joong - chil . so he tries his own tactics to get at her and almost succeeds . last but not least , gwang - sik is the iljin or leader of his mob and he harbors this crush ( but more like possession ) over young - sook , claiming her to be his and when he discovers that there might be someone else interfering in their relationship , he gets super angry and scary . sooo basically you don\u2019t want to mess with him either . the movie ultimately showcases the complex relationships between all our four lead characters and the journey that they embark on together .\nher gaze betrays layers of hurt even though she never speaks of them . and even though young sook\u2019s first instinct is always to protect her pride , she\u2019s bold and gutsy and never shies away from tough situations or difficult decisions .\ncan you help me out with something though ? i had been frantically searching for the song that was used at the beginning of the movie . the one that was played in the background when joong gil was riding a bicycle . also there were more songs like this throughout the movie , like when joong gil was about to kiss young sook but gets caught by lee se young . can you please tell me the name of the song and the singer ?\nso fcuking good . . . so so good . . . you just can ' t even - - ugh . the parts towards the end was just damn . great performance from lee jong suk and park bo young : - )\nchoong - gil and young - sook\u2019s school have just returned from another trip and is heading back to school . while on the train , choong - gil\u2019s friends expose to him details they\u2019ve obtained of the new transfer student from seoul ( creepy much eh ? ) . her name is so - hee ( lee se young ) which means \u2018rain\u2019 in korean , so upon hearing this , choong - gil\u2019s friend asks if it\u2019s raining and looks outside the window . hahaha .\nso - hee confronts young - sook on how troublesome she is and they end up fighting each other . although the crowd that has formed outside of the girl\u2019s restroom just watches them fight in amazement , choong - gil comes to stop them from continuing on any further . he accuses young - sook of stripping so - hee\u2019s clothes off of her when he comes to rescue so - hee ( who feigns weakness and fear ) and takes her out of the restroom .\nset in the early 1980 ' s in heongseong , south korea . young sook is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school . although she is known for her toughness , she has a secret crush on joong gil . meanwhile , joong gil is the school ' s playboy . he attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for young sook . that ' s because gwang shik , the feared leader of a rival school ' s male\npark bo - young and kim young - kwang are set to co - star in the upcoming romantic drama your wedding ( translated title ) . in the film\u2019s plot , soo - jeong ( kim ) receives a wedding invitation from his first love seung - hee ( park ) . the film chronicles the 10 - year relationship of the two , beginning with their high school years and following them into adulthood . your wedding marks a return to the silver screen . . .\nso - hee is dissatisfied at first , but roller skating with choong - gil turns out to be a great time for her . she gets to witness clumsy choong - gil make a fool out of himself by continually falling and trying to impress her by pretending like he knows how to roller skate when really he doesn\u2019t . their date continues when they visit the town to get something to eat . while walking and talking casually , they come across young - sook\u2019s who working at her mom\u2019s restaurant . young - sook notices choong - gil and so - hee together , but doesn\u2019t say a word . the hurt and sorrowful look in her eyes already conveys enough . ( aw , poor young - sook ) .\nhe goes to talk and chill with young - sook in hopes of maybe cheering her up . he takes notice of her injured and pale face , but she tells him to not worry . choong - gil allows her to sleep at his base for the night since young - sook doesn\u2019t want to return home , especially since her mom knows that she got into a fight . they discuss about graduation and college which then leads them to their next conversation which is about their childhood memories . we learn that choong - gil wasn\u2019t always ladies\u2019s man when he was younger and actually had good grades while our young - sook hasn\u2019t changed much . she would always copy choong - gil\u2019s homework and had bad grades . haha , too cute . young - sook encourages choong - gil to go home while she gets ready to sleep . he leaves her alone in his base , but goes back to bring her a bag of medicine since he\u2019s worried about her .\nkim young kwang ( once again ) is completely believable as a violent dumb jock . i found gwang sik so reminiscent of his character in white christmas , really , except this time he\u2019s rocking the slicked - back elvis - esque hair .\ni did not expect this movie to be as good as it was . the characters are so well written and well played . the end was so corny and yet so perfect . park bo young and lee jung suk are so good togerher .\nand that is how a boy becomes a man ! my poor little young sook t . t had given everything . one of the most epic moment in this movie is when joong gil realized what he lost and gained a shock that changed him forever . the bully - fightback scene is just karma , happens everywhere and its so normal in my eyes . i want to meet my young sook too , i will keep searching for her and will not live a coward like joong gil did ."]}

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

culture humour , as is the case with many other films of this ilk . all of the kids play competently , with neither an overkill of saccharine or knowing cynicism . however , the treatment remains strictly middle of the road and eminently forgettable . under a more lively director , the basic premise could have amounted to something \u0096 imagine how much fun the idea could have been in the hands of a director like robert rodriguez or joe dante . alas , handled by john schultz , it amounts to no more than a school holiday season junk food snack .\nas a talia shire fan , i was disappointed to note she only had a cameo in this production . however , she has executive - produced by her company taliafilm . ltd . , this tale of aliens that look like humans coming down to our planet earth and checking to see if it benefits their species to live . the tale is told from the point of view of 2 alien girls and the new human friend they find in a boy , who along with his male guardian , welcome them to this world and let them experience living as we do . this film is best suited to young children and those viewers whose interests lie in the extra -

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

before - seen footage that todd has captured over twenty years of tracking bigfoot in the bush , it all seems too incredible to ignore . but les needs 100 % irrefutable proof . for an expedition to yield any success , the search must be made by the most elite of wilderness experts who have the experience to film in the extreme conditions one can expect from the most remote locations . of the 7 billion people on the planet , only les stroud fits the criteria . this is survivorman like you\u2019ve never seen him before .\nfor years , the appalachian mountains have held mysteries of unexplained creatures and phenomena hidden deep within its hollers and woods . now , a band of six hardcore outdoorsmen have established a monster -

wondrous musical . 2003\u2019s goodbye , dragon inn connects the closing of a movie palace with the gay subculture that persists there , but the actual space is decaying and rotten . his 2006 film i don\u2019t want to sleep alone comes closer , since much of the action takes place among transients in kuala lumpur , but even that is dominated by the phenomenon of a forest fire blanketing the city in smoke . stray dogs is simply about how a family survives without money , and the devastating emotional consequences .\n\u201cstray dogs , \u201d a visually stunning yet stark portrait of poverty and homelessness on the streets of modern -

act turn in particular leaves us wondering if we\u2019ve jumped forward in time , or backwards \u2014 whether we\u2019re seeing a new stage in the characters\u2019 desolation or a glimpse of what helped bring them to this moment . at one point , the kids dress a head of cabbage with lipstick and fake hair and slip it into bed beside their father ; what he then drunkenly does to the cabbage is by turns hilarious , pathetic , unsettling , and horrifying , leaving us with a million more questions than before . there\u2019s a real eerie quality to the film\u2019s slipperiness . it\u2019s unnatural , almost uncanny : the more we watch these people , the less we understand them .\nluckily , we\u2019re in the care of a master . tsai is renowned for his audaciously controlled , static shots ; in the 2001 comedy what time is it over there ? he practically turned his aesthetic into a running gag . and his work has become even more experimental and installationlike over the years . i counted fewer than 80 shots in all of stray dogs , each gorgeous and immersive and bewildering in its own way . the power of the director\u2019s cinema lies in its aural and tactile quality \u2014 and that\u2019s where we might find a hint of a meaning . if i had to find one word to describe stray dogs , it would be cavernous . there is no warmth to be found anywhere in the film . even the one nice house we see is cold and vast . the impoverished characters are often at the mercy of the elements \u2013 the driving rain that pounds their ramshackle bedroom , or the howling wind that blasts dad at work on that taipei street , or the huge , chilling blackness of night .\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 is a desperately needed home - video upgrade that at last presents leos carax\u2019s film in its correct aspect ratio , and with excellent video and sound quality .\nstray dogs is a story about a person trapped in typical social structure . the protagonist tony lives his middle class dreams and desires . he is an employee in a manufacturing industry . the hierarchy always dominates his freedom . he becomes tired of the pressure exerted on him at work front . being suppressed by the superior , he can ' t keep his commitments and priorities in personal life . the story unfolds his journey in which he shifts his tangent and starts performing the role of manipulator . being secluded in a hotel room , he creates the same social pyramid and experiences the effect of his dominance on a waiter . finally he confronts the reality of this vicious circle , where everybody is trapped within it including a stray dog .\nhalf a million semi - feral dogs , one to every six people , roam the island . when rabies arrived during 2008 , the government attempted to control the disease with mass culls . but these animals have become woven into the tapestry of bali\u2019s hindu lifestyle for almost 5 , 000 years . bali dogs typically forage for food amongst the trash , and especially around warungs where food may be discarded . the lucky ones meet a human who has sympathy and leaves food out for them .\n,\nwhich has just three shots ; and this one\u2014it refuses to engage with anything resembling conventional , commercially viable storytelling . this is a director whose 1997 film\nfor more than 20 years , taiwanese master tsai ming - liang has been cinema\u2019s premier poet of urban alienation , advancing a single - take / master - shot style that\u2019s studied and deliberate , but open to unexpected bursts of humor , whimsy , and even musical sequences . his star and muse , lee kang - sheng , is the closest thing modern movies have to a buster keaton successor : a slight but physically deft performer with an implacably stone - faced demeanor . but lately , first with 2009\u2019s face and now with the beautiful stray dogs , tsai appears to have lost interest in appealing to anyone beyond fans of his work , which sounds like a criticism , but is in fact the contrary . stray dogs isn\u2019t a gateway , but an exit , a stunning culmination of a career that has taken poverty as a condition of its lonely characters , but not its true subject until now . the more of tsai\u2019s filmography viewers know , the more that history adds power to this particular effort .\nthere is a plot to stray dogs , but it\u2019s spare and tenuous , and you could have a quick chuckle reading various reviews to see how different writers interpret it . a father ( tsai regular lee kang - sheng ) and his two kids live in abject poverty on the outskirts of taipei . dad , an alcoholic and a depressive , is a haunted , quiet guy . something , or some things , have broken him . he holds up real - estate signs for a living , standing still at the edge of busy intersections for hours on end , pretty much the perfect job for a tsai ming - liang character . the two kids wander cheerfully on their own , often passing the time and eating the samples at a local supermarket , where a female clerk seems to take an interest in them . does she know them ? we\u2019re not sure . at nights , the woman wanders abandoned lots feeding stray dogs . she also seems to be looking for something . is she looking for the kids ?\ntsai ming - liang\u2019s stray dogs is not billed as a horror film , but it might as well be . opening with an ominous , hypnotic , and perplexing image of a woman slowly brushing her hair while two kids snooze beside her , this amazing , maddening film presents a series of extended , mostly static , terrifying tableaux of despair , poverty , and decay . the lengthy , locked - down images contain a tension all their own \u2014 like that aforementioned first shot , whose meaning remains just out of our grasp . sometimes tsai fixes his camera on an actor and lets us watch them up close for impossibly long periods of time , as if challenging the performer . but , in fact , he\u2019s challenging us \u2014 not so much our patience ( though he\u2019s challenging that , too ) , but our ability to live with the uncertainty of his otherwise concrete images .\non a dark , wet night a historic and regal chinese cinema sees its final film . together with a small handful of souls they bid\ngoodbye , dragon inn .\nassembling a year -

production . we are proud of our contribution to their success .\nearlier this month , the film , about a homeless family living on the desperately mean streets of taipei , was acquired for u . s . release by specialty distributor cinema guild .\nif imitation is the sincerest form of flattery , than john carpenter must be blushing pretty hard right now . while filmmakers have been biting on his style since at least the early \u201980s , when the first wave of halloween knockoffs began flooding theaters , some of the most affectionate and skillful homages to his work arrived in 2014 . this past january\u2019s sundance film festival featured not one , but two blatant carpenter nods : jim mickle\u2019s unpredictable crime drama , cold in july , and adam wingard\u2019s crackerjack genre pastiche , the guest . then in may , at the cannes film festival , david robert mitchell successfully mixed his own indie sensibilities with those of the master , emerging with the superbly scary horror film it follows . all three movies evoke carpenter in their framing choices , their dread - infused small - town environments , and , especially , their synth - heavy scores . it\u2019s a good omen for the future of genre cinema , which could use fewer blair witch clones and more the thing impersonations .\n\u201csince this government introduced the edinburgh festivals expo fund in 2008 , we have invested \u00a3950 , 000 to support around 320 emerging film makers to develop their screen skills and hone their talents .\nwe voted , we tallied , we made a list : the a . v . club \u2019s tribute to the best films of 2014 was democratically assembled , with each of its six contributors submitting a ranked inventory of their favorites . the individual ballots are below , each affixed with six superlatives , including an outlier ( a film that made one list but no others ) and a wild - card category of the writer\u2019s choosing . did we forget something essential ? set the record straight in the comments section , and head over to the results of the readers\u2019 poll to see if this indisputable masterpiece got its due there .\n\u201cthe expo fund supported eiff talent labs are now an integral part of scotland\u2019s support for new and emerging filmmaking talent , developing eiff and scotland\u2019s international reputation as a hotbed of film talent . \u201d\nassembling a year - end top - 10 list has always been a personal , even self - indulgent , ritual , a way of disguising a whimsical ranking of favorites as a carefully curated declaration of personal taste . at the risk of making things even more solipsistic than usual , let me begin by noting that the fraught relationship between artists and critics provided 2014 with one of its most compelling movie themes , with critics themselves \u2014 food critics , art critics , theater critics and , yes , film critics \u2014 figuring among the year\u2019s most favored characters . and by favored , of course , i mean mocked , loathed and misunderstood at every turn .\nuntil it goes haywire with the cabbage scene , \u201cstray dogs\u201d sustains a hypnotic intensity anchored in exquisite cinematography that portrays the modern industrial cityscape as a chilly wasteland . we see double and triple reflections in a supermarket where a kindly clerk lets the children feast on food samples . the camera tracks family members from a distance as they inch from one end of the screen to the other . for every tableau of the people on the far horizon , there is an intimate shot of family members , bathing , brushing their teeth and urinating , sometimes in a public restroom and other times outdoors .\nnone of this is especially dramatic . when they\u2019re onscreen together , there\u2019s no evident tension between the family members , and no conventional through - line of a plot . stray dogs is about the condition of living hand - to - mouth , of being among those forgotten urban dwellers who are pressed so far into the margins that nobody notices them at all . in one of the film\u2019s most extraordinary scenes , tears slowly well up in lee\u2019s eyes as he stands with his placard in the driving rain , singing a chinese lyrical poem with a cracked voice . he\u2019s hidden by the sign and the downpour\u2014no one can see him or hear him at this moment , other than the audience . tsai implies that pain doesn\u2019t even register enough for people to feel apathetic about it ; they just don\u2019t know he\u2019s there .\ntaiwan distributor , atom cinema said that it would give the film one or two commercial screenings per day from late february . after that it will shift online and in summer be screened again in museums .\nthe scottish government has supported more than 300 emerging filmmakers to develop their screen skills through an eight - year funding package to the edinburgh international film festival totalling \u00a3950 , 000 , culture secretary fiona hyslop said today .\naside from its intense focus on surface materiality and atmosphere ( and the aforementioned batshit crazy cabbage scene ) , stray dogs also takes a unique approach to time . tsai\u2019s shots are as long as they\u2019ve ever been and the camera movement even more limited , which combined with the listless movements of his actors \u2014 particularly those of the father ( longtime tsai muse lee kang - sheng at his deadpan best ) \u2014 creates a sense of boundlessness within the finite , where moments of pain and boredom are stretched beyond all manageable limits . in stray dogs , tedium is lethal and time is the enemy of those caught within its inescapable and vicious circularity . besides the few scenes where the characters are eating and , as animalistic as it\u2019s portrayed , are achieving some sort of pleasure , nearly every other sequence is a mere endurance test against a never - ending array of insufferable circumstances , be they physical , mental , or spiritual . the intensified materiality of tsai\u2019s cinematic world enhances the brutality of this most - demanding means of existence , but also helps to ground its transitions into more ethereal territory in the final act where the cerebral and the corporeal , the dream and the reality all merge in a powerful and mystifying climax . the emotional and geographical wasteland where this takes place is both foreign and achingly real , and for those with the patience to traverse its terrains , its rewards are as vast as they are strange and unsettling .\nthe malaysian - born , taiwan - based tsai won the grand jury prize at venice and was named best director at the golden horse awards in november , but he has repeatedly expressed frustration with the commercial scene and impatient cinema audiences . he has also suggested that he may retire after \u201cdogs\u201d and make any future films for museums and art galleries instead .\nsnake feed is a glimpse into the lives of irene and rick , two people struggling with life -

sold audience .\nit asks a lot of us . in fact it asks us to set aside everything we ' ve been conditioned to think movies are , and roll with a different way of seeing and hearing things , and connect .\ni backed out of answering this question on last year\u2019s ballot , but since a . a . dowd has told me i can\u2019t pull the same stunt again this year , i\u2019ll say that i\u2019m irked by a certain tendency within the culture of film criticism to view movies through the diffuse , rosy filter of festival hype . a girl walks home alone at night isn\u2019t a terrible movie , but its reception provides a perfect example . so many of the movie\u2019s reviews bring up the influences listed in the film\u2019s press kit , without getting into how the film really works and moves ; somehow , through the alchemy of hype , an art - schoolish american indie full of slow - motion sequences set to synth - laden , sub - hip indie rock has willed itself into being described and addressed as an iranian western . go figure .\nit seems like tsai is trying way too hard to be tarkovsky ( his previous film also gave strong indications of that ) with extremely elongated static shots that can be really tiring for most viewers and dilutes into near banality the strength of the sad story that he wants to tell .\neiff talent lab : provides an intensive residency programme for live action , first time feature filmmakers set within the context of eiff . it delivers workshops and masterclasses with international film industry talent , advice sessions with financiers , producers , and talent scouts , and a range of networking opportunities .\nbut arguably the year\u2019s smartest , most big - hearted and nuanced onscreen portrait of a critic could be found in \u201ctop five , \u201d and not just because it had the good grace to suggest that a profession of mostly white male schlumps might plausibly be represented by rosario dawson . virtually alone among this year\u2019s movies , chris rock\u2019s marvelously rounded comedy was broad - minded enough to put the artist and the critic on equal footing , and to suggest that , without forsaking their ideals , the two need not always be adversaries . it\u2019s in a similar spirit of reciprocal generosity and unguarded admiration that i offer up this list of my favorite films released theatrically in 2014 :\non the other hand , stray dogs is also far from a straightforward portrayal of poverty . from the ever - presence of water ( tsai\u2019s most common motif ) and the cracked walls of their various abodes , to the mysterious return of the mother ( or mother figure ? ) from the opening shot and an unexplained manifestation of an expensive full - body massage chair , it\u2019s clear that tsai isn\u2019t operating on a purely realistic , logical level either . the film\u2019s most bizarre and chilling scene involves a doll the children made from a head of cabbage that the father discovers next to him when he awakes one morning . upon staring at its blank , expressionless face that the children drew onto it , he attempts to violently suffocate it with his pillow , kiss it , gouge out its eyes , then feverishly eat it for several minutes before fully breaking down . all this unfolds in a mesmerizing single take that culminates at the peak of his despair and is packed with conflicting emotions unearthed from what must have been years of mental hardship in unsustainable , inhumane conditions . this scene \u2014 easily the greatest food - item - cum - emotional - catharsis sequence in cinema since there will be blood \u2019s milkshake diatribe \u2014 is a perfect encapsulation of the film , brimming with raw emotion yet tinged with the enigmatic strangeness that pervades all of tsai\u2019s work . it\u2019s terrifying , hilarious , wholly tragic , and among the greatest , most memorable scenes in recent years .\nopening with a shot of a mother ( played , mysteriously , by three different women ) brushing her hair in silence as her sleeping children ( lee yi - cheng and lee yi - chieh ) huddle under blankets behind her , stray dogs settles into a mood of pervasive sadness . the members of this family\u2014none of whom are given a name\u2014are rarely together at once , and they never seem to sleep in the same place , moving from a crumbling industrial space one night to an abandoned building another . the father ( lee ) works as a human placard , holding up an advertising sign in the wind and rain , as cars howl under the overpass . the mother works in a grocery store ; the kids sometimes have to fend for themselves . tsai arranges them all like satellites without a home to orbit\u2014washing up in public restrooms , shivering as they bunk in exposed concrete shelters .\nthe penultimate shot of tsai ming - liang\u2019s recent stray dogs is a 13 - minute close - up of lee kang - sheng and chen shiang - chyi\u2019s characters achingly regarding a mural on a wall . their sense of almost holy contemplation is encoded in the very being of the taiwanese auteur\u2019s follow - up , journey to the west , with tsai stationary camera and customary use of long takes observing little more than a nameless buddhist monk ( lee ) inching along urban landscapes in marseilles , france , with visual beauty extracted from the contrast between his snail\u2019s - pace movements and the hustle and bustle of his surroundings . maintaining constant eye contact on his feet , seemingly oblivious to what\u2019s around him , the monk appears trapped in a zone of perpetual meditation , one in which time is of no consequence as he works his way , step by carefully considered step , toward some never - specified destination .\nas i sat and watched\nstray dog\n, i felt very annoyed . again and again and again , scenes where nothing particular is happening , the camera remained there for a very long time . in each case , the film could have been edited and you would have had roughly the same effect . . . without boring the audience . so , when you show two men in ponchos in the rain holding signs , you don ' t need to show this scene for a full minute and then return to do the same thing again - - especially when the men aren ' t doing anything other than holding signs ! ! the same goes for the introduction , as you see a lady staring at her kids as they sleep . . . for the longest time ! ! in addition , showing a guy taking a leak is another sign that this is a self - indulgent sort of film from director ming - liang tsai . editing and pacing are important to most directors , but not apparently in this case ! as a result , a decent story is marred unnecessarily by the direction that tends to bore and annoy many viewers . i know i sure felt both . what should have been an important film about a homeless family on the fringes instead is an interminable bore . we get it that the folks are depressed and that ' s why they do nothing . . . but think about the audience having to watch this .\nin a fit of despair and self - loathing , he suffocates the vegetable with a pillow , eats and spits out parts , then furiously gouges out its features before ravenously consuming the rest and bursting into sobs . augmenting the anguished mood , a drenching rain falls outside , as it does through much of the film .\na small group of dog lovers bonded over coffee and cupcakes and the adoption idea was born . olivia from ol\u00e9 ol\u00e9 ollie , hannah stone from chewy\u2019s , together with sunset vet and a group of friends , neighbours , and volunteers help run the event . on average , half of the dogs at adoption day get adopted or fostered . they also get a lot of people coming and then falling in love with a certain dog and will end up fostering or adopting a few days afterwards .\nin february 2015 , ms hyslop announced \u00a33m of additional support for film production and skills development . the screen skills fund announced as part of that package has received 22 strong proposals covering the entire range of the sector\u2019s activity . it\u2019s expected the first successful recipients of those funds will be announced next month . for background , see : urltoken\nwriter / director ruth paxton has completed three short films since taking part in the lab . pulse won the award for best woman director at the london short film festival 2015 . ruth is currently in development with her first feature a hymn for mars which is being produced by tom wood of wellington films and has received development funding from creative scotland .\ntsai ming - liang\u2019s cinema has always been primarily about physical spaces . the people and events that occur within these spaces are not so much secondary as they are defined , transformed , and dominated by it , even reflected within it . whether it\u2019s the gradually flooding apartment in the river , the smoke seeping throughout kuala lumpor in i don\u2019t want to sleep alone , or the closing cinema in goodbye dragon inn , the textures and physical conditions of these settings remain powerful representations of the psychic states of its inhabitants , yet they\u2019re always mysterious and elusive . the taipei of stray dogs is no different , where even the highway ( where the nameless protagonist holds a heavy sign advertising a luxury apartment complex ) and the enormous supermarket ( where his children hang out at eating free samples while he works ) take on an alien feeling that\u2019s as equally unsettling as the sinister abandoned building where they sleep . poverty has rendered these people emotionless , and as ghosts , they float throughout these spaces merely enduring their existence with what little help alcohol and makeshift toys can provide .\ndirected by : tsai ming - liang genre : fiction - runtime : 2 h 18 min french release : 12 / 03 / 2014 production year : 2013 a father and his two children wander the margins of modern day taipei , from the woods and rivers of the outskirts to the rain streaked streets of the city . by day the father scrapes out a meager income as a human billboard for luxury apartments , while his young son and daughter roam the supermarkets and malls surviving off free food samples . each night the family takes shelter in an abandoned building . the father is strangely affected by a hypnotic mural adorning the wall of this makeshift home . on the day of the father ' s birthday the family is joined by a woman - might she be the key to unlocking the buried emotions that linger from the past ? more info : urltoken\nbut even when the characters find safety and shelter , the elements are there . late in the film , we see everyone tucked away cozily in what is best described as a house made of rain , whose walls have melted and molded over from the water ( someone says the house is \u201ccrying\u201d ) . right near the end , in the film\u2019s most audacious static shot , two characters stand in a decaying room surrounded by rocks \u2014 looking at a giant painting of rocks . have they entered the painting , or has the painting burst through its frame ? does it matter ? despair is its own ecosystem , the director seems to say ; it won\u2019t leave you alone even if you have a roof over your head . i\u2019m still shivering .\nin the story , such as it is , mr . lee\u2019s character slowly loses all hope as he drags his children and a female partner ( played by three actresses ) around the muddy fringes of taipei . few words are spoken . in the longest monologue , mr . lee , tears welling in his eyes , recites a southern song dynasty poem that distills the film\u2019s fatalistic mood :\nif\nstray dogs\nis a challenging movie for some viewers , it might have to do with more than just its deliberate pacing . in fact , director tsai ming liang has structured this movie unlike most others in that it resembles a jigsaw puzzle more than anything else . so , what might seem confusing at first , soon clarifies to show a portait of a family in crisis living on the edge of starvation with the mother having just left because she can no longer stand it even before the opening credits . after which , her daughter and son hang around a supermarket all day , eating free samples and buying a cabbage . whether this is because of the fractured family dynamic or the daughter just being one weird kid is up for debate . in the meantime , the father works at a miserable low paying job holding a sign advertising apartments in a highway median in all sorts of weather which is certainly not for the faint of heart . what tsai ming liang does well is use the irony of all of these luxury apartments being built and then left unoccupied and compare that to people like this family who are homeless and living in squalor in taipei .\na lot of the puppies are boarded at sunset vet in kuta or at other facilities 29 days out of the month while waiting for a permanent home . for these pups , going to adoption day is also a fun \u2018field trip\u2019 where they get to be free , play and get cuddles . not all the rescued dogs are boarded at sunset vet . if they are too young or still recovering from medical conditions they receive proper treatment and many are put in foster care . a network of amazing people , the majority of which are locals , are the backbone of the rescue and adoption process .\njennifer kent\u2019s exceedingly over - heralded the babadook is , in many respects , a fine film , detailing the psychological disintegration of a single mother ( essie davis ) whose efforts to raise her son ( noah wiseman ) while still grieving over the death of her husband\u2014who died while taking her to the hospital to deliver their child\u2014is complicated by the arrival of a scary children\u2019s book dubbed mister babadook . yet for all its acuity about parental anxieties , replete with fine performances from its two leads , kent\u2019s film fails to be the one thing that any horror film must , first and foremost , strive to be : scary . the babadook is an obvious creation , making painfully clear from the outset that its demon is merely a figment of its protagonist\u2019s tormented imagination , and that obviousness is a knife to the heart of any potential tension or terror . without anything approaching a decent jolt scare , much less any convincing sense that its child - in - peril scenario might actually end in tragic circumstances , the babadook just sits there , predictable and inert , teasing viewers with horrors it has no intention of ever actually delivering , and thus making one pine for the truly scary predecessors ( the shining , it\u2019s alive ) that inspired it .\ndirected by tsai ming -

actor performances in years , moodysson\u2019s film is a rollicking blast of adolescent rebellion and camaraderie , one in which music strengthens the bonds between kids viewed as outsiders by both their families and peers . with a sly sense of humor and period detail that never tips into nostalgic mawkishness , we are the best ! paints a believably scraggly portrait of childhood as a period of pushing back against elders ( and the cliques that dominate social life ) , and finding yourself through experiences both embarrassing and enlivening . it\u2019s the coming -

lived television series get real . hathaway then landed the role that made her famous , playing mia thermopolis in the princess diaries ( 2001 ) . in 2006 she found huge success with the devil wears prada and the following year she starred in becoming jane , a film about jane austen . hathaway then garnered both critical and commercial attention for her role in 2010 & apos ; s love and other drugs , due in no small part to her nude scenes in the film . she went on to win acclaim for later film appearances , including those in the dark knight rises , les miserables ( both released in 2012 ) and alice through the looking glass ( 2016 ) , before being tapped for the heist comedy ocean & apos ; s 8 ( 2018 ) .\nthe uk\u2019s \u00a31bn industry that sells films and tv shows such as victoria , sherlock and love island across europe is under threat from plans in brussels that will slash their value to broadcasters on the continent , a cross -

up devoted to black independent filmmakers based in and around new york . in 2015 the film society of lincoln center premiered the groundbreaking series tell it like it is : black independents in new york , 1968 - 1986 , programmed by michelle materre and jake perlin . this series re - contextualized the all too rarely seen film and television works of artists including jessie maple , william miles , kathleen collins , bill gunn , st . clair bourne , madeline anderson , kent garrett and william greaves , among many others . whether in documentaries , experimental shorts , or feature length narratives these artists recharted black life on screen . falling between the twin poles of production that were the blaxploitation cycle and what paula massood describes as the black city cinema of the 1990s , these artists were part of a new york \u201cscene . \u201d whether as colleagues or friends , a network of black artists emerged . within this network artists exchanged ideas and challenged typical modes of production and representation .\nbowing at no . 3 on 199 screens nationwide is \u201cgrace of monaco\u201d with $ 755 , 665 on 64 , 542 admissions . the only other non - japanese film in the top ten , \u201cdawn of the planet of the apes , \u201d slipped from the seventh to the ninth spot .\nwhile many of these filmmakers had close relationships with new york\u2019s prominent public television station wnet , some worked across media . expanding the scope beyond new york city , these artists represented an east coast analog to the west coast work of the la rebellion filmmakers . where ucla represented a nexus point of education , the networks created on the east coast were entangled across and against institutions . this close - up section endeavors to re - frame how scholars think of \u201cblack cinema\u201d and the ways in which black filmmakers on the east coast honed specific aesthetic and narrative strategies , cultivated often in opposition to those emerging in other artistic spheres . figures like gunn and collins , who were once pejoratively characterized as belonging to the \u201chudson river school of cinematography\u201d turned to both the stage and the page as writers , sculpting worlds of middle class black life that cut across time and prescribed notions of legible blackness .\ntrolls is a neon - tinted explosion of glitter , music and fast - paced humor . it may not be an animated masterpiece but there are some very creative and charming things happening in this film . dreamworks isn ' t at the level of challenging disney or pixar and they prove it again with their latest , but if trolls maybe isn ' t ambitious it ' s a lot of fun . the animation is lovely to look at . colorful and tactile with use of felt and scrapbook cutouts , the animation sparkles . the film tells an important if rather basic message about happiness and how it is found within . the first half of the film is delightful with some terrific musical numbers starring anna kendrick , however , momentum slows a bit once the trolls hit bergen town , and the addition of a sideplot involving a bergen scullery maid is rather strange , but the film pulls it together near the end . in the film ' s best scene , resembling inside out ' s memory dump scene , justin timberlake flexes his vocals in a touching rendition or true colors and an oddly quiet scene from the typical frenzied dreamworks ' animations . trolls is a cute story , told well with some good vocal performances and some nice musical numbers . it ' s loud and frantic at times and it doesn ' t dig too deep , but it ' s charming and funny enough to make a pleasant escape from the torturous election season . rating : 68\nhathaway & apos ; s success on the silver screen continued with the devil wears prada ( 2006 ) , a film adaptation of the best - selling novel by lauren weisberger . in the film , hathaway plays a struggling journalist who takes a job at a fashion magazine out of desperation , and finds herself working as an assistant for the publication & apos ; s difficult and demanding editor - in - chief . her character & apos ; s boss , played by meryl streep , is said to have been based on anna wintour , editor - in - chief of vogue magazine .\nwith the encouragement of her only friend , nanami kikuko ( mizuki yamamoto ) , yuni realises that she has fallen in love with her teacher , sakurai who also happens to be admired by every girl in school . every time yuni has the chance to express the way she feels to sakurai , she isn ' t able to do so .\nhathaway returned to the role for the 2004 sequel , the princess diaries 2 : royal engagement . that same year , she played the title character in ella enchanted , a twist on the cinderella story . the film received mostly positive reviews , with critic roger ebert describing her as\nbeautiful\nand\nluminous .\nthe first movie close - up featured fred ott , who headlined the 81 - frame edison kinetoscopic record of a sneeze , which was recorded in the first week of january 1894 to illustrate an article in harper ' s weekly . journalist burton phillips had actually requested a female subject , so the mustachioed joker of thomas edison ' s west orange laboratory must have come as something of a surprise . the facial hair of john c rice dominated another kinetoscope short photographed in the famous black maria studio , the kiss ( 1896 ) . however , this 22 - second highlight from the saucy broadway hit , the widow jones , co - starred canadian actress may irwin . some viewed their embrace with distaste , however , and the film was banned in several towns , as such graphic displays of affection were deemed wholly inappropriate .\nin 2012 , hathaway landed one of her most exciting roles yet : playing catwoman in the third film of christopher nolan & apos ; s batman series , the dark knight rises . she then starred in les miserables ( 2012 ) alongside hugh jackman , amanda seyfried and russell crowe . in the film , hathaway plays fantine , a poor french woman who turns to prostitution to support her only child , cosette . in january 2013 , she received a golden globe award ( best supporting actress ) for her performance in les miserables . hathaway & apos ; s winning streak continued with her first academy award win for best supporting actress for her portrayal of fantine that february .\nisn ' t particularly good entertainment , nor is it moving , nor instructive , except for incipient cinematographers and directors . a good story has gone to waste , and there is no need for most people to bother checking out the obscured virtues of the film . those who have never understood what\noverdirected\nmeans might want to see\ngyaaaahhhh ! ! ! ! i just recently read this manga and i really love it ! ! ! i ' m sooo happy yamapi is the lead role ! ! ! i watched his buzzer beat ^ . ^ and nana komatsu looks sooo pretty it really fits her role > . < excited for this movie ! ! ! but it ' s still on october though : /\nover the last decade , nina simone has resurfaced as a media icon , muse , and musical mother for contemporary artists and activists . much like simone\u2019s own genre - defying style during her life , twenty - first century engagements with simone range in style and format , including but not limited to broadway musicals , hip hop samples , oscar nominated documentaries , red carpet fashion tributes , and countless tribute concerts and song covers . in other words , simone not only inspires , but in fact shapes american culture in ways that were unimaginable during her peak in the 1960s .\nas a supplement to the fall 2017 close - up on beyonc\u00e9 , black camera invites submissions for a close - up devoted to jay - z . recently inducted into the songwriters hall of fame by president barack obama , jay - z is one of the most influential rap artists of all time . with the release of 4 : 44 , jay - z has once again shifted the terrain of hip - hop and his own image . revealed as a philanderer in beyonc\u00e9\u2019s ground - breaking lemonade , jay - z embraces vulnerability and responsibility in his fourteenth album . how does this new perspective elucidate a rapper once renowned for his masculinist lyrics and aggressive posture ? this close - up aims to explore the evolving image and enterprises of jay - z , an artist whose persona is inextricable from his myriad business ventures and entertainment projects . we seek essays that address all stages of his lengthy career from his celebrated debut reasonable doubt to the later volumes of in my lifetime which chronicle his difficult early life to his later masterpieces , the blueprint and the black album . how has his music shaped contemporary hip - hop culture and the political valences of rap ? in what ways can we reconcile his capitalist ethics and hustler persona with his critique of racialized generational wealth and extensive philanthropic endeavors ? how have his views on gender , sexuality and feminism shifted since the birth of his daughters and his mother\u2019s public announcement that she is a lesbian ? what does his political activity and entrepreneurship mean in the age of black lives matter ? we especially welcome essays that address jay - z\u2019s performance aesthetics and visual representation on stage live and in music videos .\nthis close - up therefore invites a consideration of caribbean cinema as a dialogue across borders , both aesthetically and thematically . if \u201ccaribbean cinema\u201d is less a given category than an aspirational process , how might we start to trace its contours ? are there any perceptible influences on recent films from earlier films ? is there a subversive element in the recycling of hollywood genres\u2014action , crime , romance ? how is the relationship between the caribbean and its diasporas , characterized by shifting spaces and artistic mobility , manifested in cinematic practice , audience desire and consumption patterns ? how might we account for the persistence of violence as a trope in so many caribbean films ? contributors are encouraged to take varied approaches\u2014for example , reading films from different territories against each other , comparing contemporary production practices , interrogating individual works in the context of current social concerns , or bringing to bear indigenous theoretical paradigms ( yao ramesar\u2019s caribbeing , glissant\u2019s politics of relation , etc . ) in the analysis of film as text .\nfor her next role , hathaway took on an english accent to play literary legend jane austen . the historical romance , becoming jane ( 2007 ) , focuses on the relationship between austen and a young irish lawyer , played by james mcavoy . she demonstrated her range on this and other films , including get smart ( 2008 ) , a big - screen adaptation of the similarly titled hit tv comedy , in which hathaway stars opposite steve carell ; and the 2008 thriller passengers . hathaway & apos ; s role as kym in the movie rachel getting married ( 2008 ) earned her an academy award nod ( best actress ) .\nhathaway returned to lighter fare with the romantic comedy bride wars in 2009 , starring opposite kate hudson . the film received a lukewarm reception from movie goers , earning more than $ 58 million at the box office . the following year , hathaway had a supporting role in the ensemble comedy valentine & apos ; s day , which also featured jennifer garner , topher grace , ashton kutcher and jessica biel .\nthese few things withstanding . . . it was a genuine movie . there was a good story here . . . very touching . both sakurai and kururugi had deep emotional issues , and they way they healed each other was nice . i like how helpless sakurai was in falling in love with kururugi . . . when in the beginning his behavior was like that of a school boy with a crush . . . provoking kururugi to get reactions from her .\nkururugi yuni is a smart high school student . she excels in all subjects except for english . a new english teacher begins work at yuni ' s high school . his name is sakurai haruka and he is very handsome . yuni begins to receive one -

earned by wife barbara stanwyck , who was then the highest paid woman in hollywood . while she scooped $ 323 , 333 in 1943 , taylor was granted a mere $ 4 , 000 p / w in his may contract of the same year ( although it did contain a clause making him the first star to be protected against inflation ) . yet , taylor struggled to relaunch his career after war service and he alienated many by naming names before the house committee on un - american activities inquiry into communism in the film colony . consequently , even though he headlined the fourth highest grossing film to date - quo vadis , which took over $ 12m in 1951 - he was only awarded a weekly $ 6 , 000 under his next mgm deal in january 1955 .\ni remember yamapi and this girl promote this movie on tv shows . i didn ' t watch it in a movie theater and now i ' m glad i didn ' t . the plot seemed okay but how they present the love story seemed weird . kururugi seemed to be a psycho . sakurai - sensei is a handsome pervert . lol ! it ' s weird that kururugi is living with a male relative . awkward ! her parents seemed to not care about her at all . in a scale of 1 - 10 , i ' ll give this a 5 and only because yamapi is the lead character , if not , a lot lower . boring !\npenn , as brad jr . , isn ' t really criminal material , but he ' s a misfit and an outcast , and absolutely nothing is happening for him in his own life . he drifts into the orbit of his father , looking for love and also looking for action . he ' s the leader of a young gang of his own , and his father assigns the kids to a couple of easy jobs , getting them ready for the big time . but when the big time turns dangerous and it looks as if the gang might be busted , the walken character is absolutely prepared to save his own skin , even at the cost of betraying his child .\nsakurai , himself never expresses any concern about where yuni ' s parents are and how they would feel about him wanting to marry her . . . it just never comes up . the writer and director missed the mark here . the reappearance of the ex - girlfriend mirei ( new teacher ) and her being jealous of a child and wanting to start dating again after how many years of absence from each other ' s life . not realistic at all . . . oh , by the way lets start dating again because i know you ' re in love with a teenaged girl at this school and i can ' t stand myself for being jealous of her . oh and i told her guardian so he could break you up . . . .\nsomewhat torn about this . the directing , look and acting is top - notch , no doubt about it . especially the huge battle scenes are impressive , disgusting and engaging , almost rivaling saving private ryan ' s . the beginning does take its time introducing our protagonist and his early life . his ultimate engagement is unbelievable and the definition of a hero . while you feel some parts may be a bit exaggerated , the actual quotes the movie ends with prove many details right . on the other side , the film is neither particularly subtle about doss ' belief nor in making monsters out of the enemy . the final taking of hacksaw ridge is portrayed rather questionably . still , doss ' unimaginable heroism is a story worth telling .\nharuka goes to her house and signals her to go out . they go to a secluded beach and there haruka shares a piece of his past . his dad was a sales agent . dad was always busy at work but when he\u2019s home , he\u2019ll tell silly lies . one of which is seeing a blue sunset . when haruka was 12 , his dad committed suicide . basically , that\u2019s the main reason he hates lies . anyways , he didn\u2019t bring her there for his sob stories but to propose marriage . since she\u2019s asking him to prove his love , a marriage proposal is the only solution . he doesn\u2019t mind quitting his job but is more concerned of yuni\u2019s situation . if the school finds out , she may be expelled . so until she graduates , they remain student and teacher . though caught in off guard , yuni says yes . everything is clear and the boundary between the teacher and his student is razed .\nsometimes it ' s not what you know , but who you know . brazilian film expert yma de almeida identified walter avancini ' s 1978 tele - adaptation of jorge amado ' s novel , a morte e a morte de quincas berro d ' \u00e1gua / the death and death of quincas berro d ' \u00e1gua , which screened on channel four in 1986 . published in 1958 , amado ' s novel was a scathing assault on the brazilian bourgeoisie that also combined pioneering elements of regionalism and magic realism . the tv movie starred paulo gracindo as the respectable family man and public employee who abandons his comfortable existence to live among the marginalised people of bahia and it is the drunks and hookers who give him the raucously fond send - off that culminates in his body being lost at sea . s\u00e9rgio machado , who debuted so impressively with lower city in 2005 , is currently completing a new version for the big screen .\nthe story has much to say , and , as best i can make out , nicholas kazan ' s script makes at least some attempt to say some of it . the relationship between a father and son , how young men become criminals , the balance between family loyalty , love , and principles , and any number of other worthy themes suggest themselves . unfortunately , foley seems to have no interest in any of these themes , nor in any other theme . foley is interested in camera moves , camera angles , lighting effects , montage for montage ' s sake . he devotes his attention to making sure that something odd is done , technically , with each and every shot , and that each oddity is unique . i am impressed by his imagination ( which , i guess , was the idea ) , but , as a filmmaker , foley seems to be a flop . he has little idea how to tell the story , or perhaps just no interest . he doesn ' t really play fair with his performers , so what look to be good performances from penn , walken , and others emerge as disjointed glimpses peeking around technical wizardry .\nenter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\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 -

mingled ? what was special about the mississippi delta co - mingling of various cultural backgrounds which sparked the creation of jazz ? even amidst a segregated , oppressive and divisive culture , what glimmer of hope for a free - and - equal society came out of the civil war ( and specifically the emancipation declaration ) which led to the creation of an art form which clearly blended different cultural styles ? i think an honest reckoning of issues behind many of these questions supports the \u201camerican cultural phenomenon\u201d argument and frames the analysis from a cultural vs a racial perspective . to me , that seems to be a represent a more accurate historical approach to the narrative on the evolution of jazz .\nnext , jazz as played by black artists who grew up in the deep south sound differently than those from northern solid middle class backgrounds like miles davis . similarly white musicians from , say , new orleans , sound different than bix beiderbeck .\nit ' s been more than eight decades since show boat -

american art form : blacks have gotten their due as the art form\u2019s primary creators . no credible critic , musician , or music curriculum would state otherwise . at the same time , it is equally true that white musicians have made and continue to make great contributions to jazz . while the role evans and other whites have played should not be exaggerated to move the music\u2019s black known and unknown bards to the back of the bus , giving caucasians appropriate acknowledgment does not threaten the african -

intentioned\nas an effort to deal with legitimate concerns about the damage caused by unauthorized disclosures , but\nbadly flawed\nin that it was\noverbroad\nand posed a risk of\nunnecessarily chill [ ing ] legitimate activities that are at the heart of a democracy .\n263 president clinton explained his view that\nthe rationalizations are always handy , and they always serve their purpose , which is to prevent us from holding up mirrors to ourselves . if we\u2019re going to keep asking why our heroes are so dishonorable , we should ask why they feel emboldened and entitled to act that way in the first place . it\u2019s only after the ovation dies down and the next ugly story breaks , it seems , that we realize something : when the collection plate comes around or the church service ends , sometimes the best thing to do is to sit on your hands .\nthe proposed provision would have penalized the disclosure of any material designated as classified for any reason related to national security , regardless of whether the violator intended that the information be delivered to and used by foreign agents ( in contrast to 50 u . s . c . section 783 ) . it would have been the first law to penalize disclosure of information to entities other than foreign governments or their equivalent solely because it is classified , without a more specific definition of the type of information covered . 259 in short , the provision would have made it a crime to disclose or attempt to disclose classified information 260 to any person who does not have authorized access to such information , with exceptions covering disclosures to article iii courts , or to the senate or house committees or members , and authorized disclosures to persons acting on behalf of a foreign power ( including an international organization ) . the provision would have amended the espionage laws in title 18 by expanding the scope of information they cover . the proposed language was intended to make it easier for the government to prosecute unauthorized disclosures of classified information , or\nleaks\nof information , that might not amount to a violation of current statutes . the language was also intended to ease the government ' s burden of proof in such cases by eliminating the need\nto prove that damage to the national security has or will result from the unauthorized disclosure ,\n261 substituting a requirement to show that the unauthorized disclosure was of information that\nis or has been properly classified\nunder a statute or executive order .\ngeneral courts - martial in the florida national guard may be convened by order of the president of the united states , the governor , or the adjutant general as delegated by the governor , and such courts may adjudge a fine not exceeding $ 500 , confinement not in excess of 200 days ; forfeiture of all pay and allowances ; reprimand , dismissal , or dishonorable discharge from the service ; and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade or any intermediate grade for enlisted personnel . any two or more of such punishments may be combined in the sentence authorized in this section .\nthe espionage act on its face applies to the receipt and unauthorized dissemination of national defense information , which has been interpreted broadly to cover closely held government materials related to u . s . military operations , facilities , and personnel . although cases involving disclosures of classified information to the press have not been common , it seems clear that courts have regarded such disclosures by government employees to be conduct that enjoys no first amendment protection , regardless of the motives of the divulger or the value the release of such information might impart to public discourse . 269 the question remains open as to whether the publication of unlawfully obtained information by the media can be punished consistent with the first amendment . 270 thus , although unlawful acquisition of information might be subject to criminal prosecution with few first amendment implications , the publication of that information may be protected . whether the publication of national security information can be punished may turn on the value of the information to the public weighed against the likelihood of identifiable harm to national security , arguably a more difficult case for prosecutors to make .\nhistorically , the espionage act and other relevant statutes have been used almost exclusively to prosecute ( 1 ) individuals with access to classified information ( and a corresponding obligation to protect it ) who make it available to foreign agents , and ( 2 ) foreign agents who obtain classified information unlawfully while present in the united states . while prosecutions appear to be on the rise , disclosures of classified information to the press have been punished as crimes less frequently , and the government has never prosecuted a traditional news organization for publishing classified information that it received as a result of a leak .\nthe term veteran as defined in the hea , means any individual who , a ) has engaged in active duty in the united states army , navy , air force , marines , or coast guard ; and b ) was released under a condition other than dishonorable . previously , the department took the position that applicants who fraudulently entered military service did not meet the definition of a veteran for title iv purposes . generally , someone who fraudulently enters active duty in the u . s . armed forces cannot be considered a veteran for title iv purposes ; however , when the period of active duty service is recognized by the u . s . armed forces and the department of veterans affairs , this may not be true .\ncommentators frequently contrast the patchwork nature of u . s . law with the united kingdom ' s official secrets act , 1989 , c . 6 ( u . k . ) , which more broadly criminalizes the dissemination and retention of numerous classes of government information . see , e . g . , david e . pozen , the leaky leviathan : why the government condemns and condones unlawful disclosures of information , 127 harv . l . rev . 512 , 626 ( 2013 ) ; william e . lee , deep background : journalists , sources , and the perils of leaking , 57 am . u . l . rev . 1453 , 1466 -

gotten gains and property used to facilitate the offense . 51 in sum , section 794 treats the transmission of national security information with intent to aid the enemy or a foreign government more severely than other types of disclosures . 52\nprior to this briefing , gonzales had made two attempts to visit bases with working ancient builder race technology . goode shares that when gonzales was still staying with the inner - earth anshar ( prior to this meeting with the wrangler ) , he and the priestess kaaree traveled to venus and a base near saturn where he was turned away by a non - living sentinel who said he lacked humility . during the venus encounter , gonzales was able to glimpse some ancient builder race technology that used a kind of holographic glass to project a series of ascending symbols on a vertical incline . after gonzales\u2019 failed attempts to gain entry to these bases , he and kaaree returned to the anshar city , and shortly after , he was asked to leave due to his suspicious and dishonorable behavior . after goode\u2019s meeting with him and the wrangler in the kuiper belt , gonzales was sent to the mayan breakaway group for healing .\none would think . yet thousands bought tickets to that half - baked halfcourt game anyway , confident ( or at least hopeful ) that iverson would put on another show . and for all the backlash that the phillies either received or anticipated in the wake of monday\u2019s disclosures about rose , it\u2019s worth noting how many people ( based on the responses to the initial news story and to bob ford\u2019s recent column on the matter ) were content to look past rose\u2019s alleged depravity . that willful blindness and those innocent - until - proven - guilty cries were especially rich in this situation , given that rose did not deny his relationship with the woman\u2014his defense was that he believed her to be 16 years old\u2014and that the relationship was revealed through publicly available documents in a lawsuit that rose himself filed . the only person who wronged rose here is rose .\nthe intelligence identities protection act , 50 u . s . c . section 3121 , provides for the protection of information concerning the identity of covert intelligence agents . 75 it generally covers persons authorized to know the identity of such agents or who learn the identity of covert agents as a result of their general access to classified information , 76 but can also apply to a person who learns of the identity of a covert agent through a\npattern of activities intended to identify and expose covert agents\nand discloses the identity to any individual not authorized to access classified information with reason to believe that such disclosures would impair u . s . foreign intelligence efforts . 77 for those without authorized access , the crime is subject to a fine or imprisonment for a term of not more than three years . 78 to be convicted , a violator must have knowledge that the information identifies a covert agent whose identity the united states is taking affirmative measures to conceal . 79 to date , there have been no reported cases interpreting the statute , but two convictions pursuant to guilty pleas have resulted from the statute . 80\nat least one court has read these two elements together to require that the prosecution must prove that the defendant disclosed the information\nwith a bad faith purpose to either harm the united states or to aid a foreign government .\nunited states v . rosen , 445 f . supp . 2d 602 , 626 ( e . d . va . 2006 ) . later courts confronting the intent issue have differentiated this case to conclude that the\nreason to believe\nstandard does not require an intent to do harm . see united states v . drake , 818 f . supp . 2d 909 , 916 ( d . md . 2011 ) ( distinguishing intent requirements between disclosures involving tangible documents and those involving intangible information ) ; united states v . kiriakou , 898 f . supp . 2d 921 , 924 -

conspirator of mr . kim .\n251 although rosen was never charged with a crime in connection with his alleged receipt of classified information , the affidavit ' s language suggesting he may be charged for violating the espionage act was met with considerable criticism in the press . 252 the backlash was reported to have contributed to the department of justice ' s decision to revise its policies for investigating leaks . 253 the new guidelines , issued in july 2013 , provide that\nmembers of the news media will not be subject to prosecution based solely on newsgathering activities .\n254\nex -

central intelligence agency raid that killed bin laden , the founder of al qaeda , in may 2011 .\nchad kolton , who was the spokesman for the director of national intelligence in the bush administration and now represents the opsec group , said that because it was classified as a 501 ( c ) ( 4 ) educational group under tax laws , it was not required to identify its donors . he said the group had raised nearly $ 1 million since june and intended to run television and internet ads , as well as show the video in swing states .\nmr . kolton rejected the comparison with the swift boat advertisements , saying they reflected narrow differences of opinion about mr . kerry\u2019s war record . he said the opsec group had a broader purpose in speaking out against leaks and the politicization of the navy seals and the c . i . a . , and it hoped to keep working after the election . no one who was involved in the swift boat campaign is working with the opsec group , he said .\nasked whether the group was not itself bringing the seals and c . i . a . into the presidential campaign , mr . kolton said that leaks were a bipartisan concern , noting that some democrats , including senator dianne feinstein of california , chairwoman of the intelligence committee , had complained vociferously about them and called for a criminal inquiry .\nof the video\u2019s anti -

- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless september sky ; the twin towers collapsing to the ground ; black smoke billowing up from the pentagon ; the wreckage of flight 93 in shanksville , pennsylvania , where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction .\nand yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world . the empty seat at the dinner table . children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father . parents who would never know the feeling of their child\u2019s embrace . nearly 3 , 000 citizens taken from us , leaving a gaping hole in our hearts .\non september 11 , 2001 , in our time of grief , the american people came together . we offered our neighbors a hand , and we offered the wounded our blood . we reaffirmed our ties to each other , and our love of community and country . on that day , no matter where we came from , what god we prayed to , or what race or ethnicity we were , we were united as one american family .\nwe were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice . we quickly learned that the 9 / 11 attacks were carried out by al qaeda - - an organization headed by osama bin laden , which had openly declared war on the united states and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe . and so we went to war against al qaeda to protect our citizens , our friends , and our allies .\nover the last 10 years , thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals , we\u2019ve made great strides in that effort . we\u2019ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense . in afghanistan , we removed the taliban government , which had given bin laden and al qaeda safe haven and support . and around the globe , we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al qaeda terrorists , including several who were a part of the 9 / 11 plot .\nyet osama bin laden avoided capture and escaped across the afghan border into pakistan . meanwhile , al qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world .\nand so shortly after taking office , i directed leon panetta , the director of the cia , to make the killing or capture of bin laden the top priority of our war against al qaeda , even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt , dismantle , and defeat his network .\nthen , last august , after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community , i was briefed on a possible lead to bin laden . it was far from certain , and it took many months to run this thread to ground . i met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin laden hiding within a compound deep inside of pakistan . and finally , last week , i determined that we had enough intelligence to take action , and authorized an operation to get osama bin laden and bring him to justice .\ntoday , at my direction , the united states launched a targeted operation against that compound in abbottabad , pakistan . a small team of americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability . no americans were harmed . they took care to avoid civilian casualties . after a firefight , they killed osama bin laden and took custody of his body .\nfor over two decades , bin laden has been al qaeda\u2019s leader and symbol , and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies . the death of bin laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation\u2019s effort to defeat al qaeda .\nyet his death does not mark the end of our effort . there\u2019s no doubt that al qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us . we must \u2013 - and we will - - remain vigilant at home and abroad .\nas we do , we must also reaffirm that the united states is not \u2013 - and never will be - \u2013 at war with islam . i\u2019ve made clear , just as president bush did shortly after 9 / 11 , that our war is not against islam . bin laden was not a muslim leader ; he was a mass murderer of muslims . indeed , al qaeda has slaughtered scores of muslims in many countries , including our own . so his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity .\nover the years , i\u2019ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within pakistan if we knew where bin laden was . that is what we\u2019ve done . but it\u2019s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with pakistan helped lead us to bin laden and the compound where he was hiding . indeed , bin laden had declared war against pakistan as well , and ordered attacks against the pakistani people .\ntonight , i called president zardari , and my team has also spoken with their pakistani counterparts . they agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations . and going forward , it is essential that pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al qaeda and its affiliates .\nthe american people did not choose this fight . it came to our shores , and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens . after nearly 10 years of service , struggle , and sacrifice , we know well the costs of war . these efforts weigh on me every time i , as commander - in - chief , have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one , or look into the eyes of a service member who\u2019s been gravely wounded .\nso americans understand the costs of war . yet as a country , we will never tolerate our security being threatened , nor stand idly by when our people have been killed . we will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies . we will be true to the values that make us who we are . and on nights like this one , we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al qaeda\u2019s terror : justice has been done .\ntonight , we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who\u2019ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome . the american people do not see their work , nor know their names . but tonight , they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice .\nwe give thanks for the men who carried out this operation , for they exemplify the professionalism , patriotism , and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country . and they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that september day .\nfinally , let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9 / 11 that we have never forgotten your loss , nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores .\nand tonight , let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9 / 11 . i know that it has , at times , frayed . yet today\u2019s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the american people .\nthe cause of securing our country is not complete . but tonight , we are once again reminded that america can do whatever we set our mind to . that is the story of our history , whether it\u2019s the pursuit of prosperity for our people , or the struggle for equality for all our citizens ; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad , and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place .\nlet us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power , but because of who we are : one nation , under god , indivisible , with liberty and justice for all .\nthank you . may god bless you . and may god bless the united states of america . end 11 : 44 p . m . edt\nseated from left , james clapper , director of national intelligence , national security advisor tom donilon , cia director leon panetta , admiral mike mullen , chairman of the joint chiefs of staff , secretary of state hillary rodham clinton , and vice president joe biden listen as president barack obama makes a statement on osama bin laden in the east room of the white house may 1 , 2011 .

bad . unfortunately , the camera trickery is glaringly cheesy in some shots , greatly undercutting the illusion of twin brothers in the same frame . when the two brothers first meet in a hotel lavatory , it\u2019s easy to see how two shots have been overlapped . it\u2019s even easier to see that , when they\u2019re supposed to be looking at each other , they don\u2019t quite make eye contact .\nchan ' s performance is solid , but the editing of the film to create the\ntwin\neffect is obvious . the badly -

famous conductor .\nother complications arise because both twins are able to sense each other\u2019s movements and reactions . for example , while boomer races in a speedboat , john ma rocks uncontrollably in his restaurant seat . the psychic bonding comes in handy on several occasions , most notably in pic\u2019s most inspired sequence . as boomer frantically fakes his way through conducting an orchestra , his movements echo those of his twin \u2014 who\u2019s listening to the concert on a car radio while driving a newly escaped gangster away from pursuing police cars .\nfast - forward three decades \u2014 well , ok , 27 years \u2014 and john ma , the twin who made it to america , is a world - famous concert pianist and orchestra conductor . back in hong kong , boomer , the other brother , is a garage mechanic with a penchant for racing and a talent for butt - kicking . blissfully unaware that he even has a sibling , boomer treasures his close friendship with tyson ( teddy robin ) , a short , smart - mouthed fellow who is more trouble than he\u2019s worth .\nafter a commercially successful foray into hollywood with last year ' s rush hour , martial arts superstar jackie chan returns to the more familiar streets of hong kong for this action - comedy , in which he plays twin brothers separated at birth . one , a classical musician ( the film seems confused as to whether he ' s a pianist or a conductor ) , returns to the city for the first time in years for a concert , while the other , a garage attendant , is getting into a scrape with local hoodlums . predictable confusion and mayhem ensue as the two brothers suffer multiple cases of mistaken identity .\non holidays in hong kong , mrs ma gives birth to identical twins . a criminal in the same hospital attempts to escape , taking one of the twins hostage . the child is lost during the confusion , and mr and mrs ma return to new york with one child . years later , john ma is a famous conductor and pianist , unaware that his twin brother\nboomer\nis a mechanic / race car driver / bodyguard in hong kong . when john travels to hong kong to give a concert , the twins get caught up in each other ' s business , about which they are anything but experts .\nhong kong , 1965 . newborn twin brothers are separated when a fleeing crook barges through a hospital room , taking one baby as hostage . although the criminal is captured , the child becomes a foundling . raised by a good -

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

[ laughter ] i don\u2019t think young people should be in this business . i started out as a kid and though i think i ' ve become a well - adjusted adult , it was really difficult in a business that is based on things that are transitory and temporary . they\u2019re based on things that i believe are shallow sometimes , many times , what you look like and many of those things , you don\u2019t have control over . this is not a career based on meritocracy . it\u2019s not like becoming a doctor . you go to school to become a doctor and if you get good grades and pass all your exams , you can have a practice . that is not the same thing in this business . you can be the most amazing actor in the world and still be on the unemployment line .\nfor every will smith and angelina jolie , there are literally tens of thousands of other people who are not working and i know every one of us , you have to go into this career thinking , \u201ci will not be one of those people . i will be one of the will smiths and angelina jolies , \u201d but we all say that and not all of us are up there . so somehow , we have to have some sort of , we\u2019ve got to have a foot in the real world and say , in this way i do agree with terrell , that you\u2019ve got to have some sort of passion for it , but the other thing is , just be honest . have your dream , obviously , but also know it\u2019s not based on meritocracy . just because you\u2019re professional , just because you\u2019re talented , just because you\u2019re a wonderful actor does not mean that you\u2019re going to be successful ."]}

respected private school he works for . however , sunsuke namiki ( koji yakusho ) doesn ' t really fit into the crowd the other parents form as he shows in the interviews that he hasn ' t read up on the school and also doesn ' t think much of private schools and the pressure that students have to endure there . for his wife minako ( hiroko yakushimaru ) it is clear , though , that her daughter maika ( arisa makino ) has to be accepted by any means necessary . for this she plays wife and husband with sunsuke even though the two aren ' t together anymore for a while already . sunsuke has an affair with the photographer eriko ( yuko mano ) for some time now and when the woman suddenly turns up at the cottage sunsuke has to ask himself what her motives are exactly . he fears that she wants to force him to divorce his wife and when he wants to meet her at a hotel in the evening he gets a call from his wife who informs him that she killed eriko after being browbeat by her . together with the other families it is decided to cover up the murder as otherwise their children ' s education would be put in jeopardy . under the directon of the surgeon fujima ( akira emoto ) the body and the evidence is put away . however , after some time sunsuke has more and more reasons to ask himself if there weren ' t other motives involved in the murder .\npete dully is excited and grateful to be a part of lakeside theatre and to get to work in , with , and for the benzie area community . pete does all things theatre production and works at columbia college chicago , managing theatre and event venues . pete is also a company member of steep theatre company in chicago , il . favorite lighting design credits include : posh , the life ( and sort of death ) of eric argyle , the knowledge , luther , lakeboat ( steep theatre ) , zastrozzi the master of discipline ( the division theatre ) , and the maids ( writer\u2019s theatre ) .\nthree families rent a lakeside summer cottage and invite a home tutor along for an intensive study session , to get their children into top class junior high schools . one of the fathers , namiki , comes along with his wife , minako , although he is skeptical about putting the children through the whole ordeal of junior high school entrance examinations . then namiki ' s lover , eriko , turns up at the resort . that night namiki visits eriko , but she doesn ' t show up . when he returns to the cottage , he finds all the parents in a state of shock , standing around eriko ' s dead body . they inform him that his wife , minako , killed her . afraid of the possible scandal , they decide to throw the corpse into the lake . reluctantly , namiki agrees , but he doesn ' t believe that minako is the killer . when he finds out that eriko was blackmailing the teacher , he begins to suspect the home tutor of murder . however , the real murderer is the very last person on anyone ' s list of suspects . the film is adapted from a mystery novel of the same title by higashino keigo and directed by eureka and tsukino sabaku ( desert moon ) director , aoyama shinji .\nst . louis county police have twice investigated the death of hupp\u2019s mother , shirley neumann , 77 , on oct . 31 , 2013 . it appeared that she fell to her death through a railing on the balcony of her third -

as - film - buff , who lit up when names of his favorites were mentioned , including alfred hitchcock , david lynch and tai kato . speaking about his own work , though , he was less the enthusiast than the sharp - as - tacks analyst , able to sum up , in a few lucid phrases , exactly what he was about and why .\nmy films are often about how families and other communities are built and fall apart . how one incident can break a community apart . this film is about such a community . it\u2019s also about how strangers relate to each other .\nfor me the mystery element came first , but there were other elements as well . another interviewer told me he didn\u2019t know which genre the film belongs to . that was my intention \u2014 it\u2019s like a horror movie in some ways . there are various elements in it .\nthere\u2019s a black humor that\u2019s almost british , like something hitchcock might have come up with .\nbritish people might think it funny . there\u2019s a hitchcock film called \u201cthe trouble with harry\u201d about an inconvenient corpse \u2014 if it\u2019s found there\u2019ll be trouble , so it has to be hidden .\nyour approach seems to be more distanced , though , more eye - of - god .\nyour casting of koji yakusho is interesting as well . he\u2019s got a warm , tom hanks quality that\u2019s at odds with everything around him .\nthat\u2019s what i paid the most attention to when i was writing the script . an ordinary guy like koji yakusho stands out , but he\u2019s also being absorbed into the group . there\u2019s an american sci - fi film called \u201cthe invasion of the body snatchers\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s as though he\u2019s having his body snatched .\nat the same time , i didn\u2019t want to make a 100 percent horror movie \u2014 i stopped just a bit short .\nin a mystery , the criminal and the dialogue are important . on the other hand , a film is not interesting when you explain everything with words , so i tried to get away from that . if you can create drama from points of view \u2014 from who is looking at whom \u2014 and from the conversations [ between the characters ] , the film becomes more interesting . that was the challenge i had , to create that drama . it\u2019s a story about ordinary people . at first they don\u2019t understand anything \u2014 then they find out little by little . there\u2019s no professional detective . everyone is an amateur . it\u2019s an all - amateur mystery .\nthey all seem like good people \u2014 but they behave as if they\u2019re living in the warring states ( sengoku jidai ) period , when any sort of savagery went .\nthat\u2019s japanese society . the wildness in the [ film\u2019s ] children is like a state of savagery \u2014 not at all like a supposedly advanced civilization . the savagery of human beings hasn\u2019t changed at all \u2014 that\u2019s the truth . people wear masks , but at heart they\u2019re still wild .\nthe one who best expresses that may be akira emoto , as the doctor .\nthe doctor is a real gentleman \u2014 but being a gentleman for him is like wearing a suit . in reality , he\u2019ll do anything . he\u2019s a symbol of this society .\nas you said , that\u2019s a major point of the film \u2014 that seemingly ordinary people can do that sort of thing . but the position of etsushi toyokawa\u2019s teacher is more ambiguous .\nhe\u2019s between the children and the adults . he\u2019s calmly watching what the adults are doing , but he\u2019s also seeing what the children are doing . he knows that the children do what they do as a result of the adults\u2019 actions . he\u2019s standing between the two groups .\ni know that you do both television and films . if you had made this story as a tv drama , would you have shot it any differently ?\nbecause it was a film , i could shoot it the way i wanted . because it was a film , i could do this sort of story and think about this sort of problem seriously .\nthere seems to be a trend now for indies directors from the \u201990s , including you , hirokazu koreeda and takeshi kitano and even takashi miike to make bigger , more commercial films . i suppose that\u2019s a natural process .\nwell , these are interesting directors , so there are producers now who will up their budgets and help them make films that people will come to see .\nyour producer on this film and other past works was takenori sento . he\u2019s known for thinking about the foreign market . what about this film ?\ni thought of it as being for the domestic market . there\u2019s a lot of dialogue , so you end up with a lot of subtitles . for people who only understand english , there are a lot of words to process . the characters speak fast .\nyes , but i don\u2019t really care which . if the producer can say , \u201cthis is going to cannes or berlin or venice , \u201d it\u2019s easier to raise money for the budget . once the money is raised , then i have to make a film we can submit somewhere .\nnow , though , i want to make a film we can take to cannes . cannes is interesting \u2014 something wild always happens when i go there . i enjoy that .\ni\u2019d like to try a melodrama . then a period drama . not a samurai film , but something that takes place in the recent past , during world war ii or the meiji era .\ni\u2019ve talked to several directors recently who said the same thing \u2014 they want to make a period drama .\nthat was the approach of tai kato \u2014 to comment on present -

or even \u00a550 , 000 , 000 . so if he only has x amount of money i ' ll give him this idea ; but if he has y amount of money then i ' ll give him that idea . for me , this is what helps choose what story we ' ll end up making . so , i ' ll have many ideas brewing , but what i set out to do depends ultimately on the budget .\nso how do you get from idea and script to choosing a location ? because it seems like your locations are deliberately and well chosen : for example the broken - down pachinko parlor in wild life , the large parking lots in both that film and eureka etc .\nfirst , i have the script , right ? and then i consult with the location manager about what i want . he then goes off by himself and finds places that he thinks will work . he then comes back and shows me what he ' s found . from there , i choose what i like . in fact , in wild life , this was a really time consuming activity but some of the locations that we found were so great , that i actually went back and rewrote some scenes to take advantage of what we had .\nadditionally , when we were making the film , i was really aware of continuity issues and , for example , when we were shooting in the parking lot , i wanted to be able to see everything in surroundings . nearby we found some emergency stairs from which we could view the whole scene and i liked what i saw , so we used it . but really , it was in large part thanks to the help of my film crew ."]}

) is a great way to acknowledge their special role , as well as surround yourselves with your bffs during dinner . opting for a sweetheart table ? have your wedding party host tables , instead . seat them with their dates and a group of other mutual friends . they should be seated at the third - best tables in the room \u2014 the first is your sweetheart table , the second - best tables are for your parents and the third is your wedding party . near the dance floor , natch !\ni used to have that exact same antenna . it ' s actually pretty decent , but it ' s definitely an outdoor antenna . there are better indoor options available . cheapest and easiest solution would be to put it outdoors and run a line in . when i bought my house , they had coaxial going to each room already and a forgotten digital satellite dish on the roof . i removed the dish and used the dish mast that was already there to mount an outdoor antenna . reception is great except for one iffy pbs station , but i don ' t worry about it too much because it is notoriously low - watt / power . very few people actually get it ota so i ' m kind of in the minority that it works at all . assuming you don ' t own your own house or have an apartment , the next cheapest and easiest solution would be to get a leaf - like antenna like this one : urltoken and then through trial and error , position it on the wall or window and scan for channels . if you ' re not getting the results , reposition , scan , and repeat . seriously , indoor reception can take some time and sometimes moving the antenna just a few inches can make a huge difference . before i put an outdoor antenna , i tried all over the living room wall , and all over the neighboring room before i found a spot where i got the best reception without drops . it ' s possible , it just takes time and effort .\nthe show about our founding fathers reawakened the united states to its own beginnings .\ni have to say i completely disagree with your contention that it is a good thing to completely exclude explicit grammar instruction . it may be true that it is possible to learn grammar inductively , but sla research indicates that it takes children years to master the grammar of their language . even if an adult had that much time , adult brains do not function in the same way as those of children .\nlaura , a young woman from an impoverished desiring to be an actress , finds achieving success to be more of a struggle than she anticipated . she meets the wealthy willard brockton , and seduced by his gifts , realizes she will no longer have to financially struggle if she takes\nthe easiest way\nand become his mistress . while living the high - life of luxury , she meets and falls in love with writer john madison , who forgives her past transgressions as she was so desperate to escape poverty . madison has to leave her to make his fortune to get enough money so they can marry , and while they are separated , laura falls back on hard times . she returns to her wealthy benefactor , brockton , and becomes his mistress . when a wealthy madison returns two months later , he finds out what she has done and rejects her . brockton also abandons her , repulsed by her greed . laura must now find another man to support her or commit suicide .\ni was trying to raise my intonation before pauses , which is a feature of french that occurs much more frequently than in english , but i was overdoing it and applying it to the ends of sentences as well . this made my sentences sound incomplete , and when my teacher trained me to stop doing this , i was told that i sounded way more french .\nstudents attending the school at the time of the accreditation loss face the school closing rather abruptly . this is due to the fact that the federal government does not usually provide financial aid to unaccredited post secondary institutions . the vast majority of these schools are heavily dependent on financial aid and the immediate withdrawal of all government funds guarantees that the school will quickly go bankrupt .\nthe most indulged of all the spoiled lovelies of hollywood during the golden age were the canine actors who worked in films . they had their own hotel\u2014 the hollywood dog training school \u2014where at one time , seventy - five of the best known dogs of the screen lived in tranquil comfort .\nthe very friendly ( also way cooler than me but it & apos ; s fine ! ) staff told me that the essential oil they burn in their muji diffusers is from aesop , just like their soaps and shampoos , which are still hiding in my medicine cabinet for a rainy day . i procured the diffuser and the oil ( maybe the same price per weight as high - end truffle oil ) and now , reader , my apartment smells much more like a fancy hotel room and much less like the anchovy pasta i cooked for dinner last night . bonus points for the fact that , unlike most essential oil diffusers , the muji model is not ugly .\nbut neither of those older generations began saving as early as millennials . transamerica center for retirement studies found that 71 % of millennials eligible for a 401 ( k ) plan participate and that 70 % of millennials began saving at an average age of 22 . by way of comparison , boomers started saving at an average age of 35 .\n3 . try the lottery entry shortcut \u2013 so you don\u2019t forget to enter for ultimate convenience in entering the digital lottery only , download the ham lottery app available from the itunes store . the app , created by lukas thoms , notifies the user when the lottery opens , auto - fills the user\u2019s information and sends a notification when the lottery is closed . it can also be used to enter the lottery for the chicago sit - down production of hamilton .\nwa production have some of the best samples and sounds in the world . the programing and kits are top notch and sound like tracks which are on the beatport charts . i also love the diversity in the samples and styles they have .\nthere\u2019s a very simple way to figure out if you\u2019re spending your time well : if you\u2019re enjoying yourself in your target language , then you\u2019re doing it right . in the end , language learning should be fun . it needs to be fun ; you retain information better when you\u2019re enjoying yourself , and the journey to fluency takes too much time to force yourself through using willpower alone . so enjoy yourself , and play around with new ways to think about the world . see you on the other side .\nthis project and all fastlane tools are in no way affiliated with apple inc . this project is open source under the mit license , which means you have full access to the source code and can modify it to fit your own needs . all fastlane tools run on your own computer or server , so your credentials or other sensitive information will never leave your own computer . you are responsible for how you use fastlane tools .\ngreat read !

off between honey and the fearsome katrina , who ' s played by laurie ann gibson , the movie ' s actual choreographer . but written by alonzo brown and kim watson , the movie ' s too upstanding for interchoreographer skirmishes . in lieu of battles , honey gets a boyfriend ( mekhi phifer ) .\nhoney\ndoesn ' t have a shred of originality ( except for the high -

image of hip - hop itself , with its aggressive celebration of upward mobility and its simultaneous embrace of democratic , street - level authenticity . ' ' honey ' ' brings out the wholesome , affirmative side of the hip - hop aesthetic without being overly preachy , and it offers a winningly utopian view of show - business success without real costs or compromises .\njessica alba plays honey , a sweet and sunny girl who teaches hip -

minded documentaries to uplifting comedies and award - winning films .\nas other reviewers have already pointed out , this film is a million miles away from the rave scene in 1990 . the fashion and music are both completely incorrect for the time . how can somebody making a film get the simple things so wrong ? chris coghill is a clown . he obviously has no first hand experience of the time and has clearly compiled a film from reading accounts from people who weren ' t there either . to add insult to injury his other offering is ' spike island ' . another film in which he gets things completely wrong . there ' s enough material on the internet if you want to see and hear what things were really like in the late 80 ' s / early 90 ' s , just don ' t rely on any of coghill ' s work to paint a true picture . back to the film . not much i can say really . badly acted with a poor plot . the list of mistakes is endless . did the makers not consider watching some videos from the time ? watch how the people danced back then . look at the fashion and the hairstyles . sorry , i ' m starting to rant again . it ' s just so frustrating when someone gets something so simple completely wrong and misleads those who didn ' t experience such a great time in british youth culture . do yourself a favour and save 90 minutes of your life by avoiding this rubbish .\ni was living in manchester & leeds from 1989 to 1993 ( from age 18 to age 22 ) - i thought this film was a brilliant recreation of that time - some of the tunes came a bit later but the soundtrack was amazing - brought back loads of memories for me and my friend ( both in our 40s now ! ) - jack o ' connell plays his part brilliantly right down to the bowl cut hairdo and football gear - i was also part of ibiza ' 90 - i feel that this film represents the time just before the rave scene went overground and people started to make huge amounts of money from drugs and ripping people off - anybody who was up north in ' 90 and part of this scene will know what i mean - a cracking film - brought a real smile to our faces . freedom to party : )\ni ' ve just finished watching this film , and it greatly surpassed my expectations that previous reviews / ratings had given . the film is essentially about a group of mates who decide to host a warehouse rave in the early 90 ' s , realise that they made easy money from partying so continue with it . for a while all goes well until eventually it all gets a bit much for them as fights over drug dealing begin to escalate , with the stress of the situation eventually tearing the characters apart . all in all this film is entertaining to watch , and if you have knowledge of the scene you ' ll easily be reminded of some of the best times of your life . as well as entertaining some of the characters were fantastic , i won ' t go into detail , but you really can ' t help but hate the antagonist , especially as we ' ve all had experiences with people like that , thinking they ' re better than other people and forgetting what made the party great in the first place . this film isn ' t perfect , but definitely worth watching if you enjoyed human traffic , although it is noticeably darker\nflynn : we have a film called \u201ctree\u201d that is one of the more remarkable vr experiences i\u2019ve had . no spoilers , but there are a lot of different sensory elements to it \u2014 it\u2019s a fully immersive experience of being a 150 - year - old - tree in the rainforest .\nchadwick : the collaboration between the festival programming and the forum programming is remarkable . we\u2019re putting together films that have synergies , with q - and - as , where we don\u2019t just slate a film but see the films as part of a larger conversation on the art of the real .\ndennis perkins is a freelance writer who lives on the west end with his lovely wife emily , where they watch all the movies ever made . when not digging up stories about the maine film scene , he can be found writing for the av club and elsewhere . the rest of the time , he ' s worrying about the red sox .\nwhy chris coghill even attempted this as a film is beyond me . to say it ' s a ' poor man ' s human traffic ' or ' an account of the rave scene as seen by your great - aunt ' are complete understatements . it ' s features range from bad acting to badly chosen music ( it ' s meant to be 1990 , and half the tunes are from ' 92 onwards ) i ' m surprised i lasted watching it as long as i did . i put this down to being ill and couldn ' t be bothered to move . it ' s also a who ' s - who of annoying telly actors . . . i ' m surprised coghill didn ' t cast himself . imdb say i must write ten lines about this film , but i ' m really struggling without swearing . it ' s bad . . . don ' t watch it . . . human traffic made me miss the 90s , if this film was true - to - life it would make me feel like i had missed the 90s .\nwell i ' ve seen it and was thoroughly entertained , its not a documentary on the music as some of these comments seem to want , just a fun journey of two lads who get caught up in the rave / club scene . if you bother to watch the film you ' ll see why the ( fantastic ) music spans a few years ! !\nour annual celebration of the alt - wonderful world of artist film is crammed with special guests , premieres and discussions . we launch with artist clara casian and musician robin richard\u2019s new collaboration , birdsong \u2013 stories from pripyat , featuring footage captured in the famously abandoned \u2018ghost city\u2019 adjacent to the chernobyl power plant blended with archive material and unique soundtrack by a live quartet .\na short satisfying romp . deceptively satisfying as the ending is not so . i really got to like the characters and would have hoped for a better resolve , alas the pill bashing , money grubbing , bouncer smashing film came to a very bad ending . fine good - looking believable cast and a great development of the relationships between characters , especially between matt and dylan who i enjoyed watching as a fun boyish pair . there was a lot of good music , pretty girls and heavy drugs which made for an exciting yet hardly novel adventure . i ' m not sure if i recommend this film as it ' s finalle isn ' t really a finalle atall . it ' s like a really well built up tune that once fully ascended drops into nothing but a whistle and rolling credits .\nsean flynn : there\u2019s been a big growth in terms of artist support programs , like the camden / tfi retreat ( in collaboration with the tribeca film institute ) , and we\u2019ve launched a collaboration with kickstarter and the school of visual arts in new york to help filmmakers of color travel here to connect with those in the industry . just more projects and more support for artists in their creative process .\nconsidering house music\u2019s far - reaching impact , worthwhile film representations have been few and far between . michael winterbottom\u2019s \u201c24 hour party people\u201d ( 2002 ) , also set in manchester , captured the scene as part of its lively chronicle of seminal record label factory . justin kerrigan\u2019s fondly remembered \u201chuman traffic\u201d ( 1999 ) eschewed origin - story nostalgia , opting instead for a celebration of a lost weekend in cardiff , wales .\nfirst off , let me say that i ' m absolutely shocked that this is rated only 4 . 8 / 10 . this movie is bloody fantastic . i can guarantee that this will become a cult film in the future the same way requiem for a dream is today . while not without flaws , this movie has so much to offer someone looking for a good time . it starts out with the 2 main characters dillon and matt getting into the uk underground rave scene . they meet up with captain awesome and begin hosting their own raves . that ' s when the fun begins . there are so many twists and turns , and epic moments in the film that i won ' t spoil anything . give this movie a chance and you may find that you really enjoyed it , a guilty pleasure with a great ending .\nalso , \u201cheroin ( e ) \u201d is a short documentary by elaine sheldon that\u2019s been picked up by netflix about three women on the front lines of the opioid crisis in west virginia . it\u2019s the best film in years on this story , it has parallels to what\u2019s going on in maine , and we\u2019re bringing in front - line leaders in maine for a discussion about the novel conversations and solutions being done already in the state .\non the eighth and final day of the spring showcase , the closeout film will be gook , directed by justin chon ( the twilight saga , 21 & over , seoul searching ) . this asian - american dramedy takes place on april 29 , 1992 , the day of the los angeles riots . it follows eli and kamilla , two individuals caught between the black - asian divide exacerbated by the mainstream media and the frustrations of poverty .\nthis film is far better than i expected it to be . i thought it would be ok having read some of the press reviews , but the storyline was far better , the characters interesting , intriguing and you definitely cared what happened to them as it got darker . ok i ' ve never been to a rave or taken the drugs , but am of that generation - but have been to plenty of clubs , all night parties etc so think they recreated ' the scene ' ok . it was very well shot & edited , and some really cool little bits of camera action that take things a bit further on than guy ritchie might do to tie trips abroad etc nicely into the rest of the film . saw it on dvd -

hughes\u2019 matt , who briefly narrates , proves an unexceptional point of identification . despite having been apparently inspired by fables from clubland\u2019s rich history , several plot - points fail to convince , while the film lacks the wild energy that might more easily permit instances of \u201cprint the legend\u201d embroidering . contributing the most vivid character , and the most persuasively interesting performance , is batt as the quietly menacing john .\ni saw this film in the local dvd hire shop and thought ' wow ' this looks good acid house music , 1990 , the guy out of eden lake , it should be good . this film could have been amazing , there were too many anachronisms ( the phone box , the bank notes , the vehicles that can be seen on the amsterdam scene and the majority of the soundtrack ! notably nakasaki from 1995 ) . the warehouse scenes were poor , no gurners , no sweaters no wide eyed crazy dancers . the costumes could have been better i was expecting acid face t shirts , shell suits , baggy jeans and some curtains or mushroom haircuts . on the plus side i liked dylan ' s hair do , the acting was good from the main characters , john the rat and his mob looked the part . younger audiences will probably enjoy this but as someone who was around in 1990 wearing a shell suit and listening to tunes on a walkman i wanted more .\nindie studio filmrise quietly dropped a trailer today for a new james franco thriller , the vault , which is set to drop on - demand on september 1 . normally this kind of trailer / imminent release date is a one - two punch signifying . . . bluntly . . . the movie may not be all that good . but what starts out as a very\nbeen there , done that\n- looking film takes a major turn , and i & apos ; m extremely here for it . here we go :\ni don ' t think they nailed the drug scene accurately , but its a cool film none the less . i liked the music and sound track . i liked the venues and different locations . the plot was easy to follow and i didn ' t get bored at all . difficult to compete with the original human traffic movie but i collect clubbing movies so i can happily add this one to my movies shelf ; - ) i don ' t really have much more to say about it . i have no idea why i must write 10 lines of review .\nfowlie : immersion is what you can have here . with a festival pass , you can bounce from a film to a master class to a reception to a party . it\u2019s one community built up around all this programming , and the pieces are more integrated than ever before . but there\u2019s also a reason why we decided to start the festival in a small town and then grow it \u2014 we wanted to provide accessibility . we\u2019re growing larger , and deeper , with more filmmakers and more strands of different types of filmmaking , but we\u2019re still where anyone can plug in \u2014 for one or two screenings or for the whole festival \u2014 and have a transformative experience .\nas far as i , m concerned the film was cool it gave an idea as to how impulsive and mental the seen was whether it be rave , acid hordcare , jungle , it all came from the same thinking of the freedom to party and the music was mad mental and still brings a big gurning grin to my face just thinking and listening to it even now , and whether it be 1988 - 89 or later , cos it was a time when girls stoped dancing round there handbags and when white man found out he could dance lol so . . . . . . . . . does it really matter on being anal about dates , cos if you can remember then you really was not there .\ncharming little bit of early 90 ' s nostalgia that deserves far more than the 3 out of 10 currently being offered up by imdb users . i can only assume that the people giving this film low ratings were not the people who were partying in the early 90 ' s - if they were they ' d be rating it far higher just from the nostalgia perspective . great soundtrack that pretty much corresponded chronologically ( except for kendo nagasaki which was a much later track , but hey its a great track so who ' s complaining ! ! ) . no where near as dark as trainspotting and less schmaltzy than human traffic this is well worth a watch if you are looking for a trip down memory lane or if you fancy an glimpse of how it was .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\n\u00a9 2018 time out england limited and affiliated companies owned by time out group plc . all rights reserved . time out is a registered trademark of time out digital limited .\nour site uses cookies . by continuing to use this site you are agreeing to our cookie policy .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nevery turn karl golden\u2019s cheeky -

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 -

fledged musical which also dealt with a genre of mystery and romance . you would see the prominence of music in his later movies like sindhu bhairavi , unnal mudiyum thambi , azhagan , pudhu pudhu arthangal and many more . music in most of his movies were composed by m . s viswanathan . in sindhu bhairavi he joined with ilayaraja . he had introduced a r rahman in his production venture roja directed by maniratnam . a r rahman also composed music for the movie duet directed by kb sir .\nputhu puthu arthangal tamil movie song , guruvayoorappa song , featuring rahman , geetha and sithara . music by ilayaraja and directed by k . balachander guruvayurappa\n, singer s . p . balasubrahmanyam , k . s . chithra\nin 1989 kb directed ( produced by kavithalaya , kb ' s in house production house ) pudhu pudhu arthangal . ir was the music director and since the main hero is a singer , ir has given some ever lasting music for the same and was keen on doing the rr also . kb known for his stinginess ( rather , cutting costs ) wanted to do away with rr and planned to fill with ir ' s previous rr as fillers and seeked ir ' s approval citing various reasons . though ir was not keen he reluctantly agreed . the film was released and the music was big hit ( one of the biggest hits of ir ) . experts could notice the rr was not up to the mark and even had some rr from film varumiyin niram sivappu ( music by msv ) . ir was unhappy and this was the first seed of discontent .\nagain when the television boom set in , he did his first serial , jayakanthan ' s ` ` parisukku pogalam ' ' and k . balachander ' s ` ` rail sneham ' ' . it was during the making of ` ` rail sneham ' ' that balachander asked him to dub for rehman for the film ` ` pudhu pudhu arthangal ' ' . ` ` my voice has definitely been my plus point and many compliment me for the power of my vocal chords , ' ' he says . some time ago dubbing english films in tamil was not as common as it is today . when ` ` lion king ' ' was to be dubbed , the voices of ` ` nizhhalgal ' ' ravi and arvind swamy were chosen from among 400 people , he tells you . ` ` the entire hollywood crew appreciated our voices . it was an unforgettable moment for me , ' ' ravi continues .\nshe went on doing memorable films in tamil such as pudhu vasantham . \u201ci was lucky to be part of several hit films in telugu and kannada as well , \u201d she says . \u201ci may have missed out on some malayalam films but i have no regrets ; it has been fun learning different languages . \u201d\nputhu puthu arthangal -

grade flicks and a starring role in a television marketing show .\nwith the students not giving in , the protest spilled out onto the streets in kerala too . on wednesday , musician shahabaz aman led a protest at mananchira in kozhikode . on thursday , film - makers rajeev ravi , amal neerad and joy mathew and artist riyas komu led the protests in kochi . over the weekend , such protests are set to happen in thiruvananthapuram , thrissur and other places , with participation from many filmmakers who are part of the large clan of ftii alumni in the state .\nthe only discordant note was struck by actor suresh gopi , whose appointment as the head of the national film development corporation has been criticised as another instance of saffronisation . he said that the protest at the ftii should be suppressed and that students should not have the rights to question appointments . the ire expectedly turned against him too .\nat the protest at the ftii too , there\u2019s a strong malayali presence with graffiti of john abraham and others accompanied with revolutionary slogans on display .\nthe action is taking place online too as students are digging up old film clips of gajendra chouhan , some from soft porn flicks , and sharing it widely . some badly made short films by two other new appointees eulogising the prime minister have also become a hit online .\n( reporting by p . k . ajith kumar , s . r . praveen )\nshe was a successful heroine a few years ago . today she is one of the top multi - lingual dubbing artistes . saritha , who proved her potential in several films , is a busy dubbing artiste today . in fact , at the time of this interview she was dubbing for jyotika for the telugu version of ` ` dumm . . dumm . . dumm ' ' and had to steal a few minutes in order to talk . several small and big screen actors and actresses take up dubbing at some stage . . . of course , only if they fill the bill in the vocal area . one reason , you surmise , could probably be dwindling acting chances .\n` ` i began dubbing even when i was a busy actress . i used to balance my acting and dubbing assignments . if it was acting during the day , my evenings were spent at the dubbing theatre . ' '\nsaritha gives her voice for heroines in tamil , telugu and kannada . ` ` i have also dubbed for one malayalam film for nagma . ' ' with marriage and children acting came to a halt , but not dubbing . it kept her in touch with the industry . ` ` this way i didn ' t miss acting much . because dubbing by itself is quite challenging , ' ' saritha goes on . ` ` when i dub for an actress like sushmita sen ( ` ` rakshagan ' ' ) who does not know a word of tamil ( she could have said anything during the filming . . . even just one , two , three , four ) it is my job to see that the dialogue delivery and the pauses form a perfect sync with lip movement , ' ' she explains .\nmany actresses are keen to know who would be dubbing for them . vijayashanthi , to name one , insists that saritha dub for her . ` ` nagma is another actress who likes to know how her ` voice ' , is going to sound , ' ' says saritha .\nthe loop system of dubbing was quite a tedious procedure but today incredible technical advancements have made things very easy , feels saritha . with sons shravan and tejas now in school , saritha has come back to acting . she was recently seen in the vijaya - surya starrer , ` ` friends ' ' . ` it ' s sad that my sons don ' t seem to need me so much anymore . so i have time now . . . , ' ' she laughs .\n` ` when i came to chennai from coimbatore after my graduation , looking for acting chances , it was for dubbing that i was first tried , ' ' begins ` ` nizhalgal ' ' ravi .\nravi is one actor who has made wise decisions in chalking out his career . a bharatiraja find and hero of ` ` nizhalgal ' ' ravi did not wait for a hero ' s role again . he did a couple of films and when he saw that his career was not really taking off , he switched over to character roles with ease .\nimpressed with the potential ravi ' s voice holds , hmv approached him for the audio version of swami sudhabhodananda ' s ` ` manase relax please ' ' . his audio releases include ` ` gayathri manthiram ' ' and ` ` mrithyukshya manthiram ' ' .\ngoing back to his first audition for dubbing , those were the days when he used to call on directors and producers for a chance to act in films . ` ` my father had sent me to chennai on the condition that if i didn ' t make it in two years time , i had to be back in coimbatore , find myself a job and settle down , ' ' ravi reminisces . bharatiraja needed a voice for vijayan for the film ` ` niram maradha pookal ' ' and ravi had gone to prasad studio to meet the director . the sound engineer there said ravi ' s voice was fantastic and could be tried for vijayan . he was asked to speak a few lines and then told to report the next day . ` ` till then i did not even know that dubbing artistes existed , ' ' he says . the next morning , however , ravi saw bharatiraja himself speak for the character . he explained to ravi that since vijayan ' s speed of dialogue delivery and accent were different he had decided to dub for him . but soon ravi was offered the main role in bharatiraja ' s ` ` nizhalgal ' ' , which set his career in motion .\n` ` nizhalgal ' ' ravi and saritha have one thing in common . both want to sing too . ` ` i have spoken to a . r . rahman about it . i hope he will call me soon , ' ' laughs ravi , while saritha says , ` ` i love singing . . . but i also feel a little shy .

year - old actor , who has been in the industry since the early 1980s , recently signed a movie by a 21 - year - old debutant director , karthik naren . titled dhuruvangal pathinaaru , the starcast of the cop thriller includes all fresh faces , barring rahman .\n\u201cno one of my calibre and experience would necessarily agree to be directed by amateurs , but i realised that someone should be willing to open doors to fresh talent . so here i am , working with a fresh team . i have finished a few days of work , and i must say it has been more than satisfactory , \u201d says rahman . \u201calso , i feel good working with youngsters . i haven\u2019t aged mentally ; probably that\u2019s why it shows on my physique too . even today , my nieces tell me that i am very kiddish , \u201d laughs rahman .\nwhile the plot is nothing new , the way the script was presented to him had him agree to sign on the dotted line . \u201cthe team had done its homework . they narrated the script to me in a way that was both appealing and convincing . not just that , ever since we started working together , all schedules are being carried out in a well - structured way , just like any director with , say , 20 years of experience would do , \u201d he says . \u201cthese youngsters have so many fresh ideas to offer to the industry , and i decided that i was ready to take the risk of giving them a chance , \u201d adds rahman , who also recently finished shooting for another cop thriller , pagadi aattam .\nbesides kollywood , the actor is busy with malayalam film ente sathyanweshana pareekshakal ( translates to the title of gandhi\u2019s autobiography , my experiments with truth ) , where he plays a lawyer , and has another , lavender , running in the theatres . \u201ci am very picky when it comes to malayalam movies . i want to do only the choicest of movies there , but in tamil , i do it for a nice script and making money , \u201d he says candidly .\nwhat\u2019s next ? rahman will continue doing what he does best \u2014 acting . \u201ci have also written a few scripts that are yet to see light of the day , \u201d he says hesitatingly . \u201cthey are all cry - baby stories . i would really like to see them made as movies someday , \u201d he says .\ngeetha\u2019s character is surprisingly well - defined . as a rabid fan who gets to marry the object of her desires , she is obviously afraid her husband will cheat on her with one of the thousands of women throwing themselves at him \u2013 after all , he slept with them before their marriage . geetha turns in a convincing performance as a woman whose all - consuming love ends up consuming her . rahman , who sounds suspiciously like \u2018nizhagal\u2019 ravi , also does well as the famous singer \u2013 but a tiny quibble with the story : he goes to work in a restaurant in north india serving south indian cuisine , and none of the customers recognize the famous singer . then , he makes a living in goa with jyothi , meet one malayali couple , who died later in the movie and are both fluent in hindi , and by watching the couple , they learn the true definition for love while falling in love themselves .\nthen bharathi get a prank call from his pa that gowri is ill . so he comes back with jyothi from goa , which makes gowri angry and she doesnt let jyothi in without knowing who she is . bharathi gets angry and they stay in another one of his houses . bharathi gets so angry that he claims that he loves jyothi and that she cannot go because of her problems . so gowri files for a divroce , informs news reporters about jyothi . jyothis husband appears later in the story . gowri plans to get married to a cricket player guru . guru had proposed to her in the past . he accepts the proposal and abandons one of his fans , yamuna , who is obsessed with him . later , yamuna commits suicide in the marriage hall readied for gowris marriage . gowris mother and her pa feel that she is mentally unstable . her mother begs bharathi to go and see her in the hospital and he goes with jyothi to see her . jyothi then sees that bharathi and gowri belong to each other . jyothi later finds her husband , who was indeed in love with her . after that , bharathi goes to recording with him being happy and visits his wife in the hospital while enjoying himself .\nevery movie lover would have an artist behind to spark the love for movies . for me it is kb sir .\ndirector k balachander gave meaning to the title iyakkunar sigaram ( summit of directors ) . he had learnt so many rules of making a good screenplay that he can break them with ease to stand apart from the crowd and be a trail blazer for the tamil film industry . many say his loss is irreplaceable but i feel he is immortal and would live through his movies .\none of the iconic movies directed by him is aboorva raagangal in 1975 . the movie features kamal hassan and introduced a new actor shivaji rao rechristened as rajinikanth . both of them later went on to take the indian film industry by storm . aboorva raagangal dealt with intergenerational romance between two families which was quite a controversial topic during that era . but it went on to win 3 national awards . post this kb sir had directed many movies with kamal hassan and rajinikanth in the lead which included avargal , moondru mudichu and ninaithale innikum .\nkb sir emphasized on the empowerment of woman in most of his movies . his lead women characters right from avargal , arangetram , sindhu bhairavi , achamillai achamillai , kalki were bold , forward looking and very powerful .\nhe used metaphors predominantly in his movies . these were fondly referred to a directorial touch in tamil cinema . there also used to be a character which is insignificant in the gamut of the plot but plays crucial role in emphasizing a point , mood or the gravity of a situation in his movies . rajinikanth\u2019s character in aboorva raagangal , irumal thaatha in ethir neechal , the dumb and deaf painter in varumayin niram sigappu , telephone in azhagan , chaplin uncle in punnagai mannan and many more are examples of this . he had also given some great comedy movies like bhama vijayam and thillu mullu in which he had experimented rajinikanth playing a full -

90 ir used to be very busy and almost all the leading directors used the services of ir for the music and re - recording ( rr ) . at the same time lot of first time producers also dependent on ir for the music . the trend at that time is to book ir for music and goundamani - senthil for comedy and the rest with fillers - you are assured of minimum guarantee success . there were films which went on to become huge hits ( especially\nmike\nmohan and\ndowser\nramarajan ) just because of ir .\nir is supposed not to differentiate between the big and small producer / director . any film he accepted means he used to complete the music tracks and the rr to his best ability and complete the same ( in the accepted order ) . the complexity lies in managing his dates with that of lyricist , directors and other stakeholders for review and approval . somehow it was managed and the show was going .\nthis trend of booking ir , but utilizing only for music track and avoiding him for rr ( citing time , but actual reason is money ) continued for one more film of kavithalaya - unnai salli kutramillai - a amir john film with karthick in lead . ir was very much upset and said if this trend continued he may not be keen to do another film for kavithalaya .\nthis upset kb and he decided to part ways with ir . nee paadhi naan paadhi a vasanth film from kavithalaya has to go without ir and had music from maragatha mani ( keeravani , changed names , ironically a die - hard fan of ir ) .\nnow comes the big occasion - mani rathnam ( mr ) was booked by kavithalaya for their next film - for mr it is the film after thalapathi - though mr had good equation with ir he has to go with as per the production house wishes . but he demanded the best . somehow kb was able to identify a . r . rehman and as they say , the rest is history . roja was released in 1992 and the music was sensational hit and the legend of arr is born .\nthis is just ( kb - ir ego clash ) is just one side of the story . many were working behind or looking for the fall of the great ir as they could not stomach the success of him and more importantly could not stomach being labelled of their success being attributed to the music of ir . chief among them are vairmuthu - the lyricist and bharathiraja the other director who immensely benefited from ir ' s music . for them arr is god send and ensured that ir was sidelined . ( vairamuthu ' s fall from grace started this time and that is another story , not very much relevant here )\nafter this ir was targeted subtly and more directly for his ego , rigidness and head weight for all and sundry and to his credit as far as possible ir never joined issue with them . along with arr , another music director came in to the scene at that time . deva , was literally deivam ( god ) for the low budget film producers and ir baiters . ( deva , at his peak even used to copy his own songs ! ) the annihilation of ir is complete . . ( or so they thought ) .\nunthinkable betrayals , severe test for friendship and trust - ir has to go through an unknown phase to him - several of his old colleagues remained loyal to him balu mahendra and fazil to name a few . ( after all these , kadhalukku mariathai of fazil in 1998 showed how ir can still be a force ) among the new directors bala ( sethu and pithamahan ) remained fanatically loyal to ir . and balki from bollywood ( cheenikum , pa . . . )\nin spite of the musical genius of arr , for a generation of tamil ( cinema ) music lovers ir is like a demi - god and will remain so . also , it is nice to know that both ir and arr have mutual respect to each other .\nps - most of the above information is from hearsay and from the media publications prevailing at that time . authenticity of this cannot be ascertained and the personal bias of the author towards ir will always be there .\nnew deals . everyday . shop our deal of the day , lightning deals , daily deals and limited time sales .\nsuppose if ilayaraja doesn ' t break his relationship with mani ratnam , then how many years would have taken for a . r . rahman to make his debut i . . .\nmost of mani ratnam\u2019s films are flops or boring . why do so many actors and technicians want to work with him , and treat him like he\u2019s a legend . . .\nno reason . mani rathnam almost always has , in all his films after roja , ar rahman as his constant music composer , but he does not say either that ar rahman is the best composer or that arr is better than ilaiyaraja .\nhere i will put ilaiyaraja and kamalahasan together in this . mani also doesn\u2019t work with kamalahasan , after nayakan . the reason is that mani is a director , who likes unpredictability . he considers ilaiyaraja as a genius who invariably has more than one tune in place when the background for either a film scene or a song is narrated to him . likewise , when he explains to kamalahasan , kamal delivers more than what mani wants without ( sort of ) a retake being required . so mani creatively gets dissatisfied , as he feels he\u2019s probably underworking himself with both kamal and ilaiyaraja .\nin contrast , when mani works with other actors , invariably they are of course short of what one would get from a kamal or rajini , just to name these two , but he feels he gets to work more perfectly or feels satisfied as he feels he\u2019s extracted much more from other actors . likewise , arr starts working on tunes only after listening to the scene and tends to work before mani before rendering a set of tunes ( but by no means he\u2019s slow as his panchathan studio is one of the most modern and automated ) . arr also has his pre - recorded tunes and melodies for songs , but works afresh for mani , as i feel . if in reality things are different , others may chip in with their views .\nthis was conveyed to kb who got pissed of with this reply & decided to use the old rr of ir in the film . this is ir ' s version which he mentioned in an interview .\nkb ' s version is that ir angrily threw some old rr cassettes of his previous films & told hsi team that if the release was so urgent they could go ahead .\nthere is scene in the movie poovellam kettupar . there will be a argument between naasar ( musician ) and karan ( film director ) where nasar claims the all the movies done my karan were successful because of his music . this is said to be based on the true incident between ilayaraja and balachander ."]}

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 -

length film of any significance for the cork film festival in 1967 . how could they reject it ? by disqualifying it on the grounds that it had had showings in dublin - one screening for about 18 people . but , to the amazement of the irish authorities , the film was selected to represent ireland at the cannes festival of 1968 . the idea that an irish feature film that was good enough for cannes could not be screened at ireland ' s only film festival was just too much .\nafter that , we received a very different sort of press coverage : from le monde , cahiers du cinema , positif , paris match ; massive coverage in life , a feature in the herald tribune (\nirish revolt stirs sorbonne circuit\n) ; and , from the new york times , this judgment :\nrocky road to dublin makes it outrageous , if not impossible , for outsiders to ever again see ireland only in comforting cliches .\ntommy boy , a disastrous road trip starring a mismatched odd couple and the gradual destruction of a car , owes a lot to planes , trains and automobiles .\nlennon took on the catholic clergy and the educational system it controlled , the anti -

80 - year - old coutard relates his memorable experiences of making the film and his impressions of ireland at the time , while peter lennon details the film ' s largely negative critical reception in ireland and the neglect into which it had fallen before it was finally restored by the irish film institute in 2004 .\nif rocky iii was a silly cartoon , then rocky iv is an outright superheroic farce . it not only jumps the shark , it squats , deadlifts and bench - presses it atop a snowy mountain surrounded by 80s synth - metal . there\u2019s a reason it has its own unique \u2018so - bad - it\u2019s - good\u2019 cult following that exists completely independent of the rest of the series . the whole thing is just ridiculous , from paulie getting a robot wife ( ? ! ) to the soviet empire entering the world of professional boxing , to ivan drago having enough super -

out audiences . it has never been shown on irish television and despite the ( not surprising ) snub that it received in ireland it became a huge success with those very students who brought the cannes film festival to close . the film provided a cautionary answer to the old question of \u201cwhat do you do with your revolution now that you have it ? \u2019 in ireland that answer , sadly , was \u201cgive it to the church and the bourgeoisie . \u201d the full film is actually now available for viewing on youtube . the quality of the file conversion was not terribly good so the resolution is poor compared to the dvd . it ' s still quite watchable though . urltoken\nireland is beautiful and after watching this film and \u201cp . s . i love you\u201d , i can\u2019t wait to explore such a gorgeous place .\nencouraged by the controversy he had stirred with a series of newspaper articles and inspired by french ' new wave ' filmmakers of the era , dublin -

funded . but as lennon explains , while the irish saw\npeter lennon ' s film about ireland was feted at cannes and adopted by the revolutionaries of 1968 . but in his home country , cinemas refused to screen it\nreally , just about every movie made in the decade or so after blade runner combining science fiction and city noir sensibilities has been invariably compared to that film .\nthe irish establishment took one , brief look at rocky road , and suffocated it for 37 years . no irish cinema would screen it and there was never any question that rte ( irish public service television ) would either . rte was totally submissive to the church ( as were most irish politicians ) . indeed , at the point where only about 18 people had seen it at a private screening , rte , on its late late show , dealt the hammer blow by warning the nation that this unseen film was backed by \u0093communist money . \u0094 in fact , it was entirely funded by an american businessman friend of mine .\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( 1968 ) . produced for channel 4 , it was the subject of local criticism by the industrial development authority , but it won a special jury prize at the 1989 european film awards . in the same year , gilsenan made the short film ,\nring of kerry is a little longer , and farther away from dublin ( but not by much ) . either is sublimely beautiful . you can\u2019t miss , whichever one you pick .\nc\u2019mon folks , it\u2019s a movie , not a travel documentary . americans watching this could care less about whether dingle is accurately depicted , or any road , pub , or castle . the main point is that they will fall in love with not only the story , but also with the landscape , culture , aura , and people of ireland itself , from dublin to the sea in all directions . which county , town , cliff , road , castle , hotel , or pub any of it happens in doesn\u2019t really matter in the grand scheme of things . that\u2019s called hollywood , so you might as well get used to it . does it matter what city citizen kane was shot in ?\nn the 1960s , i was a freelance journalist living in paris and working for the guardian , which sent me home to ireland to cover the dublin theatre festival . soon after my arrival , my drinking friends began trying to convince me that ireland had shed all its shackles .\nnobody pays any attention to the clergy ,\nthey said .\ncensorship is a thing of the past .\ni didn ' t really care one way or another , living in paris , but finally i asked the newspaper to let me stay on in dublin for a few weeks . the result was a series of articles with headlines like climate of repression , students in blinkers , and grey eminence ( about the archbishop of dublin ) .\nthanks jerry for the information . now , i can find the many beautiful locations in the film and the real dingle too .\nspies like us was , during production , described as a road movie , and even features bob hope in a cameo . . . hitting a golf ball into the same tent as the characters in the middle of afghanistan .\nhi all \u2013 the scene near the lakes where amy had her bag stolen was not doo lough \u2013 lovely as it is . it\u2019s in mayo , the road between leenane and louisburgh and is heaven on earth . link to street view in google maps : urltoken\npeter lennon ' s film about ireland was feted at cannes and adopted by the revolutionaries of 1968 . but in his home country , cinemas refused to screen it .\nthe patriot is also one to saving private ryan from the perspective of being an american -

the father trying to be a good man doing what ' s best for his son , trying to find a place for themselves and running into problems on the way , including people who want to kill them .\nhi jerry , sorry for my little english . i\u2019m italian and i\u2019m looking for location of leap year movies because i love this film and this summer i\u2019ll go in ireland . today i read your site ! thanks for the information : it\u2019s time i try to discover the castle in the movie and the place of the final scene . i\u2019ll go in ireland by plane to cork and then i\u2019ll go to dublin with a car . bye\nto propose to her finance on feb . 29 , the traditional day upon which women may propose to men .\ni loved living in dingle for 19 months , from 2003 - 2004 . it\u2019s hard enough to find the town from land , driving west \u2013 with the name changes on the road signs from irish and back to english , starting in 2005 . this film makes it really difficult for the town to be found\u2026 to make any gains from losses the name changes may or may not have occurred . ( there are those in the town who see the tourism as a blessing and a curse at the same time . )\nthe park at the end is st . stephen\u2019s green . the sunny day may be a bit of movie magic , as i hardly ever remember it being that nice when i lived in dublin .\nso cork gave us a screening . it was at lunchtime , on the day they had invited all the media out of town to a free oyster - and - guinness lunch in kenmore , 70 miles away . so we hired a hall the next day , causing more scandal . with the financial potential a scandal offers , one dublin cinema took the film and ran it for seven weeks to gleeful audiences .\nhola susie ! you are a lady with \u201ctrue grit\u201d ! good for you to visit ireland . some people only dream about such adventures . you are making it a reality . buses and trains are very good from dublin to all parts of ireland . they are also very inexpensive . taxis and rental cars are expensive , however . i think you should be safe traveling alone . be careful in parts of some big cities , like dublin , limerick & cork . this is true in any large city , i am sure . the pub in the movie is on the aran islands , but the inside of it was a movie set that was built in dublin . there are pleasant places to stay on the aran islands . galway is also very nice , and it is a good place to take the ferry to galway , for take a bus tour of connemara , where the scenes with the red renault were shot . i hope you have a wonderful time . please write to us here at garrett on the road with your experiences . my very best wishes !\nthe film revolutionary road is an interesting subversion of spiritual successor status . it ' s set in america , it starred leonardo di caprio and kate winslet ( as husband in wife ) in their first film together after they ' d co - starred in titanic 1997 . some people initially thought it therefore as titanic ' s spiritual successor . the storyline , however , is , if anything , entirely the opposite of titanic and only gets worse from there . plus , it ' s based on a completely unrelated novel .\n[ \u2026 ] the road trip in \u201cdue date\u201d is the most whacked - out cinematic misadventure since 2009\u2019s \u201cleap year\u201d , which turned the map of ireland inside out .\ni don ' t think this is kansas , toto\n[ \u2026 ]\ni agree , it is a magical place and everywhere you go there is a remembrance of the quiet man film . it seems to not have changed much over the many years .\nlooper is a remake of the 1994 sci - fi film timecop , but with the camp replaced with being as ultra - stylish as possible .\nthe filmmakers had to film in ireland so that the film\u2019s backers could claim a tax break ( allowed under recent revisions of section 481 of the irish tax code ) for their investment in the production . the choice of locations within ireland was up to the filmmakers , and they took many liberties , to make dublin look like boston , and make locations work with the idea of a journey across ireland in the script . why they did what they did , who knows ? but they had to scrimp to make their irish budget of \u20ac13 million last for the 5 - month shoot , and to pay a crew of 150 . the filmmakers also promised to hire 1 , 500 extras throughout the course of the shoot . did you see that many extras ? i sure didn\u2019t .\nwith the release of creed , i decided it would be just splendid to blitz my way through the \u2018rocky\u2019 franchise in more or less one sitting . this actually isn\u2019t as strenuous as one might think \u2013 leaving aside the fact that every one of the films is at least quite entertaining , rockys ii - vi are never longer than 110 economic minutes . only the first film is two hours long . so really it wasn\u2019t any worse than a netflix binge - watch .\nzootopia is one to robin hood . in fact , zootopia director byron howard ' s love for robin hood was the reason why the idea for zootopia was pitched in the first place , since he wanted to do a film similar to one of his favorite toons .\nwhatever , wherever , it was all lovely . i\u2019m addicted to the scenery in this film , and that includes matthew good\u2019s face , so i watch it every time it\u2019s on cable .\nif your looking for a small town on the sea look at greystones in wicklow ( not rustic like the ones in the film but is a smaller family town with little cafe\u2019s and a long coast line to walk along ) about a 10 min drive in to the mountains to be up to all that scenery .\nand inverted again with riddick , which pretty much throws out the previous film in the first few minutes and then rehashes the plot of pitch black .\n, shot on a mixture of super - 8 , vhs and super - 16 and blown up to 35mm . while the film won many critical plaudits , it was also criticised for its regressive gender politics . gilsenan returned to documentary with\nthe 1980 musical film xanadu is a spiritual successor to the 1944 movie cover girl . in xanadu , gene kelly plays an older version of danny mcguire ( his character in cover girl ) . his character doesn ' t make any direct references to the story or characters in the older movie except for the mention of once owning a nightclub . danny also remembers meeting kira before somehow . rita hayworth ' s role in the older film doesn ' t really suggest any connections to kira or the muses . but in the 1947 film down to earth ( the direct inspiration for xanadu ) , hayworth actually does play the muse\nterpsichore\n. and down to earth does make references to cover girl , however .\nit\u2019s faster than walking from dingle to\u2026 wherever \u2013 heck \u2013 it\u2019s tough enough to walk from dingle to camp ( uphill from annascaul ) , which is halfway to tralee .\nadventures of don juan is once again another swashbuckler starring flynn . he here is once again playing a classic european hero who fights against a corrupt man of power in his nation who is trying to take over and woos a woman of royalty . even the title seems to be deliberately trying to harken back to that film .\nhighwaymen is one to director robert harmon ' s earlier film the hitcher . both heavily feature car chases , pursuit along the highways , and a serial killer with a fixation on the male protagonist .\nthe sea hawk is again a swashbuckling adventure film starring flynn as a charismatic pirate captain . and once again curtiz is in the director ' s chair .\nthanks cindy , the bed - and - breakfast \u201cinn\u201d in \u201cleap year\u201d was actually a set , built inside an industrial warehouse located on dublin\u2019s north side . exterior shots cut into that scene were shot mostly in county wicklow .\nthe death of peter lennon , guardian journalist and documentary film - maker , causes a complicated kind of sadness . i met him first on joining the guardian in 1999 ; he was at the paper on a freelance writing contract . peter was funny , charming , and self - deprecating . he would occasionally participate in office discussions about how we should cover the cannes film festival , without ever attempting to pull rank \u2014 as he was arguably entitled to do , given that he was a real live film - maker who had had something selected at cannes .\na christmas carol 2009 directed by robert zemeckis serves as this to his preceding cgi - animated christmas film the polar express . both films are based on a classic book centered around the holiday and are about a person whose perspective on life and attitude towards the holiday are changed as he goes through a supernatural journey started by beings who want to help them\nopen their eyes\nso to speak . . each also has a leading actor who plays several roles in the film . ironically enough a marionette puppet of ebenezer scrooge appears in the film during the scene where they are in a car filled with abandoned / misfit toys being used by the hobo ghost . the scrooge played by jim carrey in the subsequent film has a strikingly similar appearance / design ."]}

creators in an unhealthy way . yes , there can be more participation and some sense of\ndemocratization\nof the game development process . but i question whether that ' s actually a good thing to begin with . and in the case of unsung story we have what appears to be a very opaque development process that threw the entire point of the original project under the bus .\nour euro transit series is sleek and stylish yet strong and sturdy . this combination of design and durability results in a highly functional transit shelter with eye - catching designs that your community will warmly welcome to its public streetscape . and , you can trust that our experienced engineers will ensure all of your bus shelter design specifications are incorporated into the finished product , whether that\u2019s a need for solar - power illumination , digital or static information / advertising displays , custom color matching or special weather resistant materials .\nand if it ' s sunny you can nip down to the palm tree pub just by the canal here which is also a bit of an east end bike mecca when the weather is fair . many happy hours spent there getting quietly tiddled on the grass before pushing my bike home . thanks for the tip rob ; i hadn ' t spotted this bus cafe . old routemasters becoming eating establishments seems to be quite the thing these days ; there ' s one in brick lane / truman ' s yard and another in soho too . rather there than trying to overtake me on the holborn circus roundabout any day !\nthis is a very harsh movie about people who immigrate to a modern society with the hope of finding a job and earning money . it tries to focus on the disparities between the cultures . this movie presents the point of view of nine immigrants traveling with a bus from very rural areas of turkey directly to one of most modern societies . they find themselves tricked by a passer who took their money and passport with the promise of finding them a job in sweden . as they arrive to stockholm , being completely foreign to the city and to the culture , having no where to go to and no money to buy food , the only place they can find refuge is their bus , parked in a very central and crowded spot in stockholm during the cold winter time . the fear of being caught by the police forces them to hide in bus during day . and during night the harsh fight for the survival starts . during these nocturnal excursions , we come to see how these rural farmers perceive the everyday night life in the town . the movie presents nicely how socially acceptable aspects of the daily life ( such as alcohol consumption , nudity , sexuality and homosexuality ) , appear as perversions to people who are foreigners . and this is why i think nearly all of the local citizens are pictured unfriendly , pervert , racist , vain , arrogant , cruel and merciless . on the other hand , all the nine victims are presented as naive , rough , nearly completely unintelligent . this is the reason why i think this movie doesn ' t gain a deeper meaning . it stays like cruel story without being completely unfolded in different directions . therefore , even though this movie takes its starting point from the topic of immigration , it doesn ' t really deal with it in a deeper sense . however i think it is a very interesting movie worth to be seen .\nthere are many people who are forced to live in their cars because they really cannot afford to live in the bay area . i am not technically one of them , and in doing this by choice i am inevitably appropriating their hardships . however , i am also saving hard , trying to pay off my debts , and learning a few invaluable life skills\u2014like carpentry and how to be a fairly competent mechanic\u2014in the process . also , i get to flood social media with updates that basically equate to \u201cha . told you i\u2019d do it . look at me now . i\u2019m in a bus . you\u2019re going to have to pay up on the $ 5 bet you made that i would never go through with it . \u201d\nshe uses an example of a boy that suddenly discovers himself as the subject of the gaze when he is on bus \u2013not dissimilar in set up to ali\u2019s story in a few simple sentences . to describe this case , sobchack writes : \u201cjohnson describes how the epidermalizing gaze locks his consciousness out of a body that no longer is his ; its sense and its meaning possessed and devalued by another\u201d ( 54 ) . sobchack attempts to describe how through perceiving to be perceived by an external gaze \u2013even a gaze that belongs to the person\u2019s own reflection in the mirror\u2013 one\u2019s relation with his / her own body gets disrupted and that such a disjuncture brings about uneasiness and awkwardness . based on her argument , this external gaze forces its object to see him / herself through \u201cthe eyes of the other\u201d ( sobchack 54 ) and turns him into a \u201cvictim of vision\u201d ( sobchack 55 ) . she also mentions the balance and gravity of any individual crushed under the weight of the \u201cpathologic gaze\u201d . sobchack then extends this gaze to the function of what she calls the \u201cnormative practices\u201d which according to her : \u201cphenomenologically estrange us from our bodies and make us strange and hateful not only to the others , but [ \u2026 ] to ourselves\u201d ( sobchack 54 ) .\nmiss s\u2019s funeral , which in life ( or in death ) was at our lady of hal in arlington road but in the film is at st silas\u2019s at the foot of haverstock hill . we also film miss s at mass , with maggie smith at the communion rail . but not just kneeling . after miss s\u2019s death i had a letter from father cormacrigby , who was 20 years an announcer on radio 3 before leaving the bbc and being ordained a priest in 1985 , when he was sent to live at our lady of hal , miss s\u2019s local church . he told me how , seeing her in the congregation , his heart would sink as he had a bad back and miss s\u2019s exigent ( though not ostentatious ) piety required her virtually to prostrate herself when receiving the host , with the priest thus having to follow her right down in order to post the wafer into her mouth . maggie does this too , on her knees , four or five times without complaint or assistance . she\u2019s a few months younger than me but i couldn\u2019t kneel like this , or if i went down i couldn\u2019t get up again . she does both , and on camera . then she goes into the confessional box to unburden herself for the umpteenth time to the long - suffering priest ( dermot crowley ) , telling him about the motorcyclist she thinks she killed in an accident years ago . he has heard it all before and has absolved her many times . \u201cabsolution , my child , is not like the bus pass . it does not run out . \u201d\nin his short movie allamezadeh presents an instance of epidermalizing gaze at work , but to the detriment of any normative process . here ali , the young immigrant is in the process of integration through learning the native language , but his experience on the bus and his awareness of being looked upon as a stranger negate this procedure , as shown through his reluctance to learn dutch . what ali experiences is a fear of being seen and judged . the hostile reaction ali receives is rooted in his situation as a stranger , a stance perceived through his different external physical features . here the term \u201cepidermalizing\u201d finds more resonance : the hostile glance not only perceives the other through the apparent external traits but also reduces him / her to that superficial picture . this superficial apparition serves as a basis for passing a judgment which , as the film clearly states , could be completely unfair . the \u201cepidermalizing gaze\u201d literally hurts its subject ; the bloodstain on ali\u2019s shirt graphically represents the wound inflicted upon him and reinforces the parallel between him and the bird . in depicting this hostile glance , the film goes to the extent of projecting it onto the dog of the beholders , as it initially directs others\u2019 attention to the boy by barking at him . ali\u2019s awkwardness in confrontation with this cruel glance is presented through his inability to speak fluently . speaking is the bodily presentation of the mental process of forging an idea . in ali\u2019s case , his lack of language skills impedes this connection between mind and speech , and by extension between the mind and the body . however his unfortunate experience discourages him from re - establishing this connection through learning language and eventually makes him refrain from recounting the whole story in the class .\nfor a few simple sentences the idea of accent emerges similarily . allamezadeh\u2019s short film also follows the model of kanoon\u2019s pre - revolution children movies in its use of symbolic language . masoud mehrabi in his history of iranian cinema hints to rumours that circulated around the intentions of the royal regime within the centre . according to him some people believed that the ultimate intention was to persuade the dissident intellectual artists to get involved with purely cultural \u2013and so non - political\u2013 activities ( 352 ) . even if it was the case , the output of filmmakers proved this policy didn\u2019t always go according to plans , since some filmmakers took the opportunity to convey their opposing voices by undercutting the seemingly harmless images of children movies sponsored by the government itself ! as mehrabi quotes from zarrinkelk , one of the major animators of kanoon , \u201c in some cases under the guise of children movies , messages were thrown at the grown - ups\u201d ( 356 ) . deploying an array of symbols made this secondary level of address possible ; for example , a number of kanoon movies before the revolution were constructed around a relation between a child and an animal \u2013which in some cases took up a symbolic role . despite the fact that a few simple sentences was made in a free society , allemzadeh used the same symbolic trope to accentuate the situation of his hero . in some respect , the hurt pigeon and its desperate flight in the bus mirrors the defenseless status of misunderstood ali . also worthy of mention is the fact that daar was similarly about the relation between a child and a bird , albeit in opposing poles . so in this case , we are facing a filmmaker in exile who launches the new chapter of his career by resorting to his previous oeuvre . this adaptive strategy is simultaneously conducive to the creation of accent in a way closer to the linguistic definition of the term .\nalthough such a politically charged fear is not the initial problem for the heroine of the film , poori , she does get involved with it along the way . it is worth noting that unlike the examples naficy utilizes to define this second category , in the guests of hotel astoria , the terror originates not merely from the refugees\u2019 country of origin but also from the place they lead their life of liminality . allamezadeh\u2019s movie demonstrates the ill - defined boundary between the discussed categories . naficy believes that movies belonging to both rubrics of \u201cpanic\u201d and \u201ctransition\u201d tend to follow a classical narrative structure and therefore are not very innovative in terms of style . he also believes that because of the casting of iranian actors and the use of farsi as the main diegetic language , the film addresses a narrower iranian audience , ( an accented cinema 80 ) . of course this idea that the guests of hotel astoria is targeted or limited to an iranian audience can be subject to further debate , but the prominence of farsi among other spoken languages clearly differentiates it from a few simple sentences . this latter title carries more signs from the category naficy dubs as \u201climinal cinema\u201d ( liminal being something that defies easy categorisation into one category or type ) . we can sense the broader appeal of movies in this category , for based on his definition they are not overly concerned with the ethnic background of the hero . these movies , citing from naficy , concentrate on exhibiting \u201c . . the life and clash of clusters in exile\u201d ( an accented cinema 76 ) . a few simple sentences conforms to this model inasmuch as the bitter experience of the child stems from his situation as a stranger who could virtually come from any country in the middle east . his nationality is brought up briefly in the bus scene , but does not play a crucial role in the plot ; this more resembles the signature of a director interested in adding a personal touch to the story by pointing to his origins .\ngiven the fact that both films have been out of the film festival circuit for about two decades , i will spend a few lines delineating their respective plots . the story of a few simple sentences is structured upon the unfortunate experience of a refugee boy whose noble intentions for saving a wounded pigeon are misinterpreted by a group of dutch bus passengers . set across a much broader span of space , the guests of hotel astoria follows the story of an iranian couple among other residents of a cheap hotel in turkey who all have fled their home country to seek refuge in a western country . the couple\u2019s initial plan to move to the netherlands \u2013where the man\u2019s brother lives\u2013 fails as their visa application is rejected . in the meantime , poori \u2013the woman\u2013 gets involved in an amorous relationship with mohseni , another resident of the hotel who , unbeknownst to her , is a leftist activist . following the advice of mohseni\u2019s friend , poori and her husband obtain a visa for cuba , which allows them to enter the netherlands as the transit point . but the dutch officials , suspicious about their connection with the leftist groups , reject their plea for asylum and return them back to turkey . things get more complicated when the turkish police who have already arrested mohseni learn of his intimate relation with poori . poori gets herself and her husband karimnia released by complying with the accusation of the indecent proposal of giving pleasure to the turkish police officer . as the probable result of her one night stand with mohseni , poori discovers she is pregnant . she is then fooled by a word of mouth that leads her to believe that giving birth to a child in the united states entitles the mother to apply for residency . she goes to the united states to deliver her child , but then realizes the falsity of the information . crestfallen , she eventually loses her life during the delivery . her child however paves the way for karimnia\u2019s entry into the states , even though he is unaware of his wife\u2019s death .\nallamezadeh started his filmmaking career by making films for children in the 1970s . at least two of his \u201cchildren movies\u201d were produced by the institute for the intellectual development of children and young adults ( kanoon - e parvareshe fekri - e koodakan va nojavanan ) , a highly reputed centre for producing cultural products for children and young adults under both royal and islamic regimes . as a governmental organization , it was inaugurated in 1969 in order to produce books and films for a young audience , and experienced a \u201crapid and steady growth\u201d to become one of the \u201cmajor producers of film for children\u201d ( sadr 229 ) . working there sounded appealing to the filmmakers affiliated with the new wave of iranian cinema , as its products , to borrow hamid reza sadr\u2019s words , \u201cdepart quite radically from the conventions and production values of the studio system of 1960s and 1970s\u201d ( 229 ) . allamezadeh earned his reputation through one of his movies for kanoon , daar ( reza allamezadeh , 1973 ) , which was circulated in various festivals , including gijon film festival where it was awarded a prize . more than ten years later , it was exactly in the same venue that allamezdeh met the dutch producers of his first movie in exile . learning about his background , the dutch producers invited him to furnish them with a subject , and allemezadeh\u2019s contribution was a few simple sentences , the idea of which was conceived through linking two separate images he witnessed in two different places ; a boy boarding a bus in turkey with a pigeon hidden under his jacket , and a pigeon that freed itself from a dog\u2019s mouth in spain . but the influence of the past is not limited to the story behind the production . the story and structure of the film strikes a powerful resemblance to the traditions of filmmaking in kanoon . sadr mentions the common stylistic features of movies made in kanoon as such : \u201c . . more naturalistic photography , closer to documentary than to studio made fiction film\u2026location shooting and the use of available light\u201d ( 229 ) . it takes little effort to notice that many of these features are applicable to a few simple sentence .\nabout a year ago , i was having lunch with a friend when i made a throwaway comment : \u201chave you seen the rent in san francisco ? if i get a job in the bay area , i\u2019ll

a new way for consumers to support games they wanted to play . in some ways , it ' s done just that . we ' ve gotten some neat top - down rpgs like wasteland 2 and pillars of eternity .\nat the same time , however , we ' ve seen tons of new problems emerge . major corporate publishers almost immediately began using kickstarter to defer some costs and test the waters of public interest . look no further than the $ 6 . 3 million raised for shenmue 3 . that game is also being funded by sony - - - only now , sony can spend a much smaller sum on the game ' s development . is this really what we had in mind as consumers and enthusiasts ? it ' s more than a little disturbing to see consumers take on so much of the risk and early funding of these types of projects .\nthanks to layoffs and other unfortunate financial circumstances at the company . fine . delays happen . what\u2019s more alarming is that playdek seems to have switched focus on\nto make it more of a multiplayer game , and that their new development timeline is all about player vs . player combat rather than the narrative - heavy single - player game that the kickstarter initially promised .\nthis is one of several reasons why i have never personally backed any crowdfunding project . if i ' m going to invest money , i ' ll invest traditionally . if i ' m going to buy a product , i ' ll wait until it releases . and if i ' m going to support a game , i don ' t feel comfortable also writing about it .\nof course , fans are unhappy - - - but shouldn ' t we know by now that kickstarter and crowdfunding more broadly is nothing more than a huge crapshoot , especially if there ' s very little of the final product on display at the time of backing ? it ' s one thing if a developer comes with game in hand , nearly finished , and crowdfunds the publication costs . that ' s a reasonable - - - and safe - - - bet for everyone . but to fund the majority of a game on donations ? i ' m only surprised there haven ' t been more disasters at this point .\nthe failed yogventures kickstarter which netted over $ 500 , 000 on kickstarter in 2012 and has nothing to show for it beyond a cancellation in 2014 . the only winners in that debacle were kickstarter ( which still gets its fee ) and whoever ended up getting paid . backers - - - a fun word for consumers who don ' t actually get a product when they pay and are promised\nrewards\ninstead - - - were left high and dry .\nneal stephenson ' s kickstarter for\nclang\n- - - a swordfighting game that used motion controls - - - faced a similar fate . backers received their rewards but the prototype , according to stephenson himself ,\nwasn\u2019t very fun to play .\nit took just north of half a million in backer money to come to that conclusion .\neven the much - praised , much - hyped ouya - - - an android - based gaming console - - - which raised over $ 8 million ended up being a monumental disappointment , and of course backers never saw a penny from the company ' s acquisition by razer recently . because backers aren ' t investors and crowdfunding isn ' t the same thing as investing in a start - up or project .\neven success stories like the oculus rift only really serve to show how corporations have taken over the crowdfunding scene . facebook bought that company and its vr headset for $ 2 billion . certainly the kickstarter hype helped spur that acquisition , but there ' s something a bit unsettling about the entire process . it ' s all risk and very little reward .\nultimately , people are going to part with their money and there ' s very little i or anyone else can do to stop them . i ' d just urge backers on kickstarter or on other crowdfunding sites to do their homework . don ' t back something that ' s all promises , and beware of inflated resumes . a crowdfunding campaign should have tons of information , reasonable stretch goals , and a clear and sober timeframe and budget . the majority of the work on a video game should already be done and campaigns should come to backers with lots of the actual game to show off , not just concept art and a snazzy pitch . talk is cheap , and concept art isn ' t much more expensive .\nbe diligent , gamers . even some projects with all the best intentions in the world fall through thanks to a poor business plan or any number of other unforeseen problems .\nand don ' t

salon has obtained a copy of the 213 - page screenplay for the miniseries , and we present it here to our readers to allow them to review the primary evidence in this controversy and reach their own conclusions .\nalthough the miniseries features impressive production values and acting performances , and the producers have sources to verify each scene in the script , we believe it does not present a balanced portrayal of the reagans for cbs and its audience ,\ncbs said in a statement .\nnot that \u201cthe reagans\u201d needs any additional controversy , but it\u2019s also worth noting this quintessentially american tale was shot in canada . for the most part , it\u2019s a handsome effort , down to the gradual aging of the principals and the re - enactment of the assassination attempt by john hinckley .\non friday , republican national committee chairman ed gillespie asked cbs to allow a team of scholars to review the film in advance for historical accuracy . otherwise , he said , cbs should run a disclaimer informing viewers that the film is a fictional portrayal of the reagans .\nlos angeles ( reuters ) - - drawing republican fire over the accuracy of its upcoming mini - series\nthe reagans ,\ncbs appears ready to present a kinder , gentler portrait of the ailing former president than originally produced - - if the network airs it at all .\nhowever , if moonves goes ahead with plans to air\nthe reagans\non nov . 16 , as planned , the final product will differ substantially from the film that reagan supporters have criticized , with many controversial scenes heavily edited or cut from the production , sources said .\nproducers zadan and meron said they were disappointed that cbs won ' t air their miniseries but added :\nwe are excited that showtime has agreed to broadcast it and the public will have a chance to judge ' the reagans ' on its own merits .\nin real life , allen \u201cwas especially fond of the reagans , \u201d as reported by the washington post . a good friend of allen remembered , \u201che often talked about how nice they were to him . \u201d away from hollywood make - believe , there was no mention of why allen chose to retire his three decades of service as white house butler , other than that it was time . and in real life , allen marveled to his wife how they got to enjoy the champagne that he once served\u2014thanks to the reagans\u2019 gracious invitation .\ncbs said in a statement it had decided to move the production to cable tv ' s showtime network after concluding that the miniseries\ndoes not present a balanced portrayal of the reagans for cbs and its audience . subsequent edits that we considered did not address those concerns .\n\u201cthere is no question that they knew many people with aids and were probably very close friends with them , \u201d he continued . \u201ci haven\u2019t heard anyone say the reagans were homophobic . but it was a political calculation . this wouldn\u2019t sell to republican voters . \u201d\nthe furor over the mini - series arose after the new york times reported last month that the film portrays the reagans in a largely unflattering light . in one scene , reagan says of aids patients ,\nthey that live in sin shall die in sin .\nbut there is no evidence he ever expressed those views .\nas cbs learned the hard way , it\u2019s impossible to divorce the political and creative components in analyzing \u201cthe reagans\u201d \u2014 an uneven and , yes , unflattering biography that the network tossed to showtime in a game of corporate hot potato . taking score ideologically , the project depicts nancy reagan as a dragon lady and the former president [ \u2026 ]\nit is important to remember , moreover , that for the duration of their washington reign , until it came to a thudding halt on the afternoon that edwin meese announced that money from the sale of arms to iran had been diverted to the contras , the reagans were treated with kid gloves , not least by the press corps that covered them .\njames brolin as president ronald reagan appears in a scene from cbs '\nthe reagans ,\nin this undated publicity photo . the two - part miniseries about former president reagan and his wife , nancy , airs nov . 16 , 2003 and nov . 18 . ( ap photo / cbs , jan thijs )\nas cbs learned the hard way , it ' s impossible to divorce the political and creative components in analyzing\nthe reagans\n- - an uneven and , yes , unflattering biography . the project depicts nancy reagan as a dragon lady and the former president as an amiable dunce , yet it is also the story of a couple fiercely devoted to each other .\nlike any made - for - tv historical saga spanning four decades , \u201cthe reagans\u201d makes brutal choices about what to throw away and keep . beyond that , this is billed as a \u201cdramatic interpretation of events based on public sources , \u201d so no social studies teacher should be tempted to assign this to a class .\nundoubtedly , staunch reagan loyalists would have assaulted anything that didn\u2019t present the 40th president as worthy of a place on mount rushmore \u2014 something cbs should have recognized going in . still , it\u2019s only fair to note there\u2019s very little here , however pointed , that hasn\u2019t been leveled against the reagans before \u2014 including the vitriol they endured during his presidency .\nno word on when the miniseries will air on showtime , or how cbs will fill the valuable four hours of november sweeps real estate \u201dthe reagans\u201d vacated . it\u2019s also not clear if moving the movie to a more sparsely viewed pay cable channel will quiet the complaints of historical inaccuracy or quell the boycott calls , or if conservatives will mind having the movie air on the home of \u201dqueer as folk . \u201d\nthe only comment from the reagans themselves has come from former first lady nancy reagan , who in a brief statement issued last week to the fox news channel said ,\nthe timing of ( the mini - series ) is absolutely staggering to me . obviously , it ' s very hurtful .\nshe apparently was referring to the fact that the 92 - year - old former president is severely ill with alzheimer ' s disease .\nthere is something splendidly democratic about the\nunauthorized biography . ' ' it is premised on skepticism about the official versions of public lives . its real theme is hypocrisy , which cannot be established , of course , without an\ninvasion of privacy . ' ' about the reagans , surely , unauthorized biography is amply justified ; indeed , it is even a case of just desserts .\nfrom its framing device of a befuddled president reagan receiving word of the tower commission ' s damning report on the iran - contra arms - for - hostages scandal to its portrait of reagan as a leader convinced that god spared him from death by assassination so he could bring the cold war to a peaceful conclusion ,\nthe reagans\nscript provides plenty of ammunition for both sides in this controversy .\nfor kelley has chosen for her subject an evil genius of authorization , of spin control , of image management , of madison avenue - style propaganda . in response to the well - packaged , high - gloss imagery contrived and promoted by the reagans and their admirers , it is only fitting to have the well - packaged , high - gloss trashing of that imagery by kelley . the spinners are being unspun .\nthose objecting to cbs\u2019 planned november ratings sweeps miniseries \u201dthe reagans\u201d included nancy reagan herself , various conservative organizations and talk show hosts , and the chairman of the republican party , all of whom said the biopic would be a smear job without having seen it . still , in announcing on tuesday that it was pulling the miniseries and licensing it to sister cable network showtime , cbs insisted that it was not giving in to pressure .\ntonight ' s made - for - television movie incited conservatives to threaten a boycott , which led the network to cancel it . consigned to showtime , a premium cable channel owned by cbs ' s parent company , viacom , ' ' the reagans ' ' turns out to be neither a liberal screed on reaganomics nor a character attack on former president ronald reagan and his wife , nancy .\nfor all there is to dislike and debate about \u201cthe reagans , \u201d it remains mind - boggling that a network would pull such a project days before its planned airdate . that it finally gets its day in court on showtime , the pay channel that picked up adrian lyne\u2019s remake of \u201clolita\u201d after studios balked , is by any measure the kind of victory likely to embolden those who would stifle such material .\nwhile gillespie - - who acknowledged that he has not seen\nthe reagans\nand has formed his opinion of it based solely on news reports - - had a number of complaints , he said he was most concerned about a comment attributed to reagan in one episode . there is no evidence that the president told his wife during a conversation about aids patients ,\nthey that live in sin shall die in sin ,\ngillespie said .\nin the next few days we will reveal the name of our newly penned record deal , you all will recognize the the name it ' s a very well known label . i will also reveal the name of our new drummer he fuckin rocks as well as tour dates that will begin in january and will bring the reagans home to dc for multiple dates and last but not least all new merch that will be available at shows and our new website . so be ready to fucking thrash or die literally ! ! !\nstill , balance would have strengthened kelley ' s picture , not weakened it . of course part of the vitriolic reaction to kelley ' s book originates not in sympathy for nancy reagan , but in , well , embarrassment . for the trouble with ronald and nancy reagan between 1980 and 1988 was there for all with eyes to see . kelley ' s book is rudely reminding many people that they preferred to avert their gaze . it is a taxing book , i imagine , for the people who praised the reagans or covered them , who were complicitous with the hype and the illusion , with the condition that garry wills called the country ' s\ncollective suspension of disbelief . ' ' it is not pleasant , after all , to look back at that materialism and elitism and remember that we called it virtue and style . the american people twice demanded overwhelmingly that the reagans inhabit the white house ; and this is a free country . but in a free country you not only get nancy reagan , you also get kitty kelley .\na few words of caution : this script is undated , and , though it most likely represents a\nshooting script\nmatching the version of the miniseries that was originally planned for broadcast , we cannot be sure that the script itself was not further edited , and it ' s likely that additional changes were made during editing . showtime , the cable network that has acquired\nthe reagans\nfrom cbs , has announced that it will\ncollaborate with the filmmaker to create a final film ,\nso the showtime version is likely to differ further from this script .\nthis was a cut up version of the tv miniseries concentrating only on the white house years . the reagans come off very human - totally devoted to each within their hysterically dysfunctional family unit - as the screenplay moves quickly ticking off all the important events during their life in the white house . james brolin gives an amazing impersonation capturing the quivering voice and the president ' s sense of naivety without reducing him to a joke as the media portrayed him . however , the film belongs to judy davis . she takes the part of nancy reagan and runs with it at full throttle playing a ferociously ambitious woman resembling the joan crawford of\nmommie dearest\n\u2026\naccording to newsweek , lawyers vetted the miniseries three times , and the \u201dthey that live in sin\u201d line was edited out , but cbs chief leslie moonves , who took over the editing ( director robert allan ackerman quit in protest ) , was apparently still not satisfied . \u201dalthough the mini - series features impressive production values and acting performances , and although the producers have sources to verify each scene in the script , we believe it does not present a balanced portrayal of the reagans for cbs and its audience , \u201d the statement read . \u201dsubsequent edits that we considered did not address those concerns . \u201d\nas cbs learned the hard way , it\u2019s impossible to divorce the political and creative components in analyzing \u201c the reagans \u201d \u2014 an uneven and , yes , unflattering biography that the network tossed to showtime in a game of corporate hot potato . taking score ideologically , the project depicts nancy reagan as a dragon lady and the former president as an amiable , square - jawed dunce blessed with a gift for gab . yet underneath that harsh glare lurks a humanizing touch , for it is also the story of a couple fiercely devoted to each other \u2014 albeit often at the expense of those around them .\nalthough speakes had spent nearly six years enhancing the president\u2019s image , his own unhedged assessment of the first couple undid much of that work . reagan , he writes , was an \u201cinexperienced and sometimes downright disinterested president . \u201d nancy was a back stabber , obsessed to the point of absurdity with guarding her husband\u2019s reputation . the reagans\u2019 children , the president\u2019s staff\u2014everyone is fair game for speakes : maureen reagan is a \u201cpunch - you - in - the - nose type\u201d who intimidates even george shultz ; edwin meese , \u201can ideologue\u201d who earned the nickname poppin\u2019 fresh for his pillsbury doughboy girth .\neven before deciding to pull the miniseries , cbs had agreed to cut one scene in which reagan displayed indifference to people with aids , saying ( in a line that the screenwriter admits reagan never uttered ) ,\nthey that live in sin shall die in sin .\nsome media observers have argued that cbs ' s decision not to show\nthe reagans\nrepresents a low point in the history of the network once considered tv ' s most fearless and independent source of news . ( see salon ' s cover story by rebecca traister . )\nwhile the authors\u2019 styles vary , their portraits of the reagans have a certain consistency . with the exception of nancy\u2019s former chief of staff , james rosebush , whose recent first lady , public wife is a coffee - table paean to the woman he once served , they limn the president and mrs . reagan in a harshly unflattering light . reagan is seen as a cheerfully detached character who has mastered the role , if not the substance , of the presidency . his diminutive helpmate is described as a tireless warrior who uses press leaks , political legerdemain and astrological guidance to protect her husband and dispense with the couple\u2019s enemies .\nthe decision not to cast younger actors to portray the reagans when they first met is a strange one , since judy davis and james brolin are age appropriate for the white house years , but at least it gives us an opportunity to spend more time with these talents . neither is at the top of the game , to be sure , but they ' re having fun portraying and often times eviscerating the iconic characters . it ' s enjoyable watching the pure mean - spiritedness this has , sometimes brimming on plagiarizing mommie dearest . bad writing , cheap wigs and judy davis ' s over - the - top turn make this the camp it ought to be .\nthe popular impression , ' ' he writes ,\nis that the reagans are so close that they drive everyone else out , even the children . that may be unfair to nancy reagan . her presence gives others an excuse for not being able to get beyond a barrier that was built long before she came into his life . ' ' and she did send a letter to kitty dukakis when she revealed her problems with drugs and alcohol ; and she did drop a note to a washington reporter who learned that she had breast cancer , and even gave her a scoop ; and she was kind to the beleaguered quayles when they arrived in washington .\nit is a movie . more precisely , it is a made - for - television movie that squeezes real life characters and historical moments into a convenient dramatic arc : a love story lived out against a backdrop of the cold war , california politics and washington intrigue . ' ' the reagans ' ' is reasonably accurate , at times engrossing , at other times silly and sometimes even dull . it is not a thoughtful look at a critical moment in american history . it is a domestic drama about a loving couple beset by hollywood agents , republican backers , scheming advisers and , most of all , their angry , needy children .\ntrash , maybe ; but not fiction . kelley ' s books should be read in the spirit in which they are rendered . just as the reagans offered a mixture of show business and politics , so kelley offers a mixture of gossip and biography . the problem with her books is that they fall between the stools . they are neither completely tacky nor completely scholarly . to read them as one would read a tabloid is to miss the instruction that they contain . to read them as one would read a work of history is to risk distorting the record . kelley ' s achievement , i guess , is to have honed the bastard genre of biography in the culture of celebrity . she brings to mind baudelaire ' s advice to readers of newspapers , that you can learn a great deal from them if you read them with the proper contempt .\nand another significant misimpression of kelley ' s work should be immediately corrected . she is not any more salacious in her treatment of her subject ( and her subject ' s husband ) than other biographers have been in their treatment of theirs . she does not practice sexual history more than , say , william manchester did in his life of winston churchill , or steven naifeh and gregory white smith did in their life of jackson pollock . her unsubtle and unsophisticated book , in fact , broaches subtle and sophisticated questions . how did the reagans use their power ? how were their personal lives at variance with the conservative morality that was at the core of ronald reagan ' s political philosophy and popular appeal ? to what extent did they sell the presidency and commercialize the white house ? how much political illusion is permissible in a democracy ?\nfirst of all , of recent presidents , the reagans and these bushes\u2014the old bushes it was true of to a certain extent\u2014are really close , tight . the husband and wife are a real team and a real marriage . they talk about things , live their lives together . laura bush , from what i can just reconstruct by studying the record and the biographical evidence , probably was the single person that had the biggest influence in turning her husband into a serious adult with a public sense of mission . she really turned his life around , because he always had leadership qualities in the sense that he was someone who knew how to bring out the best in other people\u2019s performances and had a real gift of dealing with people , but he never really got serious until he gave up some of his extended adolescent habits of conspicuous consumption and whatnot , after she got hold of him . and i\u2019ve got to think that where needed , she will always be there .\nthe \u201cevil empire\nparagraph was in the first draft , the reagan papers show .\nthe decision to pull the series sparked the same polarized response as the biopic itself , reports cbs news correspondent jerry bowen .\nthough the national board of review named it one of the top 10 films of the year .\nthe reagan library documents show that the president - - possibly with advice \u2013 removed parenthetical putdowns of the\nintelligentsia ,\nthe\nglitter set ,\nthe\nunilateral disarmers ,\nthe\nold liberalism\nand the anti - religious sectors of the news media in the united states .\nthe true believers resented the influence of the pragmatists . they saw the pragmatists as trying to remake and restrain the leader they helped elect . the true believers wanted a chance to set reagan loose .\nfrom the beginning . well before the first year , early on\u2014they developed the idea that we\u2019d have a steering committee for the state of the union . that helped .\nexhibit a of the journalistic delinquency of those dizzy years , when it was morning in america and washington was a city of flatterers and flacks , must be first lady , a portrait of nancy reagan , a glossy picture book that appeared in 1986 under the name of chris wallace , who is , please recall , a journalist .\nthe reason she looks adoringly at her husband is because she adores him , ' ' reads the caption above a picture of the reagans , wearing red sweaters and sitting with their tv trays . and there are the testimonials :\nnancy ' s anything but frivolous . she ' s very level -

term effect of this case on the judiciary and on the level of political debate remains to be seen , but the immediate result was that the senate stopped bothering to hold hearings at all on some judicial nominees who could be described as controversial under the post - bork rules of the game .\none group , the media research center ( search ) , asked major advertisers to review the script before buying commercial time during the broadcast .\ndolan said he believes a few senior advisers muffled the sterner words of his first draft . the problem , he said , was that \u201cthe pragmatists\nin the white house were afraid to let reagan be reagan while they steered\nthe true believers\naway from the president .\nthe leak was unfortunate , but more damaging yet was the reaction of the liberals , led by senator daniel p . moynihan , goldwater\u2019s co - chairman on the bipartisan intelligence committee , who announced that they had never been informed by the cia about its participation in the mining .\nsometimes the squabbling even spilled over into the press . in 1982 , for example , there were two alternative drafts of the state of the union address . i never bothered to correct it , but bill safire got this one wrong in the pages of the new york times .\nthat\u2019s right . i think insight on the news was the name of the feature page or something and that\u2019s where he was writing it .\ncontributing to the split of the republican party in 1912 was the ballinger controversy . chief of field divisions of the general land office , louis glavis , accused president william taft\u2019s head of the department of the interior , richard ballinger , of interfering in an investigation into coal mining in idaho . taft had glavis fired for insubordination and exonerated ballinger . press scandal followed , and the progressive wing of the republican party would split and join the democrats by the 1912 election .\nliberals may still decry the \u201cimperial presidency , \u201d but the reality is that since the last months of the nixon administration in 1973 - 74 , the presidency has been hampered by two major congressional restrictions on its ability to function . one , involving domestic affairs , is the budget and impoundment control act ; the other , involving foreign policy , is the war powers resolution . both passed despite president nixon\u2019s vigorous opposition , and both vastly expanded the powers of congress at the expense of the president\u2019s . to top it all off , the art of prosecutorial politics , developed during watergate , was perfected by congress during the reagan years as yet another effective weapon in the struggle for power against the executive .\n\u201ci told the speechwriters that day , ' look , the freezeniks are making real inroads into the evangelical heartland , and the president needs to address this issue , '\nremembered cizik .\nas for bin laden , reagan had nothing to do with him . reagan aided the afghans fighting the soviet invaders , demoralizing the soviets and clearly exposing the communists ' fundamentally oppressive goals .\nwhile living apart from her mother created anxiety , being so close to washington permitted the future first lady to at least attend the annual easter egg roll contest on the white house lawn during the years that grace coolidge hosted the event .\n, which took its audience . not helping matters were the negative reviews the film got at the time , though the film ' s visuals were praised and influenced the look of many science fiction films for years to come . this became\n\u201cbut we knew that what the liberal democrat leaders just couldn ' t figure out : the sky would not fall if america restored her strength and resolve . the sky would not fall if an american president spoke the truth . the only thing that would fall was the berlin wall .\nincident number two was a meeting with dr edward n brandt jr , the oklahoma physician who oversaw the first federal response to aids as assistant secretary of the department of health and human services . virginia apuzzo , who was executive director of the national gay and lesbian taskforce during the early days of the epidemic , arranged the meeting .\nin 1919 , the u . s . navy launched an investigation into claims of homosexual interactions between naval personal and civilians at newport , r . i . , initiated by then - secretary of the navy , franklin roosevelt . the methods of the investigation \u2014 keeping it almost exclusively within the navy \u2014 drew criticism from the press , and in the end the investigators themselves were accused of homosexuality after the reports were filed . wilson , already facing criticism for his handling of world war i , found himself drawn into the scandal when the inhabitants of newport wrote to him directly , complaining of the navy\u2019s handling of the investigation .\nthe flap over the $ 9 million miniseries began late last month after the times raised questions about portions of the script that were unflattering to president ronald reagan and former first lady nancy reagan .\npride causes foolishness - - pride in the sense of one of the deadly sins .\nthe budget act of 1974 was crafted by congress to rob the president of the ability to limit spending , while making it possible for a fragmented collection of congressmen to spend and at the same time to evade the responsibility for doing so .\nonce again , then , ronald reagan permitted a further weakening of the powers of the presidency .\nsignificantly , however , none of csg\u0092s objections related to the main thrust of the article , namely , the harnessing of the city\u0092s culture to tourism and regeneration agendas and the intrusion of private interests into what was previously a public sector domain .\nhanley recounts the infamous story of cutteslowe walls . cutteslowe was an area of oxford where adjoining council and private estates were built in the early 1930s to accommodate the growing population of the town , then prospering on the expansion of the first generation of motor factories . these two estates were hardly distinguishable but the developer behind the private estate thought differently and without planning permission constructed in 1934 two walls ( topped with metal spikes ) across the main road , pavements and gardens between the two estates to completely isolate the council tenants . this illegal wall stayed put until the late 1950s .\nthat used to happen occasionally on the plane with spiro agnew , when buchanan and safire were on the plane in 1970 , the midterm elections .\nyes , several . most memorably , the one on the economy was very important before the 1982 midterm elections , where he basically managed to hold the losses even though we were in a recession , because his stay the course message resonated .\nthe crown jewel of presidential scandals , richard nixon\u2019s watergate forever changed the public perception of the executive office . nixon ordered the break - in of the democratic national committee headquarters at the watergate office complex in washington , d . c . while the act itself was bad , it was the ensuing cover - up attempted by the nixon administration that became truly infamous , with nixon\u2019s constant dodging of questions and reluctance to hand over evidence eventually leading to the obvious threat of impeachment and nixon\u2019s resignation , the only president to resign from office .\nin short , the senate can withhold its ratification , or it can insist on renegotiation , but it cannot negotiate with the administration over what the senate would like the treaty to have said , thereby binding the u . s . but leaving the soviets free to adopt a less restrictive interpretation .\nkilling reagan is a slight departure in the book franchise , in that the 1981 attempt on reagan\u2019s life was unsuccessful . the book explores the assassination attempt by john hinckley on the newly elected president , and how it impacted reagan\u2019s time in office .\nthe merits of the constitutional debate were on nixon\u2019s side , but he was then at the nadir of his watergate fortunes and congress was determined to make the most of the opportunity to increase its own powers at the expense of the presidency . accordingly , the budget law passed in 1974 completely prohibited impoundments and created \u201cdeferrals\u201d and \u201crescissions\u201d in their place . henceforth presidents could only delay spending by issuing a deferral , but either the house or senate could pass a resolution ordering that the money be spent . a president could also rescind an appropriation , but for the recission to be effective , both the house and senate would have to vote their approval within 45 days . absent any action by the two houses , the president would be required to spend the funds after the 45 - day period .\nto be sure , no one then anticipated the \u201ccriminalization of policy differences , \u201d as north would later describe the phenomenon to his congressional tormentors . nevertheless , it was clear after corinto and the boland amendments that the procedure - based approach by congress to the real issues raised by the events in nicaragua would handicap the administration\u2019s policy . in the event , congress was able to starve the contras of consistent aid long enough to force them to surrender . this will likely be remembered as the major foreign - policy disaster of the reagan years , and the irony is that the \u201cgreat communicator\u201d never managed to force the yes - or - no , up - or - down vote by congress that would have established a clear line of responsibility if the contras were forced off the field of battle .\nnevertheless , before the vote on the condition , reagan\u2019s chief of staff , howard baker , announced that the white house did not oppose its inclusion , and it passed the senate overwhelmingly . having paid the price in the coin of presidential power and constitutional integrity , reagan was awarded with the treaty in time for a symbolic signing ceremony in moscow .\nthe sisters of perpetual indulgence performing an \u2018exorcism\u2019 in union square san francisco during the democratic national convention . photograph : courtesy of the sisters of perpetual indulgence\nthe war powers resolution , requiring congressional approval for the commitment of u . s . forces in combat abroad for longer than 60 days , and its progeny ( notably the five boland amendments limiting presidential discretion in aiding the democratic resistance in nicaragua ) have had the same paralyzing effect on foreign policy that the prohibition of impoundments and the evisceration of the veto have had on controlling the budget . to be sure , no president has made the mistake of acquiescing in the constitutionality of the war powers resolution , which was passed in 1973 over the veto of president nixon . but certainly they have all had to condition defense strategy on the possibility that congress might indeed some day try to enforce its provisions ."]}

3 : 22 ) . in the future , overcomers will have access to it again ( cf . rev 22 : 14 ) . god is going to provide the overcomers with intimate fellowship with christ in a place called the \u201cparadise of god . \u201d \u201cparadise\u201d is a persian word meaning \u201ca pleasure park , or garden . \u201d the greek old testament uses it to translate the garden of eden in genesis 2 : 8 - 10 . to the oriental mind it meant the sum of blessedness . christ , as the \u201clast adam , \u201d is the restorer of paradise lost ( rev 22 : 1 - 4 , and 14 ) .\nbut i\u2019ll bet you already know this . the circumstances and bizarre carriage of justice that swirled around the \u201cwest memphis three\u201d prisoners became the stuff of outsider outrage when joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky\u2019s first documentary about the murders , \u201c paradise lost : the child murders at robin hood hills , \u201d aired on hbo in 1996 .\nfilmmaker joe berlinger told mtv news that he has uncovered stunning new evidence of the innocence of the\nwest memphis three ,\nwhich will be included in the 90 - minute film .\nparadise lost revisited\nwon ' t turn up on hbo until late this year , but the original is now available on videocassette .\n\u201cparadise lost 3\u201d is perhaps the most interesting and well - made film of the trilogy , not only because of its mixed - blessing epilogue , in which echols , baldwin and misskelley were freed from prison with an alford plea deal last august . agreeing to the plea technically released them , but it left the case unsolved .\n14 the false teachers undoubtedly claimed to be functional apostles ( cf . 2 cor 11 : 13 ) rather than official apostles ( acts 1 : 15 - 26 ) .\nin their riveting \u201cparadise lost 3 : purgatory , \u201d premiering thursday night on hbo , berlinger and sinofsky return to west memphis to finish what has undeniably become a life\u2019s work . another decade has passed . the teens have aged in prison , now approaching their 40s , while appeal after appeal was denied by the judge who oversaw their trial .\nindeed , the case continues to pique interest ; another documentary from a different director , produced by \u201c lord of the rings \u201d director peter jackson , is coming soon , claiming to have details unexplored by \u201cparadise lost . \u201d the case has become a symbol , resonating with anyone who grew up in a small town and liked to wear black clothing or who felt ostracized .\nnevertheless , in the years after its premiere , paradise lost\u2019s story continued to grow , as advocacy groups began looking into the west memphis three case . meanwhile , it won an emmy for outstanding informational programming in 1997 , and it earned nominations for awards at sundance and the independent spirit awards . but something didn\u2019t sit well with the filmmakers \u2013 they thought they should do more .\nmetallica was so moved by the story that they allowed their music to be used in the first film , back in the days before\nmission impossible 2\nand\nold school ,\nwhen they regularly blocked hollywood access to their catalog . the relationship they developed with the filmmakers resulted in the acclaimed\nmetallica : some kind of monster\nfilm .\nmetallica is part and parcel to this story ,\nberlinger said .\nthe band is very proud of their association with the ' paradise lost ' movie , and i would certainly expect that to continue .\nechols was 18 when he was arrested . he is now in his 30s . and , get this \u2014 he\u2019s now married . lorri davis saw paradise lost at moma\u2019s new directors festival in 1996 and was so deeply moved by it , she began writing to echols . eventually , she began talking with him on the phone , and then moved near his prison , to little rock , arkansas .\nit is interesting to note that the first four churches in this list of seven dealt with false teachers ( 2 : 2 , 6 , 9 , 14 - 15 , 20 ) . this is why the pastoral epistles ( 1 - 2 timothy and titus ) challenge pastors to \u201cteach\u201d their congregations . ultimately , each one of us must know the truth so that we can protect our family and friends from unbiblical doctrine . how well do you think our church is doing in this area ? as elders , pastors , small group leaders , and sunday school teachers , are we guarding the flock from false teachers ?\nsatan returns to earth , and enters a serpent . finding eve alone he induces her to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree . adam , resigned to join in her fate , eats also . their innocence is lost and they become aware of their nakedness . in shame and despair , they become hostile to each other . the son of god descends to earth to judge the sinners , mercifully delaying their sentence of death . sin and death , sensing satan ' s success , build a highway to earth , their new home . upon his return to hell , instead of a celebration of victory , satan and his crew are turned into serpents as punishment . adam reconciles with eve . god sends michael to expel the pair from paradise , but first to reveal to adam future events resulting from his sin . adam is saddened by these visions , but ultimately revived by revelations of the future coming of the savior of mankind . in sadness , mitigated with hope , adam and eve are sent away from the garden of paradise .\n3 other views include ( 1 ) human messengers i . e . , pastor / teachers or elders ;

4 : 4 ; 5 : 4 - 5 ) . faith , not faithfulness is the primary focus point in this position . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john wrote that his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . moreover , the letters in revelation 2 and 3 present very different contexts than that of 1 john 5 . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming ( esp . 2 : 26 ) .\nafter it aired on hbo in june 1996 , paradise lost became one of the most catalytic documentaries ever produced . it presented the story objectively , showing the trial and reactions from the victims\u2019 family members , allowing viewers to make up their own minds about what happened . and it subsequently inspired a movement among viewers who concluded that the accused \u2013 who went on to become known as the west memphis three \u2013 had , in fact , been wrongly convicted .\nthe film ruminates in many morose ways on the passage of time and the perniciousness of set minds while acknowledging the first two films\u2019 role in bringing attention to the case . had it not been for \u201cparadise lost , \u201d the plight of the west memphis three might never have become a celebrity cause , attracting the moral and financial support of johnny depp and pearl jam\u2019s eddie vedder , among others , as well as the determined work of high - priced defense attorneys and legal experts .\nnearly everything has changed since 1993 . of the murdered boys\u2019 parents and stepparents , one mother has died . a father whose hatred for the accused was so memorably aflame in the first film has completely changed his mind and now publicly proclaims the men\u2019s innocence . the attention from the documentaries and celebrity influence has soured local perceptions of the facts in the case . though it seeks to right a series of wrongs , \u201cparadise lost\u201d remains a fascinating study in the power of media and suggestion .\none thing he won\u2019t be doing anytime soon , though , is making a fourth paradise lost . the west memphis three deserve their privacy now , he says , but he continues to monitor their story . there is only one situation that would bring him back to west memphis . \u201cthe state of arkansas was incredibly cowardly to do an alford plea , \u201d he says . \u201ci would only make another film if i thought it would result in their exoneration . that\u2019s what they deserve . \u201d\n3 . the commendation ( 2 : 2 - 3 ) . jesus is in the business of appraising his church and jesus always commends his church first , if he can . jesus commends the church in ephesus with the words : \u201ci know\u201d ( oida ) . in each message to the seven churches , jesus states , \u201ci know . \u201d 10 since this \u201ci know\u201d statement is present in each of jesus\u2019 messages , we should sense the significance of these words . not only does this statement point to jesus\u2019 omniscience , it also shows us his interest in all that we do and experience . he is the great evaluator and one day he will examine our deeds ( 1 cor 3 : 12 - 15 ; 2 cor 5 : 9 - 10 ) . 11\n6 . the challenge ( 2 : 7b ) . jesus declares , \u201cto him who overcomes , i will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of god . \u201d before we go any further we must determine who is this one who \u201covercomes . \u201d many assume that the overcomer is a reference to all christians . 28 interpreters who hold this view appeal to 1 john 2 : 13 ; 4 : 4 ; and 5 : 4 - 5 where john referred to his readers as overcomers . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john said his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . in this context , it is clear that john is using this term differently . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming .\n31 it is probably not just one tree , but a collective term referring to a whole row of trees that exist between the river and the avenue described in rev 22 . this is all a part of the beautiful park or paradise of god .\n2 . the character ( 2 : 1b ) . john records the words of \u201cthe one who holds the seven stars in his right hand . \u201d this phrase is a reference to the sovereign authority and control of jesus christ . 9 jesus holds his angels in his right hand ( i . e . , the place of honor and power ) . this phrase about jesus\u2019 character and the others contained in the seven letters are all taken from john\u2019s vision of the glorified christ ( rev 1 : 12 - 20 ) .\nduring the making of the original paradise lost , mark byers , the father of one of the dead boys , presented the filmmakers with a gift \u2013 a pocket knife speckled with dried blood . berlinger and sinofsky turned the knife over to the authorities as possible evidence in the robin hood hills killings . since then , a shroud of doubt has hung over byers\u2019s head . many believe him to be involved in the murder of the three boys , and suspicions were heightened by the mysterious death of his wife in 1996 .\n3 . to him who overcomes , to him i will give some of the hidden manna , and i will give him a white stone , and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it ( 2 : 17 ) .\n4 . the correction ( 2 : 4 - 5 ) . after praising their strengths , jesus told the ephesians in 2 : 4 , \u201cbut i have this against you . \u201d this is a frightening statement . most of us don\u2019t like when we know someone has something against us . it makes us uncomfortable . it disturbs us . but how would you feel if you knew that jesus christ had something against you ? yikes ! this should prompt us to ask , \u201cjesus , do you have something against me ? have i grieved you ? \u201d\nthree steps to return to your first love ( 2 : 5 ) : \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen , and repent and do the deeds you did at first ; or else i am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place\u2014unless you repent . \u201d\nthis particular letter is written \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus . \u201d the church in ephesus was founded by the apostle paul , 5 the believers were discipled by aquila and priscilla , taught by apollos , 6 pastored by timothy ( 1 tim 1 : 3 ) , and instructed by the apostle paul . either directly or indirectly , ephesus had been the recipient of eight new testament books : the gospel of john , ephesians , 7 1 and 2 timothy , 1 , 2 , and 3 john , and revelation . 8 ephesus was an influential city in the early church .\nthe identity of the \u201covercomer\u201d has troubled bible students throughout church history ( rev 2 : 7 ; 11 , 17 , 26 - 28 ; 3 : 5 , 12 , 21 ) . this has led to four views . view # 1 : the one who fails to overcome loses his / her salvation ( rev 2 : 11 ; 3 : 5 ) . this view must be dismissed because it contradicts the clear teaching of scripture ( e . g . , john 5 : 24 ; 10 : 28 - 29 ; rom 8 : 38 - 39 ; eph 2 : 8 - 9 ) . paul also writes to the believers at thessalonica : \u201cwhether we wake or sleep [ i . e . , whether we are morally alert or spiritually slothful ] , we should live together with him\u201d ( 1 thess 5 : 10 ) . this unconditional promise further solidifies the believer\u2019s security .\nhaving already read the book on this terrible crime i just had to obtain the dvd and i just could not stop watching it ( 5 hours long ) . if you are a true crime fan this is a must see , and if you are a believer in the death penalty it ' s a must see , however i will not go into the detail of the case only to say part 3 of lost paradise is due out in the usa on the 14th august but no release date for the uk yet , i will be one of the first to order it when available .\nrevelations makes no bones about its agenda \u2013 clearly , berlinger and sinofsky believe echols and his associates to be innocent ( or at the very least , the victims of an unfair trial ) . as far as the guilt or innocence of mark byers is concerned , the filmmakers prove more than willing to give him enough rope to hang himself . viewers of the film inclined to give byers the benefit of the doubt will find him sabotaging himself at every turn . whether he committed the murders remains an open question by the documentary\u2019s end , but one thing is for sure : if creepiness was a crime , mark byers would be on death row today .\nafter finding the first one absolutely riviting and cause for thought and discussion , we looked foward to paradise lost 2 with some anticipation . it was too long for the little new information it contained . it spent way too much time on john byers with no payoff . only after reading the urltoken website , we learned that he and his wife had quite a history of crime , drugs and abuse ; this should have been brought much more in the movie instead of his irritable rantings . the end of the movie should have tied up the loose ends better so you could come away with a good understanding of where things stood . i thought the\nsupport group\nlooked more like groupies for echols which was pretty wierd . they weren ' t much more coherent and logical than byers in many ways . i don ' t think the bite marks ruled out the boys at all ; only that they didn ' t bite ! @\nwhile we know next to nothing about their doctrine , we can be more certain of their practices . 24 the key is the practices linked with balaam ( 2 : 14 - 15 ) and jezebel ( 2 : 20 - 23 ) . the two sins found in both are idolatry and immorality . 25 the nicolaitans were a sect of loose - living believers who had perverted and compromised the faith and were bad witnesses to the truth of the gospel . they probably justified themselves with arguments about being \u201csaved by grace\u201d while they flagrantly lived in sin . the church at ephesus took a stand against these men and their teachings and was commended for doing so .\none person who did not feel so effusively about the film was barry scheck , a cofounder of the innocence project , an organization that seeks to overturn wrongful convictions through dna testing and criminal justice system reform . \u201cat the end of one screening , he stood up and said paradise lost was a dangerous film , \u201d berlinger says . \u201che felt that by allowing filmmakers in on the legal process and compromising client - attorney privilege , the film would be very damaging because the footage could be subpoenaed . he and i have since made nice in recent years and have a good relationship . he [ now ] sees the value of the film . \u201d\nin 2 : 3 , jesus again declares , \u201cand you have perseverance and have endured for my names sake , and have not grown weary . \u201d some 40 years had passed since this church was founded . two generations had risen up in the history of this church . all the while ephesus had remained faithful to jesus christ .\nand what of those poor little boys ? ( caution : \u201cparadise lost 3\u201d unflinchingly provides police footage of the crime scene . ) who killed them ? the film turns its attention to claims of dna evidence that links one boy\u2019s stepfather to the crime \u2014 a claim repeated at a rally by dixie chicks singer natalie maines . the stepfather , terry hobbs , sued maines for defamation , which may have been a miscalculation on his part : his videotaped deposition by maines\u2019s attorney opens a door from which a forgotten chill blows in , renewing a viewer\u2019s fascination once more . hobbs , who is interviewed in the film , has denied having any part in the killings .\n\u201ci\u2019ve done 13 or 14 feature documentaries , and no film has generated more intense and emotionally laden q & a\u2019s after screenings as paradise lost , \u201d berlinger says . \u201cwhen it got its screening at new film series at the museum of modern art , a brooklyn architect named lorri davis reluctantly attended at the insistence of her friends . she became so mesmerized that she came up to me after and asked many more questions . then she decided to reach out to damien on death row and they fell in love ; she ended up marrying him . lorri worked tirelessly on his appeal and one of the main reasons echols\u2019 case was not forgotten was because she took up the cause . \u201d\nperhaps the most striking aspect of paradise lost some two decades later is how plainly it presents the story . it opens with the parents of the victims condemning the teens and includes footage of a press conference where the west memphis chief inspector claimed his case against the teens was , on a scale of one to 10 , a solid 11 . one of the mothers says she figured the teens worshipped satan : \u201cjust look at the freaks , \u201d she said . but by the time the accused \u2013 baldwin , echols and jessie miskelley , jr . , the last of whom has an iq of 72 and implicated the others in a confession \u2013 appear onscreen , every aspect of the case against them seems highly questionable .\nstep 1 : remember . jesus says , \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen . \u201d the word \u201ctherefore\u201d refers back to a loss of love for the lord jesus ( 2 : 4 ) . they fell from a deep love for the lord . they fell from fellowship with him . they fell from all heart to all head . they lost warm love for the lord . the greek word translated \u201cfallen\u201d 21 means that they were in a state of spiritual decline . this was more than an occasional slip . jesus exhorts the ephesians to \u201cremember\u201d from where they have fallen . this is critical . if we remember the love we initially had for god\u2019s word , prayer , fellowship , and witnessing , we will be inspired to action .\n24 scholars differ on their understanding of this group . some think they were the followers of nicolas according to early church fathers ( cf . acts 6 : 5 ) . since their heresy seems to be associated with the doctrine of balaam in rev 2 : 14 - 15 , some believe this was an antinomian sect that advocated license in matters of christian conduct , including free love .\n4 . he who overcomes , and he who keeps my deeds until the end , to him i will give authority over the nations ; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron , as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces , as i also have received authority from my father ; and i will give him the morning star ( 2 : 26 - 28 ) .\n2 . the warnings and exhortations given to the above churches apply to us today . though each letter is written to a specific church , all seven letters close with the words , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d it is important to note , the word \u201cchurches\u201d ( ekklesiais ) is plural . john is writing for all who will listen !\nstep 3 : redo . jesus urges the ephesians to \u201cdo the deeds you did at first . \u201d the context indicates that by first works jesus wants this church to get back to their \u201cfirst love\u201d for him , the love they had when they first became christians ( 2 : 4 ) . james 4 : 8 expresses this thought in his epistle when he writes , \u201cdraw near to god and he will draw near to you . \u201d\n1 . the commission ( 2 : 1a ) . \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus write . \u201d all seven churches are addressed \u201cto the angel of the church in . \u201d the term \u201cangel\u201d 3 refers to one of god\u2019s angelic creatures . some find it strange that angels are the recipients of these seven letters . yet eph 3 : 10 informs us that what is taking place in the church is for the benefit of teaching the angels . 4\nview # 4 : the overcomer refers to faithful believers rewarded for their perseverance . according to this view , the promises of rewards are given to believers to encourage them to overcome trials through faithfulness ( luke 19 : 11 - 26 ; rom 14 : 10 - 12 ; 1 cor 3 : 11 - 15 ; 9 : 27 ; 2 cor 5 : 10 ) . the word translated \u201covercome\u201d ( nikao ) means \u201cto be victorious in a contest or conflict . \u201d hence , \u201covercomers\u201d are conquerors or victors . the context of revelation 2 - 3 restricts the meaning of the overcomer from all believers ( \u201cthem\u201d ) to a faithful believer ( \u201che\u201d ) who overcomes specific conflicts ( see john 16 : 33 ) . the primary weakness with this view is that some of the rewards can be difficult to interpret as something other than salvation . nonetheless , this view is the most convincing and will be presented throughout this series .\nwhat if jesus christ sent you and your church some mail ? would you be excited to read it ? you bet you would ! well , jesus has sent you some mail . in fact , he has written you seven different letters . they are addressed to \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 2 the first of these seven letters is written to the church in ephesus . let\u2019s read the contents of this letter .\n5 he stayed in ephesus longer than any other city ( acts 20 : 31 ) . paul had evangelized it and used it as a base of operations for at least three years ( acts 18 : 19 - 21 ; 19 ; 1 cor 16 : 8 ) . he was so successful in his ministry there that his ministry turned the city upside down ( acts 19 : 11 - 41 ) . the silversmiths launched a riot because they lost their business of making shrines of artemis .\nstep 2 : repent . the second step to return to your first love is to \u201crepent . \u201d the english word \u201crepent\u201d conveys the idea of sorrow or contrition . the greek word does not carry that idea ; it is more a total change of thought and behavior . it conveys both ideas of attitude and behavior depending on the context . \u201crepent\u201d means to change one\u2019s thinking . it is clearly connected with changed behavior , as seen in the following phrase \u201cand do the deeds you did at first . \u201d\nthe apostle john wrote seven letters to seven historical churches . each dealt with actual conditions of church life in john\u2019s day . yet , while these letters may be historic , they are nonetheless contemporary commentaries on the state of today\u2019s church . any reader of revelation 2 - 3 immediately notices the prophetic similarities between the church of the first century and the church of the 21 st century . this has led some interpreters to suggest that these seven churches are representative of the whole of church history . the following is an example :\nin this context , the one who overcomes by maintaining his first love is able to \u201ceat of the tree of life . \u201d eating with someone implies fellowship ; the one who overcomes , then , will fellowship with his savior . it refers to experiencing the joy of reward in heaven for overcoming in spiritual battles and remaining intimate with christ through it all . the term \u201ctree of life\u201d is mentioned 11 times in three books of the bible . the first time is in genesis 2 : 9 where we are told that god planted in the garden of eden , the tree of life , next to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . after they sinned by eating from the second tree , adam and eve were banished from the tree of life , lest they live forever in their fallen state . the term is used in a figurative sense in the book of proverbs . 29 but in revelation 22 : 2 , the reference seems to revert to a literal tree , 30 or better , a number of trees , 31 in the new jerusalem , bearing 12 crops of fruit , one each month , bringing healing to the nations .\nit would take more than a decade from the premiere of that film , though , before the three would be released . on august 19th , after numerous appeals , echols , baldwin and miskelley agreed to an alford plea , wherein a defendant asserts his or her innocence while pleading guilty . paradise 3 : purgatory traces the path to this moment , showing how byers had become a supporter of the three , as well as presenting speculation that one of the other stepfathers could have been involved in the murders and alleging jury misconduct . it was nominated for an oscar .\n30 in the book of rev , the tree of life is literal . it is not just a symbol for eternal life or for the person of christ . in rev 21 : 1 - 22 : 5 , john is describing the eternal state , which includes the new heaven and the new earth with the new jerusalem , a literal place with some 25 verses devoted to its description . it is not a symbol . the tree of life in eden and the tree of life in the new jerusalem ( rev 22 : 2 , 14 , 19 ) appear to be literal trees .\nthat\u2019s not good enough for jesus either ! he wants a relationship , not a performance . jesus says , \u201cyou\u2019ve lost that loving feeling . \u201d is this serious ? absolutely : jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love god ( matt 22 : 37 - 39 ) . we must love him with all of our heart , soul , mind , and strength . if we fail to love him , we disobey the greatest commandment . it doesn\u2019t matter what else we obey , if we fail to keep the highest commandment . we have struck out ! leaving our first love is the greatest sin !\nthe ephesians distanced themselves from their first love . they no longer loved the lord jesus as they did when they first came to christ . they not only took their eyes off the lord but they lost fellowship with him . the principle is that regardless of how much of the bible we may know , how much we serve him , or how many past victories we have , we cannot walk with the lord without loving him . it is significant that of all the sins jesus points out in these seven , the first sin he names is the one that grieves him most : a loss of affection for him . our god is a jealous lover .\n28 some argue that the seven letters are written to churches that have a mixture of both christians and non - christians . however , in a biblical sense churches never contain unbelievers . churches are not buildings or social gatherings . churches are assemblies of believers . since the lord was writing to churches , he was writing exclusively to believers . the word faith only occurs twice in these letters ( rev 2 : 13 , 19 ) and in both cases it is affirming the fact that the readers already have faith , not calling them to believe . surely if these seven letters were addressed to unbelievers , we would find repeated calls to trust in christ . instead , we find none .\nin high school , i used to wear pink shirts . don\u2019t ask me why . i just liked pink at that time . i would often say , \u201creal men can wear pink\u201d ( modestly implying that i was a \u201creal man\u201d ) . over the course of time , i changed my mind regarding my pink preference . this led me to no longer purchase pink shirts . in this case , the meaning of \u201crepent\u201d is clear : change your attitude toward your love for christ ( 2 : 4 ) . reverse your lackluster love into a burning love for the lord jesus . think about the depth of love you have for him . change your apathetic love to an appreciating love for him .\ntom roston is a guest columnist for pov ' s documentary blog . he is a former premiere magazine senior editor , who graduated from brown university and started his career in journalism at the nation and then vanity fair . tom ' s freelance work has appeared in the new york times , the guardian , the los angeles times , the hollywood reporter and

godfrey reggio ; 2 . hoop dreams by steve james ; 3 . stories we tell by sarah polley ; 4 . crumb by terry zwigoff ; 5 . montage of heck by brett morgen\nwhat about this church did jesus know ? jesus recognized their \u201cdeeds , toil , and perseverance\u201d ( 2 : 2a ) . these three words build upon one another . the word \u201cdeeds\u201d ( erga ) refers to any action , task , or service . the word \u201ctoil\u201d ( kopos ) is a word that means \u201cto labor to the point of weariness . \u201d in other words , \u201cdeeds done all out\u201d ! this word stresses the depth or degree of their labor for the lord . the final word \u201cperseverance\u201d ( hupomone ) refers to the capacity or ability to endure , to remain under pressure or pain , over the long haul . this word stressed the extent of their labor ( see 1 cor 15 : 58 ) . 12\nsatan gains entrance into the garden of eden , where he finds adam and eve and becomes jealous of them . he overhears them speak of god ' s commandment that they should not eat the forbidden fruit . uriel warns gabriel and his angels , who are guarding the gate of paradise , of satan ' s presence . satan is apprehended by them and banished from eden . god sends raphael to warn adam and eve about satan . raphael recounts to them how jealousy against the son of god led a once favored angel to wage war against god in heaven , and how the son , messiah , cast him and his followers into hell . he relates how the world was created so mankind could one day replace the fallen angels in heaven .\nthe ephesian church was an extremely orthodox church . they were strong in both doctrine and the work of the ministry . in 2 : 2b , jesus says , \u201cyou cannot endure evil men , and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles , and they are not , and you found them to be false . \u201d the church at ephesus refused to compromise their moral or doctrinal purity . 13 apostles may be understood here as almost equivalent to our modern term missionaries . the church had \u201cput to the test\u201d ( cf . 1 john 4 : 1 ) these visiting ministers and their doctrinal claims and had found them to be false . 14 they called a spade a spade . they could smell a heretic a mile off because they knew god\u2019s word .\njesus returns with another word of praise : \u201cyet this you do have , that you hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate\u201d ( 2 : 6 ) . though they had left their first love they had not left their former hatred for evil . jesus concludes by telling them to remain in the battle against sin . they are to remain true to the faith and resist false teaching . note how sensitive jesus\u2019 heart is toward his church . he guards against deflating them by concluding with a note of praise . \u201cyou hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate . \u201d in essence , jesus is saying , \u201cwe\u2019re on the same team . we are a lot alike . we both hate the deeds of the nicolatians . keep at it ! \u201d\nthe greek word translated \u201cleft\u201d ( aphiemi ) means \u201cto depart , leave alone , forsake , and neglect . \u201d it can also be used of divorce , 18 so the imagery here is very strong . when you lose your car keys , where are they ? when you lose your sun glasses , where are they ? if you think real hard about it , when you lose your car keys or your sunglasses , they\u2019re right where you left them ! and that\u2019s the way it is with your first love for god . if you\u2019ve lost it , guess where it is . it\u2019s wherever you left it . jesus says , go back and find it . wherever it is , it\u2019s still there because god hasn\u2019t moved ! he\u2019s waiting for you to come back .\nokay . mark byers is a wing - nut . so what . documentary # 1 : documents a witch hunt . no question . i ' m totally on board . new trial - let ' s go . documentary # 2 : perpetrates a witch hunt . drips with unintentional irony . that people can be put away for life and lethal injection based on no physical evidence or common sense even is chilling . that a documentary ( and the convicted themselves ) can then come along and blithely point fingers , also with no evidence , is no less chilling . and who are these internet activist people ? do they have jobs or what ? they are as asinine and loopy as byers . the filmmakers should have just left it at film # 1 and been done with it . but the awards and following went to their heads and they decided to crusade . ugh .\n5 . the call ( 2 : 7a ) . jesus says , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 26 note the change from an appeal to the individual , \u201che who has an ear , \u201d to the plural , \u201cwhat the spirit says to the churches . \u201d this change broadens the appeal of each message to all the churches because the messages are representative and applicable to all of us . here , the spirit of god , who is the spirit of truth and the author and teacher of scripture , is calling on us to evaluate our openness to respond to the things that need to be learned and applied in these messages . in other words , he is saying , \u201cit is not enough to have good intentions . you must follow through ! \u201d to \u201chear what the spirit says\u201d means to really listen and respond to what the spirit says .

i know it ' s overkill , but they can ' t possibly head into another fall season without any sort of ratings banker . apart from anything else , it ' s completely suicidal for any new shows .\nmy mum ' s currently watching the exit list on itv1 + 1 matt allwright - nick knowles lite . : rolleyes : knowles is having a good 2012 so far - top of the saturday ratings with who dares wins , 5m + for diy sos , perfection neck - and - neck with deal or no deal in the daytime ratings . . . . .\nbut the rewards for your risk are considerable : you probably won\u2019t have time for them all , in fact . the road itself is full of pull - over - right - now photography opportunities , but venture deeper and you\u2019ll find such rare beauties as wai\u2019anapanapa state park\u2019s black sand beach , twin falls , wailua falls , and the laid - back charm of paia town .\nmy mum ' s currently watching the exit list on itv1 + 1 matt allwright - nick knowles lite . : rolleyes : that ' s three new game shows in the last five months where itv1 haven ' t helped themselves with their choice of hosts - gethin jones in holding out for a hero , jeremy kyle in high stakes , matt allwright in the exit list . they ' ve obviously looked at knowles and thought\nwell , if he can be turned into the new bob monkhouse . . . . .\nknowles is having a good 2012 so far - top of the saturday ratings with who dares wins , 5m + for diy sos , perfection neck - and - neck with deal or no deal in the daytime ratings . . . . .\nyeah the post - 10pm xmas day slots do usually seem to be bbc territory , barring yesterday with downton , but even so , bbc1 post - 10pm held up fantastically well . ab fab with 7m , mcintyre with 6 . 4m . and anyway , post - 10pm has become a strong point in the bbc ' s schedule with come fly with me last year with 10 . 3 in the overnights ( and 12 . 47m in the officials ) , ab fab and mcintyre last night . even 14 years ago , they think it ' s all over grabbed 12m at nearly midnight . so the bbc should do what they did last night and not shut up shop at 10 . 30pm like last year , but possibly do a bit more programming after 10pm , possibly after 11pm .\ni think they ' ll just work through it , tbh . it ' s only two weeks ( they ' ll miss tuesday 31st and wednesday 1st then tuesday 7th and wednesday 8th ) . although it ' s still not ideal . moving to fall is just too big a risk for a network with so few hits , imo . reality just seems to struggle at that time of year . plus , future summers would be a nightmare without agt . on the other hand , i can see the appeal of a heavily promoted debut just after the olympics especially with howard stern on board . and starting in august gives it a head start . i think they might actually want to start early and tie up with the voice . so they could do an hour long episode of the voice ( just 2 contestants ) then the agt premiere from 9pm - 11pm . the final tuesday of the season is probably out of the question because of the american idol finale which is likely to shift to tue / wed again . if the voice does well on mondays it might make sense to move agt into a monday / tuesday pattern in keeping with nbc ' s reality scheduling in fall and midseason .\nthat ' s three new game shows in the last five months where itv1 haven ' t helped themselves with their choice of hosts - gethin jones in holding out for a hero , jeremy kyle in high stakes , matt allwright in the exit list . they ' ve obviously looked at knowles and thought\nwell , if he can be turned into the new bob monkhouse . . . . .\n* * why you might be tempted to drive it anyway : * * the builders saw fit to include 30\nwindows\nof varying sizes in the quarter - mile - long tunnel . depending on your feeling about heights , the views can be a reminder of the fall that could occur on the other side of the tunnel wall , or a window into a sweeping vista of china ' s landscape .\napologies for the off topic post , but some months ago someone on this thread very helpfully posted a link to an index page which magically cures the bug that makes threads show up in horrid plain text on a white backdrop . can whoever it was post it again ? it ' s driving me up the wall , and i can ' t multi - quote until i cure it . . . thanks .\ni agree , in the sense that channel 5 is more defined as a brand ( whether or not i like it is another matter ) . we know what audience desmond is aiming for ; actually ten years in 2002 , around september 2002 , channel 5 underwent a relaunch to five , which led into the 2 most successful years in the channel ' s history i believe with 6 . 5 % and 6 . 6 % shares in 2003 and 04 respectively . channel 5 ' s issue is also the fact that they ' ve changed their on - screen logo / identity so many times : the bbc last changed their logos in october 1997 , itv last changed their logos in 2006 from the 1998 version , channel 4 still has an incarnation of the classic blocks logo at least - there needs to be more continuity in that respect .\nrisk factor : a combination of vision - obscuring fog , narrow lanes , rough roads , and a series of one - lane bridges once made hawaii ' s route 200 so dangerous that some rental car companies would forbid customers from driving their cars on it . much work has been done to widen the narrow roadway and re - pave the roughest portions , but the low visibility and single - lane bridges are still a problem .\nthere has been no rumours of them starting filming in scotland yet which would presumably mean there will only be the last 10 episodes filmed in rochdale shown before the summer , with the scotland shark jumping series starting in the autumn . therefore i would say anytime between 15th feb and 4th april ! there is no consistancy in when waterloo road series run , it ' s started in week 1 before and has started as late as april !\nthat looks pretty good . dwts or not , the premiere airing in that slot with a lead - in from the voice and howard stern on board means that it would stand a decent chance of topping last year ' s debut ( 4 . 3 ) . the following week would be more difficult but after that they ' d be fine . they might as well keep away from tuesdays until the end of the season just in case .\ni ' m not saying that the 5 minute draws are what gets people watching these quiz shows . there might be a few people who do that but it ' s mainly the familiarity of the brand which means that lots of different game show formats can be launched under the ' national lottery ' banner and start off really well whereas if they didn ' t have that ' national lottery ' banner , they ' d have started off lower .\nrisk factor : talk about curves . the 11 - mile stretch of us 129 at deals gap , starting at the north carolina / tennessee border , is said to have 318 curves . that exact number is probably just a legend , but it ' s a darned twisty road . the curves themselves have their own nicknames , and , with monikers like pearly gates , brake or bust bend , and gravity cavity , you can tell these twists are dead serious .\n* * why you might be tempted to drive it anyway : * * independence pass is right on the continental divide , and at the summit you can find scenic overlooks that make the best use of the high elevation ; you can also take a side trip to the ghost town of independence . the royal gorge bridge has its own attraction , a 360 - acre amusement park that ' s currently being rebuilt after a 2013 fire but is expected to reopen in summer 2014 .\ni do think that it ' d be a good idea to promote the show massively throughout the olympics and then launch it on monday 13th august , the day after the olympics ends . the show is having a pretty big revamp and significant olympics promotion and howard stern ' s debut should ensure big ratings . the show could then run mondays and tuesdays into the fall , with the finale at the end of november . i know the sing off collapsed in the fall , but agt is a much stronger brand and would have over a month to lock in an audience . an improved judging panel will help and dwts is looking weaker than ever - i really do think it ' s worth a shot . they ' ve got nothing else left to try , and whilst the first month or two of the summer would be bare , if it gets them a hit in the fall then who cares ? it ' d also mean they could scale biggest loser back to one hour .\nthe number on the left is the rating - it ' s the % of people in that particular demographic who live in tv households that are watching a show . so 2 . 7 % of americans between the ages of 18 - 49 ( living in homes with a tv ) watched private practice . the number on the right is the share - just as we do it . so 12 % of adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who were watching tv were watching private practice .\npoor start for skins , although it has been available online for some time already . it had a lot of trailers over the past few weeks on tv and in cinema adverts so looks like the last series may well have done some lasting damage to the brand . perhaps it will increase as the online viewers start watching it live next week . personally i thought last night ' s ep was much better than any of last year , so at least the show has a chance of increasing now .\ni suspect you ' re right there . whitechapel will have an easy launch against the royal bodyguard but it ' ll be interesting to see what takes over the slot . itv should advertise whitechapel heavily to ensure it launches with 6m + which would give it enough breathing room if bbc1 ' s competition becomes tougher . as for the other nights , i ' m guessing benidorm will take over fridays from louk , whilst perhaps it ' ll be kidnap and ransom or case sensitive on thursdays after el ends .\ni think itv did well to run bbc1 so close for most of the night . not sure whether they ' ll repeat the da experiment next year , but based on that primetime share i can ' t see why they wouldn ' t . corrie also did really well for christmas day - wasn ' t expecting that . eastenders was always going to win so that is no surprise . da ' s rating just about where i expected it to be . will be interesting to see how they both timeshift .\ni ' ll be interested to see what they do with america ' s got talent this year . they won ' t be able to run it in its normal slots this year due to the olympics running for 2 weeks from the end of july . they just about got away with it 4 years ago when the show didn ' t run for as long ( although it cost them a fair bit of momentum ) but now it runs for every week of the summer it ' d be more difficult , particularly as it would end up stopping midway through the live shows . i do think that it ' d be a good idea to promote the show massively throughout the olympics and then launch it on monday 13th august , the day after the olympics ends . the show is having a pretty big revamp and significant olympics promotion and howard stern ' s debut should ensure big ratings . the show could then run mondays and tuesdays into the fall , with the finale at the end of november . i know the sing off collapsed in the fall , but agt is a much stronger brand and would have over a month to lock in an audience . an improved judging panel will help and dwts is looking weaker than ever - i really do think it ' s worth a shot . they ' ve got nothing else left to try , and whilst the first month or two of the summer would be bare , if it gets them a hit in the fall then who cares ? it ' d also mean they could scale biggest loser back to one hour .\namazing rating for corrie , i assumed people were over predicting , and some probably were , so to get over 11m is unexpected . also to note is the high rating for cornwall , something that should be factored in in all these endless soap scheduling discussions . panorama ' s attempt to get good ratings with a populist topic failed . nothing to say about the royal bodyguard . it must be the biggest flop on bbc1 in years when you consider they can usually guarantee to get at least 3 . 5m for everything at 9pm .\nrisk factor : this highway is the second - highest paved road in the alps ( behind france ' s col de l ' iseran ) , climbing to 9 , 045 feet with gradients as steep as 14 % . but what really makes the drivers tremble is the 60 hairpin turns packed into just 15 miles . you can count them as you go along , as 48 of them are numbered and marked by stones along the way . the route achieved further infamy when former formula one driver stirling moss drove off the road during an event .\nthis is the route of \u201cice road truckers\u201d fame , and you\u2019ll have to excuse the truckers for thinking you\u2019re crazy if you want to drive this highway for fun . let\u2019s put aside the freezing cold and often miserable road conditions , with 18 - wheelers pounding your vehicle with ice . on a single 240 - mile stretch , there are no gas stations , restaurants or basic services \u2014 the longest such stretch in north america . there are three \u2014 count \u2019em , three \u2014 gas stations the entire way . and don\u2019t count on cell service at all .\nif you impressed yourself by driving down the curves of lombard street in san francisco , this is just like that , only 1 , 000 times more challenging . called the \u201csnails pass\u201d by locals , this serpentine mountain pass in the andes connects santiago , chile , to mendoza , argentina . it reaches 10 , 499 feet in elevation , and this being the andes , it\u2019s known for getting heavy snowfall : about 15 , 000 travelers were stranded for 10 hours on the argentine side in 2013 , when the road had to be closed because of snow and cold .\nthere must be some disappointment at itv that with an 11 . 5m lead in and 2 . 8m competition on bbc1 , above suspicion could only muster 5 . 7m - only 500k ahead of mrs brown which had a 30 minute / 2 . 8m lead - in handicap . i do find these la plante plodders massively dull and procedural now , it ' s\ncrime drama by numbers\n. it seems the viewers agree . . . ( cf : 6m + for birdsong , c10m for ctm , 10m for sherlock , 10m for that thing in the stately home )\ni ' ll be interested to see what they do with america ' s got talent this year . they won ' t be able to run it in its normal slots this year due to the olympics running for 2 weeks from the end of july . they just about got away with it 4 years ago when the show didn ' t run for as long ( although it cost them a fair bit of momentum ) but now it runs for every week of the summer it ' d be more difficult , particularly as it would end up stopping midway through the live shows ."]}

' stinky ' weed , editor of the supermarket journal\nmel blanc failed to match that manic cackle up with happy rabbit , the prototype for bugs bunny . he finally found a home for it with woody woodpecker .\nso , it was natural he would land a sitcom . unfortunately , for him , he landed it at cbs . cbs comedies during this era were very hit and miss . the mel blanc show would be the first of three cbs programs that wasted a reserve of comedy talent due to sub - par scripts .\nby this time the schlesinger staff recognized mel\u2019s comedic talents and welcomed his creative participation in the recording sessions which were the first step in the animation production process .\nthis is a delightful collection of mel blanc shows that are very well worth hearing . they don ' t make comedy like this anymore .\nthe red skelton show , unlike other variety series , did not rely on guest stars every week . skelton had a strong group of support players , most of whom had worked with him on his radio program . they included benny rubin , hans conried , mel blanc , and verna felton .\nthough you may never have heard of mel blanc you have unquestionably heard his voice . out of his skilled larynx have come the voices of the train announcer on the jack benny program , pedro on the judy canova show , hubert peabody on the jack carson program and bugs bunny and porky the pig in the animation cartoons . he was also private snafu in those army training films and did more performances for the armed forces radio service than anyone else .\ntim duroche laid down the challenge . \u201chave you read robert johnston\u2019s book ? \u201d i hadn\u2019t , but , after a summer of listening to the mel blanc lectures , it was time .\nthis lecture will introduce the world of downtown portland theaters , a world inhabited by mel blanc first as a consumer and later as an entertainer . because portland was on the orpheum and pantages vaudeville circuits , mel blanc saw all the big name acts , live and on stage\u2013 just as if he had been growing up in new york or los angeles .\nbarney rubble while sylvester was closest to blanc ' s normal speaking voice , barney got mel ' s laugh , just a bit more forceful ( daws butler voiced barney rubble when blanc was in the hospital . one episode even had barney ' s voice change from daws butler ' s to blanc ' s right in the middle of the episode ) .\nit was not due to a lack of talent . mel blanc played himself and he also played his assistant zookie , who was essentially a civilian version of sad sack . throughout , the production mel blanc was supported by mary jane croft as mel\u2019s girlfriend betty and the legendary joseph kearns appeared as her grumpy father . at different times , the series was supported by hans conreid , alan reed , and jim backus among others .\nit was the first of 848 warner brothers animated shorts that mel would voice . a month later\nin 1957 , coons was the voice of space mouse on the woody woodpecker show , which featured such voice icons as mel blanc , daws butler , june foray , paul frees , and hans conried . in 1961 , coons was the voice of heap o ' calorie on the dick tracy show , a syndicated series that appeared locally on wgn - tv - channel 9 with live segments featuring ray rayner and puppeteer ron macadam . in 1969 , he had an uncredited role as a clerk in the western tell them willie boy is here .\nblanc received $ 200 for that first recording session . it became the voice track for tex avery\u2019s\n46 - 08 - 20 the athens messenger also in development for the new season is a mel blanc show for cbs , beginning sept . 3 , which goes on in place of the three - year - old theater of romance dramas . a comedy series , it will give blanc his first feature program after numerous character roles in both radio and the movies . 46 - 08 - 27 wisconsin state journal 6 : 30 theater of romance - - wbbm\nkooky characters tend to show up often , and in all those funny sounding characters and objects , we have our most satisfying mel blanc . he was a one - of - kind actor , for in him , with a nod to lon chaney , we had the\nman of a thousand voices .\nthe mel blanc project was a series of public history / art education events made possible in part by a grant from the kinsman foundation and by a grant from the james f . and marion l . miller foundation .\nthe mel blanc project is a series of public history / art education events made possible in part by a grant from the kinsman foundation and by a grant from the james f . and marion l . miller foundation .\nall quotes , unless otherwise indicated , are from that\u2019s not all folks ! my life in the golden age of cartoons and radio , by mel blanc and philip bashe .\ni don\u2019t object to a certain amount of kleptomania in radio shows but the mel blanc program has much too much of it . the authors have to cram too many old ideas in one half hour instead of being ' content with just one or two . about all i can say for the show is that it ' s good - natured and that the sound effects were wonderful .\nhappy birthday , mel blanc ! not only was he a shining example of versatility , but he was also highly influential and without any shadow of a doubt a legend in the voice acting industry . blanc will continue to live on in spirit .\nfilms : dennis will show a wwii army / navy screen magazine , one of a series of music and comedy shorts made for soldiers . this one features mel blanc making a rare live performance as a voice artist . a very rare film ! also features lucille ball and jerry colonna . dennis will also show i love to singa ( 1936 ) , a warner brothers cartoon spoofing the jazz singer which stars a young owl jolson making his radio debut .\nhis trademark laugh that mel had created in the halls of lincoln high school . he recorded the first of an eventual 30\non june 15 , 1935 the last \u201ccobwebs and nuts\u201d program aired on kex . mel and estelle blanc move to la . . on feb 7 , 1937 mel blanc was heard for the first time in a \u201clooney tunes\u201d animated short , released from warner bros . on this date , \u201cporky\u2019s road race\u201d with cast joe dougherty & billy bletcher .

( what , only female aswang can be sexy ? )\nthese numbers confirm \u201cang panday\u201d as the official top - grosser of the film festival and \u201cwapakman\u201d the box - office flop that it was earlier blogged about .\n6 . corazon : ang unang aswang ( 2012 ) . directed by richard somes ( lihim , yanggaw ) , this film earned mixed reviews around plot and production values . i\u2019m intrigued enough to plan on watching it ( given that somes helmed two of my other favorite aswang movies ) , but it has one major point against it : it\u2019s set post - wwii , implying that the aswang has 20th century origins and ignoring its folkloric roots from pre - hispanic times . we\u2019ll see if that impression is wrong when i watch it .\nin these lists , i included the manananggal because , although i think them slightly distinct if not altogether different , many consider them under the \u201caswang\u201d category . besides , i\u2019m not sure i could come up with enough manananggal movies separate from aswang movies , hee .\naswang - dering : films unseen . let me begin with aswang movies that i\u2019ve never seen . some of these i still want to watch , though at least one of these i\u2019m sure i won\u2019t bother with . in a few of them , i\u2019ve read up on the plot ( thanks , internet ) and some reviews .\n) who turns out to be an aswang . but even so , victor love elisa so much that he accepted who she is and even live with her as his second wife .\nto begin with , the love story between an aswang and a mortal is interesting . their funny and breathtaking adventures are sure to tickle audiences . then , there\u2019s the exciting fight and suspenseful chase scenes among the aswang and mortals which are guaranteed to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats . here\u2019s where the state - of - the - art visual effects come in .\nlaurel was discovered by star magic ' s big boss mr . m ( johnny manahan ) in a play of repertory philippines . luckily , she was given a break to be part of ang tv 2 , then she played as ina raymundo ' s daughter in pangako sa \u2018yo .\n3 . sa piling ng aswang ( 1999 ) . i missed this maricel soriano movie when it first came out . it also stars gina alajar , gardo versoza , a very fetching young cogie domingo , and manilyn reynes . wow , manilyn sure loves being in aswang movies , doesn\u2019t she ? that\u2019s why i love her . this being a peque gallaga and lore reyes film ( the tandem that brought us so many good horror films , including several aswang features ) , it\u2019s a must that i see this . i recently saw it posted online and will soon take the time to view .\nawe - swang : favorite frights . my top ten aswang movies , in a semblance of order from good to best ( but ranking may change occasionally depending on my mood ) , are as follows .\nearly warning : zhang yimou \u2013 whose ju dou ( 1990 ) , raise the red lantern ( 1991 ) , and hero ( 2002 ) were shortlisted for the best foreign language film academy award \u2013 will be the recipient of the 2010 asian film awards ' lifetime achievement honor . the presentation will take place at the hong kong film festival next march .\n3 . emergency , srr x ( 2008 ) . this preceded patient x by a year and had a similar premise : aswang woman in a hospital , aswang husband to the rescue , hospital siege . however , it suffered because of jan lapus\u2019 misplaced comedy , poor production values , and the unnecessary human love sub - plot . it\u2019s a shame because mylene dizon is one of our best character actresses whose talent was wasted here , and i\u2019ve always liked wendell ramos .\n4 . aswang ( 2011 ) . again not to be confused with the 1992 alma moreno film ( they just get creative with titles , don\u2019t they ? ) , i did think it was a remake of the alma movie at the start : family massacre leaves children as witnesses on the run who end up in a town besieged by aswang . after that , it went downhill as a gumbo of various movies . aside from alma\u2019s movie , others vaguely or blatantly ripped off were vampira , srr ii\u2019s aswang , and the deplorable twilight series . it doesn\u2019t help that the irritating lovi poe is the lead . i could watch paulo avelino over and over , but he wasn\u2019t sufficient to keep this thing alive . the climax was a non - climax , and who didn\u2019t see the ending coming ?\n\u201c ang panday \u201d ( the swordsmith ) was adjudged best picture in the ongoing metro manila film festival ( mmff ) and bested 6 other movies by cornering a majority of the awards handed out last night at the smx convention center . the gma films / imus productions venture , which garnered 7 trophies in total , is also gunning to be the top grosser in terms of box - office earnings .\n* the other two , non - aswang - themed srr episodes of the new millennium that i think are good are srr 8\u2019s lrt ( despite a stilted ending ) and srr x\u2019s nieves ( which was a deliberately - funny pinoy take on the awesome buffy the vampire slayer ) .\nzhang yimou on the set of a woman , a gun and a noodle shop a . k . a . a simple noodle story . best known for his lush collaborations with gong li ( raise the red lantern , shanghai triad , curse of the golden flower ) , zhang yimou has been announced as the recipient of the asian film awards ' lifetime achievement honor , to be presented at the 2010 hong kong film festival in march .\nthough they belong to different \u201craces , \u201d ida tells eliza that it\u2019s not bad to fall in love with victor for it might free her from the curse of being an aswang because there\u2019s a legend that only the purest of love can turn a \u201ccreature of the night\u201d into a normal human being .\n9 . punerarya , srr 12 ( 2010 ) . as mentioned above , recent srr movies have been mediocre , but they produce an occasional gem . there are probably only four really good episodes since 2005 , two of which are aswang - themed * . this 2010 episode is one of those two . not your typical aswang story , it had sid lucero turning in a scary yet nuanced performance . carla abellana and the rest of the cast also shone , including mart escudero in a short role . i did not see that twist ending coming , but that\u2019s testament to a well - made film that still had unpredictable surprises .\nthrough the prodding of tom and gerry , victor eventually courts eliza and they became sweethearts . his daughters also came to like her in the long run . but at one point , eliza reveals to victor her true identity : that she\u2019s an aswang . she asks him if he will still love her despite her dark secret .\n1 . aswang ( 1994 ) . not to be confused with the 1992 alma moreno film , this is actually an american production of the b - movie kind . it is set in the usa as well . reviews range from \u201cawesome cult classic\u201d to \u201cawful trash , \u201d so i cannot gauge if i want to attempt looking for it or not .\n2 . yaya , srr 8 ( 2006 ) . aside from re - using the title of an srr classic ( from srr iii ) , this story about a yaya after her young charge is basically a rip - off of said episode , except it\u2019s an aswang instead of a spirit . what also ruined this are the un - scary costumes . not even iza calzado , of whom i am a huge fan , and tj trinidad , an underrated great actor , can save this drek .\naswangit : the hall of shame . here are , in my opinion , some of the fails of the aswang genre . perhaps \u201cshame\u201d might be too strong a word ; most aren\u2019t too good , but they\u2019re not downright despicable . it\u2019s interesting that most of them are episodes from the \u201cshake , rattle , and roll\u201d ( srr ) trilogy series , which has generally been mediocre since its 2000s comeback except for a random episode here and there ( yet i still watch it year in , year out \u2013 go figure ) .\nwe use cookies to ensure you get the best experience on pep . ph . by continuing to browse our site , you are agreeing to our use of cookies . find out more here .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na man meets the girl of his dreams , only to discover that she ' s an monster . it isn ' t long before he gets caught in a conflict with an entire gang of monsters , as they fight over the fate of the young maiden .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul -

time high of p450 million .\nnothing much has changed in terms of rankings , except for \u2018mano po 6\u2019 inching its way one slot higher to 5th . the top 3 has remained as such and manny pacquiao\u2019s \u2018wapakman\u2019 continues to miserably languish in the 7th and last place . here are the updated box - office grosses of the metro manila filmfest entries as of december 31 , 2009 :\nthe 7 movies have up until thursday , january 7 , to dominate the multiplexes nationwide . by friday , its back to regular programming when \u2018sherlock holmes\u2019 and the \u2018squeakquel\u2019 of alvin and the chipmunks finally open .\nearly official figures for the box -

interest , begins a relationship with a bulimic cheerleader named christine ( georgia ford ) in the thought he can be with her at school and henrietta in private , and honestly believes everything happening is some joke his cultivated \u201chard edge\u201d allows him to ignore . he\u2019s a racist , misogynistic , poser trying to aspire towards the glorifications of tupac shakur and an exonerated o . j . simpson .\ni tried finding information on the internet to get a better idea of where the film was coming from but the only thing i dug up was a facebook page devoted to its 90s aesthetic . with time warp photos of the cast and scrapbooked memories of events from the era ruling the page\u2019s wall , it seems as though kevin smith\u2019s movie club and partner phase 4 films are as concerned with exteriors as jolie . there\u2019s simply too much darkness underlining these characters\u2019 actions to gloss over everything as \u201ckids being kids\u201d in a hip retro look . maybe i don\u2019t \u201cget it\u201d or want it to be more than what\u2019s onscreen\u2014i don\u2019t know . i\u2019d probably forgive the rest if it was laugh -

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 -

quality .\nanother film dealing with the life of a little boy made with great sensitivity and compassion is \u201cshonen\u201d ( \u201cboy\u201d ) . the boy in the title is little toshio . toshio , who moves around the country with his unemployed parents , is pushed against moving cars by his father then used as fodder in a scam to extort cash on the spot from unsuspecting terrified drivers . believe it or not , the story is based on the experiences of a real family . i saw \u201cboy , \u201d a film from 1969 , long before i met its director and have always considered it one of his best films , along with \u201cin the realm of the senses\u201d and \u201cmerry christmas , mr . lawrence . \u201d\ni really enjoyed kubo , and my appreciation for its art deepened tremendously when i realized it was created using models and stop motion , rather than cgi made to look like stop - motion animation . i am really looking forward to the japanese release , as although i am japanese american , and speak very limited japanese , the voice acting kept pulling me out of the world , in the same way that a miyazaki film loses something magical when dubbed to english . i know the irony is that this is an american film , but the world that laika has crafted is so beautifully japanese . the filmmakers have captured that essence in so many amazing and nuanced ways . thanks for the wonderful review .\nwith respect to the conditions for drying the resin composition in the form of a resin varnish , there is no particular limitation , but , for permitting the resultant release film to retain lamination properties , it is important that the resin composition being dried is cured to an extent as small as possible . on the other hand , when the resultant release film contains the remaining organic solvent in a large amount , a blister is caused on the release film after being cured , and therefore the resin varnish is dried so that the organic solvent content of the resin composition becomes 5 % by mass or less , preferably 3 % by mass or less . specific drying conditions vary depending on the curing properties of the resin composition or the amount of the organic solvent in the resin varnish , but , for example , a resin varnish containing an organic solvent in an amount of from 30 to 60 % by mass can be dried at 80 to 120\u00b0 c . for 3 to 13 minutes . those skilled in the art can appropriately select preferred drying conditions from a simple experiment .\ni just finished this movie and really enjoyed it . i have never been a fan of american horror movies , however the latest batch of of horror movies from asia such as the eye , phone , a tale of two sisters etc . have been great . if you want a scary movie do not get shikoku go watch phone or something else , this movie was a good drama dealing with the death of loved ones , and tragic love the supernatural aspects of this movie were mearly a back ground to provided loss and broken dreams . in my opinion this movie and the eye are not horror but dramas with supernatural aspects\n4 parts of a liquid bisphenol a epoxy resin ( epoxy equivalent : 180 ; \u201cjer 828el\u201d , manufactured by mitsubishi chemical corporation ) , 0 . 1 part of an imidazole cure accelerator ( \u201c2p4 mz\u201d , manufactured by shikoku chemicals corporation ) , 40 parts of a modified polyimide resin varnish a , 20 parts of mek , 6 . 8 parts of a dicyclopentadiene epoxy resin ( epoxy equivalent : 280 ; \u201chp 7200h\u201d , manufactured by dic corporation ) , 18 . 5 parts of aluminum hydroxide ( \u201ch -

day landings in june 1944 . hardy , receiving the pay of an army sergeant , also photographed the liberation of paris on 25th august . he followed the troops into germany and in one picture recorded general miles dempsey crossing the rhine . he also took photographs of concentration camp victims .\nin 1942 hardy was called up into the army and put into public relations for the war office . as the war office supplied stories to all the magazines , hardy ' s ambition was to get a story into both picture post and illustrated each week ; this he managed to do on numerous occasions .\nhardy became famous for his work published in liberal photojournalistic magazine picture post from 1941 until the magazine ' s closer in 1957 . a self - taught photographer , hardy became the post ' s chief photographer quickly , after his first work was published . it was a study of firefighters during the blitz .\nbut bert produced nothing he was happy with in two years and through the work he had started doing for esso magazine and bowaters began making contacts in advertising .\nto my great excitement , we found a remarkable new photographer . bert hardy was a young cockney , the eldest of seven children , who had left school at fourteen . he left on a friday afternoon and started work on saturday morning in a printing and developing works at ten shillings a week with sixpence an hour overtime .\nbert was born on may 19th 1913 , the first of seven children to carpenter albert \u2018seagull\u2019 hardy and blanche , his charlady wife . the family home consisted of two small rooms at the top of priory buildings on webber street just off the blackfriars road , where they slept at night packed like sardines into one double bed .\nwith the light gone , hardy and cameron took an empty landing craft back to the mother ship where bert was informed that their landing had taken place on the wrong beach , one still being softened up by \u2018friendly fire\u2019 . other reports indicate the north korean forces may have already surrendered by the time blue beach was reached .\nhardy went on to shoot two stories which he seemed to enjoy immensely \u2013 hop picking in kent , and the port - wine harvest in portugal \u2013 but his constant travels were putting pressure on his personal life , and although they moved house from eltham to blackheath , bert was no longer getting on with his wife dora .\nborn in 1913 , hardy was the eldest of seven children . the family lived in two rooms \u2013 and one double bed \u2013 in a building near london\u2019s south bank\nhardy was dispatched to newcastle where an air raid had been reported . after scratching around he found a dimly lit brick - lined tunnel , \u201cwhere nervous people sometimes went at night\u201d . using the available light from a few strung - out light bulbs bert took pictures hand - holding his leica at 1 / 4 of a second .\nself taught and using the small leica camera instead of the traditional larger press cameras , hardy was recruited by the editor of picture post , tom hopkinson , in 1941 .\nin the warehouse fire , bert\u2019s suit had been burnt and his camera damaged . tom hopkinson ensured picture post paid the cost of replacing both for the criterion press photographer .\nback in london in the picture post darkroom on shoe lane , bert\u2019s photographs were pasted together to produce a panorama which was published in picture post on april 20th 1957 .\nwhen bert hardy came in to see me he was in his twenties and already an experienced cameraman . to try him out i offered him a difficult assignment . the blitz had started and i asked him to take pictures inside street shelters . no flash must be used and the pictures must make the reader feel he was inside with the shelterers in semi - darkness while bombs were falling . bert passed the test triumphantly ; i at once took him on the staff and he was soon a mainstay of the magazine .\nbert hardy , born in london , worked his way up from a lab assistant to become a photographer . his talent flourished as a staff photographer on picture post , joining the illustrated magazine during the second world war . as well as travelling with the armed forces , his images of the blitz are amongst the finest and closest to the action taken .\nbert hardy always said it was the few years in advertising which enabled him to buy his farm in limpsfield chart and , as the farming activities decreased , he and his wife made it a base from which to explore the new opportunities of lectures , exhibitions and print sales . for many of us , too , it became a place of pilgrimage .\nmoore used a 35mm leica . amazed at the detail in moore\u2019s prints hardy saved up and bought a second - hand model \u2013 probably a leica i \u2013 which he described as old , black and with a fixed 50mm f3 . 5 standard lens . \u201ci never looked back after buying my first leica , \u201d bert was to say in later life .\nbert was invariably the good companion who\u2019s instinctive images unfailingly conveyed an empathy with the poor and underprivileged showing that whatever misfortune was thrust upon them these people retained their human dignity .\nbert knew life would pay three to four times his picture post salary , but he also knew the american giant would publish only one in every four or five stories he shot .\nfor some time bert and sheila had been thinking about buying a cottage in the country . in february 1964 sheila spotted a farm in surrey advertised for sale in the sunday times .\nthen began the period for which bert hardy ' s work is best remembered : liverpool , tiger bay , the girls by the seaside and the gorbals , where his intimate pictures of the inside of houses and close - ups of people contrasted well with the cooler exterior shots of bill brandt . he worked for hours with the writer bert lloyd on that story and much appreciated the teams that tom hopkinson built up of writers and photographers , which avoided the friction that can sometimes happen between the writing and picture - making sides of photo - journalism .\nalthough authenticated reports had been filed \u2013 but never published \u2013 by picture post correspondent stefan schimanski and photographer haywood magee in july 1950 and the times , on wednesday october 25th 1950 , was to confirm the ill - treatment of political prisoners by the south korean police in chilling detail , hopkinson knew the combination of james cameron\u2019s words and bert hardy\u2019s pictures would create controversy .\nbert hardy\u2019s images for \u2018life in the elephant\u2019 exposing the area\u2019s pattern of life are complimented by bert lloyd\u2019s lyrical introduction : \u201dits voice has the rasp of trams , trains , trucks . its eyes have the blaze of street - stalls , eel - stands , pin - table arcades and chestnut cans . its anatomy is decked with sooty bricks , cast iron spikes and the marble pillars of pubs . its heart is that of its people \u2013 kind as a housewife , rough as a worker , busy as a tradesman , wide as a wide - boy . \u201d\nnever inclined to photograph corpses bert realised that he had to record what he was witnessing . he knew no one would believe such things could happen were they not to see photographic proof .\nthe french got nothing exceptional at the opera that night , and bert\u2019s composite panorama made a double page spread . but it was to be his last great picture published in picture post .\none of bert\u2019s earliest advertising shoots was on the strand cigarette campaign for the bensons advertising agency \u2013 a campaign distinguished as one of the least successful flirtations between cigarette advertising and french philosophy .\neven for james cameron and bert hardy who had produced the fateful story , resignation was a luxury neither could afford . to keep them out of trouble the pair were dispatched to the remoteness of the himalayas in a search for the dalai lama , who , following the chinese invasion of tibet , had escaped lhasa and was in hiding in the chumbi valley near the indian border .\nhaving taught himself about apertures and shutter speeds by trial and error , and how to gauge distance by pacing between lamp posts , hardy\u2019s career as a photographer began with a photograph of royalty .\nnevertheless tom hopkinson recalled , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d\nthe british were given two permits . \u201cand the french police were making sure that\u2019s all we had , \u201d said hardy . picture post \u2013 then paris match\u2019s main rival \u2013 received no accreditation .\ntwice a day bert went on a round of west end chemist shops collecting and delivering film and prints , often jumping onto the backs of passing lorries and carts to save on bus fares .\nbert had passed his test triumphantly , and was to become the mainstay of picture post . assignments were to come thick and fast . the world was at war . london was being bombed .\nbert\u2019s older son michael also became a photographer . mike had begun working in the picture post darkrooms , but when the magazine folded he landed the job as paris photographer for the daily express .\nhardy was dispatched to blackpool where the lord mayor presented him with an amateur camera . with this most basic of devices plus the minor adaptations of a close up lens , a yellow filter and an improvised cardboard viewfinder , bert roamed blackpool\u2019s golden mile looking for images . he searched without great success until he hit upon the idea of asking the showgirls from the pier theatre to help out .\n\u2018the ideal picture tells something of the essence of life , \u2019 hardy wrote . \u2018it shows some aspect of humanity the way the person who looks at the picture will at once recognise as startlingly true\u2019\nbert thought he must also have got onto the roof of one of the buildings to take pictures of firemen fighting the blaze from the tops of their ladders , although he couldn\u2019t recall doing so .\ngordon fasier , 1985 . soft cover . condition : very good . soft cover version published by gordon frasier , london , 1985 . this copy is signed and personalized by the author . it reads ,\nduane and lucille , very best wishes , bert hardy 6 / 4 / 85 .\na unique copy of an amazing photographic autobiography . $ 150 . signed by author ( s ) .\nthe same prints kept by hardy , who died in 1995 aged 82 , go on display \u2014 and on sale , from \u00a32 , 500 \u2014 at the photographers\u2019 gallery from may 13 to july 3 .\nwhen hardy viewed his negatives under a green safelight there was nothing to see . another half hour in the super - soup produced the faintest of highlights . frustrated , bert put the films back in the developer and went to visit his mother across blackfriars bridge . he let himself in to her house but as everyone was asleep made himself a cup of tea . he thinks he may have dozed off .\ntwo months after shooting the fire - fighters , bert left bertram collins and criterion to join picture post as a staff photographer on a freelance basis . his guarantee was \u00a38 a week , plus expenses .\nin london there was a bigger wedding to cover . in what bert described as one of england\u2019s periodic fits of royalty fever , the future queen elizabeth was marrying the duke of edinburgh in westminster abbey .\nunsuccessful in their quest for the tibetan spiritual leader ( who was not to flee tibet for another nine years ) , hardy and cameron settled on a story including the life of the monks at the monastery at pedong , situated high on a trans - himalayan trade route between india and tibet ( picture post , february 24th 1951 ) . for a while on the silk road hardy thought seriously about becoming a buddhist .\nduring the 1930s rising wages and falling production costs had turned cycling into a popular sport . bert joined a cycling club and combining his passion for cycling with his photography began submitting photographs to the bicycle magazine .\nwhen bert broke the news to mr duke , his boss at central photographic , duke was so embarrassed at the idea of a man keeping a wife on less than \u00a33 a week that he sacked him .\nthe first assault took place around 6 : 30 am following a heavy bombardment by the us fleet on north korean positions . the section where hardy and cameron were would not see action until high tide that evening .\nfar east command in kandy , ceylon and then to singapore where he was detailed to organise lord louis mounbatten\u2019s press section along fleet street lines . bert streamlined the developing , printing , captioning and world wide syndication .\nhardy was to escape angry mobs in sudan and egypt , cover the mau -

soup to develop . knowing the images were underexposed , he doubled his usual processing time from sixteen to thirty minutes .\nmost of picture post\u2019s employees were sacked . but in a good will gesture nika hulton , sir edward\u2019s russian wife , asked bert to stay on to work for the remaining hulton publications including lilliput , farmers weekly and housewife .\nwhen he heard that a photographer could earn good money on fleet street \u2013 then the heart of the british newspaper industry \u2013 hardy bought a plate camera for 50p from a pawn shop on the cut opposite london\u2019s old vic theatre .\nsuspected opponents of the south\u2019s authoritarian nationalist leader syngman rhee , the captives were political prisoners . bert wondered how a fourteen year old could hold political views . it seemed evident that they were about to be taken off and shot .\nbert was , i am sure , as alarmed as i was , but there was one signal difference in our roles : he had to take the pictures , and it was long ago established that one way you cannot take pictures is lying face - down in a hole . i spent considerable periods of time doing that . bert , on the other hand , was plying his trade upright in the open , cursing the military exigencies that had organized this invasion in the middle of the night . one of my enduring memories of that strange occasion is of bert hardy on the seawall of blue beach , blaspheming among the impossible din , and timing his exposures to the momentary flash of the rockets . that is the difference between the reporter ' s trade and the cameraman ' s . his art can never be emotion recalled in tranquillity . ours can - or could be : the emotion is easy ; the tranquillity more elusive .\nhardy later served as a war photographer in the army film and photographic unit ( afpu ) from 1942 until 1946 , covering the d - day landings in june 1944 , the liberation of paris and the allied advance across the rhine .\nhaving published the inchon landings feature immediately , editor tom hopkinson delayed publication of the story of the ill - treatment of political prisoners until he had confirmed every detail face to face with hardy and cameron in picture post\u2019s shoe lane offices .\nthey drove down to see it , and although the farm needed a lot of work the two londoners bought it and moved in that april . undeterred by their lack of knowledge bert and sheila began learning everything about farming from scratch .\nmost of the exhibited photographs were taken using hardy\u2019s second - hand leica camera , which he adapted to shoot in poor lighting conditions . this is piccadilly circus in central london , a place to meet and escape the postwar gloom in 1953 .\nbert hardy was born in 1913 , the eldest of seven children in a poor working - class family . leaving school at fourteen , he started work as a delivery boy for a film processing laboratory . captivated by photography , he bought a secondhand camera and started on a career that led to his employment as a full - time member of picture post , the foremost magazine of its time . bert became a mainstay and his images are amongst its best known . a selection of his stunning images of britain at war and in the austerity years that followed are reproduced in this first major book on his work . this long overdue tribute marks the centenary of his birth and places him amongst the best of twentieth century photographers .\nwith the dismissal of editor tom hopkinson by owner edward g . hulton in 1950 after the publication of a piece ( illustrated by hardy ) showing south korea\u2019s treatment of political prisoners in the korean war , the magazine went into fairly swift decline .\noriginal prints of the inchon landings . hopkinson wrote , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d photo \u00a9 graham harrison .\njust hours before the british were to make the crossing bert set up his contax on a tripod on the heights at staaland to photograph the river at night . the rhine , crowded with barges and landing craft was lit by an eerie moon .\nas great - grandson of queen victoria , brother to the queen of sweden and supreme allied commander in south east asia , the amiable mountbatten was as aware of his own importance as he was the power of the photograph in promoting it . bert\u2019s\nborn 100 years ago , hardy is probably the best known of all the picture post photographers . his stories cover situations as diverse as the korean war , the portuguese rice harvest , fashion on the french riviera , italian immigrants in britain , and the chinese invasion of tibet . today , his images are still widely used in all contexts from editorial features to interior decor . the images are classic , timeless and transcend territorial and language barriers thanks to hardy\u2019s ability to capture the essence of every story .\nas young boys , les mason and his friend george davis were photographed by hardy as they walked arm in arm in glasgow . gorbals boys was taken in 1948 to highlight poverty in the city . the gorbals was among europe ' s worst slums .\nafter picture post folded in 1957 , mr . hardy turned down an offer to take pictures for life and worked for several years in advertising , often using ordinary people as models . in 1964 he bought a farm in oxted , surrey , and retired .\nbert took to carrying a print of the concentration camp in his pocket which he would show to any german who refused to accept that such things had happened . even then some germans refused to accept that images of the death camps were not allied propaganda .\nthe exhibition focuses on hardy ' s postwar images , when he was assigned to capture the daily lives of his fellow britons . this 1954 photograph , as britain struggled to recover from the deprivations and shortages of global conflict , he provocatively named too many spivs .\nthe air was thick with rockets and shells as the photographers and journalists became the first invaders to make landfall . with the light fading fast , bert put on a tin hat for the first time in his life and poked his head above the sea wall .\n\u201cit had rained that day , and there were a few puddles on the ground . the prisoners were being closely watched by armed guards , but the intense heat must have made them very thirsty . whenever they thought that no one was looking , they would scoop up the rainwater from the ground and drink it . if one of the guards saw them doing this , he immediately set on them and beat them mercilessly with his rifle butt , \u201d wrote bert hardy . \u201cthese guards were in the army of our allies . \u201d\nwhen the fire - fighter story was published , hopkinson ended it with the famous caption , \u201dfrom our rule of anonymity we except these pictures . they were taken by a . hardy , one of our photographers . \u201d ( picture post , february 1st 1941 ) .\nwhen they were midway across german mortar positions got the launch\u2019s range and began peppering the river with fire , sending sheets of water into the air . dempsey\u2019s launch reached the allied side and everyone took cover as hardy took some more images of the general under fire .\nthe only photographs bert could get that evening were on his contax at speeds as low as 1 / 25 of a second at f1 . 4 . the american press working with speed graphics , with a widest aperture of f4 . 5 , got next to nothing .\nin contrast to the squalor hardy often recorded , he was also sent to cover the marriage of princess elizabeth to lt philip mountbatten in 1947 . here bridesmaids adjust the veil and train of the future queen as she arrives at westminster abbey with her father king george vi .\nin newly independent india , bert photographed the country\u2019s first prime minister jawaharlal nehru , in france the gypsy festival of the black virgin at saint maries - de - la mar in the camargue and in poland the wedding of a scottish girl to a polish soldier in warsaw .\nautumn was turning to winter , and the elephant was shrouded in thick smog . all the two bert\u2019s could manage were images of trams and smog , and of smog and trams . that was until they met maisie , a prostitute who\u2019s husband was in prison for robbery .\nat this time he also set up a processing house , grove hardy , with gerry grove , who had worked as a printer for picture post , and which was used by many of the younger generation of fleet street and documentary photographers for both their personal and professional work .\nwhat the grand occasion was may be lost in the mists of time , but king george v and queen mary were in regal procession down the blackfriars road in an open carriage when spotting the young hardy with his camera among the cheering crowds , the monarch turned in acknowledgement .\ngerman bombers had started the blitz of british cities , and hopkinson asked bert to do a shoot on the street shelters . he could not use flash and the pictures must make the reader feel they were in the semi - darkness , with the families as bombs were falling .\non july 1st bert crossed the channel himself and was sent to the strategic city of caen where the germans were putting up fierce resistance . amid being mortared and documenting captured german soldiers and nurses at work on the injured he met george silk of life magazine and robert capa ."]}

here different opinions are possible . on the one hand , one might think that a regress still leads to a skeptical conclusion . so although the exact form in which hume stated his problem was not correct , the conclusion is not substantially different ( sober 1988 ) . another possibility is that the transformation mitigates or even removes the skeptical problem . for example , norton argues that the upshot is a dissolution of the problem of induction , since the regress of justifications benignly terminates ( norton 2003 ) . and okasha more mildly suggests that even if the regress is infinite , \u201cperhaps infinite regresses are less bad than vicious circles after all\u201d ( okasha 2005b : 253 ) .\nschurz\u2019s theorems on the optimality of wmi apply to the case where there are finitely many predictive methods . one point of discussion is whether this amounts to an important limitation on its claims to provide a full solution of the problem of induction ( eckhardt 2010 ) .\nackermann , r . , 1976 , the philosophy of karl popper , amherst : university of massachusetts press .\nburke , t . e . , 1983 , the philosophy of popper , manchester : manchester university press .\nshearmur , j . , 1996 , political thought of karl popper , london & new york : routledge .\nstove , d . , 1982 , popper and after : four modern irrationalists , oxford : pergamon press .\n39 . bryan magee , popper ( london : fontana , 1973 , 1985 ) , p . 22 .\nnow we can go on and see how popper uses these logical conclusions to inform his theory of science .\npopper , ` content ' and ` degree of confirmation ' : a reply to dr . bar - hillel\nso no hard core , no difference of opinion as far as i can see , underlies professor sellars ' first lump - - although i seem to differ with him about the relevance of his comments .\nhume\u2019s argument is one of the most famous in philosophy . a number of philosophers have attempted solutions to the problem , but a significant number have embraced his conclusion that it is insoluble . there is also a wide spectrum of opinion on the significance of the problem . some have argued that hume\u2019s argument does not establish any far - reaching skeptical conclusion , either because it was never intended to , or because the argument is in some way misformulated . yet many have regarded it as one of the most profound philosophical challenges imaginable since it seems to call into question the justification of one of the most fundamental ways in which we form knowledge . bertrand russell , for example , expressed the view that if hume\u2019s problem cannot be solved , \u201cthere is no intellectual difference between sanity and insanity\u201d ( russell 1946 : 699 ) .\npopper ' s solution was certainly correct in one respect . the problem of induction would indeed vanish if there were no such thing as induction . however , the issue would be resolved much more positively were it to turn out that hume had been wrong , and that there never had been any problem with induction in the first place . and , in point of fact , this is the case . despite his great skill as a thinker and writer , hume missed the point . induction does not depend for its validity on observation , but on the law of identity .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nformal learning theory can be regarded as a kind of extension of the reichenbachian programme . it does not offer justifications for inductive inferences , in the sense of giving reasons why they should be taken as likely to produce a true conclusion . rather it offers reasons for following particular methods based on their optimality in achieving certain desirable epistemic ends , even if there is no guarantee that at any given stage of inquiry the results they produce are at all close to the truth . recently , however , steel ( 2010 ) has suggested that formal learning theory offers more , and does provide a solution to the problem of induction . this claim is based on a rather restrictive interpretation of \u201chume\u2019s problem\u201d as the problem : \u201cwhat is the justification for making inductive generalizations at all ? \u201d ( 2010 : 182 ) , rather than as the problem of giving the grounds for a given inductive inference . steel\u2019s claims have been disputed by colin howson ( 2011 ) .\nas a footnote here , it may be recorded that popper was not renowned for living up to his philosophy in his professional life . his obituary in the times recorded his reputation as\na difficult man .\nthe daily telegraph commented ,\npopper ' s belief in his own infallibility was remarkable .\n40 later , the times magazine reported that popper ' s students at the london school of economics found him so intolerant of criticism that they used to joke about\nthe open society , by one of its enemies .\n41\n. thus i should be inclined ( not more than this ) to entertain the opposite conclusion to the one drawn by professor ryle although , admittedly , the premises would be insufficient for a formal derivation of the conclusion .\nmacdonald , g . & catton , p . , 2004 . karl popper : critical appraisals , london : routledge .\n24 . c . f . anthony o ' hear , karl popper , op cit . , p . 97 .\nthere is besides the singularly popperian problem of marxism . marxism was one of the theories which led popper to develop his conception of demarcation in the first place :\ni had been shocked by the fact that the marxists . . . were able to interpret any conceivable event as a verification of their theories\n[ unq 41 - 2 ] . yet in\nreplies to my critics\npopper changed his tune :\nmarxism was once a scientific theory\n;\nmarxism was once a science\n[ pkp2 984 - 5 ] . no doubt popper would have swamped this objection with distinctions between marx and marxism , 24 but the notion that marxism could both be and not be a science does little to inspire confidence in popper ' s theory of demarcation .\none option here is to think that the significance of the problem of induction is somehow restricted to a skeptical context . hume himself seems to have thought along these lines . for instance he says :\nafter presenting the problem , hume does present his own \u201csolution\u201d to the doubts he has raised ( e . 5 , t . 1 . 3 . 7\u201316 ) . this consists of an explanation of what the inductive inferences are driven by , if not reason . in the treatise hume raises the problem of induction in an explicitly contrastive way . he asks whether the transition involved in the inference is produced\nsecond , professor haack ( in common with many others , including perhaps kuhn himself ) is too quick to conclude that thomas kuhn ' s theory of scientific revolutions is inconsistent with popperian falsificationism . popper and kuhn both believed that scientific theories are based on certain axioms , which could prove false , and always contingent . moreover , despite kuhn ' s criticisms of popper and falsification , his own theory of anomalies ( discrepancies between theories and observed facts ) seems to depend on falsification for the erosion of the existing paradigm prior to its replacement by a new paradigm . kuhn was not nearly the scientific relativist that he is often made out to be . in chapter xiii of the\nat the same time , it is perfectly true that i had professor ryle in mind when , in another paragraph of my paper , i tried to chow briefly that the theory of ' category - mistakes ' is also untenable .\nstokes , g . , 1998 , popper : philosophy , politics and scientific method , new york : wiley & sons .\nnow i agree with professor popper that the two - language theory of the 1930 ' s , which continued , as he points out , the tradition of neutral monism ,\nis no longer tenable\n. i also agree that\nthe idea of a mutual translatability\nof - - shall we say - - mind talk and behaviour talk\nhad to be given up long since\n, in spite of ryle ' s valiant efforts to the contrary . i do not agree , however , that\nwith it the two - language solution disappears\n.\ngarrett , don , 2002 , cognition and commitment in hume\u2019s philosophy , oxford : oxford university press .\nperkins \u2013 macgowran\u2019s number two in the lab , as portrayed by richard wattis . he really cares .\nwardrobe , quick jack , someone\u2019s coming , get in the \u2013 well , it worked in monique .\nwheedling \u2013 what most of harrison mbe\u2019s soundtrack just sits there doing . see harrison , george mbe .\nkuhn also took issue with karl popper ' s view of theory - testing through falsification . according to kuhn , it is the incompleteness and imperfection of the existing data - theory fit that define the puzzles that characterize normal science . if , as popper suggested , failure to fit were grounds for theory rejection , all theories would be rejected at all times .\nmunz , p . , 1985 , our knowledge of the growth of knowledge : popper or wittgenstein ?

' - - ' it was a lecture about probability ' , is an instance of descriptive usage ) .\nrelatively few philosophers have embraced it however . tom settle , a major contributor to p . a . schilpp ' s massive festschrift , the philosophy of karl popper , stated firmly in 1970 :\nas a criterion of demarcation between science and nonscience , popper ' s ' falsifiability ' - plus - a - critical - policy does not work\n[ pkp2 719 ] . other contributors evidently agreed ; among them a . j . ayer , william c . kneale , imre lakatos , grover maxwell , and hilary putnam .\nagain , the problem is that i may indeed be happy , but for reasons other than having won the lottery ; for example , i may not have won the lottery , but still be happy because i did well at my studies .\nfurther , remembering popper ' s humian premise , one immediately wants to ask : if we are not allowed to argue from positive instances to true laws , why are we allowed to argue from counterinstances to negative laws ( we were told above that\nnatural laws . . . deny\n) . the reasoning process is the same . collecting disconfirmations and arguing negatively scarcely differs from collecting confirmations and arguing positively . both are inductive procedures and , as such , have been disallowed in advance by popper ' s rejection of induction .\n47 . since this paper rejects cr on logical grounds , it has not been thought necessary to discuss cr ' s buttress concepts : ' degrees of testability , ' ' corroboration , ' ' verisimilitude , ' etc . these are analyzed in o ' hear , karl popper , ch . 3 , and defended by david miller , critical rationalism , ch . 10 and passim . for accounts of popper ' s ethics and politics , see tangled web , op cit . , pp . 24 - 26 & 29 - 30 .\nunfortunately , neither the lines quoted , nor the rest of the passage in the book , clarify the meaning of the word ' fact .

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

by the other members of his family , theri , a scrap yard worker , turns an alcoholic after the death of his mother . however , his life undergoes a sea change after his sister - in - law delivers a

. 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 targeted at the mass audiences . the run - time is crisp too !\nis old wine in new bottle . it ' s a story that has been told a hundred times , this time with new set of actors . kannan must have written his script on the sets and changed it according to the packaging .\nit follows the formula and there are no twists and turns and even camera movement of hero and heroine introduction has been repeated in earlier films ! added to that the film also has a message about how\nnoise pollution\nhas become a health issue among those working in factories .\nthe only silver lining in the film is priya anand , who is the real hero of the film . the script revolves around her and she looks glamorous in song sequences . d imman ' s music is decent , but there are too many songs , and placement is jarring . among the songs\nmazhakaatha . . .\nis the pick of the lot . vimal just sleeps walks through the movie , soori ' s comedy is irritating while nasser hams it up as the villain and anupama kumar is miscast as the villie !\non the whole kannan has come out with a film which is targeted at b and c audiences . there is no logic , but the major plus is that the film has a running time of 2 hours and 5 minutes . phew !"]}

s birthday . located 103 miles west of london , during shakespeare & apos ; s time stratford - upon - avon was a market town bisected with a country road and the river avon .\nwilliam shakespeare , also known as the\nbard of avon ,\nis often called england ' s national poet and considered the greatest dramatist of all time . shakespeare ' s works are known throughout the world , but his personal life is shrouded in mystery .\nwhat seems to be true is that william shakespeare was a respected man of the dramatic arts who wrote plays and acted in some in the late 16th and early 17th centuries . but his reputation as a dramatic genius wasn & apos ; t recognized until the 19th century . beginning with the romantic period of the early 1800s and continuing through the victorian period , acclaim and reverence for william shakespeare and his work reached its height . in the 20th century , new movements in scholarship and performance have rediscovered and adopted his works .\nat william jewell college , we encourage two - way conversations that challenge assumptions , engage with original ideas and promote a deeper dialogue , inviting everyone to have a voice . with one faculty member for every 10 students , in - depth discussions happen every day .\nwilliam t . sherman\u2019s field order no . 15 of january 1865 , which set aside a large swath of land along the coast of south carolina and georgia for the exclusive settlement of black families , and by the freedmen\u2019s bureau act of march , which authorized the bureau\u2026\nmeeting beyonc\u00e9 and jay z in new york ( 2014 ) : kate and william met their american royalty counterparts at the barclays center ( we hear the front - row chair kate was sitting on is now plated in gold , no one else allowed to ever sit in it ) .\nwilliam t . sherman was massing forces in chattanooga , tennessee , in anticipation of his drive on atlanta . forrest and his superiors hoped that his raid would disrupt sherman\u2019s preparations . by this stage in the conflict , forrest had already earned a reputation as a fierce , temperamental , and\u2026\nknown throughout the world , the works of william shakespeare have been performed in countless hamlets , villages , cities and metropolises for more than 400 years . and yet , the personal history of william shakespeare is somewhat a mystery . there are two primary sources that provide historians with a basic outline of his life . one source is his work \u2014 the plays , poems and sonnets \u2014 and the other is official documentation such as church and court records . however , these only provide brief sketches of specific events in his life and provide little on the person who experienced those events .\n\u2026party nearly killed commanding general william t . sherman and his small escort outside fort richardson . the army then received permission in july 1874 to initiate another offensive . in the resulting red river indian war , five army columns marched on indians declared hostile by the federal government . the most notable encounter\u2026\nwilliam tecumseh sherman invaded georgia from the north . sherman and his troops laid siege to atlanta in late summer and burned much of the city before finally capturing it . sherman then launched his march to the sea , a 50 - mile - ( 80 - km - ) wide swath of total destruction\u2026\nsauer , j . r . , pardieck , k . l . , ziolkowski , d . j . , jr . , smith , a . c . , hudson , a . - m . r . , rodriguez , v . , berlanga , h . , niven , d . k . , and link , w . a . , 2017 , the first 50 years of the north american breeding bird survey : condor , v . 119 , no . 3 , p . 576 - 593 .\nabout 150 years after his death , questions arose about the authorship of william shakespeare & apos ; s plays . scholars and literary critics began to float names like christopher marlowe , edward de vere and francis bacon \u2014 men of more known backgrounds , literary accreditation , or inspiration \u2014 as the true authors of the plays . much of this stemmed from the sketchy details of shakespeare & apos ; s life and the dearth of contemporary primary sources . official records from the holy trinity church and the stratford government record the existence of a william shakespeare , but none of these attest to him being an actor or playwright .\nin william shakespeare & apos ; s final period , he wrote several tragicomedies . among these are cymbeline , the winter & apos ; s tale and the tempest . though graver in tone than the comedies , they are not the dark tragedies of king lear or macbeth because they end with reconciliation and forgiveness .\nwilliam mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 in niles , ohio . following his service in the union army during the civil war under rutherford hayes , he was drawn to service in the republican party . yellow journalism at the time urged mckinley to start a war with spain , leading to an american global empire .\nwilliam tecumseh sherman led the western union army southward through georgia . ( see primary source document : letters to w . t . sherman outlining strategy for spring 1864 . ) it worked . by mid - june , lee was pinned down at petersburg , near richmond , while sherman\u2019s army cut and rampaged through georgia and\u2026\nwilliam mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 , in niles , ohio . as a young man , he briefly attended allegheny college before taking a post as a country schoolteacher . when the civil war broke out in 1861 , mckinley enlisted in the union army ; he eventually earned the rank of brevet major of volunteers .\nmckinley won the republican presidential nomination in 1896 thanks to his congressional and gubernatorial experience , his longtime support of protectionism and the skilled maneuvering of his chief supporter , the wealthy ohio industrialist marcus alonzo hanna . in the general election , mckinley faced william jennings bryan , who ran on a platform attacking the gold standard and supporting the coinage of silver as well as gold .\nas his father was now a bailiff , young william probably attended the local grammar school . its curriculum emphasised greek classics and pupils also learned plays in latin . religious education was also important , and shakespeare drew on these sources in his later work with classical and religious allusions . shakespeare probably attended school until about age 15 . there is no record of him going to university .\nby the early 1590s , documents show william shakespeare was a managing partner in the lord chamberlain & apos ; s men , an acting company in london with which he was connected for most of his career . considered the most important troupe of its time , the company changed its name to the king & apos ; s men following the crowning of king james i , in 1603 .\nas editor , william randolph hearst adopted a sensational brand of reporting later known as\nyellow journalism ,\nwith sprawling banner headlines and hyperbolic stories , many based on speculation and half - truths . about one quarter of the page space was devoted to crime stories , but the paper also conducted investigative reports on government corruption and negligence by public institutions . in a few years , circulation increased and the paper prospered .\nby 1599 , william shakespeare and his business partners built their own theater on the south bank of the thames river , which they called the globe . in 1605 , shakespeare purchased leases of real estate near stratford for 440 pounds , which doubled in value and earned him 60 pounds a year . this made him an entrepreneur as well as an artist , and scholars believe these investments gave him the time to write his plays uninterrupted .\nby the 1920s , one in every four americans read a hearst newspaper . william randolph hearst\u2019s media empire had grown to include 20 daily and 11 sunday papers in 13 cities . he controlled the king features syndicate and the international news service , as well as six magazines , including cosmopolitan , good housekeeping and harper & apos ; s bazaar . he also ventured into motion pictures with a newsreel and a film company . he and his empire were at their zenith .\nin 1941 , young film director orson welles produced citizen kane , a thinly veiled biography of the rise and fall of william randolph hearst . nominated for nine academy awards , the film was praised for its innovative cinematography , music and narrative structure , and has subsequently been voted one of the world\u2019s greatest films . hearst was not pleased . he mustered his resources to prevent release of the film and even offered to pay for the destruction of all the prints . welles refused , and the film survived and thrived .\nit was in william shakespeare & apos ; s later period , after 1600 , that he wrote the tragedies hamlet , othello , king lear and macbeth . in these , shakespeare & apos ; s characters present vivid impressions of human temperament that are timeless and universal . possibly the best known of these plays is hamlet , which explores betrayal , retribution , incest and moral failure . these moral failures often drive the twists and turns of shakespeare & apos ; s plots , destroying the hero and those he loves .\non april 27 , 1903 , william randolph hearst married 21 - year - old millicent willson , a showgirl , in new york city . it is believed the marriage was as much a political arrangement as it was an attraction to glamour for hearst . millicent\u2019s mother reputedly ran a tammany hall\u2013connected brothel in the city , and hearst undoubtedly saw the advantage of being well - connected to the democratic center of power in new york . millicent bore hearst five sons , all of whom followed their father into the media business .\nborn in san francisco , california , on april 29 , 1863 , william randolph hearst used his wealth and privilege to build a massive media empire . a founder of\nyellow journalism ,\nhe was praised for his success and vilified by his enemies . at one point , he considered running for the u . s . presidency . the great depression took a toll on hearst & apos ; s company and his influence gradually waned , though his company survived . hearst died in beverly hills , california , in 1951 .\nfans of the crown know that william\u2019s grandfather , prince philip , faced a similar decision after his wife became queen elizabeth ii . after they were first married , philip served in the royal navy . as king george vi & apos ; s health became progressively worse , however , philip was forced to take an open - ended leave from the navy . his career officially ended when the king died , and elizabeth ascended the throne . philip became the queen\u2019s consort , and he looked for other ways to fill his time .\nhe took over management of the royal estates , helped plan elizabeth\u2019s coronation , and embarked on what would become the patronage of more than 800 charities in the following decades . he also took up flying , reportedly hoping to receive his pilot\u2019s license faster than anyone else in history . philip\u2019s aviation - related aspirations rankled the government . he was forced to curtail riskier in - air behaviors , which frustrated philip . although he continued to pilot planes , his situation mirrors william\u2019s in that they both had to remain grounded when it came to putting their royal duties first .\nin addition to nature , ehrlich draws his design inspiration from objects of the art nouveau and arts and crafts periods , both of which he collects . william morris is a particular favorite . \u201cdesigning makes you feel connected to other creators , which is really nice , \u201d he says . \u201cif you\u2019re just collecting or if you\u2019re just academically looking at things , you have a more analytical and maybe judgmental attitude toward it , but you don\u2019t feel connected to the creative spirit in the same way . this takes you into a much more intimate relationship with that earlier process . \u201d\nwith the exception of the tragic love story romeo and juliet , william shakespeare & apos ; s first plays were mostly histories . henry vi ( parts i , ii and iii ) , richard ii and henry v dramatize the destructive results of weak or corrupt rulers , and have been interpreted by drama historians as shakespeare & apos ; s way of justifying the origins of the tudor dynasty . julius caesar portrays upheaval in roman politics that may have resonated with viewers at a time when england\u2019s aging monarch , queen elizabeth i , had no legitimate heir , thus creating the potential for future power struggles .\nafter his flameout in politics , william randolph hearst returned full - time to his publishing business . in 1917 , hearst\u2019s roving eye fell upon ziegfeld follies showgirl marion davies , and by 1919 he was openly living with her in california . that same year , hearst\u2019s mother , phoebe , died , leaving him the family\u2019s fortune , which included a 168 , 000 - acre ranch in san simeon , california . over the next several decades , hearst spent millions of dollars expanding the property , building a baroque - style castle , filling it with european artwork , and surrounding it with exotic animals and plants .\nwilliam shakespeare & apos ; s early plays were written in the conventional style of the day , with elaborate metaphors and rhetorical phrases that didn & apos ; t always align naturally with the story & apos ; s plot or characters . however , shakespeare was very innovative , adapting the traditional style to his own purposes and creating a freer flow of words . with only small degrees of variation , shakespeare primarily used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter , or blank verse , to compose his plays . at the same time , there are passages in all the plays that deviate from this and use forms of poetry or simple prose .\nin 1900 , william randolph hearst followed his father & apos ; s example and entered politics . having established newspapers in several more cities , including chicago , boston and los angeles , he began his quest for the u . s . presidency , spending $ 2 million in the process . the journey didn & apos ; t last long . hearst did win election to the house of representatives in 1902 and 1904 . however , maintaining his media empire while also running for mayor of new york city and governor of new york left him little time to actually serve in congress . angered colleagues and voters retaliated and he lost both new york races , ending his political career .\nwith the success of the examiner , william randolph hearst set his sights on larger markets and his former idol , now rival , joseph pulitzer . he purchased the new york morning journal ( formerly owned by pulitzer ) in 1895 , and a year later began publishing the evening journal . he strove to win the circulation wars by employing the same brand of journalism he had at the examiner . competition was fierce , with hearst cutting the newspaper\u2019s price to one cent . pulitzer countered by matching that price . hearst retaliated by raiding the world \u2019s staff , offering higher salaries and better positions . by 1897 , hearst\u2019s two new york papers had bested pulitzer , with a combined circulation of 1 . 5 million .\nare you ready for skyscraper ? we are ! see which other movies and tv shows we ' re excited about .\n- murder with too many notes ( 2000 ) . . .

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 -

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

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

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

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

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 ."]}

fetched storyline . . . . and i enjoyed it very much . my only complaint was the middle portion of the film where the was little action to be had and spent a lot more time fleshing out the plot . i still recommend it for a fun action movie though .\nit is this portion of the film , the central portion , that is by far the most successful . the beginning has been devoted to establishing the characters of lucy and faber and bringing them together . and the last third will be devoted to a gory battle between them . but when lucy is still innocent of faber ' s secret , and he himself has begun to waver , the story balances beautifully between romance and intrigue . in fact , the central part of the movie is so powerful it becomes something from which the film never recovers . the final confrontations are less heart stopping than those that occur midway through , particularly a cleverly staged showdown between faber and david . mr . marquand invests this scene with more surprises than the rest of the film has to offer .\ni ' m looking for the name of a chuck norris film , wherein if i remember correctly someone tells chuck the meaning of the word expedience and the word is used incessantly throughout the movie . this may be it , that red sweater looks awfully familiar , but it ' s been years since i saw it . . . . . . anyone who knows what i ' m talking about please post comment thx\ncaptain stevens -

s is training the next generation of iraq\u2019s young leaders , beyond winning basketball games and passing exams the stakes aren\u2019t adequately clear for these charismatic young women . equating the rigors of training and competition with the challenges of rebuilding iraq stretches the metaphor rather too far to sustain an entire film .\nflying high after the team ' s first victory , the women of the auis basketball team face a huge challenge when they ' re matched against a club team and must play without the support of one of their strongest players . see what other challenges these players face off the basketball court with a glimpse into the world they came from in part two of salaam dunk .\nit\u2019s the last game of the season for the women\u2019s basketball team at auis , and this one requires them to travel north for an away game in dohuk . they want more than anything to finish the season on a high note , not just because it\u2019s the last game , but because it is the last game for their beloved coach ryan . see what happens in the final episode of salaam dunk .\nseedwell has worked with brands like google , pepsi , microsoft , htc and nike to create viral branded content that has reached hundreds of millions of online viewers . their work has been covered repeatedly in mashable , the wall street journal , npr , advertising age and more . in 2012 , seedwell produced a feature documentary , salaam dunk , that won awards at festivals internationally . seedwell later received funding from youtube\u2019s original programming initiative to create an original youtube network called \u201camerican hipster\u201d , documenting pop culture through the lens of hipsterism .\nin the month and a half leading up to the festival we contacted the representative for our film and was told that they themselves had no interest in marketing their film at the festival and would not be attending . our contact said she would send us a pdf file of the poster , but then never got back to us . luckily , we had decided to go ahead and make our own materials to distribute . this included a salaam dunk poster stating the showing times at the festival , mini -

- and usually does - - but what sets him apart from many football coaches is that he won ' t put game ahead of academics , integrity\nsyncup recently had the chance to interview ryan bubalo to learn more about his role as studysync\u2019s education accounts manager . last week , ryan described his new position at studysync .\nnow , here is ryan on his personal experience with teaching and technology in the classroom .\ni am very fortunate to come to studysync fresh off of two amazing teaching experiences . the first was in oxford , mississippi , where , while completing my mfa in fiction writing , i was awarded a three - year teaching fellowship .\nin addition to learning how to write , my experience at ole miss really taught me how to teach . my first teaching job was as a teaching assistant for tenured faculty members in literature classes . i also enrolled in courses that examined the history of composition pedagogy . prior to ole miss , i had done some substitute teaching at the high school level , and i think that experience , as well as growing up around teachers , had given me some background in teaching . but in graduate school i learned the nuts and bolts of the profession \u2013 everything from how to rearrange the desks to reinforce a particular type of learning objective , to how and when to divide a course plan into different learning modes .\nthose lessons left me well prepared to take over my own classrooms when the time came . i taught both composition and creative writing courses at ole miss , and in 2008 , after my first year as an instructor - of - record , the university\u2019s center for excellence in teaching and learning awarded me their graduate instructor of the year award .\nwell , i followed up on my time in mississippi by doing what everyone would do : i took a job in iraq .\nin the spring of 2008 , i was researching a novel that i wanted to take place in baghdad . i found an opportunity to work in iraq , and i just couldn\u2019t pass it up .\ni taught at the american university of iraq - sulaimani ( auis ) . the first thing for westerners to know in order to understand my job in iraq is that sulaimani is not baghdad . it\u2019s a very safe city of around a million people located north of baghdad , and north of the line that separates greater iraq from iraqi kurdistan . that line demarcates the kurdish regional government\u2019s ( krg ) area of control , and the krg area is generally much safer , for both westerners and iraqis , than greater iraq .\ni walked to and from work . i ate out in restaurants . i rode the bus to the market . more than anything , i taught and taught and taught and taught . when i arrived , auis was a startup in its second year of operation \u2013 the facilities weren\u2019t great , curriculum was still being ironed out , students were still getting used to an american system of education . but wow , were they willing to work .\nthe first course i taught was an esl immersion course \u2013 19 students and me , 5 hours a day for 16 weeks . to say that i wish i had had studysync then would be the understatement of the year . the textbooks we used were all of about 100 pages , so if we covered more than a few pages a day , we would have run out of material in a quarter of the semester . every day was a combination of lessons and activities generated from scratch , group projects , and a lot of happy accidents and improvisation . it was simultaneously the best and worst class i\u2019ll ever teach . i think teachers always have one class they\u2019ll never forget , that they think of on the first day of any new semester , that they tell the most stories about . that one was mine .\ni think it was my introduction to iraqi students , who , i\u2019ve come to believe , are the hardest working in the world . granted , i\u2019m biased . my students were so eager to learn , i actually had to be careful about how much homework i gave them because they\u2019d stay up all night working to complete it and come to class unable to keep their eyes open . they asked for extra reading and writing assignments . they offered to walk to the bazaar with me on saturdays as long as we spoke english on the way .\nhonestly , i just can\u2019t say enough good things about their work ethic , their intelligence , and their character . i know a lot of people perceive iraq as a violent , restrictive society , and i\u2019m sure there are definitely parts of the country that reinforce that stereotype . but the young people i worked with , the ones who will hopefully become the next generation of iraqi leaders , defy those classifications . driven , intelligent , moral - the iraqi students forced me to become a better teacher just to keep up with them .\nmost of the young women had not played basketball before joining the team , so the game action doesn\u2019t exactly look like the wnba . but these young women absolutely loved the game , and loved it in a way that you often don\u2019t see in people who have played their entire lives .\nthe film premiered at the los angeles international film festival over the summer . it won the gold plaque award at the chicago film festival in october and also played at the international documentary film festival in amsterdam .\nfar and away my favorite showing , however , was at the doha tribeca film festival in qatar . in an incredibly gracious move , doha tribeca flew the entire basketball team ( 17 young women ) from iraq to doha for the premiere . i flew out from the states and met them and their new coaches there . it was a surreal experience . for a week , we stepped out of our normal lives to walk the red carpet behind celebrities and play games in a giant arena .\nif you\u2019d told me when i first started teaching that in five years i\u2019d be working and advocating for a web - based literacy program , i would have thought you were insane . i began as , and in some ways very much still am , an old - school chalkboard and lecture english teacher . i thought technology in the classroom was , at best , a diversion to reward students for having completed their \u201creal\u201d work , or , at worst , the dumbing down of education to the level of entertainment ( or \u201cedutainment\u201d as it is sometimes derisively called ) .\nas with pretty much all the growth i\u2019ve made as a teacher , my students were ultimately the ones who motivated my change . the students in my composition course had read malcolm gladwell\u2019s the tipping point and the group that was presenting on gladwell\u2019s chapter about \u201cstickiness\u201d employed so many different methods to teach their lesson \u2013 power point , video , blog responses prior to class , on the spot questionnaires , and even some good old fashioned chalkboard writing . the presentation was unforgettable , the perfect blend of form and content .\nfrom there i started dipping my toe in the technology waters . a youtube clip here , a powerpoint portion of a lecture there . it was still a full year , though , before i started using my school\u2019s lms to post texts and have students read and respond in a blog thread . when i did , the quality of my class discussions increased fivefold overnight . students were coming into the classroom having already read and responded to the text , and having already read their peers\u2019 responses . they had such a better idea of what they wanted to say and , because they were more confident , they spoke up more in class . suddenly , those wallflowers in the back of the class were mixing it up in a discussion about jamaica kincaid .\nultimately , i think using technology in the classroom is about engagement . as a teacher , i want to engage my students in every way that i can . the more ideas from my classroom that find their way into my students\u2019 lives , the better the odds that they consider those ideas in a thoughtful way . i may be a passionate advocate for sitting down in a quiet room with an actual words - on - paper book , and it\u2019s fine for me to encourage that , but if i want to engage my students , i need to be willing to meet them on their turf . they live multi - modal lives . we all do . we need multi - modal classrooms if we\u2019re going to engage students with literacy , writing , and critical thinking lessons that remain as important today as they ever were . in fact , with the proliferation of media and information , you could argue that these traditional skills are even more important today . it would be a shame for us to fail to teach literacy and critical thinking simply because we\u2019re unwilling to alter our own modes of delivery .\nstudysync incorporates much of what i said above . it definitely drives student engagement . it is also a great model for the kinds of literacy skills students need in this day and age . i mean , how often in your real life does anyone ask you to take two weeks , read a book , and then write a 1 , 000 - word response to it ? almost never , right ? it\u2019s literature in a vacuum . but that\u2019s the model still in place for teaching literature and literacy in many schools .\nstudysync\u00ae is a comprehensive blended ela / eld program . this complete curriculum is designed for today\u2019s diverse classroom environments , with powerful digital instruction and the option for full print support . studysync links literacy and learning with the way today\u2019s students experience the world . teachers benefit from an easy -

oriented doc .\nwinning doesn\u2019t come easily for the women\u2019s basketball team at the american university of iraq ( aui - s ) , located in the northeastern city of sulaimani . the private english - language university opened in 2007 to iraqi students of all ethnic and religious backgrounds and many attendees have relocated from baghdad and other cities for the opportunity to study in sulaimani . due to the security situation in iraq , the last names of team participants have been withheld in the film .\nafter an inaugural season racking up an unbroken string of losses , the players return in 2010 determined to put as many points on the board as possible . in his second year training the team , coach ryan bubalo is hopeful that the women may see some wins , but isn\u2019t leaving the outcome to chance , preparing them with frequent sprints , drills and intense scrimmaging . even so , it comes as a bit of a shock , followed by a burst of exhilaration , when the team wins its very first game by a single point . the thrill is short - lived however , as a series of tough matches that follows tests their skills and commitment .\nmany aui - s players never played basketball \u2014 or indeed any sport \u2014 before joining the team , since women\u2019s athletics are still largely frowned upon in iraq . the teams they compete against are mostly better - trained and more experienced , factors that sometimes result in major point spreads during games . the women also need to focus on their studies and maintain their gpas , additional sources of stress that compound the challenge of building the aui - s basketball program .\nrelentlessly positive but tough when necessary , bubalo\u2019s own basketball background and upbeat attitude inspire both determination and loyalty among the team members .\nthe women also have personal and family issues to grapple with , including relocation from conflict zones , personal experience with the violence of war , and the deaths of friends and family members in the ongoing conflict . a temporary english instructor at aui -

he enjoys applying his imagination and tchnical background to dream up new ways of telling stories . he has a bs in engineering form stanford university and a focus in international relations from oxford .\nwe decided the best way to go about marketing our film for the festival was to start with deciding who our core audience was and then reaching out and targeting specific groups and areas throughout the community where they would be exposed to the information about our film and possibly be convinced to attend one of the screenings .\nonce we had developed our distribution materials we mapped out where the optimally relevant locations were to post our fliers and distribute our basketballs , since we had a limited budget and limited supplies , we wanted to utilize the best possible locations to post our materials rather than wasting them by distributing them in as many places as possible and never actually reaching our core audience . we decided that the areas around rec centers , public basketball courts and multicultural centers would be in our first wave of distribution and in the second wave leading up to the film festival we would post in locations that allowed us to , close by to the enzian area , espescially near the rollins campus .\nkristin created the poster design that we used and josie put together the mini - basketball fliers for us to distribute . all of the distribution was done together .\ni received a positive response from a few of those that i was able to hear back from such as my contact at the muslim student association and muslim women for a cause who both said that the film sounded interesting and that they would pass on the information to people and see if they could get anyone to attend .\nwe were able to go on a radio show called time for talk on ucf ' s wnsc online streaming radio station and talk about the film and attempt to garner attention and awareness of it ' s showings at the festival , in hopes of pulling in a few possible audience members .\n- our most rewarding interaction was probably with the local groups that we reached out to , unfortunately because or our show times being sunday at noon and thursday at 4 people were unable to make the screenings , due to work hours , scheduling conflicts etc . in fact , i actually had one of my group contacts say that if the screening had been in more of an evening slot they would have definitely made it to the film .\n- we had originally planned on setting up a basketball hoop at enzian to gain interest in our film , we were however , unable to get a hold of a basketball hoop , and with our limited budget could not purchase one .\n- attend and get in contact with intramural basketball teams to distribute film info .\n- pass out fliers and basketballs in regal parking lot area and try and raise inerest in sunday screening .\n- enzian pre -

will the nun ever be rescued ? escape seems impossible . . . but wait . . . !\nnot only did hawk set the standard for heroic fantasy , it was also the genesis of an artistic tradition . musicians have their\ntwelve bar blues\n, and writers have their own equivalent in the\ngeneric quest story structure\npopularised by hawk . leading hawkologist nick lowe summarises the key properties of a derivative work .\ngood hawk ( john terry ) and his bad brother , voltan ( jack palance ) , vie for the power of a magic flying sword .\nburn the witch ! : hawk meets the witch by rescuing her from a couple of locals who want to burn her for . . . being a witch , apparently .\nlong before the lord of the rings there was\nhawk the slayer ,\na fairly low budget , dungeons & dragons inspired movie , that has soared high through the test of time . it qualifies as one of those movies ; it was good , and even when it was bad , it was bad in a good way . here it is 33 years later , the movie is still around , and many of the stars are showing up where you would least expect them .\nhawk pioneered the quest - based story structure that would later be copied by lesser authors such as shakespeare , tolkien , homer , robert e . howard and jim theils . like all the quest - based stories that ripped it off , hawk ' s plot can be divided into four sections :\nkingsley and rebellion ( co - founded by jason and his brother in 1992 ) are helping to produce hawk the hunter , much like they did with 2012 ' s dredd . rebellion will also do some cgi work for the film , and kingsley is mulling over plans for a game and novels in the hawk universe .\nas a result of his psychotic hatred , voltan tries to kill hawk and has his face partly burned off by elaine . this is why he wears a mask . all who see below the mask scream in horror ! voltan gets immediate revenge on elaine by shooting her with a crossbow and she dies in hawk ' s arms . at this point , relations betwen hawk and voltan sour slightly .\nso marcel was persuaded to map out a whole new mythic architecture for hawk . the sequel , if it is made , will see the slain vultan reanimated without a soul and looking for an evil sword to counter hawk\u2019s weapon . there will be a couple of female additions to hawk\u2019s crew instead of just nuns and witches , and a new cast of unknowns to play hawk , vultan et al . ray charleson , who played crow the elf in the original , has agreed to take a small part opposite his replacement , in what grocock refers to as \u201ca poor man\u2019s version\u201d of the spock - meets - spock moment in the star trek franchise .\nthe final scene takes place at the convent , as voltan attempts to take revenge on hawk . this is the first place in the film where the sword of mind ' s special powers are actually any use , because hawk is able to call on the sword and ( at long last ) kill voltan . and thus evil is defeated and the saga ends . . . or does it ? ( see\nsequels\nbelow )\nthat brother is hawk ( john terry ) , who arrives too late to save his father but in time to hear the prophecy that he had been guarding and which had seen him slain by his own son . as he dies , hawk ' s father gives him a magical sword ( which voltan had desired ) and the two are set on a path that will see them face one another in battle . when voltan breaks into a convent and kidnaps the mother superior , a one - handed man with an automatic crossbow seeks out hawk . hawk comes to the rescue of the sisters of the holy word , promising not only that he will raise the two thousand pieces of gold but will defeat voltan . carrying his sword before him , hawk sets out to gather a band of warriors . . .\nthe back story is told through the innovative medium of flashbacks . at various points in the story , hawk will say something like\ni have good reason to suspect that voltan can ' t be trusted\n. the camera will pan upwards slightly . then there is a fade to idyllic countryside , where hawk is chilling out with his newlywed wife elaine .\nmeanwhile , hawk is riding around in the forest , searching for voltan . he rescues a witch from being burned at the stake , and the audience sees that he is good . unusually , the witch admits her witchiness , and luckily turns out not to be evil . she will periodically reappear in order to resolve plot holes . next , hawk rescues ranulf , the messenger from the church sent to find him . ranulf is about to get a bandit ass - raping despite his 1337 crossbow skills , but hawk steps in to save him .\nok so it may be feature the worst special effects ever but that does not stop this movie being an all time fantasy classic . long live hawk !\nbadass boast : drogo will slay hawk himself and claim the gold , and\nthen voltan will see who is the lord of the dance !\nwell , he seems to think it ' s badass anyway .\nooc is serious business : in one or two cases hawk changes his standard dull surprise expression and threatens to kill voltan . this is the cue that voltan has really crossed the line .\nthe fellowship play a lethal prank on a hunchback . from left to right : gort , ranulf , hawk , crow , baldin . note the clever use of forced perspective that makes gort look taller than the others .\nkingsley got involved with the sequel through a series of happy coincidences . a while back , he was in the middle of a move and already thinking about old franchises that might be ripe for renewal within abaddon books , one of rebellion ' s book imprints . as kingsley was rifling through a box of\nthose things you keep but only ever look at when you ' re moving ,\nhe ran across his copy of hawk the slayer on vhs .\ngood witch versus bad witch : the unnamed witch supports hawk and his band , while voltan ' s evil master serves as the movie ' s bigger bad . they never fight directly , though .\nour dwarves are all the same : averted . hawk ' s dwarf companion doesn ' t have a long beard , and he uses a whip instead of an axe .\nin the second part of the adventure , the fellowship executes their plan to defeat evil . they do this by stealing some gold from a hunchbacked slave trader , noting that\nthe ends justify the means if we can save the mother superior !\n( this the first hint of the moral ambiguity of the\ngood\nguys : hawk is a very complex story where nothing is truly black or white . )\nthe details of hawk the hunter are sketchy at present , pending a full announcement by marcel at frightfest next month . we know that marcel will be delegating the directing duties this time , but it ' s unclear who ' s replacing him ; whether any cast is yet in place ( although ray charleson seems possible - see below ) ; or if this is the same film as hawk the destroyer , the unrealised sequel marcel was already talking about thirty years ago . all - or at least more - will no doubt be revealed in due course . update : marcel has now announced on hawk the hunter ' s facebook page that rick wakeman will be providing the soundtrack .\nthe sound effect used for the black wizard ' s healing crystal is the one used for the sound of scaramanga ' s laser in the man with the golden gun ( 1974 ) .\nterry : if you\u2019re a sword and sorcery fan , come take a look , because i think this\u2019ll be worth watching . it\u2019s going to be a good script , and if people enjoy a good story , and you haven\u2019t seen hawk the slayer , there\u2019s a reprise at the beginning that tells you why the brothers fought and what happened . so at least you can come into this without having watched the original and still enjoy it . it\u2019s for anybody , but if you\u2019re a sword and sorcery you\u2019ve got to come and see this .\nsummon to hand : hawk can make his mindstone blade fly into his hand by thought alone . well , not fly , exactly . slowly float .\nmaking a sequel for hawk would be like writing a sequel for the bible . no improvement is possible , and anyone attempting an improvement would probably be crucified for their heresy against the mighty hawk . the same goes for any remakes that anyone might think of doing . if you try , the true hawk fans will be waiting like the pharisees with a cross and some nails . so don ' t even try it . i ' m looking at you , nicholas cage , in your shitty wicker man remake . i ' m also looking at you , tim burton , with your pisspoor\nversion\nof planet of the apes . get lost , you mongs .\nthe lost woods : much of the scenes seem to be in the same patch of british forest .\nnot forgetting the sword and the sorcerer urltoken too and the warrior and the sorceress , which is the closest thing i ' ve ever seen to a dark sun movie .\nnever trust a trailer : the trailer mentions\ntwo armies\n,\nvoltan ' s army - the devil ' s army , and hawk ' s\n. in the actual movie , hawk ' s\narmy\nconsists of exactly six people , while voltan ' s\narmy\nis in no way satanical and has nothing to do with the legions of hell - it ' s a band of some 100 or so normal human bandits .\nhawk , having suffered the ignominy of watching both his father and fianc\u00e9e die at the hands of his brother , voltan , sets out on a quest for companions to aid him in his fight to stop his brother ' s reign of evil and free the abbess .\nterry : anyone who is alive , we\u2019re going to try and get back in different roles . patricia quinn \u2013 she doesn\u2019t know it yet , but there\u2019s a new character called fod . she\u2019s in the television series . a lot of the strategy for the new series is based around the kitchen . she sort of runs the household for hawk and the others , and of course , although she\u2019s a rough , fairy - type creature , she loves hawk ; she calls him the master , and she\u2019d do anything for him . and so , all the planning , plotting \u2013 it\u2019s all done in the kitchen , and fod oversees it .\n\u201cwe have a studio deal and a sales deal , \u201d says marcel , himself quite elfin at 73 . games company rebellion has also signed up to produce a hawk game and a putative range of books or comics , and to provide cgi and funding for the sequel . rebellion\u2019s co - founder jason kingsley described the original hawk as \u201ca touchstone\u201d of his life and said he was \u201cdelighted and slightly awed\u201d to be part of the new venture .\nin the first major part of the story , voltan kills his father . his brother hawk arrives - too late to save the old man , but just in time to be granted the sword of mind . it glows and flies across a room into the hands of its owner . ( george lucas would later copy this idea for star wars . )\nnew powers as the plot demands : hawk gets the mindsword and his father explains that it ' ll come to him if he wills it . but when he and ranulf travel through a haunted forest , he somehow knows the light it sheds will keep them protected from evil spirits ?\nit\u2019s a big cast , i saw the trailer , all i kept thinking was lord of the rings . i hope it works , because i want people to be aware of sword and sorcery . i hope it\u2019s a big success , but i don\u2019t think competition - wise i\u2019ve got much to worry about . there\u2019s a sword and sorcery space , and they\u2019re going to eat up part of that space , but there\u2019ll be plenty left for little old hawk the slayer . it\u2019s six episodes of advertising to us , and it\u2019s a great story ; terry brooks is a hell of a writer .\ncrow : hawk turns up just as crow begins a shooting contest with two homosexuals . the audience learns that crow is the last elf in the world , is really good at shooting , has spock ears , and talks like a robot . ( orlando bloom studied crow ' s scenes repeatedly in preparation for lord of the rings , as the character of legolas is transparently based on crow . tolkien used profits from\nthe hobbit\nto buy a cine projector for his oxford home specifically so that he could watch hawk every day until lord of the rings was completed . he saw it over 9000 times . )\nrewarded as a traitor deserves : well , voltan offs the noviate who betrayed hawk , but he ' s such a bad boss you really can ' t say he treated her any differently than his own henchmen .\nterry : i had him . i went to a fairly well -

horror - hued curtain - raising prank . that\u2019s about as much of an explanation as i\u2019m prepared to share as the film relies almost entirely on its clever curveballs once the film crew ends up impaling itself on the very killer hook it set out to create .\nwhen the film pitches the first of its many curveballs , i had a \u201cplease tell me i haven\u2019t fathomed it out already\u201d moment and , even though i ended up being right , it was great to see how that particular twist played out . that said , things aren\u2019t as telegraphed as the cairnes brothers will have you believe .\nas luck would have it , the siblings know exactly how to push the audience\u2019s buttons and are well aware of what we\u2019ve seen before , teasing our knowledge of the genre with adroitly executed axis shifts that keep the proceedings percolating at a really healthy clip . then , when the film careens towards its practical fx gorestravaganza finale and everything turns sixteen different flavors of slasher hell , the amusement never lets up as the audience is \u201csort of\u201d in on the joke by this time , but there\u2019s still that lingering question of who we can still trust , something we all know made scream the big hit it became in 1996 .\ncleverly rendered sound design , predominantly made up of diegetic noise , radically intensifies the whole haunted house vibe going on and then , to top it all off , even though it\u2019s apparent the cairnes weren\u2019t dead set on doling out gore galore , when the real carnage does rear its ugly head , it\u2019s stunningly violent and the practical effects are , quite literally , mind -

action movie .\nby the time mr . dempsey , drenched and sputtering like rain man after a few hours in a sweat lodge , discovers that the heists have been set up by a criminal mastermind named marcellus drum who wants everyone else dead and who numbers among the survivors in the bank ( \u201cdon\u2019t you see ? the money\u2019s like flypaper ! \u201d tripp exclaims , seemingly gleeful that he has uncovered the mystery of the title ) , it\u2019s hard to work up any enthusiasm over whodunit . it doesn\u2019t help that in lieu of real storytelling , mr . minkoff relies on a hodge - podge of flashbacks in which various characters theorize as to who the killer might be , and it doesn\u2019t matter anyway , since none of the characters has been developed enough to make a convincing puppet master . the climactic reveal is suitably disappointing , and the final scene in which ( spoiler alert ? ) tripp and kaitlin ride off into the sunset is a big , hackneyed yawn\u2014even with a weak twist ending thrown in for good measure .\na while ago , garry and i watched what is i am sure among the lowest grossing movies of all time . i don\u2019t say this lightly . in its theatrical run , it grossed exactly ( according to both wikipedia and imdb ) $ 1100 , which even in our world is not a huge amount of money . no , there aren\u2019t any zeroes missing . that\u2019s the real number .\ngarry didn\u2019t recognize it , so he recorded it on the bedroom dvr . a couple of nights ago , while i was reading in bed ( my favorite indulgence ) , i noticed the bed was shaking . he was laughing . really laughing . garry doesn\u2019t normally lay in bed laughing . he told me that he was going to save this one because he thought i\u2019d like it . as a rule , there are a lot of things i find funny that he doesn\u2019t think are amusing , but never has the reverse been true . if he thinks its funny , it\u2019s funny .\nthe cast features ashley judd and patrick dempsey . it\u2019s directed by rob minkoff . the writers were the same guys who created the characters from the hangover . rob minkoff is known for co -

fashioned , but it bothers me .\nwhen i read movie reviews , i frequently wonder if the reviewer watched the same movie i did . or watched any movie at all . they heap praise on movies that are boring and sometimes much worse than that . they pan movies that are creative , unique and interesting . they apparently take special pleasure in negative reviews , the more vicious the better . meanwhile , they glorify obscure movies in which no one could possibly be interested .\nback in 1999 , garry and i were visiting friends in michigan . our group consisted of a lawyer , an engineer , a tv journalist , and a writer . we decided to rent the latest movie on which critics were heaping praise . it was the must -

ass naked .\nabout half an hour into the movie , our little group of well - read individualists looked at each other and briefly conferred . was anyone enjoying it ? no ? then why were we watching it ? we promptly popped the movie out of the machine and moved on with our evening . pop corn goes well with conversation , too .\nit reminds me of the woody allen movie hollywood ending . in it , a formerly prestigious director is broke and desperate for a movie project . he gets an offer to direct a big movie in new york . because the offer comes from his former wife ( t\u00e9a leoni ) and her current boyfriend ( treat williams ) , he is reluctant to take the assignment , even though he needs the money and something to get his career on track .\nhe finally agrees to do it and is immediately struck blind by some kind of psychosomatic ailment probably induced by anxiety . the production hasn\u2019t even started yet , but he decides to fake it . it costs $ 60 million and flops . but , there is a \u201chollywood ending . \u201d the movie becomes a huge hit in france . he happily proclaims , \u201cthank god the french exist . \u201d he knows the movie is awful , the worst thing he\u2019s ever done . he had no idea what he was doing , but the french read all kinds of deep meaning into it . there will always be people to love things that don\u2019t make sense because they figure it must be full of secret meaning . i went to school with these people . didn\u2019t we all ?\nour favorite bit of dialogue is between two of the older bank robbers complaining that they miss the good old days when all you needed was a gun and a brown paper bag . this in the midst of what could only be called the most catastrophically unsuccessful bank heist ever attempted .\nthe ending is predictable \u2026 or maybe not . it depends how your mind works . if you bump into it on cable or somewhere , give it a look . it\u2019s pretty good . really . i\u2019m not kidding . i did watch it , including the credits .\navailable from amazon on dvd , blu -

worried that the american public could not last through a film that was an hour long , thereby delaying the advent of feature films ( 60 - 90 minutes in length ) in the us . according to most sources , the first continuous , full - length narrative feature film ( defined as a commercially - made film at least an hour in length ) was writer / director charles tait ' s five - reel biopic of a notorious outback folk hero and bushranger , the story of the kelly gang ( 1906 , australia ) , with a running time of between 60 - 70 minutes . only fragments of the film survive to this day .

liquidate her assets as quickly and heedlessly as possible . another movie as sloppy as ' ' burglar ' ' and the actress will have no credit left .\nbecause of her talent , plus the fact she has no serious competition , miss goldberg is the premier black actress in american films today , but you wouldn ' t know it from her appearances since ' ' the color purple .

maker georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s first film based on a trick of substitution ( one of the earliest instances of trick photography with stop - action - an early special effect ) was escamotage d ' une dame au th\u00e9\u00e2tre robert houdin ( 1896 ) ( aka the conjuring of a woman at the house of robert houdin ) . the roots of horror films ( and vampire films in particular ) may also be traced back to georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' two - 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 -

groomer , an asexual male who talks peculiarly . in this role , bob goldthwait , who was wonderfully funny in ' ' police academy 2 , ' ' is as lost as his co - star .\nin the same year of 1896 , another englishman robert william paul also developed and manufactured a popular projector which he called a theatrograph . he became a pioneering film producer in britain through his the northern photographic works company .\nthe innovative lumiere brothers in france , louis and auguste ( often called\nthe founding fathers of modern film\n) , who worked in a lyons factory that manufactured photographic equipment and supplies , were inspired by edison ' s work . they created their own combo movie camera and projector - a more portable , hand - held and lightweight device that could be cranked by hand and could project movie images to several spectators . it was dubbed the cinematographe and patented in february , 1895 . the multi - 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 -

american and other racially diverse artists , is known for encouraging various flesh - colored tights , leotards and shoes , and as fentroy\u2019s photo shows , the company provides unique paints that match each dancer\u2019s skin . fentroy \u2015 who grew up with the understanding that pointe shoes are pink and \u201cthat\u2019s how it was\u201d \u2015 says she\u2019s never been criticized for wearing pink shoes today , though .\nvictoria ' s secret compartment : donna pulls out two ballet tickets out of a fancy blouse when trying to grease the wheels with louis .\nthe ballet pump is back and it ' s been given a makeover so strong that ' s already become a big fashion trend this season .\nin a caption accompanying his video , underwood pleaded for dancewear companies to introduce more than one flesh tone into their ballet shoe inventories . when he posted the photo , he was not able to buy anything but that traditional \u201cballet slipper\u201d pink . \u201cnot being able to buy shoes is a reminder that you are an anomaly and that you aren\u2019t given the same consideration as other dancers , \u201d fellow dancer brooklyn mack explained to the bbc after underwood\u2019s post .\n\u201cevery school and company has a different practice for what their dancers do with their pointe shoes , \u201d she said . \u201ci think that many schools that are predominantly [ comprised of ] dancers of color are beginning to practice the idea of having flesh - colored shoes , but not all . at dance theatre of harlem , it is standard for the company members to always have flesh - colored shoes and tights , and it is a part of the dress code for students . \u201d\ndisc # 1 -

( for the record , misty copeland wears bloch axiom shoes and uses pancake makeup to match them to her skin , her publicist explained in a statement to huffpost . )\nclarification : language in this story has been amended to make clear that misty copeland was the first female african - american principal dancer at the american ballet theater . in case you were wondering , debra austin became the first ever african - american principal dancer for a major dance company \u2015 the pennsylvania ballet \u2015 in 1982 .\n\u201ci am greatly looking forward to the day when pointe shoes are created in multiple skin tones , \u201d fentroy concluded , \u201cand i do think that day will come soon . \u201d\nlouis gets a chance to meet his childhood idol , a famous ballet dancer who is now running his own company . louis tries to help him with a contract dispute but realizes that\n\u201ccurrently , to my knowledge , there are not any pointe shoe companies that create shoes in flesh tones , \u201d she added . \u201ci have seen pointe shoes made in red and black before , but those are the only pre - made colors that i have come across . sometimes certain companies will have different shades of pink , but none that i have seen are far off from the normal color . \u201d\nposy is brought to see valentin manoff ' s ballet by madame fidolia . posy wants to go to his ballet school in czechoslovakia . madame gets a stroke and is paralysed , and posy is devastated . charles in exile is a hit and pauline has been discovered . she is offered a contract for five years in hollywood , but she isn ' t sure that she should take it .\n' i started my career as a ballet dancer and had just started working as a choreographer . i thought it was a bit of a risky move but it certainly paid off , ' he once told\nposy , noticed by madame fidolia , the owner of the school , is very talented at ballet . madame fidolia now teaches her classical ballet only . however petrova hates dancing and would much rather work with cars and fly planes . she and mr simpson become very good friends . garnie starts to fall in love with mr simpson . she has bad lungs and her health starts worsening . petrova is worried for her .\nfresh from four bafta television nominations , seven bafta craft nominations and six broadcasting press guild nominations , as well as the tric award 2007 for best drama programme earlier this month and the rts award for best writer , the two - part special will be produced by co - creator sue birtwistle ( pride and prejudice ) , directed by simon curtis ( five days , freezing ) and written by heidi thomas ( ballet shoes , lilies ) .\nleotards and tights are available through speciality manufacturers , but fentroy and other dancers of color continue to paint their shoes \u2015 on top of sewing their ribbons and elastics into place , cutting their shanks to size , gluing their pointe tips and dousing their pairs in water until they reflect the unique arcs of their feet . ultimately , every ballerina is beholden to the rituals of keeping pointe shoes . but only dancers of color are required to go an extra step .\nstill , for some dancers of color , abandoning the historic pink outfit in favor of other \u201cunconventional\u201d flesh tones can be difficult . in a blog post for brown girls do ballet , ballerina selena robinson weighed her options between the brown tights that match her skin tone or the pink ones most other ballerinas don . wearing the pink , many dancers point out , is a part of maintaining uniformity among the corps de ballet dancers meant to perform in sync .\nthis piece has been updated to include a statement from misty copeland\u2019s publicist . we have reached out to bloch for a comment on whether or not they are still planning on producing a line of flesh - toned shoes but have yet to hear back .\nhe is a a trained ballet dancer and choreographer and admitted he was initially reluctant to take on the role that led to him being sent fan mail from adults as well as children and feeling like a member of the beatles .\nthe \u201cnormal color , \u201d of course , is a shade similar to the essie nail polish titled \u201c ballet slippers . \u201d like the beauty and fashion industries , dancewear companies tend to use the term \u201cnude\u201d to refer only to pale tones .\nprecision f - strike : since this is a cable program the language can be much stronger than tv . in one episode , it ' s done so quietly that you have to turn the volume up loud to hear it . in season 3 , episode 5 , rachel tells mike what she found out about donna ' s love life :\ndonna fucked steven .\nwith a round - toe and heel of no more than 1 . 5 inches , these are shoes to get things done in ( praise be ) . it started with the celine spring / summer 2015 show when designer phoebe philo showed low pumps in butter - soft leather .\nhigh street brands including topshop , cos , office and asos have all produced their own take on the low heeled pump , which means there is zero need to shell out on a pricey pair . these shoes are so wearable and so comfortable you may want to buy a couple of pairs .\nit is 1919 . sylvia is now grown up . gum brings her back an orphaned baby girl , who has been rescued from a shipwreck . he names her pauline fossil . sylvia and nana reluctantly take her in . two years later , in 1921 , gum brings back another orphan , a russian baby girl called petrova . in 1923 , gum sends a third baby , posy , with ballet shoes that her mother owned and necklaces for the three girls . he also left some money in the bank for sylvia , enough to last five years . that is the last the family hears of him .\nwhen megastars like misty copeland , \u201c a little brown - skinned girl in a sea of whiteness , \u201d are still regarded as \u201cunlikely\u201d ballerinas , the simple act of painting a shoe to make convention conform to you becomes something more potent . it becomes a reminder that ballet has a long way to go .\nset in thirties london , ballet shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans pauline , petrova and posy fossil , who are adopted by an eccentric explorer , gum , and raised as sisters by his selfless niece . the timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl ' s struggle to fulfil her dreams : pauline longs to be an actress , petrova yearns to be an aviator , and posy seems born to be a ballerina . but when gum disappears , the money runs out - and the girls have a fight on their hands . their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically , emotionally , and financially , proves moving and comic by turns .\nin a world where ballerinas are expected to know how to pull their hair back in pristine buns , sew their pointe shoes into perfection , and otherwise manipulate their bodies and accessories to adapt to predetermined ideals , painting tutus might read to outsiders as but another dance ritual . if everyone had to do it . but in a world simultaneously dominated by white bodies , a world that has only recently witnessed the rise of american ballet theater\u2019s first female african - american principal dancer ( misty copeland ) and harbors a history of subtle racism within its institutions , the act of painting a \u201cneutral\u201d tutu becomes a reminder to those inside and outside studio halls of the specific obstacles ballerinas of color face today .\ni loved the book\nballet shoes\nas a child and still read it from time to time as a\ncomfort book\n. this bbc adaptation is disappointing . it has cut out chunks of the book and altered other parts of it considerably and some characters have been eliminated . there ' s not enough dancing and frequently when there is , the feet are cut off . there are no scenes either of the children ' s actual theatre performances . why ? some characters are exactly as i would have imagined from the book - dr jakes , mr simpson and mme fidolia are excellent and little posy is delightful . however , sylvia is even sillier than in the book - a complete ninny , helpless and ineffectual , yet stubborn and narrow - minded with big watery blue eyes and an insipid smile . poor angela thorne having to portray such a profoundly irritating character !\nin a scene from the ballet documentary \u201c first position , \u201d the camera focuses for a moment on the mother of sierra - leone - born dancer michaela deprince . tutu in hand , elaine deprince performs a seemingly innocuous task \u2015 the painting of her black daughter\u2019s tutus and straps . she carefully applies brown dye to every inch of the formerly pale costumery , making sure to touch up the remaining white bits with a dark sharpie .\nposy runs away to manoff ' s ballet . she dances for him and he wants to teach her . pauline signs the contract so that posy can go to czechoslovakia with nana , and garnie will go to hollywood with her . unexpectedly , gum comes back , and agrees to teach petrova to fly planes . the movie ends with pauline and posy vowing to get petrova into the history books , while petrova flys over garnie and mr simpson ' s wedding .\nfentroy , who is currently nursing an injury , wrote in her photo\u2019s caption : \u201ctoday is paint day , \u201d including the hashtag # keepingbusyformysanity . when asked why she posted the image , she explained to the huffington post over email that she wanted to give fans a glimpse of her process as a professional dancer . a part of that process , she noted , involves applying a flesh - colored acrylic paint \u2015 created specifically for her by the dance theatre of harlem\u2019s wardrobe team \u2015 to her pointe shoes .\nthink of them as a more flattering , smarter ballet flat . they look best contrasted with more boyish pieces - i ' ve been wearing mine with a boxy knit and levi 501s or dungarees . avoid wearing anything too pretty or smart and bare feet are essential to avoid any granny connotations . people often talk about items being wearable , but having worn mine from dawn till dusk without needing to carry an extra pair of flats , i can vouch for this .\nset in 1930s london , this made - for - tv production , based on the novel by noel streatfield , tells the tale of pauline ( emma watson ) , petrova ( yasmin paige ) and posy fossil ( lucy boynton ) , who are adopted by an eccentric explorer , gum ( richard griffiths ) , and raised as sisters by his selfless niece ( emilia fox ) and her nurse ( victoria wood ) . each of the girls has a dream to fulfil ; pauline longs to be an actress , petrova yearns to be an aviator , and posy seems born to be a ballerina . but when gum disappears and the money runs out , the feisty and devoted fossils find they must fight to survive .\ndelightful film of the book which is a perennial favourite with young girls and was a favourite of mine in the 1960s . the acting is spot - on with a young emma watson acting a far cry from her harry potter role . emilia fox is perfect as the harrassed guardian of the three precocious and talented girls , victoria wood the perfect foil as nanny -

star centrepiece to bbc england ' s christmas schedule . listings names such as emilia fox and richard griffiths as well as british stage stalwarts , the programme instantly glared of lazy and pretentious direction . the start was tenuous , almost ridiculous , and descended into the depths with wooden acting - the cameo from victoria wood must go down as one of the worst performances in living memory . i read about six months ago that emma watson had turned down handfuls of roles for the chance to perform in this tripe , and did herself no favours with a supposed sympathetic role of burdened orphan that came across as nothing more than an arrogant , sycophantic spoilt brat . just when you thought the film was building up to a resurrecting finale , it just faded out - perhaps reflecting the team equally saw how horrific this was and just gave up . this wasn ' t bad , it was a disgrace .\n16 of 67 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\ncomment : from europe ' s no . 1 in used books & media articles .\ninstantly receive a \u00a310 urltoken gift card if you\u2019re approved for the amazon platinum mastercard with instant spend . representative 21 . 9 % apr ( variable ) .\ncredit offered by newday ltd , over 18s only , subject to status . terms apply .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\ni remember this film from when i was a little girl and have been wanting to watch it again for years . i would definitely recommend it to people to watch for that reason , but if you are coming to it for the first time you may not love it quite so much . all the acting is solid and the story is of course delightful ; i think little girls would still like it very much ! it ' s certainly much better than the recent bbc version , on account of everyone in it can act .\ngood service and so happy with my purchase . i love it . yes , i say five stars . shalom\ni have very fond memories of this adaptation of one of my favourite childrens books . i used to look forward to watching the series on a sunday evening . i know that some of scenes have been cut out and i too would have loved to have seen more dancing and theatre scenes but all in all i much prefer this version to the new version starring emma watson . i wanted to enjoy the new version but found that some of my favourite characters were missing and the added romance between mr simpson and garnie was just plain ridiculous . plus emma watson seemed to be either be playing herself or another version of hermonie granger . the 1975 version may have had a smaller budget but in my eyes it is far superior .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nregion : region 2 ( this dvd may not be viewable outside europe . read more about dvd formats . )\nsylvia brown is guardian to three young girls , pauline , petrova , and posy fossil . money is tight for sylvia , who opens her home to provide board to three others ; a retired english professor , a garage owner , and a dance teacher . the later , theo dane , has the girls accepted into her school by the formidable madame and the children help to raise some money through a stage show .\nall 6 episodes from the classic bbc series starring angela thorne , jane slaughter , elizabeth morgan , sarah prince , barbara lott , and terence skelton .\namazon ' s choice recommends highly rated , well -

case scenario led flu experts to express concern that the film was sensationalist and could needlessly panic viewers . but\nfatal contact\nis not harebrained science fiction . as many as 50 million people died in the 1918 spanish flu epidemic . there are plenty of experts who say that the strain of avian flu known as a ( h5n1 ) could mutate and spread efficiently among humans . in real life , scientists have said publicly what one movie epidemiologist says to another after the first human case is diagnosed :\nit ' s not a question of if , but when .\na highly contagious , rapidly killing hemorrhagic mutation of bird flu slaughters people in hongkong . preventing its spread is virtually hopeless , as soon is proved in a us country village , which is strictly quarantined by the military . the white house prefers to ' prevent panic ' , even overrules zealous governor mike newsome and reneges earlier emergency plans .\nan outbreak of avian flu mutates into a virus that becomes transmittable from human to human .\nfatal contact\nportrayed a number of difficulties and dilemmas that public health planners are envisioning now as they prepare for a pandemic . some examples include the necessity of rationing vaccine and ventilators , overwhelmed hospitals , the use of overflow hospitals , shortages of healthcare workers as staff members stay home to care for their families , shortages of ordinary drugs and medical supplies , such as insulin , and food shortages caused by disrupted transportation systems .\nan american businessman on his way back home to virginia from hong kong becomes infected with a mutated bird flu strain which is now transmittable from human to human . american authorities attempt to contain the virus before it ' s too late . starring joely richardson , scott cohen , justina machado\nok , we need a protagonist , someone who can stand toe - to - clawed foot with our avian death - overlords . our heroine is a genetic scientist and one of the world ' s leading experts in bird flu ( that ' s helpful ) . her name is not important , but she looks like ann coulter and favors cashmere blouses and trendy soho jewelry . she ' s played by joely richardson , one of those\nhollywood names\nwhose resume is not nearly as impressive as her familiar - sounding name . the doctor , as she will be known , is at the top of her game , fully knowledgeable in all things bird flu and well connected in political circles . she ' s also a frigid control - freak with intimacy issues , spurning lasting relationships for casual sex and distancing herself from any displays of empathy or care .\ncorpse management will be a real concern [ in a pandemic ] , but i can ' t imagine under any condition we would put bodies in the back of a truck and dump them in ,\nsaid osterholm .\ni have been researching the avian h5n1 flu for quite a while now , and was impressed with this film ' s accuracy .\nsecretary stacy keach now dies from the flu . gasp ! even rich and powerful white men can die ? oh no , this\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\nfirst off , i am fighting a cold today , so this movie done scared the poo out of me . by the time it was over , i was sure i had bird flu , and after spending the next three hours on webmd trying to find out if my persistent cough was the first sign of my lungs liquefying , i had just made myself sicker . i guess that ' s what makes for a powerful film , something that causes such a visceral reaction in the viewer , so in that respect this movie was awesome .\nsmilin ' bob then goes back to his idyllic suburban family in richmond , virginia and proceeds to infect everyone around him with this incurable killer virus . he eventually dies a horrible , blood - splattered death on the sales floor of a wal - mart , but not before he ' s spread his germs around town , to his family , his friends , his coworkers , even his mistress with the big hooters down in yorktown . smilin ' bob is patient zero , the typhoid mary of bird flu , and ground zero is the commonwealth of virginia .\nbut , sadly , that evil little chinese girl will have the last , cackling , blood - curdling laugh , stabbing us through the heart one last time with her jonas brothers pencil . the stinger is the doctor in sweltering equatorial angola , where the bird flu has mutated into a 100 % killer strain that snickers in the face of any vaccine , and now the fate of the human race is sealed . the closing credits roll with the ominous sight of a flock of infected birds flapping over the verdant jungles , surely heading off to kill off the rest of humanity .\nin the early days grocers scandalously increase prices : a pound of coffee sells for $ 19 . within a few weeks supermarket aisles are as barren as russian stores in soviet times .\nmore bad news as the governor ' s child dies from the flu , even though he was sequestered in the bunker . the governor now sees the error of his ways and lifts the ( pointless ) quarantines in his state . he then visits a dumping ground for corpses , a powerful scene staged late at night ( though stolen from\nthe doctor goes to rural china to check on reports of the initial outbreak there ( this is before smilin ' bob comes home ) . quickly , her fears of a killer global flu are realized as it ' s learned that the virus has jumped from animal to human and on to other humans ( which means that this new strain is unknown to medical science and therefore ultimately dangerous to us all ) . she suggests rigorously isolating the town where it started , to cut off all contact with the residents , and hope that maybe this will stop the virus from spreading ( in vain , it seems ) .\nin new york a nurse named alma ansen ( justina machado ) finds herself overwhelmed working at a makeshift flu center consisting of tents erected at the bottom of a subway station . her husband , curtis ( david ramsey ) , a national guardsman , is redeployed to new york from iraq to maintain order in the panic - stricken city . in richmond denise connelly ( ann cusack ) , the widow of patient zero , becomes a community organizer , helping stranded neighbors find scarce help and provisions .\nthe illness in the american businessman who has the first us case in the film clearly resembles the illness that struck many in 1918 . after fits of violent coughing , he suddenly collapses on the job , blood streaming from his nose . he later dies of acute respiratory distress . at his autopsy , a cdc doctor says ,\nhe coughed so violently he tore apart his abdominal muscles . he basically drowned in his own blood .\nmeanwhile , in fort lauderdale , fla . , the country ' s top epidemiologist , dr . iris varnack ( joely richardson ) , is in a black slip , smoking a post - coital cigarette and warning her lover not to expect much follow - up .\ni ' m better in small doses ,\nshe tells him .\nto steal a quote from my favorite band , it ' s the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine ( actually , according to this movie , if i had the bird flu , i ' d feel like shit , i ' d have\nbody aches so intense i would feel like my bones are breaking\nand would be\ncoughing so violently that i ' d tear apart my abdominal muscles and my rib cartilage , and basically drown in my own blood\n) . the nurse is part of a team of medical professionals treating flu victims who are massing in an ad - hoc hospital set up in a subway station ( a stunningly great visual image as the camera follows her down the escalator into the teaming morass of blood and mucus below ) . this is third world medical service , with no medicines , no machines , no sterilization , just helping hands and tearful eyes . the doctors and nurses can do little but try and comfort the dying and remove the dead .\nour show starts in rural china with a young girl hiding her infected chickens from local cops who are rounding up everyone ' s roosters and hens to contain a suspected bird flu outbreak . as it turns out , little peggysue ' s chickens have the dreaded h5n1 bird flu virus and it ' s mutated where it can jump from animals to humans for the first time . as such , the first prime carrier is this seemingly innocent little schoolgirl , and all of what we see next is clearly totally her fault . her conscious decision to shack up with poultry will be the cause of a wave of untold death and destruction like the world has never seen , and she may very well be doing it on purpose for some nefarious reason known only to that unique demographic that likes hannah montana and pepperoni pizza rolls . i believe that she is the fifth horse ( wo ) man of the apocalypse , though as a ten - year old girl i ' m sure she ' ll be riding a sparkly talking unicorn with chiffon wings and a rainbow saddle , and beneath her quaking , paisley pink hooves humanity will be ground into dust .\nin the drama , h5n1 avian flu begins to spread from person to person in china , signaling the start of a pandemic . an american businessman contracts the virus and brings it back to his home in virginia , where he spreads it to others before falling desperately ill . soon , cases are spreading across the united states . as panic spreads , the governor of virginia quarantines neighborhoods where cases have cropped up , and federal officials confess they have no vaccine and scant supplies of antiviral drugs . major socioeconomic disruption sets in , with shortages of food and medical supplies , power outages , and riots in the streets of new york . eventually ( after countless numbing commercials ) , the pandemic begins to subside . but in the final scene , the discovery that the entire population of an angolan village has died heralds a new mutation of the virus and a second wave of cases .\nthe bird flu is really beating up the world hard now , tens of millions are already dead , that number increasing at an insane rate daily . society is breaking down , economies are collapsing , and the very fabric of civilization is unraveling rapidly . the general mood is despair and terror , as everyone is sure this is the end of days . but , hey , relax , we ' ve been through this before , right ? the black death took away half of europe , but they survived , right , hell they even prospered . sure , the spanish flu killed 50 mil , but medical science back then was primitive , with today ' s technology that 1918 outbreak would have been easily contained .\nhe dies not long after he returns to his wife and children in richmond , va . , and becomes patient zero in a public health emergency so vast that no federal agency , state or community is even remotely prepared to handle it .\nthe doctor goes to see the governor of virginia in his command bunker to talk with him about the flu outbreak in his state and his response . she preaches to him about how his harshly - imposed isolation of infected neighborhoods in richmond is a terribly bad idea because it ' s a violation of peoples ' basic human rights to live free , make their own choices , and count on each other for help . hmmm . . . wasn ' t she all gung - ho for isolating that chinese town back in the beginning ? seems odd that she ' s now all\nprotect human rights\nwhen before she was all\nsurround the town with an electric fence\n.\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nby now , the bird flu is popping up in isolated outbreaks all over the usa ( thanks , smilin ' bob ! ) . it ' s shaping up to be the worst case scenario of all worst case scenarios , the epidemic sweeping away all the carefully laid - out contingency plans and earnestly crafted operational guidelines . there ' s no vaccine , no hope , no time to react , no pause to allow the huge , ungainly machine that is the medical and pharmaceutical communities to come to grips with the fact that people are dying by the thousands hourly and there ' s nothing in their arsenal to fix it . governors band together to call for their national guard troops to return from overseas deployments ( best bit ) . did i mention that this is all that girl ' s fault ?\nthe 200 - plus human cases of h5n1 that have occurred over the past 3 years have been severe as well , of course , but just how closely the movie portrayal resembles them is not clear from our perspective . in any case , in depicting a 1918 - like illness , the producers deliberately chose a worst - case scenario . while disease experts agree that a flu pandemic is inevitable sooner or later , they don ' t believe it will inevitably be as severe as in 1918 . even if the h5n1 virus is the pathogen , in acquiring the ability to spread from person to person , it could become less virulent . the other two 20th century pandemics , in 1957 - 58 and 1968 - 69 , were far milder than 1918 . the fact is that no one knows how severe the next pandemic will be .\nthis is an excellent , well acted well thought out film . the scenarios are very real . i cannot help but surmise that when a major flu pandemic hits , we will react much the way . . .\na good movie that shows how pandemic diseases spread expotentially . as the movie progressed it became rather unrealistic and inconsistent in certain areas .\namazon giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz , reward your audience , and attract new followers and customers .\ni felt this was very well done , it did not pull any punches . it show what could very well happen if , not if but when a flu like this happens . a lot can be learned from this film .\nu . s . officials scramble to maintain order and confront catastrophic results when a deadly strain of avian flu mutates into a global pandemic . joely richardson , stacy keach , justina machado , ann cusack . directed by richard pearce .\nthe end of the film , in which an entire angolan village appears to have been wiped out , is another example of sensationalism . osterholm , who previewed the film but was not involved in it , commented in a news conference this week that the scene\nlooks like the jonestown massacre , not something caused by infectious disease .\na 100 % fatality rate would be highly unlikely with any virus . in fairness , the producers told the new york times that the scene was meant to show a village that was emptied by a combination of evacuation and disease .\nthe governor of virginia , mike newsome ( scott cohen ) , decides he wants to be\nproactive\nand puts endangered neighborhoods in quarantine and barricades his staff and family in a guarded , bio - secure location that dr . varnack dismisses as a\nfortress of solitude .\nforget about hitchcock ' s birds , because in this made - for - television disaster film an outbreak of the dreaded avian flu mutates to cause a worldwide pandemic that will shake the very foundations of modern society . the worst case scenario has finally become a reality . born in hong kong and gradually adapting the traits which allow it to transfer from human to human , the avian flu causes mass panic as tens of millions of men , women , and children rapidly succumb to the its ravaging effects . as panic sweeps through the streets and entire cities are quarantined , humankind will discover that the dreaded black death of the 14th century was merely a minor precursor to the virus that would decimate the entire planet as it threatens the very existence of the human race .\n[ editor pam : i ' ve heard medical experts say that in both those cases , the majority of deaths could have been prevented by modern medicine . of course , if modern sanitation had been in effect at the time of the black death , it probably wouldn ' t have happened . ]\npremise : u . s . officials scramble to maintain order and confront catastrophic results when a deadly strain of avian flu mutates into a global pandemic . joely richardson , stacy keach , justina machado , ann cusack . directed by richard pearce . ( more )\nthe disease shown in the film , aired may 9 , bore a strong resemblance to the illness that killed an estimated 675 , 000 americans in 1918 and 1919 . and a good many of the issues raised came straight out of the us government ' s pandemic preparedness plans and recent news stories about possible pandemic scenarios . but some scenes and details went well beyond what happened in 1918 or what is plausible today . and along the way , important medical details were left out .\nthis one is right on the money . we have already seen this happen but not to the extent thats shown in the movie . it is a very real possibility\nthe governor , by the way , will end up playing a major role in this movie , getting just as much screen time and meaningful dialogue as the doctor .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\ni watched this movie for the first time as a requirement in a microbiology class . i was pleasantly surprised how well made the movie was . my son was small at the time & hated shots - 3 hrs in the dr office to try to get them . he watched this movie with me and at the end said\nmommy can i get my flu shot tomorrow\n. this movie explains & showcases how easily a pandemic can happen , what could happen even with emergency preparedness , and leaves you with a sense of\nwow . . .\nto realize that once you think you have a hang on things - viruses mutate . all these years later i ' m still telling people about this movie . i was disappointed it ' s not offered in digital format but was thrilled i could still find it .\nthe production also gave birders and conservationists reason to complain . it began and ended with scenes of wild geese in flight , implying that wild birds are the main carriers of the h5n1 virus around the world . this question is hotly debated , but most experts would probably say that both wild birds and poultry handling practices play a role in spreading the pathogen .\na virus with no cure . a threat with no borders . a nation with no chance of escaping h5n1 , the avian flu . when a mutation of the virus is discovered in a local marketplace , china sends an emergency summons to dr . iris varnack ( joely richardson ) of the epidemic intelligence service . when she arrives , she discovers her efforts may be too late - an american businessman has become the first victim of a strain that is passed from human to human . as the flu begins its insidious spread , secretary of health and human services collin reed ( stacy keach ) races to combat the ensuing chaos . the victim ' s wife , denise connelly ( ann cusack ) , does what she can to help other infected people . it wasn ' t supposed to happen this way - until it did .\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 .\nan american businessman flies to hong kong . in guangdong province in southern china , soldiers storm an outdoor market , forcibly confiscating chickens from terrified peasants . the american visitor negotiates production rates with a manager on a factory floor ; a worker on the assembly line coughs . by the time the american is relaxing on the long flight home , his germs are spreading from paper napkin to martini olive to sleeve .\nlet ' s meet the nurse ' s husband , a big strapping soldierboy called back from iraq to do homefront duty in flu - ravaged nyc . they have some genuinely sappy couple - moments as they reconnect and share their fears and concerns about their uncertain future . there is some real on - screen chemistry here , and it wouldn ' t surprise me at all if they ended up dating after the film wrapped ( i hear that sort of thing is common in hollywood ) . the soldier wants his wife the nurse to stay home , worried that her job at the hospital is too dangerous , but she ' s dedicated to saving lives . as is he , clearly , and he knows she ' s only doing what he himself would do .\nfrance is the first country to develop a vaccine , but its leaders refuse to share the patent ; finally , after the international community threatens sanctions , the french surrender . however gratifying , that fantasy is one of the sillier conjectures in the film . france would have no reason to prevent other countries from reproducing the vaccine , and even if it did , nearly all countries have laws that allow them to violate patents in emergencies .\nfor those interested in medical and epidemiologic details , the film left some major questions unanswered . there was no indication of the case - fatality rate , for one thing . it appeared that only two characters who had the disease survived ( the son of the businessman , and a soldier who got sick while in iraq ) , which implied a very high fatality rate . but no clear information was given . nor was there any indication of the age distribution of cases . was it the typical pattern , with the very young and very old most affected ? or did the illness hit young adults the hardest , as occurred in 1918 ? it wasn ' t clear .\n[ editor pam : it ' s a dramatic movie , but in real life , plagues that kill people this quickly also tend to burn out quickly , because their carriers die too fast to spread the disease effectively . ]\nanother example was the film ' s grimmest scene , in which dump trucks back up to a large pit and dump mounds of shrouded human bodies into it . this too may have been inspired by the 1918 experience . in that pandemic , the city of philadelphia was overwhelmed by the number of corpses , and mass graves were used for a time . but there is no record of bodies being unceremoniously dumped , and such a scenario seems inconceivable today .\nthe 1918 pandemic produced similar reports : people collapsing suddenly , coughing up blood , and autopsies revealing lungs clogged with fluid , the imprint of the\ncytokine storm ,\nor immune system overreaction . the businessman ' s copious nosebleed might have seemed sensational , but it had a basis in fact .\nthe nosebleed was described in 1918 ,\nsaid michael t . osterholm , phd , mph , director of cidrap .\nthey made it fairly extreme .\nyou know , i have to agree with the governor on this , he should totally isolate any infected areas while he still has some semblance of order in richmond . i don ' t have any problem with the government taking over in a crisis situation , this is why we pay taxes , and i have an expectation that my duly - elected representatives will do whatever needs to be done to preserve the union , even if it means sending troops into the streets and ringing an infected housing complex with barbed wire and claymores . in almost every situation imaginable that involves large - scale organization and execution of plans , the government / military do a vastly better job than us regular citizens ( suck it , ron paul ) . soldiers have the leadership , training , and material wherewithal to handle mega - crisis situations , plus they get inoculations by the gallon every year and their immune systems are surely better suited to survive in a flu outbreak . the government , both state and national , has the authority and command and control systems needed to do everything needed better , be it routing supplies to hard - hit areas to keeping the lights on and the trains running . i ' m all for temporarily giving up my constitutional rights if it means keeping society from collapsing . hell , stamp me with the mark of the new world order right now .\nit is true that it showed almost like a documentary ; and i liked that about this movie . many disaster movies focus on several troubled relationship and the main theme of the disaster is only a back drop ; not so with this film . after watching this movie , i actually felt that i knew more about avion flu and how various government agencies might deal with the problems that develop .\nthe sex and tobacco are sweeps red herrings , however : once her pager goes off , dr . varnack is on her way to china to check out reports of human - to - human transmission of the avian flu . by the time she is summoned to washington by the secretary of health and human services , collin reed ( stacy keach ) , she has no good news to share .\nvisiting that very factory that very day is an american businessman , who looks frighteningly like smilin ' bob , the guy from all those enzyte male - enhancement commercials . smilin ' bob rolls in and throws his import company - given weight around , talking down to the chinese managers , issuing vague threats of cancelled orders and un - reimbursed warehouse expenses , and has the audacity to explain the just - in - time inventory system to them like they are children . thankfully , he gets infected by the dad .\non the vaccine front , the movie made a bad situation look even worse . it depicted the government as having no vaccine at all at the outset of the pandemic . in reality , the government is stockpiling a\npre - pandemic\nvaccine based on the h5n1 virus . the supply is small , and studies have shown it takes two large doses to generate an adequate immune response , which occurs in only about half of those vaccinated . but this vaccine would probably be better than nothing if a pandemic began today .\nher dad gets the flu but still does his shift at the local bottle factory . he is hacking and coughing all over everyone , not even having the common courtesy to cover his mouth with his sleeve or keep his germy egg salad sandwich off the break room table . this is why you have sick hours , so that you don ' t give other people your illnesses , in the long run you ' ll be saving the company much more costs from lost man - hours if you just stay home and get well before coming back to work ( i have this conversation all the time . . . ) . but if he did that , i suppose we wouldn ' t have much of a movie .\nanother scene in the film has armed men trying to seize a van carrying a supply of vaccine , only to be shot by soldiers . that looked extreme , but osterholm found it conceivable .\ni don ' t think that one was necessarily unreal ,\nhe says .\nserious now ! before , when it was just poor people and minorities ( and . . . shudder . . . foreigners ) , it was bad , but you know , not too bad , but now the flu is killing off well - connected princeton - educated white men who sip brandy and attend charity balls at the met . all is indeed lost ! the doctor even sheds a tear , the first actual sign that she ' s not a cylon cyborg .\nthe doctor then flies back home and meets with health and human services secretary stacy keach in washington to discuss the flu outbreak ( which she predicts will be here soon ) . it ' s a media circus , as a worried public is demanding both answers and solutions from the government , and they can ' t offer anything more constructive than\nremember to wash your hands !\n. i really thought this movie was going to make the government the bad guys , cardboard cut - outs of evil power - hungry politicians with unscrupulous agendas , but much to my surprise the majority of the governmental officials we see really truly care about what happens to the citizens of the country . they are shown as sympathetic and proactive , if understandably concerned about their own districts as well .\npeople were , you know , not white americans . having the heroine be a racist would certainly add an original note to a tv movie , but i bet this movie isn ' t going to go that far . this attitude of hers is probably just a sop to civil libertarians in the audience . ]\nfulfillment by amazon ( fba ) is a service we offer sellers that lets them store their products in amazon ' s fulfillment centers , and we directly pack , ship , and provide customer service for these products . something we hope you ' ll especially enjoy : fba items qualify for free shipping and amazon prime .\nthe film begins with a flock of migrating geese in flight , their wings flapping to ominous hitchcockian music . ( this is not your parents '\nbirds .\n) the film then locks on to a handful of central characters whose entwined experiences define and track the pandemic . some survivors are more resilient than others , but most overcome despair and rise to the occasion .\nin some scenes , the movie clearly went over the top . one was the governor ' s decision to quarantine some neighborhoods behind chain link and barbed wire , an obviously futile measure with the pandemic well under way .\ni can ' t imagine any elected official doing that ,\nsaid osterholm .\ni think pressure would be brought to bear by other government leaders\nto prevent it .\nmeanwhile , the rest of world is beginning to die , though it ' s only seen through tv news reports playing in the background of scenes . i do appreciate the small - scale focus this movie takes , concentrating just on the outbreak ' s effects on richmond and new york city . it gives us a more intimate feel for the apocalypse than if they had tried to do location shoots scattered all over the place .\nthe long and lean ms . richardson (\nnip / tuck\n) looks terrific in a white hazmat suit , but her low - key , almost blank affect is a bit odd for the role . the stilted dialogue does not help .\nthere ' s going to be a long and brutal ordeal that will rip apart the fabric of society ,\nshe warns . dr . varnack is on the front line of the worst crisis of the 21st century , but most of the time she seems stoned .\noff to new york city now to meet the nurse , a cute latina woman who will be our secondary female lead . her hospital is swamped under with sick / think - they ' re - sick people , they are out of everything , and half the other nurses have quit , but she ' s still trying to do what ' s right , still clocking in everyday and saving lives the best she can . her very human reactions to the death and dying all around her serve to balance out the cold , analytical detachment of the doctor . and she has pretty hair .\n) . maybe i ' m heartless , but i ' m still of the ( admittedly unpopular and possibly heinous ) opinion that what the world needs is a serious thinning of the population if the environment is ever going to be allowed a chance to heal itself . i ' m a closet eco - terrorist and a firm believer in overpopulation being the number one danger to our planet ' s long - term survival , and i ' d be out there on the frontline of the fight against mankind raping mother nature if i didn ' t have to be at work at seven tomorrow and if i didn ' t have tickets to\nto further swell our hearts with hope and encouragement , we hear that the nurse and the soldier are going to have a child ( yay , though who would want to have a baby in such an environment of loss and devastation ? ) . she surprises him with a book of baby names , and he surprises her with a candlelit dinner and an impromptu salsa dance on the rooftop while sappy music plays and strands of christmas lights twinkle . and this little ray of sunshine , this little green shoot of life , is the scene this movie should end with . a tear - stained reminder that , no matter what troubles befall us , love and family will endure .\n\u00a9 2018 regents of the university of minnesota . all rights reserved . the university of minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthis tv movie is well worth watching especially if you are a disaster movie fan . the movie shows events from several points of view ( a nurse , soldier , politician , a family and a pandemic expert ) and builds on most of the characters quite well . the acting is acceptable as is how the story flows , the ending is clearly left that way to allow for a follow - up tv series which obviously did not go ahead , so does have a feeling of wanting it to continue to conclusion but the movie does progress far enough to make this a stand alone story . certainly thought provoking and one of the more believable and credible potential disasters that could occur .\n0 of 0 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nfree 5 - 8 business - day shipping within the u . s . when you order $ 25 of eligible items sold or fulfilled by amazon .\nor get 4 - 5 business - day shipping on this item for $ 5 . 99 .

nine movies featuring chan were made in hollywood between 1926 and 1949 , all of them based on the character invented by earl derr biggers in his novel the house without a key ( 1925 ) . biggers\u2019s six chan novels were best sellers , and the cinematic charlie chan was one of the best - known and most - liked fictional characters in america for nearly twenty years . biggers said that in creating chan he wanted to counter the demeaning portrayals of asians that were standard at the time , particularly the evil fu manchu , the most recognizable chinese character in western books and movies before chan came along . and indeed , unlike fu , the epitome of supposed oriental cruelty and cunning , chan is decent , brave , and honorable , as well as extremely good at nailing the bad guy .\nsong , jaymes k . 1999 .\ncharlie chan\nisle ' s toughest crime fighter .\nhonolulu star - bulletin .\ndespite the name , this is not a charlie chan film in the spirit of those black & white classics of the 30 ' s and 40s . this is just a poorly done slapstick comedy that ' s never seems to raise a smile . vapid and pointless !\nthe american unease over chan is complicated by the cinematic chan\u2019s reception in china itself , which was very nearly worshipful . when warner oland went there in 1936 to film charlie chan in shanghai , he was given full celebrity treatment , his roles as fu manchu conveniently forgotten . at his press conferences , he even adopted the charlie chan persona , answering questions in the same pidgin he used on screen . the chinese appreciated that in chan , finally , a brilliant , charming , and esteemed chinese figure was being portrayed in american movies , and this at a time when the chinese public was highly sensitive to racial slights .\nabstract : this article seeks to make sense of the enigma of charlie chan by situating him at the intersection of critical legal studies , genre studies , cognitive psychology , and postcolonial critique . it contends that chan is more than a shameful chapter in the history of american racism and orientalism , rather a product of the legal orientalist imagination\u2019s exploitation of a peculiar genre schema of detective fiction . as such , he is a figure of ambivalence , equivocation , and exception . on the one hand , chan fits the stereotype of the maverick detective who must operate within the penumbra of formal judicial apparatuses\u2014in the zone of the exception\u2014in order to match wits with the master criminal . on the other hand , it is his \u201crace\u201d that reifies the power of the exception , making him the unctuous alter ego of the insidious criminal mastermind dr . fu manchu .\nretired detective charlie chan is asked for his help by the san francisco police to solve a new series of murders . this time his usual sidekick , number one son , has been replaced by lee ' s own son , lee chan , jr .\nlepore , jill . 2010 .\nchan , the man : on the trail of the honorable detective .\nthe new yorker , 9 august .\nhuang sees chan in this sense less as a chinese uncle tom and more as a chinese nigger jim , whose own sort of pidgin was transformed by mark twain into an expression of courage and morality greater than could normally be imagined in the racist culture of the era . himself \u201ca chinese man come to america , \u201d as chang apana did , huang makes the case that a reevaluation of charlie chan might be in order . huang\u2019s deeper point is indisputable . charlie chan is an entirely american creation and an entirely american story . to know him is to know ourselves .\ncharlie chan , the fictitious chinese - american detective from hawaii , makes his first appearance in the movie charlie chan in egypt ( 1935 ) looking out the window of an airplane while flying over the pyramids and the sphinx . we next see him , looking awkward and unhappy , on a donkey , which takes him to the headquarters of an archaeological excavation in luxor . there he announces why he has come , his polite manner verging on the deferential : he has been hired by the french archaeological society to investigate the disappearance of some ancient objects on the black market .\nbiggers\u2019s first novel about charlie chan came a decade after sax rohmer\u2019s first fu manchu novel , but the two were simultaneous hits in hollywood , both at the height of their popularity in the 1930s . that both fu and chan were popular at the same time shouldn\u2019t be surprising\u2014we\u2019ve seen bigger contradictions . still , chan does seem to mark a shift in attitudes away from the sort of unadulterated bigotry that produced the asian exclusion act and toward a willingness on the part of the public to accept asians as admirable , even if still stereotypes .\nlee chan , jr . ( richard hatch ) , charlie ' s grandson , is an aspiring private eye whose only client so far is a disgruntled little girl who slaps him around for not being able to find her lost cat . in fact , there isn ' t much that lee chan , jr . can do without klutzing it up . his adoring fianc\u0103\u00a9e ( michelle pfeiffer ) , however , is completely blind to all his flaws and follows him around as if he were her seeing - eye dog . rounding out this cast of characters on the side of the law is brian keith , a pill - popping police chief who is a bundle of fits and frets . on the side of disorder is angie dickinson as the dragon queen . charlie chan sent her to prison years ago and now she ' s out to get him .\nthat would suggest a certain success for precisely the racial stereotyping that chan\u2019s detractors have decried\u2014the artificial chinaman becoming more real than the real thing . chang apana himself came to be addressed , admiringly , as charlie chan on the streets of honolulu , his real persona having been captured by the fictional character he inspired . huang makes a quiet plea to chan\u2019s detractors to see him in a less unfavorable light :\nwhat sets the dragon painter apart is its authenticity of sets , costumes and predominately japanese cast who are portraying real people and not stereotypes . it is also probable that the same unique racial pov is what obscured this film .\nmr . karloff\u2019s portrayal of the chinese criminologist has nothing about it to remind audiences of the late warner oland\u2019s \u201ccharlie chan\u201d or of his own past performances . this oriental is a thoroughly occidentalized sleuth who takes his work seriously and refrains from kidding the blundering constabulary . he has the dazzling courage to confess himself baffled now and again by perplexing circumstances , and this unique device has the result of baffling audiences doubly . ( 39 )\nof all of the pre - world war ii pop artifacts that have recently been resurrected and recycled by hollywood , the most welcome by far is charlie chan , the inscrutable detective created by earl derr biggers and brought to the screen in dozens of low - budget movies , most often in the person of warner oland and sidney toler . charlie chan is supposed to be chinese but , in fact , he ' s as american as apple pie , maxene andrews and chandu the magician . as much as any other public figure before pearl harbor , he reassured americans of their place in the world , solving drawing room mysteries in 70 minutes or so and dispensing wisdom that came straight from domestically manufactured fortune cookies .\nboth the yellow peril and world war ii saw the repolarization of americanness and \u201cotherness\u201d ( and the latter , the dominance of the hardboiled detective ) but , in the years in between , hollywood\u2019s intention\u2014even if misguided in its execution\u2014was to offer the asian detective as one of america\u2019s heroes .\nreview : this comedy - mystery features a brief appearance by peter ustinov as charlie chan , with the sleuth ' s grandson , lee chan , jr .

political anxieties of the time . the influx of chinese immigrants to america incited a social panic in the face of the perceived \u201cyellow peril\u201d and resulted in the immigration act of 1924 , which restricted chinese immigration into the states . as gary okihiro explains , the yellow peril was a product of a rationalizing discourse linked to western colonial expansion :\npeter ustinov , who carries on the tradition of the occidental charlie chan in this new , big -

known black movie actor , plays a character named snowshoes , an employee of the archaeologists who is superstitious , befuddled , and easily frightened\u2014a negro stereotype put in for comic relief . charlie chan was an aphorism - spouting , pidgin - speaking \u201cchinaman\u201d who took soft , feminine steps and had fake slanted eyes . it is clear why he has given offense to writers like jessica hagedorn , frank chin , and the novelist gish jen\u2014even while many caucasians still probably see nothing wrong with him .\nsimilarly , the reviewer for the motion picture daily praises the film for not duplicating chan because , as the review implies , chan seemed more interested \u201cin coining philosophical wisecracks or kidding policemen\u201d than actually apprehending criminals ( 6 ) . certainly , the chan films had a large comic component with chan\u2019s african - american chauffeur ( most often birmingham brown ) and older offspring ( mainly lee , jimmy , and tommy ) acting as foils to their father during the investigation ; on the other hand , mr . wong is thoughtful , somewhat impassive , and mainly serious\u2014although he does smile when he occasionally makes a humorous pun . according to rimoldi , the wong series was not meant to compete with fox\u2019s successful chan series but instead to cash in on the popularity of the asian detective ( 173 ) . and the success of mr . wong was most likely due to the star who portrayed him\u2014boris karloff , an eurasian actor who had made his name playing in monster movies\u2014and the publicity material highlighted karloff\u2019s name above all else .\nhistory is complex and a full analysis of the influences and cultural attitudes of each time period is far beyond the scope of this article . however , we hope that readers keep an open mind and allow the pictures to speak for themselves . included below are examples of whitewashing of southern and middle eastern asian characters ( more properly considered brownface ) .\nmagazine featured multiple images of asian americans as detrimental to the creation of a well -

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

sara baartman .\nironically , the beginning of this period was marked by the success of two films of high quality with solid cultural pedigrees . ted kotcheff\u2019s the apprenticeship of duddy kravitz ( 1974 ) , starring richard dreyfuss and based on mordecai richler \u2019s novel , and j\u00e1n kad\u00e1r ' s lies my father told me ( 1975 ) , based on a script by ted allen , went on to become commercial hits and received oscar nominations for their screenplays . but these films proved to be the exception during this period and not the rule . most of the international co - productions and trite commercial vehicles that littered the second half of the 1970s \u2014 such as city on fire ( 1979 ) with henry fonda and ava gardner , running ( 1979 ) with michael douglas , and nothing personal ( 1980 ) with donald sutherland and suzanne somers \u2014 provided one box office and artistic embarrassment after another .\ngetting the film made was hard enough for vidor , but getting it screened in theaters would prove to be even more difficult . hallelujah debuted in new york city with an unprecedented pair of concurrent screenings in times square and harlem . the hollywood newspaper variety speculated that it was eva jessye\u2019s idea to debut the film at harlem\u2019s famous lafayette theatre in addition to the embassy on broadway ; the paper argued that showing it there did \u201csomething for the race that none of the other directors or producers had ever done . \u201d harlem was abuzz over the film\u2019s world premiere , a party that featured the cast mainstays along with dignitaries such as oscar depriest , an illinois congressman and the first african american elected to the house of representatives in the twentieth century .\nnobleman marries a gypsy woman but when at court he falls in love with a princess .\ndaniel steinhart is a ph . d . candidate in cinema and media studies at ucla\u2019s school of theatre , film and television , where he is completing a thesis on the internationalization of hollywood production and foreign location shooting in the postwar era . he conducted his thesis research in france on a fulbright fellowship .\none of the most significant events in canadian film history was the establishment of the national film board of canada ( nfb ) . in 1938 , the federal government commissioned scottish filmmaker john grierson \u2014 who had coined the term \u201cdocumentary , \u201d and had been head of the empire marketing board and the general post office in britain \u2014 to study the state of film production in canada . he wrote a report that year that led to the creation of the nfb in may 1939 , and was named the board\u2019s first film commissioner in october 1939 .\nthe bureau focused on travelogues and industrial films through the 1920s and 1930s , with sporadic attempts at more meaningful projects , such as lest we forget ( 1935 ) and the royal visit ( 1939 ) . the bureau didn\u2019t convert to sound films until 1934 , and was effectively replaced in 1939 by the creation of the national film board ( nfb ) , which officially absorbed the bureau in 1941 .\nin some respect also , the newsreel tradition could be said to have started with the film , excursion of the french photographic society to neuville ( louis lumiere , 1895 ) . other works in this category included a film on the crowning of the czar , coronation of nicholas ii ( 1896 ) , the burial rites of the british queen , the funeral of queen victoria ( 1901 ) and films dealing with warfare such as , the assassination of a british sentry ( 1900 ) , attack on a china mission ( 1900 ) , attack on a japanese convoy ( 1904 ) , amongst others . the newsreel in a weekly format was reportedly started by charles pathe of france in 1910 ( ellis and mclane , p . 7 ) . the anthropological tradition in the documentary format was launched by the father of documentary , robert flaherty , in his film , nanook of the north ( 1922 ) , followed by moana ( 1926 ) , and man of aran ( 1934 ) .\nmarius is faced with a choice whether to fulfill his passion by sailing the seas or stay and marry the woman he loves .\nin the postwar era , the hiring of unit publicists and the facilitation of press coverage increased the benefit of doing promotional work during the production phases , rather than waiting until the production finished to sell the film .\nthese movies also let audiences see some of broadway and vaudeville ' s heralded performers of the time , including marilyn miller (\nsally ,\nsunny\n) , bert wheeler and robert woolsey (\nrio rita\n) , the duncan sisters (\nit ' s a great life\n) , vivienne segal (\ngolden dawn\n) and ethel waters (\non with the show !\n) .\nlucky star ,\nwhich was made in the brief transitional period between silent and sound films , included a few isolated and hastily added lines of dialogue when it opened\non the broadway screen ,\nas a 1929 review put it . but it is abundantly clear from this silent version , which was recently located in the vaults of the netherlands film museum in amsterdam , that this dialogue must have sounded superfluous , since the story unfolds so well without it .\n( harold daniels , 1957 ) states , \u201cphotographed in its entirety on location in the magnificent cajun country . \u201d\nanother high value proposition for filmmakers and businesses is product placement \u2013 where branded products ( bearing a trademark ) are woven into the storyline of a movie . the earliest example of product placement dates from the movie wings in 1929 , which featured hershey\u2019s chocolate .\nthe dixie jubilee singers at an unknown memphis location with the rest of the movie cast and production crew . director king vidor is seated front and center . georgia rodgers woodruff , the film\u2019s lead female singer , stands at left , wearing a white hat .\nrecognizing the importance of film preservation is a relatively recent phenomenon in hollywood . early motion picture film was especially prone to destruction by fire thanks to its nitrate base . and early films that haven ' t yet been destroyed by fire can deteriorate in any number of other ways . in fact , it ' s estimated that over 90 percent of all movies made before 1929 are probably lost forever .\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 .\nwhen marian nixon gets al jolson ' s record of\nlittle pal\nout of an album to play for their son davey lee , in the long shot the

where does raj go ? who does simi decide to be with \u2013 raj or aditya ? what about her kids ? the rest of the film answers these questions .\ndeepshikha\u2019s story is well - intentioned as it tries to depict the issue of divorced women\u2019s remarriage . however , her screenplay , which is rather poorly - written , pulls the film down . right from the word \u2018go\u2019 , the audience is bombarded with clich\u00e9d scenes and interactions between the characters that lead to nothing . the relationships between the characters , whether they are amicable or hateful , don\u2019t ring true at all . for example , simi loves her kids dearly but she goes for parties and on holidays with friends , leaving the kids behind . the climax is very disappointing . the dialogues , penned by deepshikha , are terribly childish .\ndeepshikha nagpal\u2019s performance is okay . she looks the age of the character and acts ably but the insipid drama negates it all . kaishav arora doesn\u2019t have the looks of a hero , in spite of his muscled body , which he flaunts a lot . also , he needs serious lessons in acting . he is expressionless . inder kumar overacts . chitrasi rawat and delnaz paul do average jobs in their small roles . baby vidhika , master vivaan , kunika lal , achint kaur , rajesh khera , shishir sharma and manini dey fill the bill . ayub khan is wasted in a cameo appearance which does not make much sense .\nsanju in dubai : government creates history with its decision for this . . .\nsanju box office : 10 days total vs tiger zinda hai , dangal , . . .\nsanju box office day 7 early trends : to end its week . . .\nsanju box office day 8 early trends : a dream run for . . .\nsanju box office success party : ranbir kapoor , rajkumar hirani & others . . .\nsalman khan shows his \u2018golden heart\u2019 side once again ; to help . . .\nurltoken is a website devoted to providing authentic bollywood news , box - office reports and film reviews .\nthis is the story of a 35 year old woman ' simmi\u2019 . she is strong , beautiful and a famous choreographer , divorced with two kids , living alone . her friends , bobby and nikki , work with her in the dance academy . a few years after her divorce , all her friends and her parents force her to remarry . as not only she but even her kids need a father in their life . simmi is very clear that she will only marry if the guy loves her , as well as her children . otherwise she is happy alone . she meets a handsome , good looking model raj , who likes her and joins simmi ' s dance academy . raj loves kids and kids are very fond of him too . seeing all these things and the various situations raj handles like a man in simmi ' s life , they both fall in love . but reality of life is that our society does not accept a younger guy getting married to a divorcee with children . in the mean time simmi ' s ex - husband wants her back in his life . will simmi go back to her ex husband ?

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 - financed drama that stars michelle monaghan , nathan fillion , benjamin bratt , joey lauren adams and jimmy bennett .\n3 . convoy ( 1978 ) : remember that song by c . w . mccall called \u201cconvoy\u201d ? well , this film was based off that song . it tells the story of a group of truckers who form a mile - long convoy in a support of a fellow trucker\u2019s vendetta with a notably abusive sheriff .\nmottern , a former nicholl fellowship winner who once produced the slamdance film festival , has written and directed docus for bbc and other networks .\nonly a trucker would say : \u201cfor the good old american lifestyle : for the money , for the glory , and for the fun . . . mostly for the money . \u201d\nthree young people on a road trip from colorado to new jersey talk to a trucker on their cb radio , then must escape when he turns out to be a psychotic killer .\ncoco receives an expectedly resplendent home -

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 -

wheelers for a living . this film enriches and challenges every preconceived notion of truck driving , while seeks to understand what is gained and what is lost as a woman , a mother , and a trucker on the open road .\na trucker , leading a life free of depth and on the way to nowhere , is forced to make a decision about her aggressive loner 11 - year - old son whom she openly deserted ten years previously .\nmany of you very graciously donated to this project in 2002 . i once again appeal to your generosity in asking for your support with the completion of this film .\nall members of the community are warmly invited for welcome drinks to kick off the 2016 somos n\u00f3s : diverse brazil summer educator institute . the reception will be hosted at vanderbilt university with light appetizers and wine , and will be followed by a film screening of the film central station . this event is free and open to the public .\nimmediate contributions will fund a shoot in alabama this winter , and help launch a spring 2011 edit . continued support ( welcome and encouraged ! ) will sustain a 16 - week edit and enable us to support the talents of an award - winning documentary film crew ( currently logging many free hours ! ) the film is set for august 2011 completion .\nthere are so many wonderfully unconventional things to like about this tiny independent film , monaghan ' s earthy and uncompromising performance chief among them , its depth surprising you at every turn .\never since stagecoach clattered across the desert , hollywood has been on a journey that\u2019s as important as its destination . we hitch a ride on andrea arnold\u2019s new film about a gang of travelling teenagers\nshorts : press kit containing 50 word synopsis in english , 3 hi - res film stills ( 300dpi , cmyk and / or rgb color ) , digital trailer with english subtitles if available .\ndescription : lincoln hawk ( sylvester stallone ) is a struggling trucker who ' s trying to rebuild his life after the death of his wife . his son doesn ' t think too highly of him until he enters a nation -

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 ."]}

brainstem death , more recently referred to diagnosis of death by neurological criteria , has three essential components : the new guidance from the aomrc builds on the original codes of practice and provides greater clarity over various elements of both patient assessment and the performance of the tests themselves . clinical interrogation of the brainstem serves to demonstrate the absence or otherwise of brainstem functions , but it is the initial phases of assessment that indicate their irreversibility .\ndeath consists of the loss of capacity for consciousness and the loss of the ability to breathe .\ncommercials or in episodes of tv series , like this one ,\ndrill for death .\ntwo sets of criteria for the diagnosis of brain death have been of particular influence . the landmark harvard code of practice sets the standard for \u2018whole brain\u2019 death that dominates opinion in north america and beyond , and which underpins the requirement for ancillary testing that sometimes accompanies contemporary criteria . 3 in contrast , the original uk criteria were based upon a conviction that the key elements of brain death\u2014namely irreversible loss of the capacity to breathe combined with the irreversible loss of the capacity for consciousness\u2014could be satisfied through loss of brainstem function alone and that such a state could usually be diagnosed on clinical grounds . 4 regardless of the details , acceptance of the concept of brain death had two consequences . first , there emerged an understandable belief that there were now different kinds of death\u2014brain death and cardiorespiratory or somatic death . secondly , because transplantation outcomes from organs retrieved from heartbeating brain dead donors were superior to those from asystolic donors , brain death has become inextricably linked with organ donation .\nformer detective constable delroy , 56 , said : \u201cyou feel as if someone has pronounced a death sentence .\nalthough it is important to recognize that death is a process , there is a clear societal and professional demand for a reliable means of identifying the moment of death . although the criteria for the diagnosis of death should be separated from matters relating to subsequent organ donation as far as possible , it is nevertheless necessary to consider the criteria for the diagnosis and confirmation of death using cardiorespiratory criteria as it relates to donation after cardiac death ( dcd ) since it is in this context that guidance is most required . guidance from the aomrc advises that death can be diagnosed and confirmed after 5 min of continuous asystole . asystole refers to the absence of mechanical cardiac function and , although it can be identified in a number of ways ( which will in part be dependent upon the monitoring modalities that are being used or are available ) , in practice , this will involve a combination of continuous ecg and intra - arterial pressure monitoring . within the context of dcd , the starting point for the determination of cardiorespiratory death should be the loss of circulation as demonstrated by the absence of pulsatile flow on a correctly functioning arterial line or alternatively with echocardiography where the expertise exists , rather than electrical silence on an ecg . however , in the absence of an arterial line , asystole on the ecg is the only reliable way of confirming 5 min of absent circulation . this diagnosis should only be made by a clinician who is familiar with the specific implications of confirming death by cardiorespiratory criteria in this fashion .\nin infants younger than 2 months of age , the diagnosis of brainstem death becomes difficult . coma in this age group is often multifactorial . although hypoxic encephalopathy remains the most likely cause of devastating brain injury , it is often difficult to demonstrate structural brain damage and thus the preconditions are rarely met .\ni

with the continuing recognition of the medical benefits of cadaveric organ donation present the clinician working in critical care with specific challenges . although these can largely be overcome ,

when her comatose husband died in the icu while on life support , the whispers about dr . elena gardner began . another death during her training puts her under suspicion . when the pattern is repeated in the hospital where she is attempting to start over , the whispers turn into a\nas noted above , aspects of modern critical care have placed new demands upon the diagnostic criteria for death and even challenged our very understanding of it . declaration of death in a corpse in an advanced stage of decay and decomposition requires little in the way of diagnostic acumen . however , the possibility of successful resuscitation in a patient who has recently suffered a cardiac arrest , together with the maintained circulation and somatic physiology in an individual who is brainstem dead , highlights the inadequacy of using cardiorespiratory criteria alone in the diagnosis of death . furthermore , some philosophers and ethicists speculate that the loss of capacity for thought , reason , and feeling may indicate a state of death of the person that could be distinguished from the biological death of the organism as a whole . however , there remains a professional and indeed societal conviction that death occurs as a single phenomenon that marks the end of the biological existence of the organism and that its timing can be identified with a reasonable degree of accuracy . recent statements from both the uk and the usa give professional credibility to these convictions . for instance , guidance from the academy of medical royal colleges ( aomrc ) in the uk\ndiagnosis

death of her husband on icu a series of phone calls accuses her of performing a mercy killing . when the\ntwo appropriately qualified clinicians are required to diagnose brainstem death after exclusion of reversible causes of unconsciousness , confirmation of the absence of brainstem reflexes , and completion of apnoea testing .\ndiagnosis death is pulsing with action , suspense , mystery , and one very big question that dr . elena gardner is desperate to know - - is she a mercy killer ? having no memory of what she did around the time of the patient ' s death , she doesn ' t know .

characters never sure what is real and what is drug - induced hallucination . a pleasant surprise !\nalthough i desperately hate to label the film in such a manner , \u201cdiagnosis : death\u201d will probably only appeal to die - hard fans of \u201cflight of conchords . \u201d in addition to being extremely slow on the uptake , the picture never properly finds its footing , leaving you with the feeling that a bit more spit and polish could have been used to smooth out the rough edges . the jokes are mediocre , the scares are mediocre , and the performances are painfully mediocre - - in other

standard for death are considered to be the simultaneous and irreversible loss of both the capacity for consciousness and the capacity to breathe . the criteria required to confirm such a state will vary according to the precise circumstances in which death has occurred and the extent to which this has resulted in the collapse of normal biochemical processes , although it is clear that neurological criteria are in most direct alignment ( fig . 1 ) .\nstill ,\ndrill for death\nis a fun little nod to m * a * s * h and , considering that almost all the cast is still with us , it ' s

exactly the same manner as in the adult . also as in adults , the tests must be undertaken by two competent clinicians of whom one should be a consultant . one , however , should be a paediatrician and one should not be directly involved in that patient ' s care .\nany return of cardiac or respiratory activity during this period of observation should prompt a further 5 min observation period after asystole develops again . at the completion of 5 min of continuous asystole , the clinician should confirm the absence of pupillary reaction and motor response to corneal stimulation and supra - orbital pressure . death is recorded at the time these observations are completed .\nthe historical record is littered with countless examples of failures to distinguish deep coma from death , and accounts of the obsession with premature burial and the use of phrases such as \u2018saved by the bell\u2019 and the \u2018graveyard shift\u2019 . although the scientific foundations of modern medical practice have largely allowed these issues to be resolved , they have been replaced by even more challenging circumstances that are primarily the result of techniques of advanced resuscitation . for example , the demonstration of the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in maintaining cerebral perfusion has challenged the axiom that cardiac arrest is inevitably associated with death ( at least temporarily ) . similarly , interventions in patients with terminal respiratory arrest secondary to an intracranial catastrophe has led to the emergence of a state of profound and irreversible apnoeic coma in patients whose heart continues to beat for as long as mechanical ventilation is continued . this second group of patients , originally described as being in a state beyond coma ( le coma d\u00e9pass\u00e9 ) , 2 has proved particularly challenging for both the medical profession and society as a whole , although eventually led to the emergence of widely accepted criteria

- rama : mash movie stars elliott gould and sally kellerman guest star , as well as three old pals :\nwatched this with some friends . found it most useful for ridicule , a la mst 3k . a teenage student ( who appears to be 30 ) and a teacher for whatever reason agree to participate in a drug trial locked into a clinic with a confused doctor ( flight of the concords ' bret mckenzie ) , an insane nurse , and , as it turns out , a family of ghosts looking for revenge . they experience hallucinations and explore the mystery of how the ghosts died . the movie is laugh out loud hilarious with the three main cast member of flight of the concords popping in and out randomly . the mystery makes no sense . the sexual relationship between the girl and the teacher would be creepy were she not clearly about as old as he is . the climax is ridiculously artificial . basically , grab a beer and make fun of diagnosis death and you can have a good time . take it seriously , and you ' ll be lost .\nthe uk code recognizes that there may be circumstances where clinicians feel unable to confirm death using neurological criteria based on clinical assessment alone . such circumstances include : provision is made in the guidelines for a number of confirmatory tests to be performed in order to confirm the clinical suspicion of brainstem death . these tests are generally aimed at confirming the presence or absence of cerebral blood flow or cerebral function . eeg is the most popular and best validated ancillary test worldwide , but is of little value in cases of drug intoxication since sedative drugs suppress neuronal and therefore eeg activity . confirmation of the absence of cerebral blood flow by angiography establishes the irreversibility of coma in such circumstances , but may be more difficult to organize . ct angiography may be more readily available , but has yet to be properly validated . expert advice should be sought from a local neuroscience unit if necessary .\nthe tests have two components\u2014an examination of the integrity of a number of brainstem reflexes that are mediated by afferent and efferent components of various cranial nerves , and the apnoea test ( table 2 ) . the apnoea test should only be performed once the total absence of brainstem reflex activity has been demonstrated and both elements of the tests must be performed twice . the time of death is recorded as the time at which the first set of tests was completed .\n2011 rt book reviews reviewers ' choice award finalist the threatening midnight calls followed dr . elena gardner from

widow\nelena gardner is a young doctor , just finishing her residency in a ditinguished dallas hospital . she ' s also a young widow , whose husband mark suffered an aneurysm that caused brain death . after struggling with the decision for weeks , elena violates protocol by writing a do not resuscitate order on his chart herself - - and shortly thereafter , someone turns off mark ' s respirator . elena thinks she may have done it herself , but she doesn ' t remember doing so . this is merely a private grief and mystery ,\nthe summary above makes this book sound far more religious than what it really is . i was more than halfway through the book before anything more religious than having a preacher as a character came forth . basically the religious part of the book is that when elena loses her husband , she loses her faith . a whole lot of bad stuff happens and while most of it happens she is living in the spare room in the preacher ' s house . at some point the preacher ' s wife reminds her that god is looking out for her , even if she doesn ' t feel him . she sees a friend and fellow doctor praying for a patient . after the climax , she she goes to church and hears a sermon about the resurrection . in short , the book is far more romantic medical thriller than christian . like mabry ' s other books ( click link for my review ) medical error and code blue , diagnosis death moves quickly and is hard to put down . mabry ' s medical background shows in his descriptions of medical center life and illnesses . his characters are likable and not too good to be true . i ' d like to thank the publisher for providing a review copy via netgalley and i think most folks would enjoy this book . grade : b +\npersonal drama and spooky circumstances permeate this third and final installment of the physician - author ' s\nprescription for trouble\nseries . when her husband is taken off life support in the hospital where she works , elena gardner becomes a grieving widow who must still perform her duties as doctor . a procedural blip complicates the circumstances of her husband ' s death and , to make matters worse , the emotionally devastated gardner cannot recall her actions at the time of his death . did she pull the plug on her husband ? her colleagues seem understanding , but when another patient in her care mysteriously dies , the hospital staff become suspicious . all the while , gardner gets cryptic , threatening phone calls that follow her even when she relocates to texas . is gardner at the center of these mercy killings or is someone close to her trying to sully her name ? mabry ( medical error ) crafts a tight medical drama that will have readers guessing . for fans of the gory , gritty details of patient trauma and hospital gossip , this book certainly will be an enjoyable page - turner . ( apr . ) ( c ) copyright pwxyz , llc . all rights reserved .\nwhile i enjoyed the story line and the plot , i wasn ' t completely immersed in this story and that is why i had to give this book a 3 star rating . the story is interesting , but for some odd reason , there are several points within this book where the story seems to drag on a bit before picking back up and getting interesting . and while elena is a likable character , she ' s sort of set up as a one dimensional character . she ' s a woman that just left a residency job after the death of her husband . that ' s\nthis book is the third in a series . however , this was the first one that i read . thankfully , the author did such a superb job that i did not feel lost or like i was missing something . having worked in the medical field since the late 80s , i can be a little overly critical of medical dramas and mysteries . i know what is possible and what is just over the top . this book was so well written that i enjoyed every minute and can honestly say that there were no head shaking moments because of medical errors . since the author is a physician himself , he was able to accurately write this story . yet , he doesn\u2019t bog the reader down with over use of medical terminology . i know many of my friends who get frustrated by not knowing what things mean . this book will surely not cause that type of frustration in the reader . this was a fast paced thriller that i did not want to put down at all . i kept me on edge . the few times that i had to put it down , i was just itching to run over and pick it back up . i just had to find out what happened next . you can see the book trailer at diagnosis death on animoto . in conjunction with the wakela ' s world disclosure statement , i received a product in order to enable my review . no other compensation has been received . my statements are an honest account of my experience with the brand . the opinions stated here are mine alone .\ndr . elena gardner has been getting threatening late night calls ever since her husband mark died . she is trying to work through the grief , and struggling with mounds of unpaid medical bills . her only glimpse of hope is working with a well respected doctor at zale university hospital where her husband died . when that hope is dashed , she is offered another job a few hours away ; the only problem is that there are some questions about her husbands ' death from an intracranial bleed . right before he was taken off life support , she had signed the dnr , but that opened up a controversy about the timing and if she personally ended his life . haunted by his death , she questions her actions whenever she is with someone with a similar condition in the er . will she be able to function as a doctor , or will the threatening phone calls and self doubt follow her where ever she starts a medical practice ? this is an excellent medical suspense novel , written by a doctor , who gives insights into the medical professions struggle with ethics . i didn ' t realize that this was the 3rd book in a series called prescription for trouble , it reads like a stand alone and it wet my appetite to read the first two . the last page really spoke to me , and brought tears to my eyes . i read it on kindle and gave 4 stars .\ndiagnosis death\nis a medical suspense novel with a romance . while i was able to figure out whodunit before the big reveal , the answer to the last mysterious bit was a surprise . while the reader wasn ' t told from the beginning who was behind the calls , etc . , the story wasn ' t really about investigating the mystery . the mystery wasn ' t solved earlier only because elena was terrified that she might be the killer . she avoided investigating what was going on though she hated what not knowing as doing to her and what the rumors were doing to her career . she had to find the courage to face the truth . the suspense was created by wondering who was behind the calls , what was going to go wrong next , various medical emergencies , and some physical danger to the characters near the end . the characters were complex and acted in realistic ways . the details about the job and setting brought the story alive in my imagination without slowing the fast pacing . many of the characters were christian . elena struggled with why god didn ' t answer her prayers to heal her husband . she wasn ' t on\nspeaking terms\nwith god during most of the book though she still believed in him . the story had a christian theme running throughout it . there were frequent mentions of\ni ' m praying for you ,\na brief sermon summary by a pastor ' s wife , and a bible verse that impacted elena . this book was the third in the series , but you don ' t need to read the previous novels to understand this one . however , the characters from the first novel ,\ncode blue ,\nshow up in this one , so reading this novel out of order will spoil the romantic outcome of\ncode blue .\nthere was no sex and no bad language . overall , i ' d recommend this suspenseful novel . i received this book as an ebook review copy from the publisher , provided through netgalley

, but for some odd reason , there are several points within this book where the story seems to drag on a bit before picking back up and getting interesting . and while elena is a likable character , she ' s sort of set up as a one dimensional character . she ' s a woman that just left a residency job after the death of her husband . that ' s about it . we see her slowly work through her grief of losing her husband a few months prior but even that plot seems to take a back seat to the story after several chapters . the mystery portion was a good idea but for some reason , it just didn ' t play out well . it seems like it was just put out there , it was over with quickly and we don ' t get a lot of explanation except for a few spoken words at the end while everyone is at a public restaurant . also , there is one small plot portion where we don ' t hear a lot more about it . this character was turned into the cops , we find out it wasn ' t their first time and that ' s about it . the book is a fast read however . it ' s not filled with too many boring details or situations that have no relevance to the plot . it ' s just the story and nothing else . not a bad read but not exceptional

should be a consultant and both should have been fully registered with the general medical council for at least 5 yr . the tests must be undertaken by the two doctors together and completed successfully on two occasions .\nclinicians must be sure that a patient ' s apnoeic coma is not the result of , either completely or in part , reversible influences such as sedative drugs , endocrine and metabolic abnormalities , hypothermia , or cardiovascular instability ( table 1 ) .\npotentially reversible causes of coma and guidance for testing . note that these limits are not prescriptive and do not replace clinical judgement when assessing their contribution ( and therefore importance ) to the overall condition of the patient\ndrug intoxication represents a clinically significant reversible cause of coma and may complicate assessment on occasions where the patient has received infusions of sedative drugs as part of their critical care treatment and when their brain injury is a result of drug - induced self - harm . the most problematic of circumstances are those where the identity of the intoxicating substances is unknown , where drug elimination is impaired by reduced hepatorenal function , or where agents with long half - lives have been used . possible approaches include :\na period of observation that approximates to four times the elimination half - life of the agent involved to allow effective drug elimination . this approach is best suited to circumstances where short - acting agents such as propofol and alfentanil have been given to patients with normal hepatic and renal function .\nthe administration of specific antagonists such as flumazenil or naloxone in circumstances where the residual effects of opioids or benzodiazepines is suspected .\nplasma analysis to confirm that a suspected sedative is either not detected or at a subtherapeutic level . this option is particularly suited for agents with long or unpredictable half - lives such as thiopental or phenobarbital .\na confirmatory test to demonstrate the absence of cerebral blood flow / perfusion , for example , cerebral angiography .\ndespite this general guidance , the revised aomrc code remains permissive and gives a clinician the latitude to dismiss the influence of sedative agents in circumstances where there is independent evidence to suggest that the patient is brainstem dead , for example , on the basis of the computed tomographic ( ct ) head scan or a prolonged period of malignant intracranial hypertension .\nother causes of apnoea are rare but should be actively sought if the history or clinical examination suggests their presence . severe neuromuscular weakness of any cause can produce apnoea . after head injury , it is necessary to exclude cervical spinal cord injury as a cause of respiratory paralysis . it is also sensible to routinely use a nerve stimulator to confirm the absence of residual drug - related neuromuscular block .\nformal testing

priya and hemant - mrunmayee , he has managed to keep the young audience happy , with their different approach to their respective characters . while aniket and hemat have timed their humour filled scenes very well , priya comes with a good support . for the first time , mrunmayee has attempted something different through her abnormal character . the film is not a non stop laughter film ; but certainly enjoyable . the best thing about this film is that , it does not turn vulgar at any moment .\nthe entire film however belongs to ashok saraf , who has been so natural throughout the film . his real acting talent is however noticed in the climax scene , when he reacts , turning emotional . vandana gupte has offered a very good support and it was nice to see these two veteran artistes together , after a long time . anand ingale finds a good meaty role , and he has lived up to his expectations . anand has proved that he can fit into any character role ; be it a comedy or a villain . in this film , he gets a chance to play both together .\nanother actor , who has impressed through his perfect body language in the film , is hrishikesh joshi . he has performed the role of goraksha , very convincingly . excellent support comes from the young team comprising of aniket , hemant , priya and mrunmayee . but , the surprise pack comes from late shrikant moghe , who is the role of a judge , makes his presence felt , in the concluding part of the film . just watch his expressions and a variety while delivering his dialogues . this film is certainly a tribute to him .\nurltoken ( mmw ) complete updates about marathi entertainment incuding movies , theatre , television , events and celebrities .\ncopyright \u00a9 2010 -

( 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 . [ newsis ]\nchild pictures of the actress kang han - na from the movie\nempire of lust\nhave been revealed . the fantasio official facebook revealed pictures of the actress ' s innocent past . as a young girl , kang has pretty feature not much different today . her dimples and long legs and arms prove she ' s a natural born beauty , . . .\nyes . . there are a lot of sex scenes . . that ' s why its name empire of lust . i ' m not focus on the bed scene . . . the strength of this movie is lays on actor jang ( he acted with excellent as a prince yi bang won ) . i already repeat many times watched this movie because of jang hyuk excellent face expression . . you can see he is full of greed and ambitious for this role\nfor most of the time spent watching the movie , i could say that \u201c empire of lust \u201d ( 2015 ) did not offend . and , if the 3 rd act did not fail to nail the already paid in full courtesan , i would not have remembered it negatively at least . however , the 3 rd act just left a bad taste in my mouth .\nempire of lust \u2019s biggest flaw is in trying to cram a grand romance as well as complex royal intrigue into one film when each story would have been better served by getting more attention in construction . the sheer amount of story leaves little time for shin , one of the korean industry\u2019s strongest actors who deserves more recognition , and kang , saddled with yet another role where a woman is defined by rape , to create characters we can connect with . similarly jang\u2019s politically ambitious brother is reduced to standard conniver and kim ha - 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 - focused festivals and perhaps targeted release in urban markets .\nkang ha - neul can be said to be the best actor when it comes to portraying youth these days . he played lee hyo - sin in\nthe heirs\n, jang baek -

50 shades welcome bit of bodice - ripping ( or han - bok ripping ) erotica , that\u2019s not what it is in execution . it would be easy to expect something reminiscent of e j - yong ' s reserved but fairly , ahem , lusty untold scandal ( a korean spin on dangerous liaisons ) but empire has a decidedly nasty edge to it that gives the considerable sex scenes a bitter taste . even still , following an info -

hee than what meets the eye . beneath her noble exterior lies a woman who insinuated herself into min - jae ' s life with a heartbent on vengeance , . . .\njang hyuk begins shooting in taiwan , what does the korean media think of the\navengers\n? , fabien introduces a couple of new local releases , and the 16th jeonju international film festival gets under way , . . .\nwhile just a backdrop , the \u201cc\u201d plot comes upfront in 3 rd act . this is expected because of the nature of the events being used in the movie . it is not difficult to have the \u201ca\u201d and \u201cb\u201d plots feed into the \u201cc\u201d plot . until the start of the 3 rd act , everything was ready for this to happen .\nthe fact that he isn\u2019t recognized by his own father pushes him into a dark world full of women and alcohol .\nthe \u201cc\u201d plot\u2019s development in the 3 rd act turned out to totally negate the need for either the \u201ca\u201d and \u201cb\u201d plots to exist . this means that most of the movie had no real relevance to the outcome of the movie .\nhowever , this is actually more of the \u201cc\u201d plot . the \u201ca\u201d plot is a love story where the silent stoic type\nmin - jae is played by maverick actor shin ha - kyun who is attempting his first period film role in 18 years . min - jae holds a great deal of power in his hands , but he achieved none of it on its own .\nan orphan becomes the disciple of a powerful sorcerer and is drawn into a larger conflict among the world ' s magical elite .\nplays the third prince who was the de facto political / military leader of his side even though he was not the eldest son .\nhowever , this body building is not for the action since he actually does not do much of it . rather , it is for sex !\n\u201cthe missing and suspicious records between the latter part of goryeo and early joseon was what aroused my interest , such as those regarding the yi bang - 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 -

release \u201cgleason\u201d theatrically .\nprevious exclusive : amazon studios is closing a deal for all u . s . rights to gleason , one of the most acclaimed documentaries to premiere at this year\u2019s sundance film festival . the docu focuses on steve gleason , a former nfl defensive back who played for the new orleans saints and was a local hero there who blocked a punt in the first game when the superdome reopened after the devastating hurricane katrina . he was diagnosed with als at age 34 and given five years to live . through vividly shot video journals that are a big part of the film \u2014 gleason wanted to leave a record of his life for his unborn son \u2014 director clay tweel shows how gleason took that to heart to live life as fully as one possibly can . since his diagnosis , gleason has : gone skydiving , interviewed pearl jam , spoken at the united nations , starred in a super bowl commercial , attended the state of the union address , helped pass the steve gleason act , founded the largest als research project in the history of the disease , and started one of the world\u2019s most recognizable als organizations , team gleason . and most importantly , he became a father . the footage was shot over a period of four years .\nthe fate of the project was unclear . david lee , hired by pamphilon earlier that year , texted gleason saying he was still available to shoot . on easter sunday , lee filmed a family barbecue ; within weeks , gleason asked him to record the placement of a feeding tube in his stomach , putting lee into the kind of private , uncomfortable situation that distinguishes gleason from similar documentaries .\nthe seattle - based documentarian made run ricky run , a documentary about former saints and miami dolphins star ricky williams in 2010 for espn films ' popular series 30 for 30 . pamphilon approached gleason in the spring of 2011 about collaborating on a film and contributing to gleason ' s growing video archive \u2014 which the father - to - be saw as a chance to communicate with his child before the worst ravages of als took hold .\ntweel , who previously directed finders keepers , is also editor of gleason and the film is produced by seth gordon ( the oscar winning sports docu undefeated ) , kimi culp , scott fujita , tom lavia , kevin lake , mary rohlich and thomas mceachin . mark shapiro and will staeger are exec producers . the docu was financed by img films , a division of the sports agency , along with a large group of donors / supporters surrounding team gleason that includes exec producer paul varisco and new orleans saints quarterback drew brees . microsoft and go pro also supported the film , which premiered sunday at the marc theater .\nthough gleason and michel continued to film each other throughout the rest of 2011 , setting up and shooting became more difficult as gleason ' s illness progressed , and the amount of footage pamphilon wanted to gather was too much for the couple to handle on their own . with pamphilon splitting time between seattle and new orleans , the decision was made to bring on a part - time videographer . that summer , 22 - year - old ty minton - small , just out of college , responded to a craigslist ad and prepared for his first assignment : recording the birth of rivers varisco gleason .\ni ' m biased , but i have to say that ' gleason ' will break your heart and make it more whole than ever before ,\nduplass said .\nit will kill you and resurrect you with new life . it ' s hard to exaggerate the beauty and impact of this film .\n( l -

page agreement reached at the beginning of their collaboration . gleason claimed that the release of any footage related to the project required his\nexplicit approval .\nthe filmmaker defended his actions , saying he ' d followed the agreement , that a mutually agreed upon mediator had approved the release , and that it was the\nright thing\nto do . ( yahoo ! sports reported at the time that the contract did not specifically prohibit either gleason or pamphilon from releasing audio or video prior to the completion of the film . )\nit was pamphilon , tweel says , who captured one of gleason ' s most devastating moments : the sight of michel crying on the banks of bayou st . john as gleason struggles to complete the last leg of their miniature\njazz fest triathlon ,\nfour months after his diagnosis .\nfor lee and minton - small , who ' d spent years caring for gleason , playing with rivers and helping michel around the house , gleason ' s gathering momentum came with mixed feelings . on the one hand , according to minton - small , it was exciting , after so many false starts , to see the film begin to crystallize . on the other , lee says , reconciling with new voices and viewpoints after being so close to the project was challenging .\n\u201cgleason\u201d centers on the former nfl player who revealed in 2011 that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis , also known as lou gehrig\u2019s disease . the disclosure came five years after gleason had memorably blocked a punt on the night the louisiana superdome reopened for the first time after hurricane katrina .\nby the time gleason entered post - production in march 2015 , the combination of gleason ' s worsening condition , the growing number of caretaking duties and the consistent presence of cameras had worn down this small\nentourage ,\nas michel calls it , until the idea of continuing seemed untenable .\nwith any luck the film will raise awareness for a horrendous disease , and it ' s well worth a watch for its honest portrayal of a man fighting back against tremendous adversity .\none night , while traveling with gleason and michel in peru , lee declined to film the former saints star being showered off after soiling himself , because he felt that doing so would have been\ncrossing some sort of line .\nminton - small also began to question whether it was appropriate to shoot footage of certain events .\nafter the film ended , there was silence . for michel , watching gleason was an\nout - of - body experience\n\u2014 nerve - wracking but ultimately cathartic . paul , on the other hand , was\ntaken aback\nby its raw , unflinching portrait of two people \u2014 husband and wife , patient and caretaker \u2014 facing the rapid advance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( als ) , with which gleason was diagnosed in 2011 , while raising their young son , rivers .\nthis is the best documentary i have ever watched . steve gleason is an inspiration and a hero . his wife michel is amazing too . wow !\nthe documentary chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring story of steve gleason , a gonzaga prep and washington state university alum who became a defensive back for the new orleans saints . gleason immortalized himself in team history in 2006 , when he blocked a punt the saint ' s first home game after hurricane katrina .\ngleason , who has relied on assistive technology known as augmentive / alternative communication ( aac ) since losing his ability to speak , needed only four words .\n\u201cgleason\u201d is incredibly frank about gleason\u2019s physical suffering and the toll his terrifyingly implacable physical deterioration takes on his marriage . while the director\u2019s vision never strays too far from the positive message that he and the gleasons doubtlessly wish to impart , the movie winds up being most effective at doing what cinema cannot avoid doing .\nwe had two guys pretty much living with us who would film any events we went to or any trips we went to ,\nvarisco said .\nand at the house , steve has a vision - he ' s got big vision - - and he would let them know what he wanted to film . . . . it became a part of our lives .\nit was the latest stop , but by no means the last one , on what has been a long , often difficult road for varisco , gleason and their little film that could . but as\ngleason\nprepares for a staged national rollout beginning july 29 , which is when it opens in new orleans , as well as in a handful of other select cities , including new york , los angeles , san francisco and seattle - - it ' s also one that has brought its own rewards .\nbut in january 2011 , when gleason called fujita from san francisco with the official diagnosis of als , the outlook was grim \u2014 so much so that fujita and former saints tight end eric johnson , both of whom reside in california , drove together to northern california to see gleason , taking him on a sunrise hike .\nhe film - making might not be particularly polished , but the subject matter of this documentary is wrenching . shortly after he retired from professional american football , steve gleason was diagnosed with als or motor neurone disease . this brutally candid film is partly an account of his response to the disease \u2013 he founded a charitable organisation to help other sufferers \u2013 and partly a collection of the messages he composed for the son who was conceived just after the diagnosis . the resulting movie is an unabashed tear - jerker that juggles themes such as religious faith , marital stress and the toilet - based indignities of the disease \u2013 the latter an earthy strand of humour as crucial for gleason and his family as it is for the audience .\nthe moment was the culmination of a process that had begun in october 2010 , when gleason , exhibiting the first symptoms of als . he decided to document his experiences in a series of video diaries . in time , the project evolved into a record for rivers , a fraught family album , a feature - length documentary and a sundance film festival selection , but at the time no one knew principal shooting on gleason had commenced \u2014 or that the tale of its making would be a compelling drama in its own right .\nit paid off . in january ,\ngleason\n- directed by clay tweel (\nmake believe ,\nfinders keepers\n) and featuring an original song by pearl jam ' s mike mccready - - made its debut at the prestigious sundance film festival . it was immediately embraced by those who saw it , with some declaring it an oscar contender .\ndespite the twists and turns of its long gestation , gleason is what gleason envisioned in october 2010 : a record , a document , of a family fighting through unimaginable circumstances to emerge , changed but closer than ever , on the other side . only now , audiences will be able to see that experience through their eyes .\nas lee and minton - small continued to collect new footage , gleason and michel entrusted culp and fujita with shepherding the film forward . in the coming months , the pair hashed out countless ideas over pizza and beer at culp ' s los angeles home , scrawling each one on whiteboard to see what stuck . they even formed a production company , dear rivers productions .\nif\ngleason\nmakes one thing clear , it ' s that living with als isn ' t easy . it ' s not easy for gleason , and it ' s not easy for varisco , who abruptly went from becoming her husband ' s travel partner on their globe - trotting adventure vacations to his full - time caretaker .\nhave you participated in a program or had a film in one of our festivals ? then you ' re part of our alumni community . learn about the on - going support and benefits we offer you !\nthe assembled moments recording gleason\u2019s physical deterioration become all the more moving when the film flashes back to him in more able days . similarly , a brief shot of an empty wheelchair , seeming to wait for its inevitable inhabitant , produces a shudder . in such instances , the movie goes beyond conventional ( but very worthy ) human interest concerns and offers something more rich and strange .\nalmost immediately after its sundance screening , the rights to\ngleason\nwere snapped up by amazon studios , which brought open road films on board to release it theatrically .\nwhen it gets down to it ,\ngleason\nis a difficult movie to describe , for the very reason that it functions so well on a number of levels .\n\u201cgleason\u201d is rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) for language , despite its family - friendly themes . running time : 1 hour 50 minutes .\ni would think it ' s rare for an independent , almost an art - house film , to be playing at theaters across the country ,\nfujita said .\nyou don ' t see films like this playing in green bay or kansas city or columbus , ohio , every day . amazon and open road want to make sure all those markets get a chance to see the film , which is great .\ngleason ' s intimate , often harrowing depiction of its subjects ' confrontation with als \u2014 and , at times , with each other \u2014 is the result of the kinship lee and minton - small forged with gleason , michel and rivers over the course of the next three years , during which the pair recorded more than 1 , 300 hours of footage .\nthe two had met when fujita joined the saints in the spring of 2006 , not long before gleason ' s blocked punt in the team ' s home opener against the atlanta falcons made him a hero of the who dat nation , and a symbol of the city ' s determination to come back from hurricane katrina and the levee failures . fujita remembers gleason ' s generosity , extending an invitation to see dave matthews band at the new orleans jazz & heritage festival , and his idiosyncratic charm , which comes through clearly in gleason .\nin a 2006 football game against the atlanta falcons , the new orleans saints safety steve gleason made a bold headlong leap that blocked a punt . the recovery of that ball led to a touchdown for the saints , and gleason and his team , representing the city that had been so terribly battered by hurricane katrina in 2005 , became national symbols of indomitability .\ni thought , ' oh my god , this is exactly what my uncle was experiencing in the early stages ,\nsays fujita , now one of gleason ' s producers .\nthat includes some moments that varisco admits to cringing over when she watches them onscreen today . but she also realizes that those moments are some of the film ' s most powerful and most honest , and therefore the most resonant .\nultimately , that ' s the main reason that\ngleason\n- culled from an astounding 1 , 300 hours of footage , according to fujita - - is as powerful as it is . the cameras are there during moments of triumph , such as the family ' s visit to denali national park in alaska . they ' re there for moments of heart - wrenching defeat as gleason ' s condition inevitably worsens . and they ' re there for moments of turmoil as gleason and varisco work through the relationship issues that are all but inevitable under such strain .\nthe films includes footage shot over four years of gleason\u2019s post -

indian cinema , but i just don ' t even know where to start . i ' ve heard of\nthe holy man\ndirector satyajit ray only because some of his songs were included on the soundtrack to\nthe darjeeling limited .\nstill , that fact , combined with the short run time , and this film ' s availability on hulu ' s criterion collection films seems as good as any place to start .\nbirinchi baba ( charuprakash ghosh ) is a round - faced guru who throws cookies into crowds and lets people touch his feet for good luck . he , and his dim - witted assistant ( robi ghosh ) are travelling via train , and their cabin - mate , gurupada mitter ( prasad mukherjee ) begs for help , as the death of his wife has left him distraught . the baba basically installs himself in gurupada ' s house , orating to ever - larger audiences , who are wooed by his tales of interacting with everyone from jesus to einstein . a few of the locals see through baba ' s act , and plot to drive him out of the town before he ruins his host financially .\none of the things that i found fascinating about\nthe holy man\nis that it wasn ' t off - putting at all . again , in all of my ignorance , i kept half - expecting a song - and - dance number to break out , but\nthe holy man\nwas more in line with some of akira kurosawa ' s lower - key work ( like parts of\nhigh and low\n) , or something like stanley kubrick ' s\nthe killing .\nthe visuals weren ' t fanciful ( other than being a glimpse into a completely different culture , which was fun ) , but\nthe holy man\nwas approached in a matter - of - fact , low - key manner , which felt very familiar to me ( i consider that a positive ) . the plot was very relatable , as well ; it ' s easy to understand how desperate , troubled people might fall for what appears to be the answer to their prayers , and the notion of using religion as a cloak for criminal ulterior motives is universal .\nthere were a lot of things that i liked about\nthe holy man .\nfirst , the technical aspects were all handled well , and the film is in great shape . i ' ve seen enough foreign films to know that sometimes you have to trade technical smoothness to get at something different ; no trade - off was required here . it looks like a film made in the ' 60s , not a low - budget indie film that was strung together . secondly , the acting was good all the way around , and charuprakash ghosh was really good as a charismatic holy con - man . he has a unique , expressive face , and a sense of flamboyance that befits someone putting on a show for the locals . the cast , on the whole , were enjoyable ( and represented an array of general types of people - it ' s not like a hollywood film , where everyone can appear to have arrived on - set directly from the same gym and same hair - stylists ) .\nthe holy man\nwas a comfortable introduction to satyajit ray ' s work , at the least . i wouldn ' t hesitate to watch another film by him ; perhaps a little research will yield what is considered his best handful of films - there ' s no point in dancing around the periphery of someone ' s creative output until you know whether or not you really dig the work . the plot was tight , and the short run - time made this really easy to get through ( i will sometimes hedge my bets with unknown material and choose whatever ' s shortest , just in case i really don ' t like it ) . i don ' t know where this films falls in ray ' s work , but you could do a lot worse than to spend roughly an hour taking in\nthe holy man .\na suitor ( satindra bhattacharya ) is suspicious of a holy man ' s ( charuprakash ghosh ) claims that he knows plato , leonardo da vinci and buddha .\nas a thief breaks into a middle class apartment of a young couple at one end of the city , a himalaya returned guru settles for a religious discourse at a business tycoon ' s bungalow the same night . as pada , the thief faces a crisis , swad gajananda swami by virtue of his magical powers mesmerizes his disciples and enjoys the best food , hospitality and other generous attention . the two incidents are too far fetched to be connected but fate has other things in store . its a question of putting up an act and sticking by it .\nsorry ! none of the critics have had a chance to review this movie yet .\nby using www . bookmyshow . com ( our website ) , you are fully accepting the privacy policy available at urltoken governing your access to bookmyshow and provision of services by bookmyshow to you . if you do not accept terms mentioned in the privacy policy , you must not share any of your personal information and immediately exit bookmyshow .\ncopyright 2018 \u00a9 bigtree entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved . the content and images used on this site are copyright protected and copyrights vests with the respective owners . the usage of the content and images on this website is intended to promote the works and no endorsement of the artist shall be implied . unauthorized use is prohibited and punishable by law .\nsubscribe to our free newsletters to be the first one to know about all things entertainment .\nthe phone number associated with your bms account has been verified via a different account . please reverify your phone number .\nyou are about to change your phone number for my wallet . verify otp to confirm\n\u201ci have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner , its agent , or the law . \u201d and \u201cthe information in this notification is accurate , and i am the owner , or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner , of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed . \u201d\nstep 2 . on receipt of your smart band , register and activate the band online through the link that will be emailed to your registered email id .\nstep 3 . arrive at the event and walk in without waiting in the queue .\nin case of any unavoidable circumstances , like an issue in receiving inventory from the concerned / taxation authority , you will have to pickup your smart bands from bookmyshow box office at the venue on the event day .\nin case of office address if courier person is not allowed inside than please note that bands might be delivered at reception or mail room .\non receipt of your entry band , register and activate the band online through the activation link that will be sent to you along with your band .\nin case of any unavoidable circumstances , like an issue in receiving inventory from the concerned / taxation authority , you will have to pickup your entry bands from bookmyshow box office at the venue on the event day .\ndue to some technical issues your address has not been updated . we request you to please try again .\nant -

evaluate his decision .\nray develops delicious irony through the fact that the screenwriter is researching the region in order to discover greater emotional verity ( \u201cyou must write what you know , \u201d he dully repeats ) but in doing so , comes face to face with a moment in his life when his emotional integrity was utterly compromised ( hence the title ) . given the similarity in names and occupations between filmmaker and protagonist , one wonders if this might be an open self - critique , a laying bare of ray\u2019s own grapplings with conscience .\nconfessional or not , it\u2019s a deeply felt and observantly rendered mood piece that pivots on setting , camera placement , actor positions , and an editing structure that incorporates flashbacks via emotional associations : roy\u2019s sleepless night in bed reminds him of his last conversation with karuna in his ( ironically designed ) three - cornered student apartment ; a jeep tour of the countryside reminds him of his first meeting with karuna on a public bus ; karuna\u2019s hand reminds him of a time when he pretended to read her palm . the psychological sophistication of the film\u2019s structure belies its simple story of \u201cboy meets girl , boy loses girl , \u201d a formula repeated by the jovial plantation owner to summarize the screenwriter\u2019s craft . ( ray includes several similarly self - reflexive notes , such as having the husband ask to appear as a character in roy\u2019s developing screenplay , but not as a villain , a sentiment ray upholds by emphasizing the plantation owner\u2019s intelligence and self - awareness despite his shortcomings . )\nthe flashback to roy\u2019s student room is the film\u2019s pivotal scene , thematically and plot - wise , in which he fails to act on his love for karuna , and it\u2019s a beautiful crescendo of silent intensity , beyond the couple\u2019s initial dialogue , to a moment of painful , dawning awareness . in the sweaty , cramped confines of the three - cornered room with traffic sounds increasingly audible offscreen , ray captures karuna\u2019s distressed face in the foreground with roy receded ( emotionally and physically ) in the background , emphasizing the moment in a way that imprints it on the mind of the viewer ; the scene hovers over the rest of the film .\nray so often composed his own scores , which added immeasurably to the atmosphere of his films , and kapurush is no exception ; the film is graced with a beautiful , unexpectedly bluesy saxophone piece that perfectly embellishes the film\u2019s low - key emotional tensions . a filmmaker much more diverse than is commonly assumed given the meager availability of his films in the west , ray\u2019s musical versatility should also come as no surprise .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\npwease hewp improve dis articwe by adding citations to rewiabwe sources . unsourced materiaw may be chawwenged and removed .\nafter de deaf of his wife , gurupada mitter ( prasad mukherjee ) , an advocate , has not been at peace . he and his daughter buchki ( gitawi roy ) , meet birinchi ( charuprakash ghosh ) . birinchi baba cwaims to be agewess . he tewws stories from de past ;

the adversary \u2013 set amid the upheaval and violence of 1970s kolkata , then in the grip of naxalite radicalism \u2013 was his retort . he draws attention to this with the hand - drawn figure of a gunman at the centre of the film\u2019s fractured title block . ray would often design a number of different posters for each film . one version for the adversary sees ray experimenting further with the logo , splintering it as a bullet would . photograph : bfi national archive\n: in addition to his beautiful woodcut illustrations for children\u2019s stories , ray also wrote and sketched his own detective and sci - fi tales . this adaptation of one of his own novels is told through the eyes of a six - year - old boy , and , continuing the idea he originated with his pather panchali poster , ray made sure the loud , playful lettering and drawings on the poster could have been his character\u2019s creations . photograph : bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate , kolkata"]}

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 -

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 - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\nchic 60 ' s japanese crime adventure romp , thats chocked full of funky pop art flourishes and groovy music . while on leave , a military photographer hondo ( akira kobayashi ) hooks up with a stewardess named yoriko ( chieko matsubar ) . whom happens to be on the underworlds radar because she likely knows the location of her late fathers dairy , he was involved with a huge gold theft years earlier . both hondo & yoriko get involved with a plot to retrieve the gold , and cross paths with corrupt government officials and a gang of go - 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 -

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 -

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 - heroes . increasingly incompetent authority figures . hell , even bond is an authority figure who thumbs his nose at the authority figures above him . all of these things , influencing and being influenced by one another \u2014 the results were beautiful , baffling , and bold . and no one wanted to be left out . though this mad , motley colored jumble of costumed villains , smart suited spies , and pop art sensibilities ( or lack of ) is generally regarded as the purview of europe , the uk , and the united states , it was hardly limited to those places . turkey adopted the jumble of styles and tropes with reckless abandon , and though their cinematic industry\u2019s commitment to saving cash by shooting in black and white meant they couldn\u2019t take full advantage of the eye - popping kaleidoscope of candy colors that defined the pop art look , they more than made up for it with endless energy , zest , insanity , and a hearty disregard for copyright and intellectual property . india , as well , embraced these sensibilities , albeit in movies that were largely inaccessible to outsiders who couldn\u2019t quite grasp the schizophrenic blend of melodrama , stony - faced patriotism , family drama , romance , and singing and dancing . one westerners did start to poke around in india\u2019s 1960s bond - mimicry output , they found quite a few gems , rough around the edges though they may have been , and an eye for garishly gorgeous over -

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 -

( hares are generally larger than rabbits and give birth out in the open , rather than in burrows . ) hares have long been associated with fecundity and spring friskiness . the phrases\nhare brained\nand\nmad as a march hare\ncomes from the excited behavior of hares during their spring mating season . and , like rabbits , hares are thought of as exceptionally fertile , giving birth to frequent large litters .\nthe video is a triumphant testimony of the goddess ' s attitude , and meadmore would project it onto a wall during his performances at the limbo lounge , a gay bar in la . years later , it was passed around by curious gay teenagers .\nall of a sudden , somebody grabbed that video and put it on youtube ,\nmeadmore says .\ni have no idea who did that .\nthen , meadmore ' s colleague , keith holland , recorded the goddess tap dancing . around 1985 , she could step out of her wheelchair and walk for brief periods . the video shows her wearing a pink bustier and twirling a matching umbrella , and after a few seconds , she lifts her feet and taps them on the ground . her taps grow faster and faster , until she dances across a cement pavement .\nshowrunner sera gamble insisted the scene was showing the reality of the rape after viewers expressed their shock at the graphic nature of it .\ni was watching a video yesterday when pollo del mar interviewed lady bunny and lady said rupaul had just re - released a song they were both in but ru cut her part out of the song . . . so yeah , the interview is from 7 months ago but it did seem kinda awkward . . . urltoken there it is , earlier in the interview she talks about how rpdr de - emphasizes performance , so yeah , not on board with the whole concept , but working witht rugirls on dqoc at the time . . .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nfor years , i assumed the goddess had died , because i hadn ' t seen a new video of her since high school . then , this spring , i learned she was alive . she ' s spent the past decade in an assisted living facility in inglewood , california , near lax , where her only visitors are a few androgynous young men that she calls her\nsons .\none of her sons\u2014hunter , a 23 - year - old usc film student who identifies as as\nheterosexual , [ but ] i just see no issue in getting wild\n\u2014reached out to me to ask if i would record the goddess ' s story . i had been trying to figure out her full biography for years , so i agreed .\nhunter wore bell bottoms and a velvet jacket , and the goddess licked her lips when she saw him .

hop musical \u201chamilton , \u201d which has just opened on broadway after a smash run at the public , is about many things , among them men : how they fight , write , rule , and duel . there\u2019s some strange comfort , in this age of washington gridlock , in seeing the birth of the nation recast as a series of rap battles straight out of \u201c8 mile , \u201d with hamilton , jefferson , and burr ' s egos clashing as sharply as their ideals . it\u2019s fitting that the musical opened on the same night as\n\u201cit\u2019s so refreshing to spend time with all of these women , \u201d witherspoon added , giving a nod to her cast for the \u201ccollective performance , \u201d going as far to say , \u201ci really feel more strongly than anything i\u2019ve ever done , and this is the greatest ensemble experience i\u2019ve ever had . \u201d\nbased on liane moriarty\u2019s 2014 novel of the same name , witherspoon and kidman \u2014 who both serve as executive producers and star in the seven - part limited series \u2014 optioned the book rights through their separate production companies . the a - list duo became invested in the story because of its opportunity to put many diverse women on the screen .\nfor dern , she was \u201cblessed to play different , complicated characters\u201d in a project with five strong , vulnerable female characters . \u201cthey spoke to the brokeness of being victimized , \u201d she adds . \u201cit was speaking to being true to yourself and speaking your voice . \u201d\nyusuf : exactly . when people fear you they do the bare minimum and avoid you . but when they love you they freely give . you should want your wife and children to love you not fear you . why should you be a dictator in the home you live daily till you die ? why should your wife despise you and struggle to tolerate you just because you have the title of husband ? why should your children walk away each time you enter the house ? why should the relationship between you and your family suffer just because you want to instill fear ? forcing people to fear you is a sign of low self - 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 -

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 -

like . the temptation when programming beats and even basslines is to input notes via step - time , or to immediately reach for quantization to eradicate any sense of natural timing . however , by recording in real time and holding back on ironing out timing inadequacies , you can bring a much more personal sense of groove to your tracks .\nthis is the person or force that creates conflict for the main character in a literary work .\nthis is the use of words in a work that paints a mental picture for the reader .\na : click here for door -

second measure with 8 steps ( 4 steps / second ) could be stretched into a 24 - second measure with 144 steps ( 6 steps / second ) . the longer time span might yield more interesting results , but it might also obscure the relationship between the modified track and the original track .\nlove , love , love this movie ! great for kids and adults . i would highly recommend as a good family movie .\nstraight beats and bass : this is worth bearing in mind if you ' re looking to bring swing to your productions . in this example , you can hear a programmed beat pattern playing against a bassline . for now , both parts are straight , using 1 / 16 note quantization to keep everything in strict time .\nnow men without hats are at last coming to australia , as part of nostalgia concert totally \u201980s . doroschuk will share the stage with such ageing stars as limahl , martika , katrina and the waves , berlin , stacey q and paul lukakis , with australian acts real life and wa wa nee joining the bill . time out spoke to him on the phone to his home on vancouver island .\nthere are some limitations to the app , most prominent of which is its restriction to monophonic melodies ( one note at a time ) , meaning that harmonies are out of the question . the accuracy of the software also remains to be seen and the analysis of the recordings is performed in the cloud , meaning that you ' ll need a decent internet connection to take advantage of the app .\nwhere can he go ? that\u2019s one question that haunts this elusive and gentle film . another is : how did he get here ? perhaps that\u2019s what he\u2019s trying to figure out when he stares off into space . an adult daughter ( jena malone ) , who works in a bar , serves as a reminder \u2014 sometimes agonizing , sometimes consoling \u2014 of a different life , when george had a job , a family and a home . as the movie\u2019s title suggests , he has lost track of the chronology that connects that past and his uprooted present . while \u201ctime out of mind\u201d traces a few months in his life , from winter to spring , you can\u2019t always tell how much time has passed from one scene to the next . a few minutes ? a week ? what\u2019s the difference ?\nwith our knowledge of the song ' s tempo , beats , and measures , we can start bringing our symbolic rhythms into audio -

like the sugar bomb , eating glue , cannibalism , the ladoga survival trail and more but for someone wishing to learn about leningrad , it ' s too fast and we can ' t learn enough ; the story is focus

.\na war drama set during the nazi invasion of the soviet union in june 1941 , in which soviet troops held on to a border stronghold for nine days .\ni agree with you the british journalist line is unconvincing and it twists a russian story itself . on my opinion , this production was created to intend on western media market too , so the filmmakers took a couple of western stars and write the

dresden towards the end of world war 2 .\ngood movie and a sad one . the germans have virtually surrounded leningrad and are slowly starving the city residents to death . there are scenes of great suffering among the residents of the city , including a case of cannibalism . i always wondered what exactly happened at leningrad and now i know . we always hear about the great victory of the soviets at stalingrad , but not much of anything about the other cities like leningrad and moscow . the film is also a love story between two foreign war correspondents in leningrad . and it ' s a story about the love of a family for each of its members and even about friendship that becomes love for the suffering children of the family . some of the everyday people of leningrad become real heroes when they stand up for right against wrong , while many others around them are engaging in theft and other criminal acts . the film kept my interest throughout and i liked every bit of it .

the expectation that it was an actual movie . this is not a movie . it is a hodgepodge of scenes of which 60 % were intended to be in the final cut , 40 % were intended to be left on the editing room

imdb\u2019s plot description , written by the director , make it seem really over the top romantic . i have trouble believing all these people were worried about romance when they were starving to death . if the plot summary turns out to be historically accurate , these westerners must have seemed very self\u2014involved and silly to the leningrad citizens .\n* keeping the thread alive * i woke up in the middle of the night and this movie was playing on netflix . i missed some of the film and the sound was muted but i have to say i liked the film . i thought it touched on the lives of people during a tragic time of war ( the images of the people dragging the wrapped up bodies \u2013 chilling ) and yes , i took it as a love story with katie choosing to return to leningrad with nina . the relationship confirmed by the scenes of them celebrating the end of the conflict and parker visiting their side - by - side graves at the end .\nleningrad , two weeks later . the city continues to be shelled and bombed . an official tells his men that foreign reporters are coming and there are to be no bread lines that they can see . among the men is sgt . tsvetkova .\ngreat film loved it . tells of the struggle of the russian people in leningrad . it ' s so good that once it watched it and put it in with the rest of my dvd ' s i realised it was my second copy .\nwalter flies over leningrad . it ' s his turn to dive down and strafe the streets . walter flies straight for the russian anti - aircraft gun . the gun fires and hits walter ' s plane - - suicide by anti - aircraft gun .\ntsvetkova returns alive . only eight of the skiers returned to leningrad . now the soviets are trying to evacuate the skiers to safety . then the trucks will return with food supplies . the trucks are ready to pull out , but tsvetkova says she must get her family . kate grabs the last of their food and tells the kids they are going to get on one of those trucks . the problem is that everyone is so weak that they can ' t get outside .\nas far as i am aware it\u2019s \u2018inspired by true events\u2019 . obviously the siege of leningrad actually took place and i believe there was a british journalist that survived it and wrote about it , but i imagine a few liberties have been made for the film .\nbrought out in a bus , kate takes photographs of the dead german faces . when asked , she says she is not freaked out because she worked on the crime beat for two years and saw lots of dead bodies .\nkate ' s colleague informs the russians that kate is still alive and in leningrad . he now wants to fly back to leningrad to get her , but the official tells him to go catch a flight out - - he will take care of kate . kate stands outside her apartment building . someone grabs her food coupons . she tries to chase after the thief , but falls over a raised piece of earth . she sees a man cutting off the leg of a dead person to engage in cannibalism in order to survive .\nan official explains the desperate food situation for the residents and soldiers of leningrad . the last food will run out in nine days . stalin is shocked by the low number of days , but resigns himself to it saying :\nnine days it is then .\nthe actual proper original title of this movie is simply leningrad . why could they not have just left it alone ? it depicts the hardship of leningrad at the time quite accurately . my main disappointment with this movie was that mira sorvino ' a voice was dubbed by a british voiceover actress - and this was done in an obvious way , thus ruining the actress ' s performance . it would have been better had they just gotten an english actress in the first place . apart from that it was a credible portrayal of the time .\nit\u2019s a shame that financial reasons sometimes impact movies negatively . i was just reading where george clooney was forcced into \u201cthe thin red line\u201d because the studio insisted on a big name star . thus we get the ridiculous closing scene .\nwhy invent a story like that when there was such a lot of material at hand ? accounts of eye witnesses , for example . in the interview buravsky mentions the famous russian composer shostakovich who was in leningrad during the siege where he composed his 7th symphony . wouldn\u2019t that have been a great story ? or what he said about stalin\u2026 apparently he could have freed leningrad much earlier but decided against it . he deliberately let them starve as leningrad , the former st . petersburg , the home of the tsars was the center of the intelligentsia and the arts . in doing so he could get rid of people who were undesirable in his regime\u2026 a dictator like stalin was certainly not fond of intellectuals and artists or other people who were used to thinking for themselves . that would have been a great story as well .\ni could go on , but i don\u2019t think it\u2019s worth it . this is the sort of film that is best forgotten . it had a lot going for it . ok , so mira sorvino and gabriel byrne don\u2019t have spotless cv\u2019s , but they\u2019ve got talent and the production team clearly know how to dress and shoot a film . unfortunately , any potential the film had is flushed down the toilet on a wave of half - arsed filmmaking and embarrassingly bad performances .\nlet\u2019s just have a peak at some other reviews though before i start\u2026 huh , none at all . surely it\u2019s hit the festivals if it didn\u2019t get a proper cinema release\u2026 hmmm , not really . straight to dvd then , ok , let\u2019s give it a chance . hang on , made in 2007 , yet no one\u2019s seen or released it yet . alarm bells ringing , but i\u2019m not a snob , let\u2019s do these struggling filmmakers a favour , let\u2019s put it on .\nnow the civilian replacements ( businessmen , workers , old men - - it ' s quite the collection of different men ) are brought over . lt . gorkin is shocked at the low caliber of\nsoldiers\nhe has been sent . he yells at sgt . tsvetkova saying that he did not ask for professors and students ! the sergeant shoots back that he is to take his men and attack . the lieutenant responds :\nshut your mouth , you snot - nose brat !\nshe in turn grabs her pistol and places the barrel up to his neck saying :\ni have my orders too , lieutenant .\ngorkin pushes the pistol away and goes to work .\ni didn ' t hear about this being released in the united states , so i don ' t know if it\u2019s failed to find a distributor , or is a foreign\u2014language film . sorvino studied languages in college and can speak chinese , but i don ' t know about russian . i also don ' t know that byrne speaks russian either . perhaps they were dubbed into the russian dvd version released in february 2007 and american viewers will just have to wait . in the mean time , here\u2019s a really good book on the leningrad siege :\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 .\ntsvetkova gives kate a typewriter so she can write her reports . the two women drink some vodka , listen to music and dance . tsvetkova asks kate for advice about men . after that , she tells kate that none of them are going to get out of leningrad alive . the blockade will never end .\nbut if you look with the eye of the human drama and forget the cinematography , history , quick details , and embrasse davis ' combat to keep those she cared about and her sacrifice knowing it is based on a true story , then you can be touched .\nan opera singer , anastasia andreevna , owns the house where kate is staying . her servant tells her that the store refused their coupons today and the only thing she could get on the black market was an onion . the cost of the onion was two fancy earrings .\nseptember , 1941 , russia , three months into the war . leningrad suburbs . a couple of army trucks are trying to use the muddy road on a rainy day , while a man and woman up front yell at the fleeing refugees to move out of the way and let the army vehicles pass . the trucks stop and men with rifles jump out of the back of the vehicles . the men are brought to the trenches where fierce fighting is going on . the trenches are not deep enough to provide good protection from the bullets of the enemy . the lady yelling for people to get out of the way speaks with lt . gorkin . she tells him she is sgt . tsvetkova and she brings him the new orders . the lieutenant asks if they have run out of men and are now sending women to fight ? the sergeant explains that the messenger was killed .\ni would say though that i thought olga sutulova ( nina ) was great ! she is actually the character that connects the viewer to the feeling of the people in leningrad during that difficult time . olga was just excellent which surprised me that she was in a film called the arena , some low budget rated r flick .\ni\u2019ve never witnessed a post get so many random comments . i\u2019ve wondered if many of these folks leaving comments are people who are related to this film in some way ( worked on it , knew somebody who did , etc . ) . it brings some very , very strange responses .\nin 1941 the german invasion of russia leads to the siege of leningrad , a two year long military campaign designed to literally starve the city . in the midst of the suffering an english newspaper reporter finds herself trapped , unbeknownst to her american reporter boyfriend , between the german guns and the soviet security system that cannot admit it erred in reporting her dead .\nkate sits on a bench outside and has a delusion that phil is there telling her to get on the airplane . a little later she has more delusions . she sees sonia still alive and calling to her . as she slowly walks down a street a man who has a car sees her and recognizes her . it is the journalist korneyev that was picking up souvenirs when a bomb went off . somehow , he , like kate , survived . he tells her to get in the car . there is a plane she can get on with him . kate gets in and they drive by her apartment building . she tells the driver to stop . kate gets out of the car . her colleague begs her to get back in the car , but she goes to get the children . she is so weak that she can ' t climb the stairs . her colleague has to drive away in order to make the plane .\nthe german planes arrive over leningrad and start doing their damage . at the same time planes drop bombs in the area of the bus . the russians try to get all the correspondents back on the bus , but kate is delayed as she yells at a reporter named korneyev who is busy grabbing german war souvenirs , to stop it and get to the bus . it ' s too late , kate is caught out in the open and as the bombs start landing she has to run away from the bus . she yells to her colleague to get away from the wreckage , but it ' s too late . a bomb lands near him and blows him away from the wreckage .\nglad i didn ' t come here first or we ' d have missed a really good film . ok the production was more ' made for tv ' than spielberg \u2013 but so what \u2013 it was a genuinely engaging and rewarding watch \u2013 based on an individual ' s true story that was certainly worth telling .\nlol . for real \u2013 what is so hard to understand here for these people ? never have i witnessed such bizarre backlash to one of r3 ' s reviews \u2013 almost as if it is the director of the film himself coming on every once in a while under a different name to defend his own movie .\nannual siege of leningrad commemoration day , 1965 . a white - haired phil and sima walk along the sidewalk . yura rushes up to them and greets sima and then introduces himself to phil . phil is a little shocked because he did not think yura had survived . they go to a memorial wall where they see the name of tsvetkova nina konstantinovna , 1915 - 1943 .\nstill , for people who have never heard or are not very familiar with the siege of leningrad this movie is a good opportunity to learn something about it . and it is watchable . the russian cast is very good , the pictures are very nice but all in all it\u2019s a lost opportunity for something that could have been better than average . 3 . 5 / 5\nyou can ' t review a film on the strength of it ' s source material though . yes it was an horrific event , but it ' s not like this film uncovered the facts , they ' re quite well known these days and i imagine there are several other films and documentaries that better handle them .\ni was born in leningrad and have several grandparents who experienced this seige . i was dissappointed that the excellent actors who were in this movie , including several russian actors , were not given a chance to fully shine in their roles . this movie could have been great for the depiction of this event but failed as the director does not appear to want to make this a great work .\nif it is based on a \u201ctrue story , \u201d it\u2019s a story worth telling , but this film chops it up in too many short clips . the plot ends up seeming highly improbable . nina\u2019s motivation for saving kate is never made clear . the film is definitely lacking in continuity . i agree that olga sutulova gave a stand - out performance , while mira sorvino seemed out of her depth . trying to tell the personal story within the context of the war seemed to be too much for the director to handle . even so , this film adds to an understanding of what the people of leningrad endured . the image that will stay with me is of people slowly pulling sleds holding the wrapped bodies of their dead .\nthanks for your comment , alexander . it\u2019s disappointing he gave in to western tastes or marketing strategies . anything related to leningrad is so interesting in itself that i don\u2019t know why it had to be twisted like this . i\u2019m not even sure it was a success in western cinemas at all . thanks for mentioning blokada . i\u2019ve heard of it but forgot about it . i\u2019m going to look for it .\ni ' m perfectly open to criticism , my negative replies are only aimed at idiotic comments like robin west ' s where no attempt is made to qualify their statements . if you like the film , good on you , but i ' ll only show interest if you give me a decent reason . mike for instance made some interesting comments .\nrobin , write something more substantial please . why is the reviewer a moron ? the review tackles several aspects of the film and dissects them properly . how about an opinion rather than a cowardly cheap shot . oh right , you probably have no idea how to put together a grammatically correct paragraph on anything . there are services for people like you .\nfulfilment by amazon ( fba ) is a service amazon offers sellers that lets them store their products in amazon ' s warehouses , and amazon directly does the picking , packing , shipping and customer service on these items . something amazon hopes you ' ll especially enjoy : fba items are eligible for and for amazon prime just as if they were amazon items .\non the surface it looks promising , the production design is impressive enough and it\u2019s quite well shot . the opening scene is even pretty good if a little overwrought , where we witness the final stand between the germans and the remaining russian forces surrounding the city . unfortunately , the glossy visuals and the hollywood cast rub shoulders with dialogue , special effects and ott music straight out of a cheap tv movie . in fact , some comments on imdb suggest that this could be a trimmed down version of a russian tv miniseries . a few plot strands feel too brief too , which back up this theory . tv roots are no excuse for poor quality though , as some of the outstanding work coming from the hbo stables will prove .\nthanks for the more detailed comments mike , rather than the fan - boy insults that have come in the past . however , i want to try and clear this up once and for all . watch the scene below starting at 0 . 40 with the young boy and mira sorvino . here is proof of some of the shoddy performances i ' m talking about . yes the film looks pretty , the subject matter is powerful and granted , most of the native cast do a fairly decent job , but anyone speaking english is embarrassing and that kid grates on me so much it ' s untrue . those of you who i think i ' m being harsh on a child performance should bear in mind that he ' s in a hell of a lot of the film .\ni agree with what david said it being half baked although film was not the best , it wasn\u2019t the worst either there are alot of good this about it , it had potential for me it really got the look and the feel of leningrad during that time . the biggest problem i had with it only problem i have with it was mira sovino\u2019s acting ! its just horrible accompanied by her ridiculous , obvious english accent ! you just cant feel her characters desperation\ni agree with what david said it being half baked although film was not the best , it wasn\u2019t the worst either there are alot of good this about it , it had potential for me it really got the look and the feel of leningrad during that time . the biggest problem i had with it only problem i have with it was mira sovino\u2019s acting ! its just horrible accompanied by her ridiculous , obvious fake english accent ! you just cant feel her characters desperation\nthe people are slowly starving because there is so little to eat . the little chess playing boy , yura , just laid on the couch the whole day and didn ' t redeem his food coupons . his mother gives his sister three slices of bread , but yura only one . maybe she thinks yura is going to die soon . kate goes to his room and gives him a piece of chocolate .\ndavid \u2013 i can understand and agree with much of what i think you\u2019re saying \u2013 hammy acting by the kid \u2013 sort of trite scenes like when the policewoman puts on lipstick and asks the guy to kiss her hoping to experience the rather remarkable description from the blonde about making love with the one you love ( which by the way i thought was a very risky , potentially cloying scene but that nonetheless i thought rather poetic ) .\nnow tsvetkova ' s boss finds out about the white general being the father of kate davis . he trips tsvetkova walking in the snow and she plops down on a heap of snow . he tells her what he found out and says that there is somebody hiding the woman , probably out of ignorance . but now that everyone knows , anyone harboring this kate davis will be a crime against the people . he walks away from tsvetkova .\nin my opinion the film is worth watching , though it is true that you can find now and then the usual flaws of international productions . it seems to me that they have changed the script to fit the international cast in it . nonetheless , the dramatism and the hardships od life in leningrad are accurately portrayed . i don\u2019t find the story of the children cheesy at all if you think that 1\u20195 million people died there ( though it was a bit of a cliche that the kid was a chess master\u2026 )\nthe plot tries to present the story of kate , a british journalist who is inadvertently trapped in leningrad during the infamous seige of world war ii . ideally , the film would be about the atrocities of war , the will of the human spirit , and the connections forged between people who face life - threatening adversity . but this is not at all what happens . weaving and interrupting kate\u2019s tale of struggle is a bunch of two minute side stories that leave the overall pace of the movie alternating between extremely pedantic and choppy .\nthe boss asks tsvetkova to put her gun and gun belt on the table . he then asks her where is the correspondent ? tsvetkova refuses to answer because she is afraid that the boss will just kill kate . she finally says that the englishwoman is still in the side car of the motorcycle . when they see the motorcycle , kate is not there . tsvetkova says that she must have run away . the boss warns tsvetkova that she is playing with fire . tsvetkova goes home and talks with kate .\nthe thread that never dies , right david ? i read these comments before watching the movie and my expectations were pretty low . i think the problem with this film is that its rich visually with a director of photography who has talent , but everything underneath it reminds me of a cheap made for tv movie . the profound subject matter adds some credibility to ones overall viewing experience but it in the end the visuals and the historical importance can\u2019t rescue it . it didn\u2019t work on so many levels except for the cinematography .\nagree 100 % with the reviewer . the film lacked continuity , scenes were disjointed , there was a weird contrast between the violent drama of the action scenes and the woodenness of the people scenes . i have read a lot about the war on the eastern front and spoken to many who fought there , and felt it deserved better treatment than this . more information could have been built into the film to give the viewer more history , for example , maps and troop strengths , but so many opportunities were missed . a woeful effort .\nkate is still alive . she must have fallen into a bomb crater . she sees a truck coming , rushes out to the road and collapses . the truck just stops in front of the body in the road . meanwhile , phil hears the announcement that all foreign correspondents must get on the plane now because they have to get to moscow before dawn . . the truck that picked up kate is filled with russian peasants . they are shocked when kate speaks in english . one woman tells the others that this girl is not russian .\na bomb drops near tsvetkova and a loud group of protestors protesting that the bread rations have been cut once again . the people think that it is not a bomb , but something sent to them by the germans . they want to go over and look at it . tsvetkova tries to hold them back , but they just get closer and closer . tsvetkova says it ' s a bomb on a time delay . the people want to find out for themselves . all of a sudden the bomb goes off killing quite a few people .\nmoscow , hotel savoy . a band and a singer perform for a large group of dancers at the hotel savoy . among the dancers are phillip parker , a foreign correspondent , and kate davis , also a foreign correspondent by for right now having to be the telegraph operator . kate thinks she is going to get to go to the front with phillip , but he tells her he tried , but there ' s just no way she can go to the front . this makes kate mad and she stops dancing with phillip saying that she forgot about her real dancing partner . her parting shot is that she will see phil in leningrad .\ni didn\u2019t like the movie ( i had a feeling it was half baked ) but i would disagree with \u201cjoe\u201d - if you would have remembered some history of ww2 you would have realize that nina\u2019s actions in the opening sequence were nothing but an act of desperate humanity ( sort of like the kamikaze ) . that is if leningrad were taken by the nazi much more civilians would die and suffer . ( after all \u201coperation barbarossa\u201d was only the means for setting a so called \u201cnew order\u201d . to do this heinrich himmler , head of the ss , was assigned to implement the enslavement , expulsion , and extermination of slavic population ) . p . s . sorry \u2013 my english is still not good\nagree with your comments . i have been trying to pinpoint some of the events in the firm , e . g . the apparent transport ( for approved persons ) from st petersburg to ? ? ? . if it was from st petersburg to moscow , there was a problem of passing through nazi occupied territory . if it was via finland , this would be impossible , as finland was allied to the axis . and if american diplomatic privilege was involved , all the action would have had to take place between august and december , when pearl harbor brought the americans into the war . i was around at the time , more personally involve with the nazi blitz on the uk .\ni bought this dvd purely ' on spec ' as a result of a long interest in the russian front . basically i buy anything connected with that subject which looks even vaguely interesting and is not over - priced . in this case i was pleasantly surprised . the cover of the dvd does not do the film any justice at all with what seem to be american planes strafing the hapless city . what type of aircraft they are , or to which side they belong cannot be determined , but surely a better jacket could have been designed . that being said this is a very worthwhile human interest story of a young woman caught up in possibly the worst siege in modern history after returning to russia , the land of her forbears , as a journalist just before the beginning of the war only to find that she is far from welcome in the first place .\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 .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nthe story of the final seven months in the life of german field marshal erwin rommel .\ngreat patriotic war , early 1940s . after barely surviving a battle with a mysterious , ghostly - white tiger tank , red army sergeant ivan naydenov becomes obsessed with its destruction .\nthe story follows a group of german soldiers , from their italian r & r ; in the summer of 1942 to the frozen steppes of soviet russia and ending with the battle for stalingrad .\na group of russian soldiers fight to hold a strategic building in their devastated city against a ruthless german army , and in the process become deeply connected to two russian women who have been living there .\nduring ww2 the russian army sent a special group named\nzvezda\nto fight the nazis in their backyard .\namerican soldiers lost behind enemy lines during the wwii make a horrific discovery : hitler has a super bomb in development . against all odds , they set out to find the scientist in charge of the program who is looking to defect .\n42 of 55 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ?

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 -

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 -

or of his defense of booth\u2019s implied author , revisioned as detached from booth\u2019s ethical agenda . but it is also part of seymour\u2019s openness to intellectual exchange that he good naturedly enters into debate with theorists who are hostile to the project of narratology\u2014and in reading his replies to , say , \u201ccontextualist\u201d or deconstructivist attacks on the field , one appreciates how seymour gives the best account he can of what these critiques might be , even as he delineates their limits and finds new ways to reiterate the value of structuralist narratology .\nprofessor chatman received many awards and honors in his long career , including the wayne c . booth lifetime achievement award from the narrative society , as well as fulbright and guggenheim fellowships .\na celebration of the life of seymour benjamin chatman took place february 12 , 2016 in the morrison library on the berkeley campus . speakers included his former students , friends , and colleagues : emeritus professor of psychology and linguistics ;

'\nseymour has , happily , worked out many of his ideas through his active participation in the narrative society . he was a plenary speaker at the first official narrative conference in 1986 and appeared in the pages of the first issue of narrative . in 2003 , he helped organize the annual conference at berkeley . he has been in between and beyond a regular contributor to the society and to its journal . always moving forward , seymour\u2019s recent essay \u201cbackwards , \u201d an investigation of the narrative structure of reverse chronology narratives , appeared in narrative in 2009 .\nchatman ' s study is the only complete account of antonioni ' s work available in english . its novel visual approach to the films while attract not only film scholars but also readers interested in painting and architecture\u2014both important elements of antonioni ' s work .\none of these forms of narration is free direct speech , which is an interior monologue . this form of narration is frequently used in pride and prejudice , and chatman explains the critical features of interior monologues in five bullet points : ( p . 182 - 183 )\ncornell university press , united states , 1980 . paperback . condition : new . revised ed . . language : english . brand new book . for the specialist in the study of narrative structure , this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story - whatever the medium . chatman , whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist , divides his subject into the what of the narrative ( story ) and the way ( discourse ) . chatman s command of his material is impressive . - library journal .\nseymour enjoyed a long teaching career in the department of rhetoric and continued to teach as a professor in the graduate school for a decade after his retirement in 1993 . reading narrative fiction ( macmillan 1993 ) detailed his teaching methods and made the study of narrative accessible to a broader audience of teachers and readers . pedagogic concerns were at the center of all his work . for seymour , the end of all the high theory was the classroom where he taught students how to read , how to take pleasure in the discovery of story and narrative strategies through analysis of small - scale and large - scale effects of language and textual meaning .\nthe latter part of this chapter discusses macroscopic plot structures . chatman argues that to form characterization of narrative forms , it is necessary to understand cultural codes , among other things . without understanding these , typologies of narratives ( for instance , propp ) must be narrow and confined to particular domains .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n\u2015gerald prince , mln\nthe evolution of the speech department into the present - day department of rhetoric with its emphasis on discourse theory and practice in many ways paralleled the intellectual trajectory of seymour\u2019s scholarly career during the nineteen sixties and seventies . although he was perhaps less involved in the administrative matters of creating a new department than in substantive intellectual ones , his role in creating vibrant , interdisciplinary fields cannot be underestimated . seymour chatman\u2019s international standing as a leading literary theorist and narratologist drew graduate students interested in newly emerging continental structuralist approaches , as well as visiting critical theorists and filmmakers . his teaching and scholarly interests eventually led to a program in film and to the current department of film and media , and certainly also contributed to the genesis of a program in critical theory . he pioneered the study of film at berkeley with his successful course \u201cnovel into film\u201d and served as faculty advisor to berkeley\u2019s first doctoral students in film , many of whom went on to establish influential film studies journals and programs at american and european universities .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n- - gerald prince , mln\nseymour\u2019s international prominence brought him many honors and awards\u2013\u2013including two fulbrights , a guggenheim fellowship , five neh fellowships , a rockefeller grant , an irex travelling fellowship to poland and russia , guest professorships at the university of zurich and the university of bologna where he was plenary lecturer at the alma mater sudiorum saecularia nona in october 1988 for the 900 th anniversary , and the university of melbourne 1991 where he was a pacific rim exchange professor .\nseymour was the editor and translator of literary style : a symposium \u2013\u2013a controversial 1971 volume of essays from an international symposium that continued an intellectual exchange begun at the 1960 indiana university conference on \u201cstyle in language . \u201d seymour conceived of the meeting and organized the event that took place in 1969 in bellagio , italy , at the rockefeller foundation\u2019s villa serbelloni . among the linguists and literary critics he invited to participate in the conversation were roman jakobson , josephine miles , pierre guiraud , rene wellek , w . k . wimsatt , jean starobinski , steven ullman , tzvetan todorov , ivan fonagy , paul zumthor , ruqaiya hasan , and roland barthes . further breakthrough symposia followed , including approaches to poetics of the 1973 english institute ; the proceedings of the first international congress on semiotics , edited with umberto eco ; and in 1981 , on narrative , a special issue of critical inquiry .\nthe process of going through a narrative and extrapolating a world from it is something chatman calls \u201creading out\u201d . this is discussed in relation to a . c . bradley ( who focused on shakespeare ) and open trait - analysis . this is the sort of thing i am doing with pride and prejudice now . this sort of analysis though has been broadly criticized for neglecting the surface features , the texture of language .\nthis book offers , for me , the most understandable model of a narrative i ' ve read so far . chatman offers helpful concepts for analyzing both written and film narratives . he tries to create a synthesis of all narrative theory before his book , and he does a very good job . instead of getting lost in a collection of different approaches , you actually find yourself connecting them all , seeing where they fit together . among all the books on narratology and narrative analysis i ' ve read , this is the one most helpful not only for analyzing film narratives but also written narratives ( although i would always recommend you also read\nnarratology : an introduction\n,\nnarrative fiction\nand perhaps bordwell and thompson ' s\nfilm art : an introduction\n, if you want to focus especially on films ) . this book and the way chatman dissects the narrative are also interesting for people more interested in writing than in analysis : i believe the parts chatman splits the narrative into resemble very closely those writers use in putting one together . so this book may actually help writers gain new insights into what they are doing instinctively . first and foremost , however , it is a very useful book for the student and scholar of literature .\nwhere an event is something that occurs in time , an existent is something that occurs in space . in cinematic narratives , this is more literal : existents are things that show up on screen and take up space on the screen . chatman gives five qualities for these : ( p . 97 - 98 ) these are ostensibly matters of presentation , but it is still a matter of the material content of the film itself .\nchatman describes extensively the filmic devices for developing cuts and scenes , and explains these in relation to the terms of narrative sequence . these have to do with the role of time in events , which have flow of rhythms and cycles . using pride and prejudice as an example , he explains how the narration is broken into phases of scene ( action ) and description . rhythm and flow are good to think about from the perspective of adaptation , because these carry the dramatic mood and experience of the narrative .\nchatman opens by comparing theory and poetics . poetics accounts for the structure of storytelling , which accounts for how to analyze form , but asks more questions than it answers . poetics is not concerned with \u201cwhat makes macbeth great ? \u201d but rather \u201cwhat makes macbeth a tragedy ? \u201d russian formalism is an instance of poetics , but it lacks the power to address more complex and modern narratives . literary theory is about the nature of literature . it is not criticism . it is about explaining what the possibilities are . instead of asking what the author should or should not do , it asks \u201cwhat can we say about the way structures like narratives organize themselves ? that question raises subsidiary ones : what are the ways we recognize the presence or absence of a narrator ? what is plot ? character ? setting ? point of view ? \u201d ( p . 19 ) these questions are chatman\u2019s goals to explore . to do this , he breaks down narrative into components : narrative is composed of story and discourse , and the story is made of events and existents . this extends loosely from aristotle .\nmuch study in narratology places character subordinate to plot , only existing to serve the plot\u2019s needs . however , the reader is free to interpret and extend the idea of the character and ask questions about them . models of characters that are merely functional are closed , where the characters cannot be extended outside the narrative space . in theories that close characters , readers are forbidden from attempting to think about characters outside of the plot . an example that characterizes this stand is o . b . hardison , who argues that characters ( specifically in the case of shakespeare ) are simply dramatic figures and their lives and personalities are restricted to the words on the page . chatman is horrified by this position and argues that it is absurd , and the reader must be free to imagine and extend the personalities , and ask questions about the characters beyond the text . an interesting element of this conflict is that the closed model of characters is intrinsically hostile to not only adaptations , but the idea that the text may belong to anyone other than the author . if the characters cannot live outside of the text , then they are simply puppets of the author , controllable by the author alone . \u00e2 chatman explains that to understand a character , it must be interpreted and reconstructed . there is always more to interpret of characters .\nchatman more elements of the interior monologue ( as stream of consciousness , or free indirect speech ) , and again relates it to pride and prejudice . elizabeth\u2019s thoughts after lady catherine leaves are revealed to us , to indicate her emotional state . chatman explains that the key reason why we are privy to this thought is as a clear narrative action . elizabeth\u2019s internal mind is a reflection of her character , and the flow of thoughts and moods are very controlled and logical . narratively , this moment is highly significant , and the moment reveals her emotions and state : perplexed , angry , and strangely hopeful . \u201cthe passage tells us , firstly that she is discomposed ; secondly , that she cannot take her mind off a visit extraordinary not only in its substance but in the urgency attached to it by lady catherine , who clearly feels that darcy may indeed act ; thirdly , that she wonders how such a rumor could have begun ; fourthly , that the fact that darcy is bingley\u2019s friend and she jane\u2019s sister must have prompted speculation about her prospects too ; and finally that the lucases have already consummated a match which she has begun to contemplate only in the privacy of her own mind . \u201d ( p . 191 ) this extrapolation , or reading out , as it were , gives a clear set of narrative events that are taking place in elizabeth\u2019s mind , but are important nonetheless .\nthis is a terrifically useful book and is quite well known in graduate student circles . i came across it randomly at a bookstore when i was searching for a good introduction to literary theory and basic concepts . this book was clear and insightful and chatman ' s presentation has since become the anchor around which i was able to read and digest all the other books that came after it . if you ' re looking for a ' way into ' literary theory concepts , this one will be very helpful . the title , story and discourse - refers to the basic distinction literary theorists make between a story ( chronological set of events ) and its narration ( chronology can be manipulated to produce various rhetorical effects such as suspense , etc ) .\nexperiencing a narrative requires interpretation , filling in the gaps . this is a crucial element in story , that it is possible for the reader to inject their own interpretations , and supply extra details and imagery to what is being read . this is interesting in the context of film and visual video games , which supply more and more visual information . chatman explains that narratives evoke a world of potential details . the text supplies some of these details , but it is up to the reader to fill in the rest . there is a range of artistic expression in narrative , as is present in painting . painting may be more or less detailed ( impressionistic works forgo detail to create expression and mood ) , likewise narrative may choose to go in or out of details at whim . narrative is never complete .\nthe idea of structure that chatman uses comes from piaget , who claims that structure contains wholeness , transformation , and self - regulation . narrative is a structure by these terms , and furthermore it is a semiotic structure . as a semiotic structure , it is divided into quadrants by expression and content , and substance and form . discourse is the expression of narrative , while content is the story . both of these have elements of substance and form . a worthwhile endeavor is to imagine what of this constitutes the world and the model . it seems like both of these are content , but what identifies the world versus the model in terms of the cultural codes , characters , and such is lest clear . the experience of reading is a part of the discourse , and it is arguable that in an adaptation project , the form of expression should be mimicked or made analogous to the source material .\nthe narrative evokes a world , and the reader is free to enrich that world . chatman\u2019s goal is to construct an open theory of character ( open in the umberto eco sense ) . the terms to be understood in characters are totality , traits , and uniqueness . traits are used to compose character and character has a range of them . a trait is a \u201crelatively stable or abiding personal quality\u201d ( p . 126 ) . characters may shift between traits over the course of a narrative , and traits may extend beyond the events of a story . the idea of traits is to develop a structural format for character identity , that is meaningful within the scope of the story world , but can also be extended beyond the story world . the notion of trait is sufficient for literary analysis , but for the purposes of procedural adaptation , it requires more formalization and detail . a character model is something that i am interested in developing , but it is not clear exactly how the process will work .\nberkeleyside is always honored to publish , at no charge , obituaries of members of the

dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nstatements in discourse may be interpreted , and have different interpretations . discourse can show and tell , but showing and telling have different meanings . all statements are mediated to some degree , but telling increases the degree of mediation . the range of mediation and forms of narration create a spectrum of modes between the author and the reader .\nevents make up the things that happen , and this is the content , but the arrangement of these events as presented to the reader is a matter of discourse . the presentation of sequence implicitly conveys causality . readers interpret consecutive events as causally related . the verisimilitude of events , the manner in which they are interpreted as real , is according to how the reader thinks they should be , not necessarily as they are . thus , explicit narration is only required for events which are notable or unusual . without narration , the reader is left to believe that things continue as they \u201cought to\u201d . narration thus becomes an issue of inclusion and omission . this is an interesting point because it ties back to the way in which we read or use models . although the application to formal models is difficult because common expectations are notoriously difficult to express .\nverbal and cinematic story space are different in several respects . text has much more ambiguity and freedom , and is open in terms of visual imagery , but this imagery may be suggested given the style of the narrative . conversely , cinema cannot describe things and events , it must show them . games , interestingly , are in an in - between space . they can both show and tell by making use of various interactive techniques .\nregarding character , the original model belongs to aristotle , but aristotle\u2019s approach leaves much to be desired . aristotle frames characters as having traits , but this raises contention about the primacy of the action or the character\u2019s traits : which is the cause of which ? what is the relation of the plot to the character ? formalist depictions of character treats characters as variable and interchangeable , where the only importance is their function within the story . characters are secondary or worse with respect to the plot . on the other side , henry james argues for an interdependence of character and plot .\nthe first topic on the subject of discourse is the narrative spectrum , which is largely pulled from wayne booth . the essence of this spectrum revolves around the conflict between showing and telling , or presentation versus mediated narration , or mimesis and diagesis . all of these essentially represent the same conflict between how the story is narrated and read . the importance of discourse is heightened by perspective or point of view . this is made the most prominent in film , but has always been an issue in narration . most clearly , point of view has to do with how the world is logically digested and understood . there are many forms of discourse , which rely on how the point of view is communicated . discourse may be narrated , nonnarrated , direct , soliloquy , and so on . each of these forms implies something meaningful .\nthe current discourse - moment is the same as the story - moment ; hence any predicate referring to the current moment will be in the present tense . this is not an \u201cepic present\u201d depicting past time , but rather a real present referring to contemporary time of the action . memories and other references to the past will occur in the simple preterite , not the past perfect .\nthe language\u2013idiom , diction , word - and syntactic - choice\u2013 are identifiably those of the character , whether or not a narrator intervenes .\nthere is no presumptive audience other than the thinker himself , no deference to the ignorance or expository needs of a narratee .\nthis point suggests an interesting game mechanic , though . the player might be prompted at certain points with a bubble of \u201ci think\u2026\u201d , or \u201ci feel\u2026\u201d and must fill in some thoughts , which will indicate the player

year - old self - taught michigan native who writes , directs and produces an astonishing number of movies each year . he balances his film - making career with a series of $ 395 two - day seminars on how to write , produce , fund and distribute movies . these workshops might also double as a story - finding scheme , since in 2012 he produced a film called mary\u2019s buttons , which was written by a seminar attendee .\nfor all of its foibles , \u201cgood kids\u201d does manage to hit a few poignant emotional beats . a scene where a baked andy accidentally stumbles into the wrong house while searching for his \u201ctennis\u201d client leads to having a heart - to - heart with one of his bro - y peers , conch ( dayo okeniyi ) . conch opens andy\u2019s eyes to the reality that the quartet were never really outcasts , but rather they isolated themselves from the other kids . it\u2019s one of the few interesting scenes in the film , addressing a grey area as to whether those who view themselves as misfits are actually outsiders , or whether they sub - consciously exclude themselves out of self - preservation . the film\u2019s final scene with andy and nora saying their goodbyes is also surprisingly poignant , evoking a denouement of new lost chances and endings , with the promise of new beginnings on the horizon .\nthe four main characters are decently portrayed throughout the film . braun acquits himself adequately to the role andy , and most of the film\u2019s antics revolve around this character , in particular his unexpected summer job as a gigolo / tennis instructor and his online relationship with a girl from india , whom his friends think is a catfish . andy\u2019s shenanigans are mildly amusing at best , and include a montage showing how he serves his \u201ctennis\u201d clients , an unexpected nude escape , and subsequent streaking charge . the best gag involves yogurt , and it will make any woman who\u2019s had a uti clap their hands with vindictive glee . for the most part however , the gang comes off as \u201c american pie \u201d lite . the romance is also something left to be desired . andy\u2019s supposedly long simmering attraction to nora comes out of nowhere , and it feels rather like a plot point that\u2019s been added because it\u2019s an expected trope of the genre , rather than organically weaved into the story . the worn out shtick of \u201cguy is jealous of female friend\u2019s new relationship , tears down and belittles girl\u201d leaves a sour taste , but thankfully nora calls andy out on his behavior .\nandy warhol was a genius , but he could be mean . he loved to make his acolytes squabble . he\u2019d torture visitors by blaring the same pop song over and over .\n\u201candy warhol is the most revolutionary of all filmmakers working today , \u201d jonas mekas , the village voice critic and film pioneer , wrote less than a month after \u201cempire\u201d was shot . last week , over lunch at a bar a few blocks from fuentes , which represents him , mr . mekas , 91 , still voiced the same views on warhol . \u201che was the avant -

on or was it a deep - down reflection of \u201cthe real andy\u201d ? actually , it was the real andy pretending to be what he hated , and realizing that he loved being that way , but mostly because of the reaction it provoked .\nthe warden learns the shocking truth : for almost two decades , andy has been chiseling away at the wall with a rock hammer and hiding his handiwork behind a series of pinup posters procured by red , finally making his escape through the sewer pipes the night before .\n\u201cisabelle was actually the one who advocated for ( allen ) , \u201d baig said . \u201cwe let him read and we knew he was our guy but we played it off like \u2018yeah he\u2019s alright\u2019 and then went into another room and were like \u2018yes he\u2019s ( andy ) \u2019\u201d .\nafter another ten years , red does just that . he discovers that andy left him some spending money , as well as instructions on how to find him . the two friends are reunited on the beach in mexico , with one of most yearbook quote - worthy lines ever :\nwhen i saw the film , i became one of its greatest champions ( it wound up being my movie of the year for 1999 ) , and carrey\u2019s extraordinary performance vaulted over all my doubts . in \u201cman on the moon , \u201d he nailed every nuance of andy kaufman \u2019s spirit , and he used his own mercurial quality as a comic to tease out the secret of kaufman\u2019s genius , which is that he wasn\u2019t just some dada tv art prankster crafting stunts to mess with your head . and he didn\u2019t just want to make you laugh , either . he wanted to leave you amazed . he was , in that way , the very soul of showbiz .\nanyway , he ' s sent to shawshank prison , where he ' s befriended by some total sweethearts , including a convicted murderer named red who eventually becomes his best bud . red ' s a guy who\nknows how to get things ,\nand andy asks him to get him a rock hammer to collect rocks\u2014he ' s always been an amateur geology fan . red ' s glad to oblige . andy ' s also befriended by some guys who are . . . well , let ' s just say they don ' t want to examine rocks with him .\nwhen reid tweeted the andy the talking hedgehog poster on friday , the internet went nuts . that was partly because the poster featured a hedgehog , two cats , dean cain , tara reid\u2019s twitter profile pic manipulated to look slightly more wholesome and an unattributed quote calling it \u201ca magical good time\u201d . but it was also because the imdb plot summary for the film read \u201ctara reid brings her oscar award - winning prowess to this documentary about a hedgehog that dean cain farted on giving it the ability to talk . it\u2019s a fun - loving family movie that will for sure make you say \u201cwowza . that\u2019s a stinky fart ! \u201d\u2019 that summary , incidentally , was attributed to scott baio .\nthe orlando bloom - esque ben winchell stars as max mcgrath , a shy 16 - year - old who\u2019s sick of moving from town to town with his widowed mother , molly ( maria bello , whose mere presence is the only reason this movie gets half a star ) . at the film\u2019s start , the two have just come back to the hometown of his late father ( mike doyle , seen in flashbacks ) , a scientist who died long ago in a mysterious , explosive accident . dad\u2019s former partner , miles ( andy garcia , hamming it up big - time ) , who\u2019s now in charge of the company the two built together , arrives soon afterward to help them get settled .\nthose glimpses feel especially important as you watch the film . they give a sense of the duration of the shooting of \u201cempire , \u201d and of real people endlessly gazing out the window at the actual skyscraper \u2014 perfect avatars for those of us wallowing in the movie version . it\u2019s the fact of that endless , parallel staring , by the filmmakers and us , that\u2019s the real subject of this art work .\ncarrey , a jaw - dropping comic trailblazer of his own , grasped all that ; that\u2019s why he captured kaufman so profoundly . but it wasn\u2019t until i saw chris smith \u2019s ticklish and captivating documentary \u201c jim & andy : the great beyond \u2014 featuring a very special , contractually obligated mention of tony clifton , \u201d that i realized what the two comedic visionaries actually had in common . andy kaufman\u2019s comedy emerged from his pathological role - playing , which was built around his weak sense of identity and his consuming need to create one . it turns out that jim carrey overlapped him in that department quite a bit .\none summer day in 1964 , he recalled , when he was out on the streets with a young warhol hanger - on named john palmer , they found themselves looking up at the empire state building . \u201ci said to palmer : \u2018this is a perfect warhol movie . why don\u2019t you tell this to andy ? \u2019 and he did . \u201d\nwhen it was announced in the late \u201990s that jim carrey had been chosen to play andy kaufman in a major hollywood biopic , my gut reaction was skepticism . carrey , then at the height of his star power , was a brilliant comedian who had more than proved his acting chops ( in \u201cthe truman show\u201d ) , yet both [ \u2026 ]\nhaving cleared out the funds set up under randall stevens , andy absconds with over $ 300 , 000 of the warden ' s money , forwards the cooked account books to the local newspaper , and makes a bee line for mexico . the police come for the warden , who takes the coward ' s way out with a bullet to the brain .\nthat was fine ; she\u2019d spent most of the interview revealing that she\u2019s been the victim of bullying , so it would have felt cruel to directly follow that up with a sneery \u201chey tara , tell me about your dumb hedgehog movie\u201d . but now andy the talking hedgehog is one of the hottest films on the planet , and i\u2019m kicking myself a little .\nin \u201cjim & andy , \u201d we watch carrey submerge himself in the cantankerous , growly clifton mystique . on the days when they\u2019re shooting tony clifton scenes , he refuses to break character , forcing milo\u0161 forman to give direction to this stunted , exhausting man who will not listen to a thing he says . carrey , like andy , revels in taking the joke too far . we see priceless footage of the night that tony showed up at the playboy mansion and partied with hugh hefner , who thought that he was in on the joke ; he presumed that he was hosting jim carrey . and then , after two hours , into the party walks\u2026jim carrey ! hef turns white as a sheet , and tony clifton gets booted out of the party . but at that moment , he lives .\nin the film , ex - cop , ex - racer and vietnam vet kowalski , played by barry newman , bets his drug dealer he can deliver a supercharged 1970 dodge challenger to california in 15 hours . the reasons for the wager are unclear , but it triggers 90 minutes worth of screaming police cruisers and an excited , crash - by - crash radio narration by super soul , a blind disc jockey played by cleavon little . kowalski also encounters desert hippies , a rattlesnake wrangler and an alluring , naked blond woman on a motorcycle .\nafter 20 years at shawshank , andy doesn ' t seem like himself . his buddies are worried , and he asks one of them for a length of rope . he seems to be telling red . . . goodbye . one morning , he doesn ' t make it out of his cell for roll call . red fears the worst , but astonishingly , he isn ' t in there at all .\nyou\u2019d expect that after hour 3 or 4 of \u201cempire , \u201d you\u2019d be ready to slit your wrists , but the movie turns out to be gripping . if great works of art can be thought of as machines for thinking , triggering ideas by the dozen , then \u201cempire\u201d is a rolls -

practised wrap - up speech .\ncarrey\u2019s comedy , too , erupted out of him like an alternate personality , and he grew up riddled with insecurities ( like a lot of performers ) . but once he got famous , something inside him snapped . nice , grinning , friendly canadian jim divided off from dark , weird , troubled , who - am - i ? jim . channeling andy kaufman was a catharsis for him , because it put him in touch with his inner split personality .\nproduction : andy warhol films ; black and white and eastmancolor , 16mm ; running time : 195 minutes , other versions are 210 and 205 minutes . released 15 september 1966 ; uncut reels were projected side by side ; in the general release version , the 1st reel appeared screen right , and a few minutes later , the second appeared screen left . filmed 1966 in the chelsea hotel , new york city ; other parts of new york city ; and cambridge , massachusetts .\nexcept that he cherished that reaction more than anything , so maybe it was the real him . or maybe there was no real him . in one of the greatest scenes in \u201cman on the moon , \u201d carrey , as kaufman , as tony clifton gets up on stage and does his unspeakable rendition of \u201ci\u2019ve gotta be me . \u201d it\u2019s bottom - of - the - barrel sentimental showbiz hooey , but it\u2019s all built around a conundrum : who , exactly , is me ? \u201cjim & andy : the great beyond\u201d shows you that the answer is a grand illusion .\non the set of \u201cman on the moon , \u201d he went full daniel day - lewis , staying in character when the cameras were turned off . this meant , much of the time , that he was sweet , mild , tentative andy and therefore easy to deal with . but it also meant that when the salty - tempered professional wrestler jerry lawler showed up to do his scenes , carrey - as - andy would harass him in the same way that kaufman used to \u2014 except that as we see , the mockery was even more scathing . in the \u201980s , kaufman and lawler went at each other like a blue red / red state nuclear meltdown , but lawler was in on the joke ; off camera , as he explains on the set , kaufman was nice as pie . that\u2019s what he expected from carrey , but instead carrey would push lawler\u2019s buttons , asking him if he\u2019d stolen his bejeweled cape from elvis or saying \u201conce again , proving darwin\u2019s theory\u2026\u201d he kept pushing them , even after he\u2019d crossed the line , provoking lawler to fits of rage . to stay in character , carrey , as kaufman , became a method pest .\nthe remaining passengers are now waking up\u2014including the captain , inexplicably played by andy garcia ( he has zero lines and perhaps six seconds of screen time . ) after emerging from their pods , they notice the ship has been transformed into a forest of sorts\u2014as jim and aurora have stayed together and planted vegetation and raised animals and lived happily ever after on the ship because love always wins and that a man can get away with being a creep to a woman as long as he saves that woman\u2019s life at least once . and now they\u2019re dead . stockholm syndrome is real , and it is spectacular .\nwhen it was announced in the late \u201990s that jim carrey had been chosen to play andy kaufman in a major hollywood biopic , my gut reaction was skepticism . carrey , then at the height of his star power , was a brilliant comedian who had more than proved his acting chops ( in \u201cthe truman show\u201d ) , yet both temperamentally and ethnically he seemed wrong for the part : kaufman was a doughy nerdy jewish space cadet , carrey a hypomanic string -

( c ) sony worldwide\nhistorically , the battle of stalingrad was one of the worst in terms of civilian and military casualties and was also an iconic turning point in the war . stalingrad is at times both historically accurate and fictionalized to make the movie more appealing . the statistics displayed in the film and the statistics of the actual battle were very similar . the movie stated that over a million people died in the conflict , starved to death , or froze and the actual statistics say that 1 . 7 -

' it was an important battle , the turning point of world war ii . the germans thought they would cut through russia like a knife through butter and move on into india . unfortunately for them , after a three - month siege of the town , stalingrad was the setting for the germans ' first big defeat of the war .\ndavid glantz : if you examine these records , records that weren\u2019t available to previous historians , you can identify certain misconceptions that pertain to how and why the battle was conducted , and the outcome of the battle overall . we can now take these misconceptions and convert them into truths .\nkevin farrell : throughout germany once news of the defeat at stalingrad was announced to the german people , that hundreds of thousands of german families that had soldiers engaged in the battle , they knew what that meant . they knew they had lost their sons , they had lost their husbands , that he was not coming home , in a way that no other battle or campaign had touched all of germany at once on such a vast scale .\nis the most technically impressive film made on native soil in a decade -

i used to be under the impression that the troops offered in the event chest are all from the same kingdom as the featured character . i learned that\u2019s not true last week .\nin 2008 shochiku produced an official female spin - off film from zatoichi called ichi which is about a blind swordswoman who is looking for zatoichi . it was all right but there is something a little more entertaining about the crimson bat series . maybe it\u2019s the lower budget , the \u201970s music and the gratuitous blood but it\u2019s an entertaining time killer .\nthe other critics are off base comparing crimson bat to zatoichi . they are different films with different tones , delivering different messages . zatoichi is highly dramatic and incorporates zen bushido . judged on it ' s own merits , crimson bat is a less preachy action flick with a female lead who kicks butt . it has a seventies feel due to its music , sound effects , and color schemes . i enjoy the use of dramatic lighting of black and white noir film applied to color . you get a sword fight in every town and on every road as oichi rights injustice and avoids bounty hunters . more akin to television westerns , it has better production value than bruce lee films and is simply entertaining .\njust a reminder to all of the ones that recently joined and doesnt know everything about the game yet , as well as the less active players . one of the greatest legendaries is now in the event chest , the crimson bat . he has just been buffed to gain + 8 more life on each cast , now getting totally + 16 life for each cast , and is among the best true damage troops in the game .\nit\u2019s still one of the 4 cards i don\u2019t own . the silent one , gaar\u2019nok ( i think i spelled it right ) , psion and that bat . i won\u2019t get desperate i got a very first gorgotha two days ago in a glory chest .\nthe crimson bat is a series of four movies based around the character of the same name . the character was a blind swordswoman . it was made by shochiku studios , as a response to the hugely successful zatoichi series . the character , oichi , was very similar to the zatoichi character , that is she was a blind sword fighter who roamed and did odd jobs for money . the main difference , apart from being a female , was that her weakness was a stereotyped female tendency to be emotional . ironically , an official female variation of zatoichi was released decades later , and entitled ichi .\nthe action is decent too , with matsuyama definitely operating a step above her first outing ; although these aren\u2019t usually so much fights , more the swift dispatch of one or more opponents , that\u2019s par for the chambara genre . matsuka is somewhat of an enigma as a character \u2013 it\u2019s hard to see why oichi falls for him , and the whole \u201corphan\u201d plotline is not well handled . in particular , it\u2019s lacking any kind of background , to the extent it feels like an entire film was missing . the rest of the story though , is well - crafted and packs a solid wallop ; you could certainly argue that this is the best flight of the crimson bat .\nofficially , the four crimson bat movies were adaptations of teruo tanashita ' s mekura no oichi manga . but you ' d have to be blind yourself not to see that this was shochiku ' s barely disguised attempt at doing their own zatoichi character . if they never quite managed to reach the same levels of success as daiei did with their blind masseur , shochiku at least had the prettier one of the blind protagonists . yoko matsuyama , wife of mangaka tanashita , stars as oichi \u2013 the orphaned woman who is blinded as young and later rescued , taken in and taught the way of the sword by a wandering samurai . as is often the case in these movies , oichi is wandering the land in search of vengeance ( on\u2026\nhey , sure thing that bat is an awesome troop , but if it isn\u2019t dropping randomly from pure luck , there\u2019s no point for a new - ish player to try to get him via event chests . but if you have hundreds or thousands of gems , hell yes , you will get him , even raise him to mythic .\nthat swordswoman is oichi , supposedly based on an animated story and character by teruo tanashita \u2013 but , really , who are they trying to kid ? this was simply the shochiku\u2019s studio\u2019s answer to daiei\u2019s zatoichi , and any protestations to the contrary should be treated with deep scepticism . both hero and heroine are blind , yet have no problem fighting for truth , justice and the amer\u2026japanese way , as they wander through the traditional chambara landscape . [ indeed , in the first film , a blind masseuse wobbles drunkenly through one scene , in what can only be a casual potshot at zatoichi ] original thought is not something to look for in the crimson bat series , even ardent fans will admit . however , shochiku did strike gold in yuko matsuyama ; albeit they didn\u2019t have to look very far to find her , since she was married to character creator tanashita . i get the feeling shochiku didn\u2019t exactly over - exert themselves in a star search .\nthere are now eleven final clubs : a . d . , bat , delphic , d . u . , fly , fox , iroquois , owl , phoenix s . k . , porcellian , and spee . with the exception of the bat , each club has its own building and serves daily meals . the club sponsors a few parties and dances ; it provides a library , club room , bar , and pool tables for its members . beyond this , the final club does little . the contrast with the nation ' s fraternities is evident : the clubs have no athletic teams . they enter no candidate in local beauty contests . for the most part , they permit no women in the club houses . but most important , the spirit of a harvard club is entirely different from a fraternity or even from its counterparts in the ivy league . the clubs depend on a quiet acceptance in the college for removed from\nhell weeks\nand tap days . final clubs , like those oft - lampooned organizations for london or new york businessmen , have no reason for existing . and they seek no purpose . they have sprung up over the years for the enjoyment or convenience of their members and as long as they continue to attract men , they will continue .\nshe\u2019s no luckier with her foster parent , who is murdered by a former associate , devil denzou ( amatsu ) ; she is saved from the same fate by a wandering samurai . he sees her potential and trains her in the way of the sword , to the point where she has surpassed him . but she mentions the m - word \u2013 \u201cmarriage\u201d \u2013 and he , too , exits like a , er , bat out of hell . on subsequent travels , she uses her skills to save yet another man from being lynched , and eventually , all these disparate plot threads join up , more or less . though others , such as the woman with a killer yo - yo [ gogo yubari\u2019s ancestor ? ] just kinda drift out of the plot .\nput on your bat - suits and rejoice , for today ( july 23 ) is national batman day ! as part of the caped crusader\u2019s 75th anniversary , dc comics is celebrating with comic giveaways and movie showings around the country . the festivities continue tomorrow when comic -

ess series has survived more than two outings .\nproper english - language distribution . however , we don\u2019t let things like that stop us . : - ) while dubbed versions of all four films in the saga are available on the grey market , the bootleg prints seem to have dutch , or occasionally greek , subtitles . this lends the whole thing a certain surreal air , though as dubs go , they aren\u2019t bad \u2013 an opinion no doubt assisted by the characters , who generally prefer to let their actions speak louder than their words . and since even\n[ august 2005 , bill f writes : \u201cyou may be interested to learn that after the last film it was turned into a television series . the film series was produced by shochiku . the tv series was produced by toei . like the films , the tv series starred yuko matsuyama . the tv series also starred hiroshi fujioka and it ran for 25 episodes ( 4 / 12 / 71 \u2013 9 / 27 / 71 ) . \u201d ]\nwe meet our heroine oichi as a young child , who has just been being abandoned by her mother \u2013 not sure what happened to father , but we later discover mom\u2019s a prostitute , so can probably fill in the blanks ourselves . to make matters worse , the tree under which oichi takes shelter from a storm is struck by lightning , rendering her totally blind , in a way that\u2019s \u2013 probably wisely \u2013 left medically unexplained . however , she is then taken in by a kind gentleman , who brings her up , and on into adulthood .\nthe film is at its best when there is the threat of violence ; much like sergio leone , the lead - up lasts much longer than the actual acts , with the director ratcheting up the tension . for example , there\u2019s one scene where oichi visits a gambling parlour to raise money , and from the moment she sits down , you\nit\u2019s just a matter of time before her sword comes out of its red sheath ( which presumably is the origin of her name \u2013 that , and the copious blood that tends to get sprayed when she\u2019s around ) . there\u2019s also a nice visual sense at work throughout here , particularly in lighting , which enhances proceedings nicely .\nand , being honest , the actual drama needs all the help it can get , since it seems limp in comparison , though allowance should likely be made for the dubbing . that , however , can\u2019t explain the bouncing back and forth in time , which may induce temporal nausea in susceptible viewers ; it feels as if the finished film got tossed in the air and is shown in the order it hit the ground . and while there\u2019s a decent \u201cah - hah ! \u201d when everything ties up , this isn\u2019t enough to justify the lengthy set - up . fewer plot threads , explored in depth , would be a major improvement .\ndir : matsuda teiki star : yoko matsuyama , isamu nagato , jun tatara , satoshi amatsu a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : makkana nagaredoni\n, seems quite content with her life as a bounty - huntress . she has even adopted an orphan , just as she herself was taken in herself , but two things wreck this relatively happy situation . she discovers her protege is really a runaway , not an orphan , and consequently has to abandon her \u2013 again , as she was discarded . worse yet , she incurs the wrath of fellow bounty - huntress oen ( matsuoka ) , a kitten with a whip\npockets full of venomous snakes , who leaves oichi for dead . luckily , she is nursed back to health by matsuka ( irikawa ) , a farmer who doesn\u2019t care about her shady past , and oichi discovers the joys of a simpler existence \u2013 specifically , one not involving the slaughter of criminals for cash . of course , the inevitable eventually happens : local thug bunzo ( abe ) starts taking the locals\u2019 rice stocks , with oen closely in tow . no prizes for guessing that the quiet life isn\u2019t going to last long , especially after matsuka is manipulated by oen into owing a gambling debt to bunzo .\nthis is a fine movie , with matusoka in particular a grand foil for the heroine , her hair covering one half of her face like a veil , and the other half usually displaying a near - psychotic expression . oichi\u2019s struggles to leave her past behind feel almost like shakespearean tragedy , and the final shots of the film , while a sudden way to end , hint strongly at an endless , futile struggle . to paraphrase george orwell , if you want a picture of the future , imagine a samurai sword slicing up an opponent\u2026forever . downbeat ? hell , yes . wouldn\u2019t have it any other way .\ndir : matsuda teiki stars : yoko matsuyama , yasunori irikawa , kikko matsuoka , toru abe a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : jigoku hada\nthe third entry in the series saw a new director , and unfortunately , a marked turn for the worse , largely because the focus drifts off oichi . it starts briskly enough , with the heroine coming into possession of a new , effective formula for gunpowder , something barely known at the time in japan . understandably , this makes her the focus of attention , in particular for a group with an interest in profiting from the discovery .\nhands . moral doubts aside , the main flaw is the introduction of characters such as gennosuke ( ibuku ) and , worse still , an immensely irritating pair of teenage orphans . together , they succeed in making oichi feel like a supporting character in her own movie , and she is almost entirely absent from action in the middle portion .\nby the time she rides to the rescue\u2026yes , i said \u201crides\u201d , her previously unmentioned equestrian skills being hand - waved away with \u201cthe horse knows where it\u2019s going\u201d\u2026the film is pretty much dead in the water . the final battle does mark another step up in scale , with matsuyama\u2019s skills again clearly improved , and the quantity of enemies dispatched again setting a high - water mark , even if gennosuke gets to take out almost as many as oichi , and the way in which the villainous henchman suddenly switches sides is laughable . in marked contrast to its two predecessors , this does have a proper ending , tying up the loose threads in a satisfying , if conventional , way . it isn\u2019t enough to rescue the day , with interest having succumbed at a disturbingly early point .\nin its incarnation as samurai woman ( left ) , i believe this was the only installment to see a release in the uk . when first seen , over a decade ago , it was unimpressive , and it remains weak , particularly when viewed from an action heroine perspective . but even in general terms , it\u2019s a poor piece of cinematic storytelling .\ndir : hirokazu ichimura stars : yoko matsuyama , goro ibuki , kiyoko inoue , asahi kurizuka a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : midare gasa\ndirector ichimura returned for the fourth episode , and despite similar problems as the third installment \u2013 most obviously , an apparent doubt that oichi\u2019s character can hold the viewer\u2019s interest by herself \u2013 makes a much better stab at things here . bounty - hunter oichi finds out what life is like on the other side of the law , after she helps rescue an unwilling bride from a local magistrate ; he slaps a 100 gold - piece reward on her head , which naturally , brings other bounty - hunters on her trail , led by sankuro ( meguro ) .\nshe ends up in a fishing village , where the \u201cevil property developer\u201d subplot makes a surprising appearance , despite the historical era . the reconstruction of the harbour threatens to put the locals out of work , but a plot is afoot among the local authorities to pay them only one gold piece each in compensation , rather than the 15 gold pieces actually provided by the federal government . residents , officials , bounty - hunters and oichi all inevitably collide , including one character played by tetsuro tamba , who remains even now one of the most respected ( and prolific \u2013 the imdb lists 193 films for him ! ) actors in japanese cinema .\nthere\u2019s a lot of devious double - crossing and deception here , which is okay to watch , but isn\u2019t really the reason we watch these things . and that it also turns out to be sankuro\u2019s birthplace is too much of a fluke to swallow . fortunately , it all builds nicely to an extended finale , where our heroine ( now also framed for the murder of a village elder ) gets a chance to take out her aggression and resentment on all those who have turned her life into that of a hunted animal . it\u2019s a great urban battle , through the town which is being demolished around her , in and out of buildings until she finally confronts the chief villain of the piece .\nthough this was the last entry in the series , there isn\u2019t much sense of closure at the end , with ( and i trust i\u2019m not really spoiling this for anyone ) oichi merely walking off into the sunset , alone again , naturally . one senses shochiku were hoping to continue , but for whatever reason \u2013 most likely box - office success , or rather , the lack thereof \u2013 it never materialised . however , for a series from the 60\u2019s , it was undeniably ahead of its time , and most of the films have survived the passage of three and a half decades in an impressive style . if any enterprising dvd company were to snap them up , the rewards would likely be significant .\ndir : hirokazu ichimura stars : yoko matsuyama , yuki meguro , tetsuro tanaba , reiko oshida a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : inochi moraimasu\ncontact us -

' 74 ) , an early outing for lone wolf star tomisaburo wakayama . the dubbed video release seen here added to the charm , and it goes without saying that if you like martial arts films , you ' ll no doubt take to this . personally i found toshiya fujita ' s similar lady snowblood ( shurayukihime , 1973 ) , which also had the virtue of only stretching to one sequel , to be rather more satisfying .\nstay up to date with the latest and best in japanese cinema . be the first to hear about our new reviews , exclusive interviews and features .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 1 / / en\nurltoken\nscan the following qr -

i\u2019ve pulled two troops i was missing from a kingdom with at little as 7 event keys before , but most weeks take over 50 . last week took 137 keys to get borealis after getting two mab in the first 87 , and i\u2019ve heard of others using upwards of 200 keys to get a single target legendary . bottom line is to not buy event chests unless you can afford them , and don\u2019t have expectations .\njust adding some more data to increase the sample size reported here . today i opened 50 event chests and got 3 bats . i think sirrian mentioned that legendary drop rate was improved in 2 . 0 . hopefully it is up there at 8 % now for gem / event chests like eika says .

grandfather belonged to and the one his friends have picked , the rest of the college sleeps or goes to class , oblivious and wholly unconcerned with clubs , club activities , or club membership .\nwhile it is perhaps fitting that indifference should be the general attitude of the harvard undergraduate to the final club , such was not always the case . the history of the club system , through secret phases and periods of national affiliation , is now a completed cycle . and the position of the clubs , from a pre - eminent place in the college to a membership of 10 per cent of the undergraduates , reflects , if sometimes inversely , the growth of harvard as a national institution .\nthe attraction of the club when the system first began is easy to understand . the porcellian club , legend has it , began when a man in hollis hall found a suckling pig in his room . he hid the animal in a window seat until evening and then invited a few friends in to roast the pig . the evening was so pleasant that they determined to meet alternate friday evenings for fellowship and supper . they first called themselves\nthe argonauts ,\nbut when roast pig turned up month after month on the menu , the group came to be known as the\npig club .\nfrom 1879 , with the entrance of the first pig , to 1794 the club gained in prestige . finally , under joseph mckean , grand marshall of the club and founder of the organization as it is today , the members adopted the more gentlemanly name of\nporcellian .\nwith its early beginning and 164 years of tradition , porcellian has always represented the final club to the non - clubbed world . begun in an era when cambridge was small , isolated , and arid in entertainment , the club provided a necessary social break in the scholastic routine . the porcellian ' s motto dum vivimus vivamus was typical of the early attitude of the members - - no lofty mission , no serious purpose , just jovial pleasantry .\nthough porcellian frankly admitted its lack of direction , other clubs springing up in this period often claimed loftier motives . the hasty pudding club , formed in 1795 , purported to\ncherish the feelings of friendship and patriotism .\nto serve the latter purpose , the club celebrated washington ' s birthday for many years with a program of orations , patriotic songs and speeches . under the first constitution of the club ,\ntwo members , in alphabetical order , shall provide a pot of hasty - pudding for every meeting ,\nand from this , the name .\na rival to the pudding was the institute of 1770 , an organization devoted chiefly to oratory . the club was also dubbed\nthe speaking club ,\nbut since the group wished to keep its nature secret to non - members , the name was dropped . during the first half of the nineteenth century , clubs arose , grew , and merged . the hermetic society and the i . o . h . joined the institute , the latter bringing with it an extensive library . both the serious and the social groups had begun collecting books , filling in the chinks in college libraries .\nit was in this period that the clubs began to change in character . the pudding gave up much of its attempt at a scholarly tone and porcellian members began to consider the background of its candidates as well as their wit or agreeable character . this was the beginning of a welter of greek - letter fraternities . phi beta kappa had been the first in 1776 , but when other fraternities appeared they followed the lead of the established local clubs and emphasized the social over the intellectual .\nsince undergraduates were scattered throughout boarding houses and memorial hall was never a popular dining hall , clubs went far in focusing student activity and providing meals in congenial surroundings . as the practical value of a club to its member increased , prestige in belonging to one grew also . the size of the college was doubling every thirty years from 1860 to 1920 , and while there still were many clubs , selectivity had become the keynote in electing members .\nwhen theodore roosevelt was discussing the marriage of his daughter to nicholas longworth , he confided boastfully to a perplexed kaiser wilhelm that he and nick had both belonged to the porc . at that time , roosevelt was not alone in considering membership an important qualification for a son - in - law . boston mothers , on the prowl for young gentlemen eligible for debutante dances , turned to the clubs to provide them . and the institute of 1770 even had ranking within itself : the first seventy or eighty elected to it from each class were termed dickeys , from the name of a secret society d . k . e . for those undergraduates with the correct background it was all - important that they be elected to the dickey - - it meant certain social success in college and afterward . and even in 1926 when the pudding and the institute merged , the club sent out a list of members , in the order which they had been elected . this ranking was published in boston and new york papers and served as a convenient method for plucking the near from the eligible .\nin later years , the dickey has disappeared . hasty pudding remains as a common ground for all clubs with a membership of over 600 . members are chosen from a list of candidates put up by friends in the club and passed on by the 11 presidents of the final clubs . hasty pudding also serves meals but is chiefly popular for its extensive , reasonable - priced bar ; and leo , one of the last of the irish tenor barmen . since many of the final clubs do not permit women guests , the hasty pudding also gives dances throughout the football season .\nthe hasty pudding ,\nsays one member ,\nhas no particular social barrier - - the only consideration is more or less if you ' re a nice guy .\nin this respect the hasty pudding differs much from the society as it existed in the 1890 ' s , and indeed from the final club in most eras . it was in the ' 90s that nation - wide fraternities were losing their grip on college chapters . the local groups wanted more independence ; the national organization , more control . throughout the 1890s ' clubs were detaching themselves from the fraternity system . porcellian and a . d . , which had broken off from the harvard chapter of alpha delta phi , were joined by other final clubs . another fraternity effort to refound alpha delta phi terminated in the phli and finally the fly club .\nwith both the iconic and the new , these eight local boston and cambridge - area establishments have come to define the harvard experience for students both old and new .\nventure university aims to curate and develop emerging investors and entrepreneurs entering the industry .\nthe undergraduate awards programme 2018 , the world\u2019s leading undergraduate academic awards programme , recognises outstanding undergraduate work and shares it with a global audience .\nzambrero opens in harvard square and warwick , rhode island , donating a meal to someone in need for every burrito or bowl sold .\non the plus side it looks like i got refunded the gems i spent .\ni bought ki gold for this and i really hope i get refunded . have they said if there going to be any kind of way to get it back ?\nwe haven\u2019t said a word yet . i hope to know more tomorrow . believe it or not , the snow day in portland , or is what caused this not to get reinstated today .\nmeanwhile down here in arkansas we\u2019ve experienced all 4 seasons within the span of a week . today\u2019s summer , i suppose . i\u2019m hoping winter comes back soon .\nwe aren\u2019t used to it in the northwest . they had more snow down in portland than they\u2019ve had in the last 37 years !\nthe pack is back up but i still dont have my ki gold back . do we now how long the pack will be up ?\ni have no idea . i just took a risk and got it when i saw it .\n. that\u2019s the twist . it\u2019s a blind swordswoman instead of a blind swordsman . y\u00f4ko matsuyama stars as oichi , a young woman who was abandoned as a child , blinded by lightning bolt and raised by a foster family . the foster family is murdered by a bad guy , oichi is saved and later trained by a wandering samurai who also left her after she got better with the sword than him . she was also hinting at marriage which might have had something to do with it . the rest of film has her wandering from town to town saving people and kicking butt .\nwhere oichi fights an evil female bounty hunter who uses a whip . this was followed by the less successful\n( 1970 ) . apparently in 1971 there was a 25 episode tv series and then the character faded into obscurity . the films have never had a north american release although there have been random versions released in other countries with bad dubs . a search on the interwebs finds nothing physical to buy in terms of dvds or blu -

( andorians are aliens with blue skin . )\nrunning at ninety - three minutes , cocksucker blues was scheduled for an 18 november 1972 release ; however , after watching robert frank\u2019s rough - cut , jagger demanded that it not be shown , on account of its \u201cheavy scenes\u201d . ( 7 ) at the time , jagger was reported to have said ,\ni don\u2019t think this is a cover , but it\u2019s a great example of how much jagger and richards understand the blues .\n, we\u2019re never exactly in the villa of warm and fuzzy things , so pile it up , put the blues of the stones , the delta , chicago , all of it , on parade , the content of so much of rock and blues history , and then slap a lurid title on it . a title whose defiance - - 32 - 20 blues , pony blues , bellbottom blues , nah . . . this is cocksucking blues , that\u2019s my blues , baby - - has a kind of heroism to it , the boast that , yeah , i\u2019ll make a fiver in this alley , and then i\u2019ll muck about in the next , like nothing ever happened , and it won\u2019t always have to be this way . fuckers . tough to even think this was an intended antidote to altamont . and tough to storm the retail chains with such \u201cproduct\u201d .\nafter seeing cocksucker blues , robert frank ' s documentary about the rolling stones ' 1972 tour of america , mick jagger was said to have remarked to the director ,\nit ' s a fucking good film , robert , but if it shows in america we ' ll never be allowed in the country again .\nthe sailor moon di c north american dub had a large number of episodes titled\nsomething - or - other blues\n.\nstill , it\u2019s not scenes like this which make cocksucker blues an artifact worth treasuring . while voyeurs may savor the footage of keith richards apparently nodding out on heroin , mick jagger snorting a line of cocaine , and a groupie shooting up in a hotel room , it\u2019s actually the most ordinary elements of the film that make eyes go wide .\nchances are , if you\u2019ve heard of cocksucker blues , you\u2019ve probably heard about the scenes in which the rolling stones and / or their entourage snort cocaine . or the ones that show people having sex on screen . or shooting heroin . or maybe the one where one man aggressively forces women to strip in front of a group of people .\none of the earliest rock songs that surpassed ten minutes . its blues sound is heavily inspired , but the length was an experiment .\nrobert frank is gloriously notorious . he is the groundbreaking photographer of the americans ; the iconoclastic director of pull my daisy and cocksucker blues ; a difficult ( almost impossible ) interview subject ; a rejecter of wealth and celebrity ; a man whose \u2018sympathies were with people who struggled , \u2019 who has a \u2018mistrust of people who made the rules . \u2019\nuk have\ncaesar ' s palace blues\n. an unusual example in that it is also a song with a title only chorus .\nbootleg copies of \u201c ( expletive ) blues\u201d \u2013 or as it\u2019s also called , \u201ccs blues\u201d \u2013 have been passed around for years . the film is considered a cinema verite document of rock ' n ' roll hedonism - - raw and unstaged , unlike\nbehind the music .\ncross road blues\nby robert johnson of course , that ' s not taking into account more than half of the songs he recorded .\nsummertime blues\n, originally performed by eddie cochran , later covered by many acts , including blue cheer , the who , and rush .\nnot so funny : the eventual soul and body count . by the end of 1974 , taylor had quit the stones , deciding that he needed to leave in order to survive . in the closing credits of cocksucker blues , second cameraman daniel seymour is listed as \u201cjunkie soundman . \u201d it\u2019s supposed to be a joke ; he later paid , fatally , for his addiction .\nbut if you\u2019re wondering just how good a film is cocksucker blues is , and how it measures up to the music the stones were making at this point in their career , have a listen to any of the numerous bootleg recordings of the band\u2019s philadelphia \u201872 shows . if you\u2019re not familiar with them , it should be stated that even the most passionate stones fan is bound to come away incredulous that even they could be that good , just classic adrenaline shows , like an early pistols one - off , or jerry lee lewis\u2019 live at the star club . flash and dazzle inhabits cocksucker blues , and just as deeply , just as truly . but here the dazzle , such as it were , is more inwardly revealed , and subtle , like some disease creeping through you .\nsometimes , it just seems like the muses have the fix in . well before you get started , and more still after you\u2019ve pressed on with your endeavor , regardless . on that score , there may be no film in rock and film history more synonymous with foregone failure than robert frank\u2019s cocksucker blues , a polarizing document for upwards of 35 - years , now - - unreleased , and perhaps unreleasable .\nthe band\u2019s contract with decca expired in 1970 , and the stones were ready to break free and start their own label . before they could , though , decca reminded them that they owed the company one last single . irritated , no doubt , the group turned in a track called \u201ccocksucker blues , \u201d which was of course immediately shelved . ( bootlegs , if it need be said , can still be found . )\nenter , then the stars - - further mechanization of the rock star\u2019s life - - that come flitting through the film : truman capote , dick cavett and andy warhol . and marshall chess , son of leonard , who serves as producer , a title that seems remarkably nominal as he giggles his way through the backstory of how the song \u201ccocksucker blues\u201d came to be , a wind - up of a titled record company impresario\nso long as there\u2019s ever ready material , or just so long as the stones keep touring , it\u2019s probably safe to assume - - safe being the watchword here - - that it\u2019s going to be live from rio or some such fodder , that you\u2019ll find in the future at the local wal - marts as the next stones dvd , and the one after that , ad nauseam . cocksucker blues inhabits its own mythology .\nyou\u2019ll have your chance at 9 : 15 p . m . nov . 15 \u2013 when\n( expletive ) blues\nhits the cleveland institute of art cinematheque .\nanother very short track , it was originally recorded by buddy holly , but most agree that the sound was basically stolen from bo diddley , a highly influential blues man .\nfilled with moments of beauty and insight , meanwhile , cocksucker blues is left to add new depth to what would otherwise simply be a film about an excessive rock ' n ' roll junket .\nit ' s such a time capsule of what life was like behind the scenes in 1972 ,\nsays susan steinberg .\ni ' ve always wanted to get it released and seen . what was controversial at the time is now history .\ncocksucker blues begins with a black screen that simply reads\nexcept for the musical numbers the events depicted in this film are fictitious . no representation of actual persons and events is intended .\nthe room bubbled with sarcastic laughter . this was another result of the lawsuit against frank , that he had to put in a disclaimer at the beginning to suggest much of the , shall we say , non - musical sequences were staged . nobody was fooled .\nin comes producer marshall chess , who , early in the movie , gives the plotline : mick has already written a song called cocksucker blues , about a gay hooker in london , to fulfill the group ' s contractual obligations to decca records , which was run at the time by an old fart named sir edward lewis . apparently , during a meeting , mick gets up and plays a demo of the song to the uptight geezer the lyrics of which are :\nif cocksucker blues has a star - - and you could argue that dystopia is its star - - it\u2019s jagger , the anti - hero as hero , and the film\u2019s central consciousness amidst the drifters , gropers and druggers . we listen as he weighs in , for a press - op , on exile on main street : he likes the country stuff , but some of it doesn\u2019t hold together as he\u2019d have wanted . a full - on quality double album can be tricky .\nrehearsing at woodstock in 1978 for their tour behind some girls , the stones would revisit the song , and it\u2019s that version , oddly enough , that plays as the introduction to the recent , best ever version of the film , available on bootleg dvd as big cocksucker blues : special definitive edition , courtesy of 4reel productions . here are the stones touring behind their best album , making the finest music of their career , on the road , as traveling bluesmen , which seems fitting .\ncocksucker blues made a rare appearance at the brooklyn academy of music this weekend , selling out several days prior . the arts space known for its off - the - radar sensibilities made a perfect home for the contraband film . people in head - to - toe black and thick - frame glasses peppered its seats . the way the room arcs , the only spots left were at the edges of the theater , on a tilted view of the screen . but it didn ' t matter .\nagain , this is a cover , but by looking at the songs they choose to cover , it\u2019s amazing that the greatest band ever was so heavily influenced by blues and r & b .\nthat the scene was apparently staged only accentuates frank\u2019s interest in revealing emptiness behind the stones\u2019 public image , rather than simply exposing what took place behind the scenes on tour . when cocksucker blues captures jagger performing , he is at his sultriest\u2014writhing and crawling on stage . the band\u2019s sound is wild , almost unhinged . watching the rest of the doc\u2019s footage , though , what emerges isn\u2019t an alluring extension of that energy but , rather , the cautionary tale of a party life bereft of any meaning .\nhere , for example , are a few other things you see or hear in cocksucker blues : keith richards debating just how many blueberries , strawberries , and apples to order from room service ; mick jagger marveling at how good the food is in the american south ; richards so high that can\u2019t sit up straight after a show . the juxtaposition is fundamental : by interweaving the provocative and the mundane , frank sucks any remaining glamour from the images and , in its place , injects a biting criticism .\nwhich was exactly the case at tate modern a couple years ago . cocksucker blues may or may not be too abrasive for audiences who like their rock films heavy on libido and cranking with tunes to ever garner an official release , but frank slashed through enough red tape that he was able to secure the occasional screening , provided it was at an exhibition in which his work , rather than the stones\u2019 , was the central premise , and he was present , or at least someone who worked on the film .\ngrinder ' s blues ,\npoets of the fall ' s rockabilly theme song to sci fi platformer rochard , where the asteroid miner protagonist laments that he and his crew are barely skating by .\nthere have been three movies called st . louis blues . the first was a jazz short in the 20 ' s that depicted the only film footage of w . c . handy ( see the music entry below ) . the next one was made in the 30 ' s . it was a musical comedy starring dorothy lamour . the third was a musical bio - pic about w . c . handy made in the 50 ' s with nat king cole as the lead . because of this last film , the aforementioned 1930 ' s st . louis blues was retitled to best of the blues for television .\nwhat is clear , from the content of the lyrics at least , is that the stones never expected anyone to hear what may in fact be one of their landmark blues tracks - - which is to say , one of the landmark blues tracks . \u201cplay the chords , \u201d jagger mumbles - - a bit like lennon\u2019s \u201csugar plum fairy sugar plum fairy , \u201d preceding \u201ca day in the life\u201d , only with some dirt and blues got into her . and for three minutes and 30 seconds , one takes up residence in a robert johnson - netherworld . except here , we\u2019re cavorting about the streets of london .\nessentially , \u201ccocksucker blues\u201d treats its rough - edged , impulsive footage in a primally eisensteinian way , in terms of the art of editing and its theoretical implications . it\u2019s a work of intellectual montage that poses the question : what does this ( what goes on with the band backstage and in private ) have to do with that ( the performances onstage and on records ) ? what do sex and drugs have to do with rock and roll ? what\u2019s the link between art and trouble , between flagrant discharges of emotional energy in public and in private ?\nthe title of the film itself actually comes from a never - released song the stones wrote to meet a contractual obligation from decca records , who they hated working with , before leaving the label to start their own rolling stones records . the song\ncocksucker blues\nwas written to be purposefully unreleasable . ( lyrics like\nwhere can i get my cock sucked ? / where can i get my ass fucked ?\njust didn ' t fly in the 1970s . ) that the theme of unreleasability carried over to the film as well goes without saying .\n\u201ccocksucker blues , \u201d by contrast , is about the stones themselves\u2014onstage , backstage , and in intimate situations that hardly anybody would want to be filmed in . that\u2019s why it\u2019s so rare : soon after its completion , the band , wanting to keep some of their behavior under wraps , went to court to ban the film\u2019s screening , and the court imposed sharp limits on its public showings . the two screenings taking place tonight and tomorrow night at film forum are very unusual occasions . ( they\u2019re sold out , but there will be standby lines for both shows . )\ndemonstrated in one scene by jagger\u2019s then wife , bianca , who sits sullenly in a corner , playing a musical box over and over , there is little to stimulate an intelligent or intellectual mind , and certainly , frank paints a vivid , unattractive and monotonous portrait of the rock world . shot mostly in black and white , with the concert footage filmed in colour , cocksucker blues is aesthetically ugly and barely watchable . in every sense , it is a dreadful and unpleasant viewing experience , that visually bears no resemblance to frank\u2019s other beautifully composed still and moving pictures .\nthings are loosening up . cocksucker blues was shown on november 15th at the museum of modern art in new york as part of a two - week festival , the rolling stones : 50 years on film . ( the festival runs through december 2nd . ) frank did not appear at the screening , while the stones had just left the building , having attended the series\u2019 opening the night before and participating in an onstage interview with playwright tom stoppard . the near - collision was the closest thing to an official blessing the stones have given frank\u2019s movie since he made it .\n\u201cthis is one of the few parts in america where you can eat quite reasonably well , you know ? even in the coffee shops in the south they have better food , \u201d he says . the camera then pans to mick taylor in the back seat , awake moments before , now asleep . in some ways , cocksucker blues is , when you get down to it , a hymn to nodding out , physically , spiritually , any way it comes - - as if one\u2019s just been pressed too hard from too many sides . wither , then , the gradual breakdown .\nit is not fair to blame the stones for banning the film ; they wanted the movie of their first tour of america since the disastrous altamont festival ( the subject of gimme shelter ) to be an upbeat affair and to repair the damage to the band\u2019s image . cocksucker blues was hardly a good candidate for that , and even if they had felt secure enough to allow their audience to see that side of their lives , 1972 was not a good time to do that . however , it is unfortunate that this film had to be a fatality of the stones\u2019 quest to improve their image .\nthe stones may have faced the possibility of arrest had the movie actually been released , but cocksucker blues served the band better as legend than artifact , anyway . mick jagger\u2019s often repeated and possibly apocryphal line about the movie makes that clear : \u201cit\u2019s a good film , robert , \u201d he reportedly told frank , \u201cbut if it shows in america we\u2019ll never be allowed in the country again . \u201d the movie\u2019s existence on the black market , and the relative lack of information that existed about it as a result , helped support a troublemaker\u2019s image : you thought we were bad , but you have no idea .\nfilmmaker jim jarmusch , commenting on cocksucker blues , called it\ndefinitely one of the best movies about rock and roll i ' ve ever seen . . . . it makes you think being a rock and roll star is one of the last things you ' d ever want to do .\namen to that . one has the feeling these guys are soldiers , waiting for the next battle , the next opportunity to feel alive . in the meantime , there ' s the tedium , confusion , boredom , and good old angst & ennui of being locked into a big money , big stadium , big everything rock tour .\nthe third fallout new vegas dlc is old world blues . the dlc mentions it as an in - universe term for extreme , crippling nostalgia to the point that you can ' t really operate in the here - and - now \u2014 though a good karma ending has it evolve into a more positive term , with greater respect for the potential of old world blues to turn to new world hope ( an evil karma ending solidifies the old meaning and pairs it with new world misery ) .\ndefenders rally with claims of dionysian splendor and excess , bacchanalia , the ubiquitous proclamations of sexdrugsrockandroll , the stones doing what the stones do best . trust neither camp . in some ways , cocksucker blues is \u201cworse\u201d than its detractors insist - - but for reasons that will make your heart come crashing down in your chest , rather than tinted prints and poor sound . as a film , it\u2019s a bleak journey , shocking in ways even its boosters probably weren\u2019t prepared to be shocked . no need to abandon all hope as such as we begin , but if you\u2019re skittish , probably best if you can do with leaving some of that behind . and reservations too . temporarily , like .\ncocksucker blues is named after a notorious stones recording \u2013 just piano and singer mick jagger , in x - rated lonely - boy agony \u2013 that the band submitted as a final fuck - you single to their original , despised british label , decca . ( it was rejected . ) the song , heard early in frank\u2019s movie , is blunt and drab . so are the open sex and flagrant drug use that follow . the main shock is how little pleasure or high anyone gets from the action : the groupies , who are basically paying their fare for a place in the stones\u2019 orbit ; the druggies , who speak the kind of slurred disconnected nonsense that only other users think is hip and wise ; and most of all , the stones themselves .\nmick jagger , left , and keith richards at nellcote , richards ' villa on the french riviera where the rolling stones recorded\nexile on main st .\n- - the classic stones disc that led to the tour documented in robert frank ' s film\n( expletive ) blues .\n( dominique tarle )\nloses his car keys and maybe his mind . \u201ci used to do that\u2014when i was younger , i did a lot of stuff . but i also went to school , worked hard . i thought i\u2019d be stuck forever in jersey , so i waitressed at the local diner and did drugs . i didn\u2019t know there was anything else . then i began listening to wfmu free - form radio , and it told me there was another world . i heard patti smith , queen when they were nobody , the ramones when there were two people in the audience , the new york dolls with andy warhol at the next table , went to see them at cbgb\u2019s and max\u2019s kansas city , and then the edge felt more normal . that\u2019s why i have such a reaction to \u2018cocksucker blues . \u2019 i lost a lot of friends to drugs . it disturbs me to see it . \u201d\nthere is hardly such thing as an underground movie anymore \u2014 except , perhaps , for the ones that have to go underground because they aren\u2019t allowed to be shown . the rough , grainy , outlaw king of those is \u201cc\u2014sucker blues . \u201d not because you can never see it , but because on the rare occasions when you can , it [ \u2026 ]\nalternately titled \u201cschoolboy blues , \u201d this was recorded when the stones were leaving decca records to start their own label , but decca demanded one more single to fulfill the contract . the stones recorded this as that single knowing that decca could never release it . the funny thing is , it\u2019s actually quite a good song , if you don\u2019t mind the profanity . a story about a young boy looking for sex in london and the acoustic guitar makes it quite haunting .\nif you like yaya ' s ( which stones fan doesn ' t recognize it as their best playing ? ) you have to get the stones live stuff from 72 . . . . . cock sucker blues has some of that on the tape . . . . . it ' s part of the holy grail of the stones that mick and keith won ' t release because mick taylor proves to be the best part of the show . . . . . . . sad and true .\nthere is hardly such thing as an underground movie anymore \u2014 except , perhaps , for the ones that have to go underground because they aren\u2019t allowed to be shown . the rough , grainy , outlaw king of those is \u201cc\u2014sucker blues . \u201d not because you can never see it , but because on the rare occasions when you can , it has acquired the aura of an unholy testament : the ultimate down and dirty peek behind the curtain of 1970s rock & roll excess . it\u2019s the time capsule that keeps on giving because it\u2019s still semi - buried .\ngroupies , scalpers , hangers - on , pool players , drugs , the press all feature heavily in this world , so you\u2019d think the action would be bouncing off the walls , but stasis dominates . an expressive stagnation , blues conjured from the ordinary , like the activities one dreams up to pass the time , which was really what exile on main street was all about . realizing that there was a vast , fascinating rift between what was taking shape as a tour film and the music played on the tour itself , frank did all he could to contrast extremes in his final cut : there\u2019s sex , there\u2019s drugs , there\u2019s music , and in the instances when there isn\u2019t some sense of boredom , the everyday ordinary , you can be sure the doldrums follow in the next scene .\ncleveland , ohio - - the rolling stones have been the subject of countless films . there\u2019s one mick and keith do not want you to see .\nrobert frank ' s unvarnished documentary chronicles the rolling stones ' 1972\nexile on main st .\ntour . not just the show \u2013 the drugs , the sex , the debauchery and the backstage boredom that leads to such excess .\nmick & the boys found it so embarrassing that they stopped it from being released \u2013 even though they were the ones that commissioned it in the first place .\nit\u2019s one thing to have sympathy for the devil ;

former rolling stone reporter robert greenfield , who wrote the book s . t . p . about the \u201972 tour , reported that frank approached a groupie and said , \u201cwe want a chick to fuck someone on the plane for the movie . \u201d\nthings might have remained at an impasse had keith richards not been arrested on drug charges in toronto last february . a week later , legal papers were served on frank at his home in mabou mines , nova scotia . an affadavit filed by jagger said the film subjected the stones to \u201cscorn and ridicule\u201d and that frank had distorted events through editing and included in the film events which are private to the rolling stones . \u201d\nfrank told the star he felt the stones instituted legal action because the film could hurt richards\u2019 trial ( december 2nd in toronto ) . they finally reached an out - of - court settlement may 17th . according to frank , the stones ( besides allowing eventual release of the film ) agreed to pay $ 100 , 000 to cover all legal fees .\nreached at his home , frank was reluctant to talk . \u201cit\u2019s settled , that\u2019s all . i haven\u2019t really thought too much about where i\u2019ll show it . i guess i\u2019ll show it in montreal , maybe the pacific film archive [ in berkeley ] . i think it\u2019s good . \u201d\nwe want to hear from you ! send us a tip using our anonymous form .\n\u00a9 copyright 2018 rolling stone , llc , a subsidiary of penske business media , llc . powered by urltoken vip\n\u201clook to your left , look to your right , \u201d metropolitan museum of art curator jeff rosenheim said saturday when he introduced one of these rare events in new york as part of the museum\u2019s robert frank film series . \u201cone of you might be robert frank . \u201d ( frank never did make himself known . )\ngo inside the rolling stones\u2019 1969 tour in behind - the - scenes photos .\nas fans filed into the museum\u2019s theater , exile on main street \u2018s boozy \u201ccasino boogie\u201d played on the house stereo , and rosenheim speculated from a podium as to why the stones tried to ban the film . his theory : they weren\u2019t worried about being allowed back into the states as jagger told the director , but disliked the film because it took fans behind the curtain , revealing the depression and loneliness behind the glamour of the road .\nafter displaying blown - up slides of the exile on main street cover art ( also shot by frank ) , rosenheim warned , \u201ci hope you are all ready for misogyny , boredom and ecstasy \u2014 stupor and exhaustion . \u201d and with that , the film began .\nearly scenes depict the band in a dingy rehearsal space , jamming on \u201cyou can\u2019t always get what you want . \u201d the black - and - white camera shows a table of leftover cocaine lines and hangs on charlie watts , whose eyes are intense as he pounds away on his kit while a rail - thin mick jagger shouts the last few choruses in his direction .\nthe documentary portrayed the tour as tumultuous . a shirtless ( and toothless ) richards plays a boogie - woogie piano vamp with track marks covering his left arm . bill wyman looks a zombie in his appearance on the dick cavett show .\nin an infamous scene , a roadie has sex with a reluctant - looking groupie on a plane while the band bangs on percussion instruments . the met audience collectively gasped once , at a scene where a young groupie sits on a hotel room bed and injects her arm with heroin .\nhow \u2018won\u2019t you be my neighbor ? \u2019 has given birth to mr . rogers fever\nstill the musical performances were electrifying though gritty , the camera sound natural and unmixed . the band duets with stevie wonder on a motown - style medley of \u201cuptight\u201d and \u201csatisfaction . \u201d between songs , a john belushi - sized horn player takes a swig from a whiskey bottle and spins back to his mic .\nmark halperin , a 59 - year - old fan , said he saw the stones on the same tour when he was in college and sees the film as an early predictor of reality tv . \u201ceveryone was trying to be outrageous as possible , \u201d he said , \u201cas long as there\u2019s a camera in your face . \u201d\nmick jagger , ronnie wood , keith richards and charlie watts of the rolling stones .\nfrank , now 88 , is a swiss - born photographer and filmmaker whose jarring hyper - realist portraiture \u2013 a product of unusual cropping , light and focus \u2013 made him a beat - culture hero . jack kerouac wrote the introduction to the 1959 american edition of frank\u2019s book , the americans ;

( 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 .

) 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 ?

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 -

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 -

( gay - marriage advocates said the lawsuit stemmed from the state ' s anti - discrimination law and had nothing to do with the legal status of marriage . ) the same - sex marriage proponents responded by including more blue - collar messengers in their ads .\ninstead , the group is focused on the upcoming supreme court cases on the defense of marriage act and proposition 8 . it is lobbying congress to repeal the defense of marriage act , and considering legislative campaigns in delaware , hawaii , illinois , new jersey , rhode island -

- maine , washington , maryland , and minnesota - - took the side of gay marriage in ballot referenda . the improbable sweep for an issue that spent decades as an across - the - board political loser has already changed the landscape for gay rights in america - - and could provide a new framework for other causes : the leaders of other social movements , such as the campaign for gun control , are already studying the methods behind the gay - marriage campaigners ' victory .\nin survey after survey , researchers would ask people what marriage meant to them - - not gay marriage , but the concept of marriage itself . and the answers were always the same : marriage meant love and commitment . even people who ' d been divorced three times would say the same thing . then the researchers would ask ,\nwhy do you think gay people want to get married ?\nand the answers would change : they want rights and benefits . they ' re trying to make a political point . they don ' t understand what marriage is really about . most commonly , respondents said they simply didn ' t know .\nin maine , canvassers learned to begin each of these conversations with two precisely scripted , research - based questions . they first asked voters how they felt about marriage for same - sex couples . what came next was a question the campaigners called the\nmarriage three way .\nwith voters who said they were supportive of same - sex marriage , the canvasser drilled down , asking if they supported marriage or merely some other form of recognition , such as civil unions , for same - sex couples . it might have seemed superfluous to press voters who ' d already said they were supporters , but the research had shown that some people who claimed to be in favor of same - sex marriage still preferred civil unions .\nthese voters ,\nan internal training document for canvassers explained ,\nare susceptible to the opposition ' s messages .\nmediterranean geopolitics aside , there ' s a lot more light than shade in grounds for marriage . kavallaris offsets the tragic aspect of penelope ' s story with romantic subplots and a supporting cast of quirky sit -

american voters had often broken with their liberal brethren when it came to same - sex marriage , a discrepancy usually attributed to the influence of black churches . it was also part of a deliberate strategy by gay - marriage opponents . in an internal memo unearthed in march as part of a court case , the national organization for marriage outlined a strategy\nto drive a wedge between gays and blacks .\nthis fissure was particularly ugly in california , where , in the aftermath of the prop 8 vote , many gay activists and white liberals blamed african - american voters for their side ' s defeat .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1951 , sec . 3 and sch . , for \u201cin and for that part b state or country\u201d .\ngrow and strengthen your relationships in your marriage , family , at work , with customers , anyone , by learning and practicing these skills .\nwith the wedding guests making their way home - no doubt nursing several sore heads - it looks like workmen have started to take apart the \u00a3100 , 000 marquee that housed the reception in the grounds of the middleton family home .\nas the campaigns entered their final stretch in late october , the marriage campaigners waited for new opposition tactics they ' d have to scramble to respond to - - and waited , and waited . but almost everything went almost exactly according to the same playbook that schubert , who had been retained by the national organization for marriage to manage all four state ballot campaigns , had laid out back in 2009 .\nwe kept waiting for them to zag , and they just kept zigging ,\nsilk said .\n( f ) a is tried for the murder of b . the fact that b prosecuted a for libel and that a was convicted and sentenced is relevant under section 8 as showing the motive for the fact in issue .\nafter law school , wolfson worked first as a prosecutor in the brooklyn district attorney ' s office , then for the independent counsel investigating the iran - contra affair . meanwhile , on legal pads late into the night , he wrote pro bono briefs for the lambda legal fund , which litigates on behalf of gay rights . he worked on discrimination cases involving aids patients and helped sue the boy scouts on behalf of gay youths . eventually , he went to work for lambda full time . all the while , he kept thinking about , and arguing for , marriage . wolfson was co - counsel on the hawaii supreme court case that , in 1993 , became the first - ever victory for same - sex marriage in an american court . but the ruling merely spurred voters and the state legislature to quickly find new ways to outlaw gay marriage in hawaii - - the first of the voter - approved anti - gay - marriage state constitutional amendments .\nin each of the four states where gay marriage was on the ballot , constructing broad coalitions and showcasing them would be crucial . the idea was to show voters that supporters of gay marriage could be churchgoers , or minorities , or even republicans . in the washington state campaign , for example , republican state legislators starred in some ads that emphasized a libertarian message .\nno . not in georgia anyway . as georgia divorce attorneys we have often found that it is a common misnomer that failure to consummate a marriage is grounds for an annulment . although this may be true in some states , just as laws concerning other areas of the law vary from state to state , divorce and other domestic relations laws often vary from state to state too . in fact , it is very common for divorce laws to vary widely between states . this is why it is imperative for those considering divorce in georgia to consult an attorney who is familiar with the specific requirements and distinctions in georgia divorce law .\nthis book is great for newly weds and those who have made the marriage trek for many years . you can open up your heart to the opness of thier hearts as they share their hard earned wisdom and grace . breath fresh life into your tired marrage , it can become great . michele from butte\n( i ) a applies to b for a debt due to a by sending a receipt for the money . b keeps the receipt and does not send the money . in a suit for the amount , a may prove this .\nwhen wolfson founded freedom to marry in 2003 , gay marriage was not yet legal in any u . s . jurisdiction . for years , it was a small - budget nonprofit that chiefly served as a platform for his own speeches and advocacy . but after the electoral defeats in california in 2008 and maine in 2009 , he realized the group needed to be something more . part of the reason gay marriage kept losing , he saw , was that it was constantly on the defensive . gay - marriage opponents , often backed by the republican party and catholic and evangelical churches , would methodically mobilize activists , collect signatures , and put gay - marriage bans on the ballot ; state - level activists who supported gay marriage would then have a few months to assemble an ad - hoc defense , scrambling to raise money and come up with a message in an effort that was inevitably too little , too late . the gay - rights movement had a variety of national groups devoted to causes like workplace rights and gays in the military , but there wasn ' t a single , national organization campaigning only for same - sex marriage .\na short , round , bald , slightly nebbishy presence , wolfson , ironically enough , resembles more than anything a new york divorce attorney . ironically , because marriage has been the consuming obsession of wolfson ' s life and career . nearly three decades ago , for his final paper at harvard law school in 1983 , wolfson wrote about same - sex marriage , a topic his professors regarded as exotic to the point of eccentricity . ( the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians wasn ' t totally new - - three gay - marriage lawsuits had been filed in american courts by 1971 , two years after the stonewall riots - - but they ' d been essentially laughed out of court , and few in legal circles saw reason to revisit the issue . )\na may prove these facts for the reasons stated in the last proceeding illustration .\nthe existence of the judgment is relevant , as showing motive for a crime .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201cthe british crown\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201cin any province\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201ca british consul\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1937 , for \u201cgovernment of india\u201d .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1891 , sec 8 , for \u201cresident in\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 9 , for \u201cwhen\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 9 , for \u201con\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 10 , for \u201ccriminal\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 11 , for \u201chad\u201d .\nvideo conferencing in indian courts ? | stand up for a cause . . .\nfor now , we\u2019ll just have to use our imaginations about what that was .\ntwo pastors , a catholic archbishop , and a nun said the bill offended them on moral grounds , but a rabbi , a unitarian minister and a lutheran bishop spoke for the other side , in favor of the measure . another man accused the bill ' s backers of\npromoting homosexuality ,\ndestroying families , and spreading aids .\na german noblewoman enters into a loveless marriage with the dim - witted , unstable heir to the russian throne , then plots to oust him from power .\nbut prior to november , gay marriage had been placed on 31 state ballots - - and voted down 31 times . even in blue states like california ( 2008 ) and maine ( 2009 ) , defeat was universal . to opponents of gay marriage , that perfect record had become a powerful talking point - - proof that american voters stood firmly against any redefinition of the fundamental societal institution .\nthe people of this country have not changed their view that marriage is the union of a man and a woman ,\nbrian brown , president of the national organization for marriage , told me in august .\nthe only poll that counts is the vote , and we ' ve never lost the vote .\nthe opposition also seemed to be trying very hard to provoke confrontation . anti - gay - marriage demonstrators with large signs went to the gayest neighborhoods in seattle , apparently trying to draw some kind of response . on october 14 , a gay - marriage supporter tore a sign off a woman ' s car , yelled at her , and shoved a bystander . the man was arrested ; the gay - marriage campaign strongly condemned the attack ; the opponents sought to play it up as proof they were being persecuted . as a tactic , the move seemed to the gay - marriage advocates to signal desperation and a lack of financial resources .\nguests attend a wedding reception at the general headquarters officers\u2019 club , tokyo , after the marriage of raaf squadron leader d a s morgan and his bride , the former anne francoise de la chevalerie . lieutenant general ( lt gen ) h c h robertson , commander in chief of bcof ( third from left ) , who acted as the groom\u2019s father in receiving guests , speaks to unidentified guests in the grounds of the club .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1891 , sec . 6 , for section 54 .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for para ( 1 ) .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1948 , for \u201ccourts of british india\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1937 , for \u201cby order of government\u201d .\nsubs . by a . o . 1950 , for \u201cany country not forming part\u201d .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1887 , sec . 1 , for section 125 .\nacting as maid of honour for kate\u2019s royal wedding to prince william back in april 2011 \u2013 she made a name for herself as one of the country\u2019s most stylish socialites .\nplease call the bidwell mansion at ( 530 ) 895 - 6144 for more information .\nsonoma state historic park near downtown sonoma can accommodate 200 guests ( standing ) in the mission chapel . the adjacent mission courtyard provides space for 300 for a reception . the barracks courtyard is similar venue available for outdoor functions . the vallejo home and gardens a half mile west of the mission provides a lovely garden location for up to 200 guests .\nschubert and his allies were outspent several times over - - in the final tally across all four states , the pro - gay - marriage campaigns spent nearly $ 42 million versus about $ 11 million on schubert ' s side . to schubert , the lopsided finances showed that his losses had more to do with money than public sentiment . but to gay - marriage backers , they were proof of the draining enthusiasm for banning gay marriage .\nthey are running out of money to fight this ,\nsaid margaret hoover , a republican pundit , great - granddaughter of herbert hoover , and vocal gay - marriage advocate .

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 - c pd sd tf 3 . 5mm reader slot 3 . 5mm for macbook pro\ntransferring data at speeds of up to 40gb / s , which is two times faster than thunderbolt 2 and eight times faster than usb 3 , thunderbolt 3 delivers the fastest connection to any dock , display , or device . you can also daisy - chain up to six thunderbolt devices through a single port without needing a hub or a switch . so connecting a storage device to your computer , and then a display to your storage device , works as it\u2019s meant to \u2014 with powerful throughput . 2\nat right is a detailed plot by warren sarkinson showing the behavior of a stock thunderbolt with 3 . 00 firmware , trimble - labelled ocxo , and tweaked disciplining parameters under\nthe claim that fred hammered on the tollkeeper ' s door , that the tollkeeper said ,\nby god , i thought it must have been a thunderbolt\n, and that fred pointed a pistol at the innkeeper ' s head and said\ni am the thunder and this my bolt\n, is merely part of the thunderbolt mythology .\nhowever , it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see specialized adapters and hubs that preserve the thunderbolt chain while branching off to provide usb , firewire , ethernet , video , or audio connections . these could range from simple , t - 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 -

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 -

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 - tank gun to break into the vault . the technology is very dated but the acting and story are what really drive this movie .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

read . i found it to be very disappointing .\nour relationship was in a category so different from any previous ones that i knew no name for it . i thought of my last\ngreat love\nfor the unattainable waldo , who wrote me from a battleship in the pacific ,\nshall i make a terrible confession to you ? i despise all women .\nand this complacent boast which he was pleased to call a confession made me ache with pitying tenderness for him , as if he had shown me a wound . it became my wound and it was still festering .\ni received a copy of this book through goodreads ' first reads program . this was a look at two different families in turkey during the early part of the 20th century . there is a fairly large cast of characters , i found the family trees in the book very useful , and used them for reference more than once . the story itself is twofold : part of it tells how the the author ' s parents met , the other part tells of her muslim turkish aunt ' s love for a forbidden christian armenian boy . i really enjoyed read\nhis first letter , posted from the azores to reach me by my birthday , ended :\ni am loving you with heart and mind .\nthat was a present , wasn & apos ; t it , i asked myself . enclosed in his next letter , from bremerhaven , were three dollars\nfor a pint of rum\nat christmas . he had been chary of the porous sop\ni love you\nlong before our troubles began .\ni found myself extremely disappointed in this book , enough that i had to dnf @ page 101 . it got to the point that i dreaded picking up the book ; i even dreaded just the mere thought of the book . a part was i was just bored with it , but i had such high expectations that when they crashed and burned , i was bummed . the story of a forbidden love between an armenian boy and muslim girl in a 1920s turkey going through so much societal change and revolution is storytelling gold . the fact that it came fr\nonce by the fitful light of his cigarette he told me of a luxury brothel in paris to which a well - heeled friend had treated him . the girl assigned to him was a marvel , she\ndanced love .\nanxious to learn , i asked how this was done , but he must have sensed that he had said enough . his memories , even only reveries , of incomparable women , made me feel like a hulking hobbledehoy . at such moments i acted like one . in my confusion i bought an unbecoming dress , i walked clumsily .\nsabahat , a beautiful young muslim woman , is known in her family for her intelligence , drive , and stubbornness . she believes there is more in store for her life than a good marriage and convinces her parents to let her pursue her education , rare for young turkish women in the 1920s . but no one\u2014least of all sabahat herself\u2014expects that in the course of her studies she will fall for a handsome armenian student named aram .\n\u201cthis is a sign of open defiance\u2014but it\u2019s completely legal , \u201d says lim jialiang . i\u2019m sitting next to him

filled with the horror and senselessness of the war .\ni enjoyed this book mostly because it was deeper than so many books out there today . the author writes with intelligence and beautiful word and sentence usage . i loved learning about such a fascinating country as turkey in a time of complete change and turnover of history . my only trouble with this book was the numerous characters to try to remember and keep in order of who they are in relation to the others . because the names are not typical ( in english ) it is often difficult to understand at first if the person is even male or female . that frustrated me at first , but i hung in there and was ever so glad i did as it was a book worth reading !\nfueling the excessive behavior at nellcote was a huge stash of drugs , many

the - field behavior . along with albert finney , harris was one of the first british actors to be influenced by the work of marlon brando and the techniques developed by the actors studio , and it would not be wrong to think of the character of frank as a descendant of stanley kowalski . like many of their contemporaries in the era of the angry young man , both anderson and harris were also steeped in italian neorealism , another strong influence on the film ' s style and tone . while anderson would go on to produce more cerebral and explicit critiques of british society , none of his other films approach this one in terms of raw emotional power .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his . . .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his directorial debut with 16 years of alcohol , the stylized psychological drama based on his own semi -

eighth birthday , but seemed to pass by unnoticed according to reactions the next day . in fact the audience figures for the whole series were low , but largely thanks to charles maxwell\u2019s support , it lasted six months . the shows settled into a format which was to see them through the next five series as well , and already familiar characters emerged , such as dick bentley\u2019s poet who always began his monologue with the strangulated cry \u201coh mavis ! \u201d , and joy\u2019s husky - voiced miss arundel , who interpreted every remark as a reference to her red - blooded fianc\u00e9 , gilbert .\nmuir & norden delighted in puns , and later continued to indulge with their own radio show my word . tifh scripts were liberally injected with exchanges such as this between king henry viii and his valet : \u2018cornelius , i must find a man who is minded to show his fealty towards me\u2019 \u2013 \u2018me , your majesty , me ! no man is more fealty - minded than i am ! \u2019 . another favourite mirth - raiser was the personal reference , and not a show went by without a gag about dick\u2019s age . so there was jimmy unable to count the candles on dick\u2019s birthday cake because the heat drove him back , jimmy agreeing that dick is his oldest friend : \u2018there are friends i\u2019ve known longer , but you\u2019re the oldest ! \u2019 , and in tifh\u2019s contribution to a special gala radio show for the coronation , dick is informed that he was asked to attend because he is the only actor on the bbc who\u2019s been an elizabethan both times ! jim , of course , also comes in for a serve , common topics being his girth and his nasal appendages . in one opening , joy is praising window boxes with flowers in full bloom : \u2018it must be lovely to lean out of the window and have a mass of sweet smelling foliage growing right under your nose , jimmy\u2019 \u2013 \u2018aren\u2019t you being rather personal , dear ? \u2019\nother program conventions such as the trite theme song and the staid closing credits were perverted : the tifh theme boasted that this was the show with \u2018every minute packed with seconds\u2019 , and the announcements at the end were of the ilk : \u2018frank muir & denis norden wrote the script in a weekend and charles maxwell produced it in a weak moment\u2019 , or for a special broadcast from the naval barracks at portsmouth : \u2018charles maxwell captained the crew , while frank muir and denis norden as usual pumped the bilge\u2019 . amongst the closing credits was the name herbert mostyn , which was not in fact a real person but rather the middle names of frank and denis respectively and represented their contributions , reading odd lines or taking on regular small parts .\nwith increasing popularity during the third series , impresario jack hylton suggested that the show could transfer to the stage , and the three stars appeared at the top of a variety bill at the victoria palace for a short while before moving to the prince of wales theatre . after a summer season at blackpool , the show opened at the adelphi in london on 31st october 1950 under the negotiated title take it from us . it was a spectacular production with a troupe of chorus girls , an adagio act , lavish sets , solo spots for joy , dick and jimmy ( the latter with assistance from his euphonium ) and a finale sketch \u2018friends , romans , countrymen\u2019 or \u2018what a sphinx ! \u2019 , adapted by future carry on script -

up and establishment of pov occur in the most dramatic sequence in the sheep thief . the pov of the film is fixed in this sequence that is defined and framed by the two shots of the boy lying unconscious on the sand . the pov of the boy finds its fixed form during the climax of the sequence as the thief hits his opponent\u2019s eye and blinds him . though the sheep thief is not a film that in any way questions conventional cinematic codes or the position of the spectator , it provides an interesting solution to the problem of establishing the protagonist\u2019s pov , in this case through the destruction of another pov . the action reduces the possibilities for identification . the spectator\u2019s pov is established with a violence that is absent in the rest of the film . this sharpens our sensibility to the new world that opens to the thief and to us as spectators . at one and the same time , the dramatic moment in the set - up limits the possibilities for identification and opens the spectator\u2019s eyes to the thief\u2019s special world .\nblood tests taken from lambs born from the sheep had corresponding genetic links to rams from the victim\u2019s farm .\nin the fictitious universe of the sheep thief , the protagonist is literally making the sky cry . he is the boy whose words come true . situated in the space between the realistic and the mythic plane , he binds the two together . like the water meeting on his face , he is a figure of transgression and mediation , reconciling binary opposites : always on the edge of society , the sheep thief connects the social world with the individuality of the outcast , belonging with loneliness , and wrong ( stealing ) with right ( doing magic ) .\nal walker utilizes the parable of the sheep thief and the character of mr . taylor , a successful corporate board member and mentor , to remind us that anyone , anywhere can make a positive change in life .\ntruly , truly , i say to you , he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep , but climbs up some other way , he is a thief and a robber .\nthe protagonist in the sheep thief is caught in the act of stealing a sheep , is branded on the forehead and expelled from society . the film is centred around his subsequent struggle to achieve social acceptance and recognition , and it largely obeys the laws and design of classical narration as it portrays the young indian boy\u2019s efforts and eventuallyhis final fall . with a plot that easily summarised it is evident that the sheep thief doesn\u2019t invest its 23 minutes in a complex narrative structure . hence the question arises as to how time is spent in this production .\nkapadia\u2019s film is entitled the sheep thief , which almost automatically leads one\u2019s thoughts to vittorio de sica\u2019s neorealistic classic , the bicycle thief from 1947 . kapadia\u2019s film , like de sica\u2019s , is shot on location , the dialogue is minimal and children and other amateur actors are seen in the leading parts . at the same time , the sheep thief tells a tragic and stark story about the absolutely lowest level of indian existence , while never losing sight of the beauty and possibilities inherent in this existence . as a story , the sheep thief has all the classical neorealistic virtues . the film can be seen as an adventure in a poor but beautiful india and as an illustration of the mechanisms that turn a boy into a thief . it is important to keep in mind that the quality of the film lies in its way of interweaving these problems with a simple plot , but what lifts it beyond just being good and sympathetic craftsmanship is its ambiguity . the richness in nuance is especially obvious in the description of the thief\u2019s character and his development .\n- - the former of these words means the petty thief who commits the smaller or unobserved robbery . the latter means the brigand or highwayman , and is applied ,\npossibly inspired by the younger brother , the thief steals a golden lamp from a local temple . some young men from the village follow him and beat him up . an elderly man observes the attack and as he approaches the scene the attackers hurry away . the thief succeeds in turning the situation to his own advantage . he gives the lamp to the elderly man and tells him that he was trying to prevent the others from stealing it . the sheep thief is suddenly hailed as a hero . after that , the selling of the mangoes becomes a prosperous business .\nfinally , after having been approved by the village counsel the sheep thief is caught up by his past in the shape of the man who had branded him \u2013 an incarnation of destiny . eventually the protagonist\u2019s fate is fulfilled . he must obey \u2019the law of gravity\u2019 .\nshe discovered two things by this sight . one was that the sheep thief was only stealing the sheep in order to survive , not just for some fun or entertainment . the sheep thief only took what he had needed for that day to survive . two , that he was a young man about her age and suffering like this . that any one even herself could have ended up like this . trying to survive and fighting for her life every day . surviving in a small area of the woods in order to eat he had to steal sheep . the world was no longer perfect for lise .\nin lise\u2019s eye was finally reviled though what the reader see at the beginning . it also proved the point that the sheep thief only took what was needed , and nothing more . the ring that once meant so much to her was now as worthless as the handkerchief .\nall who came before me were thieves and robbers , but the sheep did not listen to them .\nonce a thief , now a king , eugenides knows the palace of attolia better than anyone , even his wife , the queen .\nof course the protagonist is more than just a construction in a film like the sheep thief . however it is still possible to extract some essential components from the figure . the main character in the film is , first and foremost , a child and a thief . he is therefore , by definition , both innocent and guilty . the character\u2019s inner drive is embedded in this simple antagonism .\nmaybe out of pity for the sheep thief she held out her most precious item , her wedding ring . \u201cbut he did not take the ring . as she let it go it dropped to the ground as her handkerchief had done . \u201d\nso he said to them again , \u201ctruly , truly , i tell you , i am the gate for the sheep .\nthe tale falls into three parts . ( 1 ) a flock of sheep disappear one by one . ( 2 ) tiger , or his equivalent , puts on the animal ' s skin in order to catch the thief . ( 3 ) the thief is caught , but escapes his captor ; or he provides a substitute ; or he is pursued and takes refuge in the roof .\na young boy gets caught stealing a sheep and is shaved of all his hair and branded with a mark on his forehead so that everyone will know that he is a thief and not to be trusted . dumped in the desert , the thief covers his marking with a headscarf and goes to the nearest village where he is taken in by a trusting family in return for his work . however , has be actually changed or is he still the same thief at heart ?\nzee takes a look at this new and enhanced version of sheep & thief , a light drafting game for families . buy great games at urltoken find more reviews and videos at urltoken bgg link : urltoken\n10 : 1 - 5 here is a parable or similitude , taken from the customs of the east , in the management of sheep . men , as creatures depending on their creator , are called the sheep of his pasture . the church of god in the world is as a sheep - fold , exposed to deceivers and persecutors . the great shepherd of the sheep knows all that are his , guards them by his providence , guides them by his spirit and word , and goes before them , as the eastern shepherds went before their sheep , to set them in the way of his steps . ministers must serve the sheep in their spiritual concerns . the spirit of christ will set before them an open door . the sheep of christ will observe their shepherd , and be cautious and shy of strangers , who would draw them from faith in him to fancies about him .\nthe fact that mak and gill so adamantly claim that the sheep they have stolen is their child seems to imply that they themselves are sheep ( because only a sheep can give birth to a sheep , right ? ) run astray . considering they are thieves ( or at least mak is ) this is an easy comparison to make . the newborn jesus is to be their shepherd . the angel summons the three shepherds to meet the infant jesus because they share a common profession . he summons his flock of shepherds because , like vincent pointed out , they believe in forgiveness , a common tenet of christianity . they seek out the sheep gone astray ( their literal sheep as well as mak and gill ) and ask the human sheep to admit their crime . they simply ask for a confession , another feature familiar to the catholic faith .\nif sigismund would forget about his sheep to come and find her . \u201csigismund would look for her in all directions ; he would be unable to understand what had come of her and for a minute a short minute\u2026 . \u201d lise wanted sigismund to worry about her just like he had worried about the sheep . by doing this she encountered the sheep thief in her small void . \u201cas she rose looked into the face of a man that was already in the shelter . \u201d\njesus said : i tell you for certain only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen .\ni tell you the solemn truth , the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door , but climbs in some other way , is a thief and a robber .\nthe bicycle is however replaced by a sheep both as a main motif and in the title , as a reminder that kapadia\u2019s film is located in india , primarily dealing with indian society . the sheep thief evidently draws inspiration from indian culture and film culture . a fact which is reflected , for instance , by the simplicity of the thoroughly composed pictures , the pronounced and sensuous colour scheme , the mythic condensed universe and the deliberately naive use of symbols .\nbut when the family tries to sell the fruit at the village market , no one is interested in buying their produce . the younger of the two brothers asks the thief if he can help them by using his magic .\n[ the men ] were arrested and charged for possession of suspected stolen items . the nissan 1400 bakkie and sheep were confiscated .\n. the difference between a thief and a robber , with the jews , was , that the former took away a man ' s property privately , and the latter openly ( p ) .\nthe two brothers were likable , but undisciplined , with a wild streak in them . their mischievous behavior turned serious when they began stealing sheep from the local farmers\u2014a serious crime in this pastoral place , so long ago and far away . in time , the thieves were caught . the local farmers decided their fate : the two brothers would be branded on the forehead with the letters st for \u201csheep thief . \u201d this sign they would carry with them forevermore .\nat the same time , we have a character who tries to hide his true identity . the main character\u2019s hidden identity gives the film its tension and suspense . but at the same time it sets in relief an important aspect of the figure . the protagonist always represents the spectator\u2019s eye and is therefore our main point of entrance into the fiction . the main character mediates between the real world outside and the fiction . the boy in the sheep thief is a stranger , and because of his secret he can never be an integrated part of the world of the family with the mango tree . this again qualifies him as the spectator ' s agent . throughout most of the film , the thief even carries a visible mark signifying this . the red scarf hides his second identity and thereby constitutes itself as sign of the boy\u2019s main conflict and function . this is classical . but the division in the thief\u2019s character also shows up on several levels . the thief is burned by the sun and by the stigma in his forehead , but at the same time , he produces rain and resin . he carries the sign of destruction , but he makes the family business prosper . the thief mediates several conditions and this tension and the development it encourages makes him attractive and open for identification .\namen , amen i say to you : he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbeth up another way , the same is a thief and a robber .\nlater , we shall take a closer look at the ways in which kapadia establishes the point of view of the main character . the establishment of pov is a critical moment in any movie , but as i will try to show , the solution to the problem in the sheep thief is particularly refined . i shall also briefly situate the film with respect to genre . but first , back to the plot :\nbefore leaving the family , however , the protagonist tears his scarf in two and hands the pieces over to the two kids . with pride they tie them around their foreheads , wearing them as a symbol of gratitude and admiration . the sheep thief is thus , in short , a story about a thief turning into a magician and a scarf thereby changing value : from being a piece of cloth used to conceal , it is turned into an emblem of honour .\n( 2 ) the thief - catcher is\nhead - man\nin edwards as in jamaica ; in barker he is a man who comes to town ; in wona , he is tacoomah ; in parsons , a lion gets in with the sheep and is taken as the plumpest of them .\nin most solemn truth i tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door , but climbs over some other way , is a thief and a robber .\ni can make the sky cry\nthe protagonist tells the younger boy in the family at the market and plays a simple trick on him : he lures him to focus on the sky , then squirts water in his face , thereby giving the illusion that he can perform\nmagic\n. the sheep thief is installed not only as an icon of theft , but also as an icon of magic in the eyes of the two young boys . that is why , when the family has difficulties selling their mangoes at the market , one of the boys asks the protagonist to do magic that will make people buy their fruits . in the following sequence , and almost as an answer to the request , the protagonist heads towards the temple , presumably to pray to higher forces for a miracle . but once again he is overwhelmed by his fate , which is communicated to the spectator by the film\u2019s pov - strategy , where the frame is drawn from the religious icon of the temple to a golden jug . in the next scene , the sheep thief is running away with the jug , his latest object of desire , but he is watched and attacked during his escape . he nevertheless succeeds in holding on to the jug . one of the villagers , who witnesses the scene from a distance , misinterprets the situation and by an almost divine intervention , the protagonist is celebrated as the savior of the jug . in the mythic universe of the sheep thief misdeed is turned into virtue , and thanks to the reputation that subsequently arises around the protagonist and the family which has taken him under their wing , almost everyone in the village makes a pilgrimage to the family booth at the market . the sheep thief has , in a roundabout way , fulfilled the young boy\u2019s request and the dividing line between theft and magic is erased as the former is metamorphosed into the latter .\nin the film , the boy continues to steal but the spectator easily forgives him . we can understand the impossible situation he is in , but empathy is also dependent on the emotional involvement of the spectator . it is , as mentioned , a critical moment in most movies if this identification is well established . in the sheep thief the problem is solved both in an exciting and an effective way .\njohn williams , \u201cthe book thief\u201d steven price , \u201cgravity\u201d william butler and owen pallett , \u201cher\u201d alexandre desplat , \u201cphilomena\u201d thomas newman , \u201csaving mr . banks\u201d\nthe second shepherds\u2019 play intends to make biblical stories interesting to a largely uninformed population , but the play seems to contain a very notable amount of material that had no biblical source . was the nativity scene involving the well - known thief , mak , stealing the shepherd\u2019s sheep and calling it his \u201cbaby\u201d purely for the audience\u2019s entertainment or was there a deeper explanation ?\n\u201ctruly , truly , i tell you , whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate , but climbs in some other way , is a thief and a robber .\n\u201ctimeless truth i speak with you : whoever enters not by the gate to the sheepfold , but comes up from another place , is a thief and a robber . \u201d\nverily , verily , i say unto you , he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbeth up some other way , the same is a thief and a robber .\nverily , verily , i say unto you , he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbs up some other way , the same is a thief and a robber .\ntruly , truly , i say to you , he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold , but climbs up some other way , the same is a thief and a robber .\n\u201cthe farmers who unsuspectingly bought the sheep at market also deserve my thanks and appreciation for their assistance in this investigation along with colleagues from apha for providing the forensic opportunities . \u201d\nthe opening of this short by asif kapadia is overwhelming . under the burning sun , from an olympian high angle shot , we see a young boy lying on the glowing sand on the one side of two wheel - tracks . after the title - sequence we cut back in time . now , at ground level , we see the boy hiding in the dark city night . in front of a house , a sheep is tied up . the boy cautiously crawls out of his hiding - place , unties the sheep and grabs it . the theft is soon discovered and the boy , closely pursued by two men , runs through the narrow alleys of the city carrying the animal in his arms . when one of the pursuers reaches out to grab the sheep thief , the latter suddenly stops and hits him with a primitive weapon . the pursuer is hit in the eye and falls to the ground . the sheep thief finds a hiding place under a house , but when he is about to pick up a coin somebody lost in the street , he is discovered by the second pursuer . the punishment for theft is cruel . the boy gets a stigma burnt onto his forehead . his wild hair is cut and he is left to his fate on the sand outside the city .\nhowever , the artefacts in the sheep thief are not completely detached from a realistic universe . the spectator does not witness a process of de - realisation by aesthetic means . what he does witness , however , is how the film\u2019s stylistic emphasis throws objects into the foreground , thereby giving them additional meaning . they open a door to a mythic plane which coexists alongside the realistic one . therefore the universe of the sheep thief is not a uniform , prosaic one . it is , on the contrary , a world charged with meaning and connectedness . following this line of argument , to be rightfully understood , the artefacts in the film should be interpreted as mediating symbols : present in realistic space , referring to a mythic reality .\na victim - instigated inquiry within the farming community traced 21 of the sheep to llanybydder livestock market within two weeks , where they were bought by unsuspecting farmers .\ntruly , i tell all of you emphatically , the person who doesn ' t enter the sheepfold through the gate , but climbs in by some other way , is a thief and a bandit .\nthe film recounts their arduous trek across the rockcovered mountainside , a grim , doomed , solitary journey with a bitterly ironic conclusion . the motif is reminiscent of \u201cthe bicycle thief\u201d and the rash of neo\u2010realistic postwar italian films , but the documentary\u2010style technique is spare and modern .\n\u201ctruly , truly , i say to you , he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way , that man is a thief and a robber .\nthis magic represents the one glimpse of hope that exists in the sheep thief and at the same time it equips the protagonist with some of the inner tension that makes him interesting as an object of identification . i will later take a closer look at the creation of this figure of identification and in that connection , will naturally focus on the dramatic set - up in the film . but first i will briefly comment on both stylistics and genre relations .\nwarrant officer malebo khosana said police pulled over a bakkie pulling a trailer en route to senekal . it was alleged the sheep were being taken to lesotho .\njohn 10 : 1\ntruly , truly , i tell you , whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate , but climbs in some other way , is a thief and a robber

the sheep thief took second place in the cinefondation awards , and he has been a frequent visitor to the croisette ever since . in 2013 , he attended as an executive producer on amit kumar\u2019s monsoon shootout , which played , as amy will , out of competition in a midnight screenings slot .\nfurthermore , like water , he is a link to fertility and life , which is pointed out in his relation to the family , whose material and spiritual needs he meets . this is very well reflected in the film\u2019s final line , spoken by the mother answering her son\u2019s question as to where the sheep thief has gone :\nto help another family\n, she replies promptly and resolutely .\na patient dyfed - powys police force waited for the sheep to lamb before requesting the animal plant health agency ( apha ) to blood sample lambs , which then linked them to blood samples from the farmer\u2019s ram .\nthe ring by isak dinesen summary a young newlywed couple was going for a walk . they had just been married after ten or so years of secretly seeing each other because the woman ' s , lovisa ' s , parents would not approve . on their walk they come along a sheep master who needs the husband ' s assistance with his sick sheep . while talking with him he tells them of the thief that has been stealing his sheep and murdering people . this interests lovisa a lot . the husband tells lovisa to go home because it might take a while . on her walk home she comes up with a plan to see how much her husband truly cares for her . so she hides in some shrubbery to wait for him to look for her . while she ' s hiding , the thief / murderer appears in the shrubbery . he holds a knife to her neck but then puts it down . she carefully removes her wedding ring to offer for her freedom . she drops it and he kicks it away . she then drops her handkerchief and the thief picks it up and leaves . she goes to her husband and the only thing she tells him is that she lost her wedding ring . literary elements irony : lovisa did not want to have any secrets from her husband but by the end of the story , she kept the biggest secret from him . symbolism : lovisa ' s innocence - white dress and sunhat loss of innocence - lovisa leaves her hat with her husband . foreshadowning : loss on innocence - little red riding hood conflicts man vs . self : lovisa struggle with her change in character throughout the story . man vs . man : lovisa is on conflict with the thief in the shrubbery . theme the theme is that due to a loss of innocence ; one is forced to change . plot diagram exposition : background

and with the thief that causes the conflict . rising action : their walk up until . . . crisis : lovisa gives up her wedding ring to the thief . climax : lovisa sees the thief in the shrubbery with his knife . falling action : the thief leaves her in the shrubbery and she goes to her husband resolution : she tells her husband that she misplaced her wedding ring somewhere but won ' t tell him where\nat the end of the film , we get a pay - off to ensure that the line\ni can make the sky cry\nbecomes almost prophetic in nature : the sheep thief lies on his back on desert rocks , staring into the cloudless sky . the camera focuses on his face and shows the sky\u2019s reflection in his eyes [ 3 ] . we cannot fail to see the tear running down his cheek . in an absolutely non - realistic scenario there is a sudden cloudburst . heavy rain starts pouring down from the blue sky and teardrops and raindrops melt together on the face of the protagonist .\nall kinds of spiritual reasons are given for this campaign of lies , but ultimately it leaves weak believers exposed and unprotected before the \u201cgates of hell\u201d ( matthew 16 : 18 ) , and scatters the sheep away from the fold and the shepherds .\nbut soon the past catches up with the thief . the man who had branded him recognises him at the market , and the next day , the boy is expelled from the village . before he leaves , he divides his red scarf into two strips and gives one to each brother . the three boys lie on the sand outside the city and for a while they look up at the sky . suddenly it starts raining and the two brothers return home . the thief walks on and continues towards an uncertain future .\nto help another family\n, as the mother puts it when she and her two sons work around the mango tree again in the closing scene . and one of the boys replies :\nhe can help them with his magic\n.\nin his\nresearches concerning the book of sindibad\n, pfls 9 : 144 . a rich herder camps beside a village at

watchman is popular in jamaica , especially in st . ann parish , and i have given three versions in order to show the range of variation and the persistence of the essential plot . i have abbreviated white ' s version without other change except the insertion of the incident of the misunderstood warning , which comes from another version and commonly precedes the episode of the\nrefugees in the roof .\nbesides these three versions , wona has the story , 30 - 36 , and in jekyll , 88 , tiger puts on a similar disguise at the conclusion of annancy and candle - fly ( see number 7 ) .\nby several means , the process of falling is established as the centre of attention in the film . in the scene mentioned earlier , in which the family picks fruits for the market , specific emphasis is put on the mangoes\u2019 movement from treetop to ground , which is accentuated by audio - visual means . it is clearly established how the fall of the mangoes can be considered a mise - en - abyme commenting on the boy\u2019s social d\u00e9route . but as the mangoes\u2019 fall proves to be fruitful , so does the sheep thief\u2019s . the development of the protagonist is mirrored by the scar on his forehead , which is transformed from an ugly , inflamed wound attracting flies , into a beautiful rounded sign .\nsheep present a serious problem in \u201cbandits of orgosolo , \u201d the sincerely intended italian drama that arrived yesterday at the paris . a new young director named vittorio de seta has made his film modestly and well , but he never strays far away from his flock . the film is visual , original , poignant and intelligent , but it moves at a sheep ' s pace .\njohannesburg - four men were arrested when they were found in possession of 14 stolen sheep , police in ventersburg , free state , said on sunday .\n,\nin this first verse , our lord ( as in ver . 7 ) meant at once to designate himself . this is not necessary . he rather summons the pharisees to recognize the fact that there is a door , a way of sure and divinely appointed admission to the\nfold of the sheep ,\nthrough which the veritable shepherd passes , bringing his flock with him by well - known voice and manner . later on , our lord claims to be the one way ' by which all under - shepherds can gain true access to the flock , and all the sheep of god ' s pasture can find protection and freedom ; but here he suggests the principle of discrimination between a true shepherd and a thief or robber . the\n) , they had thrust him out from the fold of god . the true shepherd had sought and found this lost sheep , who is now standing near , in his presence and in that of the false shepherds . he teaches who the shepherd and what the flock of god really are .\n( 1 ) the witty opening of the jamaica versions based on a compensation motive ( see numbers 22 and 63 ) , in which the rascal takes advantage of an open - handedness common to aristocratic wealth , does not occur outside jamaica . compare tremearne , fl 21 : 213 - 214 . in parsons , he pleads his wife ' s illness ; in edwards and barker , he is a mere thief . in barker , as in jamaica , the story accepts the absurdity that all the sheep have disappeared except the last .\nis used in this place only , equivalent to\nfrom some other quarter than the ordinary home of the shepherd\n) . his purpose is not to benefit the sheep , but to seize them , or slaughter them for his own purposes (\ni feel as if the nativity scene involving the thief , mak , stealing the shepherd\u2019s sheep and calling it his \u201cbaby\u201d was for the audience\u2019s entertainment , but also had deeper meaning . i agree with someone above that this was during a time that people still didn\u2019t know much about religion and just would have found this humerus , but the author obviously clearly knew the biblical story he was referencing and made it to be funny and made it so the story was more casual while also including a lesson . it also seems as if maybe the author was using mak to explain to the audience christ\u2019s birth .\nlast year , three of the academy\u2019s five best animated feature nominees received annie award nods prior to oscar placement : shaun the sheep movie , anomalisa , and inside out , which ultimately won both the academy award and the annie . the annies and the oscars have awarded the same film in the category 10 times since 2001 \u2013 the year the academy introduced its best animated feature honor . at the 1992 oscars , the annies\u2019 first best animated feature winner , 1991\u2019s beauty

techniques proved he stole 50 pregnant sheep from near ammanford in january 2015 .\nalthough it is the meeting with the friendly family that catalyses the thief\u2019s transition from wild boy to magician , it is obvious that his stigmatization plays a major role in his development . had he not been discovered and literally torn out of the darkness that surrounds him in the beginning , he would never have met the family with the mango tree and there would probably not have been any progression at all .\nis one who would use violent means to secure his purpose ( judas was a\nthief

christmas star announced the birth of jesus ) . in spite of their vigilance , mak manages to steal a lamb . the scene in which mak and his wife , gil , try to pass the lamb off as their newborn baby is some of the best comedy ever written . the play ends with angels greeting baby jesus in the manger .\nin the beginning it clearly represents how lise is young and na\u00efve . not knowing of the danger around her . \u201cit was not a long time since she has played with dolls\u2026 . \u201d as it goes on the reader can quickly discover something wrong with sigismund and lise\u2019s marriage .

for believers in yeshua !\ni think , like many elements in this play , that the scene in which mak steals the sheep is included because of it\u2019s comedic entertainment . including the background story of mak and his wife , along with the stealing and the scene that follows where the shepherds find the stolen sheep , was an attempt to make the story enjoyable for the audience . however , enjoyment was not the only thing that the author intended for the audience to take away from this play . the author would not have made so many biblical and manger - scene references if he wasn\u2019t trying to get across a deeper message . not being fully confident in my thinking about what the exact point the author was attempting to make , i will say that perhaps the author was trying to make the shepherds more personable by showing their vulnerability to mak and the lies that he tells . another point that i think is being shown is that even though mak is able to deceive the shepherds at first , he fails at the end because the three shepherds are able to figure out his wrong - doings .\nfirstly , mobil producing nigeria a subsidiary of exxon mobil is the operator of the nigerian

such as winnie the pooh and more recently eb white ' s stuart little - is that irony is hard to lift off the page . the slower pace of books makes for a richer experience : certainly the message of the book is more empowering to children . sadly , that slower reward may never now be attained , as the novelisation of the film , the scratch -

drug message . this fails because of the aforementioned narrative issues , the film is utterly devoid of any message that resonates with the viewer . most people who like this film appear to foolishly do so because they find it ' cool ' ; much like the bonehead rappers who idolise tony montana in ' scarface ' . to make matters worse , the film also has mawkish lashings of sentimentalism towards the end . the crew had to have known how inferior this film was during production , i can imagine it was exhausting for them to complete the project with any conviction .\nmost of all , it has a star - making performance by yosuke kubozuka who , as sugihara , brings a combination of brash attitude and boyish charm , raw toughness and comic flair . after a decade of looking for its next yusaku matsuda , perhaps the japanese film industry has finally found him .\nso far , so quite like the film . and many of the themes - the friendship between shrek and the donkey , and above all the princess remaining in her ugly , bewitched state because that is beautiful to shrek - are in the film , too . but the balance is different and the message has been subtly altered . steig aimed his book at young children , whose greatest need is for parental love to be unconditional ; it tells them that accepting yourself for what you are is of the utmost importance . shrek remains true to himself , and the hideous , warty princess does too .\none executive told me that he was quite upset that his teenagers had chosen to go to bonnie and clyde rather than with him to closely observed trains . he took it as a sign of lack of maturity . i think his kids made an honest choice , and not only because bonnie and clyde is a good movie , but because it is closer to us , it has some of the qualities of indirect involvement that made us care about movies .\ngittings adds that\nby the end of the interview and the end of the film , lessard makes a personal apology for any problems his actions may have caused .\n( gittings , p . 218 ) this is one of the prime examples of alanis\nfighting back\nin her adult life .\nan exhilirating opening -

provoking films of its year .\nthis is the semi - biographical tale of drug dealer george jung ( depp ) , who grew to be the largest distributor in the united states during the seventies and eighties . the film begins with george living the american dream amidst parents who find potential in excess , and he goes on to make a name for himself on a huge scale to appease them . the entire film feels like a psa against drug addiction and crime , easily digestible for any adverse youths who might stumble upon this while scrolling through cinemax . the ending especially , with its sad sack holier than thou approach , smelled rank of propaganda . depp gives a flat , meandering performance as jung , which only reaches its emotional plateau when his daughter is featured ( roberts ) . the film may be engaging , in the same was as\nscarface\nbut there ' s none of the punch , or unapologetic violence . morality tales often aren ' t thrill rides , and in this case this one is down for maintenance .\nalanis obomsawin is a woman of complexity . her native culture is rooted in the beauty of her early childhood on the odanak reserve and the fight against discrimination and injustice of her teenage years . as a young adult , she became a singer , educator and activist . her work with the national film board , though not without its challenges to a woman and aboriginal filmmaker , has allowed her to further her role , through film , as an educator and advocate for social change , thus living up to her name as a\npathfinder\n. she is a fighter who resonates with compassion and an understanding of the imperfection that underscores what it means to be human :\nbut , as the shakespeare quote (\n. . . a rose by any other name . . .\n) that introduces the film reminds us , it ' s all about words , meanings and contexts . shugihara is telling the story of his love , a love that is intertwined with his very particular circumstances as an outsider .\neverything about this movie impressed me . the script was lean and inventive , the direction stylish without being overblown , the acting top notch . even the shot - on - video cinematography looked great ( with the exception of one or two exterior shots that had a hint of video look to it , most everything else was\nfilmic\nand artistic ) . i also appreciate any horror movie that can generate real tension and suspense from imagination and suggestion rather than relying on lame and lazy tricks that populate most horror movies ( if something as limp as urban legends can be called a horror movie ) . first rate film and i recommend to anyone who appreciates a thinking - man ' s horror film .\nobomsawin calls film a ' place ' where native people can talk to each other about their losses , their memories of injustice , their desire to share what is good about their way of life , and with that sharing as viewers of her documentaries perhaps arrive at a better appreciation of how the dispossessed , dislocated , and disoriented try to come out of the abyss . this social realism is what makes obomsawin narratives potent and cathartic ; they are like the axiom which says one has to deal with the poison before a process of healing can begin . to her as director / producer / writer , film must attempt to transform people and society ; it must be an artifice of social reform .\nthe festival is known for its diverse film offerings : american independent , international cinema , documentaries , experimental and avant -

drug movies that hypocritically glamorize drugs can still be good ) that are also strong character studies go , this film is amazing . the energy is high , the sets , decor , costumes , hairstyles , and soundtrack are excellent , and the performances are mostly really good . it ' s a little hard to buy liotta as depp ' s dad , but it could be worse . depp is phenomenal , suplee is really pretty good , and reubens is just a riot . it seems a little contradictory that he made this about a decade after his infamous\ncrack\npsa , but he does an awesome job here . i find it sadly ironic that this movie makes the lifestyle fun and glamorous , and that the ultimate message is that drugs are bad , but that the director died of cocaine related heart problems . i ' ll admit that this movie is a mess , but i really like it . there ' s a lot of good technique and other stuff on display here , and to me , that makes up for some of its issues . it initially comes off as scorsese light , but ultimately comes into its own eventually . plus , the movie has some hilarious moments and some really great lines . it gets really depressing really fast towards the end , but it ' s mostly a fun ride .\nchihiro and her parents are moving to a small japanese town in the countryside , much to chihiro ' s dismay . on the way to their new home , chihiro ' s father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one - lane road which dead - ends in front of a tunnel . her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area . they go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side , with its own little town . when her parents see a restaurant with great - smelling food but no staff , they decide to eat and pay later . however , chihiro refuses to eat and decides to explore the theme park a bit more . she meets a boy named haku who tells her that chihiro and her parents are in danger , and they must leave immediately . she runs to the restaurant and finds that her parents have turned into pigs . in addition , the theme park turns out to be a town inhabited by demons , spirits , and evil gods . at the center of the town is a bathhouse where these creatures go to relax . the owner of the bathhouse . . .\nfrom this film , obomsawin went on to create another important work , richard cardinal : cry from a diary of a m\u00e9tis child ( 1986 ) , a poignant look at the short life of a m\u00e9tis adolescent who committed suicide after having been shuffled in and out of 28 foster homes and institutions . alanis felt very strongly about what happened to richard , saying ,\ni tell the kids to look at the loss that we have , what a poet he was . he ' s gone . it ' s too bad nobody realized , what happened , how he got there .\n( steven , p . 182 ) the film also provided a penetrating look at the child welfare system in alberta at the time , and it brought about change . says alanis :\nit is this combination of strength and courage to challenge intermingled with compassion that define her as a filmmaker of substance and integrity . similarly , alanis has never wanted to publicize her own challenges as an aboriginal woman filmmaker in the male world of film . rather than speak out on her personal struggles , her priority is to advocate for social change and to bring the voices of aboriginal peoples to the forefront :\none misty morning , liz dunn stumbles down the road to her school and screams for help . a police psychologist gets her to reveal her story : a month earlier : three rebellious teenagers -

( 2002 ) , which depicts the violence and racial tension evident in the political events concerning the new brunswick fisheries near the mi ' kmaq community of esgenoopetitj ( burnt church ) .\nobomsawin ' s films represent a corrective to the historical exclusion of native image in film , the vast majority of it has been created without the consent and most often without the control of the native person whose image is being taken and utilized in media . i really believe alanis is using a medium to provide a voice and a story for a lot of people who historically have not had that opportunity .\nthere is such rubbish on the cable movie channels that i hit a gem with this one . from beginning to end it had me gripped and deserves top marks . father of two sons hears messages from\ngod\nto kill people who he is told are ' demons ' . when the opening credits showed the director as one of the cast that can often be a warning of a bad film ; exceptionally it is the reverse here as the drama is non - stop from beginning to end . and there is not one moment in the movie when one is not fully enthralled as there are no unnecessary or needless sub - plots , and the script is first class . all the actors give wholly convincing performances especially the lead child actor who is exceptional . this film is at least as good as the likes of ' silence of the lambs ' .\nwhen my 14 year old brother was younger , he was very much into the goosebumps books that r . l . stine was cranking out at a very rapid pace . he still has probably 75 or more of them . anyways , being an avid horror fan , and knowing full well the books were geared towards kids , i still gave them a shot . i must say r . l . stine writes like kids are idiots , or they won ' t questions things . his stories are very obvious , predictable , and sometimes down right dumb . . . my little brother quickly out grew the books , but nonetheless , my mother still has them . i can honestly say there were a few i go in to . the haunted mask being one of them . anyway , here we have a made for video movie starring christopher lloyd . he truly is the stare of the film . i must say this one wasn ' t that bad . the story was silly , but still gave a creepy halloween vibe . . . a creepy vide at all , which is missing from most stine ' s stuff . i was very disappointed with the ending . . . however , it is in true stine fashion . my wife and i watched this with my daughter , who is very intelligent , and loves saying\nscary\nin a very deep , almost demonic voice . she did that a lot though this film . she is only 21 months old , but movies like halloween , are more her speed for some reason . anyway , she seemed to like this , and i found it to be a refreshing blend of scare and fun . . . . recommend for any audience . . . decent effects , very colorful , beautiful sets . . . . overall not a bad kids flick ! 8 out of 10 2006 update : my daughter is now 6 years old and still enjoyes watching this film around halloween . it is a tradition during that time of year .\nalanis continues to work for the national film board and has also continued singing and visiting schools , prisons and communities . her best - known recording , bush lady , was released in 1988 . on a more personal note , she has raised her daughter , kisos , who is now in her thirties . she also does etchings , some of which she exhibits publicly from time to time , to help de - stress from the work of the day .\nin 1965 , the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) made a documentary on her performances and her social activism for their telescope program , which brought her to the attention of two national film board producers , wolf koenig and bob verrall . they were working on a documentary on activists and invited her to consult on this and several other projects . by 1967 , she was working on her own projects , including multimedia educational kits for the manowan and l ' hawat tribes .\nelizabeth receives her admission letter to harvard in october , before halloween . ( the party she and donnie have is a halloween party to celebrate her admission . ) however , harvard belongs to the universities that use the universal application and notification dates : applications have to be received by januay 1 and letters of acceptance ( or rejection ) are mailed on april 15 . to be coherent with harvard ' s system , the film would have to take place in april , not october .\nas a promotional tool , the creators developed an elaborate internet game of discovery and problem solving , through hidden messages and puzzles in internet sites , telephone answering messages , e - mail accounts and clues in the film ' s trailers . the game , set in the world of a . i . involved websites registered in several countries around the world as well as telephone numbers from across the us , and a group of followers called\nthe cloudmakers\nfollowed the puzzle , sharing information .\nin the film adaptation , however - even with a u certificate - the love dynamic has been made romantic . shrek and the princess are both lovable to the outside world because their love for each other renders them beautiful . shrek is changed by his love : the implication as they slip away in the pumpkin coach is that he will be a cleaner , more socialised creature from now on . it is a message of social acceptance - not the narrow focus of parental acceptance that so often provides the glue for a picture - book story .\nthis hero , sugihara , simmers with the rage that comes from being different in a society that celebrates its homogeneity and defines membership by blood . though they may be the third generation of their families in japan and they may look , talk and act like the japanese around them , sugihara and his korean pals are still excluded , in ways subtle and not so subtle , from the mainstream . they are , the film notes in a funny , fast - paced , slickly edited opening sequence , more likely to end up in a police lineup than behind a company president\u2019s desk .\nobomsawin has said that the most important part of her making kahnesatake was that ' there had to be a document that came from us . . . that was crucial . ' less than an attempt to be the definitive voice , kahnesatake was a distinct voice , one among many , and one that , finally , would allow the people under siege and their compatriots to give their side of the story . going so far as to call the film ' s approach demagogic shows a lack of clear understanding of the uses to which obomsawin ' s subjective voice is put ."]}

probably not .\nas gracie , bell does a near - perfect job of the you - make - me - want - to - be - a - better - person girl , creating a sticky situation when she discovers her crush is a drug dealer ( even if it ' s just for the day ) . in one of the films few more cliched moments , however , darren sees the error in his ways ( of course not before he manages to horrendously dissapoint her ) and fixes all with a slightly awkward albeit adorable first kiss . this is the big ' sex scene ' of the film and surprisingly it delivers ; its just sappy enough to be satisfying without being over - the - top cheese . besides , let ' s face it , the movie ' s vice of choice is drugs . the film gives us a gritty , realistic portrait of a group of nyu freshman who are without a doubt closer to mk and ashley ' s would - be college experience than oh , say , felicity and her dictaphone .\nall in all the film is a consistently amusing romp through young , downtown new york with an uber - hip soundtrack to match its uber - hip cast ( eat its dust , o . c . ) . definitely the most fun i ' ve had in tribeca since seeing jason priestly at nobu . and we are definitely not in beverly hills anymore , toto .\nfirst - person essays , features , interviews and q & as ; about life today .\na middle - aged man was admitted to the medical service of a teaching hospital with suspected vasculitis . when the initial diagnostic studies failed to provide a definitive diagnosis , the team decided to treat the patient empirically with high - dose steroids .\nwhen discussing the patient on morning rounds , the senior resident instructed the intern quite clearly to ' ' give the patient one gram of steroids . ' ' after rounds ( and some quick math ) , the intern ordered :\nthe following day , upon review of the medication record , the senior resident found the error . the oral prednisone was stopped , and the patient was correctly given a gram of intravenous methylprednisolone ( solu - medrol ) . he eventually recovered from his vasculitis and was discharged in a stable condition .\nthis case could easily be characterized as simply a humorous event associated with residency training . one can envision this story being retold with much laughter in the hospital cafeteria because of the seeming lack of common sense it demonstrates ( and , of course , because the patient experienced minimal harm ) . however , it also may be a cautionary glimpse into the tenuous balance between residency training and patient safety .\ninherent in care in a teaching hospital is the fact that interns and residents , often the immediate caregivers to patients , are less experienced , less expert , less efficient , and perhaps more prone to medical errors . despite this seeming risk , comparative studies actually report better quality of care for most conditions at teaching hospitals , albeit at higher cost . ( 1 - 3 ) the etiology of the advantage is unclear but may be secondary to better access to specialized services , better adherence to evidence - based medicine , or improved physician availability .\nnotwithstanding these potential virtues , this case demonstrates that residents often have gaps in knowledge and experience that may place patients at risk . such gaps can be overcome with both supervision and clinical maturation ( after all , that is what residency is for ) . since the latter accrues only over time , supervision is critical , particularly during early training . against that background , this troubling case exposes how the unique culture of residency education , as well as the long - standing tradition of resident autonomy , are often at odds with patient safety .\nmany residency programs also have a culture of devaluing input from non - physician professionals . whereas experienced physicians might well have heeded the warning of the pharmacist or taken the advice of experienced nurses , young physicians in training , probably due to their own insecurity and their intense dependence on the resident team as the center of their professional life , may find it extremely difficult to take advice from non - physicians . in addition , housestaff in teaching hospitals are often paged or called by non - physician professionals , especially from the nursing staff , about non - urgent issues\u2014those related to minor deviations from ' ' hospital usual practice , ' ' discharging a ' ' legal obligation ' ' to report minor patient issues to a physician , or focused on reducing ' ' unnecessary ' ' nurse / aide / phlebotomist workload during the day . it may be difficult for house officers to separate trivial queries from serious ones , and they may struggle with the ' ' cry wolf ' ' phenomenon . in our program , having a senior nurse and chief resident occasionally monitor ' ' calls ' ' has improved the quality of nurse - resident communication .\nlet us now turn to the issue of autonomy . how can an intern believe that he shouldn ' t call his senior resident or attending when a pharmacist , whose primary role in the hospital is to reduce medication errors , questions the medication order ? autonomy and physician ( not just housestaff ) independence have long histories in western medicine . ( 5 , 6 ) physicians have consistently prized autonomy in clinical decision - making . there is no question that autonomy within those areas that require clinical experience and judgment ( often referred to as ' ' the art of medicine ' ' ) should be valued in our medical system . this would include the sorting of patient data , interpretation and weighting of the data , framing the clinical issues in the context of the individual patient , and making decisions in the face of uncertainty . however , if physicians are not following evidence - based medicine or , moreover , are harming patients as they exercise their independence , the autonomy should be curtailed in the name of safety and quality .\nin resident education , supervision and monitoring of the quality of care can be accomplished by two primary mechanisms : system - based oversight and direct attending supervision . specific system - based interventions that have been effective include computerized physician order entry ( 7 ) , clinical decision - support systems ( 8 ) , and having clinical pharmacists round with teams in the icu . ( 9 ) implementation of system - based oversight must be balanced with the need to promote education and a sense of autonomy for the housestaff . that is , computerized orders and decision support must be user - friendly and not simply viewed as a ' ' hassle ' ' by busy residents , nor be so prescriptive that residents never learn to think on their feet . moreover , any system - based oversight must be educational ; for example , when an intern is directed not to give warfarin with dilantin , he or she should have easy access to a link that outlines the drug interaction .\nbeyond system - based interventions , what is the right amount of attending supervision of residents ? in considering this question , it is important to recognize that it is essential that physicians in training feel absolutely responsible for their patients . that element of emotional learning ( 10 ) is critical to physician development . if attending physicians are ' ' micromanaging , ' ' or if system - based changes severely limit resident decision making , new physicians may not learn to accept ultimate responsibility for patient care or function quickly and decisively in the midst of clinical uncertainty .\nto meet these goals , the skilled supervisor provides what i call ' ' close supervision from afar . ' ' the attending should know everything that happens to the patient and collect enough of the primary data to be sure of its accuracy yet remain in the background unless absolutely necessary . that way , the learners feel complete personal responsibility for their patients . the degree of close supervision must be based on an assessment of the skills , knowledge , and clinical maturity of the specific learners and cannot be generalized to one - size - fits - all . it is critical that the attending not correct differences in style or legitimate alternative approaches to a patient but , rather , reserve corrective interventions to true clinical errors . differences in approach should be discussed with trainees as colleagues , not mandated from the ' ' top . ' '\nthe answer to this seeming conflict of autonomy versus patient safety is in creating a culture where everyone looks critically at clinical outcomes , focuses on best patient care , and actively addresses the priorities of clinical autonomy , clinical judgments , and evidence - based medicine . we need an environment in which young physicians are comfortable asking for help , are willing to recognize and respond to the expertise of all members of the care team , and see patient safety systems as supporting their goals of providing better patient care\u2014not as hassles in an already over - loaded workday . ultimately , the goal must be to create a culture that allows physicians to comfortably ask for help when they are beyond their area of competence while preserving the intense personal sense of commitment and responsibility for the quality of care of their patients .\nstriking the appropriate balance between autonomy and supervision represents one of the greatest challenges of physician education .\nmany training programs have a ' ' hidden curriculum ' ' that overvalues autonomy and loyalty to the team and underappreciates the input of non - physician professionals .\nas we improve both human and systems - based supervision ( ie , through computerized order entry ) , it will be vital to retain trainees ' personal sense of responsibility for their patients .\n1 . taylor dh jr , whellan dj , sloam fa . effects of admission to a teaching hospital on the cost and quality of care for medicare beneficiaries . n engl j med . 1999 ; 340 : 293 - 299 .

( 3 min ) .\nand dedicated to sergio leone , cemetery without crosses presents a gallic spin on the spaghetti western and succeeds largely on the strength of hossein ' s ability to weave together an overwhelming sense of melancholy with explosive set pieces and andre hossein ' s stellar original scre along with scott walker ' s tremendously effective theme song . hossein shares writing credit for the film with claude desailly , though dario argento is also noted as having involvement with the film ' s script ( note : hossein has stated that argento contributed not more than a couple dozen lines to the script ) . originally released under the title the rope and the colt , cemetery without crosses is a true tribute to leone ' s films and hossein deserves credit for having crafted a film that remains faithful to leone ' s ability to create emotional resonance and outstanding set pieces . cemetery without crosses feels authentic and , if you surrender yourself to it , it will linger in your psyche long after the closing credits .\narrow video sheds clarifying light on dario argento\u2019s elusive and hallucinatory deep red , without compromising the film\u2019s unnerving bottomlessness .\ncox also said that cemetery was \u201cthe one film to prove that the italian western was not solely sergio leone\u2019s . \u201d\ncemetery without crosses ( u . s . a . ) | cimitero senza croci ( italy ) | una cuerda , un colt ( spain ) | friedhof ohne kreuze ( germany ) | haudat vailla nime\u00e4 ( finland ) | cemit\u00e9rio sem cruzes ( brazil ) | kato apo ton ourano tou texas ( greece ) | the rope and the colt | death valley gunfighters\ncemetery without crosses is a fairly typical \u201cspaghetti\u201d western revenge scenario , but what is different is that the movie shows revenge to be a fruitless endeavor that has consequences and a high price to be paid ; the heroes don\u2019t just lose their way and ultimately their lives , but also their very humanity . it\u2019s one of the most morally conscionable the genre ever had to offer .\nat the heart of cemetery without crosses is a desire to evoke a pitch black response to life at the limits . there are no goodies or baddies in this , just mystery and the grim realisation that most character\u2019s fates have probably already been mapped long ago . the philosophical nature of the work lends it an authoritative air , and offers a rewarding \u2013 if uncomfortable \u2013 watch .\ncemetery \u2014 which features great cinematography by henri persin \u2014 also features an evocative background score by hossein\u2019s father , composer andr\u00e9 hossein .\nlocation report - presented here is an extract from the french television program cinema with raw footage from the shooting of cemetery without crosses as well as clips from archival interviews with robert hossein , michele mercier ( maria caine ) , and serge marquand ( larry rogers ) . the episode was first broadcast on february 29th , 1968 . in french , with optional english subtitles .

( the great italian director shot the sequence in which manuel and the rogers are seen eating together ) . the interview was conducted exclusively for arrow video on february 25th , 2015 . in french , with optional english subtitles . ( 6 min ) .\ncemetery without crosses is a grim but stylish tale of revenge gone wrong . that isn ' t really a spoiler since some of the first dialogue in the film heavily foreshadows the dangers of vengeance . dialogue is sparse overall in cemetery , and the film conveys more in a downcast expression or a black glove than a turn of phrase . robert hossein starred , directed , and co - wrote , doing a fine job across the board . it ' s not a groundbreaking spaghetti western , but it does deliver on its promises of clever staging , inevitable betrayals , and violent confrontations .\nas prepared by the fine folks at u . k . - based arrow films , this blu - ray / dvd release is filled with arrow ' s usual extras that are far too often saved for blockbuster films . while cemetery without crosses may not be a blockbuster , for fans of spaghetti westerns it will unquestionably be one of the genre ' s finer examples and an inspired film dedicated to one of the genre ' s true icons .\ncemetery without crosses \u2014 aka une corde\u2026 un colt\u2026 ( france ) and cimitero senza croci ( italy ) , among other titles internationally , including the rope and the colt and death valley gunfighters in the u . s . \u2014 is a french / italian / spanish co -

star michele mercier . hoessein doesn\u2019t look like your typical movie gunslinger , not even of the european variety . he\u2019s short , doesn\u2019t look particularly tough or mean , his features are a little funny , but hossein is appealing and has a great screen presence .\nthere\u2019s an interesting and perhaps apocryphal story still in wide circulation which makes the claim that sergio leone actually played the part of the hotel desk clerk in cemetery .\n\u201che always had to be first to shoot . not out of a thirst for money or revenge\u2026 something else drove him to dare , to fight . by now , time was running out . there was no time to think , to live\u2026 there was only time to hate and die . a rope was ready to be tightened . a coffin was ready to be shut . a six - shooter was ready to judge . an entire desert was ready to become a great\u2026 cemetery without crosses . \u201d\nthe closing card reads \u201cdedicated to sergio leone . \u201d leone was a big influence on hossein , though his presence isn\u2019t felt all that much on the finished film . still , leone is alleged to have actually directed one scene unaccredited and appears in a cameo role . hossein had been cast as the sheriff in leone\u2019s masterwork once upon a time in the west , but a last minute change kept him from the picture . one thing that cemetery without crosses shares with leone is that it an auteurist film , a rarity amongst the \u201cspaghetti\u201d western genre .\nmade as a tribute to the legendary sergio leone - who in the same year would make one of , if not his best film , ' once upon a time in the west ' - robert hossein ' s ' cemetery without crosses ' takes place in a seemingly desolate wasteland , it ' s protagonist a tortured gunslinger who lives in a ghost town and coolly puts on a single black leather glove whenever he is about to exact swift gunslinging justice against his foes . it is an unforgiving setting where unforgiving things happen and the characters are stuck hopelessly in the middle .\nlead actor robert hossein became one of the few actors to direct a \u201cspaghetti\u201d western in which he also starred . the french - born hossein had been directing films since 1955 , and would go on to helm a well received version of les miserables in 1982 , but cemetery without crosses would mark his only foray into the western genre and he makes the most out of it . hossein added a unique stamp on the genre , creating such a memorable film that i would argue that hossein deserves a place in the top - tier of the genre just for this credit .\nfrayling \u2014 who has penned a number of books on spaghetti westerns \u2014 also writes , in his preface ( dated october 2005 ) to spaghetti westerns : cowboys and europeans from karl may to sergio leone ( originally published in 1981 ) that \u201cdario argento\u2026 went on to co - write among others cemetery without crosses and the five man army before becoming the sergio leone of italian horror films , \u201d and so his calling argento a co - writer on the film seems to confuse the matter even more , and actually calls into question whether he may have been wrong about leone\u2019s participation as an actor as well .\ndisc # 1 -

language homage to italian director sergio leone\u2019s dollars films ( the film is even dedicated to him ) .\ncemetery without crosses \u2019s newly restored image is sharp and detailed , doing full justice to the gritty texture of robert hossein\u2019s locations . one scene at a smoky saloon could have easily degenerated into unintelligibility with a sloppy transfer , but arrow\u2019s preservation ensures that the shots pop with all the little set elements and wardrobe eccentricities hidden within the clouds of dust . it\u2019s not a terribly saturated restoration ( with the exception of some incongruously vibrant blue skies ) , but that\u2019s in keeping with the emptied - out vigor of hossein\u2019s world . the soundtrack is hushed but exacting , and in general the dubbed voices ( one version in italian with dialogue by dario argento , another in english ) are integrated organically into the sonic space .\nis likely to disappoint a fair number of eurowestern fanatics . haunted and defeated even in triumph , manuel by design lacks the commanding presence of the most memorable spaghetti western anti - heroes . coupled with the film ' s disinterest in action setpieces , occasionally long stretches without dialogue , and a tone that ' s astonishingly dour even by the genre ' s standards , viewers expecting a more traditional spaghetti western may find themselves without something immediately appealing to embrace . though i admire and respect\nlike sergio leone ' s westerns , the images in cemetery without crosses of the american west as a bleak and desolate place are what capture and hold your imagination while the story of vengeance plays out . also like leone , there is a recurring musical theme that heightens everything that goes on . it isn ' t morricone , but it has its own charm , a classical guitar backed by an organ , fits right in . overall this is spaghetti western with its own unique identity . instead of just men perpetrating violence , this film uses its two female characters as wielders of gun violence to pretty cool effect . in this film you got to be pretty tough , whether man or woman , to to make it to the classic conclusion .\nginette vincedeau\u2019s dvd essay \u201cwestern without americans , \u201d which accompanies the 2005 dvd release by arrow films , compares hossein\u2019s directorial style to the then - recently released films of fellow french filmmaker jean - pierre melville ( particularly 1967\u2019s le samoura\u00ef , and 1969\u2019s le cercle rouge ) .\nshe also claims that cemetery \u201cdid respectable business when it was released in february 1969 ( attracting almost one million spectators in france ) , \u201d but then sums up its failings by stating \u201cit left hardly a mark on film history , whether as a french production or as a western . \u201d\nthe extras are outstanding , including a 2015 interview with robert hossein , where he says that he was to appear in sergio leone \u2019s once upon a time in the west , but was under contract to do a film , which ended up being madame with sophia loren . speaking of leone , hossein says that leone asked to direct a sequence and that uncredited sequence is the outstanding dinner scene at the rogers\u2019 ranch . also included is a fantastic segment from a french television news show that visited the set of cemetery without crosses during the filming , it is in black and white with english subtitles . in the news segment they interview hossein and mercier and also actor serge marquand ( larry rogers ) , who appears in a cast after breaking his leg falling off a horse , which is shown on the presented footage . outstanding release in both quality and quantity , if you don\u2019t have it yet , pick up this masterpiece !\nconsider the familiarities . there is a bullying , patriarchal family forcing neighbours from their land and building a mammoth empire for themselves while ruthlessly eliminating anyone in their way . there is a second family , victimised and downtrodden by the former , who want revenge for the brutal killing of one of their own . there is a town , policed by a corrupt lawman , and populated by people filled with fear who are unwilling to stand up to the patriarch boss . and finally , there is a taciturn lone gunman , called upon to exact the revenge the victimised family cannot manage on their own . here ' s a storyline we ' ve seen countless times in westerns , both american and european , over the years and which can provide an entertaining , if somewhat predictable narrative . but , if you have popped cemetery without crosses into the old machine and are settling down to witness another conventional revenge flick , you will be mightily , and pleasantly , surprised .\nhossein \u2014 who expresses his regret that he was never able to appear as an actor in any of leone\u2019s films \u2014 met with leone in almeria , and it was there that leone filmed a dinner sequence ( providing one of the only moments of comic relief in the film ) which hossein then inserted into cemetery .\n\u00a9 2009 -

all ' look ' . i liked it very much . it certainly is different from the norm in a lot of ways , the music is superb , the acting is good esp . hosssein ' s black clad leather gloved gunfighter . recommended for italo / euro western fans . not recommended for a new comer ' s introduction to spaghetti westerns simply because it falls far outside what would be considered a ' typical ' spaghetti western in execution / form & characterizations . the french influence is clear & not a bad thing imo . btw the rancher ' s blonde daughter is incredibly hot too bad she didn ' t get more scenes . however her role is pivotal to the film ' s course . i have this one in my collection & imo certainly in the top 20 euro westerns ever made . it is a ' horse of a different color ' however & not for everyone .\nwhat may interest a number of viewers about this spaghetti western is that dario argento is given credit as one of the writers , though reports state that he actually had nothing to do with this movie . whether he was involved or not , the end results are really strange . there is some good stuff here - the movie has a great deal of atmosphere , from the ghost town set to even the interior of saloons . the musical score is also well done , whether the scene calls for something loud or something more subdued . however , the script needed a lot more work before shooting began . the story , what there is , moves at an incredibly slow pace . also , the story is frequently confusing right from the start , leading to a number of moments when you wonder what exactly is going on . if you are a spaghetti western fan of great patience , the movie does have some rewards , but even then you ' ll see that it could have been a lot better .\noverall , this one was unexpectedly good . having seen all of leone ' s work , most of corbucci ' s , and a decent amount of lesser - known spaghetti westerns , i went into this one not expecting a lot . it has a great opening scene and is obviously well - written ( thanks dario . ) the main theme is a little different than other italian westerns . more similar to an american western in plot . i wanted to see a little more violence , but it ' s got a few shootings and the ones it does have are awesome . a little tame , but very entertaining overall . a must see for argento fans . 7 out of 10 , kids .\nlet ' s get one thing straight right from the giddy up . . . . . . . . . . .\nrancher ben caine is pursued by several horsemen . they catch him outside his home , hang him and force his wife to watch .\nthey are the rogers family , rich ranchers who want his land and cattle . caine ' s brothers go seeking revenge , but return with gold , in payment for the cattle . the brothers are satisfied by this , and they leave . his wife , maria , wants revenge . she seeks out her old lover , a gunfighter named manuel . manuel tells her he does not believe in revenge , and he will not help her .\nin spite of saying this , manuel goes to the rogers ranch and is hired to work there . he secretly sabotages their operation , stampeding horses and killing men . maria does not know he is there , and she still wants revenge . she kidnaps the daughter of old man rogers . her plan is to kill the men when they come for the daughter . caine ' s brothers show up again . when they learn of the plot , they go back to rogers . they reveal maria ' s plan , and return the daughter for more gold . the rogers men beat maria .\nmanuel goes to see maria , and finds her dying . after she dies , he goes back to confront the rogers gang . he faces off alone against all 4 rogers men in the middle of the street . he shoots them all dead . as he is turning to leave , he is shot dead from behind by the daughter .\n, because you know , the french , is a late 1960s western done in the style of sergio leone but written and directed by popular french actor robert hossein , who also stars in the film . the leone influence is everywhere : in the framing of shots , the music , the storyline , the performances , and the stylized use of violence . in fact , leone actually \u201cguest directed\u201d a single scene in the film , and was originally supposed to play a bit part .\nnever adds up to more than the sum of its parts . while aspects of the film are fascinating , this is another example of the old saying , \u201cit knows the notes , but not the music . \u201d\ntrivia footnote : although he is credited as a screenwriter on almost every version of this film , our old pal dario argento did not contribute to the screenplay in any way . writer / director / frenchman hossein claims it was a marketing gimmick dreamed up by overseas distributors .\nthe main reason to recommend this odd film\u2014and i do recommend it , heartily\u2014is the inspired cinematography by henri persin . though dealing with subject matter that is ugly , this film is very beautiful to look at and every shot is a well - composed painting . the film opens in black and white and after the credits slowly goes to full color . it\u2019s an effective choice ; viewers get the impression of a history book full of early daguerreotypes being brought to life . at movies\u2019 end , the image changes back to monochrome , as if the filmmakers are placing the events back into the past . i am not in the habit of recommending a film based solely on this one element , but as martin scorsese is fond of reminding us all\u2026 pictures ! they\u2019re called pictures !\nthis dichotomy at the heart of the film is mirrored in the score , which is wildly erratic , jumping back and forth between overproduced , operatic superhero music and low - key , acoustic strings . near the end of the film , a main character mounts his horse and , as he rides , the music rises to fever pitch and we expect the character to don a crude superman a cape and to fly into the air . it\u2019s that crazy .\nas a public service to you , the reader , i present the lyrics to this song , so that you can , if you wish , sing along . do it in your bedroom , office , or kitchen right now\u2014sing loud ! practice singing this several times\u2014i want all of my readers to join in a worldwide sing -

wook tried something similar for lady vengeance . on the dvd release you have the option to watch park ' s original cut , in which the entire film gradually fades to monochrome during its 2hr + runtime . a fascinating choice , indeed . i wonder why more notable directors have not utilized / experimented with this technique .\n\u00a9 f this movie ! . awesome inc . theme . powered by blogger .\nthe film opens in black and white as three men are fleeing a group of men , one of the men ben caine ( benito steffanelli ) , who is wounded separates from the other two and heads to his small ranch where his wife maria awaits him . the men who were giving chase are the rogers family and their gang . at the ranch , they grab ben up and hang him as the hysterical maria sobs as the grim spectacle unfolds . the father of the rogers clan will rogers ( daniele vargas ) says , \u201clet\u2019s go men , i want the other two caine\u2019s , let\u2019s go , \u201d as they ride off in pursuit of the other two men , thomas caine ( guido lollobrigida as lee burton ) and eli caine ( michel lemoine ) . thomas and eli evade the men , but perched on a hill above their ranch , they see it burnt to the ground . they return to find maria burying ben and go in and split the money they had stolen from the rogers , who in turn had stolen and sold their herd .\nmaria with her part of the money in hand , goes to a ghost town where a man from her past lives and she offers her portion of the money to help her get revenge against the rogers . the man manuel first refuses to help maria saying , \u201cyou believe in revenge , but i don\u2019t . it never ends . \u201d after maria leaves the money and vacates , manuel who lives a lonely existence reaches into a small cupboard that holds a music box that contains a black glove , on the cupboard door is a photo of ben , maria and manuel . the glove is that of a man in manuel\u2019s violent past , a man who lived by the colt , but has stopped the killing , but dons the black glove again , for love .\nthomas and eli end up at the ranch of the rogers\u2019 and are beaten severely by the rogers\u2019 , until tomas tells them , $ 2000 to get her back . \u201d will allows only thomas to leave , holding eli as collateral that thomas will return with the girl . the rogers\u2019 pay maria a visit and after manuel returns dianna to her father\u2019s ranch he goes to get maria and leave for a new life together .\na man who has quit fighting , is asked by the women he had left , but had never stopped loving , to strap on his gun and seek revenge for his friend ben , but he does so mostly for the woman who had broken his heart when he had left and upon returning had found her married . manuel lived symbolically in a ghost town , all alone and living in a broken past of love lost . \u201ci remember when you first went away . i shouldn\u2019t have married ben . but you\u2026 you never came back . \u201d\na movie that has been in dire need of a proper english language release , and thanks to arrow video , here it is in all its blu - ray glory . the print used for the most part is outstanding , with the only issues being the generic hand - held opening sequence , which is due to the filming process and a few scenes where the scope of the picture is impacted because of the colors and background being impossibly vast and lacking a bit of definition , again partly the fault of the original process . the sound is superb and is synced properly . the film begins in black and white and switches to color around the 3 : 26 mark and remains colorized until the end , when it resorts back to black and white ."]}

38 uses special cartridges that seal in the propellant .\na very interesting design brought to us by the stechkin automatic pistol guy , the ots - 38 was developed from an earlier model designed for vietnam tunnel rats , which fired tungsten birdshot rounds for some reason . this revolver\u2019s rounds are only similar in that they are completely silent , using a low amount of gunpowder located behind a piston inside the case , meaning no gas is actually released when firing the gun , producing no sound or muzzle flash . the gun itself being a revolver also means no spent cartridges can be heard dropping on the floor .\n. noiseless and flameless shot is made due to special sp - 4 cartridges with power gases localized in the case . the ots - 38 revolver can be rightfully called noiseless , since the noise level when making a shot and dry firing is practically identical .\nthe similarity between 7 . 62x38r and the crimp on the stechkin cartridge , coupled with the wide gap behind the cylinder convinced me that this revolver is , indeed , of the gas seal design .\nit\u2019s called the ots -

action trigger , but the action fitted with ambidextrous manual safety which allows for safe\ncocked & locked\ncarry , for fast and accurate first shot . next , the ots - 38 fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder , as opposed to most revolvers that fire from upper chamber . therefore , the barrel axis of ots - 38 is relatively low and muzzle jump is minimal . the large cylindrical housing , located above the barrel of ots - 38 , contains an integral laser pointer / sight . the cylinder fixture is also of most unusual nature . the cylinder axis is hinged to the frame at the front , so once cylinder release ( at the left side of the frame ) is pushed forward , the cylinder can be swung open to the right and forward ( while on most modern revolvers cylinders are swung down and to the left ) . upon the opening of the cylinder , an automatic ejector partially withdraws the clip with rounds ( or empty cases ) from cylinder . this unusual cylinder mounting is essential to provide minimum play between the firing chamber in cylinder and barrel throat , since the sp - 4 bullets are of pure cylinder shape , and thus cannot self - align itself with the barrel upon firing , unlike most conventional bullets that have conical or ogive nose shape . since\nyeah\nlaw enforcement\nlol i like it . finally a lefty friendly revolver that ' s not a charter .\ni have not come across a similar revolver so far . to say exceedingly interesting is an understatement . very ingenious too .\nweapon gun firearm revolver handgun pistol double action swing out smith wesson 1978 . 44 . 44 magnum american america united states usa\nweapon gun firearm american america united states usa ww1 pistol handgun revolver double action swing out . 45 . 45acp smith wesson 1917\nthe quiet knight is a primary weapon for the stealth class in blitz brigade . it is based on the russian ots -

seal mechanism .\ngood question ! it ' s too complicated and , when firing double action , it adds a lot of effort to the already long trigger pull . you are also stuck with the limited ammo capacity of a revolver . a 7 or 8 round revolver in a respectable caliber , say . 357 , is a bulky thing . a 9 shot 9mm will disappear in your pocket . also , revolvers aren ' t more reliable than a modern automatics . this is coming from a revolver guy who prefers a wheelgun for hunting and plinking . i carry a 10 + 1 automatic in . 45 acp that ' s roughly the size of a six shot revolver for serious social purposes .\nmp - 412 rex revolver . . 357 magnum , polymer frame , top - break action . made specifically for the american market , but bill clinton fucked us over again .\nthe revolver features a number of unusual features . the barrel is mounted below the axis pin , the cylinder pivots out to the right , and it features a manual safety catch .\nunfortunately , we will probably never see this revolver or its ammunition available in america . it\u2019s not that common in russia either , as less than 300 of these were made between 2002 and 2012 .\nsomebody pointed out that there was a semi - auto pistol that fired similar rounds , though i don ' t know how and can ' t click that link at work . either way , some cool firearm tech came out of russia , from these\nsilent\npiston - rounds to ak - type rifles that worked under water and fired\nharpoon\ntype bullets .\nthe unique crimp on the nagant revolver 7 . 62x38r cartridge has the purpose of projecting slightly beyond the cylinder to seal the barrel - cylinder gap when the cylinder is moved forward in the gas seal design .\nthe other thing you might be thinking right now is , \u201cthat sounds cool , but you said snub - nosed . i\u2019ve read enough of your shit over the years about silencers and revolvers to know it can only be done on a nagant revolver where the cylinder provides a seal with the barrel to prevent gas leakage around the cylinder . so this is a threaded - barrel nagant - type revolver , right ? \u201d\nin short , the \u201csealed revolver\u201d idea , in actual practice , is simply underwhelming . that being the case , the nagant system is relegated to a curiosity - it ' s just not worth the trouble .\nthere is one thing all of them have in common that is ; they all really want the pistol to work every time when the need it . a conventional revolver is more like to work than any other pistol .\nconsidering the gap between the cylinder & frame , and the similarity of the cartridge mouth to the original nagant revolver ammo , and the need of the cylinder to clear the barrel , the actin must work similar to the original nagant .\na double action revolver ( mccree\u2019s peacemaker ) does not require the hammer to be pushed back down after every shot and functions almost like a semi - automatic handgun . this means every time you apply pressure to the trigger , a bullet is coming out .\nmanufactured by holland and holland in england c . 1870 at the earliest - serial number 455 . . 577 / 14 , 75x20 , 90mmr british revolver six - round cylinder , double action . you might have guessed , but this pistol is fucking huge .\nwhy don ' t more revolvers use the sealed chamber and barrel system of the nagant revolver ? i think the nagant pistol is probably one of the ten worst mass produced pistols of the last 150 years . we can tell you have never fired one .\nluxurious twenty shot double action pinfire revolver with carved ebony grips , double barrels and folding trigger . the cylinder has two rows of ten chambers . the hammer alternatively strikes the pins of the cartridges in the upper and lower rows , firing through the respective barrel .\ni get your point about the cylinder having to move back to allowed it to swing in and out without fouling the barrel but still doubt that it uses nagant type breech sealing . the comments by ` cheaper than dirt ` are clearly in error anyway as they state that the cylinder moves forward when the gun is cocked - check the photograph above and you ` ll see that the cylinder is forward with the revolver uncocked . a second point is that they state that the reduced volume of gases expended with the discharge . . . . . makes for a very quiet gun . . . . . . if any gases were expended the gun would not be silent . the cartridge is specifically designed to not ` expend ` any gases and therefore does not require the revolver to have any form of gas sealing . a third point concerns the comment in the full article that\nthe gun can be loaded with loose ammo or five at a time with a metal clip\n. i think it may safely be assumed that the ` metal clip ` is an absolute necessity in order to fill the very large gap between the cylinder and the recoil plate . cheaper than dirt have no example of either the revolver or it ` s ammunition for sale and it would seem that they are commenting on the gun only .\nthe gas seal system functions best ( probably only , barring some novel chamber to cylinder sealing mechanism ) with cartridges that have brass protruding beyond the bullet which can be fire - formed to seal the chamber / forcing cone / barrel from gas . such ammo is not common , and if new cartridges of the sort were produced for , say , 38 . spcl , they would be noticeably more expensive due to the additional step in production .\ni am certain that my reasoning will not convince all who hold other views . however , i will let them take up the matter of the revolver ' s operation with one of the gun ' s sellers in the usa , cheaper than dirt , in ft . worth , texas . their description says :\ni ` m sure the cartridge used in this revolver was mentioned in a previous ifg topic . . . . what goes around , comes around i guess . for details of the cartridge used and other ` interesting ` russian guns and ammo check -

4 is a unique type of cartridge . it builds on the russian\npiston driven\nprojectile design of older cartridges , and uses a\npiston\nto seal the gases within the cartridge . therefore , no gases escape the barrel when fired , resulting in a silent discharge . the piston seals against the case bottleneck . presumably the gases slowly leak from the spent cartridge over time . the amount of powder beneath the piston is relatively small , as show by the cutout images . the tip of the piston centers the trailing end of the bullet . the bullet appears to be no more than a slug of the wadcutter design with a brass / copper sleeve to align against the rifling :\nalso , consider that loading and unloading the nagant isn ' t all that easy . you had to pull the ejector rod out and then over . then you had to open a loading gate . at this point , you ' re using the same loading style as a single action revolver . that isn ' t popular among folks who want to be able to reload sometime this week .\nthe nagant revolver is an overly complex system with a crappy trigger . in order to make the cylinder move forward to seal the forcing cone , the action has to 1 ) rotate the cylinder to put the live round behind the barrel , 2 ) move the cylinder forward to seal the chamber , 3 ) pull the hammer back to the cocked position 4 ) allow the sear to release the hammer .\nthe bullet diameter is 7 . 62mm . the overall case length is 42mm . so it\u2019s slightly longer than an empty piece of brass from your ak or sks ( 39mm ) , but unlike those rounds there is no bottle neck ; it\u2019s pretty much a rimless straight wall case . the other unique concept here is that the cylinder opens out on the right hand side of the revolver as opposed to the left .\nvery interesting ! the under - the - cylinder - axis barrel is used by others , but i do like the way the cylinder swings out . at first glance , it seemed like there was a large gap between the cylinder and the recoil plate , but with the\nhalf moon\nsystem of holding the cartridges , it makes sense . wt they don ' t mention is the way the cylinder swings into the frame , but the side of the barrel is not relieved for the cylinder to pivot into the frame without hitting the barrel . since the revolver is silenced and a big source of noise in a revolvers is the gap between the cylinder and barrel , and since it is a russian revolver , and since there is such a vague description of the forcing cone , etc , i am suspecting some kind of gas seal design . it would be interesting to handle one !\nbut the ruger , being a single action , could use an ejector rod to remove spent cartridges , where the double actions could not - they needed the half moon clip to eject empty rimless cartridges . there is a shoulder ( as opposed to a step ) in revolver cylinders , and a 45 acp case would only go in so far . headspace may not be reliable , but this doesn ' t mitigate against the gun being fired at all .\ni ' ve been making underhammer pistols for a few years now , along with two underhammer schuetzen rifles and a hunting rifle , as well as sidelock guns , but always in the back of my mind was that idea of marrying the short and long arms into one . i examined everything from the dragoon flintlock , the civil war era revolver with shoulder stock , the smith & wesson model 320 , but mostly the numerous versions that were produced as underhammers . finally , this summer , i dove headlong into the project .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe sample news and analysis articles that were previously hosted on these pages have been discontinued . up -

( terry pratchett )\nnice find vikram , very close resemblance to the mateba semi - auto . the link doesn ' t say how they seal the gas . personally however i don ' t think nothing can beat their own nagant . tc\ni ` m sure it doesn ` t use the nagant sealing system because there is no need for a gas seal . there is minimal gap between the cylinder and the barrel - it fires from the bottom cylinder . what looks like a barrel at the ` normal ` location is the housing for a laser .\nit does look like the ammunition itself , sp - 4 , is silenced .\nthree distinct applications are made from this design - the first obviously being clandestine / sof applications where silence is paramount . to this end , the russians designed the spp pistol for the ammunition . the pistol has a floating chamber with a 2nd buffer spring to eliminate metal -

they acted as a sort of speed loader . the original 1917 revolvers could have been made with a step in the chamber so the 45 acp case could headspace on the case mouth as they do in the pistol . ruger did that with their single action that came with interchangeable cylinders in 45 colt and 45 acp .\ni see the large gap between the recoil plate and cylinder as another evidence of a gas seal action . i ' ve handled my brother ' s smith & wesson model 25 enough to know that a gap that large , much less the rebated rear of the cylinder , is not necessary for half moon clip use alone .\nbut i still maintain that there is every reason to believe that such a cartridge is designed for gas seal operation . and while you do have a point about the cheaper than dirt description , they sell more than enough nagant 1895s to know what a gas seal action is .\nread vikram ' s post . it ' s\ngas seal\nonly as it seals the gas within the case . the bullet is not driven by the powder gases , but by the piston .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nthe ammo for this gun is really cool . basically a piston pushes out the ammo , keeping it very quiet .\nwell , yes , guns do silence you . no matter where you are !\nit is important not to stare at the enemy because he may sense the stalker\u2019s presence through a sixth sense .\nedit : this is some schoolyard shit\nbelgian takedown . . . then he heaves his body weight into the hips of the sentry while pulling up on the ankles . this technique slams the sentry to the ground on his face .\nthey ' re useful even if you have the element of surprise , especially since most modern suppressors hide muzzle flash . very effective if you ' re firing from an elevated position or from multiple angles , as the other guys won ' t know where to shoot at , let alone who to shoot .\na really quiet suppressed gun - bolt action 22lr rifle where the only mechanical noise is the firing pin - is doing 110 db at best , that is pretty loud compared to the above , especially considering that the decibel is a logarithmic unit .\nyou would definitely hear it - but in the case of these\nassassination guns\n, if you used them on a busy city street , the target will collapse screaming and as you say no one will have any idea where the shot came from , allowing the shooter to escape undetected .\nreportedly the suppressor functions optimally within the first 10 \u2013 15 rounds fired . for those who prefer dry numbers i can inform that the american oss ( office of strategic service ) , according to a document dated february 12 , 1945 , performed a measurement on noise from suppressed weapons to help evaluate their own just finished prototype , hi - standard automatic pistol calibre . 380 acp . all measurements are performed at a perpendicular angle 10 ft . from the muzzle .\nfrom the document it can be seen that the average noise level of the welrod pistol was at 73 db , hi standard . 380 acp at 81 db and hi - standard . 22lr at 71 db . in comparison , a non - suppressed calibre . 32 acp pistol , has a noise level of 105 db .\nif we look at more modern data , . 32 acp is quoted as being at 153 . 5 db , almost 50 db more than the value quoted in the 1945 report . this implies that the value quoted for the welrod must be significantly less than reality .\nin order , the individual shots of the 5 - round string were measured at : 125 . 0 , 124 . 5 , 124 . 5 , 123 . 8 , and 125 . 0 db . the overall average was 124 . 6 db .\nthis makes it around 10 db louder than the best suppressed 22lr pistol , a very significant difference .\nso it ' s just a big lead cylinder ? seems like that would be inaccurate .\nthe bullet is a steel cylinder , with a soft driving band to engage the rifling . accurate enough at the 30 feet or so range it was meant for , and effective against steel helmets or soft body armor .\nalso check out the russian s4m , it has similar ammo but is a double - barreled derringer . the short barrel and low muzzle velocity basically guaranteed that point - blank range is the only place where it could be effective , and as such it was used exclusively as an assassination pistol .\nwikipedia has no pic , so i found one on google for you guys .\ni ' ve seen one of these before , our old neighbour had one . : d\ni live in russia , so no . one american couple that took pictures of everybody did , though .\na guy just showed me a link for the delisle carbine actually . $ 2500\nthey have a semi -

well , it certainly made me full of emotions , i can tell you that . the story is better than i expected yet still , probably about 4 stars for me but the writing is exceptional : very atmospheric , it was more like \u2018watching\u2019 movie than just \u2018reading\u2019 a book for me . things were so vivid , too vivid to be contained only to the pages , i suspect .\nso she made dry look like kid stuff . shock is one potential medical reaction to harvey\u2019s harrowing lyrical terrain , which channels lovesick abandonment and alienation into violent and occasionally homicidal imagery . she\u2019ll tie you down ( \u201crid of me\u201d ) and cut off your legs ( \u201clegs\u201d ) and stick needles in her voodoo doll ( \u201cyuri - g\u201d ) and stroke your manhood until it bleeds ( \u201crub \u2018til it bleeds\u201d ) and douse hair with gasoline and set it alight ( \u201cman - size\u201d ) . and then she\u2019ll add insult to injury and tell you you leave her dry , as on the delectable , slide - assisted \u201cdry . \u201d\none way to answer the question is : ' i would describe the taste of an apple as refreshing because of how juicy they are . while a person may not be able to taste , they can probably feel the juice as they bite into the apple . when i think about apples , i imagine the fresh , juicy sensation that comes with taking my first bite .

lake ballerina , and his girlfriend . this hallucinatory and erotic romance fulfills the man ' s final erotic desires . who is she really ? and where will their romance lead them . . . ?\nunable to find a job due to his bad reputation , he desperately loaned money from loan sharks and gambled . as he began to lose a lot of money , he attempted to commit suicide only for kokone to save him . this instilled him a desire to come back victorious , which he does when he won a mahjong game with the impossible nine gates . overjoyed he rushed back to share the good news of his winnings only to discover that kokone has disappeared . he got very disappointed . this however , was short - lived when he heard kokone ' s voice singing on the rooftop . curious , he went up and found her in a wedding dress playing a piano . this became a blatant fantasy as he then got married to her and the previous dead characters ( the three thugs , butch and her girlfriend ) came back to life and embraced his happiness . all of this being done on top of the rooftop . just as they take a picture for his wedding , the flash brought him back to reality whereby , on his journey back home after his winnings , he remembered jay - walking the street only to stop when he saw a woman who looked exactly like kokone .\n. . . seems that the critics did not like it ; however , is ok to watch it but somehow it s too long ; the final cut could have been shorter without any problem to the plot . at some point someone can be down knees to the system ; even more in a place like tokyo ; fired from a job , without too much possibilities to have a gal or a relationship ; immersed in your own otaku world living a non reality to escape from all that and trying to survive meanwhile you see at your sides beautiful girls on and on . . . would be difficult for many ; so i think that this movie tries to show a bit of that side . firsts takes are pretty good , then there s too much flatness and at some point a bit boring , but the way to use the camera , the colors and that mix between what s reality and what s not let you pass those long minutes and wait for the final part . the end is good in my opinion , due to the reality is just that .\n6 . but more and more , i\u2019m suspecting that the magazine\u2019s notion of gender isn\u2019t real . it\u2019s not even old school . it just never existed . if it was only ever a fantasy , the fantasy is now defunct . people are such strange hybrids anyway , and the world we\u2019re living in is becoming increasingly ungendered . it doesn\u2019t make sense to make a magazine out of \u2018stuff women like\u2019 . i was talking to my friend james about this yesterday over coffee ( we\u2019re both unemployed at the moment so we have to structure our days with multiple coffee breaks \u2013 coffee is our reception , boss , and hr department ) and he described it as a feeling of smallness : \u2018the bigger the magazine , the smaller you feel after reading it . \u2019 it\u2019s the feeling you get when someone friendly - seeming and attractive strikes up a conversation with you and slowly reveals himself to be a mad - eyed salesman trying to sell you an freakish italian jacket out of the boot of his car ( this also recently happened to a friend of mine ) . it isn\u2019t happiness .\nthis site uses cookies . by using this site you are agreeing to our privacy and cookie policy .\ntakashi ishii\u2019s often uncomfortably perverse and exploitative film is a bizarre blend of voyeuristic sexuality and rather brutal violence that trades on fantasy and objectification , and while an easy fit on the genre festival circuit it is unlikely to have much of a theatrical release life outside its home territory . the film screened at the fantasia film festival in montreal .\nwhile the production design is terrific and the violence nicely staged , at times the eroticism and rather perverse sexuality can appear heavy -

the shadows of the nazi occupation of greece even though he was just four when members of hitler ' s waffen ss arrived in the village of distomo on june 10th , 1944 .\nthe stories of distomo ' s suffering , and that of other towns and villages that suffered the same fate , are etched into the psyche of the country . and the animosity that has grown between greece and germany over the debt

survivor testimony , nazi ss troops went door to door and massacred 218 greek civilians .\non the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the distomo massacre in 1994 , argyris and the community of distomo organised a \u201ccongress for peace\u201d at the european cultural centre in delphi . the congress topics \u201cremembrance \u2013 mourning \u2013 hope\u201c looked at the efforts made in germany , greece and elsewhere as regards compensation , defeating hate , and reconciliation . the congress was attended by nineteen speakers : historians , journalists , brain researchers , social education workers , psychoanalysts , resistance fighters , youth workers , and lawyers from athens , zurich , berlin and other cities . research results were exchanged , conditions for peaceful cohabitation and reconciliation discussed and the psychological causes leading to such inhuman deeds debated . however , one group was not represented : despite great efforts and repeated requests , not one german politician , not even the german ambassador in athens , agreed to participating at the congress . a bitter disappointment for argyris .\nfor germany the matter was extremely \u201cdelicate\u201d . in case argyris\u2019s appeal or the distomo collective claim came through , this could cause a breach in the dam , flooding the german federal republic with countless international reparation claims , which it had managed to ward off and postpone for decades .\nin june 1944 , german occupation forces in greece massacred more than 300 inhabitants of the village of distomo and burnt the village to the ground , as reprisal for a partisan attack on german troops . in 1995 , proceedings against germany were instituted before the greek courts , by over 250 relatives

another . his attack on the town was therefore necessary . the tribunal concluded as much , even going so far to proclaim that \u201cnon - use of arms would have led to proceedings for negligent release of prisoners .\n4\nwe are so sure of this account , because the germans investigated the incident after reviewing conflicting reports\u2014one from the waffen - ss commander who described mortars and machine gun fire coming from distomo and another from a german police agent who described otherwise . during the inquiry , the waffen - ss commander admitted to fudging his official report . he explained that\n12 . ms lechouritou and a number of other individuals brought an action against germany before the polimeles protodikio ( court of first instance ) , kalavrita , ( greece ) seeking compensation for the physical damage , non - material loss and mental anguish which they suffered as a result of the massacre carried out by wehrmacht soldiers on 13 december 1943 in kalavrita

( 6 )\nin an announcement , issued on february 3 , concerning an international court of justice ( icj ) ruling upholding germany\u2019s position , that it enjoys state immunity from being sued in foreign courts by victims of nazi atrocities during world war ii , the ministry of foreign affairs states that the greek government will study this judgement closely , in the light of its firm and longstanding position that the matter of german compensations remains open . the judgement affects the case of the south - central greek village of distomo , where nazi troops killed 214 civilians on june 10 , 1944 , one of the numerous instances of wwii atrocities in occupied greece . the court case concerned the confiscation of german property on italian soil for reparations to be paid to victims of distomo .\nstanding up there having heard all these awesome testimonies of that sinister day thinking how was all this gruesome crime , trying to see the past watching from above the heroic and martyred distomo and up there a monument to to remember you , your children , your grandchildren that once there were people like we experienced and paid with their lives the brutality and hate of the nazis .\na town with a tragic history due to the massacre of its population by the germans in 1944 . if you intend on visiting ossios loukas which is on the same road , it ' s well worth the stop to pay your respects at the memorial . there is also a museum inside the town opposite the mayors office with photos of all the victims & also photos of their skulls where one can see the bullet holes . i visited here in october 2013 .\non june 10 , 1944 , for over two hours , waffen - ss troops of the 4th ss polizei panzergrenadier division under the command of ss - hauptsturmf\u00fchrer fritz lautenbach went door to door and massacred greek civilians as part of a \u2018retaliation measure\u2019 for a partisanattack upon the unit . a total of 214 men , women and children were killed in distomo , a small village near delphi .\n72 years ago , on 10 june 1944 , waffen - ss troops invaded the greek village of distomo . when they left , 218 inhabitants had been massacred , the buildings burned to the ground . an eyewitness entering the village afterwards described how the streets were lined with corpses hanging from the trees , their bodies bearing the marks of the gruesome acts that had led to their deaths ( see\non june 10 , 1944 , for over two hours , waffen - ss troops of the 4th ss polizei panzergrenadier division under the command of ss - hauptsturmf\u00fchrer fritz lautenbach went door to door and massacred greek civilians as part of a \u2018retaliation measure\u2019 for a partisan attack upon the unit . a total of 218 men , women , children and babies were killed in distomo , a small village near delphi .\ni ran to the balcony and screamed , ' they ' ve killed my father and my mother and our little niko ! '\nsfountouris recalls .\nnothing moved in distomo , nothing at all . we saw dead people everywhere . when it started getting dark , we got scared all over again . my uncle came to get us , and we spent the night hiding in the mountains .\nin april 1941 the german wehrmacht invaded greece . as a result of the occupation , a devastating famine ravaged the country , particularly the cities . however , farming families in villages far away from the cities managed to get by . but on june 10 , 1944 , distomo was seized with horror . after the soldiers of a german ss special division had blocked off all access to the village , a so - called retaliatory measure was initiated : to avenge a few fellow - soldiers , who had died in a fight with greek partisans near a neighbouring village , the german soldiers first shot twelve farmers and then killed the villagers . they murdered more than two hundred inhabitants : babies , children , pregnant women , and elderly people . argyris lost his parents and thirty more relatives . the massacre , which took place only four days after the allied landing at normandy ( june 6 , 1944 ) , is considered one of the most atrocious of its kind ( cf . appendix a ) .\nhowever , the efforts to enforce the judgment even\u00adtually failed because the minister of justice denied his approval \u2013 a necessary prerequisite for executing a judgment against a foreign state under greek law ( art . 923 of the code of civil procedure ) . this decision was upheld by the athens court of appeal on 14 september 2001 . redress was then sought in the european court of human rights , and a complaint was lodged under article 6 ( 1 ) of the european convention on human rights . this complaint was equally unsuccessful : app . no . 59021 / 00 , kalogeropoulou v . greece and germany , ecthr , 12 dec . 2002 , 129 ilr ( 2007 ) 537 . finally in 2003 , the german federal supreme court rejected the enforcement of the greek judgment in germany , distomo massacre case , bundesgerichtshof , iii zr 245 / 98 , 26 june 2003 , 129 ilr ( 2007 ) 556 . the german constitutional court in 2006 affirmed the decision of the bundesgerichtshof , bverfg , 2 bvr 1476 / 03 , 15 feb . 2006 .\ndecades after the massacre four relatives of victims brought legal proceedings against the german government to court in livadeia , greece , demanding reparations . on october 30 , 1997 , the court ruled in favour of the plaintiffs and awarded damages of 28 million euros . eventually in may 2000 , areos pagos , the greek high court , confirmed this ruling . the judgment , however could not be enforced in greece , because under greek law , the execution of a judgment against a sovereign state is subject to the prior consent of the minister of justice , and this consent was not given .\nafter this , there seems to be a long standstill with regard to the distomo case , which lasts more or less until the beginning of the 90s . over this time , a lot has changed . the auschwitz - trials in frankfurt in the 60s have profoundly altered the perspective within the german society and has raised awareness for the past crimes . the trials of adolf eichmann in 1961 and of klaus barbie 1987 did the same for israel and france , but also for the larger international public .\nin the meantime the special supreme court of greece indirectly overruled the areios pagos in parallel proceed\u00adings granting immunity to germany ; margellos and others v . federal republic of germany , anotato eidiko diskastirio ( greek special supreme court ) , 6 / 2002 , 129 ilr ( 2007 ) 526 . but when the corte di cassazione ( italian supreme court ) issued its ferrini decision in 2004 , the distomo plaintiffs instituted proceeding in italy to execute the greek judgment against germany there , and registered a legal charge over a property near lake como owned by germany ( corte di cassazione , 14199 , 29 may 2008 )\non june 10 , 1944 the nazi troops stationed in greece performed acts of indescribable violence in the small village of distomo . the few survivors told their story in fakeloi , a show in greek television . disclaimer : i don ' t own the rights to the video itself , i only made the translation and the subtitles . the subtitles have an creative commons license , which means you can freely share , show and copy them as long as i ' m given the credits for their creation . please do not use them for profit , it ' s about sharing the knowledge ! you can see what else i ' ve translated on urltoken\nafter the war had ended , distomo first came up in a legal context when the us military tribunal that succeeded the nuremberg trials focused on the war crimes committed during the balkan campaign . the so - called \u201chostage cases\u201d revealed how ss and wehrmacht had met with fierce resistance by partisan groups in the entire balkan region . they responded by taking civilians hostage and retaliating against civilians when they were attacked . the \u201cquota\u201d often exceeded 70 executed civilians for each german soldier killed . it is only due to these excessive \u201cquotas\u201d that some of the generals were finally sentenced . the overall practice of retaliating against civilians , however , was seen as legally permissible at the time , while partisan resistance was deemed illegal .\nsince this last big decision , lower courts in italy have reopened some of the cases , but so far no money has been paid and no german property seized . the question is what will happen next . which brings us back to the original question . what is there still to say ? what is there still to expect ? looking at the chronology presented above , it is evident that during those 72 years , the distomo case has picked up speed . it has not done so consistently , it has encountered a lot of resistance and it has not yet reached its goal . also , the impression prevails that the german government is not willing to pay unless it is forced ( question nr . 7 here ) .\nwhen i first thought about writing a text to highlight this day , i felt myself give up almost immediately . 72 years , i thought . what is there to say after 72 years ? is there still hope that the remaining survivors will see the day , when the german government finally gives in and pays the historic debt that it has owed them for 72 to years ? at first i was inclined to give a negative answer to these questions . i would either give up on the project altogether or write the text no matter what . thinking about distomo in light of the latter option , i began to see things differently as i looked at how the case had evolved over time and how that connects it to a similar evolution of other cases .\ndistomo re - emerged with the german reunification . in 1953 , the london debt agreement had postponed the settlement of germanys war related debts , until there was a final peace agreement . an international agreement with that exact title never came into existence . instead there was the treaty on the final settlement with respect to germany , also known as the 4 + 2 - treaty . it did not touch upon the question of war - related debts , which has so far led to a number of different opinions on the current legal situation , calling into question the peace treaty character of the 4 + 2 - treaty or interpreting the omission of any reference to debts as either an annulment or as explicitly leaving the question open ( more on all this here ) .\nafter the civil war , which had engulfed greece after ww ii had ended in 1949 , criminal prosecution of german war criminals also commenced there . by the time they had shown some results , germany entered into negotiations with greece concerning a lump sum payment . concluded in 1960 , germany paid 115 million deutschmark to the greek state in order to settle all claims arising out of the persecution due to race , religion or world view . victims of other crimes , like those in distomo were not covered . part of the deal was to hand over all present and future criminal cases against german citizens , so they could be tried in germany . however , none of the accused were ultimately convicted . to this very day , the only germans ever sentenced on german soil for the crimes committed in greece and the balkans are those sentenced by the us military tribunal .\n6 \u2013 in relation to similar events which occurred in distomo on 10 june 1944 , 257 greek citizens brought an action against germany which was upheld by the court of first instance , livadia , in a decision of 30 october 1997 . that decision was upheld by the greek supreme court by a judgment dated 4 may 2000 , but this judgment was not enforced because no prior authorisation was given by the ministry of justice in accordance with article 923 of the code of civil procedure . the plaintiffs then brought the case before the european court of human rights which , in kalogeropoulou and others v . greece and germany ( dec . ) , no . 59021 / 00 , echr 2002 - x , analysed the relationship between state immunity and the european convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and ruled that the restrictions laid down in the greek legislation were proportionate . the observations submitted by the german government on the present reference for a preliminary ruling give an account of the diplomatic crisis which arose at the time .\nrelying on the interpretation that the question of war - related debts was now open , the survivors of distomo approached the german government . when this attempt was disregarded , a series of trials commenced , with the greek court in lavadia according a 37 , 5 million euros to the victims in 1997 , which was then confirmed by the greek federal court , only to see the enforcement halted by the greek government . the subsequent attempts to enforce the title in germany failed at all judicial levels and even with the echr . at the same time , the survivors were almost successful in their attempt to enforce the title in italy . an attempt that was once again halted in the last minute by the italian government . the case was seemingly settled by the following icj ruling , which held that italy had infringed germany\u2019s sovereign immunity by allowing the trials , a matter that also concerned all the other previous trials outside of germany . the icj did however call into question how germany had handled requests for compensation for war crimes suffered and called upon the parties to settle through diplomatic means . the fact that this call was not heard led to a new development before italian courts which in 2014 culminated in a decision by the italian constitutional court . based entirely on domestic law , it once again allowed trials against germany concerning war crimes committed during ww ii , allowing core human rights to prevail over sovereign immunity .\nif one looks at the question of victim compensation as one part of transitional justice , then this is a reoccurring phenomenon . despite the historic and individual uniqueness that separates all the events summed up under this term , they are also united by the essential role played by time as the essence of change .\nthis is not an attempt to put forward the idea that time heals everything . it does not . apologies do . convictions do . and finally , compensation does . but all across the world , governments have become weaker over time in their resistance to facing the past . in all those cases it is not the magical hand of time which has brought about change , but the persistence of civil society actors over time . the barrios altos case in peru is just one example among many . all of these cases have not just put pressure on individual governments , but have also helped to slowly steer international law into a more human - centred direction over the last 72 years .\nvon anika klafki , tina winter und felix w\u00fcrkert am samstag waren zahlreiche vertreter * innen der jungen wissenschaft im \u00f6ffentlichen recht in hamburg zu gast , um die \u00f6ffentlich -

( excerpt )\nmr . bonaparte , surprisingly , is played by a near unknown , pierre mondy , who may have come to the director ' s attention appearing in a remake of gance ' s la roue . while albert dieudonne in the silent had been boldly iconic with his angular features and tiny tim haircut , mondy is given a more rounded , human , and some how less interesting napoleon to play . the movie starts with a joke about his height , so we ' re definitely in a more populist mode .\ncheers for communication and mobility , pierre mondy ! the predominance of air signs in your chart favours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips , whether real ( travels ) or symbolic ( new ideas , mind speculations ) . you gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose in self - assertion or in pragmatism .\n\u201ca funny thing happened on the way to the forum , \u201d the long\u2010run musical based on the comedies by plautus , will open sept . 15 at the palais royale in paris . arthur lesser , ralph edwards and harold prince will co\u2010sponsor the french version . pierre mondy will play the role of pseudolus , the free\u2010wheeling roman slave in a translation by raymond castans .\nyour angular houses , namely , the 1st , 4th , 7th and 10th houses , are very emphasized in your chart , pierre mondy : according to the tradition , they are the strongest and most dynamic houses . should the rest of your chart concur , angular houses suggest that you are an enterprising , energetic and assertive man . indeed , angular houses are said to generate impulsions and to give a powerful and domineering personality .\nit ' s unfair of me , but i just can ' t get along with mondy ' s face . he has a big , soft forehead , bisected horizontally by a single deep crease , and with that tattered fringe pasted to his crown he looks like a man wearing a frankenstein monster headpiece . he ' s a decent actor , though . the trouble is , a young jean - pierre trintignant is also in the film as a minor functionary , and on the few occasions he ' s given anything to do , he fascinates in a way that mondy can ' t . and trintignant is quite a little chap . it was a missed opportunity .\nafter this paragraph about dominant planets , of pierre mondy , here are the character traits that you must read more carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific : the texts about dominant planets only give background information about the personality and remain quite general : they emphasize or , on the contrary , mitigate different particularities or facets of a personality . a human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to successfully figure out all the finer points .\nlike the majority of earth signs , pierre mondy , you are efficient , concrete and not too emotional . what matters to you is what you see : you judge the tree by its fruits . your ideas keep changing , words disappear , but actions and their consequences are visible and remain . express your sensitivity , even if it means revealing your vulnerability . emotions , energy and communication must not be neglected ; concrete action is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart , your intellect or your enthusiasm .\nthe fixed mode corresponds to a majority of elements in your chart , pierre mondy , and represents the desire for security and durability : you are able to concretely appreciate a situation and its stability . you definitely prefer to play the role of a loyal , obstinate and hard - working person , rather than to try new and risky experiences - beware , however , not to confuse obstinacy with intransigence . you structure , cement , and strengthen everything you find on your way : it is your nature , although you are not especially interested in swiftness : slow and steady . . .\nmondy directed four films and thirteen television episodes , and wrote two television screenplay adaptions . he also directed over 60 theatre productions , many of them at the th\u00e9\u00e2tre du palais - royal in paris . in 1973 he directed the first production of la cage aux folles starring jean poiret and michel serrault .\npierre mondy , the diurnal south - eastern quadrant , consisting of the 10th , 11th and 12th houses , prevails in your chart : assertion and goals achievement are at the centre of your concerns . you are very keen to implement your dreams and your plans . you achieve your ambitions as soon as possible , whether through an active social life , highly charged friendly relations , or an urge to take actions in order to reap - in the eyes of the world , of course - the rewards of your dynamism . it is likely that spirituality or humanitarian actions are part of your motivations , sometimes at the price of some degree of isolation .\nyour sensitivity is dominated by your reason , pierre mondy , and you tend to analyze your emotional reactions in the slightest details , as if you wanted you hold them at bay so that they cannot overwhelm you or weaken you . your nature is anxious , shy , you do not like to be in the forefront and you lack self - confidence . you are extremely perfectionist , you need to examine , to organize and to plan everything according to your logic . you like to help and to feel that you are useful , in your own work or through your wise and clever advice . you may also be very demanding and critical , even unbearable , because you are insistent and you find fault in everything . learn to gain some self - confidence and do not constantly be ready to criticize . . .\nin love , you are more cerebral and friendly than really passionate , pierre mondy . you are made for amorous friendships , for refined and light feelings where each partner retains one ' s freedom , and almost detachment , without getting really committed . sometimes , you may be distant from , and indifferent to , love matters for a while , because you can be completely engrossed in original intellectual pursuits and the collective atmosphere which you are so fond of . you substitute a great number of friendly and light contacts to amorous relationships and it is fair to say that they satisfy you . to fall in love , you need spice and a partner who is original , who amazes you and whom you admire ; under such conditions , you can freely express your feelings in an ambiance devoid of constraint , where freedom is perfectly respected and shared within the couple .\npierre mondy , the way you take action gains in power and in precision what it loses in rapidity and spontaneity . you are \u201cslow\u201d , certainly . but when you get started , you put all your ingenuity and your persistence into it and you love to see a job well done . at the end of the day , owing to your ways , you are the winner . in your sex life , similarly , you are generous and instinctive and your slowness is not an obstacle . it may even bring fulfilment to you , but above all , to your partner ! in love , as well as in your exchanges in general , you tend to keep your worries to yourself because you are extremely patient ; you don ' t say anything , you stand all the hits and one day , you explode into outbursts of anger that are as violent as they are rare , thanks god .\nyou are a \u201cfree - thinker\u201d , pierre mondy , and you tackle problems with a swift and efficient mind . freedom , progress and originality are your driving forces . you are resolutely future - oriented and with ingenuity and inventiveness , you reform what is outgrown and you constantly innovate : psychology , computer sciences , new technologies . . . have almost no secret for you . your human and idealist qualities are obvious , you are a very pleasant and interesting interlocutor , even though your rebellious and revolutionary side may be criticized . indeed , you seem to be driven by a strong argumentativeness : you seldom share your friends ' views and , although you may come across as obstinate , intransigent and unpleasant , you do not hesitate to speak the truth ! instead of causing sudden break - ups with your friends , it is advisable that you express your creative potential more persistently whenever your nervous tension is too high .\nactor . born pierre cuq , he began his career in 1949 and participated in more than 140 films . he was recognized internationally for his role of napoleon bonaparte in the film\nausterlitz\ndirected by abel gance in 1960 . in 1970 , his most successful film was the trilogy\nthe 7th company\n. from 1992 to 2005 he starred the series\nles cordier , juge et flic\nin the role of ' commissaire cordier ' . he was one of the most important french stage directors between 1960 and 2000 , and also directed four movies and several television series .\nyour life path is influenced by the number 2 , pierre , which brings about a life marked by cooperation and team spirit . the activities which suit you best are related to conciliation or mediation . you must develop your social reinsertion abilities , and rely on specialised associations in order to achieve the course of your life . you are far from being a loner , and you try to have the best people in your entourage because you know that union means strength . this is also how you choose your colleagues . on the professional plane , you are the perfect partner , capable of taking into account each and everyone ' s specificities , and of fitting nicely into a team . however , you still need to increase the sense of initiative which you sometimes lack , because your shyness , added to your naivety , may prevent you from getting off the beaten path and encourage you to remain content with what you have already acquired . in many circumstances , one can only rely on oneself ! in order to achieve your projects and your ambitions , you must strike a good balance between association and personal determination .\nsardou is known not only for his love songs (\nla maladie d ' amour\n,\nje vais t ' aimer\n) , but also for songs dealing with various social and political issues , such as the rights of women in islamic countries (\nmusulmanes\n) , clerical celibacy (\nle cur\u00e9\n) , colonialism (\nle temps des colonies\n,\nils ont le p\u00e9trole mais c ' est tout\n) or the death penalty (\nje suis pour\n) . another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs (\nles ricains\nand\nmonsieur le pr\u00e9sident de france\nfor example ) is his respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the united states of america . he has been accused of being a racist due to his 1976 song\nle temps des colonies\n, where he sang positively about colonialism and slavery , but sardou has always claimed the song was sarcastic . [ 1 ] his 1981 single\nles lacs du connemara\nwas an international hit ( especially in the netherlands ) . a number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with jacques revaux and pierre delano\u00eb , a few others ( most notably\nen chantant\n) with italian singer toto cutugno .\ni got an official e -

one - year - old director whose best work , by universal consensus , was in the silent era ; it ' s a kind of belated sequel , the further adventures of napoleon bonaparte ; it ' s a salkind production .\nincidentally , viewing the lavish sets for this movie , we can see how the salkinds , those roving multinational mountebanks , ran up the unpaid studio bills in yugoslavia which kept orson welles from building the elaborate vanishing sets he had planned for the trial ( starting realistic , it would have ended up playing in a featureless void ) , necessitating the repurposing of a disused parisian railway station . and here ' s orson himself , in false nose and false , dubbed voice , playing for once an unassuming , rather apologetic character , trying to sell a prototype submarine to the emperor . weirdly , fourteen years later another salkind feature , the four musketeers , would feature another unsuccessful submarine salesman , trying to flog a submersible to the duke of buckingham .\nausterlitz certainly isn ' t the experimental masterpiece napoleon is : a 1960 movie made in the style of the twenties would have looked radical , but this is mostly staged like a forties film . gance had been a somewhat plodding , creaky filmmaker for some years now , his work varying between stilted in an early talkie way and fluid but unadventurous in a forties way . but his cinematographer is the great henri alekan ( la belle et la b\u00eate ) and so there are moments . . . when josephine ( martine carol , oph\u00fcls ' reluctant choice for lola montes ) draws a diaphanous curtain , unnatural filtered lighting tints it different hues , stretching across the dyaliscope frame in a manner that harkens back to the tricolor triptych of napoleon , in which three separate screens were tinted to match the colors of french flag ( in itself , an appallingly vulgar conceit , you would think , only pulled off with such shameless brio that it dazzles and awes ) .\ngance shows napoleon cheating on josephine with claudia cardinale and leslie caron , flirting with nelly kaplan ( also gance ' s co - writer , second unit director and documentarist , above ) and throws in brief bits of a more platonic nature with vittorio de sica ( the pope ) , rossano brazzi , jack palance and jean marais . grizzled old michel simon turns up , and you wouldn ' t think anybody could upstage him , but the duck in his backpack manages just that , by staring directly into the lens with a serene air of superiority to its surroundings . there are scenes in england , where everybody speaks actual english but some have ludicrous french accents . but what ' s devastating is the concentration on interiors .\nthe entire first half of the film transpires indoors , apart from a few moments outside the french windows at night , clearly shot in a studio . these boudoirs and thronerooms and ballrooms are all vast , so we can ' t say it ' s claustrophobic exactly , nor is it cheap - looking , but it ' s definitely rather airless .\nonce we hit the battlefield , the blast of reality is invigorating , but for some reason gance keeps cross - cutting between real exteriors and studio reconstructions . napoleon even manages to walk from one to the other in a single scene , despite the shortness of his legs .\nwith a cast of hundreds rather than thousands , there was no way gance could have equalled the spectacle of his first foray into history , though more dynamic technique would certainly have helped . the lumbering quality of so many widescreen epics of the fifties and sixties descends upon the croatian battlefield . the trouble is , gance doesn ' t have the budget to return to his former triumph or compete with bondarchuk ' s astonishing waterloo ( 1970 ) , with its 60 , 000 extras played by the russian army , and he doesn ' t have the invention born of desperation of welles making chimes at midnight , conjuring an apocalyptic battle with handheld close - ups . he does briefly detach his camera from its tripod , and the effect , juxtaposed with the stodgy sound - stage reenactments , is immediately thrilling , but moments later we ' re back to standard locked - off panoramas .\nat the end , the film does managed one of its periodic grace notes , in which napoleon quite legitimately cements his place in history with dialogue predicting the arc de triomphe and his statue in the place vendome , to be made from the melted enemy cannons .\nthough this often feels like a last gasp , gance would actually return to the subject with napoleon and the revolution , a tv series in 1972 , so that this is merely a single exhalation from a filmmaker who lived and breathed napoleonically .\nbritish director william oldroyd ' s debut film is an unequivocal heir to shakespeare\u2019s canonical work .\nvittorio de sica , sophia loren , and marcello mastroianni : a cinematic trio made in heaven .\nin fritz lang\u2019s masterpiece it is never simply a matter of characters seeing , it ' s a matter of understanding what they ' re seeing .\n20th century women\nis personal\u2014and for the director , semi -

[ laughs . ] you know what i mean ? so i think it was a shift of \u201cyo , let\u2019s do more comedies . \u201d it\u2019s really no incidents , no issues , you know . people enjoy \u2019em , and they go see \u2019em all the time . so i think that just became the black hollywood fare , so to speak .\nic : of course . i think on the consumer tip , of course . and that\u2019s why i do more of these type movies . simply because my records are hard . my records talk about what people are going through most of the time . and these movies\u2014when people go out to the movies , they wanna escape the reality , or see an upbeat reality , you know , that\u2019s not so drab . they respond to these movies and watch them over and over again .\navc : speaking of dramas , there\u2019s going to be a n . w . a . movie . what\u2019s your involvement in that ?\nic : i\u2019ve been working close with new line and tomica wright , eazy - e\u2019s widow , on just kind of getting our ducks in a row on this movie . right now , we\u2019re going into the scriptwriting phase . it\u2019s a lot of outlines . what\u2019s tricky is , it\u2019s five different stories that have to come together and make one linear movie . we can\u2019t put everything in there , or it turns into a miniseries . we\u2019re trying to figure out what stays , what goes , what the movie\u2019s gonna be .\nic : it\u2019s crazy . when i did boyz n the hood , i never thought how we grew up in south central was interesting enough for a movie . and i never would think that my life would be interesting enough for a movie . so it\u2019s just one surprise after another . really , after n . w . a . , it\u2019s been constant growth and surprise .\navc : but your life is definitely part of history . you\u2019re a major part of history of the last 30 years .\nic : yeah . which is cool , you know ? i guess when you first set out to do something , that\u2019s what you wanna be . you wanna be remembered for making an impact and changing things . i guess for the good or for the bad , it don\u2019t matter . but i guess you just wanna be remembered when it\u2019s all said and done .\nic : i think so . i think , to me , reality is better than being fake . n . w . a . was so real , it changed the trajectory of pop culture in a lot of ways . because before , you would have\u2026 take somebody like ike turner , who\u2026 [ punches his palm . ] you know what kind of kid he is , but on tv , he\u2019s a nice guy . now , ike turner could be ike turner . [ laughs . ] you know what i mean ? nowadays , you can be yourself . you don\u2019t have to put on this fa\u00e7ade . you can be who you are and still be just as successful as the ones who put on the fake fa\u00e7ade . you know , it\u2019s like reality is just as important as fiction .\navc : but it seems like with gangsta rap , there\u2019s a lot of non - reality and posturing .\nic : at a certain point , the lines start to blur and crisscross from reality to fantasy . it\u2019s kind of being in a dream world and being in the real world at the same time . that tends to happen with anything . you can take movie - reel shots of the iraq war , or a comic book of the iraq war . one of \u2019em is totally fiction , but it still stems from reality . and it\u2019s kind of the world we live in . you go from reality to damn near comic book on any subject you can think of .\navc : do you think gangsta rap would be the cultural force that it is if were not for n . w . a . ?\nic : i don\u2019t think so . i think we made it more than just gangsta rap . we made it a political statement . we\u2019re most famous for our most political record , \u201cfuck tha police . \u201d it\u2019s a message a lot of people around the world wanted to say for so long , and it\u2019s kind of like we released the floodgates , you know what i mean ?\nic : not only for a community , but for\u2014all over the world , you have people basically loving this song , because it fights the authority that everybody faces all around the world , which is the police and police brutality . you know , i think by that song alone , it sets us apart from the rest .\nic : yeah . i mean , it stems from there and can go on to bigger and better agencies , you know what i\u2019m sayin\u2019 ? we started off talking about our oppressor , our overseer , which was the sheriffs , the police department , l . a . p . d . but from that song , you can stem all the way up the ladder . i think people feel that .\navc : you were bused to school as a kid . how do you think that affected the way you see the world ?\nic : well , i know that it is a world out there . sometimes when you\u2019re relegated to your neighborhood , you forget that there\u2019s more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world . and that just gave me a chance to see how life could be . and it gave me a chance to interact with everybody , not just black people or mexicans . it made me just a little more worldly .\nic : yeah . no doubt . you know , just being on the freeway . [ laughs . ] going through all these different neighborhoods just broadens your horizons .\navc : \u2014and were surprised that it didn\u2019t receive a big release , like a lot of your other films with mike epps . what happened ?\nic : nah . it was the shadiest shit that ever happened to me in the movie business .\navc : and that\u2019s surreal , because that\u2019s what the plot of the film is about : people getting fucked over in business .\nic : exactly . so it\u2019s real ironic . and the movie was unfinished . we still had a few days of reshoots we had to do to shore up the end . it had a lot of loose ends . the music wasn\u2019t right . and they just basically snuck over here , edited it , finished it , and put it out . it was like crackhead shit . stealing the microwave out your grandmamma\u2019s house and selling it on the street . [ laughs . ] so you know , i learned a lesson . but that\u2019s what happened with that movie . that movie would\u2019ve made money . people would\u2019ve went to go see it . they just tanked it .\nic : no ! nah , i\u2019m not happy . \u2019cause it could have been , i think , at least 25 percent better . and you know , you want to finish the movie . you don\u2019t want people to see a rough draft , you know what i\u2019m sayin\u2019 ? so it was kind of wack .\nic : i mean , i ain\u2019t gonna say their names .

( it happened with the rock too . ) despite his starpower in professional wrestling , hulk hogan turned out to not be a fantastic film actor , though it is fun to watch him jump through the roof of a limousine , or feign shock ( or is it anger ? or maybe amusement ? how does one propose i read this scene ? ) over making one henchman poop his pants .\nrl : well , first of all , it doesn\u2019t look like any other cbs show\u2026 and i don\u2019t mean that as any sort of judgment . it\u2019s just unbelievably unique , it\u2019s gorgeous , and it looks like a film . you know , i went from doing something that was very original , sort of subversive , and specific in its voice\u2014 the grinder \u2014and loved every minute of it , but having done that , i was anxious to do something that had more broad appeal and to embrace the good things about that . because there\u2019s good things about both . and to your point , medical - genre shows have been around forever , they will be around forever , and i think this is a great iteration of the next generation .\nmark irwin , cinematographer : when producers would come to toronto , in those days , you actually had to apply to work on a film . the night before my interview , there was this giant blizzard . on thursday morning , there was four feet of snow , and the whole city was shut down . no one called me to cancel the meeting . i couldn\u2019t drive there , because they hadn\u2019t plowed the streets . so i walked in the snowdrifts , which were up to my waist . i got to the meeting and nobody was in the whole building except for peter , ( associate producer ) mark allan and myself . i got the gig because of that meeting but also because peter was impressed that i braved the snow .\ngbs : 3 , 425 . 6 rt : 17 % gruttadaro : in 1999 , will smith was the biggest movie star in hollywood . by then , kevin kline and kenneth branagh were already oscar winners . salma hayek was salma hayek . what could possibly screw up a movie featuring those heavy hitters ? turns out , a gigantic mechanical tarantula . wild wild west is an epic misfire with overly bombastic special effects and next to no coherence . watching it now , it may be the film that is most capable of eliciting the question ,\nwhat were these people thinking ?\nbut all of that chaos \u2014 bearing witness to such an utter failure in filmmaking \u2014 makes for quite a fun viewing experience . plus , the will smith\u2013sisqo collab that accompanied the movie ,\nwild wild west ,\nis an iconic banger .\ni somehow did miss out on this one in my youth and has managed to stay clear of it since . a weirdly fascinating film in spite of all its flaws . one of its bigger weaknesses is the way the actual hockey games are shot - almost all in slow motion - which therefore doesn ' t just emphasize on certain aspects or sequences in the game , but makes it look like they ' re playing really slow . in addition to that i think we find every clich\u00e9 there is to be found in such a story , friendship between rivals , proving one ' s worth to the hard - as - nails coach ( and father ) ( and brother ) ( and the coach ' s daughter ) . and to top it all off , really fine dialogue like this : \u00abyou can learn to punch in the barn , but you gotta learn to survive on the ice . \u00bb like i said , weirdly fascinating .\ngbs : 116 . 5 rt : 37 % victor luckerson : a great bad movie is full of semifamous actors / celebrities \u2014 often referred to as\nthat guy\n\u2014 who immediately seem worse off for having appeared in the film . tokyo drift is full of such revelations . main character lucas black is that guy from friday night lights and the wonderful world of disney movie flash . the dude he races at the start of the movie is that kid from home improvement ( not jonathan taylor thomas , who is too \u201990s - iconic to be\nthat guy\n) . black\u2019s high school buddy is that guy from mediocre early - 2000s rap , also known as bow wow . and the movie ends with the ultimate cameo \u2014 vin diesel , that guy from the original the fast and the furious ! before it could become a blockbuster action franchise , f & f had to devolve into b - movie schlock . watching fame - adjacent actors muddle through the franchise\u2019s critical and commercial nadir is one of life\u2019s great joys ."]}

makers have got in on the act .\nthe film is suffused with a blend of brutality and sentimentality which has characterised the russian psyche for centuries .\narthur askey , richard murdoch and kathleen harrison were the main stars of the film version although saul hodgkin as the station master played a great role in setting the atmosphere for the group . the story concerns a group of mismatched train passengers who end up getting stranded at lonely country railway station called fal vale . the next train to truro is not for another nine hours and to make matters worse , the weather is terrible . they soon learn a local tale of mystery and fear concerning a phantom train that is sometimes heard and seen rushing down the track . the train carries the dead passengers , victims of a train crash that happened many years previously . one of the best lines in the film was by the station master : -\nthe ghost train by arnold ridley -

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

a ghost train . at the time this was filmed the audiences may have gone to watch this for askey ' s comedy but i think today most of us are watching this for a comedy - horror / thriller and not so much for askey .\nthe ghost train has been fully self - funded thus far and we have filmed all but ' one ' scene ! the rest are ' in the can ' as they say , all filmed in high definition and will be broadcast quality when completed . we already have interest from various satellite television companies wanting to possibly transmit the film when it is completed .\nfilm # 23 in my 2016 hoop -

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

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

of - fact way in which they are presented : the obsessive checking of the train passengers\u2019 tickets , for instance ; the removal of the place name signs from the train platforms ; the references to blackouts , and to rationing ; and the willingness of these strangers to pitch in and share their limited resources with one another .\nmystery of the blue train . some fleeting or short exterior images , and the usual interior corridor and compartment shots . incidental . * *\nadditional recommendations by john d . thompson , photographer , writer , steam train and classic movie connoisseur :\na timeless masterpiece . i can watch this film over and over again and still laugh out loud at arthur askey ' s performance . i quote this film more often than i probably should and i just wish more people would watch it to understand the brilliance of it . all of the characters have their own charms in this classic film and it is really something to see a film so light -

by jeyamohan , the tamil - malayalam writer who has been very prolific in churning out scripts for malayalam films in the recent times , begins the story interestingly by showing a naive young girl shubha ( bhama ) who is fooled into marrying someone who is working in africa saying that the groom is working in the usa .\nher husband vinay ( indrajith ) is an engineer working in kenya for a

memories of escape from uganda , which was released late last year ) by the end of the first half . this film turns out to be a disappointment as it does not break away from the myths and misconception about the place as promised in the initial stages of the story .\nthis film was marketed as a comedy telling the story of a new bride experiencing shock of living in africa instead of her dream destination usa . but , the humour vanishes after the first few minutes when shubha says that she will return to india next sunday ( why or how she chooses this day remains a mystery ) and immediately files for a divorce . her plan is to marry someone who is really based in the us of a . yet , everything between the couple becomes okay the next morning .\nthe actors here cannot do anything substantial to lift the lackadaisical script and direction . indrajith and bhama try to be bubbly and vivacious in the initial phase and tensed and worked up in the latter half as the story

year - old grateful dead fan , he was travelling home to florida from a deadhead festival called gathering of the vibes . his friend was behind the wheel , another was in the back seat , every inch of space was jammed with camping equipment . then , at 80mph , the car skidded , jumped three lanes of traffic and flipped eight times . teller was knocked unconscious and woke up 30ft from the vehicle , his face covered in blood .\njessica claire timberlake is an american actress . biel began her career as a vocalist appearing in musical productions until she was cast as mary camden in the family - drama series 7th heaven , for which she achieved recognition . the series is the longest - running series that ever aired on the wb channel and is the longest - running family drama in television history . in 1997 , she won the young artist award for best performance in a feature film \u2013 supporting young actress for her role in ulee ' s gold . biel has since starred in many films , including the rules of attraction , the texas chainsaw massacre , blade : trinity , stealth , i now pronounce you chuck and larry , the a -

universal critical acclaim without the nagging attacks of the tabloids . we may still be humming\nsmelly cat ,\nbut kudrow hasn ' t looked back once .\npersonal life : leblanc is by no means a tabloid fixture , but there was a moment shortly after \u201cfriends\u201d when his private life got stickier than that time joey threw his date\u2019s artificial leg into a fire . leblanc and his wife , former model melissa mcknight , welcomed daughter marina three months before \u201cfriends\u201d said its final goodbye , but the familial bliss didn\u2019t last long . in august 2005 , leblanc gave an interview to the national enquirer ( yes , he really did that ) confessing to inappropriate conduct with a stripper during a motorcycle trip to british columbia . the stripper later sued leblanc for defamation over the interview , then dropped the case . leblanc and mcknight divorced in 2006 . he began dating \u201cjoey\u201d co - star andrea anders that same year , and the couple has been together ever since .\npersonal life : it\u2019s been mostly smooth sailing . in 2006 , schwimmer won $ 400 , 000 from a convicted con man who defamed him by claiming he demanded two rolex watches to attend a charity event . then came love : schwimmer met photographer zoe buckman in 2007 , and it took the press four months to find out that he secretly married her in 2010 . buckman gave birth to baby girl cleo the next year . more recently , schwimmer royally pissed off his new york city neighbors when he bought a preserved townhouse built in 1852 only to completely demolish it , prompting an unfortunate spray - painted message outside his residence : \u201cross is not cool . \u201d\nwatson attended the stagecoach theatre arts school at oxford . she studied singing , acting and dancing , and performed in school plays . her natural instinct for acting first came out when she won a poetry competition for reciting james reeves & apos ;\nthe sea\nat age 7 . watson had never acted professionally when her theater teachers suggested her to agents looking to cast an upcoming movie based on the first novel of the best -

lewis will do when he re - teams with blood director paul thomas anderson .\nconclusion :\njoey\nwas a well - publicized misfire , but luckily for leblanc , the spinoff has largely faded from memory and become a footnote to the massive success of\nfriends .\nthe same can be said for that unfortunate stripper ordeal . as a self - described hermit , leblanc hasn\u2019t fared well as far as visibility goes , but the low profile of\nepisodes\ncan ' t take away its awards attention , and the show ' s sustainability over several seasons is a win .\nthe question is : is miles teller the new ryan gosling or even the next de niro or pacino ? or is he , excuse the bluntness , a dick ? on a saturday afternoon in august , teller strides into a swanky hotel suite on the 39th floor that\u2019s just about eye level with the clouds . he is in town to promote his new movie , war dogs , directed by the hangover \u2019s todd phillips , but he has shazzy blond hair from a film he\u2019s currently shooting with josh brolin and jennifer connelly , about firefighters tackling a wildfire that raged through arizona in 2013 .\nconclusion : schwimmer\u2019s strategy of largely withdrawing from hollywood has helped him avoid the high - profile failures suffered by some of his former cast mates , but disappearing on purpose comes at a steep cost . he\u2019s fallen so far from the public consciousness that his marriage took months to make a blip on the radar ( just imagine if jennifer aniston tried to have a secret wedding ) . in a celebrity culture where buzz is the key to success , it\u2019s a bad sign that most of america only thinks of schwimmer when they catch a \u201cfriends\u201d rerun .\nawards : aniston hasn ' t gotten much attention from prestige award shows , save for an emmy nod in 2009 for her guest spot on\n30 rock ,\nbut she ' s had better luck with lower -

a passionate , funny , and impetuous irishman named gerry . so when gerry ' s life is taken by an illness , it takes the life out of holly . the only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there . nobody knows holly better than gerry . so it ' s a good thing he planned ahead . before he died , gerry wrote holly a series of letters that will guide her , not only through her grief , but in rediscovering herself . the first message arrives on holly ' s 30th birthday in the form of a cake , and to her utter shock , a tape recording from gerry , who proceeds to tell her to get out and\ncelebrate herself\n. in the weeks and months that follow , more letters from gerry are delivered in surprising ways , each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way ; p . s . i love you . holly ' s mother and best friends begin to worry that gerry ' s letters are keeping holly tied to the past , but in fact , each letter is pushing . . .\n\u201ci\u2019d say that you get a little more guarded but i\u2019m actually not , \u201d he goes on . \u201ccertain times i\u2019ll choose my words very carefully and maybe come off a little more boring . but i also think that\u2019s why people \u2013 certain people \u2013 do relate to me : because there is no agenda , honestly . i was raised middle - 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 - fiction and adventure films were seen as archetypes of modern hollywood blockbuster filmmaking . in later years , his films began addressing humanistic issues such as the holocaust , the transatlantic slave trade , war , and terrorism . he is one of the co -

list lifestyle or continued ability to be cast in big - budget movies . but she ' s become more of a celebrity than an actress , which is not ideal for someone who slams tabloid culture at every turn . aniston has lost control of her own image , and now she ' s at the mercy of us weekly .\nafter concluding the harry potter series , watson starred in the perks of being a wallflower ( 2012 ) , the bling ring ( 2013 ) , this is the end ( 2013 ) , and noah ( 2014 ) . in 2017 , she played the lead role of belle in the live -

nineteenth century version of the plays . what is the difference ? many ordinary readers assume that there is a single text for the plays : what shakespeare wrote . but shakespeare\u2019s plays were not published the way modern novels or plays are published today : as a single , authoritative text . in some cases , the plays have come down to us in multiple published versions , represented by various quartos ( qq ) and by the great collection put together by his colleagues in 1623 , called the first folio ( f ) . there are , for example , three very different versions of\nhelen , the daughter of a dead physician , secretly loves bertram , the count of rosillion\u2019s son . when the count dies , bertram becomes a ward of the french king , who is dying of a fistula . helen heals the ailing king , and he grants her wish to marry his ward . bertram refuses to consummate the marriage and goes off to war , sending helen a list of seemingly impossible conditions to be met before he will consider her his wife .\nother editorial decisions involve choices about whether an unfamiliar word could be understood in light of other writings of the period or whether it should be changed ; decisions about words that made it into shakespeare\u2019s text by accident through four hundred years of printings and misprinting ; and even decisions based on cultural preference and taste . when the moby\u2122 text was created , for example , it was deemed \u201cimproper\u201d and \u201cindecent\u201d for miranda to chastise caliban for having attempted to rape her .

' s sudden death at age 55 , when lillian gilbreth takes over the family business .\nand yet , it doesn ' t make them a baker ' s dozen .\nset in 1921 , the film is very much along the lines of the famous life with father - but even better .\nthe glorious war of sisterly rivalry : lorraine and sarah have entered this even deeper than in the first film .\nthis hungarian film is a careful , compassionate and beautifully acted character drama with a social conscience .\ncommon sense media ' s unbiased ratings are created by expert reviewers and aren ' t influenced by the product ' s creators or by any of our funders , affiliates , or partners .\nferguson concurs with this :\nthe family never got over the loss of mary and continued to refer to the dozen , even though all twelve were never contemporaries . . . . this out of the family ' s long sadness over her loss [ cheaper by the dozen was published over 30 years after mary ' s death ] and their feeling that mary was still with them , in spirit .\n2003 film starring steve martin about him , his wife and their twelve kids . count ' em , twelve .\nmagazine and newspaper articles offer no new information , but they do confirm the idea that there are two public versions of the gilbreths out there - - the cheaper by the dozen family ( the book technically being a work of historical fiction ) , with 12 kids , and\nthe gilbreths ,\nwith 11 . neither versions acknowledges the other , but neither is either hidden .\ndespite this , and the fact that wacky chaos , not time management , seems to be the point of the enterprise , in a lot of ways the remake looks quite similar to the 1950 film , down to the way the studio is using the kids in the family as a chance to incorporate current teen stars ( tom welling and hilary duff instead of jeanne crain and barbara bates ) . this new movie , cheaper by the dozen ' s continued popularity , whatever it is that causes the idea of a big family to resonate in our collective psyche : that ' s the other part of how the\nsecret\nof mary is perpetuated .

' you missed the second baby up front here , mister , ' dad would call over his shoulder .\n: tom gets mark ' s name wrong twice throughout the film . both times , mark corrects him . the second time , tom corrects himself after getting it wrong .\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\nplease don ' t leave me : a variation . mark is seen late in the film begging beans not to die . unfortunately , beans does die .\n: a fairly obvious example in which tom mentions in the first scene how the family could do with change\u2014 - of which a lot , of course , ends up happening over the course of the film .\none of my favorite characters is mr . belvedere as played by clifton webb . a man that is a genius and knows everything about anything including raising children but very little patience for kids . so the idea of webb raising a dozen little ones was interesting . the film about the gilbreth family , in the early 20th century turns into a wonderful family picture as webb is mr frank gilbreth , a man concerned with efficiency . a role perfect for webb . gilbreth is a very strict and opinionated man about how to do things quicker and faster . gilbreth even has opinions about the quickest way to operate on tonsils , even though he is not a doctor . the best way to prove his theory is to film the mass operation of eleven children and himself . the whole film truly centers on the love of a man for his family and webb is the perfect person for this picture . the ending is a sad event because the film takes the time to develop lovable characters that you care about . a film well worth the time to sit and have a bag of popcorn and\nsoda pop\nand don ' t forget your dog . enjoy !\nwe always thought of ourselves as our parents ' ' dozen , '\ncarey wrote .\nthis included mary .\nwhile some might be critical of this movie for being\noverly cheerful and sappy\n, i find\ncheaper by the dozen\nand movies like it of their time a haven in today ' s sexualized , blow ' em up assortment of trash . this movie is pure entertainment . you don ' t have to think . just sit back , laugh and enjoy .\ni have seen the 1950 version of\ncheaper by the dozen\nperhaps a dozen times ! it is a delightful glimpse of influential family life in the 1920 ' s . there are too many children , but this movie is funny because of clifton webb , who was a master of comedy in his detached , upper crust style , as in other movies such as another classic ,\nmr . belvedere .\nseems like\nwe\nhave gotten too sophisticated these days to appreciate the innocence of movies like this one . there was laughter , a little love - interest , problems with kids , certainly sadness , and coping with so many children . but , it is appealing because there is no blood and guts , no explicit sex scenes and no foul language . this movie is a classic !\nfood and animal attraction : the kids prank the nora ' s boyfriend by dipping his underclothes in meat and setting the family dog on him .\nbefore filming began , schmidt was given the choice by the prop department to play either the trumpet or the clarinet . having had experience with the clarinet in his school ' s music class , he opted for that . however , the second film required more strenuous training , so schmidt spent a month in a hotel in toronto taking clarinet lessons .\n( 1950 ) is the story of frank gilbreth , an industrial engineer and efficiency expert , and his wife lillian , a psychologist , who are raising a family of 12 children in the 1920s . gilbreth uses his brood as guinea pigs for his motion study and efficiency theories , with many comic complications , while his wife is the mediator and voice of reason . the film is episodic rather than plot - driven , but it ' s a great showcase tailored to the talents of clifton webb and myrna loy .\nscreenplay : lamar trotti , based on the novel by frank b . gilbreth , jr . and ernestine gilbreth carey\nworse , the move is scheduled to coincide with the national tour to promote the new book about the family by tom ' s wife , kate ( bonnie hunt ) .\nparents need to know that cheaper by the dozen , which is set in the 1920s and based on a true story , offers a rosy look at parenting a very large family , but surprises at the end when one of the principal characters dies ( off camera ) . the death is unexpected and significantly changes the upbeat , life - affirming tone of rest of the movie . other than its sad ending and a scene in which a representative from planned parenthood is made the butt of jokes about birth control and large families , it ' s a sweet , but thin , depiction of the values , activities , and customs of a time gone by .\ncheaper by the dozen\n, based on the real - life story of the gilbreth family , follows them from providence , rhode island to montclair , new jersey , and details the amusing anecdotes found in large families . frank gilbreth , sr . , was a pioneer in the field of motion study , and often used his family as guinea pigs ( with amusing and sometimes embarrassing results ) . he resisted popular culture , railing against his daughters ' desires for bobbed hair and cosmetics .\nno good deed goes unpunished : played with . when jake , jessica , kim and mike find out mark is being bullied at school , they give the bullies a dose of laser - guided karma by beating them up . it still gets them punished both by their principal , and then by tom , who grounds them .\nhere ' s my old copy of cheaper by the dozen right here . the bright orange binding is worn through to the cardboard , there are grape juice stains all through chapter 3 , and a couple of pages are stuck together with what still , incredibly , smells like peanut butter . god , i loved that book . i read it over and over again as pure escapism . i was an only child curled up at the end of the sofa , imagining what it would be like to have 11 brothers and sisters .\nmark is seen late in the film tending to beans and at one point begging him not to die . unfortunately , he does die and the argument that follows sarah ' s rude outburst causes mark to run away .\ntom baker , the steve martin character in\ncheaper by the dozen ,\nhas a good heart and loves his wife and kids , but that leaves him with a few promising character flaws . he is incapable of inspiring discipline , for example , and would sacrifice his family to his ambition . he ' s a football coach for a cow college in midland , ill . , but is offered the head coaching job at lincoln university in evanston . we ' re supposed to think of northwestern .\nmatt osterman\u2019s allegorical thriller , written by its star , cleopatra coleman , flirts with topicality on several fronts .\nadoption diss : mark ' s nickname of\nfedex\nis used by his siblings to imply this .\nthere never were a dozen kids . while the gilbreths did indeed produce 12 children , according to the plan famously hatched on their honeymoon , the second - oldest , mary , died of diphtheria in 1912 at age six , which means that she died around the time the sixth child , bill , was born . which means that there weren ' t even 12 children , then later 11 - - there never were a dozen .\nin the first chapter of belles on their toes , the children are lined up to see their mother off on a trip . it ' s a poignant scene , something they did regularly in cheaper by the dozen for their father , but are now doing as their mother tries to take her husband ' s place in the professional world , and there ' s a roll call of the children ' s names . at that point , rather than working around mary ' s absence , the authors acknowledge it in a terse footnote - - the only mention of her death in the text of either book . from then on , belles is about the eleven .\ncheaper by the dozen is based on the true life experiences of a family with a dozen children , although when watching the film you have to suspect that some of these\nevents\nwere embellished for the sake of laughs rather than accuracy . and clifton webb , in stiff collar and still bossing everyone around , reminds one of mr . belevedere with a family . still , he ' s the main reason for watching this highly sentimental illusion of what family life was like in america in the early 20th century . the film itself is no more than a series of vignettes , just glimpses of humorous minor events that happened in a family where the father ruled the roost while the mother ( myrna loy ) took care of the children and her husband , not necessarily in that order . myrna loy and jeanne crain ( as the oldest daughter ) , don ' t have much to do and crain is a bit simpering and coy in a role she was really too old to play . but most of the kids have some good moments and it ' s all over in a brisk 86 minutes , so no need to squabble about too many dull moments . if you like clifton webb as an eccentric and overbearing efficiency expert , you ' ll get a lot of amusement from this one .\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 .\nclifton webb is a joy in this delightful film , based on a true story , of an eccentric genius and his twelve children . the color is gorgeous , and the interior design of the family ' s new jersey home ought to have won an oscar . myrna loy is solid as webb ' s patient , loving wife , and jeanne crain energetic as his spunky daughter . there isn ' t much story here , as events unfold naturally , as they do in life , and one isn ' t always sure where the film is going . early twentieth century america is captured in all its overstuffed , art nouveau - ish glory , as the film ' s plot , irregular , often going off on odd tangents , perfectly mimics that style of design so popular at the time . the movie is really about the end of an era , as we see the very tail end of the gilded age turning into the roaring twenties , and with it the death of the old paternalism , at times stiff , occasionally charming , perfectly embodied by mr . webb ; and there is an awesome sadness at the film ' s conclusion , as we see a man and his era pass into history .\n6 / 10 i haven ' t watched this film in a really long time , and i remember very little . what i do remember , however , was he interesting family dynamic , the pretty good performances , and the tragic ending .\nthe drawing of the galaxy in the beach house is m -

rate performances by clifton webb and myrna loy as father and mother shine like jewels in the midst of leon shamroy ' s rich colour photography .\nthe way the gilbreths ' theories of scientific management and time saving sometimes worked and sometimes didn ' t when applied toward large scale childrearing lend cheaper by the dozen much of its charm . pet tactics of frank sr . ' s such as calling a\nfamily council\nto discuss important decisions , playing french language records while the kids brushed their teeth , or painting morse code on the walls of their vacation home are treated with an adult ' s fond but unsentimental eye : sometimes a hassle , sometimes inspired examples of their parents ' professional work , sometimes funny in their unintended aftereffects , and sometimes undeniably useful in raising and training a household of so many kids .\nwhile the crew would\nturn around the universe\n\u2014 a . k . a . switch the cameras and lights to the other side of the frame \u2014 the baker patriarch would go to his trailer and play the banjo on the steps . though it was just for his own amusement , the kids eventually gathered around him to listen . schmidt said that martin loved to see how much the kids were enthralled by the banjo .\nmark does this by running away after beans dies , saying no one cares about him and it ' s not until the evening of the same day that anyone notices he has gone .\nan orphaned girl is taken in by a snobbish family at the insistence of their rich , crotchety uncle , even as her devoted aviator godfather fights for custody .\nrule of pool : invoked by the kids as the first part of the plan to get rid of hank when he first arrives , resulting him in being tripped with a garden hose and landing in a paddling pool .\nwe love the idea of a dozen , are loath to give it up , though i ' m still not sure why . maybe it ' s the idea that such a very large number of kids seems mutinous , always on the edge of taking over , especially in numbers that can be counted like troops . or it ' s the symmetry , or the postwar abundance it spoke to . maybe it ' s the excess so many children embody : so many personalities , all those daily needs , and - - in the end - - so much warmth . many people love these books as kind of a surrogate family . maybe they give us a chance to gawk at that many genetic throws of the dice , test our own ideas about nature and nurture - - although cheaper by the dozen is hilariously sanguine about the forced show - pony quality of living in such a family . which is why i will always find their decision to take the 12 idea as big as they did odd . the crack in the center of the conceit will always throw the book off true just a bit , making some hypnotized child reader wonder in the back of his brain what adults aren ' t telling him .\nin as i remember lillian gilbreth wrote that after mary ' s death , frank\nnever could answer the question ' how many children have you ? ' without stopping to calculate ,\nwhich seems to sum up the enduring mystery about mary ; not her existence , but how different versions of the truth are allowed , even encouraged , to live alongside each other , even within cheaper by the dozen . you ' d think they would have been piercingly aware that there were 11 , not 12 , but this certainly matches what seems now to be the case . mary ' s death was both a horrible blow and a uniquely papered - over one - - for public consumption , in the context of her parents ' work , and within the family .\nhey , i liked\ncheaper by the dozen .\nthese actors are skilled at being nice . it ' s just that the movie settles when it ought to push . consider the bonnie hunt character . here she ' s reasonable , exasperated , and loves that lunk of a husband . but compare her work here with what she did in\nstolen summer\n( you remember , that 2002\nproject greenlight\nmovie i recommended , but you ignored my review and went to see\nsorority boys\ninstead ) . in that one she was the mother of a large irish catholic family in chicago , where she had edge and sass and was not afraid to smack a potty - mouth up alongside the head .\nwebb , who had begun his career as a ballroom dancer and became a star of the broadway musical stage in the 1910s and 1920s , had also become a hollywood star by the mid - 1940s . in 1948 , he created the character of the comically supercilious babysitter mr . belvedere in\ni have just seen this film for the first time and was charmed by the slightly drifting plot , the beautiful sets , and first - class acting from clifton webb and myrna loy . only the typically 50 ' s freckly - faced children grated somewhat ( just a personal dislike ! ! ) . but such a contrast between this gentle humour and the ' in - your - face ' style of the steve martin remake , which is admittedly good in its way , but with its modern setting cannot hope to characterise the situation of the real family . there ' s an interesting parallel between this father and christopher plummer ' s character in the sound of music . cp portrays a man who finds it difficult to express emotion , and regiments his children to avoid dealing with their individual needs . clifton webb ' s character is very loving in his own way , there is real concern that the children be equipped for the adult world , and his relationship with his wife shows a delightful tenderness . i thoroughly recommend this as a family film , if you ' re not too jaded by modern crassness to appreciate it !\nbut the gilbreths , intentionally or not , planted just enough clues for generations of readers to be forever curious about mary , even if that ' s the last thing they wanted . in the preface to the most recent harperperennial paperback edition of cheaper by the dozen , carey ruefully describes the effects of curiosity , a trait vigorously encouraged in the gilbreth family , which led to the book , and thus to a lifetime of endless questions from readers .\nwhat a range of queries , personal and professional , now confront me . here are examples of a few : ' what happened to your sister mary ? after a while , you and your brother forgot to mention her . why ? did she die , maybe ? if she did die , then i want to hear how , please . '\nshe doesn ' t provide any answers , though , leaving mary the missing puzzle piece for which kids will always be scrambling .\npoor ashton kutcher ' s character had his underwear soaked in meat and was attacked by dogs , but the kids didn ' t know the actor was playing hank until the day of shooting . schmidt was thrilled to see kutcher , since they had just worked on the butterfly effect together .\nthis movie is an excellent slice of life back in the day . the father and the mother were both pioneers in motion studies and took on the challenge of raising a dozen children according to their precepts of high educational and moral standards and this movie concerns the various humorous situations that occur throughout the years including the woman who was told that the mother would be a good\nfamily planning representative ,\ndemocratic family meetings , the father ' s insistence that the girls wear old fashioned bathing costumes at the beach , the father ' s stand against make up and new - style undergarments . sadly , the father suffered a fatal heart attack while traveling and we get to see the family pull together to enable the mother to carry on with the family business .\nas mark is leaving for school at the start and tells kate he doesn ' t feel like he fits in the baker family , kate tells him he does fit and hugs him , then seconds later gets distracted by nigel and kyle wrestling on the lawn .\nvery charming , low - key film . it wasn ' t really long enough to get to know and differentiate between the necessarily huge cast , but i liked them all well enough that i found myself wishing it was a tv show that could develop all the characters at leisure . kind of felt like a tv show in the lackadaisical pace and lack of any strong conflict . was thinking about what a pleasant slice - of - life film it was with less than 10 minutes to go , when it suddenly veers into tragedy . kind of wish they ' d just stopped it before that since it didn ' t fit the tone up to that point and they didn ' t give adequate time to deal with the trauma .\nthe staircase / entrance way with the green wall paper and double doors under the landing to the left is the same staircase / entrance way used in the tv series dark shadows . the green wall paper is not there in dark shadows , but it ' s the exact same set .\ntom and kate baker ' s five girls and seven boys add up to a family rich in fun , laughter - and barely - controlled chaos ! but when tom lands an exciting new job , and kate goes on tour to promote her new best - selling book , the dozen siblings revolt , turning the clan upside - down .\nexiled to the couch : implied . before mark is revealed by kate to have run away , kate tells tom\nfeel free to sleep on the couch\n. tom replies\nyou read my mind\n, implying he was going to anyway .\nbig families headed by loving , but strict parents can be successful . at the same time , when kids assert their independence reasonably , parents must learn to be flexible . in times of crisis , families should stick together .\nanother factor in the decision not to talk about mary appears to be the blow that her death was to her father ' s sense that the vagaries of the world were manageable , even conquerable , through the principles of industrial engineering . in the 1949 biography frank and lillian gilbreth : partners for life , edna yost claimed that frank ' s\nwas not the normal reaction of a man to death , for this death was his first forced admission of failure in a project to which he had given his utmost .\nfrank , wrote lillian gilbreth in as i remember ,\ninsisted on trying his techniques , but it was no use . . . . for the first time in his life [ he ] faced a situation which he could not master .\ndave ferguson , an engineer who runs the gilbreth network web site , a clearinghouse for information on frank and lillian ' s work that ' s not formally connected with the family but is run with their approval , says ,\nyou have to understand that the gilbreths - - particularly frank - - did not accept death as a natural course of things .\n( a constant theme in cheaper by the dozen is that illness was considered a weakness . )\nthe song\nsweet lelani\nthat tom black is strumming with his ukulele on the beach was actually written by harry owens for his daughter in 1934 , many years after the time that this movie is set . it also won an academy award for best song in 1937 when it appeared in the movie , waikiki wedding ( 1937 ) .\njudge william hooks cited the defendant\u2019s \u201cremorse\u201d for the crime , but the victim\u2019s loved ones say that claim rings false .\na little girl named star lives with a lighthouse keeper who rescued her when her parents drowned . a truant officer decides she should go to boarding school but she ' s rescued by relatives .\ndespair event horizon : after the segment with oprah is ruined , kate and tom have all but stopped talking , the children are all at each other ' s throats and mark ' s beloved frog suddenly dies . and then mark runs away , fed up with all the fighting and feeling neglected by his family .\nalso , you may be defending your brother by beating up his bullies , but that doesn ' t mean you won ' t get punished for it . namely , a trip to the principal ' s office and then being grounded .\non the shelf in the living room is a picture of the real life frank gilbreth in uniform as an army major during wwi . this is visible outside the makeshift operating room during the mass tonsillectomies .\nby mike sula , kate schmidt , holly greenhagen , kathie bergquist , martha bayne , julia thiel , michael gebert , gary wiviott , david hammond , susannah j . felts and elizabeth m . tamny\nthe chandelier contractor after he falls off the ladder and sees the chandelier about to fall on top of him . again .\nthis is the way all movies should be and rarely are . top notch casting , great character development , a solid story , and a fantastic script prove that you don ' t need explosions , blood and guts violence , wall - to - wall profanity or t & a to make a great movie . the cast really makes this film fun . clifton webb takes the lead with his usual terrific acting as the head of the gilbreath household of the 1920 ' s . myrna loy ' s calm portrayal as mrs . gilbreath and jeanne crain ' s energetic eldest daughter needing to break the old - fashioned mold offset the father figure ' s old - fashioned attitudes wonderfully . the cast of children as well as the school chums round out the ensemble . botton line : this movie is well worth the time to watch and very much worth the money to own .\nthis movie is a good , clean , entertaining movie that all can enjoy . although it is 54 years old , it would be enjoyed by children and teenagers of today . it lets todays kids see how previous generations lived and acted during their daily lives . i just wish that today ' s generation still had some of the old family values . the dance scene at the school gym , is a must to see . plus , kids today would have a fit if they had to wear the clothing that was worn back then . the vacation scene showing bathing suits of the era has to be seen to be believed . i just wish the movie had been longer . by far , the original movie is a lot better than the newly released version with steve martin .\nthe point here , by the way , is not to meanly spotlight a family tragedy or make mary\nnot count\n- - if the gilbreths found the inclusion of mary comforting rather than creepy , who am i to judge ? - - but rather to tackle some of the sadness one can feel as a reader at the constant rounding up to 12 , the lingering curiosity about the spectral 12th child . it scarcely seems possible that , as dave ferguson speculates ,\nit would have been hard to notice one was missing .\nwhile the bakers played apple schmear , football and baseball were the pastimes on set .\na highly episodic comedy with little in the way of a solid plot and certain segments which are dragged on beyond what is necessary , the film is nevertheless good overall , with some really amusing bits in the mix too . clifton webb is very good as the fuddy - duddy father of the gang , and he adds a few extra sparks to the material . based on true happenings , it surprisingly seems very fictitious , however that is not really a factor that subtracts much from it . i am yet to see the 2003 remake and i cannot say that i really want to - a modern updating of the material is only likely to ruin it . part of what makes it work is the sense of nostalgia that it has .\ni enjoyed the movie . it is a little corny in places , but damned good , and it is able to show that a better world might exist . also , the gilbreth boy who seems to be about twelve years old looks like michael eisner , but that name is not in the credits . comments ? somewhere along the way , the pinhead pushers of rot have taken over our entertainment and made it ugly and political . it seems that in allowing more license that the subtleties of a good story are lost . good new movies seem to be less and less frequent . ten lines yet ? i noticed that one of the persons commenting thought the whole thing was awful . my guess is that the person is young and is from some big city where the values seen in the movie have been replaced by modern vulgarities , and in fact are made to seem nothing but things imagined by a writer .\nthe parents of 12 kids are shown as loving , reliable , and committed to their children ' s education and good behavior . the father ' s over - involvement is tempered by the mother ' s restraint and wisdom . set in 1921 gender roles are old - fashioned ; the father thinks he has the final word . however , it becomes apparent that mrs . gilbreth is a highly educated woman who will later find great success in the business world . no ethnic diversity .\nuntil her water breaks in the middle of the final event and she finally has to admit she needs to go to the hospital .\ntoo bad we get 88 mins of the former and only 2 mins of the latter .\ntom at the beginning during breakfast when he sees beans in the lamp above the table , with mark reaching towards it with his net .\nschmidt , who reunited with stoner earlier this year , said he sees his movie sister often and that they ' ve collaborated on projects . he also sees hilary duff , who played lorraine baker , pretty regularly .

life story of the gilbreth family , whose scientist father runs the house and twelve children on a firm but regimental scale . clifton webb is dad and myrna loy is mum , and they make a convincing couple , and the switch from the comic to the tragic is deftly handled , setting the scene for the sequel belles on their toes .\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\nloy agreed with crain ' s description of webb , an inveterate scene stealer , who used stage tricks like moving around and forcing her to move off her marks . after cinematographer leon shamroy blew up at loy for ruining the shot , a chastened webb behaved , although he never apologized . loy shrugged it off , and they remained friends , but according to loy , when webb watched her do an emotional scene he was not in , he accused her of trying to steal the film from him .\nfatal flaw : pride is tom ' s throughout the film . he moves the family to their new home simply so he can pursue his dream job and look good in front of shake . he also tells kate he can handle looking after the kids by himself when she goes to new york . cue an oh crap from him when she tells him she ' s gone for at least two weeks , and he has to ask nora for help , which means she has to give up time from her new job . understandably , kate is quite angry with tom when she comes home . and all of this ends up leading to mark running away . when tom catches up to him , mark tells tom he didn ' t keep his promise of them becoming a happier and stronger family .\nclay spencer is a hard -

appointed suite - type room across the fish pond from the restaurant , with a two - sided verandah bordering the pond . it was lovely . the small - ish swimming pool behind reception was spotlessly clean , and a great way to spend an hour - 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 -

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 -

director niv fichman presides over a fusion of ma\u2019s bach and kabuki dancing by tamasaburo bando \u2014 a union that neither hurts nor helps either idiom , but is certainly filmed in gorgeously rich colors .\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 .\nproduction : filmed by rhombus media in co -

( + tickets & downloads )\nhis clarity of exposition is just extraordinary , and the combination of physical gesture and inner life , which was so beautifully reflected in the skating of torvill and dean during the sixth suite , captures bach ' s very essence . bach himself was made to appear in the latter film , in the person of actor tom mccamus , spinning a narrative about his life and thinking which was intercut with the movements of the suite . informative , if somewhat naive in style , this biographical element was certainly more acceptable than the rambling discussions that overloaded the treatment of suite no 2 .\nthroughout the six films , one is amazed anew at how endlessly durable bach\u2019s stark , now life - affirming , now morose compositions are . they can take everything the filmmakers throw at them \u2014 even the tightly stylized rituals of kabuki theater and the harsh jackhammers and sirens of downtown boston .\nthe bach museum is open from tuesday to sunday . there is an admission fee , with free entry for children aged up to 16 . the museum is located opposite st . thomas church , which has a bus stop outside . walk here from nearby market square and the old town hall .\nthe bourr\u00e9e is in e minor while\nblackbird\nis in g major - so they share the same key signature of one sharp - and both use highly chromatic harmony , but there is no clear relationship . this makes me wonder why so many have assumed the bourr\u00e9e to be the correct bach piece . might it be some other ? as it turns out , no , it is the bourr\u00e9e . paul might not know the name of it , but he can still play it , and on 28 july 2005 , paul performed a live solo concert at abbey road studios , which was recorded and released as chaos and creation at abbey road . during the performance , he again cited bach as an influence on\nblackbird\nand even played a few measures of the bach original to illustrate the similarities ( which can be heard from about 37 : 39 - 38 : 51 in the video below ) .\nthe only similarity i hear by listening is that they ' re both played on acoustic guitars . ( but even then , the guitar paul played on\nblackbird\nhad metal strings , whereas classical guitars typically use nylon strings to give a warmer sound - and the above recording is no exception ) . perhaps score study will yield results .\njohann sebastian bach was born in eisenach in 1685 and was one of the most influential figures in the baroque music movement . although he has many famous works , including the soaring brandenburg concertos , his weekly commissions from churches in leipzig meant that he composed hundreds of songs , airs and toccatas before his death in 1750 .\nthey did for ice dancing what bach did for the cello ,\nsays mr . ma , who began playing the cello at age 4 .\nthey both work with a strict form , but through working this way , they ' re able to find unbelievable freedom of expression and freedom of depth ,\nhe says .\nit ' s half a tribute , half a joke about the technique of bach because it ' s a new way of creating music that we don ' t know anything about in pop . basically , when you do a pop song you put down some chords and you sing a melody on top of them , the counterpoint is something completely different . it ' s just melodies between them , which create a song by mixing them together - - there ' s not a chord . it was the origin of the project , when i recorded it went much further than that but because it was in the beginning , the first step , i just decided to call the album like that .\ncomputers have been working as a canvas , paintbrush , or musical instrument for a while now , says the director of the spanish artificial intelligence research institute . however , in addition to serving as tools for art , \u201cmachines are now also capable of creating something that did not exist before by combining known things in a new way . \u201d in other words , they can be creative .\nyet with all due respect to bach , the primary focal ( and marketing ) point and unifying factor at the core of these films is the indestructibly sweet personality and gentle charisma of yo - yo ma himself . with an almost ingenuous spirit , he glides serenely through each setting , exuding a calming presence even amidst the most bizarre or fractious personalities and situations .\n\u201cas the first rhine class river yacht , crystal bach will introduce a new standard of luxury in river cruising on many fronts , including the culinary concept and innovative experiences found on board , \u201d said edie rodriguez , ceo and president of crystal . \u201cwhile we are always pursuing new and distinctive experiences on each of our luxury vessels , our overall dedication to unsurpassed quality and abundant choices remains constant . \u201d\n\u201cthe culinary experience aboard all crystal vessels is meant to inspire travellers to discover more about the world they explore , as food and the camaraderie of dining is such an integral part of the travel experience , \u201d said toni neumeister , senior vice president of hotel operations . \u201cguests aboard crystal bach will not only enjoy extraordinary new and classic flavours , but also a taste of the history and culture of this beautiful region . \u201d\nmenu highlights will include fresh fish and seafood from holland , seasonal fruits and vegetables from germany and the netherlands , meat and poultry from farmers in bavaria and the austrian alps , along with wine , beers and cheeses that are specific to the region . in addition , guests will be able to enjoy coffees and teas by julius meinl , a vienna - based company which has crafted the beverages since 1862 . there will also be multiple dedicated vegetarian dishes .\nyeah , sometimes i had to be brave because i thought it was great and then the next morning it wasn ' t good . i had a lot of doubts and i was by myself , you know when you ' re in a band and you can share the process with someone ? when you ' re alone you never know if you ' re going in the right direction or not , because there ' s no one to tell you .\nan actor , tom mccamus , plays a melancholy bach , with pipe , contemplating god , death , his children , his patron prince leopold and other matters . ' ' life is a symphony of sorrows , ' ' he sighs . and unseen , but a most imposing presence , is the director , patricia rozema , who must be held responsible for the on - screen consequences of a hard - working camera and computer .\nsix gestures director - writer , patricia rozema ; based on an original concept by yo - yo ma ; falling down stairs director , barbara willis sweete ; choreographer , mark morris ; camera , milan podsedly ; editor ; david new ; sound , john j . thomson , steven epstein , charles harbutt . cast : yo - yo ma , mark morris , mark morris dance group . sarabande director - writer , atom egoyan ; camera , norayr kasper ; editor ; david [ \u2026 ]\nit caught me by surprise , after one minute i said \u2014 ' that ' s it , i have to change something in my life , what i ' m doing is not where i ' m meant to be as a human being . ' it was good when i started my career but right now with the experience and with all of my knowledge i understood that i was not making the music that i should considering all that i did in the past\u2014it was time for me to move on and turn the page , i understood that right away when i saw the documentary .\npaul further admitted that\nthe bit where we went wrong , i later took that , the idea that you get the bass line and the top line ( the melody ) and turned it into ' blackbird ' .\nand now it makes sense ! comparing the bourr\u00e9e ( as paul played it ) and\nblackbird\nside by side , we can easily see the similarity . the example below shows in blue notes that are identical between the two , while red notes indicate comparable ( if not identical ) similarities . further notice that paul adds several notes ( the black ones ) .\nthis is not the first time that bach\u2019s cello suites have been filmed ; as recently as 1992 , mstislav rostropovich performed the cycle for homevideo , but those were strictly performance films with added interview footage . what we have here are six mergers of ma\u2019s world with other art forms , captured in films ranging in style from a straightforward documentary to a self - contained film with its own storyline . in a sense , ma is looking backward and forward at the same time , planting his feet solidly in the cello repertoire\u2019s most hallowed ground while reaching out to six different film directors in order to break new ground .\nin the car , it ' s the best alignment to listen to music , i have no idea why but when you ' re in the car and you ' re driving i never thought of something better . so it ' s not contrepoint specifically , but music in general . especially in australia where you have those big roads . in paris we have a lot of traffic jams , but when you can drive in a car and put music loud and you ' re all a by yourself or you can share when you ' re with someone else . in the ` 70s kraftwerk would invite journalists to drive on the autobahn to listen to the autobahn album . i thought it was a great idea , just to discover the record .\ni was on tour and one of the musicians showed me a documentary about glenn gould and i was surprised by the guy\u2014i thought he had the charisma of all the rockstars that we like . the music he was doing has got so much energy in it . when you ' re young you listen to rock music , but when you look at glenn gould playing piano , there ' s so much life in it . as i get more mature in my life i keep on discovering new music without giving up the idea of someone young and charismatic doing something with some energy . i think gould was the best of both worlds\u2014the energy of rock ` n ` roll and the knowledge of the classics ; it was a great discovery for me .\nit was interesting to give the music to people and see what they ' d come up with . for each song i had four or five projects and the one i chose for orca and widerstehe were so close to the idea of each song . i remember when i studied my first bach song i had some coloured pens and i ' d make notes on the score , the video for orca is really visual and it explained the dynamic of the melodies , i was sure i would choose it . then , for widerstehe , the whole video was about temptation . i like the idea that when you ' re a human being , you ' re always attracted to a little danger , that ' s why when you ' re a teenager you smoke cigarettes when obviously it ' s horrible . in the video , surfing among sharks was the perfect example of this .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nleonard bernstein presents 7 - year - old yo - yo ma ' s high - profile debut for president john f . kennedy\nheinrich schiff , dmitri shostakovich cello concerto no . 1 in e - flat major , opus 107\nwe are updating our terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie and internet advertising policy effective may 25 , 2018 !

cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction are shown in figure 2 . the composite end point was reached in 37 . 2 % of the patients , and 28 . 1 % died during follow - up . ppci was associated with significantly lower rates of the composite end point than fibrinolysis . this difference was driven mainly by an absolute 6 . 8 % reduction in clinical reinfarction and , to a lesser degree , by a nonsignificant absolute 3 . 5 % reduction in all - cause mortality .\nthe fibrinolysis group was treated according to the documented optimal standards in 1997 to 2001 . the danami - 2 study had a very low rate of crossover between the 2 groups , and < 50 % of patients in the fibrinolysis arm had pci performed within the first 3 years of follow - up . 6 a recent french registry study found that a strategy with liberal use of early angiography / pci ( 96 % coronary angiography , 84 % pci ) after fibrinolysis yielded 1 - year survival rates that were comparable to rates for ppci . 22 it is thus possible that a strategy of fibrinolysis combined with invasive treatment within 24 hours will be comparable to a strategy of referral for ppci , especially if transport to a hospital with interventional facilities cannot be completed within \u22481 to 2 hours . 16 , 23 however , the french registry data still need confirmation in a randomized design . until such data exist , interhospital transfer for ppci should be the standard treatment , when it can be completed within 120 minutes .\nas mentioned in the introduction , there are many types of energy sources that are widely used for creating the lesions : cryo - energy , radiofrequency , microwaves , laser , and high - frequency ultrasound . in addition , different sets of lesions are used in different cardiac surgery departments , from simple pulmonary veins ablation to extensive biatrial lesion sets . finding the best and most effective combination of energy source and lesion set for each patient is a very hot topic for discussion today . in our study , we decided to choose and define the lesion set ( described in the surgical procedure part of the article ) , as it was the standard frequently used method in participating cardiac surgery centers . the energy source was left to each participating center ; however , it was in almost 97 % cryo - energy , again as it represents the most frequently used method in those centers .\nmusician explains one concept in 5 levels of difficulty ft . jacob collier & herbie hancock | wired\nby anonymizing people , by allowing them to divorce themselves from their physical identity whether a member of a minority group and agreed to \u2013 religious group or something like that \u2013 they have a political affiliation that could get them jailed or killed in that country . if you allow them to divorce themselves through the technology , you ' re providing human rights ahead of the law , that law will eventually recognize and support .\n, browne kf , marco j . a comparison of immediate angioplasty with thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction .\nedward snowden : probably . i just moved a couple of steps up on the list after this discussion .\nunder a different name where they\u2019re trying to find the same self inaudible ids for common criminals .\nunder a different name where they\u2019re trying to find the same cellphone handset ids for common criminals .\nedward snowden : one of the biggest challenges , i think , for a free internet , or an open internet , a safe internet for the users is that we have an ability to divorce ourselves from physical identity .\nthe other ones are inaudible mixed in networks , for example , where we have multiple steps just like tor where they got these mixed inaudible in the bitcoin universe where they tumble the transactions of the bitcoins that go in it to pay for your purchase aren ' t the same bitcoins that go out .\njust like we ' ve got a presumption of innocence in courts , we should have that in the community as well . we do have to be careful . we do have to be suspicious , but we should really evaluate people on the basis of their work as opposed to whispered campaigns and things like that .\nunfortunately , the internet has many ways of providing a very cheap and effective means of interfering with those rights .\nobjective evaluation of the benefits and possibilities of surgical ablation among the unselected cardiac surgery candidates with af is difficult . nevertheless , we consider studies in a prospective randomized fashion to be the source of the most objective data .\nthe primary end point of this long - term follow - up was a composite of death or clinical reinfarction . this primary end - point definition differed from the previously published 30 - day 3 and 3 - year 6 reports in which the composite end point consisted of death , reinfarction , or disabling stroke . the rationale for the different primary end - point definition in the present study was that a clinical diagnosis of disabling stroke ( severe handicap ) could not be extracted from registries and was therefore removed from the present longer - term analysis . secondary end points were all - cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction . as in the prior danami - 2 publications , the end points were subsequently analyzed separately in the referral hospital substudy and in the invasive hospital substudy . furthermore , the primary end point was applied on a number of prespecified subgroups .\nplease complete the form below to request further information or register for one of our trial sessions . our next pyt tots session takes place during the first week of september 2018 . exact details tbc . our next pyt juniors , seniors and advanced trial sessions will take place on saturday 1st september 2018 at the following times and locations : pyt juniors ( ages 6 -

2 ) trial compared onsite fibrinolysis with ppci with the majority of patients randomized at hospitals without ppci facilities and thus transported for ppci . 3 this study , the largest of its kind , demonstrated that ppci was superior to fibrinolysis when transport could be accomplished within 2 hours despite a transfer - related treatment delay of 55 minutes . 3 other minor studies have shown similar results . 4 , 5 we have previously shown a persistence in the superiority of ppci over fibrinolysis at a 3 - year follow - up . 6 the present study tested whether the benefit of ppci could be extended to a median follow - up time of 7 . 8 years ."]}

ran\u2019s display of inexplicable and explosive strength . it is then revealed that girls are being experimented on by the headmistress and her team to become genetically modified super soldiers . teenage girls apparently make for the best test subjects as their bodies are still developing , the film explains . here , the story draws attention to how teenage girls already have little to no control over their developing bodies by nature and as females in general , they will have no end to the lack of agency they have over their bodies .\nbetrayed and on the run , a north korean agent tries to uncover the volatile secrets hidden inside the eyeglasses of a dead man .\nhorror movies were at their peak when \u201cwhispering corridors\u201d ( 1998 ) , bottom left , achieved box office success . but because of repetitive themes and implausible plotlines , films from the genre such as \u201cthe wicked\u201d ( 2013 ) , bottom right , and \u201cblack hand\u201d ( 2015 ) , top right , have failed to draw in audiences . however , \u201cthe silenced , \u201d top left , with a competent cast and an appealing plot , is hoping for a horror revival . it opens nationwide on june 18 . provided by each distributor\nto put it simply , the silenced is like a non - werewolf version of park\u2019s movie a few years ago , the werewolf boy . yep , nothing scary , despite alot of blood here and there in the movie , but ultimately it\u2019s a kinda sci - fi movie , with anti - japanese nationalism sentiments weaved in , and if you would , perhaps also some hints of lesbianism were also thrown in . the overall feel of the first - half of the movie was effectively creepy ( which i skipped parts to watch because yeah , i have no guts like that ) , but the final 20 minutes or so became an outright sci - fi wannabe movie with zombie - like girls , or girls with superhuman strength , fighting against the japanese authorities .\nthe plot , however , is a messy hodgepodge , the result of overreaching on the part of screenwriter and director lee hae - young .\nthe film\u2019s plot twists come in the form of abrupt changes that cause more confusion than excitement and become increasingly unrealistic as the movie progresses .\nthe silenced or it ' s korean title translated gyeongseong high school : the disappearance of the girls made me dive into the story right from the start . the story , i believe took place sometime during the japan colonization in korea . and the mysterious disappearance of the girls happened in this boarding school . joo ran ( park bo young ) as the centre point in this whole story shoulders her own weight . i couldn ' t help but sympathize her for the treatment she received . a mysterious incident took place one by one and it makes me wonder what ' s the deal with this shady boarding school who only has a very few students and was built way too deep into the forest . it ' s easy to lay suspicion as to whom is the one behind the disappearance but the real question is why this has to happened . i ' m just a little bit disappointing near the ends because i was expecting some historical reference to be the reason of the disappearance but surely the story take it ' s own twist . i ' ve watched too many movies , i started developing an expectation on a certain pattern that a movie with this genre should have . not really the ending that i want but it ' s worthwhile for anyone who loves mystery / thriller / crime movies . happy watching . sorry for this kinda crappy review . i haven ' t written in a while .\n\u201cthe horror movie is all about the thrill , \u201d said culture critic ha jae - keun .\nuhm ji - won claimed that she wants the best supporting actress award . the actress was interviewed by news n on the 10th and she claimed she wants the award this year , . . .\ntime really does fly , and actress park bo - young - - whom many filmgoers no doubt still think of as the young girl of her early performances - - has now been acting for 10 years . for park , it has been a decade spent carefully building her career . in her latest film , the mystery - thriller\nthe silenced\n, which was released last week , park plays a girl in poor health who is dragged to a sanitarium - style boarding school by her stepmother in 1938 , with korea still under japanese colonial rule , . . .\nbut that is no longer the case . the genre , which enjoyed much popularity in the early 2000s , is now waning at korean box offices .\nstill wondering , why law exist in our daily life . who hold the power of justice , who seeks the justice , who needs the justice .\nbecause the time is in the middle of the japanese occupation era , the main purpose of the school is educating its girls as model japanese citizens while improving their health . every girl in the school has each own japanese name while japanese is frequently spoken in the classroom , and we also see the girls working on a big white sheet with the figure of the korean peninsula filled with cherry blossoms . the headmaster is about to pick two best students who will be sent to tokyo for their better future , and yeon - deok ( park so - dam ) and yuka ( kong ye - ji ) have been the front runners in the competition .\ndirector hwang dong - hyuk takes the helm for this emotionally charged drama based on a shocking true story of the vulnerable young students at a school for the hearing impaired who were sexually molested by the people they trusted most . over the course of four terrible years , the principal and some key faculty members at the school took advantage of their special - needs students in the worst way imaginable . this is the story of the students who suffered , and difficult quest to bring their abusers to justice .\nthe first local summer blockbuster of 2018 represented over 77 % of the total box office last week .\na year before that \u201cthe conjuring\u201d also swept the north american box office , debuting at first place .\nnot gay enough but just spooky enough for my tastes , although the resolution does leave some plot threads dangling and the finale loses some of the momentum built up by the film ' s deliciously gothic atmosphere .\nkim hye - soo and kim go - eun managed to be successful with\nchina town\nalthough it ' s an adult rated thriller and based on women . it recorded 1 . 3 million audiences until the 13th . it competed well alongside\nthe avengers : age of ultron\n. there ' s going to be more movies with actresses in the lead .\nthe silenced\nis coming this june starring uhm ji - won and park bo - young . this movie is like\nchina town\nin many ways . it revolves around women and uhm ji - won is expected to change just like kim hye - soo did , . . .\nthe only balm in this film is the friendship between ju - ran and yeon - deok ( park so - dam ) . yeon - deok takes ju - ran under her wing immediately after seeing how she is easily bullied by the other girls . she shows her the secret basement , sneaks her out of the school to the river and gives her a diary to replace the one that was confiscated . park bo - young and park so - dam have a genuine chemistry and rapport that helps make their relationship the backbone of the film . the scenes that ju - ran and yeon - duk share by the river are beautifully lensed and lit , a complete opposite to the dreary interiors of the school .\nclearly influenced from notable south korean horror films such as \u201cwhispering corridors\u201d ( 1998 ) and \u201ca tale of two sisters\u201d ( 2003 ) , \u201cthe silenced\u201d tries to do something else within its familiar ground , though its attempts are not always successful . many elements in the story do not make sense well together when you look back at them in the whole picture , and its third act is not very satisfying in my opinion . despite such weak points , the movie is still an interesting horror film depending on atmosphere and character we can hold onto , and i think that is a good news , considering that we have not often come across a solid south korean horror movie during recent years .\ndesire is the theme of the fantastical planck constant , which weaves together a series of stories about a man ( kim jae - wook ) who visits the same hair salon every day in order to see the assistant about whom he fantasises . cho sung - kyu\u2019s credits include the winter of the year was warm and santa barbara .\nadded the upcoming korean movie\ngirl on the edge\n' s page to hancinema database , . . .\nchoi dong - hoon\u2019s much - anticipated follow - up to the thieves is an action drama set during the japanese occupation of korea in the 1930s . assassination follows a band of korean resistance fighters who escape from prison in shanghai on a covert mission to kill a japanese army commander . in post - production , the film stars gianna jun , aka jun ji - hyun ( the berlin file , the thieves ) , lee jung - jae ( the face reader , the thieves ) , ha jung - woo ( the terror , live , the berlin file ) , oh dal - soo ( the attorney , the thieves ) and cho jin - woong ( roaring currents , a hard day ) .\nthe woman that played min - soo ' s grandmother is the actual grandmother of movie director hwang dong - hyuk .\nthe director lee hye - yeong , who previously directed a delightful coming - of - age / transgender comedy drama \u201clike a virgin\u201d ( 2006 ) , steadily builds tension on the screen along with considerable attention to visuals . the color scheme in the film is often accentuated by the appearance of red color , and the drab interior environment of the school makes a striking visual contrast with the headmaster\u2019s sumptuous office which looks like a production designer\u2019s wet dream . the relationship development between joo - ran and yeon - deok is convincingly depicted with tender sensitivity , and it eventually becomes the emotional anchor to hold for us even when the story takes an unexpected turn later .\nsouth korean film \u201cthe silenced\u201d , which was released in south korea as \u201cgyeongseong school : the lost girls\u201d in last weekend , looks like a typical genre piece at first . its main background is a girl\u2019s dormitory school , its story revolves around a sick , beautiful girl who has to adjust herself to this strict , isolated environment , and , not so surprisingly , there is a sinister mystery hovering around every dark corner of this seemingly ordinary place . these are indeed familiar stuffs reminiscent of many other similar horror films , but the movie establishes mood and suspense well in its stylish period setting , and it also has some surprises for you although it stumbles a bit during its third act .\ni just now only watched the trailer , and i got chills down my back . it looks very intense . i ' ll definitely watch the movie when i have the time !\nget all the exclusives , reviews , features and screening times from the hong kong international film tv market ( filmart ) .\none nation senator pauline hanson takes off the burqa . the stunt would likely not have been allowed under old senate rules .\ngo won -

won ) office is perversely baroque , while the rest of the school is worn out and fittingly gothic . there\u2019s even a hidden secret basement overgrown with red flowers that looks like something out of the secret garden crossed with a del toro film . the dimly lit corners in every corridor threatens to swallow its students and is used to great effect in the spookier scenes .\ni ' m really happy that gong yoo took the initiative to ask a writer to make a script out of the novel . the school finally shut down because the film has awakened many people . huge respect to him for using his influence to help people .\nperhaps you\u2019ve heard the name before , or by the previous alias style ( or tony tone not to be confused with any of the other people to go by that name ) .

supernatural displays of strength , disappearing girls , and many death . the idea behind it seemed quite good but unfortunately it was not a great film . the first half hour seemed interesting enough , however after that it all got too samey . there were millions of flashbacks which got pretty tiring , but the most overused scene was the main character staring at blood on her hands . honestly , i lost count of the times she just stood there staring at her bloody hands after she beat people up or whatever . it ' s as if they didn ' t know how to lead on to the next thing so they were just like ,\nlet ' s add another hands with blood scene in here !\nit was so ridiculous and random , but boring for the watcher . this was just something that irked me as it seemed pretty lazy . my next point - the characters . shoddy writing to say the least . none of the characters get a proper background or even a glance into what their motives are . each character is there to serve their purpose to the plot , but the watcher can really feel that and so it is hard to care about any of the characters . the main character is rather bland and boring with not much personality , just looking shocked or scared the whole time . another thing i considered to be lazy was the ending . they probably thought they were tying all the ends up nicely , but it was so predictable , also the fact that the headmistress keeps ' treating ' the girls when all of her attempts get botched up and people literally die , she keeps going . how desperate is she to find the right ' treatment ' ? and what do they tell the parents of the kid who dies ? because it is a school for sick children they probably try to pass it off as them dying of illness , but if this were the case wouldn ' t the parents want the children ' s body back ? i ' m sure they wouldn ' t just be cool with letting the school keep their child ' s corpse and complaints must have been made , but hey , it ' s just another technicality that the movie skims over . overall , the silenced is rather lazily written , rushing to get to the anticlimactic end scene . maybe if you have nothing else to do give it a watch but don ' t set your hopes too high .\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 .\na comedy romance movie about the last generation of youths and their passionate romance based in hongseong , chungcheong namdo in the 1980 ' s .\nthe 52nd daejong awards is here . rookies from chungmuro anticipate the award that they might get for once and only once in their lives . looking at the candidates of this year ' s rookies , there ' s lee min -

human power , but might cause some adverse event such as seizure ? death ? well , they only show the first subject as suddenly having a seizure and then she was taken away by the school . if that was not clich\u00e9 enough , at the end of the movie , the heroin used her super power to annihilate the school . the rest of the girls was being sedated with their gas drugs and they suddenly awaken and kill the principal in the most gruesome way .\nas soon as i know park bo young acted in this movie , i downloaded it and with the reviews i read i wasn ' t expecting a horror movie or sth like that . the movie itself started with a slow rhythm and the first half of it was quite interesting but the second half . . . it was just so much fast ! i think that it dint allow watchers to relate themselves with the movie and to understand the mysterious happenings in school . . . . unlike other reviews i read , the main character\npark bo young\ndone her job ! i mean what do we expect from a girl who her mom dies recently and her dad and his new wife take her to an unknowing school in the deep forest . . . . of course she should be scared and most of the time quite ! however i liked her acting . . . . but i think the main weakness of the movie is the script ! sorry but it seems to me that the writer wrote it in just a weak . . . the backgrounds of the characters are all unproven for the watcher . . . and that ' s the main reason which i cant relate myself much with the movie is the poor script . . . if you are bored and need a movie to fill your boring afternoon it is a good choice !\na documentary on the rise and stumble of troy duffy , the bartender - cum - filmmaker who was swept up by miramax ' s harvey weinstein to turn his script for the boondock saints into a feature film .\nduring the argument between the japanese officer and the headmistress , the officer ' s haircut is very casual by japanese military standards of that era . it looks more like a contemporary style . it ' s doubtful that a japanese officer , or enlisted soldier , would have been allowed to wear his hair in such a way , as the style would more likely have been either closely cropped or very closely trimmed along the edges .\nthere shouldn ' t be anything complicated about that premise , yet we are still forced to listen as homophobic people claim the mantle of victimhood because they don ' t like the fact that their homophobia has been identified and named . the lyle sheltons of this world have no problem sharing their view that homosexual people pose a threat to the foundation of the nuclear family , but seem affronted when the people they attack respond in kind .\nonce you do figure out what ' s happening this movie is great . the acting was good and the satisfying yet heartbreaking ending was amazing .\na brief synopsis to the movie : set in 1938 , park bo young takes on the role of joo - ran , a young girl who gets transferred to a secluded all - girls boarding school , in the name of recuperating from ill - health . the school\u2019s head - mistress ( uhm ji won ) is a daggers - in - the - smiles kind of lady , who seems to be involved in the missing girls in her school . it doesn\u2019t help that the trailer was edited in such a way that the whole school is like a bubbling hotpot of nefarious activities .\nthe fidelity of the props to the setting of japanese empire in korea during the late 1930 ' s is actually quite impressive . however , one detail kept cropping up over and over , and that is the intravenous ( iv ) equipment . what i see are spiked drip chambers using clear plastic and topped by white plastic spikes . plus , the fluid runs through clear iv tubing regulated by white plastic roller - type flow regulators . these did not exist in the ' 30 ' s . the standards of the time utilized rubber\nsurgical\ntubing , metal thumb clamps , and rate controlled by eyeballing fluid volume administered over a given time , such as 4 ounces per hour . this would be read off of a scale printed or cast molded onto the side of the bottle . see more \u00bb\nthere was a time when watching a horror movie during summer was considered by koreans an effective way to escape from the sizzling weather . posters for scary films hung up at cinemas signaled the arrival of the summer season .\nin 1938 , a girl , joo -

backed janjaweed militia are devastating villages . there are of course differences . while both populations are ethnically african , the people of the south are predominantly christian and animist while the people of darfur are mainly muslim . but the similarities are strong and again there is a whole generation of children enduring unimaginable horrors and losing their families and their childhoods to war .\npeter and santino are in their early 20\u2019s . many of the \u201clost boys\u201d genuinely don\u2019t know their ages for a series of reasons . first an individual birth date is not given the same importance in their culture as it is in the u . s . additionally , birth records were not kept in most of the villages where the boys were born . since many of the youth lost their parents when they were very young , they didn\u2019t have anyone to keep track of their birthdate . when the group arrived at the un refugee camps , they were assigned ages , the aid workers made their best guess at the youth\u2019s ages and assigned them all the birthdate of january 1st , with whatever corresponding year seemed appropriate .\nkuol awan fled sudan in 1987 and resettled from kenya ' s kakuma refugee camp in 2001 to salt lake city , utah .\na beautiful movie , taken out of the pages of recent events . the inspiring and true story of the\nthe lost boys\ntrekking hundreds of miles across africa to save their lives . the photography of the african scenes is great . a story of dedication , loyalty and the deepest meaning of family and friendship . it is well acted , engaging , and funny as well as surprising . while dancing at the edge of some clich\u00e9s , it manages to stay fresh . the ending really took me by surprise . sadly the movie is still very relevant . there is a continuing genocide in sudan and part of the intent of the movie is to raise awareness about what is happening right now , it is succeeds in doing that , it will have done what few movies do : it might save lives .\nby leading journalists and scholars working in fields related to issues that arise in the documentary . these essays provide valuable background material on the civil war in sudan , the current crisis in sudan\u2019s darfur region , information on refugees and refugee resettlement in the united states , and much more .\nninety -

pop fans will hear references to their favourite groups throughout the film , u - kiss being a prime example of untoward journalism in the build up of the story . it\u2019s a simple story with a fundamental moral message that ra -

ordinates has finally met his match .\nfrom this trailer , you would expect that this movie is going to be a wacky comedy . \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) is definitely not that ! i would even be hesitant to label it as a \u201cdramady\u201d because the movie is not even that humorous for most of its screen time . so , going into the movie , it was somewhat jarring to adjust my preconceptions about the movie initially . i would say it took about 10 minutes to fully adjust to what the movie was . the fact that the first section of the movie is rather rough and abrasive didn\u2019t help .\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\nthe third act is where the story turns into more of your standard scoop based reporter thriller where the heroine waves the now very familiar \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d flag in front of helpless odds because of \u201cjournalism . \u201d you have seen these movies . the point to this type of story is to make journalism is still relevant by making the reporter the hero or in this movie\u2019s case the heroine of the story . it is relevance by proxy ! but does \u201cyou call it passion\u201d work in this vein . . ?\napparently , do would not have blown the scandal wide open if it were not for her\npassion\nto dissect the articles and dig into what could possibly be chief jang ' s setup to send woo to jail . although do scoffed at ha in the beginning of the movie for barking at her\nnothing is impossible with passion ,\nit turns out what ultimately saved do ' s journalistic career was her passion .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nquite a surprise hit . you don ' t expect the depth of drama and character development from a comedy like this . it ' s not particularly deep but it ' s there , y ' know ? there ' s way more dramatic moments than comedy in this to classify as comedy anyway . not to say it ' s not funny , it definitely has its moments . it maybe gets a bit too dramatic towards the end but overall an enjoyable movie .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\nthe most accurate description of \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) i could give is that it is somewhat of a \u201cwork place slice of life\u201d story . korean dramas such \u201cmisaeng\u201d ( 2015 ) may give you some indication of what kind of story this movie is trying to tell . both have young newcomers as protagonists come into a new working environment and struggle to find a place . both populate these work places with varied characters also trying to do their best at their jobs . the emphasis on the \u201cjob\u201d is at the core of the story in both the movie and the drama .\nunlike \u201cup close and personal\u201d ( 1996 ) where the two leads become a couple in addition to becoming mentor and mentee , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) doesn\u2019t have a vast age difference couple . and i\u2019m somewhat conflicted on this . on one hand , it would be creepy . on the other , it would be something more concrete about their relationship . the movie does not really show the two people interacting and bonding enough to justify the development of the heroine as a journalist later in the movie and why he would support her crazy rouge activities .\nthis week we\u2019re watching you call it passion adapted from novel \u201cyeoljung gateun sori hago itne\u201d by lee hye -

young /\nin the second act , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) becomes more of a focused \u201cslice of life\u201d type of story . saying focused to describe a \u201cslice of life\u201d is a bit weird i know . our heroine has somewhat acclimated to her surroundings at this point and we get to see the other characters and how they are coping with the changing landscape of the news game . while our heroine is still the entry point for the audience into the story , the story is not all about her .\n\u201cwhat you call passion is not a spiritual force , but friction between the soul and the outside world . where passion dominates , that does not signify the presence of greater desire and ambition , but rather the misdirection of these qualities toward and isolated and false goal , with a consequent tension and sultriness in the atmosphere . those who direct the maximum force of their desires toward the center , toward true being , toward perfection , seem quieter than the passionate souls because the flame of their fervor cannot always be seen . in argument , for example , they will not shout or wave their arms . but , i assure you , they are nevertheless , burning with subdued fires . \u201d\n\u201d ( 2015 ) far better if it focused on being one thing rather than trying to tell 3 different types of stories . it could have been a funny work place comedy . it could have been an insightful slice of life drama . it could have been a focused message movie . combining all of these is really difficult and the movie wasn\u2019t successful at this attempt .\nplease use these links when you sign up for a class or buy something from # yesasia . i get a small referral fee .\nin most \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d stories , it would be the serious news departments that are under the axe . this is no different in korea although the serious news here is also so gossipy and politically salacious that sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference . it feels like the creators changed the setting of a \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d story to the entertainment news department in order the increase the gimmick factor without considering the implications to the story . however , if you are familiar with korean dramas , you will know that korean story telling runs on gimmicks as its core tends to be hollow .\n\u201c ( 2014 ) starring park hae - il is also one of those movies which prove people are just sheep doing whatever the media tells them to do . as this movie comes to mind , i would have to say that there is one major thing to differentiate the two movies . \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) is not a left wing skewed movie at all which is odd since most mainstream korean movies are . this is more so for journalism movies . yes , the evil business woman is the villain but i do not think that the movie put more thought into this than basically following genre clich\u00e9s . it is sad that this fact actually makes this movie somewhat refreshing .\nra - hee ( played by park bo - young ) is a rookie reporter in the entertainment press . jae - gwan ( played by jung jae - young ) is her exceptionally tough editor , constantly barking orders at ra - hee to make sure she gets the job done right . together , they do important investigative journalism . . . about celebrities . yes , the stakes in\nyou call it passion\nare relatively low , and the eventual movement of the plot toward an expos\u00e9 about a false accusation doesn ' t really do much to up the ante , . . .\nin terms of the third act , it is sad to say that it is the most complete and least interesting part of this movie . it is your clich\u00e9 anti - business plot line with the business man or in this case woman being the villain that is not only oppressing the poor \u201cfamous and wet blanket\u201d idol guy but also challenges the integrity of journalism .\nsummoned by an unexpected phone call , an elderly woman visits the country cottage she lived in as a child . memories of an orphan boy she knew 47 years ago come flooding back to her .\na list of all the films i have seen from south korea . with such an amount of films it doesn ' t\u2026\nas an actress , park bo - young is an interesting case . first , she looks like a high schooler at best even though she is 25 years old . second , she can do cute and lovable . third she has decent comedic timing . however , in her recent career , she is trying to be somewhat edgy or raunchy more in the tone of what jun ji - hyun does . her performances in \u201ccollective invention\u201d ( 2015 ) , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) , and even the \u201coh my ghost\u201d ( tvn / 2015 ) are examples . this creates a weird portrayal of her characters by combining adorable sweetness with more edge . it is something similar to what melissa rauch of \u201cthe big bang theory\u201d ( 2007 - ) or alyson hannigan of \u201chow i met your mother\u201d ( 2005 - 2014 ) do .\nformerly known as\nthe cry of passion\non hancinema synopsis a movie based on the original novel by lee hye - rin about a sports reporter who struggles to survive in the war of entertainment news . source\nafter all , the lighting in the movie is so saturated with light like it was set in either a beauty parlor or an apple store .\nso , having this character be the \u201ci\u2019m resolute in my convictions regarding journalism\u201d heroine is just off putting as she has only been in the job like a month at most . this is one of those movies in which the progression of time is difficult to measure as it is compressed and tries to hide it .\nbefore i conclude this long review , i would have to say the person who lit this movie should be fired . it is lit too brightly ! this hurts the\noverall , the movie was not unwatchable especially during its middle parts . i have no need to watch it again though . so , i think b - grade .\nra - hee is ready for the real world . she has graduated from a respectable college and begins to apply for full - time jobs but is rejected by every company that she applies to . when all hope is lost , she gets a phone call from a newspaper company and is recruited as an intern in the entertainment section . although reluctant at first , as she believes herself to be over - qualified for the job , she soon learns and understands the passion of the press . during her rollercoaster experi . . .\ni could not say that they are not paparazzi . even in the less sleazy moments , there are no real qualms exploiting celebrities , shaping the news to promote specific celebrities , and other personal or financial agendas . it is just part of the job . they aren\u2019t even bothered by blatant plagiarizing other people\u2019s works . it is what the industry does .\nso , once it is time to act all pretentiously and self - righteously , those aspects get hidden under that bed but we can still see them poking out a bit .\nit is just a joke with low stakes like what the entertainment news is to journalism . if the so called victim was more of a sympathetic character , it would have worked better but alas he is nothing more than a cameo played by a very bland and poor actor . this just makes the triumphant ending of this movie rather ridiculous and overblown .\nwith the ever - high unemployment rate , some korean companies have made headlines hiring young adults who are willing to work without pay . the companies then reward them with\npassion pay\n- - nothing close to severance pay or similar , but literally nothing - - and take those passionate , willing employees for granted while criticizing other job seekers for not being passionate enough . it has aroused the ire of many young adults who thought the judgment was unfair .\nthe most important relationship in the movie is between our heroine and her mad dog of a boss . while it starts out as an \u201candrea sachs and miranda priestly\u201d of \u201cthe devil wears prada\u201d ( 2006 ) relationship , the relationship becomes less arm\u2019s length as her boss becomes more dependent on the heroine . it ends up being somewhat of a mentor / mentee relationship . it reminded me of another \u201cjournalism is great\u201d movie called \u201cup close and personal\u201d ( 1996 ) starring robert redford and michelle pfeiffer . if anyone actually remembers that movie , they would have a question looming over their minds .\nra -

rin , the story takes a close look at the media world and the harsh conditions of korean office jobs . given the title , which translates to \u2018passion , as if\u2019 , it is easy to see that the story deals with contemporary issues relating to working conditions , such as the high unemployment rate , employees being stripped of their rights , and the question that still nags at many of us ; are we doing what we\u2019re passionate about ?\nnewspapers are still relevant ! this is a main message of the movie . however , the manner in which the case was solved essentially proves the opposite as it totally cuts out print newspapers from the solution . newspapers are no longer relevant !\ndo bong -

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

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

based wealthy man , jwala sahay ( abhi bhattacharya ) . in the ensuing gun battle between the police and the brigands , sahay\u2019s wife gets killed , leaving her small daughter and plenty of jewellery in the hands of govindram , a henchman of hiralal . balraj sahni who essayed hiralal\u2019s role shines changing his personality several times in the approximately two hour - long film . he is a different man as a bandit , then as a caring and toiling father of a girl and finally the village patriarch in search for a suitable groom for his daughter .\nswayed by the plea in the eyes of sahay\u2019s wife , govindram escapes with the toddler ( rajini ) and settles in kulu - manali rearing her as his own daughter without ever disclosing her of the past .\nthe twist in the film takes place when rajini\u2019s wedding is finalised with shankar ( rakesh roshan ) , son of a landowner hiralal , who escapes from the prison threatening to spill the beans on rajini and wanting the hidden booty . in the ensuing melee , govindram is murdered , leading a devastated rajini to believe that hiralal is her long lost uncle . finally , truth dawns , leading to a d\u00e9nouement in which rajini comes face to face with her biological father , sahay . after hiralal is killed , she requests her father to keep the govindram\u2019s past a secret to which he readily agrees .\nthere is only one jarring note in the film . twice , hema malini is shown swimming which was totally unnecessary as these scenes neither add any depth to the story nor do they take it any forward . and if they were for titillation , then they were way behind raj kapoor\u2019s proclivity for skin display .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nthe version of this work detailed above is rated by the bbfc under the video recordings act 1984 for use on any packaged media format ( including dvd , blu -

of - age story based on the novel , rapture in my rags , by the english author phyllis hastings , its location being transposed for the film to the coast of brittany although the dialogue is in english .\nwe\u2019d love your help . let us know what\u2019s wrong with this preview of rapture by phyllis hastings .\npauline kael , \u201cthe come -

175 .\nafter falling hard for the 1965 film version of rapture , i decided to seek out the book that inspired it . because i had a feeling the book would be a bit of a pulp romance and perhaps not terribly well written , and because the film means so much to me , i decided to wait to read it until i ' d seen the film several times - - until my experience and understanding of the film couldn ' t be changed by reading the book . i ' m glad i made that decision . as i ' d suspected , the book is a bit of a pulp romance , and\n2004 saw the birth of the new masters of cinema series , a specially curated dvd and blu - ray collection of classic and world cinema . since then they\u2019ve released hundreds of dvds and blu - rays of some of the world\u2019s finest movies , many of which we at louder than war have reviewed . today we bring you our review of john guillermin\u2019s classic 1965 french / american film rapture .\nthe film was the 11th most popular movie at the british box office in 1962 .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nthe only thing that i didn ' t like about this film was the fact that this was patricia gozzi ' s second & last film . what a tragic waste of such talent !\ngorgeous 1080p presentation of the film in its original 2 . 35 : 1 ' scope aspect ratio\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 .\n( 1965 ) is one of the most sadly neglected studio movies of the 1960s , which is perhaps down to its peculiar plot and its inability to be pigeon holed in any particular genre . atmospheric , haunting and given a strikingly beautiful aesthetic by cinematographer marcel grignon , rapture tells the unusual story of 15 year old teenager , agnes , played with wondrous perfection by patricia gozzi .\nis a complex gem of a film . every piece of the film works masterfully , and yet it had mostly fallen off the face of the earth until twilight time licensed it for release on blu - ray . there are a number of reasons that the film might have disappeared . it luxuriates in tricky morality . the main characters each ensconce themselves in unhealthy relationships , whether is is father - daughter , lovers , or otherwise . it seems to me that the film was simply so far ahead of its time that it had no place in 1965 , but thank goodness it has reappeared and is ripe for critical rediscovery .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ntwilight time ' s blu - ray doesn ' t boast any extras which is a bit frustrating because , if ever a film called out for a commentary track by film scholars , this is it . the movie ' s outstanding b & w cinematography looks great and georges delerue ' s marvelous score is a joy to listen to . julie kirgo ' s excellent liner notes explain that patricia gozzi sacrificed a promising film career by going into self - imposed retirement at an early age . a pity because her work in this film was oscar - worthy and she could have had a brilliant career . rapture is a remarkable film on many levels . put it on your\nmust see\nlist .\nshe ended the message writing :\nsadly but proudly , i am mary guillermin , widow of a wonderful man - sensitive and passionate , full of a fierce rapture himself .\nthose who did manage to see rapture over the years have generally remained passionate about it and no wonder , there\u2019s much to recommend the film from the creative camerawork to the score by georges delerue . undoubtedly , though , the best thing about it is the spellbinding performance of patricia gozzi , who had attracted attention after her performance on sundays and cybele , which won the oscar for best foreign language film in 1962 .\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 .\nabout time that became available . an excellent film with great acting . a first class service from the seller . well recommended .\nif you know the director john guillermin through his work on movies like the towering inferno and shaft in africa , then you\u2019re in for a surprise here . rapture is unlike anything he directed before or since , an art house fairy tale that owes a debt to both the french new wave and to the frequently bleak cinema of ingmar bergman . it\u2019s also the director\u2019s personal favourite of his numerous films and it\u2019s astonishing to think that after being shown at some film festivals in the mid 1960s and gaining some very limited screen time thereafter that rapture inexplicably fell into a long obscurity .\nwrote ,\nthis film is hard to swallow , but the nonstop action helps cover up the gaping holes in the plot .\n. . . masterpiece which i saw the night after seeing another wonderful film , sundays and cybele ( for which i have . . .\nafter rapture , patricia gozzi would make only one more film for the big screen , la grabuge ( hung up ) , which also sadly fell into obscurity . her decision to step out of the spotlight of acting to raise children was a big loss to cinema as she displays here the potential to go on and become one of the most compelling actors of her generation .\npsychologically disturbing and morally troubling \u2013 especially when agnes is shown to clearly desire a relationship with a man who is almost twice her age , rapture is a remarkable rediscovery with notable performances all round \u2013 douglas and stockwell are superb here too \u2013 and guillermin\u2019s direction is always totally assured as is the crisp black and white cinematography of marcel grignon , who shot the film in cinemascope .\nshifting of tectonic plates dooms japan : japan sinks ( 2006 , jp . ) ( aka nihon chinbotsu ) - a remake of the 1973 film\nuntil only a few days ago i hadn\u2019t even heard of rapture , or la fleur de l\u2019\u00e2ge , to give it its french title , but at a time of the cinematic calendar when a succession of \u2018unmissable\u2019 blockbusters traditionally send the hollywood publicity machine into overdrive , this can be a refreshing way to see a film : no overblown hype , no preconceived ideas and no real expectations .\nwhile the three adult leads all give very fine performances , the real star of the show is young patricia gozzi , who gives a remarkably nuanced performance as the rag tag young girl who wants so desperately to be loved . joseph plays the women against each other and beds both . he seems to develop a genuine affection for agnes and tries to convince her that her alleged mental problems are easily curable - if she will just get away from her dominating father , who continues to degrade and belittle her . the ill - fated love affair between convict and teen is handled with remarkable candor for 1965 , complete with bedroom scenes that leave little doubt that joseph is engaging in sex with an underage girl . the fact that fox backed this film speaks well for the studio , because rapture is the kind of film that major studios rarely went near .\nvideo : 1080p high definition / 2 . 35 : 1 . audio : english / mono . special features : isolated score track . rt : 104 minutes . 1965 / b & w . not rated . region free . limited edition of 3 , 000 units . exclusive distribution for twilight time provided by screen archives entertainment .\nrapture is presented for the first time on home video in the uk in a new high - definition restoration , released in a stunning blu - ray presentation as part of a dual format ( blu - ray & dvd ) edition on 28 july 2014 .\nit was recommended quite awhile before i finally had the chance to see guillermin\u2019s spellbinding 1965 feature that i go in knowing as little as possible , and i will , accordingly , do as little as possible to discuss the plot of the film here . the film doesn\u2019t have any \u201ctwists\u201d per se , and it doesn\u2019t really do much of anything that isn\u2019t perfectly in accordance with the type of film it establishes itself to be rather quickly . and yet there is a distinct pleasure to watch this psychologically warped fairy tale develop . there\u2019s nothing overtly fantastic at play , and yet it feels otherworldly , teetering on the edge of mania without unraveling its tightly - wound core . the opening , pre - title sequence alone is uncommonly unexpected , jarring , and commanding , a quartet of repressed personalities on the verge of explosion .\nextras : a highly informative commentary with film historians nick redmon and julie kirgo , a booklet featuring an essay by critic mike sutton ; vintage stills and more .\nan international co - production made on location along the brittany coastline , rapture is one of the most remarkable coming - of - age films ever made , and with its vivid atmosphere and emotional acuity is one of the most striking and neglected studio projects of the 1960s .\ni can not overstate how great a film this is . tremendously inspired , moving and blindingly powerful so much as to expend memories of other films which are . . .\nit also went on to win three oscars , a bafta and two golden globes . in 1980 he also won the evening standard british film award for death on the nile .\nmichelangelo antonioni , \u201cmy film , \u201d l\u2019humanite february 26 , 1961 , trans . nicholas elliott , archived on the criterion collection website , november 4 , 2013 , < urltoken > .\na message posted on twilight time ' s facebook page read :\ni had got to know him a bit in recent years when we released his lost gem rapture on blu - ray . he was , even in his 80s , an irrepressible life - force , funny , cantankerous , profane , sophisticated , urbane .\nthe lead actress , patricia gozzi , plays an ephemeral woman - child searching for her place and discovering her sexuality a little bit younger than 1965 audiences may have been ready for . the girl , agnes laubard , begins the film as a fifteen year old girl whose obsessions are those of a much younger child . she plays with dolls as though they are her only friends , since she is isolated from other children her own age . her father believes her to be mentally deficient , but what she lacks is not the capacity to understand , but the capacity to relate , and she lacks someone to whom she can relate .\ni saw this at a showing in amsterdam last night . it ' s the kind of great film they will never show on tv these days . a masterpiece in every respect - . . .\ndisaster films : disasters have been the subject of film - goers ' fascination since the time of silent film epics , and this interest continues to exist up to the present time . catastrophes can take so many different forms - but they are mostly man - made or natural . they can be either impending or ongoing , or set in a distant future , or they can exist locally or globally .\nthis is a great film . for some reason this movie really struck a cord with me when i first caught in on tv back when i was a teenager . the lighting , the french location , the novelty [ to me ] of the film style . . . i must have watched it a hundred times . even though i haven ' t seen it in a few years , i still remember how agnes is so overwhelmed by everything in her life and seems to like to hide her in childlike world . and dean stockwell is actually pretty cute ; i was surprised to find out this the same dean stockwell that was later on quantum leap . my mother told me that he was quite the heartthrob in the sixties , and one can see why in this film . i also read the book by phyllis hasting , and it is a whole lot darker in tone than the film . i think it also explores the father - daughter relationship in more detail than the film . this and some of her other books seem very anti - male .\na dark comedy about a murder and its consequences presented in a backwards manner , where death is actually a rebirth . the film starts with an\nexecution\nof the main protagonist and goes . . . see full summary \u00bb\nwith a supporting cast including gunnel lindblom , sylvia kay ( wake in fright , bbc tv\u2019s just good friends ) , and peter sallis ( last of the summer wine ) , stunningly expressive black & white cinemascope visuals and an exquisite score by georges delerue , rapture is an astonishing rediscovery , presented for the first time on home video in the uk in a new high - definition restoration .\non limited edition blu - ray is a winner . the film deserves far more praise than it has received , and i believe the time for its rediscovery is now . this is a definite recommendation from me . well worth the price .\nas in most of his films , antonioni\u2019s wealthy protagonists in la notte live in a hell of their own making . so thoroughly alienated are they from one another ( and from the environment ) that they experience the rain from the sky ( in the pool sequence ) as a sublime rapture from above , giggling like schoolchildren , briefly lifted out of their stupor for a moment\u2019s play with the actual elements .\njohn is here at home till his burial this coming friday . those people who admired his work , but may not have known him or me personally , are welcome to come to our home in topanga to bid farewell to a talented director who produced a large body of films stretching over 40 years . his talent shone through most fiercely in rapture re - released in 2011 by twilight time .\ni absolutely adored this film , this strange little creation , an anomaly in the careers of nearly everyone involved , left to the side of film history by some strange combination of circumstance and its difficulty in categorizing . its influences are myriad , intertwined and yet just distinct enough to result in a film that doesn\u2019t quite fit anywhere , but which is so urgently and passionately told , and now so readily available , that ignoring it any longer is simply impossible . it commanded my attention from its earliest moments , and has lingered defiantly in my mind over the past week , burrowing deeper , revealing its complexity bit by bit . i look forward to it continuing to do so . this gorgeous blu - ray comes with my highest recommendation . revel in it .\nextras are sparse on the disc , as dictated by twilight time ' s licensing agreements , but the major extra is worthwhile . the essay by julie kirgo once again delivers credible and valuable insight into the film and helps to contextualize its appearance and subsequent disappearance from view . it also discusses the sexual politics of the film as well as the fate of patricia gozzi , a talent who chose to leave the screen too soon . i look forward to her essays as much as the films themselves at this point . well done .\nworld ravaged by biological warfare and nocturnal mutants : the omega man ( 1971 ) - earlier film was the last man on earth ( 1964 , it . / us ) ( l ' ultimo uomo della terra ) , then remade as i am legend ( 2007 )\nis a film full of characters making poor decisions . typically these kind of stories can be written off because they lead the audience to distance themselves from the characters . there is little relatability in characters with whom you constantly disagree , however , agnes ' love for joseph is so profound and earnest , it is hard not to identify with her on some level as a romantic . joseph repels agnes ' advances for a long time , but eventually succumbs , and the film ' s morality gets even cloudier when they run away to paris to live as man and wife .\ngwendolyn audrey foster is willa cather professor of english and film studies at the university of nebraska , lincoln . she is co - editor of the new book series quick takes : movies and popular culture from rutgers university press , and the author of many books , articles , and experimental videos .\nconventional plot summaries of the film routinely insist that la notte centres around a male author , giovanni pontano ( marcello mastroianni ) , his uncertain career , and his failing relationship with his wife , lidia ( jeanne moreau ) , as well as his flirtations with beautiful socialite valentina gherardini ( monica vitti ) .\na masterpiece which i saw the night after seeing another wonderful film , sundays and cybele ( for which i have also written an amazon review ) . the films both star the wonderful patricia gozzi , an outstanding child actress who made very few films . the range of emotions this girl could communicate is extraordinary . as for what the film is about , like any great work of art it depends on your interpretation and your own view of the world and how you react , a bit like the old clich\u00e9 of the portrait ' s eyes following you round the room . there is a lot to chew over , and i do recommend you watch the commentary on the disc , well worth it . my only quibble is it is set in france , and yet the actors apart from patricia gozzi are all foreigners , mostly anglo - saxons . so the film is made in english , but all the gendarmes and other secondary actors speak with funny froggy accents . obviously to get ignorant american and british bums on cinema seats where they wouldn ' t have to cope with sub - titles . what a pity . the plot derives from a book set in england which was liberally hacked around anyway to orient the film in france . they could have hacked it a bit more and done it in both french and english if necessary , so that the family spoke english at home with the just the occasional scene with real french actors when the outside world obtruded . but despite this do watch this film . i would say that few more beautiful movies have ever been made .\n( 1961 ) . rapture brings the melodrama in abundance but the beguiling performances and stunning visuals make it impossible to tear your eyes away . gozzi puts in a powerful performance in the difficult role of agnes . whilst we never get a clear understanding of her developmental skills as inexplicable as they may be , a lot is pointed towards isolation and social or perhaps anti - social conditioning ? highly emotive , gozzi\u2019s nuanced and energetic performance is unlike anything you\u2019ve ever seen , which makes one wonder why this treasure has remained buried for so long .\nthe disc has one major special feature , a commentary track by nick redmon and julie kirgo . redmon and kirgo run twilight time , which released the film on blu - ray in the united states , and are more or less the ones responsible for whatever reputation it may gain from here ( even if they admit that they only looked into the film at guillermin\u2019s personal urging , and had never seen it before ) . that said , this is not a very well - prepared track , often falling into just narrating the events onscreen . there is not a lot that\u2019s been written about the film , though , so for those who fall for it as much as i did , it\u2019s still a very valuable listen to gather what little is known , just go with the flow during their rather tepid analysis . eureka also includes a booklet with an essay by mike sutton , which goes over some of the same information as the commentary , focusing much more on production than analysis .\nin reviewing the critical reception of la notte ( 1961 ) , it strikes me that many observers seem to almost completely miss the fact that the film is , in part , a feminist critique of capitalist society , which centres around women , consumption , and the failure of our ecosystem , and not just the director\u2019s trademark alienation and ennui .\ni know not everyone will share this experience , but for me discovering this movie was like coming out of a fog and into the light , more alive than before . george delerue ' s score is gorgeous , as is the setting , as are the performances . the film haunts me - - in the best possible way . highly recommended .\nmodernist in its approach , director john guillermin , occasionally heightens events by filming them from the frenzied and heightened perspective of the teenage protagonist before bringing us back to the disbelief of her fellow characters . the film is romantic in its approach to imagery , making you fall deeply in love with contours of brittany\u2019s coastlines via sumptuous and ambitious crane shots but guillermin wants his audience to know who this film belongs to as he frames the whole shebang with a bout of crazed panic on london\u2019s city streets as the teenager finally gets a glimpse of the world beyond the farm gates . love interest dean stockwell oozes charisma as the scarecrow come - to - life , bringing matinee idol looks and compassion to an otherwise awkwardly complex and predatory character .\nfrom the unsettling opening scene where agnes\u2019 older sister genevieve begins crying on her way to church to wed armand ( peter sallis , later to become the voice of gromit ) the film is never one where viewers are able to anticipate what will happen next with any degree of certainty albeit i\u2019m sure few at any point would imagine a happy - ever - after ending .\nhere she is even better as agnes , an unstable , adolescent girl ( gozzi was fifteen during the shoot ) who is still very much a child as the film opens : she walks around barefoot , talks to her dolls as if they are real and becomes strangely obsessed about building a scarecrow , which she also later talks to as if it is a living thing .\ni would argue , rather , that women are both the centre of the film and the mirrors upon which antonioni reflects his dark perceptions and stark conclusions about the human condition . at a launch party for his latest novel , those who celebrate giovanni\u2019s newest book spend precious little time actually reading , opting instead to party all night , while simultaneously remaining oblivious to their own mortality .\nhard to add anything to the review by\ntechnoguy\njack\n, who has it spot on . this is a wonderfully disturbing film , absolutely brilliantly shot , and superbly acted and edited . it holds its shape and its rich atmosphere from beginning to end . how very odd that the director went on to make consistently mediocre films for the rest of his career . what a performance by patricia gozzi !\nthis is a treasured movie for those who saw it when it first appeared in the mid 1960s . for those not of the 60s , it may seem dated , but it was a very fine expression of english cinema under the creative influence of the french new wave . patricia gozzi was an extraorduinary young ( french ) actress . those whe saw her as a child in sundays and cybele were mesmerised by her haunting , fragile presence . rapture was made about two years later , when she was still only 15 years old . her screen presence was again unforgettable . it was a loss to us she made so very few films . this is a restrained and tender love tale , beautifully filmed black and white .\nthe tragedy of antonioni\u2019s characters is not simply a matter of bored bourgeois ennui ; these people are disconnected from the feminine , from the earth , and from life itself . perhaps no critic got it more wrong than pauline kael in her infamous essay \u201cthe come - dressed - as - the - sick - soul - of - europe parties : la notte , last year at marienbad , la dolce vita , \u201d in which kael attacked the film , demanding less ambiguity :\nmortality is omnipresent in the opening sequence in a hospital room , where giovanni and lidia visit their dying friend , an author named tommaso ( bernhard wicki ) . tommaso wonders aloud if any of his life\u2019s work is of value , and ironically giovanni himself is battling the same sorts of questions , the central post - war preoccupations of modernism ; self - doubt , alienation , and existentialism . giovanni\u2019s self absorption precludes him from a loving relationship with his wife , lidia , who patiently waits for him to grow up during the entire length of the film .\nthis is when a very young and dashing dean stockwell shows up as an american sailor on the run from the french police . earlier in the film , the doctor witnessed a paddy wagon crash , and saw stockwell ' s joseph emerge tussling with a gendarme . they wrestle for a moment before joseph casts off the gendarme who hits his head on a rock and dies . on the lam , joseph dons the scarecrow ' s suit and appears to agnes during a storm , agnes instantly decides that her scarecrow has come to life to be with her , and the plot thickens .\nthe idea of a fifteen year old girl running away to get married to an older man is an uncomfortable one today , but back then it was a scandal . this was an age when the sexuality of teenagers was much more under the covers , and patricia gozzi ' s agnes becomes quite forthright with her desires one she decides that joesph is the man she ' s been looking for . if it weren ' t for this complicated love story , i think the film may have been more of a success , but as it is , it makes for incredibly compelling viewing .\nwhether or not lidia and giovanni\u2019s marriage is saved at the end of la notte seems insignificant in light of the larger issues raised by the film . antonioni offers us far bigger issues to contemplate . what have humans made of the earth ? how do we love one another ? what is the value of women , art and love in a world defined by men of commerce ? can we wake from our sleepwalking ? these are but a few of the questions raised by la notte , a masterwork that only gets better with time , provoking a wakeful regenerative response to 21 st century consumption , devaluation of eros , and our reckless destruction of the natural world .\nt here were many earlier action / adventure disaster films in the silent era through the advent of the talkies . some of the most notable were the hurricane ( 1937 ) - with one of the most spectacular tropical storm scenes ever shot in film history . and two 50 ' s films , the high and the mighty ( 1954 ) and zero hour ( 1957 ) - were the inspiration for all the airplane disaster films of the 70s . [ hitchcock ' s foreign correspondent ( 1940 ) also contained a harrowing airplane crash sequence . ] the real horrors of world war ii ( the holocaust ) , and the perceived threat of nuclear annihilation and radioactive mutancy during the resultant cold war led to a further onslaught of disaster - related films soon after in the 1950s .\nmost disaster films have large - scale special effects ( especially in the recent past ' s mega - budget spectaculars ) , huge casts of stars faced with the crisis , a persevering hero or heroine ( i . e . , charlton heston , steve mcqueen , etc . ) called upon to lead the struggle against the threat , and many plot - lines affecting multiple characters . in many cases , the ' evil ' or ' selfish ' individuals are the first to succumb to the conflagration . as in any sub - genre , the move to capitalize on the ' disaster film ' trend has led to many sub - par disaster films , with weak and unsubtle , formulaic plots , improbable circumstances and bad science , poor character development , and laughable acting from third - rate stars portraying cliched characters .\neven lindblom , in a relatively straightforward role , turns surprisingly motherly towards the motherless agnes , but not so much that she\u2019s willing to put the child\u2019s needs before her own . she has a very pragmatic sense of sexual attraction , but when one boyfriend visits her , she\u2019s practically begging him for sex the moment he steps into her room . and then there\u2019s dean stockwell , whose role in the story i will say especially little of . i tend to think women make the best film actors , and consequently , that the best male actors have something feminine about them , and so it is with stockwell , whose expression is constantly curious , compassionate , and slightly wounded . he comes into this odd place under rather tough conditions , and quietly deduces those here are not too well off themselves . it\u2019s not a pretty scene , and yet he stays anyway ; partially out of necessity , but also because he understand the other three in distinct , fundamental ways that they deeply need , and which have gone otherwise sorely unfulfilled . their interpersonal dynamics are just that \u2013 dynamic , constantly changing and revealing .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nagnes , a lonely teenage girl , and her father befriend an escaped convict , named joseph , who arrives at their farm in brittany , france . when joseph develops an attraction to agnes , her father threatens to break up the union .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

( two daughters 4 and 9 years old ) . it is tense at times , but such wonderous art , music and messages of strong family bonds . if you are relating it to studio ghibli it\u2019s closer to spirited away than my neighbor totoro . i also loved secret of the kells , but it is much much darker and a bit much for my 9 year old . thanks for a great review in a world obsesesd with insanely fast paced action movies .\nso , i showed this to the neighbors kids ( around 6 and 7 ) and they really really got very emotional at some points . their parents actually wanted to give me shit about it , even though after the movie ended they absolutely loved it . why are people afraid of emotions when it comes to kids ? it\u2019s not something you can or should protect them from\u2026it\u2019s not wrong to feel sad watching a movie and being empathic goddamnit . \ud83d\ude00 in fact i think it is very important . learning to feel with and for others , even the imaginary ones , will make it easier to do the same later in life . so what i am saying is this movie is so awesome , if you show it to your kids , it will probably make them better persons in the future . \ud83d\ude00\nmy own kids ( 3 and 5 ) loved it and are already asking to see it again and buy it on blu - ray . the story is beautiful and really transcends age . if nothing else , the animation should hold them spellbound .\nmy 4 year old can\u2019t get enough of this movie . we found it on our amazon fire and ended up buying it so she can watch it at least once a day ( if not more ) . she wants to change her name to saoirse ( which oddly enough we had considered in utero ) and be a selkie .\ni took my two children ( 4 & 5 ) the other day and we loved it . we are into our studio ghibli film so thought it would be right up our street . they both ended up crying at the end and i had to explain that their mummy wasn\u2019t a fairy ( selkie ) so wasn\u2019t going anywhere but other than that we loved it . the next day i was playing the soundtrack and they both stopped to listen with me and asked to see it again . iv fell in love with this film for so many reasons . hand drawn films always seem much better to me and this doesn\u2019t disappoint . if your willing to explore emotions with your kids i would highly recommend this film it is truly fantastic .\ni took my 3 year old to see it , thinking she could handle it based on what this review said . nope ! not even close . it was waaaaay more intense than i was expecting . very dark , rather grim and a score that made us want to crawl out of our skins . personally , i thought it was brilliant , but not for a young one who is sensitive .\ni would have been obsessed with this movie at 4 . but i was also obsessed with watership down at 4 , and my favorite movie was the dark crystal , so i think it really does depend on your individual kid .\nyou ' re a platinum patron !

( 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.\nah this is such a silly film , but has some funny moments and heart warming moments too . it ' s enjoyable .\nthis intriguing film is called\nsole survivor\n, and was a tv movie made in 1970 , directed by paul stanley and starring william shatner . this film had\nhaunted\nme for years until i finally tracked the title down after many , many lengthy internet searches . on at least two occasions when talking about films in the pub , someone has asked\nanyone remember that film where there ' s a crashed bomber and a crew that don ' t know there dead ?\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 audience and critics both seem to think that this is a decent film , so why the poor results ? one obvious answer is lord of the rings : return of the king which hogged most of the box office with almost $ 125 million in its first week . but with \u201csomething\u2019s gotta give\u201d pulling in $ 33 million in the same 2 week period as \u201cstuck\u201d the other problem that becomes obvious is marketing . i thought the ads for this film were just lame , and didn\u2019t at all entice me to go out and see it despite the fact that i\u2019m a damon and kinnear fan . it will be interesting to see how the film does over the next few weeks .\nthis turned out to be a surprisingly effective comedy . okay , sure , you can say that a movie that pokes fun at conjoined twins is in poor taste , but there ' s nothing malicious about it - - it feels , if you can believe it , genuine . you really get a sense of the tenderness and the bond that has developed between the two brothers . of course , as you ' d expect from the farrelly brothers , it ' s laugh - out - loud funny . as you might not expect , there ' s not really any gross - out humor : it ' s more\nhal\nthan\nmary\n. if you can ' t tell , i was pleasantly surprised by this movie . some gag highlights : cher with her boyfriends , matt damon ' s stage fright , greg kinnear in a animal costume .\nthe film is a vehicle for miwa , a diminutive singer - songwriter whose only previous film appearance was in the 2015 drama \u201cmaestro ! \u201d miwa belts out her on - screen numbers with professional poise and impressive pipes , but as aoi she appears on the chirpy , peppy , wide - eyed side , something like a sh\u014djo manga ( girls\u2019 comic ) character brought to life . as the story deepens and darkens , though , miwa follows suit with a straight - ahead commitment .\nto be honest , i have no illusions that you will read this letter . the reason why i will still make this attempt , is that i am upset , disappointed \u2013 well , in fact even afraid - of what you are about to do to a mainstay of our democratic society .\ni think the film you ' re thinking of is\nsole survivor\n. the plane was an american bomber which crashed in the desert . the crew spend their days playing baseball , not realising they ' re dead , until many years later a recovery crew locates their bodies .\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\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\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 ? ? ? ? ? ?\nthese days , his mother takes great pride in his success .\nyes , she ' s fun . she watches my movies when they come on television and gets excited . quite childlike about it , actually .\nand she stakes a claim in his talent not taken by the coppolas .\ni never studied dance ,\nhe says ,\nbut if you look at wild at heart , my mother saw that movie and said , ' you are a dancer . look at how you ' re moving : all that strange energy is like modern dance .

doug\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 .\na fair question , paul , and one i ' ve been expecting . this film has had quite an effect on those that have seen it , i think a quick glance above confirms that . the fact that the vast majority can ' t remember the title is curious , i grant you , but the reason i am 100 % sure is that i can remember watching the film and i can also remember the title . just because i can ( and those above can ' t ) doesn ' t make me wrong . in addition , two other independent subscribers are suggesting that catch 22 is correct . there is no doubt !

i was 13 in 1979 when i saw this movie and fixated by films at the time . that year i carefully logged every film i saw , on what date , i even gave it its own critique . my late father kept this ' log ' of mine in his loft until he died last year . i never ever forgot that movie and have spent the last 30yrs asking friends , family video dvd stores etc etc if they know it ! i can however confirm with absolute truth that the film was called soul survivor and was made in 1970 shown on uk tv in 1979 . it was about the crew of a us ww11 airplane crashing into the desert and in short never realising they had died until the modern day ' rescue ' team arrive at the crash site . it was sad , intense , exciting , magical and for a 13yr old it left a memory of joy and sadness and a feeling of ' who knows ' . i loved it and wish i could see it again to see if it truly is a great film or if you have to 13 to be wowed by it !\nright .\nit ' s something i would love to be able to answer . but i ' ve been very neutral . by design . i know some people look down on my quietude , but i feel it would impact my ability to be an artist . if i wanted to make a movie about it one day , i don ' t want you to know what side i ' m on when you go to that movie . it ' s like i , claudius . i know this is random , but the whole reason claudius survived and went on to be emperor is because he was smart enough to keep quiet and to build his path . which is what i ' m doing .\nit sounds like you ' re talking about\nsole survivor\n, which was made in the seventies . the ghosts are the crew of an american b - 17 , which crashed in the libyan desert during ww2 . the wreckage is found twenty - odd years later , and among the recovery party is a usaf general ( richard basehart ) who was the young navigator who got them lost , then bailed out on them . the ghosts recognise him , and spend the rest of the movie trying to haunt a confession out of him . not a great movie , but intriguing enough to have stuck in my mind this past thirty years .\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\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 .\ntom brady makes a cameo as a film crew assistant . he is the one full of facial piercings laughing at cher ' s computer generated bubble butt .\nincredible ! i ' ve been thinking about this film since i was a kid ( i ' m 35 now ) . i think i only caught the end of the movie and it left such an impression on me i vowed to watch the whole film one day . every now and then it would pop into my head and i would think i must try to find the name of it sometime . so , tonight finally i type in a long - shot search into google and stumble across this thread ! i can ' t believe it ! i so agree with many of you who thought this film was a figment of their imagination . what was it about this film that hooked us so much - i mean , i was a little girl , my main joy was my cindy dolls , ballet and ponies - why would a movie about war , airplanes & dead pilots leave such an impression ? ! anyway , after reading all your posts i ' ve just been on ebay and bought a copy of sole survivor . i don\u0092t know if it ' s going to be the one i remember , but i ' ll let you know when i ' ve received it and watched it - fingers crossed .\ni believe the title has been absorbed by a remake at some time . this film has haunted me like many others . if you have seen\nit\nthe whole movie is based on characters that do not know they are dead .\nsole survivor\nas i have just watched on youtube is most definitely not the movie i remember . i believe like many classic concepts it gets remade into obscurity . many people remember\nsole survivor\nbut i know this is not the movie that has stayed with me over 30years . maybe one day we will all find peace ."]}

epic tv show , zhas ulan , and a musical fairy - tale , astana\u2014my love ( astana\u2014liubov ' moia ) , have already have been completed , while the feature films the sky of my childhood ( nebo moego detstva ) , late love ( pozdnaia liubov\u2019 ) , and liquidator ( likvidator ) are currently in production . tale of the pink bunny is among those films already completed , and is the first feature film of director farkhat sharipov ( b . 1983 ) , a graduate of the new york film academy ( los angeles branch ) and kaznai ( zhurgenov kazakh national academy of arts in almaty ) . sharipov is known within the kazakh film community for his short films , primarily for his graduate work happy and unhappy ( schastlivyi i neschastnyi ) . he also wrote the screenplay for tale of the pink bunny , which premiered on 26 august 2010 in almaty and screened in competition at the vi eurasia iff in september 2010 .\ntale of the pink bunny was written as a mainstream teen movie about the contemporary youth of almaty . as sharipov stated in one of his interviews : \u201cthere will be no morals or lectures here . we don\u2019t want to preach to anyone , we just want to show our generation\u201d ( amirhan ) . thus , the film claims to be something akin to a \u201crealistic portrait\u201d without a hidden subtext : \u201cit\u2019s an action movie , a show [ \u2026 ] . our goal is for the viewer to enjoy watching the film in the theatre . but if he wants to draw some moral conclusions , then it means that we have achieved a goal above and beyond what we anticipated\u201d ( pel\u2019ts ) .\nthe plot structure is not complex at first sight . a young man , erlan , moves to the big city to study at the university . but in almaty he faces the cruel circumstances of urban life : people are selfish , corrupt , small - minded , and interested only in money and power . erlan rents an apartment , finds a job , and tries to match the pace of life in almaty , or \u201cto breathe in the same rhythm as the city does\u201d ( the catchphrase of the movie ) . but this is much harder than erlan had imagined . after witnessing a car accident and calling an ambulance , he becomes the target of the city\u2019s \u201cnew kazakhs . \u201d in a matter of days he experiences more problems than he ever could have imagined .\nluckily , while working the night shift dressed as a big , pink promotional rabbit , erlan meets igor , a member of kazakhstan\u2019s gilded youth , who helps him solve most of his problems . erlan then begins an affair with the rich and beautiful dzheka , despite the social differences between them . he also befriends poor plodders living together in a single apartment , ready to take any job offered to them . still , the influence of igor and his world cause erlan to become pretentious , and he himself begins to behave like a member of the gilded youth . as part of these new activities he offers a friend money in exchange for doing ten years in prison for a crime he did not commit .\nbut this new way of life ends suddenly and ironically for erlan . he narrowly escapes a prison sentence , just like his friend whom he persuaded to accept the bribe . this is the film\u2019s first coincidence . shortly after , erlan and igor witness a suicide and are both mistakenly suspected of murder . when a \u201cnew kazakh\u201d tries to convince erlan to confess the murder to save igor , it turns out to be the same bandit who has been after him all along after he was witness to a car accident . this is the second coincidence . yet again , it is only thanks to happenstance that erlan escapes trouble : a he had inadvertently recorded the suicide on his cell phone , thus proving his and igor\u2019s innocence . this video is an exact replica of the first scene of the film , giving the storyline a circular structure .\nexpensive cars , \u00e9lite parties , a love story , and a hint of philosophy , on the one hand ; and bitter reality on the other\u2014this is the primary opposition that drives tale of the pink bunny . but this juxtaposition is not surprising , given sharipov\u2019s own expectations for his film . a hollywood pattern has been applied to kazakh reality , and the end product is certain to be successful with youth audiences . in this way , the film\u2019s plot and main themes are not novel . : the collision between different social classes , a love story between a rich , beautiful girl ( or a rich , handsome man ) and an ordinary pauper are the formulae for a number of movies , from alfred hitchcock\u2019s rebecca ( 1940 ) and billy wilder\u2019s sabrina ( 1954 ) to james cameron\u2019s titanic ( 1997 ) and nick cassavetes\u2019s notebook ( 2004 ) . but if these movies focused more on the love story , in the tale of pink bunny the relationship between dzheka and erlan is secondary to the opposition between social classes and their respective worlds .\nwithin this formula , the visual structure of tale of the pink bunny stands out as unnatural . special effects are combined with careless editing in several scenes . the film claims to be stylized like a hollywood teen movie , but cannot reach that level of professionalism , looking instead like a low - budget amateur film in places . in fact , the film\u2019s budget totaled $ 500 , 000 . \u201ci think that for kazakhstan , a budget of $ 500 , 000 is that happy medium that allows one to make a watchable [ smotribel ' nyi ] and commercially successful film , \u201d sharipov noted in an interview ( amirhan ) . it is puzzling , therefore , why the film is not that \u201cwatchable , \u201d despite sharipov\u2019s expectations with such a budget . perhaps $ 500 , 000 would have been enough had the money been spent in others ways : on editing , for instance , instead of porsche cars .\nthe film\u2019s title refers literally to the pink bunny that erlan plays for his advertising job , where he works in a pink bunny costume . but it also has a more symbolic meaning . on the one hand , the pink bunny is a costume , a mask . everyone wears a mask to hide his true emotions , and under this mask lies a cruel reality . though the mask smiles , when erlan removes it we see his sad and exhausted face . in this way the film highlights the contrast of two worlds , with erlan living between them . he can put on any mask , but he will always remain the same person .\nanother meaning of the pink bunny imagery is even more straightforward . erlan sees the world through rose - colored glasses , and this vision is again contrasted with the real colors of life . the pink bunny is therefore a link between these two worlds\u2014between different social classes and attitudes . when he receives money , erlan puts on a fake , unnatural mask and begins to judge the world though his rose - colored glasses . it is only when he himself faces the bitter reality of life that things become clear to him . at the end of the film , erlan sits in his pink bunny costume with his mask removed , struggling between two worlds . as he imagines his future as a prisoner he begins to understand the gravity of his actions . ultimately , erlan finds happiness only when he ends up exactly where he started , lucky to be alive and free .\nwhile keeping in mind sharipov\u2019s statement about the film as a \u201crealistic portrait , \u201d it is interesting to note that the story is hardly about the life of an average kazakh . what happens to erlan is far from ordinary , and the two different worlds he acknowledges are not in constant conflict in real life as they are shown in the film . while poverty and wealth certainly exist in contemporary kazakhstan , they do not collide on such a scale . the film\u2019s portrayal of the gilded youth is more reminiscent of a rap video than of the reality of almaty , while the \u201cnew kazakhs\u201d look like the \u201cnew russians\u201d and mafiosi of the early nineties .\nthe film departs from the tradition of the \u201ckazakh new wave , \u201d favoring instead hollywood cinematic standards . if we were to compare sharipov\u2019s film with rashid nugmanov\u2019s needle ( igla , 1988 ) , with its definite art - house quality and neo - noir tones , we see that the tale of the pink bunny is without a doubt a mainstream movie . here the bitterness of reality is not highlighted , but mentioned only as a contrast to the glamorous life of the gilded youth . thus , sharipov\u2019s film sets itself up as a mainstream action movie with hints at social drama , but lacking the hardboiled drama about a cruel reality from which there is no way out .\nthe dynamic development of the story is well supplied with music , primarily with russian rap and instrumental hip - hop , adding to its hollywood genre feel . while there is no original score , the film is accompanied by the main theme \u201cmute city\u201d ( \u201cgorod nemoi\u201d ) , written and performed by the band naz , in which the film\u2019s storyline is retold through rap lyrics . this song is heard during the final credits , following the simple inscription : \u201cit\u2019s a kind of happy ending\u201d ( \u201ceto takoi vot kheppi end\u201d ) .\non kazakh forums and blogs , tale of the pink bunny has been called the most anticipated and promising kazakh film of the year . kazakhfilm arranged several previews for bloggers who received the film well , praising it as a successful and stylish drama . regardless of its aesthetic and technical flaws , the film is without a doubt a worthy cinematic product in which hollywood genre standards have been successfully applied to kazakh reality . and for kazakh mainstream cinema in general , this is clearly a sign of progress .\namirhan , aysha . \u201cfarhat sharipov : \u201cnasha molodezh ' verit tol ' ko v den ' gi , \u201d biznes & vlast ' ( 14 august 2009 ) .\nqyzghylt qoyannyn engimele -

barracuda\nthe red queen kills seven times\nis a sophisticated , sexy , stylish giallo with many twists and surprises . it is not as gory as others in the genre but the amount of blood delivered is right . you will enjoy its wonderful colors , the gorgeous women , the clothes , the tasteful decor , the lighting effects and the beautiful soundtrack . one of the best into the world of giallo .\nthe red queen kills seven times is a fantastic giallo , full of twists , turns , red herrings , and a web of complicated character relationships . you may have to watch it twice to sort things out , but it ' s hardly a chore , thanks to the fast pace , good acting , and an engaging plot which mostly makes sense . though the film is set in modern times , it borrows elements from gothic horror , with a castle setting , cobwebbed dungeons , secret rooms , and a family curse .\nwhen two sisters inherit their family castle , a string of murders committed by a mysterious dark haired woman in a red cloak decimates their circle of friends . is the killer their ancestor , the\nred queen\nwhom legend says claims seven lives every hundred years ?\nthe story behind the scene in the painting is that the 2 queens were sisters who lived in that same castle centuries ago and have always hated each other since childhood . after she was fed up from her sister\u2019s pranks , the black queen murdered the red queen while she was sleeping , by stabbing her seven times . the legend goes that a year after her death , the red queen arose from the grave and murdered 6 innocent victims before killing the black queen . after killing 7 times , the red queen finally has her vengeance and can return to her grave to rest in peace . however , since this is a curse , the same thing has been known to occur every 100 years and always involves 2 sisters from the family bloodline and wouldn\u2019t you know it , the next curse deadline is only 14 years away .\nthe \u201cevelyn\u201d in the red queen kills seven times is nothing to do with the title character in the night evelyn came out of the grave but remains a potent antagonist and ( as kim newman notes in the audio commentary ) could have potentially become an iconic horror figure if the film had been granted a us remake in the 1980s , as part of the masked killer / slasher subgenre . it is unknown for the majority as to whether or not the red queen is a supernatural being or a person adopting her guise , which contributes to the tension and terror .\ngame of thrones : the complete seven . . . $ 39 . 23 , save 48 %\ndirector emilio p . miraglia ( the night evelyn came out of the grave ) once again combines a conventional giallo whodunit narrative with supernatural chills , concocting a gripping horror / thriller hybrid which moves effortlessly between the world of high fashion and creepy gothic locales . co - starring b - movie legend sybil danning ( grindhouse , howling ii ) , the red queen kills seven times shows that there s more to gialli than black - gloved killers !\nwithout getting too deep into the film ' s ostensible\nmythology\n, the painting depicts the internecine struggle between a black queen and red queen , hence the title of the film . little evelyn is evidently the murderous red queen in this scenario , but in one of this film ' s really haphazard narrative lurches , once the story has moved forward fifteen years , there ' s then a\nopens , warring young sisters kitty and evelyn are told by their grandfather of the history behind one of the paintings in the castle they call home . some years before the red queen and the black queen were similarly warring sisters who maintained a feud into adulthood until the black queen murdered the red queen . a year after this , the red queen returned from her grave to murder 7 people , the last one being her sister . the ominous suggestion being these two girls are headed down the same dark path unless something can be done . skipping ahead to kitty as an adult , her grandfather dies and his will must be read . evelyn is said to be in america but the truth is , kitty knows her sister is dead\u2026because she killed her . or did she ? and who is the figure in bright red cloak who is murdering various people around kitty ? perhaps once again the red queen has returned from her grave for revenge .\na series of murders links fashion photographer kitty wildenbruck ( barbara bouchet ) to a curse on her family bloodline and a devilish spectre known as the red queen .\nan age - old family curse hits sisters kitty and franziska following the death of their grandfather tobias . every hundred years , so the legend goes , the bloodthirsty red queen returns and claims seven fresh victims . was tobias just the first . . . and are kitty and franziska next ?\n[ images : the red queen ( top ) fifteen seconds from killing , ( middle ) eight seconds from killing and ( bottom ) one second from killing . ]\n\u201cthe red queen kills seven times\u201d comes together much better than the average giallo . the director , screenwriter , cinematographer , costume designer and composer ( a terrific score by bruno nicolai ) are all in sync with each other . they create a thriller that looks and sounds as it should with a script that actually works and enough acting chops to pull it off . the film is not particularly scary , and it has more silliness than your average argento or fulci flick , but it is also likely to have broader appeal .\nthe noble wildenbr\u00fcck family is plagued by a curse that dates back centuries . long ago , two sisters ( the red queen & the black queen ) despised each other with a passion - filled hate . in anger , one dark day the black queen murdered her sis , and so it would seem their deep enmity would finally be laid to rest . but legend has it the red queen returns every 100 years to take her revenge . . . by killing 7 people in and around the family . flash to the present : fashion photographer kitty wildenbr\u00fcck (\nthe simple plot revolves around a family curse in the form of an ancestral red queen who embarks on a murderous spree every 100 years . when sisters kitty ( barbara bouchet ) and fransizka ( marina malfatti ) inherit their estate , several acquaintances are killed by a woman in a red cloak with long dark hair . is this the vengeful spirit of the red queen , or someone with more earthly intentions using the legend to their own purposes ?\nthe painting that sent little evelyn into a murderous frenzy is a disturbing image of the so called \u201cblack queen\u201d stabbing the dark haired \u201cred queen\u201d in the neck . both characters in the painting could easily be viewed as older versions of the 2 quarreling girls at present . the curse is explained in a rather quick and confusing manner that caused me to have to rewind it a few times , so allow me to explain it to you more clearly\u2026 .\nduring all of this , the supposed red queen makes her rounds violently knocking off other characters that seem to know a thing or two about what\u2019s going on . knowing that she must be the seventh victim , kitty really starts to fear for her life as the body count increases and gets ever closer to seven .\ntrqkst is by far one of the better giallo films this side of deep red , with which ( as alan jones notes in the audio commentary ) it also shares parallels . trqkst ( aka the lady in red kills seven times ) , is the second disc in arrow video\u2019s killer dames box - set and remains a must for genre aficionados and film fans in general . despite some quivering performances and occasionally juddering plot swerves , it\u2019s a powerful , enrapturing , trend - setting fable ; a near blood - shot , shimmering giallo classic with deep crimson visuals , surreptitious plotting and a clandestine sting in its tail .\nfeels like a 98 - minute tour through a decade of italian horror filmmaking . the familial , haunted - castle backstory involving the red queen evokes the gothic era of the early 60s , when bava and steele reigned as king and queen , while the bright , gaudy fashion world aesthetic recalls bava\u2019s transition into color filmmaking . these two contrasting styles clash throughout\nbut the hub connecting the various spokes of sunday\u2019s episode , \u201cthe queen\u2019s justice , \u201d was the queen herself , who , we were reminded by mycroft the iron banker , was the spit and image of her father even as everyone else was trying to distance themselves from the sins of their ancestors .\nthe titular red queen is supposedly the spirit of a long - dead , tragically murdered daughter of the wildenbrucks , a wealthy clan who still resides in the family castle . legend has it that her unrested soul returns every hundred years to claim seven victims , including any wildenbruck daughters . presently , two sisters , kitty and eveline , live in the castle along with their grandfather , who relays the sordid family history as if it were some twisted bedtime story . even though history seems to be repeating with these two bickering sisters , the grandfather assures them that the red queen is not due to return for over a decade , in the year 1972 .\none standout murder sequence that scores the films some major points involves the red queen driving a car and dragging a victim , stuck in the car door , along the road . this sequence brought to mind another very similar moment from one of my favorite films , dario argento\u2019s legendary masterpiece deep red , but trqk7t predates that film by a good three years\u2026 .\n\u201cthe red queen\u201d is a real winner , and lets you know just how good it will be without wasting any time . the introductory prologue features a little blonde girl ( named kitty wildenbr\u00fcck ) playing with her doll . her mean brunette sister , evelyn wildenbr\u00fcck , steals it and runs into their father\u2019s cozy study , within a dwelling that looks like a manor mutated into a castle . there , to the horror of her sister and wheelchair - bound father , she proceeds to stare at a creepy painting of a black queen stabbing a red queen and then stabs the doll repeatedly while screaming \u201ci hate you ! \u201d\nhenry williamson\u2019s \u201cthe old stag\u201d has been hailed as the best collection of animal stories since sir john fortescue\u2019s \u201cthe story of a red deer\u201d .\ntruly gorgeous cinematography by alberto spagnoli ( 1st ac on red desert ) . and the film scan is a + .\nit almost seems fitting that the most enduring image from this jaunt is the red queen herself , an elusive phantasm treading the line between fever dreams and reality , her iconic crimson cape and a blood - curdling giggle trailing in her elusive wake . she\u2019s there\u2014and then she\u2019s not\ntropes like gushing red blood , which has a suitably garish hue here . that said , there are parts of\nthe plot being not so interesting after all , i focused on the production design . the scenes take alternatively place in a gothic german castle and in a few apartments . love ugo pagliai ' s bad taste for his flat ' s decoration . he almost deserves to be stabbed by the red queen . recommended though .\nthe scene so neatly summarizes the whole of the human condition that miraglia might as well have stopped the film there , but he goes on . the patriarch gathers the two girls onto his paralyzed lap and relates to them the terrible story behind the painting : every 100 years a pair of sisters who are intense rivals undergo a terrible curse . the \u201cblack\u201d sister kills the \u201cred\u201d one , only to have the young woman reborn as a vengeful spirit that butchers seven victims , ending with the \u201cblack\u201d sister . no worries though ; the next iteration of the cycle is more than ten years away . the audience is left to wonder if this seemingly inconsequential backstory may , in fact , be foreshadowing some later event . hmm\u2026\nat this point , there are probably several questions scratching at the viewer\u2019s mind such as will evelyn really arise from the grave as the killer red queen ? , who was the red caped knife wielding diva that scared the bejesus out of poor tobias wildenbr\u0171k ? , and why is barbara bouchet so damn foxy ? well sit back and pour you another glass of wine because we are only 13 minutes into the movie and there\u2019s a lot more to come before any of those questions are answered .\nit ' s nearly a typical giallo with red herrings abound in its mystery , an overly complicated plot , and being polished in technique but not in its depth . the red queen legend is a good creepy starting point to navigate its murders and the plot is often very convoluted with some loose ends coming up in its end twist . yet , like any fair giallo , it ' s flamboyant enough that you should just take all the style in .\nanother main character that is introduced later in the story is martin hoffmann ( ugo pagliai ) , the new general manager of springe , who took over after the former manager hans meyer ( bruno bertocci ) was murdered by the red queen , while out shopping for a prostitute in the interest of having a threesome with his mistress lulu ( sybil danning ) .\nwizzle takes himself off to st paul\u2019s cathedral , where a plentiful supply of pigeons keeps him well fed . then he moves on to hyde park and kills a green woodpecker , and where he is watched by a\none of sybil danning ' s early films . almost unrecognizable with red hair . and quite nude . great interview on the arrow video blu - ray .\nto make things juicier , martin\u2019s wife elisabeth explains to him during a conjugal visit that evelyn visits her at night and that they run free in the forest that surrounds the institution , and that evelyn promises to eventually take her away forever . watching elisabeth explain this to martin in a delirious state of mind is very entertaining and causes one to ponder if her account of evelyn is true or not , given her current mental state . well , later that night the red queen does come for elisabeth and helps her to escape the asylum forever . as elisabeth is climbing the gate to freedom , the red queen cuts the ladder resulting in much blood flow as elisabeth\u2019s head is impaled by the deadly sharp ornaments that line the top of the gate . a stand out gory moment in the film\u2026\nso , now we have all the conventions of a great gothic horror tale , but the atmosphere of the film seems to switch at this point as we transition into what feels like a different movie . the vibe completely changes to more of a giallo film ( which is way cool with me ) , as we follow kitty at work snapping photos of supermodels at the springe fashion organization . it is here that several new characters are introduced to the story , who basically serve as murder victims for the ghoulish red queen , or are suspects in a possible red queen hoax . also , the prospect of a murder mystery involving characters in a fashion designer clique reminded me a lot of mario bava\u2019s blood and black lace ( which is a good thing , i might add ) .\nand who is currently at dragonstone ? jon\u2019s aunt , also known as the other powerful queen in this story , who has moved into her ancestral home and has a nice map of her own .\na curse haunts the wildenbr\u00fcck family once every 100 years \u2014 two sisters have always become the red and black queen , feuding until one of them dies . then , the survivor is haunted by sixth deaths , with the final death \u2014 the seventh death , referenced in the title , being the surviving sister . kitty ( bouchet ) and evelyn are the next two sisters to be so cursed , battling even in childhood , stabbing each other\u2019s dolls with daggers .\ni also can\u2019t help thinking that i might be being a bit too thorough with the film ' s plot , because what really outshines here is the murders by the red queen , the great music from bruno nicolai , the attractive female cast , the vintage 70\u2019s designer fashions , and the exotic european settings . the film combines the giallo film style and gothic horror tale with panache , and if you enjoy those two things , then trqk7t is likely to be a treat .\ncavan sets his goshawks free to attack the wild red kite . the \u2018tame\u2019 tethered red kite becomes very agitated , so he cuts her leather thongs to let her go free and she flies up and joins the wild bird . the goshawks , outwitted by the kites , eventually give up and return home : the kites fly off and \u2018live happily ever after\u2019 \u2013 later that year producing four young .\n\u2013 soon to be unleashed upon the world . ) we are told the life story of the stag to date , the technical terms dropped into the prose like plums in the pudding : the stumberleap stag lives his life naturally , as do all the red deer of exmoor .\na lovely giallo gothic hybrid with the ever beautiful barbara bouchet . this movie was a pleasure to look at through and through . style around every corner . the twisty plot keeps things moving along at a nice pace , and the kills are gratifying despite a ki count being somewhat on the low side .\nas i cosied up in the coach , frostbitten villages , blotted with the onion domes of gothic churches , hazed by in the valleys . even the red lights of the ubiquitous austrian brothel couldn ' t detract from this winter wonderland .\nuniversal pictures and breaking bad screenwriter gennifer hutchison team up to adapt author victoria aveyard ' s science fiction novel set in a society where citizens are segregated due to the color of their blood , and centering on a 17 - year - old revolutionary who poses as a long - lost princess in order to protect her family . the red queen is the first installment in a proposed trilogy of films .\n) is untroubled by the ancient myths of her family . that is , until people around her begin to die at the hands of a mysterious red - cloaked , knife - wielding ripper !\n, since both of these films were done in the traditional italian manner of being entirely post - looped , even the\noriginal language\nversion has occasional mismatches between lip movements and words uttered . fidelity is fine on both tracks , and the at times weirdly perky scores of bruno nicolai sound great .\nwhen the giallo is set in italy it typically takes one of three different routes . sometimes it promotes\nitalian - ness\nthrough a foregrounding of identifiable tourist spots that often halt the narrative and serve as sheer spectacle . other times it strives to erase italian - ness by establishing the setting as an ( other ) anonymous european city , avoiding distinctive signifiers of italy altogether . and still other times it constructs a\nrural - historical\nlocale as a place of the uncanny , as in la casa dale finestre che ridono ( the house with the windows that laugh , pupi avati , 1976 ) .\nthe film starts out incredibly in a beautiful gothic castle in germany . as little girls , kitty wildenbr\u00fcck and her sister evelyn have been fighting when their grandfather tells them the story behind an incredibly uncanny painting : legend has it that a fiendish red lady is to return to the castle every hundred years and kill seven people . fourteen years later , kitty ( barbara bouchet ) has become a successful fashion photographer . suddenly , people begin to get murdered . . .\nthis illustrated edition was reprinted several times during the 1940s , including an edition by penguin in 1942 , complete with full illustrations \u2013 quite an achievement during those very austere war years , when paper and permission to print were hard to come by . it has a most poignant printed message on the title page :\nthe fashion is an inextricable element of \u201cred queen\u2019s\u201d appeal , indulging in extremes of kitsch rivaled by only a few other giallo . much of the credit must go to costume designer lorenzo baraldi ( his credits include \u201cportrait of a nude woman\u201d ( 1981 ) which i would think would not have needed his services ) who was clearly at least as interested in radical color combinations and dizzying op art as he was in showing off the assets of cast .\narya originally planned to go to winterfell , but apparently changed her mind once she heard her kill - list target is in charge in king\u2019s landing . i\u2019m going to kill the queen , she told ed sheeran and his soldier friends .\nbruno nicolai\u2019s score is hauntingly beautiful , in the style of a children\u2019s nursery rhyme that was popularised in later , and perhaps more well - known , gialli such as dario argento\u2019s profondo rosso ( deep red , 1975 ) . similarly , with its supernatural undertones and red - cloaked , cackling murderess , the film channels the uncanny aspects of the fairy tale to present an outlandish thriller worthy of any gialli or italian horror fan\u2019s time .\n. where that film constantly pivots between different modes and styles , this one is largely committed to a stalk - and - slash routine that keeps the blood flowing . the title demands at least seven murders , after all ( it actually delivers this and more , not that i\u2019m complaining about the misnomer ) . in sequences seemingly inspired by contemporaries like bava and argento , miraglia artfully stages many of the incredibly bloody murders , with the crimson spatter acting like grace notes . one sequence involving a wrought - iron gate is among the most creatively gruesome kills the genre has to offer , and miraglia consistently treats each murder as a show - stealing moment , putting him at ( or at least near ) the forefront of the splatter movie tradition .\nt\u2019chakamma breaks free , with the youngster held protected , and tries to climb up to the cave of bats , but the dogs give chase and attack . the vulture waits on above . t\u2019chakamma makes a stand on a cliff ledge and kills most of the hunting dogs . on a ledge t\u2019chakamma and swart piet tussle together : both are wounded . swart piet lies exhausted and nearly dead . the vulture lands nearby .\nsuch seemingly peculiar behaviour by red kites is well known . shakespeare certainly knew of the trait \u2013 as he noted in a winter\u2019s tale : \u2018when the kite builds , look to lesser linen\u2019 ( act iv , scene 3 ) .\nit ' s got everything i want from a giallo : red herrings , great score , beautiful euro ladies , bloody kills , convoluted plot , nudity . . . . but it adds in a gothic supernatural flavour as well . the killer is delightfully over - the - top and there is no way you can confidently guess who it is , because it really doesn ' t make any sense . but it was still a pretty fantastic ending / reveal . my only real complaint is that they don ' t use the castle setting a little more .\n, this film is bathed in red , whether it\u2019s in the form of lurid bloodshed , garish garments , or gaudy decorations . it slowly becomes inescapable , much like the death curse that haunts the characters here , guiding them to an inevitable doom heralded by fleeting glimpses of a lady in red . where many gialli zig and zag , this one gives the impression of constantly spiraling downwards , much like blood circling a drain\u2014meaning it\u2019s no less dizzying , of course .\nwhen two sisters inherit their family castle , a string of murders committed by a mysterious dark haired woman in a red cloak decimates their circle of friends . is the killer their ancestor , . . . see more \u00bb\nit ' s also got one of the dopiest setups ever , with a grandfather explaining a family curse that ' s represented by a giant painting in his bedroom that he despises ( after he tells the story to his two granddaughters , he orders the painting removed - i guess he was just waiting for the right moment ? ) . the curse explains the title as well - the family has a curse where every hundred years , one sister ( the\nred queen\n) will murder seven people including her sister . as luck would have it , the hundred year mark occurs 14 years later , when the girls have become beautiful women and the grandfather has passed away , with his inheritance being withheld until the year is over and the curse is\nbroken\n. i mean , all of these movies are ridiculous when all is said and done , but that ' s gotta be the nuttiest one yet - can ' t someone just witness a murder or try to cover up an affair or something like usual ?\nwhen everyone , minus evelyn , gathers to hear the will executor read aloud grandfather tobias wildenbr\u0171k\u2019s living testament , they find out that the inheritance is not to be collected until the end of the year . it seems tobias knew he would die the year of the family curse and felt it best that the inheritance not be collected until all that \u201ckiller queen\u201d hoopla be good and over with .\nwhen two sisters inherit their family castle , a string of murders committed by a mysterious dark haired woman in a red cloak decimates their circle of friends . is the killer their ancestor , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nalberto spagnoli\u2019s cinematography is visually striking ; the measured palette is accentuated in the restoration to stunning effect , with neutral , earthy tones punctuated by the bright and alluring 1970s fashion and d\u00e9cor , particularly the almost violent splashes of the colour red throughout the film . this edition thus warrants the archival introduction and interview with production and costume designer , lorenzo baraldi .\n\u2018 the flight of the pale pink pyjamas \u2019 ( first appeared in collier\u2019s , 1925 ) : the narrator ( hw ) tells us about major arthur cavan , vc , dso , mc , ornithologist , bird photographer and film -

both by him and by the loving regard that fellow giants of metal apparently hold him in . the man ' s a total one - off and on that basis alone , this documentary is well worth seeing . i still hate metal but even if they ' re only indifferent to the music i think most people would love this film . and if you ' re a fan already , then it ' s absolutely unmissable .\nmuch like mot\u00f6rhead shows , this documentary should be played loud , really loud . if you were looking for the chronological examination of lemmy\u2019s career , you will be disappointed . if you thought lemmy lived a larger than life persona and became a different person off -

civilized outlands ( with the intention of automating the rest of the galaxy ) . lemmy is too complex for the computer to understand , so he is released until the computer can determine what to do with him . lemmy returns to his hotel and finds natasha waiting for him . though he knows she is also automated , he cannot help falling in love with her , and tries to help her break through her automation by teaching her the meaning of words like\nconscience ,\ntenderness ,\nand\nlove .\ntheir surreal , stylized love scene is interrupted as the police barge in . the police , who have discovered lemmy\u0092s true identity , arrest lemmy and take him back to the control center , but lemmy shoots all the guards and kills von braun . this final killing renders the alpha 60 impotent . as the stunned mutant inhabitants of alphaville stumble through the city , lemmy saves natasha , who has learned the meaning of the word\nlove ,\nand they drive back to the outlands together\nunlike 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968\u0096only three years later ! ) , which employed highly advanced scientific extrapolations , alphaville uses science mainly as light background or as a basis for subtle witticisms . the film\u0092s eerie science fiction mood is almost the sole product of sound , unusual negative - hue and jump - cut editing , and lighting . for instance , piercing electronic beeps , gravelly voices , and sudden absences of sound are unexpectedly scattered through the film . mundane middle - class characters talk about their recent space flight . most scenes take place in dank rooms , endless hallways , or outside at night . take away these elements , and the result ( aside from a few very strange scenes ) resembles a third - rate french detective film .\nit stars ( the voice of ) danny trejo and it features lemmy playing a priest . like i asked before , how can it not be amazing ?\nlemmy ' s girlfriend cheryl keuleman said the rainbow bar was a fitting location to honour him because it was his\nfavourite place in the world\n.\ndespite being about music , gutterd\u00e4mmerung is a silent film \u2013 but not just any silent film . branded as the \u2018loudest silent movie ever made\u2019 . a live band will be providing the soundtrack as the film tours the world , playing music composed from contributions from all of its rock\u2019n\u2019roll superstars . \u201cthe manner in which a silent movie was given music by a piano player will essentially be replaced by a rock\u2019n\u2019roll band , \u201d explains jesse . bj\u00f6rn\u2019s taken iggy pop\u2019s current band , one hell of a brilliant set of musicians , and as it tours around the world it will incorporate the performers who live there , so it\u2019s got this roving feel to it . we all believe in it , even though we necessarily didn\u2019t know what we\u2019re believing in . \u201d\nafter commenting on how lemmy enjoyed his alone time , though it came across as a bit sad in the documentary , the director succinctly sums up the character of the motorhead frontman , adding ,\nlemmy made his own choices , and was content with them . don\u2019t feel bad for lemmy . he did what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it , every day for the better part of six decades . i can\u2019t say that about many people .\nthe monument was built after a crowd - funding campaign raised more than 22 , 000 dollars ( \u00a316 , 600 ) following lemmy ' s death in december .\na striking black - and - white hybrid of film noir and science fiction , alphaville ( 1965 ) is now one of the most enduringly popular of jean - luc godard ' s films of the 1960s . working without sets , special effects , or even a script , godard created a dystopian vision of a technocratic city of the future , which resonates with filmmakers today . alphaville pits secret agent lemmy caution ( eddie constantine ) against alpha 60 , the super - computer that presides over a city where weeping is outlawed , poetry goes unrecognised and the words ' conscience ' and ' love ' have ceased to exist . lemmy ' s mission is to capture the renegade scientist professor von braun ( howard vernon ) but is complicated when he falls in love with the professor ' s ravishing daughter , natasha ( anna karina ) . in this first ever exploration of godard ' s masterpiece , published on the fortieth anniversary of its release , chris darke uncovers the film ' s unique combination of genres and styles and draws on new interviews with the director ' s collaborators to chronicle the film ' s production .\ni managed to see this at the local cinema last night , the riverview special late night showing , and it was a joy . it was a wonderful film and to watch it with a like minded audience enriched the experience . the film is well shot , well edited and has great access to a wide range of people from lemmy ' s past , and people who have been inspired by him . all the interviews seemed to give the same image of the man , which is one of the main points about him ; he lives the life he wants , accepting the consequences and living an authentic life . the film is surprisingly funny and moving , and although he lives a life very different to most people i think it is quite life affirming . the film has a fantastic cast , well interviewed , some good shots of his music ( but not so much that it would alienate people who are not into heavy rock ' n ' roll ) some careful editing to give coherence , judicious use of slow - mo and worthwhile clips after the titles . i was smiling for most of this movie , which i did not expect . this movie deserves the accolades heaped on it . it is an excellently made movie about a very interesting subject . i would love to see the team do another movie , or biographical movie , as their style here made what could have been a humdrum run through of one unusual lifestyle a wonderfully entertaining , informative and interesting film .\nyou do not have to enjoy mot\u00f6rhead to know that lemmy has an important place among heavy metal and its parent genre rock n\u2019 roll . for being a forerunner to punk and metal , mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s songs have , once you strip away the distortion , rock n\u2019 roll tendencies . once you heard elvis , there was no going back as lemmy claims . lemmy\u2019s style is more of a rhythm bassist which is why his bass lines are so hard driving that the guitars only add higher notes to the melodies .\nthe film is set in a world where god has saved the world from sin by taking from mankind the devil\u2019s \u201cgrail of sin\u201d\u2026 the evil guitar . the earth has now turned into a puritan world where there is no room for sex , drugs or rock \u2018n\u2019 roll .\nfor the most part , olliver and orshoski are smart enough to allow lemmy ' s unique personality to come to them , as opposed to pushing a case for it .\nthe film promises fans more access than ever before to kilmister ' s life , and includes interviews with past and present bandmates and such peers / admirers as slash , dave grohl , the clash ' s mick jones , alice cooper , steve vai and wrestling superstar triple h .\nmay 24 , 2000 | using a satiric blend of american detective noir and science fiction dystopia , jean - luc godard\u0092s 1965 film alphaville : a strange adventure of lemmy caution predated films like blade runner ( 1982 ) by almost two decades . godard also reached back to fritz lang\u0092s film metropolis ( 1927 ) and aldous huxley\u0092s novel brave new world ( 1935 ) to find sources of scientific / political allegories ( dixon 61 ) . finally , godard drew from the popular medium of comic strips to shape the film\u0092s stark visual style ( roud 9 ) . but even with its mishmash of pop - art influences , alphaville retains a singular role in the canon of influential science fiction films\u0096it completely omits the use of the usual sci - fi devices , props , gadgets , and sets . with his innovative technique of filming already - existing objects in ways that make audiences see everyday things as if for the first time ( tv guide ) , his use of scientific jokes , and his low - tech characterization of lemmy caution , godard finds a fresh way to explore a hackneyed message . technology has the power to empower our most profound yearnings , but it all too often services our most shallow instincts .\nmost rock stars probably wouldn ' t appreciate a documentary that exploits their personality for laughs , but the great thing about lemmy is that he ' s in on the joke .\nname ' lemmy ' while roadying for jimi hendrix and co when he hit london in 1967 ; it comes from the oft repeated saying ' len ' me a quid ' .\naustin - - you don ' t have to be a metalhead to love\nlemmy ,\nan awestruck depiction of a rock god whose eccentricities and longevity make him one of the music industry ' s more fascinating characters . wes orshoski and greg olliver ' s film clearly is fan - made , but the testimonials they collect are wide - ranging enough , and their firsthand material entertaining enough , to convey the subject ' s appeal to audiences beyond the metal crowd .\nin the second documentary on this list , lemmy is prominently featured as a voice on a band that very few people know much about despite being revered by the artists in the metal world . lemmy actually recruited their lead guitarist , lips , to join motorhead , but lips declined . this is a must watch for anyone who even dabbles in the metal world .\nlemmy\nfeatures appearances by such high - profile kilmister friends / peers as metallica , dave grohl , ozzy osbourne , slash , billy bob thornton and pro wrestler triple h .\nthe ace of spades rockers disbanded following the death of ian\nlemmy\nkilmister on 28 december 2015 , but will celebrate their last string of gigs with an official music release .\nthe clip also features a live rock and roll band showing explosions and a crowd of people playing guitars , a possible harbinger of the event\u2019s live component . the film\u2019s website does not specify when the movie and live band concert pairing will tour , other than a general early 2016 release date .\nthis film is about lemmy , his unique and daring image and music . don ' t expect any in - depth bio or anything though . half of the documentary is filled with superficial ass - kissing and in my opinion way too much metallica . you don ' t get to hear lemmy ' s early works but there ' s still plenty of live music footage and chit chat . among the interviews , henry rollins had an interesting perspective and joan jett gave an apt if not eloquent summary of lemmy :\neverybody assimilates .\nyou know , go along to get along , you know , to get what they need to get . . . i don ' t see lemmy as that kind of guy .\ni see lemmy as doing things his way to get where he wants to go .\nand that ' s attractive , because people don ' t do that anymore .\nlemmy is constantly smoking and appears to be drinking a lot too . he ' s obviously a smoker but i wonder if the alcohol consumption is exaggerated at this late stage of the game for the coolness factor even though he says he\ndoesn ' t want to advertise\nthat . at one point , he takes a pill for diabetes but again , it ' s never addressed in a detailed , serious way . it is what it is . there ' s a bittersweet moment between his son which again , seems to go under the radar . it reminds me of john wayne ' s persona , his aloofness . in a bar , lemmy billy bob thorton talk indirectly about how much money he makes and how little lemmy makes in comparison . although lemmy probably works ten times as hard for his money , he doesn ' t ' sell out ' except for the metallica stuff but that ' s my own personal opinion . it ' s shocking to see that while lemmy is a bona fide collector , he is also hoarder . seriously , his tiny apartment is overflowing with objects collecting dust . there ' s something loyal about it even though he doesn ' t remember the name of someone who gave him something . it ' s obvious that there is sentimental and a social attachment to them all . in short , lemmy / motorhead fans will get a kick out of all the footage .\nuseful biographical material helps establish the singer ' s place in rock history , stretching back to his days as a hendrix roadie , and interviews ranging from ozzy osbourne to dave grohl flesh out the picture . but the film ' s most valuable footage is of lemmy himself - - shooting the breeze about the entertainment biz with billy bob thornton , discussing his love life with the son he didn ' t meet until the boy was 6 and test - driving a vintage german tank .\njean - luc godard ' s film \u2013\na science fiction film without special effects\nin the words of the critic andrew sarris ;\na fable on a realistic ground\nin godard ' s own description \u2013 is a cry of protest aimed at the worshippers of science and logic . unlike stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey , which now resembles a picturesque relic of long - abandoned aspirations , alphaville still seems to be watching the world come to meet it . and the world is very much closer to the director ' s creation than it was back in 1965 .\n\u201cit is primarily a visual experience with very little dialogue , \u201d rollins said this summer . \u201cand it is not a film that you will see in the traditional way of going into a movie theater and sitting down . you will be standing up for this very loud , fully immersive experience . \u201d\nimprint : i . b . tauris publisher : i . b . tauris & co ltd series : cine -

shot of the great man ' s life , delivering vignettes that nicely convey lemmy ' s influence on many of those who followed in his footsteps . the film offers much to entertain those who are not motorhead fans and for those not aware of lemmy ' s legacy . it is an excellent companion piece to his autobiography white line fever , which is to be recommended for those wanting more detail on the subject , but that is not to say that ' lemmy ' does not manage to pack in a good amount of detail itself in tracing the man ' s origins , nicely cut together with scenes that illustrate his ongoing contribution and relevance to the world of rock music at the age of 67 . much credit to directors greg olliver and wes orshoski .\nin penelope spheeris\u2019s exploration of the excess , gaudiness , and empty lives of the la metal scene , lemmy comes off as a wise cracking buddha . his age and wisdom are a stark contrast to the youth and brash stupidity of the fledging rockers in the scene . lemmy lives hard and yet has a good head on his shoulders to talk about it with insight and intelligence .\nsingerman , who managed motorhead from 1992 until the group disbanded after lemmy ' s death , said he believed the stoke - born rock star would be\nextremely proud\nof his statue .\nthe film i felt really captured the essence of who he is what he is about and how he go ' s about doing what he does . when you watch normal doc ' s the interviews feel stale and bland , but everyone in this film is almost worshiping at the altar of lemmy kilmister and as well they should . it follows a nice flow throughout and does a great job of covering his early career and life up to what he is doing now . a portrait of a every day man who just happens to be an extraordinary musician . if you don ' t know who he is you should watch this and get to know him a bit . the best part is that none of it get ' s cheesy and overly sentimental . it ' s just him and that ' s it .\nyou can see a preview of the upcoming horror movie in the above four -

national mining corporation , paid mercenaries and two governments\u2019 militaries\u2026\ncoconut oil is an edible oil that has been consumed in tropical places for thousands of years . studies done on native diets high in coconut oil consumption show that these populations are generally in good health , and don\u2019t suffer as much from many of the modern diseases of western nations where coconut oil is seldom consumed anymore .\nshannon thank you so much . i enjoyed hosting your family very much . thank you for being a part of the revolution . i hope to see you all again next year !\nthe people of bougainville island ( near papua new guinea ) have succeed where many groups have failed . this small island has managed to keep back the army of papua new guinea . as their struggle fought on and an embargo was placed on them , a different kind of revolution was born ; a coconut revolution . from food to biodiesel and everything in between , the people of bougainville have survived for years under the embargo by utilizing old and discovering new ways of using coconuts . this is an inspiring story of resourcefulness and human will .\nthe islanders had the coconuts , enthusiasm and the people to do the work .\nit was with a glowing view of the bounteous liberality of the coconut palm that i visited a number of coconut farms . here i was surprised to find that the farmers were relatively poor . this seemed strange given the number of different products they had to sell . i also noticed a lot of empty land under the palms .\ni next visited the down - stream processing . the conversion of the beautiful clean white flesh of a mature coconut into smoky , dirty , copra puzzled me but i took it as a necessary evil when i visited a large copra mill and was shown the rivers of dark brown oil that flowed from the copra and into refining , bleaching and deodorising ( rbd ) processes that resulted in a lovely golden , odourless , final product . i visited sites making coconut - shell charcoal . the smoke , dirt and evidence of child labour here and at sites making and weaving coir products out of coconut husk suggested a tropical version of the\ndark and satanic mills\nof the industrial revolution two centuries earlier in england .\nthis is a great movie . i have been a proponent of using coconut oil for a myriad of uses forever . even with that i learned so much and would like to know if there is a manual of bouganvillian coconut medicine . thanks\ncoconut oil was once prevalent in western countries like the united states . with a long shelf life and a melting point of 76 degrees , coconut oil was a favorite in the baking industry . but a negative campaign against saturated fats in general , and coconut oil in particular , led to most food manufacturers abandoning coconut oil in recent years in favor of hydrogenated polyunsaturated oils that come from the main government - subsidized cash crops in the us , particularly corn and soy . these hydrogenated oils contain trans fatty acids . the polyunsaturated oils were not a big part of the diet of previous generations , so how has the health of americans changed now that polyunsaturated oils are for the most part all one finds on supermarket shelves across the us ? we encourage you to take an honest look at the research presented on this website , and consider the \u201cother side\u201d of the story , whether it be coconut oil , saturated fats , cholesterol , or the new vegetable oils !\nvirgin coconut oil : how it has changed people\u2019s lives , and how it can change yours ! over 100 testimonies and 85 recipes .\nlearn about the coconut and island survival . find out how coconuts are part of hurricane relief . we will examine the coconuts ability to meet our basic needs of water , food , shelter , and fire . we will also learn about the coconut and it ' s different uses in puerto rico and around the world . during the class you will learn several tropical island survival strategies .\nthe war might look a bit like an \u201ceco revolution\u201d , but it is more than that . when bra started the war , many dreamt of closing the mine and opening it again within weeks under own management and with less workers from other provinces . there is nothing eco about that .\nwhile some people falsely accuse coconut oil of being a \u201cfad , \u201d the fact is that it is a traditional oil that has been consumed for thousands of years in tropical cultures , and the research on the health benefits of coconut oil has existed for a very long time . lauric acid , for example , has a long history of use in combating pathogens , and this research has been around for more than 50 years . coconut oil is nature\u2019s richest source of lauric acid . so while we do publish a lot of people\u2019s experiences with coconut oil , the evidence is not strictly anecdotal . we have a very extensive section on this website dedicated to peer - reviewed studies on the health benefits of coconut oil that are accessed primarily through pubmed . this section is updated frequently as new research is published .\nlast month ( may , 2018 ) i wrote about a new study published in iran that looked at the\nneuroprotective effects\neffects of virgin coconut oil for alzheimer ' s patients . the title of the study is virgin coconut oil ( vco ) by normalizing nlrp3 inflammasome showed potential neuroprotective effects in amyloid - \u03b2 induced toxicity and high - fat . . .\nbe sure to look up\nfrancis ona\non wikipedia . he denounced the elections which brought his former deputy , joseph kabui , into power , which he says saw only a 3 % turnout of eligible voters . sadly , francis , the man who started the whole revolution , died in 2005 of malaria .\namazing experience ! brandon is a great guide . laid back and very informative . we learned how to climb a coconut tree , cut open a green coconut , make shelter , start a fire , and he showed us many different kinds of plants we could eat . oh and we ate . . .\ncoconut revolution 101 is a fun outdoor workshop , for people of all ages . the workshop consists of hiking through a beautiful palm forest , throughout the hike you will learn about the edible plants that grow wild . also , we will look out for wildlife including mud crabs , lizards and birds . then , we will explore all that the tree of life has to offer . you will learn to climb a small palm and open coconuts to get to the delicious and nutritious food and water . then you will learn to build an emergency shelter using palm fronds . after that you get a chance to catch a spark using the coconut husk . during the workshop you will learn all about how coconuts are part of the history and culture of puerto rico . lastly we will plant baby coconuts , and discuss how the coconut played a key role in supplying food and water and protecting the coasts after hurricanes irma and maria , and why they are so important for future generations .\nthe people of bougainville used each and every part of the coconut , which grows abundantly in the area . it had long been known that coconut trees provided food and shelter , but many more uses were discovered for it as a result of the blockade . the skin could be heated in a fire and squeezed onto sores for healing . the husk could be burned to repel malaria - transmitting mosquitos . the leaves could be used to weave baskets . the oil could be used for lamps , for cooking , and to make soap . refined , grade a coconut oil could be used to clean guns . most impressively , through a process involving scraping , squeezing , fermenting , and cooking , coconuts could be used to produce fuel for vehicles . this is how the people of bougainville were able to continue driving cars and abandoned mine vehicles despite the lack of petrol and diesel . from fifteen coconuts , one liter of fuel can be made . coconut fuel is also less polluting than diesel , and gets double the mileage (\nthe second project took longer to get off the ground as i went down many ' dead - ends ' in trying to work out what was possible in the difficult circumstances of the south pacific where logistics , the tyranny of distance , technology and capital constraints were all major hurdles . all the economic advice was that the islands should stick to exporting raw copra instead of attempting to produce coconut oil locally . this was because the few existing local copra mills were running into severe management problems . an attempt to build and operate a higher value - added desiccated coconut factory was a spectacular failure .\ni was amazed by the palm itself : that it should produce regular bunches of large fruit all year round ; that it had a life span akin to that of a healthy human . the fruit itself could be divided into a wide range of products ; the husk could be made into coir fibre products ; the shell into tools , ornaments , charcoal and activated carbon . then there was the nutritious juice followed by the flesh which had delicious milk , cream , oil and \u2014 potentially \u2014 desiccated coconut . then i watched with fascination as a man climbed a palm to gather the sweet nectar or toddy from the young flowers ( inflorescence ) . a little later i took time out to relax at a beautiful resort where the d\u00e9cor had a coconut theme . all the structural pillars were made of polished coconut trunks . it was stunning .\nthe extractive activity of mining on the island of bougainville helped the region develop sustainability in an unexpected way . that is , the resistance of the indigenous population to rio tinto zinc\u2019s panguna mine and papua new guinea inspired a revolution of self - sufficiency . interestingly , if it had not been for the environmental destruction caused by the panguna mine , and the resulting violent conflict , bougainvillians would probably still be relying on fossil fuels . instead , they have developed their own green energy sources : hydro - electricity produced using reused mine materials , and fuel for vehicles produced from coconuts !\nsri lanka has been called the land of\nserendipity\n. this means a surprising , delightful , unexpected discovery . so it was with me in 1976 when i first visited that island nation . i was there to attend an international rubber conference but took the opportunity to visit all the perennial crop research institutes : tea , rubber and coconut . i also visited farmers and down - stream processors . the monocrop tea and rubber industries with their single products held few surprises but my exposure to the coconut industry stunned me . i was amazed , fascinated , surprised and shocked .\nmy family with children ranging from 6 - 23 years old had a great time learning all about the coconut tree . brandon was fun and entertaining . he was also very accommodating in changing our reservation last minute when we were too tired from our travels . the beach . . .\nprior to our departure , in april 1986 , cyclone namu tore through the solomon islands . namu devastated the rice fields on the plains of guadalcanal , so much so that this industry has never recovered . rice is now an entirely imported staple . that same month , the world price of the solomons major export , copra ( the dried flesh of the coconut ) dropped to less than half its \u2018normal\u2019 price . deaths in the country from malaria had increased rapidly . population growth was much faster than the increase in national educational and medical services .\non my return to the anu i commenced work on two projects : the political economy of the modern chinese tea industry and the coconut industry of the south pacific . for the first project , i worked intensively with a colleague , keith forster , who was fluent in mandarin . it was an exciting project which resulted in many academic papers and a book ( green gold : the political economy of china ' s post - 1949 tea industry , published by oxford university press in 1993 ) .\nsurely the people of the islands look to me ; in the lead are the trading ships , bringing your sons from afar , with their silver and gold , to the honour of the lord your god , the holy one of israel , for he has endowed you with splendour .\nafter viewing this documentary i hope that the australian government and the papua new guinea government have taken immediate action to stop the blockade of the island of bougainville and the violence against its people who are trying to protect the island and its natural ecosystems .\nthe power of the people ! ! we can do anything . i loved this documentary\nfor some reason the link to the survey was deleted . it can be found at the wikipedia entry\nbougainville island .\nbe the first to contribute ! for guidance , please visit the awards submission guide .\nhaving visited the solomons a couple of years earlier , i really felt a burden for the country . i remember thinking that the country was \u201cparalytic\u201d and recalled the story of the crippled man brought to jesus on a stretcher by four friends . their way into the house was blocked by a crowd , but with a good dose of lateral thinking , they made a hole in the roof and lowered their friend through it to jesus . i recall praying that maybe i could be used in some way as a friend of the solomons to bring christ\u2019s healing to this nation \u2014 possibly through the \u201ctree of life\u201d , ( the coconut palm ) with its wide range of potential products .\nsince no food was being imported to the island , the people had to increase their level of gardening and land cultivation . every family had to be self - sufficient in order to survive . bouganvillians grew potatoes , peanuts , corn yams , tomatoes , onions , sweet potatoes , cassava , sugar cane , taros , and pawpaw in the rich island soil . the coconut , however , was by far their most valuable resource (\nwhile the development of this package with skilled programmer , peter matthews , was an exciting activity , it gradually dawned on me that the major problems of the relative poverty in the coconut industry had less to do with farming systems and much more to do with the products that were being produced . my graduate students ( who came primarily from the asian tropics and the south pacific islands ) were my prime teachers and i took the lessons learnt into a fulltime research position - still at the anu . to help ourselves make the transition , in 1986 my wife ( maureen ) & i took\ntime out\nto go on a retreat with youth with a mission ( ywam ) in hawaii .\nbrandon was an incredible teacher . i knew ( and cared ) very little about coconuts , but through our fun excercises and demonstrations , his passion both educated me and made me excited about the tree . we climbed coconut trees ( very safely ) , planted seedlings , observed demonstrations using other local . . .\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 .\nwell , i never did before and now i had some as fresh as you can get it and i even know how to climb a coconut tree - without harming it ! i can highly recommend to book this tour , you will learn so much about . . .\nranging from the abandoned sugar plantations in the northeast to the heart of the amazon rainforest , \u201cquilombo country\u201d is alive with first - person accounts of racial conflict , cultural ferment , political identity , and the struggle for land and human rights .\nbut playing for mostly white audiences also left lizzo longing to connect with her roots , so one day she told reed that she wanted to write a tribute to black sisterhood . the resulting track , \u201ccoconut oil , \u201d features gospel organ\u2014a nod to the music she grew up hearing in church\u2014and a recording from her grandmother\u2019s funeral from last year , where a cousin spoke about the generations of strong women in their family . ( the song also has an epic flute solo\u2014lizzo studied classical flute performance at the university of houston . ) lizzo says the speech inspired her to dedicate the ep to her family : \u201cit sums up the whole reason why i\u2019m doing this . \u201d\nmy wife and i just returned and have found the gold is in the people not in the ground . we went up to the mine and yes the devastation was like it says . we were invited to the mine by the bra man ishmael . it warmed our hearts but the blockade of did was unforgiving . . . from the png and aus sides . . we are going back . . . . my second home . .\neveryone who sees this documentary and agrees with me should take the time to contact the australian government and the papua new guinea government to express their anger at this attempt at genocide on the island of bougainville and demand that the island blockade be lifted and the people of the island of bougainville be compensated for what they have been put through .\n\u200bthis experience is like no other , we guarantee you will have a great time and we have the reviews to back it up ! if you do not have a good time we will give you your money back ! coconut revolution 101 will give you a story to take back home with you . we are not a big business with big tour groups that take you to all the same overcrowded spots . we are a small but good , we will show you the authentic side of puerto rico , that features beautiful serene beaches and majestic mangrove forests , that tourist normally don ' t see . we also try to customize our tours to fit your needs and abilities . we have lots experience working with students of all ages , and everyone has fun . just take an easy walking tour , or challenge yourself to climb a small palm . this is your chance to try something different !\nwe felt we were carrying the paralytic but could find no way forward ! we tried the front door , the windows , the back door \u2013 all with the same response . the problem we were faced with is one that most solomon islanders are faced with all the time : a non -

to - three hundred powerful modern weapons from the opposition as they won more and more battles . another tactic the rebels used was the creation of booby - traps that involved planting island herbs on the tracks on which the enemy moved along , when the pngdf soldiers passed by these particular herbs , they would experience allergic reactions far worse than those caused by poison ivy as their testicles and penises would become swollen and painful (\n, 1999 ) . although not directly stated , historical literature about panguna mine implies that most of the mineworkers were from the png mainland , not bougainville ( \u201cthe bougainville crisis\u201d , 1990 ) .\nthe papua new guinea army ( pngdf ) were mobilised in an attempt to put down the rebellion . the newly formed bougainville revolutionary army ( bra ) began the fight with bows & arrows , and sticks & stones . against a heavily armed adversary they still managed to retain control of most of their island . realising they were beaten on the ground , the pngdf imposed a gunboat blockade around bougainville , in an attempt to strangle the bra into submission . but the blockade seemed to of had little or no effect .\nrtz refused to compensate them , so the people decided it was time to put an end to outside interference in the island ' s affairs . to do this they forcibly closed down the mine .\nit appears that the push for the reopening of panguna mine comes primarily from profit - seeking corporations like rtz and from first - world product demands . in the multi - award winning documentary film ,\nnow that the bougainvillians had closed down the mine themselves and rtz had abandoned it , the bougainville revolutionary army ( bva ) was formed , and it raised the stakes of the conflict , plugging for independence from papua new guinea . the riot police could not handle the rebel uprising , so png\u2019s army , the papua new guinea defense force ( pngdf ) , was sent in . the pngdf blockaded the island and were given shoot - to - kill orders so that bougainville was completely cut off from outside resources like petrol , diesel , food products , medicine , and weaponry . australia , with ex - colonial interests , provided png with helicopters that were soon turned to gunships and trained primarily on the unarmed population of bougainville (\nthe solution became obvious : we were to partner with the local company . we had a mutual and profound sense that \u201cnow is the time , do it ! \u201d they would provide the local management and we would provide the equipment and training for a project . together we would work with local communities who had already approached us .\nwe noticed that you ' re using an unsupported browser . the tripadvisor website may not display properly . we support the following browsers :\nhow high can lizzo go ? when it comes to the notes she can hit , the 28 -

hundred and fifty acres of jungle that once served as a hunting ground for locals of the area was cleared for mining by bougainville copper limited ( bcl ) , an australian subsidiary of rtz . meanwhile , the residents of the area were relocated to a makeshift resettlement or \u201cshanty town\u201d , but no financial support was given by the png government or by rtz to help build a school . in 1967 , bcl began excavating what was at the time the biggest open -

( the funding , and therefore the rate of production , is currently in a moment of crisis , as the french government has handed off primary responsibility for supporting african filmmaking to the european union , which has been slow to pick up the ball . ) the motivations and tastes that have created and sustained african cinema remain ; there will always be audiences who will prefer abderrahmane sissako\u2019s bamako to all two thousand of the nigerian videos produced in the same year ( 2006 ) . african fine arts and literatures , after all , have gone on for years without broad popular or african governmental support , depending in large part on foreign networks .\nv . p . - b . : it was really a first - run theater , so we included the reissue releases as part of the day - to - day of the cinema , as well as new releases .\nfor example , because we\u2019ll talk about out 1 , out 1 is being released at bam in brooklyn for a two - week run , but it will be only at cinefamily for one weekend . at the same time , it could go afterwards to other districts , other places , but it\u2019s really split . it\u2019s a different way , consuming cinema in la .\nfrom the beginning , to speak or write about african cinema has been to complain about its structural dependency . the most recent book on the subject describes a situation in which strategies to radically change this structure seem to have collapsed ; the new generation of filmmakers has moved on to more individual and psychological themes , borrowing eclectically from the aesthetics of world cinema without worrying about african authenticity ( diawara , african film : new forms of aesthetics and politics ) .\nalive inside is a joyous cinematic exploration of music ' s capability to reawaken our souls and uncover the deepest parts of our . . .\nafterellen . com is a property of totallyher media , llc , an evolve media , llc . company . \u00a9 2018 all rights reserved .\nregal l . a . live : a barco innovation center is l . a .

of - the - cinema - as - we - know - it scenario . now , at last , we have what we needed : some rigorous academic thinking on the subject combined with detailed analysis of what exactly is going on in the fast -

but comes off as randomly executed , surprisingly repetitive and relatively un - inspired .\nthe products of the nollywood system , geared to make films so quickly and cheaply and in such large numbers , are fundamentally different from african celluloid films . nollywood films are made to fit the small screens on which they are normally seen . the video cameras now in use are mostly of pretty high quality , but the sound recording quality is seldom good enough to stand up to theatrical presentation . the contrast in the investment of time is more important that the technical differences or even the budgets ( african celluloid film budgets are very low by world standards , though much higher than for nollywood videos ) . normally it takes years to assemble the funding for a celluloid film , and a script is the primary tool for conjuring up the money ; the script therefore is written and rewritten , reviewed and judged for a long time , during which it is the major landmark in the life of the director , who is in many cases the writer .\na dcp is like a hard drive\u2026 before you had a print , whatever the format , but now everything is in this hard drive , and you can put your entire movie , and also other versions , versions with different subtitles , everything on a small hard drive that can be compared to an iphone , or something like that . you have to connect it to the provider in the projection booth in the cinema ; they upload all the files that are on the hard drive . and with the digital equipment , you can then project it on your screen in your theater .\nin every country on earth there are people striving to speak through movies . this is their story . learn more and buy the dvd on amazon today at urltoken\nis it possible for an artist to break ? following on -

b . : \u00bb , in a way . you can watch a movie in so many different ways . first , and the original one , is in the cinema , in the theater , and will stay forever , i believe , because even with all the media and all the possible ways to see movies , and with all the cinemas nowadays , people are going more than ever to see movies in theaters . of course there\u2019s more and more disparity \u2014 it means that a new film or even a re - release could work more , but there are more and more movies that are doing less and less . this is today\u2019s society .\nhues of blue were everywhere at their pier wisconsin wedding and reception in the stately pilot house that offers one of the grandest views of milwaukee\u2019s lakefront and of the lake . deep blues of the water and sky contrasted beautifully with dozens of white sales and hulls bobbing on the lake below . the couple embraced those colors in their elegant decor and even in their beautiful wedding cake by simma\u2019s bakery that had bold swaths of blue and white raking across its surface , mimicking the always changing colors of the water below .\nmoreover , there was the problem of distribution . the cinemas across africa were supplied by a duopoly of foreign distributors who required block booking contracts , excluding the cinemas from showing anything but their second - run american \u201cb\u201d movies , supplemented from the 1960s on by bollywood productions and then , later , hong kong martial arts films . even if the cinema owners were willing or able to get out of these exclusive contracts , an african film that needed to recover its production costs could not compete on price with the films being dumped by the world\u2019s largest film industries , so there was no commercial incentive for the cinemas to show local films . this structural problem has kept the cinema distribution system closed to african films up to the present . in the wake of the structural adjustment programs of the 1980s , which devastated economies across africa , and then the advent of digital technologies , many cinema houses have closed , disappearing altogether in some places .\nwas adapted quite honourably to the screen by both pelley and mark hoffe , and so not a lot gets lost in translation . jason priestley and shawn doyle play the ( exceptionally handsome ) brothers at the core of this drama . owen is a writer who emerges from rehab to spend time with his estranged brother alex . at the centre of almost every tragedy is a woman , that\ngoogle made sure the film and the project were accessible to the widest possible audience everywhere on the planet thanks to the technology of the web . from the 12th of september 2015 , web users worldwide could watch the film for free on youtube and google play . seven youtube channels were created to distribute three 90 -

independent company because it\u2019s path\u00e9 , and in a district [ the 13th arrondissement ] where there are cinemas , but it\u2019s not really a cinephile district . so it\u2019s interesting , and let\u2019s see how it will go , it\u2019s only just starting .\ndetailing four narratives from china , india , scotland , and tunisia \u2013 including insights from venerable filmmakers and ordinary moviegoers \u2013 that combine to ( as the austin film festival describes ) \u201ctell the global story of cinema and how it affects our everyday lives . \u201d the film was picked up earlier this year for distribution in all territories by tricoast worldwide in los angeles .\n\u201cthis collection of essays offers not only an in - depth study of where modes of reception are situated within the contemporary context , but also a detailed trajectory of the digital innovation that has already taken place \u2013 an aspect often sidelined by theoretical projection . in removing futuristic speculation from the discussion and replacing it with an interrogation predicated on empirical research to date , digital disruption : cinema moves online provides the global context and situational thinking that has , until now , largely been absent in broader debates surrounding audience viewing practices and dominant or progressive modes of cinema reception . in highlighting a cyclical chain of supply and demand , digital disruption examines the relationship between conglomerates and individuals , revealing a fluidity between the two that dispels myths of tension . \u201d\nhuman is a universal project that sets out to reach the widest possible number of spectators . more than just a film , human strengthens our social ties by promoting values such as living together , love , tolerance , and resilience . through its multicultural nature , human is ideally positioned to roll out in every country , in both commercial and non - commercial circuits . after the success of its global launch at the un general assembly in new york and the venice film festival in september 2015 , human has been screened in over 60 countries on five continents . contact : lara @ urltoken the goodplanet teams is devoted to effectively coordinate non - commercial events and partners with local distributors .\nv . p . - b . : france is really a unique market , in the way that you can release certain movies in the theater \u2014 maybe too many nowadays because of too many releases and too many distributors ; we could release different titles in the theater that would never be released in the us or the uk . because i do believe there is a more important audience you could reach , so the main difficulty nowadays is to reach it , but there is at the outset a larger potential audience , and certainly more theaters also , not only in paris but also in all the rest of france , in small , medium , or big cities that will be able to show a re - release , a revival , among their weekly program , beside new titles . i know the uk less \u2014 i haven\u2019t had experience there \u2014 but for the us , there is a cinephilia and possibility , but for sure there are less places you can go . the two main cities are new york and la , and i would say new york first . after , despite the fact that almost each important city in the us has its own arthouse theater , it means you can show from time to time more revival films ; nevertheless , in the long term there are less possibilities for showing revival titles . but there is a market , nevertheless .\nthis is it ! the marquee event of the camp , trash , filth \u2013 john waters visits regina . join us at westminster united church for an evening of pure trashy delight as we start with a cocktail hour in the pink flamingo lounge , followed by big organ recital of top 40 hits \u2013 all of which is meant to loosen you up and get you in the mood for this filthy world presentation by our guest of honour , john waters !\nhuge losses are involved in this abandonment of cultural identity , losses that are themselves the result of all the economic and political failures of postcolonial nigeria . when the younger generation imagines the good life , they import the forms . characters in these films do a good deal of coming from and going to america and europe . but the situation is not as bleak or as clear as this description suggests . an older , colonial sense of inferiority never appears : it is a multicultural world to which the characters assimilate , african - american culture rather than american culture being the standard point of reference and bridge ; signifiers of african pride and identity come frequently and naturally amidst the gucci sunglasses and suvs . the viewers are preferring to watch a nigerian film rather than an american one , after all , just as the hip hop music on the radio is predominantly by nigerian bands , in nigerian pidgin , and standup comedy ( another popular contemporary form ) is american in format but pidgin in expression . there is enormous poverty in nigeria , but also enormous wealth\u2014plenty of resources with which to construct a walled - off personal happiness , or so the videos imagine .\nmr . schamus disputes the contention that the film is not a hit with asian audiences . ' ' it would have been massively profitable and successful even if it had never been released in the west , ' ' he said .\nc . k . : limited editions do spur people to investigate the release . for example , when masters of cinema did the late mizoguchi box set with the final eight films ( or almost final eight ; we didn\u2019t have musashino - fujin or shin hei - ke monogatari ) , there were 3000 units , with the 300 - page book , and it sold out quickly .\nnollywood films occasionally get screened in theaters abroad on special occasions organized by the filmmaker in conjunction with an african expatriate community , but they never get into the regular theatrical distribution system . the only nollywood film available on dvd in the united states from one of the companies that specialize in african cinema is kelani\u2019s thunderbolt , from california newsreel . there is no mechanism for a library to acquire a study collection of nollywood films . meanwhile , in a separate dimension , an enormous system exits to distribute nollywood and ghanaian films in the us : hundreds of shops , dozens of internet sites that sell or stream them , thousands of films posted to youtube by fans . most of the films moving through this system are pirated ; in some cases , the producer will sell the rights to an american distributor for a small sum , for lack of a better alternative .\nv . p . - b . : i do believe so . there\u2019s already a lot of theaters in la , but according to the fact that the city is so huge , not all the potential districts have an arthouse theater . everything is split all over la , but i do believe there could be places for more arthouse and revival theaters in some districts , because i believe you don\u2019t have the equivalent of new york\u2019s film forum in la , for example .\ndigital disruption : cinema moves on - line helps to make sense of what has happened in the short but turbulent history of on - line distribution . it provides a realistic assessment of the genuine and not - so - promising methods that have been tried to address the disruptions that moving from \u2018analogue dollars\u2019 to \u2018digital cents\u2019 has provoked in the film industry . paying close attention to how the majors have dealt with the challenges \u2013 often unsuccessfully \u2013 it focuses as much attention on innovations and practices outside the mainstream . throughout , it is alive to , and showcases , important entrepreneurial innovations such as mubi , jaman , withoutabox and imdb .\nbut the market is difficult to compare . because as i was saying previously , in france you have three to four re - releases every week , plus all the cin\u00e9math\u00e8ques , the festivals , and so on , so it\u2019s a lot .\nthe critical issue , then , is thrown back from the familiar paranoid analysis of the influence of foreigners on african film production to the question of what nigerians want to see and why . unless we simply buy into the notion of \u201cfalse consciousness , \u201d this is complicated . clearly one can find abundant evidence of the power over nollywood\u2019s imagination of the globally hegemonic american mass media imagery , even when detached from structures of command and control\u2014the situation is a nice illustration , in fact , of gramsci\u2019s distinction between hegemony and domination . but things may not be as straightforward as they seem : for instance , foreign commodities , behaviors , and accents function as trophies within deeply rooted african traditions of status assertion and in longstanding \u201cstrategies of extraversion\u201d ( bayart ) .\nc . k . : i\u2019d like to talk a bit about la : the topography of los angeles , the logistics of getting from one theater to another in terms of how spread out the city is , the flavor of the neighborhoods , etc .\nthe four newcomers who hog most of the screen time look earnest and fresh . at least a couple of them will be in the big league if they are consistent enough . basil is one of them . sanjeev has an uncanny resemblance to siddharth bharathan .\none point : as vod is more developed in the us , compared to france \u2014 even though there are a lot of things happening in france , and netflix arrived one year ago , for example , and they\u2019re announcing projects \u2014 \u201cmain vod\u201d ( which is buying or renting a movie ) is really almost nothing for arthouse movies and , more especially , revivals . it looks to me that we\u2019re more [ involved currently in vod with the aspects of ] a rental business , when the rental of movies was big , whether in france or the us , and it looks almost essentially like the same kind of movies that were being rented then as are being rented nowadays on vod . and revivals and classics , unless very specific titles , very few of them , were not working as rentals\u2026"]}

popular call of cthulhu roll playing game .\nwhile the spanish produced \u201chorror express\u201d is a film that started out as a guilty pleasure , that spark of enjoyment has since grown into appreciating it as true classic of the early 70s . true horror fans will need little to take a ride on the \u201chorror express\u201d beyond the colorful blu - ray box art and the towering names of christopher lee , peter cushing , and telly savalas . viewers who delve deeper into this hammer studios copycat effort , however , will find a treasure trove of reasons to put this unfortunately obscure film on their list of favorites from the period .\nspoiler warning . if you are intending to play an investigator entering the world of the orient express , read no further .\n. it ' s been a long , long wait indeed for horror fans , but this one was definitely worth it .\na 1972 movie that starred horror favorites , christopher lee and peter cushing , as well as telly savalas of kojak fame , horror express is a decidedly unusual production . what starts out as a regular movie of the monster kind quickly mutates into a story involving mysterious deaths ; the preserved body of an ancient , bigfoot - like humanoid , a disembodied alien , and finally , zombies .\nis a spanish horror production starring peter cushing and christopher lee , meaning it has a lot of elements that should make horror fans geek out . perhaps not surprisingly , all of those elements come together to form a cool little alien / creature feature , and i mean that in every sense of the word . situated on a trans - siberian express in the dead of winter , this is a chilly euro - horror that\u00eds probably given people the wrong impression since it ' s been found on public domain sets for years .\nconsidering how ravenous it is , the answer is obvious , though the characters do come up with an interesting method of dispatch . before that moment comes , though , horror express has a great climax that\u00eds reminiscent of a zombie flick . director eugenio martin didn\u00edt dabble in horror a whole lot , but he certainly could have if this is any indication . featuring a nice mix of gore and atmosphere ,\nwe provide reviews and recommendations for all things horror . we are particularly fond of 80s , foreign , independent , cult and b horror movies . please use the menu on the top left of the screen to view our archives or to learn more about us .\nas for pacing , horror express is very effectively executed : all of the exposition is quite natural and is revealed along the way rather than tacked on at an inappropriate time . this aids the film in developing a fast pace that keeps the viewer engaged for the duration .\nwhether you ' re a veteran that wants to relive the adventure of your youth , or a new comer , who wants to finally get their badge of honor for making it through this adventure to tell the tale - - you should check out the new horror on the orient express .\nhandled properly , a movie featuring such a wide and varied body of themes might work . unfortunately , horror express is not quite the creature - feature it could have been . that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s awful , but it\u2019s certainly not great either . rather , it languishes in some middle realm of a less than satisfying kind .\nso , if you ' re a veteran gamer like me , who struggled to keep his copy in good condition for the past 20 - something years , the 2nd edition of horror on the orient express is a fine investment . the set is sturdier , and of higher quality , but with the same great story you remember .\nediting , and text displayed like this , is by mike lay . it is a ( long ) discussion of the\nhorror on the orient express\ncampaign and how it might be improved . any comments , criticisms and plaudits should be directed mike lay . if you do use this page , please tell me how it pans out !\nugh , while the author christopher challis might be a texan , rare horror is located in freezing alberta right there along with you , dan . glad you liked the review !\nthis spanish production is one of the most entertaining and well - plotted horror films of the 1970s , boasts great acting , plenty of gruesome gore and % u2014best yet % u2014telly savalas .\nat first glance , horror express seems a fairly typical creature feature , where the filmmakers keep the beastie out of sight as long as possibly , primarily to cover up the subpar makeup and effects work . but , if nothing else , horror express cannot be faulted for playing it safe . come to find out that some disembodied alien energy force has possessed link , taking over what skills and intellect its cro - magnon brainpan allowed it , forcing it to kill in order to avail itself of more evolved capabilities . and we can say \u201cevolution\u201d in mixed company here , since the film rather charmingly includes a scene where lee espouses the virtues of darwin\u2019s theory in typical brusque , stiff - upper - lipped fashion , right before slicing into an eyeball to reveal the images trapped within its viscous fluid . with these shades of un chien andalou , you might suspect a subterranean surrealist agenda at work , burrowing mole - like beneath the silly surfaces of the film , but you\u2019d be sorely mistaken . the best that can be said for horror express is that it doesn\u2019t take itself at all seriously , and it isn\u2019t too proud to steal outright what other films politely borrow .\nnowadays , there are really only two things to be concerned about when traveling by train : lateness , and sitting too close to the stubbly guy who smells like urine and crazy . compare that with two movie legends , a homicidal caveman and a bat - poopy insane telly savalas , and you ' ll see that the horror express is a ninety - minute ride not to be missed .\n\u201chorror express\u201d is a sadly forgotten video gem that i can\u2019t recommend enough \u2013 classic performances by icons lee and cushing , with savalas entertainingly playing himself as always , and a plot that is a clear forerunner to john carpenter\u2019s classic \u201cthe thing\u201d , taking the best of its howard hawks precursor while leaving the 50s cheese on the cutting room floor . the english language track is dubbed , but luckily our three main stars did their own voice recordings so it\u2019s barely noticeable . unfortunately , there are no english opening or end titles , but the film doesn\u2019t suffer because of it . \u201chorror express\u201d is not a perfect film , but i\u2019m not ashamed to admit it\u2019s one of the movies that i most often let play on my television as i fall asleep . as bizarre as it might sound , there is great tranquility to be found lying comfortably on my bed while lee and cushing deliver classic dialogue . if you haven\u2019t seen \u201chorror express , \u201d pick up a copy of the blu - ray by severin and let yourself fall in love with it like i have . you won\u2019t regret it . you might just find yourself putting it on late at night and letting it run as sleep takes hold .\na british / spanish horror film from the year 1972 , starring peter cushing , christopher lee and telly savalas . it is loosely based on the novella who goes there by john w . campbell .\nmy group consisted of five players , all quite experienced . in general they rated\nhorror\nas one of the best campaigns they had played - not the best , but one of the best . . .\na fossil of an ape man is discovered in the mountains of manchuria by a british expedition . the fossil is taken to trans - siberian express , where the alien creature within it awakens , and starts causing havoc onboard the train .\nincidentally , don ' t mistake this page for pointless criticism . i like\nhorror\n- i have run it twice , and i think it is a classy campaign . i would not bother otherwise . . .\nis one of the most unusual and memorable outings for frequent screen pair peter cushing and christopher lee , whose friendly antagonism here makes for a memorable team indeed . the very definition of both a great popcorn movie and a\nthinking man ' s\nhorror / sci - fi opus , this gem actually possesses the ability to cross over and appeal far beyond die hard fans of european horror . directed with a skillful and stylish hand by eugenio martin (\ndespite its low budget , \u201chorror express\u201d is quite atmospheric and impressive from a production standpoint due to it being shot cheaply in spain , with the train comprising the majority of it\u2019s locations . wonderful early 20th century costumes are worthy of note , not to mention the star power of lee , cushing , and savalas . while genre fans are used to seeing cushing / lee pairings , i would argue this picture is their best pairing . allies rather than enemies this time around , watching two brilliant horror icons play off each other in this manner is a rare treat . fans will know of course that off - screen , lee and cushing were the best of friends , one of the reasons why they worked together so often . what is less well known is that \u201chorror express\u201d is the first film that cushing made after the death of his beloved wife , and as such , he almost backed out of the production last minute , but was convinced to go through with it by his great friend lee . watching with this in mind , there are some genuinely touching moments between the two , where lee\u2019s support for his friend comes through in what was the most difficult time of his life .\nin 1906 , on a train racing through siberia , christopher lee and peter cushing are engulfed in nightmare when a frozen missing link comes to life . also known as\np\u00e1nico en el transiberiano\n/\npanic on the trans - siberian express\nhorror express has a lot working in its favor . but one thing that always disturbs me is that in the scenes where the audience can see out the window it is obvious that the train is in a stationary position . while it\u2019s typical to shoot on a soundstage , rather than a moving train , it still would have been nice to see obvious errors like that corrected . the fact that the train isn\u2019t moving is so blatantly obvious that it proves a bit of a distraction .\ni absolutely love this film . saw it as a kid on tv and it freaked me out that first time , but i had to see it again . i distinctly recall the channel that showed it would run it on a semi - regular basis to the point where there was some sporting event rained out and during the delay , horror express popped up like a crazy babysittin\u2019 relative . thanks for making me grin like a clown who\u2019s found a discount on slightly used rubber chickens !\nthe orient express is not a regular coc campaign , it relies heavily on the weird european feel to make it different from other campaigns . it is also too linear and has too few red herrings . nothing that cannot be fixed , however . . .\nhorror express is a classic 1970s creature feature . it pits christopher lee and peter cushing against an evil entity of unknown origins . the duo balances one another out quite nicely . it\u2019s always a pleasure to see them teamed up and this is no exception . there\u2019s plenty of witty dialogue to be found in the film\u2019s 90 - minute runtime . for example : when the train inspector suggests that lee or cushing might be the monster , cushing\u2019s character responds by saying , \u201cmonster ? we are british , you know ? \u201d\nis a delightful afternoon horror movie . certainly , the bleeding eye imagery is memorable , the cold atmosphere palpable and the entire effort moves along at a clip pace . sure the plot is convoluted as hell - but this is a ride you never mind taking .\nthis is a great film , brilliant review as well . watched this recently , still one of my fave horror films . peter cushing , christopher lee , and telly savalas are great in this . great period setting , make up effects , and costumes as well .\nan english anthropologist has discovered a frozen monster in the frozen wastes of manchuria which he believes may be the missing link . he brings the creature back to europe aboard a trans -

- and every player agrees that it ' s worth it in the end . the original adventure was published in 1991 , and came in a boxed set that contained maps , game pieces , a poster , several books , and player handouts . the new edition contains the same intricate adventure , and even adds some new things , such as a prequel adventure set in the gaslight era ( 1890 ' s ) , and a modern - day sequel adventure .\nthe result ? a fun , hybrid horror / science fiction flick . . . directed with flair by eugenio martin and with a script by arnaud d ' usseau and julian halevy that is so outrageous , you can ' t help but be entertained . with those two classy stars on board , along with telly savalas camping it up . . . who cares ?\ntyler doupe ' is the managing editor at wicked horror . he has previously penned for fangoria mag , rue morgue mag , fearnet , fandango , contv , ranker , shock till you drop , chillertv , comingsoon , and more . he lives with his partner , his dog , and cat hat . follow him on twitter @ funwithhorror and connect with him on facebook .\nchristopher challis is an army veteran of seven years who is a recipient of the bronze star medal , as well as the combat action badge , and has served in operation iraqi freedom in iraq and operation enduring freedom in afghanistan . prior to his military service , christopher owned the largest independently owned video rental and sales store in western pennsylvania that specialized in rare horror and science fiction films . in addition , he is a collector and expert in the field of horror and sci -

the keeper knows where his players are going next , and this reduces the amount of preparation required for a session . the downside to this is that , without some forethought , the players can completely derail the story by refusing to toe the line and use the train . hopefully , between us , peter and i will help keepers survive the actions of their players . . . . .\nhowever , what makes the film so charming is cushing and lee\u2019s heartfelt chemistry . in this case , they both play good guys\u2014rival paleontologists who reluctantly join forces to battle an ancient evil . the film even throws in the occasional cheeky nod to the actors\u2019 hammer horror legacy . for instance , when a fellow passenger insinuates that cushing might actually be the film\u2019s demonic creature , he\u2019s utterly scandalized : \u201cmonsters ? we\u2019re british , you know ! \u201d\nand production was already in progress when cushing arrived in spain to tell bernard gordon that he felt unable to commit to the project as he was still in deep mourning for his wife who had recently died . however , christopher lee , a close friend of cushing , assured the producer and director that he would handle the situation and obviously coaxed his fellow co - star into making the movie to everyone ' s relief . the teaming of the two iconic hammer horror actors gives\nbearing in mind that horror express remains in the public domain , as well as severin ' s claims to have gone back to original 35mm negatives for their remaster , it has to be said that the blu - ray presentation is a very mixed bag . on the one hand , the film looks as good as it probably ever will . on the other , the quality ranges from decent to shabby . artifacts aplenty , flickering , color variability , scratches , and shimmer all play a predominant role , as does a bounteous assortment of compression issues . clarity , though , is fairly well defined , and color density is adequately presented . for sound , you ' ve got a choice between spanish dolby digital stereo ( without the option for subtitles , alas ) and english dolby digital mono , which effectually isn ' t a choice at all , unless you happen to speak spanish fluently . on the english - language track , hiss and high - end squawk abounds , though dialogue is usually clear enough , even with voices that were obviously dubbed .\nbig bad ensemble : the alien creature is the dominant threat and the reason for the\nhorror\npart of the title , but the cossack officer captain kazan does manage to become something more than a mere asshole victim to the creature by menacing the passengers and expressing his desire for a scapegoat by good ol ' cold - blooded torture . though he and his men do pull an enemy mine with the two main characters and the other passengers once they find out who the creature is , not that it helps much . . .\nopens in a remote , snow -

siberian express , saxton encounters resistance to his plan when his scientific rival , dr . wells ( peter cushing ) , boards the train and tries to view his top secret cargo . once the prehistoric carcass thaws , however , it proves to be very much alive and capable of sucking brains dry through its deadly stare , accumulating the sum intelligence of its victims . soon the creature escapes its crate through wells ' meddling and begins to systemically work its way through the car claiming new bodies as saxton and wells join forces with the other survivors to stop it .\nthis horror science - fiction thriller , a cult favorite , takes place in 1907 . professor caxton ( christopher lee ) , a fossil - hunter has discovered some sort of pre - human creature frozen in ancient manchurian ice . he is traveling to london with his find on the trans - siberian railway and is horrified to discover that his frozen man is missing , and corpses and zombies are appearing all over the train . it turns out that the frozen specimen is an alien with some unusual powers . the combined forces of professor caxton , his rival dr . wells ( peter cushing ) , and a cossack captain ( telly savalas ) are needed to save the world from this monstrous being . skillfully told , with a good dose of humor , this film also features the train which appeared a year before in nicholas and alexandra .\narcheologist sir alexander saxon ( a mustached christopher lee ) makes an ancient frozen discovery high in the himalayas . while attempting to freight his specimen across the continent and back to britain , lee encounters rival scientist dr . wells ( the great peter cushing ) . before long , mayhem and murder ensues on the train and somehow lee\u2019s ancient discovery is culprit . what follows is a cross between \u201cmurder on the orient express\u201d and \u201cthe thing from another world\u201d with a dash of \u201ckojak\u201d mixed in for good measure . i only mention the later because the legendary telly savalas shows up briefly as a russian police captain to collect his paycheck for about 15 minutes of screen time . the mystery continues to unfold , the body count rises , and the train races on while cushing and lee put their professional rivalry aside to try and stop the creature . along the way they encounter a variety of colorful characters , including a rasputin - like monk , a polish countess , and a police inspector . once the unfrozen creature\u2019s motives become clear , only one question remains : can it be stopped before the runaway train reaches civilization ?\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 -

glimpse of the fossilized being and temporarily leaves the storage room . suddenly , the creature sticks its arm out of an opening and picks the padlock open .\nthe worker returns with a light and he tries to keep the creature from escaping . however , when his eyes lock with whatever is inside the box , the man ' s eyes begin to turn white and bleed .\npjardov continues to warn people but he comes across as a lunatic . in the luxurious cabin occupied by count maryan petrovski ( georges rigaud ) and his wife , the monk notices the little dog is still upset . as the countess plays the piano , the three of them take note of an eerie melody wafting through the train .\ninspector mirov finds the crate with some screws missing . that ' s not the only thing missing . . . the baggage man is nowhere to be found .\nhe summons both dr . wells and professor saxton to the storage area , where the doctor confesses that he was curious and that he asked the missing man to take a look at the mysterious archeological discovery .\nwith strange things occurring , the inspector asks saxton to open the crate . in defiance , the professor throws the key out the window . mirov is angry and he orders konev ( jose jaspe ) , one of his officers , to break the chain and padlock with an ax .\nthe baggage man ' s body is inside .\nwhat was in there ?\nasks a shaken dr . wells . again , the professor says it was a fossil . but this time he ' s more specific .\nsomething ancient , something part ape , part man . dr . wells is beside himself .\nare you telling me that an ape that lived 2 million years ago . . . got out of that crate , killed the baggage man and put him in there . . . then locked everything up neat and tidy and got away ?\nthe answer is obvious . the inspector gives orders to find the creature and destroy it . of course , he wants it kept quiet . no one wants the passengers to panic , after all .\nthe search begins . several officers make the rounds of the compartments . one of them stumbles upon the creature and is killed . the other finds his body and the door in one of the cars open . it appears the creature has fled the moving train and jumped out into the snowy terrain .\ndr . wells dines with natasha and tries to take his mind off the fact that there is an ancient , intelligent being loose on board . the engineer , who recognizes natasha from having met her at the governor ' s palace , joins them .\nshe denies ever having seen him . dinner is served and the doctor is taken aback by the sight of a boiled fish . its eyes are completely white .\nthe inspector enters the dining room and tells dr . wells that one of his officers is dead and he would like his help with the autopsy . with the aid of miss jones , they cut open the top of the

left the room , the creature re - enters the train .\nprofessor saxton is having dinner by himself in his cabin . the countess stops by and asks about his missing\nbox of bones .\nthat box of bones

breaks free and the inspector arrives just in time to shoot the ancient man . but not before he ' s gazed into the fiery red eye of his target and is nearly killed himself .\nprofessor saxton checks in on inspector mirov and asks about natasha . the engineer finally recalled that she was an international spy . saxton says that he and wells performed an autopsy on her . . . and her brain was completely smooth and erased of all memory , like the other victim .\nthe professor tells him his theory about the creature stealing memories from its victims . in short , it absorbed their brains through their eyes . hence , this explains how the creature was able to pick the lock in the first place after killing the thief at the station . . . and its odd interest in the countess ' s valuable after strangling natasha .\ninspector mirov questions the count and countess . count petrovski reveals that he has invented a steel that is\nharder than a diamond .\nthat is what natasha was looking for and what spies from several countries are after .\nthe formula , he says , is safe in his head . the countess asks about natasha and is told that both she and the creature are dead .\nthe beast is

shots inexplicably punctuate the film for about three seconds , any shot that could have some impact it robbed by the editing which feels frenetic and messy .\nindigenous detective jay swan arrives in the frontier mining town of \u201cgoldstone\u201d on a missing persons enquiry . what seems like a simple \u201clight duties\u201d investigation soon opens into a web of crime and corruption implicating the local mayor , mining boss and aboriginal land council .\ngoldstone is a sequel to mystery road , and one of the reasons why i even watched mystery road in a first place . i mean , i was planing to watch mystery road , eventually . but i really liked the trailer for goldstone and wanted to watch it soon then later , and since it was a sequel to mystery road , i naturally watched that one first . although , with the exception of the main character and similar tone , these two movies are not really connected in any other way . well . . . same as mystery road , goldstone is another atmospheric and dirty australian noir - western thriller about the people from dry and desolate australian outback , place where the time has stopped . this time , indigenous detective jay swan arrives\u2026\nas well as being able to watch goldstone , starring aaron pedersen as indigenous detective jay swan , which was largely filmed around the tiny town of middleton , west of winton , audiences were treated to the gladstone - filmed rugby league movie , broke .\nmovies highlighting corrupt mining practices and rugby league players tossed on the scrap heap \u2013 both talking points in australian society today \u2013 played to rapturous audiences at the third annual vision splendid film festival at winton on the weekend .\nthere were plenty of people on hand to celebrate the opening night of the vision splendid film festival , including vivienne johnson , trevor love , festival director mark melrose , member for mount isa rob katter and daisy hatfield .\nlocal mp rob katter was also present on the opening night , saying winton\u2019s welcoming ways were a large part of the reason the film industry was attracted to the region and contributing to the success of the fledgling festival .\nfaults and all , goldstone dramatises some unpalatable themes with power and clarity , and seems likely to be remembered as one of the key australian films of its era . perhaps swan ' s next adventure should take the form of a tv miniseries along the lines of jane campion ' s top of the lake ( which goldstone resembles in some respects , and not just because both co - star wenham ) . this would allow sen to use an ensemble cast to its full potential and explore his themes in a more detailed , less diagrammatic way .\nivan sen\u2019s 2013 feature mystery road introduced jay swan , an aboriginal detective investigating the murder of an aboriginal girl found with her throat slit on the side of a highway . returning to his hometown after a stint in the city , swan was side - eyed by the locals and patronized by his white colleagues , but still managed to clean house . the director returns to that time - honored set - up in goldstone , opening this year\u2019s sydney film festival , though his hero is barely recognizable .\nby the end of the weekend , attendance numbers at winton\u2019s vision splendid third annual film festival were 35 per cent up on last year\u2019s figures , confirming for organisers and backers that they were building a well - recognised brand .\nin the series to date there are constant references to wild dogs on the fringes of the town in mystery road and goldstone . where the dogs added another layer to the enigma of mystery road , it feels as if pedersen\u2019s jay has become the embodiment of that wild dog .\npedersen\u2019s swan is impossibly good . it\u2019s almost hard to even reconcile how we are looking at the same character from mystery road because he is so different in the opening stanzas of the film . once you get a sense of what has happened between mystery road and goldstone you begin to fathom his actions as misguided coping mechanisms . it\u2019s a sensation , it\u2019s heartbreaking , it\u2019s subtle , it\u2019s engrossing . you\u2019re hanging on every gesture , on every word , on every movement , and sen\u2019s lens is a sponge .\nindeed , goldstone the town makes dungatar , in last year ' s the dressmaker , look like an attractive holiday destination . it ' s hardly a town at all , just a collection of demountables and shacks , filmed by sen in wide shots that emphasise their isolation in the landscape .\ntwo -

colonial exploitation . aboriginals \u201ccivilised\u201d in western clothing ; chinese migrants being used as cheap labour . the red dirt blankets the foundations of modern australian civilisation : gold , exploitation and invasion . goldstone is the battleground for australia\u2019s soul .\nivan sen shoots goldstone exquisitely . the epic landscape that dwarfs you ; you can\u2019t help but feel like there is an eternity between locations ; like the cars are just insects stirring up these dirt corridors . he shoots so meticulously , emphasising the scope and isolation , and at no point in this desolate wasteland do you feel like it\u2019s not alive . every frame is just rippling with something and you can\u2019t help but feel like the dust has settled over the past . stirring up that dust is uncovering not only the seedy underbelly of what is actually happening in goldstone but what is happening in contemporary australia .\nswan visits goldstone to track down the whereabouts of a missing young chinese woman . in the first scene he is behind the wheel and pissed as a fart . the horse swan rides into town on is the back of a divvy van , after being apprehended by young local cop josh ( alex russell ) .\ngoldstone opens with a series of 19th century photographs from rural australia which show the tripartite racial structure of the time . one of those racial groups is chinese ( in magnificent cultural dress replete with hair in single plaid to the waist ) so they were likely taken during the goldrush . ivan sen moves his camera over and into the photos , bringing them to life with extra dimension as we see the faces of its white miners and blackfella lackies , their aboriginal children dressed uncomfortably in victorian vestments whilst asian faces look out from the shopfronts and doorways of their laundries and boarding houses . it ' s a haunting prefiguration of the three cultural forces at play as goldstone settles into its contemporary setting . \u2026\ntwo -

baked , hot , gluggy glaze popularised after 1971\u2019s wake in fright . goldstone\u2019s colour grading is sharp and crisp , its visual makeup \u2013 replete with seamlessly integrated aerial drone footage \u2013 grandiose , but wired in small details .\nour family doesn ' t go to the movies until we go online and check out your assessment of a given film . i think this is the best christian media review website that i ' ve found , and i recommend it to my family and friends . keep up the good work !\nthere ' s deep social commentary in goldstone . mainly , focusing on the treatment of the aboriginal people . greed and the desire for power at all cost are other themes , too . i love how jay is an aboriginal policeman . you know , a black man in a white man ' s world . we also have a white cop , and his moral code is put\u2026\nthe story twines together the themes of exploitation versus care , of corruption versus honesty and of the past versus the present . indeed , the film begins with a montage of archival black and white photos from goldfields in the 19th century , featuring aborigines , asians and whites , to frame the story within the reach of the past .\nspot on . not since \u201cwake in fright\u201d has a film so powerfully captured a key part of the underbelly of the australian psyche and combined it with such a strong sense of place . . pedersen\u2019s return to his \u201ccountry\u201d is a brilliant counterpoint to the outback oz culture depicted . all this and a well told great yarn as well !\non second watch the flaws stand out more -

up to mystery road . this is a solid austrailian western / neo - noir film . interesting characters , beautiful cinematography , and some tight action scenes . without giving anything away , there is a great shootout , that is filmed in a very realistic manner . bullets and shells penetrate aluminum siding and vehicles like you would expect in a real gunfight . this added such an enjoyable degree of tension . highly recommended .\nthis superior sequel to mystery road brings back the laconic aboriginal police detective hero jay swan ( aaron pedersen ) , this time investigating a disappearance in a remote queensland mining town . pedersen ' s performance in the earlier film was stone - faced to a fault , but life hasn ' t been kind to swan over the last few years : his hair has lengthened , his once neatly - trimmed beard is ragged and greying at the edges .\nit ' s a setting australians will recognise from the movies if not from direct experience \u2013 and like the dressmaker , the film is so packed with familiar faces it becomes an echo chamber , as if sen were holding a dialogue with many precursors at once . jacki weaver essentially reprises her crime matriarch role in animal kingdom as the town mayor , who wears bright red lipstick , bakes apple pies and delivers thinly - veiled threats with a motherly simper .\nas the stakes inevitably increase and jay and josh\u2019s frenemy relationship leads to a degree of collaboration \u2013 the former goading the latter for allowing awful things to happen on his watch \u2013 sen dishes out action with unerring patience . by the time a car chase scene arrives , it has the weight of an already great film behind it . there\u2019s a shoot - out too , but every shot matters and every bullet counts ; your body can almost register the impact .\nas unruly , headstrong cops go , jay swan ( aaron pedersen ) is up there with the best of them , but he ' s no dirty harry . hard drinking harry , maybe , sloshed when we meet him as he drives towards goldstone and his destiny , pulled over by the young smalltown cop , josh ( alex russell ) and put on the wire bed in the lock up to sober up . pedersen ' s unkempt hair , bleary eyes and speechless stupor belie his steadfast determination to clear up the case of missing mei . as we would hope . . .\nit doesn ' t take long for swan to sniff out various scandals that eventually seem like facets of the one problem : the trafficking of asian women , a deal being rushed through to expand the mine , the smuggling of grog into a supposedly dry community . though the villains are obvious from the start , the film is not about pinning the blame on individuals but about sketching a diagram \u2013 realistic in outline if not in its pulpy details \u2013 that tells us something about australian society as a whole .\ni found this sequel superior to the first , mystery road , but i ' m not really sure why . . . perhaps i liked the development of the additional law man in the isolated , outback town with a dark secret turning goldstone into a quasi buddy - movie about two men unsure whether or not they can trust the other in their world of deceit . i ' m not overly familiar with either of the two male stars but jackie weaver co - stars as another wicked women . . . a role she mastered in her ( first ) oscar -

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

woop - woop place , including the mayor , maureen ( jacki weaver , again in frozen - smile stink - eye mode ) , have some kind of racket going on . exactly what it involves will be revealed in time . suffice to say the last thing they want is a brave outsider upsetting their ecosystem of corruption .\naaron pedersen , \u2018weeping pathos from his pores\u2019 , and jacki weaver in \u2018frozen -

oriented affair . sen paints a picture of a viciously sexist society where women , in particular sex workers , are stripped of their rights and their identities , and traded like commodities .\nwhen maureen visits josh at the pub , wielding a freshly baked cake , you can tell by the serpentine hiss in weaver\u2019s voice that he ought to pay attention . a new mine - expansion project is under way , she explains , and it\u2019s worth serious bucks \u2013 hundreds of millions of dollars . there\u2019s a slight complication though : it requires \u201cblackfella approval\u201d .\nswan is the recipient of numerous lines like \u201ckeep your head down\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t rock the boat\u201d , which you just know is going to have the opposite effect .\nsen\u2019s environmental messages arrive at a time when coal seam gas exploration is a key election issue ; meanwhile , corruption allegations involving mining companies and land councils make it clear the story cannot be brushed aside as mere fiction .\nopening images of sepia - toned photographs from the gold rush are crucial . the social and political commentaries underpinning sen\u2019s story paint a picture of a nation that has always , since settlement , prioritised money over land , and has never understood \u2013 as midnight oil might have put it ( before its lead singer became part of the problem ) \u2013 something as precious as a hole in the ground .\nwhen josh suggests to jay there is no point rebelling , because when the dust settles the dirt of corruption will remain , jay takes solace in his belief that at least the dirt will be a little thinner .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\naaron pedersen , alex russell , jacki weaver , cheng pei -

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

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

intense portrait by the director led the film to win an array of accolades on national as well as international level !\na theater artist for 33 years , virendra worked with and got guidance from several indian theater legends like habib tanveer , b . v . karanth , m . k . raina and likes . with over 400 shows of 40 different plays in his repertoire , virendra also worked in some films and television serials . his embodiment of ruthless patwari in kalichaat gave life to this menacing character .\nscreenplay and dialogues are written by dr sonal , founding member of the ngo . vibhavari , an established non - profit organisation working on water crisis and farmers and landless workers ' rights for the last two decades , helped influence sudhanshu ' s venture . dr sonal ' s experience directly dealing with the people of rural india gave ' kalichaat ' clarity and authenticity in highlighting the woes of indian farmers .\ncases of farmers committing suicide aren ' t new in india and people have constantly tried to bring their predicament to light . sudhanshu sharma brought us their story with his directorial debut ' kalichaat ' that premiered in london last week in association with asset india . the film is a sharp depiction of the plight of the farmers in india , and the perverted system that eventually pushes them into doing the inevitable .\nthe director , mr . sudhanshu sharma has keenly observed the severe misfortunes faced by the indian farmers . the whole team of kalichaat has left no stone unturned to portray each situation realistically . the poor farmers get trapped in the vicious circle of poverty . you will be mesmerized to see how a farmer strives whole day for bread and butter . it\u2019s really ironic how an innocent farmer strives hard to feed his family but ultimately gets nothing .\nthe film has recently won 4 prestigious awards at one of the biggest festivals of himachal pradesh as best film , best director , best screenplay and audience award ! ! such a great honor across the world is an evidence of perfection in sudhanshu\u2019s debut creation . released on 30th june 2016 , the gleaming ladder of success of kalichaat has been continually shining with global stars and with such a great motive ; we wish a lot more to come on its way !\nis a realistic creation by sudhanshu and dramatized by the people living in the malwa region . each situation in the film has been portrayed so originally that you will automatically get immersed . the film has received many prestigious laurels on national and international levels such as best film , best screenplay and audience choice award in free spirit film festival , best director award in haryana international film festival , etc . kalichaat has been screened in various honorable festivals organized by the government agencies as well as private teams .\nin today\u2019s era of rising corruption and mounting inflation , farmers are one of the most deprived flocks of society . especially , in the nimar - malwa region of madhya pradesh , farmers are the most cursed groups who struggle day and night in the quest for a better life but ultimately , it gets worsened to the highest extent . the urge to address this issue in a more coherent manner led a writer , philosopher and director sudhanshu sharma to create his first debut \u2018 kalichaat \u2019 that signifies nothing but the heap of troubles faced by the poor indian farmers .\nmovie kalichaat is about a farmer who becomes trapped by administration , politicians and religion . the story of movie revolves around a farmer sitaram of western madhya pradesh , who wants to irrigate his 5 bigha land . the film also depicts corrupt patwari , bank officials and other officials who are insensitive and inhuman . about 70 minute long , the film was shot at village satwas of dewas district . the movie has been directed by sudhanshu sharma while music of the movie is by sanjeev kohli . local singer kaluram bamniya added melody to songs of movie with his local malwi dialect .\nthe lead of the film , sitaram owns a land passed on by his father . struggling from severe water crisis , one day , he decides to dig well in the hope of getting ample amount of water . he begins hitting the mattock and suddenly , a huge black rock ( kalichaat ) comes in contact with it . all his hopes turn into despair . he then decides to approach local authorities for digging a tube well but they deny saying that documents are required to fulfill his request . somehow , he collects everything but in vain ; he gradually gets trapped in the vicious circle of loan sharks , religious gurus and bureaucrats that reap nothing but desperation .\ntalking about his next move , he said ,\neven before we began work on ' kalichaat ' , team pip has been working on a dream project of mine . it is a movie on badminton , and will be made with known actors and a budget far exceeding this one . it is tentatively named ' love - all ' , and we all have worked really hard on it . it has all the elements of cinemar for larger audience , while with a strong social message about the condition of sports in this nation of 1 billion plus . however , the financial demands of this project are much bigger requiring outside investments from interested parties . some have already chipped in after the brief on the project , still , there is scope for a collaboration .\nthe story revolves around sitaram , a farmer like many other in central india , with less than limited means . trying hard to meet ends and provide for his family the basics of life . the problem , repeatedly failing monsoon , the lifeline of indian farmers , making his land yield nothing but weed despite him doing all he can . his family of 5 , including his wife , two sons , and a daughter suffers along .\nin this state of despair , the showering water coming out of a tubewell drilling at his village makes him wonder why can ' t he have one at his land . a hope for him , perceived a gamble by many , including his wife . again the seemingly never ending tryst authorities , loan sharks , and religious gurus , while keeping his family hopeful for a better future , begins . pledging the very land he wanted water for , tubewell drilling starts . one after another , attempts fail , land shrinks and hopes die . what ' s left is a question on our conscience as a society and as a system , as to why we let the actual breadwinner die in pursuit of a better life .\nthe screen play and dialogues are written by dr . sonal who is founder member of vibhavari and the work to upift the social status of these farmers and other villagers has been the motto of her life . sonal is a poetess at her heart and has published many heartfelt poems in her collection \u2013\u2018pata nahi\u2019 .\nas dr . sunil and sonal had been working for around two decades with the people of this region , the story and dialogues has a clear appearance of the dialect and context of the region . the film depicts the actual scenario of rural india and the woes and troubles of indian farmer and his family members .\na poet , writer and philosopher , sudhanshu ' s work remained mostly for personal audience ' til now , partly due to his choice of keeping it that way and partly due to professional commitments . nevertheless , his work as a poet and writer earned him rich accolades in various formal and informal literary circles of madhya pradesh . a formal collection of his short stories and poems is in print for unveiling in very near future .\nsudhanshu ' s professional responsibilities as an entrepreneur demanded him to conceptualize , write , produce , and provide creative guidance for close to 150 commercial productions , mostly for indian television .\nkaluram bamania is a celebrated regional folk singer , who is known for his kabir -

day han solo seemed a weird call until guardians of the galaxy became a hit . trailers have shown off cumberbatch\u2019s wit as well as his kung fu skills , and you wouldn\u2019t bet against marvel continuing the successful expansion of its \u201cuniverse\u201d .\nthe man with a cloak sets up its mystery from the opening seconds\u2013we see a darkened city street , and a title card informs us that the setting is new york city in 1848 . another title card appears to loosely set up the plot , stating : \u201cin the lives of all men there are moments of mystery\u2013for man often years , and sometimes chooses , to wander alone and nameless . this is the tale of such a wanderer , once little known and less respected , whose real name later became immortal . \u201d\nand that , for me , is the biggest problem with the man with a cloak . the movie relies so heavily on trying to set up this big surprise ending that , when it doesn\u2019t pay off , it leaves you with a sense of \u201chuh ? \u201d besides , for many viewers\u2013even those with only a rudimentary familiarity with the real -

a conclusion , by the way , that is a very pat , firm , almost disney - style ending that nearly betrays the entire tale . it ' s a frustrating read because all the parts are there for a truly great read with some really interesting elements , but basically only a third of the story is really truly worth the time or effort , leading to a supremely disappointing story . of course , as is typical , i appear to be in the stark minority on this . people seem to overwhelmingly love this book , from the setting to the characters to the tale itself . as for me , while serafina is an engaging enough heroine , she deserves a much better story than this , and middle grade readers who are looking for a creepy story to keep them up at nights deserve something that ' s much more substantial . i don ' t know if i missed something significant here or what , but this didn ' t do it for me at all .\nin the books , ryman was the frey that jaime struck across the face to teach him a lesson about not making idle threats : the tv version condensed this with black walder rivers . as seen in the episode , jaime struck him with his golden prosthetic hand , badly injuring him and knocking him to the ground . in the books the hand is solid gold , though for unknown reasons the tv series had jaime point out that it is gold -

certainly , beautiful men abound in cinema . but i\u2019d argue that there is no direct female equivalent of the male gaze . the male gaze creates a power imbalance . it supports a patriarchal status quo , perpetuating women\u2019s real - life sexual objectification .\nthe song is unique not only in featuring as its protagonists a couple both desirous and in love , but also in offering a romantic vision of love . romance is more than the lineaments of gratified desire . romance transforms the way lovers look at the world around them ; suddenly the whole world becomes more beautiful , more vibrant , more wonderful . this is what the lovers in the song of songs experience . nature in all its glory reflects and participates in their mutual delight , and everything is felt more intensely . if we did not possess the song , we might safely assume that people in biblical times fell in love , as people do , but we would not know how they felt about it , or dreamed about it , or envisioned its possibilities .\nwhen film critics talk about the gaze , they are often referring to the \u201cmale gaze\u201d . but what does that really mean ?

in the 17th and 18th centuries , when enlightenment thinkers pioneered the idea that life was about the pursuit of happiness . they advocated marrying for love rather than wealth or status . this trend was augmented by the industrial revolution and the growth of the middle class in the 19th century , which enabled young men to select a spouse and pay for a wedding , regardless of parental approval . as people took more control of their love lives , they began to demand the right to end unhappy unions . divorce became much more commonplace .\nfilms like the piano , in the cut or marie antoinette show that cinema can use music , erotic scenes and visual aesthetics to express a feminine point of view . in doing so , such films counter the gaze , depicting women as subjects rather than objects \u201cto be looked at\u201d . whilst not replicating the male gaze exactly , they challenge the enduring dominance of masculine worldviews in film and media .\nbecause they deal with specific situations , the biblical laws give us only a partial picture of the norms and values of ancient israelite society . narrative and poetic texts often offer a different picture of sexual activity and its consequences , but by and large they reinforce the idea that male desire poses a potential threat to the preservation of male status , privilege , and hierarchy , upon which the patriarchal system is based .\nwestern lowland gorillas can be distinguished from other gorilla subspecies by their slightly smaller size , their brown - grey coats and auburn chests . they also have wider skulls with more pronounced brow ridges and smaller ears . large numbers have not protected the western lowland gorilla from decline . because of poaching and disease , the gorilla\u2019s numbers have declined by more than 60 % over the last 20 to 25 years . even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed , scientists calculate that the population would require some 75 years to recover .\nfor more on the world ' s richest and brightest entrepreneurs , follow me on twitter @ madelinepberg . got tips or word about a new billionaire ? go to urltoken\nin 1970 the report of the royal commission on the status of women in canada identified the discrimination of indigenous women under the indian act and provided the following recommendation : \u201cthe indian act be amended to allow an indian women upon marriage to a non - indian to ( a ) retain her indian status and ( b ) transmit her indian status to her children . \u201d nowhere within this recommendation did the royal commission propose that the reinstatement of a woman\u2019s indian status be lesser than her male counterpart .\nlike michal , jonathan saves david\u2019s life when saul plots to kill him ( 1 sam . 19 : 1\u20137 ; 20 : 12\u201342 ) , and , remarkably , he is even willing to yield his rightful claim to the throne to david : \u201cyou shall be king over israel and i shall be your second - in - command\u201d ( 1 sam . 23 : 17 ) . but did david love jonathan ? it all depends on how one understands his words in 2 samuel 1 : 26 , \u201cyour love for me was wonderful , more than the love of women . \u201d does this mean that david loved jonathan more than he loved women ? or should we take the comparison to mean \u201cyour [ jonathan\u2019s ] love for me is more wonderful than the love of women [ is for me ] \u201d ; in other words , is david saying that jonathan has shown him greater love than women have ? in light of all the references to jonathan\u2019s love for david , it is striking that david\u2019s love for jonathan is so shrouded in mystery . perhaps , however , jonathan\u2019s love for david is not quite so altruistic as it seems . as later events reveal , he has reason to be concerned about the fate of his progeny should david usurp the kingship .\nit was as though the museum was reading my mind - - like they heard about my lady crush on katharine woolley , knew i was hoping to learn more about her , and wanted to help me out . just weeks after i began my study of leonard woolley\u2019s work at ur , the powers that be announced a lecture intended to shed some light on the life of his glamorous wife . finally , i would get to know the lady in this amazing photo - - and she would prove more extraordinary than i could have ever imagined .\n. basically , this means that she was genetically male , with both x and y chromosomes , but that her body was insensitive to male hormones , so she appeared female . she would not have had male genitalia , and though she would have developed breasts , she would not have had proper female genitalia , either . mccall explains that women with this disorder have vaginas that range from a mere \u201cdimple\u201d to about one - third the depth of a normal vagina . sufferers do not have uteruses or menstruate , and if untreated , they find sexual intercourse very painful .\nas seductive or even just \u201cpath of least resistance\u201d that slide into darkness can be , the older i get , the more i have learned that i much , prefer the outcome when i start talking instead .\nin my own personal experience , i have found that the lonelier i am , the worse i am doing . and i say that as a guy who , in general , much prefers isolation . i am just a person who is more comfortable and often more content being by myself . i value solitude , and on the flip side , can often get agitated or uncomfortable or even just feel more scattered in social settings . in many respects , this is not really something that bothers me\u2014it\u2019s just a part of who i am .\n. it\u2019s about a woman who poses as a man in order to pursue a more exciting life than that afforded her own gender . she joins an archaeological team and makes a male best friend who becomes her partner on numerous daring exploits . toward the end of the book , her friend discovers her true identity and the two are married and live happily ever after . for those who have speculated about katharine\u2019s sexuality , the books\u2019 gender - bending heroine has certainly proved of interest . ( sadly , i\u2019ve not yet found a copy of this book , though i will keep searching . if you have any leads , please\nthe male gaze takes many forms , but can be identified by situations where female characters are controlled by , and mostly exist in terms of what they represent to , the hero . as budd boetticher , who directed classic westerns during the 1950s , put it :\nike the bower bird , most of the 42 bird - of - paradise species are found on the island of new guinea . compared to male bower birds , male birds of paradise employ an equally elaborate , though completely different , strategy for attracting mates . they rely not only on their spectacular plumage , but also on their dancing ability in their attempts to convince females to mate with them . in fact , you wouldn ' t be wrong to call birds of paradise the exotic dancers of the animal world .\nthis situation is not so surprising given the traditional status of women as the property of their fathers , brothers , or husbands and subject to their control . adultery , for example , is a crime a man commits against another man . a married woman who has sex with a man other than her husband commits adultery , but a married man who has sex with a woman other than his wife commits adultery only if that woman is another man\u2019s wife .\nthe foal is able to stand soon after birth and becomes mature at 3 to 5 years of age . at 2 years old , male foals are driven away from the herd by the stallion . the young males ban together in a herd until they find a herd of females that they can lead .\nvisual media that respond to masculine voyeurism tends to sexualise women for a male viewer . as mulvey wrote , women are characterised by their \u201cto - be - looked - at - ness\u201d in cinema . woman is \u201cspectacle\u201d , and man is \u201cthe bearer of the look\u201d .\nthe crime writer is very much nicer to meet than her books might lead one to expect . but in her writing there is sometimes a certain contempt for many of her characters pd james , queen of crime fiction , dies aged 94\nthere are more than 400 different breeds of horses . horses can be as big as 69 inches ( 175 centimeters ) from hoof to shoulder and weigh as much as 2 , 200 lbs . ( 998 kilograms ) . tiny horses exist , too . the smallest breeds of horses can be as small as 30 inches ( 76 centimeters ) from hoof to shoulder and weigh only 120 lbs . ( 54 kg ) , according to national geographic .\neastern red wolves the eastern , or \u201cred , \u201d wolf is a distinct species from its western cousin . it\u2019s smaller , for one thing ; in fact , genetic testing has shown it to be much more closely related to the coyote than it is to the gray wolf . eastern wolves\u2014not all of which are red , despite the name\u2014used to be common from maine to the gulf coast . humans made short work of them , however , and by the 1970s only a ghostly , beleaguered population numbering in the teens remained at large in a strip of coastal eastern texas .\nin 1985 bill c - 31 came into effect , as the result of the notable leadership of indigenous women like jeannette corbiere - lavell , sandra lovelace and mary two - axe early . but bill c - 31 did not fully address all forms of discrimination and human rights violations . indigenous women who\nmarried out\nand lost their status were reinstated but they were only granted a lesser category of status than indian men who never lost their status . subsequent generations of descendants of indian women were then denied status . and so the discrimination caused by the preferential treatment accorded to indian men and their descendants for more than 100 years continues today . this ongoing discrimination towards indigenous women is unacceptable , and violates the human rights of indigenous women and children .\nwith few exceptions , what is at stake in laws concerned with sexuality is the regulation of male sexuality . as erhard gerstenberger observes , \u201c [ i ] t was largely or even exclusively to men alone that sexual needs were conceded in a patriarchal age . \u201d\nfor this reason , the amendment to bill s - 3 which was proposed by independent senator marilou mcphedran and passed by the senate committee on aboriginal peoples on may 17 , 2017 is crucially important to indigenous women and their descendants . this amendment to bill s - 3 has the effect of eliminating the central distinction between the descendants of indian men and indian women born prior to april 17 , 1985 , whether they married out , or did not marry at all . this suggested amendment would remedy the discrimination that indigenous women have been struggling to end for more than 100 years .\nfilms about women\u2019s sexuality often face censorship ways that prove their subversiveness . for instance , the makers of the cooler ( 2003 ) , boys don\u2019t cry ( 1999 ) and blue valentine ( 2010 ) claim that their films were rated r or nc - 17 for depicting cunnilingus . such scenes focus on female pleasure and undermine women\u2019s \u201cto - be - looked - at - ness\u201d . censorship bodies like the motion picture association of america , however , seem to treat cunnilingus as \u201cmore graphic\u201d than other forms of sex .\none of the few places that humans can see western lowland gorillas in the wild is the dzanga - sangha protected areas in the central african republic . these opportunities for gorilla viewing are so rare , in part , because it takes three or more years of careful and patient gorilla tracking and following to habituate the animals to the presence of humans .\nsponsored products are advertisements for products sold by merchants on amazon . com . when you click on a sponsored product ad , you will be taken to an amazon detail page where you can learn more about the product and purchase it .\nthis question originally appeared on quora . ask a question , get a great answer . learn from experts and access insider knowledge . you can follow quora on twitter , facebook , and google + . more questions :\nthe intensity of ruth\u2019s devotion to naomi is routinely praised by commentators ; at the same time , her relationship to boaz is frequently romanticized . romanticizing readings find more in ruth and boaz\u2019s relationship than a kinsman\u2019s willingness to take responsibility for the welfare of two needy female relatives , or the juridical issue of redemption , or the obligation of a kinsman to perpetuate his relative\u2019s family and \u201cthe name of the dead in his inheritance\u201d ( 4 : 10 ) , or even a model for righteous living\u2014all of which have been hailed as important themes of the book of ruth . romanticizing interpretations find emotions that the text barely hints at in order to develop the love interest between ruth and boaz .\ngeorge fraser , a lonely , timid fellow , lived in a dream world of gangsters , gunfights and beautiful women . he began to imagine himself as the toughest gangster of them all - to bolster up his feelings of inferiority . but george boasted once too often - and to the wrong person . from that moment , harmless george fraser was caught up in a deadly net of intrigue and became a cat ' s paw for murder .\nhorses are very social animals . they live in groups called herds . in the wild , horses will live in herds that consist of three to 20 animals and are lead by a mature male , which is called a stallion , according to national geographic . the rest of the herd is made up of females and their young .\nif you like your trial issues , you ' ll get 46 more for a total of 50 in all for just $ 1 . 39 per issue \u2014 a savings of 65 % off the cover price ! plus \u2014 receive instant digital access .\ni\u2019ve attended quite a few lectures at the british museum , and i must say this was among the very best . mccall is obviously a thorough and passionate researcher who delights in her subject , and she presents her work with a warmth and humor that makes listening to her truly enjoyable . but of course , katharine woolley was the true star of the show and led a life even more exciting and tragic than could possibly be gleaned from that glamorous photo in room 56 . her story very much deserves to be told , and i thank ms . mccall for sharing it .\nshe who faces death by torture for each life beneath her breast may not deal in doubt or pity -

bitten , macho , super - cool , gritty tales set in the mean streets among low criminals , rooted in a world where real crimes happen . but most english detective fiction has stayed in a realm of quite extraordinary fantasy , firmly set among the middle classes , on the uncomfortable presumption , perhaps , that the lower classes are too boring to write books about , or that crime among them is too common to merit attention . or perhaps it is just that these women like to imagine what a little murder can do to the deadly dullness of a vicarage tea party .\nas these examples illustrate , sexual or affective love , though its strength is recognized , holds little interest for the biblical writers , and in some of these cases \u201cdesire\u201d or even \u201clust after\u201d would be a better translation of \u2019ahab than english \u201clove . \u201d none of them qualifies , in today\u2019s terms , as a love story .\nhorses have live births after around 11 months of gestation . some people mistakenly call baby horses ponies . actually , horse offspring are called foals . ponies are adult horses that are shorter than 56 inches ( 147 cm ) , according to encyclopedia britannica . shetland and welsh horses are common pony breeds .\n. her talk was based on a paper she has written about the mysteries surrounding katharine\u2019s life . as i understood it , there are no current plans to publish the paper , but i hope that changes . a lot of information was presented during the lecture -

yet - beguiling woman , and mccall speculates that every man on the dig was at least a little in love with her . yet katharine was determined that she would never marry again after her disastrous first marriage , and while she very much enjoyed male attention , she refused all romantic overtures . it took a threat to her position with the excavation to change her mind .\nthe most earned by any nominee\u2014gordon ramsay\u2014over the past year . the multi -

( and i ran home and immediately ordered the book from amazon . i found a pristine used copy for less than \u00a33 , shipping included - - sweet ! )\ntexts of desire typically tell only one side of the story , the man\u2019s . of bathsheba we hear only that she came to the king and returned to her house . having been summoned by the king for sex , did she have a choice ? no blame is assigned to bathsheba by the biblical narrator , who , however , by withholding her point of view leaves her open to the charge of seduction . the narrator is preeminently concerned with male desire and its consequences . desire\u2019s irresistible power drives even the king chosen after god\u2019s own heart to break three commandments : he covets another man\u2019s wife , and he commits both adultery and murder . the moral message is encapsulated in god\u2019s condemnation of david , delivered by the prophet nathan :\ntoshiko kasen : you won ' t . . . because while i merely want him dead , you need him dead . in truth , you have already dealt him a severe blow , mr . cipriani . however , he is taking delivery of more munitions today . i want you to steal those weapons from right under his ignorant nose .\nthe effect of the amendment to bill s - 3 made by the senate committee on aboriginal peoples on may 17 , 2017 is to eliminate the two - tier system of status which has relegated indian women and their descendants to a lesser category of status , with more restrictions on their entitlements to obtain and transmit status . the amendment will provide equality under the law for indian women and their descendants born prior to april 17 , 1985 and indian men and their descendants born prior to april 17 , 1985 . canada must stop the ongoing systemic violence against indigenous women legitimized under current indian act legislation .\n) she had been following the dig in the london press and was keen to see it first hand . mccall claims that katharine rarely permitted single women to visit the site because she was reluctant to share the male attention , but an exception was made for christie because katharine admired her work . apparently the two women became fast and unlikely friends , though the relationship was strained when christie struck up a romance with max mallowan , one of the archaeologists on the excavation . it seems christie felt that mallowan liked katharine a bit too much , and that katharine liked his liking her a bit too much . . . after christie and mallowan married in 1930 , christie was no longer welcome on the site , and mallowan soon left as well .\nthat can contribute to an early death . if you have an accident or are struck by a sudden health event , there may not be anyone around to help . you could have some disease state symptom that\u2019s far more likely to be noticed if you regularly interact with other people ( \u201ctoo often the first sign of someone who has been left alone is a funny smell and post backing up in the mailbox . \u201d \u2014\nit is unacceptable that indigenous affairs minister bennett and her department are justifying this ongoing discrimination and violence as acceptable due to \u2018unknown\u2019 issues from the removal of this discrimination , more specifically that as a result of the bill passing , that there will be \u201chundreds of thousands , or even millions , of new indigenous people\u201d ( globe and mail ) . from bennett\u2019s point of view , the enactment of bill s -

be and this forces him to marry the girl , played by mallika kapoor . shortly after their marriage , ramesh ' s father manivannan dies of a heart attack and mallika , out of guilt , that she was the one responsible for all the mishaps immolates herself . ramesh wakes up to this to try and stop this impending future that he believes will unfold before his eyes .\nhis efforts to stop this from happening forms the rest of the story and to everyone ' s surprise the major part of his dream does come true . but as is true for all tamil movies , the incidents don ' t culminate the way it did in his dream .\nin an attempt to establish this trait of ramesh , the director has some funny scenes involving karunas with the latter trying hard to make sure that his dreams don ' t come true . these scenes do raise a few laughs and one particular incident while the two are traveling in the bus where ramesh screams on dreaming a deadly incident forces the driver , played by nellai siva , to stop the bus midway and grab a cup of tea thanking ramesh for waking him up , sends the audience into splits .\nramesh shows remarkable improvement in his performance but definitely hasn ' t reached there yet . karunas adds the necessary pep to the proceedings while saranya and manivannan as ramesh ' s parents carry off their role with ease . mallika kapoor doesn ' t have too much scope to perform .\nsrikanth deva ' s songs fail to stay on after you leave the theatre but his background score makes up for it . cinematography by c . rajasekhar and raja mohammed ' s editing do add some pace to the movie . director gv kumar comes in for adulations for having chosen a wafer thin plot and adding some interesting twists and turns to what is otherwise only an average fare . verdict : time pass , for those with plenty to spare\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nit stars with a dream . the dream of the hero ramesh shows a mishap in a marriage hall . the ` thirumangalyam ' falls down in the fire . the marriage is stalled . ramesh comes forward to marry the girl . a friend is sent to get a new ` thirumangalyam ' but he dies in an accident . the second marriage too gets stalled . the bride is dejected and kills herself . the dream ends .\nit is a dream that comes when ramesh is traveling in a bus to attend a marriage . he ignores it as just a dream . but he is in for a shock when he goes to the marriage hall . the friend of the bride is the same girl , whom he saw in the dream as bride .\nthe marriage goes on without any hiccup . our hero , meanwhile , keeps on seeing many dreams . in the dream he loves the girl , whom he saw dead in his first dream . he starts loving the girl in real life too . when the love develops and leads to marriage , he is afraid that the girl would die as seen in the dream .\n` jithan ' ramesh has portrayed the fear over the dreams well . he as handled the dilemma between the love and the fear very naturally .\nsrikanth deva ' s songs are just about okay . the song ` ther varuthu ' is an enjoyable peppy song . sridhar ' s choreography too has come out well .\nthough the film has nothing special , it does manage to entertain with its fast pace and humour .\nhow do you digest a story where the hero ramesh ( ramesh ) an ordinary guy suddenly starts seeing things that are going to happen in the immediate future ? ramesh goes to a village for the wedding of a friend along with his buddy karupusamy ( karunas ) and he starts getting nightmarish dreams .\nin his dreams he gets nightmares of his friend karupusamy , s death due to a lorry accident , his falling in love with chembakam ( mallika kapoor ) a village girl who is said to be unlucky and on his wedding day his father succumbing to a heart attack . some of his worst dreams come true , while others are averted due to a scientific approach . at the end of it everybody lives happily ever after !\nthere is absolutely no script or any logic . the height of absurdity is the heroine as a child was in love with an eight year old model who appeared in an energy drink advertisement who later after many years turns out to be the hero ! the acting is uniformly z grade and there is nothing to recommend in the film .\nat one point in the film karnas mumbles ; ? this is sanely insane , who wrote the script ? ? quite right . it succinctly sums up this embarrassingly bad film and there ? s absolutely no reason why you should torture yourself through this one .\n{\ntitle\n:\npulivarudhu\n,\nalbumseokeyword\n:\npulivarudhu\n,\nalbumid\n:\nt0001216\n,\nimage\n:\nhttps : \\ / \\ / d1k89quaw9hlgo . cloudfront . net \\ / raagaimg \\ / r _ img \\ / catalog \\ / cd \\ / t \\ / t0001216 . jpg\n,\nreleaseyear\n:\n2007\n,\nmusic\n:\n,\ncast\n:\njithan ramesh , mallika kapoor , karunas\n,\nshare _ link\n:\ntamil \\ / album \\ / pulivarudhu -

[ 26 ]\nunder the direction of fight choreographer stephen \u201cthe fight professor\u201d quadros , the fight sequences in the pit are in equal parts flashy and brutal . for jack\u2019s first match , he takes the novel approach of allowing the reigning champion to pummel him for the first two rounds on the grounds that he\u2019s \u201cgotta let him have his time , out of respect\u201d , before going for the knockout . he pretty much ditches that policy from there on , however , and mauls through every other contender in the pit , with his only serious opposition coming in the form of a brazilian fighter played by stuntman andre \u201cchyna\u201d mccoy .\njack severino has no memory , all he knows is the brutal sport of pit fighting . when his past catches him up , he realizes he is not who he thought he was . for some men must fight for redemption .\nudon has been licensed by capcom to produce an american comic book based on the street fighter franchise , in addition to darkstalkers and rival schools . this series draws not only on the established street fighter canon , but also occasionally addresses various retcons , and even draws from fanon and non - official sources as well . in 2005 , udon released street fighter : eternal challenge , the first capcom series history and art book to be translated into english .\nmade for pennies and fueled by dual themes of pain and redemption , \u201cpit fighter\u201d is well worth a look by martial arts\u2019 movie lovers and mma aficionados alike . those who have trouble with the sight of blood might want to sit this one out , but you\u2019ll surely be hard pressed to find a harder head in all of martial arts cinema than the one belonging to jack severino .\nsteven , peter .\ninterviews : alanis obomsawin .\nin brink of reality : new canadian documentary film and video . toronto : between the lines , 1993 , p . 176 - 186 .\nin 2008 , capcom released a remake of super street fighter ii turbo for the playstation network and xbox live arcade service called super street fighter ii turbo hd remix .

marvel vs . capcom : clash of super - heroes in 1998 , which featured not only street fighter characters , but also characters from other capcom properties ; and marvel vs . capcom 2 : new age of heroes in 2000 , which was produced from the dreamcast - based naomi hardware .\nthe original ex game introduced super cancels and the guard break , mechanic . it was followed by street fighter ex plus , an update that made the secret characters and bosses playable from the start and expanded the roster . a playstation version , street fighter ex plus alpha added new game modes and two more characters from the main series : dhalsim and sakura .\nand once again , both her filming and editing techniques broke new ground . to capture the drama of the pole vault and long jump events , she had holes dug beside the sand pit where the athletes landed . in the high - diving event , which dominated the second part of the film , ' ' festival of beauty , ' ' she used four cameras , including one underwater , to capture the movement of divers from all angles . then , in the editing room , she turned the divers into graceful birds .\nso there ' s only the slightest remnant of actual plot , and the action scenes are pretty brutal . but what about the screenplay ? i ' ve transcribed my very favorite passage from the film right here . see what you think :\nalanis obomsawin is a woman of complexity . her native culture is rooted in the beauty of her early childhood on the odanak reserve and the fight against discrimination and injustice of her teenage years . as a young adult , she became a singer , educator and activist . her work with the national film board , though not without its challenges to a woman and aboriginal filmmaker , has allowed her to further her role , through film , as an educator and advocate for social change , thus living up to her name as a\npathfinder\n. she is a fighter who resonates with compassion and an understanding of the imperfection that underscores what it means to be human :\nthe characters and environments in the game are rendered as 3d models with polygons but use a stylized effect to give them a hand - drawn look , with certain select attacks displaying ink sprays during the fights . the art director and character designer is daigo ikeno , who previously worked on street fighter iii : 3rd strike aims at staying true to the street fighter ii style .\nlater , her films covered more political and social issues , beginning with incident at restigouche ( 1984 ) , a film about the two controversial raids by a battalion of 550 quebec provincial police of a small mi ' kmaq reserve on the restigouche river . the reason given for the raids was that the quebec ministry of fisheries needed to investigate alleged salmon overfishing on the reserve . this film was an important one for alanis because it was one of the first to demonstrate her strength of character . gittings calls alanis ' confrontation of the then quebec minister of fisheries , lucien lessard , one of the\nstrongest scenes\nof any documentary film because she points out the\nhypocrisy and short - sightedness of his position on national sovereignty\n:\nand his great grandfather , big jim arnold , an abertillery greengrocer and\nmountain fighter\n, who had one\nanything - goes\ncontest which went on for more than a day .\nearly jesse v . johnson with a small acting role from scott adkins . this shows some of johnson\u2019s potential early on but isn\u2019t great . lots of well - staged action set pieces and , aptly , pit fights . lots of his signature themes . just not as good as he would later become .\nliving room games planned to release a d20 storytelling game based on the series in 2004 known as street fighter : capcom world tournament . the company planned to release a number of books linking various capcom fighting games related to street fighter such as final fight , darkstalkers , and rival schools . unfortunately the company was unable to release more than a demo and it current fate is on hiatus .\nin 2010 , capcom announced marvel vs . capcom 3 : fate of two worlds for xbox 360 and playstation 3 . the game was released in 2011 . [ 14 ] on july 24 , 2010 , capcom along with namco announced two new fighting games , street fighter x tekken , which is being developed by capcom , and tekken x street fighter which is being developed by namco . [ 15 ]\nthe first official update to the series was street fighter ii ' : champion edition ( pronounced street fighter ii dash in japan , as noted by the prime symbol on the logo ) , which allowed players to play as the four previously non - playable bosses and also allowed two players to choose the same character with one character drawn in an alternate color pattern . [ 5 ] the game also featured slightly improved graphics including differently colored backgrounds and refined gameplay . [ 3 ] a second update , titled street fighter ii ' : hyper fighting , or street fighter ii dash turbo , was produced in response to the various bootleg editions of the game . hyper fighting offered faster gameplay than its predecessors and new special techniques such as chun - li ' s kikoken or dhalsim ' s yoga teleport . [ 6 ]\nanother trading card game , the now discontinued epic battles ( released by score entertainment ) , also featured street fighter characters , as well as characters from other fighting game franchises , such as mortal kombat .\nyet it was not just the minister of fisheries that alanis took it upon herself to confront . it was also necessary for her to challenge certain people at the film board , who thought she shouldn ' t be interviewing\nwhites\n. she responded to these individuals :\nthe gameplay was quite poor , but many of the data files were unoptimized and available for editing . after the game had proliferated to the west , derek liu and brian chan used this information to edit the files into sfliu , [ 30 ] the closest translation of street fighter ii turbo the game engine could allow . after adding in balrog and vega , they updated the files to super street fighter ii standards .\nthe first time the film showed in edmonton . . . i saw many people i assumed were social workers . their faces were severe and some took notes . they looked very unfriendly . i understood . i knew how they felt . after the film , i ' ll tell you , it was dead silence . but when i started to talk the atmosphere changed totally . i said to them , ' i know some of you think i ' ve made this film to point the finger at you . i didn ' t do that . i want all of us to look at what has happened to this child . i want to force the government to change the rules \u2014 to find better foster places for these children . ' . . . i wanted the feeling that this must not happen again .\na sequel , street fighter ex2 , was released for arcades in 1998 . it introduced the excel mechanic , similar to the custom combos seen in the alpha series . an update called street fighter ex2 plus made the excel combos easier to perform , and introduced much more powerful super combos that required all three levels of the super gauge : the meteor combos . ex2 plus , like its predecessor , also received a playstation version .\nthe film won ms . riefenstahl assorted german prizes , and although she again pledged to make no more party films , she then made an 18 - minute documentary , ' ' day of freedom : our army , ' ' about the wehrmacht in 1935 . soon afterward , she was commissioned by the german olympic committee to record the 1936 berlin olympics . to the end of her life , she insisted that ' ' olympia ' ' was not an official film , but ample evidence exists to suggest that it was indirectly financed by goebbels ' s propaganda ministry .\nmalibu comics launched a street fighter comic series in 1993 , but it flopped , lasting only three issues . [ 28 ] asian comic book publications outside japan were also available ; that contains canon - type storylines or totally unrelated to the official backgrounds from street fighter universe ( practically just borrowing characters and their special moves ) . these publications arose at the era when street fighter ii was popular in the asian continent , especially hong kong , singapore , thailand and indonesia ( the most popular publication was from jade dynasty which was based in hong kong ) . [ 29 ] most of these publications were not yet known to be legally licensed from capcom .\nstreet fighter ii : the world warrior , released in 1991 , was the first true sequel to the original street fighter . it was one of the earliest arcade games for capcom ' s cps hardware [ 3 ] and was designed by the duo of akira nishitani ( nin - nin ) and akiman ( akira yasuda ) , who were previously responsible for final fight and forgotten worlds . notably , even when street fighter ii was released , capcom had no idea what sort of phenomenon it was about to create . it believed that the game would do somewhat ( but an unknown quantity ) better than its cps - based contemporary games , final fight and mercs .\nin the brutal world of mexican pit fighting , every brawl could be your last , and even if you do win there ' s no guarantee of survival . few fighters can claim the endurance of mysterious pit - fighting champion jack , and though he may have no memory of his past that certainly doesn ' t hold him back from becoming one of the most formidable fighters that the underworld has ever seen . as his shadowy past is slowly illuminated by the growing recollections of the unsavory characters who populate this sordid universe , jack soon begins to realize that his past may be returning with a vengeance , and it may take every ounce of strength and courage to see the dawn of another day .\nthe film , which took almost two years to edit from 250 miles of raw footage , included such innovative techniques as moving cameras , including one on a tiny elevator attached to a flagpole behind the speaker ' s podium that provided sweeping panoramic views ; the use of telephoto lenses to create a foreshortening effect ( for example , when filming a parade of nazi flags ) ; frequent close - ups of wide - eyed party faithful ; and heroic poses of hitler shot from well below eye level . the film also used ' ' real sound ' ' but was accompanied by no commentary .\nthe on - rail sections don\u2019t have the complexity or variety of sin & punishment but you\u2019re not just controlling a gun sight and have to move main character pit around the screen to avoid attacks and looming scenery . the strict scoring system rewards precision attacks and punishes mindless blasting , with a charge attack that takes a couple of seconds to wind up .\ngittings adds that\nby the end of the interview and the end of the film , lessard makes a personal apology for any problems his actions may have caused .\n( gittings , p . 218 ) this is one of the prime examples of alanis\nfighting back\nin her adult life .\nafter the defeat of germany in 1945 , she was pronounced a nazi sympathizer by the allies and never again found work as a movie director . but her revolutionary film techniques deeply influenced later generations of documentary makers and television commercial makers , keeping alive the debate over whether her talent could be separated from her prewar political views .\nyou like wwf ? your intelligence is 5 / 10 or less ? you like movies with the fat steven seagal ? you like movies with scenarios completely stupid ? more they are punch , more you like ? more there are ketchup ( blood ) more you ? in this case you ' ll love this\nmovie\ncrap . film was probably not written a monkey . it makes no sense . there are only fighting crap . i give him 2 / 10 . 1 for the technical ( sound , image , etc . ) . 1 for the very beautiful and sexy giselle d ' cole . to flee if you have intelligence higher than a monkey . otherwise , this film is for you .\nobomsawin calls film a ' place ' where native people can talk to each other about their losses , their memories of injustice , their desire to share what is good about their way of life , and with that sharing as viewers of her documentaries perhaps arrive at a better appreciation of how the dispossessed , dislocated , and disoriented try to come out of the abyss . this social realism is what makes obomsawin narratives potent and cathartic ; they are like the axiom which says one has to deal with the poison before a process of healing can begin . to her as director / producer / writer , film must attempt to transform people and society ; it must be an artifice of social reform .\nthese films gave her the image of a romantic heroine in the wagnerian cast , in harmony with nature and bent on fighting evil . her often dangerous roles - - she climbed rock faces barefoot and was once almost swept away by an avalanche provoked by fanck - - also showed her to be fearless . in 1932 she directed her first movie , ' ' the blue light , ' ' another mountain film , in which she appeared as a warm - hearted peasant girl . ( the names of her jewish co - writer , bela balazs , and the film ' s jewish producer , harry sokal , were removed from the credits when ' ' the blue light ' ' was reissued in 1938 . )\nthe arcade version was developed by incredible technologies and had many alterations to the street fighter ii formula . most of the street fighter ii fighters were included , plus a couple of new characters : sawada , from the movie , and blade , a character with a bazooka , knives , and stun rod . the game also marked the first time akuma was selectable by default . some characters have new moves inspired by the movie , such as m . bison ' s lightning bolt fingertips attack , most of which were exclusive to this game .\nrather than being a mere update , street fighter alpha 2 ended up being a full sequel ( to alpha ) , featuring all - new stages and endings for each character , some overlapping with those from the original alpha . [ 9 ] it also discarded the chain combo system in favor of custom combos , which required a portion of the super combo meter to be used . alpha 2 also retained all thirteen characters from the original , adding five new characters to the roster along with hidden versions of returning characters . alpha 2 was followed by a slightly updated arcade release titled street fighter zero 2 alpha and was released in japan , asia and brazil , was ported to home consoles as street fighter alpha 2 gold ( zero 2 dash in japan ) . the home versions added cammy as a hidden character .\nthe final game in the series , street fighter ex3 , was released exclusively for the playstation 2 and did not receive and arcade version . this game included team battle and tag - team modes , and ace , a character whose moveset could be customized by the player .\nconfessions of a pit fighter is a character driven action film about regret , consequences and the triumph of the human spirit . eddie castillo is a quiet man . he has survived seven years of incarceration in the state pen and wants nothing more than to live out his life in relative tranquility . he moves in with you younger brother david who as a kid , idolized him . castillo soon learns that the\ntranquility\nhe was seeking is shattered by david getting involved in illegal underground fights , the same type of fights that coincidentally led castillo to prison . as much as castillo tries to get david to go straight , he has to make his own way . david eventually gets killed in an underground fight and this sets castillo on a collision course with destiny . having no other choice , castillo goes back into the underground fight game to find his brother ' s killer . castillo sets out for revenge and in the process forsakes it for redemption .\nfrom the day i was born i had to fight to survive . i fought . . .\nsuper street fighter ii : the new challengers , the third revision , gave the game a complete graphical overhaul and introduced four new playable characters : cammy , fei long , dee jay , and t . hawk . this game gave previous characters new basic moves , such as giving vega standing kicks , new special moves , such as vega ' s diving claw , and improvements to existing special moves , such as ryu ' s flaming fireball or ken ' s flaming dragon punch . it was also the first game for capcom\u2019s cps ii arcade hardware . the fourth arcade version , super street fighter ii turbo , ( super street fighter ii x : grand master challenge in japan ) , brought back the faster gameplay of hyper fighting , along with a new type of special techniques known as super combos and hidden character akuma .\nhe and vandenberg first square off during the opening fight before meeting up for a rematch later on in the best , and most blood - soaked duel of the film . of course , jack is a man to whom pain means nothing , and he quickly heals up for the finale , where he single - handedly stands off against an entire platoon of veneno\u2019s cartel enforcers . you may have to overlook the laughably bad marksmenship of jack\u2019s foes , but it\u2019s a pretty spectacular way to finish a flick with a modest $ 600 , 000 budget , and closes the film out on a fitting note ( especially with respect to the soundtrack of the final sequence ) that brings jack\u2019s quest for redemption for his murderous past full circle .\nif there\u2019s any truth to the phrase \u201cno pain , no gain\u201d , then our anti - hero jack should be a millionaire . over the course of the film , he\u2019s shot , beaten , stitched , healed , and beaten again so many times that you have to wonder if he\u2019s ever gone a day in his life without pushing through some form of extreme pain .\nwhite wolf released a storytelling game based on the series in 1994 ( featuring characters from super street fighter ii ) . the system used many of the game mechanics of the world of darkness games . the system is now out of print but retains a small following on the internet .\nkung - fu kingdom ( kfk ) is a team of dedicated martial arts enthusiasts . we are writers , martial arts practitioners and film - makers consumed by a passion for everything connected to the martial arts , and we love sharing it ! so whether it\u2019s about movies , books , training techniques , philosophy , stunts or seminars , we hope to inspire and stimulate your inner warrior !\nfrom this film , obomsawin went on to create another important work , richard cardinal : cry from a diary of a m\u00e9tis child ( 1986 ) , a poignant look at the short life of a m\u00e9tis adolescent who committed suicide after having been shuffled in and out of 28 foster homes and institutions . alanis felt very strongly about what happened to richard , saying ,\ni tell the kids to look at the loss that we have , what a poet he was . he ' s gone . it ' s too bad nobody realized , what happened , how he got there .\n( steven , p . 182 ) the film also provided a penetrating look at the child welfare system in alberta at the time , and it brought about change . says alanis :\nit is this combination of strength and courage to challenge intermingled with compassion that define her as a filmmaker of substance and integrity . similarly , alanis has never wanted to publicize her own challenges as an aboriginal woman filmmaker in the male world of film . rather than speak out on her personal struggles , her priority is to advocate for social change and to bring the voices of aboriginal peoples to the forefront :\nof course , he gives just as good as he gets , and vandenberg delivers a well - rounded portrayal of a genuinely good - natured guy who can transform into an absolute beast at the drop of a hat . even when he\u2019s out of the pit , you simply can\u2019t help but marvel at the scenes of jack shadowboxing and how blindingly fast his hands are ; he\u2019s basically taken muhammad ali\u2019s saying \u201cfloat like a butterfly , sting like a bee\u201d and replaced the word \u201cbee\u201d with \u201cwasp\u201d .\nsince then , alanis has made several other films , including one on an addictions recovery center near edmonton , one on homeless people in montr\u00e9al , and a film about a day care center in montr\u00e9al \u2014 all about aboriginal institutions serving aboriginal people . then came the events at oka , and the series of films that evolved from behind - the - scenes film footage , including the arrest of one of the individuals involved in the stand - off and a personal look at one of the\nwarriors\n, an iron worker who had worked on high rises in new york city . more recent films include is the crown at war with us ? ( 2002 ) , which depicts the violence and racial tension evident in the political events concerning the new brunswick fisheries near the mi ' kmaq community of esgenoopetitj ( burnt church ) .\nobomsawin ' s films represent a corrective to the historical exclusion of native image in film , the vast majority of it has been created without the consent and most often without the control of the native person whose image is being taken and utilized in media . i really believe alanis is using a medium to provide a voice and a story for a lot of people who historically have not had that opportunity .\nstreet fighter has been ported , without capcom ' s authorization , to the famicom in asia . it has appeared in several multicarts in china . one of the popular titles was known as master fighter , that had several sequels ( including one featuring nintendo character mario ) . due to memory limitations of the famicom system , the bootleg copy was unable to list all the available rosters ; the only characters available are ryu , guile , chun - li , zangief and non - playable m . bison ( his original japanese name vega , was misspelled as viga ) . another title is super fighter iii , and due also to hardware limitations , only nine among the normal roster of twelve are selectable characters ( missing were balrog , e . honda , and zangief ) . character names , captions and subtitles during the endings are also removed . chun - li ' s stage was redesigned as the forbidden city outdoors rather than one of china ' s busy streets .\nstana katic plays marianne , a woman from jack\u2019s past whose appearance jogs his memory , while stephen graham portrays her close associate harry . some of jack\u2019s opponents in his underground fights including veteran stunt performers and martial artists like andre \u201cchyna\u201d mccoy , eric muller , and edwin villa , with even the incredible scott adkins showing up in the film , albeit in the non - fighting role of jack\u2019s old ally nathan . go figure !\nstreet fighter ii was the first one - on - one fighting game to give players a choice from a variety of player characters , an option which created hitherto unknown levels of depth and replay value for an arcade game . [ 3 ] each player character had a fighting style with roughly 30 or more moves , including previously nonexistent grappling moves such as throws , as well as two or three special hidden attacks per character . in the game ' s single - player mode , the player ' s chosen character is pitted against the seven other main characters before confronting the final four opponents , who were cpu - controlled characters that were not selectable by the player . like in the original , a second player could join in and compete against the other player in competitive matches , with the multiple available characters allowing for more varied matches . street fighter ii proved to be popular due to all these factors , eclipsing its predecessor in popularity , eventually turning street fighter into a multimedia franchise .
